PART TWO
"My decision is final!"
"Re??"
"I already MADE UP MY MIND! I'm keeping him!" The blonde woman, now clad in jeans and a t-shirt, stood defiantly, her arms crossed over her chest and her eyes flashing in the Heero Yuy trademark death glare. She had been around him way too long.
"Hmn," Heero grunted. It was better to go at this from a different direction. When Relena made up her mind, she was a brick wall. Or, more accurately, a steamroller, ready to squash and flatten anything that stood in the way of her decision. That was probably why three-quarters of the men on ESUN Senate were afraid of her. Heero found it faintly less enjoyable now that he was in the path of her large construction equipment, not the piss-in-their-pants-when-Relena-turns-that-odd-shade-of-purple-and-begins-to-talk-in-a-less-than-agreeable-tone-of-voice men. Wow, long title for such piss-in-their-pants? Nevermind. It was a lovely shade of purple, though? Heero cut off that train of thought.
Ah, it was much better to nurse his hurting pride and kindling temper. His eyes flickered to the object of his anger now trying to scramble back into its rescuer's arms successfully. To Heero's further anger and feeling of betrayal, the politician calmly accepted the now clean and vaccinated wet carpet, absently rubbing its excuses for ears. The beast, which before had never managed a purr in its life, was now faintly doing so, much to Relena's delight.
Heero wanted to go beat something to death (mainly the wet carpet enemy, though that was out of the picture now) as he heard Relena giggle. That was his giggle, the one she used when he did something "Heero Yuy-ish" or faintly embarrassing. His foul mood increased as he saw her gently scratch the animal (Heero had to wonder how she was holding the wet carpet and petting it at the same time?a mystery to be solved someday), and give the animal a soft look of love as it raised it head to allow her better access to its chin. That was his look! She gave him that look when he? Well, she looked at him like that almost all the time!
The ex-Gundam Pilot scowled more deeply and approached his employer. The wet carpet in her arms suddenly clutched at her and had the audacity to hiss at him! Heero had the mind to hiss right back. Hmph. No one, especially not a wet carpet, hissed at Heero Yuy and got away with it. Well, no one except Relena Darlian, but at was another story.
The Japanese man scowled and stepped closer. "Omae o korosu," he replied.
Needless to say, Relena was first shocked. (She thought he was talking to her for a second.) Then, puzzled. (Heero Yuy was not one to talk to himself, though she had found him talking to walls a few times?O.o) Then, shocked again. (Why in the hell would Heero Yuy tell an adorable striped ginger tomcat that he was going to kill it?) Then, utterly outraged.
She clutched the mass of hair to her chest protectively and all but bristled herself at him. "How dare you?! This lonely, defenseless, poor animal was just rescued from its evident death of starvation, and you tell him you are going to kill him?! I can't believe you!"
Heero's face, which was drawn into a scowl before, blanched and dropped into a shocked expression. That look usually sufficed her appetite of anger (which was becoming a good deal more wrathful lately), but not today.
Though, thinking like that, it almost made the Japanese man seem as if he was faking the look. Nope. Heero Yuy had forgotten that she was there, so intent he had been on scaring the shit out of his enemy. Oh, boy. A mistake that was probably going to lead to the utter failure of his mission because he was likely to die himself before the wet carpet met a suitable end.
"??dare you! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME??!! HEERO!! YOU SON OF A??!"
The door opened, and a small, red haired man walked in adorned in a lab coat and several layers of animal fur. He was currently glancing down at his clipboard, flipping absentmindedly through the sheets of paper. The man looked up, suddenly sensing the strained silence of the room. Heero wanted to hug him tightly and thank him for saving his life.
The vet slowly glanced around the small white examining room. Relena stood in the corner, just in front of a cushioned chair and behind the white countertop now covered in yellow and white fur, clutching the owner of that fur tightly in her arms. She seemed unnaturally red??almost a lovely shade of violet. Hmn. Perhaps she was allergic to the animal. Heero Yuy stood against the chart of dog's teeth on the opposite wall, looking all the world as if he had just gone through another Earth/Space Colony war.
The vet cleared his throat roughly. "Um, well? I just wanted to tell you that the cat is pretty healthy, just needs some food. But he does need to be spayed unless you want cat pee all over your house."
Relena nodded. "Yes, of course. When would it be a good time for that to happen?"
"How about this, you and your husband wait it out, and then we'll call to set up the time of the appointment. He'll have to stay overnight, though."
"He's not my husband," Relena huffed, looking annoyed and shooting a glare in that direction of the room.
Heero winced. Okay, bad tone to hear. That meant she was very, very annoyed at him, and would likely not talk to him for a few days. The longest talk-free she had ever gone was? 94 hours, 16 minutes, and 27.3 seconds. Only 5 minutes of that was peaceful before he had started to miss her talk. The rest of that time was utter hell. Heero still wondered faintly what he did wrong then. Ah, well.
"Oh, we are currently visiting this colony. Could the surgery be finished within two weeks?" she asked.
"Yes! Yes, of course!" the vet said quickly. He had heard the warning tone of her voice. It would be best to respond to her wishes.
"Then we'll be here when you want us."
Heero had the feeling that the "us" was referring to Relena and the wet carpet, not him.
Yes, it was best to approach this cautiously. He needed to destroy the enemy at the very base. Yes? Heero Yuy smirked at the chart of car ears. He had a plan that would surely destroy the wet carpet forever.
