Death Wing

Chapter 7: Ray Penet, ace F.B.I. Agent?

Archsage Soren: Damn it, Damn it, Damn it!

Duo: Whats the problem, genius?

Archsage Soren: I'm having to write WITHOUT my usual spree of inspiration, at least some of it will be forced. Normally it just flows through me like blood from an open wound, only it feels a lot better... Now I am flying solo, and I don't know how it will affect the story!!! Whats more, that anonymous reviewing jerk was right, there IS an anime crossover section! It is in the miscellaneous category, but it is near impossible to sort through there, I tried!

Heero: Shut up, you forced half the details last chapter, but then they flowed just as easily, remember? Start without the inspiration, something will come up. It has to, I want more action, I'm bored. Besides, you were only wrong ONCE. It is still better to post it in the category of on of the base animes/games/etc., your story gets more hits and it's easier to find crossovers this way. He was just being an ass.

Relena: Sniffling/half crying Heero, I just need to Talk about it, I can't believe he's gone...

Heero: (so Relena can't hear) I'll be busy for another few HOURS AGAIN! seriously move the plot along, her constant crying is getting on my nerves. Aren't I enough for her?

Archsage Soren: Okay, but I won't make any promises.

Ray Penit: Archsage Soren doesn't own Gundam Wing, Death Note, or any items or characters borrowed from/ related to those works. If you sue him he has $300, it isn't worth it. Also, his OC's and other altered characters have a life expectancy of... ONE CHAPTER! DAMN IT!

"Speech" Thought Authors Notes

"Mnn, hnnuh, wha..." Relena mumbled. "Heero, where did you go...?" Relena woke up alone. At first she was afraid that that morning had been a dream, but when she saw where she was she happily realized that last morning with Heero and the sunrise was real.

"Don't worry, sleepy-head" Heero said in an uncharacteristically nice, friendly, and loving way. What shocked Relena more was what Heero was wearing. Still in his green flannel top and black sweats that he sleeps in, he was also adorned with a pink, frilly apron.

"You better not get used to me in an apron." Heero said after noticing why Relena had been staring at him. "I fixed you breakfast, French Toast with powdered sugar to put on it, along with milk and some fresh fruits: Blueberries, Strawberries, and Bananas. I know it is your favorite, and I figured you could use a lift after last night..." Heero explained. Authors Note: I like French toast a lot, with powdered sugar on it, and some kind of fresh fruit make it even better. Oddly enough, Blueberries are good covered in powdered sugar. Try it!

"Thank you, Heero, but this morning was more than what you had to do for me to help. It was so kind of you, and so romantic. Even better than the first dinner you fixed me." Relena said dreamily. She apparently forgot she was still in her sleeping gown (She changed back for sleep after Zechs died, I forgot to tell you, sorry!), only to notice when Heero actually started to blush.

"Here, eat your breakfast. Maybe... you should put on something less...revealing..." Heero mumbled, "Well, not that you don't look good or anything, I mean, um, no, that won't sound right... YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!"he stumbled, stuttered, and ranted a bit all at the same time. Heero was VERY confused at how to tell her she might be showing a teeny bit too much. "Yeah, it's maybe not appropriate for a lady of your standing to be showing me that much, and you should change before other people get caught in my compromising position." To Heero it still didn't sound quite right, but it would have to do.

"I understand, Heero. Your so cute when you're embarrassed!" Relena squee'd the last sentence, and kissed Heero on the cheek. Then she left to eat in her room and change. Heero's face went from slight blush to an actual shade of red. A light red, but there all the same. Luckily for him no one caught it on camera.

'Life is Beautiful' started playing from Heero's phone again, and he answered it immediately. "Hello, Heero speaking. What do you want, Duo?"

"Well, I'm not SUPPOSED to tell you this, but some F.B.I. People are going to tail you for awhile, until you actually get working on the case. It is so L can see if you are trustworthy. You might want to tell your friend as well..."

"Thank you Duo, this may be the most helpful thing you have done, after letting us on the case..." Heero thanked in his own way.

"Oh, yeah, Wu-man is thinking about joining up too... and L is going to let him. Prepare for justice rants and insulting of womens capabilities. Maybe it is a good thing you aren't bringing a girlfriend onto the case, eh?" Duo teased. Yes, even Duo knew the two were going out, and he was sure to get every last joke out about Heero dating that he physically could.

Damn it! Now I have to deal with Duo's antics, now that I think about it it will be a nice change from Relena's crying... Even the breakfast I made won't keep the morbid feel of death and sorrow from returning to the house. I will STILL have to deal with Relena crying, it is even worse knowing it is my fault. And, to make it worse, I have to deal with Wu-Fei and his rants on personal justice, which tends to change every 3 days for him, funny, huh. Could it get ANY worse?

"Oh yeah, L serves ice cream and sweets a lot, he seems to be addicted." Duo chimed in, just to fill the silence made by Heero's private thoughts taking over.

Duo on SUGAR! What did I do to deserve this, technically I killed Zechs in self defense, and all I do is for everyones good! I'm a freaking HERO, damn pun not intended... The things I put up with...

"I'll leave you to your thoughts then, Loverboy... Your... Intimate thoughts about your girlfriend, I presume." With that Duo promptly hung up. Heero was speechless, pissed off, and was thinking of what to do with Duo's body if he ever actually DID end up killing him out of anger. The wood chipper would only be the beginning of the mutilation related fun. Things to gory for a T rated story, maybe to gory for M...

The funeral was set to take place today, giving little time for people to come. Relena and Noin were crying, and Misa was pretty damn close to tears. Light and Heero just looked solemn. Somehow, the whole Kira investigation team was there too. Zechs' life's highlights were told, the flaws ignored or glorified, and all the while the girls were crying, dressed in black. Everyone got their moment for last respects. Relena spent a very Long moment, with lots of crying, what do you expect?

Eventually, it was Heero's turn. "In profession and ideal, we were mortal enemies. As fellow men of honor, however, and fellow man who cares for Relena, I promise to take the best care of your little sister. I won't let ANYTHING happen to her, even if it costs worse than my life, my soul, and more than I have to give. As Zechs, I hope you burn in Hell, OZ scum. As the man Milliardo Peacecraft and one who wished to protect Relena, I hope that you realize to embrace that side, and find your way to peace for yourself. Rest in peace, Milliardo." Heero felt much better after letting it all loose, he felt, though cliché, like a weight had been removed from him.

That was when he noticed there were four people hiding around here, all in identical suits. He was glad he warned Light before the funeral, he would have no time now with Relena upset as she was.

"Shush, Relena, shush. It's all okay, I promise. He wouldn't want your pretty face clouded with sorrow any more than I do, he would want you to move on. You can let it out, but calm down and get something from letting it out other than distorting your beauty." Heero held Relena tight as he said this in the grassy field, the landscape dotted with tombs. All the same, I hurt her bad by killing you, Milliardo/Zechs, and only I can make it right. I will keep my promise Milliardo, I will protect her no matter the cost!

When the procession was over the team simply left, not ready to admit the new members quite yet. From behind a tree 20 yards away, our soon to be Light 'stalker', Ray Penit observed the hole scene, then proceded to tail Light, seemingly unnoticed.

"Hey Light, we are being followed, love." Misa said in a worried tone.

"It's nothing, just use your eyes and tell me his name." Light told her.

"Hmm, oh!" when she saw his name, she broke out laughing. "His name is... Ray Penit, Rapen it! Get it?"

"Wow, this is just sad. I can't kill him just yet, not until he is assigned to something besides tailing me. Otherwise it would be too suspicious. Luckily, that means in one or two days, he is so dead!" Light declared. Light and Misa got to the limo, arm in arm, and found that Heero and Relena had been waiting on them.

"What took you guys, I hope it wasn't to... Intimate..." Heero teased. It was a habit he unknowingly picked up from Duo and Relena. Light and Misa blushed at that, Misa a VERY deep shade of red.

"Lets just go, I'm hungry. Also, this place is depressing." Light said, and everyone agreed with them. As they drove home, everyone tried to forget about Zechs, and in the case of Light and Heero, were trying to plan their next moves for the F.B.I. Agents and the Kira investigation team. They knew it would be awhile before they actually halted the Kira investigation, but it never hurt to think ahead. The whole ride was silent except for the quiet hum of the motor, everyone lost in thought. Today marked the end of Zechs Marquise. Today marked the beginning of the end for OZ, the Kira investigation team, and more immediately, the F.B.I. Agents. Even better for them was one secret ace up Light's sleeve. Misa had gotten the name of every investigator, and could kill L at his earliest convenience. He would have to wait awhile, of course, lest he be suspected, but L was just marked for death. From now on, this was no longer a game, this was for keeps. As we all know, Light and Heero never lose when it counts. It was all a matter of time...

Archsage Soren: Not TOO bad for lacking inspiration, was it? Hopefully not to repetitive, either. I am kind of tired writing this too! At least Relena will cry a lot less from here on out, well, at least about Zechs. We all miss him, seriously, NOW how can I bring in Epyon? If your wondering when the Gundam's will star more, I plan on a chapter or 2 from now for Gundam's to play a big part... maybe 3.

Heero: review, people! Reading and not reviewing a story at least once some point is for the N00BZ.

Light: Don't forget to vote in the Kira v.s. L popularity poll either of Arch's profile, Kira is at 66, a total of 2 votes for Kira (SAD), keep those votes coming! Review first, though.

Wu-Fei: I am in the next chapter, THIS IS JUSTICE!

Duo/Heero/Light: Damn it!

Archsage Soren: If this wasn't as good as the previous chapters I apologize again. Maybe if I had more REVIEWERS I could find more inspiration, that ALWAYS helps. Thanks a MILLION to my 2 dedicated reviewers Anonymous Void and Anime-StarWars-fan-Zach, who frequently review, critique, and help improve my work. However, if I get grounded (Interims coming out soon) I wont be able to update, so it might be awhile until the next update. Another apology for that as well. Loss of sleep due to authorial ideas makes me even more scatterbrained and unorganized, which is bad for school. I do all my work, and am missing 2 papers in 3 different classes, ALL WORK I COMPLEATED! And no credit! Pisses me off, half the time I can be smarter than the teacher and I can still get bad grades... And a C get me grounded FFS, 1 C! Unless others all A's, then I can get away with it. So yeah, it could be awhile to the next chapter. I am terribly sorry! However, if you have an X-box (I don't own one, but have a live account) my Live account is Naviburnsinhell, it is a Zelda reference, all people who played Ocarina of Time will enjoy my name. I will probably be playing Halo 3 if I am online... I most likely will be this rest of the weekend. Just tell me you are a reader if you got a Mike, I will have 1 :p. Oh, since I don't own an X-box I can be a Noob. But I get a black controller so that makes up for it, Emo Powers Activate!
