On With the Story!

===Three Hours After the Flu Shot - In Sickness, and In Health==================

Heero's stomach roiled again as they entered Relena's bedroom. He hadn't been feeling well for almost two hours now. Relena was exchanging necklaces when it started, and he raced to the bathroom to try and make it. Relena, on the other hand, didn't even turn, she was used to Heero darting at shadows.

Then the noises reached her ears. It sounded as if someone were vomiting in her bathroom. She spun around, looking to see who caused it. She heard Heero groan from the bathroom. Relena had never seen Heero sick before, but this definitely was sick! She grabbed the mobile phone from her pocket, she hit the speed dial, and number six. "Hello, Yes, I'd like you to cancel all my lectures, meetings, and what not today," she said into the phone.

"But, Miss Relena, why?" said the secretary on the other end.

"Because," came Relena's reply. "I have a sick bodyguard to take care of."

"Of course Ambassador, I'll cancel them," the secretary still sounded a bit shocked as she cancelled the appointments.

===Just Afterwards, Hilde's apartments in the Preventer building - In Sickness and In Health===========================================================

Hilde smiled as she played the phone conversation again. That's an "I do," if I've ever heard one! She dialed Duo's number, and told him the good news.

===24 Hours later, Relena's Preventer Apartments - In Sickness and In Health=======

Heero lay on Relena's bed as she checked his temperature once again. This wasn't a bad way to protect her for twenty-four hours, and I'm going to need to check and see what I had, Exactly. As she pulled the thermometer from his mouth for a final time, he slowly stood. "Relena," he said, "I'm healthy now." He moved to the small table in the room, and began strapping on his weapons again.

"Heero, please, just…" she stopped at a knock on the door. She stepped over to it, as Heero stepped into the bathroom. "Hello?" she said as she opened the door.

"Morning Relena!" Duo said cheerfully as he stepped in. Smiling cheerfully he asked, "How was your night?" He already knew she hadn't slept a wink. He had watched through the security cameras, and already had a tape of last night as well.

Relena was silent for a moment. Then she replied, "My night went fine Duo. I was doing some things I enjoy: spending time alone," she paused thinking With someone I love, "and sleeping." When he wasn't vomiting or delirious.

"Good, good," Duo said. He was silent for a moment as Heero came out of the bathroom. As Heero came closer he said "Good morning, He-man! I'm here now, I'll take over!" Heero didn't even say anything as he walked out the door.

===7 and a half hours later - The infirmary at Preventer Headquarters==============

"There you are Relena, That's your flu shot for the next year," the nurse said as she stored her supplies away. She didn't know that the flu shots had been switched.

Relena stood slowly and nodded, "Thank you," She said to the nurse before leaving quietly. She left the infirmary to go back to Duo.

"Alright Rel-sama, let's get you back to Heero, before he kills me for letting someone put a hole in your arm," Duo said smiling.

They hurried back down the hallway to her apartment, where Heero stood waiting outside of the door. "Hey Heero!" Duo said as they approached.

Heero immediately noticed the band-aid in Relena's arm. "Duo, what happened?" He asked sharply.

"Huh?" Duo said, "Oh, the band-aid, just a normal flu shot." Duo started heading off to the security station. He called over his shoulder, "She's all yours now buddy!"

===3 hours after Relena's flu shot, Fancy Restaurant - In Sickness, and In Health=====

Relena just finished her dinner, with Heero, and was getting ready to leave with him, when her stomach began to turn over. Heero saw her look of fright, "What's wrong Relena?"

"My stomach just turned queasy," she responded nervously. They hurried out to the limo, and drove straight home.

As soon as they reached her apartments she darted to the bathroom, and began to throw up. Heero pulled out his cell phone, and spoke to her secretary calmly, "Cancel all of Miss Relena's appointments tomorrow. She won't be leaving her room." The secretary, again thinking this odd, did as she was told.

===12 hours later, Relena's Apartment - In Sickness, and In Health==============

Relena lay on the bed with a high fever. Heero sat beside her quietly, giving her medication, and cold clothes as needed, but never speaking to her, as she had done for him. He didn't know what to say.

===12 hours later, Relena's Apartment - In Sickness, and In Health==============

Relena sat up in bed, she was angry with Heero. He didn't have to go and cancel all my appointments! She thought, For two whole days! Heero wasn't letting her strain herself for the next twenty-four hours, just to make sure she didn't have anything.

Duo walked in slowly to relieve Heero of his body guard duties, "Hey Heero! What ya doing?" Heero barely glanced at the braided boy. "What? Why so quiet today? You're even quieter than usual! Which is saying something!"

"Take good care of her, and don't let her out of her apartment. Alright Duo?" Heero said as he walked out of the diplomat's rooms.

"Of course," Duo said to the shutting door, "But why?"

===2 hours after, Security office - Til Death Do You Part======================

Hilde ran along the tapes, looking for a very specific one. She smiled when she found it. The tape contained an event from a year or so ago. Someone had been shooting bullets at Relena. Heero had, of course, stepped in to take them. "Til death do you part," she muttered searching for the other tape. As she found the one where Relena had taken a hit in the arm after pushing Heero out of the way of the bullet she smiled. After replacing blank tapes with the same labels on them she left quietly. No one needed those old tapes except them. They would not be missed.

===15 minutes later, Duo's room Preventer headquarters - Comparable substitute=====

"Ok," Duo said taking inventory. "Giving the bride away? - Check, we've got the tape of Zechs saying 'Of course.' For Richer, For Poorer? - Check, two audio/visual tapes one of Heero rushing in to buy Relena some candy bars and water, when he was rich and she poor, and he rich; the other one point where she was rich and he poor and she gave him some stuff a few years ago. In Sickness and In Health? - Check, we've got those tapes from the past three days. Til Death Do You Part? - Hilde, babe, where are the two tapes you had to snag?"

Hilde hopped off the bed, and reached into a bag at the foot of it. She produced the two tapes and handed them to him. "Right HERE!" She smiled giggling.

"Til Death Do You Part? - Check! Yeah, we got it ALL, now all we gotta do is get the two idiots to SIGN!" Duo exclaimed.

Hilde smiled secretly, "Leave Rel to me!"

"That means I have to deal with the Ice Man! I don't have any clue how I'll get him to sign!" Duo groaned.

Hilde's secret smile grew wider, "Leave that to me as well." She stood taking the required document, smiled at the other "witnesses" in the room and left.

===The next morning, Hilde's Watch, Relena's office - The Signing==============

Hilde grabbed a pile of papers that required Relena's personal signature and walked into Relena's office. She smiled at Heero. "Morning!" She didn't really expect any response as Heero walked out.

Heero glared at Hilde, she was always so cheerful! He shut Relena's door behind him and went to check the lab results on their virus. Something wasn't quite right here.

===Back in Relena's office - The Signing=================================

"Let's see," Hilde said as Relena finished eating her doughnut. "We've got a few RSVP's and a few laws that you've already agreed to sign. Not to mention the usual junk for what not and so forth." This was the usual routine. Hilde would look through the pile while Relena ate. Hilde began setting stuff in front of Relena in order of importance. The laws first. Then a few other things. Until she knew that Relena was just signing where she pointed. She slipped in the Marriage documents then and kept on going till she got to the RSVP's and called in the Secretary to double check for conflicts and such.

===30 minutes later, Heero's lab, Preventer Headquarters - The Signing============

Heero ran an analysis on his blood, he was looking for any kind of abnormality that was either on accident or purposeful. He found one. A live virus had spread from his upper left arm throughout his body in a matter of an hour. The virus had only been the 24 hour kind, but, it was ODD. Not only was that the injection site, but he also had permanent coverage against an average flu, not many knew this. Now he was sure something was wrong.

===Same time, Relena's office - The Signing===============================

Hilde looked through the documents she had had Relena sign. When she hit the marriage document she put on a surprised look. Relena, who had been watching Hilde as she rehearsed today's speech said "Did we miss something Hilde?"

Hilde looked up, "I'm afraid so. This document also requires the signature of you Chief Bodyguard. Which would be Heero Yuy." She passed the document to Relena. "Look," she said.

Relena took the document wondering what new security measures were being put in. Those were all Heero ever had to sign. As she looked through the legal garble she noticed it was more obscure than ever! She couldn't even figure out what they were doing! Oh well, she tucked it away in her pocket to have Heero sign later.

Hilde smiled secretly as she listened to the rest of Relena's speech.

===7 ½ hours later, Relena's room, Heero's watch - The Signing=================

Heero sat watching Relena as she relaxed from the days work. She rolled her neck and walked into the bath room to change into her night gown. When she walked back out she walked over to her desk and flicked open her brief case. "Heero, something came for you to sign. I'm guessing its more security measures or something," Relena said as she handed the document to him.

He looked it over carefully. He didn't really read it, but he skimmed it looking for words like 'Security' and 'Protection' etc. He finally reached for a pen on the desk beside him and signed it, convinced it was what she said. He handed it back to her and she slipped it into her case again. She walked over and turned out the light saying, "Thank you, Heero. Good Night. See you when I wake up."

His only reply was "Hn." Things were blowing out of his control. Someone had planted a live non deadly virus in him for some unknown reason. Too get him away from Relena? Possibly, but that hadn't worked. Now this new 'Security Measure.' He ALWAYS knew when one was coming, so why didn't he know about this one? He kept his vigilance through the night puzzling over these events.

===The Next Morning, Duo's Watch, Relena's Office - The Signing=============

"Ok," Relena said as she looked over the documents. "I needed to get Heero to sign this yesterday. Could you have my secretary file it, please?" She said to Duo handing the obscure marriage document to him.

Duo took it and started to read it, He smiled "YES!" Relena looked up at him startled. "I mean, Yes of course Princess." Duo amended. Smiling, he walked out, made an appearance of checking the hallway as he tucked the note into his pocket and slipped back into the room. "All finished. Are we off another round of boring speeches today?" He asked her as they walked out to the car.

===Later that Day, Heero's Dinner Watch, Preventer Headquarters================

Dorothy walked into Une's office she had just finished feeding him. She was also on assignment to find Preventer Wind. She smiled at the irony of life. "Lady Une, I have some information on my case that I thought you should hear personally, but we need to use the… secure room."

Une looked up from her desk. She smiled. "Of course Dorothy," Lady Une said smiling. She stood and lead the way to the transmission less room.

Just after Dorothy got Une out of her office, Duo and Hilde sneaked in to it. Duo flicked on the PA system. He brought the mike to his mouth smiling wickedly…


======================================================================================
I think that some people can take a guess as to what happens next. *smirks* Anyway, one of the biggest questions here is will Duo survive??? Now, I need some response on this, do you want me to keep it? Do you want me to lose it? what? come on e-mail me or review! PLEASE!
