Chapter 2: What's the diff?
By: Tojot
"What is it with guys and the need to inflict pain on one another?" Hilde commented as she picked up her teacup and looked out the window at the brawl still going on outside. Wincing when she saw Millairdo on the receiving end of what Duo liked to call a "noggin buster." Whenever Heero and Duo would get into a fight because Duo did something stupid, Duo would never have a chance because of Heero's "noggin buster." But Milliardo seemed to be taking it better than Duo ever could. Duo would usually be out cold.
"I don't know, I just think that they're trying to prove that they're the dominant male." Noin stated. Hilde noticed a crumpled piece of paper on the coffee table.
"What's that?" She asked as she pointed to it.
"Relena's letter that she left us." Noin simply answered
"I take it Zechs wasn't to pleased when he read it?"
"That's why it's crumpled up."
"Can I see it?"
"Sure." Noin answered handing the crumpled letter to the girl. Hilde uncrumpled the paper to reveal a short letter written by Relena.
*~*~*~
Dear Milliardo and Noin,
I know that when you read this letter that you will not be pleased. I felt so shut in, confined and protected from the world that I couldn't stay any longer. This was not your fault, my position was binding. There are so many things that I still do not understand yet and I believe I need some time alone to sort out my thoughts and feelings on my own. I hope you understand. I wish never to return and I beg you to not bring me back. Zechs, I want you to take over as vice foreign minister in my vacancy. I love you all.
Relena
*~*~*~
"Zechs, quit trying to place the blame on me, or anyone else. It was Relena's decision to run away." Heero breathed through his teeth, after they had both hit the ground, both too tired to fight anymore. What Heero had said hit Zechs really hard.
"It was also Relena's decision to force me into her position of vice- foreign minister. Do you think I really want it?" Zechs said as he tried to roll over onto his stomach but was to tired and fell back onto his back.
"Are you guys done fighting?" Duo asked as he stood between the tired men.
"Where is Noin?" Zechs asked, still lying there.
"Oh, She and Hilde went inside for tea. Now if you'll excuse me tea sound really good." Duo said as a few of the house staff members picked Zechs and Heero up.
*~*~*~
The hair was short now, longest strands went past her jaw and those were located just in front of the ear. Relena looked different already. She grabbed the hair dying kit and went into the bathroom. She followed the directions and turned up with black hair. As she stood in front of the mirror, she realized that she had missed something completely. Her eyebrows. They were still blonde. She groaned that she had to go through the process again, but she did it anyway or she would regret it later. She finished and could barely recognize herself in the mirror. At this point she was starting to have second thoughts about putting herself through this. She told herself that she was just going to have to let go, change doesn't happen without action. For every action there was a reaction.
Phase two was nearly completed. Relena pulled another bottle out of her pack; it was a sunless tanning solution. She showered before she put it on so it wouldn't wash off in the shower, and would be able to soak in and change the color of her skin. After she let it dry, the bottle told her to rinse (not wash) the excess off. She placed a fake tattoo on her lower back, one on her ankle and another on her shoulder. Her transformation was coming nicely. She no longer looked like herself, except for her eyes, which were still a gorgeous aqua blue. She grabbed the contact case from the counter, on which it was placed. She removed the lids to reveal that they were color changing contact lenses. She looked down at them, they were the last part of the transformation, but she still dreaded it. She wished that she wasn't so recognizable in public. With a sigh, Relena placed the hazel contacts in her eyes. It was done. Just then her stomach growled. She hadn't eaten since dinner the night before and it was approaching dinnertime again. She was just about to dive into her grocery supplies she picked up the night before, when a gentle knock came to the door. She quickly looked at herself in the mirror, approved and opened the door to the maid. The girl was average height, looked like she had a little more muscle on her than regular girls, "Hi, may I get ye any towels, amenities, or order food from a restaurant?" she asked timidly in a soft but deep voice. It sounded Irish. The maid looked a little tired. The room that Relena was in was the last thing she needed to do that day.
"Um. I do need towels, amenities would be nice and you order food?"
"Aye. And pick it up too." The maid smiled an honest smile. Pizza was really sounding good at this time.
"Order me a large pepperoni pizza." Relena said handing her a twenty. The girl pulled out a cell phone and pre-ordered.
"They said it should be ready in twenty minutes," She said as she flipped the phone shut. "I'll go get ye those towels and amenities. But first I need to get yer dirty towels." Relena gathered all the towels for the girl and handed them to her. She took off with the towels. Minutes later, she came with clean towels and a fresh stock of amenities.
"Here, ye go. By the way, ye're Ms. Relena Darlian aren't ye?" The maid said. Relena's eyes went wide.
"Oh, don't be worried, I won't tell anyone that ye're here and I won't ask why ye're here either, it's just not me business." the maid added.
"How could you tell?" Relena asked.
"The way ye speak and I can recognize yer voice pretty well, especially when I hear it on the news constantly. It is very expressive."
"Oh, I didn't realize."
"Can I take yer garbage for ye?" the maid asked changing the subject.
"Yeah.. Um. what's your name?"
"Just call me Kate."
"Okay, Kate." Relena said repetitiously. Kate looked at her watch, "It just about time, the pizza will be done soon, I'd better go." She said taking the garbage with her. Ten minutes later Kate returned with the pizza, and two replacement garbage bags.
"Here ye go, and here's the change for the pizza." She said as she handed Relena a hot pizza and the change.
"Hey Kate, are you going to be here tomorrow?" Relena asked.
"No, it's me day off. But the other maid will be here, but she doesn't do orders, though."
"Well, tell me then do you know of a place that I could go outside town, like faraway so no one could find me?" Relena asked. Kate scratched her head and then answered.
"Strangely enough, I do," she pulled a notepad out of her pocket, wrote on it, and gave it to Relena.
"Thanks." Replied Relena.
"Well I have to be getting home, fair thee well and God be with ye on yer journey." Kate said as she started to walk away.
"Farewell." Relena never saw Kate again, but this chance encounter with the kind maid would change her life forever and lead her on a journey she would never forget.
*~*~*~
"Oww...." Zechs yelped when the resident nurse cleaned his bleeding lip with alcohol.
"Oh, quit being such a big baby." The nurse told the guy. He looked to the other side of the room to see Heero, who was also getting his battle wounds treated; he had remained silent throughout the ordeal of it as well.
"Oww!" Zechs lashed out again when the nurse touched the bump on his head.
"So Heero got you with the 'noggin buster'." Duo rubbed it in.
"Is that what you call it." Zechs grimaced as he rubbed at the sore bump.
"Yeah, but it's amazing that you're still conscious after receiving one. I would be out for hours." Duo mused.
"Ha ha. What I still can't believe is that he hasn't lashed out at the nurse yet." Zechs commented looking at the silent boy who was the same age of his younger sister.
"It's the disappearance of Relena that hurts him more than anything else you could throw at him." Duo said.
"So he is in love with her." Noin added.
"Yep. I am just glad he didn't kill me when he heard the news that the little missy ran away."
"Why would he want to kill you?" Noin asked.
"Who do you think knows Heero Yuy's violent tendencies more than the person who annoys him the most?" Hilde cut in as she kissed Duo on the cheek.
"You do have a point. Owww....." Zechs commented as the nurse cleaned the bleeding wound on his cheek.
"Hey." Duo tried to think of a come back but stopped when he realized that Hilde was right. ".... Quit pickin' on me." Duo mopped as his bottom lip stuck out. The look on his face made Hilde laugh.
"Quit doing that, I can't think when you do." Hilde let out with an exasperated sigh.
"Do what? Oh you mean this?" He said as he put the mopping face on again.
"Yeah, that would be the one." Hilde giggled with excitement as Duo arms went around her and gave her a quick and sloppy kiss. Hilde had to wipe her mouth with her shirtsleeve after he was finished.
"Zechs, is their any possible way we could find her whereabouts?" the silent Heero cut in, changing the subject back to the original one.
"I doubt it, She has gone to great lengths to make sure we could not track her down. I have received absolutely no leads from anyone, she removed the tracking devices I thought I hid well, and everything she left with was rather common and can be carried around by a normal person. So it is a one in a million chance of finding her and by now she could be unrecognizable." Zechs said.
"Why would she be unrecognizable?" Heero asked.
"You can easily find things to change your appearance at a common department store." Zechs answered, "Heero, I want you to keep up the search for Relena, and don't give up till you find her." Zechs continued as he left the room.
"Hnn.....Mission Accepted." Heero grunted in compliance.
