A/N: Hey again. I'm still kind of sad. Only three reviews on last chapter! I went from thirteen to two to three! Well, on the bright side, the reviews went down but they're slowly coming back up. A big thanks to ZeStY, b, Cherry Girl, and Jadie for being the only four people to review my story! Thank ya'll very much. Another big thank you goes to gw_campaign for e-mailing me! Thanks a bunch! The only reason I continue is because of these people and my own desire to get into the story I have planned. Please feel free to e-mail me at Tarrible2@aol.com because I love getting e-mail! There is a little bit more Heero and Relena in this chapter. I should get a lot more Heero and Relena stuff going in Chapter 6, however, this will not be a lemon! No lemon writing for me. This chapter is about my normal size chapter. As always, I will start off with the last couple sentences of the last chapter so you won't have to re-read it. Please R&R! Thanx.

Gundam Wing: The Next Generation
Part 4- Self-detonate?
Heero could see men coming from both side vents and he heard a man about to turn the corner of the vent across from him. Relena looked up at him with wide eyes. They had no where to go.
Heero ran through the base plans in his head but could come up with nothing. After a minute he remembered an opening they had just passed over that was different then the others. It was in the bottom instead of the side. Quickly, he grabbed Relena and they made their way over the opening. He pushed on the grate that covered the opening and noticed the only thing holding it there was springs. When you pushed down it popped closed again. 'Perfect. The soldiers will never know we went through this opening.' Heero thought. The room below was a laundry room and was empty. Under the vent was a bin full of clothes. Heero heard all three soldiers getting nearer. He grabbed Relena and dove through the vent.
When they landed, a bunch of clothes popped up over them. They lay there for a minute before Heero noticed he was on top of Relena, face to face. Both he and Relena blushed. Then they heard voices coming from the vents above. Relena started to say something but Heero clamped a hand over her mouth and lay as still as possible.
"Man, I could've sworn we had them."
"I know, I could've sworn I heard them over here."
"What if they got out?"
"Then somebody searching the lower rooms will find them. As for us, we're stuck in the air vents."
"Yeah, I know, man."
Once the voices faded away Heero looked at Relena and took his hand off her mouth. He slightly blushed again, then started to push all of the clothes off from on top of him and hopped out of the clothes bin. As soon as his feet hit the floor he automatically fell into a fighting position in case someone was there. When he was sure it was safe, he reached into the bin and helped Relena out. He gently set her down on the ground and they stood there staring at each other. Heero started to scan the room for a way out. His eyes landed on a steam pipe that led up through the ceiling. 'That will lead outside.' He thought. He looked back at Relena and finally broke the silence.
"I have to go join the attack on the base." He said in his flat, monotone voice. "The others will be here very shortly and I have to be ready to help in WingZERO."
"Please don't leave Heero." Relena pleaded with him.
"I have to." Was his only reply.
"But, what if you don't come back?" Relena asked, her voice growing shaky and tears filling her eyes.
"I'm coming back." He said as if he was sure of it.
"You don't know that. What if they kill you? Or what if you self-detonate?" She turned away, walked across the room, and leaned up against the wall so Heero wouldn't see the few tears that had made their way down her face. 'I can't let him see me cry. He'll think I'm weak.'
'Is she crying? Is she crying over me? Again? No, no, she couldn't be. I'm not worth crying over.'
"I won't self-detonate and I will come back." He said again. He walked over to where Relena was standing and turned her to him. She tried to turn away but he caught her face in his hands. He looked at her for few seconds, then leaned down and kissed her. At first he wondered if he had made a mistake, but when Relena started to kiss back he knew it was okay. He pressed himself up against her and deepened the kiss. 'I feel so safe like this.' Relena thought. ' I've got a wall behind me and Heero in front of me. I feel like nothing in the world can hurt me.' They stood like that for a few more minutes before Heero broke the kiss. Heero looked at Relena and they both blushed. He couldn't help but slightly smile. 'Is he blushing? Was that embarrasment in his eyes? Is he smiling?' Relena asked herself.
"I have to leave now." Heero finally said.
"Please don't go." She said, her eyes betraying her once more and showing her fear.
"You still don't believe I'm coming back." He stated more than asked. Then he reached into his pocket, pulled something out and hung it around Relena's neck.
"What are these?" She asked.
"They're called dog tags, my military identification tags."
"But you weren't in the military. You're a Gundam pilot."
"I know. Dr. J and I never gave each other Christmas present. Except one year, he gave me these. He said they would make me feel more like a soldier. I've had them ever since, I've just kept them hidden. I'm coming back for those, keep them safe." Relena gave a sad smile
"One last thing." Heero said.
"What?"
"Take my communicator." He said, handing her hid hand held communicator. "You can talk to me whenever you want and when you're not you can listen to what's going on in the battle."
"Won't you need it?" She asked.
"No. I'll be using the Gundam's communication circuit." He answered.
Relena reached up and put a hand on his cheek. He held it there for a moment and then turned and walked towards the steam vent.
"Come back." She said one last time.
"I will. I promise." He said in his still flat voice. Relena watched him leave and then ran and hid behind the clothes bins.
***************************************************************** *******
Heero climbed out of the stem vent on the roof. He looked around and saw that the base already had its new mobile suits lined up. There were twenty Geminis and twenty Sagittarius, all ready to attack. In the distance Heero could see the other five Gundams, three Leos and three Tauruses. 'Twelve against forty.' He thought as he made his way towards his Gundam. Once he was in WingZERO and powered up he looked to his side and saw the Preventers' troops landing. Then he looked forward and saw the New Oz's troops.
"Oh great." Came Duo's sarcastic voice. "This was supposed to be a surprise attack. You know, surprise, as in the enemy doesn't have forty mobile suits waiting for us!"
"Relena, are you there?" Heero contacted Relena.
"I'm here Heero." She responded.
Duo started laughing and said. "You gave Relena your communicator? What a stupid question, of course you did! Because you looooooooooooovvve her!
"Can it Maxwell." Heero said through gritted teeth. At that moment the enemy attacked.
************************************************************* ***********
The battle had been raging on for a while now. There were nine Geminis left and six Sagittarius. Trowa had to leave the battle because he ran out of ammunition, two Leos and two Tauruses were down but the pilots were okay. That left it fifteen seven and the enemy suits had awesome weapons. Relena had contacted Heero throughout the battle to make sure he was all right. Every time he had been able to say he was okay but this time he wasn't so sure.
"I've got a minor problem." He simply said when Relena contacted him again. Actually, he had a major problem. Four mobile suits had a hold of him. One on each leg and one on each arm. He couldn't move and one mobile suit was above him, preparing to attack. He had run out of options. Either he could allow the mobile suit to attack or he could self-detonate and take out all five of them. He was far enough away from everyone else to where he would only blow up himself and the five Geminis without causing damage to any of the others. He had to contact Relena one last time.
"Relena looks like I'll have to break my promise."
"What do you mean?" She asked, worry filling her voice.
"I have to self-detonate."

A/N: Sooooo, how was it? Did it suck? Was it good? Tell me in your review and tell me if I should continue or not. I'm sorry if the mood or anything kinda changed in the middle. You wanna here a funny story that explains why it may have? Okay, I write my stories down on paper and then type them on the computer when I get a chance. One night, I typed all the way down to the part right before Heero kisses Relena. I got tired and decided I would finish typing the next day. So I put Chapter 4 back in my notebook and went to bed. I couldn't sleep so I proof read Chapter 4 and once again put it back in the notebook. The next day I went to run errands with my mom (Loads of fun.) and I brought my notebook so I could write Chapter 2 of my other story while I was waiting in the car. One again I got bored and re-proof read Chapter 4. Once again, I put it back in the notebook. When I got home I sat down at the computer and reached into my notebook to pull out Chapter 4. It wasn't there. I tore the house and car apart and couldn't find it anywhere. I finally gave up and sat down to re-write what I hadn't typed. I tried my best to remember what I wrote the first time. I think I got pretty close but not exact. I liked the original Chapter 4 but I guess I'll have to settle for this one. Did I confuse you? If so then basically what I was saying is I lost Chapter 4 before I could finish typing it! Anywayz, please tell me what you think of this story in your review. One last thing, if it is at all possible could ya'll read my other Gundam Wing story? It's called Daughter Of The Soldier And The Princess. I need some people to tell me if it's good or not. Anywaz, please review! Ja ne! ~*Vega Starr*~
