I Know Who I Am: Chapter Eleven: Fallen Angel
IKWIA: 11



--------------------------

Serena sat in her car, hidden in an alleyway, as she watched Heero
and Doctor J. enter a rather large house in the one of the better
districts of Tokyo. It had been a long drive, and now all she cared
about was finding out what the hell was up with Heero.


'Man, Doctor J's done well for himself to be able to afford this
large a house in Tokyo!...' Serena's thoughts wandered for a few
minutes, before she drew herself back to the matter at hand.
Quietly, she opened her car door, stepped out and shut the door behind
her softly. Creeping stealthily, the bunned-one made her way towards
the back of the house, turned right, then left, and walked around a
pond, finally discovering a back entrance into the house. She tried to
open the small door, then frowned.


'Damn, locked, of course. Oh well.' With a smirk, she pulled out
a crow bar, having had it stored in her own version of the mystery
place where Heero keeps his gun, and used it to break off the outside
of the door handle. She tried to open the door again, then frowned.


"Ahh!!" She sighed, frustrated. Suddenly, the door opened, and she
jumped onto the roof quickly, watching from above as Heero stepped out
of the house, glaring into the abyss, gun in hand. He looked around a
bit before reentering the house, shutting the door behind him.


'Shimatta!' Serena jumped down from the roof to the ground below,
then crept around to the nearest window, hiding herself in a tall
bush. She stood up a bit, looking into the window, glaring as she saw
Doctor J. typing a message on his computer. Pulling out a small
pair of binaculars, she read his conversation with a "Sou" as
he typed.

```
Dr. J: The training has gone perfectly. He does everything I program
him to do. Even when it comes to the one girl who would love
him! One lie from me, and he'll barely even speak to her.

Sou: Then it is in perfect condition...?

Dr. J: I give you my word, whatever it's worth.

Sou: Very little. Alright... How much?

Dr. J: 200,000 yen for the final version.

Sou: 200 thousand! That's outrageous!

Dr. J: Well worth your money and my time, and you know it!

Sou: ... Keep this line secure. I'll contact you later about the
arrangements.

```

Serena watched the messaging with growing disgust. 'That bastard!!
No wonder... Heero...' Serena opened the window, crept into the
room and hid behind a chair. Dr. J pulled out a gun and clicked the
safety off as he turned away from the computer.


"Who's there?" he growled. Serena moved into the light.


"I've never thought that I could really hate someone..." she looked
at him with calm eyes, "But I hate you in entirety."


Dr. J smirked at her. "I don't give a damn. In fact, the last
thing I need is for you to corrupt Heero further, or to be around
to awaken the world in a millenium, Angel. We knew about you before
even OZ did, before they started researching you... And once they
knew, we began to understand eachother, and came to an arrangement."
He brought his gun up, the metal glinting in the light that glowed
from the desk lamp. "Sayonara."


~~~A shot pierced the night.~~~


Heero burst into the room a second later, watching
in horror as Serena's body hit the floor, and blood began to pool
around her. He stared from her body, to Dr. J holding a gun.


"Oh, come now, Heero." Dr. J smiled maliciously. "You never really
believed I cared about your happiness, did you?" Dr. J laughed. With a cry of
rage, Heero pointed his own gun at Dr. J, and pulled the trigger.


Heero knelt down by Serena. "Serena..."

She smiled up at him. "Heero... It's alright."

"I...."

"I understand now... I forgive you." She coughed, and blood came
into the air... "My heart is yours, Heero. Zutto." She drew in a slow breath.

Heero's eyes widened. "No! You can't go! I need... I love..." He looked around
frantically. "I love you..." Serena breathed one last time, closed her eyes.


For the first time in his life, Heero cried.
