On Trial - Chapter 2 - Visions of the Future?
* * *
Heero and Relena were dancing closely without a care in the world. His arms encircled her waist; her arms were around his neck as she laid her head on his chest.
" This is perfect. " She commented.
" Yes. "
" Hmm. The war is over, and our reward is being able to be together. "
" You're right all the pain we went through was not in vain. " He said as he gently kissed her on the head.
" Heero, what kind of pain did you have to go through? "
" Everything. Physical. Mental. Emotional. "
" I'm sorry. " She said as a sad look appeared on her face.
" Don't be. It's not your fault. Besides something good came out of it all. "
" What ? "
" You. " With that, Heero gently lifted Relena's head until they were centimeters apart. He whispered two words.
" Aishiteru tenshi. "
His lips came down to kiss her. Before they did, however, Relena noticed a black cloaked figure behind Heero with claws on his hands.
" I am here for the girl. " The mysterious figure said.
Heero protectively stepped in front of Relena.
" You have to go through me first. "
In a flash, the figure forced his clawed fist through Heero's chest. He pushed harder as his hand exploded out of Heero's back. Relena watched in horror as a rich crimson color spread over Heero's white silk shirt.
" Why ? " She asked as tears filled her eyes.
" He is a murder. He deserves to die. " He replied as he withdrew his hand and vanished.
Heero fell to his knees and then toppled to the ground. Relena picked him up and cradled his head in her lap. She looked into his eyes and saw a great deal of pain.
" Re..Relena. " He painfully said between gasping breaths. He gave a weak cough and blood covered his lips.
" I….I'm…sorry. " He said as he went unconscious.
Relena's vision was blurred with tears as she put her forehead against his. She felt his light breaths on her face.
" He's still alive. Someone please help. "
People walked all around Relena and yet they were deaf to her cries. Many walked by and looked at her with a look of disgust. One man stopped and said.
" Hmph. How can you care for that trash? "
Relena looked at him confused. She looked back at Heero and saw he was holding on. A hospital caught her eye and she took Heero there. She went to the front desk to get help.
" Please help him. " She begged.
" Wait a minute. That's Heero Yuy the Gundam Pilot. " The reception lady said.
" What does that have to do with anything ? "
" He's better off dead. "
The reception lady pulled out a gun and shot Heero through the forehead. Heero fell out of Relena's arms on to the floor. Relena frantically check for any signs of life but found none.
" Heero get up! Please get up. " She fell on top of him defeated.
" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! "
* * *
" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! " Relena cried as she bolted up in bed. (ND: Yes it was a dream, but it holds much significance.) Tears rolled down the young princess' face as the vivid scenes flashed in her head.
" It was so real. " She whispered.
At that moment Heero burst through the door.
" What happened? Are you okay? " He asked. He noticed her tears and was immediately at her side.
" You…You're okay. " She cried as she clung to him with all her might.
Heero put his arms around her and ran his fingers through her hair to comfort her.
" What happened ? " He asked in a whisper.
" They…killed you. "
" Who ? "
" I don't know. A black figure tried to get me…*sniff*…you protected me and he hurt you. " Remembering all the blood made her cry harder.
" Shh…It was only a nightmare. I'm right here Relena. "
" It was so real Heero. " She said calming down.
" But it wasn't . "
" I know. " She replied swallowing and she continued.
" You and I were dancing together. You told me something in Japanese and were about to kiss me. Before you did, a man came trying to take me away. You got in front of me and he rammed his hand through your body. He said he killed you because you were a murderer. I tried to get help, but it was like everyone was against you. I took you to a hospital and a lady there shot you. "
" Hn. I wouldn't die that easily. However, I would always protect you at all costs. "
" That's what worries me. I would never want you to die like that. "
" Okay. I promise never to die like that. "
" How can you promise such a thing? "
" Relena, I've never broken a promise to you, and I don't intend to start now. " He said as he leaned down to kiss her.
Their lips touched and Relen'a body went on fire. His lips were so warm and soft. Her hands traveled from his chest to his neck as she entangled them in his hair. His hands were traveling down Relena's back as he pressed Relena closer to him. Relena let out a moan and Heero's tongue enetered her mouth massaging it. The two continued to kiss while their mouths fought to consume each other. Relena was growing short on air and she reluctantly broke apart from Heero placing her hands on his solid chest.
Relena searched his face and found that his eyes were reflected what she had in hers: love and happiness. He even had a small smile on his face. His look was so genuine that she couldn't help but smile back.
" My tenshi. " Heero called her as he caressed her face.
" What does that mean? "
" My angel. " He replied. This caused Relena to snuggle closer to him.
" I'm exhausted let's go to sleep. "
He nodded, laid down and pulled his princess close to his body. In the back of his mind, he knew that she was engaged and would be married soon. Tonight he didn't care though. He had the person he cared about most in his arms and that was all that mattered.
