Summer Fun

At first I decided to just disappear. But then I remembered back to all those times that I did, and how it affected 'her.' I didn't want to cause 'her' so much pain all over again, it would only cause me more turmoil as it does 'her.' It would be as if I clipped the wings of an angel . . . me being the cause of 'her' plummeting to the depths below. But somehow . . . somehow 'she' seems to find a way back up. Finding 'her' way to get up and rise. Too many times I have done that, and each time 'she' uses her strength. Each time getting weaker and weaker. Such a strong spirit . . . a spirit that shines gold. But everytime it's being used, the shine that it holds and radiates becomes duller and duller every single time. 'She,' not needing it just as much as me, caused me to make the decision to go back to 'her.'

I thought once that it would be better for her if I just stayed away from her. Even if it would kill me inside and cause my 'spirit' to fade away in the darkness in which I conceal myself in. But after constant watching and guarding her very life, I have found that she's in more danger of herself when I do such things. It's not the assassins and threats that she gets daily that puts her most in danger, but the pain in which I make her endure each day. She won't eat, be the person she normally is or sleep well at night . . . if she even does go to sleep. Nightmares haunt her each time she does fall asleep. Whispering, and sometimes screaming my name out into the night. When she does cry at night, I do all I can to not run to her bedside and hold her until her fears dissipate. To only whisper words saying that everything is all right, and no harm will come to her. But now . . .

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I didn't know how I really got out here in the cold 'n bleak night. All I knew was that it was Heero . . . Heero was HERE!!! I needed to see him, to make sure that he was feeling fine. But then, he shouldn't be out of the hospital in the FIRST place. But of course, the great Heero Yuy doesn't like being in the hospital and immobile. But the main thing is that he's all right, and that we can ALL forget what happened here today and move on as if nothing happened . . . hopefully.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I looked about me, making sure I was headed in the right direction. I recognized the very spot where we encountered Duo . . . and where it all happened in mere minutes. I couldn't stand to hear and see Relena cry, all her pain coming from the pain that I felt. I was injured physically, pain washing over my entire body. But Relena's pain seemed far worse than the kind that I had. She was having emotional pain from the sight before her. Me lying there in her arms, her helpless to do anything at all to help my pain. But there was something else too . . . something that was also feeding the hungry flame of pain within me. But what, what was it? What was far more painful than the gunshot wound to my chest? It didn't feel like it was coming from where the bullet was embedded into my chest. It did seem like it was, but it wasn't. This was MORE painful and very close to where I was shot. But where, where was it . . . ?

"Wha . . . " I saw something flash, just over a sand dune. But it was too quick for me to really get a good look at it. All I saw was a flash of something golden. Could it be . . . ?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I didnt know if he caught sight of me yet. Most likely the 'perfect soldier' did already . . . but then again . . .

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Hey . . . what's ur name good lookin'?" Duo grinned as he was dreaming' of this beautiful girl. She looked Japanese, nice and polite, funny just like HIM, nice black hair pulled into a ponytail and her eyes being the same color as her hair.

"What was it? I didn't quite catch it . . . "

*I said my name is K . . . *

Duo woke up to the cold night air drifting into his bedroom. *Damn.* He thought, *I was having a good dream with this really . . . * But then, Duo heard some noise coming from down stairs.

He moved silently out of his room and was tip-toeing out his door. That is until he saw someone's door half open. He quietly walked over towards the opened door and looked inside.

"Humph . . . " Duo saw that no one occupied the bed while Jacelyn was sound asleep in the chair right next to it. *Funny, you would figure that someone would sleep in the . . . * But then Duo stopped there. *Wait a sec. Isn't this 'jousan's room?* Duo quickly caught on and rushed over to the sliding door on the right side of the room. He totally forgot that Jacelyn was sleeping in the room, but luck for him she was a pretty heavy sleeper.

Duo grinned at what was about to unfold before him. *So . . . he DID survive this like all those 'other' times before.*

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I kept on walking towards the house, keeping an eye out for what I saw earlier. I had an idea of 'who' it was. But why in the world would . . .

"Heero!!!"

It WAS her. It was Relena!!!

"Heero . . . " She cried, rushing over to me. I stopped walking suddenly as she caught me in her embrace. I supposed that she was really happy to see me up and walking again once she cried out my name like so many times before, and her throwing her arms around me.

"Relena . . . what are you doing out here?" My wound still hurt, and her sudden action added to it. But I surpressed it and focused on the girl who held me.

"Why? Does it really matter now?" She looked up into my eyes. Again I was caught in the eyes that I could drown in forever. I had a response to her questions, but they quickly died on my lips as she focused her mesmerizing gaze into my own. I knew that she could just stare at me like that too. She just stood there and looked into mine, as if she was searching for something. But it puzzled me to what she was looking for. What was it that she searched endlessly for in my eyes?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I couldn't help it. Once I look into his eyes . . . it's just something that happens. I can't tear my eyes from his, I just want to look into them. See if I can find the masked emotions that he hides so well. I need to know if he feels the same way as I do. I know how I feel, every time I see him I forget most of the things that I do. But that night, I knew EVERYTHING! It kept on playing over and over in my mind, me not being able to do or help him in any way. Then once those images stopped, the outcome images of things started to flow. The timorous result of what could happen, and sometimes 'it' telling me that's going to happen. I just needed to know how he felt, that this was real and tell him how I feel.

"Heero . . . "

"Hmn." He responded, eyes still locked intensely.

I opened my mouth to say it, but then . . .

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I wanted to hear what it was that Relena had to say, but then it began to rain, lightly. It didn't matter if it was storming or just a light drizzle, I didn't want Relena to get wet.

"Relena, it's starting to rain." I took of my jacket and put it around her delicate form. (AN: remember that Heero grabbed something in the hospital, it was his clothes. i didn't want 2 get quite into that) I didn't really notice that she was shivering a bit by the cold night air. I made a mental note, make sure you pay MORE attention to her. (AN: ummm hmmm.....*evil grin*)

"Alright," she said, noding her head at the same time. I guided Relena towards the house, but it started coming down a little harder. I pushed Relena gently, telling her silently to speed up. We went over the dunes, getting soaked along the way. Unfortunately, because the rain was pouring now, Relena was just as soaked as I was, even with my jacket on.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I just watched as I saw Relena run and 'capture' him in her arms. *Aww . . . how sweet.* But then I saw the clouds moving in. *Great, now they're going to be INTERUPTED by RAIN!* I though sarcastically.

But then, I felt suddenly sleepy . . . but I wanted to watch Heero, and, Relena . . .

"Well, maybe NOW those two can get time to themselves." Jacelyn smiled lightly and decided to 'drag' Duo back to his bed and return to her own. *We can all sleep easily now.*
