The Death of Lucrezia Noin, the Birth of
Luca Firoin Pt. 2
Zechs sat back and stared in shock at the letter. This had to be some kind of joke. Any minute Noin would pop out from behind the door and laugh at him for falling for it. But the sick feeling in his stomach wasn't going away. Not to mention the fact that no one would go to such extremes to pull a prank on him. Now that he thought about it though, he hadn't seen Sally Po since yesterday either.
He folded the letter carefully and put it in his uniform jacket, picking up hers too, glaring at the conflicting thoughts running through his mind. 'So Lady Une knew and I didn't, huh? That means that she probably knows where Noin and Sally went. She'll tell me. Noin must be just exaggerating the importance of this mission. And what did she mean when she said my sister was going to be with them? They had better not put themselves in danger.' He brooded darkly, getting angry that he had been left out of whatever this conspiracy was. Angry, too, that he still didn't know what was going on. 'But she said that she loved me.' He stopped at this thought, pausing in front of the cafeteria. 'She thinks I'm in love with Marina? Great. I knew I should have gotten rid of that leech months ago.' 'And now you've lost Noin, too.' an annoying voice whispered at the back of his head.
"No!" he whispered back sharply aloud. Zechs was about to continue on to the elevator and Lady Une's office when he heard Noin's name through the swinging doors of the cafeteria. He put his back against the door and turned his head so that he could see the speaker but that person couldn't easily see him and he listened.
".Yeah! I heard. Lady Une announced her reassignment at breakfast, but the weird thing is that Sally Po went with her instead of Zechs. Isn't that strange?"
"Why would it be strange? She has no claims on him, and I do so naturally Lady Une didn't want to break us up. Maybe I'll be assigned as his new partner!" Zechs cringed as he recognized his 'girlfriend's' voice.
"Oh, give it up, Marina, everyone knows those two were meant for each other. I don't know why they don't just make it official and get married." There was a murmur of agreement from the other people in on the discussion. Zechs' eyes widened at that statement.
"Do you know, I think Zechs is the only one who doesn't realize they're in love. I'm not sure why he even puts up with you, Marina."
"Shut up! He doesn't put up with me, he loves me! And I certainly don't see what you do between him and that woman!"
"Poor girl is in denial." a new recruit that had been marked as refreshingly sassy mused. "I've only been here a couple months and even I can see it. You shouldn't hide from the truth just because you want to be a 'princess'." She snorted at the idea.
"I heard that they left without a word to anyone except Commander Lady Une, and she won't tell anyone. Another thing is; why didn't Wufei go with them if Sally is his partner? Did they do a switch on us and we just didn't know it?" The sassy girl's partner inquired.
"Of course not, smart one, I 'm still stuck with you aren't I?" She replied sarcastically. The people in the lunchroom laughed and teased the unlucky guy. "Ugh, what is this stuff? It tastes like mud! They call this coffee?! Where's the caffeine? That is."
Zechs stopped listening and continued down the hall, taking the elevator up. 'Well it seems I was the only one not informed that Noin and I are soul mates. How could I not have suspected all this? Lady Une may not tell curious individuals where Noin and Sally are but she will tell me- she had better.' His eyes narrowed in anger, mostly at his own lack of comprehension. 'Or else.'
