~True Love Never Dies~
~Part 5~

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. Mr. Yuy, you may kiss your beautiful bride."
Heero smiled at his precious angel: Relena Peacecraft. 'No, Relena Yuy…' Then slowly Heero made the motion that would make his heavenly angel his forever.
The kiss, soft and tender, and of the sweetest essence. After the couple pulled away, they strode down the aisle together, not a care in the world. "Oh Heero, I can't believe we're finally married. This is like my wildest, most cherished dream come true."
"I know. This is so, dreamlike."
"Heero, my soldier."
"Relena, my angel."
"Ms. Relena?" asked an unfamiliar voice.
With a jump, Relena came crashing to the floor. "It was a dream? Awwwww……I thought it was real." Relena complained.
"I see you've got your strength back. That's a good sign." The nurse breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where am I? What am I doing here? Where's Odin? Will somebody please tell me what's going on here?"
"Calm down Ms. Relena. My name is Dr. Laurie Winner. I'm one of Quatre's sister's as well. Speaking of how is Quatre doing anyway?"
Relena scowled. "He's just dandy." Her expression softened. "At least he's happy. But will you please tell me what happened to Odin before I go insane from worry?"
Laurie's face saddened and fell. " He's in pretty bad shape. Physically he's fine, in fact he made record history for having the fastest recovery ever. But, there's just one problem."
'Why does there always have to be a but?' "What's wrong? Is he okay?" Relena's eyes were pleading.
"He's well, suffering from amnesia. He can't and won't remember a thing. I'm terribly sorry Ms. Relena, but Odin may never be the same again."
"What you mean never the same again? He didn't hit his head that hard…besides which you're a doctor! Help him! Please help him…" Relena screamed before breaking down and crying.
"I said calm down Ms Relena! There's nothing we CAN do to help. I'm sorry, but you're going to take it as it comes. Don't you think you're being just a bit selfish Relena?"
Relena's eyes burned with the angriest flames. "Selfish? What do you mean selfish? All I want is the best for Odin! How can I be?"
"My thoughts exactly. Ms. Laurie, I think you need to treat my sister with a little more respect. After all, she does have more authority over you. And she's my little sister."
"Milliardo! Oh I'm so glad to see you." Relena was relieved her big brother was here to save her from Laurie's "delusions".
"Milliardo Peacecraft…it's an honor…may I say-" Laurie said before being cut off.
"No need for that, Ms. Winner. I came here because I heard of my sister's terrible accident at Serenity Lake, on her date with her newly found boyfriend. I love my sister very much and I will not tolerate ANYONE treating her wrong. She just went through a terrible accident about a month ago, with someone she loved very dearly, who's death affected her greatly. Although he and I didn't get along very well- far from it in fact, I still learned to approve their beautiful relationship. Now, she has found a new love, and been through yet another tragedy. She doesn't need this now, so I suggest you treat her really well, or you'll have me to deal with. Understood Ms. Winner?"
"Understood your highness. It won't happen again." Laurie was shaking.
"Good. I'm glad to hear that. Now, my dear little sister, you should rest now."
"Yes. Thank you Milliardo." Relena smiled for the first time since Odin came for her, to take her to their date.
As Milliardo left, his thoughts dwell on Odin. 'There's something so familiar about him…could it be? Heero survived?'
"I'm terribly sorry Ms. Relena…I had no idea. What happened to you?"
"Do you mind if I don't do this? I- I really can't stand it, to tell what happened to me and Heero that day. Now just please help Odin…I already lost one person to a deadly fate, I don't want to lose another." Relena cried.
Laurie understood. "Ms. Relena, I'm terribly sorry for my behavior. I have an anger problem really. Maybe I just miss my little brother so much I can't handle myself. However, if you'll accept it, I have something that should cheer you up. Would you please come with me?"
Relena nodded. "Your apology is accepted. I ought to be sorry too. I've been under so much emotional distress lately, I can't handle myself. Sorry if I made you mad."
"Don't worry Ms. Relena. I know how it is. Now please step inside this room with me."
Relena had never been surrounded by so many documents in her life. Then Relena spotted the one that said: "Odin Lowe Jr." "This room is where we keep all of our medical documents. This folder, your boyfriend's folder isn't very full, because he never needed to check in. A miracle worker he is."
"You mean you've met him before?"
"Yes I have, in fact I have a very surprising secret for you Ms. Relena. However, you might want to sit down, for I don't know how this will effect you. Now, your boyfriend's documents indicate that he has been going under an alternate identity for quite a long time now. But during a mysterious disappearance back in late September of this year, he seems to be going under his old identity again."
"Mysterious disappearance? Alternate identity? Well what's wrong with that?"
"Nothing my dear. It's just you know his alternate identity."
"What do you mean. I couldn't possibly…well who is it?"
"When your brother came in here and said his name, I was stunned. But you should be happy, for he was a lover of yours."
"Lover? But I have only had-" That's when reality hit Relena. Odin was Heero. Heero was Odin. "But- it can't be possible! No! I watched him die it's not possible!" Relena wanted to cry.
"Why? The looks, the charm? How could they not be the same? How can you deny it? I'll even go get a DNA sample for you. Wait here please."
Relena wasn't waiting around. She refused to believe it. Laurie was lying. She had to be…didn't she? When she reached Odin's room, her heart tore in half once more. Attached to him were wires, tubes and other things. Relena's heart couldn't take it anymore. "Odin? I know you can hear me. Please open your eyes."
No response. "It isn't true…is it?"
Relena kissed Odin passionately before she left, but didn't hear a voice call out to her.
"Relena…don't go…" Odin said in a weak voice. 'You have to believe her. Please. My love, don't leave me…I need you.'
Sorry! I kinda have to leave ya hanging again! But about time ne? Well how was it this time? R&R Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
