A/N hey! Sup everyone? Thank you so much for all the awesome reviews. I can't even tell you how happy I was to get them! I think I nearly blew out my friends ear I was so excited. Now, last chptr I didn't get too much into detail because I was excited about my new story and wanted to get it out asap. But this chptr ill be getting a bit more into each individual character and add somemore detail to it. But to all those hopeless romantics, like myself, I do asure you that there's plenty of fluff to come (I love fluff!) but there will also be a lot of dark sadness because… *evil grin*. Well, you'll find out. Now, I must confess that im not too sure what a foreign minister does so I won't get too into her job, just have talked about enough to convey my point. teehee! I definitly talk too much. Please R&R.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing or it's characters. *tear drop* I may be lucky but im not that lucky. *heaves sigh* I don't own 2 Weeks Notice either, just wanna cover meself cause the titles are practically the same.

Weeks Notice

Chapter 2:
Relena awoke with a start and sat up breathing hard. Light was filtering through her windows and birds were welcoming the new morning. She found herself lying in bed still in the clothes that she had put on yesterday. "What…" she couldn't remember how she had got like this, her hair was all mussed up and her clothes were a wrinkled mess. Her hand felt stiff and when she looked at it she saw dried blood. With a gasp she got up and headed into the bathroom that was connected to her room. As she approached the sink she saw more blood there. "What…" She looked at her hand again. There was no cut that she could see.
She hardly had anytime to think before her knees suddenly gave beneath her and she fell to the floor, coughing uncontrollably. She couldn't breath. She tried gasping for air but her lungs screamed in pain and she only coughed more. Her eye's watered and she felt something wet and salty in her mouth that normally wasn't there.
Finally she regained control and looked at her arm where she had been coughing. She drew in a sharp breath as she saw more blood. But that was a mistake. It only started her coughing more. She slowly regained control of herself again and that's when she remembered last night.
She had decided to go to bed early because she was totally useless, lost in thought about Heero. But the second the door closed behind her and she was alone in the darkness of her room she practically collapsed. She felt so weak and her chest was heaving in pain. She made it to her bathroom and leaned fully on her sink. But when she looked in the mirror she was shocked at what she saw. Her face was paler then a ghosts and it glistened with sweat as she gasped for air. Her eyes were dull as the sea on a stormy day and she hardly recognized herself.
Her body retched and gagged but nothing came out and she ended up coughing. During a momentary respite she glanced at the sink and saw spots of blood. She fell to her knees, coughing into her hand, unable to stop, unable to breathe.
Her coughing calmed a bit and she was able to get control, still coughing every once in a while. She looked at her hand. It was true. She was now coughing up blood. It was getting worse. She couldn't let this happen! She had duties to perform and she wouldn't let anything get in the way of doing them.
She tried to stand but was too weak to do it on her own. She crawled out of the bathroom and crawled to her bed, being careful not to leave any bloody handprints. When she reached her bed she grasped it carefully and was able to lift herself onto her feet. She was so dizzy she practically fell down again but she struggled against the urge to merely lie down. She would fight this with every ounce of strength she had. But before she could take another step she had another coughing fit and ended up falling unconsciously on her bed, blacked out for the night.
She shook her head, trying to remove the memory. She carefully stood, keeping a good grip on the sink. She began washing away both the dried and fresh blood, scrubbing her hand good to hide any evidence of it at all.
Finally satisfied, she walked into her closet and began picking out this day's outfit, making sure to pick a long sleeve one to hide the pink spots on her arm where the blood didn't want to wash off. As she was finishing getting dressed there was a soft knock on her door followed by Quatre's voice.
"Ms. Relena?"
"I'll be out in a minute, Quatre." She hurried to her dresser to make sure her hair was all right then headed for the door. She put her hand on the doorknob but still stood there a moment. She was calm now, her breathing under control and all sweat gone from her face. There was no blood to be seen, no sign upon her dignified body that anything had ever been amiss. All she needed to do was add the finishing touches to complete the effect. Her face became hard as stone, not even betraying the fact that she lived. Then, she gently lifted the corners of her mouth to show the slightest hint of a smile. When she opened her eyes she forced them to shine like the ocean on a warm summers day. Her mask was complete.
She opened the door and walked out to find Quatre speaking with someone.
"Hello Quatre. Sorry about that, I slept in a bit."
He turned at the sound of her voice, that ever-present smile still shining on his lips. But when he turned she could see whom he had been talking to. Time seemed to stop. All air was forced out of her lungs in a single, silent gasp. She suddenly found herself underneath the harsh scrutiny of a pair of brooding, dark eyes. Eyes dark as a summer lightning storm, and just as furious. A pair of eyes that frightened her and excited her at the same time. They made her feel that she had no clothes on and that her soul, her life, her thoughts and everything about her was out there in the open for everyone to see and criticize. They were a pair of eyes that she knew all too well.
"Heero" she used his name like a greeting that one would give their archenemy. Quatre was certainly right when he said that he was back in town.
She walked to her desk and sat down, not wanting to dwell on the fact that a boy, no, a man that she hadn't seen for three years, that had put her on the emotional roller coaster of her life, that she had chased around on some foolish, school girl whim, was right now standing here in front of her like a nightmare, or a dream, out of the past. He's grown too. He's taller than I remember, and he's certainly more built as well. She suppressed a giggle and a smile and did her best to concern herself with business.
"Quatre, is everything prepared for my trip to M1?"
"Ah… Yes, it is." he said quickly. He was a bit surprised that Relena hadn't had anything to say about the fact that Heero had suddenly appeared in her office.
"Good. I'll have to ask Noin for their file, I can't seem to find mine." she said while going through the some of the papers on her desk.
"Um… Ms. Relena?" Quatre asked tentatively.
She looked up with wide, innocent eyes. "Yes Quatre?"
"Well, Wufei wanted me to tell you about the new security plan."
She took on a wary look at that. She thought that Wufei was very uptight about security. "And what would that be?"
"Well, you see…Heero here is going to be your personal bodyguard." He waited for her response, which he knew would be negative.
"A bodyguard?" she asked skeptically. "Quatre, you know how I feel about bodyguards."
"Yes, I know, but…Princess…"
"Relena." she demanded.
"Right…Relena…You see…there's been some concerning letters sent. It's just a security precaution."
"I don't care Quatre. I don't like having a bodyguard. I have nothing to be afraid of."
"Yes, you do." Relena froze at the sound of that deep, toneless voice. "Even if you don't feel afraid there are people who would assassinate you in a second if they had a chance. I will, of course, be staying totally out of sight."
"Yes, but I'll still know you're there." she said, snapping out of it. She had to be defiant.
"It's only temporary." Quatre put in hopefully.
"Only until he danger passes." Heero said, hoping that he wasn't being too obvious.
She stood and turned her back to them as she stared out her windows. "And then you'll be gone again." she whispered.
"Ms. Relena?"
"Fine. But it isn't permanent." She sat back down and refused to look up at either of them again.
And that's how it all started.
