Everything I Own

Song by: *N Sync

AC 197

You sheltered me from harm
You kept me warm

You kept me warm

"Yo!!! HEERO!!! Earth to Heero Yuy!! There's someone at the frikken door for you, man!!" Duo shouted across the apartment. Heero rolled his eyes.

"I can hear you, Duo. Who is it?" He called back, letting the note of impatience and irritation into his voice.

"Who are you?" He could hear Duo asking.

"Frank Davison. I have a message for Heero Yuy."

"Hear that, buddy?" Duo called.

"Hai. Let him in." Heero called. Heero got up from his desk and stood in the middle of the living room to wait. Following Duo into the room was a dark haired soldier. Heero felt a little surprised. The man saluted him. Heero merely nodded.

"I have a message from Dr. J." The man said. Heero raised an eyebrow. From behind the soldier, Heero could see Duo draw his gun just in case.

"Dr. J died." Heero said. Frank Davison nodded.

"He left orders for me to come after the war."

Heero nodded, gesturing toward the couch. Davison shook his head. "This won't take long." Duo shrugged, put the gun away and stepped into the kitchen and Heero could hear him messing around with pans, opening and closing the fridge, and slamming cabinet doors.

"Could you keep it DOWN over there?" Heero snapped with playful annoyance.

"Sor-RY!" Duo retorted.

You gave my life to me
You set me free

You set me free

Heero grinned before returning attention to Davison. "So?" Heero asked.

"There are orders for you to meet with a woman named Hanake Raleigh. She's currently in a colony nearby, but willing to come here." Davison said.

"Why?"

Davison looked in his pocket. He brought out a letter. "This isn't very descriptive...he wrote it on the back of a napkin." Davison mused. "We tried to make out what we could. 'Heero Yuy, you are to meet with your last living blood relative, Hanake Raleigh(1). Mrs. Raleigh is your mother.'"

Heero blinked. And blinked again. Only a sudden crash in the kitchen brought him back to life. He looked back to Duo and saw the boy watching them, wide-eyed and his jaw hanging down to his clerical collar.

"Mother?" Heero questioned softly. Davison nodded.

"That's what it says." Davison handed him the letter/napkin. He saluted a final time and dismissed himself. The apartment was very still for a long time. Then Duo rushed up to him.

"You mother is ALIVE?" He shrieked. Heero shrugged numbly. He looked down at the letter.

"'Heero Yuy, you are to meet with your last living blood relative, Hanake Raleigh. Mrs. Raleigh is your mother.'" Heero repeated dully. "I guess she is."

"Don't you CARE?" Duo shrieked. Heero sank to the ground, clutching the letter/napkin.

"I...don't know..." He breathed.

The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you


"What do you mean, 'You don't know'?" Duo asked, getting down to eye-level with him. "Heero...this makes you the only one of us who has a parent still living. Quatre and Trowa have their sisters and thats about it. You have your mother. God, Heero!! Tell me what you're thinking, damn it!!"

"If I have a mother...why am I Heero Yuy?" He whispered into the air.

He wasn't asking Duo...he was asking God.

And I would give everything I own
I'd give up my life, my heart, my home

~~~~~

Only a colony away, Hanake received a call. "Moshi Moshi." She said as she answered.

"Ojou-san, I delivered the letter to your son today." She recognized Davison's voice. She sat down quickly.

"And?" She breathed quickly.

"Your number is on the back of the letter, Hanake-san. He might call it if he believes me. If not...gomen nasai, Hanake-san." Davison said gently.

"It's all right, Davison. Arigatou...and I mean that with all my heart."

"I know that, Hanake-san." Davison said kindly. The soft click at the other end finished the call, but Hanake didn't put down her phone. She clung to it desperately, trying not to cry. She rocked herself back and forth in her chair. Do I even have the right to see him? After all I've done...all he's been through... God, tell me...please...what should I do?

The only answer was the memory of her son boarding the shuttle for earth three years ago. I've waited for so long...for my son...Heero...

...That's when the phone rang again.

1- I just wanted you to know what's up with her name. She's Japanese, but lets just say that her husband, Heero's father, was English or American, or whatever ethnic background Raleigh comes from. Would explain his eye color, ne?
