A few days went by and Heero was able to move about with hissing in pain. Everyone was very surprised at how quickly the Japanese boy recovered. His gun shot wound was a dull sensation and he no longer required a sling for his relocated shoulder. He had taken care of that when Trowa broke into the cell. His ribs were still bound tightly to makes sure that they were mending properly.
Alone in his room he notices that the silence was getting to him. Laying on his bed he expected at any given minute that the energetic Deathscythe pilot would bounce into his room and fill the loneliness and silence with his senseless jabber, gum popping, singing, or anything, but it wasn't to be.
Duo had left for a mission and he didn't know when he would return.
A slight knock on his door brought Heero back into focus. After giving a quick answer to enter the visitor was greeted with cold metal against his temple as he walked in.
"I'm---I'm s-sorry for disturbing you Master Yuy, but there is a call for you."
"From whom?" The soldier demanded in a low icy tone.
"She didn't give me her name Sir. However, she has a rather usual hair color if you don't mind me saying so, Sir." The servant said, in a very shaky voice. Heero quickly holstered his weapon and left the room. The servant let go of his breath fearing that if he made a sound the trigger- happy terrorist would kill him for sure.
Down the hall, Heero sat at the vid-phone.
"Yuy, here."
"Hello, Heero Yuy. My name is Mara, Lead Field Commander of the Amazonial Imperial Guard. We are returning to Earth with Her Majesty, Queen Nemesis. However, we need to keep her arrival a private matter. This is why I contacted you."
She waited a few minutes as she stared at the squggley kid with mousy brown hair and cold Prussian blue eyes. He looks like nothing that she had envisioned.
"I'm quiet sure that with all of your ship's capabilities, you can return to Earth without any problems." He voice was frothy and his face unreadable.
"That is correct but I'm not requesting your assistance with that. I need for you to make sure that our arrival to the Peacecraft estate is confidential. No one else other than yourself need to be privy to our return."
"Roger that. Mission Accepted. What is your ETA?"
"We will arrive by tomorrow evening until then Captain Yuy, Mara out."
Heero sat there fixated at the blank vid screen. He was so shock to find that the woman he had been talking with was a very usual hair color indeed. Not only was it a pale green but her eyes were an amber-yellow shade as well. He couldn't show her his shock at that, so the Perfect Soldier remained stoic and quiet.
He had also noticed that she had on body armor, maybe all Amazons were like that, he thought. Her features were similar to one Amazon queen.
/Maybe, they're related although I'm not sure how/
Back in his room his room he was greeted by the princess of the Sanc kingdom. "Heero."
"Relena." He said as flat and as cold as he could mustard. He couldn't feel anything stronger than a brother/sister type of relationship with her.
"I wanted to see how you were feeling?"
"I'm fine." He said as he made his way to his laptop.
"Heero, I need know your answer about the question that I posed to you a few days ago."
He was waiting for the computer to finish booting and turned around to face her.
She once again managed to cut him off, "Now, I know what you're going to say, 'that you're not worthy or how can I love someone such as yourself because you are a soldier', but in all honesty Heero it doesn't matter. You give me the strength that I need to keep on living and without you by my side I don't know what I would do."
/This is not happening to me! If I tell her 'no', she might go off the deep end. Oh, god! Please help me/
+++++++++++++++++++
The arrival of Nemesis' shuttle approached silently. Heero stood at the landing site waiting for the small spacecraft to descend. He contemplated about his decision the night before with Relena and hope that he didn't make a bad judgement call. Things like this shouldn't happed to a perfect soldier, should it?
The shuttle touched down at 11:57pm. Every one was asleep except for thieves and soldiers. The shuttle doors opened and the decent of the royal guard commenced. The first was the commander he had talked with about their arrival.
The next person was another girl, much smaller than Mara; she resembled her as far as skin color and other facial features. All Amazons except for Nemesis must have a unique skin tone, Heero thought. The third person was a muscular fellow with weird spiky black hair and black eyes.
His eyes reminded Heero of WuFei's slightly slanted ones. He was wearing some type of body armor suit with shoulder guards. The armor itself was white and was worn with a short sleeve black bodysuit underneath.
Another guy, actually two of them emerged at the same time, their suites were similar to the previous guard, but their body suits was of a royal blue color. Both shared identical facial features.
/Definitely related/
They had black eyes and black hair that spiked straight back and up. The fourth guy casually walked out of the shuttle. He had lavender hair and striking blue eyes. Not to mention well defined calf muscles, nice rounded arms and chest muscles, and a taut stomach all covered by a long sleeve royal blue body suit. His armor stopped at the waist just like the others, and it formed a vest- type look. All of the male guards, except for the last guy, wore a dark brown belt. Their uniforms were complete with matching white gloves and white boots.
/What a strange group indeed/ Heero thought.
Sally came out follow by the Amazon queen. He noticed the blank look on the immortal's face. There was no happiness dancing in her silver-blue eyes. Normally, Heero could always detect mischief behind her gaze, but now there's nothing.
She looked far into the pregnancy, more than five months by his calculations. Her face was much more full than the last time he remembered. He could also see a slight bulge beneath her black hooded cloak.
The commander approached him. "Captain Yuy."
He gave a slight nod.
"If you would be so kind as to escort us to our holdings."
"Since I wasn't informed of how many people were arriving, some of you will have to share rooms. One of you can sleep in Duo's room, which is adjoined to mine. There is a spare room next to mine with two divided sections and a private bath as well."
"And Her Majesty?"
"She all ready has a room. Hers is down the hall from me and the others."
"Very good." Mara finished, then she signaled for the guy with the lavender hair.
"Trunks, you go ahead and take the extra bed in Heero's room. Kay, Geta, and Zar you three will stay in the other room, and Saleen and myself will stay with Her Majesty."
Heero just stepped back and watched as she delegated the sleeping arrangements. Once inside, Sally caught Heero on his way to his room. He had all ready showed Kay, Geta and Zar to their room. He discovered that Geta and Zar were identical twins.
Mara and Saleen were all ready in the room with Nemesis, and that had only left Trunks, who walked quietly behind them.
"Heero." He gave her a hard look. She swallowed nervously. "I need to speak with you." He still remained quiet.
After they enter the room he continued onto his private chamber. Calling over his shoulder to the new comer. "This is where you will sleep until other arrangements can be made. The bathroom is down the hall, and next to it is my room."
Heero halt mid way and turned around, looking the older boy directly in the eyes. "If you need me for any reason knock before you enter. Even if my door is open. I will not hesitate shooting you first." Trunks merely looked backed at him and flopped down on the queen-size bed.
Heero entered his room with Sally in tow. Once inside he proceeded to his laptop checking his messages.
"What do you need to tell me Sal?"
"Well, it's nice to see you too Heero."
He gave her the death glare. She took a step back.
"Anyway, Nemesis will be back to her old self once she deliveries the baby."
"When's that?"
"Any day now."
"NANI!!! How is that Possible?" Heero stopped his keyboarding to turn around and face her.
"When we arrived at Amazonia, Pegasus placed her inside a chamber fill with a vacious gel to speed-up the gestation process of the pregnancy."
"Why?"
"Well, apparently this happened before and she went through the term normally. However, it nearly killed her. The father was devastated though."
"Continue"
"The babies died the next day."
/Oh god! That's way she doesn't want Duo to know/ He thought.
Sally saw the shocked expression on his face and he didn't bother to hide it.
"Is there something wrong, Heero?" She asked quietly.
"Aa."
Sally knows that Heero knew something that she didn't which probably meant, "Do you know who the father is Heero?"
"She didn't tell you?" Damn him. A question with a question.
"No. She doesn't want him to find out." Heero merely answered. She knew that she wasn't going to get any thing out of the tight-lipped boy.
It was well past two in the morning and Heero wanted to talk to Nemesis. He bolts out of his room, and Sally hears the front bedroom door shut. She ventured into the other room with Trunks who was staring blankly at the closed door.
"What's his problem Sally?" He asked in a low tenor voice.
"Honestly, Trunks. I really don't know." That was all that either of them could say.
She bid him good night and made her why to her old room next to the med- lab. She needed to get some rest before trying to take on the rest of the pilots. Today is going to be a very long day she thought.
+++++++++++++++++++
Heero stopped himself outside of the queen's room. He knew that he might not get the answers that he wanted but he had to try. He gently knocked on the door trying not to make it sound like a bang. The door opened slightly and revealed two sets of emerald orbs.
Heero didn't waste any time. "I need to speak with Nemesis."
"I'm sorry Capt. Yuy but the queen is not accepting any visitors right now. You can visit with her later if you wish." That was the wrong answer.
"You either let me see her NOW or I will break this door down to see her. The choice is yours." The soldier countered. The girl closed the door for a moment, then opened again to reveal a fuming Mara.
"Capt. Yuy! I find your behavior most unacceptable."
"I don't care." His eyes narrow more than normal, as he gave her his trademark glare. She backed off a bit as she clearly saw the threatening look.
"Fine! But you better remember that next time that I will not be as forgiving."
He didn't comment as he brushed by the young amazon. Mara and the other girl went outside. In the room he saw Nemesis sitting on the edge of the bed. Her hair was unbound like a flowing river of silk onyx. She was in dressed in her evening clothes and a silk gold robe that was slightly opened. He crouched directly in front of her taking in the fullness of her huge belly.
"Tell me why?" The soldier demanded in a low icy tone.
"I think you know why Heero." Nemesis voice was low and cold as well.
"You say you don't want to hurt him but you're doing that by not saying anything."
"He does not need to know and you shall not tell him about it either." She countered.
"Acceptable. For now."
"You want to know about the scrolls?" She asked him. He nodded once.
"You and Duo have a history together as well as Trowa and Quatre." Finally she's admitting something.
"And what about WuFei?"
"Him as well. All of your lives intermingle, but that is all that I can tell you."
"Why?"
"In time all of you will discover who you really are. Once that happens this war will cease and your lives will be as it should."
He thought for a second. "What if it isn't how you wanted to be?"
"It is not how as you say ' I want it to be'. Your life has been played over and over again for thousands of years, and just so you know, you and Duo are soul mates."
He couldn't hide the shock from his eyes but his face remained blank. Now he understood why she would kill Relena. Him and Duo were supposed to be together and he just ruined it.
"Kuso!" Now he really didn't know what to do.
"What's wrong Heero? I gave you the answers that you wanted, right?"
Heero turned away from her with his head hung low, not knowing how to tell her about Relena.
/Just tell the truth/ He mused quietly. He was about to open his mouth when Mara cam in with a panic look upon her face. Both of them turned to face her. She lowered herself onto one knee and spoke with her head slightly bowed.
"Your Majesty!" Nemesis signaled for the commander to rise.
"What is wrong Mara?"
"There is a message waiting for Capt. Yuy." Mara looked at him.
"Who's the message from?" He asked.
"A man named Duke Dermail." Mara replied. Heero knew what was going on and it definitely wasn't good.
He walked up to Mara. "Assemble your team while I'll wake the others then meet us in the main conference room." He then proceeded toward the door, but the tall warrior stopped him.
"Not until you tell me what is going on!" She demanded. She wasn't waking- up her guard without a damn good explanation.
Heero didn't turn around. He casually tossed the answer over his shoulder, "Duo's been captured!"
