99 Ways Contests - Through It All
By: Samu-chan
Type: Relena x Yuki (Crossover)
Warnings: Slight language
Genre: Angst/Romance
A/N: I read the contest rules, and my brain immediately went to work. Though I love 1xR pairings, I've never been able to really write on and stay within character to Heero. Since I'm so into Kyoru, I decided to give the ever handsome Yuki a chance for love as well. ^^ At the most, including all this extra writting, the entry is about 1400 words. Since I'm not exactly sure if I did this right, I can always edit it too.

Through It All -Relena's Pov

I don't think it was entirely shock. I mean, it was just like Heero to go missing and not say anything about it. 'But still' ... after all we had been through, to have him leave without a good-bye hurt. Quatre and the others did their best to comfort me, though I did my best to hold in my disappointment. I guess this time, despite my love for Heero, I finally gave into the fact that no matter how much I loved him, he would always be a solider first. Missions were his thing, as politics was mine.

Maybe that was one reason we fit so well together. Yuki and I. He had a similar heart ache. The one he loved, had chosen someone else. Therefore, he didn't have anyone either. Trowa knew the Sohma family, and I guess Catherine had talked him into setting us up on a blind date. It took a lot of pushing and shoving on Hilde's part just for me to get changed. I wasn't exactly sure if I was ready for this yet. But the date had been set, and I did promise to go. It was only one date right?

Well, that one date, turned out to be more of a surprise than anything. First of all, Yuki just looked different from everyone else. He was handsome no doubt, with metal gray hair that made his pure violet eyes stand out. He wasn't much older than I was, and I guess we both were a bit nervous. But one thing led to another, and before I knew it, I was deep into conversation with him. About everything ... even Heero. He told me of his love too. Rather sad that such a kind hearted person could go through such a thing.

That date, it wasn't over quite yet though. After dinner, we went on a walk. It was a beautiful evening, walking through the park eating ice cream. It was one of those ... dream dates I suppose. He even walked me to my door. I was half expecting his 'act' to drop and try and kiss me, but he didn't. So I reached out to hug him. That was the first time anything on the date had gone wrong. I watched smoke clear slowly, as I stared down at a mouse, sitting on what clothing Yuki had worn.

I guess I passed out. The next thing I remember was waking up on the couch in my house, Yuki sitting directly across from me. I didn't know what to say. I had seen him change into a rat ... 'literally'. That wasn't what I thought I'd see when I thought is 'act' would drop. I suppose he understood why I wasn't saying anything, and decided to tell me about it anyway. And the more I heard, the worse I felt for him. He couldn't just lose someone and go off to find someone new like I could.

His curse wouldn't allow it. I simply sat there listening to him, as he stared at the floor ahead of him. I guessed I'd find it hard to find someone to love, if every time I held them, I changed into an animal. What I did next was hard, but he needed a friend. Someone more than family. I told him I'd like to see him again. This time, I promised not to hug him. It worked, and I got a laugh out of him. He said I didn't have to be so nice to him, so I simply replied... " I want to."

From there, we just became tighter. The dates turned into more of a friendly gathering. Neither of us seemed to mind. When something happened, we were there for each other. Like when Akito finally found out that Yuki had yet another friend outside the Sohma house. He gave him quite a beating. I felt guilty. He was beat up over me. So I did the only thing I could ... I took care of him. Yuki again, insisted I didn't need to be so nice to him, so I again replied ... "I want to."

Things went pretty smoothly after that. We remained friends, taking care of each other. I realized how attached I had become to Yuki. I guess it had grown right under my nose. My love for him. It had grown from purely friends to something more in a little over a year. Only problem was, I didn't know if Yuki even remotely felt the same way. I felt stuck again. I was afraid I would lose him too, just like I had 'lost' Heero. The biggest step was yet to come.

Despite Yuki's experience in fighting, I certainly couldn't have expected him to fight off all three men. We decided to go on one of our walks. Through the park that we usually took at night. I got off easy. A gash across my stomach, and bump on my head. Yuki ... he was stabbed in the chest repeatedly. Though they were able to save him, he still fell into a coma. As soon as the doctors let me, I stayed by his side. This was one thing I couldn't help him with.

We were going on our second week after the attack. Yuki still hadn't awoken from the coma. Hell, he hadn't even stirred. I was so scared for him. My mind kept coming back to the fact that I may never speak to him again. It would ruin me completely this time. The doctor said to talk to him, that he could still hear us. Whether he could process anything was a different story. Even after two weeks, I didn't even know where to start. So, I let out the first thing to come to mind. "I love you."

The next few hours were hazy. I saw just about everyone. Doctors, Trowa and the others, even Yuki's older brother Ayame. Sleep finally claimed me again, for another restless hour of sleep. My hand still clinging to his tightly. Next thing I hear, is my name being called. I opened my eyes to meet violet. It was hard enough for me not to hug him, but I couldn't help but let out a squeal of delight. He simply smiles at me, and asks me what happened. Same old Yuki.

After a few more days in the hospital, he was released. I think he was as pleased to be out of there as I was. The first thing we did. Take a walk. Not through the park, just to my house. I had agreed to let Yuki stay there until he was completely recovered. He just had to get a few things of his own. I refused to let him go. He gave me a dashing smile, asking me sweetly if I could get his stuff then. I eyed him suspiciously, but agreed. How could I resist that smile of his anyway?

So I made my trip Shigure's house quick. It was getting dark and it looked like it was going to rain. What I got when I reached home though ... was something unexpected. I couldn't find him. Yuki wasn't in his room, nor was he on the couch. I panicked. I swore this guy was going to give me a heart attack. I made my way to the dining room to get the phone. I stopped short in the doorway. Yuki stood before me, in a dark room only light by candles.

He looked even more handsome in candle light. I looked passed him, at the table. Yuki admitted he was never a good cook, so I guessed he must have ordered something while at the hospital, then sent me out before it could arrive. I looked back up at him, dumbfound.He held out a small black box and opened it. The most beautiful ring sat inside. I felt my body go weak, and my eyes fill with tears as I finally looked up at him. He read my mind just like he always did. "Yeah ... I love you too."

[AngelOfDeath]

Aw.

Yuki does indeed deserve some love too. It's hard to resent him not being Heero when he's such a sweetie.

Good work!

[Gundam Girl]

Yay, good fic! Yuki x Relena does seem completely plausible, doesn't it?

I never thought I'd see a crossover pairing that I didn't loathe, but I acutally found myself hoping those two would work it out. I'm shocked. You have ruined my entire perception of the universe. Okay, so maybe it's not that bad, but still... Congratulations, I liked it and it was beautiful. Now they just have to figure out how to get rid of that curse...
