Tangled Triangle of Love and Death
Part 2

Heero quickly became aquainted with many people at the party. He fit into Relena's brother's tux wonderfully. He took advantage of his infiltration of the party to scope out security, possible entrances, cameras, and suspicious looking characters. He kept an eye out for mysterious women, but kept it in his mind to watch guys too. It could be a whole organization, the black dragon.
As he walked around the corner, he spotted Wufei in the corner. Wufei was drinking some punch, and talking to Relena again. Relena laughed at a comment he made, and he kept a sly look on his face. Heero didn't know what made him so angry about this. He tightened his grip on a Dixie cup. He convinced himself that he was mad about Wufei, being a suspect, touching and talking to his target.
Wufei was talking about kendo and karate; Heero only knew that because he could read lips. Karate? Wufei was definitely a suspect. He had to be in on this whole ninja-charade! Wufei was now demonstrating a move, he came up behind Relena and put his arms around her waist…Relena was smiling.
This was the last straw. Heero walked quickly and came up to the two of them. "…Now what Wufei? Oh, hello Heero how are you enjoying the party?" Relena really didn't want to talk, she was busy. Wufei looked away, annoyed at Heero's presence. " The party is fine, Miss Relena, but I think you are wanted upstairs." Heero had to separate the two of them.
Relena nodded, and shrugged at Wufei, " I'm sorry Wufei, you'll have to show me that move later." She winked at him. Wufei nodded back with a grin and raised eyebrows. Heero was a time bomb. Wufei looked back at Heero, "Why are you still here?" Heero stared back with an icy glare. "Me, you, outside." Wufei seemed surprised, but accepted the challenge. They walked silently side by side into the front yard. People followed, curious to see what was going on.
"All right. What's going on, what's your problem?" Wufei demanded. "You know!" Heero called back, lunging for Wufei. "Hey!" Wufei said nimbly dodging his attack, "you don't know who you are messing with!" Heero swung around to kick Wufei in the chest and head, "Shut up and fight back! Coward!" Wufei used his hands to deflect Heero's blows, "Coward!?" Wufei then flipped onto his hands and did and spinning kick into Heero's chest, "I am NOT a coward!" Heero grinned, then frowned, he was finally going to get to fight this guy. Wufei's blows hardly affected Heero, Wufei was still holding back; Heero was going to teach him not to underestimate him.
Wufei did a roundhouse kick, but Heero ducked and then came up underneath him, knocking him over. Wufei seemed to understand the seriousness of this fight now, and before he fell, he flipped over and turned to face Heero. Wufei took a deep breath, and when Heero charged at him, he did a back flip and kicked him as his feet came up. Heero got the wind knocked out of him. The sheer awesomeness of this fight, left the crowd speechless, and they weren't even chanting, "Fight fight fight!" anymore.
Heero stumbled back, then went back to a fighting position. He hadn't had a competitor so strong in a while. He missed his gun. Heero launched himself at Wufei and tricked him into blocking a punch, while he kicked him in the stomach. Wufei fell, and caught himself with his hand. Heero was just about finish him off, and teach him a lesson, but Wufei rolled out of the way and swung his leg around, fracturing or spraining Heero's ankle. With a loud crack, Heero winced, and in a fury struck down upon Wufei, who was in a defense position, and very visibly broke his left arm. Wufei yelped a little, and the crowd all decided that they didn't want to be involved. Heero squatted down, checking out his injury, " Hmmph the Black Dragon my ass!" Wufei opened one and hissed back, "It's the Dragon Clan, and the symbol is red, not black you idiot!" Heero contemplated this for a moment. What if the dragon clan and the black dragon were two separate organizations?
"Who are you, who crazy f***?" Demanded Wufei, who was sprawled on the grass nursing his badly broken arm. Heero ignored his question. "Are you part of the organization, the black dragon? Have you heard of them?" Wufei groaned in pain, "No you idiot, only my family's clan. What's the deal with you? You broke my arm!!!" What had Heero done? He had attacked a possibly innocent person, who stood up for their clan, and he broke his arm. Criminy. He wouldn't go back to school. His cover was so blown. Heero felt embarrassed but not too guilty, due to his fractured ankle. "You are an honorable adversary, but I have made a mistake." Heero got up and started to hobble off. "What about my arm you twit! I hope you have insurance! Hey come back here! Injustice!!!!!!!!!
Heero left Wufei clutching his arm and went to talk to Noin. They were renting an apartment for the time being. He had always hoped that they would someday buy a house together. His dream seemed much more distant now. He knocked on the door then stepped inside. "Noi-oin!" he called, but there wasn't a reply. He heard a sound coming from upstairs. He climbed the dark stairway to see what she was doing. He opened the door and saw…. nothing. Nobody was there. He investigated the window to see if it was tightly locked. It was. He noticed that Noin's files were out. It was just a bit suspicious, but he felt paranoid. He grunted and mumbled about Noin being a slob. He left the room and got dressed to return to Relena's house.
The door slammed, and a motorcycle was heard leaving the house a minute later. The coast was clear. The ninja dropped down from her place on the ceiling, and landed softly on the bed. She began to rummage through the files again. Whew. That was a close call, that guy is a threat. Cute, but a threat. 'Heh heh,' she thought, 'no time for trivial matters, I have important business to attend to. Noin must be killed.' She browsed through the files and found the info she wanted, she scanned it, then placed the files back on the bed where she had found them conveniently laid out. She slipped through the window, and into the night.
Heero crouched in the bushes again. The same cat came to see him, and while he waited, he stroked the cat's head patiently. Finally, the light turned on in the room. She was up late, most likely coaxing the drunken partiers out. He watched attentively as she dressed. The scolded himself for it. She did some aerobics, wrote in a diary then turned out the light. Heero waited another hour and a half to make sure that she was really asleep. He cut a small hole in the glass of the window quietly, and put a small tube through it. He back away about 10 feet and turned the nozzle on a small canister. Gas drifted into her room, making sure she was asleep. After the gas cleared, he silently entered and lifted her up. He took her from the house and outside. He had to hurry off the property so nobody saw him. Then came a slight dilemma, how was he gonna get her home? He found a way by wrapping his arms around hers and having her propped in front of him on the motorcycle. A cop looked at the couple as they stopped at a light. Heero acted embarrassed and called out, "Designated driver!" The cop smiled and nodded. He took her in the house and laid her down on the bed. There was a note from Noin. She was going to be gone for a week, and there was some money in the drawer. He discarded to note and worked on gagging his hostage. He tied her down so she couldn't move or escape and then thought a bit. Why does Noin want this girl!? Money? Power? He grew silent for a second. …Love? He shook the thought out of his mind. He closed the door and looked back at Relena. Goodnight girl, I'll decide your fate tomorrow.
She was having the strangest dream, she was somewhere, lost, in a room she didn't know, and she couldn't speak. She closed her eyes, then opened them quickly again. She gasped and realized it wasn't a dream. She looked over to see a young boy in the corner; she focused her eyes on him, but was unable to wipe the crud from her eyes. It was the boy from school! Um… Heero! Heero Yuy. He looked up at her and had a solemn look on his face. He frowned. "Good morning miss, please don't be scared. I might not hurt you…" She was frightened, but not too much, this kind of thing seemed to happen a lot to her. "I have some questions to ask of you," he said, "answer them with truth and my knife wont come near you." He was bluffing, maybe. She nodded. "One nod yes, two nods no, got it?" he showed his knife. She nodded once. " Do you know anyone named Noin?" he asked. She hesitated and rolled her eyes, trying to think, then nodded twice. It was sort of awkward, so she decided to shake her head instead. He grunted, then continued asking her questions. He asked her if she would scream if he took out the gag. She shook her head. She walked over and pulled it out of her mouth. She gasped briefly and stared up at him.
She closed her eyes and looked away. She opened them slowly, "Why…why have you brought me here?" Heero was a little startled by this question, because he was still unsure of the answer. "I'm wondering the same thing Relena-pi." She frowned at him calling her that, which only made him snicker. Relena wasn't the type to be called "babe." "I'm unsure of my partner's intentions with you, but I love her, so I do what she says. And I will tell you right now, if it is the wrong reason, I'll kill someone. Maybe you, maybe not… we will just have to see." He left the room with a grin. He had acted so cool. But was he serious? He didn't know. Did Noin love this girl? It was painful to think about.
Coolness! I'll write some more later, but next I have to add another chapter to my other story. A Wufei and Relena romance. You guys should read them; they're pretty cool.
NEXT CHAPTER!!!!! Noin is back. Are Heero's suspicions confirmed? Will the ninja come back? What happened to Relena? Find out next.
