Chapter 21:
"That's the last of it." King Heero said helping some of the servants haul gold and silver onto a well guarded carriage. He looked at his cousen and gave a regal bow. "Tell your father I thank him for allowing me to becom a King, and if he needs anymore gold we have some." Climbing down from the back of the carriage he stood next to his new bride.
Relena smiled up at Duo and Prince WuFei who were already horesed for their journey home. "Thank you so much for all you've done."
Duo pretended to blush. "Awww, Princess...I...Oops!" He laughed. "I mean, Queen Relena. It was my pleasure to....wait, that just sounds wrong. I don't mean that it was my pleasure to kill your father or anything...just, Uhhh...how about I just smile and shut up so I don't shove my foot any farther in my mouth?"
"That'll be the first." Prince WuFei muttered, then turned his attention to Relena, ignoring Duo's glare and pout. "We shall expect you to come visit this Christmas your highnesses. No doubt by then both of our countries shall be on their feet again."
With a wave they were off. Relena and Heero watched them retreat untill they could no longer see them anymore. Walking hand in hand Relena led Heero through the royal guarden and to her mother and father's graves. She set a rose on her father's and a rose on her mother's.
Here lies a King who loved his wife, far too much to live.
Relena read the inscription quietly. He had loved her mother so much that there was no more room in his heart for anyone else. He had forgotten to live.
"You're crying."
Relena brushed away her silent tears. "I'm sorry."
"It's alright Relena." Heero said sitting next to the graves and pulling her down to sit in his lap. "I know that you loved them, both of them, very much."
"They were all I had."
Heero nodded then nuzzled her softly. "Well now you don't have them, and you have me. Things will get better."
They were quiet for a moment, thinking. "Thank you for the funeral, that was very noble of you." Relena said quietly.
Heero sighed. "It was the right thing to do. After all, it wasn't completely his fault for the way he acted. When his wife died he died. All that was left was a shell. He neglected everything important, you, and the kingdom. You've blossomed despite it all, all that's left is the Kingdom."
Relena rested her head on his. "Yes," she smiled. "and I plan on making a beautiful garden."

::Smile:: Finished! How do you like the annalogy (sp) of having the kingdom as a garden? ::shrug:: It just kinda came to me, I dont know if I like it or not. ^.^' But it's what I have. Well, Review peoples! Thanx!
NOTE: For those of you who are following (or used to) Vampire's Kiss, I am going to continue with it. Expect new chapters to pop up soon. And I mean, VERY soon! I've been writing like mad, I just have to transfer it all over to computer.
