Disclaimer- I don't own Gundam Wing/AC but i wish i did

This is my first story i've decided to publish, so if you could please review i'd love you all forever.

*~*Chapter one*~*

"I believe that if we work together instead of constantly fighting this endless war, we can do so much more with our lives" Relena started but before she could continue a shot fired, pushing through her arm. The next five minutes was total chaos. The preventers surrounded the area, others ducked behind chairs, an explosion took off, and it was endless chaos.

Screams could be heard all around. Relena was now on the ground, clutching her bleeding arm, the pain unbearable. Heero was the first one to her side, pushing her hand aside and applying presure to the wound. From the looks of it, the bullet went straight through.

"Relena, relax, it's going to be okay" he said, keeping his stone face in check. Duo was the next one to come to her aid.

"Relena"

"Has everyone made it out alive?" she asked, tears streaming down her face, her voice unsteady.

"everyone is fine" Duo answered. A small smile appeared on her face before she said, "thank you" she said, before fainting.

"Relena" Heero called to her, no answer.

"WE NEED A MEDIC NOW" Duo shouted.

~*~the next day~*~

"Miss Relena, how are you feeling today" Pagan asked walking into the princess's room.

"I'm fine Pagan" she said. Truth was, she wasn't. She had never been shot before, this was a whole new experience. She's been shot at, kidnapped, drugged, forced to become the queen of the entire world, but she had never been shot. The pain was almost unbearable, and whoever they, they being the group who was targeting her this time.

"Mr. Yuy has requested you to come to the preventers HQ ma'am, as soon as you feel able to move"

"Thank you Pagan, I can be ready within the hour" she said. Pagan excused himself and left, leaving Relena to think while she got ready. Her arm adoring a simple bandage wrapped around the wound.

She dressed in black slacks and a white button up shirt. Being only 17 was hard enough for normal teenagers. But these teenagers, between the gundam pilots and her being the Vice Minister, they wish they had a normal life.

She sat at the vanity before brushing her long honey blond hair, placing it into a pony tail, like she usually did for business conferences and meetings. She stood grapping a pair of heels and her jacket. She met Pagan in the new black limo and soon arrived at the Preventers headquarters where Heero was waiting for her along with Duo. While the Persian blue eyed boy was his usual stone-faced self, the long hair braided boy was his usual goofy self, instantly becoming animated as the princesses limo arrived at the steps.

"Hey princess, see you've joined the club of gunshot wounds" Duo said helping her out of the car.

"Duo, we have no time for games today" Heero said walking ahead of the two. Into the building and to the conference room.

"What is his problem today? Have you irritated him today" Relena asked as she and Duo followed him.

"He's been this way ever since yesterday, like something crawled up his ass and died" Duo said resting his hands behind his head, as if he was lying down rather than walking.

Relena looked ahead and continued to walk. Soon the conference room came into view, Heero and lady Une were already waiting for the two.

"Have a seat Miss Relena" Lady Une said.

"Why have I been summoned today" Relena asked.

"As we all know Colony 0019525 has declared war on earth…again. But as it seems, this time they don't seem ready to give up early like they have before. One of their operatives managed to sneak into the assembly yesterday and take a shot at you." Lady Une reported.

"I assume he has been captured and questioned"

"He's past questioning he's dead" Heero stated.

"What" the princesses stood up.

"Relena, he shot you" Heero said calmly still sitting.

"But I lived"

"Because he missed"

"I still lived"

"IT DOESN'T MATTER HE TRIED TO KILL YOU RELENA!" Heero said finally losing his temper and shooting from his chair. They were both in a standoff.

"Who gives you the right to take life Heero, he could have had a family, people depending on him, and you took that from them"

"You're a stupid women you know that" Heero said.

"Because I want peace without the loss of human life?" she questioned.

"Because you have no strength. You are a weakling, which is why you won't fight, that is why you are constantly in danger, and you are too weak to be alive" he said. Before anyone could even guess what had happened, a smack was heard throughout the room. Relena had slapped Heero with so much force that his check had redded instantly and his head snapped to the side.

She turned and left everyone in too much shock to realize that Relena had dropped her pacifist ways for a second, not to mention she did it towards Heero who they all knew she had loved.

'Heero, you think I'm weak, I'll show you, I'll prove you all wrong, I'll show you all' she stomped off.

She didn't bother to take her limo instead walking home despite how far away it was.

Two hours later, she had finally made it home. Her arm hurt, her legs were in pain from the distance, her feet from the heels. She walked into through the back where the kitchen was to hear Pagan on the phone.

"I'm sorry Mr. Yuy but she has yet to show up home. I have begun to worry about Miss Relena" she heard him.

She carefully removed her heels as to not make much noise and silently closed the door. Creeping past Pagan who was still on the phone with Heero she went into her room. She opened her closet pulling out a school backpack from the days when she went to school, before her father left her, before she was pulled into this crazy war, before her life was turned upside down from learning about what project meteor really was. She tossed two pairs of jeans into the bag as well as a few of her rather unappealing and seemingly average shirts. She tossed in her spare hair brush and then quickly changed throwing on a black shirt and black skinny jeans that hugged her body. She pulled a pair of black knee high flat boots over her legs and stared in the mirror. She didn't look like the Miss Relena Peacecraft that the world has come to either love or hate. Now she looked more like she was running. She was, running from herself. Running from being the Vice minister, running from the gundam pilots, running from Heero Yuy.

"I assume you won't be coming back Miss Relena" she heard Pagan at the door.

"That is correct"

"I assume that you do not the young gundam pilots to know"

"Correct again"

"Will you ever return?"

"Possibly,"

"You wish not to be seen I assume" he said.

"Correct once again"

"Then you shall be needing this Miss Relena" he said handing her a box of dark red hair dye. Everyone would expect and be looking out for a bright blue eyed blond dressed like the politician she was, never expecting a red head dressed like an ordinary teenager.

She took the box and smiled. Despite she was possibly breaking his heart, Pagan still looked out for her.

"Thank you" she said before going to work on dying her hair. 45 minutes later, the color had taken and she now looked nothing like she once had. Grabbing her backpack off the bed and walking out the back once again she looked back.

"Take care miss" Pagan called. Not saying her name.

"I will, thank you Pagan" she said under her breath, yet Pagan acknowledge her as if he had somehow heard her. She turned. With money in her bag, a leather jacket in her hand and her bag over her shoulder she knew it was time. Relena Peacecraft was now dead. And a new stranger had been born.

Heero had finally done it. He had killed her, just like he said he would.

So...what do you think? Please review so i can see if it's even worth it to post. Please and thank you.
