life itself

More than Life Itself

Disclaimer - Gundam Wing is NOT mine. If you sue, you'll get NOTHING.

Authors note - Endless Waltz never happened. Mariemeia …was killed… um… riding her little bike in a park. Be warned - angst ahead.

Relena Peacecraft stood on a cliff, her long dirty-blond hair streaming out behind her in the sharp wind; it's cold needles striking her face, causing tears to form in her baby blue eyes. Or were the tears genuine? Were they really formed by the wind, or was just standing here causing her to cry, not for the first - or last - time.

"Heeeeeeerrrrrroooo!" Her desperate call somehow firmly fixating the reality in her head. Heero Yuy is dead. Relena's one true love, the one that she loved more than life itself is dead. "Heero…" Her voice choked, the muscles tightening. "Please…" Her voice took on its normal tone, soft but commanding, betraying any true emotion. "Come back and kill me…"

A week later

Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, Quatre Winner, and Chang Wufei stood in that same spot, on the edge of the cliff. The setting sun glowed like the Phoenix itself, reforming out of it's own ashes, and then it disappeared into the sea. The darkening sky seemed to halt for a moment, and for just a second the doorway to eternity was opened, then it closed, sealing the doors behind it. Quatre started crying. His sudden tears seemed to trigger the wind, and the coldness echoed the ache in the pilot's hearts. In the grass before them were two gravestones, both etched out of black marble. The rapidly darkening sky showed no mercy, playing on the situation by showing bright stars, the likes of which the two deceased would never see again. Trowa knelt before the two stones, and out of his one visible eye a crystal tear shone. Then he left, never saying a word. Wufei had started crying too, and he whispered a single word that the breeze stole and carried to the heavens. He too walked away. Duo was still in shock. He just managed to look at one of the stones and showed a lopsided grin. Then the Shinagami walked away into the darkness. Quatre was left alone, crying freely now. He wiped his eyes, squinting as the read the two graves in the near darkness.

Heero Yuy - 180-196 Relena Peacecraft - 180-196

Space itself owes him a debt The one she loved more than life itself

Quatre stood on the hill and watched the rest of the stars come out, and smiled.

"Goodbye, my friends. We all shall see you, soon. Wait for us." Then he too left, leaving behind him the spell of a summer night.

Epilogue - Heero was killed in the final mobile suit battle between him and Zechs, but he still saved the world. The word Wufei said was 'injustice'. If I get enough reviews I might make a sequel. Please review! I'd really appreciate it!
