Title: Relena no Shi (Relena's Death/Death of Relena *ohuhuhu...*)
Author: Ryan Harbin (she who just put the crackers in the fridge cause she wasn't thinking)
Disclaimer: I don't own it...
Note: This is a short little scene I wrote for another fic, and then decided that I needed Relena alive. But I liked the scene, so here it is.
Pre-Fic Rant: Even though this isn't exactly a fic, it gets one anyway. 'RESOLUTION' KICKS @$$!!! The Gundam X ED... It's great!! Anou... I think Phoe-chan still has it up! http://phoenix.cyril.com then go to the 'weekly horde' thing. If you're a fan of the Two-Mix songs, you'll love it! Personally, I think I may even like it more... o.o
Warnings: Deathfic (but I don't think I'll be getting any flames... ehehe... ^^;;) shounen ai? OOC, maybe?
Pairings: R+1 2+1
Spoilers: None
Oh... This was the *first* GW thing I'd ever written, the first scene in the first fic that was since trashed... ^^;;; So, please... Be nice. I like to think that my later stuff (some of which I will be sending) is better.
Heero Yuy glanced around uneasily, ignoring the sounds of those around him. Those actually only being Duo Maxwell and Relena Peacecraft. Relena had insisted on going somewhere, doing something, and he had therefore insisted on bringing Duo as a buffer of sorts. It was easier to listen to the braided pilot's chatter than Relena... Being herself.
"Heero! HEERO!" He was interrupted by a piercing cry. He looked forward to see Relena standing in front of him, hands on hips as she watched him.
He was about to reply - with something - to shut her up when he heard Duo inhale sharply. He swiveled his head toward the noise, but came in contact with something heavy and black. He hit the ground hard as the black object - Duo, he realized, continued through inertia straight into Relena. Her sound of protest was cut off sharply by the hole that appeared neatly in her forehead, black swiftly becoming red, swiftly masking the blue eyes that, though annoying to him, had brought so much good to space. She dropped slowly, like a puppet without strings, to the ground, her wide open eyes coming to rest a few inches from his face. He stared a blood poured from her head, puddling onto the ground, soaking into his hair, his skin, his clothes. He didn't notice Duo behind him until the Deathscythe pilot sank to his knees, muttering in a steady litany something he couldn't make out. He tore his attention to away to see Duo looking at Relena, eyes wide, shock scrawled across his round face.
"I'm sorry Relena oh god I'm so sorry god my god Relena I'm sorry..."
Heero felt vulnerable, there on the ground sandwiched between Relena's body and Duo, but he didn't, for once in his life, know what to do. He felt something he hadn't felt in a long time... Sadness. But why? As he looked again at Relena, he felt nothing but a slight twinge that someone else innocent was gone. He looked at Duo, the wide anguished eyes and the tear stained face... Something flickered inside him, something not buried but never felt before. He looked towards the sky, more confused than ever now.
He blinked as something wet hit his face between his eyes, running down the side of his face. Was it raining? No, whatever this was, it was hot, like a person. He blinked as another, then another, landed near his eyes. Foreign as they were, it took the strange feel of a few more droplets to realize what they were. Why...?
Owari
As for why Duo was crying... it was to set up shounen ai later in the larger project. Basically, he was crying because he thought Heero loved Relena and therefore, because Duo had, in a way, caused her death, Heero would hate Duo. It's not because I think Duo's a big wuss or anything... He's my second favorite character, of course I don't!
As I look back... Wow! That SUCKED!!! ^^;;;;;;
