KITTY LOVE
PART 6
Heero walked into the broken castle, a tiny bundle lieing in his arms, wrapped in his jacket.
"Heero!" Quatre exclaimed. "My God, Heero! We heard of the damage you did to the base! Did-did you get..."
"I did." He answered cooly.
"Well? Wh-where is she?"
"Right here." he said pulling part of the jacket away from the cat's face.
"Y-You don't mean?"
Heero looked to the floor and nodded slowly, then went over to the stairs. "I'm taking her back to the house we were originally staying at. That way she'll have some surroundings that will be most familiar to her. You can come to visit, but only when I say it's okay, and ONLY if it is just you and Trowa. I don't want anyone else near her at the moment. She's been through enough and we don't need Duo saying some crude remark that would screw everything up."
"But what about Wufei, or Noin and Zechs, or the sceintists, or Sally?"
"I don't want to even think about Wufei. And the others are up to Relena, but only if I think it will be good for her."
"So what you are saying is that you are mainly closing her off from the world? Am I right?"
"You could call it that. But you have to remember... It is the world that did this to her, and to me." With that he walked upstairs, hearing Quatre sigh and turn around to walk away as well.
/So what if I'm closing her off from the world. She'll understand, in time./
Heero walked into his room and set Relena down on the bed gently. Then he quickly went down to the kitchen to get a bowl and some water before heading back upstairs to the lenin closet to get a few washcloths along with a few towels. He walked back into his room and closed the door behind him, locking it.
Sitting down on the bed, he carefully unwrapping the jacket from Relena. Placing her on the towels and blankets, he dipped a washcloth into the cool water, dabbing it delicately on her forehead. Then he took the towel and dried off her fur, he only wanted to make sure she was comfortable, not wet. When he set the cloth down, a soft mew escaped from Relena as she started to wake up. She winced in pain as her muscles contracted involuntarily.
"Hey... Hey, you're alright... You're okay, you going to be okay." Heero whispered subtly, stroking Relena's head.
She opened her eyes, then immediately shut them, crying out in pain at the light from Heero's night stand. Only that light was on, but it was still rather bright.
Heero quickly threw a towel over the shade, casting a shadow over the entire room and lessening the intensity of the glare. He knew exactly what she was going through.
Relena opened her eyes again, adjusting to her surroundings. She looked around weakly, her gaze finally landing on Heero. His features were more defined, along with his perfection. When she looked around again she realized exactly how clearly the other objects in the room could be seen, even in the dim light. As her eyes caught Heero's again she moaned, realizing what she was now.
"Not all that great of an experience, is it?" Heero whispered, though to Relena, it was as if he was talking regularly. "It may take you a while to get used to the keeness of your senses. Everything will be like you multiplied your original abilities by one hundred percent."
No shit, Relena wanted to say, though it only came out as a small meow. She flinched at her own voice, hating it the moment it came out. She didn't want this! She wanted to be able to talk freely, in ENGLISH, not Cattish or Catinese, ENGLISH!
"Okay, listen... I'm taking you back home. That way we could live in some privacy and you wouldn't be bothered until this whole thing blows over. Which it will. The fluid they put in you is still temporary, I read that on the charts that were next to where you were being held. They wanted to keep you in captivity so they could continue testing. But now, I won't let anyone near you unless I say so."
Relena looked up at Heero in slight shock.
"You heard me."
A knock came from the door and Heero walked over. "Who is it?" he asked protectively.
"It's me..." Quatre said. "Can I come in."
"Quatre..." Heero practically growled. "You know what I told you."
"I know, but please? I won't stay long."
Heero clenched his fist, "...Alright, but not very long,"
Quatre opened the door and peered in, his eyes sympathetic as he looked at Relena, then worried and scared as he glanced at Heero.
Relena tried to sit up, but she soon found herself lying back down with Heero at her side and Quatre standing a few inches from him.
"You shouldn't move, Miss Relena," Quatre whispered. He could only guess at what it must be like to be in the body of a cat. "From what Heero has told us, it is pretty painful,"
As Relena growled Quatre cracked a smile.
"What did you want?" Heero asked, giving Quatre an intense stare.
"I just wanted to say 'Hi' and 'Good-bye' and to tell you that I have told Trowa what is going on. Duo and Wufei don't know yet, and Trowa and I agree that it should stay that way for a while. He wanted me to tell you that we will be watching the house from a distance so that we wouldn't have any more 'accidents'. Also we will be searching for any more of the bases that the remnants of Mariemaia's soldiers would be hiding in, that way we could help prevent any accidents further. All you need to do is try to live a normal, peaceful life."
Heero's eyes softened a little. Quatre always was there for them; always caring with a heart the size of the world.
Bending down, Quatre touched Relena's paw. "Good-bye Relena, I hope you get back to your old self soon. It won't be the same without you around."
Relena looked down at her paw, then up at Quatre. She nodded her head once and Quatre smiled before he got up and left the room.
Once the door was closed, Heero turned to Relena. "I know you're probably not up to traveling, but we are going to have to go right now if the others are going to continue not to know. Now I can, in some way, protect you in the ways I couldn't before..."
Relena looked at Heero. Right now the urge to just stand up and kiss him was driving her insane, and the headache wasn't helping much either. But she shook the dreams from her head as she realized how awkward it would be for a cat to be kissing a human. And she certainly didn't want to frighten Heero away, even though he told her he would stay.
Heero walked into the broken castle, a tiny bundle lieing in his arms, wrapped in his jacket.
"Heero!" Quatre exclaimed. "My God, Heero! We heard of the damage you did to the base! Did-did you get..."
