A Second Chance.13 R (2xR)

AN: Hello everyone! I know that I said that I'd have this up like last week but alot of crap happened! Gomen nansai! Anyway, now that I've given you a few fluff filled chapters, I thought that I'd add a little drama to make things interesting. The prayer idea is not originally mine. I got it from Fear No Evil written by Lilias as part of the Complicated Arc, which is one of my personal favs. So thank you Lilias for the great idea. I did change it a little so that it wouldn't be blatant plagerisim and so that it would fit this story. Anyways, that's enough for now. I'll let you get on with the story. Enjoy!
A Second Chance
Chapter 13
By: Fate Lowe
*****
When the new couple returned, life went on without them telling anybody about them. For almost a year everything was normal. About a week before Duo?s birthday, he returned home to find the door kicked in, apartment trashed, and Relena gone. He called her cell phone, which rang in the other room. He hung up and called Une at Preventers HQ.
?Yes, Maxwell, what is it??
?She?s gone!? he yelled frantically.
?What are you talking about??
?I came home and it?s trashed. Relena?s gone and her cell is here.?
?Take statements from everybody. Get the footage from security and get back here. This is now official Preventer business. I?ll gather everybody by the time you get here.?
*****
?Preventers are looking for this person. If anyone has any information they are asked to contact Preventers Headquarters in the Sanc Kingdom.?
Heero looked at the screen. He jumped out of his desk chair and slammed his hands down on his desk. His boss, who was walking down the hall, peeked in.
?Anything wrong, Lowe??
?I?ve only been gone a year and already he?s fucked up.? he mumbled before grabbing his jacket and rushing out of his office.
?Lowe! Where are you going??
?I?m taking a vacation!? he yells as he pushed open the door and disappears outside.
*****
Duo slammed through the doors of the conference room. Everyone turned expectantly.
?Nobody was home when she was taken. It seems like the entire building was empty.?
He tossed a disk to Une.
?That?s the security feed. I watched it before coming. Wait ?til you see who it looks like.?
Une put the disk into the computer which automatically started playing on the large screen on the opposite wall.
The figure moved through the shadows until it reached the apartment. It stood in front of the door, listening for a second before stepping back and kicking in the door. The hood, which had been pulled low over the assailants face, flew off revealing a wild shock of dark brown hair.
When the man emerged from the apartment, with Relena, they watched him closer. His movements were identical to?
?Heero Yuy!? everyone screamed.
?But he thinks she?s dead. What the hell is going on?? Une said, looking directly at Duo.
?Well, you see, the thing is, he knew before he left.?
?What!? How!??
?I don?t know. He seemed calm about it though. I mean hell, it?s been a year! Why wait that long??
?I don?t know and I don?t care. We will start searching for him now. This room will be HQ for this mission. Everyone who is not on Preventer payroll will be issued temporary badges and clearance for anything you need. Let?s get to work.?
Everyone went to work looking for any kind of trail that might lead them to the elusive former Gundam pilot.
*****
Relena woke up slowly. Her head was spinning and her body felt heavy. As her memory returned, she remembered her predicament. She shot up off the floor as the reinforced steel door slid open.
?So you?re awake.?
Her captor walked farther into the dark concrete room. Relena stood in the middle of the room stock still. She showed no fear as he stopped in front of her and reached out to touch her cheek.
?You really are quite beautiful. It?s no wonder he is so enamored with you.?
?Who are you talking about?? Relena asked, feigning ignorance.
He smirked.
?Well, Mr. Maxwell of course. I knew you?d be the perfect bait for this particular prey. Pity that the bait always dies. Better start saying your prayers now.?
He turned to walk away. He was just about to close the door when a dark chuckle made him turn around. Relena stood with her back to him.
?You want to hear my prayers??
She looked over her shoulder and smirked before turning around and walking towards him.
?As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear nothing. For I am Death?s mistress and Shinigami shall laugh when he comes for you.?
She stopped right in front of him, threw her head back and started laughing. He left and slammed the door behind him. He leaned against it, trembling, as maniacal laughter rang throughout the hallway.

AN: Thank you for reading. Please let me know what you think. I am already working on the next chapter although I'm not gonna put a timeframe on it since I seem to be so bad at the whole deadline thing. Anyways, 'til next time. Ja.
