Chapter13-This Kind of Love........
They went to Lady Une's office, and opened the door. Everybody was waiting for them. Mariameia was standing beside Lady Une. She held her head down.....too afraid to look up.

"Hi, Relena. Did Dorothy explain everything to you?" Lady Une said.

"Yes." Relena like to use short answers around Lady Une.

"So what do you think?" Lady Une closed her eyes as if she was too tired to do anything right now.

"...........nothing.........." Relena looked at Mariameia.
"What about you, Mariameia?" Lady Une looked at Mariameia like a mother asking their child what did they do wrong. Mariameia slowly look up, she focused her eyes on Relena like asking for help. However Relena just kept her deathglare. Mariameia look down again knowing that she won't get any help. The other girls kept quiet, because they knew that giving messages to enemy is a very serious problem. The thing that they have do to the traitor is to kill them.

"Do you have anything to say for your last words?" Mariameia suddenly looked up, at first she didn't realize that they were really going to kill her. But now the real thing appeared. She become scared and horrified.
Cathy finally spoke out.

"We should make Mariameia a prisoner and don't let her to go back to the enemy's base." Lady Une closed her eyes, showing deep thinking and opened it again. Finally, she spoke.

"Cathy, that's what you said don't regret it after." Relena kept nonchalant, but felt lighter in her heart.

"I understand." Cathy answered.

"Relena, bring Mariameia to the prison room."

"Yes, Lady Une." Relena nod. She turned her head to Mariameia.

Mariameia followed her along the the basement of the 056 area. Relena remembered there was a time when she was here. Not that she did something wrong and got punished. It's a traitor in the 056 area a long time ago. She was Relena's friend. Relena would come to the basement everyday to see her. However, after she escaped from the prison, they never found her again.

Relena opened the door for Mariameia.

"Miss Relena......wait."

"What?" Relena look backed with some sympathy in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I understand why you won't help me." Relena sighed, she didn't know how to tell her. In a way, you can't say that Mariameia is a traitor, she was just doing her mission. Every agent knows that. However, Relena is an agent from the 056 area. In her position she had to consider Mariameia as a traitor. I don't have to courage to speak up for her........because I think that both sides are right.

"You're just doing you mission." Relena looked away. She understood why. It was right for Mariameia to do it, if it was me I would do the same, if I think that's worth it. The only differenes is that she has a family waiting for her.....and I don't......hey, when did I start to care about 056 area.......when I felt that there's a responsblitiy to protect 056 area.........when did I start to think that this is my home........?

"Thank you." Mariameia smiled. The first time to see her smile after coming here, in the 056 area.


Relena was going back to her room. On the way she met Hilde. Relena already knew what it is. Hilde started first.

"I'm going this Friday." Hilde said with confidence.

".......You are ready?" Relena asked. She knew that if it was her, she wouldn't have the courage to do so.

"I don't have a choice."

"We're going to fight them maybe.....on Monday."

"Is that what Noin has calculated?" Hilde said deeply.

"Yes."

And then Friday came. Hilde called Duo in the morning and they went to the Happyland, playing those 'DropZone' and 'The Hulk'. They went on the rollercoster which is 200 floors high and have 10 turns and spins. Hilde couldn't stand it anymore. After this ride, I'm telling him. So she had shown no emotion while on the ride..........while others are screaming so hard at the back. Duo saw Hilde's face. So he went out of emotion for the rest of the ride.......while others are still screaming at the back.
After the ride ,they'd sat down to rest.

"Hilde are you okay? I'm sorry that I wanted to go on the rollercoster. I didn't know that you couldn't stand it."
Hilde just stayed blank. After a minute she finally spoke up.

"Duo........." She was talking to Duo, but her eyes were looking far off. Duo could not reach Hilde anymore..

"Yes, Hilde?"

"You want to seperate for sometime?"

"What?"

"I ....I said..you want to break up?"

"But, why Hilde?"

"It's over, Duo."

"BUT WHY?"

"The first time we go out, you knew that we wouldn't last. I mean, we only kissed. You're just playing anyway. You know the rules, don't tell me you are serious!!!" This kind of Love..........

"I never knew you were like this......... Hilde........."

"Welcome to the real world, Duo Maxwell. Now, may you excuse me!!!" With that, Hilde just walked away. Duo could only see her back. However, he could not see that her face was streaming with tears. Then her walking slowly turned into a run!!! This kind of Love.....She ran back to where she came from, and maybe for her whole life she had to stay there fight and without Duo.


.........................................This kind of Love....it's only a mistaken demonstration...........................................
In the middle of the night, whoever was asleep all got woken up by the alarm.
Relena jumped off her bed and got changed while running down to the main hall. The others did the same.
So the enemy has finally broken through our denfences and attacked us. She held on to her weapon, Tail, tightly. The others looked so serious and all felt the heavy load of this matter. Silence fell as they waiting for Noin to make her command. It's just a matter of time before they would have to counter attack. Nobody would like this sense of insecurity.

"Attack." Noin say coldly.

"Mission accepted." They replied.
They went to scope out the enemies. The group seperated the search the various rooms of the base. Hilde kicked open the door of training room, she didn't have to guess who was in the room. A guy wearing a cap and dressed in black. The cap hiding his eyes. He slowly looked up......

"Hilde......"

Hilde pulled her gun out and pointed it right at Duo's forehead.

"You asked me why I wanted to end things with you, do you understand now?" She opened her eyes and looked at Duo. Duo just stayed still where he was sitting, a silence came between them. The scene was frozen and became a still picture. Thinking about what should they do for as the next step.

"I know that you would be here, Trowa." Cathy went into the weapons room.

"The weapon room is always a good place to overtake."

"What are you planning to do with me? Trowa." Cathy asked without any fear.

"Drop your guns, woman." Suddenly a voice came in from behind. A Chinese man holding a long stick. His hair was pulled back into a short pony tail.

"Who are you calling a woman?!" Then Sally pointed her gun at that man who had just gone into the weaapon room. Sally holding a gun was a rare sight to see. She smiled at Cathy.

In the power control room. Quatre was opertating the computer, but all the systems suddenly got shut down. Now, the room was filled with darkness, Quatre could barely see a thing. Just then the systems were turned on again. A window popped up on the screen and lit up the room a little. A shadow appeared, by the time that all the windows had popped up. The person's face became more and more clear and recognizable. Dorothy threw him a fencing sword. And they started fighting.
____________________________________________________________________________

Finally, Relena had reached the libary. A place for enemies to hide. She slowly pulled out her gun. A shadow was waiting for her in the center of the room.... She wasn't sure...so she asked......

"Who are you?" Relena waited for the answer.

"..................." He held his head down...and slowly he turned around. His deathglare changed into a shocked look when he saw her. A person that he wanted to see for such a long time, standing right in front of him.

Relena knew it. It was Heero, it had to be him, the cold blue eyes. Once again, them have met.

"Relena....." He opened his mouth, wanting to tell her and ask her everything that had been in his mind for centuries. However, he stopped after seeing her hand....her gun..........answering everything...............
His eyes once again became cold.

"Heero." Relena replied him with his name. I had asked myself once..........what if he finds out..........and now I...........

She pointed her gun towards Heero, but she suddenly realized that his speed is faster than her's. With the time she used to hold up her gun, he'd already gone behind her. He knocked the gun out of her hand, but didn't grab her......trying not to hurt her. However Relena didn't return the considerate favour. She pulled out her weapon, Tail, from a little box on her back. He took a shot towards her. The bullets aimed toward her shoulder. She hit it away using the dagger part of her Tail. She pulled out chains that were conneted to the head of Tail and now the Tail became a long whip. She let go of the head of Tail and swung it towards Heero. He caught it with his hand easily. Relena ran towards him and..............

"Stop all the fighting at once." Noin shouted. Relena and Heero looked at Noin. At the side of the door, there were Zechs, Lady Une, Treize, and everybody.

"We have agreed with Mr. Treize to join forces." Lady Une told Relena.

Relena narrowed her eyes. You mean to join forces to become a bigger assassiantion group and kill more people. Then when is my relief? She had fallen once again into her old ideas......committing suicide........
They start to leave and expected Relena to follow them. However, Relena suddenly grabbed Heero's hand............with the Tail that he was holding................stabbed herself in the stomach.......................blood poured out and stained her skirt red.............................it was her blood that smothered his hand...............Heero was shocked............she fell down............falling into his arms..........he caught her.................She felt pain..............Her eyelids becoming heavier and heavier............She lifted her head and whispered something into his ear...............and finally she closed her eyes__________________________

At that time I didn't think of an answer for myself...........maybe I was afraid that the result would be negative,
but now I won't run from it anymore......................if we have to fight I'll let him kill me.
