A/N: Whew, looking back, this story is actually pretty crappy... Dang...

chap. 5 ~ forgiving and forgetting
Heero banged at his own mental prison, hoping to crack through the bars, penetrate the wall seperating himself from the darker Heero about to do something unforgivable.
Relena sat behind her desk, behind stacks and stacks of papers, folders, and files. You could barely see the top of her petite head, bobbing up and down after signing one and then another file, request, or contract. She heard a creak as the door to her office opened and looked up over the piles of papers before her. She let out her breath as she saw who it was, "Heero....? This isn't right, you shouldn't be here, I told you we're done..."
Heero calmly and slowly walked over to Relena's desk, and shoved all the papers off of it, white sheets flying everywhere and scattering. Heero pulled his two hands into tight fists, his knuckles white, he banged them on Relena's desk, causing the flimsy desk to crack, cleanly cut into two. Relena gasped as she stood up, clearly scared stiff. "Heero..."
"Sorry."
"Wha-what...?"
"Sorry, that's all you said. After all we've been through, all you can say is sorry? Sorry for what Relena? Sorry for what, huh?!" Heero cut through every word like a knife, making sure his words came out exactly right and were straight to the point.
"I..."
"Years ago I threatened to kill you, and now, I think I'll fulfill that promise." Heero, the Perfect Soldier, the infamous Gundam Pilot pulled a gun out from its holster and slowly cocked it as he pointed it straight at Relena, and fired.
NO! Heero put all his strength into one push and was able to slowly break through his prison. Sadness had vanished, and forgiveness erupted. I'm sorry too Relena, I'm sorry for what we've been through, I'm sorry for not being there, I'm sorry for running off, I'm sorry for not sharing everything with you. Heero boiled over, thoughts and phrases flooding his mind, and his darker side, not able to feed off of his anger, weakened, allowing Heero to penetrate the cage holding him.
Relena moaned in pain as the bullet in her abdomen flamed through her body, consuming her in agony as saw Heero's prussian blue eyes shrink as he roared in pain, clutched his head, and on his hands and knees, some battle going on inside of him that no one could help him with. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
The motorcycles neared the end of the street, but kept going as they hopped onto the sidewalk and crashed through the glass doors, shards falling and shattering and various people jumping out of the way for their lives.
"HELL YEAH!!!" Duo cried as they raced up the carpeted stairs, obviously enjoying the joyride this crazy mission had taken him on. They slowed down as they neared the Vice Foreign Minister's office. Removing their helmets, they walked through the open doorway to find Heero on his knees, yelling like crazy and face screwed up in obvious pain.
"Heero? Relena? What the hell happened?!" Wufei demanded as he saw Relena on the ground as well.
"Heero...he got mad... he shot me...now there's some...battle going on inside his head..." Relena managed, then fell limp on the floor, unconscious.
"Quatre, get Peacecraft to a hospital or something, and fast," Duo suggested, looking at Relena and deciding she wouldn't manage long without medical attention. Quatre quickly nodded as he gently picked Relena up and got her on his motorcycle, roaring back down the flights of stairs.
"What should we do?" Trowa inquired looking at the agonized Heero.
"There's nothing we can do..." Wufei said slowly, "We can only hope that Heero can pull through and win just one more battle." ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mist swirled, rose, and evaporated as Heero slowly stepped out of his cage, now in pieces to face the darker, mirror image of himself.
"And what are you going to do, Heero? Hate me? Go ahead, and maybe we'll see what's going to happen next." Shadows hung under the Darker Heero's eyes as he smirked. His eyes weren't the beautiful prussian blue, but a dark, navy blue, non-sparkling and seemingly dead and glazed over.
"No."
"No? After all I've done? After I've shot your so-called friends? And now, after I've just shot, maybe killed your beloved Relena? Face it, life's only gotten better after your lover Relena sent you that orb. It's unleashed me, and your life's going to seem complete after I've finished everyone on your list."
"No, I'm not going to hate you. Yes, as you said, I am you, and yes, you are me. I can't hate myself, can't hate anybody, can't hate anything that's been in the past, because it's all done, can't hate myself because I would only live in misery, each day a blank, hateful, spiteful, meaningless nothing. Can't hate anything because that accomplishes nothing. I've learned to forgive...and forget. Live life, and just push aside black thoughts, push aside corrupted pasts, and just...live."
The Darker Heero snorted and muttered, "Bullshit."
"It may be bullshit to you, but to me, it's a life-learned lesson, and you've taught me that."
Dark Heero scowled and pulled out a gun from its place, pulling the trigger.
The bullet whizzed into Heero's heart, but healed over, leaving Heero uninjured and calm.
"You can't kill me. You can't take over me. Why, you ask? Because I am you, and you are me."
As Heero said these words, he glowed gold, a clear, crisp gold, that shimmered and shone, while the Darker Heero glowed black, that cast shadows and shivered. The two clashing colors spiraled together, whirling endlessly and molding together to form the true Heero Yuy.
Heero opened his eyes to see Trowa, Duo, and Wufei hovering over him, six guns pointed at him, two per person, ready to fire if he put up a fight.
Heero glanced up, and said, "I'm going to kill you."
Duo lowered both his guns and said cheerfully, "It's Heero alright." ~~~~~~~~~~~~ A/N: Wow, now that I look at this chapter, it's pretty corny... Dang...corny wasn't what I was aiming for. Well, I'll just do a follow up chapter and that'll be it for this fic! Oh, yeah, and review please.
