~*~Chapter 2~*~


*~*I was told to assasinate you, Relena...*~*

Heero sighed heavily and gratefully as he arrived at Dr.J's laboratory in the L1 Colony from a three hour ride through space from Earth. He plowed a hand through his hair and stepped through the front metal sliding doors of the laboratory and slowly began to make his way towards his room.

Heero reached behind him and pulled out his gun. He checked it to make sure it was fully loaded and after seeing for himself, he tucked it back into the back of his tight jeans, making sure that the handle was in easy reach. Heero watched as some of Dr.J's assistants walked past him as he slowly made his way down the dimly lit hall.

" Ahh... Heero Yuy. I see you've finally come home.. ", Dr.J spoke from behind Heero as he walked towards him.

Heero snorted and turned around to face the old man, " Well... we did what you and Solo wanted us to do, and that was to override the main system down in section 23190 on Earth. We did just that, but the building somehow blew up on us... ", he explained in his usual monotone voice.

Dr.J scratched his jaw, " Hmm... very interesting. Well, I wouldn't know how that happened. But, onto more important things... I'd like you to meet a new student. I -- "

" Whoa, whoa, whoa!! New... student? Who is he? ", Heero demanded, distaste already dripping with each word as he scowled deeply.

Dr.J frowned, " Not a him, Heero... a SHE.... ", he corrected the young man gently.

" Well? Does SHE have a name? Why is she here? "

Dr.J cleared his throat, " Follow me... unless you don't... want to meet her... "

Heero snorted and crossed his arms over his chest, " Hn... I might as well meet her. Sooner or later, I'm going to bump into her in the hallways or in the showers... "

Dr.J nodded and brushed past him to quickly walk down the hall towards the library, " She's in here... unless she took off.... "

Heero followed him because he wanted to know who this new soldier was. He wanted to see what she looked like, not that he gave a crap, but it was still important to know who an enemy was. Dr.J opened the doors and walked into the library, followed closely by a curious Heero Yuy.

Dr.J found Relena sitting on a windowseat, her long well-toned legs incased in tight black leggings that she hugged to her chest. Her chin was resting on her bent knees as she continued to stare out the window.

" Relena... are you alright, my dear? ", Dr.J asked lightly as he walked over to her, leaving Heero to stare at her, his Prussian blue eyes slightly wider then usual.

Relena blinked out of her dreamworld and looked over at Dr.J. She shrugged lightly, " I'll live... ", was all she said in a cool monotone voice like Heero's before turning her attention on Heero himself.

" Who are you? ", Relena demanded as she slid off the windowseat with cat-like grace.

Heero narrowed his eyes slightly, " The name's Heero Yuy. Who are you? ", he shot back.

Dr.J looked at Relena, then at Heero, then back at Relena, " Now, now children. There's no need to fight like this. "

They both ignored the doctor and continued to glare at each other. They both looked like they were ready to pounce on one another at any moment.

" Name's Relena. Are you Dr.J's assistant? ", she asked him as she eyed him.

' Ugh! Distasteful... jeans... very tight?! How the hell can he manage to walk in those? They hug every muscle... Loose green tank top... ha! Loose my ass... it's not loose, it clings to his upper torso muscles like a second skin practically... weird! This man had to be about my age, and Dr.J calls him an assistant!? ', Relena thought as she crinkled her small nose at the thought.

Heero eyed her back, ' So, this is J's ner soldier? Hmph!! Rather... pathetic if you ask me. Look at her! She probably doesn't even know how to pilot a Gundam yet.... and he calls her a new soldier? I make a better soldier then this... weakling does. Look at her... her clothes... could they be any tighter? ', he thought as his eyes strayed on her breasts that were perfectly defined in the skin tight black sleeveless turtleneck.

Dr.J looked at Heero's completely shocked expression, " Don't worry, my boy! You're just going to give her a short tour of our facilities and then you're going to show her to her quarters... "

Relena smirked at Heero, " Oh... goodie!! ", she muttered loudly, her tone completely sarcastic.

Heero looked at her and scowled as he narrowed his eyes again, " And... I'm doing this... why?! "

Dr.J looked at Heero and then turned to leave, " Because... I think you two will make a perfect team.. ", he replied simply over his shoulder as he disappeared behind the sliding doors that led into the hallway.

Dorothy frowned lightly and looked at Quartre, " So... have you guys called Heero up yet? "

Quartre Raberba Winner looked at Dorothy and nodded, " Yes. Trowa's doing that as we speak... ", he informed her lightly.

Dorothy smiled gently at the Arabian and nodded, " That's a good thing to hear. I just still can't believe that they're all dead... "

" But one, Dorothy... all, but one... ", he finished for her.

" Who do you think got away? "

Quartre shrugged lightly, " I'm not sure... remember, I don't know the Peacecrafts at all... only you do. "

Dorothy frowned and crossed her arms over her chest, " Oh... poor Relena. Please let it have been Relena who escaped... ", she prayed outloud.

" It's going to be alright, Dororthy... ", Quartre soothed her as he walked over to her and placed an arm around her shoulders.

Dorothy shook her head, " It's not going to be alright! I've known Relena since we were very little... she's been like the sister that I never had... she can't be dead! She just can't be... ", she almost shouted as tears slid down her cheeks.

Quartre bit his lip. He didn't like it when Dorothy cried or was sad. He brought her trembling body close to his and held her close and tight, smoothing back her pale blonde hair from her face and wiping away the tears the sparkled down her cheeks, " Hush... it's going to be alright, Dorothy. I swear to you... I don't think Miss Relena's dead.... ", he whispered against her temple.

Dorothy buried her face in the crook of his neck and sniffled lightly as she wrapped her arms around and held him to her, " I hope you're right, Quartre... I hope you're right... "

" Hey... what'd we miss? ", Trowa called from the doorway as he walked into the room.

Catherine followed him into the room and went to sit down on the soft, leather couch, " Are you alright, Dorothy? "

Dorothy lifted her head from Quartre's chest and looked at the other girl. She nodded, " Y-yes... please, you don't have to worry about me.. "

Catherine smiled lightly, " You're a good friend, of course I'm going to worry about you... "

Dorothy nodded, " I'm grateful, Catherine... very grateful. "

Trowa looked into Quartre's aqua eyes and frowned, " I couldn't get through... "

Dorothy looked at Trowa, " What do you mean? "

Trowa directed his eyes to Dorothy's, " I couldn't get a secure line to the L1 Colony to contact Heero. I also tried his dorm on Earth, but all I got was his room mate... "

Dorothy sighed heavily, " I guess she is dead.... "

Quartre shook his head, " Don't go believing it just yet, Dorothy... we still can hope. "

Catherine nodded, " Yeah... don't worry about it, Dorothy. Relena's still alive... and I'm pretty sure now, that Heero didn't kill her or the other Peacecrafts... "

Dorothy frowned and nodded, not saying anything as she continued to stand in the security and confort of Quartre's arms.

Trowa sighed and went to sit down beside Catherine. She leaned over and rested her head against his arm, " I really hope that Relena's alright... "

***

Heero groaned loudly and ran a hand over his face as Relena crossed her arms over her chest and looked at him, " Well? ", she asked impatiently.

" Well what?! ", Heero snapped.

Relena blinked and narrowed her eyes, " You were told to give me a tour of the L1 Colony and then show me to my room.... I expect that you're going to do it too! "

Heero rolled his eyes and looked at her, " I'm sure you already know what's around this place anyway, so there's no need for me to have to show you. "

Relena scratched her jaw lightly and then ran a hand through her long dark blonde hair, sending it back over her shoulders, " You have to though, Heero! I need to know where everything is... "

Heero stared at her, " ....Hn.... "

Relena sighed and threw her arms up into the air, letting out a little exasperated cry escape her lips as she marched towards the doors, clamping her hand onto Heero's left arm, just above the elbow, " Come on, Romeo!! ", she hissed as she began to drag him to the doors.

Heero felt a strange current run from her hand through his body. He quickly wrenched his arm from her grasp and stopped. Relena whirled around to face him, hands on her curvy hips, " What the hell are you doing? Let's go... "

Heero didn't say anything as he brushed past her and headed out into the hallway, leaving Relena to stare after him. He frowned in annoyance and slowed his pace to a halt, " Well? Let's go if you want to get this over with! ", he snapped at her over his shoulder, causing her to slowly walk towards him.

Relena clasped her hands behind her back and walked beside Heero, her head down, " Fine! "

Heero glanced over at her and then rolled his eyes as he began his tour of the L1 Colony laboratory. About half an hour later they stopped in front of her door, " Here is your... room... ", he coolly informed her as he glanced up at the number on the door.

' Twenty-three... ', he thought.

Relena looked at him and nodded, " I noticed... it's not like I haven't been here before. But... whatever, thank you, Heero Yuy for that little tour... that last half an hour. I'm going to retire now... goodbye... ", she said coolly as she left him to stare after her as she disappeared behind the sliding door to her room.

***

Dr.J sighed heavily as he sat down in his chair in his office. He scratched his balding head and then leaned his head back against the cushioned chair and closed his eyes behind the small black googles. The whoosing of his slid door caused him to open an eye and watch as Heero slowly walked into his office, a completely confused expression on his face.

" What can I do for you, Heero? ", J asked lightly as he opened both his eyes and lifted his head from the back of the chair.

Heero blinked and then snorted, " How and when did Relena become one of your... pupils? ", he demanded.

Dr.J chuckled and then went serious, " You really want to know? "

Heero nodded, " Yes. "

Dr.J gestured to the chair in front of his large desk, " Sit... "

Heero shook his head, " No... I prefer to stand... "

Dr.J shrugged, " Your choice. But.... Relena's been brainwashed... "

Heero blinked, " Excuse me? "

Dr.J nodded, " Yes. I brainwashed her... "

Heero slowly sank down into the chair that was once offered and leaned forward, " How? When? "

" Just today actually. It was very early this morning when I heard about them going over to the Sanc Kingdom to assasinate the entire Peacecraft family, including her foster mother, and I hopped onto a shuttle that was on it's way to the Earth. I arrived at the Sanc Kingdom too late though... "

Heero cocked an eyebrow, " Go on... "

" I arrived a little late after lunch to find Relena stumbling around the Sanc Kingdom, calling out her brother's name everynow and then. It was on fire, and I also found her entire family tied to crosses in the front of the mansion of the Sanc Kingdom that, obviously her and her family once occupied. That's when I decided to take her in and do what I did to her... ", he explained.

Heero frowned, " So... you brainwashed her? "

J nodded, " Yes. I had to, Heero. She would've made an excellent Gundam Pilot... "

" Why? She doesn't even probably know how to shoot a gun. "

Dr.J shook his head, " That's not true... "

" What do you mean by that? "

" I implanted over three years of severe trainging into her mind.... after I brainwashed her that is... "

Heero's eyebrows shot up in surprise, " How could you do that? It isn't right for her.... ", suddenly coming to her defense.

Dr.J's thin, white brows came up, " Heero Yuy? Defending a girl who he's never met? "

Heero snorted and waved away his surprise, " I'm not defending her, I'm just saying that it's not right for you to have gone and done what you did. "

" Does it really matter, Heero? It shouldn't matter to you at all... "

Heero looked down at the ground through the crack in his legs, " Whatever.... "

Dr.J watched the young man, " What's the matter, Heero? "

Heero shook his head, " Nothing really... just wondering why she's so... cold, and emotionless... "

" Like you? ", Dr.J said with a light chuckle.

Heero's head snapped up and he glared at the doctor, " Yeah... I guess you could say that... "

" Yeah... she's like you basically, only she hasn't had as much training as you have had. Please... don't you go and tell her who she really is, it'll ruin it all. "

Heero stood up from his chair and went to leave the room, " Sure... you said she was Peacecraft... am I right? "

Dr.J nodded, " Yes... only the Peacecrafts live in the Sanc Kingdom... ", he pointed out.

Heero nodded once and left the room in silence...

***

The room was quiet as he entered it and moved silently through the shadows to his laptop that rested on his desk in the far corner of the large room. Heero sat down in the chair and flipped it on. He sighed lightly and scratched his head as he waited for his laptop to warm up.

' So... she's not exactly a soldier as I had suspected... '

The dark room was dimly lit up from the glare of light that the screen gave off. Heero reached down and began to go onto the search to find out who Relena Peacecraft really was. He typed in her name and waited impatiently for the stats to pop up on the screen. When they finally did, seconds later, he slowly read them outloud in a quiet voice to himself.

Name: Relena Peacecraft
Age: 17 years old
Eye Colour: Light blue
Hair Colour: Dark Blonde
Height: 5'3''
Weight: 104 lbs
Background: Relena is the daughter of the deceased King Peacecraft, the leader of the fallen Sanc Kingdom. After her parents assassination, she was adopted by Mr. Darlian; a rich peace ambassador, who had been an aide of King Peacecraft. Mr. Darlian was assassinated on Relena's second trip to the Colonies, and it was then when he revealed her realidentity to her with his last breaths.
Current Status: Queen of the World, Vice Foreign Minister Darlian, Citizen


Heero frowned deeply and his eyes strayed on the status; Queen of the World, " Well... would you look at that? Queen of the World... ", he muttered under his breath. " But... now, she's called the Bitch Queen of the World in my books... "

There was a light flashing in the right far bottom corner of his screen as a little noise floated through the speakers, " You've got mail! "

Heero quirked an eyebrow and clicked on it. Duo's grim face came onto the screen and he looked at Heero, " How you doing, Heero? ", he asked as he waved a hand in the air at him.

Heero snorted and glared at him, " Bad... pissed at the moment. Why would you care? ", he asked as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Duo frowned, " Because... you're a friend! Duh!! But... why are you pissed? "

" Why did you call? ", Heero retorted.

Duo's eyes shot up in the air and he whistled, low and deep, " Wow... something's really eating at you. I called because Solo has a little job for us... "

Heero looked at him, suddenly uninterested, " And what would that be now, Duo? It's not some big set-up now is it? "

Duo shook his head, " No... I don't think this one is. It's not that hard to do either.... unless we have to get rid of the body and blood... ", he added in a low voice.

Heero's dark brows shot up in surprise, " Go on.... "

" Solo wants us to find and assasinate Relena Peacecraft.... "

Heero jumped up from his chair, whipped out his gun and held it clutched in one hand at his side, " Let me on this one... I'll have it done by morning. "

Duo blinked, completely startled, " W-what?! How? "

Heero suddenly smirked at him, " She's here... with me on L1... ", he replied simply.

***

Relena sighed in relief as she plops down on the soft mattress covered Queen-sized bed. She closed her eyes and then opened them again as she stood up from the bed and walked over to her computer on her new desk in the corner of her own room. She sat down on the chair and reached out to turn it on. The sliding doors behind her quickly whoosed open and then whoosed closed as someone silently crept into the room.

Relena suddenly stood up from her chair, but then froze as the hammer of a gun was cocked back. She narrowed her eyes and bit her lip, " I know who you are... and I suggest you leave immediately if you value your life. ", she hissed.

The was a light, low, evil-like chuckling that caused Relena to whirl around and face the person holding the gun pointed at her chest. Relena's mouth fell open and she stared at Heero Yuy with wide eyes, " H-heero!? What the hell are you doing here? With a gun a pointed at me too! ", she demanded as she placed her hands on her hips.

Heero snorted, " Hn... I'm just doing what I was told to do... ", he replied simply in his monotone voice that she hated so much.

Relena frowned, " And what was that, Heero? ", she asked, eyeing the gun, already knowing his answer.

" I was told to assasinate you, Relena... that's my mission, and I'm going to complete it. ", Heero replied confidently.

Relena snorted. She lashed out her foot and kicked the computer chair away and quickly charged at Heero. There was a loud bang that filled the room, followed closely by a loud whissing sound that flew past Relena's ear. The sound of cracking glass caused Relena to groan outloud as the bullet entered Relena's computer screen, causing the room to go in semi-darkness, the only thing providing light was the full moon the shone brightly into her room.

Heero quickly cocked the hammer back again and pointed the gun at Relena's chest as she practically standing right in front of him. He pulled the trigger and watched as her face contorted into a mask of pain...

(A/N**: *waves* .... hehehe.... have fun trying to figure out what happens now... MWUAHAHAHA, I'm sooo evil, I know, I know.... *laughs evilly again before exiting the building* )
