UnRaveling Secrets ~by Cosmic Maiden~
It has been 24 months since the Mariemeia incident. Everyone went back to
living their lives as Preventers. Relena,(as always) couldn't forget about
Heero. She had dreams, her dreams. Her future to spend the rest of her life with
him. Relena thought in her mind fat chance. "Just dreams." she repeated to
herself and sighed. Life as a school girl was long forgotten. Two years have
passed. Noin has an idea(finally!). With approval from Zechs and Relena, a
ballroom party will be held in the Sanq Kingdom. Relena was estatic with the
news. She could live one night's chance to loosen-up and have fun. Her hopes
weren't that high. Heero would always be Heero.
********
Heero rapidly typed into his laptop. The door opened. Too focused as he was,
Heero didn't bother looking up. Obviously Duo, no doubt. The way he opens the
door enthusiastically; how could you not notice? Duo came in balancing three
bags of groceries and some mail. Duo flipped through the mail eagerly, hoping
his new Playboy issue had arrived. The groceries sat there on the counter,
rejected. His eyes widened as he came across the Sanq Kingdom invitation. Duo
smirked slyly as plans bubbled in his boggling mind.
Heero trudged into the kitchen searching for nutrients.
"Maxwell better have bought coffee. If I don't get any I'm gonna crack." Heero
yawned out tiredly. Heero rumaged through the bags of food, finding
absolutely nothing that favored him. He spotted the invitation out of the corner
of his eye, too worn out to take a better look at it. Sleepily he walked toward
his bedroom and collapsed on his bed in a deep sleep.
Duo called Hilde. They discussed their devious plans over the vid-link. "This
is gonna be good." Duo replied as Hilde smirked.(hehehe ^.~)
Later that week.......
Duo and Hilde are revealing their plans to the others(except for Relena and
Heero. Relena being at the Sanq Kingdom and Heero out to buy strong coffee.).
"Well, what do ya think?" Duo asked. "Shouldn't fate decide their destiny, for
that matter, they control their own fate....but I don't see why not." Quatre
piped in, smirking. ".....okay." Trowa forwardly replied.
"Well, I always wanted to do something nice for Relena-sama, but in a devious
way. Count me in." Dorothy answered. Sally grinned. "Relena-sama does deserve a
love life. I'll do it." "Quit staring at me like that. I'm not part of an onna
plan. Messing with innocent lives..." Wufei muttered. "Who are ya calling
onna?!" Sally shouted. "Come one, Wu-man. We're not messing with their fireless
love-lives. Just giving them a shove towards romance." Duo said past the brink
of annoying. "As long as I don't have to act like a baka.." Wufei mumbled.
Catherine warmly smiled. "Now remember, they have no idea we're doing this."
Ballroom Dancing day.......
"Now everyone get ready," Duo frantically said, "if our plan fails it's Wufei's
fault." "Nani?! Shut up Maxwell. I'm not even doing anything." Wufei yelled.
"Still, you seem like the person to blame.." Duo sighed under his breath. "Come
on! Heero is here. Get a move on!" Hilde shouted. Everyone got in place. They
rushed so Heero and Relena would be alone. "We've got a problem." a tinge of
uncertainty in Dorothy's voice. "Where's Relena?!" "She was just there, coming
up the stairs." Catherine replied. Suddenly, they heard muffled screams for
about 10 seconds. "Oh my Kami..There she is being carried away toward the edge
of the woods by a dark figure." Hilde said in a worried tone. Milliardo and
Noin, still hosting the party, had not noticed our favorite main characters slip
out of sight.(How can they notice? Duo spiked the punch!hehehe ^.^)
Meanwhile, in the forest.......
Opening her eyes, lighted candles filled the room. Taking a survey of her
surroundings, she discovered her arm was tied to a bed post by a thick rope. A
deep, chilling voice startled her. "You're awake." "Let me go." she ordered
confidentally. A dark figure formed from the shadows. "I am Sirus, a minor
person in the Mariemeia scheme. Don't bother screaming for help. This room is
sound-proof. No cameras either. A private room. For only you and me," he
remarked evily. Relena glared with hateful eyes. "What do you want from me!"
Sirus moved in closer. "I want to rule the colonies and the earth, you by my
side as my queen, Zechs as a dead corpse." Relena shot back angrily at him,
"I'll never marry you!" and spit in his face and glasses. Sirus winced, "Is that
so?" as he cleaned his face and glasses. "I might as well make love to you now;
you're my wife tommorow." as he adjusted the glasses back on his face. He held
up her chin. Relena looked at him straight in the eye as she secretly searched
the desk drawer behind her. She searched the inside as Sirus locked the door and
edged closer to her. Relena's lips tightened as she felt the cold, metal, steel
gun. Wrapping his arms around her, closing in for the kiss, Relena carefully put
her arms around him, gun in hand. She put the gun at his head and pulled the
trigger hard as she could. BANG! Silence filled the room again. There sat Relena
beside a dead body she killed. "Fogive me, Father." Relena sighed sadly. Quickly
she untied the rope, took the gun, and quietly opened the door.
Meanwhile.....
All the g-pilots, exhausted from their interminable search, come back
empty-handed. "Kami," Duo prayed, "Send us a sign, puh-leaze!" Heero, more
furious than ever, began pulverizing a nearby tree. "Shimatta!" Duo jumped out
of Heero's way and fell on Quatre, who tripped on Trowa, who kept everybody
balanced by holding a low tree branch which revealed a secret passageway. Duo
looked up. "Arigatou, Kami." Then, he turned to Wufei. "It's still your fault."
"Shut up, baka!" Wufei replied, following the rest of the group down the tunnel.
The g-pilots entered in unoticed. No guards had interfered with them yet. They
saw one guard guarding the door behind him. They stopped abruptly to hear
anything on Relena's whereabouts. Watching closely, Relena emerged from behind
the door. She hit the guard in a pressure-point and with a quick sweep of her
feet, the guard lay there unconcious. Three more guards came from the room
across from her. In a flash, she pulled out a gun and shot the first two guards
down. "Kuso!" she cursed loudly. The g-pilots' eyes widened.(Even from Trowa
//.O) "The cheapskate only kept three bullets!" G-pilots, totally stunned at the
peace-maker's actions, stood there, speechless, mouth agape. The guard grabbed
her by her shoulders, Relena being short, used the advantage and kneed him right
where 'the sun don't shine'.
Relena took the empty gun and knocked the pained soldier upside the head with
it. Relena kept the gun and sprinted toward the end of the hallway. She turned
left where the g-pilots had come from. A hand slipped over her mouth and an arm
restrained her body. She elbowed the stranger and pointed her empty gun at him
as a threat. Heero fell to the floor. She tucked the gun back into a space in
her skirt. "Nice to see ya, Heero." Relena smiled innocently. "You came to save
me, ne?" They all nodded their heads. "Relena, I had no idea you knew how to
fight." Quatre said bluntly. Relena smiled wryly. "I learned some things the
past two years." "I didn't know an onna like you could take four guards."
muttered Wufei, slightly amazed. "You kicked ass! You showed no mercy! That was
awesome!" Duo shouted on the verge of oblivious. Trowa simply said, "Must hang
around us gundam pilots too much, ne?" Heero stood up. "Tell us everything on
our way out." She nodded and asked, "Do you guys mind blowing up this
underground base for me?*sweatdrop*" "Yeah, we'll do it. And we promise not to
tell you killed a disdained lover, knocked out four guards, used a gun all
during your three-hour kidnapping, and tightly wrapped in your brother's social
party."
Back at the party......
"You're okay?" Hilde asked, overjoyed at the sight of Relena still in one
piece. She smiled innocently, "I need some fresh air. I'm gonna go out-" "NO!"
everyone protested. "Take someone with you." Sally suggested. Hilde winked at
Duo, who smiled at the g-pilots, which led to another freaky chain reaction that
Heero and Relena never seem to pick up. "Heero will go with you." Dorothy piped
in as Quatre nidged her. "Very well." Relena said emotionlessly as Heero
followed her down the steps toward a park bench. They sit down in a park bench
that viewed the beautiful lake front. Relena looks across the moonlit lake.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Heero nods, "Like your aqua-marine eyes." She looks up
into his cobalt-blue eyes, "Really?" He looks back into azure pools of wide
hope, "Really." He turns away, still sitting beside her. "You chase after me,
then you fight men single-handedly. Why the change?" Relena let out a long, sad
sigh. "I wanted to prove to be independent. You have plenty of other lives to
save. I was in debt to you. Really, truly Heero," she slightly blushed, "Ai
shiteru, even if you hate me." A solitary tear rolled down her cheek. He caught
it like many years before. Before she could say anymore, he put his index finger
on her lips. "No regrets. It is our duty to keep the peace. You did what you had
to do." He gazed into her eyes again. "Ai shiteru Relena itsumo." Relena's eyes
widened as Heero placed his lips gently on hers. A long, sweet, pure kiss of
affection. Relena turned five shades of red. "You've changed, Heero, but ai
shiteru always." Their lips met again, carressing each other warmly,
passionately kissing the night away.
Just on the balcony.......
The gang spy on the two lovers, watching as if it were something they were
waiting to see in years. "Guess it's not your fault." Duo said deviously.
Milliardo came through the entrance. "So what have you been doing while I
mingled with the other people?" "Mingling amongst ourselves." Quatre responded
quickly. "Well, join the party." Milliardo said in a tipsy voice. Hilde looked
over at Relena and Heero still kissing, holding each other. "Maybe we should
tell him about those two love birds," Duo simply replied. "We'll tell him in the
morning while he has a headache from vodka."
Disclaimers* I do not own Gundam Wing.....lucky Bandai people. I know all you
anti-Relena and yaoi fans are gonna send me flames for this fic. Go easy on me,
I bruise easily. If you're thinking OOC no change of heart and Heero never got
his coffee. Arigatou for reading. Enjoy!-Cosmic Maiden
