Chapter Nine
The sky was darkening and turning into its colors of night. Relena still kept her
eyes on Heero's face, but he didn't seem to be waking up at all. His vitals were still the
same and he was still motionless. "Why isn't the stuff working yet?" Relena asked, angry
nothing had changed.
"It should have changed by now. Maybe if I remix the last half of the potion it
will work better," Wufei suggested.
"Well get to it!" Relena ordered when she saw him just standing there, thinking.
Wufei snapped from his thoughts and raced from the building. Relena did a quick
glance at Sally and saw she seemed to be concentrating on something. Relena looked out
the window and saw on the outskirts of Cambilivii, the palace.
Sally stopped concentrating and looked out the window to see Wufei dash into the
building. For Relena, time seemed to slowly seep by. Her head was beginning to cloud
with sleep when Wufei glided into the room.
He pushed Relena from his path and gave three drops of the potion to Heero. He
stepped back. Relena shoved him from the way and moved next to Heero's side once
again. Nothing happened for a few moments. Then, Heero sat up, breathing heavily and
grasping his shoulder.
"Heero!" Relena exclaimed, happy to see he was better.
"Where is he?" Heero demanded, his voice barely above a whisper.
"Where is who, Heero?" Relena asked, ready to respond to his every word.
"Wufei," Heero replied, his eyes settling on the Chinese Gundam pilot.
Wufei returned the cold stare he got from Heero. "Yuy," Wufei replied, tersely.
"Why is he here, Relena?" Heero asked, ignoring Wufei.
"He is here because I made him give you the antidote," Relena replied.
"How did you make him do it?" Heero asked, now curious as to how Relena had
gotten the stubborn pilot to obey.
"I threatened him," Relena replied, giving no thought to her answer.
Heero smiled his half smile. "You are full of surprises, Lena," Heero told her.
Relena stood beside him, happy to receive such compliments from the normally
closed pilot. Wufei cleared his throat and Heero turned his attention to his friend.
"What?" Heero asked, impatience clearly stated in his voice.
"I challenge you to a duel. As soon as you are up to full strength once again, we
will settle our differences," Wufei announced.
"You will do no such thing, Chang Wufei!" Sally objected.
"Sally?" Heero asked, startled to see Wufei's girlfriend once again.
Sally smiled, but then turned her attention to Wufei and glared at him. "If you
even think about doing this behind my back, you will wish you had never found me.
Don't even think about dueling anyone. You are in enough trouble already, Wufei," Sally
warned him.
"You will be facing me on the battlefield if you even think about doing that,
Wufei. And we know who the stronger fencer is already. Don't make me prove myself
once again," Relena added.
"Well," Sally began, waiting for Wufei to cancel the duel.
"Yuy," Wufei addressed, staring at his ex-friend through slitted eyes.
Wufei exited the room and Sally obediently followed him out. Relena and Heero
watched them leave. "What is his problem?" Heero asked when they were out of earshot.
"He blamed Sally's kidnapping on you. One of those boyfriend-girlfriend things I
think. He just needs to blame something when he has something unexplainable happen,"
Relena told him.
"Hn. And what about the whole 'better fencer' thing? And what did you do to
your hair?" Heero inquired.
"Um, a I think you need to get your rest," Relena said, fidgeting a little.
"Relena," Heero pressed, his low tone warning her to talk.
"Well, if you must know, I didn't like the girlie braids tied together and the
straight hair. Have to change my look sometime. My hairdresser most likely will have a
heart attack when she sees me," Relena told him.
"And what about the fencing?" Heero continued.
"Well, I was a little bored waiting around the hospital and made him face me in a
duel. That way I wouldn't be bored and I would be learning too," Relena informed him.
"I don't believe a word you said to both of my questions. Tell me the truth
Relena," Heero told her, giving her the warning Yuy glare.
Relena couldn't keep on lying to him. It was now or never. "If you want to know
the truth, you better have a while," Relena told him.
She made herself comfortable and began to tell him the events of the past week.
Heero looked at her in a whole new light, knowing now she was no longer the innocent
little girl he once knew. He was almost amazed at her for making such a grand change
for him.
Relena finished telling her story and took a deep breath in. She looked down at
Heero waiting for his reply. He merely reached up and brushed a golden blond lock from
her face. "You did that for me?" he whispered.
"Yes," Relena replied, her breath stolen by his touch.
Slowly Heero moved his hand to cup her cheek. They moved slowly together,
both nervous to share their first kiss. Their lips slowly met in a breath taking kiss. The
kiss lasted but seconds, but to the two in love, it seemed to last a millennium. They
slowly separated, Heero's hand still on her cheek.
They looked deep into each other's eyes, Relena's soft blue, into Heero's deep
Prussian blue eyes. "I love you, Relena," Heero told her.
"I know you do. I love you too," Relena lightly laughed.
Heero gave her another kiss that made her world spin. She wrapped her arms
around his neck to keep herself from falling. They once again separated and Heero
touched his forehead to hers. "I'll try to say whatever I need to say before I leave," Heero
promised her.
"All you have to do is promise to return to me always," Relena told him.
"I'll promise you whatever you want," Heero replied.
"Oh, Heero," Relena giggled and as she met him in another kiss.
