The Links of Chains
By AlyssaAnimeAngel
Alyssa: Hi this is just a sweet little fanfic that I wrote. It has nothing to do with 'The Constellations' or 'A Midnight Visit' or 'Ice Mission'. Though this has also angst and romance, is a lemon and sci-fi and has action and adventure it will turn out good. The Links of Chains is also NOT a dirty lemon with any bondage…okay maybe a little bit of chains but not in any sick way. And the title has nothing to do with those chains but it is a metaphor for the Gundam Guys and girls. Actually I wont tell you what lives the G-Boys and girls are living cause you can work it out. Review me!!! Or I wont continue.
Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing or any of its characters. Please don't sue and have fun reading.
Chapter 2
Heero sat up with a jump. The last thing he remembered was being shot in the shoulder and having Relena under him. He had been protecting her from a sniper. But now, now he didn't know where he was.
"Am I dead?" he whispered to himself.
His shoulder and leg no longer hurt so he quickly inspected the areas. There was no wound on either his leg or shoulder and hero supposed he must be dead and yet, he didn't feel dead.
"Relena!" he called out.
Silence greeted his question and he stood up and examined his surroundings. There wasn't much to examine, just complete darkness.
Heero decided the best course of action would be to make a perimeter search of his surroundings to find out where he was, if that was possible.
Heero proceeded to walk in the direction he was facing, as that was as good as any. The search was looking dire, as the darkness seemed to permeate everywhere.
He was thinking that perhaps this was death, as unlikely as that seemed. He had always thought that death would mean the extinguishing of the self. Once you where gone, there was nothing of you left. That is perhaps why he had been so willing to sacrifice his own life, because after death he would no longer worry about his life. Relena had changed that, Heero realized, "She cared about my life even when I didn't, and I found that I couldn't leave her alone, nor could I let her go."
Heero was stilled as he caught a whisper on the wind.
"Identify yourself!"
The whisper grew slightly louder, though he still couldn't make it out. The voice seemed familiar though.
"I cannot hear you."
"Help me…" the whisper rang out and Heero recognized the voice immediately.
"RELENA!"
Silence greeted his call and he became exceedingly worried. She would never fail to answer his call unless she was unable to.
Heero broke off in to a jog and nearly fell off the rocky cliff-face that appeared beneath him. He looked over into the abyss and could not make out the bottom. Across from his cliff was another, though it was easily 500 meters away.
"Heero?" Relena's voice seemed to carry from the other side of the ravine.
Heero called out, "RELENA!"
He heard a cry from Relena and knew she was in danger.
So he jumped.
Heero didn't even realize he had jumped until he was falling through the air. He knew the laws of physics would spell his doom but he just hoped that somehow he would make it.
Pain exploded in his back and he curled up into a ball in reflex. It felt like daggers being dragged down his back and for a moment his vision blacked out.
Almost as quickly as the pain came it was gone again and Heero craned his neck to see his back. It shocked him to find a pair of white feathery wings sticking out from his back. They were streaked with blood and he realized they had been the cause of his pain. He was still falling and knew this was the miracle he was hoping for.
Some part of him knew how to operate his new limbs and they extended outwards slowing his descent. He made them flap up and down and soon he was moving upwards. Soon the edge of the cliff came into view and Heero landed on Relena's side.
He was exhausted and collapsed to the ground as soon as his feet touched ground.
Sweat dripped down his face as he pushed himself up. The wings were so much heavier now that he was land bound and wanted them to disappear now that they had served their purpose. However they remained, as though they were now a part of him like an arm or a leg.
Heero called out, "Relena!"
"What are you doing here?"
Heero turned sharply to see a little boy standing there. He was about eight years old and had bright blue eyes and hair the color of sunshine.
Heero started as the boys identity came to light and he queried,
"Zechs?"
"Huh?"
"I mean Milliardo, Milliardo Peacecraft."
"Do I know you?"
"No."
"Oh, well then please tell me who you are and what you are doing here."
"You can call me Heero, I am here to find Relena."
"My little sis, why do you want her? Are you a terrorist? If you are then you will pay for daring to touch my sister."
"I am no terrorist, I am a friend or hers."
"Oh, well then you may answer me a question."
"Fine."
"What is her favorite color?"
"Pink."
"You could have guessed that, so you will answer another question."
"No, I have no time, I answered your question, now let me pass."
"Fine, but I warn you," Heero stared at the boy whose eyes were downcast and listened as his voice became deep and dangerous, "the guardians will not let you pass easily."
"Who are these gua…" Heero was cut off as the boy disappeared.
Heero walked away from the rocky ravine and was surprised as the scenery changed to a grassy plain with a giant tree in the center.
The tree was a cherry blossom and was as tall as a twenty-story skyscraper.
Heero approached the tree and was shocked to find children sleeping under it. The tree rustled in the wind and petals feel everywhere. Heero could barely see through it but he could hear a beautiful music emanating from ahead of him. It was the violin.
Heero proceeded forward and he saw the children wide-awake and looking up to…Quatre.
"Quatre, what are you doing here?"
The Arabian blonde stopped playing causing a collective sigh from the children. He turned his eyes to Heero with a questioning look on his face.
"You do not belong here, this is a place of serenity, of…"
Quatre was cut off by a sharp crack that sent Heero's ears ringing. A bright light filled the sky and Heero watched as the cherry blossom caught fire.
Quatre doubled over in pain and Heero picked him up ordering the kids to follow as Heero ran away from the tree, which was slowly collapsing. Thankfully it was falling in the opposite direction to which Heero was running in.
Quatre emitted soft moans from his cradled position in Heero's arms. The children were following but everyone was sent off their feet when the shockwave from the crashing of the tree hit them. Heero turned and looked behind to see a great wall of fire closing in on them.
Heero stood up with the unconscious boy in his arms, "Run!"
He continued on with the kids following but when he turned his head to check on the progress of the fire, he remembered his wings. But he couldn't just leave the kids.
Heero debated and decided to continue as is.
He stumbled as he entered a forest, which appeared out of nowhere and fell to the ground, Quatre rolling out of his arms.
He checked Quatre's life signs and found them to be stable before looking behind.
His eyebrows rose as he saw the kids and an ocean behind them.
Heero approached a little girl with golden brown hair in piggy tails, "Where am I?"
Quatre's voice issued out from behind him, "They have no voice of their own. They only exist to listen."
Heero turned to see Quatre leaning against the tree. He had a violin in his hands and was plucking silently at the strings.
"Quatre, I demand to know what is going on."
"I am not really Quatre, merely a perception of him. Relena's perception. If you can work out where you are then I shall let you continue."
"What are you talking about?"
"Listen to your heart, really listen."
Heero was perplexed. Listen, listen he says, but what does he mean by my heart and what has that to do with Relena.
Quatre started to play a tune on his violin and recognized the piece. It was something he had heard before but the notes weren't the same as when he had heard it. They were slightly different.
They seemed more cheerful than when he had heard it and that was when he remembered.
flashback
Relena clapped along with Heero as Quatre turned and bowed to the audience.
Heero found the song to be a sad song so he was surprised when Relena turned to him beaming.
"It sounded so happy."
End flashback"Relena heard it as happy and that is how I hear it too, then am I…" Heero felt his heart beating faster than normal and turned to Quatre who was smiling at him, "Quatre am I inside Relena's mind?"
"Well done, you listened, therefore I shall stay true to my word and you can pass, but be careful not to disturb the sleeper as you pass through the woods. It may be the last thing you do."
"Quatre, what do you mean?"
Quatre disappeared just as Heero finished his question and he was left alone looking into a deep dark forest.
Lys: The end for now, I hope to update soon.
