Chapter 41
"Trowa!" yelled Ikia as she ran after him. It was the next
morning, and having slept on it, Ikia decided to confront him.
Trowa picked up his pace and went into the men's room before she
could see where he went. He listened as she ran past and sighed. He didn't
want to face her just yet.
As Ikia rounded the corner she found no sign of him. Slumping
her shoulders she felt defeated. He was avoiding her.
"Jerk," she grumbled. Mad she stomped off to have breakfast with
Relena. Trowa peeked out to see if she was still there, seeing that she
wasn't he headed outside to take a walk.
Ikia walked into the cafeteria, most everyone was there. Wufei,
Sally, Quatre, Duo, and Hilde were all at one table. Relena sat alone
at another. Heero and Trowa were nowhere to be found. Grabbing a bagel
she went and sat with Relena.
"Hey Relena. Why are you so gloomy today," she asked, noticing
her friends downcast expression.
"It's nothing. Well, it something, but I don't want to tell you
around everyone," Relena replied.
"Oh, well, we can go for a walk after I finish my bagel if you
want," Ikia offered.
"Ok, thanks." Ikia finished the last of her bagel and she and
Relena headed out to the trail in the woods.
Chapter 42
"So whats bothering you Relena," asked Ikia. They were just entering
the woods and the early morning light filtered through the treetops.
"Heero," she replied sullenly. Ikia had to stifle a laugh.
"Well, that's nothing new. What is it now?" she asked trying to
remain serious for her friends sake.
"He's stopped avoiding me, but he doesn't even talk to me unless
I initiate the conversation. I'm ready to give up."
"Relena, I hate to say this, but why didn't you give up long before
this? Heero seems to not want a relationship, and personally I don't think
he's the right type of person for you. He may seem exciting but I can't
picture you two lasting. It just doesn't seem right." She stopped as
Relena gave her an angry glare.
"I think I know the right type of person for me thank you very
much. Geez, I brought you out here for advice and now you're ridiculing
me on feelings you don't even know about. Well, thanks for the advice,
I'll be leaving now." With that, Relena stompped off leaving Ikia to
just stare in amazement.
"Wow, I must have really pushed a button. But I still think what
I said is true," she said to herself. Deciding she still had more time
she continued on her walk.
A little while later she stopped suddenly. Trowa was kneeling
there with his back turned towards her. In front of him was a small deer
that he gently petted. Not being able to resist she walked over.
Trowa had felt someone behind him, but when the deer didn't run
he didn't bother to turn around. To his surprise, a slim hand reached
over his shoulder and stroked the deer. To his knowledge, only he had
ever been able to touch a wild animal without it running.
He turned, startling the deer which jumped off and came face to
face with Ikia.
"Uh oh," he thought. Ikia straightened and watched as he stood
and prepared to leave.
"Oh no you don't Trowa, we need to talk," she said firmly. Seeing
that he didn't have a way out he nodded.
"Ok, lets go sit on that bench over there," he said finally. They
both sat and it was silent for a few moments.
Finally Ikia spoke, "why did you kiss me Trowa?" Trowa was silent,
he didn't know what to say. Finally he just said the truth as was his
nature to do so.
"I told you that someone told me to act on my emotions. Well I
had this uncontrollable urge to kiss you. So I did. I acted on my emotion."
"Oh, well, at least everyone can say you tell the truth," she
said dissapointedly, wiping a small tear from the corner of her eye.
"What did you want me to say," he asked Ikia, frustratedly.
"I don't know," she whispered. Her tears stopped but she still
felt bad. Like something had just shattered her somehow. Standing up
she started to walk away.
Trowa watched her dissapear. What did she want him to say? And
what had he wanted to say? He never had felt so bad in his life. When
he heard her dissapointment, he wanted to say something. Comfort her,
but he didn't know how.
"I'm sorry Ikia," he called out to her. But she was already around
the bend. The only ones who heard were the wildlife and the trees.
Chapter 43
Relena came to the clearing. Taking up a gun she fired it at
the targets. A couple of her shots went wide, but some hit the target.
Not satisfied she put in another clip. The pattern went on for a while
until she finally hit the bullseye.
"Relena, is something wrong? You seem angry," asked Quatre, limping
outside. She ignored him and finally after the clip finished turned around.
Quatre had came out wanting to apologize for his actions yesterday
but when he saw the tense set to her shoulders he decided that it could
wait.
"It's nothing unless you can give better advice than your sister,"
she said bitterly.
"Well, I can try. Whats the problem?" he said.
"Heero, I feel so frustrated about the whole thing with him. I
know I told you in the woods that I was going to give up on him. But as
soon as I saw him again I just couldn't. I don't know what to do."
Quatre frowned. "Well, I don't know what to tell you Relena. I
don't know your feelings or what goes on inside your head. I think the
only thing that you could do is find out what Heero thinks."
"Oh, thanks Quatre. I guess I had better apologize to Ikia. I
kind of blew up at her. Well I gotta go, see you later," she said and
and dissapeared into the building.
Chapter 43
"Wufei, we hardly get any time together," complained Sally as
she sat on his lap in her office. They couldn't go to each others dorms
since the others would suspect something. Which left only her office,
and even then they were running a risk.
"I know," he said and gave her a quick kiss. He treasured these
few moments he had with her.
"Why can't we just tell them," she asked. Wufei just frowned
thinking of what the others would say. There would either be crude remarks
or derogatory comments. Relationships in the workplace just weren't accepted.
She caught the meaning of his frown and leaned in for another
kiss. They didn't even notice the door opening.
"Hey Sally," said Wufei breaking away.
"Yes," she replied.
"I don't think we have a choice of keeping it secret anymore."
Sally turned around, there in the door stood a very flabbergasted Duo
Maxwell. Suddenly a grin broke on the braided man's face.
"Go Wufei," he shouted and then ran out of the room. Most likely
to tell the others. Not being able to contain it they both broke up laughing
at what had just happened.

Well, what'd ya think. I decided to get Wufei and Sally in there since
they haven't had an active role lately.
Is Relena going to confront Heero? What other confrontations will
there be? What about Trowa and Ikia? You'll just have to wait to find
out :-) Thanks for reading!
