My Hero, Chapter 4
'Oh, god!' Relena said to herself, as she raced out of bed. The figure at the door looked up, and saw that Relena was running away. He quickly gathered his tools, and climbed off the balcony.
Relena raced threw the hallways of the mansion, stopping at her brother and sister-in-law's bedroom door for a quick breath. She pounded on the door, and opened it.
"Milliardo, he's back!" Relena said, as she ran towards the bed.
"Huh...?" Zechs said, just waking up. Noin, who was sleeping next to him, turned over to face Relena.
"Who's back?"
"That guy! He was..."
"What?! Where is he?" Zechs exclaimed, jumping out of bed.
"He was at the balcony door trying..." Relena started to say, but again got cut off by her brother.
"I'll kill him!" Zechs rushed out the door, with Relena and Noin following him.
When they reached the bedroom, Zechs turned on the light. "Where is he?"
"He was here... I saw him." Relena said, walking towards the balcony.
"No, stay here."
Zechs walked over, and examined the door. "Looks like he got the door unlocked..."
"What? But that means he could be in the house!"
"Maybe he saw you run away, and left," Noin said, reassuring the frightened girl.
"Are you sure...?"
"I am." Zechs said, opening the door and picking up something off the ground. "Looks like he dropped this. He probably did run."
"Sigh... Isn't he ever going to go away?"

"I called you here because of the intruder trying to break into Relena's room," Zechs said, as he paced in front of the couch in the study.
"He's still here? You'd think he'd go away after Relena threw a clock at his head," joked Duo, who was sitting the couch next to Heero.
Zechs looked at Duo, not amused. "This is not a laughing matter. The person trying to get into the room has tried twice already. I doubt he'll quit now. He's already entered and unlocked the door. I think he might be back tonight."
"So why did you call us?"
"Because you knew about this already, and I don't want to make this a major thing with the Preventers. I want to keep this quiet."
"So what do you want us to do?" Heero finally spoke up, keeping quiet up to this point.
"I want you two to keep an eye on Relena, at all times."
"'At all times'?" Duo asked.
"Yes. You two can take shifts looking after her until that man is caught."
"Whoa! What if that man is never caught?"
Zechs looked at Duo, very annoyed by all the questions.
"I am sure that he will come tonight. Prepare all you want until then. Just keep Relena safe." Zechs took one last look at both men on the couch, and left.
"So, who will look after her first?" Duo asked Heero.
Heero got up, and started to leave. "Hey, buddy!"
"Look after her until I come back," Heero said over his shoulder, and walked out the door.
"I guess he wants the night shift," Duo said to himself, smirking.

This chapter is kind of boring, too. Oh well. That's just how it came up. I'll have the next chapter up soon.
