Rating: NC-17 [Lemon]
AN: Alrighty. I know this was a long wait. I had been waiting to see this completely betaed so if you find any errors or mess ups=It was me being lazy ^^;
Again though, this is the last LONG chapter. Hope you Enjoy.</center>
The warmth that enveloped her felt like a cocoon placing protection around her body and soul. It felt so different but so pleasant.
Her blue eyes started to shut out the world around her when a feeling pulled at her core.
?Heero??
Opening her eyes fully, the image wasn?t of the room any longer; just the soft glow of the shield. What was it? She could feel this power, surging through every vein running through her body. It was coming from her. She was protecting herself.
A flow of electricity shot through the misty cloud. Where was she?
The soft pull began to draw harder. ?Heero.? She knew that feeling. The feeling of being around him and the comfort of being with him, it was all there in that one pull from her soul.
Her eyes scanned the cloudy sphere but she couldn?t see anything. She knew he was around?somewhere. ?Heero?where are you?? Her voice strained. He needed to be near her. She needed him more than anything right now.
A small sparkle spilled from her eye and landed in the pit of the haze. Was she alone now? Forever in this place? The clouds started to swirl, twisting over each other, forming into a spiral.
Relena pulled herself farther back. The clouds no longer showing, began to form another image. She couldn?t make it out at first.
It was dark, midnight dark. She could almost sense the moonlight touching the surface of the sky. Trees rushed past up ahead, underneath a sleek plate of glass. Going so fast, it had to be moving. Was she moving or the sky?
?We?ve got company.? His voice. Relena turned to see the man she was searching for. A grimace carved on his face. The gun nuzzled near his side as he peered out the window.
The roaring of engines from behind made her almost jump out of her skin. Looking behind her she saw the company they were speaking of. A nice group of them too.
She winced as a fire narrowly missed the corner of the car. She heard a muffle of acknowledgement that they indeed had company. ?Trowa??
The back of his head was in view when the she felt her whole body being yanked to the right of the car. She braced herself for impact but didn?t feel any pain when she hit. But she didn?t have enough time to react before she could feel the car pull a hard left, making go the opposite way.
?Ugh, can?t you stay put for five seconds.? She muttered as she tried to pull her body back up into a sitting position. Another round of gunfire was heard.
She could make out Heero hanging a little farther out the window, gun in hand, firing off a few rounds at a car. The screeching tires followed by a loud crash of heavy metal and an explosion made her know he hit his mark dead on.
Another black car swerved too close for comfort near the driver?s side. Relena could see the passenger?s face. She could feel her stomach doing a summersault from either Trowa?s driving or this man?s face, she wasn?t positive but knew she wasn?t getting any better by looking at him. The scar sat right above his lip, almost like he knew she was there, he grinned. Teeth almost green and empty spots where teeth should have been were the only thing sitting in his mouth. His hair, if you could call it that, had different spots where it decided to stop growing and shrink back into his head.
Relena was about to barf. He pulled out his gun and started to try and put bullet holes all along the side of Trowa.
Were these the men, Dameon had said he sent after the guys?
Trowa slammed on the brakes making Relena launch against the back of Heero?s seat. Out of instinct, she rubbed her head. ?Could you be just a bit gentler back here?? Blonde hair cascaded in her face, blocking out the sight of Heero?s eyes narrowing at her.
His eyes didn?t seem to see her?but sensed her being there.
When she finally glanced up, she could see a pair of Prussians looking at her Cerulean straight on.
Heero.
Just as they were connected, they were at far ends from the world as they could get. His eyes looked back at the windshield. ?Trowa to the right.? The car swerved to the right.
This time Relena?s body didn?t follow the car?s movements. The vision of Heero started to blur.
Fear wrapped around her heart. ?Heero? Heero, wait!? Colors spilled and twisted, all she could see was another frenzy fire targeted straight at the front and back ends of the tires. The sound of screeching tires and screaming, the last thing she heard before the clouds reappeared and then the room.
The dark room, with only one window set by the bed that held the dark sheets crumpled from lying in them not so long ago. Why was she here?
?No?I was just?? Energy slipped from her body the second she went to make a walk to the bed. She felt drugged; her arms and legs becoming heavier to lift. The room started to spin again, nothing focusing into one physical thing. She could feel it all falling; crashing around her feet.
Everything started fast forwarding ahead of her, flying by her eyes. A strong gust of wind blew through. The window not even open, the drapes swishing from the blow. Pale tresses whispering around her face as the current pushed her back to her feet as her mind slowly began to shut down, falling unconscious.
?Heero?no, this isn?t??
Darkness loomed once again. Black feathers falling from the ceiling fell to her feet, forming a circle around her before the coil of air finally placed the sleeping princess down on the cold floor. The blonde strands fanning around her head, a halo.
A pulse lightly beating sounded in the room, blue streaking of light flowing down the girl?s body.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The hallway was dark. The only light was the lit candles sitting in Victorian candleholders on the walls, lighting the way down the narrow, carpeted path. Fanning her fingers through her crimson red hair, which became a habit whenever feelings something a mishap, Kalli strode down. The last door with carved dragons with long wings, breathing fire, on the right was the princess?s.
Whenever she happened to catch notice of it, she would finger the trace of the dragon?s body then the long talons that connected the wings. This time however the door was cracked open by an inch. She was sure it was locked the last time she had left.
Pushing open the door, the sight of the princess in a pile of black feathers seemed to surprise her for only a moment. What in the hell was she doing? ?Princess, what are you doing lying on the floor like that? You?ll wreck that pretty dress-? She was cut off by the sudden movement of the girl. Blue eyes widened, her body moved and stood without faltering.
The dress clung to her curves until she was standing up completely for it to fall in perfect alignment with her body. Kalli tried to brush off the cold shiver running up her spine from the stare the girl was giving her. It had no emotion, cold dark orbs staring into her own.
?Princess?? She stepped forward but immediately stopped when Relena turned into a defense position. ?Miss Relena?calm yourself.? The girl wasn?t herself. Anxiety and frustration might have gotten the better of her, Kalli guessed as she tried to understand the sudden change in the Princess.
Making another advance toward her, calculating each step just incase the need to sprint and tackle the girl down with restraint was necessary. Relena?s cold eyes followed her, watching the ice crystallize every emotion. Kalli made another step which was enough to push Relena into an offensive pose. ?Princess??
Relena pulled her hand together, the bottom of each palm touching each other back to back. Facing straight at the red head, a blue glow encased her body before a hot surge of energy, electrified around her hands. ?Miss Rel-? A sphere twisted into a ball filled with pure intense electricity; pushing it from her body and heading straight at Kalli. Burning away the fabric covering her abdomen and waist, the blast knocked her across and out through the opened door. Her back slammed against the hard wood, her body falling limp to the ground.
Raising her head slowly, she could make out Relena recovering. The shallow blackened eyes turned back to their sparkling blue of life. Relena grabbed her head from the splitting pain going from the back to the front of her skull. Realization finally dawned on the minister when she glanced at the woman almost embedded in the wall and steam coming off her hands including the singe marks.
Her knees started to buckle, arms shaking. She pulled her hands to her face, trying to cover the tears that wanted to pour from her eyes. ?Get me out of here.? She whispered.
?I don?t know what?s wrong with me.? Gravity finally took its toll. Her knees buckled underneath of her, colliding to the ground.
The fallen angel laid motionless, dark blonde curls curving around her angelic face.
?Hmm, it seems,? Kalli pulled herself off from the ground, brushing off the ash that once was her black laced outfit, ?you?re learning your powers early.? She smirked, ?Master Dameon will be pleased I imagine.?
Walking through the threshold, she closed the door with Chinese figures dancing along the carpentry. ?First things first of course, we need to get you ready for the ceremony. Wouldn?t want you not to be ready when it strikes the time for you to be married to Master Dameon, your future husband and Master as well.? She crossed the room; the old hinges squeaking as the door shut completely, shutting out the sight of the two women.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sitting on the boulder that was just about hovering over a cliff Heero panted, trying to catch his breath as he ran a dirtied hand through the brown mane on his head.
?Trowa, are they all-?He glanced up at the man?s face and could already take his answer. ?I see. Alright.?
?Heero, remember what I said about being the guardian. Well there is more to it then just protecting The Fallen Seraph.? Trowa sat at the other edge of the rock trying to wipe some of the dirt off his hands with his pant leg.
Glancing over to Trowa, he waited for an answer. The once clown looked at the serious look on the ex assassin and sighed. You couldn?t keep shit from Heero once you let on just a small bit to drag it out.
?Well, not only are you to protect Relena. But in the prophecy it states something along the lines of marrying her. Guardian of her body, Protector of her Heart. That?s what it reads out on the sword that is supposedly yours.? Trowa looked on his arm and found some blood. ?Great,? Trowa cleaned two fingers off with his shirt sleeve this time and then lightly dabbed at the cut.
?And this sword, where is it?? Heero watched as Trowa sucked in a bit of air.
?With the Princess of course. In order to claim that sword, you must first declare you allegiance to the princess.? Ripping a piece of his sleeve off, Trowa covered the wound on his arm and looked up at Heero. The man was wide eyed.
?Something the matter, Heero??
?I have to??
?Marry her, yes.?
?And??
?Have sex, yeah that would be the honeymoon Heero.?
?Trowa I can?t.?
?Yes you can.?
?What if she doesn?t want to marry??
?Heero, I guarantee you she does.?
A slightly shaken hand ran through Heero?s hair again. Marry. He wasn?t even sure if he could asses himself with another living being without trying to choke them to death by small annoyances. Of course then again all his experiences were with Duo and his annoying little traits that had Heero turning in his sleep, avoiding him whenever he could, and pretty much not being near him without having no real need to be.
Relena was a completely different matter. She was all he thought about. Dreamt about whenever he did sleep over Duo?s annoying noises. So why was he so terrified for the first time in a long time that he would be this close to her? Libra he was uncomfortably close and yet he was the most comfortable he had been in the 15 years he was alive.
Shaking his head, he glanced back up toward the other end of the cliff. ?Their stationed right over there.?
Trowa looked toward where Heero was glaring at and turned back. ?Yeah I know. But Heero I have to know. What are you going to do when you get there? I mean, its one thing to barge in there and do what we usually do when Relena?s abducted by kicking ass and taking names on the fatalities count but this time it?s different. The people were dealing with??
?It?s just some crazed guy who thinks he can take whom ever he wants as his life partner, even against their will. Well, guess what maybe Relena is looking for someone not so forceful.?
Trowa was smirking. He had to bite his tongue from saying two words that could his seal fate. ?Like you.?
Heero was eyeing Trowa?s wound from the corner of his eye. ?I?ll be fine. Don?t worry. Scratch.? Heero nodded.
Standing up to his full height, Heero glanced back at Trowa, ?Come on let?s go.?
?One way or another, I?ll get you out of there Relena.? Heero?s blue eyes seemed like electricity.
He grit through his teeth as he started to descend the long way down of the cliff. ?One way or another.?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The room was spinning; nothing wanted to stay in place for more than a split second. Moving her head just slightly to test just how badly her head hurt, Relena grunted with pain. ?Okay, a lot of pain.?
?I see your awake, well good evening Miss Relena.? Kalli?s smooth voice quivered inside Relena?s head and the minister couldn?t help but squint. ?Noisy Bitch.?
At this point in time, Relena didn?t give a damn about their feelings. They took her while she was sleeping in Duo?s apartment which she was sleeping off the effects of when they attacked her in the alley way; should she give a damn about their feelings?
Sitting up, the sudden wave of nausea washed over Relena. ?Dear God, did someone get the name of that bus that hit me?? She covered her eyes with her hands when she felt an itch on her arm and went to scratch. ?What am I wearing?? She wasn?t wearing this dress the last she remembered.
Lace trimmed around her elbows was what caused the itch but Relena had completely forgotten about by now.
?Kalli what the hell am I wearing??
?Your last dress of purity.? Kalli straightened the skirt of the dress.
?Kalli it looks like a wedding dress.? Relena picked up a piece of the dress with two fingers like it had been diseased.
?It is.? She said coolly.
Right. How had she forgotten? Dameon was expecting her to marry him. Like hell she was. She?d take the consequence of not marrying him, even if it was death. Better to die then to give in.
The dress itself looked like it came from Frankenstein?s wife. Of course it was pretty, in that weird look way. The bodice was much like the dress she wore before, red string laced through it, leaving cleavage to be shown. The skirt of the dress slimmed out a bit more, like a flute. It was like the dark grey color of the bodice.
Kalli was placing welted roses in her hair. Golden locks were flowing over her bosom, wavy and length.
No, death wasn?t the answer either. She wasn?t going to give up that easily. There had to be away out.
?Kalli,? Relena thought, she smirked inwardly but hid it from the woman.
?Hey Kalli,? She called sweetly like a teenager would to a friend, ?can I ask you a personal question??
Letting go of the locks, Kalli stepped over to the other side of her and began working on the other side of her hair with the roses, ?Sure, go ahead and ask. Soon you?ll be my Master as well so I?m not allowed to hide anything??
What a way to live. ?Do you have feelings for?Master Dameon?? Relena wanted to vomit after using master but it was the only way that Kalli would think she finally gave in to marrying him.
?Pardon?? Kalli let go of Relena?s hair.
?Don?t play; I see the way you look at him. Like he?s your only source of life and you?d die without him.? Relena swerved her body around so she was facing the woman?s ?stunned? face.
?I?I?I can?t. I?m not allowed to love.? She covered her face with her long fingers.
?It?s alright. Just tell me. I promise I won?t tell Master Dameon.? Relena touched her arm, soothingly, coaxing her into her plan.
After a minute or so, Kalli finally pulled her hands down from her face and sat on the bed. Placing her hands in her lap she looked across the room, intrigued by the wall. Relena looked toward where she was looking but only found the wall; ordinary, this girl was spacing out.
?When I was about 14, I found myself lost. No memory or recollection of where or who I came from. Stranded in an island far from any land, I sat by the ocean every day. Looking out at the waves wondering where I belonged. By the time I was 15, I lived with no one. Sheltered only by an abandoned shack out on the coastline, I felt I was alone in the world.?
Relena could see tears stir about under her green eyes.
?Then one day I thought I might go out and drowned. There was nothing left in this world for me. Nothing at all. At the time I didn?t realize a storm was on the way and I stepped out a lightening bolt shot down right by me. Knocking me out for a few moments. When I finally came to, everything around me seemed blurred and I couldn?t comprehend what happened. I started to walk to the water not really knowing where I was going. The last I remember of that was the ice cold water seemed to burn my skin.?
Kalli wrapped her arms around her body like she was suddenly cold and frozen.
?When I awoke, I was somewhere I knew wasn?t the island any longer. My clothes and hair smelled of salt water. I had been floating around in the water for more than a day and a half when a wave finally pushed my up ashore to another island. The first thing I saw was the birds. Black birds that circled me, like they were waiting for me to finally pass on so they have their next meal; but that wasn?t the case. They were protecting me. Watching over me, a young boy only a few years younger than myself stood above me.?
Relena was now staring back at the wall. How could someone survive that long out in the ocean?
?The boy was Master Dameon. He took me in his home, gave me food and bathed me.?
?Bathed you?? A 15 year old being bathed? That?s new.
?As far as I can remember no one taught me anything on how to take care of myself. I didn?t even know what a toothbrush was let alone a bath. But Master Dameon was a gentleman about it. He showed me how to bathe by using my arms and then sent in a maid to help me the rest of the way.?
?Dameon has a soft heart? Or maybe this was Dameon before he went psycho?? Relena wished didn?t ask. Before she thought, he was a cold hearted bastard with a psychotic mind. Now she couldn?t figure this man out at all.
?So that?s when you first started realizing you were in love with him?? It was obvious now that Relena was curious.
Kalli blushed a bit but didn?t move her eyes away from the wall. ?I was still young and I didn?t know much on the word love. Or how it felt for that matter. The feelings I felt and still feel for Master Dameon or indescribable.? Kalli turned her head, the long lushes red hair falling about her shoulder. ?You know how that feels? To know that no matter what that person will always be there for you? To feel like you can survive in this cruel and unfair world with just a small smile or touch from someone??
Relena looked at the woman, her face was so, happy. Looking down a bit Relena nodded. ?Yes I do. I know exactly how you feel.?
?The Gundam Pilot right?? She titled her head to see Relena?s slightly hidden face.
Relena jolted up at the mention of him. But how did she? When did she?
?Don?t worry. You don?t even have to tell me. I know you love that Gundam Pilot. It?s quite obvious as are my feelings for Master Dameon. But of course nothing can become of either. For Master Dameon has claimed you as his. Neither the Gundam pilot or I can stop him once he has his mind set to something. He clearly wants you. For whom you are.?
Relena was speechless for a moment. For whom she was? She was Vice Foreign Minister that was all. It was merely a title nothing difficult about that. Even if she married him he wouldn?t acquire anything from her title. It was hers alone no one else?s.
?Who I am? I?m the Vice Minister. What would he gain??
?It isn?t that title. Who you are is what he wants.?
?Who I am??
?Yes.?
?Kalli, your not making any sense. If it isn?t my title then what is it? That I?m the princess from the Sanc??
?No. The Fallen Seraph is what you are.?
Anger was turning and twisting in her stomach. Fallen Seraph this, Fallen Seraph that. They kept talking about it but they never explained it.
?Don?t give me that Fallen Seraph bullshit. I want real answers.? Relena stood up but started to get lightheaded. She had forgotten her head was still spinning.
Kalli stood up and ushered her to sit back down but Relena fought her off. ?No more games. What is going on??
Again Kalli ushered her to the bed and this time Relena couldn?t fight her off. The feeling of being pulled in two directions was excoriating.
?What?s wrong with me?? Relena was fine moments before when she was speaking to Kalli, but the mere mention of The Fallen Seraph threw her in another strange nausea feeling. Did they drug her?
?W-what did you do to me?? Relena?s eyes fluttered.
?Nothing, this is just your body starting to take on your powers. The Fallen Seraph is slowly claiming every bit of your body until you can physically accept it.? Pulling the blankets over the young woman?s body, Kalli walked away.
?Heero.? Relena mumbled as fell into another state of slumber.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero spun around on his foot. What was that? ?I just heard her. It was Relena. Coming from the other direction.?
Trowa was still moving downward when Heero suddenly stopped. ?Heero you said so yourself its over here. How could she be all the way over on the other side??
?I don?t know. I just know I heard her. She was calling me Trowa. I could hear it in her voice. Something?s wrong.? Heero could feel his heart slam into his chest. What was going on?
Shifting his footing he moved back upward, heading to the top of the cliff where he and Trowa had started.
?Heero?
?Just trust me. She called me. I know where she is.? Heero pointed toward the small narrow space right above the cliff on the higher mountain top, the cliff was throwing them off. Instead of looking behind them, they assumed it was right in front. Probably set up like that on purpose so when a intruder or enemy comes, they?ll go directly for what is in front of their faces instead of what was behind them.
Heero saw a glimmer of light come off the spot. ?Trowa come on.? He hollered back down to his companion. He was moving too slowly, they had to get there immediately. No time for breaks.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Pacing the long hall it felt like it had been an eternity since they were informed of Relena?s abduction. Swiftly kicking up air, Zechs was still grumbling under his breath.
?God DAMMIT! What the hell is taking them so damn long?!? He shouted, frustration had taken the better of him and he since then been pacing up and down the hall of the Preventers headquarters.
Wufei was finally released. After running a million tests and finding nothing the doctors had no reason to keep him here. Warning to take it easy, they allowed Wufei to leave with the care of Sally. Now they all sat in the conference room. Zech still storming outside the door was trying to get the pent up anxiety that was eating at him.
Noin sat quietly on the one side of the table closest to the door. Sally and Wufei sat near the window just to the left, watching Zechs go back and forth down the hall.
While Zech was having his conniption, Duo was relaying everything he remembered about the woman in black to Quatre, Catherine, and Dorothy. None of them ever heard of her or Miss Relena speak of a woman like that.
?The way she acted just made me believe she knew exactly who I was. Like she was expecting everything I say out of mouth before I even said it. She was scary. But the weird part was, in the back of my head of felt sorry for her.?
?Sorry for her? Why on Earth would you feel sorry for someone who abducted Relena?? Catherine asked squarely.
?I don?t know.? Duo said while twirled his thumbs over and over one another.
Quatre typed in another idea of the woman?s profile but came up empty like every last time. Sighing, he ran a hand through his boy blonde hair. ?Nothing. Like she?s not even a possible match to anyone.?
Dorothy tapped her fingernail on the hard wooden table. ?That can?t be. You didn?t even get possible people. Similarities on here? You sure this damn thing isn?t broken??
?Positive.? Quatre looked sadly at Dorothy. ?This is the third one I?ve tried just to be sure it wasn?t the computer with bugs. But it?s all empty. Nothing on this woman or similar people to her is showing up like I said, as if she doesn?t even exist.?
?I?m about to shoot that man.? Wufei pointed a finger at Zech who was on his hundredth lap down the hall. ?He?s making me dizzy as shit.?
?Stop that.? Sally pushed Wufei?s finger down. ?He?s just really worried about his sister.?
Quatre looked up from the computer. ?Well all are. Just let him be, Wufei. If it lets someone walk out of here alive then let him pace some more.? Wufei seemed to like Zech?s walking instead of someone (him) getting killed.
?What I wonder is, ? Noin had both her hands closed in front of her mouth and leaned against them lightly, ?why now??
?True,? Duo said, ?Out of everything that witchy lady said, nothing was said about why this particular time. I mean if Relena is who they say she is then wouldn?t she be that since birth??
?Unless it takes time for her powers to develop and finally show.? Zechs pulled a chair from out under the table and sat next to Noin.
?So you believe that she truly is this Fallen Seraph their speaking about?? Noin was curious. Zechs never was the one to fall into the belief of the supernatural.
?No.? He propped his elbows on the table and closed his hands over his eyes to get rid of the sudden headache. ?I know.?
?Are you saying you knew all along your sister was a fallen angel?? Duo was watching the man?s reaction. So much as a move to get up and he was out of there.
?Sort of.? Running his fingers down his face he finally looked at the group of wide eyed people staring at him. ?My mother when she was still alive told me about a prophecy similar to the one that woman was speaking of. Or possibly the one in the same just slightly altered. She would say that my sister resembled the angel that fell from the heavens, destined to lead the kingdom of mortals from disaster and stop the devil?s child.? Zechs glanced at Noin. ?There was another part that the woman Duo encountered left out.?
?What? There?s more?? Duo was practically off his seat now.
?Seems there was another in this prophecy; Guardian I believe or something. Long ago a young man was chosen among the mortals to be the guide to the angel. In the story though, the angel falls in love with the young man and vice versa to him. When the devil?s child finds out it becomes enraged and decides to take the angel away and keep her as it?s own instead, being filled with greed.?
?And this man that you speak of?is Heero is it not?? Dorothy seemed to figure the gist of it before any of the others had. It didn?t surprise Zechs that she figured it out though. She had a witted mind about things. Especially when it came to scandal and prophecies of war and hatred.
?So what happened? Did the devil?s child take the angel?? Noin asked quickly. There was something about her face that pulled at Zechs. She seemed scared and worried at the same time nervous and anxious to know.
?In the story, the angel is taken by the devil?s child but not for long. Soon after the young man charges into the devil child?s lair and slays him.? Duo wooted and stood up.
?Yeah so then Heero will slay Dameon and save Relena and then we can all celebrate and go to our normal lives again. Alright! Maybe I should order that case of-?
Zechs cut in. ?It?s not that simple Maxwell. For as long as you known Relena have you ever saw her let someone die alone or be killed in vain while she stood and watched??
There was a pause and then finally Duo looked down at the table knowing the answer.
?No.?
?Exactly.? Zechs stood. ?Relena won?t allow Dameon to die by Heero?s hands. As much as she might want to leave she won?t allow anyone to die like that. Not even if he was the devil?s child.?
?Zechs.? Noin said worriedly, placing a warm hand on his that sat on the table still.
?So what you?re saying is that Miss Relena will?stay with Dameon?? Dorothy had a look that would have shocked most that knew her. She was worried and scared just like everyone else. ?Surely she wouldn?t. I mean all she ever wanted to do was be with Heero so why stay with Dameon?? She crossed her arms like trying to defy this prospect.
?To stop a war from happening between Heero and Dameon. The last thing she would ever want is for someone she loves to be wounded or killed.? Zechs body started to go slack and started to shake.
?Zechs?? Quatre was just about out of his seat to check on Zechs when Noin put up a hand and ushered him out of the room where no one was in hall.
Once the door finally closed Duo looked at the cup that sat in front of him. ?So even if Relena is saved, she won?t allow herself to be saved if Dameon isn?t??
Quatre placed a hand on his forehead. ?That?s what it seems. Miss Relena truly is the kind hearted person. I really can?t doubt anymore that she is a fallen angel.?
Everyone nodded including Wufei.
?So what now?? Catherine asked feeling cold suddenly.
No one answered until Quatre lifted up out of his seat. Glancing around the whole room to see everyone?s face and meet eye to eye, he finally walked over to the stack of documents that had a stamp on the very top thick with red ink stating ?Confidential.?
?Find something on Dameon Dermail.?
~*~*~~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*
?Zechs please, there is more isn?t there?? Noin placed her hand on his face as he leaned back into the wall.
Long platinum blonde hair fell over his eyes so Noin couldn?t see the dark circles that started to form around them.
?He?ll kill her Noin. I know he will.? He said flatly.
Noin drew back. ?What??
?In the end, the angel holds on the devil child and goes to hell with him. Fearing that he will always be in pain unless he isn?t alone. As she descended down she noticed the young man who became her lover and she instinctively reached for his hand. It finally registered to her that it was trick set by the devil?s child. When she finally grabbed a hold of the man?s hand the little demon stuck his claws in her arms and wouldn?t let go. It tore at her human skin, making blood pour of her. The tug of war never stopped. As the young man held on for dear life fearing that if he let go the demon would have his way and kill her and fearing to still hold onto her because he was killing and making her suffer while holding on.?
?But I thought she was an angel. Their mortal?? She was shaken; shaken on the inside and out. How could someone do something so vile and disturbing?
?She was a fallen angel. Falling in love with a mortal takes a large portion of powers out of one. Her powers were still powerful but when she clutched at the demon he warped all the remainder of her powers, making her mortal.? Zechs finally lifted his head. Tears were stinging at the edge of his eyes and Noin for the first time saw Zechs shed tears.
Grabbing him by the arms, she held him. Held him like if she didn?t, he would die from heartache.
?Relena, please. Be safe.? Zechs held firm in his grip around his wife.
~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Black feathers fluttered around as birds were perched up in the trees right above her but Relena didn?t seem fazed by them anymore. After what Kalli had said about the birds protecting her, it made her think maybe they were doing the same for her.
Walking down the patchy road, Relena finally figured this was outside of the mansion. She could see a window, light pouring out from it; a figure standing right in front of it.
?Dameon.?
Relena wanted to duck but she wasn?t even sure if he could see her. He was staring outward towards the sea, oblivious to anything else. A pair of pale arms snakes around his midsection and he willingly back into them.
Looking down the path where mist seemed to cover a clear view of what was down there, Relena started to walk down. Maybe she could find a way out of here before actually escaping. She knew this was just a dream but still. The dreams seemed just about accurate so far.
A bird flew right out from a tree and swung right in her face causing Relena to stumble backwards. It swung around again this time close enough to Relena to snatch her by a piece of her dress. Flapping its wings it continued to pull her up just it could push her the other way.
The sudden attack left Relena shaken but she stood up and walked in the direction the bird was pulling her. Crazy, she thought, but still a possible way out.
?Okay bird, where in the world are you leading me?? They had been trudging along the pathway the bird insisted in going for more than fifteen minutes.
It continued down the path, ignoring her question but keeping its distance from her short. Probably making sure she kept following it.
The sound of rushing water and a slapping sound caught Relena?s attention and immediately she knew where she was going. The sea.
?Why are you taking me here?? Relena walked down toward the shoreline and kicked at some of the sand. ?Look you, if you were trying to divert me from that path so I wasn?t escaping, you?re going to be sorry.? Pointing a finger at the bird, Relena started to go back but the bird flew past her and then stood in her face again, flapping its wings like it was having a heart attack.
?What the-! Are you insane?? Relena backed up a bit, shielding her face with her hands. The bird continued to flap its wings; it really didn?t want her to go down that way. But why?
?Get. I have to get out of this place and get to-? Relena stopped suddenly. A voice; it was thick and masculine. It sounded so familiar like an old song she had been dying to hear for so long.
Relena turned around toward the mist. Nothing had changed except the receding tides slowing down. ?Just my imagination playing tricks on me.? She assured herself and turned back to leave.
The voice called out again and Relena felt a chill run up her spine. Turning around again all she could see was mist and was about to leave and ignore the noise this time when the mist started to change and form.
?What the-? The form continued to change until the form was complete; a human. Relena squinted hard; she could only make out so much until the mist started dissipate.
?Who is that?? Relena started to go a little closer; not too close not knowing if it was an enemy and finally she could see facial features. The brunette locks that slightly covered his eyes, the dark blue eyes that could pierce a person?s soul.
?Heero?? Relena blinked but the image of him didn?t fade or perish. ?Oh my god, Heero!? Relena ran the rest of the way toward the man. She could feel all the built up anxiety start to dissolve.
Since the time she had been kidnapped, she hadn?t felt this excited to see such a familiar face as this. When she was in the car with them in the vision all she wanted to do was grab Heero and hold him until he held her back with the same ferocity. The fact that it was all an illusion and she really wasn?t sitting right behind him almost shattered her.
But wait?what if this Heero is the same thing? What if Heero is just another vision and not the real thing? Relena?s speed started decreases. What if he wasn?t Heero? It could be a trick.
When Relena suddenly cease to move, Heero moved the rest of way to her. Closing all the distance they had between them and grabbed the back of her neck, pulling her head slightly farther back and kissed her.
Even if it was a trick, Relena couldn?t seem to pull away. It felt just too real, too good to let go of him whether he be real or not.
She couldn?t, wouldn?t let go of him as he continued to kiss her for all she was.
?Heero?? She breathed breathlessly. Tears were now ready to spill, uncaring if they were welcomed to fall or not.
Brushing a few strands from her face, Heero stared at her eyes. They glistened to life just like they had when he first met her. ?Relena?I?m so sorry. I wasn?t there to protect you from-? She silenced him with her lips then placed her head against his chest.
?Are you real? Am I really holding on to you now or is this another trick?? She closed her eyes; not wanting to believe it was just another illusion.
?Too be honest, I don?t really know. It feels so real but. Just a few moments ago I was climbing and then I heard your voice and then I was here calling back to you.? Heero brushed her hair down as he pampered her, feeling the warmth she emitted to his body. He never wanted to forget this feeling. The soft skin that felt like moonlight, golden silk hair that spilled over her small framed shoulders; he never wanted to let go.
?If this really is a dream then I never want it to end, Heero.? Relena pulled back and kissed his lips again. This time though they weren?t urgent as they first were. They sought out comfort and pleasure but not lust. He moaned lightly into her mouth when her tongue lightly brushed past his.
?Heero, please.? Relena pressed her lips to his neck and sucked lightly. ?I don?t want to feel alone anymore.?
Passion or pleasure what ever it was, Heero felt like all the emotions had been built up to now; to finally feel Relena and for her to feel him.
Slipping his hand behind her hair, he unzipped the dress that clung to her body; it fell slack in the front, letting Heero brush his lips against the top of one breast that had been exposed.
?Heero?? Relena whispered, her fingers already starting to flow into his lush brown hair as he kissed lower on her bosom.
Their bodies pressed up against each other as Heero went for another searing kiss on Relena?s luscious lips. She moaned in his mouth when his fingers started to pick off the rest of the dress in the front until it fell to the skirt. Gorgeous, he thought as he examined her beauty.
He should tell her about what the maniacs are calling her. Tell her all the information that needs to be told. Let her know that everything will be all right.
Relena dug her nails in his back and the thoughts that had been running a mile a minute were thrown to the wind.
She was clawing at the front of his shirt, trying to get the black button down to open. It only took her a few seconds to finally unbutton it before pushing it off his shoulders. Leaning back, Relena let the rest of the dress fall down so it pooled around her feet. Heero sucked in a breath of air, unable to speak. His fingers stumbling, pushed back some of her hair and kissed her neck then kissed farther down on her navel.
Relena?s eyes closed, her fingers molding into his shoulders while he continued to kiss down her body. The wind blew a gust making chills run up her spine. ?Heero, is this a good idea?? Instinctively she looked around the surroundings but was caught short by Heero tongue lavishing her body.
Another moan escaped her lips; her knees buckled almost taking her down into the sand. Her fingers stumbled for Heero?s pant zipper; just as she unzipped he pulled her hands away and raised them over her head. Grabbing the skin tight slip over her head he kissed her softly on her lips and pulled back to look at her eyes. Swirling Blue Ocean, that?s what they resembled: electrifying yet steady as a beating heart.
Stepping out of his pants, Heero wrapped his arms around Relena and slowly descended to the sandy ground.
?Relena, I just wanted to tell you that?
?I know.? Relena ran her hand down his long handsome face. ?You don?t have to tell me. I can see it in those eyes of yours that haven?t changed.?
He captured her lips again and stayed that way. That one single kiss that told the world they were in love and nothing would ever stop them from loving one another.
As they parted Heero pushed the rest of his jeans down and then his underpants then went for Relena?s undergarments. Looking up at her angelic face that started to flush, he waited for a sign that told him she didn?t want anymore, that she wasn?t ready. He was met with none and he slowly slipped inside of her. All the while his eyes were trained on hers. He wasn?t going to turn away; he wasn?t going to close his eyes as she felt the pain of her virginity being ripped.
Relena?s fingers tightened on Heero?s shoulder as he planted himself inside her. Sucking in a deep breath, she squinted slightly but wouldn?t close her eyes. She wanted to look into Heero?s eyes the whole time.
After a few moments, Relena nodded and Heero started to move his hips slowly and careful not to hurt her more. At first the pain persisted and she could almost feel numbness but then as Heero continued to pump his hips back and forth another feeling in the pit of her stomach started to grow between her legs. The pain was overtaken by this sudden feeling of being pushed off of a cliff and plummeting into pleasure.
Relena took another hard breath and Heero almost thought he hurt her until she started to thrust at Heero?s hips, trying to sync in time with each of his.
The pressure between her legs progressed faster and Relena almost had to keep herself from jumping off the ground from the sudden rush that was taking over her body. Pushing himself farther in then before Relena clamped down on Heero?s cock and almost knocked the wind out of him.
He growled when he finally felt the pressure build up himself and started to pump faster before he climaxed before he could take Relena there. Pulling almost completely out, he took one hardened nipple into his mouth and rubbed his tongue over and around it as he plunged into Relena to the hilt.
A rush ran up her spine as she screamed her climax, her legs tightening around Heero?s waist. Hot liquid spilled down onto Heero, leaving a hot trial of her orgasm on his hardened cock that was screaming for its own release. He pulled out again this time grabbed both sides of Relena?s waist, lifting her off the ground just enough so her lower region was in mid air, then slammed into her with full force.
Relena closed her eyes tightly as her legs squeezed on Heero?s cock making him orgasm along with her. Their chests raged as Heero hovered above her, leaving butterfly kisses all the way up her chest and then a chaste kiss on her mouth.
Both looked at one another and Relena pulled her arms around Heero?s back and hugged him to her chest. ?Heero, don?t let go. Whatever you do?don?t let go.? Relena whispered as the tears started to fill her words. She never wanted to let go of him, never wanted to feel alone and always wanted to feel this pleasure of being with him; this love.
?Don?t let go.?

Chapter 4: A Prophecy Unfolded
Rating: NC-17 [Lemon]
AN: Alrighty. I know this was a long wait. I had been waiting to see this completely betaed so if you find any errors or mess ups=It was me being lazy ^^;
Again though, this is the last LONG chapter. Hope you Enjoy.</center>
The warmth that enveloped her felt like a cocoon placing protection around her body and soul. It felt so different but so pleasant.
Her blue eyes started to shut out the world around her when a feeling pulled at her core.
?Heero??
Opening her eyes fully, the image wasn?t of the room any longer; just the soft glow of the shield. What was it? She could feel this power, surging through every vein running through her body. It was coming from her. She was protecting herself.
A flow of electricity shot through the misty cloud. Where was she?
The soft pull began to draw harder. ?Heero.? She knew that feeling. The feeling of being around him and the comfort of being with him, it was all there in that one pull from her soul.
Her eyes scanned the cloudy sphere but she couldn?t see anything. She knew he was around?somewhere. ?Heero?where are you?? Her voice strained. He needed to be near her. She needed him more than anything right now.
A small sparkle spilled from her eye and landed in the pit of the haze. Was she alone now? Forever in this place? The clouds started to swirl, twisting over each other, forming into a spiral.
Relena pulled herself farther back. The clouds no longer showing, began to form another image. She couldn?t make it out at first.
It was dark, midnight dark. She could almost sense the moonlight touching the surface of the sky. Trees rushed past up ahead, underneath a sleek plate of glass. Going so fast, it had to be moving. Was she moving or the sky?
?We?ve got company.? His voice. Relena turned to see the man she was searching for. A grimace carved on his face. The gun nuzzled near his side as he peered out the window.
The roaring of engines from behind made her almost jump out of her skin. Looking behind her she saw the company they were speaking of. A nice group of them too.
She winced as a fire narrowly missed the corner of the car. She heard a muffle of acknowledgement that they indeed had company. ?Trowa??
The back of his head was in view when the she felt her whole body being yanked to the right of the car. She braced herself for impact but didn?t feel any pain when she hit. But she didn?t have enough time to react before she could feel the car pull a hard left, making go the opposite way.
?Ugh, can?t you stay put for five seconds.? She muttered as she tried to pull her body back up into a sitting position. Another round of gunfire was heard.
She could make out Heero hanging a little farther out the window, gun in hand, firing off a few rounds at a car. The screeching tires followed by a loud crash of heavy metal and an explosion made her know he hit his mark dead on.
Another black car swerved too close for comfort near the driver?s side. Relena could see the passenger?s face. She could feel her stomach doing a summersault from either Trowa?s driving or this man?s face, she wasn?t positive but knew she wasn?t getting any better by looking at him. The scar sat right above his lip, almost like he knew she was there, he grinned. Teeth almost green and empty spots where teeth should have been were the only thing sitting in his mouth. His hair, if you could call it that, had different spots where it decided to stop growing and shrink back into his head.
Relena was about to barf. He pulled out his gun and started to try and put bullet holes all along the side of Trowa.
Were these the men, Dameon had said he sent after the guys?
Trowa slammed on the brakes making Relena launch against the back of Heero?s seat. Out of instinct, she rubbed her head. ?Could you be just a bit gentler back here?? Blonde hair cascaded in her face, blocking out the sight of Heero?s eyes narrowing at her.
His eyes didn?t seem to see her?but sensed her being there.
When she finally glanced up, she could see a pair of Prussians looking at her Cerulean straight on.
Heero.
Just as they were connected, they were at far ends from the world as they could get. His eyes looked back at the windshield. ?Trowa to the right.? The car swerved to the right.
This time Relena?s body didn?t follow the car?s movements. The vision of Heero started to blur.
Fear wrapped around her heart. ?Heero? Heero, wait!? Colors spilled and twisted, all she could see was another frenzy fire targeted straight at the front and back ends of the tires. The sound of screeching tires and screaming, the last thing she heard before the clouds reappeared and then the room.
The dark room, with only one window set by the bed that held the dark sheets crumpled from lying in them not so long ago. Why was she here?
?No?I was just?? Energy slipped from her body the second she went to make a walk to the bed. She felt drugged; her arms and legs becoming heavier to lift. The room started to spin again, nothing focusing into one physical thing. She could feel it all falling; crashing around her feet.
Everything started fast forwarding ahead of her, flying by her eyes. A strong gust of wind blew through. The window not even open, the drapes swishing from the blow. Pale tresses whispering around her face as the current pushed her back to her feet as her mind slowly began to shut down, falling unconscious.
?Heero?no, this isn?t??
Darkness loomed once again. Black feathers falling from the ceiling fell to her feet, forming a circle around her before the coil of air finally placed the sleeping princess down on the cold floor. The blonde strands fanning around her head, a halo.
A pulse lightly beating sounded in the room, blue streaking of light flowing down the girl?s body.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The hallway was dark. The only light was the lit candles sitting in Victorian candleholders on the walls, lighting the way down the narrow, carpeted path. Fanning her fingers through her crimson red hair, which became a habit whenever feelings something a mishap, Kalli strode down. The last door with carved dragons with long wings, breathing fire, on the right was the princess?s.
Whenever she happened to catch notice of it, she would finger the trace of the dragon?s body then the long talons that connected the wings. This time however the door was cracked open by an inch. She was sure it was locked the last time she had left.
Pushing open the door, the sight of the princess in a pile of black feathers seemed to surprise her for only a moment. What in the hell was she doing? ?Princess, what are you doing lying on the floor like that? You?ll wreck that pretty dress-? She was cut off by the sudden movement of the girl. Blue eyes widened, her body moved and stood without faltering.
The dress clung to her curves until she was standing up completely for it to fall in perfect alignment with her body. Kalli tried to brush off the cold shiver running up her spine from the stare the girl was giving her. It had no emotion, cold dark orbs staring into her own.
?Princess?? She stepped forward but immediately stopped when Relena turned into a defense position. ?Miss Relena?calm yourself.? The girl wasn?t herself. Anxiety and frustration might have gotten the better of her, Kalli guessed as she tried to understand the sudden change in the Princess.
Making another advance toward her, calculating each step just incase the need to sprint and tackle the girl down with restraint was necessary. Relena?s cold eyes followed her, watching the ice crystallize every emotion. Kalli made another step which was enough to push Relena into an offensive pose. ?Princess??
Relena pulled her hand together, the bottom of each palm touching each other back to back. Facing straight at the red head, a blue glow encased her body before a hot surge of energy, electrified around her hands. ?Miss Rel-? A sphere twisted into a ball filled with pure intense electricity; pushing it from her body and heading straight at Kalli. Burning away the fabric covering her abdomen and waist, the blast knocked her across and out through the opened door. Her back slammed against the hard wood, her body falling limp to the ground.
Raising her head slowly, she could make out Relena recovering. The shallow blackened eyes turned back to their sparkling blue of life. Relena grabbed her head from the splitting pain going from the back to the front of her skull. Realization finally dawned on the minister when she glanced at the woman almost embedded in the wall and steam coming off her hands including the singe marks.
Her knees started to buckle, arms shaking. She pulled her hands to her face, trying to cover the tears that wanted to pour from her eyes. ?Get me out of here.? She whispered.
?I don?t know what?s wrong with me.? Gravity finally took its toll. Her knees buckled underneath of her, colliding to the ground.
The fallen angel laid motionless, dark blonde curls curving around her angelic face.
?Hmm, it seems,? Kalli pulled herself off from the ground, brushing off the ash that once was her black laced outfit, ?you?re learning your powers early.? She smirked, ?Master Dameon will be pleased I imagine.?
Walking through the threshold, she closed the door with Chinese figures dancing along the carpentry. ?First things first of course, we need to get you ready for the ceremony. Wouldn?t want you not to be ready when it strikes the time for you to be married to Master Dameon, your future husband and Master as well.? She crossed the room; the old hinges squeaking as the door shut completely, shutting out the sight of the two women.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sitting on the boulder that was just about hovering over a cliff Heero panted, trying to catch his breath as he ran a dirtied hand through the brown mane on his head.
?Trowa, are they all-?He glanced up at the man?s face and could already take his answer. ?I see. Alright.?
?Heero, remember what I said about being the guardian. Well there is more to it then just protecting The Fallen Seraph.? Trowa sat at the other edge of the rock trying to wipe some of the dirt off his hands with his pant leg.
Glancing over to Trowa, he waited for an answer. The once clown looked at the serious look on the ex assassin and sighed. You couldn?t keep shit from Heero once you let on just a small bit to drag it out.
?Well, not only are you to protect Relena. But in the prophecy it states something along the lines of marrying her. Guardian of her body, Protector of her Heart. That?s what it reads out on the sword that is supposedly yours.? Trowa looked on his arm and found some blood. ?Great,? Trowa cleaned two fingers off with his shirt sleeve this time and then lightly dabbed at the cut.
?And this sword, where is it?? Heero watched as Trowa sucked in a bit of air.
?With the Princess of course. In order to claim that sword, you must first declare you allegiance to the princess.? Ripping a piece of his sleeve off, Trowa covered the wound on his arm and looked up at Heero. The man was wide eyed.
?Something the matter, Heero??
?I have to??
?Marry her, yes.?
?And??
?Have sex, yeah that would be the honeymoon Heero.?
?Trowa I can?t.?
?Yes you can.?
?What if she doesn?t want to marry??
?Heero, I guarantee you she does.?
A slightly shaken hand ran through Heero?s hair again. Marry. He wasn?t even sure if he could asses himself with another living being without trying to choke them to death by small annoyances. Of course then again all his experiences were with Duo and his annoying little traits that had Heero turning in his sleep, avoiding him whenever he could, and pretty much not being near him without having no real need to be.
Relena was a completely different matter. She was all he thought about. Dreamt about whenever he did sleep over Duo?s annoying noises. So why was he so terrified for the first time in a long time that he would be this close to her? Libra he was uncomfortably close and yet he was the most comfortable he had been in the 15 years he was alive.
Shaking his head, he glanced back up toward the other end of the cliff. ?Their stationed right over there.?
Trowa looked toward where Heero was glaring at and turned back. ?Yeah I know. But Heero I have to know. What are you going to do when you get there? I mean, its one thing to barge in there and do what we usually do when Relena?s abducted by kicking ass and taking names on the fatalities count but this time it?s different. The people were dealing with??
?It?s just some crazed guy who thinks he can take whom ever he wants as his life partner, even against their will. Well, guess what maybe Relena is looking for someone not so forceful.?
Trowa was smirking. He had to bite his tongue from saying two words that could his seal fate. ?Like you.?
Heero was eyeing Trowa?s wound from the corner of his eye. ?I?ll be fine. Don?t worry. Scratch.? Heero nodded.
Standing up to his full height, Heero glanced back at Trowa, ?Come on let?s go.?
?One way or another, I?ll get you out of there Relena.? Heero?s blue eyes seemed like electricity.
He grit through his teeth as he started to descend the long way down of the cliff. ?One way or another.?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The room was spinning; nothing wanted to stay in place for more than a split second. Moving her head just slightly to test just how badly her head hurt, Relena grunted with pain. ?Okay, a lot of pain.?
?I see your awake, well good evening Miss Relena.? Kalli?s smooth voice quivered inside Relena?s head and the minister couldn?t help but squint. ?Noisy Bitch.?
At this point in time, Relena didn?t give a damn about their feelings. They took her while she was sleeping in Duo?s apartment which she was sleeping off the effects of when they attacked her in the alley way; should she give a damn about their feelings?
Sitting up, the sudden wave of nausea washed over Relena. ?Dear God, did someone get the name of that bus that hit me?? She covered her eyes with her hands when she felt an itch on her arm and went to scratch. ?What am I wearing?? She wasn?t wearing this dress the last she remembered.
Lace trimmed around her elbows was what caused the itch but Relena had completely forgotten about by now.
?Kalli what the hell am I wearing??
?Your last dress of purity.? Kalli straightened the skirt of the dress.
?Kalli it looks like a wedding dress.? Relena picked up a piece of the dress with two fingers like it had been diseased.
?It is.? She said coolly.
Right. How had she forgotten? Dameon was expecting her to marry him. Like hell she was. She?d take the consequence of not marrying him, even if it was death. Better to die then to give in.
The dress itself looked like it came from Frankenstein?s wife. Of course it was pretty, in that weird look way. The bodice was much like the dress she wore before, red string laced through it, leaving cleavage to be shown. The skirt of the dress slimmed out a bit more, like a flute. It was like the dark grey color of the bodice.
Kalli was placing welted roses in her hair. Golden locks were flowing over her bosom, wavy and length.
No, death wasn?t the answer either. She wasn?t going to give up that easily. There had to be away out.
?Kalli,? Relena thought, she smirked inwardly but hid it from the woman.
?Hey Kalli,? She called sweetly like a teenager would to a friend, ?can I ask you a personal question??
Letting go of the locks, Kalli stepped over to the other side of her and began working on the other side of her hair with the roses, ?Sure, go ahead and ask. Soon you?ll be my Master as well so I?m not allowed to hide anything??
What a way to live. ?Do you have feelings for?Master Dameon?? Relena wanted to vomit after using master but it was the only way that Kalli would think she finally gave in to marrying him.
?Pardon?? Kalli let go of Relena?s hair.
?Don?t play; I see the way you look at him. Like he?s your only source of life and you?d die without him.? Relena swerved her body around so she was facing the woman?s ?stunned? face.
?I?I?I can?t. I?m not allowed to love.? She covered her face with her long fingers.
?It?s alright. Just tell me. I promise I won?t tell Master Dameon.? Relena touched her arm, soothingly, coaxing her into her plan.
After a minute or so, Kalli finally pulled her hands down from her face and sat on the bed. Placing her hands in her lap she looked across the room, intrigued by the wall. Relena looked toward where she was looking but only found the wall; ordinary, this girl was spacing out.
?When I was about 14, I found myself lost. No memory or recollection of where or who I came from. Stranded in an island far from any land, I sat by the ocean every day. Looking out at the waves wondering where I belonged. By the time I was 15, I lived with no one. Sheltered only by an abandoned shack out on the coastline, I felt I was alone in the world.?
Relena could see tears stir about under her green eyes.
?Then one day I thought I might go out and drowned. There was nothing left in this world for me. Nothing at all. At the time I didn?t realize a storm was on the way and I stepped out a lightening bolt shot down right by me. Knocking me out for a few moments. When I finally came to, everything around me seemed blurred and I couldn?t comprehend what happened. I started to walk to the water not really knowing where I was going. The last I remember of that was the ice cold water seemed to burn my skin.?
Kalli wrapped her arms around her body like she was suddenly cold and frozen.
?When I awoke, I was somewhere I knew wasn?t the island any longer. My clothes and hair smelled of salt water. I had been floating around in the water for more than a day and a half when a wave finally pushed my up ashore to another island. The first thing I saw was the birds. Black birds that circled me, like they were waiting for me to finally pass on so they have their next meal; but that wasn?t the case. They were protecting me. Watching over me, a young boy only a few years younger than myself stood above me.?
Relena was now staring back at the wall. How could someone survive that long out in the ocean?
?The boy was Master Dameon. He took me in his home, gave me food and bathed me.?
?Bathed you?? A 15 year old being bathed? That?s new.
?As far as I can remember no one taught me anything on how to take care of myself. I didn?t even know what a toothbrush was let alone a bath. But Master Dameon was a gentleman about it. He showed me how to bathe by using my arms and then sent in a maid to help me the rest of the way.?
?Dameon has a soft heart? Or maybe this was Dameon before he went psycho?? Relena wished didn?t ask. Before she thought, he was a cold hearted bastard with a psychotic mind. Now she couldn?t figure this man out at all.
?So that?s when you first started realizing you were in love with him?? It was obvious now that Relena was curious.
Kalli blushed a bit but didn?t move her eyes away from the wall. ?I was still young and I didn?t know much on the word love. Or how it felt for that matter. The feelings I felt and still feel for Master Dameon or indescribable.? Kalli turned her head, the long lushes red hair falling about her shoulder. ?You know how that feels? To know that no matter what that person will always be there for you? To feel like you can survive in this cruel and unfair world with just a small smile or touch from someone??
Relena looked at the woman, her face was so, happy. Looking down a bit Relena nodded. ?Yes I do. I know exactly how you feel.?
?The Gundam Pilot right?? She titled her head to see Relena?s slightly hidden face.
Relena jolted up at the mention of him. But how did she? When did she?
?Don?t worry. You don?t even have to tell me. I know you love that Gundam Pilot. It?s quite obvious as are my feelings for Master Dameon. But of course nothing can become of either. For Master Dameon has claimed you as his. Neither the Gundam pilot or I can stop him once he has his mind set to something. He clearly wants you. For whom you are.?
Relena was speechless for a moment. For whom she was? She was Vice Foreign Minister that was all. It was merely a title nothing difficult about that. Even if she married him he wouldn?t acquire anything from her title. It was hers alone no one else?s.
?Who I am? I?m the Vice Minister. What would he gain??
?It isn?t that title. Who you are is what he wants.?
?Who I am??
?Yes.?
?Kalli, your not making any sense. If it isn?t my title then what is it? That I?m the princess from the Sanc??
?No. The Fallen Seraph is what you are.?
Anger was turning and twisting in her stomach. Fallen Seraph this, Fallen Seraph that. They kept talking about it but they never explained it.
?Don?t give me that Fallen Seraph bullshit. I want real answers.? Relena stood up but started to get lightheaded. She had forgotten her head was still spinning.
Kalli stood up and ushered her to sit back down but Relena fought her off. ?No more games. What is going on??
Again Kalli ushered her to the bed and this time Relena couldn?t fight her off. The feeling of being pulled in two directions was excoriating.
?What?s wrong with me?? Relena was fine moments before when she was speaking to Kalli, but the mere mention of The Fallen Seraph threw her in another strange nausea feeling. Did they drug her?
?W-what did you do to me?? Relena?s eyes fluttered.
?Nothing, this is just your body starting to take on your powers. The Fallen Seraph is slowly claiming every bit of your body until you can physically accept it.? Pulling the blankets over the young woman?s body, Kalli walked away.
?Heero.? Relena mumbled as fell into another state of slumber.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero spun around on his foot. What was that? ?I just heard her. It was Relena. Coming from the other direction.?
Trowa was still moving downward when Heero suddenly stopped. ?Heero you said so yourself its over here. How could she be all the way over on the other side??
?I don?t know. I just know I heard her. She was calling me Trowa. I could hear it in her voice. Something?s wrong.? Heero could feel his heart slam into his chest. What was going on?
Shifting his footing he moved back upward, heading to the top of the cliff where he and Trowa had started.
?Heero?
?Just trust me. She called me. I know where she is.? Heero pointed toward the small narrow space right above the cliff on the higher mountain top, the cliff was throwing them off. Instead of looking behind them, they assumed it was right in front. Probably set up like that on purpose so when a intruder or enemy comes, they?ll go directly for what is in front of their faces instead of what was behind them.
Heero saw a glimmer of light come off the spot. ?Trowa come on.? He hollered back down to his companion. He was moving too slowly, they had to get there immediately. No time for breaks.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Pacing the long hall it felt like it had been an eternity since they were informed of Relena?s abduction. Swiftly kicking up air, Zechs was still grumbling under his breath.
?God DAMMIT! What the hell is taking them so damn long?!? He shouted, frustration had taken the better of him and he since then been pacing up and down the hall of the Preventers headquarters.
Wufei was finally released. After running a million tests and finding nothing the doctors had no reason to keep him here. Warning to take it easy, they allowed Wufei to leave with the care of Sally. Now they all sat in the conference room. Zech still storming outside the door was trying to get the pent up anxiety that was eating at him.
Noin sat quietly on the one side of the table closest to the door. Sally and Wufei sat near the window just to the left, watching Zechs go back and forth down the hall.
While Zech was having his conniption, Duo was relaying everything he remembered about the woman in black to Quatre, Catherine, and Dorothy. None of them ever heard of her or Miss Relena speak of a woman like that.
?The way she acted just made me believe she knew exactly who I was. Like she was expecting everything I say out of mouth before I even said it. She was scary. But the weird part was, in the back of my head of felt sorry for her.?
?Sorry for her? Why on Earth would you feel sorry for someone who abducted Relena?? Catherine asked squarely.
?I don?t know.? Duo said while twirled his thumbs over and over one another.
Quatre typed in another idea of the woman?s profile but came up empty like every last time. Sighing, he ran a hand through his boy blonde hair. ?Nothing. Like she?s not even a possible match to anyone.?
Dorothy tapped her fingernail on the hard wooden table. ?That can?t be. You didn?t even get possible people. Similarities on here? You sure this damn thing isn?t broken??
?Positive.? Quatre looked sadly at Dorothy. ?This is the third one I?ve tried just to be sure it wasn?t the computer with bugs. But it?s all empty. Nothing on this woman or similar people to her is showing up like I said, as if she doesn?t even exist.?
?I?m about to shoot that man.? Wufei pointed a finger at Zech who was on his hundredth lap down the hall. ?He?s making me dizzy as shit.?
?Stop that.? Sally pushed Wufei?s finger down. ?He?s just really worried about his sister.?
Quatre looked up from the computer. ?Well all are. Just let him be, Wufei. If it lets someone walk out of here alive then let him pace some more.? Wufei seemed to like Zech?s walking instead of someone (him) getting killed.
?What I wonder is, ? Noin had both her hands closed in front of her mouth and leaned against them lightly, ?why now??
?True,? Duo said, ?Out of everything that witchy lady said, nothing was said about why this particular time. I mean if Relena is who they say she is then wouldn?t she be that since birth??
?Unless it takes time for her powers to develop and finally show.? Zechs pulled a chair from out under the table and sat next to Noin.
?So you believe that she truly is this Fallen Seraph their speaking about?? Noin was curious. Zechs never was the one to fall into the belief of the supernatural.
?No.? He propped his elbows on the table and closed his hands over his eyes to get rid of the sudden headache. ?I know.?
?Are you saying you knew all along your sister was a fallen angel?? Duo was watching the man?s reaction. So much as a move to get up and he was out of there.
?Sort of.? Running his fingers down his face he finally looked at the group of wide eyed people staring at him. ?My mother when she was still alive told me about a prophecy similar to the one that woman was speaking of. Or possibly the one in the same just slightly altered. She would say that my sister resembled the angel that fell from the heavens, destined to lead the kingdom of mortals from disaster and stop the devil?s child.? Zechs glanced at Noin. ?There was another part that the woman Duo encountered left out.?
?What? There?s more?? Duo was practically off his seat now.
?Seems there was another in this prophecy; Guardian I believe or something. Long ago a young man was chosen among the mortals to be the guide to the angel. In the story though, the angel falls in love with the young man and vice versa to him. When the devil?s child finds out it becomes enraged and decides to take the angel away and keep her as it?s own instead, being filled with greed.?
?And this man that you speak of?is Heero is it not?? Dorothy seemed to figure the gist of it before any of the others had. It didn?t surprise Zechs that she figured it out though. She had a witted mind about things. Especially when it came to scandal and prophecies of war and hatred.
?So what happened? Did the devil?s child take the angel?? Noin asked quickly. There was something about her face that pulled at Zechs. She seemed scared and worried at the same time nervous and anxious to know.
?In the story, the angel is taken by the devil?s child but not for long. Soon after the young man charges into the devil child?s lair and slays him.? Duo wooted and stood up.
?Yeah so then Heero will slay Dameon and save Relena and then we can all celebrate and go to our normal lives again. Alright! Maybe I should order that case of-?
Zechs cut in. ?It?s not that simple Maxwell. For as long as you known Relena have you ever saw her let someone die alone or be killed in vain while she stood and watched??
There was a pause and then finally Duo looked down at the table knowing the answer.
?No.?
?Exactly.? Zechs stood. ?Relena won?t allow Dameon to die by Heero?s hands. As much as she might want to leave she won?t allow anyone to die like that. Not even if he was the devil?s child.?
?Zechs.? Noin said worriedly, placing a warm hand on his that sat on the table still.
?So what you?re saying is that Miss Relena will?stay with Dameon?? Dorothy had a look that would have shocked most that knew her. She was worried and scared just like everyone else. ?Surely she wouldn?t. I mean all she ever wanted to do was be with Heero so why stay with Dameon?? She crossed her arms like trying to defy this prospect.
?To stop a war from happening between Heero and Dameon. The last thing she would ever want is for someone she loves to be wounded or killed.? Zechs body started to go slack and started to shake.
?Zechs?? Quatre was just about out of his seat to check on Zechs when Noin put up a hand and ushered him out of the room where no one was in hall.
Once the door finally closed Duo looked at the cup that sat in front of him. ?So even if Relena is saved, she won?t allow herself to be saved if Dameon isn?t??
Quatre placed a hand on his forehead. ?That?s what it seems. Miss Relena truly is the kind hearted person. I really can?t doubt anymore that she is a fallen angel.?
Everyone nodded including Wufei.
?So what now?? Catherine asked feeling cold suddenly.
No one answered until Quatre lifted up out of his seat. Glancing around the whole room to see everyone?s face and meet eye to eye, he finally walked over to the stack of documents that had a stamp on the very top thick with red ink stating ?Confidential.?
?Find something on Dameon Dermail.?
~*~*~~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*
?Zechs please, there is more isn?t there?? Noin placed her hand on his face as he leaned back into the wall.
Long platinum blonde hair fell over his eyes so Noin couldn?t see the dark circles that started to form around them.
?He?ll kill her Noin. I know he will.? He said flatly.
Noin drew back. ?What??
?In the end, the angel holds on the devil child and goes to hell with him. Fearing that he will always be in pain unless he isn?t alone. As she descended down she noticed the young man who became her lover and she instinctively reached for his hand. It finally registered to her that it was trick set by the devil?s child. When she finally grabbed a hold of the man?s hand the little demon stuck his claws in her arms and wouldn?t let go. It tore at her human skin, making blood pour of her. The tug of war never stopped. As the young man held on for dear life fearing that if he let go the demon would have his way and kill her and fearing to still hold onto her because he was killing and making her suffer while holding on.?
?But I thought she was an angel. Their mortal?? She was shaken; shaken on the inside and out. How could someone do something so vile and disturbing?
?She was a fallen angel. Falling in love with a mortal takes a large portion of powers out of one. Her powers were still powerful but when she clutched at the demon he warped all the remainder of her powers, making her mortal.? Zechs finally lifted his head. Tears were stinging at the edge of his eyes and Noin for the first time saw Zechs shed tears.
Grabbing him by the arms, she held him. Held him like if she didn?t, he would die from heartache.
?Relena, please. Be safe.? Zechs held firm in his grip around his wife.
~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Black feathers fluttered around as birds were perched up in the trees right above her but Relena didn?t seem fazed by them anymore. After what Kalli had said about the birds protecting her, it made her think maybe they were doing the same for her.
Walking down the patchy road, Relena finally figured this was outside of the mansion. She could see a window, light pouring out from it; a figure standing right in front of it.
?Dameon.?
Relena wanted to duck but she wasn?t even sure if he could see her. He was staring outward towards the sea, oblivious to anything else. A pair of pale arms snakes around his midsection and he willingly back into them.
Looking down the path where mist seemed to cover a clear view of what was down there, Relena started to walk down. Maybe she could find a way out of here before actually escaping. She knew this was just a dream but still. The dreams seemed just about accurate so far.
A bird flew right out from a tree and swung right in her face causing Relena to stumble backwards. It swung around again this time close enough to Relena to snatch her by a piece of her dress. Flapping its wings it continued to pull her up just it could push her the other way.
The sudden attack left Relena shaken but she stood up and walked in the direction the bird was pulling her. Crazy, she thought, but still a possible way out.
?Okay bird, where in the world are you leading me?? They had been trudging along the pathway the bird insisted in going for more than fifteen minutes.
It continued down the path, ignoring her question but keeping its distance from her short. Probably making sure she kept following it.
The sound of rushing water and a slapping sound caught Relena?s attention and immediately she knew where she was going. The sea.
?Why are you taking me here?? Relena walked down toward the shoreline and kicked at some of the sand. ?Look you, if you were trying to divert me from that path so I wasn?t escaping, you?re going to be sorry.? Pointing a finger at the bird, Relena started to go back but the bird flew past her and then stood in her face again, flapping its wings like it was having a heart attack.
?What the-! Are you insane?? Relena backed up a bit, shielding her face with her hands. The bird continued to flap its wings; it really didn?t want her to go down that way. But why?
?Get. I have to get out of this place and get to-? Relena stopped suddenly. A voice; it was thick and masculine. It sounded so familiar like an old song she had been dying to hear for so long.
Relena turned around toward the mist. Nothing had changed except the receding tides slowing down. ?Just my imagination playing tricks on me.? She assured herself and turned back to leave.
The voice called out again and Relena felt a chill run up her spine. Turning around again all she could see was mist and was about to leave and ignore the noise this time when the mist started to change and form.
?What the-? The form continued to change until the form was complete; a human. Relena squinted hard; she could only make out so much until the mist started dissipate.
?Who is that?? Relena started to go a little closer; not too close not knowing if it was an enemy and finally she could see facial features. The brunette locks that slightly covered his eyes, the dark blue eyes that could pierce a person?s soul.
?Heero?? Relena blinked but the image of him didn?t fade or perish. ?Oh my god, Heero!? Relena ran the rest of the way toward the man. She could feel all the built up anxiety start to dissolve.
Since the time she had been kidnapped, she hadn?t felt this excited to see such a familiar face as this. When she was in the car with them in the vision all she wanted to do was grab Heero and hold him until he held her back with the same ferocity. The fact that it was all an illusion and she really wasn?t sitting right behind him almost shattered her.
But wait?what if this Heero is the same thing? What if Heero is just another vision and not the real thing? Relena?s speed started decreases. What if he wasn?t Heero? It could be a trick.
When Relena suddenly cease to move, Heero moved the rest of way to her. Closing all the distance they had between them and grabbed the back of her neck, pulling her head slightly farther back and kissed her.
Even if it was a trick, Relena couldn?t seem to pull away. It felt just too real, too good to let go of him whether he be real or not.
She couldn?t, wouldn?t let go of him as he continued to kiss her for all she was.
?Heero?? She breathed breathlessly. Tears were now ready to spill, uncaring if they were welcomed to fall or not.
Brushing a few strands from her face, Heero stared at her eyes. They glistened to life just like they had when he first met her. ?Relena?I?m so sorry. I wasn?t there to protect you from-? She silenced him with her lips then placed her head against his chest.
?Are you real? Am I really holding on to you now or is this another trick?? She closed her eyes; not wanting to believe it was just another illusion.
?Too be honest, I don?t really know. It feels so real but. Just a few moments ago I was climbing and then I heard your voice and then I was here calling back to you.? Heero brushed her hair down as he pampered her, feeling the warmth she emitted to his body. He never wanted to forget this feeling. The soft skin that felt like moonlight, golden silk hair that spilled over her small framed shoulders; he never wanted to let go.
?If this really is a dream then I never want it to end, Heero.? Relena pulled back and kissed his lips again. This time though they weren?t urgent as they first were. They sought out comfort and pleasure but not lust. He moaned lightly into her mouth when her tongue lightly brushed past his.
?Heero, please.? Relena pressed her lips to his neck and sucked lightly. ?I don?t want to feel alone anymore.?
Passion or pleasure what ever it was, Heero felt like all the emotions had been built up to now; to finally feel Relena and for her to feel him.
Slipping his hand behind her hair, he unzipped the dress that clung to her body; it fell slack in the front, letting Heero brush his lips against the top of one breast that had been exposed.
?Heero?? Relena whispered, her fingers already starting to flow into his lush brown hair as he kissed lower on her bosom.
Their bodies pressed up against each other as Heero went for another searing kiss on Relena?s luscious lips. She moaned in his mouth when his fingers started to pick off the rest of the dress in the front until it fell to the skirt. Gorgeous, he thought as he examined her beauty.
He should tell her about what the maniacs are calling her. Tell her all the information that needs to be told. Let her know that everything will be all right.
Relena dug her nails in his back and the thoughts that had been running a mile a minute were thrown to the wind.
She was clawing at the front of his shirt, trying to get the black button down to open. It only took her a few seconds to finally unbutton it before pushing it off his shoulders. Leaning back, Relena let the rest of the dress fall down so it pooled around her feet. Heero sucked in a breath of air, unable to speak. His fingers stumbling, pushed back some of her hair and kissed her neck then kissed farther down on her navel.
Relena?s eyes closed, her fingers molding into his shoulders while he continued to kiss down her body. The wind blew a gust making chills run up her spine. ?Heero, is this a good idea?? Instinctively she looked around the surroundings but was caught short by Heero tongue lavishing her body.
Another moan escaped her lips; her knees buckled almost taking her down into the sand. Her fingers stumbled for Heero?s pant zipper; just as she unzipped he pulled her hands away and raised them over her head. Grabbing the skin tight slip over her head he kissed her softly on her lips and pulled back to look at her eyes. Swirling Blue Ocean, that?s what they resembled: electrifying yet steady as a beating heart.
Stepping out of his pants, Heero wrapped his arms around Relena and slowly descended to the sandy ground.
?Relena, I just wanted to tell you that?
?I know.? Relena ran her hand down his long handsome face. ?You don?t have to tell me. I can see it in those eyes of yours that haven?t changed.?
He captured her lips again and stayed that way. That one single kiss that told the world they were in love and nothing would ever stop them from loving one another.
As they parted Heero pushed the rest of his jeans down and then his underpants then went for Relena?s undergarments. Looking up at her angelic face that started to flush, he waited for a sign that told him she didn?t want anymore, that she wasn?t ready. He was met with none and he slowly slipped inside of her. All the while his eyes were trained on hers. He wasn?t going to turn away; he wasn?t going to close his eyes as she felt the pain of her virginity being ripped.
Relena?s fingers tightened on Heero?s shoulder as he planted himself inside her. Sucking in a deep breath, she squinted slightly but wouldn?t close her eyes. She wanted to look into Heero?s eyes the whole time.
After a few moments, Relena nodded and Heero started to move his hips slowly and careful not to hurt her more. At first the pain persisted and she could almost feel numbness but then as Heero continued to pump his hips back and forth another feeling in the pit of her stomach started to grow between her legs. The pain was overtaken by this sudden feeling of being pushed off of a cliff and plummeting into pleasure.
Relena took another hard breath and Heero almost thought he hurt her until she started to thrust at Heero?s hips, trying to sync in time with each of his.
The pressure between her legs progressed faster and Relena almost had to keep herself from jumping off the ground from the sudden rush that was taking over her body. Pushing himself farther in then before Relena clamped down on Heero?s cock and almost knocked the wind out of him.
He growled when he finally felt the pressure build up himself and started to pump faster before he climaxed before he could take Relena there. Pulling almost completely out, he took one hardened nipple into his mouth and rubbed his tongue over and around it as he plunged into Relena to the hilt.
A rush ran up her spine as she screamed her climax, her legs tightening around Heero?s waist. Hot liquid spilled down onto Heero, leaving a hot trial of her orgasm on his hardened cock that was screaming for its own release. He pulled out again this time grabbed both sides of Relena?s waist, lifting her off the ground just enough so her lower region was in mid air, then slammed into her with full force.
Relena closed her eyes tightly as her legs squeezed on Heero?s cock making him orgasm along with her. Their chests raged as Heero hovered above her, leaving butterfly kisses all the way up her chest and then a chaste kiss on her mouth.
Both looked at one another and Relena pulled her arms around Heero?s back and hugged him to her chest. ?Heero, don?t let go. Whatever you do?don?t let go.? Relena whispered as the tears started to fill her words. She never wanted to let go of him, never wanted to feel alone and always wanted to feel this pleasure of being with him; this love.
?Don?t let go.?
