Chapter 6: Meeting Riku
Heero awoke, and blinked at the streams of sunlight that were entering the room. He didn't dare move, because he didn't want to wake Relena. Then he noticed Relena wasn't there. He sat up with a start, and turned to look at the clock. It read 7:30 am. Shocked he jumped out of bed and quickly changed into a pair of kaki pants and a white sleeveless shirt. He travelled quickly to Relena's room, only to find it empty. "Shit! Where is she?" Heero asked no one in particular. He headed down to the kitchen. There he was greeted by all his friends.
"Hey Man." Duo said casually. "Where's the babe?" "I was hoping you'd know." "You Lost Her!" Milliardo said loudly. "How?" "I slept in." Heero retorted. "She's in the garage." Wufie said calmly, after emerging into the kitchen. "I saw her down there earlier this morning. About 5." "What in the hell is she doing down there?" Hilde asked "Playing with her car. I don't understand all the technical shit she was babbling about, but all I know is, you don't want to go down there." Wufie said grinning. "Oh, no! What's she done now?" Heero asked "Why don't you go see for yourselves, truthfully, she's quite a go getter."
They all ran down to the garage, to find a tonne of cardboard boxes, plastic bags and car parts spewed all over the garage floor. They could hear a radio going from Heero's car. They approached the car and found the whole thing gutted. Wufie was grinning from the site of everyone's faces. They all stood shell-shocked. 'What in god's name is she doing TO MY CAR!' Heero screamed to himself. "My car." Relena was startled by the intruders and bumped her head from her position under the car. "FUCK!" She stood up in the bonnet, where the engine should have been, rubbing her head, where a small lump had produced. "Damn it! Next time tell me you're here!" "What the Fuck have you done to my car?" Heero said, truly pissed. He adored his car and his motorbike as well. "Not a lot really, just decided it was about time you guys had some fun with these beasts." "FUN? You just gutted my car! It's all over the bloody garage! HOW IS THAT FUN?" "Chill. It's not all over the garage, just there." She said pointing to what looked like a collection of scrap metal. "No offence Heero, but your car was a slow old Granny. I'm changing that." She disappeared under the car again, fiddled with a few things the group couldn't see, before emerging up again. "Give me a hand will yah darl." Relena said. Heero, slowly helped lift her out of the car and put her down, he found himself thinking of that mornings little encounter with Relena, and backed away. She wasn't wearing the pj's from last night. She had gotten back into the clothes they found her in at the garage. Her clothes were covered in grease and oil from all the maintenance work she had been doing all morning. "Okay, I need you 3," she said pointing to Heero, Duo and Trowa, "To help me get this engine back in." She walked over to what looked like a mini crane. The guys helped her strap in the new engine, before Relena used the lift to place the engine into the bonnet. After that was done, she was back under the car.
Heero was inspecting the work that Relena had done. It was different, very different. There were all these new controls panels, computer screens and buttons all over the steering wheel and dashboard area. The passenger door opened and Relena hopped in. "I'm here to give you a few lessons with this new baby." "Okay." Heero responded quietly, still uncomfortable about what Relena had done to him last night. "This here, she said pointing to a small laptop, is your life. It's going to tell you how the car is running, fuel intake, NOS control, all your shit. Don't fuck it up." She said seriously. "Right." "Now these little beauties here." She said, pointing to two little red buttons on the steering wheel. "Are your control to the NOS system. Press this, and you'll be busting speeds up to 210 km/h." "Cool." He said again, inspecting his car with amazed eyes. "This is really great. I owe you big time." He said staring at her with sheer joy displayed all over his face. He lent in slowly and gave her a quick kiss on the forehead, before jumping out of the car. "C'mon, we have to go grab your stuff."
They whole gang decided to try out their new and improved cars. Relena obviously loved playing with cars. As all of their cars had NOS systems and high tech gadgets all over the dash boards and steering wheels. Relena had also connected a COM unit onto each car and motorbike that her friends owned. They were all set, and ready to rumble.
"Let's go for a little ride." Relena said excitedly, as they all jumped into their respected cars. "Follow me, considering you can finally keep up." She said, speeding out of the garage with six cars tailing her. Wufie and Sally were in a black Subaru with red Chinese symbols and a dragon on the side. Dorothy was driving a black Mitsubishi Evo, while Quatre sat next to her, shit scared at how fast they were going. Duo had persuaded Hilde to let him drive their Toyota Supra Turbo. It too was black, because of club rules, all cars had to be black. Trowa was driving with Catherine in a Skyline, while Noin and Milliardo were cruising in a black Mitsubishi Eclipse.
They all followed Relena to her house. It was a mansion, but not as big as the gang's mansion. They all parked their cars on the street and walked into the huge mansion. Relena instantly headed to the kitchen and pulled out a tray of raw meat on it. "Are you having a Barbeque?" Duo asked, his eyes staring at the plate of raw steaks. "No, I didn't get a chance to feed Riku last night, he's going to be so crabby!" "Man, how big is this Riku?" Sally asked shocked at how much one person could eat. "When he's standing, uh, taller than Duo." Duo looked shocked. He was the tallest of the whole group.
Relena walked out the back with the tray of steaks and placed them on the table before entering back into the house. "He'll eat when he's ready." She said to the group. "Right now I have to go collect our stuff." "Relena. Remember there is no 'we'" Milliardo said aggravated at her stubbornness. "Once again," Relena said heading upstairs to her room, "I'm not leaving without him."
Hilde, Dorothy and Catherine followed Relena upstairs to help her pack her stuff up, while the rest of the group sat in the lounge room and waited. "She's so stubborn." Milliardo said aggressively. "True, but should we really be trying to get rid of the only person that Relena has left of her new life?" Trowa said calmly. "Her new life is dangerous, and I'd rather she did leave all those people behind." Milliardo retaliated. "She's not your baby sister anymore Milliardo." Heero said coolly. "She grown up, and she knows what she wants, and how to get it." "What are you saying?" Said Duo, looking at his friend. "Well, I'm just saying that Relena, has, well she's changed, she's not the person we used to know." Heero said, not willing to tell the others about what had happened earlier that morning. Duo knew though, he had a knack for finding out things, and he was going to find out what had happened to make Heero uneasy with Relena. 'Maybe he made a move on her and she rejected him.' He thought to himself.
"Okay we're done." Came Catherine's voice from the entranceway to the lounge. They all stood and headed over to the girls and helped by placing the two suitcases into Relena's car. "Okay, lets get going." Sally said. "Wait, I gotta get Riku." Relena said hurriedly. "Relena." They all groaned. "Just come with me and meet him. I'm sure you'll change your mind." She said racing to the garage.
The other followed, each to their own thoughts, until they entered the garage. It was huge! There was another car in there, this one wasn't as nice as the other one Relena had, but they could tell she was working on it with all the designs on the wall, the tools, parts, accessories and computer equipment splayed all over the place.
"This is Sylvia." Relena said. Her eyes twinkling with love and admiration at the car. "She's going to be the fastest car in the street one of these days." "So where's this Riku guy then huh?" Asked Wufie. He was interested to see him. He had a hunch that they were going to be very surprised by the end of this. "He's in the back seat." Relena said calmly, quickly striding over to her other car and leaning into it. Smiling she drew her arms into the car and gave the Riku an affectionate hug and a quick kiss on the forehead.
'Bastard.' Was all Heero could think of as Relena continued to snuggle with Riku. Eventually, she drew back from the car and opened the door. "Guys I'd like to introduce Riku."
They all stood shell-shocked. "But Relena, that's a." Milliardo began, but couldn't find the words to finish.
Heero awoke, and blinked at the streams of sunlight that were entering the room. He didn't dare move, because he didn't want to wake Relena. Then he noticed Relena wasn't there. He sat up with a start, and turned to look at the clock. It read 7:30 am. Shocked he jumped out of bed and quickly changed into a pair of kaki pants and a white sleeveless shirt.
