I don't own Gundam SEED or any of their machines that I may include in this story. Sebastian Connor who will appear in this story was created and owned by Storm Wolf77415 so all rights go to him and i would like to thank him again for letting me use his OC. The only OCs that I own are members of the Sasaki family and one Mobile Suit I have created, the GAT-X025 Orion.

Prologue

Time: 5:43

Date: 4/02/61 C.E.

Location: Orb Noble Family Estate (Sasaki Rec room)

"And in later news, Patrick Zala, the PLANT's National Defense Committee Chair and his family, were attacked by the Blue Cosmos terrorist group. Over 50 civilians were killed in the failed attempt on the chairmen's life-"(T.V. snaps off)

"Idiots," a woman said as she turned off her TV and leaned back on her brown leather couch, pinching the bridge of her nose.

The woman had long dark brown hair done up in a pony-tail that stretched to her mid-back, and dark green eyes. She wore a white T-shirt, light brown cargo pants, and brown steel-toed boots. She also wore a black combat vest that was left unzipped.

'Don't they realize they are just making things worse?' Kumiko Nakamaru Sasaki thought as she continued to massage the bridge of her nose, unaware of someone walking up behind her as she still sat at on the couch.

"Madam Sasaki?"

Kumiko squeaked in surprised and jumped several inches off of the couch. She then found herself flat on her back on the ground. She mumbled some colorful words before she jumped back up and glared at who scared her.

"Don't do that Yoko!" said in frustration at the short black-haired and purpled-eyed maid. "I get enough of that from my son," she finished, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

Yoko bowed apologetically towards her superior. "I'm so sorry Madam Sasaki!" she said in a panic, knowing how much Kumiko hated being scared out of her wits. "But Lord Uzumi and Madam Cagalli have arrived," she finished, straightening out her back up again.

Kumiko blinked in surprise. "Already?" she asked as she looked out the window to her left to see rain pouring down. "I thought they wouldn't be here for another hour or so, because of the weather," she finished placing her hands on her hips.

Kumiko looked right back at Yoko giving her a questioning look. "You didn't leave them out in the rain again, did you?" she asked, her face unchanged.

"No Ma'am!" Yoko said, shaking her head violently.

"Good, lets go greet them," Kumiko said, walking past the maid, out of the Rec room, and down a hall leading to the front door. "It's bad manners to keep the Lion of Orb waiting," she finished with the maid in tow behind her.

Kumiko let her eyes wander from various pictures to awards. Most of the awards were military since the Sasaki family was known as the 'Saviors of Orb' to the public since the Reconstruction War. Why they called them 'Saviors' in the first place she'll never know; maybe for publicity or to rake in the ratings, but that's all she could think up at the moment.

She was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of glass shattering up ahead, near the front door. She then heard a high pitch gasp as well as someone saying "Oops."

Kumiko rounded the corner, that led to the main door, to see on the floor near the door what once was a Chinese main vase in multiple pieces.

Two people were near the shattered vase. One was a man that looked like he was in his late thirties with long black hair that stretched to his mid back and had streaks of grey in it, and wearing a long-sleeved dark magenta colored coat and matching pants. He was Uzumi Nara Athha, the chief representative of Orb and Kumiko's old friend elementary school friend. He was kneeling down next to his daughter, a blond haired golden-eyed 6 year old Cagalli Yula Athha, who wore a small pair of light blue jeans and a simple red t-shirt. Cagalli had a panic and scared look on her face while tears threatened to crawl down her cheeks as her father tried to calm her.

"It's ok, Cagalli," Uzumi said in a caring tone as he rubbed the small child's back. "It was an accident. I'm sure Mrs. Sasaki will understand."

Cagalli heard multiple footsteps behind her and paled. She quickly turned around to see Kumiko looking down at her with a scrutinizing look on her face. "M-Mrs. Sasaki," she stuttered as she looked up at the older woman. "I'm s-sorry; I didn't mean to break it! I just leaned on the small table and it fell off. Please don't get mad, I can glue it back together again!" Cagalli finished quickly.

Kumiko sighed, making Cagalli look down towards her feet. "Come with me dear," she said while turning around and started walking towards a closet near the front door with Cagalli following closely.

'What's she up to now?' Uzumi thought as he stood back up and watched his old friend. He then saw her turn her head towards Uzumi and mouthed 'watch this.'

Kumiko did her best to hide her smile as she continued to walk towards the closet. She took a quick glance at Cagalli, to see she was still looking at the ground before she straightened out her eyesight back towards the closet. "It is unfortunate things like that happen. But we can't be loitering around now can we?" she asked as she made it to the closet, opened it up, took something out of the closet and handed it to Cagalli. "Here you go," she finished flatly.

Cagalli took the object from the older adult and hugged it closely. Upon closer inspection she found out it was a vase that looked exactly like the one she just smashed into a million pieces. Cagalli blinked. "Huh?" she asked looking up giving Kumiko a questioning look.

"Oh! About that," Kumiko started, kneeling down to one knee so she doesn't have to strain the young lioness's neck. "You see these things break all the time. So many in fact that I had hundreds made just to replace them when needed," she finished with a cheerful tone.

"You mean, I'm not in trouble?" Cagalli asked in a very low tone while giving Kumiko an angry look.

Kumiko smiled, unphased by the lioness look. "Just be a little more careful next time, ok?" she said, playfully ruffling Cagalli's hair before she placed her hand back to her side.

Cagalli gave Kumiko a flat look before she turned around and started walking back to the main door mumbling, "Stupid grown-up, making me think I was in trouble."

Kumiko overheard Cagalli's words and stuck out her tongue at the six year old, making Uzumi chuckle at his friend's antics. She quickly retracted her tongue and sighed. "Yoko," she said getting the maid's attention as she stood back up.

"Yes, ma'am?" Yoko asked as she finished picking up the last couple pieces of the once was vase.

"After you throw those pieces away, can you go get my quiet trouble-maker of a son?" Kumiko asked as she saw Cagalli put the new vase in the same place where the old one was. "He should be in the medical wing, we'll meet you in the playroom once you get the little idiot," she finished, walking up to Uzumi, her arms crossed over her chest.

"Yes, ma'am" Yoko acknowledged making a quick bow to her superior. She then turned around, with the pieces of the last vase still in hand, went through two rooms to the left of the main entrance, and through another door leading to the medical wing.

"Shall we head for the playroom?" Kumiko asked as she finally reached her friend's side, who was also watching Cagalli place the new vase in it's new home.

Uzumi looked at Kumiko and nodded, "Of course."

Cagalli released her grip on the vase, looked over her right shoulder towards the two adults and smirked. "Last one there is a rotten egg!" she said running full sprint up a flight of stairs in front of the main doors and down another hallway.

"Oh-no you don't!" Kumiko said taking the six year old blond's challenge and ran off after her.

Uzumi sighed before he chuckled to himself while shaking his head. 'Somethings never change,' he thought as he followed the two up the stairs.

(Few minutes later)

"I WIN!!!" Cagalli and Kumiko said in unison as they slammed their hand on the door leading to the playroom at the same time.

They both glared at each other. "No you didn't, I won!" they both yelled at the same time again, only making them both glare at each other harder.

"What are you talking about?!" Cagalli asked, not wanting to lose. "I was here first and you know it!"

"Fat chance squirt!" Kumiko said while leaning over, looking at Cagalli straight in the eyes. "I won that race," she finished pointing her thumb at her chest, not noticing Uzumi was behind her.

"No I did!"

"I did!"

"I did!"

"I did!"

"I did!"

"I did!"

"No, I did," said a third voice coming from the playroom door.

"AAAAHHHH!!!!" Kumiko, Uzumi, and Cagalli screamed, surprised at the third voice as they looked towards the playroom door.

In the middle of the doorway, holding the door open was a young boy around the age of seven. He had short messy light brown hair and light blue eyes. Even though he was 9 months older than Cagalli, he was at least 2 to 3 cm shorter than her. He wore a black t-shirt with the words 'Work bad. Video Games Good.' and a navy blue sweatpants.

"Kazuma, how many times have I told you not to do that?!" Kumiko said, very peeved at her son's antics.

Kazuma looked up to his mother and cocked his head to the right. "5,436 times, why do ask?" he said making Kumiko's eye brow twitch in annoyance.

"You keep count?" Cagalli asked, making Kazuma look at her.

"It gets boring here after awhile," Kazuma said before he felt something hit the back of his head.

"Don't be a smart-ass," Kumiko said after she lightly swatted the back of Kazuma's head.

"It's not my fault," Kazuma said, rubbing the spot his mom whacked. "You asked a question, so I answered it."

"It's a mom thing," Kumiko said crossing her arms. "We ask that question out of instinct, so you don't answer the question."

"Ok, I'm bored," Cagalli said, breaking the tense atmosphere and grabbed Kazuma's left hand. "Now lets play 'Invasion' or something Kazuma," she finished while dragging him into the playroom

"Your son is going to give me a heart attack one of these days," Uzumi said as he tried to slow down his heart rate and regain his composure from the scare Kazuma gave them.

"You and me both," Kumiko agreed as she straightened out her vest and walked into the playroom with Uzumi behind her.

"It's becoming harder and harder to keep Kazuma's presence a secret Kumiko," Uzumi said very seriously as he sat down in one of the chairs in the playroom.

"I know…." Kumiko said sitting in a chair next to Uzumi, watching Kazuma and Cagalli play with a bunch of cardboard boxes. "I greatly appreciate everything you're doing Uzumi," she finished looking at her friend with a smile.

Uzumi looked towards Kumiko and returned the smile, "What are friends for?"

(3 days later)

"This is Samantha Pitchford with an emergency broadcast. A member of the Sasaki family, the Saviors of Orb, Kumiko Nakamaru Sasaki's son, Kazuma Kurokawa Sasaki, has been kidnapped within the last hour. As of now there are no details on whether the kidnappers are demanding ransom …
