Hi! Feel free to grab a knife and stab me... I know it's been ages since I've updated but I've been extremely busy... Juggling school, friends, and work isn't easy... Especially since I'm currently at the helm of our class's own fiction story...

This isn't as good as normal. I really rushed this since some of my friends are close to killing me. Plus, I didn't really proofread too much... My apologies once again!

A thick sounding scream was heard throughout the house. It was Une's voice. Relena stood up in surprise and almost ran towards Une. It's a good thing that Heero, with his quick reflexes, stopped her in time. What was happening upstairs was to be left unknown to them.

oooooooooooooooooooo

The sudden burst of Treize inside the room startled Une. She screamed to the top of her lungs. "Lady! Lady! What's wrong?" cried Treize. "Lady? Lady Une!" Une was shaking uncontrollably; even as Treize held her, she was still trembling and had begun to shout. She was, in a word, inthe brink of insanity. Treize, on the other hand, was confused as to what to do. He didn't know… His head tells him to slap the hell out of her; but his heart tells him to let her be, like a child in her tantrums. Such a dilemma! Should he follow his heart? Or his head? Confusion led to stupidity; and stupidity led to anger. He was angry, not at Une, but at himself. He never knew himself to be indecisive. He always thought that he was a strong leader whose weakness is a well-guarded skeleton in the closet. Yet, he cannot do anything to Une, can't help her, can't be anything to her…

He felt himself stop, his muscles tighten, his hand go up into the air, and he saw how his hand met the flesh of Lady Une. It was a cold, hard slap and he felt it upon his skin also. He waited, looking down at the floor. Silence reigned. The only sound heard is Une's heavy breathing. She has stopped crying, trembling, and has seemed to regain her own self.

"Treize…" she said weakly. "He is going to kill you… He's going to… I don't know when… But I know he will…. I know… I know… He's… Kill…" She was speaking in mere rambles; her face showing the terror of what she has realized, yet stopped as she saw pity in Treize's eyes. One of the things she hates most is others pitying her. It hurts her self-respect and confidence, more so her pride.

She got on her feet and went to her dresser. Picking up her hair brush, started combing her hair. She said silently, "Treize, what do you think of me?"

"Pardon? I don't quite get what you mean, Lady." Treize replied.

She continued to brush, smiling at her own reflection, and not bothering to look at the man behind her. "I said, what, in all matter of understanding, do you think of me?"

He stayed silent, aware of what he has just done. Une grew impatient, "Treize, I understand fully that you are no idiot. Answer me, and I'll tell you what I know." She smiled playfully at her reflection. Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder, pulling her up and thrusting her to the wall. And Treize has her pinned down. "Lady Une, we are no longer children. We are mature, well-educated adults and I will not have you play with me like this!"

Une just looked into his eyes innocently and kissed him.

oooooooooooooooooooo

Down at the party, drop a needle and you'll hear it meet the ground. Even Duo knows better than to crack any more jokes. Milliardo stood at paced around. "Zechs, stop going around and around!" scolded Noin, and being the good husband he sat. And as he did, they saw Une, together with Treize and his sword.

He walked towards the table and pointed the sword at Heero's throat. Relena, seeing this, immediately stood up. "What is the meaning of this, Treize?"

"Queen Relena, I prefer it that you do not get yourself involved." he calmly replied and turned to face Heero. "I am challenging you to a duel."

Heero placidly looked at Treize's steel eyes and, apparently, they understood each other. The young soldier went to Zechs and borrowed his sword. Zechs willingly handed it over, much to the annoyance of Noin who did not want Millie towitness another fight. She glanced around and saw Une. There was something different about her. What happened to her?

The two men positioned themselves, facing each other. Treize took a fencing stature, and so has Heero. Une walked towards them with elegance and grace, which made Noin more baffled. "On guard!" Une shouted. "Fence!"

Heero plunged without hesitation. He gripped the saber and thrust it at Treize's heart. As nimble as a cat, Treize evaded and countered. A few drops of blood sprayed on the floor. Heero Yuy was injured. "Heero, the end of the war must have dulled you." Treize snickered. The attacks continued and Treize was on the top. Heero managed to hurt Treize; however, he was not a match for Treize. A few more sword swishing, blood gushing, and men shouting, the match ended as Treize aimed his saber directly at Heero's throat. Heero closed his eyes, acknowledging his defeat.

"Hm. Your skills haven't gone bad, Treize." Heero said with a smile. He looked at the older man reverently. "Thank you." Heero stood up; and, as he was going back to the others, he glared at Une. "You should stop this… It isn't worth it."

"Well, the fighting's done! Let's pahtey!" Duo said over-enthusiastically.

Dorothy, on the other hand, was not too happy. "Just when it was getting exciting…"

"Hey! Not everyone here is a sadist like you are!" teased Duo. Dorothy jumped at the comment. Dorothy offended is not good. Dorothy mad is worse. Seeing her redden, though, was hilariously funny! Duo started to laugh, followed by Quatre, soon almost everyone was laughing. But it stopped when Une spoke. "It's…" She felt conscious with everyone's eyes on her. "Une, everything's done…" Heero said. Une nodded and proposed a toast to everyone. The atmosphere went back to normal, as if nothing happened. Une was busy instructing the servants how to clean the floor; the other ladies were chatting; whilst the men were drinking and having fun. The clock strucktwleve and Zechs had to go back since Millie might want to rest. One by one the guests left the mansion and the two behind. They walked back upstairs hand in hand to Une's room.

oooooooooooooooooooo
