Fall Like Rain

Part One: Kidnapped 

@>~~ @>~~ @>~~ @>~~ @>~~ @>~~ @>~~ @>~~ @>~~ @>~~ @>~~ @>~~ @>~~ @>~~

It was dark as night, but certainly not silent. The rain poured down. Each little droplets of life hitting the ground. It hadn’t rained like this since who knows when. It could be counted as mother Earth crying. Crying for peace. Just crying. God, they look so much like tears. Tears that could flood a river. In her case, so much could flood an ocean. She had cried so much. Ever since he left. She couldn’t balm. There was a war to be fought, who better to use than the Perfect Solider? 

He’s a machine, a robot doing what his programming telling him to do. She had tried so hard to change that, and yet, she failed. She always fails. She failed to gain his heart, she failed to establish peace, and she even failed to see that peace was just another result of war. Whenever the war may end. 

It’s funny how everything reminded her of him. How every time she sees a gun in the hand of one of her bodyguards she would be reminded of him. Every time she goes to the mall and see a green top or black spandex, she would feel her eyes water. 

She was a lovesick puppy stalking to get attention. Attention that would break her heart.  

She felt her eyes getting watery again. No, I will not cry. No matter how hard she fought to control her feelings, she could not. A single tear slid off her cheeks, it dropped on the carpet. And her thoughts wandered back to him, like they always did. 

He had this emotionless face, always as hard as rock. But he had these beautiful Prussian blue eyes, the only thing that betrayed him of emotion. For some odd reason, she was the only person that could see them. As in really see inside of those emotion walls. God, she loved those eyes. 

More tears. But she made no move to wipe those away.  

She turned to the window watching the rain. She let her fingers touch the glass. They were cold, ice cold. Like his eyes. 

Stop it. He left. He’s gone. Forever. He’s not coming back. You need to move on.

  And still the tears came. She collapsed on her bed, life leaking out of her eyes. She clutched the only present he ever gave her, the teddy bear. 

And now, she regrets ripping the note in half. Because it said the three words she wanted to hear most.  She would never hear them.  

She felt a sudden presence in the room. She turned aroud and caught a flash of red. Suddenly her head bursted out in pain, than everything went black.

“Hello Mrs. Relena. How nice to see you.” 

The voice woke her up. Colors swarm in her vision. Her head hurt, a lot. Slowly she focused. It was a big room, brightly light. Nicely furnished, with fashionable taste. She was lying on a queen sized canopy bed.   Guards with guns stood off to the side.  

What am I doing here?

Her question would soon be answered.  A man in his 40’s sat in a cozy big, stuff armchair, He looked comfortable. Black hair and black eyes, he looked like an older version of Wufei.  

“I said hello Ms. Relena. Are you not going to answer me?” It was the man that spoke, clearly he was the leader. 

“Hello. May I ask who you are?” She was scared, but she still kept to her manner. 

“How rude of me. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Marshall. I prefer to be called Marsh. I have no intension of harming you. I simply want information. I just want to know all about the Gundam Polit 01, Heero Yuy. I believe you know him well,” he said. 

Relena felt panicked. She hadn’t seen Heero in over a year. But she was the one that knew him the best. She could not give them any information at all. Heero must not be hurt. 

“I’m sorry. But I haven’t seen him in over a year. I don’t know him that well at all. He and I are total opposites. I just simply know that he exists.” 

“I was afaried you were going to say that. Tomorrow we shall continue with Plan B. If you aren’t going to cooperate, we’ll make you cooperate.”  He gave a nasty sneer, he's eyes suddenly dark, called out to the guards and turned to leave.  But before his body was out the door, he turned and said, “I’ll see what you’ll say tomorrow Ms. Relena.” 

He shut the door with a loud BANG! 

Relena's breathing suddenly became heavy. The tears threatened to come. And her mind went back to Heero.

They want Heero. They want Heero. No. No. No. I must not let them have him.

By now, lots of tears fell. Snobs wrecked her body.  Her fist collided with the wall, hard. She didn’t care about her stupid fist right now.

She cared about Heero. Her Heero. They can have her.

Just don’t touch him. Leave him alone.

She suddenly felt so very tired. She wanted to sleep, to forget this happened, that this was just a nightmare. She wanted to wake up safe in Heero's arms. But somehoe she knew this was not a dream.

The Vice princess collasped on the bed.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE WAS KIDNAPPED?" Millardo yelled to one of Relena's bodyguards.

"Sir," the guard begun nervously, "The sheets were found wrickled and there were water around them. It had salt in it, and was presumed to be tears, There was a perfectly round hole in the window. And the carpet was wet from the rain. We estimate they took her around 11 sir."

"I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO PROTECT HER! GET OUT OF HERE! YOUR FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Yes sir."

The gaurd left.

Millardo turned to face the G-boys and co. Everybody was here expect Heero. Hilde had her face in Duo's shoulder cying. Everybody else had very grim faces or was about to cry.

"Not a clue. Not one piece of evidence. These guys are good. We have no idea where they are, or what they want. But we can probably guess that they want to kill Relena. All of us looked at every lead. Nothing. Zero. Nada," said a very worried Noin.

When Hilde heard this she began to cry more.

"Milliardo you know what this means, don't you?" said Noin.

"No."

Noin gave an annoyed face, because Milliardo did know what this meant. He just won't admit it.

"We have to contact Heero."

"No! I will not have him have anything to do with my sister!"

"This is the ONLY way! We have NO lead. Nothing! I said that already! Heero is the only one that can possibly find her!"

"No!"

Noin stayed slient. But she went to the video phone and called up Heero.

"What do you want?" a very annoyed Heero said when he was wokened from his sleep.

"Heero, Relena's been kidnapped," said Noin.

He suddenly became very alert and there might have been a flash of concern in this blue eyes.

But it disspeared as soon as it appeared.

"Yeah."

"We need your help. We have no leads at all." And Noin started to explain what happened while a very angry Milliardo was seen in the background. And Duo wasn't smirking or cracking awful jokes, plus Hilde had calmed down a bit.

"Do you accept?"

"Mission accepted."
