A Gundam Wing crossover with Anita Blake Vampire Hunter.

DISCLAIMERS:    GW is not mine * sob sob* I do not own it and never will. I'm just a poor student, suing me will bring lots of laughs. Besides I'm only borrowing them. * Gorgeous bishonen….drool*

The Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series is not mine, it is the work of an extremely talented woman whom I adore. The one and only, Laurell k. Hamilton. All hail the Lady……HAIL HAIL 

As you will see this story is AU and the only thing about GW that is constant is the guy's names and physical descriptions. Everything else is all my idea.

And now onto the story…….



Part one

Another night, another senseless killing. Why can't I have a normal life? A few months ago I battled a demon with only my faith, it seems as though God is okay with who and what I am. If so then he's a whole lot more generous than I am. I was on call with R.P.I.T <1>, Dolph and Zerbrowski had paged me,  it was the first day of semi-normalcy in a really long while. Of course then I saw the body, Disemboweled and Decapitated. It was horrible, as usual there were no leads, it appeared to be an attack of an undetermined nature and there were no suspects although it was assured that the crime was of a preternatural nature.

So here I am, once again on my way to confer with Jean-Claude and Richard, the two men in my life. Did I mention I was part of a triumvirate?<2>

Yup little ole me, Anita Blake Vampire executioner, in love with no less than a Master Vampire-Jean-Claude and an alpha werewolf- Richard Zeeman. I am a necromancer. Apparently the most powerful ever, perhaps even more so . But lets not get into that, anyway I've been avoiding them ever since the demon affair. I'm drowning in myself but Marianne <3> has been helping me to keep my head above the water at least for now.

I thought I could see them without falling down the abyss I was slowly trying to climb out of, I never thought something would happen that would be deeper than my association with them. Boy was I wrong.

I hadn't been home more than a few hours when there was a knock at the door. Always wary I answered it with my browning<4> in hand, What I saw took my breath away. An angel….okay not an angel but damn near close. Long brown hair with golden and red highlights<5>, bangs just over his eyes which were nearly violet in colour, full pouting lips, long limbed and graceful and Damn! What a smile. He was beautiful.

'Yes?' I asked.

'Anita Blake?' came the reply

Oh Gods what a voice, Smokey, deep the kind of voice that rolled over you like warm silken sheets. In some small part of my mind I compared it to Jean-Claude's voice which can cause you to orgasm at will and strangely enough this absolutely beautiful stranger<6> made that voice pale in comparison.

'Yeah, what do you want?'

'Umm…hi…my name is Duo, Duo Maxwell. This is going to sound really strange but I'm your brother.'

I was shocked.

End of part one.

Notes:

<1> R.P.I.T -- Regional Preternatural Investigative Team.

<2> This is the relationship that Anita shares with J-C and R. They all share their power and as a result they are very , very powerful and the power keeps growing.

<3> Marianne is the lady whom is trying to help Anita keep herself in one piece in the triumvirate.

<4> Anita's gun, her favourite I believe.

<5> Yes I know the Duo's hair is the cause of much speculation. For the purpose of this fic lets assume its in his usual braid unless I state otherwise.

<6> Ha ha.. I just had to use this, don't you just love this song by Madonna?

Part two

Shock….that's what ran through me, just before the world swam before my eyes. I must have swayed because he suddenly caught me and carried me over to the couch in the living room.

'Anita?' came the worried question', are you alright?'

I couldn't say anything, a barrage of questions ran through my mind, I felt faint.

He shook me lightly and when I didn't respond, he muttered to himself.

'Damn I knew this was a bad idea.'

What?, I wanted to scream so I did the next best thing, I asked a question.

'What the hell are you talking about?'

He glanced up startled', what?'

'I asked you what the hell were you talking about?'

'Well this is going to sound very weird, but I'm your twin,'

I gritted my teeth.

…we were separated at birth <1> mother thought it best that you didn't know about me.'

What? Okay now I was confused, why would my mother do that? So of course I asked.

' Well she knew that something was strange about the circumstances of our birth, I mean she could tell that we were very different from normal newborns so she thought it best that we were separated, and I was taken to the home of a distant aunt.' He continued…' I'm not angry or anything I just wanted to meet you to see if it was true.'

My intelligent response?….."Huh?'

"Look, I know that this a really bad time but I had to see you, I heard about all the things that have been happening to you and I was ashamed that I couldn't help you,but…… he paused ……now I can, Anita I can help you with the marks.'

That stopped me how could he know about that? My first impulse pushed me to kill him and dispose of the body but part of me was still reeling from the fact that I had a brother, a twin, someone to help with the marks. Perhaps someone to talk to and someone who could understand. That did me in, later I would blame it on stress but right now I just wanted to be held. The first tear ran down my face followed by two more in quick succession.

'Oh shit, I didn't mean to make you cry, God I am an idiot, please don't cry, Shit, Shit, Shit I'm really sorry.' He knew he was babbling but he didn't know what else to do. He still didn't know what had compelled him to seek her out after all this time,..Twenty-six years <2> what a really long time to be separated from a sibling and suffice it to say he was dumbfounded as to what to do next, so he did the only thing that he could, he just held her.

Which could not have looked more compromising as Richard came in the still open door.

'What the?…. and then instinct took over and he rushed towards the two on the couch. Of course Duo, seeing an enraged werewolf running towards him hellbent on ripping him limb from limb did the only thing he could…………….. he held his ground.

At Richard's roar, Anita's head snapped up and acting on pure instinct she rolled the two of them out of harm's way. Richard had no time to react and ran straight into the couch and flipped over the back and just lay there in stunned surprise. Of course Jean-Claude chose that moment to walk into the room from his daytime lair. Taking in the scene before him he raised an eyebrow as he looked around in surprise. An eeriely beautiful young man holding onto Anita as she wiped away tears. Wait? Tears? Anita never cries, Richard was crumpled in a heap behind the couch and the beautiful young man was hugging Anita, What? Hugging??

'are you allright' asked Duo

'yeah' said Anita', you?'

'yeah'

"Will someone please enlighten me as to what is going on? Why is Richard on the ground and who are you?" asked Jean-Claude.

' well….' began the twins, who then stopped and looked at each other taking in the similarities between them. Same height, same stance and the reassuring tone they adopted when handling a situation. "I, He…." They said again and then they stopped and simply could not help it, they collapsed into giggles. Jean-Claude and Richard, who had now gotten up off the floor could only look on in stunned stupefaction. They both shared the same thought…

********* Anita doesn't giggle.*********

Notes:

<1> This is a terrible thing and by no means am I trivializing it okay

<2> I really don't know anita's age and 26 seems like as good as an age as any
