The Dragon Chapter 4: The Dragon's Lady
A hail of bullets tore through window striking plates and the walls. The pilots reacted quickly. Grabbing the girls and pulling them to the floor. Then an explosion rocked the house. The wall adjacent to the shattered window was now gone, torn away by whatever had been fired. The pilots all rolled into positions with cover pulling their guns out.
Talos didn't look for cover. Instead he dashed out the hole in the wall, unsheathing the menacing sword from the sling that dangled below to his knees. This awed everyone. They all thought he was crazy, running out to fight against who knows what kind of forces arrayed against him. They had momentarily forgotten what had happened the day before. They heard sporadic bangs. A couple screams. Then the silence of death took over.
Talos walked in through the torn wall. Everyone stared slack jawed at the sight of him. Talos's shirt was ripped with a cut through it, the jacket was still in good shape, his pants had a few holes and cuts in them. But what caught all their attention was the sword held in his hand. Blood dripped from the sword. It was almost completely drenched in blood. The blood darkened the blade's normal green hue making it look like it had a life of its own.
He turned to Millardo and Heero, "There were 20 of them. All Shadow Fighters. They are now all dead."
All the girls were shocked at this. Relena couldn't believe it. Her bodyguard had just killed 20 men. It was horrible. They weren't even killed by a gun, they had all been chopped up or skewered by his sword.
Relena angrily yelled at Talos, "How can you. You deem yourself a soldier, but you kill people with such a barbaric method….."
Talos turned to look at her. What she saw worried her. The look that was in his eyes were of a haunted soul, one that had been bathed in war. A soul which had crossed into Hell and had come back a changed man. 'Maybe he is even worse off than Heero' Relena thought to herself.
"Don't speak of things you don't know of." Talos coldly stated.
Suddenly a device on his belt beeped. He grabbed it out putting it to his ear. He spoke to it and it spoke back. 'Must be a cell phone' Duo thought 'Very cool one though'
Talos concluded his call and turned toward Relena, "Would you like to remain here?"
Relena looked at the carnage that was her dining room, "No."
Quatre spoke up, "You all can come to one of my mansions….."
Talos spoke out loud, "Affirmed. We head to Mr. Winner's place."
Relena concerned about the servants, had everyone go over the house checking if there were any injured people. Fortunately there weren't. They all went to their rooms and packed, then they piled into Relena's limo heading for a nearby private airport.
~6 hours later~
They arrived at Quatres secluded mansion with no hitches. It was in the middle of the mountains somewhere, sheltered by cliffs. A perfect fortress. As they all walked into the house, Talos's phone rang again. The conversation was brief and curt.
When he was done he turned to Relena, "I'm requesting my men to bring some gear only, no personnel, only my girlfriend. Is that alright? I kinda miss her already."
Relena saw no problem with that and looked at her brother and Quatre for approval. They both nodded.
"That's quite alright, go ahead."
It was almost 5, all the boys wanted to swim. The girls wanted to sunbathe. Everyone went to their rooms to change. They all went out to Quatres football sized pool. When Relena came out, Heero stood mesmerized.
Duo noticed this and couldn't resist, "Hey Heero, whatcha looking at? Anything that might interest you?"
Heero blushed slightly and pulled out his gun and pointed it Duo. Duo, wanting to live a bit longer than 22, walked away. From the corner of Heero's eye he could see Relena smiling. His throat constricted 'Not good' He thought she looked damn hot. She wore a one-piece blue bathing suit, which was so tight that it left nothing to imagination. Talos walked out next. All the girls looked at him, staring and drooling. Relena thought 'He's even more gorgeous without his clothes on. Seeing Heero stare at Relena, Talos smirked.
He went up to Relena and said, "My, Relena, you look absolutely stunning."
Relena smiled and said thank you. Talos leaned in and whispered something. Heero frowned at this. He did not like the way she reacted to his words. He saw the wicked look that passed through her eyes. Whereas Heero worried, Relena was the opposite. She was ecstatic. All the boys were complimenting her and trying not to look, since most had girlfriends. The girls were all crowing at what she was trying to accomplish by wearing 'that'
She blushed remembering what Talos had whispered. He pointed out that Heero was staring at her Very intently, just like now. He also said he bet she was driving him up the wall by wearing that. He had stated 'Sheila does this to me all the time, it's a very effective torture technique.'
A low wooshing sound snapped her out of her thoughts. That must be Sheila. She looked at Talos. He looked absolutely gorgeous in those trunks, but his attention was only on the hovering gunship. It was huge. It bristled with weapons and was painted all black. 'Stealth operations' Heero thought. As the gunship landed on the nearby pad, Talos had sprinted to the pad. The door opened and a huge barrel-chested man got out.
Everyone had gathered by the chopper anxious to see who had captured the Dragon's heart. The man saluted and a 2 forklifts carried out 2 enormous boxes which were plain huge. Next followed three more boxes, which were meager in size compared to the first 2. Then she stepped out. All the boys' jaws dropped. All the girls turned to see their boyfriends oogling the girl and smacked them all. Hard. She looked around her surroundings and saw Talos. She threw herself at him. They both hugged. After awhile they both got the idea that this was public, and just kissed and broke apart. Relena could tell there was a difference in Talos's attitude. He seemed positively glowing and he was grinning. She turned to look at Sheila, and she had to give the pilots credit. Sheila was short compared to Talos, standing around 5 feet 10 inches. She was a picture of a goddess. She had long blond hair, which came to her waist. Her face was that of a supermodel. It was shaped so perfectly that it captivated all the pilots' attention. Even Millardo couldn't help it. He was always loyal to Noin, but jeez this was insane. Her figure was proportioned just perfectly. She wore a form-hugging blue shirt, which just enhanced the swell of her perfectly sized breasts, and the jeans were very tight, showing her perfect, long legs.
Talos spoke first, "Everyone this is Sheila."
Sheila spoke softly, as if she was shy, "Hello."
Her voice was even insanely perfect. Sounding like chimes, they captivated all the pilots' attention. The girls saw this and knowing it was not Sheila's fault they started to think. Each thought slightly different but all along the same line 'They would have to do something in bed later tonight to regain the pilots' attention'
Everyone introduced themselves. Everyone greeted her pleasantly. Quatre with a kiss to the back of her hand and some compliments. Trowa with a simple hi. Wufei with a bow. Duo with a hearty smile and some very naughty comments. Hilde just smacked him. The girls with a simple hi. Talos introduced them all. When they got to Heero. She practically mauled him. Throwing her arms around him and hugging him. Heero couldn't help but smile.
"Hi, Sheila." He said, losing the monotone of his.
"Heero! Wow you changed a lot, but you are still as hot as before."
Heero blushed at this, and averted his eyes. A servant came out yelling it was dinner time. The bear-sized man nodded to Talos and got back into the chopper. The chopper lifted off and left. Quarter said he would get some of the servants to move the material. They all headed to the dining room in their significant other's arms, if they had one. They sat down.
Relena curious, asked, "Sheila, what line of work are you in?"
Sheila replied, "I work as a vice-president for a major shuttle company."
This surprised Relena. She had expected something else, like modeling.
Sheila turned toward Heero, "Heero, it's been so long. Where's the girl you mentioned in your last e-mail?"
Heero turned a death glare at Talos, "The message was confidential, how did she find out?"
Talos looked at Sheila. She was smiling. Then to Heero who was glaring at him. 'Oh Boy'
"Um…." He nervously started.
"Well?"
"You see….When you first started e-mailing me I didn't mention it to Sheila. But it accidentally slipped out one night while we were in bed. Sheila asked if you had contacted me or not in the past few years. I slipped up." Talos was fidgeting and looking very uncomfortable.
"So? You do password your e-mail, don't you?" Heero asked
"I do, but Sheila kind of tortured me into telling her." Talos was blushing fiercely now.
"Sheila can't torture you, you're invincible…." He trailed off, he understood, "Never mind."
"I couldn't hold out. I held out for ten minutes and I succumbed you can say."
Now Talos was beet red. Sheila just put her arms around him and kissed him, smiling at Heero innocently.
She turned to the others, and said, "He's invincible, but not unbreakable."
All the others knew what she meant.
After they finished eating they decided to play poker, with everyone paired up. Duo with Hilde, Quatre with Dorothy, Millardo with Noin, Talos with Sheila, Wufei with Sally, Heero with Relena, and Trowa with Catherine.
Heero, Trowa, and Talos had been losing quite badly because their partners just couldn't keep a straight face.
Heero decided to turn the tables and said to Relena, "Sit on my lap with your face turned to me."
She obediently did so, straddling his waist. Everyone stared wide-eyed by this. Heero thought 'Now they can't see her face' Talos picked up the idea and did the same thing.
Duo sputtered, "Hey guys, no sex allowed."
Relena turned bright red at that. She felt ecstatic. She was sitting in Heero's lap. She decided to play with Heero, since his attention was solely on the poker game. She began to shift around a bit, nudging her ass into Heero's groin. This made Heero look at her. She looked back innocently. Not wanting to lose the round, he decided that she was just trying to get comfortable.
Relena smiled at herself. She continued to rub herself into Heero. Heero was beginning to fidget. 'Good' she thought.
A little distance away, Sheila was doing something else. Instead of wrapping her arms around Talos's neck, she only had one arm around his neck. The other was in his pants. Talos had to bit his lip every now to stop from groaning out loud. 'God that feels good' he thought.
Relena on the other hand was moving in small circles on Heero's lap. Heero trying to concentrate, was beginning to get very annoyed. To his horror, he could feel himself becoming aroused. He paled at the thought of Relena feeling his hard-on. He had to do something, and Fast.
He grabbed Relena and set her down, "I gotta go to the bathroom."
He bounded up the stairs to the nearest washroom. His heart was pounding. 'Shit, I knew I should have stuck with the jeans, but that stupid Duo had to get them wet.' He sat there thinking, and trying to calm himself. Meanwhile, Duo had edged himself to Relena.
"Hey, Relena, did you feel anything under you?" Duo asked her teasingly.
Relena blushed, "I don't know what you mean Duo."
"Oh come on, everyone could see what you were trying to do." He said this out loud, and everyone chimed in saying their agreement. Millardo, seeing that is was almost 1 in the morning, told them all to go to bed. Heero came out that point, and Talos came up with an idea.
"Heero, I know I said I'd watch Relena tonight, but um… I'd like to spend some quality time with Sheila. So can you watch her?"
Heero knew this was a set up but he couldn't back out. Relena was looking at him with those damned puppy eyes. He just nodded his defeat. Talos grinned evilly and lifted Sheila into a fireman's carry and dashed into their room. Heero followed Relena into her room. Shutting the door, he heard a rustle of clothing. 'Shit' he thought.
