~Angel's Prayer~

Heero's POV

Things were quiet when the war ended… Relena took her new role seriously and we gundam pilots had to send our gundams into space. It wasn't too hard for me to part with Zero, he had showed me many things. I'm glad that I have held on to my sense of humanity, if not, I would have never come to terms with what I did to WuFei… Thinking about him tears me up inside...my heart hurts so much, knowing that I hurt him and never made amends... Sure I apologized but his forgiveness only added to my guilt. There is no doubt in my mind that beneath that gruff and arrogant exterior lies a kind hearted boy with lots of love to give. I abused his trust and I doubt that he may ever trust me again. I suppose that I was jealous when he left me for Quatre. I was infuriated and blinded with rage. But that all crumpled and left me hollow. I had *no* right to think he was mine...someone as beautiful and dangerous as WuFei Chang can not be held down for long. I've learned that and despite our problems, I would never take one single moment back. And even up till this very moment, my love for him can only grow…
I broke out of my reverie as my vid phone rang, Probably another mission. I was well aware of the Preventers activities. I turned over in my bed and hit the button. A face I hadn't seen in person for about a year popped up on the screen. It was Duo Maxwell.

"Hiya Heero!" Duo chirped as he waved. I grunted as I sat up.

"What do you want Duo?" I asked as I rubbed my eyes.

"Better check out the news Heero. Relena's been kidnapped." Duo said, all seriousness in his eyes. I bolted up and headed for my t.v. Switching it on, news casters blasted the message loud and clear. I nodded my head. Something huge was going on.

"Heero, it's time for us to fight again. When can I meet you?" Duo's voice broke through my thoughts.

"I'll meet you on L2 in two hours." I replied as I switched off the t.v. Duo nodded and his face disappeared off the screen.

End of Heero's POV.
Okaie…next step…

Quatre's POV.

I sat silently as the MangaMac Corp (sp?) and I headed to intercept the ship that had transported the gundams to their final resting place. The original Operation Meteor was taking place back on Earth and in the Colonies. I feel my heart plummet as I think about when we gundam pilots ended the war on the eve of AC 196. It was wonderful seeing everyone unite in peace. WuFei and I finally had sometime to ourselves…he was exhausted, both emotionally and physically. My love had been plagued by Treize's death...he felt guilty and I did my best to show him that Treize's death was the only way to end the war. And now, a year later, a new war has started, Treize's daughter has taken center stage. I would feel a whole lot better if I had WuFei by my side, but, I found a note a few weeks later after the war ended. WuFei had left me, not because he didn't love me but because he felt that he didn't deserve me. I absently brush the tears that roll down my cheeks. I couldn't believe that WuFei would do such a thing. He is too honourable…I sigh again, wondering if I'll ever find him again...I haven't stopped searching. He hadn't even sent his gundam along with mine and the others. I know that Fei is a loner, but he's never turned away from me…it makes me feel that something was terribly wrong. I can only pray to Allah that he's okay wherever he is…

"Master Quatre, we're receiving a transmission from the new colony." Rashid said. I drew out of my thoughts and I nodded as I read the message. It was from Heero.

Quatre, I guess another battle is at hand again. Please send Zero ahead of the others. Things have really heated up…Duo fought Trowa…he was undercover again…I...I found WuFei…he's changed ...well…not in ideals...he's in Mariemeia's army. Hurry back as soon as you can…I don't know how long I can stand this Quatre...you can talk some sense into him...
Heero

I deleted the message, I could hear my heart pounding hard in my chest. Heero, he had found WuFei. Happiness flooded my being. He was safe, he was alive. Questions buzzed through my mind about why WuFei had joined with Mariemeia, and Heero's faith in me, to restore WuFei's sense. I hadn't spoken to Heero in ages. I couldn't bear to see the look in his Prussian depths anytime he saw WuFei and I back in AC 195. I pushed these thoughts out of my mind as I prepared to fulfill my mission, and the quicker I got through with it, the sooner I would see WuFei.

End of Quatre's POV
Okaie ^^;; next up….

WuFei's POV

Maybe I wasn't too shocked that Heero and I finally faced off in a battle. Previously, back on the new colony, I could feel his shock at the fact that I was now the enemy and I was fighting him with everything that I had…something that I should have done a long time ago...and here we are again, plunging to the Earth. More words than blows were exchanged and my ideals and cause forming one single note in my head.

"Treize is dead WuFei." Heero's voice said as we continued fighting. I shook my head…I knew Khushrenada was dead, it wasn't supposed to be that way. *I* was the one supposed to die because Treize was stronger than me. My mind floods with tears as Heero leaves me in the sky, and heads for his true destiny…he never ceases to amaze me. My mind drifts to my former comrades that I'm sure will join in the fight with all their hearts. I waver for a moment as I think of Quatre…I can't bare to see what he'll have to say to me if we ever meet, I know that I hurt him with my silence, but, it was the only way for me to search for the truth and worth in my life and Heero has helped to point me in the right direction.

As I land Nataku on the ground, I see that Heero has ended the war, for real this time. The people stand outside Mariemeia's fortress, protesting and clamouring in one accord. The people didn't need anyone to fight for them, they needed themselves and the strength of will to change their times. I step out of Nataku and join them. A few moments later, a murmur passes through the crowd as the other gundams land and I see my friends step out, looking a bit older but nonetheless, the same people that I fought alongside of. I can feel myself smiling as I see Quatre hop to the ground and hug Trowa and Duo. Heero apparently is still in Mariemeia's fortress, no doubt in my mind that he had done what was necessary. I feel those same eyes on me, ones that looked after me while I sobbed in the dark. Those turquoise eyes widen and three voices scream out my name. Standing frozen, whether from delight or fear, I remain in place and slowly, a smile creeps over my features.

"WuFei!" Quatre cried as he ran over to my side and enfolded me in a hug. His scent is still strong, shutting everything thing else out. He pulls away from me, turquoise eyes burning brightly as his finger grazes my cheek. He lifts his hand to his eyes and I see that they are wet. Gods...I'm, I'm crying.

"Quatre…" I whisper, my eyes searching his for forgiveness of my sins. Only he can make me forget and move on.

"WuFei, you're crying. I've missed you." My angel whispers back, his own crystal tears sliding down ivory cheeks. His arms wrap around me again, this time tighter, as if I was going to disappear. I feel his lips upon mine, searching, searching for something. My heart explodes as his tongue slips deeper into my mouth, as if to touch my soul. I feel a spark, a wonderful jolt and I surrender to him. He pulls away, smiling.

"Wo…wo ai ni Qua-chan. Forgive me." I whisper. After all this time…all this silence and silent sorrow, my love overflows like a stream. He smiles, warm love making me feel happy. His fingers trace my lips and he speaks.

"Ai shiteru Fei-chan. And I'm not letting you go this time." He whispers, his smile bathing me in warm light. Yes, I would always stay by his side. With him, I will never be lost again.

End of WuFei's POV
Okaie…so I suck at this, but I'm getting something accomplished ne? ^^;;

Duo's POV.

I can't believe the scene unfolding by the feet of WuFei's gundam. He was actually crying with happiness, not with the sorrow that I had often caught him lost in. Quatre…Quatre was just radiating light all around him as he studied WuFei. I could tell that his love was growing...all he ever wanted was right before him, still in its tight packaging, untouched by no one. I feel a smile reach my lips as Quatre pulls WuFei in for a kiss. I knew that Quatre was a hopeless romantic. I shrug as Trowa looks on impassively beside me.

"You know, Q-man always gets what he wants. No fair." I said with a small pout on my lips. Trowa actually laughs beside me.

"Well, he's never lost hope Duo. And neither have we. Let's get Heero." Trowa replies. I nod in agreement and we head into Mariemeia's fortress. The scene that greets us is one that I won't soon forget. Heero is actually in Relena's arms, a look of peace on his face. On the ground, Dakim Barton lay dead, and for the better of course. Then I catch sight of Lady Une, in her arms lay Mariemeia, bleeding from a gunshot wound. She looks happy as well. Death can be kind when one feels that they deserve it. The paramedics rush in and take the two of them away. Relena looked over to Trowa and I and turned Heero over to us.

"Take care of him, please. His has earned his peace" (1) she says with a smile as she exits the building. That girl amazes me at times. I catch sight of her brother, Zechs Marquise. Guess that the guy didn't die in the Libra explosion after all. He smiles at Trowa and I and leaves with his sister, who dissolved into tears at his sight. I guess for now, everything will be peaceful.

End of Duo's POV
(1) If Relena doesn't cling to any G-boy, I have no problem, so I *made* her independent. Damn right. 1xR ( Takeo gags ^^;;) But she's okay ^^

Trowa's POV

It has been five years since I ever became a gundam pilot and things have changed. To the best of my knowledge, and from yearly get togethers on Quatre's account, I've learned that everyone has successful settled into a somewhat normal way of life. WuFei has become his old scholarly self, tending to his martial arts and sword fighting just as frequently. He and Quatre live in Arabia and he helps the blond with his business. Duo went into the music business and is a major singer. Heero works with the Preventers and runs into WuFei and Quatre more than often since they contribute to the Preventers. I went back to the circus with Catherine and my life has been peaceful. I smile as I shut my journal and lock it in my trunk. I sit up and stretch. I needed to check up on the animals before I retired for the night. As I walk past my vid phone, it rings and I pick it up. WuFei's face comes on.

"Good evening Trowa." He whispers and I'm immediately on alert. WuFei's voice is usually calm, cool and collected, but he sounds tried and sounded as if he had been crying?!

"Hey WuFei. Is anything wrong?" I ask. I feel my usual quiet mask drop as velvet eyes overrun with emotion.

"It's Quatre...he's very sick. Please, call the others. I'll send a shuttle to get everyone." WuFei whispered. I nod and I say goodbye. My mind races as I call everyone up. Six hours later, Duo, Heero and I are in Quatre's mansion.

End of Trowa's POV

Takeo - Okay, it's all third POV from here on in .

Third POV

WuFei clutched tightly at Quatre's hand as his love sat barely motionless in his bed. WuFei felt tired and sad and fearfully. Quatre's health had been on the decline for about a month now and Quatre refused to tell him what was wrong. WuFei, being as equally stubborn as his koibito had caused arguments between the two. WuFei bit back angry tears. It was all his fault.

"Quatre, I'm so sorry. Forgive me please. I, I didn’t mean to make you ill like this." WuFei whispered as he placed a gentle kiss to his lover's hand. Quatre's eyes flicked open, a small smile on his lips.

"Don't say that Fei." Quatre replied, his strong voice a bit fading. His pale fingers, almost white gripped WuFei's chin strongly and stroked him softly, brushing aside locks of ebony hair that now reached the middle of WuFei's back. There was a knock at the door and Rasheed came in.

"Master WuFei, the others have arrived." Rasheed said as he gave a quick brow.

"Thank you Rasheed, let them in please." WuFei replied. Rasheed nodded and hurried out . Quatre stared at WuFei, a quizzical look in his eyes.

"I wanted them to see you Quatre, so that you can know that you'll be all right, that you won't leave me all alone. So that I could be strong for you." WuFei whispered, hiding his eyes from Quatre's. The door burst open and a panicked Duo came in, followed by a calm Trowa and an equally collected Heero.

"Quatre! Damn buddy, what happened?!" Duo said as he hurried to WuFei's side, giving his friend a warm hug before eyeing Quatre , as if assessing what was wrong with his Arab friend.

"Nice to see you too Duo." Quatre said with a small cough. Trowa and Heero rallied at the other side of Quatre's, offering a smile at WuFei and turning to Quatre.

"He won’t tell me what's wrong. He knows what's wrong with him." WuFei said as he mock glared at his itooshi. Quatre smiled.

"WuFei, please, just let me be." Quatre whispered, his grip still strong on WuFei's arm.

"Quatre, just tell us the truth. Are you..." Duo attempted to ask, his own fears of being Shingami stopping his words.

"Are you going to die?" Heero asked, cobalt eyes focused intently on Quatre. Quatre stared at Heero long and hard.

"Hai. I've known from the moment I was born. Don’t let this upset you, I have thought about this for a very long time. I won't be in any pain if that's what you're worried about and I don't want you all to feel like the world is over just because I'm gone. Stop looking at me like that Duo. And you too Trowa." Quatre said as he sat up in his bed, life seeming to return to the too pale cheeks. WuFei sighed, battling the emotions in him. He stared at Quatre. No, his angel, his angel, couldn't, shouldn't die, not like this. WuFei fled from the room, his tears running freely down his cheeks. Trowa and Duo ran after him. Heero remained at Quatre's side.

"Why Quatre? WuFei loves you with his very soul. You know that, he won’t want to lose you. None of us will." Heero said as he sat on the bed and faced Quatre. Quatre turned his head aside for a moment and Heero saw tears slip from the turquoise orbs. A pale hand formed a fist and blue veins contracted.

"I know Heero. Every since I've been ill, he's been here for me; reading to me at night, performing his katanas, and singing to me. I don't want to leave Heero. I love him so much...I cry everytime his eyes meet mine. It's not his fault, as much as he may believe that I'm dying." Quatre said as he wiped his tears away, a small smile reaching his lips as fond memories surfaced in his mind. Heero looked at Quatre long and hard.

"Then, if you've thought this through, there's no cure?" Heero asked softly. Quatre nodded his head, affirming Heero's guess.

"Yes. When I was born, I had a very rare form of cancer that became active after I started training as a gundam pilot. I continued to be a pilot because it was the only way that I could see WuFei and have his smile light up my life. The doctors already told my father, this was why he was *so* against me fighting but I've always followed my heart and it has given me what I required to stay alive and live my life to the fullest. I regret nothing that I've ever done. I just want Fei-chan to be happy when I'm gone 'cause by Allah, I'll find a way to watch over him." Quatre whispered, sadness darkening his turquoise orbs. Heero nodded.

"You are truly the noble warrior Quatre and the strongest. At least let us, your friends, make your last few days the most memorable. I cannot even begin to imagine the change that you've caused in me ever since I met you. And it has been for the better. I thank you with all my heart." Heero said as he hugged Quatre. Quatre nodded and with a mumble, Heero excused himself and ran out of the room. Quatre touched his cheek. His fingers came away wet. Heero was crying?

WuFei sat under his favourite tree, lost in thought. He had persuaded Trowa and Duo that he had been fine and he had wandered out into the cold night. He slumped against the tree, feeling hopelessly lost. He was losing the love of his life to an enemy that he couldn’t fight. WuFei wept again. This had been his constant vigil, watching over Quatre till he fell asleep and then leaving himself out under his favourite tree and crying himself into such a state of despair, he was usually up all night. In short, he hadn't gotten any sleep in the whole month. WuFei felt a pang of guilt for asking his friends to watch his love die.

"Am I so heartless? Is this my punishment for leaving my love? Please gods, help me find some way to fight this evil within my heart." WuFei whispered. His body leaned into the tree and WuFei felt a strong wind gusting through. He sighed, and his head rested on his chin and his eyes shut from their torturous vigil and sleep took away his pain for the moment.

Heero sat in a dark room, the room assigned to him actually. Trowa and Duo had confirmed that WuFei was okay and after staying up till around 1 in the morning, Quatre had forced them to bed. Heero leaned his head against the cool window, wondering just why Quatre couldn't have tried to fight his disease. He's been doing it all his life, I, I guess that he deserves his rest. I can never forget what he has made me see, to appreciate people that I love. Heero's eyes drifted to the stuffed panda that sat on his bed, staring back at him. Heero turned away, his heart refusing to back down from what he cherished the most. His eyes rolled to the window. The splish splash of rain tapped against the window and Heero gazed outside. Tears are being shed by even the heavens. Heero sighed as his eyes spotted something white under a tree. Focusing in, he made out the white baggy pants that WuFei usually wore and Heero without a second thought ran out of his room and wound his way through the maze that was Quatre's abode and burst into the garden a few minutes later. He found WuFei under the tree, drenched and shivering, but still asleep. Heero gently picked WuFei up and headed back inside. He kicked the door to his room open and deposited WuFei unto his bed, taking care to place the panda on the window sill.
Heero felt WuFei's forehead, happy to see that the man didn’t have a fever. Heero studied WuFei's face and frowned. He hasn’t slept in weeks, and hasn’t been eating a lot. He's making Quatre worried. I would be too. Heero wasted no time as he quickly undressed WuFei and wrapped him up in a blanket that he had found in the closet. Heero sat on the bed, just watching WuFei. He remembered moments like these when he would watch WuFei, waiting for those eyes to open and smile for him. Watching those eyes tossed into a whirlwind of passion and the newest, pain. Heero shuddered as he forced the bitter memories away. He was content to just watch WuFei. He lay beside WuFei, trying to warm the young man up so that he could take him to the one's side that he truly belonged to. WuFei stopped shivering after strong muscled arms held him close and Prussian orbs welled with undeniable emotion. Placing a chaste kiss to WuFei's forehead, Heero picked him up, still wrapped in the blanket and headed for Quatre's room.

Quatre's room was dark and the even breathing of the boy in the bed guided Heero to his side. He placed WuFei next to Quatre and WuFei slowly uncurled and clung to his lover's side. Heero smiled and turned to leave. As his hand touched the door knob, Quatre's voice reached his ears.

"Thank you Heero. No one can understand WuFei better than you and I can." Quatre said. Heero nodded and left. Quatre turned his eyes back to his lover and pressed small kisses to his lover's slender brow.

"For you, my dragon. My love and his, they will see you through this." Quatre whispered as he cuddled closer to WuFei, breathing in the scent of vanilla and rain. WuFei's eyes opened slowly and for a brief moment, eternal anguish passed through them. He cuddled into Quatre's arms.

"Not like Meiren, please, let me say that I love you Quatre, with my heart and soul. Don't die without hearing me say this to you." WuFei whispered as obsidian depths swam in turquoise oceans.

"I love you too Fei-chan, my beautiful dragon." Quatre whispered as he kissed WuFei, drawing his koibito's body closer, a hunger stirring within him. Soft kisses became harder as passions increased, their spirits bonding in this act of love. WuFei found himself pinned under Quatre, his love smiling so gently as his lips renewed every vow to every inch of WuFei's body. WuFei moaned as his lover took him, riding the sweet wave of pleasure that only Quatre could make him feel, the sweet power of a angel. WuFei cried out as he came, his lover's name dropping from his lips as Quatre gave his hoarse moans to the beautiful heat that his lover had engulfed him in. Both sated, they lay naked in their bed, hearts ready to face what would be the greatest test of all.

WuFei smiled sadly as two weeks later, he stood under his favourite tree. Quatre had passed away the night before and now, his body was being lowered into the ground, all 29 sisters crying softly. WuFei felt his heart and soul weeping, tears spilling down his cheeks, his lips curled in a small sad smile. His love had died without any pain, and that was WuFei's greatest comfort. Duo stood silently, making his own prayers and blessings. Shingami had reclaimed one of his children. The violet eyed man smiled as he gazed at his new koi, Trowa. Trowa held on to Duo's hand, both drawing strength from one another. Quatre had always been the one to bring people together and made them learn to love. Heero stood at WuFei's side, fearing that the dragon would reach his breaking point, for surely, he himself had. White orchids and red roses scattered themselves on Quatre's coffin as it was earthed, facing towards Mecca. The cermony ended and slowly, the gathering moved to the lawn where a small party was going to be held for Quatre to celebrate his life. Heero stood by WuFei's side and slowly clasped the slender caramel hand in his. Cobalt eyes met velvet.

"Quatre, I, I'm still lost. I'm sorry." WuFei whispered to the wind. Heero shook his head.

"There's nothing to be sorry for WuFei. Quatre has taught me a lot of things, and I promise to use them to help you live out your life like he intended." Heero said as his grasp tightened. WuFei smiled.

"Thank you Heero." WuFei replied as Heero drew him into a hug. Heero placed the panda bear holding an orchid and a rose on Quatre's tombstone and smiled. WuFei turned and Heero followed him. Thank you Quatre, for giving me my soul and heart back, and for letting me love WuFei like you and I both do. I'll take care of him, with my very life. Heero hurried up and walked with WuFei, his larger hand holding on tightly to WuFei's. A breeze blew, swirling the petals of flowers into wavy patterns and up above in the sky, a spirit was set free to wander and play in the warm sunshine until his itooshi returned to him again.

Owari

Takeo - ^^;; Um, please, I *need* comments. This is probably the longest long shot that I've ever written. =^.^=
