The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter

Music by: Reba McEntire

Fic by: Sio-san



Relena walked into a bar and looked around, silent tears were running down her cheaks, she was tired of being alone. "Here we go," she whispered to herself for encouragement and then she sat at the bar listening to the song blaring from the band.


She came in lookin' good and lookin' around
She's checking out evryman in the room right now
Don't go tellin' her about right or wrong
She's been alone way to long...

The heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lastin' comfort
In the arms of a lovers fire

Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon light
The heart is a lonely hunter
When no sign of love's in sight


Relena listens carefully finding the irony at the fact that the song reflects her troubles. Looking around she
see's another man coming toward him and she wait for a line while continuing with her drink.


She hear's him say "Hey can I buy you a drink?"
And sees the pale white circle where he wears his ring
She knows he's dealin' her a dangerous hand
The consequences of a one night stand but...

The heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lasting comfort
In the arms of a lovers fire

Driven by a desperate hunger
To The dark of a neon light
The heart is a lonely hunter
When no sign of love's in sight


Relena looks up at the man. "No thanks."

The man got a drunken angry look on his face and grabbed her by the arm "You'll dance with me 'cause
I said so"

She pulled back and tried to resist but he kept pulling when suddenly he stopped. She looked to see him
being thrown over a chair by Heero, then only one who couls really hurt her but never seemed to care.
Relena ran outside into the rainy night and collapsed from tears a few feet from the entrance. The rain
pouring as harshly as her tears.


From somewhere deap inside she tells him no
Before she starts to cry she turns to go

The heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some latin' comfort
In the arms of a lovers fire


Relena suddenly feels comforting arms around her and she turns to see the face of the one who's comforting
her so dearly. "Heero?"

"I'm here Relena, it's okay no one will ever hurt you again...I'm so sorry," He choked out the last part as
his arms tightened around her and he lifted her in his embrace.


Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of a neon light
The heart is a lonely hunter
When no sign of love's in sight


Heero continued walking till he reached his apartement and then he carried her up stairs. Sitting with her
gently on the couch he dries her tears with his soft lips and tasted the salt of her misery.

"I'm so sorry Relena," he whispered as he captured her lips in a heartfelt kiss. "Ai shiteru, Relena know
that in your heart if not anywhere else."

Relena looked up in his face, seeing her own misery and lonliness reflected in his eyes, "Ai shiteru Heero.
I already knew."

They both kiss again and the longing they felt melts away to a new passion that burns them both.


The heart is a lonely hunter
When no sign of love's in sight
