I do not own Gundam Wing.

Blind Death

Part 15

Heero’s vision was going blurry due to the gunshots.

He wanted to desperately kill the man that stood in front of him.

"You were like a father to her." Heero managed to whisper.

"And I loved her like a daughter. She was my precious dove. My lovely queen. But you bastards destroyed her. It’s all your fault!" Pagan said.

Heero felt himself getting weaker.

Was he dying?

Maybe

He wanted to die.

He wanted to be with Relena.

Heero looked at the floor.

He could see his blood staining the cement floor with boldness.

Heero

He could hear her say.

You are my hope.

Heero’s eyes widen.

You give me hope, Heero.

He couldn’t die.

Not like this.

Not by the hands of Relena’s murderer.

He needed to live.

For Relena.

He was her hope.

He gave her hope.

He couldn’t disappoint her.

No matter how much it pained him, he needed to live for her.

For his mistakes.

For her mistakes.

To redeem himself.

Heero looked at Pagan.

Did he have time to save himself before Pagan pulled the trigger pointing at his forehead.

Did he?

No, Pagan’s finger was already twitching.

He was too late.

He wouldn’t make it.

He was going to die.

Just like Relena.

He had failed her once again.

The sound of the bullet hitting matter filled the room.

Heero saw that it wasn’t Pagan’s gun that had fired.

He saw Pagan fall to the floor.

He was still alive.

But he had a nasty gunshot wound to his stomach.

At the corner of his eye he could see a figure leaning on a wall.

He couldn’t tell who it was.

The figure moved slowly towards him.

He seemed to be limping.

Who was it?

Heero could still see Pagan stirring.

Finally Heero saw the figure’s shoes in the shimmer of the light.

They were covered in blood and dirt.

Soon the figure was revealed.

It was Wufei.

Though he was severely injured he still managed to stand up.

Wufei neared Pagan’s twitching body.

Pagan looked up at the face who had shot him.

"It can’t be. I killed you." Pagan whimpered.

Wufei remained quiet.

"But how did you know?" Pagan begged.

"Pink"

Heero stood up and turned to see Wufei’s face.

"I saw the color of the car that hit me. It was pink. The only car with that color is Relena’s limo. Which you drive."

Pagan gulped.

Wufei was about to pull the trigger when Heero stopped him.

Wufei glared at Heero with anger.

"Relena’s way would be to let you live." Heero began.

Pagan started to look relieve.

Wufei began to protest when once again Heero stopped him.

"But Relena’s dead."

Pagan’s eyes widened with fear.

"There are only a few who know of Relena’s past."

Pagan began to back away from the two ex Gundam Pilots.

"Nobody needs to know of Relena’s secrets. Not even you."

Pagan hit the back wall. There was no near exit. He felt tears coming out of his eyes.

"You will die with Relena’s dark pain." Heero said.

Heero stood back and watched Wufei pull the trigger.

Heero saw Pagan’s body react to the gunshot.

He saw Pagan’s blood spill on the floor.

Was it truly over now?

Were there any more secrets of Relena’s life?

He hoped not.

He hoped that it was over.

Heero’s vision blurred again and he felt himself falling to the ground.

He slumped on the cold bloody floor and felt himself losing consciousness.

"Relena" He gently whispered before the night took him away.
