Goodbye LJ...
Feb. 20th, 2006 06:50 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
This is just to make it official for those who don't know, but I'm leaving LJ completely. For the rest of this week at least. Tomorrow is the Bar Exam and it runs for three days, so don't expect to see me about at all until Thursday night. Or even until the weekend since I plan on spending Thursday after the Bar drunk and crying. No online time for me at all. *whines* It will be hard, but I know I can do it.
So, because I'm a total h0r like that, I am declaring this to be a spam post. Go ahead. Run wild! Give me fics, give me links, give me pics, just babble to your heart's content and rape my inbox so I have something to see when I finally DO come back to the wonderful world of LJ. I don't even care if you write me a drabble and post it one word at a time. XD;
Though, I've tried to make a spam post before and it failed a bit miserably, so I don't have very high expectations this time around. Feel free to prove me wrong though!

Re: THE DRAGON AS AN OBJECT OF PREY

Wufei turned his gaze from the flickering coals, over to where the bounty hunter slept. It would be so easy, he suddenly realized, to overpower Duo now.
The thought hit him so blindingly, that for a moment it blocked out all else. Shakily, taking care to be silent, he rose to his feet and stared down at Duo. He was carelessly sleeping, off his guard. All it would take would be one quick strike in the darkness, and then he would be free again. They were still far enough away from Romafeller, he could make it to the border, out of Oz and out of the reach of Treize’s vengeful cousin. He could evade the bounty hunters. Duo had found him, that was true, but then even Wufei had heard stories about the fearful prowess of the bounty hunger Shinigami. If he could take Duo, why, he could take any of them. The realization dizzied him.
Except for the one problem -- he had given his word that he would not try to escape.
What does that matter? argued a voice in his head. No doubt he has dragged dozens of men to their deaths, for money. Honor means nothing to a mercenary like him; he would break his word in an instant, so why should you hold to yours?
Duo slumbered on, his breathing slow and shallow. One hand curled delicately under his head, pillowing his cheek against the rough blanket. Firelight flickered off his smooth skin, lending him an almost ethereal tint. His lips were slightly parted, and his audible breaths dropped from his lips one by one.
There is no dishonor in betraying the dishonorable...
He looked so innocent, in his sleep; features relaxed from their studied carelessness into true peace. Surely he could be no older than Wufei himself.
One quick strike, and then freedom.
Wufei drew in a deep breath, and shut his eyes. It was a temptation that was almost painful. But he could not do it. Not if he wanted to have any part of himself left. Justice must be for everyone, even the lawbreakers, or else it is not justice. Honor is no different. It must be the same for everyone, or else it is not honor...
