Meeting His Destiny



Chapter 13

Relena paced back and forth in her bedroom thinking to herself quietly. But within moments that changed as she began to lecture and yell at herself. "No...not fair...shut up...ugh!" she shouted. "I don't think that what I did was too brazen...I just told him how I felt in ten words or less. BUT! Not completely! Just that I-oh what's the use...I'm losing him." It was only 8 o'clock that morning and usually the girl slept more, but today she couldn't stop thinking.

"How can you lose what you never had?" a sinister voice remarked from behind. Relena found Dorothy leaning against the door frame with a dark and devious smile plastered on her face.

"Excuse me? And why are you in my house?"

"Nothing...good bye your Majesty," Dorothy replied sarcastically and left.

//What a snotty woman! She was listening...how dare she and-oh my god. She's right. How CAN I lose what I never had??//

*~*~*

Duo woke up to find Corinne sleeping beside him in the living room. The new day's sunlight streamed in through the large windows of the room and cast a golden gleam on the beautiful woman beside him. //We must've fallen asleep watching that movie last night...// the American thought standing up from the couch carefully so he wouldn't wake her. Gently placing a blanket over her, Duo smiled, admiring her. //How many guys get to wake up in the morning to find an angel sleeping next to him?// It took the man a few minutes to realize they were not the only occupants of the room. Quatre, Aya, Trowa, and Sapphera were sleeping on the other chairs and couches near them. The braided boy laughed quietly and placed his hands on his hips and smirked. //Looks like it happened to them too.//

"Duo?" a quiet voice asked from behind. He spun around to find a now awake Corinne rubbing her eyes.

"Hi," he replied sitting back down beside her.

"Hi," she said smiling with a tiny giggle. "Ohh...I missed the end of the movie!" she pouted half smiling.

"I think we all did," he laughed pointing to the others. Corinne shook her head and laid back down. Her eyes glowed in the sunlight and her hair was on fire. She was so gorgeous that Duo almost was blinded by her. It was insane, it was manaical, it was absolutely perfect.

"What time is it?" she asked in a tired voice. Duo shrugged and took her hand.

"How about we look for some food around this joint?" he said with a gangster-like voice. Corinne shot him a sarcastic glare and followed him to the kitchen laughing quietly.

*~*~*

The others were meanwhile just beginning to wake up. Aya's head rested comfortably on Quatre's chest on the other couch. He was so warm, so kind, everything that life was meant to be he was. Her eyes blinked open slowly and she found herself looking the man in the eyes.

"Good morning," he smiled.

"You were up already, why didn't you wake me?" Aya replied.

"I didn't want to...besides, I was watching you sleep. You're gorgeous you know that?" he said gazing into her huge crystal blue eyes.

"I...thank you," she replied a bit embarassed. Quatre put his arms around her and sighed. "I don't feel like getting up right now, do you?" Quatre shook his head and pulled the blanket back over the two of them. Quietly, they fell back asleep to the sound of each others heart beat.

*~*~*

On the large, warm arm chair beside them, Trowa and Sapphera were curled up with one another. It was nice and quiet in the living room where they were, so quiet in fact they are almost unaware of the pair beside them. Trowa, as had the others, woke first and smiled at seeing the girl curled up in his arms. Her head rested happily against his arm and he was careful not to shift so he would as not to wake her. Her long sapphire hair covered her body like a gleaming blanket. The name fit with her features. Sapphera. //Ironic.// Trowa smiled and his inner thoughts dared him to stroke the waterfall of hair. His desires got the better of him as his hand gently ran through it. Sapphera murmured quietly.

"Good morning," she smiled. Trowa was almost embarrassed.

"G-Good morning," he answered blinking.

"You like my hair?" she said noticing his hand still placed in it. Trowa ripped his hand away but caused a tiny knot and got stuck. "Huh...that's never happened to me before. I don't think anyone has ever gotten caught in my hair!" she laughed histerically. Trowa turned a bit red and could do nothing but laugh as well. Their laughing was suddenly interrupted by a tortured scream.

"NOOOOOO!" Duo and Corinne flew out of the kitchen with a surprised look and the other pair awoke with a start.

"That sounded like Heero!" Quatre exclaimed.

"Oh god," Duo whispered running upstairs with the other boys behind him.

"Wow, I hope he's okay..." Aya said quietly. Her relatives nodded in agreement and sat down beside her on the couch.

*~*~*

"No! No! This can't happen to me...it's not fair...it's not fair! NO!" Heero continued to scream desperately. That man had fallen off of his bed and to the ground where he sat rambling histerically. "It was real...it can't be just a dream...oh god please no!" The man had to know, know if it was really a dream. Everything he felt...the kiss, releasing his fears, returning to the living world. His only hope was to see the Star's Eye. If it was there where he left it, then he could figure things out. Heero raced to his drawer and unlocked it hurriedly. He ripped open the drawer to find it completely empty. An exasperated cry escaped his lips as he fell to the ground.

Suddenly his door was basically knocked down by the four forms who entered with worried looks. "Heero!" Duo shouted. "What happened to you?!" The American watched his friend as he sobbed and a single crystal slid down his reddened cheeks.

"It was a dream...just a dream..." he sobbed resting his head in his hands. "I felt it...she was real I felt her!" Heero shouted. The other boys looked on in awe and confusion. Heero was crying...the man who never expressed emotion was crying!

"Heero, listen to me! This has gone far enough! This whole dream crap, that girl, that crystal...it's insane! I am begging you Heero, no forget it! I am telling you to see someone! Better yet I'm taking you myself!" Duo exclaimed going to his side. The braided boy knelt beside him. "It's not real Heero, it was just a dream."

"No!" Heero shouted furously. He jumped up and prepared to punch Duo's lights out. Wufei and Trowa cut in and restrained him. But before they reached him, Heero saw the fear and surprise in Duo's bright violet eyes. He couldn't, and slowly he sunk to the ground in silence. "Duo, I showed you the crystal. You saw it with your own eyes remember?"

Duo nodded his head and knelt down again. "Yes I remember."

"What are you talking about? Stop crying you weakling!" Wufei shouted. Duo walked over to Wufei and swiftly smacked him across the head.

"SHUT UP FOR ONCE!" Duo roared.

"Duo, I put it in the drawer and locked it. Duo it's gone, you know where I put it. I hid it there and now its gone. I was the only one with the key," Heero persisted. "How can you say its just a dream when the Star's Eye was real?!"

"What is going on here?!" Trowa and Quatre shouted in confusion.

"I'll explain later. But first we're getting him to a doctor, and pronto!" Duo replied.

"I'm not going."

"No, sorry Heero but buddy you don't have a say in this. We'll take you there by force if necessary." Heero shot Duo an angry and betrayed glance. "I'm sorry I don't want to...but if you were me...what would you do?" Heero nodded at hearing this. "Are you coming?" Heero shook his head stubbornly. As if on cue, Trowa, Wufei, and Quatre all grabbed him and dragged him downstairs. The girls watched in astonishment as Heero was carried out the door shouting and carrying on.

"Duo! What's going on?!" Corinne exclaimed. Duo waved back to her with a smile that told her not to worry. "Come on girls let's go home. I think they need to have some time to themselves." The others agreed with her and followed her out of the house. Just as they walked out the door, the three women watched as Duo drove away while the other three restrained a shouting Heero in the back of their silver convertible. "I don't even want to know," Corinne said shaking her head as she watched them drive away.
