Later at the Sons House...
"Here, I hope this cheers you up a little," Chi Chi placed a cup of hot cocoa in front of the five Gundam Pilots, including Relena.
"I don't think anything can cheer me up at this point," Duo whispered.
"Wars are deadly. People are killed in wars, that is what wars are. Heero died as a soldier. I'm sure he wanted it that way," Wufei said softly.
Goku sat there puzzled, ashamed. He walked into the kitchen, Chi Chi following.
"Goku, what's wrong?" Chi Chi asked softly. Goku covered his face with his hands.
"It's my fault he died," he choked, "If I didn't summon him and the others, he would still be alive."
Chi Chi hugged her husband, "It's not your fault. You didn't know this would happen..."
Goku clutched his fist, his hair turned blonde.
"If ONLY!" he screamed.
"Goku calm down!" Chi Chi yelled.
"If we only still had the dragonballs we could wish him back!" Goku slammed his fist onto the table, splitting it in two, "Another victim of my carelessness!"
Chi Chi frowned. Comforting her husband is futile, at least right now. Goku had asked Kami to destroy the dragonballs since so many people filled with hatred would get their hands on it and use it for foolish purposes.
"I'm sorry Goku..." Chi Chi said softly. Goku turned, "No, I am. I shouldn't have yelled like that..."
Goku and Chi Chi shared a tender embrace.
Relena sipped her cocoa slowly, the tears still flowing.
"Why did he save me?" she asked softly, "Why? Those bullets were meant for me, not him..."
Suddenly, Duo stood up, "Yeah, it's a shame he had to die."
He suddenly smiled, pointing a gun at her.
"Duo...?" She asked.
"Heh, you're going to die too."
"NOOO!!"
"NO! Heero!" Relena awoke in a cold sweat. She looked around frantically, gasping for air.
"It was...a dream?" She looked around. She saw Heero lying down on the couch, sleeping.
"Heero!" Overwelmed, Relena ran to him and hugged him.
"What the-" Heero woke up, then screamed in pain. Relena backed away.
"Sorry...oh my god, you're alive!" She cried.
Heero raised an eyebrow.
"What are you talking about?" He demanded.
"I was kidnapped and you saved me, then you saved my life, but you died in the process!"
Heero's face softened.
"I get it now," he muttered. He lifted his shirt up, revealing his bandaged stomach, blood seeping through.
"It really happened?" She asked, confused.
"Yes, but after I pushed you out of the way, you passed out from the impact of falling. Delayed reaction, I suppose. The part about me dying was just a dream."
Relena was silent for a while, thinking things over.
"So, you really did save me?" she asked.
Heero looked away, ashamed.
"Who thought the Perfect Soldier like me would save a girl I'm supposed to kill..." he trailed off, looking at her.
"Why did you save me?" She asked.
He said nothing, he looked out of the window, at the stars. Relena sat next to him.
"Answer me, Heero," she said softly, "why did you save me?"
Heero whinced in pain.
"I did it because I didn't want him to kill you, if you are going to be killed, you will be killed by my hand only," he said coldly.
Relena smiled, "Liar."
"We're going back to our world tomorrow," Heero muttered, "but for safety purposes, they will erase our memory of being here."
"What? No!" Relena cried.
"What's wrong with that? I don't want to remember saving you," Heero said, his face impassive.
"Well, I do," Relena said.
Heero looked at her, annoyed.
"Go to sleep, you're annoying me!" He snarled.
Relena chuckled, and began to walk back to her bed, but turned around. "Oh, Heero? One more thing."
"What?" he asked.
"We aren't going to remember any of this, right?" She asked.
"Yeah, not one damn thing," he muttered.
She smiled, "Well, maybe I won't remember this, but I better enjoy it while it lasts."
She walked over to him, brushing his bangs out of his eyes. Heero looked at her, confused. She placed her hand on his cheek, looking at him.
"What are you doing?" He demanded, appalled.
She bent forward and kissed him. Emotions Heero never knew existed rushed through his body. Before he knew it, he was kissing her back. Suddenly, overwelmed, Heero pushed her away violently. "What the hell was that all about?!" He yelled. Relena chuckled, "I just wanted to thank you, for saving my life."
Heero scowled at her. Relena couldn't help but laugh. He liked it, she knew he did.
"You just don't want to ruin your reputation as a perfect soldier!" She giggled.
"No, that's not it. Relena, that was completely uncalled for!" Heero looked away.
"If you thought it was uncalled for, then why did you kiss me back?" Relena asked, smirking.
Heero turned a bright red and turned away from her, closing his eyes.
"I'll kill you for that," he whispered.
Relena laid down and closed her eyes, drifting off to sleep again. Heero laid there, awake. His stomach burned and throbbed from the bullet wound.
"Why did I save her?" He asked himself softly, "and when she kissed me, why did I actually like it...?"
He looked over at a sleeping Relena. He rolled over on his side, closing his eyes. Oh well, I won't remember any of this, and neither will she. Once we get back, I'll kill her, he thought. Drifting off to sleep....
The next day...
"Thank you again for your help," Goku said, smiling, then turned to Heero.
"I apologize for not having anymore senzu beans to heal your wounds," he said.
Heero said nothing, suddenly, he felt something wash over his mind, next thing he knew, he was in his room again.
"Huh? What happened?" He wondered. He looked around, confused. He whinced in pain. He lifted his shirt, gasping when he saw his bandaged stomach.
"What happened to me?" He whispered. he shrugged it off, and walked to his computer.
"I'll just hack into some OZ military bases, and destroy them with Wing Zero," he said to himself, "and finish off Relena."
"Here, I hope this cheers you up a little," Chi Chi placed a cup of hot cocoa in front of the five Gundam Pilots, including Relena.
"I don't think anything can cheer me up at this point," Duo whispered.
