Heero sat immersed in the darkness of a large, richly decorated bedroom. The air was chilled, a sign of the danger at hand. He watched the shadows for threats to his beloved's safety. He murmured a promise, "I won't anything happen to you."

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

There has always been word of assassination attempts against her but none had been this serious. It seems that Relena had been discovered infiltrating a rouge faction's database. Isn't she talented? They labeled her as a threat and put a very large bounty to have her delivered into their grips. For some reason they wanted her alive. The faction found and contacted every lowlife scum they could to eradicate this threat to their.

The only solution was to destroy the source of the bounty and the people that wanted her but. .he couldn't leave her side.

He would leave this up too the others. He notified all the members of the Preventers including zechs and noin. It was their job to search for the main threat and destroy it. He only hoped that this would end soon enough. But there were also the other stragglers who don't pay attention to the news net of the underground and blindly hunted like dogs. This would last for a while.

Meanwhile, there in front of him stood a bed, where his unsuspecting angel slept peacefully. The woman he still hadn't allowed himself to hold, Relena.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

Bang! Relena jolted into sitting position. A muscular man in a blue jeans jacket and blue jeans pants, about 6ft tall, Brown hair, wielding a gun was at the end of her bed. This person had an opponent which was looking down a barrel of this man's.Heero's gun. Another shot. Heero had claimed the intruder's life. Heero held a large wound on his side, his hand dripping with blood. Terror struck Relena and she gasped in horror. Heero lost balance and swayed.

She jumped out of her bed with speedy agility and ran towards him. She gathered him in her arms. He slumped, putting most of his wait on her. She couldn't see his piercing royal blue eyes; half closed and clouded. His free flowing hair was damp from sweat. Her voice had trouble but she finally breathed a worried, "Heero?" Her heart was racing from the adrenaline. It was a horror to see such a large wound on her love. She placed him on floor, his head on her lap. His arms were limp. Her voice came back to her again, "Heero!". In reaction he strained to open his eyes; those beautiful eyes. In their depths she could see the pain he was enduring. She screamed with all of the voice of her soul, "Help!!!"

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

Heero could feel himself loose balance. The gravity pulled hardly on his being. He felt her grasp on him as she lowered him to the ground. He heard her voice. Pain was gripping him. He had to fight to respond to his angel's calls.

He opened his eyes.

Relena was crying. He hated it when she cried. Overcastting the pain in his side was the agony her tears caused him. Realization struck him. "Take this," with trembling, blood stained hands he nudged his 9 mm. towards her, which she grabbed quickly. She looked up for a moment and scanned the quiet room. "Run! Go!", Demanded Heero.

"I won't leave you!!" with all the renewed strength he could gather, he sat up and pushed her shoulder away.

"Go!" His eyes became hard and fierce but softened after seeing her worried expression. "Please." Pain overtook him and he fell again, into her arms.

The momentary silence of the room was broken by heavy footsteps coming closer and closer. She was filled with dread. 'It could be an enemy, not help'.

She did what her heart had been yearning to reveal to him for so long. She wanted to reveal her love for him. Her love that was not from the vice foreign minister for peace but from herself.

She held him closer, her cheek pressing against his cold face. She took his scent in for a bit then passionately breathed into his ear, " I love you."

He couldn't let this happen to her. His angel didn't deserve this life of always being hunted down like a dog by some political wacko bent on world domination. He couldn't let her go but there was nothing he could do. He raised his hand to her cheek and directed her to look into his eyes. His eyes looked like his wound wasn't causing all of his pain. He mouthed with his lips, " I love you, too."

Tears flooded her eyes and poured over her already tear-stained face. She had longed to hear those words from him. Regrettably there lives were coming to an end all too soon.

She lifted her head, led the gun to point at the door and waited.
