Disclaimers: Nothing but Desha. Random spoilers even though the events aren’t exactly the same. I’m guessing that this is 1x2 2x1. But it’s not yaoi. C&C deeply appreciated.
//this// indicates weird voices and thoughts. You'll figure it out.
"Desha..." Duo murmured. Black flames shot out and surrounded them. The flame swirled around Desha. In a split second, Desha had changed to her true self.
//Are you sure about this?//
"Yes..." //This is the only way for me to survive//
//Everyone you love will be destroyed//
"I know... but it's the only way."
//You are going to have to pretend to be a man for your own safety//
"I can take it. Please... go on."
//Very well//
The sky darkened and lightening struck. Thunders roared and the ground shook.
Desha opened her eyes. //Creatures of the Universe, I, Hades, shall witness// Desha picked up the golden goblet and handed it to Duo. //Drink this. This is your soon to be master's blood// Duo stared at the black liquid. She shut her eyes and gulped down the drink. Duo dropped the goblet and fell on the floor. Her body was on fire - she has never felt this much pain. Desha stared at her writhing body.
//Duo Maxwell - your soul, now, belongs to Shinigami//
Duo ran down the street with Solo.
"Hurry up, kid, or no lunch!" Solo shouted as he jumped over couple of garbage cans. Duo bit her lips and ran faster – until she bumped into a lady. Duo fell backward.
"Ouch…" Duo groaned.
"Are you okay, Duo?" the stranger asked as she offered her hand. Duo stared.
"What did you call me?" the stranger smiled.
"Ah, you don’t have a name yet. Aren’t a cute little girl?" Duo flushed and slapped Desha’s hand away.
"I’m not a girl – I’m a boy!" Duo ran off. Desha smirked.
//Duo cannot remember the contract… but she does remember that she has to pretend to be a boy… what should I do, Shinigami?//
//Let her be, Hades. She’ll find out soon enough//
Duo sat holding Solo in her arm.
"You can’t die – I got the cure!" Duo cried out. "You were the first one ever to tell me that you care about me – a weakling like me! Why did you have to go?"
"Because you fell in love with him," a voice answered. Duo turned around and narrowed her eyes.
"You! What the hell do you want from me!"
"I am truly honored that you remember me," Desha bowed. "As I was saying, you fell in love."
"What the hell does that matter!?" Duo shouted in anger.
"Don’t you remember your contract? Do you even know why you pretend to be a boy?" Desha asked coldly. Duo stared at Desha. Desha smiled. "Then let me show you," Desha said as she stretched her arm toward Duo. Duo flinched but stood still. Desha’s finger touched Duo’s forehead. Suddenly, there was a huge explosion of lights and all these images started to flash by Duo’s eyes.
"Holy shit! You’re Hades!" Duo sputtered.
"You remembered," Desha chuckled.
//You are Duo Maxwell – not because Solo’s with you – but because the great Shinigami owns you//
"Shut up! Shut the fuck up!" Duo covered his ears and fell to the ground. Desha floated on top of Duo and stared down at her.
"What? Knowing the truth hurts? But I’m glad that you finally remembered. Shinigami was worried about you," Desha smirked. Duo looked away. This couldn’t be happening to her!
"No…" Duo whispered. Desha grabbed ran her hand down Duo’s hair and smirked at Duo’s tear streaked face.
//Everything you love will be destroyed. Remember that//
Duo stared at the burnt down church. //Father, sister, everyone…//
"Hades," Duo whispered. Desha appeared out of the thin air.
"My, my, you don’t call me Desha anymore?"
"Shut up, Hades. I’m not in the mood!" Duo snapped. Desha started to giggle.
"Duo, you had made a contract with Shinigami – I was the witness. You knew what would happen. And you still chose to have that body of yours – to be better than any other mortal!" Desha wasn’t giggling. Duo remained silent. Desha grabbed her face. "If you pretended to be a man, Shinigami thought it would have been harder for people to fall for you. After all, you are not going to fall for a woman and man aren’t going to follow you around unless they aren’t straight," Desha paused.
//You are the one that sold your soul to Shinigami. Do not resent anyone but yourself.//
Duo hid herself in the storage.
"Hey, you! What are you doing here!"
//Wherever I go, Death follows//
"Hey, Professor, here’s a stowaway!"
//Everything I love will be destroyed//
"Hey, kid, what’s your name?"
//My soul belongs to Shinigami – I am one with Shinigami//
Duo looked up at the scientist and smiled.
"I am Shinigami."
