Chapter 15: Promises, Promises

Heero's POV

"Heero, tell me where you are." Relena yelled once again.

"Kisama, why won't she go away?" I said aloud.

"Because she is a delusional person, who wants to believe the movie she has played out in her empty skull countless times, and refuses to see the reality in the fact that you don't love her." Wufei said, answering my question.

"But why did 'I' have to be the one she thinks she is in love with?"

"Ah, well…that one I can not tell you. Maybe it's because you're unlucky."

I glared at him, but then heard Relena's foot steps. "Quiet Wufei, here she comes."

Relena came stampeding in and spotted me at once. In a blink of an eye, she had herself launching straight towards me once again that day.

'Damn, twice in one day she has tried to pounce on me,' I thought. I side stepped her when she tried to grab a hold of me. She fell on the ground, and began to whimper while sitting up a little.

"Heero help me," She wined.

"You can get yourself up" I stated with my eyes narrowing at the site of her.

Wufei snickered at my voice to her, but he scald at her when she was getting up, making it look like one of the toughest thing in the world. When she finally got up she patted herself down, as if she had gotten dust on it or something.

"Heero, you've been ganging around that street rat for to long, his bad habits and behaviors are rubbing off on you." Relena said, while looking me in the eye.

Both Wufei's and my eye's narrow even more once she finished, and Wufei began to flex his fists. Relena, of course, was oblivious to both of are reactions, and continued to smile at me.

"What do you want Relena," I growled out through clenched teeth.

"I just wanted to see and talk to my future husband, of course." She said while looking at me with eyes full of dreams and hopes, that I never would want any part of.

But when she said husband, it left me stunned. She thought that 'I' was going to be 'her' HUSBAND? I couldn't believe she could think of this, when I never, and I mean never, have shown her any forms of love. Wufei also had a look of shock on his face, but he shook it off faster than me. Because he is not the one who has a psychopath fantasizing of marrying him.

"Heero is going to be your husband? He asked.

"Yes," She answered quickly, looking at Wufei as if he was a moron for asking the question.

"When did he ask you of this?" He said, keeping his face neutral after her look.

"Oh, he hasn't asked me yet, but he will once he understands I won't reject him, and that we will be the perfect couple together."

I snapped out of my stupor state when I heard of this fantasy she spoke of. I had to make it clear that I had no intentions of making any of this true for her.

"Relena," I say, trying not to begin yelling, "I don't know when you thought I would ask you to be my wife, but you are living in a fantasy world. I do not love you, I can barley keep my self from killing you. I will never be your husband and you will never, and I mean NEVER, be my wife."

"Oh Heero don't say things you don't mean. You're just saying that because we are not alone. If we were alone, I know you would confess your feelings for me." She said while batting her eye lashes.

'This girl is as delusional as they come. Nothing ever seems to get through that thick head of hers. If she doesn't want to believe it, she pretends it never happens and goes on with her life.' I thought to myself.

I shook my head at her. I didn't know what to say anymore. She would never understand it as how mush I despise her, because she will not leave me alone. I'm sure we could have been friends if she just didn't act like she does. She thinks that I love her even though I have told her a million times that I don't, and even that I am gay. But she thinks it's all a big joke. If I loved her does she think I would act like this to her. Is she so blind that she can't see what love is? It's just so pathetic.

I was about say something when Trowa came in looking a bit worried. He saw me and what looked like a walk turning into a sprint, towards me. Relena was glaring at him, so he glared twice as hard back, making her look a little taken aback. He then turned towards me and leaned in and whispered, so only Wufei and I could hear him.

"Duo has passed out and Quatre and I can't get him to wake up!" He said quickly, "I'm heading back now, just get rid of her and come as quickly as you can." He then left as fast as he had come.

As Trowa left, Wufei and I looked at each other for a second, and I was ready to bolt away. Wufei seemed to noticed this and grabbed my arm, and I looked at him with glaring eyes, but he ignored it. He held eye contact with me before glancing at Relena, who I had forgotten about when Trowa came in with news about Duo. I turned to Relena glaring my death glare, wanting to get this conversation over with, and get to Duo.

Relena, I don't care what you say, but I will never love you. You don't even know what love is, so don't come here and preach to me about it. I can not and will never love you, so get it through thick head. Now excuse me, I have to go check on someone."

I turned and was ready to dash out of there with Wufei, but something grabbing my arm held me back.

I turned and glared at Relena again, and she shrunk back when she saw my gaze, but did not release my arm.

"It's because of that…that…boy isn't it. That's why you won't love me. That street whore has you under some kind of spell. He is what is making you not love me or understanding my love. Just be with me for a little while and you will forget about that slut. Just drop him and don't go to him. You then will understa-"I cut her off at that. When she started to call Duo all of those foul names I snapped. I had broken her grasp easily, and then slapped her on her cheek, all in one fast move. Relena had a look of shock on her face, while she held her face, where I had hit her. Tears began to form in her eyes as if I hit her with much strength. Really I just tapped her, but I guess even if a child hit her she would begin to cry. I really did just hit her as hard as a regular 10 year old would slap someone. I really didn't care anymore about being nice to her. She had insulted my Duo after I had told her countless times to call him by his name.

"Don't ever, EVER insult Duo. I told you that before and I told you I would kill you." I said glaring darkly at her.

She looked really scared as I said this. Wufei was getting ready to hold me back if I did try to kill her, even though he wanted to kill her as well for insulting his friend.

"Heero, you know you can't" Wufei said in a low whisper, so only I could hear.

I looked at him for a second, thinking of what to do. I then had and idea that might just scare Relena into believing.

"I will not kill you Relena," She looked happy this and started to smile a little, but I wasn't finished yet. "But if you insult Duo any more when we have our conversations then I will be forced to hit you. I will give you three more chances, only three. If you insult Duo while we talk I will give you a strike, literally. And after your third strike, well I guess your out." After I finished, I looked at Relena who was still clutching her cheek, eyes now over flowing with tears. I turned to the doors and walked out with Wufei following. I didn't even bother to look back at the pathetic form on the ground anymore.

While hurrying to where Trowa and Quatre were looking after Duo, Wufei began to talk. "Are you serious about killing her?"

"If she keeps calling Duo a whore, slut, street rat, or trash, then yes I will. I have given her plenty of warnings, and I am going to take action now." I replied

"Do you think she will stop, chasing you?" About three more turns and we were going to be in the room. I doubled my pace.

"I don't think she will stop, but she will probably be more careful about what she will say in our conversations. After that slap I think she will try and leave Duo out of the conversations more, but she might test me first."

"She will be wasting one of her chances, but I guess being as delusional as she is she might think your bluffing. By the way, how hard did you hit her?"

"I only hit her with the strength of a 10 year old child."

"I thought so, if you hit her with full strength I doubt she will ever get up. But did you have to hit her, she might tell someone."

"It seamed to get the point across as to how I don't like her. And I don't think she will tell anyone, because she probably still wants me as a husband, and she won't be able to have that if it ruins people's view of her."

"Fine, but just don't hit her anywhere in public or you will be in big trouble."

"Hn." I'm starting to go back to my grunts.

We reached the room that Trowa, Quatre, and Duo were in. I opened the door and saw Duo on the couch looking peaceful. I was about to run over to him when I heard Quatre speak.

"He's only sleeping now."

"What happened to him?" I asked

"He had another flashback, and that's when Trowa left to get you. Duo was already awake when Trowa came back in."

"What did he have a flashback of?" Wufei asked.

Quatre smiled as did Trowa, "He remembered Quatre and me, and I think he remembers everything we've done together or at least what he knows about us. We didn't get to ask him anything before he fell asleep though." Trowa said, hugging Quatre closer to him.

It was good that Duo remembered them, but I was a little jealous though. I didn't want to force myself on Duo, especially when he doesn't even remember really who I am or who he is for that. How could I help him remember to whom I am, and who he is. Thinking of this I thought of a new question.

"What triggered his memory?"

Trowa and Quatre looked at each other and thought of how it happened. Finally Quatre spoke after thinking of it. "He was asking us questions of where we come from and what we use to do. He seemed to like he was thinking while we answered, but when he asked about Trowa and my relationship he…just sorts…looked a bit scared as I told him of it. After that he just passed out on the chair."

"So we just need to tell him about ourselves then?" Wufei asked.

"NO," Quatre yelled and then covered his mouth as Duo stirred from the noise. "No, I don't think that would be good for his mind. We should let him ask about us…let him go at his own pace. Don't try and force him to remember."

I turned from Quatre to look at Duo again, and just watched him sleep. I raised my hand to his head and began to stroke his hair; it was as soft as I dreamt it would be. Duo moved a little bit, so I stopped not wanting to wake him up. What happened next made my heart melt. Duo, unconsciously, moved his head into my hand and moved against my hand. I started to stroke his head again and he stopped moving, and smiled in his sleep. I then decided that I would wait for Duo. I could wait for him my entire life, and be happy.

My POV

Relena is still sitting in the cafeteria, stunned at what just happened.

'Heero hit me, he actually hit me. If that wasn't enough, he then threatens to kill me if I insulted that piece of L2 trash.' She couldn't get the way Heero had looked after he hit her.

"I have to move my plan ahead a little bit. It's not perfect yet, but it should do for now. That shit has corrupted my Heero even more than I had a regionally thought. I need to get rid of him, before Heero becomes even more enslaved by him." She spoke aloud to no one.

She got up and walked out of the cafeteria, and back to her room. She had to start to plan on how to get everything set up to get rid of Duo. She left the room never noticing the camera that was in the corner of the room.
