Alternate Sins
Chapter Four
Relena sat in the corner of the dark room hugging her knees to her chest. A light rapping caused her to jump as the door opened.
"Hey, how ya doin?" It was Space her blue green eyes twinkled from the hallway light giving her an eerie expression. She flipped on the light switch causing Relena to squint and adjust her position. Space walked over to Relena and sat on the bed across from her. Relena looked over the young woman picturing her and Duo in…Relena shook her head slightly and pressed the thought out of her mind.
"Space…are you and Duo involved?"
"No, we just like to mess around, we useta be but hell it didn't work out." Relena nodded confused by their actions and her words. Space chuckled to herself and stared at the young politician. "So has the info I gave ya finally sunk in?" Relena nodded numbly staring at the young witch. "You know what you need… a shower, you can take one here and borrow some my clothes, we look about the same size." Relena smiled slightly and then followed Space down the hallway. After stepping into the dark walled bathroom Space handed Relena two towels and shut the door. Relena stared at her reflection in the mirror; she looked tired and thin. She realized she hadn't eaten in awhile, not since Heero had disappeared. She stripped off her clothes and stepped under the warm waterfall of water. She felt a lot of the tension in her shoulders melt away and slide down the drain with the water. She reached for a bottle that had the word shampoo crudely written on it. She sniffed it and her senses were flooded with the scents of wildflowers and freshness. As she poured the oozy liquid into her scalp she breathed in the smell as she massaged it into her hair. After rinsing out the shampoo she applied conditioner that was in the same crude bottle. This time lilacs and vanilla flooded the bathroom causing Relena to sigh as all the muscles in her body went practically numb. Soon Relena felt clean and turned off the stream of water. She wrapped one of the towels around her body and the second around her hair. Slowly she poked her head out and headed for the room she had stayed in. There sprawled out on the bed were some clean clothes. Relena eyes the garments and wrinkled her nose slightly.
She slipped the dark purple tank top over her head and slipped on the black leather pants. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled slightly at the not so innocent appearance. She padded her hair with her towel leaving it slightly damp, enjoying the way it smelled. She walked out of the room and into the main room to see Space levitating in mid air. Relena opened her mouth and screamed breaking Spaces concentration. Space's eyes snapped open and she fell from her position in the air onto her butt hard.
"Ow," she said rubbing her butt while Duo sat in the leather chair rolling in laughter. "Shut it Duo," said Space flipping her hand in his direction. Duo began to choke slightly then coughed glaring at Space. Space only smirked at him and stood from her awkward position on the floor. Relena only stared at her with a frightened expression. "Relena don't tell me you've already forgotten, I'm a witch remember!" Relena just blinked at Space still shaken by the site of her floating. "Damn Relena you look good in my clothes!" Relena looked at herself with a slight smile. It was true she did look different than usual in these clothes. Duo stared at Relena from across the room letting his eyes slide up and down her body.
"Yah 'Josan looking good! You could almost pass for a slayer!" Relena looked at Duo and a flash went through her features that caused Duo to tense. "Oh no I know that look no way!"
"What, what she do, Hello what's the secret?" asked Space looking at Duo and Relena.
"Please Duo, just teach me, Heero will come back for me might as well know how to protect myself!"
"Oh God I think I got it now, Relena are you crazy it's not your place to…to…"Space stopped as she felt Relena's aura change.
"I refuse to teach you Relena, besides you wouldn't be able to handle it…"
"Uh Duo."
"And further more…"
"DUO!"
"WHAT IS IT SPACE!?" Duo stared at Space who was looking nervously at Relena. The young politicians features had changed from there usual girlish façade to a more menacing, womanly glare. Duo sighed and slumped his shoulders. "Fine I'll train you, but the moment I see a weakness and no potential I am stopping you got me!?" Relena smiled slightly and stood up straight.
"Well if she's going to be training with you she'll need more clothes, MALL TRIP," yelled Space grabbing Relena's arm and dragging her out of the door.
Duo sighed and sat back in the leather chair, "I'm soooo going to regret this!"
~~*~~*~~*~~
"AURGH, This is not happening first Mr. Yuy now Miss Dorlian, who's gonna disappear next, I knew that stranger was bad news." Trowa paced back and forth while Wufei screamed through the vid-screen at one of the officers on duty in the bottom half of the mansion.
"What do you mean she's been missing for two days!? This is ridiculous we're the best body guard service around and within the past week and a half we've lost both clients!" Wufei switched off the link before the man could answer. "Trowa they last saw her leaving early yesterday morning with that Maxwell character."
"I told Miss Relena I didn't trust him, I mean just look at him any one could tell he was involved in some sort of sleazy activity." Trowa slammed his fists on his small desk and began to curse. "This is not good at all!"
~~*~~*~~*~~
In a dimly lighted room a blonde boy sat his legs crossed in front of him. His blue eyes flashed open and his head shot up from its lowered position. He stared off into the sky through his window and a sad smile crossed his face. "It's time."
SVX: Time? Time for what you ask! Well I'm not too sure so yah! R&R!!!!
