Authors Note: Lady Une is singing Roberta Flack's Killing Me Softly
Casualty of War and of the Heart Chapter 9
Mariemaia felt something cold touching her face. She could hear someone singing softly.
"Strumming my pain with is fingers, singing my life in his words, killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song," the voice sang softly.
Mariemaia moaned. She started to hear other sounds. The sound of birds, water. She could feel a gentle breeze on her face. Then she heard voices.
"She's waking up," a male voice said.
"Good for a moment there I was worried" a female voice said.
"Mariemaia, wake up." Another female voice said. That was the one that had been singing.
Mariemaia opened her eyes to see Miliardo and Noin looking down at her. Her head was in someone's lap. She turned her head to see Lady Une.
"Lady!" Mariemaia said as she sat up. "What happened?"
Lady Une smiled at the child and handed her back her music box. "I saw you out here and came up beside you. I was looking at your music box when you finally turned to see me. It look like you were going to scream so Miliardo put his hand over your mouth. Then you fainted." Lady Une explained to her.
"Well, now that your awake why don't we go into the house, its dinner time," Miliardo said.
Miliardo led Noin back to the house, holding her hand the whole way there. Mariemaia stood up as did Lady Une. Lady Une held her hand out for Mariemaia to hold and they walked back to the house.
"Lady, that song you were singing? Is it true? Can someone really kill you with a song?" Mariemaia asked.
"You never know Mariemaia, You never know," the woman answered. "Now come one lets get something to eat. Then I will tell you some more about Mr. Treize."
"Ok" the little girl said as they walked back to the house.
Inside the dining room the five ex-Gundam pilots had began eating their dinner. There was plenty of food pilled all over the table, and all over Duo's plate. Sylvia Noventa had just left the wash room and entered. Heero gestured to a seat next to him at the end of the table and she sat. The ex-Gundam pilots sat on the other side of the table with Wufei close to the head of the table.
"I will go remind Miss Relena and Miss Dorothy that it is dinner time," Wufei said as he looked at his side of the table. He refused to look over at Sylvia's direction.
"Heero, does he work for Relena?" Sylvia asked quietly.
"Call her Miss Peacecraft, until she tell you otherwise. Wufei does work for Relena but he is also a good friend of hers." Heero answered.
"Please Miss Noventa, help yourself. Miss Relena prefers that we eat before she gets her because sometimes she is so busy she forgets about dinner. Anyway you really want to get something on your plate before Duo eats everything." Quatra told her.
Miliardo entered with Noin and they sat down. Soon after that Lady Une and Mariemaia came in and sat down. Heero introduced Sylvia to Lady Une, Miliardo and Noin. The table was almost full. Only three empty chairs were at the table. Those chairs would soon be filled by Wufei, Dorothy and Relena. As for the rest of the table this was the way everyone sat. Lady Une was at the very end of the table, with Sylvia at her right and Duo on her left. Next to Sylvia was Heero, then Noin, then Miliardo and then Mariemaia. Next to Duo sat Trowa, then Quatra. There were two empty chairs after that and then the head of the table which was also empty. The room was full of people talking and eating and having a good time.
Wufei softly knocked on the door to Relena's office. He had calmed down a lot since he had yelled at Heero. He knocked again and noticed that he had cut his knuckles. 'Probably when you pinned that baka to the door' he thought. Wufei knocked once more. 'If I count the three and she doesn't answer I'm going in.' he thought. 'one, two, three.' Wufei opened the door to see Relena crying as Dorothy held on to her.
"Miss Relena!" Wufei said as he ran into the room.
"She's ok Wufei, she just needed to get it all out." Dorothy told him.
Wufei stopped at Relena's desk. He picked up the picture that had been there. He couldn't help but notice the huge spider web crack between Relena and Heero. Dorothy got up as Wufei placed the photo back.
"I'm going to get something to eat Miss Relena, you should do the same." Dorothy said as she left the room closing the door behind her.
Wufei walked over to Relena, she had stopped crying but her eyes were all still red.
"Wufei, you should be down stairs eating, not up here." Relena told him
"Miss Relena, I hate him for this, but I have to tell you something. Heero says the letter you received wasn't from him."
"I gave it to Lady Une to look at. I never believed he would write me such a cold hearted letter. You know part of me wants to believe that he still loves me." Relena said.
"Please Miss Relena, come eat something." Wufei begged.
"No, I will eat later. I want to talk to Heero, alone. I am going to my room. When he is done eating, tell him to come see me." Relena said.
"Yes, Miss Relena," Wufei said sadly as he walked out.
'Could Dorothy be right? Could Wufei actually have feelings for me?'
