"You said that you weren't their son." Trowa said, more of a question than a statement.

"I'm not. They think that I am, but I'm not." Heero said, turning over to face away from Trowa.

"I thought they looked differently from you. None of them had brunet hair."

"That's not true." Heero said, not turning around to face him. He closed his eyes. "Srei did. She knew something was wrong and up with that screwed up family." He said, Trowa having a confused and almost astouunded look crossed his features.

"Srei?"

"She was like my sister, or a very good friend. We were a lot alike..." Heero said quietly. "Because she figured something was wrong she must have gotten herself killed."

"Gotten herself killed?" Trowa questioned, intrigued by this whole conversation.

Heero turned and face him, his head lowered as he still held the gun in his hand. He pocketed it and then stood up, walking towards the door. "They murdered her." He said without emotion and left the room, leaving Trowa staring at where he had once been in shock.

Chapter 3:

Trowa sat down at the table where the other pilot's awaited their news. Heero had left for a walk down in the city below about fifteen minutes before. Duo tried to stop him, but ended up with a gun pointed under his chin.

"So, what happened? I didn't hear a bullet fire." Duo said, a little rattled from the whole incident.

"It was weird..." Trowa said, still thinking about what Heero had said. 'He isn't the type to lie. He is telling the truth and is dead serious.' He thought. 'Why would they want to kill someone and what did this Srei find out?'

"Trowa? What did he say?" Quatre questioned.

"I asked him about the whole thing about how they thought he was their son." He said.

"But he is their son...right?" Quatre asked, a little worried about what the answer would be.

"He's not. I brought up what Wufei said about the whole hair color thing too," Wufei looked up at this, wanting to know what he said to this. "He said that I was wrong and that there was one that had brunet hair."

"Huh? But all of them had blonde hair, unless they died it, which I highly doubt. That looked natural." Their hair had looked somewhat like Quatre's for the daughter, Merri.

"Srei. She wasn't there." Trowa said shortly, a lump growing in his throat, knowing Quatre would ask where she was or someone else if he didn't.

"Srei? That person Heero mentioned?" Duo asked. "I thought she was dead by the way they looked."

"She is. They killed her." Trowa said simply, holding back the urge to scream at them and find out the truth. There were so much puzzles still missing.

Heero walked past them, closing the door sharply to his room and the audible click of the lock was flicked on.

"What?!" Quatre said, jumping out of his chair making it topple over.

"You're joking." Wufei said, jerking up into a more rigid position.

"No way! Why would they kill a person?" Duo exclaimed hurriedly.

"Heero said that she and him were the only ones who figured something was up. Heero, I'm guessing wasn't kidnapped by the doctor, but ran away and ended up doing Operation M to get away from them. Srei was left alone and I guess Heero was her protection and she was murdered." Trowa said silently.

"God..." Duo muttered. 'How can they kill someone so innocent?! No wonder Heero hates their gut's and wants them to go to hell.' He thought, clenching and unclenching his fists.

"This is an injustice!" Wufei shouted, getting up from his chair and pacing the room.

The door knocked. "That must be Relena. I called her and since it involved Heero she came as fast as she could. She doesn't really know about the whole reunion thing yet." Duo said, scratching his head while explaining this to them. He got up and opened the door. Relena stood their, thunderclouds threatening to pour water onto the parched soil any minute now.

"Duo, how is Heero?" She asked when the door opened quickly. He opened it up wider for her, motioning her in.

"He's fine. I think." He said, letting out a cheesy smile. She walked in as raindrops began to fall.

He led Relena down the hall towards a close and locked door. They heard the audible click of a gun's safety being pulled out of place. Another click and it was ready to fire. Relena felt tense when she heard this and heard an audible gulp come from Duo.

"Heero?" Relena asked. "Heero are you here?" Relena asked gently knocking the door.

"What?" he asked irritation obvious in his voice. Duo probably staged this too.

"Can I come in?" She heard someone get off the bed and unlock the door and open it. Relena blushed when she saw Heero wasn't wearing a shirt and his fine toned chest made her heart skip a beat. He walked back to the bed, glaring at Duo all the way as he edged away with his hand in surrender.

He fell onto the bed, still fingering his gun and he toddled with it and looked it over to see what could be changed to make it a better weapon. "Why are you here?" He questioned, not glancing at her.

"I...um...got a call from Duo. Are you all right?" Heero looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"What do you think?" He asked, annoyed at the questioned. "Let me guess, Duo and the other's didn't tell you." He said simply.

"Tell me what?" Relena asked, annoyed that she had been misinformed of something. Something that involved Heero. "What did the others not tell me?" She asked determined to find out what they didn't tell her.

"So they didn't," He said looking at her. "Good." He said, looking back at his gun, showing that he didn't want to talk a lot.

Relena got up stiffly and walked out of the room, quite mad about this. She stormed into the kitchen where the others were talking in hushed voices. They stopped talking when they heard her coming into the room.

"Tell me what, huh?" She said, anger in her voice. "You better tell me right now." She said hotly.

They sighed and Duo told the whole story, being the one who was the most likely candidate because he talked the most and the others were almost all talked out.

After the whole story was done, Relena turned stiffly on her heel and went straight back to Heero's room, barging in to wake him up from the slight nap he had wandered into.

"What?" He asked groggily a bit. Relena had to let out a smile seeing him like this, being angry with herself from dragging him from his slumber, but this was important.

"I found out what they didn't tell me and I want the whole story." She said, looking at him in an almost begging way.

Heero, not quite awake to argue with her sighed in defeat. It had been a long day as he fell back onto the pillow as she closed the door, making sure the others were still elsewhere. Heero lay down on the pillow heavily and looked up at the ceiling with the red pained piece of paper.

"When I was little I was trained by an organization from the day I was born," He said starting from the beginning. "I was given a foster family with a lot of money so they could be of some financial gain for the training and they supported the rebellion. They took care of me though it was only temporary until my training was done. I lived a lot of times in the base until they built a training session inside the mansion for me so I would never have to leave the premises. I should have known by then that something was wrong."

"How old were you?" Relena asked, surprised that something could get past Heero that looked suspicious.

"Four or so." He said simply, getting a look from Relena, which said clearly: 'Four! You can't blame yourself!' and something else that was shocked he was trained at such a young age. "Srei was like a younger sister to me. She was three, though we weren't related. She was adopted also and trained in political ideals and reining. That was the other clue. I protected her, but whenever I was going away she begged me to stay with her. I couldn't though and when I left, they sometimes beat her.

I had to leave for operation M training under stricter rules and I ran away from them to go to my trainers because they suggested that I needed more training and so I did it.

I left Srei and for that I didn't mean. I would have taken her, but it was against the rules." He lowered his head in almost a sorrowfully way. "She died because I didn't come back and save her."

"Oh, Heero...I'm so sorry..." Relena said, getting up from her chair to sit on the bed next to him.

"I found out they were going to use me and the Rebellion group to take over the colonies and the Earth since they are richer than Quatre's family. They hunted me down for this purpose and now they have come back and Srei will be haunting me." He said simply.

Thunder crashed outside and the rain fell down in sheets.

There was a pounding on the door that drew Relena from her reverie. "Who could that be?" She questioned.

Heero and Relena walked out of the room, him not even bothering to grab a shirt and pulled it open to see a barely conscious figure standing there. She looked up, her deep sapphire eyes made Heero look at her, shocked. Her brown hair which went above her shoulders slightly was dripping in rain. She wore a black T-shirt that was like a second skin and blue jeans that flared but were soaked through.

Her eyes looked up and gazed at Heero intently. "L-loch..." She whispered, before falling forward. Heero caught her by reflex and closed the door. The others came to see who was at the door and took in the girl in Heero's arms and Relena who looked slightly jealous but curiosity in her voice.

"Who is Loch?" She asked Heero intently.

He didn't acknowledge her or move. "S-srei?" He was able to mutter before falling onto her form, knocked out by something.

"Heero!" Relena shouted, pulling him off the girl checking for a pulse or what made him pass out. The other's bent down to help and found a tranquilizer protruding from near his shoulder.

"He said Srei, didn't he?" Quatre asked, his gaze now on the limp girl with soaking wet clothes.

"Yeah, he did..." Everyone now had their gaze on the young woman...
