The Glass Peace:
"Hamlet huh?" The Bodyguard said, raising his eyebrow. Disappointment riddled his strangely calm features. Usually others would explode by now.
"Crap." Joy muttered under her breath.
Heero looked at him angrily. "How did you get here?" He yelled, not moving from where he was to where Relena was standing next to him, gripping her arm tightly so she wouldn't try and run.
"Your mother put a tracer on your jacket, knowing you wouldn't abandon it since it's for your motorcycle." The guard said, looking just as angrily at Heero as he was to him. "She was wise to think something was up."
Heero glared daggers at him. "You're coming home right now." He said. "Wait 'til your mother hears about this. Bringing the Vice Foreign Minister to a place like this." He said, utterly disgusted.
"Says who I'm going home." His friends looked startled at Relena, shocked she was Vice Foreign Minister, neither of them watching the news or being into politics much. "And," He said to hit a nerve on the bodyguard. "It was better than knocking her out and abandoning her." He stated.
"You were going to leave her in the theatre just to play in a stupid band." He growled.
Heero glared even more darkly at him. "It's not a stupid band, we're almost famous here. The crowd loves us, and it's better than a play about people who all die in the end anyway." He said, not letting up on his glare.
"Get over here, now." The bodyguard said, loosing what little patients he had at the moment, which wasn't a lot to begin with either.
"Like hell I will." Heero retorted, still not moving a muscle other than to fix a colder glare on the bodyguard who didn't seem very intimidated outwardly, but Heero smiled inwardly by the look in his eyes.
"Don't make me come and get you." He snarled warningly, trying not to make too much of a scene, even though this was the back way.
"Or what? Like you could anyway." Hero said, crossing his arms. "You couldn't drag me by force even if you tried. You would be down in less than ten seconds." He retorted back.
Joy broke in. "Heero, maybe you should go with him, maybe he'll go easy on you." She said, wincing a bit on what would happen if Heero couldn't play in the band anymore.
Heero looked at Joy out of the corner of his eyes, his expression lightened and he dropped the death glare, then gazed at the ground, giving a sigh of defeat.
Rob and Jack looked at Joy angrily. "What?" She asked after Heero had left with Relena behind him.
"You shouldn't have done that. Heero could have easily beaten that guy." Jack snorted.
Joy looked at them. "You wanted Heero to get into even more trouble than he already was in?" She yelled at them, shocking them with this outburst. Usually Joy was quite bubbly and outgoing, rarely getting angry with anyone without a reason.
"W-Well, no- but we, we shouldn't fight, 'kay? Wouldn't want the band end up like the Beatles, now would we?" Rob said, trying to liven up the mood a bit.
Anna looked at Joy, who sighed, her anger all washing away. She shook her head. "It's impossible to stay angry at you guys." She laughed as did the others, hiding what they were fearing for Heero, though Yuka had even more to fear for the handsome teenager.
They all did a group hug, then they each went their own separate ways, since they all lived in different directions, except Yuka, who was neighbors with Heero, since her family was rich also, being close friends to the Neo Queen herself.
Yuka walked alone in the streets, not caring if she took a dark alley. No one approached her like some pathetic men would to a girl who wandered into a dark alley wearing skimpy tight clothes. She fit in perfectly with the people here, she knew they also knew she was in their band, Blackfire.
People at school were always jabbering about all that and stuff, people trying to ask Heero out on a date or any of the other boys. The girls got asked out a lot of times, though they glared at any preppy boys that dared come near them. How could they appreciate their band? They probably wanted a social ladder that was easy to climb.
She sighed, hoping that Heero would be all right...
Heero walked into the really rich estate, Fey, Relena's secretary and Pagan had already left, not allowed to see the Queen or Heero. They each went their separate ways, Heero to the estate and Relena to her car.
"Heero." The Neo Queen Ceres (note: this has NOTHING to do with Sailor Moon, 'kay? She's a queen in the future with a lot of power and Ceres is a Greek goddess of agriculture. All of the sailor moon people have names or stuff connected to mythology and I just happen to like her name, 'kay?)
She had her hair untied like it normally way, its long brown hair with highlights falling past her upper thighs, and deep blue eyes that showed anger in them. She wore a strapless white gown that fit her every skin fold and billowed out making it look like she was a very important person (which she was) with a high position in life (which she had).
"Mom." Heero said with no emotion what so ever. The Queen looked angrily at him, then took a deep breath and sat into her chair. Heero took a seat across from her in a love seat couch in the study where he usually met his mother when he was in trouble.
"Heero, why on earth did you do this?" The queen asked with frustration easily notable in her voice. 'Teenagers' Her mind muttered unpleasantly.
"Hey, it was better than ditching her." He said, slouching in his chair, while looking around the room, noting the change in its furniture and room color. "Did you change the room color and get new furniture?" He inquired to his mother.
The queen looked around the room, satisfied with its look. "Why, yes I did, don't you think it looks lovely? Now wait a minute, you're changing the subject, Heero." The Queen said, angrier now than before.
"Yes, I was, and yes, I did. I don't think the room looks good," He pondered over something. "I think that's about it. Oh, yeah, while I'm being honest with you, I'm in a band, a kick-ass one to boot too, I have a guitar, we finished a gig tonight, the Vice Foreign minister has a new clothes look, I ditch every other girl that you sent me out with by knocking them out, then going back to the theatre. Charm them with my "Wonderful" personality, then you get what you want in the end and same for them. I think that's about it." He said, getting up.
"You come back here and sit down right now!" The Queen demanded. Her vision clogged as she felt anger rising, each time this happened, she could remember anything from what happened when their was a time gap.
Her eyes burned with fire as all that she assumed and much more had come right out of his mouth in a truth for once.
Heero turned, looking at her angrily, though his face went back with no expression. "I'm not cut out for this high and fancy life style. That's all I have to say. I'll be in my room." He was about to turn and leave. "I would prefer not to be disturbed." He leaned on the door before he was about to leave, not looking at his mother. "Yknow, sometimes I even wonder if I got kidnapped or somethin'." He said dejectedly.
The Queen's head stopped hurting as she jerked her head to look at her son.
The Queen got up, sorrow in her eyes. "Heero, I don't know where you got that idea sweetie, that's so ridiculous." The Queen said softly, pulling Heero into a light embrace, feeling his not pull away she hugged him tighter. "I know that you have been under a lot of stress lately, though I don't-"
"It's because of the band. We're getting ready to sell our first major album in stores around the country and stuff. Otaku Rave has a record deal for us and we accepted it and not the other ones." Heero cut her off. He broke the embrace that he hadn't returned, just stood there. "And the fact that you're sending me on all these dates. Plus, the weird places with all sort of prissy people..." He said, turning.
He walked out of the room the Queen stood there, shaking her head slowly. "That boy can be so weird..." She murmured. She turned and walked out of the room to her own bedroom, since it was eleven o'clock at night. That's what she thought happened. She was wrong. Her mind wasn't the same as it was, playing illusory tricks on her...
She couldn't sleep, so she wandered the halls until she came across Heero's room. She opened the door, seeing he had fallen asleep at his desk, with fine black lines under his eyes. She sighed and noticed the faint playing of music. She looked at his music player and noticed it was on. She cocked her head to the side, straining her ears to hear the tune of the music when it blasted music, showing it was number eight on the CD, playing an Evanescence song.
"You don't remember me,
But I remember you,
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you,
But who can decide what they dream?
And dream I do,
I believe in you,
I'll give up everything just to find you,
I have to be with you,
To live,
To breathe,
You're taking over me!
Have you forgotten all I know, and what we had?
You saw me mourning my love for you and touched my hand,
I knew you loved me then.
I believe in you,
I'll give up everything just to find you,
I have to be with you,
To live,
To breathe,
You're taking over me!
I look in the mirror and see your face,
If I look deep enough,
So many things inside just like you, you're taking over!
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you,
I have to be with you,
To live,
To breathe,
You're taking over me!
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you,
I have to be with you,
To live,
To breathe,
You're taking over me!
You're taking over me
(Taking over me)
You're taking over me!
(Taking over me)
Taking over me!"
Ceres looked at the young teenager sleeping dreamlessly. "Heero..." She smiled, smiling sadly. Number nine started playing, 'Hello.' She looked at what was on the desk.
An assortment of stuff, including texts for his studies at school, he insisted on going to a public one, empty coke cans and a half drunken one stood upright next to all sorts of CD's, and a CD sketch cover which Ceres guessed was for his band, which was labeled Blackfire. She looked at all the papers strew that weren't for school and looked at them confused and saw his laptop which was still on, with a word document with words typed into it.
They had words that were labeled and musical sheets next to them and such. "Oh." She picked up some final copies and a CD labeled Blackfire. "It must be what they're going to play." She smiled as she took the CD and musical sheets with the lyrics with her and went into her room.
"Hm..." She thought as she took out a CD player he had given to her for her birthday, thanking him silently. Then turned about to close the door when she heard a soft thud coming from his room.
Afraid that he had shifted and fell out of the chair, she went over the room and opened it, only to find it was empty and the window opened. The only problem was, it was the second story of the building!
"Heero!" She yelled out the window, looking for his fallen body. "Oh my god!" She rushed out of the room, not able to locate the phone under such the mess his room was in and it being painted black in the middle of a moonless night making everything darker than it was.
She rushed out of the room, and ran into the hall where a phone was and called 911, the police line.
