"Feeling better young lady?" Hildie looked up from Quatre where she
was kneeling on the floor wiping the last of the blood off of her mouth and
chin. Duo had woken up and was by her, stroking her back.

"Stop picking on her Quatre! Can\'t you see she\'s having trouble with all
of this?"

"Not my fault now is it? Must I keep repeating myself reminding you that
you\'re the one who made the decision and not to get all self-righteous on me.
She\'ll be fine...given time...she has no choice really. Now, I have been more
than patient with the both of you. And now, it\'s wearing thin." Quatre
stepped over to Duo and reached down grasping the nape of his neck, pulling on
him until the other man was at his feet. Still holding onto the same spot he
brought his face close to his own.

Duo could feel the heat of his breath and smell of it as well. He tried to turn
his head but found his body immobile as fear gripped his very soul yet again.
He closed his eyes and swallowed hard as he felt the light pressure of Quatre\'s
lips against his own, surprised at the softness of them. The idea that he was
kissing a man instead of woman seemed irrelevant to him all of a sudden and he
found his lips parting, allowing Quatre\'s tongue admittance into it. But then
the face of his wife entered his mind and he could feel her cursed spirit
breaking, as was his. He found he did not want to continue, grateful when
Quatre then broke the kiss.

"Not so bad am I? Despite the impression I might give you, I can be quite
gentle with first timers." Quatre looked at Hildie\'s eyes that were
filling with tears. "Now, don\'t cry, it won\'t help. He is mine until I
decide to give him back to you."

Heero
stepped out of the double glass doors of the hospital. Hd led left his place of
residence determined to find Relena but then he had realized that he knew not
where to search, so he had went to the hospital hoping to find Duo. Hearing
about the couples abrupt disappearance had distracted his mind somewhat from
his own situation leaving him confused and curious to the reasons of his
braided partner\'s actions. "Why would Duo take Hildie like that? I knew he
was upset about her illness, but to kidnap her? I can\'t believe your love for
her made you act so recklessly, so insanely. But then you\'re one to talk aren\'t
you Heero. You\'re in love with a woman who not only isn\'t human but has also
threatened to kill you. Why didn\'t you warn me Duo? Tell me love could make a
person this crazy and irrational."

His eyes grew wide and his face grew flushed somewhat realizing he was talking
out loud to himself and that people were staring at him. He became startled
suddenly as he found his shoulder violently bumped from a man who was walking
by him.

"So sorry, sir, I didn\'t see you."

Heero looked up at the taller man noticing his strange hairstyle that was
spiked over his right eye; he thought to himself how he had never seen eyes so
green. "It\'s all right. Just an accident...good day."

"Yes, I suppose accidents happen." The green -eyed gentlemen replied,
biding Heero a curt good-bye before moving on his way, but not before stealing
another glance at the retreating human. "You fool, I can read your mind.
You\'re thinking of nothing but her...well, then I suppose my course of action
will truly be justified now." He spun around on his heel, heading in the
same direction as the unsuspecting Heero Yuy.

Hildie
growled a scream and shot to her feet and using all of her new, found strength
she belted Quatre across the face with her open hand. "How dare you! Have
you no decency about taking another\'s mate as your own even if it is for a
little while? Duo is mine and I swear I will fight to the death for him!"

Quatre\'s eyes narrowed in anger and he slapped the woman back. She crashed to
the floor and held her cheek in shock, her breathing heavy. "You\'ll have
to kill me Quatre before I allow this to happen! I\'ve faced death once and am
not afraid! Have you?"

The blonde\'s nostrils flared and his eyes were wide with anger as he towered
over her fallen form. "You think you can threaten me? Strike me? I am of
royal lineage and I take orders from no one!" He then kicked her in the
ribs knocking her out cold." Duo screamed her name and cursed at Quatre.
The blonde Prince ignored his cries and instead slammed him down on the bed
where he began tearing at his cloths. "Blame your wife for this, my
friend, it is her that has angered me enough not to care anything about your
comfort!"

"No!" Consciousness returning to her, Hildie screamed again, this
time her voice racked with sobs. "Please! Have you no mercy? Have you
never known what it\'s like to love someone so deeply that you know without them
you can\'t exist as a whole?"

Quatre stopped his defilement of Duo, Hildie\'s words gripping at his dead,
cursed soul. He closed his eyes to prevent his tears from escaping, yet one did
seep through and trailed singularly down his cheek.


He released a frustrated yell of his own and pushed down on the braided man
using the force to push his body up to his feet. He screamed his eyes inflamed
with anger. Duo scrambled quickly off of the bed clasping his torn shirt to his
chest, Hildie was by him and they watched in petrified horror.

"I have had enough of you two! Your teary eyes and shrill whines! This
ridiculous talk of true love and soul mates, dying for one another! It has
become painful to my ears and deadening to my libido! You\'ve have grown to
disgust me! I no longer wish for either of you!" He stormed to the door of
the room and yanked it open, turning once again to them his voice suddenly
soft. "Your vow to me is null and void Duo Maxwell, for I\'ll not be able
to stand the sight of you or wife for some time." He was then out in the
hall slamming the door behind him.

"Why
is it you want me to accompany you, Relena?"

"Because you\'ve become a calming force in Trowa\'s life, Wufei, I\'m
counting on you to contain his violent tendencies."

"You\'re one to talk about violent tendencies, princess."

"Then if you don\'t want me to show you them up close and personal you\'ll
stop asking questions and get a move on."

Wufei huffed somewhat, but took the necessary steps to catch up beside her.

"So why is it so important for you and not Trowa to kill this human?"

"I said no more questions."

Stuffing his hands in his coat pockets Wufei closed his eyes and smirked.
"It\'s because like Trowa you try and avoid any kind of emotion that even
hints of love. But in your case you\'d rather kill that someone, Trowa just
likes to shut them out."

Before the Chinese man could speak another word he found himself slammed
against the side of a brick building, Relena\'s left hand firmly gripping his
throat, her right hand pulled back and stilled as if she were about to punch
his face.

"Anymore disrespect, Wufei, and Heero won\'t be the only one to die
today."

Hildie
stumbled over to her husband who was slowly rising off of the floor and onto
his feet. He looked over his ripped shirt before tossing it to the floor again
writing it off as unsalvageable.

His arms came around his wife enveloping her into a tight embrace as she fell
onto his bare chest.

"Are you okay, Duo?"

"Yea, he just managed to ruin my shirt, thank God. Hildie, I owe you my
life." He kissed the top of her head.

"I don\'t think God exists for us anymore, sweetheart, and as for your
life, I\'m simply returning the favor."

Duo closed his eyes tightly pulling Hildie closer to him even more in an
attempt to stop his newly forming tears. "I\'m so sorry. I\'ve ruined
everything for us."

"No, love, I don\'t want you to feel guilty for this." She kissed in
between his pectorals noticing for the first time that his once tanned skin was
now a pale peach. She smiled before resting her forehead against the very same
spot she had just kissed. "Life is full of changes and challenges Duo, we
merely have to accept that and learn to grow and change and I for one know that
the transition will be much easier for me as long as I have you forever by my
side."

Her words brought a halt to his threatening tears and he loosened his hold on
her enough to bring one hand up under her chin, tilting it so that she was
looking up at him; he met her gaze. "And have no doubt Hildie, my darlin\'
girl, I\'ll never leave your side."

A warm smile graced her lips as this time it was her blinking back tears at his
words. "I love you Duo Maxwell."

He brought his hand up behind her head as he slowly lowered his, stopping only
when his lips were a breath away from hers. "I love you, Hildie
Maxwell." He then completed the movement, capturing his wife\'s lips with
his own. The couple passionately shared their first kiss of their new life.

He
shook his head in an attempt to clear his mind but he could not shake Relena
out of it, or the memory of the previous night they had spent together. He felt
his body growing hot and a stirring hardness in his groin. He ducked into an
isolated alley way and leaned forward against the wall resting his forehead
against his bent arm that was pressed to the wall. He hoarsely whispered his
deadly lover\'s name. "Relena, where are you? Come to me, please. Even if
you kill me at least I won\'t have to suffer with out you."

"How touching it is to hear someone pining away for a love they can never
have...and speaking of touch..."

Heero\'s breathing literally stopped as he heard a masculine voice in his ear
and felt an arm snake around his hips and a hand stroking gently the raging
passion that he was trying to get under control.

"Get away from me pervert!" He yelled, angered, pushing back against
the man who had dared touch him so intimately.

With a malicious sounding chuckled the man released him and backed away
allowing Heero to turn around and face him.

"My, my you do have it bad for our princess don\'t you?"

Heero curled his fists but kept them to his sides. "You\'re one of them
aren\'t you? What do you want?"

Trowa narrowed his eyes and spoke in his usual soft monotone. "The
question is what do you want?"

Heero growing irritability showed in his voice. "I\'m not in the mood for
games. So just tell me what it is you want?"

"Very well." A sly smirk drew across Trowa\'s lips as he stepped
towards Heero, pinning him against the side of the brick wall with his much taller
frame. He rested his hands sideways onto the shorter man\'s shoulders so that
they were cupping his chin, thumbs stroking his cheeks. His voice remained
matter-of-fact. "Seems the princess Relena is our mutual friend...and
lover."

Though paralyzed momentarily Heero strangely found he was not afraid of this
man and in fact, was glaring at him. "You sound jealous, or worse yet
threatened."

Trowa raised one of his fine eyebrows as his right hand slipped slightly down
the scrap dealer\'s chest, so that now its index finger was gently stroking
Heero\'s jugular. His gaze fixed itself on the very same spot making it appear
that Trowa was speaking past him instead of to him. "If such accusations
make you feel superior then spew them at me to your heart\'s content, for I
already know that truth of my feelings for our dearest and most desirable
Relena. Do you know yours? Wait, don\'t answer, I can tell how you feel and that
it is in fact true."

"Then you won\'t mind me telling you that I love her, deeply with every
thing I am."

Forest depths flashed upward, locking again with Prussian swirls of profundity.
"I know. And even though the princess won\'t admit it she feels the very
same way about you."

Heero furrowed his brow as he stared into the other man\'s eyes, thinking for a
second he saw a flash of pain and loss, perhaps the realization of a denied
truth. But if there had been it was now gone, swallowed once again by deadly
calm seas of pure, intense green.

Trowa straightened his stance the look of dangerous arrogance draping over his
body and face once again which seemed to oddly match his calm voice.
"Well, Heero, you love her, she loves you and this whole situation is
something I can no longer continue to watch without doing something about it,
so, that, only leaves me with one recourse. But don\'t worry," he paused
briefly to flash a devious smile and evil gleam,ot;Iot;I\'ll make it as quick
and as painless as possible.
