PART TWO
Dining Room.....
"I still think America should be more involved. So far they have been joining the better
side, but they never really participate in anything" Duo declared.
"I agree. They don't even have a representative on the ESUN council" Sally said.
"Well, there are other countries that aren't really that involved" Noin said.
"But, lets face it, America has a lot of military power and is a powerful country. Keep in
mind that they haven't discarded all their weapons" Duo said.
The conversation continued, the only one not contributing to it was Trowa, of course. He
remained silent and stared at the table. Then , he looked at the Relena's wine glass. He studied it
and saw a smudge on it. This caught his attention and reached over to look at it. He held it up to
his eyes and studied the 'smudge.' Upon inspection he realized it wasn't smudge. It was a
fingerprint.
"What is it Trowa?" Quatre asked and upon hearing this, all their attention was directed
towards Trowa.
How did this fingerprint get here? Trowa wondered. Relena was wearing gloves, there is
no way she could have left a fingerprint. The butler was wearing gloves. Its possible the dish
washer left it he thought. But no, after washing them, the glasses are dried off keenly by maids
with gloves. If none of the hired help or Relena left a fingerprint, then who......
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" a scream was heard from the floor above.
The Gundam Pilots, quickly ran up the stairs , with Sally and Noin following. When,
they reached the third floor, they ran down a long hall. When they reached Relena's room, they
found and butler trying to calm one of the maids. Next to the door stood another elderly maid
with a hand covering her mouth.
Noin and Duo ran into Relena's room, but found nothing out of the ordinary. Then, they
looked to the bed. A little bit infront of the bed was the broken glass of wine spilled on the floor
and next to it was Relena's fallen crown. Next to the crown, was a pale hand, her body was
hidden by the bed.
Duo ran to the other side of the bed and and saw Relena's limp body.
"Somebody call an ambulance!" Noin instructed.
Duo picked Relena up and laid her on her bed. Sally walked and began to check Relena's
pulse.
"Sally, is she okay?" Noin asked.
Sally began to panic when she couldn't find a pulse.
"Whats wrong?" Quatre asked.
"I...I can't find a pulse" Salle said.
They were all left in shock while Sally continued to desperatly find a pulse. She let out a
sigh of relief when she found it.
"Is there a pulse?" Duo asked hopefully.
"Yep. Its very weak, but its there" Sally smiled.
"What could have happened?" Quatre asked.
"I don't...." Noin quickly turned to Trowa, "Trowa, at the dinner table you found
something strange. What was it?"
"I was looking at Relena's glass. Her glasss had a fingerprint on it" Trowa answered.
"A fingerprint?" Duo asked.
"Yes. Relena was wearing gloves, the butlers and maids all wear gloves. No one of the
hired help could have left a fingerprint. Then, I remembered the disgusted face she made when
she drank from the glass, as if it had tasted bad" Trowa explained.
"Are you saying someone poisoned her?" Noin asked.
"I am not surprised. It was only a matter of time before something like this happened"
Wufei said.
"Wufei's right" Trowa agreed.
"The question is how did they penetrate out defenses? And will they come back if their
attempt didn't work?" Noin wondered.
Next Day.......
Relena opened her eyes slowly and was blinded by the brightness of the room. When her
vision cleared, she realized that she was in a hospital. She sat up slowly, but her throbbing had
made her fall back to the pillow.
"Good morning Miss Relena" a young nurse entered, "how are we feeling today?"
"My head is hurting. What happened?" Relena asked.
"Well, your friends brought you here through the emergancy room. Turns out you were
poisoned last night at dinner" the nurse answered while checking some papers.
"Will I be okay?" Relena asked.
"Oh, yes. We just want to keep you here for a couple of days until the poison is fully
disposed from your system and just keep you here for observation" the nurse explained.
"I see. Can I see my freinds?" Relena asked.
"They should be here in a few minutes. I'll be back later with some medicine for the
pain" the nurse said and left.
A few minutes later, the door opened again. Noin, Sally, Quatre, and Duo entered.
"Miss Relena" Noin smiled and hugged her.
"How do you feel?" Sally asked and hugged her.
"Not so good" Relena answered.
"Ojousan!!" Duo exclaimed and took Relena into a breath taking, literally, embrace.
"Oh.......hi..D...uo" Relena barely could speak.
"Duo ,let her go before you break her" Noin scolded.
Duo stuck his tongue out at Noin, but backed away. Quatre walked up to her and handed
her a bouquet of white roses, then hugged her.
"Oh, thank you Quatre" Relena smiled.
"The doctor says you're going to be fine" Quatre said, "I'm relieved."
"We all are" Noin said.
"Where are Trowa and Wufei?" Relena asked.
"Oh, well Trowa is out analyzing the poison and the fingerprint on your wine glass.
Wufei's with him" Duo answered.
"Oh. Where you able to....." Relena drifted off, but Duo heard her question fully by
looking into her eyes.
"We're doing the best we can. Heero's like a ghost, he can disappear off the face of the
universe when ever he wants to, but we'll keep trying" Duo answered.
"Thank you" Relena smiled.
"Now Miss Relena, the next line of business is your security. We're going to have to
place quite a few guards around the hospital for your own safety. We were thinking of taking you
to Colony L1, but that might just give assassins another chance to kill you" Noin said.
"Besides, I told the school I would take the place of Headmistress and I will not back
out" Relena said sternly.
"I don't have the energy to argue with you Relena" Noin said.
"Good, because neither do I" Relena retorted.
"Miss Relena, we think that it is a terrible idea, but if we can't convince you to not go,
then we won't try. But we will have the best security possible other there" Sally said.
"I can agree to that" Relena said.
"Good" Sally smiled.
"Well, Miss Relena, we'll come by to tomorrow to see you. We'll leave now so you can
get some rest" Quatre said.
"All right. Good night" Relena said.
"Good night ojousan" Duo said.
"Good night Duo" Relena smiled.
"Good bye Miss Relena" Quatre said.
"We'll see you tomorrow Relena" Sally said and they all left.
Relena sighed and looked towards the window. It had begun to rain and it was
thundering loud. She looked around the room and studied everything since she had nothing else
to do. She looked to the desk next to her and found a black notebook. It was hers. The one she
always wrote in at night, her journal sort of. Relena reached for it and inside was a pencil.
"Miss Noin must have brought it earlier so I wouldn't get bored" Relena smiled.
She brought the tray with food on it closer, pushed the food away, and placed the
notebook on it. So much had happened that she didn't really know what to write.
The first assasination attempt has passed. I was poisoned. Thankfully or regretfully they failed. I
wonder if maybe death is the only solution to my problems. They are not, but I still wonder about it.
Duo is trying his hardest to find Heero. Heero is a hard person to find and I don't think he will be
found until he wants to be. I need him here. I don't really think I need him, I just need his strength. He fears
nothing....or so he says. But I know he does. He fears his humanity.
Relena closed the notebook. She looked towards the clock on the table and it read 7:05
PM. They had some machine injecting a sedative into her body and she began to feel it kick in.
She rolled the table away and laid down. She pulled the blankets over her tightly and continued
to watch the rain outside.
The door opened and the same nurse that had entered earlier entered.
"Miss Relena, are you awake?" she asked timidly.
Relena turned slowly to face her and answered "yes, I am."
"I brought you some Advil for the headaches. I'd give you some Extra Strength Tylenol,
but the doctor says that it may interfere with his treaments for the poison" the nurse said.
"Is that why sedatives are being injected to my body?" Relena asked.
"Yes, this way you can sleep off the pain since he can't give you anything else" the nurse
explained.
"Could you leave the pills and some water on the table for me?" Relena asked.
"Of course," the nurse placed a pithcer of water and small cup containing the pills on the
table, "I'll see you in the morning. Would you like me to turn off the lights?"
"Yes, please. Good night" Relena said.
"Good night" the nurse said, turned off the lights and closed the door behind her.
Lightning eluminated the room every few seconds and the rain had begun to pound
harder on her window. Ever since she was young she had been afraid of thunder. When she was
very little Milliardo would go to her room when it was raining and sleep with her so she wouldn't
be afraid. After the Sanc Kingdom was attacked, her foster mother used to sing her to sleep on
rainy days. Now..now no one would come to sooth her. So she closed her eyes and hoped the
sedative would place her into an unshakable dream.
The door opened slowly and then closed. A dark figure walked into Relena's room and
walked to her bed. A gun glistened in his hand as he raised it slowly........
So with that cleared up... enjoy another Heero/Relena fanfic. Standard Disclaimers: not mine. don't sue. I'm broke. (and now for my signing quote)
