Chapter 1

Goodbye?


Relena looked out into the darkening mass of clouds and sighed. "...Matches my mood." A single tear came rolling down her cheek and hit the only picture she had of him.

In the picture Heero was smiling, well, the closest he got to smiling, as she tried to blow out the candles, when Duo grabbed her shoulder and blew them out for her. Everyone was surprised and after the photo, Heero did something no one could forget. He stuffed cake into Duo's face. Relena laughed so hard that she fell off her seat onto Heero's feet. He tumbled down with her. Duo took that picture. That photo met an untimely accident with a freak explosion. After the explosion he had had such a evil little smirk that Duo had to take that picture.

"Heero..." Her sobs echoed across the empty hallway. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!"

*FLASHBACK*

One year ago

Walking out to the awaiting car and Pagan, Relena smiled to herself and was looking from the corner of her eye to try and see a glimpse of Heero on the roof. However, that is not what she saw. Looking back at the sidewalk to make sure she didn't trip, her face met with chlorophorm.

When she came too, her hands and legs were bound and she was gagged and blind folded. Her head hurt like hell, and she heard inaudible discussions in a different room.

Then Heero came. The resounding repercussion from that first explosion rang in her ears still. It felt like a lion roaring his heart out right in front of her face. Her chair was knocked down to the side and gunfire insued. Her kidnappers fell one by one, until only one remained.

Grabbing her up and pointing a gun at her head, the barrel pressing into her temple, the kidnapper tried to reason with him.

"Come on, be reasonable. I'll give you the girl if you let me go out that door. Were both injured, and I bet you're just as tired as I am of guns. Right?"

"Mister, you have no idea how tired I am of the bullshit. But I'll rectify that right now." *BAM!* The kidnapper fell to the ground, dead.

"Mmf! Mm-mmph!" Relena tried to yell for Heero. He walked over slowly, so slowly, and undid her gag and bound hands and legs. She ripped the blindfold off and was going to smile up at him, however weakly, but he collapsed and fell into her arms. "Heero! Heero? Wake up!"
She grappled with his coat, trying to find his cell phone or something. Nothing. "Heero, don't you dare do this to me! Come on!" His wounds were deep and blood gushed from each an every one of them.

"Relena!" The cry echoed out from the hallway. Duo and the others came running to help. "Jeez! Is he alright?"

"I'll get an ambulance." Quatre hurried back out the door with a phone at his ear.

Trowa helped her stop the bleeding with his jacket and Wufei made sure that the kidnappers were dead. Duo merely stood there and tried to get himself to help. He was just as scared as she was.

"Relena, do you know what happened? I mean, before this?" He rushed on before she could say anything, "Well you've been gone almost three days, and he was pissed, I mean Zechs. Heero and Zechs got into a fight and he won." He was pale and couldn't look at Heero. Or her.

His words were fading as she focused on Heero. He was breathing, but barely. She heard the ambulance in the background and helped them put him in there. Not very trustful of ambulances since her father's death, she kept her distance from them but drew as close as she oculd to Heero.

*at the hospital*

"I'm sorry 'mam, but you'll have to step back." the surgeon said as the emergency room doors closed. A nurse was trying to treat her severe rope burns and lack of circulation in her arms and legs. Zechs was there with a black eye, trying to keep her from focusing too much on Heero's condition.

"And so, there you have it. The reason for my black eye, heh." sigh."Relena, you need to rest. Heero will be fine."

'As you can tell, he wasn't helping.'

Hours later

The doctor stepped through the doors and came upon a very tired group. Relena was the only one with her head not in her hands. She stood up and walked over to the doctor. The others woke soon after.

"Well, I'm sure you're tired of waiting," she said. "If you will please sit down so that I can tell you the news." Relena sat down next to Duo because Zechs was at home with Noin. "Your friend had already lost a lot of blood before getting here. Unfortunately, he-"

"Just spill it doc!" Duo yelled at her.
Taken aback by this obviously tired and stressed young man she went on, stammering, "Coma. He is in. A. Coma, yes. I am sorry." She wrung her hands tightly as she looked at the shocked and dispairing faces she went on. "I am sorry. If there is anything the hospital can do to help besides what we are already doing. Counseling, or anything else." A nurse came up and whispered in her ear. "Excuse me, but I must attend another emergency patient. Please feel free to stay here as long as you need."

Relena stared after the doctor and as the doors closed, she sobbed. "Heero..." she whispered as she passed out into her friends arms.

*FLASH*

"Relena still blames herself huh?" Duo asked as he walked by the hallway, unwittingly startling her out of her memory.

"Yes," Quatre replied as he descended into the library with him. "She isn't speaking to anyone. I haven't seen her out of that room in months. How am I going to tell her that he is supposed to be taken off the respirator tonight?" Quatre asked as he hid his face with his hands. This was a recurring thing as of late.

'Take him off? No!' Relena rushed out and cried out, "What do you mean!?"

Quatre blanched and Duo hunched as if hit. "Relena! I see that you're uh-"

"Save it. What is this about Heero?"

The hospital

"I don't understand, how can you just take him off the respirator? He hasn't passed the no return time, yet."

"I am sorry, Miss Relena, but this is a small hospital and there is no way that a helicopter can take him out in this weather. The storm is getting worse. You were lucky to get here as it is." The doctor rubbed her eyes tiredly. "I know how you feel, believe me. But the reason we need to pull him off is that during the last power outage a week ago, a little girl's respirator finally bought it. The budget cut out because of "politics." I know that this sounds like I'm making excuses, but I don't know how else to say it. We can't replace it in time. We have people around the clock trying to keep her alive," at this, Relena looked away. It was too much. Heero or this little girl. "I know this is hard for you. If I could change the weather, I would. The choice is up to you, but please, hurry, for her sake. She has a treatable condition now, but time is against her." She started to turn away. Relena gazed at Heero and listened to the heart monitor. Duo and the others were in the corridor, looking in at her. Quatre was in as bad shape as she was.

". . . Doctor. Do it."
