Well, so that I'm the only one with that name. Anyway, here is chapter 1 of my newest fic. I worked hard on it, so send me your reviews!!! Just remember, I do not own Gundam Wing or any of the characters, so don't sue me… I have money, but not enough…***
Footsteps could be heard in the halls of the Presenters' building. A tall and built young man, obviously in his teen years, was walking nervously… The unusual thing about this man was his long chestnut hair retained in a braid, and his violet eyes… He was walking hurriedly through the hallways in search of his Lieutenant. It had been two years since he started working as a Preventer, and this, was from far away the biggest and most complicated affair they've had. He came to a stop when the laboratory of Doctor Sally Poe could be seen. 'Maybe she's in there.' He thought. Walking toward the door, and knocking slightly on it, he came in when he heard Sally acknowledge his entrance. At the far corner of the room, seating in a chair, near Sally's desk, was Noin, his lieutenant. Apparently, Sally and her were having a big discussion… Duo stared in to Noin's eyes and said 3 simple words… "Heero is here."
Both, Noin and Duo were walking toward the conference room as fast as they could. They knew Heero wasn't very patient. The gravity of the affair was at a dangerous degree, and only one man could solve it… This man was waiting for them at this precise moment. Pushing the door of the conference room, they saw Heero calmly waiting for them. Standing in a corner, he had his arms crossed, his back pressed against the wall, supporting him. He didn't change a bit. His unruly dark brown hair and piercing prussian blue eyes… His nonchalant expression… Duo would have shown his happiness of seeing his best friend again, but given the circumstances, formalities were going first. Noin went to seat in one of the chairs that were around the long and large wooden table as Duo just stood there, near the door, closing it, and taking in the same position as Heero.
"Heero… Have you
found anything yet?" asked Noin with her most concerned voice as she was gazing
at him. Heero shook his head negatively… Still Nothing. Relena had disappeared,
and it had been a week now. They didn't know who, and how they had kidnapped
her, but they had to find her fast.
"We need to
investigate the Romafeller foundation." Said Heero in his monotonous tone. Duo
and Noin nodded.
"Heero, we trust
you. Don't hesitate to ask for back ups." Said Noin. Something resembling the
death glare, but even darker, went across Heero's eyes.
"I don't think I
will need it. I work better alone." As he said those words, a dangerous smirk
formed on Heero's lips, almost as dangerous as the tone he employed. Deep
inside Duo knew what was happening in Heero's mind… If those guys wanted to meet
Heero Yuy, they had captured the perfect person.

Noin had left a
minute ago, leaving the two of them alone in the conference room. They were
still in their initial position, eyes lowered, looking at the ground. Neither
of them was speaking, for both of them knew what the other was thinking.
"You know… I
didn't think I'd see you like that one day…" Duo looked up to gaze at Heero,
and then continued… "Did you tell her?"
Heero's face
jerked up slowly to look at his best friend, and shook his head. No, he hadn't
told her. Heero's face was still emotionless, but in his eyes, you could
clearly see anger… A vivid anger for those who had taken her.
"Heero, I know
that you're making a personal case out of this buddy, but please, don't do it
alone."
They were still
looking at each other. Duo wasn't waiting for an answer, he already knew it.
The expression in Heero's eyes changed from an angry look, to a 'mind your own
business' one. Then, pushing himself off the wall, walking passed his best
friend, and out the door, he said…
"I'll handle this
alone."
Behind that
statement, Duo knew there was a threat. If Duo did anything to help him, then,
even though they were best friends, it would turn against him. Heero would
probably hide every clue of himself being on earth and the colonies, find
Relena, bring her back, and then disappear, never to be seen again. All in all,
Duo was basically going to lose his friend over some pride, and personal
business that 'the perfect soldier' wanted to resolve by himself.
As those words rang in his head, he
watched his best friend go…
****
It was about
10pm, and Noin had finally finished her paperwork for the day. Giving a
contented sigh, she lied back on her chair. 'What a day.' She thought.
Wandering thoughts were going through her mind… 'Relena…' Turning her chair
around, she looked out the window that was initially behind her… She always
liked the view she had… From the 23rd floor of the building, Noin
had in sight a good part of the city. Brushing one strand of her short dark
blue ebony hair out of her face, her cobalt blue eyes gazed at the beautiful
spectacle that a city at night offered her… All the lights glimmering… Her
features saddened suddenly when the thought of Relena harassed her memory once
more. Lieutenant Noin had always considered Relena like the little sister she
never had, and after two years of working with her, and also living with her in
the same palace, their relation had come to the point where the two women had
no secrets for each other. If she were never to see Relena again, part of her
world and ideals would surely come crumbling down… In the person that Relena
was, she represented more than a human being… She represented peace, serenity,
hope for a better future. People were looking up to her, even though her young
age. The maturity, views, beliefs that she had were going to change the world
and colonies, and the will power that she was giving to execute her dream was
incredible… Noin admired her. In a way though, she remembered her emotional
state: Stress, loneliness, sadness of loving someone that saw her as a mission,
and nothing more. A week ago she remembered seating on Relena's bed, having her
head on her laps… She was crying, crying her heart out because she had enough
of being alone, of missing him, of waiting for him, of waiting for the love
that she might never get from him. Noin had told her that it would come with
time, that one day or another he'd either love her back and admit that he did,
or that she'd find someone else that would make her happy. Happiness… She
needed that. When making the world a better place to live, and a happy place
for her people, Relena had forgotten herself… Once more. She had tucked her in that night, kissed her
forehead, and told her that everything would be alright one day, that all she'd
been working for would be rewarded, that she would find someone that loved her,
that she had maybe found that someone but that he needed to admit it, and that
it would be hard for him. She needed to have some patience. Relena had calmed
down. Her clear teary crystal eyes had looked at her deeply, showing her what
she was thinking… She had been waiting for 2 years already for him. Then, Relena
had nodded her head sadly, and had told her that she would do her best to keep
her mind off of her personal emotions, and wait for the moment where she'll
finally be with the man she loves. Noin had nodded, closed the light up, and
had said good night to Relena. If only she had known… If only she had known
that in the morning she'd had disappeared. A single tear made her way through
Noin's face. In the morning, when Relena's maid had come to wake her up, she
found Relena's room in a horrible condition. The bed sheets were out of her
bed, lying on the floor, and there were some broken piece of porcelain and
glass everywhere on the floor. What frightened Noin the most though, was the
fact that there was a big trace of blood on Relena's bed… It meant that she was
probably hurt. She felt guilty… "What if…" She started whispering to herself.
At that moment, she felt someone taking her by the waist from behind.
"Lu, it's not your
fault. We will find her, I promise."
She knew that
Zechs would do anything to find her, and that him and the Gundam pilots would
find her. The only thing that worried her though was when they would find her.
"What if it's too
late?"
"…" Miliardo stayed
mute.
"What if they
killed her Miliardo? They didn't ask for anything… which means that they only
wanted her, and they succeeded. Do you even know who they are?"
Noin turned
around to face him. She had a teary face, and an angry tone in her voice.
"For God's sake…
We have nothing that indicates who they are, and furthermore, nothing that
indicates where they took her!"
Miliardo held her
waist tighter, trying to hold her anger. And then she fell crying against his
chest. Miliardo kissed the top of her head, and whispered…
"I promise you
Noin, we will find her no matter what. When we do, it won't be too late, and
we're going to make them pay." Miliardo had a determined look on his face.
Anger could be seen in his eyes.
In his heart,
Miliardo was scared for his sister. He was scared because he really didn't know
how much they had hurt her, but something was sure… They were going to find
her, and when they'd have, they'd make them pay. Looking outside the window, he
remembered the look on Heero's face this morning when he had come to the palace
before going to the Preventers'. He was wearing a deathly glare in his eyes…
Heero Yuy was very angry. In a sense, it comforted Miliardo because he knew
that Heero would find her in time. He knew that he cared about her. On the
other end, what he didn't know was in what physical state he would find Relena.
"What did Heero
say when you saw him this afternoon?" asked Miliardo curious.
"He said he was
going to find her alone. That he didn't want any back ups… That's mainly what
he said."
"Hmf." Was all
Miliardo could answer back. Now he was sure that Relena would be found. Since
two years that Heero worked for the Preventers, he always made sure that Relena
was safe, looking out for her from the shadows. She never really saw him,
except during a few conferences, and political parties that were held, but he
had always been there. When he heard that she was missing, he was just coming
back from a special mission asked from Lady Une. Miliardo only could imagine in
what state of mind Heero had been when he found out. It amused him, because in
a way, Heero and him were the same, and almost all his worries were gone,
because he knew that the job would be done as if he had done it himself.
Still holding Noin to him, closer and
tighter, he continued looking out the window. It was starting to snow…
'Relena…' He thought.
