Woohoo! I finally got some romance, and don't worry, Heero will not be evil by the end of this chapter, at least lets hope not because he's not really an evil person at all, I was just reading too many fan fictions with Seto Kaiba in them...and he was pretty evil in some of them.... –shudders-
Another thing, I know I haven't updated for a million years, and you don't know how bad I feel. But I've been dealing with a million things in my life (not all good) during this time, which is why I haven't updated for a LONG, LONG time (sorry Lolii!!!). I know the chapter I'm posting up is extra small, but I've been working on another story (Static Shock) like hell, and I think it's coming out very good. Again, I'm not going to get to update in a long time, seeing that our teachers think its reasonable to give us hw to do till like 1 am, and stuff like that. Well, enough of my excuses, here is the next (extremely short) chapter for Unwanted Arrangement, I hope you enjoy.
One more note to Hershey ( I just saw your review today) I sent it to u today, (along with this one) so I can repost whatever changes you might have in mind)

He smirked.
Things might not have turned out the way he wanted at first, but now they were. He could smell her growing fear.
He loved it.
'Run and avoid me all you like, Relena, but you'll end up running to me in the end, regardless of how much you do. After all, each step, is a step toward me.' Heero thought as he made it down to the dining room.
'I do hope she enjoys a certain...surprise that will reveal itself quite soon...Don't worry Miss Relena, you'll find out why soon enough,' With that last thought, he straightened out his attire and entered the grand dining hall.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Relena curiously lifted her head to see who entered the dining room. It consisted of a long, maple wood dining table, surrounded by plush oak chairs. On the long right side of the room there were twenty-foot windows in a row, giving a grand overlook of the sparkling lake. And on the left wall there were portraits of earlier rulers and leaders of the Moon.
Let's just say that she was not happy to see whom it was.
Frowning in disappointment and dread, she averted her gaze to her brother who was currently glaring a hole right through Heero's head.
But Heero ignored the ill-tempered brother, and swiftly made his way to the seat right next who else then Relena herself. As soon as he seated himself, his Prussian eyes flicked toward her figure, wanting to see what her reaction would be like.
Relena immediately stiffened when she saw him head toward her through the corner of her eye, though quickly hid it when he sat beside her. Her only concern at the moment was to ignore him.
At all costs.
Grinning at her hidden discomfort, the prince of Earth acted like a true gentleman, a perfect mask from his true intentions, which fooled almost everyone at the table.
Relena and Duo knew well that he was covering it up, and pretty well, because neither Queens knew of his obsession for revenge, or of his previous threat to Relena. But that was not the matter at the moment. The Queen of the Moon had a look on her face that Relena saw earlier, when she told her about this certain arrangement that would turn her life upside down. She didn't know exactly what she was going to say, or what news. All she knew is that she is that it was something she would REALLY not like.
And how right she was...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heero smirked when he saw her brother with a glare pasted on his face as well as a frown.
'She has one stubborn brother, she better not turn out the same...'
He didn't really know what to make of it anymore. He had thought over his intentions. Did he really have the right to terrorize this princess? He shook his head, he shouldn't be thinking about this, especially not now. He'd rethink it over tonight. Right now all he was interested was on the certain news the two royalties had in store. And how he would amuse himself with her later on...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Queen Emily bit her lip anxiously. She didn't know how her daughter was going to take the news.
'I might as well get out with it, I just hope she is not so upset about it.' Nodding mentally at her decision, she parted her lips, and asked Relena for her attention.
"Relena, dear, I have something to tell you. I know it may seem sudden, but you know how the wedding was to take place here on our home?" She asked, thinking of a way to word her news.
Slightly skeptical, the princess nodded, noticing how her brother was gripping his silverwear so tight that his knuckles were turning white.
"Yes, mother," She responding, affirming that she held her attention.
"Well, you see...We decided that, well, maybe it would be best if you started to get familiar with earth before. You know, so you could maybe get to know others better, some in particular, so we decided to, well, how do I say this...I guess there is only one way to say this..." Queen Emily stumbled, trying to get the news out of her, but she just couldn't bare to see her child in such pain.
"You're leaving tomorrow morning for Earth." She winced inside as she heard the words leave her mouth. She hadn't meant to sound so harsh, but they could not be taken back.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The azure eyed girl new this was coming. Or something of the like anyway, her mother did have the same look in her eye. So she did what was expected of her, she simply nodded, and acted as if she was merely asked to get to bed early.
She knew what they thought she was going to do, cry and bolt to her room. But she was done with that, she had to change and become strong, whether she wanted to or not. After all, this was not about her, it was about the civilians, they deserved nothing less then peace. They did not deserved to have their life stolen, no one did.
'That's right mother, I'm not bursting into tears, I'm no longer a little girl that cries when things don't go her way. I'm strong now, and I will not let Mr. Yuy scare me. I will be a grand leader, just like my father and you.' She thought determined to grow strong.
She flicked her eyes to her future husband, curious to see his reaction to the news. He either already knew, or was a master at hiding his expressions.
She turned back to face her mother, waiting to see if there was anything else that she wanted to tell her. It seemed there wasn't, but an expected expression lay on her features. A shocked expression, and as if she were reading her mind, she quickly changed it and announced the continuation of dinner.
But she wasn't hungry, how could she be? In less then twenty-four hours she found out that she was betrothed, her husband to be was a total jerk, and he was out to ruin her life. Among other things, but she didn't want her mind to go there anytime soon. Instead she focused on forcing the food down her throat, not wanting to look suspicious or like the news had even phased her in the slightest ways. Hopefully that would help get Heero off her back, and let her sleep in peace, and procrastinate enough so it'd seem like eternity until it was tomorrow morning.
It seemed that Lady Luck had other plans for her though. Right after dinner, Heero requested a walk with her, and she couldn't refuse in front of her mother. She had to be 'polite,' and she would be, in front of her mother that is.
Shaking herself out of her thoughts she saw that they had already reached her favorite bench out in the garden. He was sitting casually from a safe distance, lost in his thoughts she presumed. Not that it really mattered, the faster this was over with the better. She didn't trust the guy anymore, kind of weird isn't it? How someone can change so fast so easily. Before she thought that every man was a gentleman, but he proved her wrong, he was a total jerk. She wrinkled her nose at the thought of having to live with him the rest of her life. And she wouldn't just live in the same household, but she would have to sleep in the same BED!
'God, I swear, if he lays ONE finger on me, I WILL slap him,' She thought as she narrowed her eyes, giving her a look that would have warned anyone not to go near her, but Heero was anything but scared to go near her. According to him, he was the predator, and she was the prey. He shook her out of her thoughts by chuckling at the thought of being afraid of her.
"And what, pray tell, is so funny?" Relena asked in annoyance, how dare he laugh at her!
But he didn't answer her with words...he had something else in mind...
Smirking, he rested his strong arms mere centimeters from her thighs, leaning in so that his lips were millimeters for her neck. His hot breath washing over her delicate skin, creating a thin film of moisture, causing shivers to tremor down her spine. His half closed eyes glinting with amusement. He could hear her short breaths, but that was not enough. He wanted a bigger reaction from her, he wanted to mark her. So he painstakingly lifted his right hand (she was sitting to his left) and rested it on her right side, brushing against her upper thigh in doing so. This caused her to shift and lay down on the bench to try to escape his touch, but only made things worse in the end.
'I wouldn't have asked if I'd known he would react THIS way...' Her breath was caught at his proximity, shocked at the fact he would dare to approach her in such a manner. Her blue eyes were wide open, and her mouth was slightly agape at his actions. What was he going to do now?
'This may actually be more amusing then I thought...' He mused, burying his face in her silky soft locks.
This not only caused her face to turn a scarlet hue, but her entire body went numb with shock. She wanted to yell at him, and send him to hell for all eternity, but her body would not respond she was frozen, and she hated it.
"You should be getting used to this...after all, we are engaged. This is just the beginning, just wait for our wedding night..." He whispered in her ear. His lips curved up when he heard her gasp in shock.
'This is simply too amusing. She's so innocent and naïve...' He thought as a chuckle began to form in his throat. But he dared not to let it out, it would ruin the entire atmosphere.
But he was soon interrupted when he heard heavy footsteps approaching them. Grunting with annoyance, he slid off her, giving her a warning glance as he did so.
Relena gulped at the look she received. She knew what it mean, tell your brother and you'll just make it worse for yourself. It would be pointless in the end, she'd just end up getting her brother into trouble with their mother in the end. Milliardo soon interrupted their silent communication.
"Would you please excuse my sister, I wish to talk to her before she leaves tomorrow morning." He asked as politely as he could. He was close to gritting his teeth and punching Heero's face until it became an array of colors.
Relena gladly joined her brother on a walk to her room. She stood up from her now sitting position and linked her arm to her brothers, pulling herself close to him. She felt safe when she was with him, like he was the only prince in shining armor for her. A soft smile graced her lips when she felt him pull her even closer. She knew her brother disagreed with the marriage greatly, as did she. But who said it was all about her. She reminded herself that the people needed this treaty to make peace, and if it would cost her life, then so be it. Peace was far more important then what she wanted.
"Don't worry big brother, I'll be fine," She said, trying to comfort her brother's mind.
'There she goes again, putting others in front of herself as always. What did this Yuy guy do to deserve such an honor to marry my little sister, he's not good enough for her.' He thought.
"I'm going to miss you Ren, you know that right?" He asked softly.
"Yes, I know. And I will miss you more, big brother. I wish I could stay here with you, why can't you come with us?" She asked curiously.
"Because I have to take care of Mother and I have meetings and work here." He replied, himself not liking the fact that he couldn't be her body guard, especially in HIS home.
The rest of the walk had been very silent, but peaceful and pleasant. He sighed to himself when he realized the fact that they were at her door already. He pecked her on the cheek, and bid her a good night. At least he'd be at her wedding, and he promised himself that he'd go to Earth and check up on his sister from time to time.
Relena sighed as she lay on her bed. She was going to miss her mother and brother so much during her stay on Earth. She was so tired as well from the tiring day, after all, Heero had been a jerk to her his entire stay. But she fought to stay awake, she didn't want it to be the next day, but as hard as she tried, her heavy eyelids drifted shut, and fell into a peaceful sleep.
Well, I know that was EXTRA short, but I PROMISE you, the story that I'm working on right now will TOTALLY make up for the lateness.
