The evening came fast on the colony, in the hotel people were busy shuffling about preparing for the concert. Heero and Usagi made their way to the concert hall, Heero being cautious about everyone and everything, and if he was lucky, he'd spot a certain Queen. Usagi kept looking around curiously at every little thing she saw, the concert hall looked like an old opera house.
Seiya spotted the couple right away, considering Usagi's long silver hair made her stand out like a sore thumb. He came up from behind them, and casually slid his arms in their's, leading them to their seats.
"Heero-san, Usagi, I'm glad you decided to come." Heero said and did nothing except walk along side Seiya. Usagi was listening contently to the sounds of chatter around her. "Kakyuu-sama is also glad, and is looking forward to seeing you both as well." As soon as they reached their seats in the front row, Seiya gave them a respectful bow and spoke. "Onegai, enjoy the sho, I will come for you afterwards." With that Seiya left to go back stage.
Heero and Usagi sat in their seats silently, Usagi turned her head towards Heero and studied his cold expression for several moments.
"Nani?" Heero finally asked, keeping his sights set towards the stage.
"Heero?" She quietly asked.
"Nani?" He repeated, not shifting his gaze.
"Why you never smile?" She asked, her voice innocent and gentle. Heero finally broke his gaze and turned his head towards Usagi.
"Emotions are for the weak." He said, Usagi rose her eyebrows.
"Doshite?" Their eyes had locked by then, neither one so much as blink. Heero couldn't answer the question because that's how he was taught, she wouldn't understand. He never had to answer, since the lights dimmed and everything went quiet.
****
Zechs and Relena sat alone in one of the balconies. Relena was looking for some sign of Heero, and succeeded, when a flash of silver caught her sight. Relena pointed out the couple and felt extremely jealous when she noticed how incredibly beautiful the woman was, and how Heero made no move to separate from her. They sat in the front row, so that made it all the more easy to keep an eye on the couple.
"Where are the other two?" Zechs asked, looking around frantically.
"Maybe they purposely didn't come?" Relena suggested, which seemed logical enough. "Heero will notice me, he always does, so we'll wait." Zechs nodded silently and studied the stage as the lights dimmed.
****
Duo and Patres made their way down the hallway towards the diva Kakyuu's room. Patres now only completely spoke in English and Japanese. Her English was perfect, obviously she had known it for a long time, which still bothered Duo, but not that much.
"I think if anyone can restore Hee-man's humanity, it'd be Usagi, I tell you Beautiful, she's one charming little lady." Duo pointed out to Patres, she smiled brightly.
"Indeed, it's her naivety that makes her seem so 'cute' as you say it, but also she is quite beautiful, and quite deadly, if need by. She is perfect". Patres slipped her arm in Duo's, who seemed more tame with her by his side.
"That's my point, the perfect soldier should have nothing less than the perfect woman, don't you think so?"
"I think we should allow Heero to make that decision himself." Patres patted Duo's hand reassuringly. Duo looked doubtful.
"Any girl next in line to being the world's most eligible bachelorette would be Queen Relena herself. Do you think she and Heero would make a good couple?" Duo began laughing hysterically, Patres smirked and motioned towards the door of interest. Patres knocked firmly and waited for an answer, while slipping her arm out of her companions'.
"Who is it?" They heard, in Japanese, Patres took charge.
"Watakushi no namae wa Patres desu, guardian Death for the five elements." Satisfied with the answer, Yaten opened the door to allow the couple in.
"I'm glad you came, gomen nasai, but you will have to wait for Kakyuu-sama to return before you may take the elements." Patres bowed lightly in response and the couple entered at Yaten's bidding. "Watashi wa Yaten, one of Kakyuu-sama's servants, I believe Seiya is an acquaintance of Heero-san and Usagi-sama's?" Patres nodded, "Seiya desu with Kakyuu-hime now. Taiki desu with Air and Water now as well, so if you like, onegai stay with me until the concert is over." Patres nodded.
"Hai, that is fine."
****
A single, solitary spotlight lit up a spot on the stage, and within it stood the infamous diva Kakyuu, in a traditional kimono decorated with several jewels and silk flowers. Her fiery-red hair was tied into two large hoop-pig-tails on either side of her head. She looked out towards the audience and began singing a sweet opera melody. Her voice carried like a bird throughout the concert hall, all eyes were completely on Kakyuu as she spread her message through song. Usagi's eyes sparkled and shimmered with the formation of tears, she understood what the diva was singing about, because Kakyuu sang in the devine language. Heero eyed Usagi and leaned in close to her.
"What is she saying?" He asked her, Usagi continued to stare toward Kakyuu.
"She tell about elements." Usagi answered softly. "She say danger is coming."
"What kind of danger?" Heero inquired.
"They're here." Usagi answered, turning her head towards Heero.
"Who's here?"
"Bad people."
****
Yaten was quietly chatting with Duo and Patres when they heard pounding footsteps coming from down the hallway. Duo was the first to hear it, and hastily brought his finger to his lips to signify everyone be quiet. He slowly got up from his seat and made his way to the door. Opening it up a hair, he noticed soldiers checking rooms down the hall, closing the door quietly, he turned around to face his two confused companions.
"What is it?" Patres asked, worried.
"Oz", he answered, and readied his handgun. A knock on the door made him try to think as quickly as possible, "nani?" Duo asked, trying his clearest Japanese. The Oz soldier outside stood close to the door.
"Sir, are you classified as human?" The soldier inquired, knowing if he wasn't, they had Kakyuu's room. Duo smirked and winked at Patres.
"Ah, negative, I am a meat popsicle." He answered smartly in English.
"Sir, will you open the door?" Came the question, Duo stood back and aimed the gun towards the door.
"Sure", he said cheerfully. The soldier kicked to door open, he looked up unexpectantly at Duo, who grinned and fired the gun, "welcome to my lesson on why you should not piss the Shinigami off." Other soldiers flooded into the room and Duo fired more shots, hitting his targets right on. As soon as they were all dead, Patres and Yaten moved towards Duo silently.
"Well that went fast", Yaten commented.
They were interrupted by the sound of more soldiers approaching the door, as soon as they looked at their fallen companions, they shifted their gaze towards the trio in the room. Duo pulled the trigger, but the gun was empty. He gave the soldiers an innocent smile, but the soldiers charged into the room.
Yaten shrieked in fright, as a soldier reached for him, but Patres was faster as the symbol on her forehead began glowing brightly and she touched her hand to the soldier's neck, killing him instantly.
Duo had resolved to hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers were too slow, Duo had to snap their necks with his hands to kill them.
Duo was knocked over, being bombarded by a group of soldiers, Patres rushed to his aid, silently wishing she had her glaive, and touched as many soldiers as possible, freeing her companion. Duo gave her a thankful smile and reached for her hand, but she pulled her hand back.
"Not while I'm still channeling my power", she said, heading towards more potential victims. Duo quickly got back up to help finish off the last soldiers. Within minutes ther ewere no more Oz soldiers standing, Duo swiped his hands signifying his content in success.
"We better get the elements outta' here now", he suggested.
"I think you're right", the still nervous Yaten replied."
"They'll be after Kakyuu", Patres pointed out.
"Hee-man will take care of them, no prob."
****
Kakyuu had finished her song, people gave her a standing ovation and clapped wildly. Usagi had been especially moved, as she had understood what Kakyuu had been saying, Usagi had a small smile on her lips as she clapped, she kept her sights on the glossy stage as she spoke.
"Heero?"
"Hn."
"Duck", she said as she dropped to the floor, taking Heero with her as a bullet ricochet off of the back of Usagi's chair. An outcry of screams from the audience rang out as Oz soldiers poured into the concert hall. Seiya had rushed to take Kakyuu off stage, so she would be safe for the time being.
"How'd you know that?" Heero hissed, raising himself to his knees, Usagi smirked.
"Flash on stage", she answered. It didn't take long before people in the audience were evacuated by the soldiers. Seiya had crawled to the duo in the front and huddled close to Usagi.
"Thought you'd like some help", he said. "Kakyuu's safe for now". They were interrupted when a soldier had made it to the front of the rows. He looked towards the trio and moved in, with his gun pointed at Heero's back. Seiya panicked and held up his hands, "I'm not with him", he insisted innocently.
Heero began growling in anger when the soldier was right behind him. Moving quickly, Heero swept his leg, knocking the soldier over, Heero took the gun and pointed it at the soldier's neck, pulling the trigger. Seiya yelled out in surprise, scaring Usagi, and pissing Heero off, who aimed his gun at Seiya's head.
"Yell again, and I'll shoot you", Heero threatened. Hearing approaching feet, Heero stood up and began firing on any soldiers that were in the concert hall. All of a sudden he heard his name being screeched out.
"Heeeeeeeeeerrrrrrooooooo!!!" It was *obviously* Relena's voice, he looked up and saw her in one of the balconies with Zechs pulling her out of it. Heero growled and motioned for the other two to follow him out of the concert hall.
****
Usagi and Seiya had armed themselves with guns from dead Oz soldiers. Heero led the way, making sure they were safe before they'd continue on their way. Once they reached Kakyuu's room, they met up with Duo, Patres, Yaten, Taiki, Air and Water.
"Hey, Hee-man, where have you been? I had to do all the dirty work", Duo said, motioning towards the dead bodies on the floor.
"Duo, get everyone to a space cruiser, I'm going after Zechs", Heero ordered.
"Not us", Seiya pointed out, "we're going to get out of this hotel and go home, it's been a pleasure", he said, and took Usagi's hand, kissing it softly, then letting it go. The three guardians quickly gave their goodbyes, Seiya wishing Heero luck, of whom nodded silently in response. The trio quickly left, going to get the diva and make their escape.
When they left Heero nodded towards Duo, then headed quickly off to find Zechs and Relena. Usagi eyed Patres who nodded her head, allowing the silver-haired woman to follow after her 'husband'. Duo noticed and was also going to follow, but Patres grabbed his arm.
"Don't. Let her go after him". She said, then took the element's arms and they left to find their transportation.
****
Heero made it to the main lobby, which was completely empty, except for the couple he had been searching for. Racing towards them, Heero pointed his gun at Zechs' head.
"Release her", his cold voice echoed throughout the lobby. Zechs froze in his place, his hand tightly gripping Relena's arm.
"I was wondering when you'd show up", Zechs commented dryly.
"Release her". Heero commanded again.
Zechs slowly turned himself and Relena around, he had a gun pointed to her head.
"Drop the gun, or I'll kill her". Knowing how ruthless Oz soldiers could be, Heero reluctantly obeyed and dropped the gun. Zechs laughed and pointed the gun at Heero's head, "stupid move", he commented, and prepared to squeeze the trigger. Relena screamed in protest.
"You said you wouldn't kill him", she yelled.
The shot was never fired, as Zechs was knocked to the ground by a certain silver-haired beauty.
"Heero no get killed", Usagi said, taking Zechs' gun, allowing Heero to pick his own up. Relena looked frantically between Heero and Usagi.
"Heero? Who is this?" She asked, getting even more upset.
"She's my wife", Heero answered, approaching Zechs and pointing the gun at him, ready to fire. Relena screamed an kneeled on the ground, shielding her brother.
"Don't kill him, you can't, he's my brother", Relena pleaded, Heero was furious.
"You've known that all this time?" Heero accused, Relena looked up with teary eyes.
"How long have you been married?" She accused back, Heero lowered the gun to his side.
"Hn." He answered, and motioned for her to stand up. Usagi helped Zechs up, who remained silent for the moment.
"Heero, we go back to Earth now?" Usagi asked, Heero nodded, the group went to head outside of the hotel, where Duo had a space shuttle ready.
The group boarded the ship, Zechs resisted the urge to take over the ship when he noticed the elements were on board. Duo was at the controls when Heero made his way up to Duo.
"What's with bringing the enemy on board?" Duo asked casually.
"He's Relena's brother", Heero answered, sliding in the seat next to Duo's. The duo fell silent when the object of their conversation approached them.
"I know you're not exactly thrilled to have me here, but I want to thank you, Trieze won't accept me back without the elements, so I'm basically at your mercy". Duo eyed Heero who refused to speak.
"If you help us, we'll let you stay with Relena", Duo suggested cooly.
"What did you have in mind?" Zechs asked skeptically.
"We need to get the other elements and their guardians", Duo explained, Zechs smirked.
"I see. Well, perhaps I will assist".
"You have no choice", Heero growled at Zechs, then he glanced back towards where the two newly acquired elements were. One tall and lean, with short dirty-blond hair, she was Air, the other, aqua-marine hair, she was Water.
