Listening to the Rain The rain covered the window as my tears covered my face

"Man, you are so f.u.b.a.r." Duo said to me when I told him of my promise to Relena. "Aren't you supposed to kill this girl? HEEELLO? Mr. Mission, what happened to your 'Fulfill or die' philosophy?" I gave him an evil glare, but he didn't realize it because he was too busy babbling. "There's only one reason why a guy would do something like that. But, you.... You can't be..." I attempted to hold in a blush. "You like this chick? Sure, she's hot, but man! She's your prey, man!" I growled and walked out of the room. I didn't need to be treated this way. He yelled out after me, "Hey man, just don't get in trouble over this chick, alright?" I growled again, but this time was at myself. He was right, and that in and of itself pissed me off. I couldn't let myself be sucked into this! I had to get a hold of myself. I walked outside and got onto my motorcycle. Starting the engine, I decided that I needed to go see Wing ZERO. I quickly rode to the covert spot, and climbed up onto it. Sitting in the cockpit, I chose this moment to meditate, and to think about my mission. This was something that I never had done before. Question a mission? I mean, what was that? It was strange, unnatural. However... This girl, she made me do things that I never had done before. I felt so, so good around her. I was used to feeling in charge, angry, powerful, but never anything like this. She had an air about her that just made me want to stay with her forever. But, of course, that was crazy talk. I couldn't... I mean, a Gundam pilot can't love anyone. Love? Did I just say that word? Could I possibly love her already? We had just met today... And yet! Gods! I think that I did. And, now, now that I look back on it, I know that I did.

"Heero?" A gentle voice asked as I slept on the couch in the lounge the next day. I groggily opened my eyes and looked up. It was Relena. My heart jumped into my throat.
"Yes, Relena? What is it?" I tried to sound tough, but I was not only half asleep, but surprised at the fact she had come up to me in public.
"I was just wondering if you had gotten any information about the Peacecraft's yet." She looked at me with imploring eyes, but her voice had a slight edge to it. She was definitely hiding some emotion, but she was doing it so well, I could not detect it. I looked at her and sighed.
"No, Miss Dorlin," I said, correcting my prior mistake. She reached into her bag. "And, I have no doubt that you have some for me, eh?" She half-smiled and handed me a folder.
"Yes, I do. I have the information that I found on the Internet, but you are going to need to learn much more than the little I have. Mr. Yuy," she began, and trailed off. I waited for her to resume speaking.
"Yes, Miss Dorlin?" I said, trying to inspire her to speak her mind.
"I just wanted to say... Well, be careful. They are quite a formidable foe." I smiled for joy inside, but only nodded my head.
"Yes, Miss." I said, and she left. I sighed, and began to rifle through the papers. There were many pages of information, and a few pictures. I already knew a very little about the Peacecraft family. They ruled the Sank kingdom, and the only known heir was Milliardo Peacecraft, who has since disappeared. I questioned why Relena wanted me to destroy the family. Was it simply because her father had warned her? Or did she have a personal vendetta to attend to? Suddenly, I received a call on my cell phone.
"Hello? I'll be there." I collected my things and ran to my room. Then, I jumped on my motorcycle, and got into Wing ZERO. I had a mission to attend to.
