Untitled Gundam Wing Story Prologue

---

Another story that's been on my mind for actually several weeks. Probably won't post this the day I write about it. So the day I'm writing this is April 2, 2010. As many people know…I'm a big angst writer…but I make pseudo-happy endings. I believe this will be a happy ending. It probably depends on my end mood. So enough random banter on to the story.

Noin x Zechs

Oh and ahhh…you can use your imagination on when this takes place. I'm a little lazy/unsure when to make it.

"Zechs," Noin muttered lovingly. She was lying on the floor a hand was tightly clenched on an area of her stomach. It was obvious that she was in pain, immense pain. Troubled by her weakened state Zechs hurried to her. He crouched next to her placing a hand in her open one. A feeling of shock went through him when he felt something wet inside her hand. He removed his hand to reveal the wet sensation was blood.

"What happened?" he asked reaching for her clenched hand.

She chuckled weakly, "You don't need to look at that." With gentle prodding he was able to make her reveal her injury. She had been shot.

"You're bleeding," he muttered in disbelief. She was too organized and precise to have been shot like this.

"You're a little late," she muttered. Hold on a little longer Noin…Zechs thought removing her hand completely.

"Did the bullet leave your body?" Zechs asked opening her shirt. She moved to stop him but he only took hold of her hands.

"N-No. Zechs please…just don't do this," Noin whispered to him.

"It's been three years Noin. Three years of hell," Zechs answered.

"What ever you do…I trust you, Zechs," Noin whispered before beginning to cough. Blood trickled out of the corners of her mouth as she began to groan. Zechs knew that he wasn't a surgeon but he had to do anything. He probably wasn't really thinking about what he was doing. He pulled out a pocket knife intensely watching Noin's eyes. She looked so weak, so helpless, it was something he never wanted to see.

"We need to get that bullet out," Zechs said disillusioned that removing the bullet would stop the bleeding. What will that do? I really hope you know what you're doing Noin thought over. She already said she trusts him and she was too weak to push him away. All she really wanted was to get out of this horrible place.

"What's the knife for?" she asked watching him stare at his reflection in it. He didn't answer as he placed a hand at the wound. She made a noise of pain as he placed his hand into the wound. She tried not to scream as he tried to remove the bullet. He place his spare hand at her mouth. She refused to bite it fearing that she would hurt him.

"I don't want you to scream out. Bite it," Zechs ordered.

"No," Noin replied trying to push it away.

"Noin bite it. I don't want you to scream," Zechs ordered again. She sighed softly knowing that she wouldn't be able to resist for long. Reluctantly she allowed him to place his hand in her mouth. He tried to remove the bullet again this time getting a muffled scream. Her body arched with pain as he failed to secure the bullet once again. She moved his hand out of her mouth to mutter something.

"Zechs…If you do that one more time…I-I'll probably fall unconscious," Noin informed.

"You're not going to die," Zechs replied. He dug into the wound again receiving another muffled cry. She eventually fell limp due to the immense pain she felt. This time he was able to pull out the problem.

"Noin, are you alright?" he asked placing a hand on her face. He checked her breathing and her heart relieved to see that she was still alive. He removed his jacket ripping it into strips. He had nothing to close the wound with so he just covered it. There was nothing else he could do for her now. He sat her up slowly wrapping his arms under her arms and legs. Hold on Lu, Zechs thought holding her tightly. He stood up slowly planning an escape. He knew that if they didn't leave now there was a high chance that she wouldn't survive. Noin's face became increasingly pale with all the blood she was losing. He left the room quickly seeing that smoke had filled the hall. Damn that man. He doesn't want her to survive Zechs thought angrily. He went down the hallway trying to find a way out. The stairways was already engulfed in flames. Many people were already trying to escape with little success.

The house moaned with agony as it burned. It was becoming harder and harder to breathe and all the other people were panicking. Zechs held on to Noin tightly seeing that the only possible way to get out was to jump from a window. He broke the window with his hand before standing on the ledge. It wasn't a far drop but he could break a couple of bones. Just as he was about to jump Noin began to move. Her eyes fluttered open and she groaned weakly.

"Shhh, Lu," Zechs whispered lovingly. She was too feeble to give any verbal answers. The fire became hot and explosive as Zechs spotted a pool to jump into. He held on to her tightly before jumping into the pool. Noin sighed with relief to see that hell house up in flames. If she was going to die then she was glad to escape such a horrible place. The rest of their escape was a great blur she could only remember saying his name once or twice.

"Let's face the facts. If you just had brought her here after finding her she would have a higher chance of survival," the doctor informed Zechs.

"What's her chances of survival now?" Zechs asked.

"Around ten to fifteen percent. Yes you removed the bullet but there was also this inside her," the doctor answered pulling out a plastic container. There was a round pellet inside which would fit the deformity on the front of the bullet.

"What is it?" Zechs asked.

"We're not very sure what it is but the slightest touch or tap to this thing it blows up like a puffer fish. The pain the poor woman must have suffered. I've never seen anything like this before," the doctor sighed.

"If…she survived surgery then what's the chance she'll survive through the night?" Zechs asked fearing the answer.

"So far the surgery has been going well but she has lost so much blood. We're trying to replenish it as we speak but anything can still happen," the doctor replied.

"She'll survive," Zechs said optimistically.

"I've already told you that her odds are slim. Your day has been long and hectic, go home and rest," the doctor replied giving him the cold hard facts. Zechs sighed softly sitting down in a chair with a soft thud. He stared into a near-by clock waiting for more news or someone else to arrive.

"How is she?" Relena asked. She had been doing some work in the near-by colony and was surprised to hear that Noin has been found after three years.

"She lost a lot blood," Zechs said grimly. She sat next to her brother catching a glimpse of his hands.

"You're hands!" she gasped. The left was covered in dried blood the other had blood stained bandages.

"Don't worry about them," Zechs reassured. His clothes were also blood stained which raised Relena's suspicions.

"Brother, what happened?" Relena asked softly.

"She was shot," Zechs replied quickly. He wasn't in the mood for her questions. He only wanted to know if Noin was alright.

"You look tired. Go home and rest. Ms. Noin will be alright," Relena said placing a hand on his shoulder.

"If I was in that bed, Noin wouldn't move until she knew that I was alright," Zechs answered. Relena nodded her head knowing Noin's loyalty. Over the three years that Noin had been missing Zechs realized how much he need her in his life.

"Does anyone else know that she's here?" Relena asked only to see that her brother had fallen asleep. Who knows what they went through…as long as Ms. Noin comes out alive Relena thought with a sigh. I never want to see my brother in that state ever again. An hour later the doctor re-emerged.

"Are you also a close associate with Ms. Noin?" the doctor asked.

"Yes," Relena replied.

"Well, I'll lay out the facts. She survived the surgery so far. Her condition is overly critical. Even if she does survive the night, there's a thirty-five percent chance that she'll never wake up. If so her family needs to decide if they want to keep her on life support," the doctor said pessimistically.

"I don't appreciate your pessimism. Ms. Noin is a very strong woman. Maybe she's too weak to defend herself at the moment but she will wake up," Relena protested.

"Ms. Relena," Zechs muttered in disapproval. Relena shot a quick glare at her brother before looking up at the doctor.

"Like I said before, if she stays on life support then her family will decide to cut it off or not," the doctor snapped.

"He's her fiancé! Of course she'll stay on life support!" Relena blurted out. She knew that Zechs had been planning to propose to her years before. She knew that he has the same feelings about her now that he had years prior.

"Relena," Zechs said louder. This time she knew that she had gone too far. Relena quieted down as the doctor excused himself from their presence.
