Light and Dark,

Two of Hearts.

Author's notes- Just don't ask about the title. I don't own Gundam Wing, never have never will. As for the fic, it's hella AU and many of the characters may be OCC, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Part 2

Heero walked with the three boys outside and then they just stopped and turned around. They crossed their arms and looked at him with hate filled eyes.

"We heard what you were doing to Relena." Heero was bewildered, what could he have done to make them upset. "We know all the horrible things that you've done to Relena. Making her do drugs, forcing her into whatever gang your in, impregnating her..." Heero then realized that the rumors that he had overheard were of him and Relena. But he couldn't think of a reason why they would come up with such lies. He would never do anything like that to Relena, never. But these boys implied that he's the bastard that was purposively ruining Relena's life. "Now I don't know what Relena sees in you, but you're going down. A person like you doesn't disserve a girl like Relena." The boys go into a ridiculous fighting stance, Heero almost chucked. "Well you think it's funny know, but you won't be laughing when we're done kicking your ass!"

"I'm sorry, but I believe that you are mistaken as was I." The boys could only look on with dumbfounded faces.

"What?" Relena returned and she finds that Heero wasn't on the couch where she last saw him. She turned to a girl with short, purple hair.

"Excuse me Hilde, have you seen where Heero went?"

"What, oh yah I did. Some guys went up to him and asked him if he could talk to him privately." Relena went white in the face, someone had taken these rumors for fact and are now going to punish him for false reason.

"Thank you Hilde. Do you know where they went?"

"Outside why?" Before Hilde could get her answer, Relena rushed towards the front door, expecting a bloody fight and hopping that it wasn't, finding Heero and the other guys laughing on the porch.

"Boy, did we screw that up. And we were this close to getting ourselves in a fight. Sorry about that man." The leader with gravity defying bangs said.

"That's okay, it was all a misunderstanding."

"Then we're cool with this then?" A blond haired boy asked.

"I believe so."

"Then it's okay then, well peace." Another boy with meter-long braid made a peace sign. They left and gave their wishes to Relena and she thanked them. Relena sat down by Heero, not sure what to say. Heero then turned towards Relena.

"Sorry about leaving you without telling you Relena, they just-" Relena interrupted him.

"That's alright. So what did they wanted to see you about?"

"Some rumors around school about us, they totally believed them. I have to admit I did fell for them, but I thought it was another guy. I wonder how those rumors started in the first place."

"You thought it was someone else?" Relena tried to hid her slight discoloration of her cheeks.

"Yah, and I wanted to teach him for doing all of those things to you too, I mean those rumors were talking about extremely sinful acts."

"You were going to defend me?" Her cheeks were splashed with a few shades brighter.

"No one deserved to be treated that way. It's just so dishonorable for someone to do something like that." Relena couldn't believe what she was hearing, Heero was willing to defend her from any kind of injustice. Thought she wasn't sure of the motives, but Relena was positive that Heero deeply cared about her, all that remains is if it was as a friend or as a lover. Relena didn't know. They returned to the party soon afterwards and Relena introduced her brother and her fiance, Lucrezia Noin, to Heero. He was well mannered and the politeness of a gentlemen, which startled Milliardo. The two got to know each other more as the party continued, talking about what their interests were, what they think about the modern world and life, topics were spoken between the two.

The next day was a day off from school and all the students were free to do whatever they want. Relena sees this as another opportunity to be with Heero. She loved him dearly and didn't want him to get into trouble after what almost happen at her party. Heero could face trouble from the other students that might have misunderstood the rumors and trust them as fact. Heero, in the meantime, was pondering how and why did the entire student body made up those rumors about him and Relena. Then he spied Relena walking very close to him, VERY close to him. An idea came to his head and then shrugged it off. The two were walking in front of the Radio Shack store that showed their television sets out on the window, along with some other gadgets when there was a news flash that caught the two eyes.

"We interrupt this program to bring you this special report. We have just received word that the Californian city of Concord was attacked by the Cult/Terrorist Group called the Organization of Zodiac, widely known as OZ. The city was devastated by stolen military Mobile Suits and illegally modified helicopters from a nearby base. Hundreds of civilians were either wounded or killed by OZ. It has been known that OZ has attacked city after city to send their message to the UN to grant them a country of their own. Several member Nations of the UN have requested permission to enter the United States with a military force to stop the rampaging OZ. Even the Arabic Coalition have their Maganacs Mobile Suits stored in their carriers and are currently in route towards the Californian coast line. The President worries that the intervene of Mobile Suits into the cities would cause unholy civilian losses, but the Arabic Coalition had assured the President that they will take extra care of their civilians just as they did when the United States brought peacekeepers into the warring states period before the formation of the Arabic Coalition. The US military has pinpointed several locations where the OZ group would attack next, although it is not certain. We now continue to your regularly scheduled program currently in progress." Heero finds that Relena was clinging to his arm, tightly. Concord was only an hour away from the town and OZ could attack them at anytime and moment.

"Geez, we do not need that kind of information." Heero turned around to find the same three boys from the party the night before. "Just how did they become a military power in the first place?" Heero grunts in acknowledgement. Though they tried to beat up Heero last night, Duo, Quatre and Trowa were Relena's best friends.

"Hi you three, what are you two doing here?"

"Nothin, just cruising around the streets before we heard that broadcast." Duo shrugged.

"I believe that it's pronounced nothing Duo." Heero told the braided youngster.

"Keep your grammar to yourself Yuy. I mean we got more important things to worry about besides how to speak a sentence right now, if you get my drift."

"I hear yah, those OZ terrorists are crazy and blood thirsty for all we know. Heck, they could attack us anytime now." Trowa said and that made Relena cling to Heero's arm even tighter. He could feel the circulation to his arm being cut off but minded the numbness.

"Don't say that, Relena's scared enough as is. Besides we got outside help to get them." Quatre reminded Trowa.

"Yah well let's see them in actual combat. I mean Mobile Suits were only introduces two years ago and no one has the slightest idea how to fight in those walking tin cans." Duo said.

"True, but they are a formidable opponent." The teens looked towards the source of the voice and found the Principal himself, Mister Treize Kushrenada.

"What makes you say that Kush?" Duo said to the principal using the nickname that Trieze Kushrenada hated.

"The name is Treize Kushrenada, Maxwell. And I say that because I've seen the test trials of the Zaku and Leo Mobile Suits. Infantry soldiers would find it impossible to successfully weaken the metal behemoth and tanks were simply smashed under the Suits' feet. In the hands of any man, they could have ruled the world with them, but the technology were distributed first to NATO and other allies of the United States to maintain the peace. Eventually all member nations designed and created their own mobile suit and sure enough, a terrorist group like OZ took advantage of the current situation and stole some suits."

"Thanks for the history lesson Treize, but I don't think that I'll be needing it soon." Duo brushing off the information from Trieze Kushrenada. The group decided to go to the mall, much to Heero's silent dislike. There they met up with Relena's other friends; Hilde, Dorothy and Catherine. Though Relena was suspicious of Dorothy always looking at Heero with lustful eyes, she brushed it off for today she was tossing all of her cares away, all exempt for two; Heero and the OZ attacks. They traveled across the mall looking at items sold in the stores. Then the three guys find a video game store and dragged Heero with them, alone the girls asked Relena many questions about her and Heero.

"So did you two ever do it?" Hilde asked.

"What- No, we do not do anything like that!" Relena was shocked from what Hilde asked of her. 'Though I wish that Heero would love me.' She mentally added. Dorothy heard this and she was pleased and gave a slight smirk.

'So Yuy's a virgin huh? This should be fun.' Dorothy thought lustfully. "Anything else that we should know about Relena?" She asked.

"No, nothing happened between us. I can't believe that you guys listen to those lies."

"Come on Relena, there is some truth in rumors, even a tiny bit. Those rumors don't just pop out of nowhere, there has to be some logic to it. Come on Relena, just spill the beans already. Is there anything between you two other than casual friendship."

"No, nothing like that. Would you three just forget it already." Heero then walked up to her.

"Relena, what time did your brother say to be back home?"

"Heero, it's just..." Relena looks at her watch and gasped. "Oh my god, I am so dead!" Both Relena and Heero departed from the group and went straight home. Unknown to Heero, Relena slipped a piece of paper into his jacket. As they reached the house, they said their goodbyes and Heero drove off. Upon reaching his apartment, Heero parked his motorcycle and reached for his keys, he felt something and pulled it out. It was a piece of paper and on it wrote:

Dearest Heero,

Meet me at my room around 1:00 tonight. There is something I need to tell you.

Relena

P.S.~ Go through my window.

The note bewildered the youth as he looked at his watch. 7:38 p.m., he had much to do until 1:00. What was it that she wanted to tell him about? There was only one way to find out what that was and that was to meet Relena at 1:00 in her room, though he wasn't sure why she wanted him to go trough her bedroom window in the first place.
