Mail Order Heero Arc 2 Epilogue
As soon as he got home Heero headed to the showers. He was planning as he let the warm stream wash away the lingering aches and blood. Now that the rush of adrenaline was gone, everything had come crashing down at once. His parents' money, his childhood home, the family business had all been his. His Aunt had hated him enough to steal his birthright and treat him like a slave in his home. But somehow he couldn't regret it, because no matter how bad it had been, it had brought him to Duo's arms. He was so busy thinking as he rinsed the suds out of his hair that he didn't even notice someone slipping in behind him. His body went still from shock and lingering traces of pain before he registered a familiar voice whispering.
"My Hee-baby". The soft touches grew more familiar and he pushed all thoughts of his family's betrayal away.

Afterwards lying in his beloved's arms he rested his still damp hair against the solid muscle of Duo's chest. He didn't ask about Akira. It's not that he didn't care, it was just at the moment he was more concerned with why Duo had lied to him and who that lady was.
"Heero?"
"Hai?"
"About today..."
"..."
"I wasn't lying to you, I was really working."
"Really?" There was sarcastic tinge to Heero's normally warm voice.
"Yes. You see I am a mechanic for Hilde, but my job also comprises of certain things I can't put down on paper."
"Ooooh." O_O
"Not that Hentai!"
"Well," *Blush* "You were so good I figured you had a lot of experience."
Laughing at Heero's adorably embarrassed statement, Duo couldn't help but kiss those pouting lips.
"No, just great inspiration."
*Blush*
"No for the past few years I have been working as a spy for the organization that Hilde runs. It's dedicated to freeing the colonies from the oppressive rule of Earth's government. That girl was Dorothy, one of our double agents. She uses our supposed relationship to bring us information, putting her life on the line for the lives and futures of those that rely on us."
"Why didn't you tell me before?"
"I didn't want to think about work yet, we were still on our honeymoon."
"So what is this organization called?"
"It's named Gundam Wing after the Star Shuttle that brought our ancestors to the colonies. And we are the heirs. The Gundam Wing Boys."
"We?"
"Yes, 'we'. You were the last heir Heero. Now all the pieces are in place so we can begin to make Earth government recognize our legal rights."
"Our rights?"
"Well, we're all the Heirs to different colonies. You're the Heir to L1 and as such should be fighting with us. I even decided that your nickname will be 'The Perfect Solider' officially 01. I'm Shinigami officially."
"Shinigami?" Heero interrupted "Do you know what that means?"
"Yes, actually I speak Japanese..."
"Nani?" *blush* "So you understood what I was saying that first night?"
"Hai, Watashi no Hee-chan. Aishiteru." (1)
"Aishiteru? Not Dai Suki Desu?" (2)
"Hai, I'm not afraid of looking weak by loving you." (3)
"Duo..." Heero whispered voice melting.
*Chu* (4)
*Chu*
*Chu*
*Chu*
"But Shinigami?"
"Hai, I bring death to those that hurt the ones I love."
"So Akira?"
"Yes."
*****
Some time in the future, a young Japanese girl in braids stepping off a familiar looking shuttle. Her black bangs were cut to frame her face and her brown eyes sparkled with joy and anxiousness as she surveyed the crowd gathered around the shuttle port. She wore a plain red, white and gray uniform standard issue in the boarding school her mother had sent her away to. So much had changed so quickly! Seeing a familiar figure she squeaked in surprise and delight. Her cousin Heero! His hair was cut short as it was in his childhood pictures, and he wore a pair of loose black pants and a satin shirt. Most beautiful of all more so then the radiant smile on his face was the calm sense of confidence he seemed to exude. It suited him well.
"Heero-kun!" She shouted and ran forward to launch herself in his arms. The tears came freely to both of them. It had only been a year since she had last seen him but so much had changed forever. First Akira had been killed in a car wreck on his way to visit Heero on L2. Then her mother had placed her in a boarding school under strict instruction to turn her into a proper Japanese maiden. It wasn't till later she found out that very night her mother had committed Hari-Kari taking the secret of Toshiko's location with her. Heero had been her only living relative and had been searching for her all this time. Now she was going to join him and his new husband Duo on L2. As part of their family.
*****
To everyone's surprise, Duo's Heero lived up to his nickname. He was truly the perfect soldier. But even with the vast account of the Yuy fortune behind them, it took a long while for the colonies to gain independence. In the mean time, it was a hell of a ride in more ways then one!
OWARI
1) Yes, my little Heero I love you.
2) I love you? Not I like you best?
3) In Japanese its considered weak to tell someone you love them so you say Dai suki instead which means I like you best.
4) 'Chu' usually denotes a soft quick kiss full of happiness in Mangas
