HEY LOOKIE HERE!! IT'S A PLUG!!! I WANT ALL OF YOU TO GO CHECK OUT THE FICS BY KATIE YUY!!!! PLEASE!!!     

Thank you Ley, Dana, Shi no tenshi and last but never least Jupiter's Light.  I'm sorry for getting this out late but a Writer's block hit me for this story, I tried basically every trick in the book to get rid of it, but the stubborn thing wouldn't leave. Ah well but I did get rid of it after I listened to about every CD that was in my house.

Chapter 2- A Hell of a Past

"Hmm" April said as she waved her hand in front of shocked purssian blue eyes, "Just as I suspected a complete comatose." She said in an analyzing tone, she flipped her back length platinum black hair over her shoulder and slapped the shocked Heero as hard as she could.

      A crisp smack sound rang out through the room, and others looked to the teenaged girl shocked. Heero regained his wits and gave April his death glare. She only returned it with a you-were-acting-like-a-complete-dumbass look; she spotted the cracked drinking glass and turned to her mother.

"You've been drinking again?" she asked, although she already knew the truth.

Lucretzia looked at her sheepishly, "Well maybe a sip or two." She answered.

      Her daughter looked calm except her lips were turned into a scowl, "Maybe a sip or two!!! The doctor said you couldn't have any alcohol. What are you trying to do, kill yourself?!" April screeched at her mother, then tore over to the table. She picked up the drinking glass and threw it against the wall; the glass splayed everywhere, and the dark liquid trickled down the cream colored wall.  But her rampage was not over yet she ran into the kitchen. The occupants in the living room heard much shuffling in the kitchen and many cupboards opening and closing. There was a loud shattering of glass and then she came back into the living room and tightly clutched her mother by the arms.

"You can't do that again, do you hear me! No more drinking." She shouted at her mother.

      It was as if the roles were reversed in this situation, like April was the mother and Lucretzia was the child being punished. Milliardo stepped in and pried Lucretzia out of Aprils' grasp while Heero pulled April over to sit in a chair.

Lucretzia squirmed out of Milliardo's grasp and went over to her daughter, "I'm sorry April…I didn't mean to, please don't run off again. They…they might find you." Lucretzia begged

"Why!! Why would you care you can't even keep a god damned promise!" April shouted and jumped out of the chair. She pushed pass Milliardo and anyone else in her way and ran out the door, not bothering to close it.

Lucretzia ran to the door to look for her daughter but she and her motorcycle were nowhere to be seen. "April!!!!" she called out onto the street, silence was her answer.

Lucretzia slowly closed the door and leaned against the doorframe, the tears slowly rolled down her pale cheeks. She thumped her head against the doorframe softly, "Stupid, stupid, stupid." She mumbled before she slid to the floor and buried her face in her hands. Her back shaking up and down with sobs.

The other occupants in the room were quizzically trying to figure out what had just happened and why. Sally and Hilde went over to Lucretzia and tried to get her to talk about what had happened but Lucretzia would reply only with her tears and sobs. Milliardo gently place a hand on her shoulder and she sat rigid for a moment becoming silent, not moving and not even breathing, until she began her crying once again.

Hitomi had heard the shattering of glass and had told the others to stay where they where while she went down to check. She found Lucretzia sitting on the floor crying, for what reason she did not know, but she did know that was not where she was supposed to be doing. "And what do you think you're doing Lucretzia Noin?" She called out from the stairway her voice cold and hard.

Lucretzia stopped her crying and looked up, for a second she thought that it was April, but then she saw all black hair and deep brown eyes. Her brows scrunched in frustration as she tried to think of an answer.

"I know what you're doing you're crying. What the hell are you crying about, did someone die? I see no dead bodies so why are you cowering in the corner?!" Hitomi asked her words harsher than her tone.

"Hitomi don't…" Her mother started.

"No I want to know why she's crying, Why are you crying Lucretzia. I would think that a woman who scored top in her ranks wouldn't be weak. So what the hell are you doing?" Hitomi asked louder this time.

"April...le…left and I don't know where she went." Lucretzia answered looking up to Hitomi her voice trembling.

"So are your legs broken, can you not drive, do you not have eyes? Well then get up and look for her woman!" Hitomi shouted.

      Lucretzia stopped her crying and stood, "Yes, yes I…we should go look for her, no one gets left behind; I don't want to think about what could happen to you all." She said as she looked around the room and surveyed their faces.

"Why don't the others get left behind Lucretzia?" Sally asked softly

"It's too dangerous for them." She replied her hands clenched tightly into fists.

"Alright then, uncle Quatre how about I take everyone else to your house and then you all can go looking for April." Hitomi called taking the initiative.

"Good idea Hitomi." Heero said as he offered his niece and Goddaughter a small smile, and a brief nod.

"Thanks uncle Heero, but I am afraid that my convertible won't fit everyone." She said and gave a sly smile as she held out her hand to Heero.

"No way are you driving my new car, nah uh." Heero said as he crossed his arms over his chest, Hitomi had been pestering him since forever to drive his new SUV.

"Aw come on Heero buddy," Duo said as he draped his arm across his friend's shoulders "Let the girl have a little fun; it's not like she'll drive it off a cliff," Duo exaggerated his claim by rolling his eyes. "Isn't that right Hitomi?" He asked with a wink in her direction.

"Right uncle Duo, I just want everyone to be safe while I'm driving. Some of us can go in Heero's SUV while the others go in my convertible." Hitomi explained to Heero.

      He pouted for a moment and seemed to be deliberating the idea and slowly he sighed and handed Hitomi his car keys. "If you scratch it Hitomi, I will kill you." He promised his eyes glaring at her.

Hitomi snatched the keys from out his grasp and planted a kiss on his cheek, "I love you too uncle Heero." She said with a smile and bounded back up the stairs.

Heero only sighed and glanced over at Wufei.

"I hope you have good insurance Heero." Wufei joked with a slight smirk.

Heero was about to glare at this remark but soon found a better idea, "Yeah but she probably only wants to use it so she and Tristin can sit in the backseat and make out." He said in a haunting tone, his smirk broadening into a smile.

Wufei began to first turn a rosy pink and then to a harsh shade of red, he clenched his hands into fists.

"Uh oh," Duo murmured as he stepped slowly away from Heero and Wufei. "I think there's steam coming from his ears, Heero you've done it this time." Duo remarked nodding his head, his now knee length hair bobbing against his back.

Sally sighed and smacked her husband upside the head with her hand, "I'm sorry to interrupt this little banter, but there are more pressing matters at hand and you two need to stop acting like children and grow up. We have to go find April before she gets herself into any trouble." She stated her hands firmly placed on her hips.

Wufei and Heero stopped and looked to Lucretzia sheepishly, after all it was her daughter that was missing.

      10 minutes and much shouting and yelling later the selected passengers were finally on their way to finding April and reuniting mother and daughter.

Sally sat in the back of the mini van driven by Duo; she was sitting near Lucretzia silently watching her as she listlessly stared out of the window.

"You know she brought meaning to my life when she was born," Lucretzia murmured quietly as she continued to look out the window, her eyes watery with unshed tears. "But she wasn't born in exactly the best conditions." Lucretzia added with a slight shrug of her small shoulders.

"Lucretzia, who was April's father?" Hilde asked from the last seat in the back.

Lucretzia let out a cold and cynical laugh; "I wouldn't call him her father, hell I don't even know which of the bastards that…" she trailed off and turned to them her eyes searching theirs.

She let out a long and tired sigh, "My house has ears, I'm sure it listens, I cannot speak a word in my house with ears." She recited softly then turned to the window again.

      She turned back to them this time her eyes empty and hollow. "For ten years I was in prison, from the year AC 201 to the year AC 211. They put me there because they had finally found me; I don't know why they didn't kill me like they had the rest of my family. If you could name a torture they put me through it beatings, electrical shocks, trying to drown me many times, hanging me upside down for days at a time, injecting God only knew what into me…and they raped me. I fought back as long as I was able to but soon they deprived me of food and water and of course I was weak. When I found out that I was pregnant I decided that my child was not going to be born in that hell, and so I killed them all by self-detonating the base. I escaped with only the clothes on my back and the growing child inside of me. Needless to say the journey was rough but with the war going on I was able to disguise myself as an injured civilian, the doctors at a military base took care of me and feed me because I was malnourished. When my term was up April was delivered after only ten hours of labor and at midnight on the last day of May. I named her April for many reasons one being that April was Relena's favorite month and that April was the month in which I met Milliardo; also it seemed to fit her," Lucretzia said with a small sad smile and toyed with the locket around her neck. "We moved from house to house never staying in one place too long for my fear of them finding us and no one was going to take my baby from me, no one. We finally moved back to the Cinq kingdom and have lived in that house the longest so far two or three months. I didn't contact you all for your safety as well as our own; I didn't want you all to be burdened by me when you already have your family to worry about. You all just seemed so happy and I didn't want to ruin it, but it seems that I have." Lucretzia explained and turned from their pitying gaze to studying her hands in her lap.

"Oh Lu…" Sally murmured and hugged her friend, who didn't reject the hug but accepted it with open arms.

Hilde and Catherine each reached over and enveloped Lucretzia in their arms, each of them had tears falling out of their own eyes. They stayed like that in a warm embrace when suddenly the van screeched to a stop jolting the passengers. Duo turned and looked back at the passengers in the back seat and nodded.

"I think we've found her." He said as he pointed to a lone girl sitting on a park bench, a midnight blue motorcycle parked on the road.

      Lucretzia jumped out of the van and ran to her daughter; April stood and glared at her mother. The occupants of the van stayed back and watched the scene unfold before them. The two argued for a moment before April shrugged her shoulders and nodded to the motorcycle. Lucretzia nodded and went back to the van; she got in and closed the door.

"She said she'd follow behind us, let's go over to Quatre's place." Lucretzia explained to them.

Duo shrugged and started the car once again he pulled away from the curb and into traffic. A loud screeching sound of metal against metal interrupted the silence that had fallen in the van.
