( Once again, thanks to those who left reviews. ^_^ It makes my day better and allows me to feel that I can actually write a little bit instead of writin' something that means nothing and is a complete jibbly-joob...n.n well....thanks again. ^_^ I will try and make the chapters longer, as stated before. Thanks ^_^ And for the one who asked, yes, I hope to do some Vash fics in the future, if this fic goes okay.)

(One more time, thanks for those who posted the reviews...I am just hesitating to wonder whether I should continue, or allow the readers to be hanging on floss! ^_^ Well, let me know what you think, and thanks to those who did! ::Pats the one who broke down and sobbed:: x.x)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Checked Confusion~~~~~~~~~~~~

After eating a breakfast consisting of pancakes and toast, Jason and Relena both sat down in the tidy living room in the corner of the house next to the kitchen. They both were quiet for some time, with their heads bowing slightly until Jason broke the silence.

"I am sorry Relena, if this isn't the same as what you are use to, for a place to live in I mean...but I want to see you happy. We will just have to wait it out for a few more days until someone notifies you somehow..."

Relena nodded her head, bringing up a hand to brush a stray strand of hair from her vision. She smiled at him, trying to comfort herself with a smile of her own, but it didn't help untie the knot that started to weave in her stomach. She felt like she was using Jason's affection for a place to stay and feel comfortable, to rely on someone as if they were going to be there for her for the rest of her life. She was happy, but empty. She felt alone, though she wasn't visibly, with Jason there with her.

"Thank you Jason, for everything...for your support, for a place to stay..."

He just smiled back to her, extending one of his hands, covering her petite one giving it a gentle squeeze before standing up to go into the kitchen to finish cleaning up the mess made earlier. Relena looked over to him as he walked away, standing up as he did, she walked over to the window looking out over through the white cedars.

"Jason, I think I am going to go into the village for a while..I need some fresh air."

Jason poked his head from around the corner after previously scrubbing a plate with a green sponge, nodding his head slightly before quickly putting the plate down in the sink, wiping his hands off with a beige towel walking out from the kitchen to face her.

"I think I should come with you...just incase something happens."

Relena hesitated for a moment, before giving a slow nod understanding the present situation, thinking it would probably be safer, but her real reason was to get away from the indoors and be alone for a while. She wasn't going to deny his sign of kindness, so accepted his offer. They both left a few minutes later, both bundled up in jackets owned by Jason, so Relena wouldn't be noticed by anybody or especially the one that Relena was supposedly running away from. She didn't know at the moment if she wanted Heero to find her, to see her with those cobalt eyes that seemed to know how she thought and what she thought of him...

"Relena?"

Relena just gave a few slow blinks, before turning her head towards Jason with a reassuring smile.

"Hmm?"

Jason gave her a quizzical look before wrapping a scarf around her neck, opening the door for her, and then closed it behind him as they both walked down the pathway to the blue car that was parked in the driveway. He opened the door for her once again, closing it slowly before walking around the front of the car to open his door. He slid inside, turning the engine on, pulling out of the driveway.

They both sat in silence as he drove the car, pulling into a small parking lot that consisted of only about 5 other cars. They both got out, looking around the parking lot before continuing on towards the row of shops and specialty stores. Relena stayed considerably close to Jason, looking around for Heero Yuy, expecting him to be somewhere, anywhere, around this place. She thought she saw him several times, with that unruly mess of brown hair, but when she looked back in the spot, the person was gone.
Relena visited several more shops, before going back to the blue parked car with Jason. They both sat in the car once again, without a single word uttered from either's lips.

Jason helped her out of the car once again, taking hold of her arm gently leading her the way to the door. Jason stood outside of the door with her, as if he were standing outside her own door, having a departing feel in the air. He looked down at her, resting his hands on both of her shoulders, leaning forward to plant a gentle kiss on her forehead, but Relena was thinking of other things. Perhaps, what it would feel like if Heero was doing this...how he would react, what his lips would feel like against her skin..his hands..

"Are you alright?"

Relena looked up at him before nodding, closing her eyes leaning forward hoping in return for a protective hug and warmth that emitted from his body. She received it, but they soon parted to go back into the house. As soon as Relena first entered into the house, her first word was "Yuy". Everything in the house was either broken, on the floor, or in a different room. She walked over around the corner to enter into her room, and found that there was nothing changed. She pressed herself up against the interior of the door to her room, closing her eyes releasing a long sigh from her parted lips.

"Why...are you doing this Heero?"

The question didn't come, nor would it for a long time. Jason walked over to her, looking down at her before releasing a sigh.

"Maybe it isn't such a good idea to keep you here anymore..."

~Later that night~

Relena soon decided it wasn't the best idea to stay with Jason, now that there really was no reason to. She didn't feel as comforted as she thought she would, nor could she stay with someone that she thought she loved, while thinking of someone else, someone who showed no emotion towards her or showed any recent sign of care towards her.

She packed the last of her things that night, while helping Jason clean the mess in his hound, knowing it was mainly her fault for accepting the offer from him to stay with him. She couldn't accept a ride from him to any hotel, and only bringing a few bags, she put them over her shoulder, opening the door to the crisp night air, turned to him looking up at his face, and gave him one word that had more than one meaning.

"..Bye"

She left before Jason could ask to call for a cab or offer her a ride yet again She closed the door behind her, stepping down the steps, walking out onto the path and onto the black-paved road.

She walked for several minutes, with cars a few cars passing her by with different headlights, before one car slid to a halt after seeing her. She turned her head, looking over her shoulder recognizing the camp's jeep, sighing with relief expecting Duo to come jump out of the car and help her with her stuff. She turned around to walk towards the car, seeing the car door open in the same fashion, except she didn't see Duo's braid fly around, instead she saw the unruly brown hair of Heero Yuy's silhouette from the moon shining down. He looked over to her, and before she could blink he ran towards her. She dropped her bags, and ran into the forest to the left of her, smelling the familiar cedar scent the emitted from the tree bark. She stumbled several times into the snow, lifting herself back up to keep running. She shouldn't be running. She shouldn't be acting like this. She shouldn't have to run from the one person she knew she cared about, the one person who saved her from the cruelty of the world. She kept running, knowing that Heero's skills as an ex-Gundam pilot and the current training he takes part in would allow him to overtake her in time. But she didn't care. She kept running as hard as she could.

She ran stumbled down an unexpected hill, unseen by the naked eye from the shadows in the forest that made it almost impossible to see more than 10 feet in front of her. She took a deep breath, trying to stay calm, before dashing down the hill, turning around the small hill into a small cache under a slight cliff that arched over her current position, leaning back into a rather cushiony substance, releasing a sigh.

The next thing happened suddenly, for a pair of hands came up from behind her, covering her mouth and bringing her down into the snow under the strong body that was behind her, with the cloth that was covering her mouth filled with a sedative that caused her to fall asleep almost immediately.
