Notes: Heh heh heh. I enter Relena. Now, watch for Quatre's reaction to this. Don't get mad at me if you like Relena, I like her too, but this just... happened. She hadn't understood that she didn't' have to be a stalker anymore where I set this thing.

Begin part eight.

Relena appeared to answer the call whenever the day was going badly for Heero, and today was no exception. The girl waltzed right through the front door, her lungs put to use as she called out with her piercing wail. "Heeeeeero!!"

In the bedroom Wufei suddenly sat bolt upright, his eyes wide open in fear. He threw the sheet off Duo and himself and immediately ran for the closet, throwing himself in, and shutting the door behind him. He ignored his nakedness, searching for a weapon, or anything that could be used as a weapon.

Duo blinked once, then twice, then he rose from the floor, the blanket tucked around him. "Umm Fei? She's after Heero, not you." There was no answer from the closet; Wufei was pulling on a shirt to protect himself that he had tugged from one of the hangers. He backed himself into the corner of the closet and tensed. Waiting...

"Fei??" Duo was worried about Wufei. He didn't like the reaction at all. He tapped on the closet, repeating himself again. "Fei?" Wufei growled and clutched his only weapon tighter to his body. He was feeling cornered, she'd found his hiding spot!

Heero's reaction was, sadly, much like that of Wufei, and he moved directly in the opposite direction of the banshee. This brought him to Quatre's door. "Quatre! You have to hide me, Relena's here!" Quatre opened the door with a loud swoosh looking slightly frazzled, his hair mussed up and he was wearing no shirt. "Thank you!" Heero didn't wait for an invitation, instead ducking around Quatre into the room, and looking around for the best hiding place.

"Heeeeero! I know you are here! Where are you, my Heeeeeero?" Relena was coming closer, approaching the direction that Heero had just fled rather quickly.

Duo frowned. "Fei, it's Duo. Are you going to just leave me wondering out here?" He tried that approach; maybe it would get through.

Wufei snapped back to normal. "Duo?" He called nervously... somehow he'd thought he'd heard Duo's voice... He wondered if Relena had a voice changer and stayed put. Suddenly Wufei became very afraid. *Duo's not here!* He threw open the closet door with a vengeance and looked around for Duo.

"Yes, Duo." Duo was right in front of the door, and was knocked over by the sudden opening of the closet. Wufei immediately grabbed Duo and fell to the floor as well in an almost tackle and wrapped his arms around Duo tightly.

"Fei, I entirely agree to your choice to hide from Relena, but if we're gonna do that, we might want to before she finds us lying in here on the floor man." Duo hugs Wufei back without hesitation.

"What is Relena doing here?" Quatre asked of nobody really and quickly shut the door, albeit quietly, and locked it. He then made the unexpected move of snatching up his gun.

"I don't know how she found me again! She shouldn't be here! You people should let me shoot her already! She endangers the missions!" Heero finally tucked himself into the corner of the bed and under it, making sure the covers hid him from sight.

Again it came; this time a little worried sounding. "Heeeeero? Where is everyone? This is no way to greet a lady!"

"Some lady..." Quatre whispered under his breath but remained silent trying not to give away their position.

"I agree, that is no lady!" Heero's voice is a growl from under the bed.

Relena frowned delicately, opening the first door she came to and peering around the room, it was the living room. "Heero, I know your here, I found your laptop!"

"Shush!" Quatre hissed. "You don't say a word, or else I will tell her you are in here." Suddenly Quatre's eyes lit up and an evil smile played across his lips.

Heero make a small sound, crawling partially out from under the bed and giving Quatre a look that screamed, 'save my laptop.'

"My hands are tied. You want it. Go rescue it." Quatre crossed his arms over his bare chest, and smiled evilly at Heero.

Relena moved across the room, leaning down to pick up the papers scattered across the table. "What's this? What would they need information like this for?" Then she gasped. "Heero, You aren't the one doing this are you?"

Trowa suddenly slammed the garage door shut and came into the kitchen looking for a drink and some cookies. He froze when he saw what was standing there. *Oh shit oh shit oh shit! Not this!* Trowa backed up silently hoping she wouldn't see him

Relena turned, the mission papers that Heero was carrying around earlier still in her hand, and looked at Trowa. "You! You know where my Heero is right? Lead me to him!" This was stated in her best imperial tone, the mission papers waved around in her hand, clearly being read.

"No way." Trowa stated and continued to back out of the kitchen and into the living room.

"Wait! Your name is Toby, right? I know... You're one of the pilots! So you know where Heero is, take me to him!" Relena was following Trowa, dogging his steps as he backed up.

"Toby?" He questioned, his face making a show of disgust. "No, Toby isn't here. Neither is Heero. He went to get Toby. If you hurry you might be able to catch him." Trowa continued to back away, but tripped and landed on the couch. He was suddenly feeling very exposed. He was wearing no shirt and was still slightly sweaty. *Maybe if I tell her I was having wild anal sex with Heero and Toby she'll go away...*

"No no no! I must have gotten the name wrong then! If you aren't Toby, and he went to get Toby, then take me to him wherever Toby is. Your name is Trinton right? Is that the right one?" She pounced on the weakness, hurrying over, papers still in hand, and standing over him, waving the papers in his face to emphasize her words.

"Umm... No... My name is... Look, it doesn't matter, all right? Heero is not here, nor do I expect him back anytime soon. He went on a mission for two weeks with Toby. I'm not a pilot, I'm merely the... uhh... Pool boy." Trowa fidgeted nervously. *Get this girl away from me!*

"What pool? Oh nevermind, I know you're lying, these papers were next to Heero's laptop, and I know he has to be here if that thing is. So take me to my Heero!!" She leaned closer staring at Trowa.

Heero groans as she mentions the papers. He whispers quickly to Quatre. "Quatre! She has the mission papers!"

"I told you. I'm the pool boy and I don't know what you are talking about!" Trowa suddenly pounced up, pissed off at having been put on the spot, by Relena of all people, and grabbed the mission papers with a loud "Yoink!" Running like hell out the back door.

"Not my fault." Quatre said and just remained calm. He had his gun loaded if she came near him, he wasn't worried.

Relena huffed loudly and stared after Trowa. "You didn't tell me where Heero went! Oh no! He was the pool boy? He shouldn't have those papers!" She moved the opposite direction as Trowa, throwing open the next door she found. Inside were Wufei and Duo.

"Sounds like Trowa got them back." Heero was relieved, and crawled back under the bed. Quatre just shrugged, jumping up off the bed to crawl under with Heero.

Wufei screamed in terror the moment he saw Relena, and hid himself in Duo's chest. "She's found me!" he cried softly.

Duo stared helplessly at Wufei for a second before wrapping his blanket firmly around them both. "Go away!"

"You! Where have you hidden my Heero? Tell me!" Relena stomped her foot to illustrate her point, clearly upset.

Wufei continued to whimper and draw himself closer to Duo, afraid for his very life. "He left this room a while ago, go look for him somewhere else!" Duo glared at Relena, trying to make her disappear.

"I don't believe you! That's why he's scared isn't it? You both did something to my Heero!" Relena pointed at them both, moving further into the room and crossing her arms.

Wufei suddenly sat up, gun in hand and fired a shot, missing Relena's arm by only a mere centimeter. "He said get out." Wufei's voice trembled slightly. "If you value your live you will take his advice." Wufei's body shook with the effort, staring at his enemy. He was terrified, but he still had to protect Duo and with this Onna getting closer, he only had one option left.

Relena halted, her eyes going wide. "You killed my Heero, didn't you? That's why I can't find him isn't it? Heeeeeeero!!!!" She froze in place, calling desperately; hoping for an answer so she could be reassured her love was still alive.

Quatre sprang up forgetting that he was underneath the bed and hit his head, hard "Itai!" He yelled and rolled out from underneath. "Did you just hear a gunshot?" He pushed himself up and walked slowly to the door. "That crazy woman brought a gun this time?!? I'm taking her out!" Quatre threw open the door forcefully.

Duo cursed softly under his breath, tugging on Wufei while the crazy lady was distracted, and was pulling him backwards. "C'mon Fei, lets hide while she isn't looking." Wufei quickly jumped to his feet and ran for the closet again. Being tangled at he was in the blankets, Duo found himself yanked as Wufei leaped up, though he took the more cautious approach, backing towards the closet.

"Where is she?" Quatre snarled. "I'll kill her! How dare she invade our home! And look at our reports... That's classified information!"

Hearing that he could now shoot Relena allowed Heero the will to get out from under the bed, quickly trailing after Quatre as he ran from the room. "We can kill her??"

"Kill on sight." Quatre said and tensed at the doorway, lying in wait for the blond.

Relena glared at the pair going for the closet, looking for something to vent her sudden, unneeded grief on, and saw something breakable, sweeping it off the dresser and reveling in the crash before spinning and leaving the room.

"What are we doing in the closet?" Wufei asked after a few moments in the dark silence, coming out of his haze.

"Relena. Relena just burst into the bedroom and now thinks we killed Heero." Duo whispered his reply to Wufei.

"What?!" Wufei yelled indignant. "What that hell is that crazy Onna doing here in the first place?? It's a security risk!"

"I heard Her saying something about papers. I think she got a hold of something the docs sent, but I heard her scream about a pool boy taking them." Duo tried his best to fill Wufei in.

Relena hurried from the room and burst back into the living room, panicked. "Heeeeeeeero!!!"

Quatre fired immediately upon hearing the wail. "We need to get out of here. This safe house is no longer safe. You know how they follow that girl around!"

"Pool boy?? But...we don't have a pool..." Wufei stopped talking as he looked at Duo in bewilderment... Or what he thought was Duo since the closet was dark. It could very well have been a coat!

Relena screamed upon hearing the shot. "Heero! Come and saaaaaaaave me!! People are shooting and I'm not safe!" She dropped to the floor, crawling oddly enough towards the sound the shot came from. Certainly that's where Heero lay. She forgot a moment before she thought he was dead.

"I know we don't have a pool. I think it was Trowa she was talking to." Duo isn't concerned. "You almost shot her."

"I did?" Wufei paused again. "Why did I do that?"

"Yes, yes you did. I told her to go away, she didn't, you shot at her, she thought you killed Heero, she broke something while we hid in the closet." Duo quickly ran through what happened.

"I missed?" Quatre muttered in disbelief as his mouth dropped open while he stared at the trembling girl crawling towards them on the floor. He was aghast.

Heero moved forward slowly, gun drawn. He would be so happy to finally get rid of the security risk. "You missed. My turn!" Heero was way too enthusiastic about this, and as he was about to shoot, Relena caught sight of him, launching herself at him and making him miss the shot.

"Oh Heero! I was so worried, I'm glad you're alright!" She clung to Heero tightly, nearly cutting off his air as she wrapped herself around him. Heero stared at Relena in horror. Now that he was allowed to kill the woman it appeared that she wouldn't be nice enough to just let him shoot her.

Quatre had fired again, but Relena had launched into a glomp and he only took some of her hair off in passing. Quatre snarled and took care of the lapse, shooting her right in the shoulder.

Relena howled in agony, releasing Heero and ducking around behind him like a shield. "Heero! He shot me! Kill him!!"

Quatre snarled again and put the gun to Relena's forehead. "Get out." His tone meant business. "If I see your face again..." He let the note hang in air.

Heero was currently frozen in shock. The reason that Relena had managed to stay alive so long was no more, and now Quatre was letting her go, if under injury. *She was no longer an innocent. She'd tried to make him into her weapon. What have I been protecting?*

Relena looked at Heero, who made no more to save her, and obeyed, retreating and leaving a bloody trail behind her as she ran for the front door. "This isn't the end!" Then, she was gone.

Quatre's hands shook and he slowly sank to the floor, dropping his gun in his lap. His voice was a disconsolate whisper. "I almost killed her."

Heero's voice was far more mournful when he looked at Quatre, sounding distinctly disappointed. "You almost killed her."

To be continued.
