~*The Common Cold*~
Chapter One

He didn?t want to wake up. He wanted to stay in the darkness, stay hidden in his body. He wanted the darkness to engulf him, making him invisible to everyone else. But that light; that bright light beckoned him to open his eyes.

Slowly he did; everything just a blur at first. Blinking he felt dizzy, his stomach felt like it was tumbling. It seemed like he was out of his own body, every movement he made was foreign to him. He knew that something was wrong with him. What it was he was not sure of yet. The only thing he did know was what to do to make sure one survived.

He decided to look at his surrounding, even though the small task of moving his head back and forth made him feel worse. He was on a bed with four post on all corners. Above him was a canopy draped with white silk. The sheets that covered him was also white silk. He was able to feel the coolness between his thighs, which he thought was odd. On both sides of the bed was a small night stand. To his left was a desk, a coffee table, and a vanity mirror. Papers were scattered on the desk and the vanity mirror had things that surrounded it that Heero was unable to identify. To his right were two dresser draws with more objects on top of them that Heero still could not identify. Behind the dressers was a balcony, the doors to it closed and locked. The carpet was thick and the color of cream. To his right and far left there were doors, and right in front of him was another door. Heero tried to determine which one would let him out of the room.

Heero knew he needed to get out of that room, he just didn?t have the energy to even move. He tried to get up off the bed to figure out what was wrong with him. Was he injured? Was he drugged? He was about to find out what secrets lied beneath the sheets when he heard someone enter. If he had a gun he would have shot her by now.

The woman who entered looked stern but her eyes held a playful nature. She had on a cream color blouse with ruffles going up and down the buttons. Her just below the knee skirt was the color of lavender, and the shoes that she wore blended into the thick carpet. She looked at Heero with surprise that disappeared almost as fast as it appeared. She walked up to the bed and started to speak.

?Well you?re finally up. My name is Mrs. Anne Marie Johnson. You can either call be Mrs. Johnson or Anne Marie, I do not care which one. I have been instructed to give you anything you need and want during your stay here??

?I want to leave.?

??except for leaving. Now next time let me finish my sentence before you start talking.?

Heero tried to glare at her but it ended up being a look of pain. The task of looking at Mrs. Johnson and sitting half way up was putting too much strain on his already straining head.

?Where the hell am I?? Heero noticed that his voice sounded weak and harsh, no where near giving Mrs. Johnson the fear that he was trying to implicate.

?You are at the Peacecraft Mansion. The lady of the household found you and brought you here to get medical attention.?

Heero had a shock look on his face. ?The shadow I saw. It was her. It was Relena.? He needed to get out of the building and away from Relena. His body may protest, but he was willing to withstand a few moments of pain to get out of the building. But as he started to get up and the pain radiated through his body he noticed something weird under the white sheets.

?Where the hell are my clothes?? Heero tried to make his yell sound deadly, but it only came out as a weak tone.

?They are in the laundry room washed and folded.?

?Give me my clothes now!?

?I?m afraid I cannot do that. Miss Relena is sure that you will try to leave the premises and by the way you are eagered to leave I see that she was right. So you are not to get your clothes back until you have fully recuperated.?

Heero was beginning to become dizzy. I snapped his head back up when he noticed that it was beginning to loll back. He didn?t care if he was naked or if the woman in front of him was saying that he was not well enough to leave, he was going to go.

?I really don?t give a fuck what you or Relena think. I?m leaving this damn place now.?

?I really suggest that you do not do that.?
?And I suggest that you shut the fuck up.?

Heero sat straight up in the bed, and the room started to spin. Heero laid back on the bed. He knew something was wrong, but his head was hurting so much that he couldn?t think and figure it out. It seemed that he was defeated and that he would not be able to leave though that was the only thing that was in his mind right now. He had to solve the next puzzle then.

?What the hell is wrong with me?? Heero said out loud, not intending to have Mrs. Johnson answer him.

Mrs. Johnson looked at him bewildered and astonished. ?You don?t know what is wrong with you??

Heero rolled his eyes. ?Clearly I do not.?

?Well then?? Mrs. Johnson went to the vanity mirror and picked up the hand mirror. She walked back to the bed and placed the mirror right in front of Heero?s face.

?Do you understand now why you can?t leave??

Heero looked at himself. His eyes and nose was red, he was sweating profoundly, and his skin was a light pink color. Farther down there were bruises and cuts, evidence of the reason why he was in the forest in the first place. His appearance explained everything: the sneezing, the coughing, the fatigue, the pain, and why everything kept spinning.

?Now do you understand why you would not last a day out there in your condition??

Heero did. Not only was he badly beaten, he thought in dismay, he was also fucking sick.




A/N: Hope you like Chapter one. I?m not used to chapters so it?s taking me some time to get to the point. I?ll try to speed that along.

Awww, poor Heero! This is really cute so far. I can't wait to see Relena act as his loving nurse.

[HiFreak]

The perfect soldier suffering from a common cold.
Although I feel bad for him I can't help but smile.
