Chapter 5 – The Prince and Heero

Heero would not of laughed at Relena's expressions when she saw him that morning if he could. She must of figured it out. I'll always do what I promised her. I'll always protect and love her.

With that, he decided to train for a little while. Just to see how good he still was against someone else. With luck Wufei would be there.

But what Heero didn't know was…

…the prince was.

Adray didn't know what to do. He was so angry at what Relena did. Even worse he found out that Heero Yuy loved her! That was just not right. But then he learned that Heero Yuy was one of her personal bodyguards. Sometimes…those maids just knew too much.

When the door opened to see who had entered. To see the one and only Heero Yuy.

That guy was so strange. He never said anything, no show of emotions wasn't even that good looking.

As the prince was counting off what he thought was horrible traits his ego continued to get larger. The more he said the more he believed Relena would love him and not Heero. So wrapped up in his own importance he failed to notice the punch…coming straight at him.

smack

As he fell he thought he saw a smile of satisfaction on his face. When he got up he grabbed the pole next to him.

If Heero Yuy wanted a fight he got himself a fight.

Heero couldn't believe he was this lucky to have the bastard alone and being able to fight him. He'd prove to everyone to everyone he could have Relena.

The fight then began.

Adray, thinking that he had the advantage with a weapon attacked first. But Heero was too fast and quickly side stepped it, managing to trip Adray in the process. As he fell Heero tried to elbow him in the face but he rolled away. So Heero's elbow connected with concrete. Adray, thinking that Heero had at least broken his arm, got up laughing, but stopped when Heero got up as good as new.

''Who are you?'' Adray had never seen such a thing. He should have been on the floor moaning in pain.

''What are you?'' He changed his question.

''Nothing,'' he started to walk toward him,'' you would understand.''

Heero started to walkout of the room, but thought better of it and took out his gun. Pointing it right at Adray he said,'' You ever hurt Relena…I'll kill you.

He had realized he couldn't kill him. Seeing that if he did all the blame would go on Relena. He started to walkout of the room.

''Hahaha…you know she's mine now and you can't do anything about it, but you know maybe I'll be generous. When she gets boring I'll kill her in her sleep.''

Heero felt the rage taking control of him. He saw the gun that rested in his hand. Grabbing it he aimed right at Adray and shot him right through his leg.

''Four aces hahaha,'' Duo yelled to the others.

The four boys were playing poker. Duo's idea of course.

''Sorry Duo,'' Quatre smiled in sympathy,'' but I have a royal flush.''

''Ohhh man,'' Duo sank back into his seat.

But Duo stopped his complaints when Heero walked right through the door.

Covered in blood.

''Oh my god Heero what did you do!'' Duo was shocked,'' What have you done!''

''I put the prince in his place,'' Heero had an evil glint in his eye,'' Don't worry no one will know it was me.''

knock, knock

And in walked Milliardo Peacecraft. Than he saw Heero, covered in blood. Instead of calling for security he just shock his head.

''As a brother Yuy all I have to say is right on.''

With that he walked right back out.

The guys just started at the door Milliardo walked out of in complete shock.

''Well, guess I'm going to take a bath to get the blood off.''

And with that the boys were still in shock.

''What!'' Relena was shocked. She just had been told her fiancé had been shot through the leg. He would make a full recovery, was the word from Sally Po. He'll be able to walk too, but no one knew who did it, and if they did know everyone was quiet about it. But Relena thought that she had an idea who did. As she got up and crossed her room she had a thought on her mind.

She was going to find Heero Yuy.

As the guys were getting out of their shock they started to get back in to their game, but…soon as Relena came running in they were sent right back in as she went right to where Heero was.

In the bathroom.

''Heero Yuy!'' she yelled as she slammed the door closed.

''Yes Relena what do you want?'' he asked, but his words were mumbled as he brushed his teeth.

''Dear Heero,'' she started to walk and stopped right next to him,'' why did you shot Adray through the leg?'' she asked casually. Her theory was proven correct when he pause in mid-action. When he turned to answer her she saw the blood on him and the fresh blood that was starting to pour down his arm.

''Heero!'' she shouted in concern. She walked around the small room picking up the items she needed to tend to his wounds. Picking up his arm and starting to damp it in alcohol she thought she heard him say something, but before she could ask he wrenched his arm from her.

''Heero?'' she whispered. He didn't turn, instead keeping his back to her. She jumped when his fist collided with the wall leaving a small hole.

She tried again to reach him but he walked off.

''Because Relena I'm…,'' realizing he was answering her earlier question she focused all her attention on him, but just than Duo ran through the door camera in hand. Whirling around widely looking for embarrassing pictures for blackmail he saw them. Seeing as Heero was not giving him the nicest of looks he straightened and calmly walked out of the room.

When she was sure nobody else was going to come in she turned back to him,'' You're what?''

But Heero shock his head and pulled back. Relena slowly walked out of the room with the door behind her shutting with a soft click.

''Because I'm jealous...

Heero turned to look at him self in the mirror. A small smile appeared in his face.

…and I will found a way to have you.

Dorothy was walking around the grand mansion when she spotted Relena entering her private garden. Calling out to her she saw her stop, a way of inviting her to join her. Catching up she knew something was wrong.

''So are you going to tell me or am I going to have to get it out of the maids?'' she asked.

A small chuckle was heard from Relena but then it was silence again. Kicking the small dirt balls on the tiny road the garden she wondered what happen. Reaching the private garden Relena sat in the large swing made from vines on the huge oak tree.

The garden was beautiful in itself. Full of different flowers from all over the world and small fountains everywhere it truly was a safe heaven. All the flowers were taking care of by Relena and the women herself was constantly shopping for more. Deciding to take her shopping soon she once again asked her what was wrong.

''Dorothy do you love Quatre?'' was the question she got in return. She felt herself blush from head to toe in shock. Stumbling for answer she finally thought of one fit.

''I do love him but what is love really. It's not some play thing that you can turn on and off and neither does it last forever sometimes. When you're truly in love you have to work with that love and have the other person work with theirs. Love doesn't insure a happy ever after and most of the times were too caught up in the feel of it that we don't see what love really is and that's something so beautiful and we take it for granted. So yes I do love him and I might not always but for right now in this moment I would give him everything I have and that's what I believe what true love is. Sacrifices.''

Relena looked at her through glazed over eyes,'' I would give him everything I have and more Dorothy. Why doesn't he see that.''

And for the rest of the night the two talked and cried. Just remembering all of the times that their love when unnoticed or mistaken for something else. Unknowing of a figure that listened to them all night.
