Chapter One: Guard Duty
(A/N: The following events came after the "Endless Waltz" and "Blind
Target")
Relena's POV
Another assassination attempt down the drain... I just heard from the Preventers about the plan... just a few minutes ago actually. Apparently, my bodyguard knew this all along right from the start when the death letters came in months ago. My bodyguard, The Perfect Soldier, being the over protective stallion that he is, requested, no scratch that, demanded that the information should be kept hidden from me. Why? It seems that we were dealing with professionals this time. Trowa said that the first letter came in 2 weeks after the failed assassination of Quatre Winner at the airstrip. Each letter of the sentences was cut outs glued carefully onto the paper. They found the letter inside of my hotel suite when I visited a colony for an ESUN delegation. Duo added that the whole thing didn't have any fingerprints on it and they didn't have a clue on how it got there in the first place. And the letters kept on showing ever since with the same message.
The Preventers just assumed that I was being watched and they were just taking their time when to strike. They think that the whole thing as just a stupid prank because nothing happened for months about the unknown assassination except for the other's attempts. You what, I get a lot of such attempts to my life and there is one thing I don't get. If there are such professional assassins, why would they ever leave a note saying that the target be alert at all times? Aren't they supposed to move in secret, swift and stealth? Wufei just answered that by saying another complex expression, which Quatre only translated, some prefer to be challenged because I was surrounded by the best boys err... men that the Preventers could offer since they are the reason that I'm still alive.
So here I am, inside my main bodyguard's room. It's just besides mine. What am I doing here? Well... it seems that my assassinators or at least one of them couldn't wait any longer. I think this one was a sniper or something. So there I was on the open balcony staring at the moon. I think this one was brooding somewhere a few meters away from where I was standing. Heero was at the back checking for anything suspicious when we came back from another ESUN meeting. I heard his voice saying something. I think it's about the balcony. I shifted so I could hear him better then BAM! A gunshot echoed though out the place and panic ensued. Heero saw me fell down the balcony floor. OH MY GOD! He was so shocked that his eyes were open too wide. You should have seen his face cause it was priceless. So right at that very moment he rushed over at my side and prepared for the worst. He took his communicator and shouted at the others about the situation. Then he carried me and took me inside his room.
I said to him that there was nothing to worry about except for my ankle though. I just slipped the moment I shifted so suddenly. Coincidently, the same time the bullet was shot. Now I know what Heero said earlier. The balcony floor was just waxed so I should avoid moving at haste. I kinda laughed about what happened on his bed and then he just reached out and squeezed me tightly. I could have sworn I heard him mumble the word "Idiot" at me. Honestly I didn't know what to feel at that time. But I just smiled because his embrace entraps me again. He does this a lot every time I escape such a feat so it does kinda disappointing if this will be the only thing that can trigger him to be this close to me.
After that, he ran to the windows and closed it shut and took his communicator again saying that he is going with the search party to look for the sniper. He took another glance at me and took him a few seconds to comply and finalize his decision. He stepped closer once again at his bedside and told me to stay here while he goes after the guy and kill him. I'm not paraphrasing. He really said those exact words. Before I could even object to what his objectives he interrupted me and said that the others will stand guard. It took him 2 seconds to leave me there nut it wasn't that long either for the 4 guys to come inside. I asked what was going on and they just answered hesitantly. The whole secrecy was done so I wouldn't worry because the recent delegation was a very important one and I needed to concentrate. But I do have the right to know so they told me anyway since there is no use hiding it now that the assassins made their move... a very careless move. I think you know whom these 4 guys that I am talking about.
An hour past since the incident and Heero hasn't come back yet. I can tell that my guards are getting a little fidgety on their own styles. Duo is talking to the phone for his 5th room service since they got here, Trowa is glazing over the windows to seize the territory, Quatre is sitting quietly on a chair beside the bed reading a small book and Wufei is standing guard at the door with arms crossed, head down and eyes closed. Heero surely cares for my safety a lot sending the ex Gundam Pilots here all most full force. He must have thought that the four can match him alone when it comes on guarding me. Either that or he was just way too paranoid that I might do something stupid again and hurt myself before the assassinators succeed.
I really don't want to be a bore myself. Quatre said I should sleep cause it was getting late but somehow I couldn't sleep. Quatre attended the delegation on behalf of his colony. He was psyched to see his comrades and took the time to catch up with them before the meeting started. So what does a colonial leader doing guard duty here? I think to his own accord, he has a special consideration given by The Preventers to participate in such affairs because he was a Gundam Pilot, or maybe he is just worried about me cause I'm his friend or maybe just because Heero told him to go here the same with the others. Well anyway, maybe I could just humor them while we wait for Heero. So I just stood up and walked to the wall and grabbed a chair. All of them looked to me as I sat down wondering what I was up to. What I am about to do is so unlike me but I'm killing them with boredom.
