Relena awoke when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Her eyes fluttered open and she slowly
lifted her head up from the desk. She looked up and saw Duo standing next to her. "What is
it? Is something wrong?" she asked as she wiped the sleep out of her eyes.
"No nothing's wrong, and nothing will ever be wrong. We found Heero," he said and Relena
eyes went wide. Duo grabbed her hand, "Come on, and let's go get him." Duo pulled Relena
with him through the hallways to the control room. Everyone was in there and they were all
talking excitedly. "All right. You guys wait here and Relena and I will go get Heero."
"All right Duo, if you think that's best," Quatre commented.
"Yeah, I do, Quatre. We'll be back as soon as we can." Duo and Relena ran out of the building
and out to Relena's black jeep. Duo drove them to where he found out Heero was.
"How did you find him? Where is he? Are we there yet? Duo answer me!" Relena pleaded. Duo
wouldn't say anything to her; he just kept smiling and winking at her. "Duo! Where are we going?"
"Just hold on, we're almost there."
They came to a stop outside of the biggest hotel in the Sanq Kingdom. Duo parked the car and
they both hopped out. Relena followed Duo into the hotel's main lobby. She looked around and
everything seemed just as big and as beautiful as it did last time she was here. Duo went up to
the font desk and asked, "Is there was a room for a one Heero Yuy?" The clerk, who looked a
lot like Noin, said that she couldn't give out such information. Duo called Relena up to the
counter, she ran over as fast as she could. "This here is Mr. Yuy's sister. We have been searching
for him for a very long time, you see, Relena here is dying and he doesn't know yet." Duo gave her
a desperate, pleading, puppy dog-eyed look. She caved and told them what room he was in. They
raced to the elevator and went up to the 26th floor. They wandered the hall. "Room 218, Room
218," he muttered as he looked at each door. "Aha, here is room 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215,
216, 217," he stopped in front of Heero's room. "Hey Relena," he whispered. She looked at him
and he pointed at the door. She ran over quietly. "Here it is. Go on knock. I'll wait out here." He
smiled at her as he backed up and mouthed out 'go on.' She smiled and knocked on Heero's door.
"Who is it?" she heard from the other side. He must have been right next to the door by the way
he sounded. She recognized his voiced and her heart skipped a beat. It leaped for joy and she
thought it would fly out of her chest if she heard his voice again, no matter what he said. She just
prayed it wasn't 'go away.'
"It's-it's Relena," she stuttered in her nervousness. She heard the privacy chain be unlatched
and the dead-bolt unlocked. The door swung open and she came face-to-face with her Heero.
"Heero..."
"Relena? What are you doing here, how did you know where I was?" he asked confused and
disappointed that she found him here, alive when he wasn't supposed to be.
"I've been searching for you," she said simply. "I-I missed you, Heero."
He sighed and bowed his head. She continued to watch his every move. She was just delighted
that he wasn't dead and that he was standing right there in front of her. He brought his head
up and looked Relena right in the eyes. The gaze was so deep she could have sworn he saw her
soul, if not more, her very being through her eyes and that he wanted to know every little detail
of it. Her gaze was just the same, she searched to see his soul, to see what he felt and to see
any emotion what so ever. "Relena..." he whispered. She snapped out of her entrancement and
realized that Heero had tears in his eyes. He took her hand and led her into his room. Duo,
who had seen all of this, just smiled and walked down the hall whistling and took Relena's car
back to the Preventer's Headquarters.
"Heero, why did you do that? Why didn't you come back to me? Why did you hide? Why did
you-?" she got cut off from her little game of twenty questions when Heero covered her mouth
with his. He held her close and tight to him as he kissed her with all the passion he has had for
her ever since the first time he realized he was in love with her. She returned the kiss with all
of her passion. "Heero," she said as soon as the kiss broke. "I'm sorry."
"Yeah, sure you're not," he said smiling and kissed her again.
*Here would be where you image their night okay??*
Relena awoke when she felt a shift in the bed. She looked over to see Heero had sat up next to
her. "Heero?" she asked in soothing voice.
"Hmm?" he turned around to face her. He smiled and gave her a quick kiss on the nose. "Hungry?"
he asked and was responded by a nod.
Relena couldn't tell if it was night or day anymore. In the room thick, black curtains covered all
of the windows. She looked around the big bedroom and thought 'Whoa, and this is only part of
the hotel suite. This is huge!' She stood up and walked around the room over to the bathroom. She
opened up a small linen closet and grabbed a robe just as Heero came back in. "Relena? Relena,
where are you?" He walked over to the bathroom and saw her standing in front of the mirror
trying to fix the mess of hair she had on her head. He smirked and walked up behind her and
slipped his arms around her waist. She sighed and leaned back onto his chest.
"Heero, why does this seem so... so perfect?" she asked as she watched him in the mirror.
"Well, Relena. Everything seems perfect in dreams." Her eyes went wide...
Back in Heero's office
Relena's head darted up and she scanned the area. She was back in Heero's office. Nothing had
changed; she was still wearing the same clothes she had had on earlier, and everything was in its
place. 'It was a dream? It couldn't have been. It was so real, I... I wanted it to be real.' She
felt on the verge of tears so she pinched herself to forget about that and realize the new pain.
(AN: I was taught that by my cousin at my great grandma's funeral on Tuesday. It works.) She
forgot that sensation and looked around the room again, just to get a feel or a sense that Heero
was still here. She looked out the window; it was dark out now. The chair across the room was a
pale blue from the moonlight that poured through the window. She looked to the left side of the
room at the bookshelf. Lots of books that Heero, no doubt, probably hasn't read. 'Just to look
important,' she thought as she smiled a sad smile. She looked at what was on the desk; a lamp and
in/out box where Sally put all his assignments when he was away. Nothing else. No pictures, no
papers, no nothing. 'How odd.' She decided to look in the drawers. She pulled out the top left
one, just a few old files. She pulled out the one below that and found some papers from an old
assignment. She found a few more folders and files in the other bottom drawer. She pulled out
the last drawer on the top right. Inside she found his other gun, two extra clips, and a book.
She carefully took out the gun and the clips and pulled out the book. It was entitled- The First
King of Shannara by Terry Brooks. (AN: I'm reading that now, it's pretty cool.) 'So he does get
bored. Hmm? What's this?' Underneath where the book had been was an overturned picture
frame. As she reached for it, she heard a voice at the door.
"Do you always look in other people's drawers?"

Sorry, I know that was shorter than the other chapters but my head has kind of been
preoccupied this last week. I'll try to get the next chapter out soon. Sorry again that it
was short. ^_^ Thanks for reading and please review!
