True Beings

Part 11

By Era-chan

~*~

Waiting was pure torture.  Tensions were high, and tempers were short.  But all were being careful to Relena, since she was pregnant.  They didn't want to make her lose the baby, or else Heero will be upon them in an instant.  Which was not a good thing, that was for sure.  Milliardo tried to not run into Heero, or else his temper would get the best of him.  It didn't help that Heero just ignored him, when all he wanted was to punch the living daylight out of the boy.  Whenever he saw the dark-haired boy, he always thought of wanting to become a light angel.  If what Heero had told him was true, he could survive the ordeal that the potion will give him, and turn into a light angel.  Then he could fight the dark angel and protect his sister from harm.

Meanwhile, Relena's pregnancy began to get noticeable.  She literally glowed with health and the light of a pregnant woman.  The group had decided not to tell the public about her situation, since if they did, he would notice immediately.  She worked in her study, with Heero right beside her, helping with the workload that her job entitles.  He didn't want her to get too stressful, or it would definitely reflect upon their unborn son.  With the perfect clinic within the Peacecraft mansion, and Sally Po for her doctor, she had all the things she needed to make sure that her unborn son was in perfect health, though in her case, she and Heero could have checked any signs out of the normal in a nutshell.

The public was clueless as to what was going on.  They accepted the explanation that was given when Relena was kidnapped.  Even the government was ignorant as to what was happening beneath their eyes.  As long as Relena could do her job, then they didn't care that she was doing her job inside her home.  Not one of the humankind, except for the people working for the enemy, and the group, knew that there were mystical beings walking among them.  And one of them was their own vice foreign minister.

To keep themselves occupied, the four couples kept destroying the private labs situated inside the scientists' homes.  They also kept trying to find more clues.  In these the group was successful.  From the information that Heero had gathered, they had enough to find more such private labs.  Within the homes, they had found more information to help them.  They filed everything they found and gave it to Heero, who gathered them together.  After each mission, he gave each couple a more detailed folder containing their findings.  The boys, excluding their beloveds, discussed everything, their minds sharing the information to their soulmates, filtering them so that the worry and grim tension stay with them.

Milliardo was kept from the meetings.  Though he was an enemy of the antagonist, they felt that it was for the best that he was kept out, due to the tension between Heero and the older Peacecraft, and due to the fact that he was still in his human shell.  They didn't want him to get hurt, a sentiment agreed by Heero grudgingly, for his soulmate's sake.  Noin was also excused, for the same reasons as Milliardo.  As for Lady Une, Merimeia Kushrenada, Catherine Bloom, and Sally Po, they were only given the story of a secret group still out there to take Relena away.  It was accepted by them, and left it at that.  They were oblivious to the hidden story, and will always be, if the group had a say to it.  It was true that the three women were also mystical beings in the past, but it was better if they didn't know, since so much heartache had been experienced during that time.  It was for the best, as all of them agreed.  In the past, they had been loving women whose influence was wide, yet whose hearts had been broken from betrayal and separation.  History was repeating for them, but if Heero has anything to say about it, he won't let it happen.  Not to him, nor to his friends.  They were going to make a better future for themselves, a world where evil will be gone for good.

Yes, times were passing by.  But the waiting will finally be paid with the next action of the enemy…
