Fallen Angels

Standard disclaimers apply.
This is kind of an alternate universe fan fiction about Heero and Relena. They are all fallen angels that are from the Sky Kingdom who were banished to Earth for defying the laws. Their forbidden love still lives on and they unconsciously search for one another on Earth, neither knowing the others identity, their memories erased, only the need for the other. They forget everything about their lives and also of their wings. Being taken pity on by a powerful fairy, she proclaims that when they find each other and know their soul bond, they will regain their wings and their memories. They will be able to return to the Sky Kingdom once again and their love will be pure.
The angels of the Sky Kingdom have no connection to divinity though they have wings. The Arch Angels are born into the ranks if their wings are black and are disallowed to have any affection towards anyone. They are the warriors of the Sky Kingdom. The ones with pure white wings are the Angels of Peace. These two different classifications of angels are forbidden to converse with the other because of the difference in their purposes. These couples defy this law and fall in love with each other. In the end, this shows that there really isn't a difference as long as there is love.
Prologue: The Parting of the Souls
"Heero!" cried a voice from behind him. He turned to see Relena flying towards him on her beautiful, shining white wings. She landed in front of him and they met with a tender hug and kiss. "Oh Relena… I can't believe this isn't destined to be. This is just too… right. Too perfect." She murmured her agreement and they pulled apart to stare into each other eyes. Her honey-blond hair blew gently in the wind and her cornflower blue eyes met his own Prussian blue ones which were hidden under his unruly mahogany brown hair. They sat down together on one of the pearly white clouds of serenity to peer down at the Earth below the Sky Kingdom, a forbidden place for all angels of the sky kingdom to go.
"Oh Heero… if only you weren't born an Arch Angel… then we could have shared this without worrying about being caught." Heero looked at his own ebony black wings. "It doesn't matter Relena. I love you. I always will. I can't deny it even though I have been born into the ranks of the Arch Angels and forbidden to love or show affection to any being." Relena smiled and laid her head on Heero's shoulder lightly. "I'm glad. There's been arguing about such things yet the leader of the Peace Angels is still adamant that we are never to converse with the other classification."
Heero slid his arm around Relena's waist. "I would do anything to be able to be with you Relena… never doubt that." he lifted her chin and covered her lips with his own. When they broke apart, Relena sighed happily. "I wish this would never end Heero. I wish we could stay like this forever and that time would stand still just for the two of us." Heero laughed. "And of course, then the Head Arch Angel would wonder and look through the Great Clock of Time to see what's wrong." Relena pouted slightly. "Oh well. We can still dream while we're together."
They looked down again at the world below. "I wonder what happens down there. How would they get around as quickly without wings?" wondered Relena. "They walk. Or they have machines that move and they ride in them." Relena blinked. "Well, I suppose that would help… still, I feel pity towards those who don't have to beauty that we are surrounded by." Heero nodded. "But don't forget, they are free to love who they wish… unlike us who are forbidden." Relena sighed dreamily. "They must lead wonderful lives to love whomever they wish without the threat of banishment." Heero tilted her head up so that she could look full into his face. "Not as wonderful as mine. I love the most beautiful, the most wonderful angel of all the Sky Kingdom." Relena smiled. "And I have the most handsome, and the strongest of all the Arch Angels."
There was the sound of a loud clear bell that shattered the surrounding serenity. "I must leave." Said Relena reluctantly. "The Peace Angel leader is calling." Spreading her wings, she beat them several times before soaring off. Heero watched her fly off into the distance before turning away and smiling softly. "We'll see each other again Relena." He said softly before unfurling his own wings and flying off into the opposite distance. When he got to the Arch Angel Palace, he saw one of his fellow warriors. "Wufei!" he called over. The black-haired, black-eyed Arch Angel looked up. When he saw him, Wufei's face broke into a small smile. "Heero!" Seeing his friend's happy expression he frowned slightly. "You've been seeing Relena again haven't you?" he asked solemnly. With Heero's slight nod, he sighed. "Me and the others are worried about you… we would never betray you… but if you are found out…"
Heero smiled himself thinking of his honey-blond angel of peace. Wufei looked at the dreamy expression on Heero's face and laughed softly. "So this is how love is like. Able to snare even one of the toughest Arch Angels in its widespread nets." Heero snapped out of it quickly. "Hmm?" Wufei shook his head. Heero smiled slightly in response.
They continued towards the sleeping quarters and met up with Quatre, Trowa, and Duo and they walked together in companionable silence since the blazing sun had longs since set and the night had arrived. They all went their separate ways and all of them were soon asleep, Heero dreaming of his love in the other part of the Sky Kingdom.
In the Peace Angel quarters, there was a similar discussion going on in hushed tones among Relena and her friends, Hilde, Dorothy, Sally, and Catherine. "I wouldn't do anything to harm Heero." Said Relena softly thinking of her love's beautiful blue eyes. Catherine smiled at Relena. "I didn't expect that you would want anything wrong to happen to him. None of us would ever betray you. I can believe that above all else." The other girls nodded solemnly. Relena stepped forward. "We still keep this a secret. Maybe one day, Arch Angels and Peace Angels will come together… but for now, we don't have enough power to pay the horrible price."
The girls nodded solemnly as the last of the candles flickered before dying and the Peace Angels left to go back to their own private rooms. The Sky Kingdom was nothing like the Earth they had learned about. The Angels had beautiful rooms with no ceiling so that they could simply look up at the night sky above them while falling asleep. The meetings between the guilty angels continued on for a while until finally… disaster struck. It was the work of four different angels who each loved one of the guilty angels. One of the Arch Angels, Ririka, a red haired woman with green eyes loved Heero, A young Peace Angel named Ikiru who had dark black, almost blue hair and his eyes were a blue darker than Heero's had fallen in love with Relena. The other two, one male and the other female. The female Peace Angel, who was named Zoii, had light blue hair and pale green eyes. The male had light violet hair and blue eyes; his name was Kuwano, an Arch Angel. Zoii secretly was in love with Ikiru and Kuwano was in love with Ririka. These two angels would do anything to get the attention of Ririka and Ikiru.
It was Ririka and Ikiru who had followed their separate Angel and come to find out that they loved another. With the rage of revenge burning deep in their hearts as they saw the couple secretly meet and show their affection to each other, the spying Angels decided to make them all pay. With the simultaneous beat of their wings as each left the field where they had discovered the truth, the sky darkened as if in apprehension of what would happen. They were all discovered and were brought before all the Angels of the Sky Kingdom to be brought to scorn in front of the leaders of both the Peace Angels and the Arch Angels.
Relena felt herself be ripped away from Heero's strong arms and she gasped loudly as she recognized the face of the Leaders of both the Peace and Arch Angels. Torn away from each other, they were dragged in total disgrace through the clouds that provided little comfort to their shame. Brought to the High Court, they were shoved into the center of the large 'room' since it wasn't exactly a room but one where the accused were magically disallowed to fly. "You have disobeyed the laws of this very kingdom in your foolish attempts at seeing each other. Your punishment still stands. You will be banished from the Sky Kingdom and never to see the other again."
Relena felt her heart skip a beat. "No!" she cried as she was dragged away from the High Court and all her pleading did nothing to soften the stern looks that were aimed directly at her. "Heero!" she cried, tears falling from her face and disappearing in the clouds below her. "Heero!" she cried again as the doors slammed behind the guards and the other Peace Angels. "Relena! No, Relena!" yelled Heero, pounding the misty floor that he was kneeling on, taking out his frustration and bitter heartbreak on the clouds beneath him. His eyes sparkled with unshed tears at the sight of the doors slamming shut as if to shut away the young woman that he loved. "No!" he yelled as he attempted to break free of the restraining hands that held him. "Relena!" One of the more kind Great Faiirees admired their strength and will to go to the one that they loved above all else. "Stop." She commanded standing up and surprising even the Leaders of the Angels. "They have disobeyed the law… but it was in the name of love. Though they have attempted to deceive us, we can still be kind towards them as the people of the Sky Kingdom are rendered to being."
Seeing the glimmer of hope in the Angel's eyes below her, she continued her voice strong. "The punishment for banishment still stands… but we can give them a chance. When we send them to Earth because of their forbidden love, why can't we let them return because of it? Let us make this a test. They will be wiped of all memories of the Sky Kingdom and if they can find each other and re-discover their soul-bond, we can do nothing but accept that it would prove love shall conquer all." The Leaders looked sharply at the Faiiree but they nodded their heads in acceptance. "Bring the Peace Angels back in."
The guilty Peace Angels with the white wings were flung back in through the doors and landed roughly on the misty floor. The Arch Angel rushed over to hold his beloved. Relena could feel the tears slide down her face as she hugged Heero tightly. "Relena…" he breathed into her hair. "We might have a chance after all. We'll have to go through a test, but I love you Relena… don't ever doubt that of me, no matter what happens." He whispered into her ear and her tears slowed slightly.
Ririka was the first to complain. "It's not fair! They have gone against the law that you have given us! You would be proclaiming that with these violations, these guilty ones are to be simply allowed back into the Sky Kingdom if they complete a simple test?" The Great Faiiree shot her a stern look. "Very well. Then we shall make this harder. Are you willing to make this task more difficult?" Ririki nodded and several others, (AN: Three others to be exact, guess who they are.) stood up and volunteered as well.
It was then that the Leaders stepped down and each went to their particular category of Angel. Placing their hands on the wings, there was a sudden glowing that erupted from their hands. The two angels screamed with pain, a horrible scream filled with the horror of being separated from a part of themselves. The wings disappeared into nothing but feathers floating in the air and the ten angels lay on the misty floor gasping for air, their eyes glazed with pain. Relena looked up as one of her last floating feathers blew in the same direction of one of Heero's black ones. They fluttered downwards in a spinning cycle in circles around each other before falling to the floor around them scattered along with the other feathers that littered the ground.
She looked at them all and saw that they were without wings, much like the other humans from Earth. "Heero…" she whispered as she overcame the pain. "Heero, now we are no longer different because of the colors of our wings…" she said as she touched his shoulder-blades where the majestic wings had once been. Heero held her in his arms one last time before they were torn apart crying for each other and were thrown down through the openings in the clouds that had been magically made. They plummeted to Earth calling each the other's name. In their hands, they both grasped a single feather from their soul-mates wings. They would be given their wings back when they returned the feathers to their rightful owners as a sign of recognizing the soul-bond between them.
The Great Faiiree eyed the four other angels that had come together to watch the fallen angels plummet to Earth and she saw a mixture of glee and determination. She shivered in spite of herself. Those eyes were not the eyes of the beautiful Sky Kingdom Angels… they were the eyes of… the demons of the darkest pit of Tartarus. "Dear Artemis, Goddess of the Moon and Apollo, God of the Sun… watch over these fallen angels. They belong together." She whispered and the air rustled as the very spirits of the sleeping Gods were awakened unbeknownst to any of the Angels.
