“She’s here.”  The silver-haired girl led the five boys down the dark alley.  She had her hair put up in a high braided ponytail.  Her wings had disappeared with the help of her will.  She wore a silver halter-top, her back bare so that it won’t rip the cloth when she summoned her wings back.  She wore mini spandex shorts, so her long legs showed.  She wore running shoes without socks.  Her older brother, for the choice of clothes, had reprimanded her, but she ignored it and wore what she wanted.  Heero, after one look at her, gave the other males a warning glare, telling them that she was his.  Of course, Relena didn’t see that, being too preoccupied with her own thoughts to take notice.  She hadn’t told them what vision made her cry out, which made Heero frustrated.  But she felt that it was something only she should know.  She had the feeling that she knew who she saw in her vision, and sensed that he wanted her.  She had mixed emotions about her vision; she both feared and yearned for the dark angel.  This scared her.  She wished she could tell Heero, but she didn’t want him to feel jealous.  Two years ago she had told him of her feelings.  He hadn’t told her what he felt for her, but she saw in his eyes his feelings.  He didn’t realize that his eyes were windows to his soul, but she did, and she was content for now.  So many things were standing between them, and she could wait.  She treasured what the two had done during the war, and she let him go so that he could regain what he lost: himself.  They were young, and their lives were long.  They would meet again, she was sure of it.

Now, though, she was afraid for him.  Whoever the dark angel was, he would have to contend with her brother and Heero.  She didn’t want the two men she loves get hurt because of her.  So she will suffer through this alone.  She had to do this by herself.  For their sakes and for the sake of the others, too.

The dark alley began to get narrow.  The six of them began to form into twos, with Relena and Heero leading the way.  Relena continue to lead them down the dark alley, until it turned into a dead end.  Before the others could say a word, Relena held out her hand on the wall.  A hole appeared right in the middle, and she stepped in.  Heero followed quickly after her, after recovering from his surprise.  The others soon followed suit.  The hole disappeared right after they walked through.  Darkness surrounded them.  Suddenly, a light appeared, one that Relena made with her own powers.  Unerringly, she led them onward, following her instincts.

They had walked through the dark for a couple of yards when a voice stopped them.  “Who goes here?”

It was female, young and frightened.  Relena didn’t hesitate.  She used her powers to shine her light brighter until the darkness was gone and they saw the girl.  She was about their age, with blonde locks plastered to her face with her sweat.  Hazel eyes shone at them, squinting from the sudden light.  She was pale and malnourished.  Her clothes were tattered and in rags.  They hung like sack clothes upon her figure.

The girl’s eyes landed on the tall boy of the group.  She gasped.  “No-name.”

No-name, or Trowa, as he was now called, stared right back at his past.  He couldn’t believe that the girl in front of them was the same girl that he had left behind so many years ago.  She was different, the anguish of her ordeals giving her more weight upon her slender shoulders.  He knew then that he would do anything to bring her back to the girl that he knew she could be, if she had been given the chance.  He took a step forward, but Relena motioned for him to stop.

Relena gracefully went to the scared girl.  She stopped a few feet in front of her.  She went down on her knees and held out her hand.  “Midii.”

Midii tore her gaze away from the boy that she had known so long ago and turned it at the blonde girl.  They stared at each other for a long time.  Then, hesitantly, she put her hand out for Relena to take.  Without a word, the two got on their feet.  Relena led her to the boys.

“Midii, let me introduce you to some people who will help us.”  She began to point out each one.  “That is Wufei Chang.  The blonde is Quatre Raberba Winner.  The braided one is Duo Maxwell.  The other boy goes by Heero Yuy.”  She finally reached the last boy.  “Last but not least, your No-name.  We know him as Trowa Barton, but he is really Triton Bloom, younger brother of Catherine Bloom, his older sister.”  She paused for a moment.  “You met her once, right Midii?”

Midii frowned, never taking her gaze away from the only familiar person among the group.  “Yes.  She gave me shelter once, when she and the circus where at the L3 colony.  She was nice to me.”  She took a deep breath.  “How do you know all this stuff?”

Relena smiled sadly.  “I too was one of the people who they experimented upon, Midii.”

Midii grimaced.  “So their twisted ideals got you, Vice Foreign Minister Darlian.”  She smiled sadly.  “They won’t stop at nothing, huh?”

Relena shook her head.  “No they won’t.”  She turned to Heero.  “We got to go.  We have to leave before they found us.  We still have to rescue Meiran.”  She looked at Midii.  “You will help us, right Midii?”

Midii nodded her head.  “You can’t stop me.”

Relena smiled and began to lead them back to the way they came.  Midii walked right beside her, the boys behind them.  The inner turmoil was not over, that was for sure.

 

The dark angel waited impatiently for the time that he could finally materialize and possess the white angel.  He had lain dormant for a long time.  The potion that he needed to free himself was useless, except that it loosened the bonds within his body, and hers.  He chuckled as he thought of the shock that the news would be on the people.  If they ever found out, that is.

“Dear one, I’ll be free.  And then, I’ll be with you, just as I was meant to be.  Together again.  Forever.”
