Across The Winds
Chapter 6
Zeros Lost Soul
Hilde closed the door behind her. ?What was wrong with her? I need to talk to someone! I know!? Hilde quickly dialed the house number to Relena?s manor.
?Hello?? came Pagan?s face appeared on the screen. ?Ah Miss Hilde. How good to see you. I will summon Relena.?
?Thanks.? Pagan walked off the screen.
?Hilde! How good to hear from you!? Relena sounded like she hadn?t seen her in years. ?To what do I owe the pleasure??
?I have a problem I need to discuss.?
?Oh, I?ll actually be on L2 in a week or so. If you want we can talk then.?
?Okay, I guess that will work.? Hilde was glad she was going to see Relena again.
?See you then.?
?Bye.? Hilde had expected the conversation to last hours, instead, less then a minute. Hilde let out a sigh.
She avoided Heero for the rest of the week, well, as much as you can avoid your roommate and employee. Hilde decided to pick Relena up versus having a limo and convoy appear on her doorstep. She waited at the terminal for her to walk down the port.
?Hilde!? Relena ran to hug her friend.
?Relena!? Hilde met her hug with just as much force.
?It?s so good to see you!? The separated and smiled at each other.
?Let?s get out of her before the press arrives.? Relena agreed without reluctance. The ride to the house was all catching up. Heero and Duo had to pick up some parts for the garage. ?So what?s this problem Hilde?? Relena and Hilde had arrived at the house. ?It?s a guy isn?t it??
?Yea?? Hilde let out a heavy sigh. ?It?s not just a guy though.?
?Duo?? Hilde looked like she had been blind sided by a line backer. ?What?? Relena asked puzzled.
Hilde recovered ?No. God, no.? Hilde thought for a second. ?No, it?s Heero.?
?Heero?? Relena seemed a little taken back. ?What does he have to do with this??
?Well. When Duo came home early and Heero was with him, something just happened.?
?What do you mean??
?Well, he?s cute, and I think that?s all I saw at first, but the longer he lived with us, the more I started to like who he is.? Hilde let out a held breath.
?Hmm, well, Heero can be a very attractive character. The way he?s set to things??
?I know what you mean. He?s just, this will sound crazy but he?s so kind to me in private.? Hilde stated and Relena nodded.
?I know what you mean. It took me two and a half years to see that. It only took you a few weeks.?
?Do you think me and him could ever?? Relena thought about this a moment.
?Yes I think so.? Relena looked at her watch. ?I?m sorry to cut this so short but I need to be somewhere.?
?Don?t worry about it, we?ll go shopping sometime or something and you can pick up the tab.? Hilde smiled as she said this and Relena did as well.
?You can hold me to it. My cab?s here. I?ll talk to you later Hilde, Good-bye.?
?Good-bye Relena.? Relena walked to the door and out to the cab. With a final wave, Relena stepped into the cab and left.
?Hilde. Who was that?? Seeing the retreating cab Duo jumped out of the truck and ran to the front door.
?No one. They needed directions.? Hilde turned to the truck wondering where Heero was. Duo answered her silent question.
?Heero?s unloading the truck.? Duo went inside and Hilde went out to the back of the truck.
?Heero?? Hilde looked around the back of the truck to see Heero shirtless carrying a box to the garage. Hilde blushed as he spotted her.
?Why are there heat waves on a colony?? he asked no one while wiping his brow.
?They say it reminds us we?re from earth.? Heero turned to see Hilde behind him.
?Hey, what are you doing out here?? Hilde looked down and shied away a bit.
?I was wondering where you were when you didn?t come in with Duo.? Heero looked over at her.
?Something wrong??
?No, I?m just tired.? She lied.
?Maybe you should go lay down.? Hilde shook her head.
?I?m okay.? Heero shrugged and continued his work. ?She?s so self-reliant. Wont let anyone help her for the world.? Heero smiled at his thoughts.
Heero finished rather quickly and headed for the garage only to find Hilde there, already working on motorcycle. ?Hilde?? He heard a bang of something hitting metal.
?OW!? Hilde rubbed her head from where she hit her head on the handlebar. ?Oh, Heero, I thought you and Duo had more to parts to pick up.? Heero shook his head.
?No, we finished on that last run.?
?Oh, then help me get the manifold off this cycle. This bolt won?t come loose.?
?Let me take a look at it.? Heero kneeled as he looked at the cycle. ?I don?t have small enough hands to get to it.? Heero backed away and Hilde went back down in front of it. Heero kneeled behind her. ?Here.? Heero put his arms around her on top of her hands and helped her pull the wrench until the bolt broke. Something very comfortable swept over Heero as he realized the position they were in. He smiled. Hilde turned her head to where Heero?s was resting on her shoulder.
?Thanks.? She said leaning closer.
?Don?t worry about it.? Heero pulled away just as she was getting close. ?We better get to work so we can finish before Friday.?
?Yea.? Hilde said with disappointment in her voice.
A.N. Standard Disclaimers apply. My longest chapter yet! I took in the review about how fast I was making it and I will take that into consideration, especially for the fact I wanted this be my longest story yet, and my longest so far is ten chapters. I?m aiming for fifteen. Thanks for reviewing. I appreciate the critique on how I?m writing and hope more review and make suggestions. Thanks as always! ?Zeros Lost Soul

Here's a little known fact: Ninja tears can be used in place of olive oil to add flavor to many dishes, but they all KILL YOU! Think about that the next time that you're cooking with ninja tears...
