Chapter One: For You

"I'm so glad all of you could make it this evening." Relena said with pleasure in her voice. The guests murmured a thank you for her invites and sincerely saying they were glad to come. She even managed to get the Gundam pilots who helped end the Eve War's to come, even Heero.

Her eyes drifted around the guests who greeted her and she continued to walk around until she found someone in a corner of the ballroom looking out one of the windows to the snow outside. She had found him: the 'perfect soldier' that she had fallen in love with, despite his many threats to kills her (which he never went through with obviously). She stealthily made her way to him and was about to surprise him when his voice stopped her.

"What are you doing?" He questioned, not even glancing at her away from the snow, turning the outside world into a winter wonderland. They were all celebrating for Christmas, which Relena loved from the snow.

"Nothing, Just coming to see what you are staring at." Relena told him simply, though it was a lie. It would have been impossible to sneak up on the young man.

"Just the snow." He said, an almost depressing tone in his voice, which Relena noticed. She seemed able read the young boy better than any one else, almost as good as Doctor J, though he knew much more about him than she did. He was such a mystery.

"Why?" She asked. "It's just snow." She told him and then looked out the window to see if he was looking at something else, but nothing was out there.

Heero didn't answer her question and she glimpsed a almost sorrowful look in his eyes.

"Are you all right?" Relena asked comfortingly to him. "Is something bothering you?" She questioned him, noticing his silence to this. The people in the room started a fire in the large fireplace. Heero's eyes widened slightly, which Relena noticed also, as the fire reflected onto the glass, making it look like the snowy world outside was on fire. She was about to place an arm on his shoulder but stopped. "Heero?" She asked.

His eyes became focused. He turned to look at Relena, his eyes masking any emotions he was feeling right now, or any thoughts rushing through his head. "I'm fine." She heard him say, a little less audible than he usually talked. He walked off from the window, leaving whatever he was thinking about behind.

Relena looked through the window, almost reminding her of the time that she had been in a recently destroyed city. She found a bear there and it was snowing much like it was now that fateful day. She sighed heavily and went off to go look for Heero again, while talking to other guests so as not to look suspicious.

She found Duo talking to Heero, who was staring behind him to the window, obviously he wasn't paying attention to what Duo was talking about. Relena rushed over to him and he glanced at her out of the corner of his prussain blue eyes.

"Hi again." Relena said cheerfully. Duo looked at her and smiled also and walked off, leaving him and her alone. Only the braided pilot seemed to realize how the ex-pilot's stiff body seemed to relax slightly with the peace angel around.

"Hi." He said to her, having no emotion in his voice, "What is it?" He asked her, looking at her fully now.

Relena felt a slight blush creep across her cheeks but quickly hid it from him. Before she could answer, a loud explosion was heard. "Wha—"Relena cried as Heero pulled her behind him, embracing her to shield her from the explosion.

He grunted a bit as he was thrown a bit into the air, turning so that he fell on his side so she wouldn't hit the floor hard. He collapsed in a heap; Relena with her eyes squeezed close from fear.

She opened them and saw Heero first thing. "Heero!" She cried, clutching his white shirt, which went well with his tuxedo like pants.

Heero got up slowly, wincing at the pain that shot through his back. Is once white shirt on the back was torn a bit with some crimson and lots of dirt and dust. "A-are you alright?" He asked Relena, pulling her up from the floor.

The other people in the room were screaming and running around.

A round of bullets rained towards the ceiling, making an even more deafening noise over the screaming. "Shut up!" A person wearing an army uniform, much like Sally's was only made for men, called into the air, his gun held high. Other soldier's stood before and behind him, with weapons in their arms also.

"We, the Blood Dove, have the Sanc Kingdom now under control. We cannot guarantee your safety if you try anything what so ever. No body move at all." He commanded. Every one complied as the soldier's went around, holding their gun's at the people, looking around. For someone or something.

Heero pulled Relena in to a corner used his body as a shield to get to her. "You." A soldier said, making the other's look at the commander who walked over proudly. It had been easier than he thought taking over the kingdom. He pushed pass the soldier, gun in hand aimed the person.

"What the hell? Heero?" The commander shouted, practically shocked.

Heero stared at the man, not surprised he knew his name, but he looked at him like he knew him, like he wasn't expecting him to be there...

The man laughed. "I thought that you died when you tried to kill yourself after that incident occurred. Maybe they didn't want us to train you harder, eh?" Relena looked at Heero, what was he talking about?! Heero and what incident. Who was this man?

"Who are you?" Heero said coldly. The man looked at him, then looked around the room, noticing the other four gundam pilots that the other soldier's had surrounded and pointed their gun barrel's at.

"So the other famous Gundam pilot's are here too, huh?" The commander said grinning. "I never would have expected it to be so easy even with the world's most dangerous kids here." He said, looking Heero over. "Haven't changed much from before, minus all the wounds on your body from the training." He walked up to Heero and caught a glimpse of Relena glaring at him.

Heero stared coldly at the commander. He didn't move and his glare was one that meant that he would kill if he were to move any closer to him or her.

"So there is the little peace angel." The man said snidely, looking at the blonde haired girl behind Heero. "We've come for you, you know." The man said, grinning evilly. He snapped his fingers and more soldiers' appeared, raising their weapons at the two.

The commander smacked Heero so hard in the face that he staggered to the side of the wall leaving Relena half-open for them to take a shot. The half where her heart was. She stood there stunned, not moving as the man raised his gun at her.

Heero rushed over to her and pulled her into a tight embrace so she wouldn't get hit any way, using his body as a shield, knowing she wouldn't be able to live through a bullet even in the arm without falling unconscious. Relena wasn't built like him so he couldn't expect something like that from her.

'For her,' Were his only thoughts that were silenced. Prussian Eyes widened slightly

As Heero did this, the bullet fired seconds before. Silence filled the room and Heero's grip on Relena's body loosened.

The Gundam pilot's took this time (when the shot was fired) to attack the people with the gun's and got them all down within second's having only twenty-four people with him, not including the commander. That meant six down from each of them.

Heero stopped moving: his body fell forward onto Relena's as the commander frowned at this. "Damn boy." He muttered and was about to raise his gun again when he felt a sharp jab his neck and darkness took his world.

"Heero!" Relena sobbed into the boy's chocolate covered locks. "Open your eyes! Please!" She sobbed, tears rolling down her rosy cheeks. The pilot didn't move at all. His back was turned from the other's still in the limp embrace he gave Relena.

The other Gundam pilot's rushed over to look at their friend. Trowa took Heero out of the hysterical Relena as other's started to form a crowd. Sally and Noin pushed their way through the crowd.

Trowa laid Heero on Relena's lap and his head tilted to the side. His chest wasn't moving. Trowa tried to find a pulse frantically while other pilot's tried to awaken their comrade. No matter what happened to him, he always seemed to pull through, even after self destructing his Gundam.

"Heero!" Trowa shouted. "God!" He turned to Sally, a frantic look in his eyes, his stone mask etched away. "He doesn't have a pulse!" He shouted to her. Relena stopped crying and stared at him, her body started to tremble and she tried taking a deep breath but only ended up hacking and coughing. She screamed and hugged the body of the unmoving boy.

Trowa quickly began using his medical experience and began to do CPR, doing fifteen chest compressions per two rescue breaths, not getting any circulation after repeating the step five times. It was no use, they had to get him to the hospital to get a procedure called 'defibrillation' (known as the electric paddles).

"No! God, Heero!" She shouted, having no control over her emotions. "Heero!" she shouted, but her body couldn't take all this mentally as she was trying to breathe but couldn't find any air. Not enough was getting to her brain at least. She cried her eyes off, feeling her eyes grow dry from shedding so many tears. Her body quivered like she was having convulsions. She clutched his dirty tuxedo top like a life preserver. Something that threatened to pull her down wouldn't get her as long as she had him, but now he was gone.

Gone. The word hit her like needles in every inch of her skin. How can she believe that after so many battles he was just..gone. Gone?! Was it even possible? He had left her, but this was one place she could never follow him. Would she never see his gorgeous eyes again? Never was a very long time, but never without him seemed even longer.

She collapsed under all the stress into Duo's arm, hands weakly clutching Heero's still form slightly.

During all this, Sally bent down quickly next to the unmoving pilot and lifted up his limp wrist, jamming her fingers into his vein to try and vainly find a pulse. She held her fingers there and got a slow pulse that was barely noticeable. Her eyes widened and she let some tears fall. "We have to get him to a hospital. He's got a very small pulse and he won't be able to hold on forever!" She shouted.

Trowa nodded, understanding this. Anyhow, he quickly scooped the pilot up, Duo carried Relena and they ran for the door, the other Gundam pilot's following with Sally next to Heero and Noin next to Relena.

They waited impatiently in the waiting room for the doctor's diagnosis for their friend, Heero Yuy, pilot of Wing Zero. Relena's doctor already said that she would be fine and that all she needed was rest, but currently, she had her mind on other things than her own physical condition. Heero's situation was much worse than hers and he was hurt so bad, possibly even dying in there and she was out here...pacing back and forth waiting for what news awaited her, both the good and the bad.
