She Fought for His Sake
Chapter One
The noise... the horribly irritating noise... I want it to stop. The smooth beeping of the Heart Monitor, I hate it. Why can't it stop? No.. it can't stop.. if it does... she'll die. Why... why did it have to be her? Who could have been so irresponsible as to let this happen?
Me..
I was the irresponsible one... I let this happen.. this is all my fault, if I had only been there for her.
Zechs stood there, near the hospital bed where his dear friend, Lucrezia Noin lay. He couldn't think straight. Why? Why her? Why did this have to happen to her? Of all people? Why to such a kind and caring person such as herself? "Please open your eyes..." He hardly whispered, placing his hand on her forehead and closing his eyes.
"Excuse me," Relena Peacecraft asked, leaning her elbows on the desk as one of the nurses quickly made her way to answer her.
"Yes?" The nurse asked.
"Can you tell me what room Lucrezia Noin is in?"
"She's in room 143, down the hall and to your right."
"Thank you." The young girl said and walked down the hall, followed by Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Sally Po and Quatre Winner. The walls were clean and white and the halls were quiet, not many people around. Relena slowly turned the corner looking at the numbers on the rooms, trying to find the one where Noin was.
"I bet Zechs is here already.." Stated Sally almost positivly, she knew Zechs was always overprotective for Noin and was with her almost everywhere she went. She knew he would be by her side now. Relena nodded.
"I hope Noin-san is alright." Said a worried Quatre.
Relena finaly found the right room and wrapped her fingers around the door, turning the knob and quietly and slowly opening the door.
He didn't hear the door open, his mind was only fixed on her, when he felt a small hand get placed on his shoulder, he blinked a bit and turned his head slightly seeing his younger sister.
"Relena.." he whispered, his expression was a mixture of sadness, anger and worry.
"Are you ok?" she asked, looking down at Noin.
"I'll be alright," He answered back "I'm just.... worried that's all.."
"She'll be alright, she's strong." Relena told her brother reassuringly. He nodded slightly, setting his gaze back to Noin.
Sally looked down at Noin, she looked so pale and weak, Sally had never seen her best friend like this, she was always so strong and full of hope, and now she was laying there, hardly breathing. Sally wanted to believe she would come out ok, but as she stood there, seeing Noin in her bad condition, it was pretty hard. She sighed and turned back to Relena. Heero stepped forward.
"I know she'll be ok." He stated trying not to change his emotion, although he was worried as the others were, but as usual, he tried to hide it.
"She's not the type to give up so easilly, if she was strong enough to protect the Sanc Kingdom, then she surely has the strength to get through this."
He leaned back against the wall, crossing his arms and growing silent once again.
Relena looked to Zechs really seeing how worried he actually looked. She had never seen him look this bothered about anything before. He had such a pained look in his eyes, Noin was practically the only close friend he had, besides Heero and the other pilots who had moved into the Sanc Kingdom with them, but he never really conversed with them.
"We really should be going." Said Relena.
Duo turned to Zechs. "Are you coming?" He didn't hear him, but kept his thoughts on Noin.
"Zechs?" He turned his head to him, shaking it.
"No, you all go ahead..."
"Are you sure you'll be ok?" Asked Sally, still worried about him.
"I'll be fine." He answered as reassuringly as he could force himself to. They headed to the door and exited, Zechs sat in a chair next to her bed, burying his head in his hands and letting out a deep sigh.
They walked down the halls toward the exit. Before they exited the hospital building, Relena turned and once again, thanked the nurse at the front desk. They all walked through the fairly large parking lot and approached Sally's van. Sally took out a set of keys and unlocked the van, everyone climbing in. Sally started up the engines and took off back toward the Sanc Kingdom. Relena broke the silence everyone held.
"I'm worried about my brother. This must really be hurting him...."
"He must really care for Noin-san." Quatre half muttered.
Relena nodded. "I know he does. There's just something in his eyes when I see them together. I know they both care for eachother but.. "
"They're both just too afraid to let it out." Sally finished for her, knowing as well, this was true.
"Yes." Relena replied.
The rest of the trip home was silent, even as they went inside, no one was in a mood to talk. Relena was up in her room looking out her window, watching the sunset . She looked around at the beautiful scenery of the Sanc Kingdom, once again being reminded of Noin.
(( She helped with all her might to protect this country, we might not have made it without her encouraging us to move on... ))
She leaned her chin on the windowsill continuing to watch the horizon..
"I wonder if Milliardo is on his way home." She whispered to herself.
(( Milliardo is also getting hurt through this. He never gets close to anyone and Noin was the only one he could really open up to. ))
Wufei was in his room, he heard the others come back in, but knew things musn't have gone too well by their silence. He never had any cares about women except for Meiran, but after staying with Noin, Sally, Relena and the others, he had found out that they too were capable of having strong wills.
(( An injury cannot possibly take her down. If she can put up with me then she can get through this no problem. ))
"Excuse me." The nurse said, peering into the room at Zechs. "But visiting hours are over in five minutes, and you'll have to leave.
He nodded in response. The nurse turned, closing the door behind her. Zechs turned back to Noin, grasping her hand lightly. She layed there, unmoving, just the weak rise and fall of her chest. Zechs slowly turned around and exited the room.
Relena heard the door open downstairs, she knew it was her brother. "I hope he's ok." She whispered, walking to her door and opening it quietly. She peered out and looked downstairs, it was dark and the lights werent on but she could see that it was Zechs. She watched as he walked over to the couch and sat down, not bothering to turn on the light. She heard him sigh and bow his head.
(( He'll be ok. ))
She turned and walked back to her room, closing the door as quietly as she opened it and sat on her bed.
Zechs sat there in the darkness of the room, staring blankly to the floor. Why was he acting this way? He was so worked up over this.
(( Because she could die, and your nothing without her. ))
He layed back on the couch, not bothering to go up into his room. Why was he so worried? He was always so in control with his feelings and emotions, he was never really this worried about anything this much.
(( You love her that's why. ))
He closed his eyes acknowledging that this was true, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Relena was walking out of her room, making her way to the kitchen, where Quatre was serving breakfast. She walked down the stairs and saw Zechs sleeping on the couch. He didn't even bother to get changed or go to his room last night. She walked into the kitchen to have breakfast with the rest.
"Where's Zechs?" Asked Hilde, setting herself in one of the chairs.
"He's still sleeping." She said, gathering a few plates.
"Poor guy, he must have gotten home late last night." Said Cathrine.
Relena nodded. "He came in pretty late last night. He needs rest though, he's been through a lot already."
"Yea. just don't say anything about Noin or we'll upset him more." Added Sally also taking a seat.
They all started breakfast, while Zechs was still sleeping in the living room.
