Told in Amber\'s POV...
I have been alone for most of my life up until the day I met Haruka, my parents were killed right in front of me as soldiers poured acid over their bodies to destroy the evidence, from that day forward I swore to make the Peacecraft family pay for the death of my parents.
Many Years passed, and my will to seek revenge grew stronger as traveled seeking training to become a skilled assassin and a thief.
Haruka was what made my talent as a thief reach a new level, we became a team understanding one another knowing what our roles in pulling off a job were, but at times Haruka could be crazy and almost set off the alarms she was the gymnast of the team always doing the stuff I couldn\'t do.
Her erratic behavior was what made our team more interesting to be apart of.
I considered her my best friend, I could always count on her.
The day I met Haruka my life changed, she and I had the same goals in life so we trained until the day we started college at the Peacecraft Academy.

Haruka\'s POV

I honestly don\'t remember much of my past.
From what I know I\'m an orphan.
Not that that bothers me, I can take care of myself.
What I do remember, is the Peacecraft Family\'s Military making it a living hell for us who lived on the streets, so I had to steal to eat and try and get shelters.
Then I met the person that would change a lot and for the better, my best friend Amber.
What we had and still do have in common is what made us strong together, our hate for Peacecraft.
She always said I was crazy, cause I like pulling acrobatic things whenever I could.
Our code names basically say it all, I\'m Fire, the wild and unpredictable one.
She\'s Ice, the cool, calm collected one.
I\'d say she\'s the brains of our team.
You can always count on her.
She has saved my life countless times as I her.

“I think I\'m going to fall asleep...Professor Noin is sooo boring....”
\" She isn\'t much of a teacher if you ask me,\" whispered Amber.
\"I agree...I think I\'m going to take a nap,\" Haruka told her, as she folded her arms on her desk and rested her head on them.
\" You can borrow my notes and go over them tonight,\" Amber said as she listened to the lecture.
Haruka opened one eye, \"Thanks, poke me if I snore,\" She told her
\" I will,\" Amber said.
\" Weak woman,\" muttered Wufei.
\" What did you say,\" Amber asked turning around looking Wufei square in the eye.
\" You heard me woman,\" Wufei said.
*Wufei\'s going to get it now,* Haruka thought, not bothering to look up.
Amber raised her hand and smacked Wufei across the face, \"if anyone is a weak woman around this place its the one you\'re protecting,\" Amber said.
\"Wufei do you always have to provoke her?\" Trowa asked calmly, writing in his notebook.
\" I did nothing of the sort Barton, I was only pointing out a fact,\" Wufei said.
\"Which was?\" Trowa challenged, still not looking at him.
\" She\'s a weak woman, and so is that other woman,\" Wufei said.
\" If we weren\'t in class I\'d wipe that smug look right off your face,\" growled Amber.
Suddenly something was thrown and landing only centimeters from Wufei\'s crotch.
He looked down at the small knives, which was very sharp, then looked up at where it came from.
Haruka was sitting on her desk, smirking, \"you know you should really watch your mouth Chinese boy, you don\'t know whom or what you might challenge,\" She said.
\" I can\'t believe you did that, and the look on his face, you\'re crazy Haruka,\" Amber said.
\"Yeah but that\'s why you love me! Hey look at who\'s standing over there,\" Haruka teased.
\" Shut up Haruka, you\'re out of your mind if you think I have a crush on any man in this school,\" Amber said.
Haruka giggled, not wanting to pressure her more.
\" We don\'t have time to be chasing after men, we have a job to do remember,\" Amber said.
\"Yeah, speaking of which, what house are we hitting tonight?\" Haruka asked excited.
\" Our mission is to crack into a safe and steal priceless items at the Peacecraft Palace,\" Amber said.
\"Ok\"
\" We leave at midnight,\" Amber said.
\" Got it,\" Haruka said.
\" Good, lets go grab a bite to eat,\" Amber said.
\"Sounds good to me,\" Haruka said, following Amber down to the cafeteria
\" Are there any rumors floating around that I should know about,\" Amber asked taking her seat.
\"What do you mean?\" Haruka asked, opening her milk.
\" We need to know every move Relena Peacecraft makes, such as who her little circle of friends are,\" Amber said.
\"Well, there\'s Dorothy, Hilde, Wufei, Duo, Trowa and Sally,\" Haruka told her.
\" I see, do they live with her,\" Amber asked.
“ Wufei and Trowa do, Quatre lives at his own estate along with Duo Maxwell, I heard that the head of Princess Relena’s bodyguard is coming to this college very soon,” Haruka said.
\" I see, do you think we can get past them,\" Amber asked.
Haruka smirked. \"Easily\"
\" Good, from the rumors I\'ve heard she keeps the jewels locked in a safe in the library, its in the north wing of the of the palace,” Amber said sipping her tea.
\" Let\'s go sit outside at our usual place,\" Amber said grabbing her book bag.
Haruka followed.
\" I will take such pleasure in stealing from that bitch, if I could get close enough to her I\'d kill her but I think stealing her valuables will hurt her more,\" Amber said evilly.
Haruka laughed.” And you say I\'m the crazy one\" She said, leaning against the tree.
\" I have my reasons for hating her, tell me is she seeing anyone,\" Amber asked.
\"I don\'t know,\" Haruka answered.
\" I see, I honestly don\'t know why anyone would go for someone like her,\" Amber said.
Haruka smiled. \" I totally agree.\"
\" Let\'s go home, we need to study,\" Amber said.
Haruka followed her.
Amber and Haruka were walking to their apartment when they bumped into someone scattering their papers and books everywhere.
“ I’m so sorry, please allow me to help pick up your things,” Quatre said with a smile.
“....” Trowa said helping Quatre.
\" Well, if it isn\'t you weak women,\" Wufei said standing proudly with her arms crossed.
\"You asshole,\" Haruka told him.
\" Who in the hell do you think you are, a proper gentleman would help us pick up our things, but you Mr. Chang are no gentleman the word barbarian suits you quite well,\" Amber said.
\" She sure put you in your place,\" cackled Duo in fits of laughter.
\"I should gut him already,\" Haruka whispered in Amber\'s ear.
\" I\'d castrate the asshole,\" whispered Amber.
“ Wufei, please mind your manners, please forgive my friend’s behavior, you’re Amber right,” Quatre asked.
\" Yes, Amber Naseera,\" Amber said extending her hand.
Quatre took her hand and kissed it lightly.
\"Nice to meet you,\" Quatre said.
\" The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Winner,\" Amber said.
\" You two are very hot babes, would you like to accompany me on a date,\" Duo asked.
\" How about I cut your braid off and wear it as a belt,\" growled Amber.
\" Easy there babe, no need to get worked up,\" Duo said.
\"Dude you couldn\'t handle a blowup doll,\" Haruka told him
\" Ouch,\" Trowa said.
\"We got to go now,\" Haruka said, grabbing the rest of her things and walking away
\" Thank you for helping us Mr. Winner, but Haruka and I need to be going, we have to study for a test,\" Amber said.
\"Amber! come on!\" Haruka yelled from across the street.
“ I’m coming Haruka, thank you for helping us Mr. Winner,” said Amber waving goodbye
\" Those two girls must be dykes,\" Duo said as he watched them walk away.
\"When it comes to you , yes,\" Trowa teased him.
Quatre was in awe, “ Amber Naseera sure is beautiful,” whispered Quatre.
“ Snap out of it Winner,” snarled Wufei.
\" I couldn\'t help myself, did you see the bodies on those two,\" Duo asked.
\" Yes,\" Trowa said.
\"You know who Haruka reminds me of?\" Duo said.
\" She reminds you of Heero,\" Quatre said.
\"Yeah, I mean the same hair cut only Haruka has fire red hair and is a girl,\" Duo said.
\" She is a very spirited woman,\" Trowa said.
\"And a bitch to me, I\'m still waiting for her to call me baka\' like Heero does,\" Duo told them.
\" You might just get your wish,\" giggled Quatre.
Duo glared at him. \"Lets get out of here too.\"
\" If you ask me that other woman is the one I\'d worry about,\" Wufei said.
All of them started to laugh at Wufei’s comment.
\"You chicken shit,\" Duo laughed.
\" Did I say that I was afraid of her,\" Wufei said.
\"No but you can tell Wu-man, you can tell,\" Duo said, putting his arm around Wufei\'s shoulders.
\" Maxwell,\" screamed Wufei reaching for his Jian.
Duo ran away laughing.
\" Get back here and fight like a man,\" screamed Wufei chasing after him.
----------
\"Miss Relena, will Heero be joining us for dinner?\" Dorothy asked.
\"Yes, my Heero is finally coming home,\" Relena said in awe.
\"Excellent, is there anything you need me to do Miss Relena?\" Dorothy asked, rising from her seat.
\" Have the room connecting to mine prepared right away,\" Relena said.
\"Yes Miss Relena,\" Dorothy excused herself, and went to prepare the room for Heero Yuy.
\" You will be mine Heero,\" Relena said in a determined voice.
\" Heero is mine, he loves me and only me, if I had his baby he\'d love me more,\" Relena said.
Relena sat down in her chair and thought in awe of what her and Heero\'s baby would look like when Duo, Wufei, Quatre and Trowa walked by.
\" I tell you Q that chick is crazy,\" Duo said.
\"Which one??\" Quatre asked innocently playing with him.
\" Relena, sometimes I think she\'s more crazy than Heero,\" Duo said.
Trowa laughed silently to himself.
\"I wonder when he will be arriving,\" Trowa suddenly asked.
\" Relena is spoiled, her father gave her too much power and she\'s used to getting what she wants,\" Wufei said.
\"You know, you shouldn\'t talk about your friend’s girlfriend like that,\" A deep familiar voice sounded.
\"Heero! buddy what\'s up?\" Duo said walking up to Heero Yuy, who stood in the doorway with a single suitcase.
\" Yuy,\" Wufei said.
\".....\" Trowa said.
\" Its so good to see you again,\" Quatre said.
\"Hn,\" Heero smirked.
\"Mister Yuy, welcome, I just finished preparing your room,\" Dorothy interrupted.
\" Heero, you\'re finally here I missed you so much, I was so worried when you didn\'t send word,\" Relena said flying into Heero\'s arms as she started to cry.
Duo made a face, which all resisted to laugh at.
\" Shall we sit down to dinner now,\" Quatre asked.
\"I really hope he\'s not about to gross us out,\" Duo whispered to Trowa, then turned back to the kissing couple.
\"Too late.\"
\"You speak of food after this?!\" Duo said.
\" I was merely trying to avoid this,\" Quatre said.
\"Nice try,\" Wufei told him.
Quatre sighed.

-------
\" Fire, are you ready to go,\" asked Ice zipping up her black vinyl form fitting cat suit.
“ Yes,” Fire said.
\" Good, lets go,\" said Ice.
“ Its fun time,” Haruka said smirking.
\" I should\'ve just left you at home,\" grumbled Ice.
\"You\'d never,\" Fire teased, getting on her motorbike.
\" Well, I need you to try and be less wild these jewels are important,\" said Ice climbing on her motorbike.
\"I know I memorized them already, did you see the security system I\'m going to love this,” Fire said starting her bike.
\" Let\'s ride,\" said Ice.
Ice and Fire parked their bikes a couple of blocks away from the building and took the tunnels to get inside the building.
\"I\'ve been waiting for this,\" Fire said happily smiling up at the building in question.
\" I will go and deactivate the alarm systems, wait until you see my signal to move,\" said Ice.
\"Fine,\" Fire answered, watching Ice run in
Ice took out her tool kit and cut the wires deactivating the system as she sent the signal to Fire telling her to go.
\"Time to fly,\" Fire whispered to her self as she put her acrobatic talents to use.
She jumped high on the fences and jumped into the tunnel leading her to the library.
She quietly ran up the stairs, watching and making sure no one was in site.
Ice knowing her job was done left it up to Fire, as she watched for cops or guards.
\"I\'m in the library,\" She whispered into the com unit to Ice, as she popped the lock open and made her way inside
\" Good, it should be in the safe on the wall behind the painting of Relena and Heero,\" said Ice.
\"Ok,\" Fire said, taking out her small tool kit and put it on the floor, she removed the painting and stated to planted silent explosives.
A tiny sound was made and the safe easily opened.
\"Nice,\" Fire whispered as she grabbed everything in sight.
\" What\'s in the safe,\" asked Ice.
\"Oh girl, we got nice jewels, money and a really rare expensive looking knife,\" Fire told her while studying the knife.
---------
Heero\'s eyes opened quickly.
*What was that?* he thought sitting up, he grabbed his gun. *Someone\'s in the house.*
Heero quickly got up and made his way to both Trowa and Wufei\'s rooms and woke them.
\"I\'ll check downstairs,\" Trowa told them and made his way down to the tunnels.
\"Wufei check the rest of the house, I\'m going upstairs, don\'t wake Relena,\" Heero ordered, Wufei nodded and left.
--------
The blackened sewer smelled of age and rot.
The metallic walls gleamed from the water\'s reflections of light.
The Large brown roots hung from the ceiling and crawled down the condensation dripped walls.
Footsteps approached as a man fell from a small light that emanated from a small opening.
Trowa landed lightly in the dark tunnel.
The elongated corridor that mistresses of old passed through.
The aged tunnel\'s centermost floor space had a pipe like system running through the entire sewer.
Water and some random sewage ushered through the cracked and mostly open pipes.
Drips and rushing water is all that could be heard as Trowa walked along the corridors
thinking on his usual patrol of the palace.
He hated this part of the job but someone had to do it.
The drips and water echoed through the long old escape tunnel when he suddenly heard some sort of voices.
\"Fire, can you hear me?\" whispered Ice.
\"Yeah, I\'m coming,\" Fire told her, the connection was then gone.
\"Hey you!\" Trowa called out, seeing a dark shadow kneeling on the ground.
\"All right, I\'ll see you at the meeting place,\" said Ice as she turned
hearing someone creeping up behind her.

Putting her black mask on Ice turned around and looked Trowa square in the eye.
His hand had rested on her shoulder firmly as if he was going to shove her down to the ground.
They locked eye contact as Trowa was completely caught of guard.
He had never seen this before much less been in this situation.
He gasped as Ice then turned and began running away.
Trowa stalled for a minute to get back to reality.

\"Hey!\" Trowa called again, starting to run after the intruder.
\"We\'ve got trouble, Trowa Barton has discovered me, and I\'m sure the others are searching the house,” said Ice.
\"Fuck!\" was Fire\'s reply.
\"Use the Camo Reticle!\" \"They won\'t be able to see you unless they have a heat sensor!\" said Ice.
\"Got it!\" Fire said over the com unit over her right breast.

Fire pressed the silver circular small button looking device that rested next to the equally orbital but darker Com Link.
A small noise beeped as the device was turned on.
She was now cloaked.
Her body began to fade into nothing as the cloaking device began to light up in a red glow.
The red was suddenly accompanied by an electric blue of bolts that surrounded her fragile yet powerful form.
She quickly vanished into the background of the room to be unseen by all.
The invisible thief giggled to herself as her soft almost soundless footsteps walked deeper into the interior of the mansion.
The chase was on, Trowa was hot on Ice\'s trail as she devised a plan to stop him.
Her breathing was not getting heavy, but she kept her cold eyes on her target.
Her escape route as she heard Trowa getting tired already.
They had hit a few turns in the tunnel and she had almost ran a circle around him.
She was that fast, Trowa could hardly believe he was still in disbelief of what the hell was going on.
He gasped for air as he grabbed a corner of the dank rusted steel walls of the sewer.
He looked on to see the black form running ever faster from him.
He used the wall for momentum and took chase.
He began to gain on her until, nothing.

She was gone.

*What the?...* Trowa thought to himself, almost muttering it aloud, standing still, he couldn\'t see a thing.
\"You have a very sexy body..\" purred Ice rubbing her hands against his lower abdomen as she ran her fingers deeper into a more personal spot.

Trowa blushed deeply realizing she was a female.
He felt the mysterious woman\'s hands roam down his lower body as his pants started to tighten.
His head arched up as his duties were wiped clean from his thought process.
He was quickly filled with more and more lust as the woman’s hand found its way into his pants.
Her black rubbery belt jiggled to the sexual movements and advances of Trowa’s body.
Her black night vision goggles that were strapped to her side rubbed gently on Trowa\'s leg.
He even liked that feeling.
She giggled to herself then moved down and began to caress him with more and more sexual massaging.
The one thing Trowa couldn\'t handle...better than the teasing he was receiving.
Was he couldn\'t see her.
She was invisible.
-----------------
*Man I love this, I can see him, he can\'t see me....well I can\'t really see him...It\'s too fucking dark...But I know he\'s there...* Ice thought to herself.
She let go of him as she lifted up her mask just enough as she gently pulled his head down for a kiss, he opened his mouth to say something but Ice forced her tongue inside his mouth deepening the kiss.
Trowa had never felt this way before, his mind was screaming to throw this mysterious woman on the ground and take her right there.
“ You’re a great kisser, if I wasn’t on the run I’d have my way with you, maybe next time,” Ice said as she fled into the darkness.
In shock he just slid down the wall slowly and hit his head that he had failed as stopping or at least questioning the unknown siren.

Heero\'s small brown eyebrows frowned, as did his mouth.
He held his gun in one hand and looked around.
Left to right. He turned behind him quickly.
Too quickly, his turn almost making a noise in itself.
His gun aimed at the nothingness that surrounded him in the darkly lit room of the Mansion\'s Library.
The rows upon rows of multicolored books scoured the large box room on shelves equally as big.
The books that any historian would drool to get their hands on.
Relena was very rich.
The dark wooden furniture had a reflection on them.
The light beamed down into the room from a window high above the partially subterranean room of the Peacecraft Mansion.
He turned again to his right side. His gun aimed high he hovered over the trigger.
Something was here with him.

*Something\'s wrong...* He thought to himself, slowly looking around him with a grimace of seriousness on his face.
He squinted then began to scan the room almost drunkenly.
His nature so robotic it was hard to tell what he was doing.
The messy hair fell to one side as suddenly Heero bolted for an old 17 century golden armor with a sword in it\'s hands.
He grabbed at something that didn\'t move.
It wasn\'t of the armor. He yanked at the unseen thing, the being that which he could not make out but knew existed.
His own reality was compromised but he felt reassured when he saw what fell.
The black night goggles hit the floor with almost no noise.
Almost instantaneously he grabbed at whatever form was the owner of the goggles.
His training was good, he predicted every movement thus far of the unseen intruder.

*Still nothing, but know someone\'s here...* He thought to himself missing the invisible being.
It had moved.
*Aww poor baby, can\'t see me can you.* Fire thought to herself, she then dove her right hand into the black gym bag.

She stood by a table that was literally only feet away from the confused Heero. Where the elegant red carpet with gold tassels met the hard wood floor her feet stood. She grabbed a red dart that had a plastic covering over the very sharp needle.
The point gleamed behind the clueless Heero as the predator set the prey for the killing blow. Fire then thrust with a hard pitch, the dart toward Heero.
The dart flew through the air but it didn\'t get the desired effect.
The sleeping poison as it were couldn\'t.
Heero felt something coming right for him and grabbed it in mid air turning his body in a full 360 in a matter of milliseconds. The blur that was Heero foiled the attempt.
Fire gasped.

*Now I know...Someone is here...* Heero thought.
Smirking to himself he reached down staring at the direction the dart came from scanning for movement.
He snapped the dart in half as his squat ended and he got to his feet with the fallen night vision goggles the intruder had dropped.
He put the device on his head and saw nothing.
The green sight looked on, he scanned and heard nothing.
He then curiously pushed a few buttons on top of the device, when he realized this
was the usual army grade night goggles he trained with, the only difference was it was slightly modified. He rushed his fingers on the buttons on the top of the machine over his eyes and switched the device to thermal mode.
He then saw his enemy.
A feminine form looked back at him in total shock.

He smiled, as he was now the hunter.

*Shit!* Fire bolted to the tunnel entrance she had made earlier.
The sewer beckoned her but she wouldn\'t make it.

Heero grinned wider.
\"Ice can you hear me?\" Fire called, blatantly allowing Heero to hear her talk to Ice over the Com Link.
\" Yes, what is it.\" asked Ice.

*So there\'s two of them...Interesting...* Heero thought.
He pulled his gun from the floor as fast as he could now that the goggles were on.
He then ran after the red and yellow form. He watched it go for a small hole that had served as an old secret passage.
\"I\'m being chased! He can see me! Where are you?!\" She yelled.
Jumping from one side to the other as Heero began shooting.
He had almost connected already with every shot.
Fire could barely dodge them.
He was good, too good.

\" I\'m at the bikes waiting for you. Hurry!\" said Ice loudly over the Com quickly breaking contact.

Fire saw a window as she continued running around the room avoiding gun fire.
The books were falling to the floor and the carpet was being knocked around.
Furniture was falling down and people began to wake up who were once asleep.
The silent night was now very much alive and becoming bright.
The alarm was turned on as Wufei was heard in the distance of the Mansion.
Some guards began making noises and searching for intruders.
Fire started to worry, her heat signature showed as she was becoming hotter.
She knocked over a lamp post and had an idea.

Click.

\"He\'s out of ammo! Perfect! Ok, here I come!\" She said aloud.

Spinning to her left side and letting the gym bag turn to her.
She dove in it with both hands and pulled out a white ball.
She clasped it and threw it at the loading gun Heero.
Gas suddenly sprouted up and Heero cursed.
His entire vision was now nothing but red. The gas was like steam. It didn\'t burn but it was blinding him.
He knocked the goggles off and charged out of the smoke looking around firing blindly into the dark room.
Guards ran in confused as the top upper window shattered outward.
Heero held his mouth from the strange gas and watched hearing footsteps run into the
night.

Heero climbed the black steel staircase that spun around to the second floor of the giant Library. He ran to the window that shattered and looked out of the window in disbelieve. Two black shrouded strangers were on motorcycles and were driving off.
They got away.

\"Let\'s get out of here!\" Said Ice starting her bike as they took off into the night.
Fire took off right behind her.


---------
\"Relena doesn\'t seem too happy today, I wonder why,\" Haruka snickered to herself and Amber.
\" I know, its wonderful seeing her so sad,\" Amber said.
\" Good morning Miss Naseera and Miss Suko, I can\'t believe you haven\'t heard what happened over the weekend,\" said Dorothy.
\" Haruka and I took a trip to the spa over the weekend, what happened,\" Amber asked.
\" Its just terrible, Miss Relena\'s mansion was robbed, all of the Peacecraft Jewels were stolen, thank god Heero was there to protect her,\" said Dorothy.
\"Who\'s \'Heero’ “Haruka asked, annoyed with Dorothy already.
\" He is Miss Relena\'s boyfriend, any day now he will be asking her to marry him,\" said Dorothy in awe.
\" Well, we\'ve got class see you later Miss Catalonia,\" Amber said.
Haruka did all she could not to laugh.
\" I think I\'m going to be sick, did you get a good look at this Heero,\" Amber asked.
\"No I didn\'t,\" Haruka told her.
\" Well, we need better meet up at our place later, from what I heard this guy is very good at what he does,\" Amber said.
\"And what exactly is that?\" Haruka asked.
\" I have done research on all five of them, they\'re all former Special forces officers,\" Amber said.
\"All five, you mean this Heero, Trowa Wufei, Duo and mister manors Quatre?\" Haruka asked.
\" Yes, they\'re all highly skilled and very good at their job,\" Amber said.
\"And that\'s serving Relena\'s father, right?\" Haruka asked.
\" Yes, they\'re assigned to protect Princess Relena,\" Amber said.
Haruka rolled her eyes. \"Of course\"
\" I wasn\'t impressed with them at all, we got right past them easily, and I told Trowa Barton he had a sexy body,\" Amber said.
Haruka burst out laughing.
\" I wonder what he thought of that, I bet he got hard on the spot,\" laughed Amber.
Haruka couldn\'t stop laughing, but stopped awkwardly as Milliardo stepped in front of them.
\" Excuse us,\" Amber said.
\" Its been a long time Haruka,\" said Milliardo.
\"Not long enough, Mill,\" Haruka told him, trying to get past him.
\" We need to talk Haruka,\" said Milliardo.
\"You won\'t leave me alone until we do, won\'t you?\" Haruka said.
\" Who are you, and what business do you have here,\" Amber asked.
\" I am here to see Haruka,\" Milliardo said.
\" She obviously doesn\'t want to see you, let\'s go Haruka,\" Amber said.
Haruka for the first time actually looked troubled and reacted to follow Amber.
\"I think she does want to come with me,\" Milliardo said, taking a hold of Haruka\'s arm.
\" Release her, or I will call security,\" Amber said.
Haruka looked unsure, \"I\'ll explain later I promise,\" She told shocked Amber.
\" Promise me you\'re going to be okay,\" Amber said.
\"I will be,\" Haruka told her.
\" I will go home and wait for you, I can\'t go to class now because I\'ll worry about you,\" Amber said.
\"I\'m sorry,\" Haruka said.
\" Its all right, but when you return I want to know everything,\" Amber said.
Haruka nodded.
\" I swear to god if you harm her, I will kill you,\" Amber said.
Milliardo smiled and walked away, holding onto Haruka.
-------
\"So? what do you want?\" Haruka asked.
\" You, that is what I want,\" said Milliardo.
Haruka wrapped her arms around her protectively, “we are over Milliardo, you hurt me...\"
\" You enjoyed it and you know it,\" Milliardo said.
\"How could I enjoy you hurting?\" Haruka asked.
Milliardo grabbed Haruka by her waist pushing her up against his hard-on.
\" Its been too long Haruka,\" Milliardo said.
\"Milliardo, stop it,\" Haruka pleaded, he was the only man to make he weak.
Milliardo dragged her into a private room as she started to rip her clothes off then removing his.
Haruka couldn\'t move, his touch melted her.
\" Do you want me Haruka,\" Milliardo asked.
\"..Yes..\" She answered.
Hearing her consent Milliardo ravished her body as no one heard their cries of pleasure.
--------
Haruka walked into the apartment at 8pm, she was ready to face Amber.
\" Haruka are you all right, I was so worried,\" cried Amber as she embraced Haruka.
Haruka smiled at her concerned best friend. \"I\'m alright, I guess I should explain now, n?\" Haruka said, sitting down on their sofa.
\" Yes, is he who I think he is,\" Amber asked.
Haruka nodded,\" Milliardo Peacecraft, yes.\"
\" I thought so, tell me your story,\" Amber said.
\"Well I\'ll put it simple, we meet I a long time ago, before I met you....he took me in, he had caught me robbing his house, anyway, I fell in love with him, I thought he loved me too but no, he only liked using and abusing me, Amber he\'s the only man that can control me...it scares me a lot, I loose control with him...\" Haruka told her.
\"I lost again today.....I gave into him like I always have....I\'m so ashamed...\" Haruka cried.
\" Don\'t be, he\'s a monster I\'ll kill him if he comes near you again,\" Amber said.
Haruka shrugged, \"You can\'t Amber, his military will kill you\"
\"Besides he\'s not worth it,\" Haruka finished.
\" He raped you, what if he comes here after you,\" Amber asked.
\"He didn\'t rape me....I let him,\" Haruka said.
\" Did you protect yourself,\" Amber asked.
\"Yes\" Haruka said.
\" He doesn\'t know that we robbed his little sister does he,\" Amber asked.
\"No, he knows nothing,\" Haruka answered.
\"I just want to take a shower and go to sleep...\" Haruka said, standing up and making her way to her bedroom.
\" You can sleep in my bed if you want to,\" Amber said.
\"No its ok, he doesn\'t know where I live now...I just want to sleep,\" Haruka said, disappearing into her room then her bathroom.
Amber retired to her bedroom for the night.
---------
\"You know I really wish our teachers and professors were more lively, they put me to sleep,\" Haruka complained.
\" I agree, this university is shitty we should transfer,\" Amber said.
Haruka giggled.
\" What we really need, is to pull of another job,\" whispered Amber into Haruka\'s ear.
\"I totally agree,\" Haruka told her, just as Dorothy was making her way to them.
\" Good Morning, Miss Suko and Miss Naseera haven\'t you heard the latest news,\" said Dorothy.
\" No, we don\'t listen to much gossip,\" Amber said.
\" Its Heero Yuy\'s first day here at Peacecraft Academy,\" said Dorothy.
Haruka smirked, \"Really? Well, we\'ll just have to meet this Heero Yuy,\" She said.
\"Nice to meet you,\" They girls heard a sexy deep monotone say, right behind them
\" So you\'re the famous Heero Yuy,\" Amber said.
Haruka turned, to find herself starring into deep blue eyes.
\"Hi,\" Haruka said, somewhat blushing.
Heero got quiet himself.
\" Well, sorry to be rude but I\'ve got class see you later Haruka,\" Amber said.
\"Later,\" Haruka said, not taking her eyes off of Heero Yuy.
\" That was interesting,\" Amber said as she took her seat.
\"Hi I\'m Haruka Suko,\" She said to Heero.
\" Its a pleasure to meet you,\" Heero said.
\"Same here,\" She said.
\" Would you like to join me for a cup of coffee,\" Heero asked.
\"Um sure,\" Haruka actually smiled.*What wrong with me?* She thought, following him.
\" How long have you been attending Peacecraft Academy,\" Heero asked.
\"For about two years now,\" Haruka answered him.
\" And your friend, she looks older than you,\" Heero said.
“ Yes, Amber is in her final year here, I have one year left,” Amber said.
\" Do you like it here,\" Heero asked.
\"Well, yeah I guess...\" She answered, shrugging.
\" If I could afford it, I\'d probably attend a much more prestigious college, but I\'m going here for free so I can\'t complain,\" Heero said.
\"Oh you’re lucky then\" Haruka said. *Why am I babbling like an idiot!?* She thought.
\" Not really,\" Heero said.
\"Why do you say that,\" Haruka asked, curious.
\" I\'d rather work to pay for my education, but its no use arguing with Relena,\" Heero said.
* Why am I telling her these things, what in the hell is wrong with me, I barely know her,* though Heero.
\" What is your Major,\" Heero asked.
\"Archeology\" Haruka answered him
\"You?\" She asked.
\" I am going into creating better technology for computers,\" Heero said.
\"Very interesting,\" Haruka said.
\" If I can sell one of my computer programs, I will have enough money to attend a better college,\" Heero said.
\"Well I wish you luck\" Haruka told him, smirking at his.
\" Are you seeing anyone,\" Heero asked.
\"Wha-?....um no why?\" Haruka asked, some what shocked at the blunt question.
\" A very lovely woman such as yourself should have a boyfriend,\" Heero said.
Haruka actually blushed, and looked away. \"Thank you...\"
\" You\'re very much welcome, sorry to cut this conversation short but I have class,\" Heero said.
* I\'d ask her out on a date, only if I wasn\'t with Relena,* thought Heero.
Haruka nodded and watched him go. *He\'s...interesting.*
Amber was listening to the Chemistry professor lecture about something she all ready knew, rolling her eyes in disgust as she took notes.
\" I can\'t believe this, I really need to transfer,\" mumbled Amber.
\" What\'s the problem woman, not smart enough for this class,\" Wufei asked blocking Amber way.
\" I am not wasting my time with the likes of you, now if you\'ll excuse me,\" Amber said getting up from her chair leaving the room.
\" She\'s quite frigid when it comes to men, she has a hot body though,” Duo said.
\" I can\'t believe you two, she hasn\'t done anything wrong, no wonder she doesn\'t trust men, I mean look at the way you two treated her,\" Quatre said.
\" Or she\'s just a dyke,\" Duo said.
\" SHE\'S RIGHT, BOTH OF YOU ARE ASSHOLES, YOU\'RE SO INSENSITVE TO HER FEELINGS I\'M GOING TO GO AND APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR RUDE BEHAVIOR, IF YOU TWO KEEP THIS UP YOU WON\'T BE LIVING IN MY HOUSE ANYMORE,\" screamed Quatre as he took off after Amber.
Duo and Wufei stood there shocked at Quatre\'s outburst.
\" Miss Naseera, Miss Naseera wait,\" Quatre said as he yelled for her to stop.
\" What do you want, to insult me like your pathetic friends do,” Amber said.
\" No, I\'d never insult a lady, I came to apologize for Wufei and Duo\'s harsh words towards you,\" Quatre said bowing his head.
\" Their words have no affect on me, I shed no tears over a man who says something that isn\'t true,\" Amber said.
\" Allow me to make it up to you Miss Naseera, would you like to go out on a date with me,\" Quatre asked.
\" And have your roommates follow us around all night,” Amber said turning around and walking away.
“ I promise you they wouldn’t follow us if we went out on a date,” Quatre said grabbing her arm.
\" I\'m sorry, but no,\" Amber said trying to break free.
Quatre took a deep breath and grabbed Amber by the shoulders and kissed her deeply.
\" What in the hell do you think you\'re doing,\" Amber said slapping him across the face.
Quatre let go of Amber bowing his head down in shame, “ I’m sorry, I guess that I deserved that, but I’ve had crush on you for quite a while, please forgive me,” Quatre said as he turned around walking away.
\" Wait, don\'t go Quatre,\" Amber said.
Quatre stopped and turned to her with a hopeful expression, “ yes,” Quatre asked.
\" I\'m so sorry I slapped you, I guess you don\'t think much of me now, I don\'t understand what you see in a person such as myself,\" Amber said.
\" Please don\'t speak of yourself that way, your a very wonderful person...I happen to like your smile a lot...\" Quatre confessed, visible blushing.
\" If we did go out on a date, where would we go,\" Amber asked.
\"Well, I could always take you to Tuscany, if that would please you,\" Quatre said, smiling as he lightly took her hand in his.
“ I\'m not that hard to please Quatre, you don’t have to take me out to some expensive restaurant,” Amber said.
“ I want to Amber, who wouldn’t want to take a beautiful woman such as yourself to dine in a five star restaurant,” Quatre said.
\" Yes, I will go out with you,\" Amber said blushing with a smile on her face.
Quatre smiled and kissed her hand.
“ Please, let me take you to my apartment so I can tend to your wound,” Amber said.
“ If you insist,” Quatre said as he laced his hand with Ambers and they walked towards her apartment.

--------
Heero sat in an armchair, wearing his glasses, studying his school work.
\"Heero, oh there you are my love,\" Relena walked over to him.
\"What is it Relena, I\'m studying,\" Heero told her, not taking his gaze away from his book.
\" Can\'t you take break, I\'ve really missed you,\" Relena said putting her arms around him.
\"Fine, you have 10 minutes,\" he told her, placing his books on the floor next to the chair.
Sitting down in Heero\'s lap, wrapping her arms around his neck as she kissed him.
Heero wrapped his arms around her, and obliged her wish.
\" I love you Heero, make love to me,\" said a breathless Relena.
\"Relena...I really don\'t think that\'s such a good idea, besides you should wait,\" Heero told her, pushing her lightly off his lap and he picked up his books.
\" Why, making love is what two people who are in love do to express their feelings for one another, I love you Heero don\'t you love me,\" Relena asked.
\"Relena, making love is a very different and serious thing, again there\'s no need to rush,\" He calmly told her.
\" Don\'t you think I know this, do you not find me attractive at all or is there someone else,\" Relena asked as tears sprang to her eyes.
\"Relena stop it please, now I really need to study,\" Heero told her. *Haruka...why am I thinking of her?* Heero thought to himself, some what confused with himself.
Relena ran out of the room crying as Heero heard the door to her room slam loudly.
Heero returned to his studies.
___________

Three months had passed since Heero Yuy had started attending Peacecraft Academy, Quatre R. Winner and Amber Naseera had officially became a couple and were very happy enjoying each others company, Haruka was spending more and more time with Heero Yuy as they went out to coffee, lunch and on many long walks in the park.
Haruka was staring off into space as her face bore a sad look.
“ Haruka are you all right, you look so sad,” Amber asked.
“ I’m all right Amber, really,” said Haruka.
\" You look so sad, you know what I think you need,\" Amber said.
\"What\'s that?\" Haruka asked.
\" I think we need to pull off a job,\" Amber said.
Haruka smiled, \"I totally agree\"
\" Who should we steal from this time,\" Amber asked.
\"Its your turn to pick,\" Haruka told her.
\" Relena Peacecraft has in her possession a Monet paining that is worth one hundred million dollars, I think that\'s what we should steal,\" Amber said.
\"Nice....we can put it in your room, I think it would fit with you \" Haruka said giggling.
\" Much as I\'d like to, I wouldn\'t want Quatre to see it,\" Amber said.
\"Oh yeah....well, we could always either sell it or put it in our \'storage\' room,\" Haruka told her.
\" The storage room sounds lovely, I think we could steal the painting quite easily, Quatre and I are attending a ball there in a couple of days, I will study the security system while I\'m there, you can join us if you want to,\" Amber said.
\"I might just do that\" Haruka told her.
\" Great, how about we wear some of that beautiful jewelry we borrowed,\" laughed Amber.
\"Oh my yes!\" Haruka said, acting silly.
\" I\'m glad you\'re cheering up Haruka,\" Amber said.
\"Me too\" Haruka said, smiling.
\" Let\'s go shopping for gowns to wear,\" Amber said.
\"Sounds good\" Haruka agreed.
\" Great, let me grab my purse and I\'ll be ready to go,\" Amber said.
--------
\"So what do you make of the thieves?\" Duo asked, Heero.
\" They\'re very skilled thieves, I believe them to be women,\" Heero said.
\" Figures,\" Wufei said.
\"What do you think are their purpose?\" Trowa asked.
\" They must be jewel thieves right, didn\'t they steal the Peacecraft families priceless jewels,\" Quatre asked.
\"Yeah but there\'s something else...\" Heero said, suspiciously.
\" The one I came into contact with was definitely a woman, she walked right up to me and rubbed her hands up against my lower body, then she said I had a sexy body,\" Trowa said with a blush across his face.
Duo busted out laughing.
\" It looks like to me that Trowa has a crush on one of the thieves,\" Duo said busting out into fits of giggles.
Trowa blushed harder.
\" Did she have a great body Trowa,\" Duo asked.
Trowa blushed a very deep red knowing not to tell anything else.
\"Duo shut up,\" Heero told him, making Trowa release his breath.
\" Oh come on Heero, lighten up a bit,\" Duo said.
\"If you want to talk about girls do it later, we need to figure out who the thieves are,\" Heero answered him, with a glare.
\" I\'ve all ready have it figured out, two hot babes robbed Relena, maybe I\'m living with the wrong person,\" Duo said.
\"Duo that is not the point!\" Heero yelled, frustrated.
\" Shut up Maxwell, who cares about two weak women, if they would\'ve crossed my path they wouldn\'t have gotten away,\" Wufei said.
\'\' You two are such stiffs, anyway Q-man tell me how things are going with you and that lovely Amber Naseera,\" Duo asked.
Quatre blushed and smiled.
\" I must say that I was wrong about her, she\'s quite a catch Q-man,\" Duo said.
\" Thank you Duo,\" Quatre said blushing.
Has the conversation turned to Amber Naseera, Heero turned into his own thoughts.
Heero was walking down the street, deep in though about his relationship with Relena, suddenly he heard screaming pulling out his gun he ran to where the noise was coming from to see Haruka pressed up against the alley wall as
Milliardo Peacecraft was thrusting in and out of her as both of them cried out.
Not bothering to even try to investigate Heero ran off to the next block before he could see the tears of pain rolling down Haruka\'s cheek as Milliardo had his way with her.
* I thought she was different from other woman\'s, I thought she might be the one to save me,* thought Heero.
\"Yo Heero! you there?\" Duo yelled waving a hand in front of Heero\'s face, breaking his concentration.
\" What,\" growled Heero.
\"Ok what the hell is up your ass lately?\" Duo demanded.
Heero got up from the table grabbing his bag as he walked out of the restaurant.
\" You\'re going to get shot one of these days Maxwell,\" Wufei said.
\"What? I just want to know what\'s up with him, you guys don\'t think he\'s acting weird??\" Duo asked.
\" It really isn\'t any of our business Duo,\" Quatre said.
\"Well excuse me for caring!\" Duo growled, standing up and leaving the table as well.
*Heero what\'s with you lately?* Trowa thought to himself, watching Duo argue with Wufei.
\" Well, if everyone is just going to up and leave I\'m going to see Amber,\" Quatre said.
Trowa nodded and left followed by Wufei.
-------
\"Amber, what do you think of this one?\" Haruka asked, showing Amber a beautiful deep red dress.
\" Its lovely, what do you think of this one,\" Amber asked showing her a emerald green strapless ball gown.
\"Now that is the one for you,\" Haruka said, looking at her best friends dress, \"I still need to find a better one,...maybe a black dress?\" She asked.
\" Black isn\'t a color to wear when you\'re going to a ball, I found it Haruka this is your dress,\" Amber said taking the dress off the rack.
\"Let me see,\" Haruka said, rushing over.
It was a one strap gown made of shimmer fabric, in the light the gown glowed like a warm fire.
\" That dress will look great on you, and we have just the jewelry to match it,\" Amber said.
\"You’re right and its to the floor, I love long dresses\" Haruka glees happily. *I can\'t wait to see Heero...um I mean...* Haruka blushed at her thoughts.
\" Do you think Quatre will like this dress,\" Amber asked.
\"Definitely, you will look beautiful, it brings out your eyes,\" Haruka told her.
\" Thank you, and your dress Fire\'s up your personality,\" Amber said.
Haruka laughed at the comment.
--------

A couple of days later Quatre and Amber along with Haruka were sitting in the coffee shop having lunch.
\" How was class Haruka,\" Amber asked.
\"Boring as always...I just wish the teachers would be more lively or something,\" She answered, looking threw one of her note books.
\" I agree, I\'ve been thinking of going to Harvard for medical school,\" Amber said.
\"Well, what ever you decide I\'m sure you\'ll be great at it...me on the other hand..\" Haruka said, reading her notes for her next class.
\"I agree with Haruka, but if you were to leave, you would be greatly missed...\" Quatre told her, blushing.
\" It was just an idea Quatre, I haven\'t made any decisions yet,\" Amber said squeezing his hand gently.
Quatre nodded.
As the three were chatting away they didn\'t notice that Heero had walked in and took a seat at the bar ordering coffee.
Amber got up to use the bathroom and on the way back she saw a familiar face, \" well hello there Mr. Yuy would you like to join us at our table,\" Amber asked.
Heero looked at the table Amber motioned too. *Haruka...* He thought.
He nodded, not wanting to be rude to Amber.
\" Hey Heero, I\'m glad you joined us,\" Quatre said.
Heero nodded to Quatre and sat down.
Haruka grabbed Heero\'s hand and hugged him.
\"Hey you, where have you been? Listen you want to study for Professor Une\'s class together?\" Haruka asked, really happy to see Heero.
\" Hn,\" Heero said.
Throughout lunch, Haruka stayed close to Heero like always, but she also felt his uneasiness, which bothered her.
\" How is Relena doing,\" Amber asked.
\" She\'s fine,\" Heero said in an annoyed tone.
* There must be something going on between Heero and Haruka,* thought Amber.
\" Quatre, where would you like me to meet you tonight before the ball starts,\" Amber asked.
\"Well I could always pick you up, at least that was my intent,\" Quatre told her.
\" The ball stars at 7pm, I\'ll be ready at 6:30, can Haruka ride with us,\" Amber asked.
\"No! don\'t worry about me, I\'m sure you two can use the privacy of a date without me around,\" Haruka told them.
\" Of course, but we\'re taking a limo and Duo, Wufei and Trowa will be riding with us,\" Quatre said.
\"No, no I\'ll take my car or something, really its fine,\" Haruka insistent.
\" Are you sure Haruka,\" Amber asked.
\"Yes, and I have to go excuse me, Heero will you walk me?\" Haruka asked, looking at Heero smiling.
\" All right, let\'s go,\" Heero said getting up from the table and leaving the cafe.
Haruka smiled and followed Heero.
---------
\"So? what\'s on your mind, your more quiet then usual\" Haruka asked, looking down at the ground walking next to Heero.
\" Its none of your business,\" Heero said coldly.
Haruka stopped in her tracks, he had never been so rude to her.
\"Excuse me? What the hell? I\'m asking because I care about you and you act like that?\" Haruka said, now getting annoyed.
\" Do you enjoy opening your legs for every man who you come in contact with,\" Heero asked.
\"What?\" Haruka gasped and slapped him. \"How can you say something like that?\" She asked.
\"Well Milliardo seemed to enjoy you in the alley way\" Heero told her walking away from her, making her gasp. \"Maybe if you weren\'t busy trying to get anywhere with me, you could actually be honorable,\" He finished, not noticing her tears, Heero meant a lot to her, but apparently it wasn\'t in return.
Heero didn\'t bother to look at her, he only flexed his jaw muscle from her stinging slap.
*He saw us...but he doesn\'t know....* She thought. \"Heero wait!\" She called but he didn\'t turn around.
She turned on her heels and headed for her class, quickly composing herself.
---------
\" Are you all right Haruka,\" Amber asked who was slipping on her undergarments.
\"Um...yeah, I\'m just having trouble with my hair, not sure what to do with such a short hair cut,\" She said.
\" Sit in the chair,\" Amber said.
Haruka did as was told.
\"So, I see you and Quatre are really hitting it off, done anything with him yet?\" Haruka teased grinning from ear to ear.
\"No, I have not Haruka, I like Quatre a lot, but I don\'t think we\'re ready for that, I\'m not sure if I love him yet,\" Amber said.
\"Aww, but you two are so cute together,\" Haruka told her, knowing there was a slight blush on Amber\'s face.
Amber brushed Haruka hair as she put some hair wax styling her hair as she slicked it down and putting some pretty diamond butterfly barrettes in.
\" Now, how does that look,\" Amber asked.
\"I like it, thanks,\" Haruka told her.
\" I\'m glad, is there anything else you need,\" Amber asked.
\"...Amber...what do you think of Heero?\" Haruka suddenly asked, turning to her with a serious expression on her face.
\" He\'s very quiet and withdrawn, but he is very pleasant when spoken to, he‘s to good for Relena even if she is a princess,\" Amber said.
Haruka sat down....“I really like him...but...\" Haruka stated, unsure of her words.
\" I know you do, I saw the way you were looking at him,\" Amber said.
\"...But he thinks I\'m a slut..\" Haruka told her, holding her tears back.
\" Has Milliardo came in contact with you again,\" Amber asked.
\"Heero saw us...in the alley way....\" Haruka told her, remembering the pain Milliardo gave her lower body, taking advantage of her once more. \"I feel so dirty...\" She said quietly.
\" I\'ll kill him, I\'d like to see that SOB try something on me,\" Amber said.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
\"I\'m sure its Quatre, with flowers,\" Haruka told her.
\" Look at me Haruka, I\'m in my undergarments,\" Amber said.
\"Don\'t worry I\'ll get it,\" Haruka stood in her gown and walked to the door and opened it.
Quatre stood with a smile and flowers in his hand.
\"Hi Quatre, she\'ll be out soon, you’re early,\" Haruka told him, leading him to the living room.
\" You look very lovely Haruka,\" Quatre said.
\"Thank, you, you look very handsome,\" She told him.
\" Good evening Quatre,\" Amber said.
Haruka quickly and quietly excused her self, living them alone.
Amber was wearing an emerald green strapless gown, across her neck was a very expensive looking emerald and diamond necklace with matching earrings and bracelet, on both her ring fingers were two emerald rings, her hair was up in a French roll with matching emerald and diamond hairpins to match it, she had a light layer of make up on.
Quatre gasp at how beautiful she looked.
Amber walked over to Quatre and gave him a kiss on the lips, as she smiled at him taking the flowers and putting them in water.
\" Quatre are you all right, you look faint,\" Amber asked rushing to his side.
\"Wow...I mean you look so beautiful, I\'m speechless,\" He managed to say.
\" I\'m glad you approve Quatre, you look very handsome yourself,\" Amber said smiling.
After a few moments, Quatre regained himself and took Amber\'s arm, \"Are you ready to go?\" He asked.
\" Let me get my cloak and I\'m ready to go,\" Amber said.
He nodded.
\" Haruka are you sure that you wouldn\'t like a ride,\" Amber asked.
\"I\'ll be fine, see you there,\" Haruka told her.
\" All right, you look beautiful Haruka,\" Amber said.
\"Thanks, but I\'m not the one that has a date drooling over them,\" Haruka teased, making Amber blush.
\" Nonsense Haruka,\" Amber said.
Haruka giggled to herself, watching Amber leave with Quatre.
-------
The ride to the ball was quite peaceful, Wufei, Duo and Trowa were silent most of the way, too busy drooling over Amber.
“ You really didn’t need to give me flowers Quatre, though they were very lovely did you pick them out yourself,” Amber asked.
“ Yes, they came from my rose garden,” Quatre said.
“ You have very excellent taste,” Amber said leaning over kissing Quatre on the lips as she laced her hand with his.
“ Those jewels are very lovely Amber, are they real,” asked Trowa.
“ Yes, they belonged to my mother, the set came with a Tiara but seeing I’m not royalty I didn’t wear it,” Amber said.
Trowa could tell by her voice that she was hiding something but kept it to himself.
“ You look very beautiful Amber, I’m sure you’ll be the most beautiful woman there,” smiled Quatre.
\" I told you that Amber was a knockout,\" Duo said to Wufei.
\"Will you shut up!\" Wufei barked.
Trowa smirked to himself.
The limo pulled up to the palace as the driver went and opened the door as Duo, Trowa, and Wufei as Quatre helped Amber out of the car.
“Good evening Quatre, Duo, Wufei and Trowa, oh and who is this,\" Relena asked.
\" My name is Amber Naseera, I\'m Quatre\'s girlfriend,\" Amber said.
Heero, who stood next to Relena, kissed Amber’s hand. \"How are you Amber?\" He asked, Relena was surprised, that he knew who she was.
\" I\'m fine, I must say you\'re looking very handsome Heero,\" Amber said.
He nodded his thank you, and showed them all in.
\" Thank you for showing us in Heero, you owe me a dance,” Amber said smiling.
“ Of course it would be my pleasure,” Heero said.
Throughout the night, Amber had seemed to charm everyone in sight, she was the belle of the ball, and had a very happy Quatre Winner on her arm.
Relena wasn\'t happy, she was a princess men were suppose to fall at her feet, not look at some woman who was obviously a money grubbing slut.
\"Enjoying your self, sister?\" Milliardo Relena asked, sipping his drink, looking around the ball room.
\" Its not fair Milliardo, what could that woman possibly have that I don\'t,\" whined Relena.
\" Perhaps its because she behaves like a woman, and not a little girl,\" said Milliardo as his eyes wandered around the room again.
Relena wore a halter top pepto bismol colored gown, she wore a matching tiara and earrings and bracelet, wearing a heavy amount of make up, she looked like a hooker.
\" What are you saying, that I act like a little girl, Milliardo look at me when I\'m talking to you,\" Relena said.
\" Did I say that, you should lighten up Relena,\" said Milliardo.
\" How can I, look at Heero following that woman around, its like he\'s avoiding me,\" Relena said.
\" Perhaps its because he is,\" mumbled Milliardo to himself.
\" Milliardo, do something get that woman away from my Heero this instant,\" Relena said stomping her foot.
\"Amber? Where\'s Haruka?\" Heero asked her quietly.
Just then, Haruka had entered the room.
\" There she is,\" Amber said.
Heero turned to see Haruka wearing
Haruka was wearing a shimmering golden red gown that had one strap, on her neck was a ruby and diamond necklace with matching earrings and bracelet, wearing a medium layer of make up as her lips were the color of a blood red ruby.
Her hair was slicked down with diamond butterfly hair barrettes she looked beautiful.
Her entrance also took knowledge o Milliardo\'s sight.
\" Not that woman, she\'s had her eye on my Heero for weeks, go deal with her Milliardo,\" whined Relena.
Walking over to Haruka, Amber gave her a hug, \" Milliardo is here please be careful,\" whispered Amber letting Haruka go.
\"I know, he\'s coming this way already,\" Haruka sighed.\" Duo, how about you dance with Haruka,\" Amber said pushing Duo Haruka\'s way.
\" Sure, let\'s go babe,\" Duo said offering his arm.
“ Let’s dance Quatre,” Amber said as they walked out onto the ballroom floor.
Quatre blushed as he held Amber close as they danced to the soft music not having a care in the world.
\"You look very nice Duo,\" Haruka told him, as he turned her around to the music.
\" You look very hot, and so does Amber,” Duo said.
Haruka blushed. \"Um thanks Duo,\" She said.
\" You\'re welcome babe,\" Duo said.
\" Heero, Relena would like for you to join us at our table,\" said Milliardo.
Heero nodded, looking at Haruka and Duo dance.
\"She sexy, isn\'t she?\" Milliardo told him, watching Haruka as well.
Haruka was actually smiling, something Duo was telling her.
\" I know that you like her Heero, I\'m only going to tell you this once, stay away from her, Haruka is mine she belongs to me,\" said Milliardo possessively.
-------hours later
Haruka had manage to avoid Milliardo, she was now washing up in the rest room, and now just has she was leaving the room, there he was waiting for her.
She tried walking passed him only to be grabbed roughly.
\" You\'ve been avoiding me all evening, I must say you look very beautiful tonight my dear,\" said Milliardo.
\"Milliardo please don\'t start\" She told him.
He pulled out to the balcony and half closed the doors, pushing her against the wall.
-------
Heero was walking to the restroom when he heard a loud yell.
\" You\'re mine Haruka, I can have when I want and take you anyway I want,\" said Milliardo pushing up Haruka\'s gown.
Heero looked out of the open doors and saw Haruka and Milliardo talking.
\"Stop it!\" She cried.
\" I\'ve been watching you Haruka, I\'ve seen you walking around campus with Heero,\" Milliardo said.
Haruka only looked at him.
\" I know you have a crush on him, do you honestly think he\'d leave a princess for some slut like you,\" said Milliardo.
Haruka looked away, a tear on her face. \"Stop it...\" She murmured.
\" You\'re nothing but a whore, all your good for is spreading your legs, I can\'t believe you\'d actually think that he\'d save you,\" said Milliardo.
Haruka closed her eyes at the thought that Heero thought of her as a whore. \"I\'m not a whore...\" She answered.
\"Leave me alone Milliardo....I don\'t want you to touch me anymore....how do you think the people would react knowing that you repeatedly raped me?\" Haruka challenged.
Milliardo laughed. \" You really think they would believe you?\"
She didn\'t answer as he approached her once more.
\" You liked it and you know it, all those times you were screaming my name,\" Milliardo said cackling.
\"I was screaming for you to stop! You know that!\" She told him.
\" If it was Heero would you scream for him to stop, tell me the last time we fucked did you see his face instead of mine,\" Milliardo asked.
\"No....he wouldn\'t hurt me...\" She told him.
\" I wouldn\'t be so sure, in the end you\'d come running back to me begging to be fucked,\" said Milliardo.
\"No!\" She said, \"I\'ve never come to you, you just do what you want!\" She glared at him.
\" Exactly, because you\'re mine and I will have you anyway I desire,\" Milliardo said ripping off her underwear.
Haruka screamed and punched him repeatedly to stop.
\" Let her go,\" said a mysterious voice.
The person walked out onto the balcony as he was bathed in the moonlight revealing to be none other than Heero.
\" Did you not hear me, I said let her go,\" Heero said pulling out his gun.
\"Heero...\" Haruka cried, shamly.
\" Don\'t tell me you actually want this whore,\" Milliardo asked.
Haruka sat on the floor covering herself.
She didn\'t want to hear Heero\'s answer, she ran
\" If you touch her again, mark my words I will kill you,\" Heero said in a deathly voice.
Milliardo smirked at him.
---------
\" I wonder what\'s wrong with Haruka,\" Quatre asked as he and Amber saw her running out of the ballroom.
Taking out her cell phone from her purse Amber dialed Haruka\'s cell phone.
\" Come on Haruka, pick up please,\" Amber said.
-------
Haruka sat in her room, staring at the ringing phone.
She stood and made her way to her bathroom and undressed for a long shower.
--------

\" Blast, I got the voice mail, Haruka I know you\'re there I\'m calling just to make sure you\'re all right I\'ll leave my phone on so call me ASAP bye,\" Amber said hanging up.
--------
After a long shower and now dressed in sweats, Haruka heard the message and dialed Amber\'s number.
\" Hello,\" Amber said.
\"Hey, its me,\" Haruka told her.
\" Are you all right, are you hurt, do you want me to come home,\" Amber asked.
\"No, I\'m fine...I\'ll explain all later, you should stay and have a good time with Quatre...besides I\'m home and..,\" Haruka started only to get interrupted by the doorbell.
\" Are you sure,\" Amber asked.
\"Yeah....\" Haruka answered, looking threw the peephole who was standing at the door.
\" if that bastard comes to the house call the police,\" Amber said.
\"I will...\" Haruka told her, unable to believe who was standing at the door. The doorbell rang again.
\"Amb, I have to go...\" Haruka told her.
\" Okay, I\'ll be home in a while bye,\" Amber said.
\"Bye\" Haruka hung up, knowing Amber was even more suspicious by now, but hurry to opening the door.
\"Heero?\" She said quietly. \"What are you doing here...\" She said, unable to look directly at him.
\" I came to see if you were all right, and to apologize for the harsh words I said,\" Heero said.
\"I\'m fine...you didn\'t have to come..\" She told him.
\" You should\'ve came to me Haruka, I would\'ve protected you from him, that day I saw you and him I had no idea that he was raping you,\" Heero said bowing his head in shame.
Haruka only shock her head. \"I didn\'t know what to do...\" She said, feeling extremely stupid.
\" I promise that he will never touch you again, I will protect both you and Amber from that sick bastard,\" Heero said.
\"He\'s never touched Amber...he never will either, you should worry about protecting me really...\" She said, still not able to completely look up at him.
\" I will protect you, look at me Haruka you have nothing to be ashamed of, if anyone should be ashamed it should be me,\" Heero said
\"Why you?\" She asked, momentarily looking up at him then back down.
\" May I come in,\" Heero asked.
\"Oh I\'m sorry,\" She said, moving aside for him to enter.
She turned towards him, folding her arms.
\" I care about you Haruka, probably more than I should,\" Heero said.
\"Yes...\" She told him.
\"Relena’s so happy about you, and doesn\'t shut up about her \'plans\' for you two and...\" She said trailing off.
\" Well, I\'m not I never loved her, I care about her but only in a sisterly way,\" Heero said.
\" If there is anyone in the world I\'d rather be with right now its you,\" Heero said.
Haruka visibly blushed and wasn\'t sure what to say.
\" I heard what you said tonight Haruka, I know how you feel, because I feel the same way,\" Heero said.
Haruka was speechless, completely unsure what to say or do.
Heero walked over to Haruka and took her into his arms in an comforting embrace.
She melted in the hug and released her breath she was holding, letting her head rest on his chest.
Heero tilted up her chin so that he could look into her eyes as he leaned down and covered her mouth with his in a kiss.
Haruka savored the kiss, her hand gripping his jacket tightly.
The kiss deepened as Heero demanded entrance to her mouth.
Heero lifted her up into his arms as he carried her to the bedroom as he shut the door behind him.
----------


\"I had a really good time tonight Quatre, this is really the first time I\'ve ever got this dressed up to go anywhere besides when we went to dinner,\" Amber said.
\"I\'m really happy that you came with me, I can honestly say I\'ve never seen someone so beautiful then you, especially tonight,\" Quatre told her nervously.
\" Thank you, would you like to come in for a nightcap,\" Amber asked.
Quatre blushed. \"Sure\" He answered.
\" Let me go check on Haruka real quick, then I\'ll make us some tea,\" Amber said.
Quatre nodded and watched her go.
Amber walked down the hall to Haruka\'s door as she peered in, \" Holy shit,\" Amber said shocked at what saw that Haruka wasn\'t alone that none of that Heero Yuy was in bed beside her.
Amber walked into the kitchen as she filled the kettle with water and set it on the stove then taking a seat next to Quatre.
\" Do you think it might be possible if I could stay at your house tonight,\" Amber asked.
Quatre\'s eyes, popped out of his head. \"Wh-...I mean um...sure.. Amber I\'ve been wanting to ask something,\" Quatre stumbled.
“ Thank you Quatre, I have something to tell you but you can’t tell anyone what I\'m about to tell you,” Amber said.
“ All right,” Quatre said.
“ When I went to check on Haruka, she wasn’t sleeping alone Heero was in bed with her,” Amber said.
\"Oh my....I see,\" Quatre said, trying to still focus on his question.
\" Now what is it you wanted to ask me,\" Amber asked.
\"Maybe they really care about each other...Amber I..,\" Quatre started, but only to be cut off again.
\" I only wish them the best, I want Haruka to be happy,\" Amber said.
\"Yes of course...but...,\" Quatre still tried.
\" Oh the kettle\'s done,\" Amber said getting up and going into the kitchen.
\"Amber will you marry me?\" Quatre finally blurted out.
Quatre looked extremely uneasy.
\" Did you say something Quatre,\" Amber asked.
He walked up to her and kneeled down, taking her hand. \"Amber will you marry me?\" He asked.
\" Why,\" Amber asked.
The response, visible shocked Quatre.
\"Who\'s there?\" A strong male voice interrupted.
Quatre and Amber both turned to see Heero only clad in his boxers and holding up his gun.
\"Gomen,\" Heero said and turned to the restroom.
Quatre stood, confused about Amber\'s reply and not at Heero\'s actions.
\"How can you ask that?\" Quatre said, not facing her. \"I ask because I love you, and you make me happy by only standing next to you,\" Quatre told her family turning and facing her.
\" I don\'t deserve you Quatre, you deserve someone that you can be happy with, all I would ever do is bring you pain, I don\'t want to hurt you but I won\'t marry you,\" Amber said.
Quatre looked at her heartbroken and shock his head at her. \"You just have..\" He said and left the apartment.
Hearing the door close Ambers legs gave out as she fell to the floor crying hysterically as her tears soaked her gown.
Heero walked out of the bathroom seeing a green figure sleeping on the floor picking her up he placed her on the couch and covered her with a blanket then he went back to bed.
--------
A couple of days had passed, Quatre had seemed withdrawn and always in deep thought, he rarely went to his classes, and avoided anyone.
Amber felt terrible about what happened, she stayed in her room only coming out to get something to eat, making Haruka fuss over her and worry.
\"You should call him Amb, he hasn\'t been in school in days,\" Haruka told her.
\" I did the right thing, I am unworthy of a man like him, sooner or later I\'d have to confess that I\'m a thief then what would he think of me,\" Amber said.
\"Then tell him, and then if he still wants your love because he obviously loves you then you know its right...\" Haruka told her.
\" I don\'t need anyone Haruka, I\'m perfectly fine on my own why should I change that, oh and would you pick up my assignments for me,\" Amber asked.
\"Oh, you don\'t need him do you, well how about you look at your self? I\'ve never ever seen you this way, you love him face and you do need him. Stop being so \'I\'m an independent woman blah blah blah, you know you need him with you,\" Haruka said and left the room.
\" I do not, fine I\'ll show her that I don\'t need anyone,\" Amber said as she showered and dressed and went to class.
*She is so hard headed....* Haruka thought watching Amber get into her car.
------

Parking her car and grabbing her book bag Amber went to her first class taking her seat as she waited for the professor to come in.
\" Hello Amber,\" Trowa said taking the seat next to her.
\"You should go talk to Quatre,\" Trowa told her.
\" I can\'t do that Trowa, you know why,\" Amber said.
\"No, actually I don\'t,\" Trowa persisted.
\" If I went and saw him it would make things worse, I care about Quatre very much but he will find the right woman,\" Amber said.
\"He already has, but she seems very hard headed, maybe you don\'t really love him then..\" Trowa challenged.
\" You\'re right I don\'t, I honestly don\'t give a damn about anyone except myself and Haruka, why don\'t you just leave me alone and go bother someone who cares,\" Amber said.
\"Well maybe Dorothy could comfort him then,\" Trowa told her, while he wrote in his notebook.
\" Give them my regards,\" Amber said getting up from her seat and moving to the back.

---------
\"Hi,\" Haruka said, happily to Heero who sat at a table eating lunch.
\" Hey Babe,\" Heero said taking a seat by Haruka.
Heero and Haruka had been a \'secret item’ since the night of the ball, but Heero\'s wasn\'t in a position yet to brake off everything with Relena.
\" How are you doing,\" Heero asked giving her hand a light squeeze.
\"Good, I\'m really worried about Amber and Quatre, I feel bad being so happy with you and seeing what they are going threw...\" She told him, he nodded in a agreement.
\" It will all work out in the end,\" Heero said.
\"I hope so....\"she said.
\" HEEROOOOOOOOOOOOO,\" screamed a familiar voice.
*Shit...*Haruka thought, watching Relena walk towards them.
\" Oh there you are Heero, I\'ve been looking everywhere for you, did you forget that we had a date today,\" Relena asked.
Haruka stood to leave, \"Excuse me, I have class.\" She said grabbing her books.
\" Please stay, there is something that I\'d like to tell Relena,\" Heero said grabbing Haruka\'s hand.
Haruka looked at him suspiciously.
\" What is going on Heero,\" Relena asked very snobbish voice.
She nodded and sat.
\" Its over Relena, I don\'t love you better yet I never loved you, I care about you but only in a sibling way, I found someone who can complete me in everyway I\'m sorry that it turned out this way,\" Heero said.
Haruka was shocked.
\" Are you sleeping with her, that whore of Milliardo\'s how could you do this to me Heero, I love you why do you want her when you can have a Princess someone who is pure and not tainted,\" cried Relena.
\" Haruka is not a whore, you knew all along what was going on between Milliardo and Haruka didn\'t you,\" Heero asked.
\" Yes I did, why should I care she\'s just some whore,\" Relena said.
\" You make me sick, I here by resign as your bodyguard and I\'m sure when I tell the guys they\'ll leave your ass too, you don\'t deserve to be who you are Relena,\" Heero said grabbing Haruka\'s hand as they left.
\"Heero what made you say all that?\" Haruka asked as she struggled to keep up with him
\" I didn\'t want to be in a loveless relationship anymore,\" Heero said.
\" Relena acts like a spoiled little girl, she\'s to clingy and she wears so much pink sometimes I want to vomit,\" Heero said.
Haruka giggled, \"Really is that the only reason you left her?\" Haruka teased.
\" No, I left her because I wanted to be with you,\" Heero said.
\"Thought so,\" Haruka said kissing him.
\" When will Amber coming home,\" Heero asked.
\"Not till about 6, why?\" Haruka asked.
\" Let\'s play hooky,\" Heero said with a wicked grin.
Haruka laughed at him and followed him to the car.
-------
Having finished her classes for the day Amber was sitting in the cafe enjoying a cup of hot cocoa reading the newspaper.
\" They have nothing but stupid shit in there,\" Amber said sitting the paper down.
\" Where else am I supposed to go, I certainly get any solitude at home,\" Amber said.
\"I see,\" The voice said.
\" Whatever you\'re trying to make me say or do isn\'t going to work, I\'ve got my own life to live and I plan on living it, not being some trophy wife, I intend to be a doctor one day,\" Amber said getting up from the table throwing two dollars down.
\"Then why are you so angry with yourself?\" The voice asked.
“ I am not angry at myself, you don’t know anything about me no one knows my true identity, not even Haruka,” Amber said rushing out of the coffee shop she slammed directly into someone.
\" God Damnit can\'t anyone watch where the hell they\'re going,\" Amber said.
\"Oh, I\'m so sorry are you...all right??’’ Quatre asked then realized who he had bumped into.
\"Amber...\" He said, looking at her painfully.
\" Hello Mr. Winner,\" Amber said.
Quatre couldn\'t help himself and hugged Amber tightly, not letting go.
\"Don’t call me that,” he said into her ear.
\" I will call you whatever I wish, now will you please release me,\" Amber said.
\"No...\" Quatre told her, only hugging her tighter as if a lifeline.
\" I still won\'t marry you,\" Amber said.
\"Why...why do you hate me so...I thought you loved me...\" Quatre cried.
\" I don\'t hate you Quatre, but I never said that I loved you, I was happy with our relationship the way it was, but then you just had to ask me to marry you,\" Amber said.
\"Look me in my eyes and tell me, tell me you don\'t love me or want me,\" He angrily challenged.
\" I\'m not going to fight with you Quatre, you can\'t make me do anything that I don\'t want to do, release me I need to go home,\" Amber said.
\"No, not until you look at me and say it.\" Quatre persisted.
Amber looked Quatre square in the eyes, \" I care about you Quatre, but I don\'t love you,\" Amber said.
Quatre released Amber gently looking at the woman he loved one last time as he walked away, Amber turned around and walked home.
-----------
Heero\'s phone rang.
\"Hello Heero,\" A familiar voice said, Heero frowned.
\"You’re with Haruka yes?\" Milliardo asked.
\"Yes,\" Heero told him.
\"Is she around you?\" He asked.
\"No, she in the shower, now what is this about?\" Heero said getting angry.
\"Maybe you should know her little secret Heero, you know since she loves you and all,\" Milliardo said.
\"What are you talking about now?\" Heero asked.
\"Just trust me, search her room, maybe you\'ll find something\" Milliardo said laughing then hung up.
Heero looked at the bathroom door, he could hear the shower still going.
He turned to Haruka\'s dresser and opened it an inch.
At first nothing but something shining at the button of the drawer caught his eye.
He opened the drawer and moved the clothing.
*I can\'t believe this...it can\'t be...* Heero thought shocked at his find.
The dagger was about 18 inches long the handle was made of gold with many precious gemstones encrusted as the blade was well polished.
\"Heero, do you know where you threw my shirt?\" Haruka stepped out of the bathroom, drying her hair with a towel, only to find Heero glaring at her and holding \'his\' knife she had stolen.
\"What is this?\" Heero demanded.
*Oh god....* Haruka thought as her tease of panic quickly filled her eyes.
\"I can explain,\" She started.
\"Please do try,\" Heero told her, walking towards her suspiciously.
After 5 minutes Haruka couldn\'t explain anything.
\"You’re the thief....Amber too right, there was two of you...you lied to me\" Heero told her, still walking towards her.
\"What else are you lying about to me?\" He demanded.
\"Heero please, don\'t be mad I...\"Haruka started, inching away from him. \"I didn\'t know...I \" She said.
\"You didn\'t know what!?\" Heero said, passing past her and out of the apartment.
\"That I was going to fall in love with you....\" Haruka cried on her bed.
\" What\'s wrong Heero, I figured you\'d be saying the night,\" Amber asked.
\"Don\'t you or that lying bitch ever come near me again,\" He said, handing Amber the knife and walking off.
\" Well, it looks like we\'ve been caught, if anyone is a bitch around here its Relena Peacecraft,\" Amber said.
\" Haruka are you all right,\" Amber asked.
\"No...\" Haruka answered her.
\" Neither am I, that\'s why I made a stop at the liquor store on the way home, I feel like getting drunk care to join me,\" Amber asked.
Haruka nodded and grab a bottle.
\" Excellent, I was planning on drinking alone,\" Amber said.
---------
Haruka and Amber drank till they passed out on the couch, watching movies.
\"I don’t want to move...,\" Haruka mumbled in the morning, slowly waking up.
Amber jumped up from the couch covering her mouth as she ran to the bathroom as the sounds of vomiting was heard.
\"Nice thing to hear in the morning...,\" Haruka growled, rolling over.
\" I\'m going to bed Haruka, I feel like shit,\" Amber said.
\"K...I\'ll be here...sleeping\" She answered covering her self with the blanket over of the couch.
It was after lunch time when Amber emerged from her room showered and dressed, walking over to the couch shaking Haruka awake.
\"Hn? what?\" Haruka mumbled.
\" Its time to get up, lets go out to lunch,\" Amber said.
\"Fine...let me take a shower....\" Haruka said, standing up and making her way to her bathroom.
\" Okay, I\'ll be waiting for you,\" Amber said.
After 30 minutes, Haruka stood in front of Amber, dressed in baggy sweats. \"Ready\" She said.
\" Let\'s go,\" Amber said.
\"Where are we going?\" Haruka asked, following Amber out the door.
\" Wherever you wish, my treat,\" Amber said.
\"I want Subway....\" Haruka told her.
\" We need to talk about Heero, he knows about us,\" Amber said.
Haruka suddenly got very quiet.
\" I know its a touchy subject, I had a run in with Quatre yesterday, that\'s why I brought home liquor,\" Amber said.
\"Can we just move and not come back??\" Haruka asked.
\" We shouldn\'t run away from our problems, because knowing Heero and Quatre they\'d track us down,\" Amber said.
\"Something tells me they won\'t...at least not Heero, I don\'t know what happened with you and Quatre, but I can assure you, Heero doesn\'t want to have anything to do with me,\" Haruka told her sadly.
\" Heero loves you, he just couldn\'t stop loving you even if he tried, I honestly didn\'t want to break it off with Quatre but I didn\'t want to marry him,\" Amber said.
\"Because you’re scared Amber,\" She told her.
“ Not you too, I had to hear that line from Trowa, I am not afraid of anything, maybe I just don’t want to get married,” Amber said.
\"Why?\" Haruka asked.
\" I have my reasons,\" Amber said.
\"Which are?\" Haruka persisted.
\" I do not wish to be tied down, he\'d expect to much from me to give up everything I\'ve worked for to serve him,\" Amber said.
\"What the hell makes you think that\'s what he wants? From day one when you told him what you wanted to do with yourself he was nothing but supportive! You’re just making excuses,\" Haruka told her.
\" I am not making excuses, I refuse to marry him that that\'s final, I\'ve made my bed and I\'m going to lie in it,\" Amber said.
\"Fine then I don\'t want to hear you bitch, I know your lying to yourself, I just hope you don\'t realize that to late,\" Haruka told her, finishing her sub.
\" I don\'t know what our next move should be, I really wanted to steal that painting,\" Amber said.
*Now I know she\'s lying, she changed the subject,* Haruka thought, listening to Amber.
\" We should finish this semester then we can transfer,\" Amber said.
\"How long till the semesters over?\" Haruka asked.
\" Three weeks,\" Amber said.
\"Do we really have too? I just want to leave...\" Haruka whined.
\" Oh all right, when do you want to leave,\" Amber asked.
\"Um...tomorrow?\" Haruka suggested.
\" Okay, lets go home and pack,\" Amber said.
Haruka and Amber spent all day and night packing most of their belongings and what they had stolen, carefully putting them in their cars.
\" Why do you want to leave Haruka, I\'d like to stay and hold my head up high,\" Amber said.
\"I just don\'t want to face Heero...I \'m done suffering and all that, besides I can get away from Milliardo mainly...\" Haruka told her.
\" I have a letter I\'m going to mail to Quatre, then we can leave,\" Amber said.
Haruka nodded.
Amber put the letter in the mailbox and got in her car as she drove away.
---------4 days later
\" This is a beautiful house,\" Amber said looking around.
\"Yes, yes it is..\" Haruka said looking up at the two story house from the yard.
The house was a two story four bedroom with three bathrooms, it was about ten miles from campus in a very nice part of town.
\" I\'ll take the first floor you take the second,\" Amber said.
\"Sounds good to me!\" Haruka glees.
The two girls spent the rest of the day and main part of the night moving into the house.
------------
\" There mail has arrived Master Quatre,\" said Rashid.
\" Thank you Rashid,\" Quatre said going threw the mail when he saw a letter from Amber.
Opening up the letter he started to read.

Dear Quatre,
Haruka and I are leaving the country, I\'m sure you know by now that I\'m a liar and a thief, now you know why I couldn\'t marry you, I know you’re thinking what I was lying about, it wasn’t about being a thief it was that I love you, I only wish you the best in life, please be happy it hurts to see you so sad, that night we went to the ball was the best night of my life, I never thought in my wildest dreams I could ever find a man who truly cared for me, but I hope you understand my choice hopefully one day we will meet again, and when that day comes I will have become the doctor that I always wanted to be and you will have found a woman who is worthy of your love, I miss you very much, until the day we meet again,
Love Amber.
-----------
A year had past, Amber was now in her first year of medical school and Haruka was in her final year of college.
Haruka had been doing the work at home, because her and Amber had an unexpected surprise a few months back. Haruka had had Heero\'s child, a healthy baby boy.
\" I\'m home,\" Amber said walking though the doorway.
\" I bought groceries, we\'re having fried chicken tonight,\" Amber said.
\"Sounds really good,\" Haruka called, walking downstairs.
\" And how is my sweet Nephew doing,\" Amber asked.
The little smiling boy in Haruka\'s arms giggled.
\" You\'re such a good boy, yes you are,\" Amber said tickling his chin.
\"Kaji\'s doing good, I think his fever is finally gone,\" Haruka said, bouncing Kaji in her arms.
\" That\'s good, you really look like you could use a break, why don\'t you go out to a movie tonight and I\'ll stay home and watch Kaji,\" Amber said.
No really, besides I think I\'ll go take a walk with him, “Haruka said, smiling at her son, who held on tightly to her.
\" All right, but my offer is always open,\" Amber said.
\"Yes I know, we\'ll eat dinner and then I\'ll go to the park with him,\" Haruka told her.
\" All right,\" Amber said.
----------

\" I\'ve got you Haruka, you actually thought that you could run away from me,\" said Milliardo who was holding a piece of paper containing Haruka and Ambers address.
Getting in his car he sped off in the direction to Haruka and Amber\'s house.
-----------
\"Ok Kaji, you’re all dressed up Amb, you sure you don\'t want to come?\" Haruka asked, still dressing her son warmly.
\" I\'ll stay here, I\'ve got some papers to look though, take your cell phone with you just incase,\" Amber said.
\"Ok,\" Haruka said and took Kaji in her arms and walked out of the house.
\"Look Kaji, pretty ducks,\" Haruka said sitting down on a bench where there was a small pond with two ducks in it, Kaji giggled and tried to reach for the animals.
---------
Milliardo was driving by a park when suddenly he slammed on the brakes as he broke out into an evil grin.
\" So my little whore is a mommy now,\" Milliardo said walking up behind Haruka.
Haruka gasped at the familiar voice. *No...* She thought, slowly turning around facing him, and holding on tightly to Kaji.
\" He\'s such a beautiful child, may I hold him,\" Milliardo asked.
\"No!\" Haruka said, turning Kaji away from him.
\" I can\'t even hold my own son, give him to me you whore,\" Milliardo said.
\"Kaji\'s not your son!\" Haruka stated.
\" Oh, then Relena was right when she said that you were fucking Heero, now that I look at that bastard of yours I can see that he is truly Heero\'s son,\" Milliardo said.
\"Don\'t call him that,\" Haruka told him, glaring.
\" You\'re coming with me Haruka, do not try to run or I\'ll make sure you never see your son ever again,\" Milliardo said.
\"Don\'t do this Milliardo,\" She said, grabbing her phone and pressed #1.
\" Hello,\" Amber said.
\"Amber, Milliardo\'s...\" Haruka was cut off.
\" Hello,\" Amber said.
Amber got up quickly going into her office and getting a gun out and leaving the house.
Parking her car beside Milliardo\'s she ran to were she heard the noises.
\" I promise you that Relena will raise your son just like her own,\" Milliardo said grabbing Haruka\'s arm.
\"Milliardo stop it!\" Haruka screamed.
Kaji was crying his tiny heart out.
\" Let her go you son of a bitch,\" said a voice.
\"Ah, the protective friend, nice to see you again Amber,\" Milliardo said, seeing her gun and backed up slightly.
\" You get the hell away from her before I kill you,\" Amber said.
Milliardo nodded and backed away from Haruka and Kaji, who quickly walked over to Amber.
\" If you come near us again, I will make sure they never find your body,\" Amber said.
\"I take it that Mr. Yuy doesn\'t know about his son then,\" He said, Haruka only stood watching him.
\" That\'s none of your concern Milliardo, leave this country and never come back,\" Amber said pointing her gun straight at him.
Milliardo smiled and turned to his car.
\"Can we please go home?\" Haruka asked quietly, while hushing her scared son.
\" Yes, lets go home,\" Amber said.
----------
It had been over a year since Quatre got Amber\'s letter confessing her true feelings for him.
\" Why did you leave me Amber, I really miss you,\" Quatre said as he re read her letter.
\"If you keep reading that letter I\'m going to burn it,\" Heero told him, walking in and sitting down.
\" Its the only thing I have left of her,\" Quatre said.
Heero was about to say something when Quarto’s cell phone rang.
\" Hello,\" Quatre said.
\" Hello Quatre,\" Milliardo said.
\" What do you want Milliardo,\" growled Quatre.
\" I have very interesting piece of information I\'d like to tell you,\" Milliardo said.
Quatre put Milliardo on the speaker phone so everyone could hear him.
\" Now what is this very interesting piece of information you\'d like to tell us,\" growled Quatre.
\" I found Haruka and Amber, they\'re living in Cambridge Mass. and they\'re not living alone either,\" Milliardo said.
Heero frowned at Haruka\'s name.
\" What are you saying, that they\'re married,\" Quatre asked in a sad tone.
\" That frigid bitch pulled a gun on me, now I know why she wouldn\'t marry you, what I meant was is Haruka has a baby,\" Milliardo said.
“ How dare you call her that, she should’ve shot you,” growled Quatre.
Heero spit out the tea he was drinking.
\"A baby?...\" He said.
\" And it sure as hell isn\'t mine,\" Milliardo said.
And with that Milliardo hung up.
\" Congratulations Heero,\" Duo said slapping him on the back.
Heero turned around and glared at Duo.
\"What do you mean congratulations?\" Heero demanded.
\" You\'re a father,\" Duo said.
\" Milliardo\'s a liar,\" Heero said.
\" Why don\'t you and I go and see for ourselves, I want Amber back she isn’t going to get away so easily this time,” Quatre said in a determined voice.
Heero nodded.
\" Q, can I come to, I need a little vacation away from here,\" Duo said.
\" All of you can come if you want, we can take my jet,\" Quatre said.
\" All right, thanks Q,\" Duo said as he bounced off to his room to pack.
Heero nodded and walked out of the room.
-------
A day after Milliardo had found them, Amber decided to take some time off from school to stay home and make sure Haruka and Kaji were safe.
\" Haruka, have you thought about making a comeback tour,\" Amber asked.
\"What do you mean?\" She asked, playing with Kaji.
\" Have you thought about pulling off a job,\" Amber asked.
\"Oh um...no not really, I mean with Kaji, why you have something in mind?\" Haruka asked, cradling a sleeping Kaji.
\" There are a few priceless Monet paintings I\'d like to steal,\" Amber said.
\"Ok, where?\" She asked.
\" At the Museum, but its nothing I couldn\'t handle by myself,\" Amber said.
\"No, I want to do it, sounds fun,\" Haruka told her smiling.
\" How about we take little Kaji to his first trip to the museum,\" Amber said smirking.
\"Sounds like fun,\" Haruka said.
\" Seeing how you and Kaji are almost makes me wish that I was a mom,\" Amber said.
Haruka smiled.
\"So when should we hit it?\" Haruka asked.
\" First we study the security system, then we steal,\" Amber said.
---------Few days later
Amber had learned the security system easily enough.
She and Haruka where preparing for their hit.
Amber was dressed in a tight black vinyl bodysuit with a matching mask that covered her face.
Haruka was dressed the same but with an airtight baby holder.
\" You ready Fire,\" Ice asked.
Fire smirked and nodded, then looked down at her quiet but clearly confused Kaji.
\" Let\'s do it,\" Ice said.
Fire jumped up and grabbed the railing, quickly and skillfully making her way to the paintings, all while Kaji stayed quiet and watched.
\" Everything is clear Fire,\" Ice said.
\"K,\" She said, opening the glass and slipping the painting out.
\"I got the first one,\" Fire told her.
\" Good, if you see anything you like take it,\" Ice said.
\"Ok....where\'s the other one you wanted?\" Fire asked, whispering, seeing Kaji smile up at her.
\" Its the one with the bridge,\" Ice said.
\"K.....Ah there I see it,\" Fire said, quickly grabbing it \"Ok, is everything still clear? I\'m coming back,\" She said.
\" Yes, everything is clear,\" Ice said.
Fire nodded and carefully made her way back into the vent and out to where Amber was waiting for her.
\" Good work Fire, you haven\'t lost your touch,\" Ice said.
\"Apparently not!\" Fire said smiling.
\"I think Kaji loved it too,\" She said, looking down at her smiling son who now giggled.
\" He\'s just like his mommy,\" Ice said tickling Kaji\'s chin.
Kaji smiled at Amber and grabbed her finger.
\" Let\'s go home and put this stuff away, then I think I\'ll go out for a drink if that\'s all right with you,\" Amber asked.
\"Ok, I think my angel needs a nap\" Haruka said, following Amber, watching Kaji yawn.
\" He is such a good boy,\" Amber said.
-----------------
\" Its good to be home again,\" Duo said as he bounced around the hotel room.
\"Shut up,\" Heero told him coldly.
Ever since the \'news\' Heero had been shutting himself from everyone.
\" You really need to lighten up Heero, its not healthy,\" Duo said.
Heero glared at him.
\" Leave him alone Maxwell, he has a lot on his mind,\" Wufei said.
There was a knock at the door.
Trowa walked over to the door an answered it.
\" You came, I knew that you would,\" Milliardo said inviting himself in.
\" What do you want,\" growled Heero.
\" I came to give you their address,\" said Milliardo.
Milliardo handed it over to Heero.
\"By the way Heero, your child looks exactly like you,\" Milliardo told him on his way out.
\" I\'m going to see Haruka, I want to know if what Milliardo says is true,\" Heero said.
Before anyone could say anything Heero was gone.
----------
\" Are you sure that you don\'t want me to stay home with you and Kaji,\" Amber asked.
\"No, no, go have a drink, we\'ll be fine,\" Haruka reassured her.
\"Besides Kaji\'s asleep, so I\'m going to turn in soon too,\" She told her.
\" Call me if you know who comes around again,\" Amber said.
\"I will, now go!\" Haruka said, pushing Amber out the door.
\" Bye,\" Amber said.
\"Bye,\" Haruka said closing the door.
Haruka made her way up the stairs, checked on Kaji one more time and went into her room, undressed and went into the shower, keeping the door open in case Kaji needed her.
Heero rang the doorbell several times with no answer he decided to let himself in.
Hearing that the shower was on he walked up the stairs peeking in the bathroom at saw that Haruka was in the shower, hearing a gurgling noise Heero saw that a door was open as he peered in and saw his chibi self reaching out for him.
\"Ahhh...\" Kaji said.
Lifting up the baby Heero held him tight as he sat down in the rocking chair as he hummed softly to Kaji.
Haruka heard a nose coming from the baby monitor, she grabbed a towel and ran to Kaji\'s room, only to stay shocked and still in her tracks.
\"Heero...\" She said.
\" Why didn\'t you tell me,\" Heero asked.
\"I...you didn\'t...when you left you made clearly that you didn\'t want me near you...Kaji was a surprise to me too..\" She said quietly, tightly gripping her towel.
\" I didn\'t mean what I said that day,\" Heero said.
\" Does Relena know that it was Amber and I who robbed her,\" Haruka asked.
\" No, and she never will I can\'t say she didn\'t deserve to have her priceless treasures stolen from her, but I\'d like my dagger back please,\" Heero asked.
“ Of course you can have the dagger back,” Haruka said.
\" Are you and Amber still thieves,\" Heero asked.
\"..Yes..\" Haruka answered looking away.
\" What did you steal this time,\" Heero asked.
\"Paintings..\" She said.
\" I won\'t allow my son to be raised by criminals,\" Heero said.
Haruka started to panic, “Kaji is not going anywhere Heero,\" She warned.
\" I mean it Haruka, if I find out that you\'re stealing again I will come and take my son away from you,\" Heero said.
\"Don\'t you dare...he\'s all I have!\" Haruka yelled.
\" Then you should retire from your job as a thief,\" Heero said.
Haruka walked over to him and took Kaji carefully from his arms.
\" You\'ve done a good job taking care of him on your own,\" Heero said.
\"Of course I have....he\'s all I have now that...\" Haruka didn\'t finish her response, she only cuddled Kaji to her.
\" I can\'t believe how much he resembles me,\" Heero said.
\"I can..\" Haruka said, unconsciously smiling down at Kaji.
\" Why did you leave,\" Heero asked.
Haruka turned to him. \"Because, I couldn\'t be...with you...\" She answered looking away from him, putting Kaji back into his crib
\" I\'m sorry,\" Heero said.
\"Why?\" She asked.
\" For not being there for you when you needed me the most,\" Heero said.
\"Doesn\'t matter, you made yourself clear about \'us\'\" She said.
\" Milliardo called us and said that you had a baby, I had to come here and make sure,\" Heero said.
\"Well now what? your going to take him from me? Just like Milliardo wants to do?\" Haruka said, teary eyed.
\" I came here to ask for a second chance Haruka,\" Heero said.
\"What?\" She asked surprised.
\" I love you Haruka, I want to marry you so we can become a family,\" Heero said.
Haruka had tears rolling down her face, shaking her head no. \"You’re just here, saying all this because of Kaji...\" She murmured.
\" I love you Haruka, I\'m going to give you an ultimatum, you either retire as a thief or I will take Kaji with me,\" Heero said.
\"Don\'t you dare Heero Yuy...I\'ll kill you..\" She said shaking and crying.
\" If you retire Haruka, you get me and Kaji,\" Heero said.
\"Fine...\" She said, turning and leaving the room, going to her own and getting ready for bed.
-----------
Amber was sitting at the bar sipping her drink as she listened to the music, drowning her drink she walked out on to the dance floor dancing to the heavy metal that was blaring threw the speakers.
Quatre, Duo, Trowa and Wufei walked into the club and taking a seat at a large table.
\" This place is kicking,\" Duo said eager to dance.
\" By all means Maxwell go dance,\" Wufei said who was annoyed by the loud music.
\"I\'m going to the dance floor, lots of babes!\" Duo said, wiggling his eyebrows and going towards the dance floor.
Trowa was looking threw the crowd, only for something to catch his eye.
Amber was wearing a skintight black vinyl cat suit, fitted at ankle and wrist front half belt with buckle, with matching gloves and knee high boots with a two inch heel, her hair was in a high ponytail and she had heavy makeup on that made her look wicked.
*I knew it was her!* Trowa thought, thinking about his encounter with the thieves.
Amber was out on the dance floor as her body danced to the beat of the music many men were staring at her as she let her hair loose Duo was mesmerized at the way she moved.
“ Hey babe, would you like to dance,” asked Duo.
“ No,” Amber said not even looking at Duo.
Amber walked right past Duo and over to the bar ordering a vodka tonic with a twist of lime taking a seat at the bar slowly sipping her drink.
Trowa turned towards Quatre, who sat quietly watching the crowd.
\"Quatre would you mind getting me a drink?\" Trowa asked, keeping an eye on Amber.
\"Sure...Whisky Sour?\" Quatre asked, standing up, Trowa nodded.
Quatre made his way threw the crowd and reached the bar.
\"Yes, can I get a Whisky Sour and a Martini?\" Quatre asked the bartender.
He sat back against the bar waiting for the drinks.
Spiting out her drink, “ what in the hell is he doing here,” Amber said as she drowned her drink.
\"Come on dance with....Amber?\" Duo said coming back to bother her only to realize who she was.
\" Hello Duo,\" Amber said.
\" Oh my god, you look hot, how in the hell can you fit into that thing,” Duo asked.
“ That’s for me to know and you to imagine,” Amber said seductively.
Duo’s face went red as he started to get naughty images of Amber.
Quatre suddenly spotted Duo talking to a very sexy looking woman...and she looked familiar.
\" Join me at the bar for a drink Duo,\" Amber asked.
“ Two shots of Vodka,” Amber said.
“ Same,” Duo said.
Quatre looked over at Duo and the woman, catching Duo\'s eye.
\"Hey Q-man, come over here,\" Duo called out.
Quatre nodded and made his way over.
\" Duo, I don\'t want to see Quatre right now,\" Amber said.
\"Too late,\" Duo told her as he moved out of the way and Quatre saw her.
\"I\'ll be at the table with Tro and Wu-man,\" Duo said leaving them.
\"Amber...\" Quatre said surprised.
“ You look wonderful Amber,” Quatre said as his eyes traveled up and down her body.
\" You look well Mr. Winner,\" Amber said not looking him in the eye.
Quatre\'s face harden at the formal name.
\"I received your letter,\" He told her.
\" What brings you here Mr. Winner,\" Amber asked drowning one shot quickly slamming the glass on the bar.
“You,\" He answered.
“ Hey, give me two shots of the strongest stuff you’ve got,” Amber said to the bartender.
“ Why are you drinking so much,” Quatre asked in a worried tone.
“ Its none of your damn business what I do anymore, you should‘ve given up on me a long time ago Mr. Winner,” Amber said finishing her shots throwing a $20 on the bar and leaving.
Walking over to the table where Trowa, Wufei and Duo were sitting at, she stood there with her arms folded across her chest and glared at the three of them evilly.
“ Why are you here, I demand to know right now,” Amber said coldly.
“ Winner has come for you, Yuy has come for his son, we just came along for support,” Wufei said.
“ Do you honestly think I will let any of you take Kaji away from his mother, if you dare try I will make sure you never see us ever again lets just say I am fairly wealthy or what the hell I’ll just kill you, we moved here to get away from your insanity, I can’t believe this, Winner do you honestly think I’m stupid enough to fall for your charms, I knew what you wanted from me the moment we met, by the way you’re looking at me now you’re just dying to get me in the sack, I won’t marry you I don’t want to be your friend, I have a new life now and that is caring for my sister and my nephew,” screamed Amber.
“ Heero is going to take care of Haruka and the baby now, your job is done,” Trowa said.
“ So its Heero Yuy to the rescue, just because my so called job is done, even if that is so I’m not getting married and I’m sure as hell not having any children, now if you’ll excuse me I’m going home, oh if you come anywhere near my house I’ll shoot you on the spot and bury you in the orchard,” Amber said with a wicked smirk as she left the club.
\"Amber wait, please...\" Quatre said, reaching out, grabbing her arm gently.
“ Leave me alone Winner, didn’t you listen to what I said in the club, did you think I was lying,” said Amber.
“ Please let me take you home, you’ve drank way to much tonight to drive home,” Quatre said.
“ I’m not going anywhere with you Winner, how am I to know you’re not going to rape me, I’ve called a taxi so go away,” Amber said viciously.
Five minutes later the taxi arrived and Amber was gone.
----------
Heero was sitting in the rocking chair watching his son sleep, glancing over at the clock it was after 2am.
Hearing a car pulling up in the driveway then hearing the door close as he heard someone walking up stairs.
Pulling out his gun Heero sat quietly and waited to see if the person would come into the nursery.
Checking on Haruka and seeing that she was asleep, she went to check on Kaji before she went to sleep.
Walking into the nursery Amber walked over to the crib to see that Kaji was awake as he reached his arms up at her.
\" How is my sweet boy,\" Amber asked picking him up feeling that his diaper was wet.
\" What are you doing with my son,\" Heero asked.
“ So you actually stake a claim to him, I can’t believe Haruka allowed you in our house after what you’ve put her threw, my nephew is wet and I’m changing his diaper, why should you care anyway you left her alone and pregnant,” Amber said coldly putting Kaji back in his crib.
\" Do you normally go out and get drunk a lot,\" Heero asked.
“ Yes, I had a lot to drink tonight, I had a run in with your buddies, they showed up at the club I was at tonight, and to answer your question no I don’t go out and drink a lot, I’m in medical school and help Haruka with Kaji,” Amber said.
\" Thank you for protecting them from Milliardo,\" Heero said.
“ They are my family, I will always protect them from anyone who harms them,” Amber said.
\" I have all ready given Haruka and ultimatum, either she retires or I take Kaji away from her,\" Heero said.
“ I told your buddies tonight I will kill anyone who even thinks of taking my nephew, I have enough money to make sure you never come near us again, why didn’t you give her a chance to tell you the truth, no wonder I hate men so much,” Amber said.
\" I know enough, that you\'re criminals exposing my son to your world of thievery,\" Heero said.
\" If you loved her, you\'d listen to her story as to why we do this,\" Amber said.
\" Why are you a thief Amber, tell me your hidden secrets, were you only with Quatre to steal from him,” Heero asked. Amber slapped him across the face,\" how dare you speak to me that way, I\'d never even thought about stealing form Quatre once, he never did anything to give me a reason to steal from him, I loved Quatre enough to let him go so he wouldn’t heartbroken when he found out about me,” Amber said.
“ I saw the letter you wrote him, he’s carried it with him everyday for a year,” Heero said.
“ I still love him, but I can’t marry him and you know why,” Amber said.
“ You steal from people who have wronged you in some way,” Heero asked.
\" That\'s exactly right, I\'m not only a excellent thief but I\'m a skilled assassin as well, instead of killing your precious Princess I decided taking her valuables would be more painful,” Amber said.
\" What do you have against the Peacecraft Family,\" Amber asked.
\" Do you know what it feels like to see your parents killed before your eyes, and then their bodies dumped in acid to destroy the evidence,\" Amber asked.
\" Why were they killed,\" Heero asked.
\" They were killed because the people were trying to overthrow King and Queen Peacecraft and my parents were to take the throne, Relena and Milliardo are my first cousins,\" Amber said.
\" So you\'re royalty,\" Heero said.
\" Yes, I am a Princess but I want nothing to do with that family, please don\'t tell anyone what I\'ve told you I haven\'t told anyone my story not even Haruka,\" Amber said.
\"And what\'s her story?\" Heero asked her, looking at the now sleeping Kaji.
\" That\'s not my story to tell,\" Amber said.
\" All I will say is that Milliardo was very fond of Haruka as a child,\'\' Amber said.
Heero\'s eye flared with anger. \"How fond?\" He demanded.
\" He sexually abused her as a child, I didn\'t know about it until that day he showed up at the academy,\" Amber said.
\" I\'ll kill him,\" Heero said.
\" Not if I kill him first,\" Amber said.
\"Its not worth it,\" A sleeping voice said.
\" Haruka, you should be in bed, Kaji\'s fine,\" Amber said.
\"The only way I\'m going to bed is if you two shut up and go to bed before you wake up my baby,\" Haruka said, walking between the two and to Kaji\'s crib, looking at him sleep.
\" I changed his diaper he didn\'t act like he was hungry,\" Amber said.
Haruka didn\'t answer, she only smiled at her sleeping son and caressed his cheek.
\" Well, I better go to bed, I\'ll probably have a slight hangover in the morning, Heero will you be staying with us for awhile,\" Amber asked.
Haruka only listen, still facing her son.
\" Yes, if that\'s all right with you and Haruka,\" Heero said.
\" Of course, there is plenty of room take your pick at a guestroom,\" Amber said.
Haruka nodded.
\" Goodnight Haruka, Goodnight Heero,\" Amber said retiring to her bedroom.
\"I\'ll show you to a room,\" Haruka said quietly, turning and leaving the room.
\" Thank you for allowing me stay here,\" Heero said.
\" You\'re welcome,\" Haruka said.
___________

Haruka and Heero were up early the next morning while Amber was still in bed asleep tired from the night before.
\" Would you like to go out for breakfast,\" Heero asked.
Before Haruka could reply the doorbell rang.
\"No thanks,\" Haruka answered, putting Kaji in his high chair, preparing him for his breakfast.
\" Good morning,\" Duo said happily.
\"Now where’s that baby!\" Duo gleed.
\" Please forgive us, he ate way to much sugar this morning,\" Trowa said.
Heero nodded.
\"Baby!!\" Duo screamed, surprising Kaji in the middle of eating, which caused him to drool and Haruka to giggle at her son\'s stunned look, watching Duo come near him.
\" Where is the other woman,\" Wufei asked.
“ Amber is asleep,” Haruka said.
“ Good, I never saw a woman drink that much before, she threatened to shoot us and bury our bodies in the orchard if we came over here,” Wufei said.
\"She probably would, you should’ve seen her when Milliardo tried to take him,” said Haruka, giving Duo the baby food so he can feed Kaji who still stared at him wide eyed.
\" Good Morning Haruka, do you need help with breakfast,\" Quatre asked.
\"Oh um no, is everyone hungry?\" She asked.
\" Yes, lets eat,\" Duo said.
Haruka made omelets for everyone and remembered exactly how Heero liked his.
She sat down next to Kaji and Duo and started to eat with all of them Heero took notice of his omelet.
*She remembered...* He thought looking at her, talking to Duo and Trowa.
Heero took Haruka\'s hand as he smiled at her, yanking her hand from his nothing bothering to look at him.
\" Good Morning Haruka, good morning Heero,\" said a sleepy Amber walking into the kitchen pouring herself a glass of orange juice.
Not even noticing that anyone else was there Amber didn\'t even bother covering herself up as she wore a mint green nightie that was very short that you could see her underwear peaking out.
\" Aren\'t you even going to cover yourself up woman,\" Wufei barked.
\" What\'s the matter Wufei, been around little girls too long to see what a real woman looks like,\" Amber said rubbing her hand across his chest.
Blood started running down Wufei\'s nose as he tried to say something but couldn\'t.
\" I thought so, you\'re all high and mighty on the outside but on the inside you\'re just a boy, you couldn\'t handle a woman like me,” Amber said seductively walking over to Duo who was feeding Kaji.
\" And how is my sweet little boy doing this morning,\" Amber asked tickling Kaji\'s chin.
Duo just drooled at the sight of Amber’s body.
“ Good morning Duo, I had a really great time last night, how about we go out dancing tonight,” Amber said.
“ Uh, sure Amber but wouldn’t you want to do that with Quatre,” said Duo.
“ The last time I checked Quatre and I broke up, why should it matter anyway,” Amber said.
Quatre just sat there in a state of shock at the sight of his ex girlfriends behavior and state of dress.
“ Is this how you always greet visitors in your home,” Trowa asked.
Amber walked over to Trowa and sat down in his lap wrapping her hands around his neck.
“ I will greet visitors in my home anyway I see fit, until someone else pays the bills I will act however I wish, its not like you have a problem with it since the lot of you besides Heero have rose to the occasion this morning, maybe next time I’ll come out wearing absolutely nothing, then we’d get a big reaction,” snapped Amber.
“ What’s the matter Amber, did you see someone that you thought would never come back for you,” Trowa asked.
“ I knew that you’d come sooner or later, I just didn’t think Heero would drag the lot of you here, Quatre and I are over there is nothing anyone can do to change it, now if you’ll excuse me I’m going back to bed, I meant what I said last night if any of you dare try and take Kaji I’ll kill you and bury your bodies in my orchard,” snapped Amber again.
“ If you want to finish what we started that night in the tunnels Barton, you know where to find me,” whispered Amber getting up from his lap and heading to her bedroom.
It took all of Trowa’s will power not to follow her but he knew Quatre would be heartbroken if he pursued her.
“ Do you really think she’d come out here naked,” Duo asked.
“ Amber has never been one to lie about anything so that answers your question,” Haruka said.
Quatre just sighed hearing Amber’s bedroom door slam loudly.
“ It looks like you struck a nerve Barton,” Wufei said.
-----------
\" How is Amber doing really Haruka,\" Quatre asked.
\"Good, but we\'ve both changed over the year, she\'s really busy with school and it bothers me that she worries so much about me and Kaji, but she\'s very strong....but she still misses...things...\" Haruka said, not quite sure what to say.
\" She was drinking a lot last night, I must say she looked really hot though,\" Duo said.
Trowa kicked Duo\'s leg under the table.
\" Ouch, what did you do that for Trowa,\" Duo asked.
Trowa glared at him then glanced at the uncomfortable Quatre.
Duo quickly closed his mouth.
\" She was so cold last night, I know she loves me I have this letter to prove it,\" Quatre said.
Haruka stood, taking all their plates and took the to the sink, and prepared for the dishes, she didn\'t want to have anything to do with the present conversation.
Amber just sat in her room having taken a shower and was dressed she didn\'t want to face Quatre.
* I really thought Barton would’ve taken my offer,* thought Amber.
\" Most woman\'s would think I\'m crazy, turning down a trillionares proposal,\" Amber said out loud.
\"Yes that they would,\" Haruka said, scaring her, entering her room.
\"Give me your glass I\'m doing dishes,\" She told her.
\" I\'m coming out, I\'m going to fix breakfast for myself, I\'ll do the dishes go play with Kaji,\" Amber said.
Haruka nodded, knowing there was no point arguing with her.
---------
Haruka sat in the sand box with Kaji, playing in the sand in the back yard.
\" Can I play with Kaji,\" Duo asked.
\"Sure,\" Haruka told him, Kaji looking still uncomfortable.
Just then, Heero and Trowa had stepped outside as well.
Heero caught Kaji\'s eye, and he smiled.
Suddenly Kaji started to crawl out of the sandbox, both Duo and Haruka carefully watching him.
Then, he stood.
\"Oh my god...\" Haruka gasped happily.
Kaji was smiling brightly at Heero and he started to walked towards him, reaching out for him.
Heero squatted down, while Kaji reached him.
\"He\'s only 8 months..\" Haruka murmured.
Heero picked him up as he hugged Kaji tight as a smile appeared on his face.
\"Should I be offended? I really don\'t think Kaji likes me,\" Duo said, sitting in the sandbox.
\"Of course he doesn\'t like you, he\'s a Yuy,\" Wufei told him, making Duo snort.
Trowa just sat down as he watched Heero and Haruka bond with their child and Wufei and Duo fight.
*Its like a live soap opera...I don\'t need TV...* Trowa thought.
---------
Amber was in the kitchen washing the dishes when she felt two arms slide around her waist.
“ How dare you touch me, let go of me this instant,” Amber demanded.
\" What\'s wrong with you Amber, why are you acting like this,\" Quatre asked.
\" That\'s none of your damn business, why do you care I figured the second you read my letter you\'d hop back into bed with Dorothy Catalonia,\" snapped Amber.
\"What?\" Quatre demanded shocked at the accusation.
\" I know all about your past relationship with that whore,\" Amber said.
He released his arms from her and turned her towards him, \"What are you talking about?\" He asked, eyes suspicious.
“ Liar, now get out of my house, don’t think for one second that I won’t shoot you, or better yet I’ll just kick your ass,” Amber said pushing him into the island in the kitchen.
\"Amber I\'ve never been, nor never will be in any way or form with that girl....she scares me honestly,\" He said.
“ Oh really, so you’re saying you never slept with that good for nothing harlot,” Amber said.
“ I’d never lie to you Amber, I’ve never had a relationship with that woman I swear,” Quatre said.
“ I don’t care what you do with your life Quatre, our relationship has been over for a year, why in the hell did you come here, did you think that I’ve changed, all of you are the same you sleep with us then you leave us, did you not hear me Winner, if you and your friends don’t get the hell out of my house, I’m going to have a really big mess to clean up,” Amber said heading for her study.
“ I’m not going anywhere, not until I get you back why else did you think I came here,” Quatre said.
“ I thought you were just up for a hot woman such as myself, I saw the way you and everyone else was looking at me last night and this morning, disgusting selfish pigs, thinking with your dick instead of your mind, I pity you Winner you’re willing to ruin your families honor by marrying some low class piece of trash,” Amber spat.
\" That’s not true and you know it, you’re lying I know about...everything...your parents, I just don\'t understand why you keep thinking I want to marry you to keep you tied down, when all I want is to be happy with you and watch you be an amazing doctor that I know you will be...I love you Amber, I would never try to change anything of you...but one thing...\" Quatre told her.

\" So the only reason you want to marry me is because I’m royalty, you’re a fucking asshole, why in the hell did I allow myself to get involved with you, I don’t want you Quatre you will not break me, you think because you’re so rich you can have anything or anyone you want, even if Haruka leaves with Heero I will not retire as a thief,” Amber said.
\"And you have no reason to keep doing it either, its like a comfort for you isn\'t it? Like proof your free?\" He said.
\" I happen to like testing my skills, I will have every Monet that is within my reach,\" Amber said.
\"I could always buy them for you,\" Quatre offered.
\" I don’t want your money, I have plenty of money myself, why should you care anyway, I never even thought about stealing from you, I only stole from that bitch Relena to take back what belongs to me, my mother’s jewelry, that whore still has my parents art collection,” Amber spat.

\"I honestly wouldn\'t care if you stole from me... I just don\'t want you in danger or trouble...is all,\" He said.
\" How much do you know about me,\" Amber asked.
\"Everything...\" Quatre admitted.
“ How dare you, how dare you look into my life without asking me first, did you not stop and think if someone leaked it out that I was still alive that the Peacecraft family would send assassins after me, also endangering the lives of Haruka and Kaji, how could you do this to me Winner, get out of my sight I don’t want to see your face in this house again,” Amber said walking away from him.
“ Do you really think I’d put you in danger Amber, once I found out your identity I had all of the records destroyed, I assure you that no one will come after you ever again,” Quatre said.
“ Thank you, but I still won’t marry you or have any of your children, my life is the way I want it to be, I refuse to become your trophy wife, once Haruka and Kaji are safe I will move to my private island estate, even your resources couldn’t find it,” Amber said.
“ Please don’t leave me again Amber, why don’t you believe my feelings for you, I don’t care about having kids right away I just want to be with you,” Quatre said.
“ I will not take orders from some man, why can’t you just give up Winner and let me go, my heart is ice not even you could melt it,” Amber said turning around and walking away.
Quatre grabbed her so quick she didn’t even have time to react as he deeply kissed her.
“ I’ll never let you go Amber, you’re the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with, I love you,” Quatre said grabbing her as he leaned in and kissed her again slowly.
Amber kissed him back as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
\"Amber please marry me..\" Quatre asked after their deep kiss.
\" Yes, I\'ll marry you Quatre,\" Amber said.
Quatre smiled and picked her up as he kissed her passionately.
\" Quatre put me down,\" giggled Amber.
Quatre did and nuzzled her neck lovingly.
\" Quatre, there is something I should tell you,\" Amber said.
\"What is it?\" He asked.
\" I\'m a virgin,\" Amber said blushing slightly.
“ So am I,” Quatre said.
“ Haruka and Kaji are my life, I have taken care of them since we moved here, and I don’t care to date believe me men from my class asked me out and I told them no, I am dedicated to taking care of Haruka and Kaji,” Amber said.
\"I\'m sure it does,\" Quatre said.
\"Here,\" Quatre said quietly, taking a small box from his pocket.
\" Its beautiful,\" Amber said opening the box.
Quatre smiled and placed the ring on her finger.
The ring was a platinum one carat marquise cut diamond.
\" I can\'t believe after everything that you\'d still want to marry me,\" Amber said.
He only smiled at her and embraced her once more.
----------
\" We need to talk Haruka,\" Heero said.
Haruka nodded and followed him to her upstairs living room.
Kaji was sound asleep in his crib.
\" Why didn\'t you tell me that you were pregnant,\" Heero asked.
\"I told you that already, you made it clear you didn\'t want anything to do with me,\" Haruka said, still not looking at Heero since he had arrived.
\" I all ready told you that I was sorry, what else do you want me to do beg for your forgiveness,\" Heero asked.
\"No...\" Haruka told him. \"You just don\'t understand what you meant...what you mean...to me,\" She said, clasping her hands together.
\" I was out of line that day, I came back to your apartment a couple of days later to find that you and Amber had left, then Quatre got Amber\'s letter saying that you left the country,\" Heero said.
\"And?\" She said.
\" I tried to find you, but I gave up knowing that you didn\'t want to be found,\" Heero said.
\" Tell me your story Haruka, tell me why you became a thief, Amber told me her story now tell me yours,\" Heero asked.
Haruka only looked at him dangerously.” Why should I tell you?\" She said.
\" Amber told me to listen before I jump to any conclusions,\" Heero said.
\"Fine\" She said, taking a deep breath.
\" I want to know everything Haruka, even about how you met Milliardo,\" Heero said.
Haruka\'s face turn to pain at the mention of Milliardo.
\" Its not your fault Haruka, don\'t blame yourself,\" Heero said taking a seat beside her.
\"I was just 7...my parents were murdered in front of me...by Peacecraft soldiers...and Milliardo...\" She started.
Heero took Haruka\'s hand entertaining their fingers as he gently squeezed her hand, \" go on its all right I\'m here,\" Heero said.
\"My parents where rebelling against the Peacecraft\'s demand of ways They shot my father and slit my mothers throat,\" She told him.
\"...Milliardo was 17 then....and he caught me when I tried to run and he smiled at me...\" She continued.
\" What did he do to you,\" Heero asked who started to shake.
\"I kneed him and ran away....after that I was on my own for a year or so. stealing was my only way to feed myself and then I was caught by a vender...and Milliardo came again,\" She said.
\"They took me to the palace and put me in what looked like a dungeon, but it had a bed...\" Haruka stated.
\"Milliardo took care of me after that...and started to demand things and took them either I agreed or not...like sex...he beat me as well...I went threw till I was 14....then I had a chance to escape and I took it...a year later I met Amber, we helped each other and became sisters at heart...we were both brought up in shit so we had to do what we could to fend from ourselves...then we went to Peacecraft academy and then Milliardo found me again...and demand what he claimed was his....me..\" She said, finally looking up at Heero.
\"And now he found me again, but with Kaji, he thought he was his baby then he saw Kaji was clearly yours,\" She stated.
Heero bowed his head in shame as Haruka felt moisture fall on her hands, \" I\'m so sorry that you had to grow up that way,\" Heero said.
\"Heero I left the UK because I didn\'t want to fight Milliardo anymore, and even more so after I found out I was pregnant....even if Kaji would of been Milliardo\'s...I still would of left, I couldn\'t handle seeing you every day and not be able to hug and touch you,\" She cried.
Heero took her in his arms and hugged her, \" I\'m so sorry Haruka, even if you are a thief that doesn\'t make me stop loving you, please let me back in to your life and Kaji\'s,\" begged Heero.
\"Yes...\" She cried again his shoulder. \"Heero I\'m so scared...\" She told him.
\" I will always be here to protect you, I promise,\" Heero said.
Haruka looked up at him and kissed him painfully.

Few Days later
\" I can\'t believe this country, the people are such barbarian,\" Relena said turning her nose up in disgust.
Milliardo smirked, as he grabbed his only luggage.
\" What is your problem, Milliardo,\" Relena asked.
\" Nothing Relena, now get into the limo so we can go to the hotel,\" Milliardo said.
\" I demand that you give us a pink limo at once, do you have any idea just as to who I am,\" Relena said rudely.
\"Relena get in the limo,\" He ordered, pushing her inside.
\" I\'m going to make sure that whore of yours pays for dragging me to this awful country,\" Relena said.
Milliardo smirked once more and relaxed into the seat.
After many arguments later and many insults, Relena and Milliardo checked into the hotel and were in their rooms resting.
*Now...Haruka your going to be mine very soon...* Milliardo thought smiling to himself.
* I\'m going to get you back Heero, then we can become the family I\'ve always dreamed of with your son,* thought Relena as she hugged her pillow.
---------
Amber was in her room reading a book as she took notes, hearing the ceiling thump she smiled to herself.
A knock sounded at her door.
\" Come in,\" Amber said.
\"I thought you might like some tea,\" Quatre told her, walking into the room with a tray.
\" Thank you Quatre, that was so sweet you can’t sleep either can you,” asked Amber.
\" No, I never knew that Heero could be so loud,\" Quatre said.
\" I did, those two would keep me awake most of the night,\" Amber said.
\" I\'m just glad they\'re back together, now Kaji will have both his mother and father to love him,\" Amber said.

By now, both were extremely enticed, prepared for the next step. Quatre pulled Amber under him and advanced on her, thrusting into her right away. After another painful gasp, he continued, thrusting in and out slowly.

Amber was overwhelmed, her back arching along with him, along with her bucking hips and her chest starting to heave in exhaustion as their movements became faster. She had been wanting him for so long and now she would have him forever, she thought, as they began calling each other’s name.
Quatre was in total bliss Amber felt so warm and so tight he was moaning in total bliss a few more strokes and they both cried out as they both came as their bodies shook from the aftershocks.
Quatre removed himself from inside her and laid down beside Amber holding her close, \" I love you,\" Quatre said, I love you too,\" Amber said as they both fell asleep.


Her legs wrapped tightly around his waist, allowing him to go even deeper. His hands roamed her body, grabbing at her breasts as the two began to climax. He thrusted into her even harder, the intensity causing a few tears to squeeze through her eyes. And with that one, final thrust, they both climaxed into one another.

-----------
\" Ohhh god...Heero...\" Haruka moaned, as Heero quickened his rhythm.
Heero groaned at Haruka\'s nails scratched at his back, while she threw her head back in pleasure, as he kissed her neck.
Heero picked her up into his arms, sitting her on him, lifting her up and down, as his lips barely left hers.
He hungrily sucked at her breast, while her hands played in his already natural unruly mess of a hair.
He suddenly stayed still has he gripped her hair tightly, making her gasp with delight.
\"Tell me you love me Haruka,\" He demanded in a sexual tone, smelling her neck, delivering butterfly kisses along her exposed neck.
\"I love you Heero....\" She moaned as he started to lay her back down, and burred himself into her deeper.
She wrapped her legs around him tightly as he rammed himself into her, making her scream his name.
Moments later, then simultaneously reached their ecstasy, Haruka moaning his name as Heero groaned hers.
He carefully removed himself from her and wrapped his arms around her.
\"I love you,\" He told her. She smiled and cuddled into his arms to fall asleep.
--------
The next morning Amber awoke as her alarm went off, shutting it off she got up from the bed almost falling down, feeling sore from the previous night, looking down she noticed that her thighs were stained with blood.
Looking at the sleeping Quatre on the bed as she sheets only covered his lower body as she noticed there was a blood stain on the bed.
Walking into the bathroom and turning on the shower she was greeted by arms sliding around her waist.
\" Sorry I woke you up, I\'ve got class today,\" Amber said.
\" Can\'t you take the day off,\" Quatre asked holding her tighter.
\" No, I\'ve been away long enough, I have a test today but we can go out tonight if you want to,\" Amber said.
\" That sounds great,\" Quatre said giving her a kiss.
After both Quatre and Amber took a shower and got dressed, she wore a pair of jeans and a t-shirt with a Harvard sweatshirt over it with Ryka running shoes her hair was in a ponytail and on her finger was Quatre‘s ring.
Quatre wore a pair of blue jeans and a button down blue shirt, he wore a pair of addias sports shoes.
\" Good morning Haruka, Good Morning Heero, and how is my darling little nephew this morning,\" Amber asked tickling Kaji\'s chin.
\"Hi guys,\" Haruka greeted them smiling, while feeding a giggling Kaji.
\" Where\'s Heero,\" Quatre asked.
\"Sleeping,\" Haruka answered.
\"Wait, what the hell is on your finger? And your glowing!\" Haruka gasped.
\" I\'m engaged,\" Amber said blushing.
Haruka screamed and hugged Amber.
\" I am not glowing, if anyone is glowing its you,\" Amber said.
Haruka laughed. \"Ok so we are both glowing then,\" She said.
\" I\'ve been engaged to Quatre for five days, you need a break Haruka, Quatre and I are going out to dinner tonight you and Heero should join us, I\'m sure Duo could watch Kaji for you,\" Amber said.
\"I guess... I\'m sorry I haven\'t notice before I was....I’m sorry\" Haruka said.
\"But I don\'t want to leave Kaji,\" She said.
\" Kaji will be all right for a couple of hours Haruka, I promise you that Duo will take good care of him,\" Amber said.
\"I know but....he\'s my baby...\" She said looking at Kaji that smiled up at her and reached out to her.
She quickly picked him up.
\"I\'ll talk to Heero about it,\" She told them.
\" I know how attached you are to him, I\'ve even grown attached to him the past year, you\'re only 22 Haruka you should go out and enjoy yourself,\" Amber said.
\"I\'m content staying home,\" She said, smiling at Kaji, kissing his nose repeatedly, making him giggle.
\" If that\'s what you want then, I was going to tell you something important tonight but I guess it doesn\'t matter, anyway I\'ve got class could you drive me Quatre,\" Amber asked.
\" Of course, let\'s go,\" Quatre said as they left.
Before Haruka could argue, Amber and Quatre had left the house.
*I hate when she does that!* Haruka thought.
----------
A pink limo pulled up on the drive way as the driver went to open the door as a woman got out and walked up to the door ringing the doorbell as she straighten herself up.
Haruka answered the door with Kaji in her arms.
\" Hello Haruka, its so good to see you again, and oh you have a baby he so darling,\" Relena said.
Kaji started to cry as he heard Relena\'s voice.
\"Relena? What are you doing here?\" Haruka asked, trying to comfort Kaji, who hid his face in her chest.
\" I came here to see you of course, I heard that you\'d given birth to Heero\'s baby and I thought I\'d come visit, may I come in,\" Relena asked.
* The baby looks just like Heero, I could pass this baby off as mine easily,* thought Relena.
Haruka hadn\'t time to answer as Relena walked inside.
\" Your house is very lovely, and where is Amber doesn\'t she live with you,\" Relena asked taking set on the sofa.
\"She\'s at school,\" Haruka told her.
\" So you\'re a stay at home mother while Amber attends school,\" Relena asked.
\"I guess yes, but I have home school\" Haruka told her.
\" You really must feel tied down, being a single parent and all it must hurt to see Amber having fun while you have to stay home,\" Relena said.
\"What are you doing here?\" Heero said, walking down the stair, clad only in blue silk boxers.
\" Why hello there Heero, I came to visit Haruka and Amber, and to see your son of course,\" Relena said.
\"Why?\" He asked, glaring at her, while taking Kaji from Haruka.
\" Well, I was in town for a conference and I thought I\'d be nice and come see Haruka and Amber,\" lied Relena.
\"Well you saw Haruka, now leave, something tells me Amber wouldn\'t care to see you\" he told her.
\" Fine, I\'ll leave it was nice seeing you again though,\" Relena said as she left.
* I\'ll have you Heero, even if I have to kill,* thought Relena grinning evilly as her limo drove away.
\" Don\'t let her in this house again Haruka, she\'s dangerous I bet Milliardo is in town too,\" Heero said.
Haruka\'s face turned to fear at the mention of Milliardo once again.
\" Don\'t worry Haruka, you\'re safe I promise you, I will protect you and so will Quatre and Amber,\" Heero said hugging her.
She laid her head on his shoulder, contently.
\" Sorry I slept in, what would you like to do today,\" Heero asked.
\"This..\" She said, hugging him tightly.

---------
It was nearly three o\' clock in the afternoon when Amber and Quatre walked though the door.
\" Hello, is anyone home,\" Amber said.
\"Ahhh!\" Kaji giggled at his aunt, from his sleeping position on Heero\'s stomach on the couch.
Heero opened his eyes and turned toward Quatre and Amber.
\" Good afternoon Heero, sleep well,\" Amber asked.
Heero smirked and nodded. Haruka then entered the room.
\"Hey, how was school?” She said taking Kaji from Heero and sitting next to him.
\" Fine, how was your day,\" Amber asked.
\"Good, and fun with Kaji!\" Haruka said, jumping Kaji on her knee, making him laugh.
\" Haruka, you really need to get out of the house, its not healthy being cooped up in here all the time,\" Amber said.
\"I know...oh Duo just called , he, Wufei and Trowa should be here any minute.
\" Heero go upstairs and get dressed before they arrive, better yet take a shower then get dressed,\" Amber said.
Haruka smiled at him, he was still clad only in his boxers.
Heero excused himself and made his way upstairs.
\"Ok now, what was this thing you said you wanted to tell me? at dinner?\" Haruka questioned Amber, giving Kaji to Quatre.
\" It can wait until dinnertime, we\'re going out tonight and somewhere really nice,\" Amber said.
\"Hey guys!\' Duo said, interrupting and quickly making his way to Kaji, making faces.
\"Hello everyone,\" Wufei said quickly.
\"......\" Trowa said.
\" Duo, could you be a nice man and watch Kaji tonight,\" Amber asked nicely.
\"Trowa, always so quiet,\" Haruka teased.
\" He needs a woman, I did tell him once he had a sexy body,\" Amber said to Haruka.
Trowa blushed.
\"Sure no sweat!\" Duo answered.
\" Good, just don\'t eat all of the food in the house,\" Amber said.
\"Anything happens to my son, your dead,\" Heero\'s deep voice said, startling everyone.
He walked over, wrapping his arms around Haruka\'s waist.
\" I will protect Kaji with my life, no need to go homicidal Heero,\" Duo said.
\"So where is this place you want to tale us to?\" Haruka asked, as Heero kissed at her neck lovingly.
\" Le Cirque, its the best French restaurant in town,\" Amber said.
\" Yes, we\'d really like you to join us tonight,\" Quatre said.
\"Fine,\" Heero answered.
\"Ok but I have no idea what to wear....I have to go look\" Haruka said.
\" Don\'t worry, you can borrow something of mine if you don\'t have anything,\" Amber said.
\"Ok\" Haruka said. \"Well I guess we should get ready then,\" Haruka said to Heero who nodded.
Haruka quickly disappeared upstairs.
\" Heero, I don\'t know what in the hell your problem is, but Haruka has been cooped up in this house for over a year she needs to go out, you\'re acting like you don\'t want her to go out and have fun,\" Amber said.
\"Its not that Amber, I’m just enjoying my alone time with her and Kaji...\" He said.
\" I know, do you want me to move out,\" Amber asked.
\"No...I\'ve already have things planed...I\'ll tell everyone at dinner tonight,\" He told her, walking upstairs.
\" I really dislike that man sometimes,\" Amber said frowning.
\"Why?\" Quatre asked.
\" He\'s a jerk, Haruka is like my sister and he\'s just up and going to move them away from me,\" Amber said.
\"Amber, Heero just wants to have a family that both he and Haruka never had I really don\'t think his attentions are to hurt you\" Quatre told her.
\" Whatever, I\'m going to my room now, see you in a little while,\" Amber said.
\" That is the moodiest woman I\'ve ever met,\" grumbled Wufei.
“ Did you see the rock on her finger, I wonder who the lucky man that she’s engaged to,” Duo asked.
“ Maxwell you idiot, that woman is engaged to Winner,” Wufei said slapping him up the side of his head.
“ Way to go Q-man, she is one hot babe are you sleeping with her,” Duo asked.
“ Shut up Duo,” Trowa said.
Quatre blushed deeply as he sighed knowing that his fiancée was angry.
-------
\"Heero what do you think of this dress?\" Haruka asked, turning around, black full satin A-line skirt with a chiffon and satin bodice, she wore simple black pumps with diamond jewelry and light amount of makeup.
\" You look beautiful,\" Heero said.
Haruka smiled and hugged him.
\" What do you think of this,\" Heero asked wearing a black tux.
\"You look very sexy and handsome” She told him.
\" Thank you,\" Heero said blushing slightly.
--------
Haruka and Heero walked downstairs where Quatre and Amber waited for them.
Quatre was wearing a black tuxedo that was very detailed shawl collar tailcoat tuxedo, Amber wore a black body hugging satin gown, the gown had a low plunging cowl neckline in front and a dramatic lower cut drape in back and finishes with fishtail & long flowing train with matching black pumps.
She wore a diamond necklace with matching earrings and bracelet and of course on her finger was her engagement ring.
She had her hair up in a French roll and had on a light layer of make up on.


\" You look very beautiful Haruka,\" Amber said.
\"Thanks you too...\" She answered.
\"Where\'s Duo and Kaji? I want to say goodnight to Kaji,\" Haruka said, looking franticly for her son.
\"Here\'s the little guy!\" Duo announced, bring Kaji to Haruka and Heero.
After 15 minutes of Haruka kissing Kaji goodbye, they were finally in the car and on the way to the restaurant.
\" You look very nice Haruka, I\'m glad you decided to join us tonight,\" Amber said.
\"Thanks, you look beautiful, I’m happy to come,\" She said, tightly holding Heero\'s hand.
\" I\'m glad,\" Amber said glaring at Heero slightly.
Heero glared back at her and kissed Haruka\'s cheek.
Quatre just sighed as he knew this was going to be a long evening.
The restaurant was in a somewhat small building out by the water as it was decorated in an old fashion French style, both couple walked in and were seated right away.
After everyone had ordered the four were sampling the wine that Quatre had requested.
\"Wow, this is so nice...\" Haruka said in awe, Heero smiled at her.
\" Well, now that we\'re here what is your big announcement Heero,\" Amber asked.
\" I believe you had something to tell Haruka first,\" Heero said.
\" Haruka, there is something that I\'ve kept from you for a long time, you see my Mother\'s maiden name was Peacecraft,\" Amber said.
\"What?...\" Haruka said in a whisper.
\" The reason my parents were killed is because the people tried to overthrow my aunt and uncle and appoint my parents as the new rulers, King and Queen Peacecraft ordered my parents and myself to be executed and our name was erased forever, I am Princess Amber Lilliana Peacecraft Naseera soon to be Winner, the jewels we stole that night were not Relena‘s they belonged to my mother,\" Amber said.
\"Oh my god...\" She gasped, unable to believe what she was hearing.
\" I\'ve kept this a secret for a long time, I was afraid you\'d hate me because I share the same blood as Milliardo and Relena, their parents think I\'m dead and I\'d like to keep it that way,\" Amber said.
Haruka couldn\'t say anything, she wasn\'t sure how to felt towards anything and everything.
Amber was related to Milliardo....her mind raised as images of Milliardo, her parents, the streets, everything...
\" I\'ll understand if you want me to move out, I think it would be best if I did since you have Heero to take care of you and Kaji now,\" Amber said.
Haruka silently stood and quickly made her way to the restrooms.
\"Well, maybe I should of gone first, at least she would be smiling,\" Heero glared.
Getting up from the table Heero made his way towards the restrooms after Haruka.
---------
\"Haruka?\" Heero called out as he walked into the ladies room, much to screams and curses.
He found her crying against a sink.
He wrapped his arms around her. \"Amber, loves you she\'s not like them,\" He told her.
\"I know....I just never thought....\" She said.
\"Lets go back out there,\" He told her, after she had composed herself.
She nodded and followed him out.
-------
Quatre grabbed a hold of Amber’s hand as he locked his hand with hers. \"Don\'t worry, she loves you, I know she will look past this,\" He told Amber, caressing her cheek with his other hand.
\" I don\'t blame her Quatre, I knew that she would react this way,\" Amber said.
\"I have to admit I’m hurt that you\'ve kept this from me, but I don\'t hate you, you\'ve taken care of me when you didn\'t have to and your my best friend no matter what this means nothing,\" Haruka said, surprising both Quatre and Amber from behind them.
\" I\'m glad, what are sisters for,\" Amber asked standing up hugging Haruka.
Haruka hugged her tightly,” I love you Amber\"
\" I love you Haruka,\" Amber said hugging Haruka back.
\"Your going to make me jealous,\" Heero teased, smirking at the giggling Quatre.
\" Don\'t be silly Heero,\" giggled Amber.
They returned to their seats and ordered their food.
\" What was your announcement tonight Heero,\" Quatre asked.
\"Yes, what is this thing a keep hearing about?\" Haruka asked curiously.
\"Well, if you would of taken I sip of your champagne, you would already know,\" Heero told her, sheepishly.
Haruka frowned and looked at her glass, there was an engagement ring in the bottom of the glass, shining at her.
\"Oh Heero...\" She said, the waiter helping to retrieve the ring.
It was a simple gold ring with a heart shaped diamond.
Tears rolled down her face.
\"Its perfect..\" She gasped, as Heero placed it on her finger.
Heero smirked as she kissed him.
\"There\'s more..\" Heero told her.
\"More...?\" She said, he nodded, as Quatre and Amber listen and watched impatiently.
\"I bought a house, for you and the baby, to move in with me after we wed,\" He told her.
Haruka\'s tears returned as she hugged him tightly.
\" Congratulations Haruka,\" Amber said hugging her looking sadly at Quatre.
\"Don\'t worry, I own houses all over the world, I’ll make sure we aren\'t far from them,\" Quatre whispered in her ear, smiling brightly at her.
\" I love you Quatre,\" Amber said hugging him tight as she started to cry.
\"I love you too\" He told her.
\" Where are you moving to Heero,\" Amber asked wiping her eyes.
\"Japan,\" Heero stated, Haruka smiled brightly.
\" Really, you\'re finally going home that\'s great,\" Quatre said.
\"Yes...finally,\" Heero said, looking meaning at Haruka.
\" You better take care of her Heero, or you\'ll get to see just how bad I am,\" Amber said.
------Few weeks later.
\" What is wrong with me,\" Haruka asked as she heaved up the contents in her stomach up in the toilet.
Not knowing what was wrong, Heero quietly walked downstairs and knocked on Amber\'s door.
*Oh my god....I’m pregnant, I’m sure of it, this is Kaji started,*Haruka thought.
\" Heero, what are you doing up at this hour,\" Amber asked wrapping a robe around her body.
\" Something is wrong with Haruka,\" Heero said motioning Amber to follow him.
\" Haruka, can I come in Heero told me you were ill,\" Amber asked.
\"Come in\" She said.
\" What are your symptoms Haruka,\" Amber asked.
\"Its really simple..\" She started.
\" You\'re pregnant aren\'t you,\" Amber asked.
\"I\'m pregnant..\" She stated, she looked up at Heero.
\"Really?\" Heero asked, smiling widely.
\" Congratulations, Heero you need to take her to the doctor to see how far along she is and that she can get prenatal vitamins,\" Amber said.
Heero nodded he was so happy he was in a daze.
\" Haruka I know you don\'t feel like eating, but eating will help get rid of the morning sickness, if that\'s all you need I\'m going back to bed I don\'t have class today,\" Amber said.
\" Thank you Amber, for everything,\" Heero said.
\" You\'re welcome,\" Amber said leaving the room and going back to bed.
\" I can\'t believe it, I\'m going to be a father again,\" Heero said grinning happily.
\"Heero, I’m tiered can you play with Kaji,\" Haruka said going upstairs.
\" Of course, if you need anything just yell,\" Heero said holding Kaji.
--------
\" Milliardo when can we make our move, we\'ve been here for weeks I want to go home,\" Relena whined.
\" Now I see the reason why Heero dumped you,\" said Milliardo.
\" He did not dump me, that whore took him away from me, he loves me Milliardo he will be mine even if I have to kill that whore,\" said Relena.
\" If you even try killing her, I\'ll kill you dear sister, Haruka is mine and I will have her even by force,\" said Milliardo.
\" Fine, when you capture her, make sure I never see her face ever again,\" said Relena coolly.
---------
\" Quatre, do you think we really need to have a big wedding,\" asked Amber.
\" Well, I thought you wanted a big wedding,\" Quatre said.
\" No, actually I don\'t, the press would hound us for weeks, I think we should elope it would be more romantic,\" Amber said happily.
\" Really, when would you want to get married,\" Quatre asked.
\" How about we get married tonight, Heero is having the others over for poker, lets tell them we\'re going out and then get married,\" Amber said.
\" You really want to get married tonight,\" Quatre asked.
\" I wouldn\'t have brought it up if I didn\'t want to,\" Amber said kissing Quatre.
\" I haven\'t even bought your wedding ring yet,\" Quatre said nervously.
\" Well, how about we go into town and pick out rings together,\" Amber said getting up from the bed.
\" Well, are you going to get up or lay in bed all day,\" Amber asked getting dressed.
Quatre got up from the bed and got dressed quickly.
\" Oh, Q-hun I almost forgot to tell you, Haruka\'s going to have another baby,\" Amber said.
\" Really, when did you find this out,\" asked Quatre.
\" Heero woke me up about 4am this morning saying that Haruka was sick, so I went up stairs and gave her a quick checkup she all ready knew she was pregnant though,\" Amber said.
\" Really, that\'s wonderful,\" Quatre said.
Amber just smiled and kissed Quatre deeply.
---------
\"Heero are you guys going to be ok? Is this all you need?\" Haruka asked Heero who laughed at her. \"What?\" She asked.
\"Haru, you\'ve made sandwiches, nachos, hot dogs and cheeseburgers, and you bought my favorite kind of beer, I\'m sure the four of us will be fine, I don\'t even think Duo could finish all this,\" Heero said, hugging her tightly from be behind while sampling a nacho.
Haruka giggled, \"Well I just want to make you guys have fun, I\'ll be upstairs with Kaji,\" She told him, turning in his arms to face him and kiss him deeply.
\" If I come home and find this house messed up, four men will be dealing with me,\" Amber said with a scowl on her face.
\"Relax, nothing will happen,\" Heero told her glaring.
\" Do you think your glare frightens me Heero, you\'ve had something against me since you\'ve arrived here, if you have a problem with me why don\'t you just say it,\" Amber said.
\"Will you two stop it already!\" Haruka barked.
\"Yes, um Amber we should go,\" Quatre said quickly.
\"Where are you two of to tonight,\" Haruka asked, holding a sleepy Kaji.
\" No, I will not leave, I want to know what he has against me,\" Amber demanded.
\"Fine, you’re annoying,\" Heero told her.
/Oh oh../ Haruka thought watching helpless along with Quatre who bit his lip.
\" Your always, around somehow watching over Haruka and acting like I’m about to harm her and Kaji, That\'s what I have against you,\" He told her, arms crossed.
\" I care about Haruka and Kaji\'s safety, for over a year I\'ve taken care of them, where were you when she needed you the most, where were you when Kaji was born, where were you when he started crawling, oh I know you weren\'t here,\" Amber said.
\"Heero!\" Haruka gasped.
\"Fuck you, you bitch,\" Heero told her coldly.
Haruka watched in horror as the two people that meant the most to her fight.
\"Please stop it, both of you,\" Haruka pleaded.
\" Get out of my house,\" Amber said.
\" Calm down Amber, please,\" begged Quatre.
\" Get the hell out of my house, get out before I throw you out on your ass,\" Amber screamed.
Heero only coldly looked at her, Haruka placed herself in between Amber and Heero.
\"Stop it please!\" Haruka yelled , getting angry.
\" Stay out of this Haruka, you\'re pregnant go sit down, this is between Heero and myself,\" Amber.
\"Whaaaaaaa!!!!\" Kaji cried, now fully awake and upset.
Heero gently took Kaji from Haruka and started to comfort him.
\" Quatre, take them upstairs,\" Amber said.
\"Its ok, shh,\" Heero told him sweetly Kaji hugged his neck tightly and started to calm down.
\"Knock, knock hey guys!\" Duo smiling face said walking threw the door.
Trowa and Wufei in tow of Duo, both smiled and nodded their greetings.
\" Get the hell out of my house,\" Amber said.
\"Eep! what the hells going on!?\" Duo said, looked wary.
\" Haruka, it might be best if we went up stairs,\" Quatre said.
\"No, I think you and Amber should go out like you planned we all need to calm down,\" Haruka said firmly.
\" I\'m not going anywhere, I want them out of my house before I get real angry,\" Amber said.
\"Amber please, Heero and I will talk later,\" Haruka pleaded with her.
\" Fine, like it will do any good, I will retire to my room now,\" Amber said going to the kitchen and getting a bottle of vodka and locking herself in her room.
\" She\'s pissed,\" Duo said.
Haruka sighed. \"I\'ll be upstairs Heero,\" She said then disappeared.
\" If it wasn\'t for Haruka and Kaji I would\'ve thrown that bastard out on his ass,\" growled Amber who was pacing.
Amber looked down at the vodka bottle on her bed, sitting down she opened it staring at the bottle.
\" Amber please unlock the door,\" Quatre asked knocking lightly.
Amber went over and unlocked the door as Quatre came in.
\" What do you want Quatre,\" asked Amber.
\" Amber, let me worry about Heero, let\'s go get married and have dinner,\" Quatre said.
\" Am I wrong for wanting to protect my best-friend and her son, if he says one more thing to me I will throw him out of this house,\" Amber said.
\" Let\'s go Quatre, we better leave before I go kick Heero\'s ass,\" Amber said grabbing her purse.
\" We\'re leaving, we\'ll be back before midnight,\" Quatre said leading Amber out the door.
\"Night,\" Heero said, without looking up from the card game.
\" What is up between you two,\" asked Duo.
\"Nothing, play,\" Heero told him.
\" Could\'ve fooled me,\" Duo said looking at his cards.
-------
A few hours later, Kaji was finally asleep.
Haruka looked at her self in her full length mirror in her room, picturing her stomach full again.
She sighed and sat on her bed, she heard the loud music and laughter from down stairs.
She smiled at the thought of Heero drunk, he was a goof ball under the influence.
She took her shoes off and laid down on the bed and closed her eyes.
\"Your so beautiful,\" She heard, just as she opened her eyes, a strong hand came over her mouth as she saw Milliardo, sitting over her, smiling wickedly at her.
He quickly gagged her and tied her hands to the polls of the bed post.
\"I\'ve missed you...\" He whispered into her ear, licking at her earlobe.
Haruka tried to scream and pull free, but there was no way anyone could hear her, with her gag, and the load music downstairs, while her bonds were tightly fit around her wrists.
Milliardo continued to lick and kiss at her neck while she cried.
\"You like this Haruka...you know it,\" He told her, as he stood and removed his shirt and pants, leaving his silk boxers on.
He kneeled on the bed between her legs.
She wore and tank top and shorts.
He took one of her legs and started to kiss along the inner thigh.
Haruka closed her eyes, she couldn\'t move, she was helpless and nothing made her so angry and disgusted with herself.
Milliardo quickly took her shorts and panties off, then ripped her tank top open.
\"I want this pretty mouth of yours...\" He told her, his face inches from hers.
\"Now if I remove this gag, will you be good?\" He asked, Haruka nodded.
He slowly removed it, she didn\'t make a sound.
He lowered his lips to hers.
She bit his lip and yelled for Heero, only to be back slapped painfully hard.
He quickly placed the gag back over her mouth.
\"You bitch,\" He spat, slapping her again.
He wasted no time removing his boxers and slamming himself into her, making her body lift from the bed and scream in pain into the gag as she cried.
Milliardo raped and beat her till he was satisfied. He stood when done, looking her over.
She had blood stains from the gag, black and blue marks on her face and body, she had blood on her thighs from his rape.
He smiled.
He quickly left from the room threw the window, and left he unconscious on the bed, still bound and gagged.
Quatre carried Amber into the house, \" how does it feel to be Mrs. Quatre Winner,\" Quatre asked.
\" Wonderful, well it looks like they had quite a party,\" Amber said seeing the four boys passed out on the floor and beer cans scattered everywhere.
\" I\'ll go make coffee, go check on Haruka and Kaji,\" Quatre said going into the kitchen.
Walking up stairs she knocked on Haruka\'s door, not hearing anything she let herself in, suddenly a scream erupted waking everyone up.
Releasing all of the bonds from Haruka, Amber grabbed a blanket and covered her up, \"are you all right Haruka, I shouldn\'t have left this is all of my fault,\" Amber cried.
\" What\'s wrong Amber, Quatre asked franticly, \" Don\'t come in here Quatre, Haruka has been raped badly, check on Kaji and wake the others up,\" Amber said.
“ All right,” Quatre said.
After examine Haruka and cleaning up her wounds and disposing of all the clothes, making sure Haruka was sleeping Amber went downstairs.
\" Is Kaji all right Quatre,\" asked Amber.
Quatre nodded.
\" I can\'t believe you Heero, I thought you told Haruka you\'d always protect her, yet you allow Milliardo Peacecraft to walk right into this house and brutally rape her,\" Amber said coldly.
\"WHAT!?\" Heero asked, completely out of it, still drunk, and couldn\'t or wasn\'t sure what she was telling him. \"What are talking about?” he demended.
\" Quatre and I came home and found Haruka tied to her bed, she\'s been beaten and raped,\" Amber said.
\"Oh my god....\" Heero said, still on his hands and knees.
Heero shakily rose to his feet.
\" Get the fuck out of my house, stay away from Haruka and Kaji, don\'t you ever come near them again she counted on you to protect her, and you let the one man she fears most just walk on in and abuse her all over again, you disgust me,\" Amber said.
\" You should\'ve told me that you couldn\'t protect her and Kaji, then I would\'ve stayed home tonight and then Haruka wouldn\'t be laying in bed unconscious with god knows what that bastard did to her, didn\'t you even think of going to check on her once, or were you too damn busy getting drunk and playing cards with your little buddies, they\'re just much at fault as you are, you were supposed to protect her and you failed,\" Amber screamed.
\" Face it Heero, you lied to her and I hope she never forgives you, she will find a better man who will keep their word protecting her and Kaji,\" Amber said coldly.
Heero had enough, his hand came like lightning against Amber\'s face, making her fall backwards.
She looked up at him glaring at the stinging pain.
Suddenly Quatre jumped on Heero, knocking him down, and repeatedly punching at Heero.
Amber was shocked at Quatre\'s outburst towards Heero.
Heero, took hold of Quatre and threw him across the room.
\"What the fuck is wrong with you!\" Heero yelled.
“ Don’t you ever lay a hand on my wife ever again, or you will be sorry,” Quatre said coldly.
Duo, Wufei and Trowa watched on, completely shocked at what was happening.
Amber quickly stood and kicked Heero directly in the face.
He fell back, cursing.
Heero stood, ready to fight Amber, when something pulled at his leg.
He looked down to find Kaji looking up at him, standing, holding his blankly in one hand and pulling on his leg with the other.
\"Kaji\" Heero said.
Kaji smiled. \"Dada!!\" He said.
\" Kaji, come to auntie,\" Amber said holding her arms out wide.
Kaji looked at her, and pulled on Heero\'s leg again,\" Dada!!\" He repeated.
\"His first word...its me...\" Heero said, having tears in his eyes.
Kaji wasn\'t sure what to do, his aunt was calling him and his father was smiling down at him talking to him.
\"Peanut...come here...\" A weak voice said.
Kaji quickly turned around and wobbled his way to Haruka that kneeled on the floor, reaching for him.
\" Haruka, you should let me talk to the hospital, you could have suffered internal injuries,\" Amber said.
Kaji, made his way to her arms.
She hugged him tightly.
Haruka said nothing, she only stayed on the floor on her knees, hugging Kaji.
\" I\'m so sorry Haruka, this is all my fault I should\'ve stayed home,\" Amber said crying.
\"I don\'t want to hear it...\"Haruka said coldly, not moving from her embrace with Kaji.
\"Haruka I’m so sorry I..\" Heero started.
\"I don\'t want to hear it from you either,\" She told him.
\" Haruka, please listen to me, you need to rest or you could have a miscarriage,\" Amber said.
Haruka picked Kaji up and took him upstairs, not saying a word to anyone.
\" I\'m going to talk to her, Quatre escort them out of my house please,\" Amber said.
Amber went upstairs and knocked on the door, \"Haruka I know you\'re mad at me, but I need to examine you,\" Amber said.
Haruka sat on the floor of her son\'s room, playing with him and his stuffed animals.
\" Haruka, get into bed and rest, I\'m not lying do you want to loose the baby inside of you,\" Amber asked.
\"Leave me alone...\" She told her.
\" No, I care about you to damn much to leave you alone, please let me help you Haruka that\'s all I want to do,\" Amber said.
\"Then let me be....\" She said, looking up at her.
\" I\'m taking Kaji with me then, I\'m not leaving until you\'re in bed resting,\" Amber said.
\"Don’t touch my son,\" Haruka told her, hugging Kaji protectively.
“ Fine, all I wanted to do is help you Haruka and you look at me like I’ve done something wrong, who do you think came up here and found you like this, certainly not the father of your son after all I’ve done for you to help you and Kaji you won’t do one thing for me, I have been really patient with you for a long time but I give up, I’m tired of your boyfriend treating me like I don’t belong here in my own home, if its anyone who failed you its Heero, I was the one who found you and took care of you tonight, out of any friend you have I was the only one who didn’t let you down, my name changed to tonight I am now Mrs. Quatre Rabera Winner, we’re leaving tomorrow morning I don’t want to leave you and Kaji but I’m not wanted here anymore good bye Haruka I will miss you,” Amber said leaving the room.
\"Congratulations,....I love you,\" Haruka said, facing the closed door.
She then laid down and Kaji laid next to her.
“ You better take care of her Heero, if you let her down again I will track you down and kick the shit out of you,” Amber said.
\"I\'m sure that she doesn\'t want to part from you Amber,\" Heero told her.
\" She made her point clear that she doesn\'t want me around anymore, she wouldn\'t let me examine her she won\'t listen to me and then she wouldn\'t let me take Kaji I give up,\" Amber said.
\"Did she actually say she wanted you to leave, I really doubt it, maybe you should stop assuming all the time and actually open your eyes,\" Heero told then disappeared upstairs.
\"Um...I think he\'s right, cause I really don\'t think he wants you around yet he\'s here stopping you,\" Duo told her.
\" I see it clearly, I\'ve finally realized that Haruka doesn\'t need me anymore, I don\'t give a damn what Heero thinks until he starts paying house payments I will say who stays and leaves,\" Amber said.
“ Where do you want to go Amber,” Quatre asked.
“ We can go live anywhere you wish,” Amber said smiling.
Quatre smiled. \"I wish to take you to Arabia...you could meet my sisters,\" Quatre said happily.
\" I can\'t believe I\'ve got 29 sister in law\'s now, of course lets go to Arabia,\" Amber said kissing Quatre.
“ Let’s go pack our things Quatre, we’ll leave in the morning,” Amber said.
Quatre and Amber excused themselves and went to their bedroom.
---------
\"Guys I think we should stick around, something tells me Heero’s going to need us,\" Duo told Trowa and Wufei.
They were in the kitchen cleaning up their mess.
\" I can\'t believe Amber just gave up that easy, she truly is a weak woman,\" Wufei said.
\"No I don\'t think that’s it, I think she realized that she and Haruka each have their own lives now...\" Trowa said.
\"I don\'t think she\'s weak at all, she took Heero\'s punch!\" Duo giggled.
\" She and Winner ran off and got married, I was for sure that woman would want to spend Quatre\'s money on a huge wedding,\" Wufei said.
\"Just goes to prove you, she\'s not a gold digging bitch, she can cook, she\'s an awesome friend and she really loves Quatre,\" Duo told him.
\"Is food all you think of?\" Trowa asked.
\" Food does my body good,\" Duo said.
Trowa smiled and shook his head.
------------
Early the next morning Amber and Quatre had their bags packed as she made breakfast for everyone.
\" What do you want to eat Q-hun,\" Amber asked.
\" I want pancakes with tons of sausage and bacon,\" Duo said happily.
\" Pancakes it is then, you look tired Trowa would you like some coffee,\" Amber asked.
\" That would be great Mrs. Winner,\" Trowa said with a snicker.
\" What\'s wrong Trowa, are you jealous,\" Amber asked serving him coffee.
\" Should I be,\" Trowa asked.
\" Of course not,\" Amber said going into the kitchen.
\" So Q-man when is the baby due,\" Duo asked grinning.
\" What are you talking about Duo,\" Quatre asked.
\" Don\'t tell me you\'re not sleeping with her, did you notice the body on her, if she wasn\'t a married woman I\'d gladly take her off your hands,\" Duo said smirking.
\" Well um Duo, that really isn\'t any of your business,\" Quatre said flustered.
\" Shut up Maxwell, what if that woman hears you,\" Wufei asked.
Fifteen minutes later Amber came out of the kitchen with a huge stack of pancakes and a plate full of Sausage and Bacon.
\" Wow, this looks great,\" Duo said digging in.

\" I can\'t believe you took Heero\'s punch last night, where did you learn to fight Amber,\" Duo asked.
\"Morning,\" Haruka said interrupting.
\" Morning Haruka, where\'s little Kaji,\" Duo asked.
\"Right here,\" Heero said, following behind Haruka with a sleepy Kaji in his arms.
\" There is breakfast in the kitchen for you and Kaji,\" Amber said.
\"Thanks it smells good,\" Heero said, walking to the kitchen.
\" Haruka, you should be in bed, or at least let me examine you before we leave,\" Amber said.
Haruka nodded. \"Are you sure you have to leave so soon?\" She asked.
\" I\'m not wanted here anymore Haruka, I think its best if Quatre and I leave, we\'re going to see his family we leave in an hour,\" Amber said.
\"You are wanted...but maybe this is best, so we can both start our families,\" Haruka told her sadly.
\" I know its going to be hard Haruka, but if you need me I\'m always a plane ride away, and if Heero screws up again there is always place for you in my home,\" Amber said.
\"Thanks,\" Haruka told her, smirking.
\"I wonder, do you think you and Heero will ever get along?\" Duo asked Amber.
\" No, and for your information I\'m not going to have a baby not for a very long time,\" Amber said.
Duo turned a deep shade of red. \"Sorry...\"
\" D-baka, you\'re such a flirt,\" Amber said laughing.
Wufei started laughing hysterically along with Amber which shocked everyone in the room.
\"Ok what did I miss?\" Heero asked, walking in the room and placing Kaji in his high chair.
\" Haruka let me give you your check up, its almost time for Quatre and I to go,\" Amber said.
\"All right\" Haruka told her.
Amber motioned for Haruka to follow her into the bedroom as she closed the door behind them.
\" Are you feeling any abdomen pain, has there been any bleeding,\" Amber asked.
“Just a little, it stopped when I took a shower, there\'s no pain\" Haruka answered her.
\" You need to take it easy for a few days, have Heero call your doctor to set up an appointment,\" Amber said.
Haruka nodded.
\" I know you\'re angry at me, Heero and I got into a fight last night after I found you, that\'s when I decided it was time for me to leave,\" Amber said.
\"I\'m not angry...I’m just tiered...that the two people I love the most can\'t even stand each other..\" Haruka told her.
\" Heero and I will never get along, he sees me more like your mother than your best friend,\" Amber said.
\"I will talk to Heero about this too, I just ask that you try, that’s all..\" Haruka looked at her pleadingly, as if in massive pain.
\" For Quatre, you and Kaji I will try and be civil to Heero,\" Amber said.
\"Thank you,\" She said, looking down at her bruised wrists.
\" You\'re welcome, are you experiencing any pain right now,\" Amber asked.
\"Just my wrists...\" She answered.
\" I\'m sorry for snapping at you last night, I was so upset when I found you that I took it out on everyone,\" Amber said.
\"It ok....I think I should go to the doctor....just in case...\" Haruka said.
\" I think you should go to the police as well, its clear both Relena and Milliardo are unstable, unfit to rule the throne,\" Amber said.
Haruka stood and walked towards the bedroom \"I\'m not sure what to do about them, I\'ll talk to Heero about it and see what he thinks,\" She said just as she opened the door, a smiling Kaji looked up at her \"Momma!\" He gleed.
Haruka smiled at her son, who clung on to her leg and turned to Amber.
\"Quatre loves you Amb, and I know you love him, marry him...you deserve this,\" She said and closed the door behind her.
\" I married him Haruka,\" Amber said.
The door still slightly opened, Haruka smiled.
\"Congratulations, now live it....be happy with him.\"
\" We will be,\" Amber said.
\" I want you to be happy too Haruka, and I want for you and Kaji to be protected,\" Amber said.
Haruka nodded and left , picking up Kaji.
------------
Haruka walked into the kitchen, finding all five men quietly talking.
\"Heero?\" Haruka said, making him turn towards her, seeing Kaji smiling in her arms.
\"We need to talk,\" Haruka told him tiered. Heero nodded and gently took Kaji from her arms.
\"Well um, we\'ll see you guys later...Haruka I hope you um...feel better\" Duo said, walking for the door with Wufei and Trowa in tow, they both nodded their goodbyes.
Heero excused himself from Quatre and followed Haruka to Kaji\'s bedroom.
After placing Kaji in his playpen, Heero turned to Haruka with a concerned face.
He took in her painful state. Her throat bruised, her wrists bruised.
Heero closed his eyes at the thought of her other injuries.
\"Haru...Let me take you to a doctor,\" He said. She nodded.
\"Later...Heero I need you to stop being suck a jerk to Amber,\" She told him.
\"Oh come on Haruka, she\'s always challenging me and starting shit with me,\" He started only for Haruka to silence him by placing her finger over his lips.
\"How do you think it makes me feel that the two people I love the most, can\'t even be in the same room as each other?\" She said, looking up at him.
Heero sighed and looked away \"I will try to shut my mouth, I’m sorry Haruka I didn\'t mean ...\" She silenced him again.
\"I know,\" She said.
She closed the distance between them and cuddled herself in his arms.
\"What are we going to do about Relena and Milliardo? I know Relena wants Kaji...I don\'t think they know I’m pregnant,\" She said in his chest.
*If I still am...* She thought, clinging tightly onto Heero\'s shirt.
\"I\'ll take care of it, but right now your weak and tiered, your body is shaking from exhaustion I\'m taking you now to the doctor,\" Heero told her, picking her up in his arms, only now did Haruka allow herself to cry.
Once downstairs, Heero looked over at Quatre.
Quatre seeing no Kaji in sight, quickly made his way up to Kaji\'s room.
----------
\" Quatre, where are you,\" asked Amber yelling threw the house.
\" I\'m in the nursery,\" Quatre said.
\"I\'m playing with Kaji,\" Quatre told her.
\" Where did everyone go,\" Amber asked giving Quatre a kiss and sitting down beside him.
\"I think Heero took her to the hospital, she was crying from what I could tell, he had her in his arms,\" Quatre told her.
\" Good, let\'s get out of the house Quatre, we need to discuss a few things and I\'d like to spoil our nephew,\" Amber said.
\"Sounds good, what do you think Kaji?\" Quatre said looking down at Kaji.
\"Toy!!\" Kaji gleed happily.
Making Amber and Quatre laugh.
Amber picked up Kaji and she and Quatre got in their car and drove into town.
It was nearly lunchtime when Quatre and Amber with Kaji returned home with tons of shopping bags.
\"There you are,\" Heero said, greeting Amber and Quatre in the living room.
Kaji ran up to Heero pulling on his pant leg, \"Toys!! Toys!!\" He repeated happily, looking back at all the bags.
\"Yeah I see that,\" Heero said, smiling a Kaji.
\" We decided to go shopping, one thing I love doing is spoiling my dear nephew, I bought everyone something too,\" Amber said.
Heero looked at Amber stunned \"You really didn\'t have to Amber...listen I’m sorry...about being an ass and all,\" Heero started uneasily.
\" Its all right Heero, I\'m more like Haruka\'s mother than her best friend sometimes, what did the doctor tell you, how is she doing,\" Amber asked.
She will be fine, she\'s resting, the doctors said there no permanent damage,” Heero told her.
\" What about the baby,\" Amber asked.
The baby\'s ok,” Heero said with a small smirk.
\" Good, Quatre and I have talked and we\'ve decided to stay for now, the house is big enough the others may stay here if they want too,\" Amber said.
Heero nodded, “ I agree.”
\" They will have to help around the house, I will not have freeloaders living here,\" Amber said.
Heero nodded.
\" Then its settled, now I\'m going to fix us some lunch, is Haruka hungry,\" Amber asked.
“ I’ll go ask her,” Heero said.
\" Here, take these to your room, I bought you some new clothes and Haruka a little something too,\" Amber said handing Heero shopping bags.
\" You\'ve been married less than 24 hours and all ready digging deep into Winner\'s pockets,\" Wufei said coming from the kitchen.
Heero sighed at Wufei\'s reply and started to make his way upstairs to Haruka.
\" You\'re pushing it Chang, I just invited the lot of you to live here, don\'t make me change my mind,\" Amber growled.
\" And just to let you know, the only thing Quatre has bought me is this ring and dinner, being royalty my parents left me an inheritance,\" Amber said going into the kitchen.
“ Winner, what in the hell is your woman talking about,” demanded Wufei.
“ My wife is a beautiful princess, you had better start treating her with respect or she’ll probably hurt you,” snickered Quatre.
Wufei just sat there stunned.
Quatre smirked at Wufei\'s stunt expression, trying his best not to laugh.
\" Quatre, I\'m going to make sandwiches and macaroni salad, you better go and keep an eye on Kaji, I can handle things from here,\" Amber said.
\"Ok,\" Quatre hugged her from behind and stole a kiss on her check and made his way to Kaji\'s room.
Amber got to work on making lunch for everyone.
Amber was getting the meat out of the fridge not hearing someone come into the kitchen.
\" Trowa, don\'t sneak up on me like that, you\'re too quiet for your own good sometimes,\" Amber said placing the meat on the counter.
\"I wasn\'t sneaking,\" Trowa told her.
\" You just scared me, Quatre\'s upstairs with Kaji,\" Amber said.
\" I didn\'t come in here to ask about Quatre, I came in here to talk with you,\" Trowa said.
“So you think I\'m out to get Quatre\'s money too, I can\'t believe this, don\'t you think I might really love Quatre,\" Amber said loudly.
\" Do you,\" Trowa asked.
\" I wouldn\'t have married him if I didn\'t,\" Amber said.
\" Then would you like to tell me about our little altercation in the tunnels, and your little stunt the day after we arrived here,\" Trowa asked.
\" Why are you asking me this Trowa, do you think I\'m some whore who likes to sleep with every man in sight, that night in the tunnels I was trying to distract you so I could get away and it worked, the morning after you were here I
was still pretty drunk and was angry, I never thought Quatre would come back for me after he found out who I really was,\" Amber said.
\"Don\'t get upset, I just wanted to know,\" Trowa told her calmly.
\" You do know who I really am don\'t you,\" Amber asked.
\"Sorry to catch you off guard with the question, it wasn\'t meant in the wrong way,\" He finished.
\"Yes I do, but its safe with me\" He told her.
\" So why did you want to talk with me anyway,\" Amber asked.
\" I just wanted to know if you and Quatre we going to be staying here for awhile, Haruka does need you here she depends on you,\" Trowa said.
\" Quatre and I will be staying until I finish medical school, and I hope you, Duo and Wufei will move in with us too, but you will help around the house I will not have any free loaders living here,\" Amber said.
Trowa smirked. \"Understood\"
\" Great, now will you help me carry out all of this food,\" Amber asked.
Trowa nodded and carried out the huge plate of sandwiches and Amber carried out the macaroni salad.
After everything was set on the table Amber told Wufei to go tell everyone lunch was ready.
All the way up the stairs Wufei cursed in Chinese rambling on about taking orders from a weak woman.
\" Such a happy home, and to think in nine months we will have another little baby in the house,\" Amber said happily.
\" Is there something you haven\'t told us Amber,\" Duo asked.
\" No, why do you ask,\" Amber said.
\"You just said that there\'s going to be a new baby in the house,\" Duo said.
\" Oh I see, you think I\'m going to have a baby, I\'m not but Haruka is,\" Amber said.
\"Again??\" Duo asked surprised, while stuffing an other sandwich in his mouth.
\" Duo, if you\'re going to be living here you will learn how to eat properly at the table, and yes Haruka and Heero are having another baby,\" Amber said.
\" Sure thing babe,\" Duo said eating more slowly.
“ Thank you Duo,” Amber said.
\"This is great,\" Trowa said, commenting on the food.
\" I\'m glad you like it Trowa, I wonder where that husband of mine is,\" said Amber.
\"I\'m right here, I had to talk to Wufei on and few things,\" Quatre said entering the kitchen
\" I see, well sit down and eat, I\'ve made enough for everyone to have seconds,\" Amber said.
\"Great,\" Quatre sat down next to Trowa and started to eat.
The rest of the day went smoothly, Trowa, Wufei and Duo moved into rooms upstairs, after dinner Heero helped Haruka into bed and came back downstairs to talk.
\" What\'s wrong Heero, is Haruka all right,\" Amber asked.
\"She sleeping.\" Heero said quietly, his fists tightly closed, the knuckles white.
\"I\'m going to kill that son of a bitch...\" He said in a eerily deep low voice.
\" Both Milliardo and Relena are unstable, but if you kill both of them there will be no heir to the Sanq Kingdom,\" Amber said.
\"Haruka\'s scared one of then is going to take Kaji...\" Heero told them.
\" What\'s your plan Heero,\" Trowa asked.
\" To eliminate Milliardo and Relena Peacecraft,\" Heero said coldly.
\" You can count me in,\" Duo said.
Trowa nodded his affirmation.
\" You can count me in as well Yuy,\" Wufei said.
“ Quatre and I are in too,” Amber said.
Heero nodded.
Throughout to night then made an accurate plan.
\" You know if we do this I will have to come out of hiding,\" Amber said to Heero.
\" I know, that\'s one reason why we\'re doing this,\" Heero said.
\" All right, everyone knows what to do,\" Amber said standing up.
\"And remember, no one tells Haruka\" Heero said.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
\" I\'m going to bed, are you coming Quatre,\" Amber asked.
Quatre nodded and excused himself from the others and followed Amber to their bedroom.
\" Are you sure that woman can handle this Yuy,\" Wufei asked.
Heero nodded. \"Yes\"
\" Then I will not question you again Yuy, I trust your judgment,\" said Wufei going to his bedroom.
\" What are you guys hiding from me, I know you know something I don\'t what is it,\" Duo asked.
Heero and Trowa just stood there not saying a word.
\" Fine, I\'ll just go to bed,\" Duo said running out of the room.
Heero and Trowa both nodded and went their bedrooms.
At 6pm the next evening Haruka was in bed sleeping, from a mild sleeping pill put in her drink given to her by Amber.
\" Is everyone ready to go,\" Heero asked everyone who was present in the living room.
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
\" Let\'s go,\" Heero said walking out the door as everyone followed behind him.
\" Good Evening Mr. and Mrs. Winner,\" said the pilot.
\" Good evening Abdul, are we ready for take off,\" Quatre asked.
The rest of the seven found their seats while Quatre talked to the pilot. Entertaining him as the rest relaxed in their chairs.
Amber took her seat and Quatre then followed. Trowa and Wu Fei stared out the windows.
Heero looked at them and then to Amber who was staring at her bag.
She looked up as Heero interrupted her thoughts with caution.

\"Don’t tell me you’re not going to go through with this..\" Heero asked
\" How dare you question me, I\'m going to do this for Haruka and Kaji, she doesn\'t deserve looking over her shoulder for the rest of her life, this is something I should\'ve done myself a long time ago,\" Amber said.
\"Good. I was a bit worried there for a second. I don\'t want to have to do this on my own,\" Heero replied.
\" When I do this, you understand that I can\'t take my place as Queen of the Sanq Kingdom don\'t you,\" Amber said.
\"I..\"Heero said being interrupted by Duo.

\"Hey you two cool it, don\'t start having doubts this early, it\'s not like they have the entire Sanq Kingdom Guard waiting for us.\" Duo said jokingly.
\" Heero and I are just talking, we\'re not going to start fighting again,\" Amber said calmly.
\"Ok,\" Duo said looking out the window bored.

\"All right, now you remember the drill, right Amber, soon as Milliardo and Relena arrive you and I finish the job form there,\" said Heero leaning toward Amber.
\" I know what to do, I better go change, I\'ll be back in a bit do you want me to take Kaji,\" Amber asked.
\" Yes, I need to talk to the guys alone for a few minutes,\" Heero said.
\" Don\'t doubt me Heero, I am a trained assassin I just haven\'t killed anyone before,\" Amber,\" said picking up her bag then Kaji and going to the bedroom.
\" Are you sure she isn\'t pregnant Quatre, your wife is the moodiest woman I\'ve ever been around,\" Wufei said.
\" Leave her alone Wufei, if you upset her you\'ll deal with me,\" Quatre said coldly.
Thirty minutes later Amber came out of the bedroom holding Kaji, \" how do I look,\" Amber asked.
Everyone was just too stunned to say anything.
\" You look hot Amber, vinyl really suits your body well,\" Duo said slightly drooling.
Quatre could barely contain himself at seeing what his wife was wearing.
\" Quatre, honey what\'s wrong, do you not like me wearing outfits like this,\" Amber asked handing Kaji to Heero and sitting down beside her husband.
\" I can\'t believe how much you look like Haruka, the resemblance is uncanny,\" Quatre said.
\" Don\'t worry Quatre, I\'m going to be all right if I get injured, I\'ll have you to nurse me back to health,\" Amber said giving him a kiss.
The plane landed 45 minutes later as Amber and Heero along with Kaji got in a silver jaguar and took off into the desert.
The female and male figures skulked around inside the car reading arms of a deadly sort.
The female, Amber exited her new silver sleek Jaguar.
She leaned up against the passenger side window as the brown haired male sat up from the vehicle and hid his gun in his back pocket, concealing it with his green folded shirt.
Heero turned and looked around raising his arm to look at his technological watch.
He turned to Amber who was wearing a funny red wig.
The disguise Amber was taking on was almost uncanny.
She looked exactly like Haruka, except she wore a black vinyl cat suit that fit at the ankle and wrists with black gloves and knee high black boots to that red wig.

Heero gazed to the main road that they had traveled.
Amber opened the passenger door, sliding the front seat forward and talked to Kaji as Heero waited.
The dust flew in the air as the red Mustang came closer and closer.
Heero saw the dust cloud and dropped his arms to his sides.
His almost blank stare was gone and was replaced by a small smile.
He was ready.
The red car came to a stop and the bright luminescent headlights turned off.
Engine stopped as the passenger door opened.
The driver side door stayed shut. Milliardo was driving...

*Did he know something was up?* Thought Heero to himself.
\"Heero!\" Yelled Relena out loud.
\"Hey, you feeling all right?\" Heero asked smiling at her.
\"Yes, Is Kaji here?\" Relena asked kissing Heero on the cheek.
\"In the car, oh and you might like the entertainment I have arranged,\" Heero said smirking at Relena.
\"Oh, what is it?\" Relena asked curiously, leaning in to Heero who turned his back to her just then.
Haruka slowly walked out of the car.
She came closer as Relena looked down to the person grabbing at her.
Haruka walked toward the Mustang pushing back the curvy red bangs.
Amber looked up and made eye contact with Heero as he shook is head.
She nodded toward him in return as the driver\'s side door of the red car finally opened. But what happened was not planned...

\"Milliardo!!\" Amber yelled in Haruka\'s voice.

\"Miss me?\" let\'s just say...I couldn\'t wait to see you, Or. What\'s going to be left of you!\" Milliardo charged as his stroll became a rush of thrusting human mass.

Milliardo body checked Amber right into the solid dirt.
Dust was kicked up from the tumble and small cracks formed under their bodies.
Dirt flung into the air as fists could be heard hitting bone and meat.
Heero cringed as Relena took joy in the beating.
She smiled with a sadistic glee in the pain who she thought Haruka was receiving.
Kaji was being hugged by her while he did not hear the scuffle.
The fight raged on in the cloud of dirt.
The two bodies fought on but there was no clear victor.
Relena looked at Heero and laughed putting Kaji into the car ordering him to lay down for a moment.

\"This was a great gift, I can\'t believe it, that slut finally gets what she deserves,\" cackled Relena with insanity in her voice.

\"Yea..Oh and by the way...\" Heero turned putting his hand behind his back slowly.

Heero\'s hair ruffled in the wind as the dark sky curled overhead.
No one was near by and no one could hear the screams that followed.
Not a thing could taste the blood on the ground...Except the buzzards eye above.
The winged angels of death, the scavengers of the skies, scouring their next meal at every turn and curve in the air.
The black midnight chill reached Relena as Heero said good bye in a quiet non-emotional tone.

Amber was being brutalized, her hair was almost torn, well the wig anyway.
The wig close to coming off was becoming awkward but still clung to her skull.
She fought back as hard as she could, hitting Milliardo\'s face in several spots.
His nose, his chin, his cheeks, even his eyes and forehead.
She hit his ear once and he yelled, but then he only beat her harder, more fiercer, showing no mercy what so ever.

Next came the sadism he looked forward too, he began cussing and maiming her.
He still thought she was Haruka, he hadn\'t seen through the guise! It was so dark and it was hard to tell, but her uncanny resemblance and similar voice was so hard to tell even Heero; the perfect soldier had a hard time seeing the truth.
His hits and punches became harder and harder with every throw of his fists.
A blur is all she saw now, her nose was busted and her mouth bloody.
She coughed up blood when his head hit her chest.
Surely he was not going to head butt her.

But then he stopped, her hearing was off and was she was dazed, ever so to the point of not able to hear very well.
She looked up her vision slowly coming back when she saw Heero standing above her.
The pistol was smoking.
Amber looked down to Milliardo\'s head and body.
She kicked him off and stood up slowly, disorientated from the blows that never seemed to cease.
His aggression only greeting hotter and hotter, opening the bowels of hell and swallowing her instead of him into those depths of hatred.
He lay motionless on the earthen sand and dirt with the wind blowing his white hair over his dead face.

The bullet wound up, shot clear through his large chest, Milliardo Peacecraft was dead.
She looked around holding her head in pain seeing another body lying next to the car.
A blanket was shrouded over the bloody body.
Heero must of shot Relena right in the head.
But why didn\'t she see it coming?
Amber turned and tried to gain her equilibrium.
She staggered some and almost fell to the ground as Heero was saying some words. She couldn\'t hear him but she tried to read his lips.
\"Bodies move?\"
Heero was now in the silver Jaguar as Amber slowly collided to the ground to her knees.
Taking deep breathes gaining her wind back while Heero picked up his cell phone and called the cavalry.

She gasped for air when she saw something she didn\'t think could happen.
The plan had already gone wrong, Milliardo wasn\'t supposed to do that.
But he wasn\'t supposed to get up either...his body trembled.
Heero\'s back was turned whilst calling for the other five to help clean up.
They\'d arrive shortly, Amber tried to block out what was happening but she opened her eyes to see it was true.
Milliardo came too and crawled to her and easily shoved her back to the hard desert floor.
He slowly tried beating her damning her and coughing blood onto her black leathery skin tight outfit.
She pulled herself backward gaining momentum to shove the dying man off her.
Pushing him off she gasped for some air but as he fell grabbing the wig.
She smiled coldly letting him have it.
The crimson wig slid off and then he saw who he was really beating.
\" Did you really think that I would let you near Haruka after what you did to her, you\'re whole family has brought shame upon the house of Peacecraft, may all of you burn in hell for sins,\" Amber spat.
\" Who, Who, are you really,\" choked out a dying Milliardo.
\" Amber Lilliana Peacecraft Naseera Winner, daughter of Elizabeth and Antar Naseera, the true Queen and King of the Sanq Kingdom,\" Amber spat.
\" You\'re alive, how is that possible,\" choked Milliardo.
\" My parents locked me in a secret room the day they were murdered, I will make sure justice is served and my parents death\'s will be avenged, face it your line dies today,\" Amber said coldly as Milliardo Prince of the Sanq Kingdom was dead.
Heero turned closing the phone and throwing it in the back seat when he saw the scene.
Amber brushed herself off slowly almost as if she was lifting off so much stress in this triumphant kill.
Heero came close to her still staring at the body that remained still.
A small pool of blood pour from the corpse\'s mouth.

\"Duo has another blanket, tarp actually better to hold them both, Kaji is in the car...He didn\'t see anything,\" said Heero.

\"Did he hear any of it?...\" Asked Amber quietly.

\"No, I had the radio playing.\" Heero responded.
\"Good...\" Said Amber.
Two hours later they were in the air flying back home.
\" Good Morning Haruka, how are you feeling,\" Amber asked sitting beside her on the bed.
\"Morning\" Haruka answered
\" I want you to rest Haruka, I will take care of everything in the house while you\'re recovering, and I\'ve got five men to order around,\" Amber said.
\"You be enjoying this then,\" Haruka said, smirking.
\" Of course, my darling husband all ready put the Barbarian in his place,\" Amber said snickering.
\"And is that Wufei you speak of, I’m guessing?\" Haruka questioned.
\" Yes, that man is so rude I want to slap him sometimes,\" Amber said cracking her knuckles.
Haruka laughed.
Haruka sat up in her bed and eyed Amber suspiciously.
\" What is it Haruka, why are you looking at me that way,\" Amber asked.
\"So? did you kill her fast or slowly?\" Haruka asked her, catching Amber off guard.
\"I take it Heero killed Milliardo then...\" Haruka said sadly.
\" What are you talking about Haruka, have you gone mad,\" Amber asked.
\"I\'d appreciate it is you didn\'t act like I’m stupid, the news are very effective at times,\" Haruka told her sternly.
\"Yes, Heero and I killed them, there was no other way we did it to protect you and Kaji, I will burn in hell for this I know but I did it to save you,\" Amber said fidgeting badly.
Haruka nodded. \"Swear to me you won\'t kill again...knowing the risk of the feds catching you would kill me...and Heero as well,” Haruka told her with pleading eyes.
\" I have no reason to kill again Haruka, you\'re safe now that\'s what matters,\" Amber said.
Haruka hugged Amber tightly and then laid back down to rest. \"Thank you*
\" You\'re welcome Ruka, you just rest now and I\'ll have Heero bring you breakfast, and don\'t worry Quatre and I will look after Kaji,\" Amber said kissing Haruka\'s forehead.
Haruka grabbed Ambers wrist before she turned away. \"I want to see Kaji\" She told her.
\" Of course, I\'ll have Duo bring him upstairs right away,\" Amber said leaving the room.
\"Thanks,\" She said, letting go of Amber\'s wrist.
\" Duo, take Kaji upstairs, Haruka would like to see him, Q-hun what would you like for breakfast,\" Amber asked giving him a kiss.
\" Anything is fine babe,\" Quatre said smiling.
\" Okay, which one of you would like to help me in the kitchen,\" Amber asked with a smug look on her face.
\"Um...I\'ll help if you want,\" Trowa volunteered.
\" Thank you Trowa,\" Amber said.
-----------
\" Knock Knock,\" Duo said walking into Haruka\'s bedroom.
\"Hey Duo\" Haruka said, sitting up in her bed.
\" I brought someone to see you,\" Duo said sitting Kaji on the bed.
\"Mama!\" Kaji gleed into Haruka\'s arms.
\" He\'s a very good kid, must take after his mommy,\" Duo said.
\"I heard that\" Heero said, surprising all three, as he entered the room.
\" That\'s my cue, later Haruka,\" Duo said bouncing out of the room.
\"Hey,\" Heero said quietly, sitting himself down on the bed next to Haruka.
\"Hey\" Haruka answered.
\"How are you feeling?\" Heero asked, caressing her face with his hand.
\"Heero....why?\" Haruka asked. Heero\'s small smile disappeared as he looked away.
\"I couldn\'t kept having the risk of loosing you or Kaji in any way, I already messed up, I wasn\'t about to let that...\" Heero stop at his words as he looked at Kaji looking up at him, giving him all his attention. \"....that....man.. hurt you again..\" Heero finished.
\"Are you angry with me?\" Heero asked her.
\"No...I just don\'t want to loose you\" Haruka told him, Heero stood and kissed her briefly.
\"Do you want me to take Kaji?\" Heero asked, as Kaji buried himself under the covers next to Haruka, letting only his head show, smiling up at Heero.
Haruka smiled. \"No, its time for his nap anyway\" She told him. Heero nodded and left the room.
Haruka settled into bed with her arms around a now sleepy and yawning Kaji.
------
After breakfast was over and the table was cleared, Duo and Wufei offered to wash the dishes, Amber and Quatre went to the bedroom to talk.
\" Are you mad at me Quatre, I\'d understand if you didn\'t want to be married to a killer anymore, everyone thinks I married you for your money anyway,\" Amber said.
\"Amber, I really hate when you talk like that, I love you, no matter what you do or say,\" Quatre told her sincerely.
\" I\'m sorry Quatre, I don\'t know what I\'m going to do now that Relena and Milliardo are dead there is no heir to the Sanq Kingdom, I was third in line for the throne, I am afraid that King and Queen Peacecraft might know I am still alive, I don\'t want to rule my parents were murdered because of it I don\'t want that to happen to us,\" Amber said in a frightened tone.
Quatre hugged her tightly. \"I will never ever let anything happen to you as long as I breathe,\" Quatre told her sternly.
\" You promise Quatre,\" Amber asked.
\"I swear,\" He told her, looking at her in her eyes.
\" Good, there is something else I\'d like discuss with you,\" Amber said.
\"Anything,\"Quatre said.
\" Children,\" Amber said.
Quatre smiled.
\" I know you want to have kids right away, but I would like to wait a couple of years, I want to spend time with you and maybe we could do some traveling, maybe go steal some art,\" Amber said.
“ If art is what you want Amber I’ll buy any painting you want,” Quatre said.
“ If I wanted to buy art I would, I don\'t want you spending your trillions on me, I can take care of myself financially just fine, I love you Quatre but I won\'t let you clip my wings,\" Amber said.
\" I just want you to be safe Amber, I never cared what anyone thought when I asked you to marry me, did I ask you to give me heirs right away, no I didn\'t all I asked was for you to stop being a thief,\" Quatre said.
\" I never gave you an answer either, Heero may be able to bend Haruka\'s will but I won\'t let anyone control me, who knows maybe I\'ll become a tomb raider there really isn\'t anything I\'d like to steal yet,\" Amber said.
\" Why are you acting like this Amber, do you really think I\'d force you into anything,\" Quatre asked.
\" I don\'t know, would you,\" Amber asked.
\" How could you even ask me that, you\'re my wife I\'d never bring harm to you,\" Quatre said embracing her as he kissed her deeply.
\" Ouch, not so tight honey, I\'m still really sore from last night, to be blunt I got the shit kicked out of me,\" Amber said in a hurt tone.
\" You shouldn\'t have went up against him alone, you could\'ve been seriously hurt,\" Quatre said with anger.
\" I\'m fine Quatre, I will not stand for you fussing over me like this, I\'m fine just a few bumps and bruises,\" Amber said waving him off.
\"A few bumps and bruises? Your nose is broken and you have a bruised jaw and ribs,\" Quatre said sternly.
\"Heero just...I can\'t believe he didn\'t even help you somehow...\" Quatre said, obviously angered and frustrated.
\" I\'m fine Quatre, I\'ll admit that I\'m sore but I will be all right,\" Amber said.
\"Fine, just rest,\" Quatre said, gently helping Amber to lay back again the stack of soft pillows.
\" I\'ll rest for a little while, then I\'m getting up and making lunch,\" Amber said.
\"No you’re not, its your turn to rest Amber,\" A voice said coming from the door.
\"I won\'t allow 5 men to destroy my house, I haven\'t paid up the insurance in the last month,\" Amber said.
\"Oh stop it Amber, rest, don\'t worry about the house,\" Haruka told her.
\" If anyone should be in bed, its you Haruka if I\'m going to be condemned to my room then you\'re going to stay in here with me,\" Amber said growling.
Amber stop your ordering and will you just submit already, I\'m fine, now you rest and that\'s it!\" Haruka said, smiling and closing the door quickly before Amber to object once more.
\" I\'ll have you know Amber Winner never submits to anyone or anything,\" Amber said throwing a pillow at the door.
---------
Five months had passed since Milliardo and Relena\'s deaths, everyone in the house was starting to put those days behind them, Haruka was five months pregnant and was glowing in her second trimester.
Everyone was seated at the breakfast table talking when the food was brought out of the kitchen.
\" Everyone dig in, I hope you like the biscuits, I made them from scratch,\" Amber said with a smile.
Suddenly Amber got up from the table feeling a wave of nausea wash over her, running to the nearest bathroom as the sounds of vomiting were heard.
Ten minutes later Amber came out of the bathroom, \'\' sorry about that, I guess something didn\'t agree with me,\" slurred Amber as she fainted falling to the floor.
“ Amber, are you all right,” Quatre said rushing right to her side lifting her up and carrying her into their bedroom.
“ I knew it, that woman is pregnant,” Wufei said going back to eating his breakfast.
Using smelling salts Amber woke up and saw Quatre sitting beside her.
\" Quatre, can you explain to me why I am in our room,\" Amber asked trying to sit up.
\" Don\'t you remember, we were eating breakfast and you ran into the bathroom and vomited then you came back out and fainted,\" Quatre said holding her hand.
\" Oh no, I couldn\'t be,\" Amber said.
\"Oh yes you are,\" Haruka said, smiling from the doorway.
\" Its not possible, I\'m on the pill,\" Amber said.
\"Still,\" Haruka said.
\" I can\'t believe this, I can\'t have a baby, I\'ve still got two years of medical school left, I can\'t believe you did this to me Quatre, you did something to my birth control didn\'t you,\" Amber screamed.
\" Don\'t you remember Amber, you took some prescribed painkillers for your fractured ribs, it must have interfered with your birth control,\" Haruka said.
Haruka smiled and caressed her swollen stomach. \"More babies in the house,\" She gleed.
\" That\'s just great, I\'m going to be a mother I guess we\'re going to need a bigger house,\" Amber said holding her head in her hands.
\"Nah, remember, Heero and I are moving soon, you should keep this house, you love this house,\" Haruka told her.
\" You are not going to leave me alone in the house with four men, I beg of you to stay a few extra months, I\'ll even give you all of my money if you\'ll just stay,\" Amber said in a begging tone.
\" How much,\" asked a gruff voice.
\" Three Million Dollars, I was planning on giving Haruka half of my assets anyway, I was planning on going to Europe to see my dear ole aunt and uncle and retrieve my parents things,\" Amber said.
Haruka stayed stunt from Amber\'s words.
\"Amber your not serious, that’s your money, we\'ll stay for a while longer,\" Haruka said.
\" You deserve it Haruka, think of it as a wedding present I\'ve set up a college fund for Kaji and any other child you have,\" Amber said.
\"We will, but not more then 6 months, I have a job already waiting for me in Japan,\" Heero announced.
Heero\'s jaw flexed from annoyance.
\"Oh my god....I don\'t know what to say...\" Haruka said.
Heero suddenly left and disappeared in the hallway.
\"Heero?\" Haruka called, but received no reply.
\" I only want the best for my family, we\'ve taken care of one another for so long, I want to pay you back for your guidance and friendship,\" Amber said.
Haruka smiled, but Heero\'s sudden actions bothered her greatly.
\" I\'m going to speak with Heero, I know what\'s wrong with him,\" Amber said getting up and leaving the room.
\"No! Amber don\'t,\" Haruka said quickly.
\"Please, let me talk to him...he\'s really angry,\" Haruka pleaded.
\" He\'s upset that I\'ve given you money, I don\'t understand why he just doesn\'t understand anything I do, I\'ve planned on giving you half of everything I own for a long time, half of my money half of my mothers jewelry, half of everything we\'ve ever stolen, I want you to be financially secure, so you don\'t have to ever worry about money ever, why can\'t he understand that, why is everything I do so wrong to him,\" Amber said starting to cry.
\"Its not that Amber, its just he wants to be the one to take care of me and Kaji and the baby, he wants to feel important and need, but by you giving us money which is very generous and very thankful for, he\'s pride gets hurt,\" Haruka said.
\" He\'s given you one thing I couldn\'t, love and compassion and beautiful children,\" Amber said.
\"You shouldn\'t of said so in front of him...maybe a gift between just you and I...you know?\" Haruka said, hugging Amber.
\"Still, Its not enough for him, Heero never had a family either...\" Haruka said.
\" He would\'ve found out eventually, I\'m glad you\'ve found someone to share your life with, I respect Heero he\'s a good man but he and I just have our moments, just take the money do whatever you want with it,\" Amber said.
Haruka sighed as Amber closed the door.
“ Why Quatre, why is everything I do to help Haruka so wrong, I am so afraid I’m going to be a mother what if I mess up what if something is wrong with the baby, I’ve been taking birth control even though I knew that I was late,” Amber said bursting into tears again.
“ Don’t worry Amber, we will get threw this together I promise,” Quatre said as he embraced Amber.
“ I’m so sorry that I accused you of getting me pregnant on purpose, I didn’t mean to scream at you I’m just shocked to be blunt, but there are some important things I need to do before this child is born, I must return to Europe and settle things with my Aunt and Uncle, I want to finally put my parents to rest properly,” Amber said.
\" Amber, you can\'t go to Europe its too dangerous, now that you\'re my wife the press will hound you day and night, I don\'t want anything happening to you or our baby,\" Quatre said.
\" Damnit Quatre, my parents deserve to finally be laid to rest, I just want was taken from me back,\" Amber said.
-------------
\"Heero?\" Haruka called entering their bedroom.
Heero was unpacking some of the things he had started to pack for their move.
\"Hn?\" He answered.
Haruka sighed and walked over to him.
\"Please don\'t be angry....she\'s just trying to help...\" She told him.
Heero turned abruptly towards her.
\"Doesn\'t she get that I’m the one that suppose to provide everything for you and our family? I\'m your husband not her,\" Heero coldly said.
\"Why do you always have to put your pride on things?\" Haruka asked.
\"Why does she find a need to step on it?\" He said.
\"I find a good job so I can take care of you and go back to Japan, and what does she do? Give you 3 fucking million dollars. If all you wanted was money you shouldn\'t of married me\" Heero spat. Haruka slapped him, tears rolling down her face at his words.
\"How dare you...\" she whispered.
\"She\'s like Relena, she\'s nosy and wants to pay for everything that doesn\'t belong to her,\" Heero said, looking at her coldly, flexing his jaw from the sting of her slap.
\'Heero if it wasn\'t for her, Kaji wouldn\'t of been born in a good hospital, she took care of me and Kaji before you knew he was even born\" Haruka told him.
\" She has been commended for taking care of you and Kaji, but its my turn now to provide for our family you don\'t need her money,\" Heero said.
\"Heero stop being a baby, I won\'t take the money, but grow up!\" Haruka said, storming out of the bedroom.
\" Women\" Heero grumbled flopping down on the bed.
--------
Amber stormed out of the room after Quatre had told her that she couldn\'t go back to Europe, walking into the kitchen she started taking out things from the fridge and started preparing dinner.
\" First he knocks me up and now he won\'t let me confront my past, I can\'t stand being told what to do,\" grumbled Amber as she chopped up vegetables.
\" Its true, you\'re really going to have a baby,\" said a voice behind Amber.
\" Unfourtunely, why did you come in here anyway, why do you always want to talk when I\'m alone,\" Amber asked.
\"Its easier for me, I’m not a crowd person\" Trowa told her.
\" Understandable, is there something you want to discuss,\" Amber asked.
“ Why aren’t you happy that you’re going to have a baby, you’re going to break Quatre’s heart if you’re angry about being pregnant,” Trowa said.
“ Look at me Trowa, do you think I’m fit to be a parent, I just can’t deal with having a baby right now I’ve got so many things to do in my life now a baby is just going to make it harder,” Amber said.
“ You should let Quatre take care of you Amber, that’s all he’s ever wanted to do since he met you is take care of you and give you whatever your hearts desire, there is plenty of time for you to finish medical school you’re only 23,” Trowa said.
“ Why do you care about Quatre so much anyway, from the way I’ve seen you look at him I’d think that you’re in love with him,” Amber said.
\" No, I\'m not in love with Quatre, why would you even think that,\" asked Trowa.
“ Oh come on Trowa, you’re always coming in here talking to me after Quatre and I have fought, either you’re in love with him or you’re in love with me,” Amber said getting spices from the rack.
\" Even if I was in love with you or Quatre there isn‘t anything I could do about it, maybe you should see a doctor I think you‘re being paranoid,\" Trowa said coolly.
\" I am not paranoid, I’m angry at my husband for getting me pregnant and then that asshole Heero Yuy for thinking everything I do is so wrong, if I wasn’t pregnant I’d go and knock some since into that man, I was going to give Haruka half of my assets long before she met him, get the hell out of my kitchen Barton,” screamed Amber throwing a knife at him.
Trowa dodged the knife as he fled the kitchen.
------
Haruka knocked on Amber and Quatre’s bedroom door.
\" Come in,\" Quatre said.
\"Quatre, can I talk to you for a minute?\" asked Haruka walking in closing the door behind her.
\" Of course, come in and have a seat,\" Quatre said.
Haruka sat down and faced Quatre, with a serious face.
\"Quatre, you need to let Amber have closure on her past, if you don\'t she will never let it go and it will destroy your marriage,” Haruka said.
\" I know, but I don\'t want her going off to Europe its dangerous,\" Quatre said.
\"Go with her Quatre, she needs to do this, and you have to let her,\" She told him.
\" But she\'s pregnant, what if something happens to her,\" Quatre said.
\"Then you\'ll be there\" She said.
\"She needs this Quatre, or she won\'t be able to move on and she won\'t be able to love you and your child fully...\" Haruka said standing up to leave.
\" You\'re right, thank you Haruka I know what I need to do now,\" Quatre said standing up.
----------
\" Wufei, I\'m only going to ask you once, go tell everyone that dinner is ready and if they\'re not hungry they won\'t get anything to eat until morning,\" Amber said in a snappy voice.
\"Don\'t order me around woman!\" Wufei barked.
\" Don\'t push me Wufei, or so help me I\'ll make sure you sleep outside tonight,\" Amber said in a threatening tone.
Wufei only glared at her and left the room.
Minutes later everyone took their seats at the table as everyone filled their plates with the assortment that was on the table.
\" Trowa, Duo you have dish duty tonight, Heero you are to clean the kitchen, Wufei I want the lawn mowed by noon tomorrow, Quatre you are to do the shopping,\" Amber said taking her seat.
\" Woman, you have a lot of nerve barking out orders at us, you should know a woman\'s place is in the kitchen,\" said Wufei.
Haruka rolled her. /Here we go? she thought.
\" Just do as I say Damnit, I think Quatre wouldn\'t like it if his pregnant wife was out there in the hot sun mowing the yard,\" Amber said in a dramatic voice.
\" You better do as she says Wu-man, she is letting us stay here for free remember,\" Duo said.
Wufei quietly growled to himself.
\" If anyone else has any complaints say them now,\" Amber said.
\" Congratulations Amber and Quatre,\" Trowa said smiling.
\" Thank you Trowa,\" Quatre said happily.
Duo who was sitting beside Quatre slapped him on the back, \" way to go Q,\" laughed Duo.
Haruka smiled, but kept quiet, watching Heero eat silently with his eyes closed from the corner of her eye.
\" Well, if that\'s all everyone is going to do, I\'ll retire now goodnight,\" Amber said getting up from the table and leaving.
The rest of the other each retired to their room or chores, leaving Haruka at the table.
\" How are you feeling Haruka, I\'m sorry for the friction between our spouses, they really should settle their differences,\" Quatre said.
\" You\'re right, they should settle there differences, but you and I both know how they would do that by using their fists,\" Haruka said sipping her tea.
\" I really don\'t think they can hold out for nine months to settle it that way,\" Quatre said.
Haruka sighed and looked up at Quatre in the saddest way. \" I love them both so much...I feel like I should just leave on my own with Kaji and the baby...\"
\" Don\'t do that Haruka, that would make it even worse maybe we should lock them in a room and make them talk it out, something is bothering Amber, Trowa told me she threw a knife at him this afternoon, we need to fix this or someone
is going to get hurt,\" Quatre said.
\"Momma?\'\' A sleepy Kaji said, walking into the room, with his blankly dragging on the floor.
\" I guess all the noise woke him up, poor kid,\" Quatre said.
Haruka smiled and picked Kaji up. \"Lets put you back to bed peanut*
Haruka lifted Kaji up and carried him upstairs and tucked him back into bed.
After the chores were completed everyone retired to their bedrooms for the night.
__________
Everyone was up with the sun the next morning as they quietly left the house leaving two people behind who were still fast asleep in their rooms.
Heero was sitting at the table, feet resting on it while he read the news paper.
\" Get your feet off my table, I will not tolerate such horrible manners in my house,\" said Amber standing in the dining room walkway.
Heero didn\'t even blink and stayed as he was.
Amber stomped over to where Heero was sitting and pushed his chair over sending him to the floor.
\" That will teach you not to obey the rules of this household,\" Amber said standing arms folded across her chest.
Heero turned around and threw the chair at Amber.\" Pregnant or not, fuck you\"
\" Please, you couldn\'t handle me in your wildest dreams, I dare you to strike me, come on I\'ll even give you a free shot,\" Amber said.
Heero started to laugh, last time I checked you were the wounded one, so do your self and your baby a favor, stop trying to be a man and act like a woman, instead of thinking your so tuff, you wonder why men don\'t even look at you,\"
Heero told her coldly, walking out to the backyard.
\" Why would I want some man looking at me when I have a husband, you may think you\'re some perfect father but you\'re not, you basically dismissed Haruka, or have you forgotten that day, I tried to get her to stay but you broke her
heart, if it was me I would\'ve never let you back into my life I would\'ve made sure that you stayed away from her, I\'m rich you know,\" Amber said.
\"Oh well excuse me miss I\'m rich, do you understand that no matter what you would ever do, I will never ever, let Haruka go, got that, miss money?\" Heero said eerily.
\" I wouldn\'t expect you to let her go after she\'s had two of your children, they\'re what you can use against her,\" Amber said.
Heero flew at her grabbing her by the throat, \"How dare you....You’re just a fucking bitch with her money too high up her ass to see anything, I love Haruka and our children, but I love her more then anything, if I have to kill you,
I will,\" he told her throwing her to the floor and leaving the house, jumping into his car and left.
\" Kill me then, at least I\'d be with my parents,\" Amber said smiling.
Amber tried getting up but she stumbled hitting her head on the coffee table, blacking out as blood started to pool around her head.
Almost an hour later Heero decided to return to the house and wait for Haruka\'s return.
As he entered the house he spotted Amber unconscious on the floor.
\"Fuck,\" he mumbled to himself, walking over to her.
Heero carefully picker her up placing her on the sofa, quickly noticing her head was bleeding.
He quickly examined her, the tiny cut was nothing major, he cleaned it, but she wasn\'t waking up.
He remembered Quatre pestering her about taking her pills....Anemic...He reached for her pills, got a glass of water and sat her up.
\"Amber wake up,\" Heero said, shaking her slightly.
\" Kill me Heero, give me my peace,” Amber said who mumbling in and out of unconscious.
\"Take this,\" He said putting the pills in her mouth and putting the glass of water to her lips.
Amber awoke to the feel of water against her mouth seeing Heero trying to force something into her mouth.
“ What happened to me, the last thing I remember is you knocking me to the floor,” Amber said.
\"I think you bumped your head on the table,\" Heero told her getting up
\" Yes, I must have seeing there is blood on the table and on the carpet,\" Amber said.
Heero returned with a rag and started to clean up the blood.
\" Don\'t worry about it Heero, I\'ll just call someone to come clean the carpet,\" said Amber.
By the time she had said so, Heero was already done cleaning the carpet.
“ Thank you for cleaning up the mess that I made, after you knocked me down I tried to get up but I stumbled and hit my head blacking out, I’ve always been anemic but now that I’m pregnant its gotten worse, I’ve been having quite a few fainting spells,” Amber said.
\"Yes I’ve noticed,\" Heero told her, only looking at her curiously.
\"I\'m sorry,\" Heero simply said, turning away , heading upstairs.
\" Please don\'t go, if Quatre comes home and sees me in this state, you and I both know he\'ll get upset, could you help me to my bedroom so I can lay down until they get back,\" Amber asked.
Heero nodded. He surprisingly gently to Amber\'s delight, helped her carefully to her room.
\" Thank you Heero, I appreciate you helping me, I don\'t think I could\'ve made it to my room without someone helping me,\" Amber said.
\"Hn\" Heero nodded, and made his way towards the door.
Amber laid down as she quickly fell asleep.
------------------
A couple of hours later Heero heard a car pull up in the driveway, * they\'re back,* thought Heero.
\" Hey Heero, where\'s Amber don\'t tell me you killed her and dumped her in the river,\" Duo said.
\"Duo!\" Haruka said, hitting him behind the head.
\" The house is still standing, did you and that woman make up,\" asked Wufei.
\"Hn\" Was all Heero said as he met Haruka half way and hugged her, inhaling her sent deeply.
Soon as Quatre walked threw the door he went straight to the bedroom he and Amber shared, gently opening the door he saw that she was on the bed asleep, moving closer to the bed he noticed a red stain on her pillow, looking more closely at his wife he noticed that she had a small gash on her forehead, deciding to let her rest Quatre left the room.
Haruka smiled and giggled. \"Heero what’s with you?\" She said as he kissed at her neck.
\"I missed you\" He simply told her her.
\" Heero, what have you done to my wife, explain to me why she has a small wound on her head,\" Quatre said in an angry tone.
Heero turned from Haruka who had a confused look. He looked at Quatre. \"She hit her head on the table\"
\" You did something to her didn\'t you, my wife isn\'t perfect but you of all people should know better than to strike a pregnant woman,\" Quatre said.
\"I didn\'t hit her Quatre, I pushed her, she fell and when she tried to get up she hit her head,\" Heero told him calmly.
\" I hope you\'re telling the truth Heero, because if you\'re not you will pay for hurting my wife,\" Quatre said vicious tone.
\" Quatre, its true that Amber and I had an altercation, I left the house and when I came back I saw her on the floor unconscious, she was mumbling things saying she wanted to die, you really need to take her to see a doctor,\" Heero said.
After that Heero took a hold of Haruka\'s hand and took her upstairs.
Quatre just sat there wondering what happened to make his wife so upset that she wanted to die.
-----------
Heero had taken Haruka to their room and helped her to lay.
\"Heero? what happen? and why are you acting funny?\" Haruka asked, running her hand threw his hair.
\"Just confrontation again....she said somthing...something that...scared me, if you ever said that i don\'t know what i\'d do..\" Heero told her, while caressing her swollen stomach, looking at it and her fondly.
\"What? What did she say?\" Haruka asked, now worried.
\"She said kill me...she wanted to die....\" Heero told her, taking her hand in his.
\"I don\'t know what I would do if you ever said that\" He continued. Haruka saw light tears in his eyes.
\"Heero...\" Haruka whispered, getting him to sit up and let her lay against him.
-----------------------
Hearing noise in the house Amber awoke, sitting up quickly pulling the covers off of her she got up, still feeling somewhat dizzy she carefully made it into the bathroom.
Looking in the mirror, she noticed the large bump on her forehead, turning on the shower, stripping off her clothes she stepped in.
When she finished in the bathroom she quickly got dressed then heading for the kitchen to fix herself a snack.
Getting the stuff she needed from the fridge Amber quickly made her two ham sandwiches.
\" Does anyone even know that I\'m awake, shows how much they care,\" grumbled Amber as she ate.
\"I\'m right here, no need to go crazy\" Trowa quietly told her jokingly.
\" What have I told you about sneaking up on me Trowa,\" Amber asked.
\"Sorry, didn\'t mean to scare you\" He said, sipping his tea.
\" I should be used to it by now, you\'re always around when I need someone, I assume the entire house knows what happened this morning,\" Amber said moving on to her second sandwich.
Trowa nodded.
\" It wasn\'t Heero\'s fault, I taunted him into choking me then he knocked me to the floor, then he left and I tried to get up but I slipped and hit my head, I assume Heero found me and gave me my pills,\" Amber said.
\"I know and understand all that, no ones blaming anyone\" Trowa said.
\" I\'m glad, I\'ve been having quite a few fainting spells lately, I just haven\'t told Quatre because he\'ll make such a big fuss,\" Amber said.
Trowa smiled and sipped his tea.
\"I shouldn\'t have dragged Quatre into all of my problems, none of you deserve this I think it might be best if I left and annul my marriage to Quatre, the house is paid for so you can stay if you want too,\" Amber said silently.
\"I really wish you would stop talking that way\" A voice startled them.
\"Quatre loves you more then you can imagine\" He said
\" I\'m not worthy of him, look at me I\'m crazy I wanted to die, I wouldn\'t deprive him of this child I\'d give him full custody, I never should\'ve let him back into my life, as everyone can see in this house I am not well,\" Amber said.
\"Then snap out of it because you are needed\" Heero barked.
\" How dare you talk to me that way, just what am I needed for please tell me that,\" Amber asked.
\"Your husband, you child, your sister and yourself\" He told her sternly
\" Haruka doesn\'t need me anymore, if my husband loves me so much why wasn\'t he there when I woke up, I mean Trowa seems to care about me more than my husband does, maybe I should\'ve married him instead,\" Amber said.
At this last statement Trowa spit out his tea.
\"Amber why don\'t you stop being so dramatic, Haruka does need you, maybe not as much but she does and Quatre is out buying you things for your sickness to make you feel better\" He informed her.
\" I\'m taking prenatal vitamins what else do I need,\" Amber said.
\"Anything for you dizziness and such\" Quatre said, walking in the door.
\" Well, you finally showed up, I was about to leave you,\" Amber said.
\" Are you going to say anything Quatre,\" Amber asked.
\"Why do you always want to leave me?\" Quatre asked in the saddest tone.
\" You don\'t deserve this Quatre, you deserve better than this you always have,\" Amber said.
\"Amber haven\'t you figured out I want you and no one else!\" Quatre yelled frustrated and left the room to his bedroom, slamming the door.
\" Why does it have to be this way, I never wanted to make him unhappy, I love him damnit, I\'m going to have his baby in six months, I feel so much pain in my heart when I should be happy,\" Amber said sadly.
\"Then stop giving yourself drama and be happy,\" Heero told her
\" You\'re right Heero, there is one more thing I need to do before Quatre, I and our daughter can be happy,\" Amber said.
\" I\'m going to bury my past forever, its haunted me far too long,\" Amber said getting up from the table and following Quatre.
Amber walked into the bedroom she shared with Quatre and locked the door behind her.
\" Quatre, I\'m so sorry for treating you so poorly, I love you Quatre I want you to take care of me and our baby, you think that I\'m not happy about being pregnant, I might have been at first but I\'ve come to love this baby its apart of us, when you weren\'t there when I woke up I was afraid you left me, I was for sure you did after what Heero told you, it wasn\'t his fault my health hasn\'t been that good since I\'ve been pregnant, I need you Quatre this baby and I can’t live without you, please help me Quatre, please help me bury my past forever,” Amber said as the tears started to flow freely.
“ Give me a good reason why I should believe a word you say,” spat Quatre.
“ I love you Quatre, I need you to take care of me because I don’t know if I’ll survive without you, can\'t live without you, please help me Quatre, please help me bury my past forever,\" Amber said as the tears started to flow freely.
\" Give me a good reason why I should believe a word you say,\" spat Quatre.
\" I\'ve given you a good reason not to believe me, I haven\'t been the best wife in the world I wouldn\'t blame you at all if you left,\" Amber said sadly.
Quatre sighed and hugged Amber to him.
-------------
\"Hey! whatcha doin?\" Duo asked Trowa, walking into the kitchen and straight for the refrigerator.
\" Just having a cup of tea,\" Trowa said.
\"Cool\" Duo said, closing the refrigerator with his leg, since his arms were full of foods for his sandwich
\" Amber isn\'t going to like you raiding the fridge so close to dinnertime, I\'d hide if I were you,\" Trowa said.
Duo only looked at him worriedly, his mouth full of breads and meats.
\"Duo? what on earth?\"
Duo quickly turned to see Haruka in the door way smiling at him, holding her laughter.
\" What are you laughing at,\" Duo asked as bits of food flew everywhere.
\" Look at yourself Duo, you\'re talking with your mouth full its disgusting,\" Trowa said.
Haruka couldn\'t help but laugh.
\" Whatever, its not like we\'re in a restaurant so why should it matter,\" said Duo taking his sandwich and leaving the kitchen.
Haruka made her way to sit next to Trowa. \"So why are you sitting by yourself here?\"
\" Just enjoying the silence,\" Trowa said.
\" I don\'t believe you Trowa, you can trust me tell me what is really bothering you,\" Haruka said.
\" I guess I’m just...lonely\" He told her
\"Haruka, in all honesty, I want....\" He pushed and looked at her. \"..I want a child\"
\" Well, there are plenty of children in the world who need good homes, you would make an excellent father,\" Haruka said.
\"You think so?\" He asked.
She put her arm around him arm. \"I\'m positive, your already a great uncle\" She told him.
\" Thank you Haruka, your words mean a lot to me,\" Trowa said smiling.
She smiled at him.
-------------
Kaji sneaked out of his room quietly and made his way to his parent\'s bedroom.
He slowly opened the door and peeked inside. Seeing his father asleep on the bed, he made his way to him and onto the bed.
Kaji sat next to his father looking at him, studying him. A tiny smile apparent on hi face.
\"Daddy?\" He said.
Heero didn\'t move.
Kaji decided he was still sleepy and curled up next to his father. Unconcernedly, Heero\'s arm wrapped around Kaji.
---------
Two months had passed and Haruka was due any day, she and Heero were both in bed fast asleep when she awoke suddenly to feel water dripping down her legs.
\"Oh my god, Oh my god, Heero, Heero wake up\" She said, shaking him.
\" What is it Haruka,\" Heero asked half asleep.
\"My water broke....the baby\'s coming Heero\" She told him shakily.
\" Let\'s get you to the hospital let me get your suitcase,\" Heero said jumping out of bed and getting dressed.
Haruka sat still watching him as strong pain started, Haruka screamed.
\"Heero, he\'s coming now!\" she whaled.
\" This baby is coming soon I won\'t make it to the hospital, go wake Amber up now,\" screamed Haruka.
Heero, rushed threw Amber\'s door, “ Haruka’s having the baby please help her,” said a frantic Heero.
\" I know Heero, I\'m awake go into the kitchen and boil some water, Quatre go get some clean towels from the bathroom,\" Amber said calmly going upstairs with her medical bag.
\" Your husband rushed into my room, luckily I was awake getting my stuff together, may I examine you to see how far you\'re dilated how far are the contractions apart,\" Amber asked taking a seat.
\" It looks like you will be having this baby in the next hour, you\'re eight centimeters dilated,\" Amber said taking her gloves off taking a seat beside the bed.
\" What is going on inhere, I heard screaming,\" said a half asleep Duo.
\" Duo don\'t come in here, better yet how about you go get some clean linen from the closet, wake Trowa up and tell him to keep an eye on Kaji,\" Amber said pushing him out the door.
\"Duo....get Kaji....take him downstairs\" Haruka said. The poor boy had stood wide eyed next to the bed watching his mother, almost on the break of tears.
\" Sure, no problem,\" Duo said taking Kaji and leaving the room.
\" Don\'t worry Haruka, you\'re going to be fine I promise,\" Amber said taking her hand as she had another contraction.
\"Heero....where\'s Heero?\" Haruka demanded. Heero rushed to her, dropping the towels. \"I\'m right here\" He told her as he grabbed her hand.
\" She will be having the baby shortly, she\'s almost completely dilated I need you go get the water so I can deliver this baby,\" Amber said.
\"I\'ll get it\" Trowa spoke, surprising Amber and Heero at his presence.
\" Thank you, and tell Wufei to get some clean sheets out of the closet, and please tell my husband to come up here,\" Amber said still calm.
Trowa left quickly as Haruka screamed at the pain. Moments letter, Trowa, Wufei and Quatre all stood next to Amber, waiting for orders.
\" Haruka, its time for this baby to be born, Quatre please stay here you\'re going to need to take notes, Trowa go and prepare a bath for Haruka, Wufei go keep and eye on Duo make sure he hasn\'t gotten into trouble yet,\" Amber said putting her gloves on.
All 3 men nodded and moved quickly as one.
\" Haruka, push really hard, remember the classes you took before Kaji was born, Quatre get a blanket ready, don’t\' just stand there Heero hold her hand help her threw this,\" Amber shouted.
\"I am!\" He barked. Keeping his worried look on Haruka as she squeezed his hand.
\" I can see the head, one hard push and you\'re baby will be born,\" Amber said.
Haruka screamed as she pushed with all her might as they head a second scream erupt.
\" Congratulations Haruka and Heero you have a beautiful baby boy, Heero would you like to cut the cord,\" Amber asked.
Heero cut it perfectly and took hold of his new son delicately.
\" Would you like me to bathe him or would you like to do it,\" Amber asked.
\"I\'ll do it\" Heero mumbled, never taking his eye\'s away from his new born.
\" All right, Quatre lets get Haruka into the bath, Trowa can you handle changing the sheets,\" Amber asked.
\" I\'ll change the sheets honey, you and Trowa help her into the bathroom, I\'m so proud of you Amber I think you shouldn\'t quit school,\" Quatre said giving her a kiss.
\" All right Trowa, pick her up gently and lay her into the water, Quatre get her a nightgown because she\'s going to need rest, and I\'ll take care of bathing her,\" Amber said.
After Haruka was bathed, dressed and tucked into bed everyone went downstairs so she could get some sleep.
Heero sat on the loan sofa char with their new born, completely taken with him.
\" Who wants breakfast,\" Amber asked.
\"ME!!!!\" Duo said, running in with Kaji on his shoulders.
\" All right, I\'ll go get started,\" Amber yawned deeply as she headed into the kitchen.
Duo set Kaji down as Heero called for him.
Kaji approached his father and the mysterious baby carefully.
“Kaji, this is your little brother,\" Heero told him gently. Kaji only looked at the baby, amazed and curious.
The baby reached out to him and Kaji took a tiny hand into his own small hand and smiled.
\" Heero, here is a bottle for the baby, he probably needs a feeding until Haruka wakes up,\" Amber said handing him a warm bottle.
Heero took the bottle and gently feed the baby, who kept his eye on him and Kaji, smiling.
\" Breakfast will be done in ten minutes, we\'re having biscuits and gravy, Quatre can you help me set the table please,\" Amber yawned again deeply.
\"Why don\'t you go get some rest, I’ll take care of all this, please go et some rest\" He pleaded.
\" I will after I get something to eat, we\'re hungry,\" said Amber rubbing her swollen belly.
After everything was on the table Amber called everyone to come eat.
“ Heero, don’t forget to call Haruka’s doctor and make an appointment so she and the baby can be checked out,” Amber said.
Heero laid the now sleeping new born in his bassinet and grabbed Amber in a tight hug.
\"Thank you....thank you...\" He whispered, eye showing all emotions, while his face stay stony.
Kaji, stood looking down at his little brother. A smile pulling at his lips as he watch the tiny baby sleep. \"I\'m Kaji\" he said quietly.
\" You\'re welcome Heero, just do one thing for me take the money I\'ve given you and Haruka, so I won\'t worry too much when you move away,\" Amber said.
\"Only for emergencies\" He said, abruptly letting go of her and turning towards Kaji and the baby.
\" Good, give Haruka the life she\'s always wanted,\" Amber said with a smile.
-------------
\" Quatre, its time,\" Amber said as they laid in bed.
\" You\'re not due for another three months,\" Quatre said sitting up.
\" I know that Quatre, I meant we should travel to Europe and meet with my Uncle and Aunt,\" Amber said.
\" You\'re pregnant Amber, its too dangerous to travel that far,\" Quatre said.
\" I\'m stronger than you think Quatre, I owe it to my parents and to the people who\'ve died to come out of hiding and reclaim my title and what they took from me,\" Amber said.
“ We can go, only if we take one of the guys with us,” Quatre said.
\" Quatre I really don\'t think we should ask one of them to come with us,\" Amber said.
\"Why not?\" Quatre asked.
\" I think it would be rude to ask them to accompany us they\'re our friends, it might hurt their feelings or they might take it the wrong way,\" Amber said.
\" What do you mean,\" Quatre asked.
\" Some Royals are rude, I don\'t want our friends to be insulted in any way,\" Amber said.
\" It won\'t hurt to ask, we\'ll leave tomorrow afternoon I will make all the preparations,\" Quatre said.
\" Thank you Quatre, for your support I love you very much,\" Amber said hugging him tightly.
