Sign of An Angel
By Hot Head
The following week, Relena was recovering from her accident. She woke up two days after, worried and scared. She didn't know where she was at first but knew it was safer. She called in sick and stayed at Quatre's hotel room and didn't plan on going home. Also the two she saw at the circus, Wufei and Trowa were staying aswell, apparently to watch Relena when Quatre was off at meetings with USUN....
Relena tied her hair with her tattered bow and sat up on the firm couch. She stared at Wufei who was counting silently and Trowa who was sitting next to her with her arms crossed and a quiet glare. For the past week, that was all she saw. She couldn't leave the hotel room, alone or leave the building. Quatre was very concerned about her health and didn't want her falling ill again ot was it... to keep her away from Heero, she thought.
To her the world seemed to close in on her. She'd think of Heero and then of how everyone wanted to separate them. The four walls that surrounded her everyday, was moving in closer and closer. Once she thought the air was being sucked out of the room. She couldn't take being in that awful room any longer. She got up and took her coat. As she opened the door, Wufei just slammed it closed. Then Trowa got up and took Relena's hand and dragged her back on the couch. Usually, when she attempted to leave Trowa would sit her back on the couch and that was it but today she needed to get out. She pulled away from him and ran out. Luckily, Wufei caught her in time.
"Let me go!" she commanded.
"No." Wufei struggled to say as he tried to get a grip on her jacket.
"I need to get out of this God forsaken place!"
"No. Quatre told us to watch you."
"Let me go!"
"No."
"Wufei, please!" she cried out and dropped to her knees.
"Relena?"
"I have to go out. I-I just have to. I'm going mad in here."
"Why?"
"I have to go see Heero..." her voice trailed off as she sat calmly on the floor of the hallway.
"Heero?"
She nodded and felt her side ache.
"Please? Can't I please go?"
"But-"
"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine!"
Trowa walked toward them and loosened his grip on Relena. He shooed her away and the two boys watched her run down the stairs.
"Why'd you do that? Quatre's going to get angry." Wufei asked angrily.
"She needs to fight her own battle and he doesn't need to know." Trowa responded.

"Where should we go today?" Seung asked.
For the past week, Seung had been trying to spend as much time with Heero as possible. Just yesterday, she took him to watch a play and to have drink at a night club. Every night, he came home tired and regretful about leaving Relena to take a rocky path.....
Heero watch Sueng pace across the room and Duo stuff himself with last night's leftovers.Duo shook his head pitifully at him as Seung suggested places to go. Heero glared at Duo and knew he was right. Heero was making a mistake. Staying with Seung brought him agony and sleepless nights and why should he keeping going? He needed to turn back.
It was already a quarter to five and it began raining hard. Heero grabbed his coat and nodded to Duo. He walked over to the door, when Seung stepped infront of him with sad and mournful eyes but he couldn't let that stop him.
"Where are you going?" Seung asked.
He sighed and answered, "To church."
"What?"
"You heard me. Church."
"But you haven't went to Chruch in- your whole life."
"So."
"Your not even catholic!"
"Why not start now?"
"But-"
"No 'but's, I'm going."
"Fine, lemme get my coat."
"No."
"What?"
"No, I'm going alone."
"Why?!"
"Sometimes, you have to fight your own battle, Seung."
He kissed her forehead and put on his jacket. Duo smiled at him as Seung became speechless and confused. He left without regrets but with confidence. This is the right thing to do, isn't it?, he thought.

She was cold and wet. She didn't no where she was going but she knew she had to keep walking. For hours she walked and walked aimlessly as it got darker and the rain heavier. It was becoming hopless. She couldn't find Heero this way but what way should she?
The sound of the busy streets and the smells of the sewers filled the air as she walked to the only place she knew, the circus tent. She was very tired and decided to take a nap on a bench by the circus entrance.
~
Only a few people were there when he arrived. Heero sat himself down as he listened to the readings but at the same time he was lost and confused. He went on his knees and began to pray.
He closed his eyes and bowed his head, God, I'm truly sorry for not coming to chruch and what I did in the wars but can you help me? I took the wrong path and I have no where to go. I hurt someone and now I'm lost. Send me a sign, anything to help me on my way...
His phone began to ring. He sat up and took the call. It was Quatre and he sounded scared and concerned.
"Heero! Heero! Something terrible happened!" Quatre exclaimed.
"How'd you get my number?" Heero asked.
"Nevermind that! Relena's gone!"
"What?"
"I came back from my meeting when I saw Trowa and Wufei packing their bags!"
"What is terrible about that?"
"That's only half of the story."
"Then?"
"Well, I looked around and I saw no Relena. I asked Trowa and Wufei were she was but they refused to answer and told me she was her own person which I didn't understand."
"Did you call Duo?"
"Yes! Yes! But the phone was busy!"
"Calm down.
"I can't! I feel this is all my fault! I should of stay'd and watched her!"
"It's not your fault, it's -"
"I should of been there!"
"Why does she need to be watched, anyway?"
"Well, she's been getting sick lately and sometimes it gets so severe that it seems like she's going to..."
"Die?"
"That's why I asked them to watch her and make sure she doesn't leave the hotel! Dear me!"
"Oh Quatre.."
"We looked everywhere but there's no sign of her."
"..I'll look for her."
Heero immediately hung up and left to go find her. Since he didn't have a car, he walked around the damp town, searching everywhere for Relena. No spot was over looked but she was no where to be found. Although, he kept seraching.

Relena woke up and held her stomach tightly as she rose to her feet. She took off her drenched and heavy coat and dropped it on the ground. Then she untangled her hair and managed to get her bow out. She walked over to the corner and leaned against a street lamp with her weak and tired body. The rain was pouring rapidly and it hit the windshields of cars, people who were trying to get home and a ill-looking Heero. Heero! She gasped as she stared at Heero as he dragged himself across the street. Cars drove past him, angrily beeping their horns but he kept his pace. Relena bit her lip and was eager to help him but her legs were too weak to even move. All she could do was watch.
I need to help, she thought and stood herself up. The wide street was become wider and Heero was becoming even slower and the cars were more faster. I won't make it, she thought as she took her first steps. Suddenly she heard a truck blow it's horn. She quickly turned and saw the trunk was headed in Heero's direction. It couldn't and it wouldn't stop. Heero wasn't paying much attention or moving quick enough.
Then Relena felt something strange. Her legs were becoming lighter and the pain was fading away. So strange... but there was no time. She focused on Heero and ran toward him.
