This is a AU story. There are two warring factions of Vampires in this universe along with the humans who are caught between them. One faction coexists with humans and treats them as equals. The other faction believes that humans are little better than animals and have no rights.

Part One
Treize looked out over the ramparts of the castle and sighed. He was tired of all the fighting, but at least now not all the humans thought that his race was out to enslave them. Over the past year his faction had signed several treaties with the rebel humans who had not been enslaved or destroyed yet. The main rebel group led by Father Maxwell would be coming today to sign a treaty. Maxwell’s group had been the deadliest and the most successful in wiping out entire tribes of the enemy. "Sir, the Maxwells have been sighted. They should be here in the next half hour". Treize turned to look at one of his generals. Trowa had been with him a long time and he was very dependable; his bonded Quatre was with him. Trowa and Quatre had been bonded for 50 years now. Treize still marveled at the advantages of modern medicine. His race had long been drawn to humans but most relations with them had ended in pain due to the humans short life spans. Finally they had discovered the way to prolong human life and aging to match their own. A serum had been formed from their blood that resulted in prolonged life and youth after an initial true blood transference. The other faction, Ozites, despised them because of their attachment to humans. He also had a bonded, Wufei, and he would sacrifice all to keep him safe. "Make sure they are welcomed properly at the gate Trowa, and make sure Heero knows they are arriving. He will be responsible for their safety". "I already know of their approach general". "Heero, good you can handle their welcome, get Quatre to help you, he’s very good with that". Trowa, Quatre and Heero made their way down stairs to begin preparations. "I hear that the one the Ozites dubbed shinigami is with their party", said Quatre. "I wonder what he looks like? They say he’s the reason Father Maxwell’s group is so dangerous. They also say Father Maxwell closely guards his identity". Trowa ruffled Quatre’s hair affectionately, "If I were you I’d be worried about what kind of meal we’re going to serve them". Heero was mostly silent as always. Trowa sighed and wondered if anyone would ever melt his friends stone heart. Heero had once been loving and open, but that was before he had been betrayed by his best friend and his tribe had been wiped out as a result. Heero had gotten his revenge, but his heart and trust had died that day. He lived now only to wipe out the Ozites.
Father Maxwell eyed the castle with some trepidation, he hoped he was making the right decision by entering into a treaty with Treize’s group. He heard a whisper of sound and looked beside him. Duo grinned cheekily up at him. Father Maxwell couldn’t help the smile that formed on his lips in return. Quit fretting about this old man, we’ve done our homework and we know their friends to humans" "Old man? I ought to put you over my knee you impish pup". Duo laughed and sassed him back, "Got to catch me first old timer". Duo jumped out of reach and ran back to the children to continue entertaining them. Father Maxwell continued to smile, Duo had wanted to lift his dark mood and as usual had succeeded. He regretted not one day since he had found and adopted the orphan Duo. Duo was the light of his life and had been a generous and loving son. He was a bright light in the darkness of this world, and he had supported every person in this group at one time or another.
Father Maxwells thoughts were interupted by screaming. "Damn, are we being attacked. Have we walked into a trap". A vampire can flying at him and attached. Father Maxwell fell down and drove a silver dagger in the monsters heart as it fell on him. He quickly got up to help the others, but saw that he wasn’t needed. Nine more of the monsters lay dead and three stood facing off with his pride and joy, Duo, also known as Shinigami. Duo grinned as the three surrounded him.
"Surrender and we’ll let the others go, you must be shinigami. You’re the only one we want". "Eat shit and die bloodsucker". Duo threw one of his daggers faster than the vampire could react and killed him with a shot to the heart. One of the remaining vampires grabbed him, but Duo easily slipped out of his grip, tripped him and fired a silver bullet into his head. He spun and fired another bullet into the heart of the final vampire. "Impressive, I didn’t humans could be that fast". Duo jumped and immediately aimed his gun at the new voice. He found himself pinned before he could fire off a shot. Duo stared into the most intense blue eyes he had ever encountered. "Relax, I’m with Treize’s group. We heard the fight and came to help. Duo looked around and saw that the rest of the group was being tended for injuries and relaxed. The vampire got up and offered him a hand. Duo grinned up at the vampire, "So blue eyes got a name?". "Heero". "Glad to meet ya, hey where ya going? Hey you got a nice ass" Heero froze, he didn’t just say what I though he said did he? Heero turned and gave a death glare, which was totally ignored as the boy smirked at him before going to help tend the wounded. Duo walked over to Father Maxwell who was talking to a tall vampire with really weird hair and a cute innocent looking blond boy. "Duo this is Trowa and Quatre, they’ve come to assist us and escort us to the castle. "I’m pleased to meet you". Quatre looked at Duo and smiled sweetly, I think we will become good friends he decided as they began to complete their journey to the castle.
PART 2
"I’m gonna get you", shouted Duo as he chased a group of children through the courtyard. Duo and Quatre were shooting the children with water guns as they ran squealing for a good hiding place. Duo spotted Heero talking to Treize in the courtyard and a devilish grin formed on his face. Heero’s back was to Duo and Duo began to creep up on the too serious vampire. "Duo, he’s gonna kill you, I wouldn’t if I were you", pleaded Quatre. As usual Duo didn’t listen and fired off a shot of water that hit Heero squarely in the face as he whirled to see who was trying to sneak up on him. Duo eeped and took off running with a furious Heero in hot pursuit shouting "Omae O Koruso!!!". Treize was trying very hard not to laugh out loud at the youths antics. Things had certainly not been quiet since Father Maxwell’s group had moved in. Most of it was due to the bright soul that was Duo Maxwell. He lightened up everyone’s mood no matter what the circumstance. He got along with everyone but, seemed to take particular pleasure out of getting a reaction out of Heero. Treize had NEVER seen anyone get to Heero the way Duo could, he hoped Duo could reach Heero’s stone heart and teach him to live again. Heero finally caught Duo by grabbing his ridiculously long braid. Duo yelped as he was brought up short and dragged backwards. Heero dragged Duo to the lake, picked him up and tossed him into the freezing water. Duo came up sputtering and to the laughter of the children who had greatly enjoyed the antics. As Duo came ashore, Heero drew in a sharp breath, maybe he shouldn’t have thrown him in after all. Duo’s baggy clothes were now clinging tightly to his body and very little was left to the imagination. Duo’s body appeared to be as beautiful as the rest of him. Heero abruptly turned and stormed away leaving a confused Duo behind. "This can’t be happening, For the last decade I’ve been able to shut people out.
If you don’t let anyone close, then you won’t be left open for betrayal and pain. How does he get through to me? Why can’t I stop thinking about him and shut him out like I do everyone else." Heero had been having disturbing dreams since he met Duo. Most of them involved him and Duo intertwined, he had admired the boy’s beauty from day one. As he got to know the enigma called Duo Maxwell better, his attraction only grew stronger. Duo seemed determined to draw him out. Duo was a bright soul and he was only darkness, why would Duo even bother with him? Heero sighed he didn’t know how much longer he could resist his instinct, which was to grab the silly fool and screw him even sillier. Well at least a mission was coming up soon, that would distract him from these unsettling feelings.
Duo sighed as he watched Heero walk away. A hand fell on his shoulder and he turned to see Quatre looking at him in concern. "Why do you take chances like that Duo, Heero is famous for his lack of a sense of humor and his temper." Duo looked at Quatre and finally replied, "I push at him because he’s hurting. He’s slowly dying inside, I want to help him if I can. I can see the person he used to be deep in his eyes and I don’t want that person to die. I think I’m in love with him". "Just be careful Duo, he won’t kill you, but he could hurt you pretty badly and I don’t want to see that happen to you!". Duo smiled and walked to the main hall, they had a mission to plan.
The mission plan was pretty simple, there was an enslaved village near by and the objective was to kill the Ozitie vampires and free the humans. They had decided the best way to suceed in the plan was to have someone on the inside to open the gates. The master vampire was known to like pretty boys so Duo would be the bait in the trap. Heero had never had doubts about a mission before, but he had plenty about this one.
He wished he could deny that it was due to Duo being in so much danger. Duo would only have a very thin long silver knitting needle hidden in his hair to defend himself with. "I’m as ready as I’ll ever be", Duo announced. Duo slipped out of the hidden camp and made his way to the village. He was dressed as a traveling minstrel and carried a flute that he could play very well. Upon entering the gates he was grabbed by a vampire guard "My, My what a succulent little piece we have here". The guard kissed Duo hard on the mouth as he struggled to get away. "Just what do you think your doing guard, bring him to me so I can get a better look at him" an imperious voice demanded. Duo shivered at the way the hunger and lust in the master vampires eyes. "Take him and clean him up, he’ll entertain me tonight". Duo was stripped and bathed in perfumed water. He was dressed in a filmy pair of harem pants of deep purple. The waistband rode low on his hips and was a lighter shade of purple as were the ankle bands. He was given a matching open vest to where over his chest. His hair was left down and a slender gold headband with a dark amethyst hanging down on his forehead. The slave dressing him finished up with a matching stone placed in Duo’s navel and some kohl outlining his eyes. Duo looked stunning and knew he was in trouble when the master vampire practically drooled at seeing him. "Come here lovely one, I won’t bite; at least not yet". Duo smiled seductively and sauntered over to the vampire, he had slipped the silver needle out of his hair unnoticed during his bath and had slipped into the waistband. He slowly slipped it out as he leaned over and kissed the vampire to distract him, just as he was about to drive it through the vampire’s skull when a guard came into the room. Duo kicked the master in the head, threw the needle with deadly accuracy into the guard’s eye and ran from the room outside towards the gate. "Stop him, I want him alive" shouted the master.
Duo pulled off the locking bar of the gate just as he was grabbed and pinned. The other guards tried to stop Treize’s group from entering the village, but it was too late. Opposing forces can together in a violent clash, most of the human slaves ran for cover, but some of the bolder ones joined in the fighting. Trowa and Heero were too of the most ruthless fighters cutting a bloody path through the enemy. Quatre grabbed Duo and pulled him out of the line of fighting, "Stop it Quatre, let me go! I can help them". "Think Duo", pleaded Quatre, "You don’t have your weapons on you only that thin silver needle for emergencies. Trowa and Heero wanted us both to stay out of the way". Duo didn’t like it, but had to agree, he didn’t have his weapons and he certainly wasn’t dressed for combat in his "boy-toy" outfit. Both of them watched the fierce fighting and saw their side gradually began to route the enemy. "There you are my treacherous slave" came a deadly voice from behind them. It was the master vampire. Duo grabbed Quatre and pushed him behind his body. "That’s Rava, He’s one of top generals in the Ozite tribe" hissed Quatre. "Did you think you would escape punishment for your treachery"? Rava said as he closed in on the two humans. "Let Quatre go, he’s not a part of your problem with me". "Oh but he is, it will cause you pain when I kill him. I’m not going to kill you pretty one, that would be too merciful" Rava lunged towards Duo and slammed him into a wall; then he turned his attention to Quatre. Quatre refused to cower or beg for his life, cold hands closed around his throat and began to brutally squeeze. Duo shook his head and cried out as he saw Rava slowly killing Quatre. He jumped onto Rava’s back and drove the silver needle through his neck. Rava screamed in rage and pain, letting go of Quatre as he grabbed Duo and pulled the needle out of his neck. Quatre lay on the ground semi-conscious and was unable to help Duo. Rava pinned Duo’s arms to his side with one arm and then used his free hand to grab Duo’s hair, yank back and expose his neck. Duo cried out in pain as Rava sank his fangs in and began to suck out Duo’s blood. "I Always figured a vamp would get me one day", he thought as he began to black out.
Heero was covered in blood. They had killed all the opposing vampires except the master vampire, rumor had it he was Rava. He was still in the village, Heero could feel that. Heero turned a corner and snarled in rage as he saw Rava holding Duo, his fangs deep in the boy’s neck. He roared a challenge and attacked. Rava threw Duo at the oncoming Vampire and attacked as the other caught the boy and set him down. "Stupid child, do you really think you’re a match for me? I’ve killed liitle nothings like you for centuries!" Heero smiled a coldly, "You shouldn’t have hurt Duo, I’ll make you suffer for that". "Is that his name, after I finish with you I’m going to enjoy his body and then drain him dry." Heero attacked unleashing a spin kick to Rava’s face. The fight raged between them for some time before Heero finally gained the upper hand. He broke Rava's shoulder and then quickly followed up by breaking both legs. Heero looked down at Rava, then picked him up and threw him into a burning building. Rava’s screams went on for a long time before they finally stopped. Trowa raised an eyebrow at Heero. "I promised him he was going to suffer, I always keep my promises. Where’s Duo and Quatre? Are they ok"? "Yeah Father Maxwell has them and they are already headed back to the Castle. Are you going to admit how you feel about him? I’ve known you a long time Heero and you’ve never reacted that way about anyone before". Heero headed back towards the castle without answering Trowa, he had a lot to think about. I feel so possessive and protective towards Duo, he thought, when did this happen. How did he get past my defenses. He’s the only one who makes me smile, he makes me feel almost human again.
Kso! I guess I have to admit it, somehow he made me fall in love with him. When he recovers, I’ll admit how I feel and ask him to bond with me.
PART 3
Duo bounced around the courtyard singing a dirty drinking song. It had been 1 month since he had been attacked by Rava and he finally had been pronounced fully recovered. Heero had spent a good bit of that time hovering much to Duo’s surprise. Duo hoped he had finally touched the stoic vampires heart. "Duo can I talk to you"? Duo looked over and saw Heero had joined him. I…Well I….You just…Kso, YOU HAVE TO BOND WITH ME. There I got it out". "Well, that was romantic Romeo", Sighed Duo. Heero’s face became emotionless as he interpreted that as a rejection. "I shouldn’t have said that, I won’t bother you again". "Heero matte! I wasn’t rejecting you. I love you". "What! Do…do you mean it? How can someone as bright and beautiful as you want a dark soul like me"? "Because I have always been able to see the kind and gentle soul you have buried deep beneath the hurt and betrayal. You show that person to me in more ways than you are even aware of". Heero felt tears in his eyes for the first time since the destruction of his village. He didn’t know what he’d done to deserve someone like Duo, but he was never going to let him go. "I’ll tell Treize you’ve accepted. The new moon is tomorrow, would you like to have the bonding ceremony then"? Duo smiled and nodded, he had plans to make and he needed to tell Father Maxwell. Duo located Father Maxwell and Quatre near by. "Did you know what he was going to ask me"? "We suspected my son. If you love him then I’m happy for you. I know he will protect and love you". "Oh Duo, you don’t know how much we all hoped for this.
He was withdrawing more and more from everyone who cared about him; until you came along. We’ve all noticed the changes in him over the past year. He’s returning to life and it’s because of you. I just know you’ll be happy". "It’s strange, but the moment I met him, I knew he would be a important part of my life". "Enough gossiping my son, lets get ready for tomorrow’s ceremony.
Duo waited nervously to be escorted into the ceremony chamber. He looked stunning with his hair down and a silk tuxedo that matched the color of his amethyst eyes. Treize had explained the ceremony to him. Heero would drink some of his blood and he in turn had to drink some of Heero’s blood. They would then be escorted to a bridal chamber to consumate their union. On the morrow, Duo would begin to receive the serum once a month to slow down his aging so that he and Heero could age together. Treize had also informed him that he and Heero would have a empathic connection after bonding and in time it could even develop into a telepathic bond. "Duo we’re ready". Duo walked into the room and gasped at how handsome his love looked. Heero was dressed in a cobalt blue silk tux that matched his eyes as well. They met in the center of the chamber surrounded by their friends and family. Heero began, "I have asked Duo Maxwell to be my bonded. If he accepts I will cherish and protect him as long as I live". Duo smiled sweetly at Heero before answering, "I accept Heero and choose to enter the bond with him. I will love and tend to Heero to my death and beyond". Heero actually smiled in public after hearing this vow. "Witness my friends the forming of the bond". Heero drew Duo to him and kissed him on the lips hungrily, as Duo lost himself in the kiss, Heero began to kiss down his face and reached his neck. Duo moaned as Heero sucked on his neck at his jugular before sinking his fangs into Duo’s neck.
Duo’s blood was hot and sweet to Heero and he had to fight down the blood lust that urged him to take more nad more of Duo’s blood. He pulled back and used a small dagger to open the jugular his own neck. He gently drew Duo to his neck, "Drink my angel and complete the bond to me". Duo drank Heero’s blood until he was gently pulled away for a hard kiss from Heero. Treize came forward and took Heero’s arm, while Quatre took Duo’s arm and they were led to the bridal suite to complete the bonding.
Heero drew Duo to the bed and ran his hands over his body. "I have dreamed of this for so long, let me love you Duo". Duo answered by removing his clothes and sttod nude before Heero. Heero admired the beauty before him and quickly joined Duo in a state of undress. Heero pulled Duo down onto the bed and began to rub and lightly pinch his nipples. Duo moaned reached down to run his hands over Heero’s tight butt. Heero began to kiss his way down Duo’s body and replaced his hands with his mouth and began to suck on Duo’s nipples. His hands moved further down to briefly tease Duo’s erection before settling on Duo’s nicely rounded rump. Heero leaned down and ran his tongue up the underside of Duo’s penis. Duo wrapped his hands in Heero’s hair and urged him closer to his aching member. Heero grinned up at Duo before taking Duo’s erection in his mouth. Duo cried out as Heero sucked his penis and he began to thrust in Heero’s mouth. Heero continued to pleasure his lover until he felt Duo tense up to come and then pulled away. "Heero", Duo protested. Heero just smiled and reached for some scented oil. He rubbed the oil on his fingers and then began to apply it to Duo’s hidden pucker with one finger. Duo initially tensed-up but gradually relaxed as it began to feel good. Heero added another finger and then a third finger until he had stretched Duo enough to enter him. Heero guided Duo’s legs around hi waist, "Look at me Duo, I want to look into your eyes as I take you".
Duo looked deep into Heero’s eyes and he could see the deep love as he entered Duo. He gave Duo a few minutes to adjust to his size before he gave into his instinct and began to move. Duo had never felt anything like this. It felt so good, then Heero hit a sensitive spot and Duo cried out in pleasure and began to push back to meet Heero’s thrusts. The tempo became faster and faster until the bond asserted itself. Heero could feel his own pleasure as well as Duo’s pleasure, Duo was feeling this as well. They could feel the strong love they felt for each other as Heero gave a final hard thrust that released a mind blowing climax for both of them. Heero sighed and looked at his bonded, "Forever". "Forever", Duo agreed. They knew they still had many battles ahead with the Ozites, but for now they could enjoy the brief respite.
