Three kidnap attempts and a year later found me living with Zechs. After the second kidnapping, he had insisted that I move in with him. I was weary at first because we never did anymore more than 69. The reason for this was because a part of me was afraid that if I had sex with Zechs, he would leave me.

I had to move to Sanq because Une had argued that I would be safer there and it would be hard for the terrorists to get to me. She claimed that they wouldn't be stupid enough to mess with Preventers in their own territory. Of course Une had been proven wrong three times. Normally third time is a charm, but lucky for lil ol' me, that the bad guys had no luck whatsoever. Or else I wouldn't be spoiled by Zechs.

I know he doesn't want me to feel that he is just going to leave me or did what Heero did to me. But sometimes that is hard. I mean Heero was my first love. And I was sure that he loved me, but maybe I was wrong. I mean the guy wouldn't kiss me with as much passion as he does his husband.

Heero has, of course, corrupted our mutual friends into thinking I was an abusive bastard. And that it was my fault that he was 'heartbroken.' Q-bean even slapped me when I first saw him. Heero had taken away my friends trust of me. What was a guy to do? Fortunately I still had Une on my side. But still, my heart ached for Quatre's understanding and warmth and Trowa's comfortable silence.

Heero and Wufei didn't help any either. Whenever they stopped by, they made sure they were all over each other. I ignored it for the most part…but something seemed wrong about Heero. He would never show affection in front of other people. He was uncomfortable about that. It made me wonder what had happened to change Heero so quickly. I mean the kiss that I had witnessed before I took off seemed odd. I shook the thought off as me still having feelings for the bastard.

I turned my gaze from the room and looked out the window. It was a dreary day and it went with my mood. I wondered why I couldn't trust Zechs with my heart. Shinigami knew I loved the man…maybe I was questioning his love for me. I mean here he was a prince, what the hell did he want with a street rat? I mean I had nothing, no money, no family and now that I am in Sanq, with no home of my own. I lived in Zechs' apartment all the time.

There were always Preventers outside the apartment. I wasn't allowed the leave building. Heaven forbid if I wanted to leave here for awhile. Which brought a devious thought to my head; I could sneak past the agents easily. I had before. Right now I wanted to see Zechs. I needed to be held. I knew he was at Preventers HQ.

I arrived at HQ in approximately half an hour later. The guards had been a little tricky but I had managed to slip past them. I had my hair tucked in my shirt collar; I had to make sure that no one would recognize me. If they did I was dead. I made my way through the main part of the foyer and jumped into the elevator.

I hit the button for the second floor. My mind wandered to the key that G had supposedly given me. I'm pretty sure that he hadn't. I had wracked my brain so many times…that all the information and memories just flew by like airplanes on a route. The only thing I remember having since before G was my cross. But hell, that couldn't be a key. There's no way that key could…KUSO! G would, he had the sick mind to turn something so precious to me into a key for a bio weapon.

I knew I had to get the information to Zechs as soon as possible. When the doors opened, I rushed out of the elevator and made my way to Zechs' office. As I made my way I stopped. There were two people, my old ways of being a gundam pilot told me.

I could hear Zechs' sexy tone drift through the door. "Will you marry me?"

My breath hitched where it was. Who the hell was he proposing to? Why the hell wasn't it me? A familiar pain washed over my heart as I waited for the person to answer. A part of me hoped that he was just practicing with a mirror.

That thought was destroyed as I heard a female voice answer him. "I will." It was Noin's voice. Noin who had convinced me that Zechs actually loved me and who had been a sister to me for this past hellish year. I blocked the tears that were threatening to pour. I turned around from where I was and made my way back to the elevator.

Duo Maxwell was going to disappear for good this time and no one was going to find him. As I made my past another office, someone grabbed me from behind and placed a cloth over my mouth and I stopped fighting…

Finally an update. Gomen for the delay…I've been so busy with college work that I have time to barely breath, even to think. I hope you like this chapter. Answers will be in the next chapter. Read and enjoy….
