Chapter 13: Revenge!
"It's been three days. She hasn't said a word, or moved even." Noin said sadly, sitting on the couch and staring at the ceiling in the lounge area.
"If she doesn't get some sleep and eat soon, she could die." Sally said seriously sitting on armrest of the couch, near Wufei.
"She won't let anyone in. Even Riku is keeping his distance." Trowa said. They were all seated in the lounge after another failed attempt at getting Relena to move, or even just say something.
It had been Heero, who had dragged Relena out of the destroyed club after Dom had died. He remembered vividly the look of pure horror on her face when he had closed his eyes. Relena had screamed his name before grabbing hold of him desperately, as if trying to stop his life from escaping her clutches. Heero had grabbed her gently and lifted her up into his arms. She didn't move or fight against him, just held onto Dom's necklace that she had been holding when Heero lifted her off her dead friends body. He never let her go, gently carrying her to the truck and putting her in the passenger seat before he drove them home. Carrying her inside the house, he brought her to her room and sat her down on her bed.
"Relena?" He asked questioning. Her silence was frightening. Never since they had met up once more had she been this silent and still, it was unnerving to see her pale face and blood stained hands shake violently.
She never responded to his questions. She didn't even blink when he kissed her on the forehead. She just sat in pure shock. He had left her, figuring that she would eventually begin to grieve uncontrollably and eventually cry herself to sleep. But, the tears never came. They sat edgily, but never fell.
"We need her to realise she's going to kill herself if she doesn't stop this nonsense." Hilde said angrily. "It's sad that Dom's dead yeah, but she needs to get over it!" They all looked at her shocked. Everyone just felt pity for the poor girl. Hilde was right though. Three days was long enough. They had work to do, and they needed her to drive. That was why she was in the gang, to drive. Heero stood from his seat on the floor, leaning on the wall, in the middle of the walkway to the lounge area. Riku was whining again.
"Hey." Heero said, patting the white tigers head. Riku continued to pine outside Relena's door. "It's gone on long enough!" Everyone had followed Heero up the stairs, and saw as he barged through the door. They all walked in. Riku ran past the rest of the group straight towards Relena. She as still sitting there. Staring at her blood covered hands and the necklace that had once adorned Dom's neck. They were all silent as Riku barged his head past Relena's hands and onto her lap, looking up at her with sad eyes. Relena blinked furiously as her eyes refocused onto the intruder.
"Riku." Relena whispered, barely audible. Her voice was scratchy and harsh from not being used for three days. A single tear fell down Relena's cheek as she fell onto her knees on the floor. Her arms were stiff from not being used, as she struggled to bring them around the tiger's neck and embrace him in the loving fashion she had always bestowed upon him.
"Relena. Thank Christ." Noin sighed happily at the sight of the girl, finally moving and speaking once again. Heero dragged her into her bathroom and cleaned her up, before carrying her downstairs and feeding her soup. She still didn't speak, just ate quietly, patting Riku's head with her free hand.
******************************************
It was dark, raining outside.
"I don't remember there being rain." A voice whispered on the breeze. Her heart stopped at the site of the club a few hundred metres away. But her feet kept pounding the pavement as she ran faster, and faster. She was outside the club, but she didn't stop. She sprinted into the building, through the crowds on the dance floor and towards the second floor steps. She was running so fast it felt like she was just flying. Once at the top of the stairs, she saw him. Dom. He was seated on his favourite couch in the corner. Running she jumped into the mans embrace and sobbed quietly. He drew her out of the hug and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Taking her hand, he led her down to the dance floor and danced with her to a slow song. A violent shudder shook the ground they were standing on. And the earth cracked between them. Dom being pulled out of Relena's arms as she screamed his name.
"Relena! Wake up!" Heero's urgent voice broke through the girl's nightmare. She bolted upright in the bed. Heero had run into Relena's room, hearing her hellish screams from her dream.
"I couldn't save him." Relena choked out, before her whole body convulsed in sobs.
"Ssh. It's okay Relena." Heero said, holding a sobbing Relena in his arms. Eventually her weeping subsided.
'I will revenge you Dom.' Relena though, before she fell into a dreamless sleep in Heero's arms.
******************************************
Morning brought with it a gloomy day. Dark storm clouds covered the sky, and the resounding thunder could be heard and felt in the shudder of the house. Relena had requested that everyone meet in the lounge area, and everyone did as she begged. They weren't going anywhere too soon. Not after the last attack.
"We get them back." Relena said, fire burning lividly in her eyes.
"How?" Wufei asked. They all wanted revenge, but none had even dared mention it, for sake of their head.
"I'll get in touch with our little friend." Relena said looking at Heero. He knew she meant the Tiger from the other day. "We get him to lure everyone into one club. Especially their leader. Then blow it. Simple and effective." She said. Although her voice was calm, her veins flowed with anger, vengeance, and pure hatred.
"How do we get in there to set the place alight?" Dorothy asked. She always loved doing undercover work. The adrenaline rush was like a drug; she loved it, and wanted to smoke more.
"A performance. This guy already believes I want in. So I'm going to persuade him to let me entertain for the evening, you know, get on the good side with the boss."
"No Way!" Heero said forcefully, bringing everyone's attention to him. "I'm not going to let you do it. I saw that guy the other day, the way he looked at you. I swore to look after you, and I'm bloody well going to do it!"
"I can take care of myself Heero. I was handling it the other day."
"No you were being man handled by leather pants!" Heero snapped impatiently.
"I don't care what you think, I'm doing it anyway. That's final." Relena said it with such serious calm that Heero didn't even bother to fight back.
'She'll go ahead with it, even if I tie her to a bloody rocket and send her to the moon.' Sighing he gave in. "Fine."
They planned their attack and verified it with Pop. The remaining Wolves and Panthers were ordered to stay in, for their victory would be soon at hand.
******************************************
"Need any help?" Came Heero's voice came from the back door.
"Can you pass me that wide brim nozzle over there?" Relena asked casually. Heero walked over to the collection of spray painting nozzles on the grass in the back yard. Picking up the wide brim, he walked over to Relena. Standing behind her, he reached his arms around her small waist and twisted it onto the end of the hose for her. His face was bent towards her neck as his breath swarmed over Relena's neck in small caressing waves.
"Thanks." She said, steadying her voice.
"What colour is it going to be?" Heero asked, wrapping his arms around Relena's waist and holding her softly against his body.
"Pink." Relena said giggling slightly.
"Pink?" Heero asked confused. " I thought you were over that kiddie look." He asked her teasingly.
"I'm still a child at heart. Though, sometimes I don't show it." She whispered, with her head tilted back on Heero's shoulder so he could hear her. Straitening herself and detaching herself from Heero up she moved closer to the car, and began to spray paint the car a bright pink colour.
The two spent hours giving the car a few coats of paint and then finishing it off by delicately spray painting a girls face on either side of the car towards the back wheels. She was also pink, with long flowing hair that was up in a ponytail. She had an attitude to rival Relena's and was wearing a shirt covered in feathers. After that had dried, the two again, delicately painted on some white patterned lines over the cars bonnet, and before the girl figurehead on the sides of the car.
"Okay, now for the accessories." Relena said happily, her dream car was almost complete. They covered the seats with fluffy pale pink car covers and Relena uploaded her computer character onto her car's hard drive.
******************************************
"Ain't she grand?" Relena asked, examining their handy work.
"It's pink." Heero said, still disgusted at the choice of colour. "I hope it's fast so people don't see me in it."
"You know you love it." Relena said teasing him.
"No. I love you." Heero said seriously, closing the gap between them. Relena was hesitant for a moment. Her feelings for Dom were affecting her judgement, but she new, that the love for him was just as a brother.
"I love you too." She said quietly, looking at him softly. He kissed her then, slowly and passionately, one hand on her lower back, while the other held sat gently on her cheek, his thumb gently caressing it. Relena hand found their way to the back of Heero's neck and his hair, gently running her fingertips through the soft, unruly brown mess.
"I have to go get ready." Relena said parting from Heero. She held his hand as they walked inside together and up into her room. Entering the bathroom, Relena walked over to the shower and turned the taps on. Warm water sprayed out into the shower as Relena undressed and jumped in.
'I may never see her again. I can't let her go without her really knowing.' Heero thought to himself seriously, laying on Relena's bed. He entered the bathroom quietly and stripped down, before entering into the shower with Relena.
She had been standing there, enjoying the warm water running down her body when Heero had stepped in behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I mean it when I say 'I love you'." He said whispering in her ear.
"I do too." Relena said leaning up against the strong body behind her.
"That's why I don't want you to go tonight. I may never see you again." Sadness was etched on his voice as he began to kiss her soothingly on her neck. His hands moved from around her waist, both travelling towards Relena's breasts.
"Then let's not forget tonight. Shall we." Relena said seductively turning to face Heero and moving in for a kiss.
******************************************
It was an hour later when Relena emerged downstairs to meet with the rest of the group. She had on a long black leather coat and had a pair of black sunglasses with her. Under the coat, she was wearing a black halter neck top; a black pleated mini skirt and black 'fuck me' boots. Her makeup was simple, but enticing. She had on the usual foundation, blush and eyeliner; her lips were extenuated with a bright red lipstick.
"We ready?" She asked seriously.
"As ready as we'll ever be." Milliardo said seriously. Studying his sister before she and Riku jumped into her new car. They all followed suit, each purring their cars into life.
"I'm coming to get you." Relena said venomously in a quiet voice. They all heard her little comment, even though they were sure it was intended for whom they were 'meeting' tonight.
The plan was a simple one. They waited outside the club until Relena and Heero's mystery man from the other day emerged, then Relena would convince him that their whole group were interested in joining the Tigers. Riku would be there to help convince, as he had the few days before. Once inside the group would interact casually and whilst doing so, plant bombs all over the premises. Relena would be the entertainer for the Evening, insuring that any alerted attention, would be focused on her and Riku and their little act. Then on cue, when Relena finished her performance, the group would leave, before blowing the place. Simple. But not flawless.
AN: The car that is described to be driven by Relena is the same as Suki's from 2 Fast 2 Furious. Just so you get a better visual. Okay. Bye bye.
