Chapter Three, Lost Loves:
Relena gripped Heero tightly, hoping he would wake up to help her, but she mustered all of her courage and pulled him with her away from the haunting form of a young woman. Relena made it very clear in her actions that if the luminous figure wanted Heero, she would have to get through Relena first.
The young woman looked at Relena as she bent down and touched Heero's cheek lightly, making him flinch slightly at the touch. Relena tightened her grip on him and slowly moved away from the ghost and prayed it was a hallucination.
The woman glared at Relena with her deep eyes, showing so much emotion and she moved her mouth, sorrowfully. Pleading for something or someone. Relena kept edging away, making the young woman's lovely face contort in anger.
She lifted her hand and touched Relena's forehead lightly, but forcefully. Relena gasped and fell forward into the girl as she disappeared.
Relena's eyes fluttered open when she realized she had her head resting on Heero's chest. Her eyes seemed a darker blue with tints of green in them as her face uplifted her features into a smile. She used her hand and lightly touched his cheek like she did before, feeling her hand not go through him and the warmth of his body. She leaned in for a kiss, a simple but sweet one...
Heero's eyes flashed open, feeling hot breath on his face when he saw Relena's face looming over his, eyes closed like she was going to kiss him. He pulled away, not knowing what he missed as he saw a scowl and a longing look cross over her features.
Heero stared at the girl who moved closer to him and noticed she was wearing an Elizabethan dress like the haunting figure he saw before. "You're not Relena." He said, anger growing in his voice. 'What the hell is going on?!' His head screamed, not grasping what was going on. He saw the other gundam pilot's come closer to him, also.
The girl's head turned towards their direction, saying something inaudible to them and they nodded in understanding.
Before Heero knew it, he was pinned against the wall, struggling to fend off the steel grip they had on him as Relena who he figured was possessed since it was a ghost in her body came closer and closer to him.
"Relena! Snap out of it!" He shouted, hoping that she would wake up from the trance and break the bond that the ghost and her now shared.
"Hush, love. We can finally be together." She said, smiling at him making his stomach do flip-flops deep down inside he knew there was something more than that. "Together forever." She whispered, landing a light kiss on his lips.
He stared at her, something seemed so familiar about her...not the fact that a ghost with unrest in its heart was possessing Relena, but the sound of the woman's voice and how the person hiding in Relena's body to have physical feelings and motion was.
She looked him over and her words echoed in his mind. 'Together...forever...' His eyes opened wider than they were before. 'She was going to—' He was broken off as darkness stole his world.
The young woman who's name was Sonya, looked at Heero and smiled lovingly at his limp form as she bent down to pick him up, but noticed that she felt a pulsation through her body. Everything hurt and flashed as she spilt with Relena who was standing over Heero, still reaching to pick him up.
The girl's eyes were wide with shock. 'No!' Her mouth shouted, forming the words as the gusting wind picked up, as if in her fury.
"What- what the- what happened?" Relena shouted to her over the flying and swirling wind, gripping Heero. She saw the tall forms of the Gundam pilot's over her as she touched them and they spilt with the ghost too, fleeing into the shadows over the fury of Sonya.
Heero's form was shaking from this. She pointed her finger towards him and the wind rushed at him from behind as if in an attempt to blow him to Sonya. 'We shall never be apart. Never again, love.' The gundam pilot's heard the wind shout angrily as the house even groaned in agreement.
Relena and the other's held Heero down as the wind tried to drag him away from them. Duo's cross was blow out from under his shirt and she screamed, looking at the silver pendant wide-eyed. The house shuddered and the wind died as everything went quiet again, the lady's form and the other people at unrest gone nowhere to be seen.
"Heero!" Relena shouted, trying to shake him awake, his form breathing heavily.
"What was that all about?" Wufei asked, looking around to find what had stopped all the disturbances. His fell on Duo's silver cross which Sister Helen had long before given him, saying it would be a great use for him. "Your cross!"
"Hm...? What about it?" Duo questioned, still to shaken up to get his mind flowing. He bent down to look at Heero.
"It stopped the ghost's." Quatre explained simply. "I guess it protected us." He said simply.
Trowa looked around the room ominously, as if expecting the haunts to start up again. "Did you see what that girl shouted at us?" He questioned. "She said 'We shall never be apart. Never again, love'." Trowa finished off.
"Heero has a love? And she's dead?" Duo said, looking shocked.
"It's not possible. Did you see her clothes? They must have dated back to the 1500's. That's well over three centuries!" Quatre said. He bent down to and slapped Heero across the face and his eyes snapped open. He looked quite shaken and moved away from the group, using his arms behind him to help drag himself slightly away from them.
"Heero!" Relena shouted, "What happened?!" She questioned.
Heero looked at her but figured that she wasn't possessed anymore. "That's what I would like to know." He said, crossing his arms as he leaned on the wall for support.
"What happened when we were not awake?" Trowa asked, making the question more easily answered. Hopefully that is. This whole situation was confusing.
"You guys held me down." He explained, motioning to the Gundam pilot's. "And you kissed me, then I believe you were going to kill me." He said to Relena. She looked shocked: she kissed him and she was going to kill him?!
"You believe she was going to...kill you?" Duo asked, raising an eyebrow.
Heero looked at him, mad about this remark. "Well, together forever can only happen in death. Everyone knows that since there isn't a forever in life." He said shortly, disturbed by this whole incident. He kicked himself mentally for thinking that the girl was familiar. She couldn't be, after all that was over three centuries ago judging by the look of her dress, unless she went to a medieval fair and died there. That wouldn't make much sense though.
"Oh." Duo said, understanding this for once. Heero usually said things that could confuse him at times. It was amazing how he thought of the most complex things in minutes. Then again, that was the mind of the 'perfect soldier' they were talking about, right?
"Then I blacked out." He said simply to the others.
