Kidnapped!

By: BrittbeeLynn Chapter 6: Unpredictable Woman

"Tell me about yourself."

"I was raised along with Heero Yuy. I was to be a perfect soldier, yet only one could take the mission. We were given many tests to find the best man for the job, but we proved to be equal. On one final attempt to find the most qualified, the simulation involved killing an innocent young girl. I could not do it, and Heero did. A perfect soldier cannot have emotions, so Heero was given the job. I was sent out to protect Heero. I was told that it was my mission to continue Heero's mission if he failed. I had to keep out of sight completely. When the war ended, I came to live with my grandparents. My grandmother recently died and my grandfather went to live in his yacht off the coast of Puerto Rico. I found around a hundred families in financial destitution and offered to bring them here in exchange for their services. I decided to come out of my secluded castle about 3 months ago. I couldn't get you off my mind and decided to go to your ball. I found you tired, sad, overworked, and heart broken, with Heero there only to make it worse, so I decided to take you away."

"You were raised along with Heero?"

"Yup."

"So that's how you came to know me so well."

"Yup."

"Can I go back to my room now?" she asked coldly.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." she lied. He will be just like Heero. Make me love him and leave me out in the cold.

"Well, you're not going until you tell me what's bothering you, so start talking." he demanded. Unfortunately, Relena was just as stubborn as ever and shook her head.

"Fine."

"Fine." she matched his emotionless tone of voice. Relena soon felt drowsy and started dozing.

"You aren't supposed to sleep until you tell me what's wrong." he complained.

"Mmmmm." she mumbled in response and promptly rested her head on his arms and fell asleep. Jordan realized there was no use in waking her, and carried her up to her room. He gently kissed her forehead and walked back to his room.

Heero had been working on recovering Relena for over a week now. He had been working tirelessly for days and nights with minimal sleep. He had finally decided to search Relena's room once more. Fate was finally on his side when he found a single strand of material. It was brown. A color that Relena never wore. He took it into his lab and after careful analysis, found a company that made gloves out of this material. He was in luck; the thread was of a very fine quality and few people could afford it. He searched for a buyer that would match Jordan and found none. He searched each name he had found through hacking into private computers. Only one could have possibly been Jordan. Not so perfect are you Jordan? he thought smugly. There wasn't much to go on, but careful and thorough work found a piece of land that had been bought by the same name. A huge piece of land. Heero would check it out immediately. He didn't bother to tell anyone else at all. They had carefully hidden the fact that Relena was missing and would soon have to reveal to the public what had happened.
Heero arrived on the plot of land to discover a castle in the center of the land that could have easily held a thousand people. It was huge. Heero walked in and only as he could eliminated rooms through logic. He figured out which rooms could not be Relena's and which could be. He had 3 that could be in the end. Only three had female furnishings such as a young woman would have. One was made for a Queen. It had a balcony and everything. Heero decided that it was the one.

He climbed up slowly and quietly, disturbing no one. When he had made it, he stepped into the room and was pleased to discover a young woman lying on the bed. He walked over and found her hair was honey blonde, and she was Relena's height. Gently, Heero scooped Relena up and carried her to the balcony. He didn't have time to wake her and convince her to come with him. Relena looked unharmed and for that he was grateful. He hadn't thought Jordan would hurt her, but it was reassuring to know for sure. Heero got Relena out of the house and put her into his jet. It was silent and glided through the night unheard by anyone. Heero had his princess. Now, what to do with her? he asked himself. I'll play kidnapper as well. No one will notice if she changes hands from Jordan to me. Why not. Heero carried Relena to a place that only he knew existed. It wasn't as luxurious as Jordan's place, but it was just as secluded. Heero placed Relena in a bedroom and went to another to sleep and plan what he would do. Love was much like fighting a war at times, he thought. You have to plan, carry out, and plan again. I can do this. And with that thought, he promptly fell asleep.

Relena awoke, disoriented. Where am I she thought. Her softer than soft bed was not there. In it's place was a regular bed, not unlike her old one. She was in a little house. Relena went to the window and peered out. There was a beautiful landscape, similar to Jordan's, but at the same time, totally different. Relena got up and went to the door. She peered out and saw a hallway.

Ok, she thought, exploration time... Relena went down the hall and opened every door in the house. She found 2 other bedrooms similar to hers, a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and a room with someone sleeping in it. Relena walked into the room and tapped the man on the shoulder, or at least she thought it was his shoulder. He was completely covered by blankets. It's not that cold, she thought. With a groan, the man turned.

Heero was awakened by a tap on his shoulder. He groaned and turned over. When he pulled his head out from under his comforter, he saw the shocked, but beautiful face of Relena Peacecraft.

"Hi." he said tonelessly.

"What am I doing here, Heero?" she asked quietly, yet without a trace of emotion.

"I kidnapped you from Jordan." he told her as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"What? Why didn't you take me back to the Cinq Kingdom?" she asked incredulously.

"Because I kidnapped you. I would be found if I took you there. For a Queen, Relena, you aren't very smart."

"Uggghhhh!" she groaned in disgust. "Heero, you are the most frustrating person I have ever met!"

"Thank you. Anyway, I have decided that a person who is kidnapped isn't supposed to have fun, so clean my house. I will be back at 10 tonight and it had better be clean." with that, he got up and left.

"I am NOT cleaning your house, so forget it."

"If you don't I'll kill you." he said mechanically.

"Go right on ahead." she matched his tone, challenging him. Heero whipped out his ever present gun and pointed it at her. He pressed the trigger and a single shot whizzed by Relena's left ear and through the open window. A bird shrieked and fell to the ground. Heero put away his gun.

"Fine, I'm gone. I don't care if you clean up. There's no way you could escape and live, so don't waste your efforts."

"Fine." Heero left and Relena went to the sofa in the living room and laid down. There was no TV, phone, computer, or anything to amuse herself with, so Relena went to sleep. When Relena awoke, she smelled something delicious. She got up and followed her nose to the kitchen. It was around 12 o'clock and she hadn't eaten breakfast, so she was pretty hungry. She found Heero eating fried chicken in the kitchen.

"You're awake."

"You weren't supposed to be back until 10." Heero gave her a look that clearly stated, "So." Relena decided that if he was going to be rude, she could do without him and walked away to her room without a word. Her stomach was not easily forgotten, but she would be fine. Relena went to her window and looked out. She would daydream. Although she was grown up, she still loved live in her own little world, away from the harsh reality of the real world.

Heero was surprised. He had planned on watching Relena all day. It was his favorite past time. Unfortunately, Relena had simply gone to sleep and he had grown bored watching her. He had decided to make a wonderful meal and see what her reaction would be. He was toying with her and he knew it was unfair, but it was amusing. Relena had foiled his plans yet again by not asking for his food at all. He could tell she was hungry by the flicker that had passed through her eyes as she had entered the kitchen, but for some reason she didn't want to eat. Heero was puzzled. He had been so sure he knew Relena. She used to be so expressive. If she didn't tell him how she felt, she had conveyed it with her beautiful blue eyes, but she seemed to be very good at masking her feelings now. He was beginning to see that Relena had grown up. She was no longer a predictable child, she was an unpredictable woman. Heero decided to take Relena home. It was pointless to continue this any longer. He rose to go to her room. When he arrived, he found everything a mess and an open window. On the floor was blood. Heero could only hope it was the person's blood who had taken Relena and not Relena's. He ran outside and followed the trail of blood until he found helicopter tracks.
