I Know Who I Am: Chapter Eleven: Millenia Interval
IKWIA: 12

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


Heero turned away from her cooling body, shock beginning to take effect. 'Failure
failure failure failure' his mind chanted. Heero brought his gun to his head,
his eyes devoid of anything but pain, and grief. He released the safety, and prepared
to pull the trigger, and end his existence.

'Iie!' A silvery voice floated through the air, and Heero hesitated. "Nani? Who's
there?!"

'It's me, Heero... I'm sorry I had to go, I...' the voice trailed off.

Heero looked around quickly, hopefully. "Serena??"

'Yes.'

"Where are you?! Come back, dammit!!"

'I'm different now, Heero... We're different, now.'

"But..."

'I should just stay here... I can sense Ami here, I--'

"Iie!! I don't care how you've changed..."

'It doesn't matter now...'

"What do you mean?!"

'No matter what, it'll still happen...'

"What?? What will happen?!"

'The millenia interval...'

"...Serena, come back right now!!" Heero was getting frustrated.

'Why?'

"I want to take care of you... Zutto."

'Honto...?'

"Hai."

Heero waited a few moments for her response. "Serena??" He looked at her
body, and waited... and waited... "Kuso!"

Serena's body was suddenly surrounded with white light, swirling around
it, obscuring Heero's vision. When the light faded, the body was gone.
Heero stared at the place where she had fallen. He felt the rough, still
bloody carpet with his hand, the blood sticky on his fingers. "Iie..."
Heero knelt in front of the red stain, shaking. "Iie!!!"

Behind him, a being shimmered into existance. Angel wings, with silver feathers,
moved softly behind, as if in a breeze. A silken dress clung to the figure's body,
partially hidden behind golden hair. Veridian eyes stared silently at Heero's
shivering body, and the small mouth that adorned the figure frowned. The female
angel began to approach him. She lowered herself beside him. "Heero..."

Heero did not respond, but whipped out his gun, pointing it at the angel without
looking. The figure smiled softly.

"I know who I am, and I can never really die, Heero. Don't you know that?" Heero dully turned to look at the figure, for the first time. His eyes widened, and he lowered his gun
slightly.

"Sere...?"

"Hai, it's me." Serena smiled.

At this response, Heero looked at her wings, touching the feathers lightly. As if she could hear his thoughts, Serena nodded. Heero then did
something unexpected, he leaned forward, and kissed her, very lightly. Her eyelids fluttered
closed, and she pushed forward, against him, deepening the expression. There was
nothing else for either of them, only this moment, this kiss...

Heero pulled back, and no words were said between them. None needed to be.

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

A week later found Serena and Heero sitting on top off a grassy hill, watching as
Wufei yelled at Duo, and listening to the soft music being played by Quatre and Trowa.
Serena leaned against Heero, finding comfort in his warmth.

"Heero...?"

"Hai?"

"We'll always be together, right?"

"Hn..." Serena laughed, then turned serious.

"Heero...?"

"Aishiteru." She kissed him lightly.

"Hn..." Heero looked away quickly.

"Why, is Heero-kun afraid? The perfect soldier??"

"Better watch what you say to me, Sere."

"Oh yeah? What're you going to do if I don't?"

"This," Heero said, pulled her to the ground, and leaned above her. He kissed her firmly
on the mouth.

Serena looked up at him, and blushed. "Well, I guess it's okay if you don't say it out loud."

Wufei distracted them temporarily. "What the hell is that??"

Quatre stopped playing. "..Ice?"

Trowa moved forward, squinting. "What are you..." he looked toward the horizon. "What
the..?"

Heero's eyes widened, watching as the ice moved toward them at an incredible speed.
Heero pulled out his gun, pointing it at the frozen water. Laughing at his stupidity,
Serena kissed him, after whispering, "Here's one for the millenia."

Duo was currently holding his braid. "Well," he spoke sarcastically, "life sucks,
and then you freeze."

The ice overcame all.
