| Hey, I�m glad to see that you�re reading my stuff! I appreciate it! Well, this is the 2nd teaser for a new series I�d like to work on, but if I don�t get any feedback, I might not continue it. So, if you like this fic and you�d like to see more like it, then drop me a line at [email protected]. So, anyway, here�s the fic, read it and enjoy! (Maybe�) Angel- Part 2- Teaser Duo�s pov By Pilot02 He sighed. He was tired. Tired of play-acting that everything was okay. It wasn�t. Sometimes he didn�t even know why he tried. In a few days, he was to be sent to earth on a mission. A mission that he had no information on. One that even his superiors didn�t know the details on. He sighed again, then looked up at the sound of someone coming toward him. �Duo! The Boss has some more information for you; I think it�s about your mission. You�d better hurry. Boss sounded a bit frustrated.� Hilde, a fellow dark angel, said. Hilde was a bit shorter than Duo, even though she was older, and that made her really short since Duo was just over five-feet himself. �All right, I�ll go. Maybe I�ll be back later, it just depends on what High-and-Mighty himself wants me to do. Thanks for telling me.� Duo then retreated toward the Boss�s quarters. Later, after Duo�s meeting with the Boss �Why do I have to get this job?? Aggghhhh! This wasn�t in the job description,� He muttered, trying to use a bit of humor to keep himself from losing control and blowing himself into oblivion, taking all of creation with him. Luckily for everyone, he did a very good job, and went to say goodbye to Hilde, the only one of the dark angels who could see the true Duo, the one hidden behind the cheerful mask. �So, Duo, what�s your mission? I�m surprised he�s letting you go, after all, you aren�t actually of age, ya know. And who knows what kind of distractions you�ll run across, and you haven�t even been assigned a.. I hate to say it this way.. but you haven�t been assigned a mate, either, Duo. And everyone knows that you aren�t exactly the most devoted guy as it is-� Hilde started a long lecture. She tried her best to keep the violet-eyed dark angel out of trouble, because she wanted to be his mate, his �significant other�, as they were referred to in the light angels� territory. She frowned a bit at the thought of the light angels. She really did not like them much at all. She was a dark angel, and she was proud of it. If not for the black robes and black wings, one could recognize her as a dark one from the horns on her head. Of course they were fake, but they looked very real, and she liked the look they gave her. �Hilde, stop it! I�ve heard that lecture from the Boss already, and I don�t need to hear it from you as well. I have to go and get ready to leave. I�m leaving right away on this mission. Don�t worry about me, Hilde, I�ll be fine. I�m a big boy now. I will see you when I get back, ok?� Duo interrupted. Hilde nodded, then grabbed Duo�s robe as he turned to leave. He turned around, with a confused look on his face. �What is it, Hilde?� He asked. �Well, it�s just that, well, what can you tell me about your mission, Duo?� Hilde struggled to find words to express what she really wanted to say, but she gave up and asked him that question instead. �Well, not much, actually, since I don�t even know too much about it myself. The only thing I can tell you is that I will have a partner. A light angel. I think Boss said his name was� something like hero�. Ah! That�s it! Heero � Yuy. That�s it. Heero Yuy.� �Duo! This must be a very big mission, and already you aren�t taking it seriously! No wonder they never let you go on any missions- Uh, Duo, did you just say your partner was a LIGHT angel?� Hilde said, Duo�s words finally sinking in to her head. �Yeah, that�s what I said, Hilde. Gee, don�t take it so hard, I�m sure it won�t be that bad.� Hilde kept her composure on the outside, but inside, she was furious. �How dare they partner her beloved Duo with one of those� those goody-goody two-shoes light angels? Why could she not go?� �Well, I suppose that if you think you can handle it then you�ll be ok, just promise me you�ll come home after the mission. Promise me that you won�t get hurt. Promise me that you�ll be careful and that you won�t do anything foolish or irrational. Think carefully about your every move, ok? Now, you�d better go now, so that none of the High Powers get upset with you. So go!� With that, she pushed him in the general direction of his small, one room cottage. She didn�t even realize that she hadn�t given him time to respond to anything she had said, since her mind was so muddled with anger. Duo took the not-so subtle hint and took off toward his home, leaving Hilde behind in the darkness that had overtaken the land. In his room, Duo grabbed a black backpack and proceeded to pack what meager belongings he had collected over the various -and few- missions that he had been involved in. His possessions included a well-worn black hat; a few random books; a nice hairbrush; a photo album that was, unfortunately, empty; and a very nice digital/ 35mm camera. (It could take either 35mm or digital pictures, and it was a professional model.) He then left the room, and headed toward the Mission Preparation building, as it was commonly known as. Once there, he was fitted with a nice wardrobe -black, of course- and he was hustled off to head to his destination where he and his mission partner were to stay. �Once I�m there, I really have to meet this guy. After all, the Boss wouldn�t allow just any light angel to work with one of the dark. Oh well. No use wasting brain cells for something like that, so I�ll just sit back, and enjoy the in-flight movie.� He smiled at his own joke, knowing that it would only take a matter of seconds for him to be transported to the safe house. �Well, so much for a Sunday evening matinee.� |
