Chapter Ten
"NO!"
"Hurry up!"
"No!"
"Is that the only thing you can say?"
"NO!"
"Why do you have to keep on being so difficult!"
"Because I can be!"
"At least you're not saying NO!"
"Shut up!"
"Tell me who did this to you?"
"I know how you are, you're going to make sure whoever did this will pay greatly! Yzak Jule we don't need the whole freakin' office knowing that my former apartment is trash!"
"Shiho Hahnenfuss, if you would just listen to reason for one moment…"
"NO!"
"DAMN YOU WOMAN!"
"BASTARD!"
"Would you two behave already," Heindrich said with a sigh. "You two have been fighting constantly since we brought Shiho her, oh by the way where do you want these?" Heindrich showing Shiho the box labeled movies. Shiho pointed over to where Yzak's huge television screen resided. Heindrich nodded and placed it down there. "You two fight more than Carolina and I."
"What is that suppose to mean," Shiho said with her arms crossed.
"It means stop fighting," Carolina said as she entered Yzak's home. Ezalia was behind her with a few things for Shiho. Ezalia was quite impressed on what her son bought as his personal home, she hadn't had a real chance to take a REAL good LOOK at the place. "You two have been fighting nonstop since we left the hospital. It's getting quite tiresome."
"I couldn't agree more," Heindrich said as he stood up and then quickly took a seat on the couch. "So what's for dinner?"
"What a time to be thinking about food," Carolina laughed as she began her way to the kitchen but was stopped by Yzak.
"I'll make something," Yzak said as he made his way to the kitchen with Shiho following after him.
"Ok, now you spill!" Carolina said pointing a finger at her husband. "What happened between you and Yzak? You two were laughing in the car and everything?"
Heindrich just smiled, "He and I had a talk at the hospital."
"There has to be more than that," Ezalia said as sat down on the love seat. "You two were acting civil, like old friends."
"He is the son of my best friend," Heindrich said with a sigh. "I was able to realized that every time I saw Yzak, I saw Eric. It broke my every being to think that boy has been without his father for so long and I was blaming myself letting the guilt build up. I basically made myself believe that if I distanced myself from Yzak that he would never have to know the truth or hate me like his father might have."
"So did you two call a truce or something?"
"No Carolina, the boy is very wise for his age," Heindrich chuckled. "He said even with the little memories of what he had of his father, he knew that he would never be able to forgive me if I went around being guilty all the time. It was time for me to move on and that he couldn't hate me, being a military man as well he couldn't see how he could stay mad or even angry at me for following protocol. On the battlefield no matter the mission, life is always lost whether by physical means or mentally."
"When did my son get so smart," Ezalia said with a smile on her lips. "I guess the young can really teach us older ones that they aren't as dumb as we think they are."
"I HEARD THAT!" Yzak shouted from the kitchen. The three adults shared in laughter as they began to speak like old friends should, it was amazing that the hot tempered Yzak Jule could work his skills as a negotiator. Yzak smirked as he began putting things out from the refrigerator to create a meal for five people. Shiho was moving about the kitchen to prepare the cooking utensils they would need in order to create their dinner. "I know it was Ruby, but I can't accuse her unless you give me your word to verify it was her. She even took the necklace I gave you for your birthday…"
Shiho paused for a moment and rested her hands on the counter, "I don't want to say anything since I was unconscious at the time. I don't remember much except waking up to the feel of water running over my body and hoping someone would find me."
"Shiho," Yzak called softly. He then wrapped his arms around her body. "I am not letting this go, you were hurt and because of me."
"Stupid," Shiho said as she rested her head against his shoulder, she fit right under chin. They molded together in a perfect fit as the couple stood there for a few moments. "At least I still have our engagement ring…"
"If you're trying to be funny, it didn't work," Yzak said with a grunt as Shiho let out a small laugh.
"Lighten up; at least you and dad are getting along better now…" Shiho said as she kissed him on his lips. Yzak responded happily until he heard someone clear their throat. Yzak pulled away to see his mother with a smirk on her lips. "Hi Ezalia…"
"Are you two going to make dinner or make love," Ezalia teased getting both of the younger ZAFT soldiers to blush an incredibly new bright shade of red. Ezalia laughed as she left the kitchen as the two of them began making dinner.
"We're going to finish this later," Yzak then received a smack on his ass causing him to see a smiling Shiho boiling some water on the stove. Yzak smirked, Shiho still had that fire in her…and he was going to make sure it never died out … ever.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"HELLO!" Yzak groaned and put an arm over his eyes. He didn't want to know what time it was or who it was yelling in his house. He felt Shiho bury her face into his chest, he smiled at the memory of last night. The two of them had plenty of energy left but figured it was best to sleep…since that was what night time was usually used for anyway. Shiho had said something but it was muffled against his skin, he enjoyed the feeling of her lips gently brushing him as she spoke. "HELLO! ANYONE HOME!" What a persistent bastard! Yzak growled even more wrapping his arms around Shiho and hoping to get buried in bed. He quickly pulled the blankets to securely cover Shiho at the very least, whoever it was did not need to see his fiancée in the current state she was in.
"Yzak, where the hell are you," Dearka shouted as he opened the door to see Yzak and Shiho in a very comfortable position. In behind came in Athrun whose eyes turned in saucers. "My, my…what an interesting situation we have here!"
"Dearka," Yzak barked as Shiho though awake snuggled closer into Yzak's body. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"I brought Athrun over," Dearka said with a smirk on his lips. "First I find Athrun with Cagalli in a very intimate position and now I see you and Shiho….damn, it's just one of those days."
"We'll be in the living room," Athrun said pulling Dearka out and closed the door behind him.
"Damn Elsman," Yzak cursed as he detangled himself from Shiho who moaned in disappointment.
"Do you need to entertain him," Shiho said with a whine in her voice.
Yzak chuckled, "If I don't get him out of here we can't have a repeat of last night. Besides he got Zala here, can't waste that idiot's time either."
"Please…" Shiho pouted and Yzak placed a kiss on her lips. "You are a mean bastard!"
"Sorry beautiful, I need to get to work and see what those BASTARDS want," Yzak said getting dressed and walked out of his, no their room. He smiled at the thought of that and walked into the living room to see Athrun red as a tomato and Dearka laughing hysterically. "What the hell did you two want?"
"Good morning to you too," Athrun said as he grumbled. "Dearka called me and asked me to help out about your fiancée's situation."
"Elsman, you didn't go behind my back did you," Yzak asked darkly as anger was evident in his face.
"Athrun has more influence now since he got married to Cagalli," Dearka said simply. "Also, since the other camera that were working did show Ruby leaving with Shiho…it's enough to prove she set it all up and might do more to Shiho later."
"What about the necklace," Athrun quickly asked. "Has that been found?"
"No," Dearka said with a shrug. "It's only been a few days and without Shiho telling us that she suspects Ruby we can't do anything against her."
"I see, I guess we just have to observe her behavior," Athrun said simply. "However before the clean up at Miss Hahnenfuss's apartment there were messages suggesting this woman has an obsession with Yzak."
"I don't know why," Dearka said and Yzak gave him a dark look. "I mean, it was apparent that he would end up with Shiho on the way they argued like an old married couple."
"Shudda up!" Yzak shouted about ready to strangle Dearka when Shiho came stumbling out with a sheet wrapped around her body. Her hair was a mess and it was obvious what she and Yzak had been up to. Yzak growled at her unwillingness to dress in clothes versus just showing off her very luscious body in a sheet. Must not think of sex while unwanted guests here. I'll punish her later for walking out like that.
"Well, hey, hey, hey! Look at the future Mrs. Jule already marching around in a sheet, so what did you two kids do last night," Dearka teased and Shiho got an angry look as did Yzak. "Hey settle down now…nothing wrong in knowing you two are very close and intimate."
"I suggest you shut it," Yzak warned the tanned blonde as Shiho moved to stand behind Yzak. "And you shouldn't be prancing around in that."
"I can't find my clothes," Shiho said sheepishly. Yzak had it dawn on him and stood up, he gathered Shiho into his arms to carry her bridal style to the spare guest room he had. He figured one of their parents had placed it there during the move. Shiho was placed back on her feet and gently pushed into the room as the door closed behind her. "You monkey!"
"MONKEY?" Yzak bellowed as he marched back to the living room as Athrun and Dearka both had amused looks on their faces. "Don't even think about saying whatever the hell you were going to say!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"How was it," Cagalli asked putting down a document she was looking over for Orb. Athrun sighed as she took a seat next to her as Shiho and Yzak came in after him. "I take it not so well?"
"Not really Miss Cagalli," Shiho said and Cagalli gave her a menacing look. "Sorry, Cagalli…it's a force of habit."
"Well, is there anything I can do to help?" Cagalli asked as she gave Athrun a kiss who had been eagerly awaiting his welcome back kiss from his wife. "I can set up place for you in Orb."
"I don't think there is a need for that yet," Shiho said softly. "She hasn't really made an attempt on my life…"
"At least you are admitting it was Ruby," Yzak said in a rather, alright extremely grumpy and irritated tone. "We ARE going to file charges and have her removed from the wing…and until we can actually physically find that necklace on her or in her place, there is not much more I can do up here."
"The unfairness of it all," Cagalli said softly. "Well we are up here for a while, so if you need our help with anything I'm sure Athrun could pull a few strings. By the way, how are the elections going?"
"It's been publicly announced I think," Yzak answered flatly. "I haven't been told I need make some kind of public speech, so I am not going to worry or fret over it."
"Moron," Shiho mumbled but not missed. "The idiot thinks he shouldn't do it, and well…quite frankly I think he would be a good Chairman."
"Who asked you," Yzak crossed his arms over his chest.
"Your fiancée is going to say it like it is," Shiho said with a smirk on her lips. "Besides if you don't at least plan on a speech, I will write one for you."
"Athrun could help too, I make him write all of my speeches now," Cagalli said with a sly grin. "Or he gets no sex…" Cagalli and Shiho high fived causing the two men to look at the women with curious glares and then moaned. How did two heroes of ZAFT end up like puddy in these women's hands? Athrun was married, so it was given that he would be like that but Yzak was engaged so it was close enough.
"You know, men are like babies now that I think about it…"
"I must agree," Cagalli said relaxing into the couch ignoring the glares she was receiving from her husband. "But when you get their blood pumping they know how to prove to you that they can be a man."
"You have no idea, especially when one thinks he is a badass and can rule the world," Shiho heard grumbling as Yzak stood up and marched into the kitchen area. Athrun also not wanting to listen to the rest of the conversation got up and went to the kitchen. "Now we got them to leave, what have you found?"
"When I got your phone call I was surprised but I was able to find out a few things thanks to my connections," Cagalli said handing her over the file. "Apparently Ruby is not as innocent as she seems. She has been in need of rehabilitation for quite some time, but has continued to get out of their grips."
"I could never guess that Ruby was like that," Shiho said in a gasp.
"The girl is innocent for the most part until she finds something she wants," Cagalli said with a shrug. "She is dangerous and again I emphasize that it might be better for you to come with me to Orb. I think right now, until there is evidence to prove Ruby was one hundred percent behind it all, there is still a chance you are in danger."
"I am well aware of that," Shiho said softly. "There has been no direct threat to my life, so I will remain here."
Cagalli sighed in defeat, "You are just as stubborn as I am. I will comply to your wishes for now, but at the first sign of trouble I want you to contact me. I want you safe, I don't need you dead…we don't need a crazy Yzak."
Shiho laughed, "No we don't, besides I don't mind that about him…sometimes."
"Yeah, I bet."
"Like you don't have your way with Zala. I bet you have him wrapped around your finger?"
"Oh you bet, all ten of them."
The two women shared in laughter as the men entered the room with drinks in their hands, "What took you two so long?"
Yzak grunted at his wife, "Business…just like you finding information behind my back."
"Oops," Shiho said with a fake look of guilt. "Ok, you so were listening."
"I knew you were up to something," Yzak said as he then pointed at Cagalli. "I didn't figure you would plot with Zala's wife!"
Cagalli rolled her eyes, "The girl asked for help so I gave it to her. What is wrong with that?"
"She is my future wife, I think I have the right to know what is going on with her especially when it comes to her safety," Yzak nearly shouted but Shiho was touched by the sincerity in his words for her safety. "Not only am I her fiancé I am her commanding officer, I have the right to know what is going on."
"Yes you do," Athrun said and moaned. "Welcome to my world, Cagalli tends to keep me out in the dark until too late or I end up figuring it out what is going on."
"Damn us both for falling for such stubborn women," Yzak said crossing his arms and receiving a punch on his arms. "What the hell is that for?"
"I don't like you right now," Shiho said turning her head away from him as her pony tail slapped him across the face.
"Damn woman, your hair," Yzak growled as he tried to spit out a few stands of hair that got stuck to his lip.
"Thank God Cagalli never grew her hair," Athrun whispered to himself and got pinched. "Ouch!"
"Serves you right," Cagalli said with her arms crossed. "I don't think you should be saying such things, after all you are also a very public political figure in Orb…after all you share half the responsibilities remember?"
"Yes, yes…" Athrun sighed, "What did you find out about Ruby?"
"Besides the desperate need for her to be locked up in a mental institution," Cagalli said with an arched eyebrow as Yzak reached for the folder quickly to look over the notes. "She is not healthy, especially when she goes after an obsession, and if theory serves right she'll do anything to get her obsession and competition out of the way."
"Her obsession with Yzak is kind of disgusting, I mean what would she see in his cold attitude that he usually carries," Shiho said still upset.
"The point still remains your life will be in danger sooner or later," Cagalli emphasized. "Not only that, Yzak will probably be in trouble as well."
"I agree," Athrun injected. "Removing her from your wing will not stop her from trying to reach her goal of getting you."
"That just sounds sick," Yzak said thinking about Ruby doing things to him. "Then what can we do then?"
"What can you do," Athrun asked. "Ruby is going to go after you and it's obvious this girl needs help…you should file charges now, especially with this kind of information."
"How could ZAFT have missed this kind of information," Yzak trying to connect the missing pieces. "I mean, there was nothing on her file that she was like this. It just doesn't make sense…"
"Ruby probably had her ways, she studied in information systems, and she probably just found a way to bypass it all." Shiho said softly, "Until we can get to provoke her out in the open these are just letters on a page."
"Are you saying you are going to wait and see how things turn out," Cagalli asked unsure of what these two were thinking. "I strongly suggest you reconsider what you are considering. Calling her out in the open to provoke you is not something I suggest you do, it will not be safe for either of you and think of what the media will do with the announcement of Yzak in the running for Chairman. It could only make the situation worse."
"I know that," Shiho said softly. "The girl I knew was my friend, I can't just turn my back to her."
"I am not saying you need to turn your back to her," Cagalli said and then sighed in defeat. "Just promise me you'll be very careful."
"Shouldn't I be telling you that," Shiho said with a smirk. "You tend to get yourself in trouble quite often might I add."
"Don't remind me," Athrun said with a groan. "She is quite a handful."
"Excuse me," Cagalli muttered darkly. "Last time I checked someone liked their job and the benefits that came with it."
"Oh please, sometimes you are more trouble…."
"Excuse me," Cagalli darkly stood up with hands on her hips. "If I am that much of a burden than you can spend the night with Yzak and Shiho. I am not going to put up with you!"
"Cagalli," Athrun followed after his wife and after the two were from sight Shiho cuddled into Yzak's arms.
"I hope we don't end up like them," Shiho whispered.
"WE won't, we'll be much more aggressive…"
"YZAK!"
