Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing. If I did I wouldn't be here writing stories, I'd be counting my money. ;)

Authors note: Sylvia has no clue to who Trowa, Duo, Quatra and Dorothy are. That's why she makes the odd comment about them.


Casualty of War and of the Heart Chapter 5


Sylvia smiled as Heero introduced her to Trowa, Duo, Quatra and Dorothy. "Heero how is it that you know Relena's priest and her two body guards and her sister? I though you meet her only a few times during the war." Sylvia remarked after meeting them.

"These are Relena's friends Sylvia," Heero told her. Sylvia then blushed with embarrassment. "I'm sorry" she told them.

"That's ok Miss Noventa," Quatra told her, "Trowa and myself were once soldiers and Duo really is a priest. Dorothy isn't Relena's sister just her friend."

"Please call me Sylvia," she told them all.

"Actually it is good manners to address someone you have just meet by there last name. I believe first names are saved for close friends," a voice called out.

Everyone turned to see Relena and Wufei. Relena looked beautiful in her dress. No dirt had gotten on it at all, thanks to Dorothy who had thought to make the dress stain proof.

"Aunt Relena!" Mariemaia screamed as she ran into Relena's arms. Mariemaia had not been told where Relena had gone and was clueless to the fact she had been in the hospital.

"Well, Mr. Yuy, wont you introduce me to your friend," Relena said coldly as she held Mariemaia.

"Miss Relena Peacecraft, I would like you to meet my fiancee, Sylvia Noventa," Heero replied.

Relena bowed down slightly and smiled. "You are both welcome into my home. But until you are married you must sleep in sperate bedrooms. I hope that's not asking to much," Relena said as she set Marimeia on the ground.

"Oh Miss Relena, that wont be too much," Sylvia said. Noting that after she said that all eyes were on her.

"Marimeia will you please show Miss Noventa to her room," Relena asked the child, fully knowing that Mariemaia was terrified of Heero.

"This way Miss Noventa," the child said as she walked out of the room.

Heero nodded in approvement and Sylvia left.

"Dorothy please join me in my office, we have some matters to discuss in there," Relena told her friend.

"Yes, Miss Relena," Dorothy called as her and Relena walked out of the room.

"Will you be all right Miss Relena?" Wufei called out to her. She nodded and Wufei walked into the living room and shut the door.



Dorothy stopped Relena midway up the stairs, "Miss Relena you know that the Gundam pilots are going to tear him limb from limb. You might as well of thrown him into a hungry lions den." Dorothy told Relena

"Yes, I know," the pacifist Queen said. "Sometimes Dorothy others must dirty their hands in order to justify the spilt blood of the innocent."
