Part Seven
Mr. Crystal continued to move his fingers around her cheeks. Relena couldn't help, but try and turn away, but it never worked...he had her...he had her well!
"Mr. Crystal, let Heero go....you don't need him....like you said, you need me..." Relena whispered. Mr. Crystal let go and moved back...his eyes reading her like a book.
"Really...Miss Relena Peacecraft...risking her life for Heero's?!" Mr.Crystal chuckled a little and peered over to his men. "Well, you heard her....let her..."
"RELENA?! Where are you?!" Hilde's voice rung out.
"Dammit! Now listen to me Heero and Relena...you mention anything to your friends...you wish that you were never born! GOT IT??!!!" He cried quietly.
"RELENA...answer us!!" Sally's voice boomed through the boat's hallway. Mr.Crystal's men pulled on Relena and Heero more and Heero grunted while Relena strained in pain. *How could Mr.Crystal do this to me....and Heero?!* She thought looking at him.
"GOT IT??!!!" He cried more.
"Y...yes..." She whispered as she fell to the ground relieved after the men let her go. Before she hit...Heero caught her. Relena was so tired she didn't even notice that Heero caught her.

"Relena?" Dorothy's voice ehoed in her head.
"Huh? Where am I?" Relena slightly moved and groaned a little. *Was this all a dream?* She asked herself getting up a little to see 7 pairs of eyes stare at her. She flushed a little.
"You're in your room on the boat..." Hilde replied smiling.
"Oh...What happened?" Relena asked looking to Heero, who continued to look back at her....emotionless.
"Heero said you felt a little sick and collapsed...he felt your head and you felt hot...I guess you got a little sea sick, but you seem to be alright now..." Duo replied looking towards Hilde who nodded.
"Oh...yea, it's like me sometimes...I get little dizzy on a boat for the first day, but I get better...so don't worry.." Relena smiled casually getting up. *Thank you Heero...I owe you one* She thought to herself.
"Relena, are you still in the mood to go to the pool?" Catherine smiled.
"Well, I have a headache and I doubt I'll be able to make it, but trust me, tomorrow, I'll do a lot with you guys!" She winked.
"Okay...Well, it's getting late anyhow, we better go!" Dorothy sighed walking towards the door, Trowa, Catherine, WuFei, Sally and Quatre nearby.
"Thank you all for taking care of me...I'm terribly sorry to worry you all....but I'll feel better tomorrow...okay?!" Relena smiled.
"It's okay Relena, we understand...right WuFei?!" Sally looked at him.
"I still think she had too much to drink....knowing her...." WuFei looked back at Sally who smiled dumbly and then gave Relena 'Im sorry' look and Relena who totally understood nodded as an okay back to her.
"Well, let's go! I feel icky..." Catherine opened the door as she waved goodbye and everyone piled out one by one leaving Heero, Hilde, Duo and her in the room.
"So...Hilde want to run to the bar and get a drink?" Duo asked smiling.
"Sure, is it okay with you Relena and Heero?" Hilde asked winking to Relena who flushed a light red and Heero who nodded.
"Great! Come on Hilde!" Duo cried grabbing her hand and dragging them out the door...Hilde waved and winked smiling. As soon as the door shut behind them, the room was silent.
"Heero...I..."
"Relena, don't say anything. I saved you from them and now I feel ... feel...." Heero stuttered for a first time in his life. *What did I do to you Heero?!*
"Heero, it isn't your fault...I should have checked on this Mr.Crystal guy first before letting my mind drag us into this! Now I'm afraid to even step outside the door without being watched!" Relena fell back on the bed.
"I know Relena...I wish I could kill him! Make him suffer...but something about him makes me want to stop...stop in my tracks and think...Do I really want to kill him?!" Heero placed his hands on his head and shook it violently. He was going mad.
"Heero, don't! You'll hurt yourself..." Relena stood up running to him and grabbing his wrists. "It's my fault...all my fault...I have to do this on my own!" She smiled but tears filled her eyes when Heero looked at her.
"Relena, you can't...not by yourself...you're..."
"too weak??!! Is that what you really think of me Heero??!!! WEAK??!!" Relena cried running to the bathroom.
"Relena...I..." Heero followed her, but Relena turned around...furious.
"Heero..don't say anything...it won't help! You think you're soo bad because you're a gundam pilot...you always felt as if you were the strongest while others were weak and useless to you! LOOK AT ME HEERO!!" Relena cried. He looked up into her eyes. The eyes she would collapse for at any moment. "Why??!!! WHY HEERO??!!" She exclaimed falling to her knees sobbing.
"Relena...I know you feel like this, but it's not that...I don't want you to get hurt..." He calmly remarked backing away a bit. Relena looked up at him...tears strolling down her cheeks. *He cares...he cares for me, like I care for him....Heero...* She smiled, but finally gave away as she layed on the ground crying into the carpet. *He cares*
"Thank you Heero..." she sniffed.
Mr. Crystal continued to move his fingers around her cheeks. Relena couldn't help, but try and turn away, but it never worked...he had her...he had her well!
"Mr. Crystal, let Heero go....you don't need him....like you said, you need me..." Relena whispered. Mr. Crystal let go and moved back...his eyes reading her like a book.
