Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Demon Seed ❯ Chapter 6

GW and its characters don't belong to me but to Sunrise/SOTSU Agency Bandai etc. etc.

Okay, here nothing major as of yet. Heero's libido comes out and Relena gets drunk, and well, then I just leave you to the next chapter and whenever that gets finished. Some sexual suggestiveness in this chapter.

*************************

"Here's your soup you two."

"Thank you Duo."

"Yea, yea, no problem. Now I gotta go, but see ya later." He exited the room quickly.

"What's he in a hurry for?"

Relena looked at Hilde, she had sensed the boy's thoughts, but could not bring herself to tell her friend, who she knew was actually in love with Duo.

"Probably with Heero and that other man, Wufei."

"Well, I suppose he needs male companionship. Besides, he will be back later."

Yes, much later, thought Relena as she brought a wooden spoon up to her lips to slurp her soup. She made a face and looked down into the bowl. "I think this needs salt. I'll run down real quick and get some."

"Be careful, Relena, that inn keeper looks scary."

Relena nodded her head as she closed the door behind her, confident that as long as Heero was there she was perfectly safe. She had taken the first few steps down the stairs and looked over the railing. She knit her brows together in disgust seeing Duo in a booth, a petite red head sitting beside him, her arm around his shoulders. She took another two steps but then halted her decent feeling heartbroken at the next sight she saw.

Heero was sitting at a middle table and on his lap was the blond he had been eyeing before. Her hands were rubbing the crotch of his breeches while his hands groped her breasts. They were kissing wildly, and empty steins littered the table. She couldn't draw her eyes away from them and then, the worst thing in her mind happened, they locked onto each other's gaze.

Relena tried to mask the horror and hurt that must have been showing on her face, but he seemed not to have noticed, as his gaze remained glued to hers. The kiss Heero was sharing with the woman suddenly deepened and grew more violent. Gasping the seventeen-year old clutched her chest as she felt a wave of pure, white-hot energy she could not describe rush through her body, broken only when the woman he was mulling pulled away from him.

"Hey, if you want that it'll cost you a little more."

"Don't worry, I can pay." He rose from the chair and taking the woman with him they quickly made their way up the stairs breezing past Relena, who was still too shocked to move.

She closed her blue green eyes, forcing herself to continue on down the stairs, though once down at the bottom she had forgot the reason she was there. She side stepped out of the way allowing Duo, who didn't seem to notice her, and the woman he was with to pass her and continue up the steps. She clenched her jaw and swallowed a scream wondering if all men were so shallow and lewd.

"If I were you I would forget this infatuation you have on Heero, it'll only hurt you in the end."

She turned to Wufei. "Who said anything about me having feelings for Heero?" He motioned her over to sit at his table. She released her sigh and reluctantly complied and sat across from him. Looking into his eyes, she realized he wasn't buying into her denial and she grew defensive. "Even if I do have what you call an infatuation with Heero, I see how he really is. He is a selfish liar, a cad and a whore."

"Good summery of him, I'd say. Of course, in a few years, if you still feel the same, I'm sure he could fit you in somewhere, for to him all women are fair game." The Chinese man dipped his piece of bread down into his soup bowl and took a bite.

An arrogant, indignant look spread across Relena's face. "I would never be like those dumb little harlots who he chooses to warm his bed at night."

"No, something tells me you wouldn't be. Well, aren't you going to ask me why I'm not up in a room with some strange woman?"

She shook her head and smiled. "You aren't that type of man. You have more honor, besides you already have a woman at home who you love more then anything on this earth."

Wufei stopped his chewing and swallowed immediately. "Seems your powers of perceiving others thoughts is getting stronger. It will benefit you greatly in your life."

"So Heero told you about me?"

"Said you were a half breed of vampire and human like he is, and that you're only seventeen as are those who travel with you."

"Why did he tell you about me at all?"

He pushed his now empty bowl away and took a sip of his ale, he couldn't let on right now that Heero was leaving and so he merely shrugged his shoulders. Not entirely satisfied with his reaction and noticing suddenly that it was hard to read him, she rescinded and asked the age of Heero.

"Two hundred-ten. It amazes me he's made it this far at times."

"My goodness. What does one do all of those years?"

"You just saw it Eena, well as far as Heero's case goes. A lot of grog, a lot of women and a good old brawl every now and then."

"If he is that old, and you taught him how to use a sword, then, are you like us?"

"No. I'm merely a werewolf and, my faithfulness is due to our nature, as does the full-blooded wolf, we mate for life. I just turned five hundred this month, if you're curious."

Relena's eyes grew slightly wide with curiosity. "Then, do you?"

"Turn into a wolf on the nights there are full moons? Yes, I do. But we can transform any time we wish. So can my wife. She's a kind, gentle, woman, but do not ever get her angry. Now," he rose to his feet and offered Relena his hand, "shall I escort you back up to your room."

"Oh, you go ahead, I just remembered I need to get some salt first."

Wufei was on his feet and bowed slightly. "As you wish malady. I shall see you in the morning then."

"Yes, sir, good night." Relena then got out of the booth and stepped over to the bar while Wufei trotted up the stairs.

A different man was attending and unlike the owner, he was a younger man and looked about in his mid-twenties. Relena sensed a warm kindness from him. He gave her salt, along with a large long necked flask. "Sweet ale, after all, the salt will make you thirsty." She nodded her head slightly, took the bottle and then thanked him, heading up the stairs hoping that her soup didn't taste too horribly when it was cold.

**********

Milliardo found his night to be a restless one. Hurt and sorrow filled his heart as he dwelled on the words of his father. Rage as well hardened his soul even more when he thought of his mother abandoning him for his sister. Had he always been so insignificant and disappointing in their eyes? He thought it strange how a sister he did not even really remember was forever bringing his life such grief. Part of him hoped that Relena was alive so that he could kill her. He rolled over onto his back and stared up at the ceiling, a somewhat small but sinister smile creeping on his lips. Kill Relena, frame Treize for the murder, then, slay Treize and come back into the good graces of his father, only to end the king's life as well, when he would least expect it.

"No one takes from me what is rightfully mine." He whispered the words and the finalizing of what he had decided he would do had calmed him enough so that when he closed his eyes he was able to fall asleep in slumbering bliss.

*****************************

Relena sighed, feeling extremely lucid and calm. She giggled to herself for no apparent reason and took the last gulp from the bottle of sweet ale that had been given to her by the attendant. She looked over at Hilde who had passed out quite a while ago and was sleeping heavily curled up into a ball on the floor.

"That can't be comfortable, sister dear." The taller girl mumbled as she rose to her feet. She picked up her friend and placed her on the bed, sitting on the edge of it herself. She rubbed her tired eyes, figuring that the only reason she was still conscious was due to her vampire blood. A slight tickling heat crossed her body and deciding she needed some air, she once again hoisted herself onto her legs and made it to the door. "I'll be come back later, Hilde." She whispered to her inebriated, comatose friend as she slipped out the door, closed it and locked it behind her.

Within a few moments she once again found herself at the bottom of the stairs, the place had been for the most part abandoned except for maybe for a few of the locals.

"Do you need something?"

"Huh?" She turned to look at the bar and saw the young man earlier who had been so kind to her. "I'm thirsty, and a little warm." Her brain was fuzzy and she found herself not being able to concentrate on anything except her two feet that were making their way towards him as he held out to her a glass of water. She drank it quickly and thanked him.

"My pleasure." She didn't notice at all the way he was looking her body up and down, though he averted his eyes quickly when Duo trotted down the steps.

"Eena, do you have the key?"

She took a shaky step back and looked at him, her face contorted with anger. "Why should I even talk to you, after, after, you know, the red head?"

"Oh her, um, well," Duo sunk his chin to his chest sheepishly and crossed his arms over his chest. "I, couldn't, I mean I could, it's just that, I decided I didn't want to."

"Oh that is so wonderful!" She flung her arms around Duo's neck. "I knew you really love Hildie!"

The young man narrowed his eyes and the smell of sweetened grog filled his nostrils. He slowly peeled Relena from him and held her by the shoulders, looking into her glassy eyes. "Eena, are you, drunk?"

She nodded her head, "I think so." Then, pulling away from Duo, she gestured with her arm to the other man. "He was so kind to give us something to drink, free even."

The look in the man's brown eyes matched perfectly with the leering grin he threw to Duo. "As I said it was my pleasure. And the name is Gierstan."

Not liking him at all, Duo spoke in the sternest, toughest voice he could muster. "I think we should go back to the room, Relena."

"Oh yes, of course, but first I have to." A slight blush crept in her cheeks before she continued. "I have to, well, you know, is there a facility here in which to relieve oneself?"

"We have pots in every room but considering your dire need, feel free to use the one we have in the back room.

"Oh thank you." Relena gushed. "You are very kind." She spun on her heel and walked to the back room, leaving Duo and Gierstan facing off.

"Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. What else was in that ale? What did you do to my friends?"

The much taller and stronger man grabbed Duo by the throat. "I don't have to tell you shit. But know this, by the end of the night your little blond friend in the back will lose to me what you chose not to lose to Constance."

Duo tried to curse and yell for help but he found himself being strangled by Gierstan and those around him were doing nothing to help him. He struggled, his feet wiggling as they dangled in the air. Suddenly, feeling light headed and somewhat nauseas, he fainted. The older man placed him down in one of the booths and looked around the barroom, telling those still there that he was not to be disturbed. And cracking his knuckles, the blonde haired man opened the door to the back room, entered it, and then shut the door behind him; all was quiet.
