Cycles of the Moon

part 4: - Full: Revelations of the Heart

"She is very lucky, her head injuries are not too severe."

"A little head trauma, she will live."

"How are her other injuries"

"Terrible, she had to get 15 stitches on her right arm and 10 on her left leg."

"Raped, beaten, I feel complete sorrow for her, she looks about 16 as well.."

"Hopefully justice will be served. The person who raped her will most likely come back if he knows she is still alive. By the injuries, it seems that he tried to kill her as well.."

"We will keep heavy survielence on her"

"We don't even know who she isand yet we are doing this."

"We can never be too sure these days.." With that, the three doctors left Relena in the room, up in ICU. Relena was in deep unconciousness for quite awhile, and in her mind, it was very distressing. Pain kept registering her through her mind, and it wouldn't stop. Tears streamed down her bruised eyes once again, as her thoughts began drifting to Heero...

(Former China)

"Great job Akira..." Ling shook the hand of Akira. "I knew we could count on you.."

"Thank you Mr Romefellar, it was a pleasure to kill off the pacifist bitch.." Akira said with a grin. "Now, we should discuss the matter of my payment.."

"Ah, yes, your payment. It will come.." Ling's eyes glittered somewhat, his gaze going over to Minaka, who had the gun in her hand, pointed at Akira. The look in his eyes made Akira suspicious, and as he heard the gun cock, he ignored it.

"I do appreciate your payment Ling.." The trigger went off, and Akira managed to dodge away fast enough to watch the bullet pierce through Ling's chest. Minaka's eyes widened in shock when she realized what she had done.

"LING!!!"

"Trying to assassinate me? Is that what you consider a payment..to me?" Quickly, Akira pulled out his gun and turned at Minaka.

"No..don't kill me..please Akira..don-" The trigger went off from Akira's gun and pierced into Minaka's neck. With two bodies on the ground, Akira snorted and walked on out of the building. Walking around, he thought. 'I was nearly killed as a payment to kill Relena Peacecraft..damn them. Well the new OZ won't come forth without them, oh well..' Walking down the city streets, a TV news reporter was talking. 'Hmmm..'

"On today's top news, in Sicily, Italy today, a young girl of about 16 was found in the apartment building in the secluded side. There have been no clues to who the girl is. She was beaten and raped, and has a severe injury to her head. Luckily, she lived..more news at 11."

"What!? Relena is alive!? Grrr...." Akira clenched his fist, "Well then, I guess I will have to finish the job, heheh..." A smart grin soon pasted itself on his face as he walked towards the airport.

(Europe)

"Sicily?" Quatre shouted out.

"Yes, Sicily, we found out that this Akira guy took Relena to Sicily by some anonymous person." Noin explained, saying it low so that Milliardo wouldn't hear.

"..And that is where I bet Heero's gone, that sneak.." Duo sighed out.

"It is very obvious.." Trowa actually said something.

"Well anyways, though we are all tempted to go there, it would be risky on both Heero's and Relena's lives to go. I believe we should leave all hands to Heero for now.."

"What!? He isn't -perfect- yanno!" Duo protested.

"Zip it already Maxwell.." Wufei grumbled.

"Well, look who decided to talk now.." Duo retorted.

"What else am I supposed to do? Your practially screaming in my ear!" Wufei growled back.

Trowa sweatdropped and watched as Quare and Noin attempted to stop Duo and Wufei from arguing...

(Sicily)

'ICU...hmmm...the two guards by the room. Must be Relena's room..' Heero thought to himself as he snuck in behind the wall. 'I hope to God that she is okay...' Suddenly his thoughts were distracted as he jerked over to the side. A man, very familiar, was showing his ID.

"Yes, I am a close friend of Ms. Relena and I would like to see her.." the man replied. Heero's eyes narrowed. 'That's Akira...no way in hell is he gonna get near Relena..' As Akira walks past Heero, Heero decided to become sneaky and followed closely behind him. The guards stopped Akira, and ask for his ID. "Sure guards...here it is.." He hands them the ID and they allow him in. Heero slipped in closely after him. What Heero saw in front of him, nearly made him gasp outloud. It was Relena, in an oxygen assist, a brain wave reader, and with many bruises and stitches on her. Heero ducked into the shadows of the corner, and watched carefully as Akira approached Relena's sleeping form. Digging into his pocket, Akira pulled out a syringe, with a needle attached to it, yellowish liquid inside. 'Soon my dear..your suffering will end..' Suddenly the cock of a gun was heard.

"Don't even think about it. I failed the first time, but the second time I won't.." Heero murmured angrily, his eyes narrowed. Akira turned around, his eyes wide.

"You wouldn't dare shoot me in a hospital would you? You will surely be arrested for attempting to assassinate Relena.." Akira whispered nervously.

"I am very careful with my missions..." With that, Heero raised the gun to his head, and grinned. "Silence is priceless..." Akira gave one last look of shock before the gun went off. Quickly, he fell to the ground, dead. With that, Heero walked over to Relena, and bent over the rails. "Ashiteru, Relena, my koishii. I promise for the rest of my life, that I will protect you..." Closing his eyes, he kisses her gently on her pale lips. A sudden response came from her, Relena kissed him back softly. When Heero pulled back, opening his eyes, he saw tears. "What is wrong?" Relena managed a weak whisper.

"I am just very happy. Thank you again, Heero. Ashiteru...." Relena whispered with a smile, then closed her eyes to sleep...

THE END!!!!

C & C Would be appreciated! Ja Ne!
