Um... leme think here...uh yah I don't own an anime as of now (Damn society) So anyway I hope you like this sappy romance seeing as you don't tend to enjoy my humor fics.
" There. I guess I'm ready." The room looked very bare, having been stripped of all the personal items and clothes that had littered the floor only hours ago. Seeing the room so bare made the now former occupant feel lonely but none the less it was time to leave. Relena pressed down on the clothes that were jammed in her suitcase one last time and began to close it when suddenly she remembered something. She turned around quickly and found her teddy bear sitting just where she had left it in the floor with the note lying next to it.
Relena leaned down and picked up the note. She had read it over a hundred times and the message was pretty easy to remember but none the less she unfolded it and again read the words "Happy Birthday". She had received teddy bears before and a great deal more birthday cards but this one was different than those because they came from him. The inscription was very short and had probably been written in a hurry but none the less he had written it and that was all that mattered. Why was he so mysterious? Though, Relena had to admit that was what had drawn her to him it still hurt that he never trusted her. Fate had chosen two very different roles for them, the pacifist and the soldier. No matter what her feelings were she already knew that Heero would definitely not give up what he was for some lovesick girl.
" Oh Heero." whispered Relena as she picked up the teddy bear and held it to her. A single tear ran down her cheek and dampened a patch of soft fur on the bear's ear. What was she doing? After all she was Relena Peacecraft it was unseemly for her to go on about a boy in this way. Besides, she had already cried enough times to flood the world you'd think she'd be dried up by now. With a sigh she refolded the letter and put it along with the teddy bear in her suitcase and then walked out the door.
This wasn't out of the ordinary for her. With a job like hers you couldn't help but move all the time. She wasn't leaving anything important, just another hotel room like all the others, but sleeping in that bed all alone just made her feel more isolated. Whether or not she had a big job with responsibilities she was still a teenager and still felt a need for companionship. Everyone was so formal. How she wished she were still just a school girl who's biggest concern was a crush or what to wear for some party. Back then she had been able to trust more people, there hadn't always been the worry that they only liked her for her position. Now what did she have, Dorothy? While the girl had comforted her somewhat they were both from such different backgrounds that it was impossible to cultivate a true friendship. What did she care though? She had her work that was all that mattered, nothing more. She could get along without parents, without her brother (if Zechs could really be called one) without friends, even...without Heero.
"Driver, take me to the New York airport." said Relena sitting down in the back of her limo. Right now, she had to fly to England for a conferance on a plague that had been killing their dogs.
'First livestock, now this.' Relena thought to herself. Couldn't these people keep there animals alive?!!
Relena noticed that they were now on a small road, with a field of flowers on one side. It was very beautiful but still very wrong she needed to get on the freeway to get to the airport. Why couldn't people ever send her a competent driver?
" Driver, I said the New York airport and this clearly not the way." said Relena trying to cover up the annoyance in her voice.
" I'm so sorry." said the driver.
" It's all right." said Relena, though it really wasn't. " If we're lucky I won't be too late." this too was a lie but Relena didn't want to worry the driver. She turned her gaze to the papers lying in her lap.
"No, I mean I'm sorry that you won't be there at all." the tone was so dead, Relena almost thought it was Heero driving.
" What do you mean?" she asked, feeling a bit puzzled.
" Must I draw a picture for you? You're not getting to the airport because I'm kidnapping you now if you like go on reading those papers of yours because we have a long drive ahead of us." Relena could not believe how little emotion had been put into these last few words as if kidnapping her were something completely normal.
" Please Sir, don't do this. I don't know what the problem is but surely we can work it out, can't we?"
" Well for one thing, I'm only following orders. For another, I don't work things out I eliminate the problem just like I'd eliminate you, you filthy whore."
" How dare you-"
" How dare I what? Insult you, the queen of the world and protector of peace? While you dine on wine and cheese during your stupid alliance meetings our people are starving out in the cold."
" What's to happen to me?"
" Well seeing as you've made a crappy leader so far I think one of my cronies will probably do me the pleasure of destroying you."
When Relena heard this she went into a frenzy. How was she going to get out of this? There was only one answer, she couldn't get out unless someone like Heero saved her. What were the chances though? He couldn't possibly keep tabs on her all the time. This was awful and right around Christmas too. She already didn't have family and now she would miss out on seeing anyone's face again. She had to do something quickly that was all she new.
Her suitcase was right next to her and the driver, whoever he was had left the tinted glass separating the front and back seat up. Quickly, Relena rummaged through her suitcase until she found a painted rock an orphan girl had given her to use as a paper weight during one of Relena's visits to the colonies. The rock wasn't too heavy but maybe with enough force it would help her after all. Relena drew back her arm getting ready to throw when all of a sudden there was a loud bang and she dropped the stone the same moment the bullet hit it. The next moment the glass was down and there was a hand on her wrist. Relena hadn't known there was a second person in the front seat but whoever he was, he was in his was around her age with reddish hair and blue eyes that reminded her of a face she had once known but could not completely remember.
" Now look what you made me do." said the younger one, " I must say having to vandalize a car to keep you safe is not quite what I had in mind."
" How can you call kidnapping me, threatening me and nearly blowing my hand off keeping me safe?!!"
" Do you honestly think we're the only people who should wish to kidnap you?"
" You shouldn't have kidnapped me in the first place."
" Well that's for you decide."
" Damn you! Damn you both to hell!!"
" Bloody bitch is getting to loud to bear!" yelled the driver and with that they had pulled over and the man was getting out of the driver's seat.
" What are you doing?" asked the boy and Relena at almost the same moment.
" Getting some peace and quiet, that's what!" roared the driver as he yanked Relena's door open. The next moment he had her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and was walking to the rear end of the limo.
" No please you can't," screamed Relena once she knew her fate.
" Please, you can't really mean to do this to her." said the boy anxiously.
" I..I won't let you!" the boy looked twice as nervous once he had said this.
" Need I remind you that you are a mere lachey and while with me you shall not question my actions ever! Do I make myself clear?" The boy looked ready to say something but bit his tongue and bowed his head.
Knowing that she had lost her last hope of escaping this cruel man, Relena began kicking and squirming, trying to find some way to free herself. With one hand on her ass and the other grabbing his keys the man unlocked the trunk and let her drop in.
" No! No please you can't do this I'm sorry I'll be quiet!!" Relena cried as the tears started gushing down her face and for once she sounded like the 16 year old she truly was.
" Sorry but it's a bit too late for that now isn't it?" the man said maliciously as he began tying the rope tightly around her arms and ankles.
" Why do you have to go and tie her?" the man gave the boy a cold look " well I mean don't you think it's slightly unnecessary? "
" Another word out a you and I swear you'll be on top of her in that trunk and what a lovely picture that would make. I'll remind you once more, I'm the leader you follow. Now shut up and wait in the car!"
"Yes sir." said the soldier sadly and cast Relena a pitying look before turning and doing as he was told.
" As for you, well you'll soon find out what we got planned for you." said the man sadistically as he slapped some tape on her mouth and then slammed the trunk leaving her in complete darkness.
Relena cried for a long time as she was bumped and jolted in this small dark chamber they had alotted her. Where was Heero she kept asking herself . Why hadn't he saved her yet? She had thought the soldier just might save her but pity was a very trivial thing when it came from the enemy. Eventually Relena lost track of the time and drifted off to sleep on and off. Every once in a while she would wake and feel that monotonous rumbling that now seemed to be her existence. She wondered each time if they had stopped while she was asleep at all but couldn't be sure. All she knew was this rumbling, the numbing pain of rope digging into her and the elasticness of the tape that kept her mouth shut.
Finally she woke up and felt that something was different but at first could not place it. The next moment the trunk was open and she was squinting in the light.
" There she is boys." came that familiar voice she had come to hate so quickly. Then there were arms lifting her up and out of the trunk and Relena saw that she was in what looked like a wherehouse before they had placed a blindfold over her eyes. Then all she knew was the feel of herself being set down rather ungently on hard paved ground. The impact of being all but thrown caused her to roll slightly and in that brief moment she felt warm flesh against her own. Apparently she was the only person they had captured.
" Please," came a husky voice, " Let her go, please." Relena heard the sound of a boot kicking flesh and felt badly for her companion. There was something familiar about that voice but she could hardly tell who it was. Was it one of the gundam pilots? Could it possibly be...Heero?
Well that's the end for the first part but more is definately on the way.
