Chapter 11: Rivalry
It was eight in the morning before Relena woke up. Heero had been just lying underneath her, gently caressing her back, and running his fingers through her soft golden hair. She stirred slightly, blinking furiously against the day's light before looking up at Heero.
"Morning beautiful." He said softly to her.
"Morning." She mumbled back, obvious still sleep deprived. Heero brought Relena up and began to kiss her softly. They broke apart at the sound of Heero's door bursting open and Milliardo barging into the room. He stared at the couple for a few seconds before he regained his composure.
"We got a problem." Milliardo said seriously, staring at Heero intently. Heero, not needing to be told twice, gently eased Relena off him and sat up, sliding his way to the edge of the bed. (With the sheet still covering him I might add.) He grabbed his boxers and shoved them on, before heading over to his drawers and grabbing a pear of jeans and jumping into them. Relena had jumped out of the bed, taking the sheet with her to cover herself, headed over to Milliardo.
"What's going on? If this is about me and Heero sleeping together I swear I'll.." She didn't get to finish as Milliardo stared at her fixedly.
"This isn't about you two. I'm actually not upset at all." He said calmly. Both Heero and Relena raised their eyebrows at him. 'No way. This can't be my brother.' Relena thought seriously. 'He would have flipped.'
"So then, what is it?" She asked, curious as to what the problem could mean and why it was affecting her brother mentally.
"Can't say." Milliardo said seriously. "But He has to come with me and find out." Milliardo said nodding his head towards Heero, who was thrusting shoes upon his feet.
"Hey! What about me?" Relena said offended. "I have a rite to know too!"
"Not this time sweetheart." Heero said gravely, standing up and heading over to her with dressed in his jeans, black hiking boots and a blue button up shirt that was open. Kissing her lightly on the forehead he and Milliardo left.
******************************************
"How long?" Milliardo asked casually, assessing what he had seen that morning.
"Only last night." Replied Heero.
"I'm happy for you two." Milliardo said. Although his tone contradicted his statement.
"Thanks." Heero said. His mind was racing with a thousand different thoughts at once. All of them, beginning and ending with Relena. The two walked in silence after that. They headed to the garage and sped out the door heading to another of the gangs mansions. This mansion, however, was used solely for Pop alone. Parking in the mansions garage the two jumped out of Milliardo's car and headed into one of the large rooms upstairs. They entered to find the all, except Quatre and Dorothy of the Gundam boys and girls. Quatre, being the Vice Foreign Minister had a job to do. However, he was listening intently along with Dorothy in his office as he went over a few more delegation reports. There were also a few other members from the Wolf gang. Including Dom.
"Ah, at last." Pop said seriously. "We expected you to be up hours ago Heero."
"Sorry." He said sincerely, taking a seat next to Wufie and across from Duo. Duo gave Heero a welcoming wink before his attention was once again back on Pop. The silence was unbearable for everyone. The same question was running through all of their minds. 'What was the big problem?'
"Our Rival Gang." Pop started. He, however, didn't need to continue. Everyone knew what was coming.
"Does this mean.." Catherine asked quietly, almost silently, her nerves stopped her from finishing.
"Yes, I'm afraid so." Pop said, he knew what they were all wondering. "War."
******************************************
Relena had run to her room, still clutching the sheet to her bare body, after Heero and Milliardo had left. She walked over to her bathroom and had a relaxing warm shower, and washed her hair in her favourite shampoo. (It's Vo5 by the way. I as a user recommend it. My hair used to be really frizzy. I'm talking about Hermione from Harry Potter frizzy, and now it's Silky smooth. True story! Sorry, back to the story.) After drying off, she headed to back into her room to go change.
******************************************
Silence accompanied the news that the gangs had heard. Word would be sent to every member of both gangs and they would be alerted to the threat posed by their rivalling gang.
"I have feared for many a time now, that our civil bickering could lead us to War against the Tigers. But I never thought it would be so sudden, so brash." Pop said contemplatively. "It must be a new leader, that has ordered this War."
"A new leader?" Quatre's voice asked from an intercom. "Are you saying that their leader died?"
"More like a Mutiny." Dom spoke, for the first time. "They didn't like the peace plans, so they disposed of the leader. Right?"
"That would be my guess." Pop answered. "I believe they want this place for themselves. And I'm not sure about you, but I'm not willing to give it away."
"Yeah. This is our town so they can either buckle up and enjoy the ride or get out of the car." A wolf member with Blonde spiked hair, creamy white skin and a black shirt, said excitedly.
"War's aren't a game you know!" Catherine stood yelling at the young wolf. "People Die!" This seemed to have brought the young man back to reality. "One day your friends could be there, all happy and smiling, the next, Gone!" Trowa stood up and put his arm around his girlfriend.
"It's okay Cathy." He said quietly in her ear. "We'll try the best we can to keep everyone we know safe." They both sat down and the meeting commenced once more, on how they were going to deal with their enemy.
******************************************
She was home alone. Everyone else was gone. It was just herself and Riku. Relena walked out into the immense backyard with a plate of meat for Riku. She had changed into a pair of kaki pants and a black spaghetti strap top, putting her dog tags on. It didn't take Riku long to emerge from his favourite set of shrubs and sprint over to her, before gorging himself.
It was a beautiful day, and Relena wasn't one to let it be spent in the house, even if her car could do with a little bit more work. 'I could always do it out here.' She thought to herself, examining the bright blue sky scattered with small pale puffy clouds.
"What do you say Riku? Are we going to finish out baby or what?" Relena asked him. He looked up from his meal, growled slightly and began to feast once more.
"After you finish of course." Relena said rolling her eyes. 'Stubborn little guy.' She smiled a genuine smile, before getting up of the green grass and brushing off the dirt.
After Riku had finished, they headed inside to grab a pair of keys. She was about to jump onto Heero's motorbike when the garage door opened, and everyone drove in. Placing the keys in her pocket she headed over to the nearest car.
"Weren't to lonely were you?" Sally asked Noin from the passenger side of her and Milliardo's car. Heero was sitting quietly in the back.
"How could I be? I have Riku remember. You just caught me, I was about to go and head of to JT's, get a few bits and come back." Relena said, backing away so they could jump out of the car.
"Afraid you can't." Milliardo said seriously.
"What do you mean I can't? I'll do what I damn well please." Relena said aggressively at her brother.
"I can see that. But it's not safe out there." Milliardo said forcefully. "Especially with this showing." He said pointing to Relena's exposed tattoo on her hip.
"Dangerous?" Relena laughed a mocking laugh at Milliardo's comment. "Jeez, I can handle myself." She was getting out Heero's keys from her pocket and was heading over to his bike when he gabbed Heero grabbed her wrist and gently walked up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist. Leaning in he whispered into her ear.
"I know you can handle yourself. But it is way to dangerous out there. War has been wagged between us and a rival gang, the Tigers." His voice brought shivers down Relena's spine, but she didn't show any signs of it. Clenching her fists she released a sigh and gave Heero back his motorbike keys.
"Fine." She said angrily, before quickly exiting the garage, followed by Riku who was right on her heels.
******************************************
Relena had disappeared after that. Nobody could find her anywhere. They weren't too worried though. They knew, no matter how brash she had become, she wouldn't leave the complex. She knew the affects of war. There were no prisoners in this game. If you were caught, you died.
At the meeting they decided to lay it low. The clubs were shut down and the gangs were ordered to stay inside the mansions at all time. Food and the necessary items would be delivered to them as they needed it. And so it began. The Panthers and the Wolf gang stayed in hiding at their mansions. Quatre was given strict orders to stay inside at all times. If he was to die, there would not only be a lost member for the Panthers, but the World and Colonies would have lost yet another Vice Foreign Minister. And the position these days was getting harder and harder to fill with worthy candidates who accepted the role and believed in peace.
******************************************
It was close to 9 o'clock that night when Relena finally emerged from her hiding spot. She walked into the kitchen to be greeted by a collection of relieved smiles and annoyed looks.
"What?" Relena asked awkwardly. They were all staring at her.
"Where have you been?" Noin asked, sounding much like a mother would. "Jesus Relena, there is war being waged on us and you just disappear!"
"I was outside." She retaliated. She hated being treated like a child.
"You could have been hurt Relena." Duo said, taking up from where Noin had left off.
"For Fuck Sakes!" Relena screamed. "I'm not a child okay! I am not Helpless! Just Leave Me FUCKING ALONE!" She turned and stormed up to her room with the plate of meat she had taken out of the fridge. Riku, having smelt his dinner chased her up there.
"I can't believe them! After all this time and they still think I'm some weak girl!" Relena fumed angrily. "I can take care of my fucking self thank you very much!" After a little while, Relena had calmed down a bit. "I really need to get out of here." She said to Riku.
"And go where exactly?" Trowa asked from her doorway.
"I dunno. Out." She said sourly. 'Busted.' She thought. She was hoping to make a quiet get away.
"If you were thinking of leaving. You wouldn't have made it." Trowa said amused at her. "The whole place is locked down." Smiling he walked over to the enraged girl.
"Fucking bastards." Relena said in a low venomous voice.
"I don't blame them." Trowa said quietly, sitting next to her on her bed. "They would kill you on sight. Then who would Riku have?" The thought of her dying and Riku being alone was enough to convince Relena that she had to stay put. For him.
