Fallen

Chapter 7: Is it love or pity

Heero was standing outside the medics' wing with Chibi-Usa next to him waiting for the report of Rei's condition. "It's been 4 hours." Chibi- Usa said obviously pissed off. "How long has she been loyal to your family?" Heero asked. "Ever since she was corinated as Princess of Mars in her first life. Over thousands of years ago." Chibi-Usa said. "So she's been tied down to her destiny all her life?" Heero asked. "Yes, she has always been miserable. But it was worse when the others settled down and had their families." Chibi-Usa said. "Why?" Heero asked. "Did she tell you that she was orphaned when she was really, really young? Because the planet that her grandmother was from didn't approve of her parents marriage? That is how the plot of family betrayal happened. Her parents were assassinated and she was supposed to have been but out of a miracle she escaped her supposed fate and became a guardian for her home world and to the Moon Kingdom." Chibi-Usa said. Heero looked at the door wide eyed. He never knew that something so horrible could happen to a woman of such honor and morals, as if she was properly brought up with a great set of parents. "Rei- chan, she has been alone for so long. She is feared so much because of her power. Please Heero-san don't fear her power. I want to see her happy." Chibi-Usa said. Right then before Heero could ask what the child meant a doctor came out covered in sweat. "She's stable." The doctor said. "Can we see her?" Chibi-Usa said. "She's been giving us a lot of hell when she woke up." The doctor said.

Chibi-Usa crawled under the doctors' legs and ran into the room. "REI- CHAN!!!" They could hear the worried Chibi-Usa cry. Chibi-Usa saw Rei with a huge bandage wrapped around her chest and then hugged the young woman in a bear hug with tears falling down her face. "Shhh...hush Chibi-Usa. I'm ok so stop your tears." Rei said calmly while running her hand through her princess' hair. Chibi-Usa looked at Rei sadly. 'She would such an awesome mother if only she had a chance.' Chibi-Usa thought. Rei looked at Chibi- Usa with a small smile that was only for her during Crystal Tokyo. "Rei- Auntie do you know if my mother will awaken on her own?" Chibi-Usa asked. "I wouldn't have a doubt she gets herself into trouble and ends up awakening herself." Rei said. Heero came into the room and saw Rei smile the small smile. "Rei-Auntie I miss mommy I don't want to watch her as someone else." Chibi-Usa said. "Don't worry hime we'll get your mother to awaken when the time is right demo I think you should get some sleep you never know when Endymion will come again." Rei said taking her shirt and putting it on but not buttoning it. "I'm scared Rei. I'm really scared." Chibi-Usa said. "There's nothing to be scared of hime. I'll protect you and your mother it's been my sworn duty." Rei said. "Demo it's just like the Galaxy Wars. We lost all our army and almost lost everyone along with it." Chibi-Usa said. "The Galaxy Wars are mere child's play. Your father is one of the most powerful men in the Cosmos, the leader of the Galaxy Controllers was only a mere mortal who thought that he could take over the world by seducing goddesses from other planets." Rei said.

"You know Rei. I know you only are here to fulfill your purpose but why not try to live a happy life on Earth?" Chibi-Usa asked. "Even if I tried I could never do such a thing. I was raised around blood, war, and revolution it's in my nature to fight and fight until this human flesh is dead. Even then when I am dead I am destined to fight on." Rei said. "Is that all your purpose is?" Chibi-Usa asked. "Yes, the life of a true sailor senshi..is nothing but battles and wars till the death. And into the afterlife." Rei said. "Rei-chan when I become queen. You'll never have to fight again. You can be free. I promise." Chibi-Usa said. "Chibi-Usa.Small Lady Serenity...if that were only possible demo I know this is meant to be. Even though I hate fate so much I know I am meant to fight and die a warrior. Don't waste your breath on me." Rei said. "Demo, you are the most loyal besides Saturn and Jupiter you deserve happiness too." Chibi-Usa said. "Remember what I told you long ago. I will never find happiness because my power brings fear into people." Rei said. "It doesn't effect one person!" Chibi-Usa said. "Like who?" Rei asked. "The Prince of Saturn. He was never afraid of your power. Your grandfather told me so. He was never afraid of you because you both were the same." Chibi-Usa said. "Whatever. Everyone except for you, me, Michiru-san, Yaten, Seiya, Taiki, your mother, and your uncle are dead." Rei said. "The Starlights are alive?" Chibi-Usa asked. "Hai, I sensed their power days ago." Rei said. "Then why haven't you made your presence noticed to them?" Chibi-Usa asked. "Because they will think that Endymion brought me back for the soul purpose to kill you and Usagi." Rei said.

Heero made his presence noticed and Chibi-Usa dragged Rei to Heero. "Thank you for brining me here to get treatment." Rei said. "No problem." Heero said. Chibi-Usa cleared her throat towards Heero and quirked an eyebrow at Chibi-Usa's display of 'say something other than that!'. Rei took Chibi-Usa's hand and walked past him after resting her hand across her chest to show gratitude. Quatre saw Chibi-Usa when he was walking down the hall. Chibi-Usa saw her mother's brother and then after Rei dropped her hand smiled widely and rammed into him in a hug. "UNCLE UNCLE UNCLE!!!" Chibi-Usa piped. Rei smiled to see her so happy and turned to walk to her room when she accidentally ramming into Heero. "Can I have a word with you?" Heero asked. Rei nodded her head confused of what he would want to talk about. They went to a different room which seemed to be Heero's quarters and by the luxuries Relena took a liking to the monotone man of 18/19. "Take a seat." Heero said moving a chair out. "Thank you. So what do you want to talk about?" Rei asked sitting down. "Seems that Chibi-Usa knows more about you than you think." Heero said. "What do you mean by that?" Rei asked. "Your grandmother didn't approve of your parents marriage so she sent assassins to kill them and you but you survived and because a sailor senshi for Mars." Heero said. "Damn that child is getting smarter more and more I must have missed so much." Rei said. "So it's true." Heero said. "Yes, it is." Rei said with a sigh. An emotion took over Heero that made him rest a hand on Rei's hand. Rei looked up at Heero to see a dead serious gaze in his eyes, which were concentrated on her which made her start to blush slightly.

"I lost my parents in a bomb raid. I just act like I never knew them so I don't remember how they died. Protecting me and my sister." Heero said. "You had a sister?" Rei asked. "Yes, she was 3 years younger than me." Heero said. "I never was able to have any siblings." Rei said. "She died after the raid. They found her and brought her to the shelter. She was severely injured they did absolutely nothing they let her die." Heero said. "That's awful. I know how it's like to loose someone close." Rei said. "Who did you loose that was close to you?" Heero asked. "My best friends and my betrowl in my first life." Rei said. "How is it that us people who were raised to fight all their lives are the ones who suffer the most?" Heero questioned. "I have no clue." Rei said honestly. Heero tightened his grip on her hand. Rei's heart started to pound in her chest from the heat she felt from his grip on her hand. She was somehow attracted to this heat. It was so familiar to her. 'Why does this feel so familiar?' She thought. Herro bent down and yet again stole a kiss from her. Rei was stiff as a board as that familiar warmth tingled on her lips and throughout her body making her tremble. Heero felt her trembling and brought her into a warm hug as he kissed her. Confusion still flooded through Rei's head from the familiarity of his touch. Chibi-Usa and Quatre were watching this on one of Chibi-Usa's energy mirrors. "See I told you Uncle Quatre." Chibi-Usa said. "I still don't believe it." Quatre said. "I know demo I sensed these vibes when I saw him and now my suspicions have been cleared he is who he is." Chibi-Usa said.

Rei felt herself drown into her memories of the person Heero so reminded her of. She slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and responded to the kiss. Chibi-Usa now was hopping up and down to see Rei respond to Heero's kiss. "I am so happy now!" Chibi-Usa said. Quatre couldn't believe his eyes. Heero Yuy the invincible perfect soldier was surrendering to emotions. 'To finally hold you in my arms again like this is something I never want to forget.' Was the thought that ran through Heero's mind. A wall of energy started to form around the two as if their psyche waves were merging. 'This sensation is so familiar. It feels so..right.' Rei thought no longer in a whirlwind of confusion. Heero and Rei broke apart from each other but remained in each other's arms. "The power of love isn't here and then gone it stays forever and time plus rebirths also can't get in the way of it." Chibi-Usa said with a smile on her face but then a frown took the cheerful smile away. "Helios." She whispered. Right then Relena was now heading towards Heero's quarters to try and convince him to go to the ice cream shop but Chibi-Usa saw this and stopped her from going into Heero's room and disturb that precious moment. "Sis. I want to know. If I get better can I go back to Usagi's?" She asked. "Yeah. You can but right now I need to take care of some important business." Relena said pushing her way past Chibi-Usa. Heero and Rei were now out of his room and heading to the security room to monitor the palace together instead of taking shifts. Relena spotted Heero and glompped onto him. "Heero-kun do you need a break we can go to the ice cream parlor down the street. Please?" Relena begged. Heero grumbled and nodded a yes. Rei felt sorry for him but laughed under her breath.

Rei was in the monitoring room all alone sitting in her chair. Thoughts of her past ran through her mind. 'I know I don't have all my memories back but I do remember him. He feels like Heero so much. The same sensation I feel when I was around him. It hurts so much to be reminded.' Rei thought. Right then a bleep came from the monitor system. Rei looked at the area and saw intruders trying to cut through the fencing in the back. She grabbed the gun Heero lended her and headed towards the area after telling the others about the intruders. "The lord said we'd find her here and to take her away or kill her." An intruder said. Rei spotted them and stayed in the shadows. She was always one with the dark and loved it for it made her feel like she was back home. Little did she know the intruders had a few hostages knocked out and acting like they were knocked out. "This is a guarantee that she'll give up to us and all that shit for these people she considers friends." Another intruder said. Rei slowly cocked the gun and then came out of the shadows. "THERE SHE IS!!" An intruder yelled. Rei quickly shot the loud mouth intruder and then hid in the shadows yet again. Her wings of black coming to her black to make her look like a dark angel from hell. 'This'll scare them to hell.' She thought knowing these people where just human pawns of Endymion's. 5 minutes before the intruders came onto the palace grounds Heero and Relena were starting to walk down the ally when they were attacked and knocked out. Well Relena anyway but not Heero. "We have the bait so we can convince the Martian queen to surrender and become the lord's wife." An intruder said. "He said this might not convince her so killing them might, because I sense her power has already mixed with this guys'." Another said. 'They want Rei to go to their side? What do they mean by 'her power has already mixed with me'?' Heero thought.
