When Braided Fairies Strike

Part 12


I pulled at the restraining leather straps. I wanted to make sure I wouldn't be able to break free if this didn't work. Trowa couldn't be placed at risk. The straps were strong, thankfully strong enough to hold me. Trowa was standing over me, watching as I tried to free myself.

"Well?"

"They should do." I tugged at them again for good measures. "But, right now, my body is weak from exhaustion. After a good rest, it's possible I could break through them." I looked up into his green eyes. He was worried. It was nine in the morning. In four hours, we'll all find out if this would work.

"You're right. They won't hold me when I come to." The voice chuckled and I ignored him. "Ignore me all you want Heero. . .in four hours, you'll be the one ignored." Wu Fei stepped into the room and studied me closely.

"You sure you don't want to wait on this Yuy? I'm sure that with a few more tests. . ."

"It might be too late by then. It has to be done now." I glanced at Trowa, then back at Wu Fei. "Do me a favor. . .keep me strapped like this a couple of days. . .and place Trowa somewhere safe where no one will know where he's at."

"I know what you're planning Heero. It won't work. I'll find him, no matter where he's put."

"I don't understand." Wu Fei said softly, and I could feel the same question was going through Trowa's mind.

"This chip has access to my mind. There's no telling what it could be capable of."

"Finally, some well deserved credit."

"Then how will we know that it's you?" Wu Fei wondered and I returned my attention to Trowa.

"I'll admit that it will be tough. He knows everything about me. . .everything I've been through. . .but Trowa will be able to answer that."

"You're putting too much faith into him Heero. That's going to be your downfall." Trowa knows me better than anyone. "Why because he fucked you? I think I know you better than anyone." Trowa knows me. . .he knows how I think. . .my touch and my kiss. You might be able to duplicate everything else about me, but you won't be able to make him feel the way I do. Besides, the biggest disadvantage for the voice was his impatience.

*********

Something wasn't right. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't. Though I'm not sure how, I had a strong sense of where I was and what was going on in the room. I could feel that Trowa was close by, but I couldn't pin point him. I was restrained to something, but it wasn't the exam table. What happened? I felt as if I was floating in space. . .as if I was outside my body. . .but I wasn't.

~Welcome to my world.~ The voice laughed evilly. ~Guess what Heero. . . .I won. I'm in full control and you are left on the side lines.~

"What?"

~That's right. Now YOU are the voice, and I'm the real person.~

"No." That can't be right. This wasn't possible. I tried waking up, but I couldn't.

~I told you. . .I'm in control now. All I have to do is convince that whore that I'm you, and I get him all to myself. Just take a wild guess who that is bouncing on MY dick.~

At the question, I suddenly felt the pleasure of sex. It took me a moment to fully understand what was going on. When I did, I felt like crying. Though I didn't want to believe it, I knew it to be true. It was Trowa. He was having sex with the chip that had taken over my body. Why didn't he realize it wasn't me?

~I told you that you were putting too much faith into this whore. Now he will pay for your ignorance. I just thought you would enjoy sitting back while I fuck him and kill him. . .or better yet, maybe I'll just make him my love slave. How would you like to spend the rest of MY natural life raping him?~

I had to find a way to stop him. I couldn't let him do that to Trowa. . .but what could I do?

~The same thing you did to prevent this. . .nothing.~ With that, he laughed again. What went wrong? I was for sure that Trowa would have been able to tell us apart. . .I guess the chip was a lot more advanced than any of us considered. Now Trowa was going to pay for it. Suddenly, I realized that my wrist were cuffed to a bed post. Why was that? Wouldn't the chip have just did everything that he claimed he would do by now? Unless he was trying to earn Trowa's trust by acting like me. Once Trowa becomes comfortable around him, he'll show his true colors.

~Bingo. You're a real genius. You just now realized what I was planning. Damn you're so slow. You deserve to be stuck in that void.~

The plan had been floating in my subconscious all this time. I just didn't know about it. . .that's why I didn't anticipate this. Suddenly I remembered everything that I couldn't before. Trowa's visit, Angel, discovering Duo and Quatre's plan, and my dream about the fairies on flying lions. Everything made sense now. The fairies weren't just representing Duo, but Quatre too. The reason that Trowa was tied, gagged, and blindfolded was because he didn't know what was going on while I was in the asylum. It also explained why the amusement park was built. . .it was a distraction. . .the wedding. The flying lions was the chip that was implanted. Which was why they turned to demons in my second dream.

I remembered other things. . .things that I had pushed away for so long that I have forgotten about. Like my mother and father. All the emotions and pains that I felt during my training. Everything was disturbed as I felt the cuffs being removed. While I was lost in my memories, stillness had reigned and I knew Trowa was sleeping next to my body. I also understood what the chip wanted. He was tired of playing the good guy and began kissing Trowa's body.

I should have begged for Trowa to kill me before the surgery. I had to stop him. There had to be a way. After all, he did say that I was where he was the whole time. When he was here, he had a way of stopping me. Maybe, if I could make him black out, then Trowa will realize that something is indeed wrong. . .but how did he do it? I could feel my lips tracing the smooth flesh. That damn chip was trying to distract me.
~Give it up Heero. You're not a chip. You're just stuck in the furthest reach of your own mind. You can't cause me headaches. You're not melting into my brain cells.~ Trowa was now returning the kisses and massaging the back of my neck. ~Stand back and watch how a real man fucks.~ He began kissing Trowa harder.

"NO! I WON'T LET YOU DO THIS TO HIM!" As I screamed, he flinched.

~Shut the hell up. I told you, you're no longer in control.~

"Oh, but you couldn't be more wrong. I'm in full control now. I hurt you. I know I did, because I felt it too. I understand now. I figured out why you wouldn't shut the hell up when you were here. Why you kept singing, talking bull shit, and saying what you did. It's because every time this part of my brain speaks directly to me, it hurts. It's the part that isn't being used. Normally, it was ignored, but when you were placed it became occupied. My body's not use to this." With every word, I could feel that the migraines were growing. "You should know that I don't give up easily. Floating in my subconscious, you should have known what was going to happen. As long as I'm here, I refuse to let you hurt him."

"Heero?" Trowa's voice stopped me. He was concerned. I could feel his eyes looking at me the way they had when I told him the truth.

~So what if you figured it out? The truth is, you're still too late. I know you don't have enough time to make me black out before I kill this bastard.~ With that, he pinned Trowa's wrist to the bed with one hand, while the other worked to pull the cuffs from the post. ~I will still have him, no matter how much you scream and yell at me.~

Before I could say anything, Trowa had kneed me in the groin. Though I didn't feel the actual blow, I knew that he was using his full strength. This was followed by a left hook and a harsh shove that sent my body to the floor. As usual, it quickly recovered, and prepared to strike again. . .but, like always, Trowa was prepared. I knew that my colbat eyes were staring at the barrel of a gun. I knew his eyes were filled with tears.

"Trowa, put the gun down." The chip tried to reason. "I didn't mean to be so rough."

"Shut the hell up. I know you're not Heero. I knew the whole time."

"I told you dumbass. He's a lot smarter than you give him credit for." I knew the chip was trying to ignore me, by trying to talk aloud.

"Trowa. . ." I heard the gun cock, and the chip became aggressive. "Do you have the balls to shoot me? Heero's still alive and in here with me. If you kill me, you lose the chance to get him back."

"He's not going to listen to you. He's a trained killer. He won't hesitate to pull that trigger. You've lost. You might as well face it. . . .he would never break a promise to me."

"I know that. That's why I've been playing these damn mind games with you for the past week."

"All this time, he knew that you wanted him. He knew what you were planning and tried to buy me time. He thought I could regain control. . .why couldn't I? After all, you did."

~You're not a chip. Besides, I won't give you the chance. If I can't have him, I'll be damned if you do.~ With that, he charged Trowa. To say the least, Trowa kept his promise. The bullet tore into my brain. My body limped and fell to the bed that it was trying to leap over to get to him. I didn't feel any pain, but I felt Trowa cradling me in his arms.

"I love you Heero. . . .I'm so sorry." I could feel his tears. . .and the pain in his heart. I wanted to tell him that it was going to be okay. I wanted to tell him that I love him. . .but I couldn't. I was just a trapped flying lion. . . .and the victim of braided fairies.

THE END???
