Author's Note: Since seeing the movie Equilibrium it made me inspire to write this story dealing with Heero and Relena if they were stuck in this world that the movie shows. This is a little different world that one GW we all know but please be kind I have tried so hard to write this story
Summary:In the city of Libria where the emotion is forbidden and where the death means to anyone that breaks the rule if the emotions are displayed publicly and where the sense offenders are killed on the spot, one would dare to risk everything when it comes to the love even to loose her own life for it...
Feedbacks: Most welcome but please no hate feedbacks or they would delited be tolerated thank you.

CH:16-The Test Of Loyalty
Yuy?s POV:
She was so close to me ant that moment and it felt so warm and so peaceful. Something that I?ve been missing for so long. I wanted to have her forever here in my arms. Finally when we both pulled away from each other after the kiss was over, I could not help myself to reach over and brush my fingers over her face.
It felt complete when she was here in my arms. A feeling of complete peace that I would not change for anything in a world. Yet, that moment was about to end and when Maxwell came walking fast toward us.
?I have heard the shooting,? he looked down at the dead Sweeper team.? What the hell had happened here??
?A little misunderstanding.? Relena said pulling away from my embrace slightly to pull the dog from her robe that she had kept it way and out of sight.? I am alright.?
Maxwell looked back and forth at each of us and he could guess what had happened here a moment ago.
?I?ll take Relena home,? I said commenting nothing else.
?You can not bring the animal with you back to the city,? he spoke to Relena.
?I am intending to keep it, you like that or not.? Relena spoke and walked away to the parked car where I was awaiting.
?You better put it into a trunk just in the case if someone does see it you might be end up in the trouble.? I told her and she agreed for a first time.
Relena?s POV:
Placing the dog into the trunk at least I knew it was safe and out of sight until we reached the city and I would hide it in my apartment once we pass the guards.
?I do not see a problem in this as long the dog is keeping quiet.? Yuy unlocked a trunk and I placed the animal inside and he closed the lid and we were off.
The guards did not suspect a thing and once back into the city the car came to stop before apartment building. Wrapping the dog in the heavy folds of my robe I carried it up stairs as Yuy followed closely. Once we had reached the door, I quickly unlocked and put the dog inside and closed the door.
Now we stood facing each other in a shadow of a hallway speaking nothing. But that silence was not meant to least for when he touched me with his lips I knew that this was a part of a work that I can not return if I wanted to.
I awoke next morning to the sound of passing car and when I went to the window the see what was really going on I found that I was alone once more. Yuy had left last night after kissing me a second time for a good night.
I let my thoughts to wander back to that moment, but it was broken by a squeal of a pup when brought me back to the reality and I had to feed him quickly. Only I hoped that I would not end up in a trouble because of it. When I came to the work, the things went much different way and with them I tried not to think of seeing Preston again.
?So, my little acolyte,? I heard him speak behind my back.? This it where I do know I would find you.?
Turning around I came face to face with Cleric again. Wanting to smile at him I simply could not reveal this in a public place at all. Afraid that others might suspect the thing we acted professionally in a public place.
?What can I do for you, Cleric?? I kept my voice firm.
?Just checking to see how are you.? Something was slipped into a palm of my hand a note and then I watched him disappear out off a sight once more.
Marquise?s POV:
There was something odd being going on in the Tetragrammaton high office considering the thing dealing with Cleric Yuy and Diplomat Relena. The guards were talking that they had been seen more often than it had should sharing the information that could not reach my words or ears at all.
I did not believe that Relena had a power to read the mind of people but it did not stop me to keep my close eye on her. To do so, I had to have her to go with the Clerics or assuagement when they were given to them to do so. If the rumors were true then she could indeed become one of most powerful people to keep this world alive and keep my position secure.
This was a test to find out just how much this acolyte was loyal to the Father and Libria. Several of assistants gave me a disapproving look when I have told them about my decision.
?But, Sir do you think this is it wise? With all do the respect Sir we all know that diplomats are not fighters to being with, and this only would cause the disaster and Sir, you have to consider this. The Father would not allow this to happen.?
?Do you question the Father?s will?? I spoke sharply back.
?No Sir,?
?Then the decision is final. Send her away to the Sector 7.?
CH:17-Questions
Maxwell?s POV:
I had a bad feeling about this for it would only cause more trouble around if this was about to happen. Relena took it innocently but I could sense that she feared a lot though she did not want to show it. This was the order and she could not go against it. The time to time I would glance at her as we had neared a guard station. She would glance at me her eyes hiding what she was feeling though she was frightened to some point.
When we had arrived, the hell was already on loose. Relena kept to herself and tried to stay passive. We moved down the hallways by the guards and dead bodies and the captain of a team waited for us.
?It seems we had lost them this time, Clerics.? But Relena did not fall for it, and stepped forward her eyes scanning the ground in front of her.
Glancing back at me, she broke into a run Yuy ran after her as guard yelled after them.
?Let them do what they are intending to do.? I told them.
?It is too dangerous.? The guard protested.
?Not with having a Cleric around. They would not dare to attack her.?
The Sweepers broke apart allowing Relena to pass and she stood there still as a stone.
?There,? she said pointing at the hidden door in a wall.
The guards scattered taking the positions ready to shoot. Yuy glanced at her and the two of them shared a look for a moment as captain of a team turned to me.
?What is she doing?? He dared to ask me.
?Tracking down the thoughts of hiding men.?
?She can read the mind, how is it that possible??
?Quiet!? Yuy replied sharply and we stood there watching what Relena was actually doing.
Relena?s expression had not changed. The look in her eyes became more and more distant and she was staring at one spot at the closed door before her. She heard the thoughts perfectly the fear was at the highest level and she knew that they were expecting the death and she would see that happen. The movement came to her side and she turned her head slightly meeting Yuy?s eyes and nodded slowly to him. It was a time for an action and she let him to carry on with the work.
?I am leaving the rest to you,? she told him backing off so that Yuy could come forward.
He nodded silently to her as I approached and she stood next to me and we had to do was to wait.
Relena?s POV:
I did not want to do this at all. The Sweepers were looking oddly at me their faces cold and ready to cause the bloodshed. This was not the way I was trained to do. I did not kill nor I was fighter. My work was to teach and keep the peace around but not fight at all. It was not my call at all. I was not a killer nor I was trained to kill either and yet, Marquise was actually sending me her for what? To test my loyalty to the Father? Or was it for something else that I did not want to do at all. I do have a feeling that he did not trust me at all. For some reason I knew I should not have been here but it was already too late to leave.
Maxwell shifted beside me and I was aware of him watching me and since I?ve came here there was no word that had passed between us, though I still heard his thoughts clearly.
?Don?t do this.? I?ve heard him say though he dared not to say a word.
I wanted to tell him that I was sorry but I could not for it was not the right decision and all I can do was to stand there watching as Yuy unleashed the death.
Yuy?s POV:
What had happened after Relena refused to speak anything and she barely even look at me and once back to the city, she wanted to get out from a car and head straight for her apartment and not even look back at all. Something that had knew had snapped inside of her and she wanted to be left alone for some time.
Still, I wanted to know more about Relena that was known to me at all. I wanted to dig deeper into her past, which meant one thing that I?ve to find out myself. Who ever she was I had to find out more about her origin and the history at fast. When I had returned back to my desk and once the report was done I had nothing else to do but to search more about Relena. When I had typed her information in the database the access was denied. Why was that?
Maxwell?s POV:
Relena did not want to see either of us and I did not blame her at all. She refused even to have anything dealing with Clerics any longer. Assuming her duties as diplomat she blocked anyone that was not a part of what she was doing. Yuy has blamed me for having Relena to be this stubborn but I could not blame her for she was a part of my blood and what I?ve bee though through a distant relation. One thing for sure I knew that Relena had the three different bloodlines inside of her veins.
Her own mother has been descendant of both Irish and English bloodline, but as for her father he would remain the mystery. As matter of a fact, there was no information that this man might be like he had not even existed. One thing for sure was that she had his blue eyes for her mother was dark eyed and the same was for her hair too, nothing but pretty face that she had and her mother?s smile.
?What do you know about Relena?s life?? Yuy asked me one day.
?Why do you ask me that? You should ask her instead.? I knew it would come to this.? What did you do this time to her??
He gave me a blank look that revealed nothing at all, but I knew that he was hiding something.
?Heero, woman?s heart is not a toy to play with and you cane only make it worse and not even seeing what are you doing that might be right or wrong thing to do. You hurt her once and do not expect that she would forgive you.?
?I did nothing to her. She does not want to return any of my calls and keeps avoiding me for some reason. It seems it has to do something with the mission at Sector7.?
?Relena is a diplomat and she is not a fighter nor she does believe in a violence. Diplomats live by a code and they spend their lives in a meditation and peace. She is in a stage to clear herself for a horror that she had to see and since it was not of what she was raised by her believes.?
?Why did the Father then allow this to happen? The Diplomats are the holly part of this society and they should remain that way, but I do have a feeling that someone had done this just to cause the reaction around. I had to find out what is it really going on.? Yuy stood up and left quickly.
Yuy?s POV:
The truth has to come forward and I had to find out what was really going on. If my memory serves me well the I know that diplomats were never considering a fighting elite at all. There has to be a reason why Relena has been sent to witness the hell at the Sector7. I have to find out the reason behind the whole thing and I had to find out why was this done? Marquise has to know about this.
?I don?t quite follow your logic, Cleric.? Marquise?s voice was firm as he spoke.
?With all do the respect, Sir I still do not understand why Diplomat has been sent to the Sector7 to view the bloodshed when it is after all against their code.?
?Yes, but, Cleric, given the circumstances, the Father has decreed that Acolytes are a part of holly position of our great society and they should be treated with a respect, but it seems that something had to be done and sometimes, Diplomat is forced to do what is it necessary to keep the peace."
?Even to be sent away and be forced to watch the bloodshed. But it?s counter to law and it has been told that they, the Diplomats should not be asked to perform a such task.? Still I could not agree on this.? But, you?re a member of the Council if??
?It is not a will of Council, it is will of Father and he is law.? The words cut me short.? You must understand, Yuy, that while you and even I may not always agree with it, it is not the message that is it important, it is out obedience to it. Father?s will. Call it faith. You have it, I assume.?
?Yes I have it.?
?Then you should not bother with this question any longer. If the Father wanted this to happen this had to be done and we can not do anything about it. Consider that it was for a greater good and for sure Diplomats understand that as the part of their spiritual lives. Diplomats and Clerics are the two different worlds that should not mix.?
?I understand that, Sir.?
?Good the there is it nothing more to say about this subject.?
When the screen went blank I knew that it was far from over and now I had to find out was behind all of this before it is too late.
