Welcome to Chapter 1 of my first fic! I hope it's enjoyed but I do have a word of caution to those who read. This fic will contain…crap what's that word…Yaoi. (Note: I'm still learning some of these terms because I use different ones typically)Nothing too highly rated but you've been forewarned.
Disclaimer: These characters aren't mine nor shall they ever be (They belong to Bandi and Sunrise), just borrowing them for a few precious lines to be written, and the setting they are set in is not mine either. This counts for all chapters to this story as well. Awe hell, might as well just say it, nothing belongs to me. There, it's been said.

Chapter 1: Is it really Over?
The war was ended, but was it truly? History has a tendency to repeat itself. Sometimes it takes years, but then there are times that history has a way of rapid repetition. Just when you think it's over it all comes back again…but with vengeance. Was OZ really destroyed? Treize was dead and so was Zechs, or so it was thought. The organization had lost its highest authority and should have been thrown into chaos. But people never learn…
-----------------
Heero watched as peace negotiations between the Earth's Sphere and the Colonies were going on below. He was hidden, none knew he was there. But that was how he liked it. The state of affairs between the Colonies and Earth were still so very fragile. This he knew from other meetings he had snuck into just like this one. They were discussing total disarmament. Heero wasn't so sure this was the right option though. Something inside him told him that the time was not right. Total disarmament would render the Colonies vulnerable, especially if the Earth decided to drop its end of the bargain, as it was so accustomed to doing. He had to play guardian of the Universe again. A role he knew all to well. Well, he and Zero would be ready for whatever was coming.
He turned his attention back below to the audience chamber. Since the Final Battle Earth had done well to pick up the former piece of existence and had elected a Prince and a Legislative House to check him. The Prince was young in comparison to the others in the room. Actually compared to any elected official in history he was young. He was only 17, but there was something about him that commanded respect of all who meet him. Not only that. He was intelligent and he knew it. Damn kid had united all of Earth and practically had the Colonies eating out of the palm of his hand. He was dedicated to peace though, and would do all in his power to achieve it, except risking lives unnecessarily. He was the best scenario that could have been hoped for. It was either him or Relena. Heero sighed at that. She was charismatic but that was about all the good traits the girl possessed. He had been thankful when she had lost the election. It was for the better.
"Total disarmament is necessary to ensure lasting peace for both the Colonies and the Earth Sphere," commented one of the many colony representatives. This one was from one of the L2 colonies.
"You must see this Prince Teolyn," another representative added. Heero believed he was representing one of the L1 colonies.
Prince Teolyn looked to his High Consul who nodded in response.
Silence fell upon the chamber as they waited for the Prince to collect his thoughts.
"I too believe in peace," he said finally "but I am not willing to risk lives by consenting to total disarmament yet."
All below were stunned, Earth and Colony representatives alike. An uneasy silence fell this time. The Prince seemed to ignore it though. His resolve was as hard as granite. He would not let these foolish representatives push him into a decision he would regret.
After some minutes of absolute silence it was the Prince's own advisor, the High Consul who spoke. "My Prince, may we ask why you decline this proposal?"
"I have word of unrest, word of insurrection against unification. Unrest leads to violence High Consul, and I will not have useless bloodshed in battles that could have been prevented. If blood is to be spilled let it be for a real cause not an ideal."
Heero looked at Prince Teolyn, trying to read him, his real motives. That was something he had perfected. But politicians were difficult. They could hide their motives all too well. All the Prince was showing on the outside was the most earnest resolve Heero had seen on any person other then Wufei or occasionally Quatre. He did notice the young man had his fist clenched though. He was suppressing his outrage against the simple-minded representatives around him Heero deducted. No wonder. Had he been Prince Heero would have fired them all on the first day. Bureaucracy was what slowed important decisions down anyway. The world would have been better without it in his opinion, of course assuming you had an excellent ruler such as Teolyn. The contrary could prove to undo the entire human race. Heero would never let that happen though, even if it called for a well planned assassination. This debate was actually becoming quiet amusing.
"I refuse to differ in my stand High Consul," Prince Teolyn replied to the requests made by his High Consul for the reconsideration of the proposal. "When the time is right you will know. You will all know," he spoke as he looked at each and every one of the representatives present. "But until then there will be no disarmament, for either the Earth Sphere or the Colonies." He stood then and in a whirl of the black cloth that was his cloak he left the council chamber, his words echoing in the minds of all left, including Heero's.

So that's chapter 1. How was it? Please review! And don't worry; the other GW pilots will come in soon. Duo's next actually. He'll be in the next chapter and so will Quatre I think. I have to see how much I can fit. I hope sincerely that you enjoyed chapter 1.
