(Notes from me)
Chapter 18
"Princess Relena, Heero, wh-what are you doing here? Where are the others? Are they all right? What of my brother, Trowa?" Catherine's alarmed, melancholy, said as she made her way over to them, stumbling over the rubble.
"Lady Catherine; we came to see my brother, is he well? From what I heard last from Heero, the others are still alive, but I don't know of their conditions for I was asleep when Heero and I departed their company." Relena replied, her voice slightly rough from holding back the unwanted tears, as she stood up from her crouched position beside the soldier's corpse.
"Princess… The King is well and is currently hiding where I dare not take you for fear of your life. I will show you to Queen Lucrezia." She said, taking the emotionally numb princess's hand, turning around and making her way down a rather steep slope, into a small ravine that, when followed eastwards, lead to what was left of the old castle's walls and into what looked to be what remained of a hidden passage way.
"I've never been in here before, and we have lived here since before my brother and I were scarcely a glimmer in our mother's eye." Relena whispered ever-so-softly in the echoing tunnel that opened up at the other end into what looked to be an old wardrobe closet in one of the guest chambers.
Heero didn't seem to have ears for hearing things lacking in importance. Preferring to just lead Steadfast in behind them by the reigns and taking note on how well the room had stood up to an attack that had obliterated nearly everything in its path.
"Stay here while I go and fetch her." Catherine said, curtsying slightly before exiting out the nonexistent door at the far side of the room.
"What do you suppose we do if Lucrezia can't think of anyone, Heero? Do we go back empty handed?" Relena asked, trying to end the vow of silence, which they had unknowingly made, between her and the dryad-man.
"If that is the case, then we have no choice, we can't waste any more time then necessary." Came Heero's sparse reply.
"Heero?" Relena asked, drawing his attention from the stone of the walls that he was staring at blankly for a few moments.
"Hn?" He said when she didn't continue.
"What do-- Oh never mind, it's nothing important." Relena mumbled, shaking her head, her golden-wheat colored locks swaying slightly along with it.
"What?" He demanded, eyeing her carefully.
"It's just that I've been wondering, wondering what it is that Dryads eat. You and Felina never have anything we have, and I don't want you two to go hungry when they is something that I could do about it." Relena replied, looking up when she felt her gaze upon her.
Heero's back straightened slightly, a sign that went not unnoticed by Relena, and his jaw slackened from what looked to me mild shock. He was taken aback by her concern for himself and his kin; most humans just don't care enough to want to help, even if there wasn't anything for her to do to, Dryads couldn't stomach human food even if they wanted to, which he didn't.
"I'm sorry, I made you nervous. Just forget I said anything." Relena said as she turned to look away from him once again. Suddenly preferring to watch Steadfast take a nap on the cold, gray stone, floor.
Heero walked over to the tiny window, cut into the rock, at one end of the room and peered out, taking in the view and the smell of the sea breeze carried in by the gentle wind as it caressed his cheek and the sun's heat kissing his bronze skin. Somewhere in the back of his mind he might have heard himself respond with the word: "Sweet." but he never took any notice as he, for once just let the words flow.
"What?" Relena asked, looking at his backside as he still faced the window, his body bathing in the sun's afternoon glow, softening his harsh features and giving him an almost child-like quality to his otherwise deadpan face.
"We like things sweet, and fruits, Felina epically likes fruits."
Relena giggled. 'Why am I not surprised?' she thought. "What do you like, Heero?" she asked after she had calmed herself slightly.
He seemed to be in deep thought, for what seemed like eternity to Relena, as he mauled over the words as they ran through his head. "Pastries" he said after a time.
"What kind?"
"There is no name for it in English."
"What is it like?"
"Sweet."
"And?" Relena prompted as she stood up and inched her way closer to him, his back still facing the side of the room.
"Nuts. It has nuts and a thing that you would call 'butter' and sugar cane juice to make it sticky." He replied with a slight smirk that toyed at his lips for an instant before fading away once again.
"Announcing her royal high--" Catherine started to say as she rushed in but froze in place when she saw the dryad and the princess so close, at first glance she had thought that they were looking at something outside, but then she noticed that their eyes, while the rest of their bodies were facing the window, their eyes were locked in what looked like a stare shared by only those that cared greatly for the other. 'But, is it love?' Cathy thought.
"Princess Relena! What are you doing here?" Asked Lucrezia as she glided in, the yards of cloth from the skirt of her dress trailing behind her.
Relena turned around slowly to face her sister-in-law, her brother's life-mate. "We came because we had a question to ask Milliardo, but, as I can see, he is no longer here. Please, Lucrezia, do you know of anyone, anyone at all, who would have conspired against our kingdom, us?" Relena asked, her head high, her voice calm and determined. Everything that she was at that moment was the epitome of strength. It was then that the queen realized just how much the dear-hearted and somewhat spoiled maiden that had run off that time long ago, chasing after the dryad that now stood beside her, had changed.
Lucrezia stood and thought, 'How her brother would be so shocked to see her now, he most likely wouldn't recognize her.' a smile tugged at the queen's lips at this, 'His sad, lonely, little sister is all grown up, all without us even realizing it.'
"My Queen?" Cathy said, drawing her majesty's attention onto other things.
"Oh, OH! Yes, right, forgive me. I'm sorry, but I don't know of anyone who would have wanted to take--"
"They have arrived." Heero cut in, staring out the window to the north.
Relena whipped her head around and peered out over the horizon and there, just appearing beyond the clouds came what looked like two birds, 'no, wait… those birds have no wings!' Relena thought, her mind reeling with surprise. They were Wufei and Wong's Dragons, with them riding upon their mythical creatures' scaly backs.
"My gods! What are they?" Catherine asked as she and the queen squeezed between the other two to see.
"Look Heero, I see the others just behind them!" Relena exclaimed.
"Who? Princess, what are you…" Cathy's eyes opened wide, and she stammered, realizing what the Princess meant. "Tro-Trowa? You mean that the others are…Oh my god! TROWA!" Catherine screamed when she saw her adopted little brother riding down the hillside on a large gray wolf.
"They aren't alone." Heero stated as he raised his hand over his brow in an attempt to shade his eyes from the sun as it set in the west, on his left hand side.
"You're right Dryad. It looks to be almost a whole army is behind them." Lucrezia said, squinting her eyes through the sunny glare.
"Trowa, and Felina, it's them!" Catherine cried, tears of joy falling from her eyes.
"My lady, we should hurry and meet up with them…" Steadfast hummed, making Catherine and the bluish-black haired queen jump, having not known that the unicorn could talk.
Heero nodded in agreement, vaguely noting the harm burning feeling that was coming from the egg's pouch hidden under his tunic.
"Alright. Lady Catherine, Sister Lucrezia, I want you both to go and find a safe place to hide and, if possible, tell my bother not to worry, everything is going to be okay." Relena said, trying to set the two women's minds at ease.
"But what about you?" Lucrezia ask, alarmed that her dear husbands sister might be going into battle, into war, defenseless.
"I'll be fine! Just go! NOW!" Relena said, giving them a push out the door before grabbing Steadfast's reigns and heaving herself onto the unicorn's back. "Heero! Get on, we have to hurry!"
Heero nodded curtly and pulled himself up in front of her saying, "I don't want you do be in the front for this, you would be safer behind me."
The blue-eyed princess smiled slightly in thanks and quickly wrapped one of her arms around his waist while her other held her orb, which had started to glow an intense maroon. "Right, let's go Steadfast!" she said, nudging the Unicorn's sides with her feet, a habit that she still needed to brake, and held on tight to the Dryad in front of her as they sped off, back into the hidden passageway and back out onto the all-too-soon battle-field-to-be.
*****
Whilst the princess and the fairy king's favorite, among the males at any rate, made way to their comrades, their friends, and soon battle, the queen was also waging war, against herself and the words of her beloved.
'Oh Zechs, why did you have to go back to that? Did you know that you would end up being your sister's enemy? You had to have known, you did know, but… will she? Princess Relena, you mean so much more to me then just my husband's kin, you are more a sister to me then any of my closest living relatives, I love you and your brother more then anything in this world, though you will have to forgive me for not loving you at the same level as he. If anything should happen to either of you, I would surely die! …I have to warn them, I just have to! And I will, SOMEHOW!' she thought, tears coming to her eyes, but because of her constant blinking them back, they never fell. A queen must remain strong at all times, no matter how hopeless the situation.
Unfortunately or fortunately, these same rules did not apply to common circus performers. Otherwise the maiden, Catherine Bloom, would have tried a little harder to hold them at bay. But, alas, some things are just too much for the ever-loving heart of the knife thrower and so the dam broke while she, and the woman whom she had begun to call her majesty, ran back to the safest place they could think of, the only place they could think to go where only their friends would find them when the battle came to an end, the cave by the sea shore, where waves crashed upon the sand as calming as a mother's lullaby to her sleeping infant child.
No words were passed between the maiden and the queen as the entered the cave and made their hiding place safely behind the rocks furthest from its mouth. Nor were any shared as Catherine started a small blaze to warm their sore feet. Not one of them wanted to share their fear, their dread, over what was to become of the others, they just sat, and waited for whatever end to come.

"Well, if this don't beat all! Hey princess!" Duo called from atop Hawkeye once he realized that she was seated behind the unstoppable Dryad soldier on Steadfast's back. At first he had been worried that she had died while Heero traveled with her in his lap and he upon Steadfast, headed for the destroyed kingdom where they were now, but, once the man with the long chestnut braid flew over the unicorn and her riders below, he saw that she was indeed alive and well.
"Hello Duo!" She called back, looking straight up at him and waving with her orb-hand, the orb glistening red in the setting sun's light.
"Why you sly dog! I knew it! I knew it! I shouldda said something, figures that the one time that I keep my mouth shut is when I'm right! Heero, you getting mighty close to her highness! You sure there ain't something between you two that we don't know about yet?" Fiora laughed as she circled them overhead.
Heero pretended that he didn't hear the foolish pirate woman above and had Steadfast pick up speed, quickly catching up with the land troops.
"It's good to see that both of you are well." Quatre said as Relena got off and Heero dismounted after her.
"We are alive, yes, but I can't say the same about being well." Relena replied, "We couldn't find my brother and Lucrezia couldn't answer our question."
"That's a shame, I do hope that King Milliardo is alright. But we do have some good news, we know who our enemy is now." Quatre said, trying to cheer them up.
"Who?" Relena asked.
"You'd be surprised!" Fiora said, "Turns out that Kingie has a back stabber." she laughed.
"What do you mean?"
"What Fiora means is that King Milliardo has been betrayed." Wong answered.
Relena shook her head "no" and said, "That's not what I meant. Who is it?"
"King Treize." Trowa supplied, his voice blank of his feelings towards the situation.
"Guys!" Came Wufei's call as he and Shou floated over from the northwest. "I found their camp!"
"Good, thank you Wufei! How far off is it?" Quatre asked.
"Not much more then a mile or so!"
"Okay. Rashid!" Quatre said, turning Blastfamous slightly so that he could make eye contact with the knight.
"Your orders, sir?" Rashid asked, stepping forward, bowing with respect.
"We will attack the camp and try to seize it, I want you and your men to charge in from the weakest point in their defenses. I don't want any of you to be killed, so watch out for yourselves! MOVE OUT!"
"You heard the man! MOVE!" Rashid ordered his men.
"Wufei show them the way, please." Quatre said, looking up at the Chinese warrior, who nodded and floated off with the army riding on their horses behind him.
"Where are the rest of us going?" Trowa asked, leaning over on Trance so that he could rest his elbows on top of the wolf's head. Trance have him a sour look from below.
"We make the main charge, while Rashid and his men are attacking they wont notice us slipping in and destroying them from the inside out."
"That's provided that your soldier's last long enough." Wong said.
"That is a risk that we will just have to take. I have faith in my men, they won't falter." Quatre said, determined.
"PWA! Time is wasting! If we're going to sneak in, we should do it while there is still time!" Felina chirped.
"Right, let's do it!" Quatre said as he and the other's rode off.
Heero pulled himself onto Steadfast's back once again and then, reaching out a hand to the princess, helped Relena up behind him before taking off after the others.
"Heero?" Relena's voice asked calmly.
"Yeah?"
"You aren't going to die, are you?"
"If that's what it takes to succeed--"
"DON'T SAY THAT!" She cried.
Heero's eyes widened slightly with shock but quickly recovered, pulling his emotionless mask back into place.
"Don't. Say. That. I don't want you to die for this! It's not worth it. Promise me that you won't get killed!"
"…"
"Promise me Heero! I don't want you to die fighting for a kingdom that you couldn't care less about. I don't want you to fight for something that you don't believe in.," she said, sobbing quietly onto the back of his tunic.
"I'm not," he said, stopping her cries suddenly, his words sinking in.
"You're," she whispered softly to herself.
"The time has come for the Humans to rule, even now the magical beings of this world are moving on, into the next, their power's weaken while the Humans' only increases. I believe that if we can end this, your people who, from what I've seen in you, are peaceful and care more about outsiders then of themselves. I believe that this is the way all of human-kind should be, so I will protect it with the every breath in my body." he said, stopping steadfast just before the battle field began and getting off, leaving Relena to sit upon her steed, numbly taking everything in.
"Heero, I- I don't know what--"
"Believe in me, I'll come back." He cut her off as he drew his sword.
"You don't know that--" she tried to interject.
"Trust me." he cut her off once more.
"Yes, yes of course Heero. I trust you. I promise." she said after a time, their eyes locking but for an instant before he turned and ran off. "I trust you Heero, yes I do." she said as she watched him go before having to block an attack from a man in gold armor upon a horse with the energy from her orb while Steadfast sped off, getting them both away from the soldier as quickly as possible.
"Milady, we must focus on the battle." the Unicorn hummed.
"Yes, but, what can I do? I can't fight! I don't know how!"
"Then we must protect the others that can." the Unicorn replied.
"You're right. Let's go!" Relena said and Steadfast lunched them into the middle of the throng, where swords clashed and arrows soared, where blood, sweat, and tears were the only things that truly lived in then end of it all.
Relena watched out for her fellow party members and aiding them when necessary, Trowa and Felina, along with Tigress and Trance, fought back-to-back style with Trowa firing arrows while Felina's flute played a haunting melody that seemed to make them rather hard to see, as it appeared to be casting a yellowish cloak over them.
Shou and Wufei looked busy, while the Chinese Ninja hacked and slashed his foes down with his lightweight sword, Shou was swooping down and snatching up a light snack of gold-clad men.
Wong took a different approach, choosing to hurl the silver throwing stars down from atop of Chwun, who had also taken a fondness to Knight-meat, her orange eyes glinting dangerously in the sun's setting light.
Duo must have been making good use of his cloak of invisibility as, when Relena looked to her left, she saw soldiers being cut clean in half by an unseen blade, with exception of the green fire-like glow that trailed behind it after it had been swung, and Hawkeye circling above.
Fiora was spotted by the many times by the princess and her steed as they ran through the clashing armies. The Mahogany-haired sea-woman was usually seen pretending to be one of the enemy's men and then cutting them down at the knees, only because she was so much smaller then the others and the Gold-Knights were just so much taller then her, falling victim to her blade's diamond edge. Vertigo sat on the pirate's shoulder, unfazed by the sneak attacks.
Quatre and Jasmine were standing side-by-side as they produced volley after deadly volley of spells and chants that brought hundreds upon thousands of men to their knees and soon to their graves.
But, try as she might, she could not find the male-dryad, who, she was so sure, had the greatest intent to be dead by nightfall. This scared the Princess more then she would have cared to admit; she loved him so much so that she would gladly take his place if given the chance. 'I love him…' she thought, startled by the realization, 'I have fallen in love with a Dryad! How could this be? Oh, Heero, if only you knew. If only I had known sooner, I could have told him, now it might be too late!' her mind cried. "Hurry Steadfast! We have to find Heero, and quickly!" she said, her voice rising over the cries of the wounded and the fallen.
"Yes Milady!" the Unicorn hummed in reply before speeding up for the second time that day.
She found him moments later in a what looked to be a one-on-one duel with a tall, lean, knight with white-blonde hair trailing down his back and peeking a good five inches out from underneath his glimmering silver helm, which hid the man's eyes from her view as it was held up high with a look of smug superiority as he looked down at the Dryad-man. Heero didn't appear to be winning, he was already sporting a long, bloody, gash that started from the bottom edge of his earlobe, across his cheek bone and ended almost touching his lips, which were parted as he panted softly, his chest rising and falling in time with the gusts of air that were brought in and out of his lungs, his eyes glaring out from under his dark mossy-brown bangs at the soldier before him.
Relena dismounted off of Steadfast in an attempt to rush to his aid, but her feet refused to operate, whether this was out of fear for herself or for the Dryad, she didn't know. She could only stand and watch as the one that she loved, but had never admitted it to, fought with this warrior with-- 'What?' she thought, her eyes widening, 'With… is that the Cinq kingdom crest on his shield?' she squinted her eyes to get a better look, 'Yes, most definitely! But, why are they fighting then? I have to stop this! A Cinq guard shouldn't be attacking an ally!'
It was at this moment that the orb in her hand did a curious thing, as it always did at the strangest of moments, it began to glow a dark forest green and, in a bright flash that blinded her for a moment, everything was frozen in time, swords and shields alike held rock still in mid-swing and block, mouths that were screaming death cries no longer uttered a word; they were locked in wide gaping movements that looks as if they were about to say something once again but no voice came forth from the soldiers around her. Relena's friends and comrades were affected as well; the spell casters were caught in their summoning. The Ninja's and their dragon steeds caught in mid-swing and slash, Trowa's arrow was held in its fight from his bow, not by his hand, but by some unknown force, it was also the same as Felina's fingers poised over some note on her flute. Duo was caught in a rather dangerous position, as the hood of his cloak fell off and his eyes were wide, as he looked up at the man in gold armor that was now lifting the braided fool off of the ground. Fiora was frozen in a rather disturbing scene, as she had connected her sword's blade to the bloody flesh of a golden-knight and was just starting to force it through the man's body, the blood spattering all over herself and everything around her.
"What in the world is going on?" Relena's voice echoed slightly before dropping dead upon the battlefield. She gained no answer.
There was another flash and she was in a different world, a world of mists and smoke, a world where one could see all and nothing at the same time. The mists parted to her left and she looked down at a slight angle into at appeared to be a pond of white light, and, within the pool, there played a scene of two people in varying stages of youth, one with short Black-blue hair and the other with long White-blonde:
"Zechs! Wait up! Can't we talk about this?" said the black haired one.
"I can't believe that you didn't tell me. You're a WOMAN Noin! What were you thinking, coming to a war camp, posing as a soldier?" the White haired one, now known as Zechs, said.
"I wanted to fight, I wanted to protect my family! You, of all people, should understand that!"
"What's to understand? You are a woman, Noin, women don't go marching into battles, and risking their lives; that's mans work!"
"Zechs Marquise, just who do you think you are? Acting so high and mighty, if I don't fight who knows what will happen to this kingdom? Cinq is a pacifist nation, we don't even have enough trained soldiers to make up a full army! And, with the whole Peacecraft family line lost, and or dead, there is no one to lead the people!"
"You poor fool." Zechs laughed.
"What?"
"They are not all dead, or lost, or even misplaced. The crown royal, prince Milliardo stands before you now and you are none the wiser for it!"
"What? Where?" Noin looked around franticly for said prince.
"I'm the prince, Noin. STOP THAT!" Zechs said, tapping his foot.
"…You…? A prince? HA!"
"Keep it down, would you? I don't want the whole world to know!" he said in a hushed tone as he clasped his hand over her mouth in an attempt to shut her up. Noin tried to mutter something from behind it that he couldn't quite catch. "What did you say?" he asked, removing his hand.
"I said: What are you doing here then, if you really are the crown prince, shouldn't you be protecting your family then? Or better yet, ruling your country!" Noin snapped.
"You got all that in just one breathe? Impressive." he grinned.
"Shut up, Zechs!"
The scene jumped to that of a darkened room, with a fireplace it's only source of light. Within it's eerie glow stood two men, one with hair of a sandy-ginger color, while the other was, once again, the man known as Zechs, also known as, Milliardo.
"…Do you really think this is a good idea Milliardo?" the sandy haired man's voice asked by the firelight, his shadow cast across the room.
"I don't see any reason why it wouldn't." came Milliardo's reply.
Relena squinted her eyes, as she looked deeper into the pool, there, just barely visible was Fiora, tiptoeing through the shadows just outside the room when she overheard what the two men were saying she stopped to listen in.
"You're taking quite a risk sending all of them, when only just today you discovered that you have enemies, dangerous ones at that. Even with all of your men fighting, you know wouldn't have won had those kids not been there," the man said calmly.
"YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT?" Milliardo shouted, followed by the squeaking/scraping noise of his chair being moved so he could stand up. Milliardo sighed, "You think I don't know that? That we would have surely lost if they weren't there today? I won't even dare to think of what would have happened to my beloved sister and my wife had I been killed. Treize, do you have any idea at all on who it could be that sent the attack?"
"Not a one. But Milliardo, what makes you so sure it's safe to send them all off, from what I've seen, the dryads can take care of themselves, without the aid of humans."
"There is something about those young warriors that I'm not seeing, something that no one can explain. What worries me most is that my little sister is falling in love with that dryad boy, and everyone knows that it would never work, not only is she a princess, and therefore will end up being bound to a pre-decided marriage, but it is rumored to be that a dryad cannot survive for long out in the human world once it has run out of magic." Milliardo mumbled softly, almost to himself.
"Getting a little over protective of her are you Zechs?"
"Don't call me that here, that is the name of a murderer"
"You know as well as I do that you can hide the truth from others, but you can't hide it from yourself Milliardo, the price you paid for revenge is costing you more then you would ever admit"
"Unlike you, I must rule a pacifist nation, Treize, how do you think the people would react if they knew?"
"Most likely there would be fear, possibly some of them might try to overthrow you. But Milliardo, you know just as well as I do that you hate being king, so why is it that you…"
Fiora slipped back into the shadows and moved on.
"…Do you think that she'll say anything?" Milliardo asked suddenly.
"That all will depend on what she heard, and what her true intentions are." Treize replied.
"Hum… I've granted her safety here, I don't think that she would be so foolish as to risk me taking that away."
"Is she really as Wufei said?"
"As far as I can tell, yes… which leads me to wonder, why is she up and about at this hour?"
"The same could be asked of yourself."
"I know that, perhaps it has more to with the 'what' then the 'why'."
"I don't get it, what would she be doing at this time of night? …Or should I say, morning" Treize said, motioning at the window, the sun was just starting to peak from behind the mountains in the east.
"Not would, could is more like it. What could she be doing?"
"It doesn't matter, we most likely will never find out until it's too late, she's probably going to take a different route back to wherever she came from and avoid us completely."
Milliardo nodded in agreement, half listening, half not as he watched the sunrise and a new day begin.
Relena blinked as the pond flashed and the image disappeared. "Why hadn't Fiora said anything to us about this?" she said to herself, still looking at the now blank pool. "Zechs… Milliardo, why do you have two names?" the world flashed around her and she was once again back in the battlefield and, just as she had last left it, it was still as still as a painting on the wall. She looked at the man that fought with Heero, the man's long white-blonde hair caught mid-sway in some stilled breeze. "Brother, have you betrayed us? Have you betrayed me?" she whispered as she slowly walked past the statue-like people around her as she made her way over to the Dryad and the King, her orb's green color slowly fading away.
______________________________________________________________________________ I really hoped to have had this finished in time for Christmas, obviously, that didn't exactly happen! Grrr… I guess you can consider this an early new years gift! And yes, I know, it's still beyond late! But, I promise you, it's almost done, I figure one or two chapters left until the end! Oh, and, if you want, I can make one more chapter after the end of it just so you all can see how everyone ended up, it's not what you would expect, believe me! Lol
Now, because I'm almost done with this fic, I want you all to, in your reviews, to list which fic idea that I have listed below to try next! Next to them I already have some votes listed on which ones some of my IM-ing fans want to see:
1. I know this has already been done, but I think the person that was originally writing it stopped, and besides that, I plan to put a few new twists to if then she did, I'm thinking about going a Gundam wing/Escaflowne fic; it would have five parts to the full series, the first part would be totally Escaflowne (mostly about how Hitomi gets back to Gaea and about her and Van's son, Aden Folken de Kenzaki-Fanel, long name, I know, and how he got separated from them). The second part would be Totally Gundam Wing (this part would be about how Heero discovers the hidden planet, a secret of Odin Lowe, Something that Dr.J left for him and eventually he gets taken to Gaea). The third would be about Heero wandering around on Gaea trying to figure some things out and ending up meeting Van and Hitomi and the things that happen because of it. The fourth part is about Relena and the other G-guys trying to find him and somehow stumbling on the answers, and the way to Gaea themselves. The last is the conclusion.
2. This one is completely original on my part and is an AU unlike any other, that I know of: Heero, a Bounty-hunter, gets lost in a forest while trying to track down the Infamous thief, Duo Maxwell, and finds himself having to camp inside of a cave with a peculiar stream water flowing within it, after testing it and finding it "safe" to drink, Heero has his fill of it, but, unknown to him, quenching his thirst comes at a high price. He wakes up the next morning in the body of a wolf and finds out that he can only be human if there is no sun OR moon out! And now he has either find a cure, learn how to survive as a being of the forests, or else.
3. This one is very common, but I'm willing to try my hand at it: Heero loves Duo, but he also loves Relena; and the feelings are mutual from both of them. What is a guy to do? This would be my first attempt at a yoai fic if I decide to do it.
4. Locked away in a mental institution isn't what she had envisioned what would have happened to Him, him being Heero Yuy, but now, after Relena as seen him locked in there with her own eyes, can she really say that he doesn't belong there?
5. Looking down at the Scrap-yard, she couldn't help but feel more then just a touch of jealousy towards the black-haired blue-eyed ex-oz soldier But also knowing that she wasn't what he needed in his life; she kept her heart out of it, and started working on putting both the Deathscythe pilot and the girl together; even if it killed her.
6. What if Triton Bloom was alive, and he wasn't Trowa? What would No-name do think if he met Cathy's real brother? Would he feel replaced and out-matched compared to the real thing? {two votes for this one already}
7. Relena's guards love to work over-time, they never complain, they think they get paid too much for what little they claim to do, they're selfless, gentle, sweet, kind, caring, lovable...Are. You.

8. "I never want to see your face again, Heero Yuy! Do you hear me? NEVER AGAIN!" Relena really should be more careful about what she wishes for, for now she's blind and Heero is still around. "She doesn't get it, She's drowning in her own--" "Heero, I'm blind not deaf! So please don't talk like I'm not in the room." {one vote for this one}
