"The commissioner is waiting in his office." Announced a short blonde lady in a business suit.

Zechs nodded and walked into the office she led him to, inside he saw his superior standing by his window looking down at the streets three stories down.

"You wanted to see me sir?"

Treize turned around and nodded, "Yes I do, please sit." Zechs took the only available seat and waited for him to continue. "Lieutenant are you aware that there are over one-hundred homicides happening in this city daily?"

"Yes sir."

"Well then are you aware of how many officers are qualified to stop them?"

"Very few?"

"Correct, which brings me to the question why do you have the top officer in our force running errands that the citizens are paying your secretary to do?"

"Well…"

"Governor Dermail has been all over me about the crime around hear wondering why our department makes few if any arrests, what do I tell him? Because my subordinates are to busy settling there lovers quarrels to work!"

"Sir?!"

"Don't sir me, I know all about you and officer Noin so don't even try it."

"We are no longer in a relationship."

Treize pinched the bridge of his nose, "Zechs, the only person that believes you is you, and sometimes I wonder about that. There is no logical reason for you to be doing this to her."

"Doing what?!"

"I don't want to debate this just put her talents to better use and you will make me so much happier."

"Yes sir." Zechs mumbled.

"Dismissed."

He got up and walked out fuming, Treize was the only one who could read him like a book and he hated it. Everything he said was true; he was still in love with Noin he gave her pointless assignment as an excuse to see her. After the messy breakup they went through before he didn't have to guts to try again afraid that he would just mess up again, like he always did. Besides there was no way she still loved him after all this time was there…

" 'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby! Listen to Iron Madien baby with me! Ooooo m'yeah teenage dirtbag oh she doesn't know just what she's…"

"Duo, sing one more note and I'll rip out your vocal cords." Growled Heero.

"Well you won't make any conversation so what am I supposed to do?!"

"Shut up."

"Oh that sounds like fun."

Duo took a deep breath and looked around, they were standing on a street corner looking for women to pick up…well Heero was. There wasn't much to see just some run down buildings and cars, a few women across the street, who Heero was eyeing lustfully, and a couple of guys who were drinking at the other end of the block.

"So what happened with you and Ira."

"Who?"

"Ira you idiot."

"Ira who?"

"Forget it." There was silence for a few blissful moments when Duo spoke up again, "I really miss Hilde."

"Who?"

"Damnit Heero get the fuckin wax outta your ears I said I miss Hilde!"

"Oh."

"She used to make the best food."

"Uh-huh."

"And she had a body to die for."

"Cool."

"I really feel like shit for leaving her without anyone."

"Yeah."

"And she's always stuck by me even when the police were on my tail. She risks arrest for me and then the one time she needs me I bail…great now I really feel like shit."

"Yup."

"Damnit Heero you aren't listening!"

"That's nice."

Duo ignored him and looked off to the side where he saw the two men who had been drinking earlier walking towards them, it was then he noticed who they were.

"Um Heero…"

"That's good Duo."

"Heero…"

"Neat."

"Heero!!"

"What is it man can't you see I'm trying to…" he stopped when he saw the two men, "Crap run!!"

He didn't need to be told twice, without looking back he took off after Heero running, but that was pointless the men were twice as fast and soon had the two boys by the collar and backed them into an alleyway.

"Well, well, well if it ain't sissy boy Yuy I thought that was you." Said the blonde one.

"Hi Alex how ya doin?" Heero whimpered.

"Muler what are you doing on this side of town?" Duo asked his captor.

"Lookin for you two pussys." Said Alex.

"Why?" Heero asked.

"Heero I know about you and Sylvia."

"Why do you care?"

"Because she's MY girlfriend."

"I had nothing to do with I swear, it was all him!" squealed Duo. Heero glared at him.

"True but you're hanging out with him so that means your gonna get it too." Muler snarled.

"W-what are you going to do?" asked Heero.

Alex pulled out a pocket knife, "Make sure you don't stick your shriveled little dick where it doesn't belong ever again."

Duo almost fainted, "Both of us?" he squeaked.

Muler responded by nodding, " 'Fraid so."

"Hey fellas lets talk about this, look I didn't know she was you're girlfriend!"

"So."

Duo grabbed his cross and started praying.

"Look how about you take my girl and we call it even!" pleaded Heero.

Alex thought about that for a moment, "Relena?"

"Yeah!"

"What else."

"Uh a pack of gum?"

"No."

"Um his cross?"

"HEY!!"

"How about your bike over there?" suggested Muler.

"Yeah your bike." Alex repeated.

"What?! No not my bike!"

Alex pulled the blade out, "It's your bike or your balls."

"Givehimthebikegivehimthebike!!!"

"No! I've had that since forever!"

"Well I've had these jewels for even longer and I'm kind of attached to them!" Duo snapped.

"Nope."

"Heero come on you can buy another one."

He though about this for a moment, "Nope that's an antique."

"Heero stop being a stupidass and give him the fucking bike!!!"

"Fine!" he shouted and shoved the keys in Alex's hands.

"Thank you I think I'll go pay Relena a visit right now." He grinned.

As he and Muler rode off Heero watched helplessly, while Duo was busy kissing his cross till his lips hurt.

"What is the matter with you! You could have gotten us both deballed!!"

"My bike…" muttered Heero.

Duo stormed off in the other direction, "I'm going to go see Hilde see you later." He growled.

Shi was sitting on the floor in the waiting room playing with blocks waiting for his mother to come in off the balcony, he had insisted on coming with her out of the hospital room. Because like her he couldn't stand to see his little sister helpless in a hospital bed they had been there by her side for hours and they were both tired; mentally and physically. The doctors had told them she would be alright, but she didn't look like it. Noin and his grandparents were still in the room with her so she had someone if she woke up. It was quiet and he was beginning to feel better about the situation when the doors bust open and his father ran in right past him to the room his sister was in, after a few minutes he immerged and approached him.

"Shi where is your mother?"

He didn't respond.

"Shi!"

"I can't tell you." He said finally.

"I don't have time for games where is she?!"

Shi stood up and walked right up to Wufei, "I told her I wouldn't let you hit her again and I wont."

That was a serious blow to his pride, Wufei knelt down and looked his son in the eyes, "Listen what I did was wrong I never ever should have hit Sally and I'm very sorry for doing it. I'll never do it again alright?"

He nodded and pointed to the sliding door that led to the balcony. Wufei stood and walked out there to find Sally sitting at one of the round tables with her head resting in her arms, when she saw him her head shot up.

"You're hear."

"What do you expect woman? You called me."

"Three hours ago!"

"Well I would have been hear sooner if I had my car!"

"I don't feel like arguing right now Wufei."

"Sally what happened to her?"

"We were at my parents house, she was playing in the tree house out back and fell out."

"Why weren't you watching her! She's six you can't just let her run amuck all over the place!"

"What is wrong with you?! Why is it no matter how bad the situation you pick a fight! My daughter had a concussion, and yes it's my fault I should have been watching her and I have to live with that but you have to push it Wufei! You always push me! Why?!" She cried.

"Sally I…"

"Leave me alone."

"But…"

"Wufei leave me alone!"

He frowned and marched off the balcony slamming the door behind him so hard it left a giant crack through the middle. Sally turned to go after him but stopped, 'Why he'll just argue over whatever you say.' She thought, and came in off the balcony as well to take Shi back to Tammy's room. When she didn't see him it scared her.

"Shi?" she called. She was about to see if he had already gone to her room when she spotted something under one of the chairs. When she knelt down she saw Shi curled up with his hands over his ears tears falling freely on the floor. "Oh honey I'm sorry you had to hear that." He didn't reply he just grabbed his ears harder, when she reached out to touch his he jumped up and scrambled back into Tammy's room. Running from all the fights he heard in his head, he couldn't tell which voice was real and which just was just there to torment him, to remind him about how much his parent's hated each other.

When Sally caught up with him he was in Noin's lap hiding his head under her arm, Noin was giving her a questioning look.

"Should I ask?"

"No."

"Your parent's went to go get something to eat they'll be back soon."

She leaned against the wall, "Thank you for staying Noin but I know you're tired and want to go home."

"I'm fine it's you, that needs someone to look out after you."

"Look at you you've got bag under your eyes and everything, go home and get some sleep I'll be alright I promise."

"Only if you promises to get some sleep as well."

"I will."

Noin stood but Shi lached onto her leg, "Auntie Noin can I come with you?"

"Huh?"

"Please."

"Don't you want to stay with your sister."

"No daddy might come back."

Noin looked up at Sally, "What happened?"

She just put her hand up indicating she didn't want to talk about it.

"Well if it's alright with your mom."

"Mommy can I please stay with Auntie Noin?"

She looked down at him and nodded sadly, "Sure."

Noin hugged her friend before she left taking Shi with her, and walked to her car with the four year old in silence.

Not to far away Wufei sat on a bench with his head in his hands, he was becoming more like his father every day it was like some sort of slow metamorphosis. Not matter how determined he was never to be like him the more he did and he couldn't stop it from happening, he was becoming his father, an alcoholic, a thief, a woman beater. It was happening before his eyes; he was like a prisoner in the cell of his mind when these urges came he couldn't stop it he would just snap. How far would this go how far would he go before someone was hurt, or dead…just like his mother.

*-*

Duo was standing in the driveway of Hilde's house trying to find the courage to face her, but he couldn't seem to find it. As he stood there he heard the door open and to his utter surprise he saw Trowa emerge with Hilde at his side smiling happily. Quickly he jumped behind a bush to eavesdrop.

"Ok you got all that?" asked Hilde.

"Yeah pickles, ice cream, cheese, milk and Goldfish gotcha."

"And hear's some money to pay for it."

"No that's ok I got it."

"Trowa I'm not about to leach money off you too now take it."

"I've got it don't worry about it."

Hilde smiled at him, "Thank you then."

"No problem my pleasure."

"Trowa Barton I swear you are to good to be true."

He laughed, "Hardly."

She stepped forward and hugged him tightly, "You have no idea how thankful I am I don't know what I'd do if you weren't hear."

He hugged her back, "You don't have to worry about that ever again."

"Get going before you make me all emotional!" she demanded, giving him a playful shove.

He waved as he walked off, and the second he was out of her sight he found himself pinned under on VERY pissed Duo.

"Barton what the fuck do you think you're doing?!!"

"What you should be doing! You left her alone Duo she didn't have anyone else to turn too!"

"If you lay a finger on her…"

"What, If you don't want to take care of her no one can?!"

"I'm not talking about care taking, I'm talking about you making the moves on MY girl!"

"She's pregnant why would I even try it?"

"Just don't."

"Do you plan to come back or do you want her to be alone until you realize what an ass you've been? You are such a wimp, she has more guts then you could ever hope to have, we may run together but I think you're a totally selfish coward." With that he shoved him off and continued on his way.

Duo jumped up with furry in his eyes, "Hey you have no right to criticize me! Hilde isn't you concern!"

"She is now so get used to it! She needs someone to help her and you wont do it, I'd be happy to step aside if I knew you'd go back and take care of her but the truth is you can't and you wont!"

Duo looked at the ground, "I am coming home Barton so don't get too cozy, I know you mean well I guess I over reacted, and I realize what a wimp I'm being but I don't know what else to do."

"Well don't take to long, she wont wait forever, you'd be very lucky if she still even likes you after what you did."

"I know." He turned and walked the other way, "Tell her I'm sorry." He said over his shoulder.

Trowa nodded, "I will."

*-*

Quatre was in his bed thinking of Dorothy, he had to admit it he was in love, deeply in love with her and he had only known her two days. Somehow he had to sweep her off her feet and let her know how he felt. She was the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with and he wasn't going to let her get away, and after the bank he would have enough money to show her how much he cared for her. That is if nothing went wrong…. He sat up and looked around his small room. 'Who am I kidding? How could I ever hope to make her happy? I live with my dad and sisters, I'm jobless and a thief.'

"Quatre."

He looked up to see his father standing in the doorway, "Yes."

"This came for you." He said, and handed him a violin, the same one he had been playing that morning, "And this note." On the small slip of paper was a phone number and the initials D.C. Quatre took it and thanked his father. When he was gone he raced to the phone and dialed the number; it rang twice before Charlie picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hi is Dorothy there?"

"No I'm afraid she's out for the evening."

He frowned, 'that was odd', he heard some muffled noises followed by an annoyed 'Give me that!' then he heard Dorothy's voice.

"Quatre?"

"I'm hear."

"Sorry about that, he's trying to be difficult this afternoon."

"Why'd you send the violin?"

"Because you don't have one and I can't play. Why? Don't you like it?"

"I am very grateful for it Dorothy thank you."

"Don't mention it, I wanted to talk to you because you still owe me for that dance."

"Oh and what would you like?"

"A night on the town with you, this time I want to go places you like to go."

"That sounds good how about we meet in the park in about twenty minutes?"

"Will do see you then, bye."

"Bye." He then jumped up in a complete panic and dug through his closet for something to wear.

*-*

Shi walked into the house and looked around before he asked, "Is Mariemeia hear?"

Noin threw he keys on the counter and sat down, "Yes she's in her room."

He walked down the adjacent hallway and stopped at the first door he came to, Mariemeia was his best friend even though she was six years older they were as close as he and Tammy. He knocked on her door as soon as he did she answered it.

"Shi!"

"Hi Marry I'm hear to spend the night cool huh!"

"Thank goodness some ones hear to talk to my mom is working late and Noin is always tired after work." She said, "Hey, where's Tammy?"

He grimaced as he waked in, "She in the hospital cause she feel out of a tree and hit her head really hard so she has to stay till tomorrow, but the doctors said she will be ok."

"That's good."

Shi climbed up on her bed and asked her meekly, "Can I ask you something?"

"You just did."

"No, I mean about your parents."

"Sure go ahead."

"Why did they break up?"

"Mom said it was because they had irreconcilable differences."

"What's that?"

"I don't know but they had them, why do you ask?"

"My mom and dad are always fighting and now they moved apart from each other I was just wondering if your parents did that to."

"Yup they'd fight all the time and when mom didn't take her medicine things got really nasty."

"What would she need medicine for?"

"You remember the time when she started talking funny and wanted to blow stuff up?"

"Uh-huh."

"That's why so she won't act like that."

"Do you still see your dad?"

She nodded, "Every other weekend when they split up my dad moved on and married this lady name Leia, she want's me to call her mom but I don't like her, and mom moved hear with Miss Noin. Right now she's dating this guy Nichol, he is such a geek."

"You mean there never getting together again?"

"It would take a miracle, when I was little like you I made this." She pulled a metal chain out of her shirt and on it was a gold wedding ring. "Mom threw it at him when he told her he was leaving, I guess this was me hoping she'd need it again."

Shi leaned in closer and squinted, "What's it say?"

"Treize and Anne forever…apparently forever is until you get tired of the other person."

"My dad hit my mom so I guess they're not getting together again."

"He hit her!"

"That's why we had to leave."

"That is bad."

"I just wish I knew a way to protect mom from him when he gets mad. I still love him but I don't want him to hit her any more. I miss him too I never even got to say bye."

"My dad gave be a gift before he left."

"What?"

Mariemeia looked around and whispered, "Come hear." Shi followed her to her dresser drawer, she opened it, and pulled out a 9mm, "My dad gave this to me before he left, and I know my mom would freak if she knew about it. It's not loaded so don't worry about it going off, plus dad taught me how to use it. He said he had one when he was little so I should have one too." She aimed it at the window and quoted him, " 'Legs apart for support keep both eyes open aim for the head for a quick death, aim for the midsection to subdue.' That's the last thing he said to me while he was still with mom." She then put it back in the drawer and cover it with clothing.

"The best thing my dad gave me was a tricycle."

*-*

Duo was snoring in his bed when her heard a pounding on at the door, groggily he got up and answered it to see a VERY angry Relena.

"Where is the two timing dipshit?!"

"Heero it's for you!" called Duo.

Relena stormed in and burst into Heero's room, "Wake up you bastard!"

Heero just groaned in his sleep and rolled onto his stomach, she jumped on his bed and dug her heel in his back, "I said WAKE UP!!"

No response.

This time she put her foot on the back of his neck, grabbed his hair, and pulled his head back causing him to scream in pain, "Awake yet?" he made a weird noise that sounded like a yes. "You son of a bitch not only have you been cheating on me you sold me to Alex!!"

Heero made more strange noises, until Relena released him. "I didn't *gasp* sell you, it was *cough* more like *gasp* a temporary trade."

"I don't believe you Heero! Sleeping with another girl and then you come crawling to me like you've been deprived of all physical contact!"

Duo who had been listening from the door choked on the soda he was drinking, "Another girl? As in one girl. Yeah right."

"Relena it was an accident I didn't mean to, it just happened."

"Over and over and over." Muttered Duo.

"Even so you shouldn't have told Alex to come to me with his pants down and Muler with him askin to watch."

Duo choked again.

"He was going to cut my nuts off! I was desperate."

"Well I guess I can understand that, but I'm still mad about you cheating."

"Aw come one you know I only love you."

"Liar!"

"Ok I'll prove it."

Duo leaned in only to hear the rustling of clothes and Relena giggling, his jaw dropped, "Is it some sort of disease?!" he growled to himself as he prepared for another looong night on the couch.

*-*

'Dinner, movies, arcade…where else car I take her?' Quatre asked himself as he and Dorothy walked the streets. She had come without Charlie, which nearly made him scream with joy, and was dressed in jeans and a long t-shirt and looked absolutely gorgeous. Although he was still stunned she wore things like t-shirts let alone jeans.

"I'm having a great time Quatre." Said Dorothy dreamily.

"Really?"

"Yes really I love to get away from responsibility and party's with old politicians and always having to wear dresses ALL the time and be out with someone like you."

He nodded in understanding, "Well I can't think of any other place that's open at this time…"

"Let's go to your house."

"M-my house?"

"Yes I've never seen the inside of your house."

"Why would you want to?"

"Just because."

"If it makes you happy." He said and led her through a shortcut to his house and within minutes they had arrived. He opened the door and let her in to look around, "This is it." Ha announced.

"Where is everyone?"

"Either out partying, at night school, or asleep."

"Nineteen of your sisters live in hear?"

"No eight plus my dad the others live in the complex next door but we're connected by a backyard. They all bunk up two to a room but I get my own which means they all hate me."

"Which one is yours?"

"The first one down the hall on the left." Before he looked around himself to see if anything was out of place, and when he turned to Dorothy again she was gone. "Dorothy?"

"In hear." She called from his bedroom.

Quatre went in after and saw her looking at a picture of him and his sisters that took up the whole dresser. She moved over to the violin that was on his desk and then looked at the assorted posters that plastered his wall that ranged from Mozart to Star Wars.

"I know it's small but it's home."

"I like it."

"Dorothy may I ask why you like to be with me?"

"I don't know, I just feel safe with you, somehow I know you would never hurt me."

"I wouldn't...because I love you." He confessed, true he was afraid of rejection but he had to tell her, he couldn't help it.

She just stared at him for a moment, the statement had thrown her completely off guard, "Quatre…"

"Yes I know I haven't know you that long and that you have a lot of rich suitors and all but…" He was silenced by her lips press against his own, when they parted Quatre was the one who was stunned.

"I love you too." Was all she said before she kissed him again, this time he reacted by slipping his tongue into her mouth. He wasn't sure how long they had been kissing before they wound up on his bed, or how long they did after the fact, but when he felt his belt come off it snapped him back into reality. It took all his willpower but he had to stop and make sure this was what she really wanted.

"Dorothy are you sure?"

"Yes."

"I think I should tell you I've never done this before."

She smiled at him, "Neither have I." She said as she leaned over and kissed his neck making him loose all rational thought for the rest of the night.

END PART 3

BY

MILO

DONE! YIPPIE! Quatre and Heero are going to have a busy night don't you think? I think Treize complaining about homicides after he gave a ten yr. old a gun and taught her how to use it is ironic don't you? And I know you think you know what's going to happen but I promise the end will catch you completely off guard.

P.S.

(Incase you didn't know Anne is another name for Une's saintly persona.)
