Dead While Living

Chapter 3

It had been an hour, since Heero’s father left Relena in his room. He had took off the handcuffs and left her alone in the dark. She was waiting to go see Heero. She wondered if he would even talk to her. He was probably dramatized, but she would be there for him. She would take care of him. She would be strong for him. She kept on thinking if he was different than before. She couldn’t stop thinking of how much Heero was different from his father. She wanted to know why Heero’s father hated Heero so much. The door opened and Jade walked in. She walked over to Relena and handcuffed her again. They walked all the way down the hall to a room. The door was closed and it was silent. Jade opened the door and unhandcuffed her, then threw Relena in. She fell to the ground and the door closed behind her.

Her blouse was still opened, because the buttons were broken. Her skirt was ripped and she felt so dirty. It was cold and dark in the room. She looked up and saw a bed. She stood up and saw Heero lying on the bed. She smiled and walked over to the bed. He was asleep and he had bandages all over his arm. She frowned at the sight. She stopped looking at his arm and looked at his well-toned chest. It was small, he wasn’t bulky or anything. He had about a million scratches and he looked like he wasn’t really eating that well. His zipper was open all the way and she blushed. His face was the same. He didn’t have any scratches on his face. His hair was the same, but his beautiful eyes were closed. He was shaking a little. So she grabbed the sheets and covered him with it. She went on the bed and hugged him to make him warmer. She put her head next to his cheek and put her hand across his chest. She smiled and just lay there. She pulled the covers to cover them both. She couldn’t sleep, so she just tried her best to keep him warm. She put her head up to look at his face. He looked so innocent, just lying there. She caressed his cheek and then traced his face. She traced his lips and went down to kiss him. But stopped when his eyes opened.

"Relena." He said. He didn’t have a death glare on his face. He just looked slightly shocked. She looked into his beautiful eyes and he looked down.

"What are you doing?" He asked. She looked down and remembered that her blouse was still open and she was halfway on top of him. She blushed and got off of him.

"I’m sorry, I was just trying to keep you warm." She said. He smirked, but made sure she didn’t see.

"Heero." Relena said.

"Huh." He said.

"Are you scared?" Relena asked. Heero looked at her from the corner of his eye.

"Of what?" He said in a whisper.

"Of Death?" she whispered.

"No, I’m already dead." he said. She didn’t really know what he meant, but went on with the conversation.

"Who killed you, Heero?" Relena asked.

"My father." He said.

"Are you still dying?" She asked trying to feel his pain.

"Yeah." He said and closed his eyes.

"I’ll save you, Heero. Because I think you’re still alive." She smiled. Then she sat up and he did too. She turned towards him and took his hand. She placed it over her heart and then put his hand over his heart.

"My heart beats and so does yours. That means that we are both alive." She said looking into his eyes. He nodded and she smiled again.

"It was your job to protect me in the war and it is my job to protect you now. Do you believe in me?" she asked. He nodded again and she hugged him.

"How will you protect me?" Heero asked.

"I will love you." She said and smiled again.

"Will you stay with me forever, Relena?" Heero asked looking down at Relena.

"Yes, I won’t leave you alone. Heero." She said. Relena was happy that now. Heero knew she would be there for him.

"Heero, why does your father do this to you?" Relena asked.

"I killed my mother." Heero said sadly.

"How? You wouldn’t do anything like that." Relena said and looked at him.

"I don’t know," He said and looked away from her eyes. She put her hand on his cheek and he still looked away.

"Heero, what’s wrong?" She said. He still looked away.

"I won’t hurt you, Heero. Don’t you believe me?" She said, then he looked down.

Just then she realized he wasn’t hugging her when she was hugging him.

"Relena, why do you love me?" Heero asked in a whisper.

"I… I… love you, because of you." She said.

"Oh." He said. Relena was worried that she said something wrong.

"Heero, you should go to sleep." Relena said, smiling at him. He looked at her from the corner of his eye and then looked back down. He nodded and lay back down, closing his eyes. She put her lips to his ears,

"Goodnight, my love." She whispered and lay down close to him. But making sure not to make him too uncomfortable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile:

"This is a great idea, to kill my son inside. To burn his soul." He said as he watched what the camera in Heero's room was picking up.

"Why, do you want to hurt him so much?" Jade asked. She was standing behind him, watching him. He turned to face her.

"That's none of your business. You're only here with your prostitutes for the money." He said.

"Right, I won't ask any questions." Jade said and walked out of the room. She closed the door and leaned against. 'We shouldn't be here doing this. It isn't right to break, true love. I could've left when I had the chance, but those girls and their obsession with that boy." She thought. She got away from the door and looked in front of her. ' He's right, we're only here for the money. There is no need to interfere with things out of reach. Those two will fight their own battles.' And she walked to her room.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next Morning:

Relena woke up and saw Heero wasn't there. She sat up on the bed and heard the water running in the bathroom in his room. She sighed and closed her eyes. She opened her eyes, when she heard the bathroom door open. She turned to look and saw Heero standing there. He was wearing a pair of baggy sweatpants, a white T-shirt and a jacket. He walked over to his closet and took out boots. (Not long boots like Milliardo, but boots like hiking boots.) He put them on and then sat on his bed. Someone knocked on the door, which caused Relena to snap out of her trance of looking at Heero. (Sigh; she is always looking at Heero.) Jade walked in. (I know what your thinking, 'oh no' once again she ruins all the moments. Okay I'll stop.)

"Relena, come." Jade said in a kind of nice voice. Relena got up and walked over to Jade. When she got to Jade she turned around and said,

"Bye, Heero." Then turned around and walked out. Tears were stinging her eyes, but she held them in. When they reached a room, Jade opened the door. Relena walked in. It looked like the other rooms, dull. She frowned, then sighed.

"Relena." Jade said and Relena turned around.

"Yes." Relena said.

"Your outfit is in the bathroom."

"Okay." Relena said and sighed again.

"Why…Why don't you just give up. Well at least you, because I think Heero has given up." Jade said looking down. Relena looked at her.

"What do you mean, Jade?" Relena asked nicely.

"I mean, that Heero has lost everything. He has nothing to give you. He can't love you after everything, that was done to him." She said yelling a little.

"But, I will try and help him." Relena said.

"Don't you understand. You're so naïve." Jade said yelling. Relena tried to keep her temper down.

"You think that you were treated badly. When Heero's father, Odin touched your private places and made you feel like dirt. Well, Heero has been treated worst then that. He has been raped about every day of the week. And drugged the same amount of time. He's lost. No one can save him, not even you. He is Dead and when someone is dead the can't be brought back to life." Jade said. Tears were falling down her cheeks as she said this.

"But, how can you be, Dead while Living." Relena asked, holding back her tears.

"When, you can't feel. You're dead, just because people can see you, doesn't mean you living. Living in your body but not in your soul. That is when you are dead." Jade said as she looked back down.

"I will not listen to what you say about, Heero. I think there is still some life, living in him and I will help him become whole again. Even though I know what you say is true. It isn't true about Heero. But thank you for telling me. I will never give up, I'll fight for Heero." She said with sincerity in her voice. Jade looked up and nodded then left the room. 'She can never save him.' Jade thought and wiped her eyes. She sighed and walked away again.

Relena went in the bathroom and took a shower. 'Maybe what Jade said is right.' she thought. She went deep into thought and put her hand to her chin. 'But I can't give up on Heero. He needs me and I need him.' She thought and smiled. When she was finished taking a bath, she picked up her clothes. The clothes were slutty and she didn't want to wear them, but she had to wear something. She put it on and it was the tightest not to mention skimpiest outfit she ever wore. It was a tight tube top with strings tying it together on each side. So you could see the side of her body and it was a light green. Then there was a mini skirt with two slits on the side and it was also tight, it was a tint darker green then the tube top. It came with a shall, that was tight and didn't cover much. It was also light green. They also gave her boots that weren't tall; it stopped at her calf, which was light green. She looked at herself in the mirror and frowned. She lay down on her bed and decided to take a nap, since there was nothing else to do.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Jade." Heero's father, Odin, said.

"Yes, sir." Jade said. He chuckled evilly.

"Get Relena and Heero in here. I would like to speak to them." He said.

"Yes, I will." Jade said and left to get them. Jade was walking to get Relena when the girl with blonde hair, Melody, came behind her.

"Ms. Jade, where are ya goin'?" Melody asked. (She was the girl in chapter 1, who brought Heero in. Remember.)

"That is none of you business, prostitute." Jade said, closing her eyes. Melody giggled,

" I just wanted to get to know Heero better. You know what I mean." She said, smiling seductively.

"You don't understand anything you little prostitute. You don't understand that you are hurting him." Jade said stopping in the hallway.

"Who cares what I understand. All I understand is that he's cute, he has a good body and…" Melody said crossing her arms, but was cut off by Jade.

"And he he's in love with that girl, you saw the other day. Are you aware of the damage we've done to him? We could stop this game that we started and let him be human or we could treat him like a toy. He's only 17 and we are 20 or older." Jade said with anger in her voice.

"Sorry, miss Jade. But I've never been loved, so I don't care. I like this game and I won't stop playing. I guess you have something to do, so I will leave you alone. But Mr. Odin said for to give Heero a shot. So I'll do that now." Melody said and walked to Heero's room.

"Stupid, prostitute. Why did I go through with this?" Jade thought and opened the door to Relena's room. Relena was sleeping on her bed and Jade walked over to her. She put her hands on her shoulders and shook her.

"Relena, wake up." She said in a low voice. Relena slowly opened her eyes and then when she had her eyes fully open she said,

"Huh."

"Relena. Heero's father wants to see Heero and yourself." Jade said. Relena nodded and got up. Jade walked with Relena to Heero's room. Jade opened the door and saw Melody trying to make Heero get up.

"Get up, Boy." Melody said, rudely.

"What's wrong, Melody?" Jade asked.

"I gave him a shot and told him that he had to see his father. Now he won't go." Melody said and pouted. Relena walked in and saw Heero sitting on his bed, with his head in his hands.

"Heero." Relena said, lightly. He stood up with his head down. He walked over to Relena and she held out her hand. He looked into her eyes and she smiled. He looked back at her hand and then put his hand out. She gently held his hand in hers and they walked out the door. Jade walked by their side and Melody walked by Jade.

"I see what you mean, Ms. Jade. I see." Melody whispered as she stared at Heero and Relena walk together in silence. They reached the door that they were meeting Heero's father and walked in. They saw him standing in front of a big chair. He stood up tall and watched them walk in. He frowned at the sight of Heero and Relena holding hands. They stopped in front of him. He stared at Heero and Relena only.

"Jade, Melody. I want you to leave." He said.

"Yes sir." They said in unison and walked out. He walked in front of Heero and Relena. Then he frowned.

"Let go of my son's hand, Relena." He said. Relena shook her head and put her arms around his neck. He looked at her getting even angrier. She looked at Heero's father from the corner of her eye.

"You little. What are you trying to do?" He said, burning with fury.

"I showing Heero, that he is loved by me. I'm not trying, I'm doing it." Relena said calmly. Holding Heero a little tighter.

"Why are you doing this?" He said.

"Because I love him." She said. He smirked and then laughed.

"You're so stupid, princess. You're not going to win this game. You're playing a game your not good at. My son doesn't even love you. Why do you think when you hug him, he doesn't hug back? But even if he does, I'll cheat and make this hell for both of you." He said with a smirk on his face. Relena frowned, immediately gaining anger and hatred up to her head. She let go of Heero and faced his father.

"Why aren't you hugging him anymore? Have you realized the truth?" Heero's father said, finding the whole situation. Relena looked at him, with only hate and anger burning through her usually peaceful veins. 'Forgive me, for what I'm about to say.' She thought to herself.

"I hope you rot in hell, forever. You deserve to for what you've done. I hate you. I hate you with my whole heart. I wish I could kill you so much!" Relena said clenching her fists. She didn't want to say that, but she had to let it out. Heero's father's smirk turned into a frown and his eyes looked shocked. Heero looked at Relena shocked too. He never heard Relena ever say something so mean to anyone. 'How could she say that to me? No one has ever said that to me, not even my son after I've done so many bad things to him. I'll make her pay. She will be the one rotting in hell.' Heero's father thought. Relena sighed and stood there waiting for the worst to happen to her.

"How dare you! How dare you say that to me." Heero's father yelled.

"Don't you feel bad for what you've done? You've been hurting your son and he's done nothing to you. He probably loves you and that's why he hasn't killed you yet. You're his father how could you treat like this?" Relena said with nothing, but rage in her voice.

"How could he love me? He doesn't know what love is. Anyway, stop putting your naïve little ideas in my head. I will tell you why I brought you hear know." He smirked again.

"I'm sorry, Heero. I tried." Relena whispered as she turned to face Heero. He looked at her a little shocked and nodded. She stood next to him again and faced Heero's father.

"Okay, children. I've only been playing with you. Now the fun begins." Heero's father started. He chuckled evilly, then opened his eyes.

"You've been playing with fire and now it is time that you burn. I've decided to let Relena, since she loves my son so much, take the leading role or the top role. And Heero will get the bottom role. First, we will start by letting you, Relena rape Heero." Heero's father said and chuckled. Relena looked shocked, like she saw the worst thing in the world.

"No, never. I'll never do that to Heero." Relena said.

"Why I thought you loved him? Don't you want to have children with him? Don't you want Heero to be inside of you?" Heero's father said in an amused voice. Relena couldn't say anything; she wanted to have children with Heero. But not this way, she didn't know what to say.

"No, I don't want to hurt Relena." Heero said, in a whisper, but loud enough to hear. Relena looked at Heero. It looked at first that Relena was fighting for Heero, but she guessed he wasn't dead, yet.

"How are you going to stop me, Heero? You've already been in this situation, of being toyed with by other people. But out of all those times, never cried out or even said anything. But now that Relena is going to get hurt, you decide to talk. You can't do anything to stop it. I've had you in check, since you were born. Do you love Relena, is that why you decided that you want to protect her. So she could feel happy, like you could never feel? She could never feel happy, when you are in her life. Remember Heero, she's to good for you." Heero's father said. Heero looked down and Relena looked at him.

"Heero. Don't listen to him, he's lying to you." Relena whispered.

"Give up, princess. He knows it is all true." Heero's father said. Just then, Jade walked in with a gun. The pointed to Heero's father's head. She had a frown planted on her face and she had tears gleaming in her eyes.

"No. I think you should give up. This has to end, once and for all. Sir." Jade said, as Heero's father looked at her shocked.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A/N: Well, pretty good cliffhanger. Just, when it got good. I would never hurt Heero and Relena that bad. Making Relena rape Heero. That is just too harsh. Well this was a long chapter, was it worth the wait. I hope it was, because I spent two days writing it. So I'll continue, but a reminder. Even when Heero and Relena get out of the place they're in now. I'm still going have to put them together, so expect lots of chapters. Or, maybe just two, who knows. JA NE! (Thank you RELENA 7272, for telling me, what that means.)
