Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Resistance is Futile ❯ The Sound of Her Voice ( Chapter 10 )

Chapter 10 - The Sound of her Voice

Impatient Relena leant against the seat of her pink Rolls Royce. She could hardly wait to see her Heero again. Surely he would be as glad as she was. It really had to be horrible for him to be always separated from her for such long periods of time.

With a delighted smile she envisioned the moment when he would embrace her in his strong arms to greet her. Relena sighed. Seeing Heero again would be such a romantic bliss.

While Relena revelled in daydreams about her future with Heero, Pargan drove into the drive of the house where - according to Relena's latest information - Heero was staying right now.

Only few moments separated her from her beloved prince charming! Couldn't Pargan hurry a little and open the door already? Relena tapped her foot impatient.

Finally the door opened and in her eagerness Relena totally forgot her ladylike behaviour and simply stormed out. As she wanted to surprise Heero she didn't ring the doorbell but rounded the house to get directly into the garden where Heero surely would stay on such a beautiful day like this.

"Heeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrroooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she called in her lovely voice, taking the last corner. Where could he be? Searching Relena looked around and discovered Wufei who stared magnetised on the floor in front of him. She followed his gaze and froze horror-stricken.

A picture of absolut horror presented itself. There, on the floor lay her heroic love, and on his chest sat an unknown woman and held his arms above his head. How could this... this broad dare to put hand on HER Heero? And why was Wufei simply standing beside them and didn't do anything?

She wouldn't put up with it! She would rescue her Heero from the claws of this person! She jumped on the back of the blond woman and shrieked enraged, "Get off him, bitch!"

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

Duo entered the garden, followed by Quatre and Trowa who also had been roused by Relena's shrieks. And there they couldn't believe their eyes.

Heero lay motionless on the floor and stared totally stunned at Seven who sat on his chest and desperately tried to get rid of the pink menace on her back. But Relena cramped quite strongly to her and screeched in glass-breaking heights obscene insults.

As Wufei also moved and started to tug at Relena, Duo's jaw finally dropped. Why oh why didn't he ever have a camera when he really needed one?

After a not so short second of shock Duo, Quatre and Trowa helped Wufei and together they were able to tear the wildly screeching Relena off Seven's back. Seven immediately stood up and with a smooth motion also helped Heero up.

Trowa looked at the still wildly fidgeting and screaming Relena that he and Wufei could hold only with great effort. "Relena?" he asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

But Relena didn't react, she only kept on screaming unintelligible shreds of words.

Quatre looked quite helpless at his friends. "What shall we do with her?"

Duo grinned broadly at him. "We could always slap her in the face," he suggested.

"Duo!" Quatre called shocked.

"What?" Duo asked innocently, "It's supposed to help with hysterical fits!"

Heero stepped close towards Relena and said severely, "Relena! Keep quiet!"

Immediately Relena stopped screaming and blinked several times at Heero. Then she suddenly tore herself out of Wufei's and Trowa's grip and clutched her arms around Heero.

"Heero," she cried, "You're alive! I rescued you!"

"What are you speaking about?" Heero asked her coldly and freed himself off her grasp. "You interrupted our hand to hand combat practice."

"Hand to hand combat practice?" she asked unbelieving, "But this woman attacked you!"

"Of course she had," Heero said and stepped a little back to get out of Relenas reach, "It's part of the practice."

Somehow Duo enjoyed himself splendid though he had been quite upset with this murder blonde only some minutes before. But after all the enemies of his enemies were his friends!

"What's wrong, Seven?" they suddenly heard Wufei's voice.

Duo turned his attention towards the ex-Borg. She stood totally stunned and blinked uncontrolled at Relena.

"What is that?" she asked in an insecure voice that Duo hadn't ever heard from her.

"What do you mean?" Wufei asked surprised.

"That… thing," Seven said and pointed at Relena, "It causes unbearable interference within my ocular!"

That was it! Duo couldn't control himself any longer and fell on the lawn, laughing loudly. "I always told you guys that this colour causes blindness!" he gasped. After some minutes he calmed down again and wiped the tears of laughter off his face but remained sitting on the lawn and watched the show quite interested.

Meanwhile Quatre, Trowa and Wufei had led Seven some steps away and explained her who or what - Duo giggled - Relena was.

Relena seemed to have calmed down now. "Heero, what does all of this mean?" she asked confused.

"That's Seven," Heero answered and pointed at the ex-Borg, "Her help is essential for the success of the next mission."

"I see, then everything is alright," Relena said and smiled beamingly at the Wing pilot. "Oh Heero, I missed you so much and I am so glad to see you again!" Relena fluttered her eyelashes and approached Heero.

Duo had to fight against an urgent nausea watching this scene. Was this pink monstrosity really that stupid or was it only an act? Heero clearly seemed to have no interest on her - even if he could show it quite more distinct in Duo's opinion.

He seemed to have made some kind of derogatory noise, because suddenly Relena gave him a really nasty look. Duo grinned replying. Relena frowned, then ignored Duo again and turned smiling towards Heero.

"Oh Heero, I have wonderful news," she cried excited, "OZ invited to a peace conference! And I am one of the planned speakers! Oh Heero, you have to accompany me by all means!"

Again Heero stepped back. "Why?" he asked coldly.

Relena opened her eyes as wide as possible and fluttered again - in her opinion - seductively with her eyelashes. Duo had to bite into his hand to stop himself from laughing.

"But Heero," Relena whined, "You HAVE to accompany me! I need you as my bodyguard! You certainly couldn't let me go there alone and unprotected!"

Duo could see that Heero started to sway. Relena always succeeded to grab him at his sense of duty and to persuade him to do something he actually didn't want to.

But this time Duo would prevent it. He cleared his throat and said, "Sorry Relena, that's not gonna happen. Heero's not gonna accompany you."

Relena glared angrily at him. "What do you interfere anyway? No one has asked for your opinion! Why shouldn't Heero accompany me?"

"Quite simply, he had been heavily injured during our last mission and has to go easy on himself. Doc's orders."

Relena turned all her attention immediately towards Heero. "You were injured? Oh my poor sweet darling! Why didn't you call me? I would have immediately hurried over here and nursed you to health!"

Heero retreated two more steps - what wasn't of much use because Relena immediately approached again. "Hn," he said unfriendly, "There was no need. Duo had cared for me."

Duo grinned happily from ear to ear at these words. And when Relena shot him again nasty looks, he couldn't stop himself to provoke her some more by twitching his eyebrows suggestively.

Meanwhile the garden had emptied nearly unnoticed and Duo and Relena could just watch Seven enter the house - closely followed by Heero, who seemed to have used Relenas inattentiveness to escape.

"But... but... Heero..." Relena called after the Wing pilot.

Duo stood up and brushed the grass off his clothes. Before entering the house he once again turned to Relena.

"Forget it, babe, you don't stand a chance against a real woman like Seven. Heero hasn't been leaving her side for a second for the last days, and she even had flown Wing. Do I have to say more?"

Satisfied humming - after all, he had destroyed one of his enemies quite thoroughly - Duo disappeared into the house and slapped the door into the face of a totally flabbergasted Relena.
