Holding back ch 5

Hey everyone. Sorry for not updating. School is getting crazy now. Well, enough chatter. Here's ch 5. It may be short but oh well I tried.

Growing anger

"Relena? Can I come in?" Noin asked.

" Relena! Open this door!" Zechs yelled.

" Milliardo Peacecraft! Don't yell. It will only make things worse," Noin said to her husband.

" Relena. Please, at least let me in. Talking will make things better. Trust me."

" Noin, don't let my brother in."

" Fine sweetheart."

Noin told Zechs to leave as she entered Relena's room. She was shocked when she saw the normally clean room a mess. There were broken vases on the floor and glass from a mirror that joined them. The bear Heero had given was also on the ground, along with sheets and many other things.

Noin sat on the sheetless bed and looked around the room again. It looked like there was a fight. Noin of all people knew that it was a fight between herself. When Relena walked out of the bathroom, she sat on the bed, next to her sister-in-law. She didn't look at her though. She didn't want Noin to see she was upset.

"Relena. It's alright," Noin said while holding her sister-in-law close and stroking her hair.

" I hate him! I hope he never comes back. You know why he left? He said because he had to. Is he that afraid of me?"

" He's not afraid of you. I think he's afraid of what he's feeling."

" Wufie was right, you know. Cowards don't deserve a person's love. Heero definitely deserve mine."

"I don't think that's true. Now clean up your face and come downstairs for dinner."

" I'm not hungry"

"Fine." Noin said to Relena as she left the room. She decided to look for a very dead or soon to be dead Wufie Chang. She found him sitting at the table with Duo. She gave both of them a smile and then went to sit down next to her husband.

During dinner, Wufie, Trowa, and Quatre were silent. Duo was stuffing his face as usual. Noin stared at Wufie all through dinner. Zechs noticed how disturbed his wife was and asked her what was wrong. Noin just looked at him and stared right back at Wufie. Zechs remained quiet. He was worried about his wife's temperament, but more concerned about his sister who again did not come down to eat.

After dinner, everyone left the table to do whatever they were doing earlier. Noin stopped Wufie before he entered his room.

" How is she?' Wufie said, " what?"

"She's horrible. Now listen. Why don't you stick your honor somewhere else."

Wufie gave her a stare and then walked into his room. Noin went back downstairs. When Noin went downstairs, Zechs was waiting for her on the couch. She sat down next to her husband, and laid her head on his shoulder.

" What did he do?'

" Nothing Zechs. He just said a few things he shouldn't have. That's all."

As Zechs watched TV, Noin fell asleep. When Noin woke up, she was alone on the couch. She could hear yelling in the hall, so she went to investigate. Everyone, including Relena, were arguing about something, but couldn't figure out why.

" Milliardo, I will not leave!" Relena yelled.

" Relena, maybe a vacation would do you good?" Quatre said.

"No!" she yelled again.

" Hey! Come on Relena. How about me and Hilde just take you somewhere to eat maybe. You need to get out of this house of this house."

" Good idea. Relena, you go out with Duo and Hilde. It will do you good. Noin added.

" I'll think about it. Now leave me alone!" Relena said as ran up stairs to her room and slammed the door. Then, all eyes turned on Wufie. Somehow, everyone knew about the encounter between him and Relena.

" You know. Heero isn't such a bad guy, Wufie. You know him. He'll come back. Duo said as he went to see Relena.

As he went upstairs, he heard more arguing and then saw Wufie fly into the wall. Apparently, he something to Zechs he shouldn't have.

When Duo entered Relena's room, he too saw how destroyed it was.

" Hey reel." he said as he sat next to her on the bed. He could tell she was holding back tears. When she looked at him, it was as if he was saying go ahead. Cry. So she did. Duo held her in his arms consoling her. After she stopped crying, he helped her clean her room. After a while, he was actually able to get her to smile, but at one point there was only silence then, the silence was broken by Relena's sigh.

"You know? I hate him. I really hate him."

"Hey come-on. Give him another chance Relena."

"No. I've waited so many years for him to show he cared. He has no more time. I've given up on him."

"Don't give up on him. I know he loves you. He's just afraid to say so."

Relena was silent.

" Hey. You going with us to eat? Hilde would love it if you came."

" I don't know."

" Come on. Please." Duo said looking at Relena with his puppy dog eyes he always uses to get his way. " I bet you'll eat too."

" Is that why? Because I haven't eaten?"

" No. But Relena, you haven't eaten in almost a week. That's not good. We're all worried."

"I'm fine. And yes. I guess I'll go."

" Yes!" Duo shouted as he jumped in the air and then, hugged Relena. Then, he left the room.

When Duo went downstairs, he saw Wufie sitting at the table while Sally got him an ice pack.

"Hey. You alright wu-man." Duo asked

" You should have seen him earlier. He was unconscious. Zechs beat him up bad. He would have killed him if the others didn't intervene…. Oh here Wufie." She said as she handed Wufie the ice pack, which he placed on his eye.

"Wow! That bad huh. Hey Wu-man. What are you doin tomorrow night? You want to come with us?"

"She's going?"

"Yeah. I'm going to see if the others want to go to. I think she needs time alone with her friends."

"Sure." Wufie said as he went to go lie down on the couch. Sally also went. She sat down by Wufie's feet as he fell asleep, head resting on the arm of the couch. Sally sat and watched some TV.

~~~The next day~~~~

Duo, Hilde, Quatre, Trowa, and Relena were getting ready to go to dinner. That was, until Zechs found out Wufie was going.

Ok.well? How was it? I need to know, so review. Oh before I forget. Thank you to everyone who's ever reviewed. I won't have the next chapter up for a while but you never know.

I don't own gundam wing either. Bandai does. That sucks. (That's for further reference just in case.) ttyl.
