~Chapter 12~

Serena was searching for Heero, but not being very successful at it. 'Where are you?'

She walked into the woods and saw a clearing farther into it. As she got closer, she made more and more noise, stepping on fallen leaves and twigs. When she reached the edge of the clearing she heard the click of a gun. Slowly, she turned to face the holder of the gun.

"Heero," she sighed.

"Hn," he pulled his gun away from her head and put it away. ((I don't wanna know where he puts that thing...))

"Heero, I want to explain."

"You don't have to. I have eyes."

"But you don't understand!"

"You're right I don't," Heero yelled. "I don't understand who that guy was! I don't understand why you let him kiss you! I don't understand why you said you loved me!" His voice quieted to a whisper with his next words, "I knew emotions were weak and I let them trap me."

"That guy was Darien, he's my ex-boyfriend. I broke up with him but, I guess he still has feelings for me. I 'let' him kiss me only because I was too surprised at first to react. I said I love you because I do." She turned his head to face her, "and, emotions aren't weak. They're the strongest asset you could possibly have. Heero, I'm sorry. I love you."

"I...I...I don't know."

"You don't know what?" Serena asked shakily, tears forming in her eyes.

"I don't know what to believe." As he said this Serena couldn't hold in her tears anymore and they started falling like crystals from her eyes. Heero winced when he saw her crying but turned before she could see.

"Heero," Serena whispered as he walked away. "Why...please, believe me. I love you."

~The others~

Relena had walked off shortly after Darien had and the group was now talking.

"What are you up to Mina?" Amy asked.

"Well...I think Relena and Darien would be good together," Mina replied.

"Why?" Lita asked.

"Well, because. They've both had their hearts broken and, the way I see it, they could help each other get over their heartbreaks."

"Relena had her heart broken?" Duo asked.

"Duh...Heero," Rei said.

"But...I thought the onna was just obsessive." ((If I have to write who said that then I'm gonna scream... j/k))

"Well, she was. But, that was only because she loved him. She didn't think she had any other way of getting his attention."

Ok...that was all for this chapter. PLEASE review and tell me what you think!

Thanx!
