Chapter 1

The year is After Colony 202. It has been five years since Marimaia's futile attempt to conquer the Colonies. At the young age of 22, Relena Darlain has become the prime minister of the E.S.U.N. (Earth Sphere United Nations.) Total pacifism has brought peace to the universe until very recently. Colony 2055, which was run by minister Peterson until his mysterious death, is now run by minister Christopher Anderson, who has failed to agree with the peace mission and has convinced other colonies to do the same........

Relena is sitting in a meeting speaking to the Earth Sphere United Nations
Relena "We are still having trouble with Colony 2055. They have constantly refused to cooperate with us, and the peace mission."
Man "I still think we should go over there with some
force."
A shadowy figure moves in the back of the room
Relena "that is not what the peace mission is all about we need to go there"..... Gun shot... Relena falls back off of the stage. people scream, Everyone frantically panics looking for cover. Bodyguards run to protect Relena. The shadowy figure in the back of the room disappears.
Relena "What happened?" Relena's vision grew dark.


News woman "In a horrendous act of terrorism last night, the prime minister Relena Darlain was wounded. For security reasons her condition and where she is being treated are not being released to the public. Although the shooter was not seen, many believe that this attempt on the prime ministers life was a copycat of the late Heero Yuy's assassination 11 years ago. If they release any new information about the minister's condition or the capture of the shooter we will keep you informed."
Newsman "On a brighter note, those cute little pandas
that were born only 6 months ago are.." A hand reaches out and turns off the TV.
Trowa "Is it just me or are news anchors makeing things sound worse than they are? This is the tenth news person who has said Relena has been shot but hasn't given us any information on if Relena is alive or not, or any updates on the shooter."
Quatre "all the news people care about is if it gets good ratings. I don't think if they care if Relena
lives."
Duo "Yep. But who would have guessed that Relena would be a target for an assassination? Who would want to kill her? Do you have any idea Heero?"
Heero "......"
Wufei "Well, whoever did it shot at someone who was unarmed and that makes him weak."
Duo rolls his eyes "Not this speech again!"
Heero walked over to the table where he had left his laptop. in the corner of the room.
Quater "Heero?"
Duo "Hey Heero what are you doing?"
Heero "I'm checking something out."
Trowa walks over to Heero and looks over his shoulder
Trowa "What are you looking up hospitals for?... Oh." Trowa said answering his own question.
Heero gots up, grabbed his jacket and walked towards the door.
Duo "Where are you going?"
Trowa "He's going to see Relena."
Duo "Hey buddy, I'll go with you."
Quatre puts his hand on Duo's shoulder along with a cautious shake of his head. "Let him go alone."
Trowa moved to block Duo also. "They need a little time to themselves"
Heero glares at the room, he leaves grumbling about having no privacy, and slams the door behind him.
Wufei "Being ruled by a woman, huh, he's so weak."
Quatre "Speaking of women, how is Sally?"
Duo "Yeah, how is she? I heard she's pregnant... Is that true?"
Duo, Quatre and Trowa glanced at Wufei with knowing looks.
Wufei looked around at them with a glare. "Shut up!" he snarled and walked out of the room.


Slowly Relena opened her eyes and saw Heero sitting on the windowsill of her room. Heero, sensing that Relena has awakened, turns to find that she has. Standing up,
he walks over to her bed and puts his hand on her forehead.
Heero "You're awake."
Relena "Wh...what? Heero?!?"
Heero "How are you feeling?"
Relena "I feel okay, considering that I've been shot."
Heero, smirking "So I guess your feeling better."
Relena smiled, "It's good to see you again Heero."
Relena reached out and grabbed Heero's hand from her forehead. "It's been too long.... If I only knew that all I had to do to get you to come and see me was to get shot, I would have shot myself a long time ago." she smiled briefly then sobered up. "How did you find me? Better yet, how did you get in here?"
Heero "You'd be very suprised to hear how easy it was."
Relena "Oh....... Heero? where have you been all this time?"
Heero "What? you miss me?"
Relena "You know I did...." Relena looked down, realizing she was still holding Heero's hand, she let go. "How long have you been in here?" She asked, biting her lip.
Heero looking at his watch "I have been here for about two hours now." He stood up and stretched. " I have to go. I'll be back soon." After seeing the questioning look on her face, he added. "I have some planning to do. I'll be back later."
Relena "Heero?"
Heero leans over and kisses Relena with a soft gentle kiss on the lips
Heero "Bye, Relena." Heero quickly left the room.
Relena "wh...w...what?....Heero?!?!"
Relena was reading a book on the bed when the door
opened, at the sound Relena looked up.
Relena "Heero?"
Man in black "You got the wrong guy."
Relena "Who are you? How did you get in here?"
Helena "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?"
Man in black "Oh shut up!"
The man in black takes a bottle from the pocket of his jacket and dabs a little of it's contents on to a rag.
Another man wearing black and a hat walks throught the door
Man in the hat "Now dear brother, that's not nice at all. She has a right to know what is going to happen to her. Hello Miss Darlain, I hope we're not bothering you. I, as you must be wondering, am your kidnapper."
"My what?"
"Your kidnapper." man with the hat looks at the wound then turned to his brother. "You cut it a little to close, don't you think?"
Man in Black "Hey, I didn't kill her."
Man in the hat "Yes, lucky for us."
Relena "What in the hell is going on here!"
Man in hat "Sorry, We do not have enough time for small talk I'm afraid. But we will have plenty of time for that later."
Relena "I'm not going anywhere with you." Relena sits up and a sharp hot pain runs through her body.
Man in the hat "'Tis 'Tis miss Darlain, don't hurt yourself too much, that's my brother's job." The man in black held the rag to Relena's face. Relena gagged at the pungent fumes saturating the rag, she suddenly felt sleepy.
Man in the hat "Goodnight miss Darlain, we'll talk again when you wake-up."
Relena's world went black again.


Sometime later Heero returned to the hospital, this time with Duo at his side
Duo "So Heero, Why are we here?"
Heero "Relena's security men are becoming too sloppy, they think no one is going to be able a get to Relena in here."
Duo "So we're here to look after her, okay!" Duo stated proudly "And I'm the only one you trust for the job."
Heero "No. Quatre had other business, Trowa had to go to the circus, and Wufei just disappeared. So that left you."
Duo "Oh, I feel so wanted."
Heero walked up to the nurses counter
Heero "I'm here to see Mrs. Logan."
Nurse "And who are you?"
Heero "Her nephew."
Nurse "OK, she is in room 302, Just take the elevator to the 3rd floor, turn left and it will be on your right hand side."
Heero nodded, and started walking to the elevator, Duo quickly followed with a confused look on his face.
Duo "Mrs. Logan? Why did you ask for her?"
Heero "Mrs. Logan is the person in the room next to Relena's."
Duo "Oh!"
Heero and Duo took the elevator to the 3rd floor and passed right by a police officer, who was flirting with a nurse, and walked into Relena's room
Duo "Is this Relena's room? Where is she? She got shot right, so she can't go too far."
Heero "Damn, they already got her."
Heero quickly walked to the door.
Duo "Heero, wait, what are we going to do now? Should we tell the guards that she's gone?"
Heero "The guards will find out sooner or later. I'm going to find Relena. You can come if you want to."
Heero Angry left the room.
Duo "Oh man, I hate it when he does that. He just leaves. He never tells me where he is going he just leaves. Hey Heero, wait up."


When Relena regained consciousness again she found herself in a room that looked like it was designed in the early 1800's. She stayed down on the bed with her back against the pillows. She needed time to put together her thoughts, stareing up at the crown that held the curtains to the ceiling. With the bed curtains drawn back, Relena had no idea how she got
there. As Relena looked around she saw a man sitting on a chair beside her bed.
"Where am I?" Relena asked in confusion.
The man in the chair sat forward. "You don't remember?" The man leaned back again. "I think my brother used a little too much." He said to himself. Turning to Relena he looked her up and down "Well maybe Miss Relena you will remember the gun shot, and the hospital, hum?"
Still very confused, Relena just looked at the man, trying to remember what happen and why she was there. My Shoulder hurts. Why does my shoulder hurt? Gun shot? Who was shot? Hospital? Like pieces of a puzzle she put the memories together. When she was finished,
with eyes balling out she yelled. "YOU!"
Man sitting "You remember"
"Who are you? What do you want from me?"
"Who am I? Oh do excuse me for being so rude. My name is Christopher Anderson and you are at my house, and as for the questions of what I want from you, that is the Colonies."
"You guys don't learn do you? I'm not going to tell earth to surrender to anyone, not to Treize, not to Marimaia, and not to you or anyone else."
"Oh but miss Relena I have learned from my predecessor's experiences. I have leaned that I can't
keep you alive. You see miss Relena, I'm only keeping you alive to be bait for the Gundam Wing pilots. For you see, they're the ones I want." Christopher saw the confused look on Relena's face and added:
"I can tell by your face you don't understand me, let me start at the beginning. My brother Brandon and I were followers of the Marimaia faction. My brother and I are out for revenge for the death of Dekim Barton. And it was Heero Yuy, who, might not have shot him, but, was the cause of his death. Why do we want you, Miss Relena? To get to Heero Yuy, and it was so very
splendid too, a little too easy, you see the shot to your shoulder? Killed three birds with one stone. One, making the police think you would die with to much
blood gone and so they would take you to the nearest hospital. It is so much easier to get you out of a
hospital than a well guarded mansion. Two, the gun shot in you shoulder make it that much more easier to kidnap you. And three, it got Heero Yuy's attention."
Relena "Well your wrong about the third one. I haven't see him for five years!"
Christopher "Relena, you are such a bad lair, do you really think I wouldn't have you room spied on? You little fool. I made sure we didn't get you out of there before he saw you."
Relena "And if he hadn't come?"
Christopher "Why we would have kill you right then and there of course."
Relena "Why do you want revenge for Dekim's death? You're not family. Why go so far to revenge someone you have no relations to?
Christopher "Well, I'll tell you a little bit about my story, since you will not be living long. This should interest you Miss Relena. Dekim was like a father to Brandon and I, much like Darlain was to you. Dekim taught me government for when he was to old to help .Marimaia I was to be and second in command, and he taught Brandon to be a assassin, one of the best I might add. So you ask what my relation was to him? He was my father, my teacher, my mentor."
Relena said in a shaking voice "Is it just Heero and I you want to kill?"
Christopher "No, all the pilots, and lady Une"
Relena "Lady Une what for?! She wasn't a part of the attack, why kill her?"
Christopher "She has brainwashed .Marimaia My brother and I tried to talk to Marimaia about new rule order, but all she would say was 'No'. And she had this big speech: Why she did what she did was because she thought it was what her father died for, then she said that it was
just what her grandfather wanted!!!!!! Then some noisiness about how she didn't care if she died of lived. But that's not true either. She said if we wanted this we'd do it on our own. Then she walked off. Well I'm doing it on my own. And I knew right then and there that bitch Une had to die for what she did to .Marimaia"
All Relena could do was stare at the man in front of
her. He's mad, was all Relena could think. I have to
get out of here!
"Well I do have to go now Miss Relena. I do hope you get some more sleep, your going to need it."
Christopher got up from the chair and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. Despite Relena's fear she was to tired to do anything but sleep.


When Relena woke up this time Dorothy was sitting in the chair
Relena "Dorothy what are you doing here?"
Dorothy "Oh Miss Relena, is this not exciting?"
Relena: "Your thoughts on excitement is somewhat lacking, and you did not answer my question, what are you doing here?"
Dorothy "Why, I live here of course"
Relena "What did you just say?"
"I live here, and, I'm married now." Dorothy said with excitement. "I am Mrs. Brandon Anderson" she said proudly.
Relena at the mention of the name of the man who wanted to kill her, just stared at Dorothy. Dorothy took the look to mean Relena was surprised. So Dorothy
went on with her happy tale. Dorothy "And, I'm going to have a baby Miss Relena." Dorothy
put her hands on her bulging stomach. "Aren't you so happy for me? "
Relena stared at Dorothy's belly. "You're multiplying with that mad man?!?!"
Dorothy "Mad man?" Dorothy said a little confused. "What do you mean by mad?"
Relena "What do you mean? What do I mean, the man is trying to kill me!"
Dorothy "Oh, he's not trying to kill you, he and his brother are going to kill Heero Yuy, but not you. We need you, with our plans. Brandon told me this himself."
Relena "And what exactly did he tell you?"
Dorothy "Oh, he tells me everything. How Heero Yuy killed the only father type figure they had knowen. How he's sorry he had to shoot you but that there was no other way around the situation. And Miss Relena he is real sorry about it too. He told me he really
didn't want to get you involved, but you were the only one that he could use to get to Heero. He is really great isn't he? Doing what he has to do for the war that must be!" Dorothy looked off into the distance. "He really is wonderful."
Brandon walked in the room just then, looking very surprise that Dorothy was there.
Brandon "Dorothy? what are you doing in here? I thought I told you not to talk to that woman."
Dorothy "Oh come on Brany, we are old acquaintances."
Dorothy turns to Relena "Miss Relena, this is my husband, Brandon Anderson. Brandon, Miss Relena
Dorlin. I know the two of you know each other, but I just wanted to do that." Dorothy turned back to her husband and gave him a big loud kiss. "Hello love."
Brandon "Hello love. I need to talk to Relena in private. We have some things we need to talk about."
Dorothy "Alright." Dorothy gives Brandon another kiss. "Good bye Miss Relena." Dorothy said over her shoulder as she left the room and closed the door behind her.
"Now down to business." Brandon said as soon as Dorothy left the room.
Brandon started walking slowy towards the bed.

Minister Anderson was standing outside in the hall when Dorothy came out of the room and shut the door.
Christopher "Ha Dorothy, just the person I wanted to see, can you take this letter to Mr. Mikhail for me please?"
Dorothy "Why of course, I'll be happy to do that for you." Dorothy took the letter "Will you tell Brany not to disturb Relena too much? She needs her rest."
Christopher "I will."
Dorothy left the hall and just when Dorothy was out of earshot Minister Anderson hears a scream from Relena's room and smiles. "I'll tell him later"
