"Heero." Relena dropped her purse on the floor and slowly walked up to him. Behind her, Elena grabbed the bag so that nothing would spill out. Sally and Noin grabbed her and Haziel and proceeded to pulling them out of the room so that the two could be alone.
Heero was just as shocked. It was his angel! She was real ... and yet, she seemed so familiar. "Tenshi ..." he breathed.
Relena was near tears. She slowly made her way over to him, and placed both hands on his face. She gently brushed that stray lock off his face.
Heero was completely oblivious to what she was doing, but it just felt so ... right. She looked beautiful-just like an angel should.
But her blue eyes were shining with tears. He wanted to touch her. "What's wrong, mai tenshi?" he asked softly.
Relena stifled a sob, and threw herself into his arms, burying her head in his chest. She finally let her tears out, and it soaked into the material of his shirt.
Heero's arms automatically came around her, and he began to stroke her hair. He really had no idea what was going on, but he knew that he had a strong relationship with this ethetreal angel.
Relena reached her arms up to wind about his neck. She pulled back, face red and streaked with tears, and shakily smiled back up at him.
Heero was completely shocked. Why was she looking at him like that?
"Are you real?" she whispered. She pulled one lithe arm from around his neck to trace his features. Her fingers came to rest on his lips, and Heero closed his eyes at the sensation of her cool hand on his face.
Drawing in a shaky breath, she began to pull his face towards hers.
Snapping out of his reverie, Heero's eyes flew open, startled. He pulled away in shock.
Relena was hurt. More than when he would constantly leave her. Much more. It felt like she had given him her soul, only to have him rip it to shreds and shove it back into her body.
"What's wrong, Heero?" Tears welled up in Relena's eyes once more.
Heero pulled away completely. "I'm sorry," he whispered.
"Sorry about what?" Relena reached out again, and Heero moved away from her touch.
She drew back into herself, afraid of further rejection.
"I'm sorry. I don't remember you."
The room began to spin. Relena sank into a seat, and began to cry out of self-pity.
"Tenshi ..." Heero reached out to her, and she jerked herself to her feet and fled the room.
The door burst open, and Relena came out, sobbing. Elena turned to her brother, eyes wide. Sean stood up and walked into the room. Heero was sitting on a chair with a blank look on his face.
He turned back to Sally and Noin, emerald eyes infuriated. "You think you could've told her BEFORE she got her damn hopes up?"
Noin bit her lip. "Actually ... we didn't think of that."
"Yeah," Sally continued, nervously, "we were hoping for a ... miraculous recovery?"
Haziel looked ready to kill. "Tell Mom what?"
Sean turned to him. "Colonel Yuy has a severe case of amnesia," he said, blandly.
His mouth dropped open. "Can you believe that, Elly? And they actually thought the sight of Mom might cure him! Look-I may not be a doctor or anything, but that's just fucking COMMON SENSE!" No one bothered to reprimand him on his choice of words.
Sally suddenly decided to stop looking stupid, and put on her 'doctor' face. "Still, he can't know who you are, except for you names. He has to remember on his own."
Elena slowly walked into the room. Heero's head snapped up at the sound of her shoes on the black and white tiled floor. "Tenshi?"
Elena's nose wrinkled in confusion. *Oh! He must mean Mom.* She smiled mentally. *Maybe I do look that much like her.*
"No ... I'm not Relena. I'm ELENA."
Heero studied her more closely. She wasn't his angel after all. Her eyes were the same, but her hair was a shade darker.
"Why won't you remember?" a soft voice asked him.
Heero sighed. "I want to. Oh kami, I want to! It's just that whenever I get to thinking about my past, an angel takes over me ... She's all I can think about."
Elena plopped down next to him, turning the events over in her head. "Angel ... tenshi ... Mom ... You know, Heero? You just broke your angel's heart."
She stood up and walked towards the door, eyes saddened. "Again."
That's it! I hate to cut it short, but I am so tired and so depressed! I hope you all liked this part, tho, and I hope you won't kill me over getting parts out. Ja!
