Every Breath You Take
Chapter 7


Relena rushed out of Trowa's tent to find a costume to wear for the act.

"Catherine… don't forget who she really is."

"I wish I could!"

"I'm responsible for her safety."

"Are you accusing me of something? Do you think me capable of hurting her?!" Catherine's voice kept escalating.`

Trowa's voice remained level and reasonable, "I'm just saying that your animosity towards her has been obvious and I wouldn't want a slip of the fingers in a fit of jealousy."

"I'm not jealous!" Catherine stormed out.

Trowa smiled to himself. Why are you so angry then? You can't excuse this with concern for my life! Catherine… could it be that you love me too? Hmm., if this was Catherine's reaction, I wonder what's Heero's, I'm sure he saw the kiss. Trowa looked at his watch, hmm, he should be arriving in about an hour after the show to kill me. The thought of this did not perturb Trowa but made his smile widen.

>>>>>>>>>

Relena wondered about the wisdom of putting herself in this position, she was spread in eagle and looking down at a very angry woman, who seemed intent on killing her. It had seemed so easy when Trowa did it! But her stomach was tied up in knots, I don't wanna die like this! Dressed like a clown and in front of a crowd! Oh, Heero where are you when I need you?

Another knife whisked impossibly closed and stuck close to her right hand. Catherine's grin made Relena want to cry. She knows I'm suffering!

Catherine was giddy with the exhilaration, Oh, yes! Nothing can beat throwing knifes at your competition! She didn't really mean to hurt her but she was sure enjoying torturing her, the fear in her eyes was balm to her wounded pride.

An then the last knife was thrown, falling so close to Relena's face that the crowd was stunned into silence. When locks from Relena's hair fell to the ground the crowd came out of itss stupor and howled in appreciation.

Relena felt as if she was about to faint, she didn't think she could walk and curtsy, her legs felt like jelly. Catherine took her hand, pulled her to the spotlight and curtsied. Relena just stumbled after her and could just barely stand, forget about the curtsy. The ringmaster could see that the girl was shaken so he quickly took the spotlight for himself and announced the next act.

Catherine felt a little guilty, at least enough to help the shaken Relena back to the trailer.

Trowa felt his presence immediately and opened his eyes to greet his visitor. He stood up, but that wasn't a good idea, the visitor just closed on him and punched him in the stomach, hard. Trowa grunted and the fight was on. When Catherine and Relena arrived they were wrestling on the floor. Trowa was in disadvantage, after all he hadn't the time to recuperate from the last toss up.

Catherine rushed to the scene, grabbed a stool and hit the attacker in the back, he quickly slumped.

"Trowa! Are you okay?" Catherine then ran to Trowa and tried to help him back to the bed.

Relena remained in shock until she recognized the attacker, "Heeeroooo! Catherine, how could you?" She sank to the floor and cradled Heero's head to her chest. Heero opened his eyes and glared at Catherine.

"How could I? How could I? You… you…," she pointed at Heero, "Trowa gets hurt protecting YOUR girlfriend and then you dare to come here and attack him? Arg! Take her and get OUT of here!!"

Heero considered getting up and continuing the fight, but he felt too comfortable nuzzling to Relena's chest, besides strategically his mission had been accomplished, Relena had rushed to his side not Trowa's, who was in worst shape. Yup! This was a mission complete.

>>>>>>

After Relena had taken a leaning Heero out of Trowa's trailer, Catherine rounded on Trowa, "YOU, you were fighting for her, weren't you? Are you nuts? She is not one of us! Where you planning on leaving with her? And now look at you! You won't be able to work for a week…"

Trowa stood up grabbed Catherine and kissed her hard.

Catherine sputtered, "What? What are you…?"

"Shut up, Catherine," he kissed her hard again and pushed her towards the bed. He kept kissing her while he sat astride of her. He slowly lifted her hands and tied them with one of the silk scarves that he had for magic tricks. He then tied the scarf to the top of the bed. Catherine's emotions were in such turmoil that she didn't realize what he was doing, until he stopped kissing her and quickly moved to grab one of her ankles, which he tied too, following with the next one.

"Catherine… you have been a naughty girl… I think you need to be punished…," whispered Trowa in her ear. Catherine's eyes widened in a mixture of fear and passion.

>>>>>>>

Relena gently helped Heero to lie down on the bed. "Don't worry Heero, I'll change and pack up quickly. I want to get away from that loony too."

Heero remained still with his eyes closed. Relena softly kissed him in his brow and went to change. She started to strip behind a screen, Heero peeked under his eyelashes watching with interest the silhouette formed on the screen. After changing, she quickly started throwing her clothing inside her suitcases.

When she got to her jewelry box she hesitated for a moment. She sat down in front of the dresser and took off the locket that Quatre had given her, she opened it and smiled at the memory and then gently put it the jewelry box. She took out the necklace that Heero had given her and put it on.

Heero who had been spying through his eyelashes felt victorious once again. Yes… mission complete.

>>>>>>>>>

Once in the shuttle, Relena thought for a while and asked him, "Heero, why where you fighting with Trowa?"

"He wasn't protecting you adequately, those ruffians shouldn't have been able to get so close."

"Hmm, I see." She pondered this for some time.

"How's the job going? Any problems?"

Heero relaxed, obviously she had believed his explanation. "No, no problems, just a lot of boring research," he reassured her.

"Oh!" Relena smiled a little, "Heero?"

"What?"

"How long does it take to fly from the Earth to this colony?"

Heero sensed a trap, but couldn't put his finger on it. "About three hours."

"I see… then how could you tell that Trowa wasn't taking good care of me, the fight with the ruffians was about two hours ago, you would have been in mid-flight?"
