Another Heero/Relena fanfic? Eh, well, the truth is there are more yaoi fanfics than there are straight fics. I was issued a challenge to write a Duo/Heero fanfic. This person was trying to test my writing brilliance.*stands proud* *sweat drop readers* Well, I don't accept. I may be a brilliant writer. *laughs maniacally* *readers back away* , but I will absolutely not write anything like that. Sure I could probably come up with something, but that certainly doesn't catch my attention as a writer.If this person likes, I will write one later on, but right now it just isn't on my agenda.
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)
I am a teller of many tales. Tales of Gundam Wing, Sailor Moon, Card Captor Sakura, Tenchi Muyo, and much, mucho more! So come and follow me into me garden of magic and land of enchant, where your imagination rules all.


Destiny's Withering Rose
A Gundam Wing Fanfic


PART THREE

A gun glistened in his hand as he rose it slowly and placed it on the table. (scared ya,
didn't I? hehe) He pulled up a chair and sat next to her bed. The sedatives had her in a deep
sleep, so he didn't have to worry about her waking up.
Heero's face was completely illluminated by the lightning outside. The sound of the loud
thunder reminded him of Wing Zero and his battles. It sounded like explosions and guns being
fired off.
Heero wasn't completely sure why he was there. When he heard that Relena had been
poisoned, he knew he had to be there. Funny, no matter how many times he denied it, he knew he
wanted to be there to protect her because he was worried.
He noticed the black notebook on the tray table. His curiousity got the better of him and
he turned to the page the pencil was marking and began to read the short paragraphs.
.....I need him here. I don't think I really need him, I need his strength. He fears nothing... or so he
says. But I know he does. He fears his humanity..
Heero stared coldy at her as he closed the notebook.
"You think you know me Relena? Don't kid yourself. You can't make any judgements
about me because you don't know a damn thing about me. Not one thing. You can sit there and
make all the discernments you want about me, but you'll never know who I am or what I fear. I
don't fear my humanity, because I don't have any left, it was destroyed a long, long time ago"
Heero said.
He knew Relena was in her deep sleep, but he knew by scientific theory, that somewhere
in her mind, every word he was saying was registering. He stood up and walked over to the
window. He looked out into the dark and rainy night, then looked back to Relena's sleeping
form.
"You can stop looking for me. I'm here" Heero said to her.
He stepped into the darkness of the other side of the room and disappeared, like a ghost
at dawn.
Morning.....
Relena had taken the pills and eaten breakfast. She had noticed the chair that had been
placed next to her bed when she woke up. Someone had been there during the night, but she
didn't know who.(as if it isn't obvious)
There was tv in there, but no cable so there wasn't much to see. The door opene and a
bouncy Duo entered.
"Good mornin' ojousan" he smiled and sat in the chair.
"Hello, Duo" Relena sat up slowly.
Duo noticed the tray of food and made a disgusted face.
"Yuck! I hate hospital food" Duo said.
"Well, its either willingly or they force feed me" Relena smiled.
"Oh," Duo let out a chuckle, "I see. Well, then eat away."
"Duo," Relena said in a concerned tone and Duo made a worried face.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"That chair was all the way on the other side of room before I fell asleep last night.
When I woke up in morning it was here next my bed. Someone was here" Relena said.
Duo frowned, "Did you hear anything?"
"I was heavily sedated, I slept like the dead. And yet I could have sworn someone was
speaking to me" Relena said.
"Heh," Duo made a nervous face, "please don't say that."
"What?" Relena asked.
"Slept like the dead. Its kind of dry humor right now" Duo said.
"Oh. Well, anyways..." Relena urged him.
(Duo- "urge?"*
*Enter three buff and cute guys*
*music begins* "He's got the urge to Herbal. He's got the herbal in the shower, for another half
an hour. He's got the urge! natural betanical! He's got the urge to herbal!."
Relena "Duo!!"
*Duo turns*
Duo "whoops sorry."*Enter old lady*
Old lady "try the body wash."*
Relena and Duo "Hmmm....")
"Hm....There is one person I know that could have gotten passed the extensive and
professional security outside," Duo smiled, "Looks like we won't have to be searching long for
him anymore."
"What are you saying?" Relena asked.
"Come on. If it had been an assassin, you'd be dead. Who else would have the
experience and intelligence to get in quietly?" Duo asked.
"I...." Relena didn't answer.
"Who else? Heero of course" Duo said.
"But, why would he come here?" Relena asked.
"Well, he probably came to check up on you to make sure you were okay" Duo
answered.
"That doesn't answer my question" Relena raised an eyebrow.
"Hey, if I say anything else I risk losing my life. And I'll never see my Hilde again" Duo
said.
"I see" Relena smiled.
"Listen ojousan, whether or not Heero wants to admit it, he worries about you. I mean so
do I, but he worries about you in a different way. True or false, you were the first person Heero
has ever shown signs of weakness to?" Duo asked.
"I don't know" Relena answered.
"Besides Trowa, you and him share a special bond and thats what brings him back" Duo
said.
"Hm" Relena sighed.
"Buuut, if ya really want to know why, you're going to have to ask him" Duo smiled.
"Oh, like he'd really answer me" Relena rolled her eyes.
Duo's grin widened, " only one way to find out" and he stood up.
Relena looked towards the door and saw Heero standing there. Her eyes widened and her
heart nearly stopped.
"Well, I'll c-ya later" Duo said and walked out whistling.
Heero walked in and closed the door behind him. He walked over to the bed and sat
down in the chair.
"What...what are you doing here?" Relena regained her composture.
"You've been searching for me. I thought I'd see why" Heero said coldly.
"I... we were looking for you because, well, are you or aren't you a member or the
Preventers 5?" Relena asked.
"Yes" he answered.
"Well, with all these new things happening, we felt it would be a good idea to contact
you" Relena said.
"Hn" he mumbled.
"But, what does bring you here?" Relena asked.
"I came to see how you were. I found out about that incident. Trowa and Wufei are
trying to find who it was" Heero said.
"Oh" Relena said.
"I also came to accept my mission. The Preventers 5 are here to protect you, its obvious I
should be here" Heero said.
"So, I'm only a mission you must complete?" Relena asked.
"If thats how you want to look at it" Heero's monotone voice answered.
"I'm very tired. I think you should leave" Relena said.
"I can't. I'm here to take you back to the palace. The security's no good here. I should
know, I tried them out" Heero said.
"Last night?" Relena asked.
Heero stared at her and answered "yes."
"I thought so" Relena said.
"Hn" he snorted.
"Do I have to go right now?" Relena asked.
"Yes" Heero answered.
"But, they have me under observation and they're injecting high dozes of anodyne in me.
I can barely sit up, much less walk" Relena said.
Heero stood up and took one of the white bath robes hanging on the bathroom door. He
walked back to the bed and helped her put it on. She nervously placed some of her loose hair
back behind her ears.
"I can't walk Heero" Relena said.
Just then, the nurse walked in.
"Miss Relena, the doctor has been informed of your urgent departure and he ordered me
to give this to you" the nurse walked up to her. She padded her skin with a damp alcohol cotton
ball and slowly injected her with opiate.
"What is this for?" Relena asked rather surprised.
"To help you sleep for the rest of the day" the nurse said and smiled.
Relena's eyesight began to get blurry and she laid back on the bed.
The nurse looked towards Heero and said "you can take her now."
Heero nodded and picked Relena up. Relena blushed slightly at the fact of being this
close to him. She could smell the light cologne on him and she lay her head against his shoulder
as he carried her out of the hospital. Outside were lots of security guards, but Relena couldn't
really see that good.
Heero walked over to a black car and one of the guards opened the door for him. He
placed Relena in the passenger seat and put the seatbelt on her. He closed the door, walked
around the car and got in. He turned on the car and they exited hospital area. Relena had her head
leaned on the window and didn't look outside because the speeding objects only made her dizzy.
"Why don't you get some sleep? Its at least an hours drive back to the palace" Heero's
monotone voice instructed.
"I...I can't. This medicine only makes me feel dizzy not sleepy" Relena said weakily.
"Thats a sign that it works fast" Heero said.
Relena sighed and looked down. Heero reached over under her seat and pulled the little
lever. The seat slowly went back and Relena layed down more comfortably.
"Thank you Heero" she said, but of course silence was the only answer received.
She smiled anyways and closed her eyes.
