On With The Show!

My Life for His

She sat on her throne full of abhorrence for the man beside her. Princess Relena Peacecraft (now Queen), the most independent of all the princesses, had been forced to marry. Marry this greasy, old, foul tempered, abusive man she now called a husband. Her freedom had now been taken from her and her dreams of escape shattered and it was all for the good of the people. At least that is what she thought.

"Your highness, the rebels are getting stronger by the day and I hear tell that the leader Captain Heero Yuy of The Wing is on his way here to attack the castle" said a distressed informer.

"Yuy huh? Let him come. I will destroy him and that little force of his he calls a pirate crew."

"Should we inform the villagers sir?"

"Leave them be. Their lives mean nothing to me. As long as some remain for me to take whatever I feel necessary from their income"

"Yes Sir"

The man left with an outraged Relena sitting beside her so called husband.

"How can you just sit there? Our people might be attacked and all you care about is how much money you will make from the taxes. What kind of King are you?"

Slap

"You woman will not question my authority. I am the closest thing to God and I am law. You will respect your husband and stay quiet like all women should. Now get yourself to bed and I will be there shortly"

She rubbed her face and bowed her head "Yes my liege".

She turned and walked out of the throne room to her own. The disgust could not have been more clearer on her face. Sharing a bed with that man and having to please him made her sick. Her maids undressed her and set her in a long silk nightgown. The bruises from her husband's abuse stained her porcelain like skin but the help knowing of their King's strength would never speak up about it though they loved their Queen very much.

"You may leave now, have a good rest all of you"

"Thank you mi' lady" they said in unison as they walked out.

She opened the window and welcomed the ocean breeze that chilled her searing skin. Her honey hair flowed about her as the gale continued to drift. She looked out upon the calming scene and wished for the thousandth time for an escape from her hell but once again God did not answer her prayer.

"What is that?"

She leaned out the window and squinted. On the horizon was a dark shape. It sat unmoving on the ocean's surface until a thunderous roar encompassed her hearing and a large cannon ball came flying towards her window. She jumped back. Fear evident in her cerulean orbs. The blasts continued as screams could be heard outside her door. Though her legs wobbled she stood and ran out her door. As she stepped out one of the maids bumped into her within the confusion.

"What is going on? Who is attacking us?"

"Mi' lady! I'm so sorry that I ran into you"

"Don't worry about that please answer my question"

"It's Captain Yuy. They snuck into the town and are now attacking the castle. I'm scared mi' lady"

The young woman cried out of fear and hugged her Queen for all she was worth.

"It's alright. Go hide in the cellar. I'm sure the others are heading there as well"

"What about you?"

"I'll be fine. Go now."

Relena turned and ran down the corridor. They are here for the King. If she was right then they would be in the throne room. She pushed open the doors and low and behold there kneeled her husband on his hands and knees begging for his life with a handsome brunette with unruly hair hovering over him. Next to him stood another with russet hair pulled back into a braid.

"Please don't kill me! Take what ever you want just don't hurt me"

"Shut up! I hate people like you. You misuse the power you are given by tormenting your people. I Captain Heero Yuy will not allow this to continue. For the good of the people you will die"

"Bad move trying to bribe our Captain. Tsk tsk tsk not a good move"

The King quaked with fear and Relena couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Even though he abused her she couldn't let someone be killed if she could have stopped it.

"Stop!"

They turned to look at her.

"Please do not kill him."

"Who are you?" Heero asked with malice in his prussian orbs.

Gaining up the courage to speak she stepped forward until she stood about three feet away. The pistol that had been aimed at the King was now aimed at her but she was not afraid.

"I am his queen please do not kill him. Take me instead"

"You'd trade in your life for his? This heap of nothing? A disgusting excuse for a man?"

"I sacrifice my life for his. Take away his crown and glory but please do not take his life. I do not wish death on anyone. Even this dick of a husband of mine"

He lowered his pistol and gazed upon her form. She was gutsy he had to admit that. She just called her husband a dick and still she wishes for him to be spared.

"Captain what do we do?"

"Quiet Duo. You realize that in return for sparing this sorry excuse your life now belongs to me"

"Yes."

"Then we have an agreement. Duo!"

"Yes sir"

"Take everything including the clothes on his back. Leave nothing. Then shackle his hands and feet and leave him in the square for all to see."

"Aye aye Captain"

" I strip you of your title as King of the Sanq Kingdom but I will not kill you. In return for your life I am taking your woman"

He turned and walked up to Relena.

"Come with me"

She nodded and did as instructed. They walked out of the castle into the square and watched as Duo dragged the former King to a pole and shackled him there. The villagers walked out of their homes and laughed. In relief and hilarity. They were now free of their oppression and though Relena was happy for her people she was afraid of what this man would or could do to her.

The pirate crew stood amongst the villagers, cheering along with them.

"Everyone board we are leaving now! Miss…?"

"Relena"

"Miss Relena, you can call me Heero. You will now work for me and if I catch you trying to escape I will not hesitate in killing you. Understand?"

"I will not run from the likes of you Captain."

He laughed and began to walk back towards his ship with Relena in toe.

"Quite a mouth you have on you. This is going to be interesting"

He boarded and held out his hand for her. She hesitated but took his hand and was pulled onto the ship. He let her go and headed for the wheel.

"Prepare to cast off!"

Everyone was busy in preparation. It took four men to pull up the anchor and many more to tighten the sails. The ship pulled out of the harbor as Relena looked back at her home. No goodbye sprang from her lips but excitement filled her heart. God had finally answered her prayers. Heero looked over from his position at the wheel to gaze at his new crew member. A smile played on her lips at her granted wish. His eyes roamed over her smiling face and couldn't help but smile as well.

I want at least one review so I can make the next chapter. No flaming please. Thank you
