Chapter Fourteen:

Hilde watched the scene unfold in front of her with worry. After Heero and Relena walked into the office she started to follow them, but Duo grabbed her wrist. She looked at him and he shook his head.

"Come here," he said as he pulled her into a strong embrace. Tears filled her eyes and she blurted out,

"I don't want to go back. I like it here."

"I know. I don't want you to go back either. You know," he began as he started to kiss her tears away, "you look much prettier when you're not crying," he said as he leaned down and kissed her deeply.

Wufei and Sally were off to the side watching everything.

"They must be torn inside. I feel so sorry for them."

"Yeah. Me too. It's just a matter of days before we arrive at the palace," Wufei replied in a sad tone.

Sally looked over at him, her heart dropping even more when she saw his sad expression. 'He must be pretty close to them to make him feel like this. I can't stand seeing him like this,' she thought before she stepped closer and hugged him. Wufei just hugged her back. He didn't care about anything else right now. "It's okay. Everything will be alright." Then she noticed that his body had begun to slightly shake and heard something that sounded like sobbing. She realized that Wufei was crying, which made her cry as she hugged him tighter.

As soon as Heero and Relena walked into the office, Relena threw her arms around his neck and cried uncontrollably. Heero returned the hug with full force. He wanted to say something to make her feel better, but everything he thought of would probably make her cry more, if that was even possible. Even if he could find the right thing to say to her, he wouldn't be able to say it. He had a lump in his throat, but he didn't know why until a single tear slid down his face. He pressed his face into her hair, heart broken beyond belief. After awhile Relena stopped crying, but they continued to hold each other for dear life. Neither of them wanted to break their embrace.

Relena pulled her head back, looking straight into Heero's gorgeous prussian blue eyes. "Heero-"

"Shh," he said as he leaned down and gave her a light kiss on her lips. But that wasn't enough, they both wanted more. Relena went on her tippy toes and kissed him passionately. They wrapped their arms around each other, trying to get as close as they possibly could, while their hands found the other's hair.

They eventually broke the kiss to get some much needed air, and sat down on his couch cuddling together. Relena soon fell asleep on Heero's chest. Heero heard her breathing pattern change into one of sleep and smiled. He kissed her head and repositioned himself so he was lying down like Relena was. After he did this, he let himself fall asleep.

"Okay. Your selected people will board their ship in case they decide to turn their ship around. Do you undertstand?" Milliardo ordered.

"Yes sir!" his crew said in unison.

Duo got confused when he saw people boarding the ship. He stopped the first one that walked by him. "What's going on here?" he demanded.

"Our Captain told us to board your ship so you wouldn't try to escape."

"Does he really not trust his own sister?"

"I think he trusts his sister. He just doesn't trust the people on board this ship." Duo was furious, but dismissed the man. He could understand the reasoning.

"Duo! What's going on here?" Hilde asked as she walked up to him.

He turned around and faced her. "The little prince doesn't believe that we will carry out our promise," he said seething. "I don't want them on my ship." Duo's jaw was clenched and his eyebrows furrowed into a glare. "I hate to do this to you, but I need to watch over these people. Who knows what they might do." Hilde sighed as she watched him walk off.
