Here's the next chapter :) Please review again. Tell me if there are any grammatical/spelling/chronological/ etc errors… I'm not the type who reads and rereads her own work… GOMEN!


Une's POV

Une was in her room. She has locked herself in for three whole days having the servants just bring her food in. She was sitting in front of the dresser, looking at her reflection. sighs It's been three long days since I last spoke to him… heck... since I last saw him… Should I apologize? No, I didn't do anything wrong…He should be the one to apologize… She ran her hands through her hair and let her head rest on her palms. I'm tired of all this… I want him to remember me… I want him to love me…

Treize's POV

Trieze, on the other hand, was living quite normally for the last three days… Or so it seems. He always had a way of deceiving people about who he really is. He was at his now favorite place in the mansion, the rose garden. He was strolling around and thinking. Thinking about what? Well, that incident at the balcony. He turned his attention to the balcony, imagining Lady Une standing there with her red hair breezing off with the wind, smiling sweetly at him. I can't stop thinking about her… Is there something wrong with me? I'm going to apologize… I have to… If I don't, I'll risk my chances of knowing who I am… Is that my only reason? I'm so shallow…Perhaps there is more to that… Perhaps nothing else… Talking to myself like this will do me no good… I should just go to her and apologize…

Normal POV

Beep! Beep! Beeep!

A car was outside the gate of Treize's mansion. It was a luxurious white limousine. The gate opened and the car parked along the main door. The major domo instantly came out. He was in such a hurry to open the door that he almost slipped. When he got to the car door, he regained his poise and opened the car door with grace. "Good day to you, Miss Mariemaia."

"Good day to you too, Claude" a soft voice said. "Is Lady Une available?"

The major domo knew about Treize's being alive. He also knew about their fight. Everyone in that mansion knew, but they were sworn to secrecy. They know that if the information should spread outside the mansion's vicinity, the informant shall be killed along with the one who received the information. "I suppose so, m'lady. Please, come in first," the shaky Claude said.

Mariemaia was the daughter of Treize. Although no one is sure about this fact, Mariemaia thinks otherwise. There is also no known woman who had an affair or marriage with Treize. As far as people knew, there had only been two women closest to Treize. One was Lady Une, and the other was Treize's assistant when Une was in comatose. The other woman's name was unknown. One thing we know was that she was somehow involved with the construction of the Gundam Epyon.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Someone knocked at Une's door. "Lady Une, may I come in?" a deep voice called. Lady Une immediately fixed herself. "Yes, you may." She answered. In came Treize. She really wanted him to be the one to apologize first, but she didn't expect her hopeless fantasy to come true. "Lady Une, I want to apologize to you. I had been an arrogant jerk to you. My deepest apologies…" the gentlemanly Treize said. There was a certain sparkle in his eyes that even Une couldn't understand. It was a mixture of sincerity, worry, and sadness. There were also hints of hardship, probably the difficulty of swallowing his pride. Seeing this, Lady Une, without delay, nodded.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Where is Lady Une, Claude? I am tired of waiting!" a very irritated Mariemaia complained.

The poor major domo was suffering the wrath of the Ice Princess for almost half an hour. I don't wonder why she and Lady Une get along pretty well…I won't be surprised if Miss Mariemaia IS Lady Une's daughter… "Miss Mariemaia, please wait just a few more minutes. We are currently trying to call her phone in her room but she hasn't answered yet. She has locked herself in for three consecutive days already."

"What! Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Mariemaia stood up and headed for Une's room. "Uh, Miss Mariemaia, please don't act so rough!" A very, VERY scared Claude called as he tried to go stop her. "Shut up, Claude! I am going to talk to her whether you let me or not!" And, she rushed for Une's chamber.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Lady Une and Treize were both happy. Lady Une was almost in rapture. Now that she has forgiven, she is trying to forget. The two are now chatting like nothing had ever happened. "Lady Une, how can I show you that I have sincerely regretted that certain incident?" questioned Treize out of the blue. Une was speechless. She didn't expect Treize to ask her how he could express his sincerity. "Uh… uhm… Just… Honestly, I don't know… But, Master Treize, I trust you, so… don't worry about it anymore…" Then she smiled a warm, sweet smile; one that Treize had wanted to see. Suddenly, Lady Une stood up and went closer to Treize. "Just hold me… please…" A very startled Treize went to wrap his arms around her as Une whispered, "Thank you…"

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Unbeknownst to them, though, was that someone has seen them and heard every single word they had said for the past ten minutes. This "someone" was Mariemaia.

When Mariemaia has reached Une's room, she was surprised to hear a man's voice. "It's really nice today, isn't it?" she heard him say. "Yes, the weather is nice…" was Lady Une's reply. Mariemaia couldn't help it but be curious. She opened the door quietly and peeked through the small opening. She was shocked to see Treize. She was shocked to see her father. She was shocked to see that he was still alive…

Mariemaia was hyperventilating. Fortunately for her, Une and Treize were too absorbed in their talk to notice her. Once she regained her composure, her mind started to shatter. She felt her head throbbing, and her heart being wrenched apart. My father… my father… my father… my father… That was all she can think of for a few minutes. She decided to listen for awhile to be sure that it is her father. How can he still be alive? gasps Can it be? But it's impossible… that project was never finished… Both the Alliance and the Colonies disapproved the project proposal… No… She peeked again to have a better look and she saw something she wished she never had….then she started to hyperventilate again…

O.o

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Hmm? I hear something from outside…" Lady Une said. She was staring at her door and noticed the small opening. "It's just your imagination, Lady. I hear nothing." replied Treize while shrugging his shoulders. Lady Une stalked to the door, "Just to be sure," she told him. Mariemaia was frozen to the spot. If she ran, Lady Une'll hear and find out; if she stayed, Lady Une will still find out! Mariemaia is definitely in a very sticky situation...


Well, hopefully I'll have new ideas to what'll happen next… if you have any suggestions, pray tell!

A/N: This is the longest chapter in this story as of yet… And I think it WILL be the longest in the whole fic… I'm not too fond of writing long since I tend to get wordy and boring… hey, I'm talking about me, okay? Don't get offended, ne?

Thanks for those who reviewed!
