Chapter 4- Reminiscing, part 2

(Author's note: The little "" marks are put around a person's thoughts, k?)

As quick as Eterna appeared, Shinsei's anger had gone out like dying
flames. Quickly regaining her composure, she turned to Eterna and asked
"Are you sure?"

"What do you mean 'am I sure'?! OF COURSE I'M SURE!!!" Eterna exclaimed.

"Well, you have made many errors in the past," Shinsei commented.

While taking a quick glance at the 5 young men (who were spectating the whole event), Shinsei took one step forward toward Eterna, wearing a glare that could stop anyone's blood in their veins. Eterna, on the other hand, looked as if she was used to this treatment and simply sighed.

"By the way, which Relena was it?" Shinsei inquired suddenly. "Was it vice foreign minister Darlian or Selene?"

You could tell just by looking at Eterna that she was confused. Hell, even Shinsei lost Heero back there. Everyone just stared at her with blank looks plastered on their faces, but just as swift as Shinsei was, Eterna gained her composure back like the burst of a new flame.

"Sorry... kinda lost my head there. It was Selene, not our little foreign minister."

"We better get on this right away, and we should-"

Now, during this little time of debate...(well more like before, but anyways) didn't I mention that Heero had regained an unexpected emotion that had returned to his eyes? Well, unfortunately, that feeling had faded. His blue eyes that once had contained emotions had returned to the cold blue eyes of a perfect soldier. A soldier that knew nothing of love and feelings, even after the war had ended. His head did ponder some thoughts though...

Vice foreign minister Darlian or Selene? What did Shinsei mean? Are there 2 Relena's out there? Relena's not a very common name, but well after becoming a public idol, it's not surprising... But still, something bothers me on this... Selene.. Selene... The name of the goddess of the moon. Wait, why am I thinking about this anyways? Relena... God I've got to stop thinking for a while...

"Well guys, we're sorry to bother you with this, so we'll just go now, ok?" Eterna stated, interrupting the Japanese boy's thoughts.

The group re-said their good-byes and departed for good. The group of 5 pilots had walked up one way of the street while the 2 girls had strolled down the other way. Shinsei had simply asked for someone to cover her tables for her and exited. No pissed off comments from the manager, which was very quite odd....

The former pilots just looked at the girls walking swiftly down the road.

"That was... really somethin wasn't it?" Duo commented nervously.

"Quite, by the way how is she related to you Duo?" Quatre asked curiously.

"Well, she looked after me when I was young..."

"Kinda like an older sister?"

"Yeah, I guess you could say that. There's something about her though... something strange that I just can't put my finger on... Oh well, we should- Heero?!"

Before anyone could stop say anything more, Heero had gone down the street with only one thing, or more like person on his mind. Relena.

Something about what Shinsei said... something just that doesn't make any sense...

With much reluctance and twice the amount of sighing, the rest of the 4 that were deserted by Heero followed him towards the pair that were obviously conversing on something...

Heero couldn't catch much before they walked away from him other than warning glances, but he did catch enough to make a decisive move.

"...I can't believe you let that slip!"

"...I know, I know... thanks for covering me up back there."

"...No problem, but we REALLY have to work on that 'cover up' thing though..."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah...."

"... Relena's house then?"

With enough info to lead on, Heero and his somewhat reluctant friends made their way to the Peacecraft mansion, where Relena had been previously known to have been staying. As they approached the towering building, they heard Eterna's voice echo through the midst of the trees in the front yard.

"Where in the name of the Goddess have you been young lady?!" Eterna scolded, as if Relena was her own daughter.

"Wait, don't tell me... you were with Odin, rite? Of all the...!"

Heero's head refused to hear anymore. For some reason unknown to him, he simply couldn't take it as his heart shattered into a thousand pieces, like a glass shattering into a million shards.
