CHAPTER 1


It's been a 4 months since the Mariemeia incident. But a month after the attacks rebels got rampant and active once again. The attacks became more frequent and more severe. Bodyguards were worked around the clock just to keep Relena safe. In the end they had to get serious and called the only person capable to keep her safe 24 hours a day 7 days a week. They called him, he arrived much to Relena's pleasure.

Relena was on her way to the Preventor's headquarters because Lady Une called in that she was to get a new baodyguard. This wasn't at all new to her, for the past few weeks she had numerous bodyguards with her, one more wouldn't make much of a difference, or so she thought. When she arrived she was immediately welcomed and ushered into Lady Une's office. There she met Lady Une working on some paper work.

"Lady Une, I'm here about the new bodyguard I'm getting?"

"Yes, Relena. I've taken the liberty to reassign all of your present bodyguards as they won't be needed anymore."

"Do you actually trust this person enough to dismiss all of my other bodyguards?"

"Well... I know from first hand experience that he won't give up nor will he fail his job for anything." "Ok. I trust you Lady Une."

"Good. Because I think you'll approve of my choice." she bent down to her communicator and said "Let him in." And in stepped Heero.

"Heero." was all that Relena could muster.

"Relena, here is your new bodyguard. Heero is assigned 24 hour duty on you. I've alredy informed your brother about this arrangement and he has approved though reluctantly."

All was silent.

"Relena do you understand what I just said?" inquired Lady Une

"Um. Yes, I do." snapping back into reality.

"Good. That will be all for today."

"Yes. Thank you Lady Une. And good day to you." And with that she left with Heero right behind her.

The days went on as usual. Relena went to her meetings and conferences with Heero not too far away, uaually hiding in the shadows where no one but Relena was aware of his presence. One day, during one of Relena's many peace conferences...

Relena was on stage behind a podium which bore the peacecraft symbol speaking to the present audience. "And so representatives of the colonies and members of the press, I wish to promote my new campaign against war. This campaign will..." suddenly in the middle of her speech the main door burst open revealing a man dressed as a rebel.

"I'm so sorry miss Vice Foreign Minister but I have to disagree with your statement." He then started aim his machine gun straight at Relena and shot.

On stage Relena heard the shot but wasn't able to move quick enough. Suddenly she felt herself be pushed onto the floor. She looked up to see Heero beside her gun out and looking for the rebel. When he spotted him he aimed and shot a solitary bullet, shooting him right in between the eyes.

The doors to the auditorium burst open with a flood of preventors swarming in and leading all the present people outside. Wufei approached the two onstage and asked Relena "Are you alright Vice Foreign Minister Darlian?"

"Aw...C'mon Wuffie, you know very well that with Heero protecting Relena there is no possible way for her to get scratched." came the voice of a very hyper Duo Maxwell followed by Quatre and Trowa.

"I'm just following regulations Maxwell."

"That's all right Wufei. And I'm all right."

"Now are you satisfied mister I-gotta-follow-the-regulations."

"Whatever Maxwell."

"Now the real question would be. Are you all right Heero?" asked Quatre turning towards the "Perfect Soldier".

"I'm fine."

"Oh we know you'd say that and you always aren't." said an impatient Duo clutching Heero's arm, where the bullet apparently shot him. As Duo grabbed his arm he winced and thought nothing of it after.

"Heero your hurt." cried Relena tearing of a piece of her dress and tieing it around Heero's wound.

"I said I'm fine."

"Yeah right Heero."smirked Duo. Heero then gave Duo his infamous deathglare.

Before anything else was said, the main door to the hall burst open. Revaeling a very angry Millardo Peacecraft. He then walked briskly, practically ran towards the stage where they were, with Noin and Sally trying to calm him down. Though their attempts, known by all were futile they still attempted.

"Relena!" Millardo practically threw himself on the floor hugging his sister. Checking her for any wounds but found none. With a sigh of relief he let her go. Giving time for Sally to speak.

"Zechs you very well know that eversince Heero's appointment to being Relena's bodyguard it's practically impossible for her to scrape her knee." retorted Sally.

"She's right Millardo. You very well know that Relena hasn't been to the hospital for any other reason aside from her usual check-ups." reminded Noin.

"You're right. But I can't help it. I am her brother."

"And I think your taking it a little to far."

"I guess your right but i have to make one thing clear." Millardo then turned towards Relena. "You're taking a vacation." he pointed to her almost accusingly.

"WHAT!!! Brother, you can't be serious."

"Oh yes I am."

"But I'm so close to getting the approval of the representatives for my new campaign."

"No buts Relena and I mean it. Your taking at least a months vacation."

"But."

"No more excuses."

"Fine" she sighed in defeat. Knowing that going against her brother would be just a waste of energy.
