"How is he, Doctor?" A young man, who looked about 18, asked.
"Honestly, I don't know," A man in a white coat, around his late thirties answered. He over looked his clipboard. "He sustained a bullet shot to his left lung. I'm surprised that he survived this. Normally a person with this kind of shot would have died in a few minutes from drowning. He has to make it throughout the night in order to survive this."
"Alright," the 'mysterious' youth looked over to the man laying sprawled out on the white bed. "Thank you for helping him." But then he looked back at the doctor. "You will keep this off file, right? You remember our agreement?"
The doctor looked at the person beside him. "Of course I do. All records and memories of this man are to be erased and forgotten. It's all been taken care of."
He nodded his head in acknowledgment to the doctor, then strolled out the door. *I'm sure Heero wouldn't want anything on his record about this. And Relena won't have to worry about anything either.* He gave off a small smile.
The blond young man, who's eyes would show of concern, hope, kindness and love, exited out if the hospital. Then ducked into a black limousine, and disappeared into the night.

"Tiff," Jacelyn whispered. Tiffany looked up at the door to Relena's room. Jacelyn could see small bags forming under her eyes. Ever since Relena blacked out, Tiff stayed by her bedside.
"Hey gurl, it's 3:33 am. Why don't you go and get some rest. I'll watch her, so you won't have to worry 'bout a thing." Tiffany hesitated for a while. Her determination to watch over her friend was strong. But Jacelyn was right and persuaded her to get some rest. Tiffany went to her room, and shut Relena's door on the way out.
~Sigh~ *Relena . . . how could this kind of thing happen? Especially from someone you both know. Oh, how I wish I could KILL that guy, Duo Maxwell!!!!! What in the world was he thinking!?! 'A way to get the two of you together' . . . HA! If you ask me, I'd say he was just being a jerk of some sort.* Relena shifted in her bed, showing signs of having an uncomfortable dream.
"But he does seem sincere, Relena, he does."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ah, hell with it!" Duo got out from under the covers and sat on the bed, clad in only black boxers. (AN: yeah, yeah kandy....i KNOW ur droolin' already!!!! ^_~) "I can't sleep a wink, what more Relena?" He said sarcastically. He through his hands up in the air in his frustration and decided to go down stairs.
"At least she was kind enough to let me stay here after what I've done. Ah, maybe a glass of water or a walk on the beach would do me some good."
Duo put on a black shirt and walked out his door. As soon as he was out of his room, he heard someone. *Who is that? Sounds like, sounds like it's comin' from over hear.* Duo stopped right in front of Tiffany's room.
"Why . . . why god WHY?" Was a muffled sound of a girl from the other side of the door. A few 'poof' like sounds soon followed it. Duo figured the girl on the other side of the door was punching a pillow.
"U . . . " Duo stopped himself before he really said something. *Wait . . . I think it would be better if I not go in. I mean, what if it's that girl who was gettin' at me earlier. But even if it's not that girl . . . it still wouldn't be a good idea.* So Duo just stepped away from the door and continued on his way down stairs.
*Well, let's see now . . . where are the cups? Maybe they're in this cabinet. Nope.* Duo quietly looked throughout the kitchen, then finally came upon them. *Wow, Relena sure has a nice taste for china, not that I would know any better.* Duo filled up his glass with ice water from the fridge, then drank it.
"Well that sure didn't do me any good." Duo mumbled under his breath. He put his glass down on the counter and looked outside. *Man o man, Heero. This has been one HELL of a night.*
Duo rubbed his hands over his eyes, not believing what he just saw. *No, it can't be . . . it can't.*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*Heero?* He moved (AN: slow motion style ^_~) in front of Relena, a gun appearing out of nowhere. He flew his body right in front if Relena as the bullet headed a strait for her. *Heero,* Relena tried to push him out of the way, but she couldn't move at all. As if there was some invisible force holding her back. *Heero, NOOO!!!* He jolted back slightly, a crimson color spreading on his back. But that wasn't the worst of it, he fell onto Relena, his eyes reflecting pain and shock. There was more of the crimson like color on his chest, soaking the shirt he had on. Now, instead of not being able to move, she could . . . but couldn't speak at all. She cradled Heero's head in her lap, pressuring his wound with both hands. Heero's mouth began to move, words that weren't quite said yet. Relena leaned down and placed her ear over his mouth, hoping to catch the few words that the 'perfect soldier' was trying to say. *Re, Relena . . . I . . . *
"HEERO!" She bolted up from her pillow, siting strait up in her bed. The moon lit room showed that she wasn't the only one in it.
*Jacie? Oh, great. They're staying up and watching over me. Well, at least I didn't wake her up!* Seeing Jacelyn slightly slumped over in the chair that she was in, Relena just shook her head at the scene before her.
"Crazy," she muttered. Jacelyn stirred a bit, catching Relena off guard for a while, but then she settled down and fell back into her slumber.
Relena got out of her bed as quietly as she could, tip toeing to the doors on her right. *Relena sighed, as she knew she couldn't really go back to bed, her dreams haunting her about Heero. She placed her hand on the glass before her and shut her eyes. *Heero . . . survive this one night, that's all you need to do. I wanted to be by your bedside throughout this night, but everyone said that it would be in my best interest that I come back here and get some rest. Especially after what just happened. Like they know anything. I'm PERFECTLLY FINE!!!!!! Your the one who got SHOOT!!!!!!!!* After those silent words, Relena shut them out of her mind. It would only cause her more trouble, more pain. She didn't need that. She had enough already, and didn't need anymore than what she had.
"Huh?" Relena whispered. *Who in the world . . . and Duo's running up to him. Who is that?* Relena couldn't quite see, but as soon as the silver light hit this person's features . . .
"QUATRE!!!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What in god's name are you doing here!?!" Duo, having a grin plastered onto his face as he approached Quatre on the shoreline.
Quatre only smiled at his former comrade. *Well, he seems to be doing fine after that little 'incident.'
"What are you doing here man? Never expected you to be here!" Duo gave him a good pat on the back.
"Uh, Duo . . . the reason I'm here is because I wanted to inform you on Heero's status." Duo winced slightly at that response. Something Quatre wished he could have taken back. "But if your wondering why am I here in the islands it's because I had a few business things to take care of. I was going to leave tonight until 'something' came up."
Duo nodded his head. *Man, even Quatre knows what happened. Does the whole WORLD know too?*
"So," Duo began slowly. "How is Heero?"
Quatre noticed the sadness in his friend's voice. "Well, the doctor said that he would need to survive the night in order to live. That any 'normal' person would have died already. But this is Heero we're talking about." Quatre tried to make it not sound so blunt.
Duo shook his head again in acknowledgement. As he saw Relena come up to the both of them quickly.
"QUATRE! What are YOU doing HERE?"
AN: well, that's it for now. R 'n R ppl.....and the next chapter will be posted. promise ;)
