Yoru tied a white bandana on her head to not only keep her hair out of her face to also keep the sun off her head. She was wearing tan cargo pants and light blue light long sleeve shirt and brown boots.
"These traders have agreed to let you come with them to Egypt as long as you make no trouble to them." Van said to her as he and Yoru made their way where the Traders were.
"Me cause trouble, as if. I am a golden angel." Yoru replied cheekily.
"Yea last time you said that you almost got me shot by some bandits in the Sahara when we were on our way to Libya." Van said with a glare.
"I told you to run and you just stood there so it was self inflicted." Yoru replied to him.
"Yea whatever." Van mumbled under his breath as the two of them made it to the Traders.
"So this is Talibah." One of the Traders that had a oder complex said to Van.
"I like to thank for letting me come with you to Egypt." Yoru said bowing to him.
"You have down a lot to this village and my son. I want to thank you by taking you to Egypt." The Trader said to her, "My name Anis (Translation: Close Friend)."
"It is a pleasure to meet you Anis." Yoru said to him with a smile.
"Well I will see you sometime or another back home." Van said giving Yoru her backpack.
"It was good seeing you again Van and thank you for everything." Yoru yelled to him as Van left.
It had been almost week since Haru got a call from her older sister making it to Morocco. She wished she was with her nee-san (older sister) that and the loneliness was somewhat killing her.
"Is this how you feel about nii-san (older brother). I wish I knew him then so I could understand your thought process." Haru said as she stared at a picture on her desk in her room on the ArchAngel.
It was a picture of her parents and Yoru and Yoshi and he when she was a baby. Yoru had the same picture in her room back in Japan. Haru sighed as she got up from her bed and picked of the picture.
"Mom, Dad, Yoshi….I wish you were all here right now." Haru said as she set the picture down and went out of her room. She made her way to the hanger to complete the upgrade system on her gundam.
"What are you doing here Haru?" Kira asked Haru.
"Oh nothing, being a workaholic like nee-san." Haru said cheerfully.
"Okay but don't tire yourself out incase we meet some unfriendly people." Kira said.
"Like you?" Haru said with a smirk.
"Have you heard anything from Yoru?" he asked.
"No and it has me worried." Haru said.
Her eyes changed from the happy go lucky to loneliness.
"Hey don't worry. I am sure your sister is fine." Kira said to her.
"Haru please come to the bridge." Merrue said over the intercom.
Haru took off running to the bridge with Kira following her.
Once Haru and Kira made it to the bride the saw that Lacus and Cagalli were there.
"Go ahead and let the call come through." Murrue said to one of the officers.
A screen came to life with Yoru's face on it.
" Oh wow. I wasn't expecting a welcoming like this. Was I truly missed that much?" Yoru asked through the vid channel.
"Long time no see Yoruichi." Waltfeld said as he entered the bridge.
"Ah the desert tiger makes it to see little old me." Yoru said happlyy.
"Where are you at Nee-san?" Haru asked.
"Well I am currently in Alexandria in Egypt. The Mediterranean is beautiful. I wish you could see it everyone." Yoru replied.
"Yea but when will I see you face to face?" Haru asked.
"Soon. I just have to slip past E.A. underwater to make to Scandinavian waters and then I will be there." Yoru replied.
"Whats the news straight from the people like?" Murrue asked.
"Its really strange Murrue-san. All my old friends in the Sahara want life to be peaceful and nothing but peace There are people who are neutral when it comes to politics of war. Once I got into Cairo everything changed to coordinators hating the guts of naturals which was really upsetting and its like that too here in Alexandria." Yoru replied.
"What in the hell were you thinking going to Panama you idiot?" Cagalli asked somewhat angrily.
"Awe Cagalli-chan still mad me for what happened at Orb?" Yoru asked innocently.
"Damn right." Caagalli replied.
"My my we have such a mouth. Anyways that was all Kira's ideal and not mine. I supplied the info not the actions." Yoru said carefree.
Cagalli started glaring at Kira.
"Oh wow he didn't tell you that part."
"Kira actually told Caggalli that you planed the whole abduction." Lacus replied with a smile.
"Well anyways I have info about the Minerva's next target." Yoru replied, "The are heading to Gulnahan. They are going to try and destroy the Lohengrin Gate with the help with some help with a rebel girl."
"How did you get that info?" Waltfeld asked.
"I have many friends that have joined the cause that me and Nii-san started long ago and they are helping me out. Even though some of them have mostly moved to Japan there still some loyal friends of the Kururugi family." Yoru explained.
"That's why you went to Panama. You went to see Zack." Haru exclaimed.
"Yep. He's one o f my contacts that's been laying low in Panama for me. Anyways I must be going. I don't to risk anything and I have things to do." Yoru replied before cutting her connecting off.
Yoru was walking toward the harbor with her things so she could leave Eygpt. Tonight she had to be like a ninja except she would be in her gundam, Escalus. As Yoru walked by many commercial and military ships. A kid just two years younger than her ran into her making both of them fall to the ground.
"Are you okay I am so sorry for running into you." the kid said.
"No it was my fault I wasn't watching where I was going." Yoru replied.
"Are you a local?" the kid asked.
" No, why do you ask?" Yoru asked.
" you didn't look like it. My name is Shinn." the name Shinn replied to her.
"I'm Yoru. Why were you in a rush?" Yoru asked Shinn.
" I am was trying to find my way back to a Zaft ship called the Minerva and got lost." Shinn answered as he helped Yoru to her.
"That sucks getting lost. You won't be able to get to the military docks until evening comes. The fishers start coming in right now to unload their catch before back out at night." Yoru replied.
"Damn it. Well thanks Yoru." Shinn said as he started to leave.
"Hey wait a minute. I know this nice restaurant by the docks that's has some good food and I was on my way there. You wanna come with me to kill some time?" Yoru asked Shinn.
"I have nothing else to do." Shinn replied.
"Then its settled." Yoru exclaimed happily.
Yoru and Shinn were seated at the restaurant by the beach waiting for their food to arrive.
"So if your not a local why are you here." Shinn asked.
" I am here visiting people that I know. I am also on my way down the southern part of this Zaft territory before heading back to the colonies to see family." Yoru perfectly lied.
" Really? Your family must really miss you." Shinn replied.
" It's only me and my little sister. My parents passed away long ago and my older brother died four years ago. What about your family?" Yoru replied.
" My whole family is gone." Shinn replied solemnly.
" I'm sorry. I know what that is like." Yoru replied.
" Its okay because I am going to get revenge. I am going to kill every natural I see. They were the ones who took my family and yours." Shinn said to Yoru.
" My mother and father died in Junis seven and my brother died from a coordinator trying to hurt me and my little sister." Yoru partly lied.
Shinn just stared at her somewhat at awe on how she could recollect their deaths with out sorrow.
"Can you tell me Shinn what the definition of war is?" Yoru asked Shinn.
" It's when two nations start fighting each other. Everyone knows that." Shinn said in an cocky tone.
" No, war is a cycle of hatred that never stops and threatens the innocent lives." Yoru replied, " When you kill a person, that relative's hates the person that killed their loved one and seeks revenge. It is a cycle that is hard to stop. Yes there will be sore feelings to people but do you want to kill others to prove a point. I am just a lowly person speaking nonsense to others but in this world I believe on both sides they feel the same way as I do right now." Yoru explained.
Shinn was silent for a couple of minutes until he spoke again.
"But Chairman Durandal said that the only way to get peace is by getting stronger." Shinn replied.
"There are ways of getting stronger without making others think you are a threat. Would you like to know what the three strongest ones are?" Yoru asked as their food was brought to them.
"What are they?"
"Words, Knowledge, and Kindness." Yoru replied.
Yoru showed Shinn where the Minerva was at the Docks. She could go no further since she was not in Zaft and that Talia might somewhat recognize her.
"I guess is good bye." Shiin replied.
"It is never good bye. It is always see you later for we will meet again someday." Yoru said as she walked away to where she was suppose to be since the sun was starting to set.
After walking far away, she stood on a sloped road that overlooked the Minerva. She felt her heart start to ache at the thought of Athrun being so close to where she was.
"Be safe love." Yoru said before walking away.
"What took you so long?" a elderly man said to Yoru.
"I got side tracked. I am sorry that I worried you." Yoru said innocently.
"Don't play that Innocent shit with me." The man yelled at her.
"Now now Aiko no need for such harsh language." Yoru said calmly at the elderly man named Aiko.
"Just get in your gundam and get going. The whole in E.A.'s Patrol only lasts five hours before the ships switch out." Aiko told Yoru.
Okie Dokie Ojii-san (grandpa)." Yoru said happily.
