Chapter Thirty-Six: Family-Affair part Three

Thank you to all those that reviewed my story. I really appreciate it. Also, I've got a new one out there, 'Starting Over' a DBZ/SM crossover. Read it and review it too please. I'd love to see what you have to say. It's sort of getting off to a rough start, but hey, so did this one.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Millardo and Trieze sat comfortably in their flat that they had rented on Colony 4, talking to three old friends: Alexander Grayson, Mark Prescott, and Jackson Manix.

"So that's what you guys are doing here, other than looking for information about these attacks. Have any of them been accepted by their families yet?" Alex asked.

He was a strapping young man of twenty-five. He had short black hair, spiked wildly, and cool, icy blue eyes. He was tanned and very handsome. He was also one of the best spies in the past twenty years.

Jackson was also a very handsome young man of twenty-four. He had short blonde hair, also spiked wildly. His eyes were a deep, navy blue. He was tanned and completely gorgeous. He too was one of the best spies in the past twenty years.

Mark was handsome and single, though he seemed to always have a date on the weekends if he wasn't working. He had brown hair, in a longer version of Jack and Alex's hair. His dark brown eyes were always bright and on alert. He was paler than the other two, but still a healthy brown. He was the number one spy.

"Actually yes, Duo was the first. His parents sort of began to figure it out. Wufei was next. The doctor that kidnapped him told his parents without his knowledge."

"That just leaves Heero and Trowa." Jackson said, his voice deep and smooth, almost creamy.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Trowa walked down the hallway of his parent's large mansion on Colony 2. They were there for a meeting. He had been with them for a month and it was now the end of January.

Cathrine walked towards him. As it turned out, Cathrine Bloom and himself were related. They were cousins through their grandparents.

::FLASHBACK::

"Hello Trowa." A voice said from behind him while he was walking down the hallway.

He turned around quickly and saw Cathy. "Cathy, why did you do it?"

"Why did I lie to you, telling you that you were my long-lost brother Trident? I didn't want you hurt. You looked so much like Cousin Tony, that I knew you had to be his son, but I didn't want to scare you away by telling you that your parents were a political family and that you were fighting against your family, so I told you that you were my brother. Not many people now this, but I own the circus, that's why I helped you get the job. Trowa, please believe me, I didn't want you hurt."

"I've been hurt before Cathy, I'm fine."

"You are not. You're searching for you family to accept you. I'm family and I have accepted you. Trowa. . .don't hurt them by shutting them out. They don't deserve to loose you again, especially if you really are alive like they've prayed for through all of these years."

"I won't Cathy. . .but not everyone has your big heart."

"Your mother does." She whispered.

::END FLASHBACK::

"Trowa, there's someone I want you to meet." Cathy said smiling at him.

"Who?" He asked, not sure what she was getting at. Sometimes, her smiles were just too wide.

"My real brother, Cader." She said, sighing that he thought she was up to something. ~Right as usual.~

Trowa just nodded. Suspicion clearing up a little, but not much.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

"Do you think that he'll tell us. I mean, I really want to hear it from him. Not that I'm not glad that Cathrine told us, but I want to hear about his life from him." Sophia said, pacing back and forth.

Anthony Russo had given up listening to his wife quite a while ago and was now listening to his own thoughts. ~He's alive and well. . .and a Gundam pilot. He has no memories, whatsoever, of us.~

Cader Bloom was waiting to meet his cousin that Cathrine had just gone on and on about when he joined the circus. Cader had been anxious to meet him since Cathy had told him about Trowa.

Cathrine and Trowa walked in, with Cathrine practically dragging Trowa.

Cader smiled. ~Same old Cathy~

Trowa looked at her like she was crazy, dragging him all the way here, wanting him to hurry as fast as he could, like Cader would disappear into thin air all because of him.

"What's up cousin?" Cader said, smiling.

Trowa looked at him like he was crazy. ~Hope it's only in their side of the family.~

"Cader, this is Anthony, Anthony, darling, this is Cader, your cousin. Cathrine's twin brother."

Now Trowa looked at his parents with wide eyes. ~THEY KNEW!?~

"Cathrine told us everything. Why didn't you just come and tell us? We would have accepted you with open arms."

"I didn't know how you would react." He said simply, sending death- glares to Cathrine.

Cader smiled wider, noticing these glares. "Meddlesome, isn't she? I believe she gets that from our mother."

Cathrine sent him a glare. "I'm gonna tell mom you said that. . .and I could tell her that you're dating someone without letting her meet the girl."

Cader's eyes got wide. "Please don't! I'll get into so much trouble! She won't mind about the meddlesome crack, but. . .wait a sec, how did you know about Dorothy?"

Cathrine's eyes lit up. "So there is a girl!"

Cader sweat dropped. ~Shoulda known.~

Trowa smirked. "Are they always like this?" He asked his parents from his seat on the couch.

"Always." Sophia said to her son and smiled.

"He's right though. Their mother is extremely meddlesome and Cathrine is no different if she wants to be." His father told him.

"So, Cader. . .what's her last name."

Cader mumbled something.

"Her last name is Cantaloupe?" Cathrine said, not understanding.

"Dorothy Catalonia?" Trowa asked, looking at Cader in surprise.

"You know her?"

"Yes. Somewhat." Trowa answered.

Anthony shook his head. Trowa was going to be harassed by Cathrine for information before the day was out. He could tell by the gleam in her eyes.

Trowa and his parents where walking in the open market in Rome. It was a warm winter day, meant for turtlenecks and sweaters.

Trowa stopped when he heard a loud bang, quickly drawing his gun and getting his parents under cover.

The gunman, or rather, gunwoman appeared, floating in air. "Now where did they go?" She said, looking around rather stupidly.

Trowa sighed. This one was definitely not all there. He figured that this one would like it better if she was in front of her mirror with lots of make-up, but he didn't want to under-estimate her. If she was sent to kill, than she must be better than she seemed.

Trowa shot two bullets at her, one whizzing by her ear, the other grazing her shoulder.

"OW! That hurt!" She shouted. She quickly transformed into a yoma with teal skin and purple hair. For weapons she had two cannons for arms, which made Trowa's eyebrows go up.

~That's not good. . .~

The yoma began to fire cannonballs at him. Trowa quickly ran and did his trademark flip, making her watch in awe. ~Definitely not a smart one.~ He thought as he pulled the trigger, sending the bullet straight into her heart.

The yoma screamed out in pain before turning into dust.
