Milliardo like a brother,and didn't want anything to happen to either Trieze 
or Milliardo. 

"TURN BACK ON!!!!!!" Noin cried. just as she said it,the T.V. did. 

"Milliardo!"Trieze demanded."Say something!!"He shook Milliardo's now frail 
body.He said nothing,just lied there. 

The court had gotten the soldier under control,and he was held in 
contempt.Whether Milliardo survived or not,was going to determine whether the 
soldier was charged further. 

"You need to go home to Noin!"He begged."You shouldn't die like this!You're 
stronger!Think of Noin!"Trieze shook him again,hopelessly. 

      "MILLIARDO!" 

It was late at night.In the hospital,Noin slept with her head in her arms at 
the foot of Lady Une's bed.She dreamt of Milliardo,and she convinced herself 
that he was coming home. 

Her eyes suddenly snapped open. 

"He won't die!"She replied softly under her breath. 

The nightmares had come.It had been three days since they had saw the 
broadcast on television. 

She looked over at Lady Une. 

She looked so peaceful,so young.The expression on her face made her look even 
more beautiful.The moon shone on her face,casting a warm glow on her 
face,making her look angelic. 

Alex looked deep into the glow of the fire. 

He was closer.He could feel it. 

Trieze's look was numb.He had tried over and over to contct Noin of 
Milliadro's death.And today-excatly seven days after Milliardo got shot was 
his funeral.His soldiers were there,they saluted his grave,then had to 
leave.trieze was the only one who was really at his funeral.the sermon didn't 
bother to show up.He was part of the reatiliating Oz,so the funeral didn't 
matter to him. 

They came and took him away to prison. 

Lady Une was able to walk around now,and very frequently,you would catch Lady 
Une and Noin walking around,admiring the sights of the autumn season.They 
would go into stores,and buy things that they thought Milliardo and Trieze 
would like when they came home. 

By the time the day was over,they had bought enough things to full their 
husband's socks at Christmas. 

"Oh,I can't wait until Trieze and Milliardo come home!"Lady Une and Noin said 
at the same time. 

They had bought a house. 

Lady Une got the address where Trieze was,and wrote letters to him every 
week.Noin just assumed Milliardo was there too,and also wrote numerous 
letters as well. 

For four years they waited.They waited for their two best friends and true 
love to come home.And each Christmas went by.And then spring.And then 
fall.And each year,they celebrated Christmas alone.And soon,Milliardo and 
Trieze's Christmas stockings were put away. 

But one day,a knock was heard at the door.Lady Une,exited,answered it. 

She nearly cried out when she saw who was there. 

Golden blond hair,a handsome face.Blue military uniform. 

Before she knew it,he had his protective arms around her,showering her with 
passionite kisses. 

She stopped momentarily to ask him:"Where's Milliardo?"Trieze answered her 
slowly."Well,You know when he was shot." 

"Yes,it was on television." 

"Well....He didn't make it."Trieze finished numbly. 

Lady Une burst into tears. 

Trieze looked at her,then comforted her by wrapping his arms around her. 

"I'm not crying for Milliardo."She replied,sobbing."I'm crying for Noin.For 
the future,for you..."She trailed off. 

"Lets take a walk."Trieze sugested."To the park." 

"Uh,huh."Lady Une shook her head. 

Trieze walked along the dusty road.So long.Oh so long since he had last saw 
the wonders of the Earth. 

Lady Une was walking beside of him,holding his hand tenderly as they 
continuosly walked around the park. She looked at the sky,and the trees,and 
all of the sights of the beautiful Earth.She sighed. 

"Whats wrong?" 

Trieze asked. 

"I mean the war has come to an end,and were finally  together." 

"Oh,Trieze,you don't get it."Lady Une replied,looking at the ground. 

"You see,Mariemaya didn't even get to see the Earth.She knew it as nothing 
more than a big star.She only knew of life in the colonies,and Milliardo,he 
was too young.Three years ago.Lets see,he was twenty.Thats too young.And 
Mariemaya,she was eight." 

That suddenly hit Trieze. 

Whats it like to die?You'll Never wake up,not even if you squirt water on 
them?And 'Lady Une loves you just as Noin loves me,but one of us has too go 
home unharmed....' 

These last thoughts of two of the five people closest to him remained. 

"Lady Une."Trieze said in a hard voice."I'm going to tell you each detail of 
what happened to me during the six years i've been gone." 

"Alright."Lady Une replied,looking at him as a sign she was listening. 

He told of how he encountered many people at the prison that were waiting to 
die.Some he said even commited suicide when he was there.Most had used the 
solid wall,and just cracked their heads against it painfully until death. 

Suddenly Trieze stopped,and turned Lady Une so she faced him. 

He quickly wrapped his arms around her. 

This never caught Lady Une by surprise, she had him all figured out. From the 
moment she'd met him, to this very day. 

"Please,Lady,never leave me.In prison,I wanted to see only you..."He trailed 
off. 

"Oh,Trieze you know I'd never...." 

The last words were lost with a passionate kiss. 

Noin walked into the house,calling:"Lady Une!Hey,where are you?!" 

She turned to see a note on the coffee table. 

It said:Noin, 
Went to the park. 
Be back soon. 
Lady Une 
P.S I have news to tell you when 
I get home. 

When they resumed their walking position to walk around the park once 
more,Lady Une noticed wetness in Trieze's eyes. 

She finally realized that,he,too,had been affected by Mariemaya's death,and 
by the war. 

Oh,Trieze!She Thought.You try to stay so clear-cut about it all,and yet,you 
are the most worried.You have always been very close to our son and 
Milliardo. 

She reached up to stroke the tear off of his face. 

And they both were killed. 

When she went to put her hand down,he reached for it.Then he escorted her to 
a bench where they sat down.He counted each of her fingertips,then kissed 
them. 

"I love you so much."Was all he could say. 

She suddenly looked at her hand. 

"The ring!" 

"Huh?" 

"The ring!" 

She exclaimed once more,starting to sob. 

He looked at her hand,and noticed the ring with two hearts overlapping,and 
thier names in each heart,was missing. 

He gently wiped her tears away,took her hand gently,and replied:"My dear 
lady,it does not matter whether the ring is there or not.Our love will always 
remain..." 

Lady Une and Trieze both walked in the door.Noin rushed to meet her.She was 
surprised to see Trieze standing there,and she asked him where Milliardo was 
right away. 

Trieze told her the whole story about the speech,the capturing,and the court 
hearing. 

She covered her mouth with her hand,and turned around so no one could see her 
tears. 

Lady Une put her hand on Noin's shoulder."I'm sorry." Was all she could say. 

Noin turned around,the skin around her eyes red from tears."I will go back to 
the colonies,where Milliardo's grave is,and pay my respects. you should have 
told me sooner, oh, God." So she did as she told them she would.The next 
shuttle she took to the colonies.And she resumed living in the house that she 
and Milliardo owned before the war.Some local neighbors helped her patch up 
what the soldiers had damaged. 

Lady Une looked at the starry night. 

Trieze came up behind her,and wrapped his strong arms around her."I know what 
you're thinking." Trieze stated."I miss Noin to." "But,you don't get it."Lady 
Une said."I feel more close to her than ever.I feel a bond between us." 
"She's up there,in the stars." Trieze replied."Don't worry..." 

"Milliardo!!"Lucrezia Noin woke suddenly calling his name,and screaming.Her 
screams turned into pouts as she pitifully cried out."Why did you leave me?" 

She just sat there in her bed,crying. 

"I wish someone was here with me."She replied to herself.For the first time 
in months,she realized just how lonely she was becoming.I can't keep going on 
like this.She thought to herself. 
          
She climbed out of bed,got dressed,then started walking. 

She walked around the colony's cemetary,and once again started sobbing when 
she came to Milliardo's grave. 

She suddenly heard a sound from behind her.She turned around to see a figure 
holding something.She gasped as the figure came closer,within close distance 
             
"Ha ha,found ya' again,Noin!" The figure said. 

Lucrezia Noin reconized the voice at once. 

"Alex!" 

"Ha!Ha!You guessed it!" 

Suddenly haunting memories came back to her. 

"You....How did you escape from prison?" 

"I make it my buisness."Alex replied,then chuckled. 

She did her best to try to run,but her legs felt like stone. 

He grabbed her uncomfortable by the arm. 

"I still love you,ya' know!"He said as he kissed her cheek.This isn't right. 
If she loves me no more, I shouldn't pain her. 

She cringed at his touch. 

He finally showed what he was carrying--The same butcher knife that he had 
used on the shuttle. 

"I..I can't believe you!"he said,elbowing him,so his grasp on her arm was 
losse enough for her to break free. 

"You dare defy me?!"Alex demanded. 
          
                 "Let me tell you of a girl."Noin replied,no longer afraid 
of him."Her husband beat on her,and threatend to kill her.This girl lived in 
the darkness,afraid to come out.And all the while,her husband still hit,and 
caused her pain.The girl could have called the police,but was afraid the 
threats that her husband said to her each day would come true if she did such 
a thing.So,instead,she ran away from that pitiful life.She joined the 
army,where her trainer treated her inferior because of her sex.He treated her 
awful,so much so,she would want quit the army.But she didn't,she kept moving 
with the thought things would someday be better.After three months of 
hardships,she was finally submitted to the army.She trained,and trained.Soon 
she became a trainer herself. 
        Then she met a man,Leutinant Zechs.He cared about her,and treated 
her much more than a comrade.Soon their relationship became deeper.They got 
married.A war broke out,the Oz members retailiated against one another.He was 
forced to war,and that girl,forced to stay home.She and her friend,and her 
friends daughter were forced to face many hardships,the friend's daughter did 
not survive.She died protecting her and her friend.That girl somehow made it 
out of the mess.Taking a shuttle to try to escape the war,the two girls met 
up with this brutal being.He tried his best to kill his former wife,but her 
friend jumped in.Thank god for where the shuttle was,because it landed while 
these events were happening.So the girl made her escape once more.Shutting 
and locking the baggage door,she trapped the man.He was accused of murder,for 
the police found the bloody knife and pool of blood from the girls friend.She 
carried her friend all the way to the nearest hospital.then,three years 
later,the girl,and her friend met up with her friends' true love.When she 
knew everything was going to be all right, she took the nearest shuttle to 
the colonies. One night she woke up screaming,and decided to go to her true 
love's grave.There,she met haunting memories once again.And the girl knows 
she will die in the cemetary." 

"Why you!"He replied. "Your right.He said 

"Since you have ran away,half of my life,I've tried to find you, and 
now,finally,I've tracked you down. For what? To kill you. Everything I said 
back then was true.I told you I'd kill you someday.You tried to run away from 
that fact,but what good did it do?" 

He looked at the knife,then at her. Is this right? 
         
He gave her a nasty look,then thrusted the knife into her chest.A moan of 
agony came from her.It hurts so much.She thought,grasping her hand tightly 
over the knife handle.He looked with shame at what he just did, then 
ran."No..Please."She begged."Please,don't..don't leave me."Alex just turned 
around,and gave her another look,than ran.She started to cry.I wrong two 
years ago.He had more pain to give me,but I won't give up!She suddenly 
grasped her hand over the handle of the knife.           
         
She pulled the knife out with a scream,causing more blood to flow gushingly 
out of the wound.She grasped her hand tightly over the wound,trying to keep 
in some blood.I don't want to die.She suddenly realized she was getting 
tired,and her legs were so wobbily,that she couldn't hold herself up. 

She dropped to her knees,and slowly rested her back upon the side of 
Milliardo's grave. 
                     
I can't move and the pain is so intense...... 
                  
Suddenly Noin thought of all that she knew.Milliardo,his love he had to give. 
Mariemaya,who gave her life up for her without a second thought.Trieze,his 
charming way of leading her across the dance floor.Lady Une,who had been 
through so much,yet was capable of being so gentle.Duo Maxwell,his humerous 
ways.Heero Yuy,the perfect soldier,the man who had rescued so many from the 
flames of the 'New Oz',including herself.Hilde Schbecker,the nicest,sweetest 
young girl.Relena Peacecraft,a young sweet girl,who was very brave,and who 
got herself out of so many dangers-the girl who tried to bring total pacifism 
to the world,and the girl that suceeded in her dream.So many others---great 
soldiers taken by the flame of war,now resting under the sod.Brave enough to 
go through battle.Giving enough to sacrifice their lives for the cause that 
they believed in.She started to cry,the pain,oh the pain was too intense to 
bear. 
                       
She knew why he was so brutal. His father had abused him. His talants were 
misused,and he was put throught much physical and mental pain, that it was a 
wonder he survived his childhood. But, she knew someday he would become a 
great writer. She didn't know how he would come to be one, the state he was 
in,but she knew he could do it. 
She just laid against the hard rock-like cemetary stone that belonged to her 
love.She died there,a small smile on her face from thinking about her 
friends,and all pureness in her heart. Her last words were something like: 
"My friends, forgive Alex. His heart is too pure..." 
  
"Miss Relena,look!Whats that?" 

A small boy stood on a hill across from the graveyard.He pointed at the small 
lump in the scenery.His guardian was walking up the hill."I don't know 
dear."She said,out of breath from the walk up the hill."Why don't you go 
look?" "Ok!!"The boy rolled down the hill saying somthing like:"I wanna be 
like Daddy when I grow up!" 

The Guardian's best friend walked up behind her. 

"Oh,Heero!I didn't see ya'!" 

"Yeah,Relena."The Gundam pilot replied. "Well,I decided to come along after 
all." 

He suddenly wondered away from his talk when he saw that the child was 
nowhere in sight. 

"Where's Gami?" 

He asked,looking around. 

"He saw somthing over at the cemetary,and went to look at it." Replied 
Relena. 

"Probably just a rabbit,or somthing." 

"Don't let him wander off."Heero replied. 

"We need to take him back to Hilde and Duo."She added. 

She suddenly heard Gami scream,and yell 

"Miss Relena!!!!" 

Relena,worried,ran after Gami. 

"Heero,C'mon,he could be hurt!"  He quickly followed.Relena was the first 
one up the hill beside of Gami. 
She started crying when she saw the slaughtered Noin before her. 
       
 "Noin-Oh,God!"She cried. 

"Did you know her,Miss Relena?"Asked Gami. 

"Yes,dear,I did." 

By this time,Heero was at the grave. 

"Noin..."Was all he could spit out 

He walked over to the bawling Relena.He wrapped his arms around her in a 
comforting way. 
            
"How could this happen?"Relena asked,her voice muffled from her head buried 
inside Heero's warm, wool jacket. 

"I mean,who would want to end such a nice woman?"She asked once more 

"I don't know."Heero replied,in a flat tone. 

He looked at Noin again,and saw something buried slightly deep in the mud . 

He released Relena,for the moment,and bent down to pick up this item. 

He had found the butcher knife.He brushed some sod off of the handle to find 
initials carved on the end of it. 

"It says A.N."Heero replied to Relena. 

"We have to go to the police about this anyway,so lets notify Lady Une and 
Trieze."Relena said to Heero. 

Heero grunted. 

"Heero,nows not the time to be thinking of killing Trieze. Now look,we need 
their help."Relena said."There on Earth right now,so lets call the colonies 
police." 

Relena took one more look at Noin,before Heero and herself  went to the 
police. 

They called the police,and they decided to take the case,despite the amount 
of times Heero had gotten himself into little tie-ups with the police. 

So they left for Earth after they had taken many pictures of Noin's body for 
the police. 

Noin,may you rest in peace.Relena thought,as she looked at the familiar 
shuttle from which she had gone to and from Earth and the colonies so many 
times. 

"C'mon."Heero said,pushing her gently along the way."You want to get to 
Earth,don't you?" 

She tried to laugh,but she was still thinking of the scene at the graveyard. 

A shadow of a man with a black cape,and black clothes was standing near a 
tree next to Milliardo's grave. One who won a heart as pure as Lucrezia's 
must have a heart of pure gold. My hands are stained with blood,and my life 
has no meaning. 
Flashbacks of the time before he was married. He remembered a newspaper 
clipping. ''Terroist kills Atoh Noin" He remembered reading through the 
article and coming to the spot when the two walkers had found his door 
open,and his body had been found in a pool of blood,knife marks on various 
parts of his body. His father had been gaining much power. His father. He 
remembered. Eyes cold as ice. His eyes were the scariest part about him. It 
was ashamed because he ended up getting the same eyes as his father. There 
was his smile. Alex remembered Atoh's smile more than anything.'A True 
Southern Gentlemen.' he called his father. 'With enough might and power to 
kill a boar with his bare hands,and the manners of a gentleman.' He chuckled 
as he remembered his early childhood,when his mother was still alive.After 
his mother died,his father became very brutal. So brutal to the point Alex 
had to kill him... 

Once on the shuttle,Heero sat down on the window seat of the two seats that 
they chose,he then opened a book,and started reading.Relena looked at him in 
surprise,it was a rariety to see Heero reading. 

She got used to the shock,then opened a book of her own.It had just happened 
to be the bible that her father was reading on the shuttle when he had first 
met Lady Une. 

Heero looked up from his book hours after he had started reading, and 
realized, he was becoming bored.It was clear that Relena was worn out from 
this occurence as well,for she was asleep.He continued his reading, even 
though he was losing interest. 

In her sleep,Relena brought her her head to Heero's shoulder. 

He looked up from his book again,and smiled slightly.He looked at her 
closely.She looked so young.Not going on sixteen,but older.He wondered if 
thats what he looked like when he was asleep.Innocent. Yeah,I'm only 
innocent-looking until I wake up! He thought,then smirked. 

He closed the book finally.Heero planted a kiss on Relena's right cheek,she 
quivered slightly at his touch. 
Before going to sleep, he covered her up,and snuggled close to her. 

The next day,she and Heero landed on Earth. 

"Now."Relena said."To find Trieze and Miss Une." 

"Mission accepted!"Heero replied.Relena playfully hit him in the ribs. He 
pretended to be hurt, and she laughed at his dramaticness. One woman even 
came up to him and asked him if he was alright, which made him quit his act 
and Relena burst out laughing. 

"Now,the colonies' police officer said the they lived some where around 
'Aroub Lane'. 

Heero pointed towards Aroub Lane. 

"Okaaay.."Relena replied, sarcastically. He's good. She laughed a little in 
her head 

They knocked on every door on and around the road.... 

Lady Une was washing dishes,and preparing food when a she heard a knock at 
the door. 

She rushed to it,hoping it was her planned guests. 

She got a surprise when she saw Heero and Relena at the door. 

Relena rushed in and hugged Lady Une,crying. 

"Oh,Miss Une!Its awful!"She cried."Noin's Dead!She's gone! She's dead!!! See, 
She died, and,and I'm so sad and frightened about the pain Lucrezia 
indured!!!" 

"What is?Relena,honey,you're making absoulutely no sense at all!" 

"Oh,Lady Une,Noins dead!Someone with the intials A.N killed her!We found her 
in the graveyard,back up against Milly's grave,and a knife beside of her!Its 
awful!!"Relena began to cry in Lady Une's arms. 

Lady Une felt her stomach sink when she heard 'death'. Not Alex again! She 
screamed in her head. 

Heero just stood in the doorway. 

And after Relena had told Lady Une about Noin,he asked her: "Wheres Trieze?" 

Lady Une pointed up the stairs,and Heero went up quickly. 

As for Relena,she just said."Come in,I'll fix some tea." 

Relena could tell Lady Une was doing her best not to cry. 

"Could you please help us find Alex?"Relena asked,after Lady Une had told her 
the story of Noin's ex-husband. 

"Sure." 

So they began their search with the police. 

The police actually didn't get  involved. 

"Bastards."Was all Heero could say to the police after they turned him down 
for about the twentieth time. 

He stormed out of the police office before they could say anything about his 
last remark. 

"Any luck?"Relena asked,as Heero exited the police office. 

"No,Those airheads don't give a damn about anything exept their 
paychecks."Heero replied coldly. 

"Lets just continue our search."Lady Une said to Heero, exilherated. 

"Mission Accepted!"Heero replied. 

"Whatever,lets just go!"Lady Une replied sharply. 

"Um.Sure."Heero replied.,meekly. 

They started to walk. 

"Lets see."Relena replied. "Where would I be if I was a criminal,who just 
killed his wife and escaped from prison,hmmm....." 

"Lets just look in the shuttle station." 

"Sure." 

"O.K" 

"Fine." 

"NO!" 

Everybody looked at Relena. 

"What did you say?"Heero asked. 

"I said No!"Relena replied."I didn't get to try my idea!NO!NO!" 

"Just come on!"Heero replied,then grabbed the girl's arm. 

"LET ME GO!!!"Relena threw a temper-tantrum, and many people looked at her. 

After they searched throughout the shuttle,and they found no Alex,Relena 
couldn't help but to say:"I hate to say I told you so,uh,not really!"She 
teased Heero over and over again until he yelled at her to shut her pot hole. 
  

After many times of searching,they gave up. 

"What are we going to do?" Asked Trieze that night,as they sipped at beverages 

Relena sipped at Kool-aid, and Heero and Trieze sipped at black coffee.Lady 
Une drank tea. 

"Well, we could look in the train station." Relena suggested. 

"Nah, he wouldn't be there." Heero argued. 

"How would YOU know?" Relena demanded, angrily. 

"I know these things!" Heero literally yelled. 

Relena stuck out her tougne, and Heero grabbed it. 

"Hey, let go!!!" Relena wailed, and Trieze stepped in. 

"Heero, release Relena's tougne, Relena, stop mouthing off to Heero, and I'll 
sit between the two of you!" 

The next day, they saerched more, and didn't find anyone,so Relena asked: 

"What about the train station?" 

Heero finally gave up. "Fine, Relena,we'll go look in the trains!" 

When they arrived at the yard,they looked in every train car,but found 
nothing. 

"Hah! So you were wrong,too!" Heero taunted. 

Lady Une cocked and eyebrow. This was very unexpected coming from Heero. 

"There's one more car!" Relena said. "Lets all look in it." 

They peeked inside of  the train car to find Alex sitting and eating a 
cracker. 

Relena made a small noise in her throat,which caused Alex to look over his 
shoulder. 

He turned,and smirked at them. 

"Well,well,what do we have here?" 

"Heero,I'm scared." Relena winced. 

He stood up,and brushed the cracker crumbs off of his black trenchcoat."A 
bunch of no-good fools,who are going to try to avenge their friend.But I can 
tell you,YOU'LL FAIL!" 

He darted for the nearest person which happened to be Lady Une. 

"Ha!Ha!FOOL!"He punched her as hard as he could. 

She slid feet,almost towards where he was just sitting. 

"No!Lady Une!"Relena cried,when Lady Une did not move. 

Heero was naturally calm,but Trieze showed worry for Lady Une 

"So."Heero said, as he looked at Trieze"This is Alex. Pretty ruthless 
bastard,although I have no room to talk." 

"Tell me about it, I've never met the jerk." Trieze replied. 

He took a look at the man standing across from him. Alex's black trenchcoat 
blew around him from the wind,as well did his long brown hair 

Heero just looked at him. 

"Alow me to introduce myself,I am Alex Noin." He replied to Heero. "And I 
have to say this has been quite an amusing game." He finished,then smirked. 

"I don't see anything amusing about it!"Trieze yelled at him. 

Alex just ignored Trieze,and turned to Lady Une,who had just regained 
consiousness from his punch 

"I will kill you for blocking my knife the day I wanted to kill Noin on that 
shuttle!" 

Lady Une covered her eyes as she expected death,but a blur rushed in front of 
her. 

A slight yell made her open her eyes. 

She was horrified at what she saw. 

Trieze had blocked the knife. 

"No!"Lady Une cried out."Trieze!Oh,God,NO!" 

She swooped down to help him. 

"Lady...." He managed to say, but very painfully. 

"No Trieze,don't talk.You've got to stay still." Lady Une hushed him. 

"Oh,Lady,Your no fun."Trieze said, then tried unsuccessfully to move. 

"Why did you do that?!"Lady Une demanded,tears welling in her eyes."I would 
have been glad to die if it meant your surviving!" 

"No." 

"What do you mean?"She asked as gently as she could.She was sure he didn't 
have much time left. 

"I couldn't do that." 

"Why not?" 

"Because. "He replied gingerly. "I love you. The day we married, I swore to 
you, I'd protect you at all costs.But the better answer is I love you." 

Lady Une held him as she watched his life fade away. 

"No! Don't go! No! Please! Don't Leave ME!!!I beg of you! Please......."She 
trailed off. 

She sat there sobbing with Trieze's blood pulling out from under him, all 
over her clothes She just cried. 

Alex had taken another life. 

No! Not him too!She begged to herself. Not Trieze! No! 

Through all of the commotion, she didn't notice Alex approaching her from 
behind,knife in hand 

Lady Une turned around too see Alex grinning evilly 

"Your life has ended."He said as he held the knife in the air. She closed her 
eyes tight. For she feared this was the end. 

Suddenly,she was surrounded by  a soft green light. 

A figure appeared that she reconized instantly. "Noin!" She cried out. 

"Its good to see you again, Lady Une." The ghostly figure of Noin replied. 

"Noin, you are...." 

"Don't worry about me, I'll show you what Alex would do if he killed you." 

A strange ball of light appeared. It showed flashes of the future. Lady Une 
was there.What had just happened was quickly shown. And then her own death. 
Stabbed severely with that knife. "You musen't let that happen!" Noin cried. 
"You must be the one to give Alex the justice he needs!!" The green light 
ended. 

Alex laughed. "The woman's gone crazy!" He said. 

She shot him a dirty look. 

Alex laughed again,as if he was enjoying this. 

"Why are you LAUGHING!" Lady Une asked,her voice the tone in which she had 
givin orders to her soldiers when she was in the army. "This isn't a laughing 
matter!" She stood up."I will not let you get away with this!" 

"Oh yeah,what is it you'll do,hmmm?" He smirked. 

"Go, Relena,this could get bloody." Heero replied in the girls' ear. 

"No, I want to stay!" Relena protested. 

"Fine. Stay, but don't say I didn't warn you!" 

Lady Une charged at Alex. 

He saw this as a fun part of  his 'game' and just knocked her across the room 
once again.He walked over to Lady Une,who was too stunned to move."FOOL!" He 
yelled again,then kicked her side. 

He then started to beat her up. 

"I don't think so!" Heero managed to get behind Alex,and grabbed his arms. 

"Let me go,you idiot!"Alex replied to Heero,looking back slightly as he said 
this. 

"Go To Hell!"Heero replied,as cold as he could."You've killed too many,you're 
hands are stained with blood." 

"And what about you, Heero YUY?!" 

Alex struggled to break free, and he finally managed. 

"RELENA!!!!!" Heero cried. "GO! NOW!!!" 

Relena hesitated,then ran for help. 

Thanks Relena. Heero thought. His thought was shattered when he recieved a 
punch from Alex. Alex was very astonished when Heero just stood there. 

"So you want more challenging,EH?!" He screamed as he pulled out his knife. 
Heero dodged it easily as Alex tried harder and harder to kill him. He 
finally struck Heero. He cinged him across the stomach. 

"Halt!" 

Alex looked up. 

It was the police officer he had encountered. He had Relena behind him. 

He ordered Relena"Help Lady Une!" 

"What about Alex?!" She demanded. 

"Do as I say! I'll take care of him!" Heero yelled. 

"Right!" She rushed over to Lady Une,all brusied and beaten. 

Heero quickly ran after the fleeing Alex. 

How far can he get? 

Alex ran. For the first time in his life, he felt fear. He felt a strong 
emotion to which was no escape. He had felt it every day long ago,and then 
memories flowed like a river through his head. 

"EhhAhh!" He cried. He held his head as he ran.I was confused! I...I... 

He halted to a stop. Before him was a huge cliff. 

"How far can you go before your fears catch up to you?" Heero stepped out of 
the shadows, talking calmly. 

"What do you mean?!" Alex demanded, slight shakiness in his voice. 

"There is no place to run." Heero narrowed his eyes, and looked at the now 
trembling Alex. 

The wind blew, and Alex looked at his dark trenchcoat, wavering in the wind. 

"You killed an innocent woman. You did it because of fear..." 

Alexs' eyes widened, and he looked as if he would cry. 

"You were afraid! You killed someone to ease your own sorrows!" 

"My father..." He started more as a thought. His voice was no longer cold. 
"My father was devestated after my mother died. She died of a new disease. We 
lived happily, all of us. Until one day. I was so young. My father. He was in 
love with mother so much..."He trailed off. "That when she died, he tried to 
kill me. I reminded him too much of her.I killed him. I killed Atoh Noin.I 
understand what I did was somewhat evil, and I didn't want it to go that far, 
but, Lucrezia, I was so in love with her. That when she married again, my 
heart cracked. I promised myself,she would pay, and I would teach her. And it 
got out of hand. After I had used the knife, I dropped it and ran. Later on,I 
went to the graveyard and picked it up. I had no idea what I was running 
from, fear, I guess, but I was so scared.I was so glad to finally get this 
out,and now, I ask you to kill me." 

Heero shook his head. "I shall." He replied,and pulled out a gun from his 
back pocket. 

"Thanks, Heero..." Alex replied. 

He took off his trenchcoat and threw it down the cliff,he watched it as it 
hit the pond below.. 

Alex closed his eyes,as Heero held the gun targeting Alex in the head. 

The last thing Alex heard was a gun fire... 

The End
