Part 6: The Body

The next morning, Heero was in the gym pumping some serious iron. Duo and Wufei walked up to him and Duo shook his head. He recognized the look on his face. It was the look of confusion at not having gotten any in about a year.

" What happened, Heero?" Duo asked simply. Heero, still benching about three-fifty, glared at him.

" Nothing." He lied. Duo sighed. It was worst than he thought. Denial is never good.

Upstairs, Relena sat up. She sluggishly moved toward the bathroom. When she turned the light on, Relena's eyes bulged out of her head.

Back in the weight room, Duo gave Wufei the "yeah-right" look. Wufei smirked.

" Heero, either you are in need of some serious ass, or something's really wrong. How many have you done anyway?" Duo asked, not really wanting to know.

" About 9,000." Heero said. Wufei sighed and took the bar from Heero. Then a bloodcurdling scream filled the air. Everyone knew instantly that it was Relena. Heero popped up and pulled his gun out. Then he took off down the hallway to her room. When Heero entered the room, he was tackled by a blur of honey-blonde hair. He dropped his gun. Relena was crying in his chest.

" What the hell happened?" Zechs asked, walking in. Heero nodded toward the bathroom. Solange walked past Zechs, looked in the bathroom, then made a run for her bathroom. Kele looked in the bathroom and hid her face in Wufei's shoulder. He unconsciously put his arm around her. Relena was still crying.

In the bathroom, Zechs saw Svetlana Slavinsky (one of Relena's dancers), lying there, naked. Blood covered her b ody. Zechs' face scrunched up.

" This is sick! When I find out who is doing this, their fucking ass is mine, damnit. I'm going to call Donovan, Dmitri, and Sally. Heero, take Relena to your room and let her rest." Zechs left, looking like Hell in a man's body. Wufei took Kele out and Duo followed. That just left Heero and the now sniffling Relena. Heero was going to break away, but decided against it. Instead he picked her up and carried her to his room.

In Heero's room, it was pretty dismal and plain. There was nothing in it but a desk, a television, a dresser, a bed, and a laptop. Relena opened her puffy eyes and let go as Heero set her down gently on the bed.

" Svetlana's dead isn't she?" Relena whispered.

AN: NAW! YA THINK? I'm sorry. Back to the story.

Heero nodded. Relena hugged his soft pillow.

" Heero, I'm scared. I so very scared." She felt the tears coming again. Her glassy eyes met Heero's.

" As long as you have me, koishii, noting will happen to you. I promise, koishii." Heero said. Relena's face considerably brightened. Then her eyes furrowed in utter confusion.

" What does 'koishii' mean?" She asked. Heero smirked and began walking toward the door.

" It's my new nickname for you and only you. When you find out what it means, you'll realize something. It's Japanese." He walked out. Relena shrugged and lye down, letting sleep overcome her.

AN: I love torturing Relena. It's absolutely classic. Sorry this one is so short. Next chappy will be up soon. I NEED reviews to FUEL my writing spirit. Keep reviewing, and I'll make it better. CHAO!
