Little Angel Chapter 9

Heero stared out his bedroom window, defying the instincts that had been forced into him. He didn't really care at the moment. His window gave him a decent veiw of the forest and beyond that you could see some of the ocean. If the window was open and the wind decided to blow in the northeast direction, you could smell salt walter.

Maybe he should move away from the window. Or maybe not.

He heard the door open and close, bare feet padding gently against the gray carpet. Heero didn't turn around. Why should he? He knew exactly who it was. He always knew who it was. A quiet voice rang in his ears and a soft hand touched his shoulder. Without meaning to, his muscles constricted.

"Heero? Are you alright?" Bunny asked.

He didn't answer. You can't answer a question you don't even have an answer for. A light chuckle sounded behind him and the hand droped.

"You're mad, aren't you? Of course, stupid question. You're mad at me because you thought I was dead, mad because you have a daughter and didn't know until a few hours ago, and you're mad because you don't know how you feel about any of this and that scares you to death."

At this point Heero turned to face her. She was right. Always right. About him, the way he felt, the way the smallest things scared him. Only her. If anything, he should give her credit for trying to keep them safe but even that thought didn't help. He brushed passed her and stoped short, in the middle of the floor.

"What am I supposed to feel Bun? You could have contacted me easily, said something, anything, about how you were doing. But that's not the point, is it? The point is you didn't. Yes, I am mad. I'm also a bunch of other things. A soilder, a lover, and now...." his voice trailed off.

"You can't even say it. You are a father and a lover, yes, but not a soilder. Not anymore. Sure, I know you can take care of yourself. You always have even before I came along. But, Heero I couldn't contact you because they might have figured out who I am without my knowledge of it. That would put you all in danger. And if Rini was here during an attack then what? You can't concentrate AND keep a seven year old girl safe at the same time. Not even if you were the Perfect Soilder."

Again, she was right. That made him feel....what? Dissapointment? Anger? There always seemed to be anger in him nowandays, and it was directed at the person he loved. He turned and saw tears run down Bunny's face. His heart shattered into a million pieces. He moved forward to hold her in his arms but she held up a hand stoping him. That hurt.

"No, don't. We've got to finish this first. That's what you do in relationships Heero. You talk to each other. So, lets talk."

Heero stiffined. "I don't have anything to say."

Bunny hung her head, her hair obscuring her face for the moment. When she raised it, no more tears flowed. Instead her eyes betrayed hurt and other emotions. Nodding in understanding, Bunny headed for the door but paused just in the doorway. She didn't look back at him.

"When you do have something to say, you know where to find me."

And then she closed the door. Bunny made it to her own room and slid down the closed door, crying.

Heero stared at the white door of his room , not thinking, not doing anything. Why the fuck did he always hurt the people he cared about? Why?

At dinner there was tension between Bunny and Heero. Neither said anything to the other; they hardly even looked at each other. In all honesty it gave Quatre a bit of a headache. Afterwards, Quatre tried to talk to his sister while Duo tried to talk to his best friend. Neither came up with much.

In the training area, Usagi was practicing diffrent patterns taught to her by a friend she made a few months back. Makato Kino. She wondered as her hand came above her head if Makato made it to the martial arts competition all right. She snapped her left arm straight out and felt a pain go through her. Taking in air swiftly, she began rubbing her arm gingerly.

"God, now what? Did I pull a muscle or something?" Bunny said to herself.

"Are you alright?"

She looked at the doorway. There stood Heero Yuy, obviously concerned. She smiled slowly, reassuriningly. She hoped anyway. Walking to a bench and sitting down she still rubbed her arm. She knew Heero sat beside her but not as close as she would have liked. Both kept a respectable distance. Heero glanced over at Bunny and saw tears flow once more.

"Buns," he said pushing a few strands of hair away from her face, "what is it?"

Sniffling and wiping away tears she told him. "I miss her so much Heero. After years of hoping and praying that she was still alive, that she might have escaped and found you, she's gone again. For the second time she's gone." With that she put her head on Heero's arm and cried long and hard.

Heero rubbed her back with a firm but loving hand. At the same time he whisphered words of comfort, love, and encouragment.
