Relena walked slowly around the corner of the park.
The view she had just seen broke her heart. How
could her have done this to her? But now she knew,
that all this time, he truly didn't love her. She knew
her visit here to meet him was nothing. She wiped the
tear that she tried to keep inside. She found it harder
to cry these days. Has she gotten stronger? After all
the wars, she promise herself to cry less, or maybe not
as all. Heero had to go and changed that.

About an hour ago she had reach Quatre's
mansion. He invited her in and let her choose a
room to stay in. She and the other gundam pilot's
talked for quite some time, but she sensed something.
As if they were hiding something from her.

She decided to go for a walk, thinking that
when she came back that Heero would be there. She
didn't have to. Who was this girl her was hugging? She
kept asking herself these questions until she heard
footsteps approach her. She turned around, and sees
Heero. He walks over to her. His eyes were pleading
to her.

"We need to talk..." he said flatly.


---------------------------------------------------------

The two sat next to each other on a bench.
Neither of them saying a word. Relena sat with her
hands in her lap looking straight ahead, on her face
showed no emotion. Heero was looking down at the
ground, catching a glimpse of her once in a while.

"This is getting us nowhere. I'm sorry that I haven't
told you before. I didn't know she'd still looks for me."
He looked up at Relena to see if she registered the words
in her mind, but showed no answer. She stayed as she
was. He continued. "Her name is Hikari. There was
a time when I was in battle and got severely injured.
She took care of me for a month. I don't know
how I felt, but it was foreign to me." He eyes still on
Relena, this time seeing her look down on the ground,
but her gaze came back up and she continued look
straight ahead of her. "Then soon after that, I had a
mission to protect her. She was the daughter of someone
Dr. J respected. And I did, we grew fond of each other.
Two months afterwards, I left to fight, and that's when I
met you. She looked all over for me, when I found her,
she fainted so I brought her back to the mansion. What
are you doing here?"

'To visit you, Heero.' she thought. "I had a meeting here,
and so I visited Quatre and the others. I'm staying there
for a few days"

'You're staying with me.' he thought. "Relena, say something."
She looks over to him.

"What do you want me to say? I still can't believe this.
I don't understand, if you have met her before, why have
you been so cold. Didn't she break your barrier? I don't
understand, Heero. You're still such a great mystery to
me! One minute you seem to be heartless, than the
next you're holding my hand, then it continues! Than
I see you with her. It confuses me so." She jumped out
of her seat. Looking furiously down at Heero. His eyes
soften at her anger. He pulls his hand out forward and
grasp hers. He pulls her down back to the bench. She
returned to her seat, her eyes still showed anger.

"Relena..." he whispers as he moves closer to her.
Before he reached the distance, Relena was about to ask
him two questions that he was afraid to answer.

"Do you love me?" she acquired. There was a long pause
before the answer.

"Yes," He had hoped this would satisfy her. Was he wrong.

"And do you love her? Hikari." he froze, what was he going to
answer? He closed his eyes. Hoping that she would pass the
question.

"That's what I thought." she said as she stood up. She began
to walk away. He jumped out of his seat and ran up to her,
stopping her.

"I don't know what to say, but I love you both. I can't
change that. It's killing me. If you walk out on me, I'll
die, Relena..." she turns around and looked at his.
"I feel so strongly about you two. I still don't know. I do
know that I love her. But I love you too. I need time
to figure this out."

"Time. That's the only thing you need. And that's the only
thing I can give you right now. There was so much other things
too Heero. But they're gone. And it will take time for you and me
to regain them. You have until six days. That's when I'll
be leaving. It's all up to you now. Use it wisely, for you won't have
a second chance." She looks up at the cheery blossoms. And
smiled as she picked one. "It's beautiful isn't it?" she begins to walk
away. After a couple of steps she turns around and looks back at
Heero. She smiles. She raise the flower and let it fly with the wind.
It flew right into Heero's hand. He grasp it. "Before I go, I want to
tell you, whether if you choose me or not. Just as long
as you're happy, I am..." she smiles again as she walked off and
left a dazed Heero standing there.

'She's changed...'
