Part 6

 

 

Colony L4: Winner Mansion

 

Quatre sipped his tea, he saw Wufei sitting patiently as they waited for Sally Po in Quatre’s office.

Finally Sally arrived and Quatre stood up while Wufei remained seated.

"How are they?" Quatre asked.

"They’re both fine and luckily they were both not seriously hurt. They should be up and about in two days." Sally said.

Quatre sighed and caught Wufei sighing as well.

Suddenly, they heard the door open slowly to reveal Trowa bearly standing there. His bandages staining with his blood.

"Trowa? You’re not suppose to be up. Let’s take you back to bed." Quatre said.

"Where is she? Is she alright?" Trowa asked above a whisper.

"She’s fine. She just needs to rest. Just like you do." Sally said.

"What about Catherine?" Trowa asked.

"She’s fine too. She knows you’re here, so don’t worry." Quatre told him.

Sally and Quatre helped Trowa back to his bed.

The next day

 

Duo and Hilde arrived to visit Trowa and Relena.

Hilde spent the whole afternoon with Relena, while Trowa, Duo and Quatre talked about the past.

"So, when’s Heero comin?" Duo asked.

"He said as soon as he can. Apparently, he’s still working on that investigation. You should know Duo, you were on that mission as well." Quatre said.

"Well, he never told me if he was coming or not, so that’s why I’m asking you two. Geez, I was just asking." Duo said.

"He should be here." Trowa said.

"Yes he should." Quatre agreed.

"Are you serious? After the way Wufei and I found you struggling to get to Relena. I doubt you want Heero here with her." Duo said.

Trowa remained silent while Quatre threw Duo a hard cold stare.

"Well, I gotta be going now. See you later." Duo said and bolted out of the mansion along with Hilde waving good-bye at Relena.

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

That evening

 

 

Relena, Trowa and Quatre sat down for dinner.

"Miss Relena, how do you feel?" Quatre asked, wanting to make a conversation.

"Better." Relena said without a smile. Trowa noticed this and made a mental note.

After dinner Relena went upstairs to her temporary room. And Quatre stayed in his office.

Trowa decided to talk to Relena privately.

Trowa knocked at her door.

"Who is it?" Relena asked through the door.

"Trowa."

She opened the door and let him in.

"How are you?" Trowa asked.

"Better." Relena said. "Is Heero coming?"

"When he has time." Trowa said.

Relena smiled. "Yes, of course, when he has time."

Trowa noticed the medicine and needles at her side drawer. Relena saw his eyes stare at the medicine and answered his question.

"It’s my medication. I get seizures due to the weakening of the drug HE gave me."

"What will you do when Heero comes?" Trowa asked suddenly.

"It depends on him." She said.

Then she kissed Trowa on the cheek and said with a smile.

"Goodnight and thank you."

Trowa left her room, smiling.

 

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

Four days later at the Winner Mansion

 

One of Quatre’s servants opened the door to reveal Heero Yuy standing there.

Heero didn’t even bother to say hello, he walked straight upstairs and headed towards Relena’s room. He didn’t knock, he just opened the door to find Relena standing there, smiling. For she had seen him coming towards the mansion from the window.

He walked up to her and took her into his arms. Their hug lasting for what it seemed forever.

"Relena" He whispered into her ear.

"Heero."

"Relena, I’ll make sure I get them for doing this to you. I don’t care how long this takes. I will get them." Heero said.

Relena was beginning to loose her smile.

"I can’t stand watching you this way. It’s like you’re an empty shell………….." Heero didn’t continue for at that moment Relena pushed him away, she smiled at him and left Heero alone in the room.

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

Later that day

 

Quatre was serving Heero tea. Trowa was no longer at the mansion.

"Where’s Trowa?" Heero asked Quatre.

"He left soon after you arrived."

"What did Sally say about Relena’s condition?" Heero asked.

"She gets seizures once in awhile due to the drug still fading away and Relena says she feels much better now."

"Feels better now?" Heero asked.

"Well, of course. She’s mentally stable now."

Heero stood up.

"Heero didn’t you already go see Relena? Quatre asked.

Heero bolted upstairs to Relena’s room, only to find it empty, then he ran to Trowa’s room and found the same results. Heero’s fist clenched.

Quatre stood behind Heero.

"They’re gone."

"Who’s gone?" Quatre asked.

"Relena and Trowa."

Quatre became quiet.

They both knew Trowa would be difficult to find.

Heero looked at the window like he did those years he had lived with Relena in her cottage.

Relena, why? Why did you leave? Heero thought.
