Natural Instincts
Chapter 3

Heero stood staring and yet not seeing what was in front of him. His blue eyes shimmered an eerie bluish purple like no other. The girls just stared at the dripping wet figured with flushed faces. Serena wanted more then ever to just rush into her loves arms and hold him close, but she could sense the discomfort and confusion within him. Mina slowly made her way to her side, keeping her eyes locked on the stranger. Gently placing her hand on Serena's shoulder, she squeezed it softly in order to get the princesses attention. Neither one wanted to lose sights of the man before them but questions needed to be answered and Mina sure had a few of them.

"Serena!?" She whispered softly in her ear, while brushing her own hair out of her face.

"Y… Yes." Serena stuttered, her eyes still locked on Heero.

"Who is he?" The girl pointed with her right index finger at the now glowing form of the wing zero pilot.

Serena opened her mouth to answer but before she could, Heero began to fade in and out and just as fast as he appeared he was gone. /Heero?/ The only thing the showed he was there was the huge puddle on the carpet. Serena ran to where he last stood and fell to the ground sobbing. Her hands moved without much thought and touched the wet liquid that was once on her loves naked body. Rubbing it between her fingers she could feel the power that was now coursing through his veins. She smiled and then quickly frowned as she knew the danger he would be in now. There was no way the blonde could find him now, he was to fast and unpredictable to trace let alone get a hold of unless he wanted you too. Sighing she stood back up and stared at her best friend with a tear stained face.

"Mina, I'm sorry." She walked over and hugged her tightly for reassurance.

"For what princess?" The other blonde hugged back as she winced from hearing the loud curses from behind the door.

"For lying to you." She whimpered into her neck and silently shook from the sobs.

"Tell me what's wrong Serena. Maybe I can help." Mina pulled away from her but still held her arms and smiled warmly.

Serena nodded and they both headed for the bed and sat down. The soft bed bounced and screeched under the new pressure, while Serena wiped her now red eyes with her dress sleeve. Mina patiently waited for her to continue and didn't pester her for answers. She knew Serena could be stubborn sometimes, so she decided to let her begin under her own circumstances. A loud crash signaled the prince was still waiting for her to open the door, but she could feel the urgency in what the blonde princess needed to discuss. Two set of eyes glared at the door and then returned to the conversation at hand.

"Mina, that guy…" Serena started as new tears fell down her rosy cheeks. Her lips quivered as she tried to get the story out.

"Yes!" She placed her hand on top of Serena's and gently squeezed it for some reassurance.

"The man that was here, was Heero." She spat out and began crying exponentially.

"So that's Heero. He's very handsome." Mina smiled at her to try and cheer her friend up.

"Yeah, but that's not all." She giggled a little from imagining Heero in a towel again, and then cringed at what she was about to tell her.

/Can I trust her? I don't know, she is my best friend and all, but this is Heero we're talking about. Oh gods, I'm so confused./ She shook her head and then stared at Mina with her blue eyes. Brushing a piece of hair out of her face and then just grasping the end of another she took a huge breath. She kept breathing deeply to calm her nerves while twirling her own piece of blonde hair for five minutes until she finally spoke up again.

"I have to tell you something about him Mina, but you have to promise that you will never tell anyone. No one must know what I'm about to tell you. NO ONE!! Do you understand?" Mina nodded.

"Promise me, I need an oral promise on this one Mina. Trust me, please." Her eyes flickered with conviction as she waited for her answer.

"I promise Serena. I will never tell a soul about this for as long as I live." Serena searched her eyes for clarity and truthfulness. Seeing it in her friend's eyes she stood up abruptly and paced back and forth.

"Thank you, I've wanted to tell you for so long, but he wouldn't let me." She continued to pace as her voice staggered.

"You can trust me princess. I am here for you and always will be." Mina smiled and ushered her to continue, getting a little impatient now.

"This is kind of hard to explain. Even I don't know the full truth, only Heero does. But from what he told me, I believe him." She began and tried to think of how to proceed. Taking another long breath she stopped and looked into her friend's eyes again. "Heero is... well it's hard to explain what he really is but the closest I can think of to make you understand is he is the Keeper of All."

"What???" Mina looked at her strangely raising an eyebrow.

Serena rolled her eyes and turned away. She knew this wouldn't be easy to explain but at the moment she was tongue-tied. Stealthily she made her way to a table and picked up a glass and pitcher and poured herself a drink. Bringing the crystal to her red lips, she closed her eyes and drank the whole glasses contents in one swig. Gently she placed the crystal glass back down and turned back to her confused friend. /Damn it Heero you should be explaining this to her. But since your not you yet I guess I'll have to./

"The Keeper of All, isn't a real title but it's the closest I could think of to help you understand. What he is really doesn't have a name, but I'll try and explain it to you." She paused letting this little tiff be digested.

"Um.." She drum rolled her nails on the table. "Heero is well, a being that can control time, space at any given time. He is one and the same with the universe. He became into existence when time began and has forever been watching out for the universes best interests." She stalled a bit not really knowing if that info was correct or not.

"I still don't understand." She laughed embarrassedly while bouncing on the bed.

"I figured you wouldn't." The long blonde haired women paced again, dragging her silver dress with her. "This should help. Heero is the one being in this realm or any other realm that can destroy or make planets. He decides what life is worth keeping alive and which should be extinguished. You see…" She closed her eyes and breathed in deeply again and sat down on the bed. " Heero is the guardian of all things living in this whole place. Everything we know of and don't know of he does. He has complete control over everything and it is his duty and birth right to keep things in order. I don't know if that helped you out but, I just can't explain it any better." Serena lay back on the bed tossing her hands over her eyes.

"Ok, if he's all that then why was he on Earth and then just popped up here." Mina stared off into space thinking.

"We first met on Earth one night a long time ago, and since then we have kept in contact. He trusted me enough and told me who he really was so I told him who I was." She heard Mina gasp.

"Don't worry Mina, if he wanted to harm us all he would have to do was think about it and it would happen in seconds."

"And you say don't worry." The girl frowned.

"See that's the problem. He's currently just regaining his memories of who he is and if we don't find him and bring him back here we could all be in deep shit, literally." She plopped up from her laying position and ran her fingers across her comforter for comfort.

"How did he lose them anyway, if he's that powerful." Mina picked at a piece of lint on her shirt.

"Every so often Heero decides to become human for awhile. The form we see isn't his true form but it's the one he uses the most often. He really doesn't have a solid body but when he does he looks like we just saw. This time, he became human to help out in the war. He knew they would need his help and since he can't die or get hurt he figured it was the best option."

"That still…" Mina started but was cut off by a finger placed on her lips.

"Don't you ever want to be someone different and forget about your troubles. We can't possibly know the full extent of Heero's existence and life's pressures, so he chose to forget for a time. Once the time came near, he told me to come to him again in a few years when things have settled down and then all shall be returned. I never knew what would happen, all he told me was to kiss him and then everything would be intertwined back in his memory banks." She fell back on the bed again, tired from these whole day's events.

"I'll buy that, it's still wired to know he exists." She shuttered draping her arms around her chest..

"That's why we have to find him. If someone else finds him while he's still unaware of his true being he could easily be swayed to do anything." She growled at the thought of someone controlling her love.

"And how pray tell do you suggest we find him. You saw him just appear and then disappear. How do you expect us to track him?" Mina looked at her friend questionably

"I don't know, I just don't know." Serena repeated over and over again pounding her little fists into the flush mattress.

Both girls just stared at the ceiling thinking about what was just said. Each of their brains were about to fry when Mina got an idea. Jumping up from her sitting position, she grasped Serena's hand and pulled her up.

"I have an idea, maybe the other scouts can help and if not you said he was on Earth so someone there should know him. Someone should be able to know his favorite hang outs and such." She stated quickly dancing around the room and dragging Serena with her.

"Well, it's a start. Tomorrow though, I'm too pooped." She placed a hand on her forehead palm side up and pretended to faint. Both girls laughed at her antics and continued on their discussion on how to find Heero.

~*~

Outside the door a dark haired man, still clutching his wounded foot grinned evilly. Having heard all of the girl's discussion he used this to his advantage. Grabbing a hold one of the broken vase stands he pulled himself up. Eyes narrowed as he stared at the closed door and he began to laugh.

"Soon Serena, you will be mine. Once I find this Heero character there will be nothing strong enough to take you away from me." Grinning widely he limped off into the darkness. Plans upon plans formed in his evil and perverted brain.

"Soon my princess!" he smashed the broken shards under his feet as he howled is last warning.
