Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing. If I did I wouldn't be here writing stories, I'd be counting my money. ;)
Gomen! I had a horrible case of writer's block when it came to this chapter.
Author's Note: Wufei is the only one who is telling the flashback story so everything is told from his point of view. And remember his story is told before he has such a great deal of respect for her.
Casualty of War and of the Heart Chapter 8
"Saved your life?" Heero asked in unbelief. "How on..."
"She saved my life too, and Trowa's and Quatra's and Dorothy's, and a whole lot of other peoples too." Duo said.
"Ok, how?" the still unbelieving Heero asked.
"About two years ago, do you remember hearing anything about Miss Relena being shot?" Quatra asked Heero.
"Yea." Heero said. "She got shot by some sniper. I remember, it was all over the news. They didn't think she would make it."
"Well," Wufei said. "Here's what happened. "I was still working for the preventers, with Sally. We happened to be in the same colony as Miss Relena. So we were assigned to the case to protect her. Lady Une had told us about the death treat. Sally and me and a few other preventers were at the building that the peace talk was going to take place"
"So were all of us," Duo added. "For different reasons of course. So when we heard that 'Leane was going to be there we all wanted to hear her speak. I was trying to get a church open at that colony too."
"The circus was there." Trowa said.
"Shopping." Quatra said.
Everyone turned and looked at him. "Shopping?" they all asked.
Quatra blushed. "Not me. Miss Dorothy was shopping, I was there to hear Miss Relena talk. " He informed them.
"Oh," the other ex-pilots said.
"Anyway, we all ended up in the building where Miss Relena was." Wufei said as he continued.
~~~~~Flashback~~~~~
It was before the talk was to begin. We were all back stage at the time. Bored out of our minds. In fact the only reason some of the Preventers were in disbelief that a sniper would even be there. Miss Dorothy was sitting back stage with Marimeia. As was Miss Relena. Sally had just briefed Relena on the situation. Relena wanted to talk to me then.
"So Mr. Change Wufei, someone wants me dead again."
"Yes, onna. Maybe if you spent less time talking about saving everyone from war and more time doing productive things so may people wouldn't want to kill you."
"Mr. Change...."
"Just say Wufei onna."
"Wufei. I would like to ask you to stand with Duo, Trowa and Quatra on the left side of the stage behind the curtain. Just in case anything happens I will know where the four of you are. You four will be the closets to where I am to stand, and it would make me feel safer."
"Fine onna."
"Wufei."
"Yes, onna."
"One day I want to earn your respect so you will call me Relena instead of onna."
"That will be the day you save my life."
She suddenly shoved me to the ground. I sat up dazed for a moment only to see her hold her stomach with one hand and point up to the catwalk with the other hand. I saw a dark figure start to run and I pulled out my gun and shot. My shot killed the guy and he fell to the ground. Later we found out he had wired the whole building to blow up. If Relena hadn't pointed up to him we would have missed him and we would all be dead. Relena collapsed into my arms.
"Well, Wufei? Did I save you?"
"Yea, Miss Relena. I'm sorry for calling you onna for so long."
She smiled at me then closed her eyes. I held her in my arms as Sally began to save her life. We had to get her out of the building but the hospital was too far away, lucky Quatra had a house in that colony and it was close by. We took Relena there and Quatra fixed her up. It was good fortune that Quatra is a doctor. No one saw Miss Relena for three weeks, no one but Quatra. Once Quatra said she could leave I became her personal body guard.

"So as you see I have held her in my arms twice as she was dying. Twice! And you, you come here flaunting your little friend knowing it was breaking her heart! How dare you!" Wufei said as he jumped at Heero.
"Look Relena invited me and Sylvia to come after I sent her that letter." Heero managed to say as Wufei was choking him.
"Yea, we read the letter, real heartless Heero. Asking her to find us and tell us about Sylvia for you." Duo said angrily.
"What are you talking about Duo. The letter I sent her didn't have anything about you guys in it. It was a four page letter explaining why I was marring Sylvia." Heero said.
Wufei let go of Heero. And looked into his eyes. Heero was a perfect solider, taught to lie. But Wufei knew Heero wasn't lying about this.
"Then who sent the other letter?" Quatra asked.
"That's what we're going to find out," Wufei said.
