I'm back.

Disclaimers: *Sigh* I...*Sighs again* Oh, fine. I don't own them! Happy? Heh, oops.

Thanks to Mama-Sama once again for her review. I also want to thank Shadow Dagger, and AngeloflightPd@aol.com for their reviews as well. Thank you so much. Yes, I realize I didn't get 5 review for this chapter, but it doesn't matter anymore. Yes, I want reviews, but doesn't matter how many. I just like reviews, that's all. Ley told me that reviews were a bonus, and she's right. I like reviews anyway, so there.

Okay, enough rambling. Here's the next, very awaited (Sorry, a little writer's block. Bad thing.) chapter.

Oh, and the first chapter of my Card Captors story is now posted. If you like Card Captors, please read and review.

Chapter 8

Titled: "Welcome home" and first introductions

"..." Means someone's talking

'...' Means someone's thinking

AN: Author's notes

The next day...

"Oh, sir, it's good to have you home."

"It's good to be home. Where is my wife?"

"She's waiting for your arrival just--"

"Lord Milliardo!" They turn around, and then Milliardo opens his arms just as Noin comes up to him, hugs him, and quickly kisses him.

"Hello Lady Noin." He looks at the man who greeted him, and with a nod, the man walks off.

"I missed you so much Zechs."

"I missed you too Noin. You've been taking care of yourself, haven't you?"

"Oh, you worry too much. You told Sally to watch me, and she watched me with an overly careful eye. And it's all your fault."

"I worry about you. Now that--"

"I know, and I have good news."

"What is it?"

"You know how the search for the girls was begun?"

"Yes."

"Heero found them."

"He did? Where? When? Where are they?"

"Just be patient and I'll tell you. Heero found them all in an auction. He brought them the day you had to leave in the morning. They're inside right now."

"And Relena is--"

"In there too. You should see her. She's grown up so much."

"Let's go see them right now."

"You do realize that she won't remember you, right?"

"I know."

"Are you going to tell her?"

"Not right now."

"Why not?"

"She doesn't need to know."

"What are you talking about? Why would you keep such a secret from her? Don't you think she'd like to know who you really are to her?"

"Yes, but not now."

"Okay, I understand. Let's go meet them."

A few minutes later...

"Relena?"

"Oh, sorry Hilde. What were you saying?"

"Snap out of it. This is the third time I try to get your attention."

"I'm sorry."

"What are you thinking? You've been out of it since we were introduced to Lord Milliardo. What's wrong?"

"Oh, uh..." She stops, as she remembers the introduction. "...It's nothing."

"Oh, come on I don't believe it. No one stays out of it for no reason."

"I do."

"Oh, come on Relena."

"Don't worry about it Hilde, I'll be fine."

"You say so."

"Hey girls, what's going on?"

"Angel, Adriana, where have you two been?" Relena asks.

"Oh, uh, um, garden." Adriana stutters.

"What for? And just you two?" Hilde asks.

"Uh, well, yes." Angel answers.

"You're both liars. You two were with Quatre and Trowa, right? Come on, tell us the truth." Hilde says.

"Okay, so we were. So?" Adriana asks.

"Oh no, just curious. Did you two have fun?" Hilde asks with a curious smile.

"Okay, I'm leaving. Good day you two."

"I'll follow. Good day." Angel finishes, as she follows Adriana, and Hilde starts laughing.

"Why don't they just admit they had a good time. You know what? I'm going to go look for Duo. I'm bored."

"What?"

"What?"

"Are you kidding?"

"No, I'm bored. Maybe you should do the same thing."

"Uh, no thank you."

"Suit yourself. See you later."

A few hours later...

Relena sighs, as she puts down her brush, and then with another sigh, walks outside in her light blue nightgown. 'What is wrong with me tonight? Why can't I concentrate on anything?'

"Princess, Princess." Relena turns her head when hearing the whisper, but sees no one.

'Oh, great, and now I'm imagining things. Wonderful Relena. Next thing you know I'm going to see fairies.'

"Oh, Princess Relena." Relena turns around again, and then her eyes go wide, as she sees a small figure floating in front of her face.

'I don't believe this.'

End of chapter. How was this chapter? Please read and review. I'll try not to take as long to get the next chapter out. But I have to work on my Card Captors fic as well. And I'm starting a new GW fic, and hopefully, a CB fic, and an FF VII fic too. But not all at once. Thank you all again. Please read and review! Any errors found, I apologize for.
