Chapter Nine

"I mean, is sex with Yzak stupid?"

"ELSMAN!" Shiho shouted and turned a bright shade of red.

Dearka chuckled, "That's what I thought. Anyway, I'm going to go back to work. I wish you two the best of luck with crazy Marcus who has been a pain in the ass since his arrival."

"Don't remind me," Yzak groaned. "Did he report to duty today?"

"I don't know," Dearka shrugged. "I'm not his commanding officer, you are!"

"Again…don't remind me," Yzak said as he logged onto his computer. He began looking down on his list on who was on duty today and who was off. He searched and groaned, "He's here today."

Shiho kissed his cheek, "I better get to my office. I have to look over some paper work for new pilot training sessions today."

Yzak nodded as he lifted his head up and Shiho kissed his lips softly before she took her leave. Dearka arched his eyebrow as Shiho then walked out, "You are in L-O-V-E, LOVE! This is going to be a great story to tell Athrun."

"What," Yzak asked darkly. "What does Zala have to do with this?"

Dearka smirked, "Athrun will be coming back from his honeymoon with Cagalli sometime this week. They are supposed to come and visit up in the PLANTs. I think they are going to visit his parents' grave sights."

"Great," Yzak said with much enthusiasm as he could muster at that point in time. "What else is going on, that you forgot to mention to me?"

"Nothing," Dearka said with a smirk. "Well…your mother is supposed to visit again for the announcement for the runners for Chairman."

"I already knew that," Yzak rolled his eyes.

"Then we're all set!"

"AHHHHHH!" Yzak and Dearka quickly exited his office to see what the screaming was about. Yzak quickly by instinct went over to Shiho's office and barged into her office to see her completely fine. Yzak let out a sigh of relief she was standing up ready to go out to see where the scream came from. So Yzak then turned around to go find out where the scream came from as Elsman seemed to have got him beat when it came to that. Yzak pulled out his gun and Shiho was running behind him.

"Who do you think it was," Shiho asked as they reached a corridor where there was debris everywhere.

"REPORT!" Yzak shouted at the time ignoring Shiho's question. He then turned around and grabbed her hand pulling her closer to him.

"It was Lieutenant Marcus and the other women," Ruby shouted as she came out of the smoke. She was coughing as she tried to wave the dust away from her face, "I tried to stop them sir but they said they wanted some fresh air and fun."

"Damn those idiots," Yzak grumbled and turned to look at Shiho. "You stay here; I want you to make sure everyone is safe and somewhere away from the debris."

"Yes Captain," Shiho said reacting in her military protocol but was stopped as Yzak held her in his arms. He placed a soft kiss on her cheek causing her to blush and Ruby to silently fume. She clenched her fists, she didn't think Brandon was right about Shiho and Yzak but apparently it was so. She saw the diamond ring flash on Shiho's finger and envied her, she was going to make sure Shiho get her ends reward. Yzak had taken his leave as he began calling for a search for the three people Ruby had accused but in reality the culprit was with his fiancée.

Shiho froze as she felt a sharp object poking at her side, "You better break off the engagement with him…he's not yours and you are definitely not his."

"Ru…ruby," Shiho turned her head to see Ruby glaring up at her. "What are you talking about?"

"You're engaged to the wrong man," Ruby stated as she shoved Shiho into the wall and hand cuffed her arms together. "We're going on a little trip…so hold on…" Shiho was about to protest when she felt a needle prick her neck. She suddenly felt her eyes begin to close as the medicine took its toll on her. Ruby smirked as she quickly called for help to get Shiho out of the building by a few others. She was able to quickly mask her true emotions into one of fear for her friend's safety. "We need to get her back home…"

The soldier quickly helped her in transportation of Shiho, and she smirked darkly. She was going to enjoy this way too much and it was all too easy. Yzak and Shiho had both let their guard down, it was going to be all too much fun for the deceptive girl. Yzak would however find out that it wasn't the man he was spiting that caused the trouble…but will it be in time?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Yzak grumbled when he found no one in the hallway at all. He asked for the surveillance tapes to be looked over as he began reading through his paper work. Dearka was sitting in his office as he was going through some information that other people were giving him about the explosion. Brandon was not even located in that hallway along with the other two women they had brought back. It didn't make sense on why Ruby would blame them; Ruby was also missing but were told that she had been seen leaving with Shiho. But then that didn't make sense either, now did it? Shiho never left the office without informing someone that she had orders to leave. There were so many thoughts running through their minds that not all of these questions registered in their heads.

Yzak buzzed on his communicator that was on his desk, "Ensign did they find the tapes yet?"

"Sorry sir," a voice replied back. "There has been nothing found yet, it would appear that the culprit who actually did do the damage made sure the cameras weren't working at the time."

"Damn it!" Yzak grumbled as he pounded his fist on his desk, "Keep me posted!"

"Who the hell would do such a stupid thing," Dearka asked as he let some of the folders land on Yzak's couch. "It just doesn't make sense on who would go to the lengths. I mean even Marcus has someone to vouch for him!"

"Look, as much as I want to blame that fucking bastard for these problems I can't," Yzak growled and hit his button again. "Where the hell is Ruby?"

"Captain Jule, she found Commander Hahnenfuss in ill condition and took her home." A voice responded and Yzak's face paled…when did she get hurt. "It was nothing serious sir, just looked like a fainting spell."

"What time was this," Yzak barked standing to his feet.

"Sir, it's been about ten hours ago sir." Yzak's eyes widened…had it already been that late. Sure enough as he turned to look out the window it was dark. He grumbled again, she didn't even bother to call him! Was she ok, or wasn't she? Well if she fainted there was nothing to worry about…right? RIGHT? Then why did he get the sinking feeling that something was terribly wrong. Yzak looked over at his digital clock to see what the time was. It was sure enough ten hours had passed. Yzak pulled up his phone and dialed Shiho's cell number…he didn't know the number to her apartment…so cell phone was good enough. However it didn't even ring the normal four times just went straight to her voice mail.

Yzak didn't panic he got angry. Dearka looked over at his friend, "Hey Yzak, what's wrong?"

Yzak was forming a list in his head, Shiho for one always answered when he called her and two she NEVER turns off her phone. Yzak slammed the phone down causing Dearka to jump. Yzak was growling and Dearka followed after him, "Hey where are you going?"

"I'm going to see Shiho," Yzak responded but barked at him and entered the elevator. Dearka looked at him stunned as he followed after his best friend, "What? I can't go see my own fiancée?"

"It's not that, you looked pissed about actually going to see her," Dearka responded and Yzak just grunted. "What's wrong?"

"NOTHING!" Yzak barked as the elevator doors flew open and marched out of the building. The soldiers there were looking after the silvered hair with gaping eyes. He marched, no correction…stomped over to his and motioned for Dearka to follow. Dearka boarded his friend's car as Yzak quickly sped off onto the highway and Dearka chose to stay silent until they reached Shiho's apartment. By the time he had parked the car and reached her door was no time flat. Yzak pounded on the door, "WOMAN OPEN UP THIS FUKCING DOOR!"

"Yzak, are you trying to scare the whole building," Dearka asked stunned at his friend's abrasive actions as Yzak pounded on the door but heard no response from the woman that occupied the room inside. "Calm down!"

"Shut up Elsman," Yzak shouted at his friend as he pulled out his gun.

Dearka looked at him as if he was crazy, "What are you CRAZY? You can't shoot a gun in here?"

"Watch me," Yzak said as he shot at the door handle. The lock that held the door had been blown away. The shot had rang in the hallway and echoed as if they were asking to be thrown into jail for breaking into someone's personal space.

"You've lost it!" Dearka shouted at him and it would quickly fall silent at the sight of Shiho's apartment. It had been trashed and had writing all over her walls. "Who … what…"

Yzak heard running water and quickly ran to the shower with Dearka following after him. Yzak saw the door had been locked as well, "Damn it!" Yzak pulled out his gun again and shot at the lock to have the same effect as earlier. However the water coming from the shower door made the two ZAFT soldiers have an unsettling feeling in both of their stomachs. Yzak rushed in after kicking the door after shooting at the lock. Water was everywhere, it was flowing from her sink, her bath, and her shower…Yzak's face dropped and his heart clenched as he saw a barely dressed Shiho handcuffed to her shower head soaking wet.

"Oh my God," Dearka rasped.

"TURN OFF THE WATER MORON!" Yzak shouted as he rushed to Shiho's side and turning off the water pouring onto her. Dearka quickly turned off the sink and the tub. Yzak looked at the handcuffs and saw they were standard issue and pulled out his skeleton key that he kept with him at all times. He prayed that it would work with these as he heard the click and felt his heart beating once again.

"She is alive…" Dearka asked as Yzak was checking her basic vital signs.

"She's breathing if that what you mean," Yzak barked and felt her forehead. "She's burning up, she's going to be sick after this…the damn fucker that did this to her will pay."

"I don't think I ever heard you curse this much in your life," Dearka said with a sigh. "She can't stay here…"

Yzak picked Shiho up and went to place her on her bed. She began to shiver and Yzak removed his white jacket and wrapped it around her frail body as her violet eyes opened to meet his. She shivered more as he buckled his belt around her waist…she looked like a small child trying on her father's clothes…"He…hey…"

"Hey yourself," Yzak said as he caressed her face. "How you feeling?"

"Pe…pea…peachy."

"Liar," Yzak said as he gathered her up into his arms again. "You're coming home…"

"I…I….am…..ho….home…"

"No," Yzak said into her ear. "This isn't home…home is with me." Shiho just nodded and clung to him as she continued to shiver against him. "I'm going to get you checked by the hospital near by, I'll have Dearka watch over you there...I'll pack up some of your things." Dearka nodded as Shiho looked over at him, she just then rested her head against Yzak's shoulder. "Let's get her out of here…"

"Right," Dearka responded as the two left her apartment as people came to investigate the matter. The landlord showed up, "Look…sorry about the mess, but we had to do something about getting in. Uh….who was with her last?" Dearka asked as Yzak took Shiho with him and once they were gone he had approached the landlord.

"That girl Ruby, she often came by here to help out Miss Hahnenfuss," he responded and Dearka paled. He had hoped it was someone else, but sweet Ruby? It didn't make sense, but maybe someone else knew more … there had to be more? "She came by earlier with Miss Hahnenfuss and asked if I could help her to bed. So I did, but she came back later asking if she could have access to the room to get something."

"What did she get," Dearka asked.

"A necklace, she said that she let Miss Hahnenfuss borrow it and wanted it back."

"Necklace…" Dearka than recalled Shiho wasn't wearing the necklace Yzak had given her. In fact, he didn't see the ring on her finger any more. Dearka started to get worried and thanks the landlord as he quickly went downstairs to see Yzak waiting for him. He quickly got into the car as Yzak drove off; he would keep this information to himself but looked over to Shiho's left hand to see in fact…her engagement ring was still there. He sighed in relief…so the necklace was the only thing missing.

"She's going to be alright," Yzak asked and Dearka looked at him stunned.

Dearka sighed, "She's a fighter…plus she needs to make sure you in line. We can't have you acting all stupid while she is away."

"Thanks," Yzak responded as they had driven the short distance to the medical hospital. Yzak took Shiho into his arms once again as Dearka watched in silence. Dearka then reached for his cell phone in his pocket as he made a phone call to a friend, for he was going to make sure both of his friends would stay safe.

"Zala here…"

"Athrun, it's me Dearka…"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ezalia Jule had walked into Shiho's room to see her son sleeping with his hand holding tightly onto Shiho's. She smiled as she sat down on a nearby chair; Dearka had called her about the whole incident and made it her duty to rush over to the hospital to see how they were doing. Shiho had some color in her face but it would be some time before it fully returned. She didn't have the heart to wake up her son and watched the scene before her; it brought back happier memories of Yzak's childhood and of his father. How the time flies…here her son was in love and it was apparent he wasn't going to give up on her either. He is so much like his father; he has his looks but has some of my good genetics. Ezalia stood up and was going to leave when she saw Heindrich and Carolina Hahnenfuss before her. Ezalia curtly bowed her head and took her leave when Carolina stopped her.

"How is she," Carolina asked softly.

Ezalia looked over her shoulder, "They said she will need much rest. Other than that she is fine and she has been given doctor's orders not to return to work for at least two weeks."

"I see," Carolina said as she looked at her sleeping daughter. "He loves her very much…"

Ezalia turned around to see the woman fully, "Yes he does. I didn't get a chance to talk to him but Dearka filled me in on the story."

"Well, it because of HIM that our daughter is in this condition," Heindrich said darkly. "After all it would seem that whoever it is thinks the two shouldn't be together, how nice that someone shares my ideas."

"Heindrich," Carolina gasped at her husband's behavior.

Ezalia had it, "You bastard! You are the reason my husband's not here and you take your self pity out on me and my son? We're the ones who are suffering not you, I have to live each day without my husband and my son without his father much longer than Shiho has. You two have each other, and what do I have? You stand there and act all mighty about it! How dare you! YOU FUCKING BASTARD HOW DAR YOU!"

Yzak hearing the commotion woke up and Shiho had also stirred at the sound. Shiho saw her parents along with Ezalia there; Yzak motioned for her to stay in bed. Yzak went to the open door way unnoticed as his listened to his mother's words, "You never came to the funeral or paid your respects and you called yourself his best friend? After he died, you honored the engagement between our children and Carolina kept a letter in case if you two were to die that Shiho was taken care of and that Yzak married her! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TALK TO ME OR MY SON THE WAY YOU DO NOW!"

"What are you talking about; you were the one that had us sent to that colony! You supported that idiot Zala and here you are telling me about self pity?"

"Shut UP!" Ezalia slapped him as tears flowed down her face, "You're upset because you and I had an affair…isn't it? This is what it's really about…the fact you and I slept together before your divorce was final…after my husband was dead…you're just upset that we had sex. You know what, I told Carolina…I couldn't hold back the truth from her…and you know what, she forgave the both of us. However, you are too wound up in yourself that you can't see past your own damn NOSE!"

Yzak saw the horrified look on Shiho's face and Yzak went to hug her. She held him back in response but she and Yzak had heard the truth between their parents. Not the way they wanted it to be, but it was strange to hear such things coming from them. Shiho let a few tears shed from her eyes as Yzak just held her and Carolina gasped when she realized that the two had heard the commotion between them. Ezalia let more tears fall down her face, her story came out in the open and she felt as if she betrayed her son but he didn't seem like he was too affected by it all. Shiho on the other hand did, she was having enough problems as it be…and now they were giving her more reasons to cry.

"What monsters we have become," Carolina said while shaking her head. "I think all three us finally put this all behind us. Eric would want us to be friends and not enemies in front our children. The past is behind us, and they are our future…even if you were to forbid Shiho from marrying Yzak she would follow her heart…and that's Yzak as Yzak is her heart."

"Just like Eric was mine," Ezalia said sadly and looked down at her finger where once a wedding band was.

"And Heindrich and his stubborn ways are mine," Carolina held her friend's hand. "You and I were always able to get the bone heads to do what we wanted. Now I think we need to make sure our children don't have to make our mistakes." Ezalia smiled…"Let's go see them." Carolina then turned to her husband, "You stay here! I don't want you upsetting our daughter even more than she already is."

"Tell them to go away," Shiho murmured against Yzak's cheek. "Or take me home…" Home? How that word felt so right, her home with Yzak and she sighed. She closed her eyes and clung to him more as she felt him return to her embrace.Ezalia and Carolina entered the room as Heindrich came in but was standing in the corner.

"How are you feeling," Carolina asked as she sat down on the bed as she pulled a little bit away from Yzak.

"I'm alright," Shiho said softly and looked up at Yzak, "I want to go home."

Yzak smirked, "You'll go home soon enough, woman. Right now you need to rest."

"Don't call me woman," Shiho pouted as Ezalia smiled.

"You know Yzak; you're starting to sound like your father…" Yzak looked at his mother in surprise. "And if Shiho is anything like me or Carolina when we were your age, she is going to beat you to a pulp."

Carolina laughed, "Oh I remember those stupid fights between you and Eric. Eric suffered enough…"

"The couch is very comfortable, or made to be comfortable…"

"Or tease them beyond control until they can't hold it any longer."

"Or when we couldn't them our usual good dinner…"

"Don't give her any ideas," Yzak warned darkly and Shiho smiled as she caressed her face softly. Yzak glared at his fiancée, "I don't need you getting any ideas when I take you home."

"When we get home, I'm going to make sure you remember who is the boss," Shiho said softly as her mood was slowly brightening up even though she didn't want to see her mother…but she could never stay mad at her mother too long. And they were opening up about their past together, if their mothers could make amends this quickly than so could she. Besides…she had Yzak with her, where could she go wrong?

"Damn it woman, I think you and I have to discuss those ideas running through your head," Yzak grumbled.

"Oh don't worry; you'll still have plenty of…" Shiho leaned up into his ear and made him turn bright red.

"She said something really awful," Carolina said with a smile.

Ezalia nodded, "Probably something along the lines of sex."

Heindrich grumbled and walked out of the room. Yzak sighed and figured he needed to make some smooth sailing between him and his future father-in-law. Yzak bent over and kissed Shiho's lips and she smiled brightly. Yzak got up and left the room to follow after Heindrich. Heindrich saw Yzak and he did admit guilt over whelmed him looking at the spitting image of Eric walking towards him. It clenched his heart as he recalled those days of his best friend and sighed as Yzak came up to him seemingly uncomfortable. Maybe Ezalia was right…maybe anger and guilt that he felt against himself had been keeping him the way he was towards Ezalia and now Yzak.

It was time to make things right and his daughter happy…
