Disclaimer-I only do not own any of the characters of Gundam Seed, but I do wish that I could own Athrun. I just love his personality.

She stared out the window as the car drove down the street. This should never have happened for years and years. 'Why had they all died', she couldn't understand it. Was she being punished for loving him even though everyone said it was wrong, even though he was a traitor to his own people, but in her heart of hearts she couldn't help what she felt. He had promised her before she left that when things cooled down he would marry her just as their parents intended it. They were all dead now to punish her for the fact that even though he had betrayed them, she would still love him. How could she blame him though? It wasn't his fault that they were dead. She didn't want this war and neither did he. But she couldn't ignore the fact that he was now one of them. If only everyone could understand her reason for loving him even after all this had happened. Even after he was labeled a traitor and everyone said she should break off the engagement. Only she couldn't. She loved him more than life itself and for her to stop that love it was going to take a lot more than abandoning her people for her to end that love that swelled up inside of her longing for his touch once again. For him to whisper in her ear once again that she was the only one for him and that he would make her happy 'till the day they died. It would take him betraying her with another woman to make her end the love she felt. Now all she had of him were memories. All she had were a lot of memories nowadays. Ones that were painful, but she could never forget them, not ever, if she forgot them than life could be pain free. No more guilt ridden nights lying awake in her bed wondering if she could have done something to save them, wondering why she had not died with them, but that answer was simple. It was not her turn. It was her turn however to be safe and out of harms way and she hated herself for that. That was why she couldn't forget them. If she forgot them than it would no longer be her fault. She wouldn't be able to blame herself anymore for not joining in their death. Mother, Father, her 7 brothers and sisters were all dead and so were all those innocent people. Now she had to fulfill her obligation and become the next leader of PLANT. She was after all the daughter of former Head Councilman Anasa Kalo Yuni. She, Talia Mae Yuni was ready, as she wiped her tear stained face to show a brave front to the people she was about to meet. The people who she would choose three of to escort her to ORB for a meeting and party with the new Head Representative of ORB.

She stepped out of her limo as she was greeted by the shocked faces of the Zaft military forces, who she would be inspecting, she herself was not at all shocked by their surprise because they had believed that their new leader would be of all people a young man or even an old one, but certainly not a girl. No one expected that of all of Councilman's children to survive it would be his eldest child, his daughter, no they were thinking more along the lines of her younger brothers. Oh well, it wasn't like that mattered anymore. They had a Yuni once again in control and they now felt that they could take the upper hand in this war. How wrong they were, she thought, she would end it all right because she wasn't going to let it continue. They would not surrender or conquer, but make peace the only way she believed was fair. They would call a truce
