More Than Meets The Eye
Chapter 4
After a few more minutes, The whole gang finally made it to the small Plateau where they
expected to find Relena. Leaving their bikes half-hidden in the wildlife. they walked around
a bit. Sure enough, There was a red bike hidden in some side bushes.
Heero Walked under a large tree to and felt a drop of water land on his head. Looking up, he
saw a petite huddled form.
"Relena?" He squinted at the figure, trying to make out characteristics.
"Damn!" He saw the figure's head snap up and it's hands wiping furiously at it's eyes.
Jumping up, he caught hold of a few branches and climbed closer to the dark form. Soon, he
Could make out Relena's clothes, face and hands.
"Damnit Heero! Don't get any closer." She stood up and climbed a bit higher.
"Why not?" Despite her warning, he still advanced on her.
"Because," she went up higher, "I don't want anyone to see me like this!"
"What's wrong with letting people see you cry?" He went a little higher, to see her face.
But she went up too. "You wouldn't understand!"
Heero stayed there and thought for a moment, before moving to climb up more. But as he was
about to jump, he could hear Meiran's voice call out, "Heero! What are you doing? Give her
her space!"
She scrambled up the tree herself, stopping a few branches below Heero. "Damnit Heero! She
wants you to stay away so respect the girl!"
Heero hesitated a moment before climbing down to the bottom. Meiran looked up towards Relena
and waited for her to calm down. "Relena? Can I come up now?"
A moment of silence.
"Yeah... sure." Climbing up slowly, she watched her friends face the entire time. She
climbed up to Relena, and perched herself on a branch nearby.
"Oh Meiran, I can't take this." Although calmer than before, her face was streamed with tears
and a look of complete sorrow covered it. "I told him, told him that I should stay home more,
but he insisted I stayed with my friends. He told me not to worry, but he grew worse
everyday..."
Meiran sat with her friend, a bit of comfort when she needed it most. "And you know what?
That man had the nerve to tell me that he wanted me to be happy! Of all the things... He
could've told me to do well in school... or as his replacement, but he tells me something so
incredibily unselfish... That... That... God! How am I ever suppose to compare to that!? And
all the reporters and people and... GOD!"
Meiran looked thoughtful for a minute and finally spoke up. "Relena, can't you just give up
the position? Then choose someone else to fill it up?"
Relena's little golden head looked up. "Didn't you hear my interview? If the wrong person
took up the position, we might just find ourselves in another war! The only person I can
trust is someone with my father's views!"
"But you don't have those views."
"No but I can understand how a pacifist mind works. I know what's best for the people."
"You can't be the only one! What a fifteen-year-old girl can do a full grown man could at
least compare to."
"How many people have gone through what I've been through? How many people have seen what
I've seen?"
"Relena... We all have gone through war and so has everyone else, there is a world out there."
"I suppose so, but I'm still not going to step down until I find that person who can do this
job right."
Meiran smiled at her friend. Everything she had ever been through, nothing had been able to
break the girl's spirit.
"Are you ready to come down now?"
"Yeah... sure."
*~*~*~*~*
When the two had reached the bottom, Trowa was surprised to see that Heero had been with the
first to Check up on Relena, but also the first to back up. He leaned on the tree until the
crowd had dispersed and went to stand beside the other guys.
He gave Heero a quizzical look, which he shrugged off, and led the others towards their
bikes. The ride back was rather normal, though they hid Relena the best they could from the
public. Arriving at the house, they quietly said their goodbyes and went home, at least most
of the others did.
"Trowa." Trowa whirled around to find the owner of the small voice. Midii stood before him,
anger swirled in her eyes.
"Midii." He nodded in greeting. Try as he might, he could help the small tingle of fear that
crept up upon looking at her slitted eyes.
"I want to know why you guys followed us even when we clearly stated that we did not want you
to." To his annoyance, she kept cool through her little rant, though her face told a
different story.
"Duo, lead the way, we followed." Midii was getting annoyed, her entire body showed it.
"It's one thing if you work with us, but it's another to get into our business." Midii's eyes
slitted. "And you shouldn't follow Duo, he's dumb, and trouble tends to follow the dumb ones."
*~*~*~*~*
Noin Walked into her small apartment at 8:00 that night. No sooner did she step in was she
blinded with a blur of platinum.
"Noin!" Milliardo Peacecraft, or Zechs Marquise as he was known now, gripped both of her
shoulders and looked at her with wild, questioning eyes. "How is she? Is she hurt? Will she
be okay?"
"Zechs! Zechs, damnit, don't scare me like that." Noin buried her face in her roommate's
chest to calm down her nerves.
"Sorry Noin but I have to know, how's she doing... My father dying couldn't of had a good
effect on her." He led Noin over to their couch and sat down. "So how is she?"
"Tell you what," Noin smiled and placed a reassuring hand on Zech's shoulder, "She's a
strong kid." Zech's head lifted to look at her. "And even if she wasn't, she has the greatest
to friends back her up through anything." She squeezed her friend's shoulder to reassure him
of any doubts. "Don't worry, she'll be fine."
"In case you've forgotten, my sister has just been elected to lead hundreds of people towards
peace, and by looking at her interview," He looked away and stared out the window, "she's not
going to give it up easily."
Noin noticed his reaction and grew worried. "What's wrong?"
"In her interview, they asked about me, if she would let me have the position if I came back.
She said that she'd never let someone like me have it. I was completely irresponsible, and a
coward. As a world leader, she had to think of her people, think of what was best for them...
And I had none of the qualities. The world didn't need another coward leader, and what's
worse... it's all true." Zechs' sad eyes were directed at everything but her, ashamed of
himself, and not wanting his best friend to see it.
"Zechs... That's not true, she doesn't know everything yet..."Noin comforted the young man
beside her. She knew how much he regretted running away all those years ago. With her eyes,
she traced the scars from the people who had pummeled his face. He used that in effort to
change the look of his face. She met him soon after, a young blonde whose dyed hair was
beginning to fade. He introduced himself as an orphan whose parents were killed in the war.
It had taken years for him to open up to her and tell her his real past and let her be a
friend. The only other person this close to him was Trieze, a rich young man only two years
older then them both.
They had met when Trieze had taken a liking to Anne, and insisted on meeting all the other
people she knew, hoping to make new friends in the city he had recently moved to. Although
Trieze was from a line of royalty, he ignored it and befriend the younger, poorer children.
Years had past and Trieze learned of Milliardo's past and family. When he graduated college,
he opened an agency of bodyguards and invited Zechs to join as soon as he could. He
concentrated on making a reputation and getting hired by the Peacecraft househould. Anne,
being Trieze's right hand person and fiance, helped him built his business and founded the
Preventors.
At first, Trieze had found out by walking into them in the middle of a conversation, but when
Zechs learned of his efforts, he held Trieze as a true friend. Zechs, although, kept his
sister's protection on his mind always, he used to spy on her every now and then to make sure
she was alright... Imagine his surprise when he found Relena working on a constructions site!
Noin also befriended Relena in effort to help Zechs relax a bit. It worked, just not by much.
Throughout the thirteen years that Zechs and her had been friends, Noin had grown
affectionate about him, though he never seemed to return those feelings. The other girls knew
it too, though they never mentioned it. Admittedly, Noin was growing tired of Zechs'
blindness but she couldn't blame him, he had a sister to watch over, whether she knew it or
not.
"Zechs... I think it's time you joined Trieze." Noin brushed a few strands of his hair before
she caught herself and dropped her hands. "I heard Relena has heard of their reputation and
is considering them. If you join, Trieze might be able to place you as one of her bodyguards."
Zechs stumbled out of his little reverie and looked at her with wide admirational eyes. "Noin,
you are a blessing, that's a great idea!"
Noin grinned as Zechs began to lighten up and began to feel more comfortable around him.
"Yeah, now you won't grow grey hairs worrying about her all them time." Zechs gave her a half-
smile. "But you are going to have to cover your eyes a bit, they make you two look so much
alike." She smiled back at him, knowing he'd sleep peacefully tonight.
*~*~*~*~*
"What idiots! How hard is it to get a simple message through those thick heads of theirs?"
Hilde, Midii, Meiran and Dorothy grinned at their friend sitting at a desk full of papers.
In the few weeks after the incident, Relena had dropped out of school and gotten a private
scholar to come whenever she could. The other girls had quit their jobs and Jack's
Construction Agency and began to work with Relena in her office. Though it wasn't as fun,
they wanted to do everything they could to help their friend in the least way. And they
could talk a little bit about gossip and such.
Meiran, Hilde, Dorothy and Midii couldn't sign any papers or reply to any requests, of course,
but they sped up the proccess by rereading and writing out the outlines and important details
for Relena. They sometimes threw away papers that they thought Relena shouldn't even bother
with. Of course, during school hours, Relena would have to read through all of the documents
until they were dismissed from school.
Such as right now.
"Hm, I guess old age isn't exactly the key to wisdom." Dorothy grinned at the smaller blonde
cussing at the other politics.
Hilde walked right up to Relena and tapped her on the head. "My, my, Relena, you must watch
your language, you never know who's watching." Wagging a finger infront the now grinning Vice
Foreign Minister.
"Hn. Easy for you to say, you haven't read at least twenty proposals to have more weapons...
From the same people you rejected mere days ago." Relena held out the offending papers. "They
always say the same thing, only in different words. Next thing you know, they'll be sending
The same words but in different languages."
As Relena wrote a rejection letter to yet another world leader, the other four picked up a
few papers and pens and started themselves.
"Anyways, so Relena, did you know some of the guys been asking for you?" Midii was determined
to start a conversation to fill the void.
"Hn. Guys as in around school, or as in those idiots who followed you to the plateau?"Relena
eyed Hilde and waited for a reaction.
"Former, not the latter. And FYI, one of those idiots happen to be my boyfriend!" Reaction
granted. "Oh, and speking of the numbskull, I got to go and 5:30, we have a date at six."
"Don't you think you need more time to prepare for the night." Midii tool her eyes off the
paper to bat her eyelashes at the dark haired girl.
"Funny Midii, but I'm not one of those ditzy girls (AN: No offence guys!) whose biggest worry
is the other's boyfriends."
Dorothy listened to the chatter of her friends and smiled; nothing like a sweet, sisterly,
chat.
*~*~*~*~*
AN: WHEEEEE!!!! I'm done! he he he, I got 5 pages here and I'm sooo very proud. So anyways,
we did get to meet someone else here, and we learn more about Lena's brother O_o. I'm so
happy I finished this one before I got to go on the internet again. Also I will be moving this
a bit where it might get more traffic on August 8th. It will still be on Action/Adventure,
but if you have been searching for the characters Heero and Relena, just don't touch those.
ok then.. bubye!
