PART SIX

The phone rang. Heero picked up the line. "Yuy."

"Hey, Heero, could you get me on the line with Relena?"

Heero blinked. Not an enemy, just Hilde. "Hn."

"Hilde?" came Relena's sweet voice on another phone.

"Hey, Relena! I heard about It!"

"Oh, really! I??Heero, are you still on the line?!"

Heero scowled and hung up the phone. What was Hilde talking about, It? Relena sounded almost pensive. What would they be talking about? That It was the key to that conversation. He needed to know what this It happened to be. It sounded important, whatever It was. Carefully treading his way along the halls, the ex-Gundam Pilot slipped upstairs. It was nearly 10:00AM, and it surprised him that Relena was already so?conversational. She usually did nothing but grunt until her morning coffee.

"I couldn't believe it! I never knew?until he told me, at least! Then the signs were obvious!"

Heero blinked, edging closer to the door from which her voice came.

"Did Duo tell you?"

Brief silence.

"If Duo didn't tell you, then how did you find out?

Slight pause.

"Joseph told you?!"

Longer wait.

"You wouldn't??!"

Another long wait.

"But, Hilde, you can't tell him! He'd kill me!"

Short silence.

"I'll do anything!"

Brief silence.

"Anything!"

Long pause.

"Alright?alright! But you have to swear you won't breathe a word! Heero would have a heart-attack!"

Heero slipped against the wall tapping the door accidentally. Heart attack?

Momentary silence stilled the room. Heero held his breath outside in the hall, wishing he had been more careful. The vague quote came to mind, just then: Curiosity killed the cat.

"Okay, Hilde. I have to go. Winston is having his surgery at noon, so I have to go support him and Heero."

Vague silence.

"I know, I thought Heero hated him too! But I found them yesterday! He was purring! It was so cute!"

Heero scowled, deciding the conversation had gone from interesting to dull. He made him way back downstairs, deciding to confront Joseph again only to bump into Duo, literally.

"Hey, buddy!" he cried. "Howya doing? Feel better after COMPLETELY DESTROYING the Preventers' Station?!"

Heero scowled. That wasn't fair at all. After the braided man had laughed about the incident so much, Heero hardly thought he deserved criticism about that. "You thought it was funny yesterday."

"It was funny, at least until Une called me yesterday and got mad! Do you have any idea how much paperwork I have now?! And now Hilde is mad at me, and may I remind you, she's at your service at the moment! And?"

Heero ignored the other man and continued down the hall. Why should he care if Duo had paperwork? The baka never finished the normal reports when they were due. It was all justice in the end.

Duo frowned, following his friend. His argument was not entering the ears of Heero Yuy at all. "What's the matter, Heero? Cat got your tongue?"

Heero stopped. Duo stopped, blinking. Okay, so maybe Heero had been listening. Heero scowled. "Go away."

Duo edged away nervously, laughing. Making sure he was entirely alone, Heero gave a mental sigh before continuing on his journey to his room, where the laptop currently resided. Striding purposefully through the house, he stopped when he heard a deep rumbling laugh. "Yeah, she even let me watch!"

"Dawm, you're lucky, Joseef. I'd guve anyzing to zee zat! And feel it!"

"Oh, I haven't felt anything yet, but I sure as hell will soon."

Heero blinked and entered, his face dark. Joseph was currently sitting on the couch, holding a struggling Wet Carpet in his arms and grinning like mad. The other occupant, a blonde man, was someone Heero did not recognize. He sat opposite Joseph, playing with Wet Carpet's back paws. The poor creature struggled roughly in Joseph's arms.

"Wet Carpet." Instantly, the cat hissed. Joseph dropped the animal, paling and looking up at Heero with apprehension in his eyes. The beast raced forward to follow as the ex-Gundam Pilot abruptly turned on his heal and left the room, barking out an order over his shoulder. "The rooms are dirty. Clean them. Now."

? * * *

After ten minutes of searching the databases, Heero came up with several facts on Joseph:

-Joseph K. was a colonel of the Preventers at the age of 24 years, a very high ranking for one so young
-He passed all the exams with flying colors and received numerous awards
-Apparently, he was of born in the colonies and had resided there all his life until joining the Preventers

Heero scowled. Precious little information to actually use. Perhaps he could simply ask Une a favor and have the inferior man destroyed?or fired, at least. Or shipped off on an assignment to Siberia.

"Heero?"

The man jumped, shocked to find himself caught off-guard. Relena stood at the doorframe, smiling gently. There was a soft light in her eyes that caused the greenish-blue depths to swirl a molten color of flame. Her face showed the serenity of her soul (though not of her temper).

"Let's go," she stated. "Winston is already in the car ready for his operation."

Heero winced, suddenly treasuring his own?assets? He couldn't help but feel sorry for the beast, even if it was just a Wet Carpet ready to steal his Relena away.

? * * *

A few hours later, with Wet Carpet safely tucked away in the vet's office, Heero stood alone in the hallway. In front of him, Relena's door. This would be the only time she was completely alone, without Wet Carpet/Joseph/Duo, all vacation. Now he didn't want her to be alone anymore at all; he wanted her to be with him.

Taking a deep breath, Heero wondered faintly why he was so nervous. Surely Relena would not reject him. He smirked, knowing that he certainly would be the only person to ever truly satisfy her desires, as numerous as he was sure they were. Throwing his head back, the man marched into the room?

And who better than to be laying on the bed, like some beautiful virgin sacrifice to the gods, than Relena? Cupid's-bow lips, curved into a soft smile, his smile; large, wide blue eyes that pierced and healed his soul in the same moment; small, pert nose raised unconsciously, yet prideful in the air; long golden strands of hair that lay fluidly on the white sheets of the bed. And her body lay before him, just one tiny, thin layer of clothing separating him from ecstasy. Heero stood silent, studying her before pushing the door behind him shut with a 'click'.

A gentle smile pursed her soft lips. "How do you do that?" she whispered.

Heero stood beside the bed a moment before leaning forward to gently kiss her. "What?"

"Look at me like that?"

Slowly, the man raised his eyes, unaware that his irises had darkened to almost black in desire. "Like what?"

"Like it's the first time all over again."

His lips curved into a scowl and he pulled back. "It feels like the first time; it's been so long."

Relena smiled, placing her finger on his nose, watching in delight as his eyes crossed. "The whole reason we took this vacation was to get away, to have free time."

"You haven't ever been alone," he pouted.

Heero watched as the woman under him blinked in confusion. "Alone?? I've been alone frequently."

"Not without the Wet Carpet."

Relena blinked. "The wet carpet? Do you mean WC? Is that what his name stands for?"

A wince played across Heero's features. Then, it was chased away by her beautiful laughter. "You mean you were afraid to share the bed (which I might add, has been cold and lonely lately) with me (which I might also add, is your beloved and only wife) because of a cat?"

The Japanese Pilot scowled faintly. Then, he leaned forward to attack the bared skin of her neck only to find her tiny yet strong hands pushing against his chest. "What, I will also state, Heero Yuy, that you shall never again name anything in the rest of your life. Got that?"

"Fine," came his grunt. Really, how could she talk so much when she knew exactly what they'd be doing next?

Making sure her hands were off of his chest, he leaned forward, finally able to claim to the prize of her lips on his own. Gently deepening the kiss, he flicked his tongue inside her sweet mouth. His right hand came up to gently cup her breast, and he heard her sigh into his mouth. Lowering his lips to her neck, he assaulted the white skin there, sucking and licking, occasionally nipping, causing her to gasp and press the length of her body against his. He knew that she could easily feel his desire, and he increased his pace, starting to pull at her shirt as her tiny hands entered his own and traced the lines of his torso.

Just a moan escaped his lips, she pulled away. "Before we do this, Heero, I need to tell you something."

Tell him what? "Tell me what?"

Relena hesitated and looked down at her lap, studying her fingernails. "I?What I have to tell you will probably change our relationship at the moment."

"Change it? I don't want to change it." (Unless it meant getting her in bed with him more and more quickly.)

"I know, but it's too late now. I just?I was going to wait to tell you, but I don?t think I should any longer??"

The door opened and a deep, powerful voice (a hated voice) spoke. "Relena, have you forgotten our engagement?"

Heero winced and turned to tell the man off (which he saw to be Joseph K.), but Relena quickly scrambled from under him. "Oh damn! I forgot! Just a second, Joseph!"

"Okay, sweetheart. Take your time."

And poor Heero was left alone, on a cold bed, staring at the ceiling.

[paxbanana]

You'll see!

[blackrose]

Engagement as in an appointment, I'm hoping. If Relena's a married woman...

And I have a guess as to what she wants to say, but I think I shall keep quiet...for now.
