Meeting His Destiny
Chapter 9
Heero fell off his bed as a result of his horrific screaming, tossing the crystal to the floor. What is going on here?" the man screamed wildly as he stumbled to his feet. "This is all a stupid dream! What do you want from me?!" Heero screamed angrily at the gorgeous jewel. It twinkled in a sadistic response to his incessant hollering. Without caring who he woke, the man continued to shout and scream until his voice became hoarse. "But how…" Heero whimpered in a quiet voice. All because of a stupid dream, everything he knew, how he thought, and what he felt had been turned upside down. He felt so hopeless…for once in his life he felt. "Why do I have to feel like this? What are you trying to show me?"
"Life, Heero, life." Heero froze. Who had said that? But no one was there…he was alone, but at the same time, he was haunted by the one thing he wanted most in life…the one thing he needed. Her.
*~*~*
"I think I'll call her today," Duo said dreamily. Trowa smirked.
"It hasn't even been a day since you saw her, it was last night for God's sake Duo!"
"Are you serious?!" the American exclaimed in complete surprise. He had thought and felt it to be an eternity.
"Let's do this," Quatre said coming up with a compromise. "How about me invite each of them to come over today and have a little get together. Casual but fun."
"That sounds perfect."
"Yup, this is going to be good!" Duo said with a smile as he rubbed his hands together mischievously.
"What are you planning in that sick mind of yours o braided one?" Trowa snorted. Duo shrugged with a beaming smile. Trowa and Quatre shook their heads.
//Silly baka…// Quatre thought with a tiny smile.
*~*~*
Relena woke up a bit late that morning; after all, she'd partied all night just as everyone else and was still quite tired. She woke up thinking about one thing, one person. Heero. But of course what a surprise. She'd felt so disappointed. She was so envious of her three cousins who'd scored with Duo, Trowa, and Quatre. It wasn't fair. She was the Princess…why couldn't Heero be a nice little boy and be her Prince. //Because life isn't that simple idiot,// a voice in her mind snapped.
"I didn't ask for your opinion," Relena said out loud absent-mindedly.
"You all right, Miss Peacecraft?" Noin said coming into her office. Relena spun around a bit surprised.
"Noin, why are you still here?"
"I fell asleep after the party and one of the servants told me that it was okay if I spent the night. You don't mind do you?" Noin replied yawning. Relena shook her head. "You look disappointed."
"No," Relena replied uncertainly.
"Hey now, don't lie to me. I know what happened…it's Heero isn't it? He didn't cooperate with your brilliant plan did he?" Noin answered a bit coyly. Relena nodded slowly, as she heard her own plot being destroyed by word of mouth.
"I don't know what I did wrong."
"Nothing, he just isn't the one for you Relena. You'll come to see that soon I promise. And hey, maybe it's all for the best," the woman behind her suggested. Relena nodded solemnly as she gazed out her window at the beautiful mid day sun.
*~*~*
Heero continued to sit on his floor, examining the crystal with a strange reflection. How could any of this be real? Was it that he feared it so much that he denied reality? Had he lost his mind? Or was there really something to all of this. He would only find out in his dreams…but something wasn't right. Every time he dreamt, he felt so at peace with her…he loved her. His heart told him that constantly though his mind denied it and even believed it to be ridiculous. He was in love with a dream, his mind reminded him daily. But his heart sang out with a peaceful rhythm, which would tell him to follow his heart. Just as she had told him herself.
He told her he loved her. He had told her…and he knew it to be true. He loved the woman in his dream, he loved Destiny. With all his heart, he loved the mystical girl named Destiny\ And with each passing moment as he gazed at the crystal, he wished her more to be real. Just at that second, a great realization hit him. Destiny had told him that to gaze into the Star's Eye, that it would show him what his heart wanted most. And there he sat staring at it and all he could think about was her. So that proved it…he was in love with her and that was all that mattered.
*~*~*
----Later That Night----
The boys had tried earlier to contact the three ladies from the last evening, but all they received were answering machines. Obviously the three had gone out, so the boys left messages asking them to call back whenever they got the chance. And just that evening, each was blessed with a phone call of his beloved. Duo, had anxiously awaited her answer.
"Hello, Duo here," The braided boy said answering his cell.
"Duo?" a cute voice asked.
"Corinne? Corinne! I mean hey, how are you?" Duo replied happily. He was ecstatic at just the sound of her voice.
"I got your message, sorry we were out. I wanted to tell you, I had a really lovely time last night. And like you said, I too would like to see you again, and soon. Can we reschedule that little get-together at your estate to sometime with in the next few days?"
Duo was almost awe struck and dazed out, just listening to her voice, "Oh, uh yes! Of course, I wouldn't have it anyother way. Come over with Aya and Sapphera this coming Tuesday. I'm sure it would be fine with the others."
"That's wonderful. Well, until then Duo,"Corinne replied in a sultry voice.
"Until then," he replied with a smile as they hung up. As he placed the phone down on the receiver, he began to sing, though a poor rendition of whatever he was singing, Duo was none-the-less chanting a song.
"Man! Shut up!" Wufei hissed throwing a pillow at the American.
"Do you have a problem Wu-Man? Is that ponytail of yours tied too tight?" Duo teased.
"Do not call me that. You're are just as pathetic and simply minded as that dumb broad you picked up the other night." Duo's joking mood turned to sheer outrage as he approached the Chinese man with a death glare.
"Don't you ever talk about her like that again! Take it back…or die," he replied with an evil smile.
"Face it, the both of you are weak."
"What does being weak have to do with anything?!" Quatre exclaimed wildly. "Do you realize how completely ridiculous and insane you sound with all of your 'injustice and weak' crap?!"
"I am just a realist," Wufei answered simply.
"You are idiotic, and uncompassionate. No wonder Sally will never look at you the way you do at her. Because you are such an insensitive jerk without a personality!" Quatre shouted.
Wufei suddenly looked at him in surprise, for Quatre never insulted anyone like that. He was good hearted and kind but now he had invaded his territory. "I don't know what you're talking about. Sally is a mere, weak woman."
"And you, with that mentality, will be a lonely fool for the rest of your life," Duo finished. He drew back his arm and punched him straight across the face. "If I ever hear you disrespecting Corinne or her cousins again, I will personally kill you." Duo brushed his hands together with a smile and stalked off. Quatre shook his head and Trowa merely stood completely off in another world as Wufei got up from the floor and left the room.
"Why was Wufei on the floor?" Trowa said coming back to reality. Quatre sighed heavily and shook his head.
