A woman dressed in black was driving her high performance black motorcycle through the traffic of Suruga Bay not fearing anything in the world. She weaved too and fro through traffic trying to get the military base as fast as she could. People in their cars honked their horns at the motorcyclist but the woman paid no attention to them.
As she drove she heard a ringing noise in her helmet. She taped the side of her helmet and someone started talking to her.
"What is it Hogo?" The woman asked.
"Yoruichi where are you?" Hogo asked through the wireless built in cell phone in Yoruichi's helmet.
"Just a mile from the base Hogo. How long until the Chairman's plane arrive?" Yoruichi asked.
"Less than an hour. You better get here fast because the Prime Minister is going stir crazy and you're the only that has met the Chairman even though it was under your other name." Hogo replied.
"Yes well I am now at the gates I have to get off. Just have my clothes ready in my room." Yoruichi replied as she slowed down her bike.
"Excuse me Yoruichi but I am a guy and girls are suppose to help other girls with their clothes and not guys." Hogo replied.
"Yes but you don't want upset my sister do you? And another thing Hogo, please call me Yoru. My name is too long so please call me Yoru when it's just me and our fellow comrades." Yoru replied to Hogo before hanging up.
As she passed the MPs at the gate, she flashed them her military ID and went on her merry day.
In a normal day she would feel privilege to speak with the chairman of Zaft but it was the Chairman that persuaded Athrun to go back to Zaft. Now all Yoru has is silent anger at the man. The bad thing is that she could not show it what so ever.
Yoru came up to the building that housed the high officers of the Military in Suruga Bay. She quickly parked her motorcycle and entered the building.
As she ran up the stairs to her room she took her helmet off making her now natural black hair cascade down her back. She made it to the seventh floor and fished her keys out to her room and went and changed into black slacks, a white silk shirt with black jacket and black high heels. Once she was dressed she quickly locked her door as she ran out her room. She ran down the hall to the elevator with her heels in her hands so she wouldn't fall.
Prime Minister Miyamoto anxiously waited for Yoruichi to arrive. The Chairman's plane was about to land Yoruichi was nowhere in sight. When suddenly Yoruichi walked in.
"Yoruichi where on earth were you?" The Prime Minister asked.
"I am sorry I had family business to attend to and I had to take care of that before I came here." Yoru replied as she slipped her black high heels on.
"I am just glad you made it." Miyamoto replied to her.
"Am I really that important?" Yoru questioned the Prime Minister.
"I did appoint you as a Representative like did so with your brother he passed away so you are important." He replied to her in a serious tone.
"Yea but your being too tense. Take a deep breath and relax and remember what I told you about Chairman Gilbert Dullindal liking to twist words around and that I am now Aki not Yoruichi." Yoru replied with confidence.
"That's too much to remember." He replied.
"That's why I am here." Yoru replied as she started making her way to the now landing Zaft plane.
Yoru was sitting in a chair in a small conference room with the Chairman of Zaft, Talia Gladys who is the captain of The Zaft battle ship the Minerva, and Prime Minister Miyamoto.
Yoru was writing down notes down when her attention was grabbed by the Chairman.
"Representative Aki Kanzaki, what are your views on this war at the moment?" The Chairman asked.
"Would you like the blunt version or the held back version Chairman?" Yoru asked.
"The truth please." He replied.
"So you would like the blunt version then. My views may not matter to some people but since you asked I shall give it to you. I view this war as two people who can get along what so ever. In a sense we are all the same. We all skin, bones, muscle, lungs hearts etc. Just because we are all different does not mean we have to try and kill each other.
"My friend Name Yoruichi Kururugi once told me that war is a cycle of hate and the one way to end that cycle of hate is do the unbelievable. She made the Earth Alliance leave this country and has delivered peace to these lands. Before this meeting I asked her if she wanted me to tell you anything and she did. She wanted to tell you how lives are you willing to sacrifice by creating more battles. How many lives are you willing to kill so you can achieve power over a nenemy that is having a temper tantrum. How many lives are you willing to throw to make personal gains." Yoru replied to the Chairman.
"This Yoruichi you speak of. Is she the gundam pilot of the Escalus that was stolen by Zaft and was stolen back by her?" he asked.
Talia was alittle shocked by the conversation that was taking place before her.
"She is the pilot of the Escalus, her stealing it back I do not know." Yoru replied carefully.
"Then I would like to meet her someday." The Chairman mused loudly.
"Someday you might meet her but at the moment she is on deployment and can not be summoned." Yoru replied.
"Me and Representative Aki Kanzaki want to make a Treaty with Zaft. We have drafted the Treaty in this folder. All it needs is your signature once you are done reading it and we would like your witness that came with you to sign it as well." Miyamoto said to the Chairman.
"Until fortunately I must depart for I have a meeting with the officials in Orb but I have already signed the treaty. It was a honor to meet you Chairman Dullindal and you Talia." Aki said as she rose and bowed at them before exiting the room.
Yoru walked down the long corridor of the skyscraper building they were having the meeting in. Yoru entered the elevator and slipped her shoes off and stood there.
"Damn it he probably knows now that I am not Aki Kanzaki and I am Yoruichi. I played right into his hands like Athrun did. Damn it!" Yoru said through clenched teeth.
Once the doors of the elevator opened to the bottom floor. Hogo stood there waiting for Yoru.
"How did it go?" Hogo asked as he followed Yoru to the parking garage.
"Good for the Prime Minister bad for me." Yoru replied as Hogo got into the driver side of his car and she got in the front passenger side.
It was silent as Hogo drove his car out of the parking garage and toward Suruga Bay Military base.
"So how do think Zaft will live our home land alone?" he asked.
"It hard to say. The Chairman can be somewhat twisted and the E.A. have promised to leave Japan along but those bastards never keep their promises." Yoru replied as she leaned her head against the window and stared out the window.
"Are you thinking of Athrun?" Hogo asked.
"I am that easily read right now aren't I?" She asked with a smirk.
"Ever since he joined Zaft you have been going down hill and it has me really worried." Hogo replied as he drove.
"Just don't tell Haru. I want her focused on helping the ArchAngel. I don't want her worrying about me." Yoru replied.
"What are you going to do now?" he asked.
"I think I am going to take a vacation and go to Morocco and travel to Eygpt and then to Scandinavia." Yoru replied.
"You are going to smuggle yourself into Zaft territory and travel to Scandinavia? Why?"
"I need to fine my will to fight or I am going to fade into nothingness. My brother was my idol but I am so lost that I have no idea what he would do at this moment." Yoru confessed.
"You were at his grave weren't you? That's why you were almost late to the meeting." Hogo stated.
"Bingo. I am having Escalus be sent to Scandanavia to the ArchAngel so I can meet up with them and help them out." Yoru replied as they arrived at the base.
"But what about Japan?" Hogo asked.
"Don't worry I have been cleared by my superiors and if something happens here I will be here to clean up the trash that litters this beautiful land." She replied as Hogo parks next to her motorcycle.
"When do you leave?" he asked.
"Tonight. The Sooner the Better." She said.
"Promise me this, call Haru and let her know of your plans." Hogo said to her as Yoru opened her door.
"Promise guaranteed. I was going to call her anyways because I plan on going back to space to check on Kettei." Yoru said getting out.
"My sweet Kettei oh how I miss her deeply." Hogo replied all lovey dovey.
"I will tell her you said hi." Yoru replied closing the door and enter the building.
Yoru entered the dark room of her living quarters and lazily turned on the light and entered her room. She threw he stuff on the bed that had her packed backpack and went into the bathroom. Once she entered the bathroom, she removed her color contacts. Finally revealing her gold color eyes she looked at her hair and saw that her dark purple hair was starting to come back.
"Glade I don't have to pretend to be Aki anymore but I do hope this dark blue hair dye will last longer." Yoru said as she stared at the bottle of dark blue hair dye.
