So... I took a long time to update once again... hontoni gomen! Well... this one's short... really really shortand full of nonsense.. I simply have no more inspiration... And.. I'm really thinking about ending the fic soon...:(
Since there were only a few of them, everyone sat on just one table. They talked and reminisced about the war and also about the Mariemaia incident. They were in a very happy mood until Wu Fei raised a certain topic. "It's a shame though... that Treize died…" Each one remained quiet and still, staring at Lady Une with pity. However, Lady Une was not to be pitied. She smiled, stood up, and said, "I guess it's time to show you what this party's all about." She climbed up the staircase and knocked on the double doors located at the top. She whispered something that cannot be heard. The door then opened wide, and out came Treize. Though he was wearing his old blue OZ uniform, he still looked handsome. Heero and Wu Fei sprang up while every one else sat gaping at him.
Clash! (A/N: I don't know the SFX for glass breaking. Forgive me.)
A masked man broke in through the glass window. (1) He was carrying a sword and attacked Treize straight away. Treize, though in comatose for three years, was still as good as ever. He brought out his sword and blocked the attack just in time.
"Zechs, you're here. Or shall I call you Milliardo?" exclaimed an excited Treize. He could feel his blood boiling with the want to duel.
"Hmmm! You still haven't lost you sense of humor, Treize!" replied Milliardo. Noin ran up to Une carrying Millie with a worried expression on her face. "Une, let's stop them…"
"There is no need." Une really seemed to enjoy the duel of the two. She spoke with the excitement of a child waiting for her new toy. "They're having fun. I haven't seen Treize like this for quite a long time." A sudden 'clang' startled them. The swords of the two flew up into the air in different directions at the same time. They shook each others hands, signaling that the duel has ended. "Milliardo, my friend, it's been a long time."
"Yes, it has. And I'm surprised that you're still alive."
"Not only you, I'm afraid." He said with an anxious smile. He faced his friends, or rather, former enemies. A spell of silence was cast on them and no one could break it. They were dumbfounded.
Until at long last, "Lady Une, please explain this to us." Relena was the first to muster up the courage to ask.
Une wasn't surprised and yet she hesitated. "Sigh Please sit down, all of you. I'm the only one who knows the whole story but I'll try to keep it short. I—I don't want to recall that day anymore, you see." She waited for any reactions but everyone sat down and stayed silent. She paced around the room having thousands of second thoughts. She stopped finally, took a deep breath, and started. "Three years ago, when Wu Fei supposedly killed Treize, I was at a nearby ship. When I got the news, I knew Treize was prepared for this. But I was not. I got in a Taurus suit and went to the remains. I saw the cockpit safe. I hurried towards it, hoping that there might still be a chance to save Treize. I found his lifeless body in it. I checked his pulse. It was weak, but it was still there; Treize was still alive. Hurriedly, I took him and brought him to base. A few talented doctors there helped and we managed to save him. He has been in this mansion… for three years… in comatose."
Not one spoke. Everyone had a hard time taking it in. A minute passed, two, or maybe three. Une lost track of time. She knew she did something unforgivable. But how could she help it? She loves Treize, but she can't tell anyone that he's alive. She couldn't look them in the eye. She did something horrible. She…
"So you lied to us." A cold voice said quite calmly. "All these years you lied to us. You made us worry about you crying over Treize when all this time he's breathing."
Une looked up to see Heero. She felt fear and nervousness swell inside her. Heero… Of all the people…why you? If it was Duo or Quatre that spoke she wouldn't feel this way. She was just too damn afraid of Heero and those Prussian blue eyes. Some say those were the eyes of an angel; but to her, it were the eyes of a heartless killer.
"He's right, Une," chimed Duo from the side. "You should have told us." Duo turned to look at Heero then to Une. He saw from the corner of his eye Heerostanding upmenacingly. "Heero, forgive her, would ya? If Relena died in a war and was in a coma state and there were a lot of people after her, wouldn't you do the same?"
Heero turned sharply. "That's a different story, Duo."
"No, it's not. Sit down, Heero, and let's enjoy seeing each other once again as friends."Duo's voice had a sharp and commanding ring to it.That was the first and last time that Duo ordered Heero to do something, which Heero surprisingly followed. Even Duo himself was amazed.
"So, uhm, shall we start dinner?" said Quatre timidly.
Treize agreed. He felt that Une would be too emotionally weak to take charge at the time. "Yes, I do think we better do before something else bad happens." He motioned to Claude and the feast has begun.
oooooooooooooooooooo
"W-wait a minute… Miss Noin, who or what is that?" Duo inquired out of the blue while pointing to the baby Noin was holding. Everyone's attention was called to the baby. Millie was so behaved that no one noticed her all through the meal.
Hilde cried, "Duo! That's a baby! It is not a thing! Therefore, you do not ask WHAT it is!"
A burst of laughter went around the room. Relena looked at her brother, "Milliardo, is she your baby?"
"Yes. We wanted you to see her. That was why we came here in the first place…" answered Milliardo.
"What's her name, Miss Noin?" she asked, filled with curiosity with what they named the baby. "Oh, it's Millie." Noin replied beaming.
"Millie? Her name's Millie, huh?" mused Relena. She took the baby from Noin and held it in her arms. "Lady Une, now that I think of it, why is Mariemaia not here?"
Lady Une did not answer; in fact, she was no longer to be seen around. "Where is Lady Une?" Relena nervously asked. Treize stood up immediately; he was worried. He did not know why nor understood that feeling. What he did know was that he had to find Une.
oooooooooooooooooooo
For the whole time, Une was in a guest room lying ona bed, shaking, trembling, crying. The room was dark, the only source of light was from the outside.
Heero's eyes, she thought, they were terrifying… Those eyes… were eyes of murder… He wanted to kill me… but why? It can't be because I lied… What? What is it?An hour... or maybe more...these were the only things in her mind. She cried more, burying her face in her pillow. Her hair was strewn all around. She looked so cluttered physically and confused emotionally. Her beautiful brown eyes were red with tears. For a long period of time, she was like this.
I… I didn't mean to… Forgive me… Please… No... I love him... I wanted to protect him... Forgive me... Everyone... Heero... Her eyes suddenly lit up with an idea. "Could it be… that he wants to kill me because I deprived him the opportunity to battle Treize?" This reason made the most sense. She sat up and stayed motionless. Another thought struck her. "No… it isn't me he wants to kill… It's Treize…" She brought her hands to her face and continued to cry…
Oooooookay... That was nonsense... Oh well... I'm going to have you guys vote if I end this fic next chap or not... Please do so or I'll hunt you down using the review reply! evil laugh Anyway, review please! Thanks)
