She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years, she was here
And I took her for granted
I was so cavalier
And the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I've learned too late
And…
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned in decision, and cursed pride
Kept my love for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life

Chapter 7

Heero and Duo walked in the large meeting room of Zechs' palace. Zechs was seated at the head of the table. Duo approached the table and took a seat close to Zechs and crossed his legs. Heero did not bother to move much from the door and leaned against the wall near it.

"You probably know why I called you here, right?" Zechs began, placing his now crossed hand in front of his face.

"I don't…someone managed well to keep secrets from me!!" Duo replied glaring at Heero.

"Well, I want to break the Law that has been just passed." Zechs answered Duo.

"So why do you need our help? You can manage putting this law down all by yourself!" Duo now looked confused. He was somewhat awaiting for Heero to answer him too, but he just stood calmly by the door with his eyes closed.

"You don't understand! I stand against this law, but the diplomats and politicians all voted for it, except me of course!" Zechs said.

"Ah, so why do you want us to do? It's not like we can go and slap their hands for doing such a thing!" Duo replied.

"No, you can't, but you can help me…that is if they want to go to war!" Zechs said coldly.

"Oh, no, I am not going through another one!!! I've had enough for the past few years and I want to live peacefully now!! Besides, remember, we kind of destroyed all our Gundams after the battle with Mariemaia!" Duo was getting ready to leave, as he got up from his seat and began walking to the door, until stopped at Heero's remark.

"I'll do it!" he said plainly.

"What??? How can you?? With what mobile suits??" Duo snapped at him. He rubbed his head. "Heero you realize that we came here as contest winners and when they find out that we're fighting against them, it'll make it look more uglier that it already is! You can't lose this new look you gave yourself in matter of hours!"

"Duo, I have to negotiate first, we might not have to fight!!" Zechs said.

"Like hell we won't!! I thought you'd know that before us!! You and Mr. I'm-willing-to-risk-my-life-just-for-the-hell-of-it became irrational over the years!!" Duo said coldly.

Zechs and Heero did not reply. Zechs looked down ashamed of what he might say and Heero still in a cool fashion, but knows that he has become irrational as well as softer…both of them.

"Anyways, Thank you Heero!" Zechs broke the silence.

"I cannot believe this!!" Duo yelled as he walked out of the room.

"I'm not doing this for you, Zechs, I'm doing it for Relena and her sake only!" Heero said with his eyes closed as he followed Duo.

"I know," Zechs whispered to himself. He looked again down. He finally realized that they were going to leave before he got a chance to show them what he had to. "Wait!" he yelled.

Heero stopped, but Duo kept moving.

"Duo, please!" he asked.

Duo turned around, hands still in his pockets. "I have no further business here!" he said sadly. "I've always wanted a peaceful universe so we could live all happily, but I guess you Gundam fighters can't really accept that, can you?"

"You forget you are a Gundam pilot too!" Zechs said.

"It wasn't by choice!!!" he yelled. Noin and Sept awoke because of Duo's yelling. They reached the top of the stairs.

"Zechs, what's going on?" she asked plainly.

"Nothing, Lucrezia, take Sept back and go to sleep," he answered.

"I'll put Sept back to sleep and I'll come back," she said.

"No, Lucrezia, please, leave us!" was all he could manage out of his mouth.

"I will not!!" she shouted softly.

Duo noticed her holding the bottom of her stomach. She didn't show yet, but he knew she liked to hold her stomach that way when she was pregnant with Sept. He shaked his head.

"Unbelievable!! You have a son and another one coming on the way, and you want to endanger them!! How can you think like that?" Duo said, scratching his head because his bangs have been irritating him.

"I don't know how to think anymore!!" Zechs said, walking to a seat near him. "I don't know which family to think about first! I want to do this for Relena, but I'm putting Noin and Sept, and the other one, in danger!! I am so confused," he said placing his elbows on his knees.

"Then don't do it! Please, Zechs, don't! Don't worry about Relena, Heero is here to stay!" Duo approached him.

"Duo, I am not only doing this for Relena. I'm doing this for the little girl I met on the shuttle and the little girl that I accidentally killed," Heero had fists formed already. "I'm doing this for all the people who are the victims of this so-called Law!"

"A lot of people will be the victims of this war, if it actually happens!" Duo said as he noticed Noin coming down tying her robe.

"What war? Zechs?" she asked as she reached the last step.

"Your husband wants to…" Duo was stopped when Zechs nudged him. He looked down on Zechs. His eyes told him 'Please don't'.

Noin of course saw that and wanted to know terribly. "Zechs, I want to…no, I demand to know!" she said, her hands at her hips.

"Noin, I'll tell you everything later," was Zechs reply.

"Milliardo Peacecraft, tell me or you'll regret it!" she said coldly.

Zechs was surprised that Noin called him that. He stood up and faced her. "I…I…" he couldn't finish it.

"May I?" Duo asked Zechs. He gave him a nod and he went on. "You probably know that 'Milliardo Peacecraft'…what a noble name…" he said as he glared at Zechs. "…wants to erase that law they just passed, and believes that there might be a war as a result of it! So he rounded Heero and I to fight with him," Duo explained.

"I knew this was going to happen!" Noin said. She noticed the sun beginning to rise from a nearby window. 'The sun is rising…how ironic..' she thought. "And you're willing to go along with this Duo?" she continued.

"No, of course not! Like what happened before we fought a war, just as soon as it finished another one began! And I want this peace…at least there is no rebellion going on!" he replied.

She nodded. She turned to Heero. "And you?" she asked.

He looked her way and she knew her answer. She nodded again. "Since only you two are here, we will need the rest to come up with a smart plan to avoid as much commotion as possible," she said.

"No, that will be too many people knowing!" Zechs popped up.

"Oh, welcome back! Why not?" she asked hands on her hips again.

"We want to keep this quiet as much as possible!" Zechs replied.

"I don't know if you recall, Zechs, but when this palace was raided, the five worked well and kept it as quiet as possible!! And they all managed to succeed!" she said.

Zechs said nothing and stood by Duo lost. Noin felt sorry for him and approached him. "I know you're nervous and you agree with Duo, but let me handle this for once and I can do it, believe me!!" she said as she placed her hand on his warm face.

"Thank you, Lucrezia," he said as he gave in.

"Hey, what are wives for?" she said as that made Duo and Heero look at each other sadly. They both then looked on the floor. Noin noticed that too. She approached and placed a friendly hand on his shoulder. "Just for your sake, we'll try to avoid it as much as possible!" she said smiling at his face.

She then walked to Heero and lifted his face up. "Heero, your first mission is to round up the others! Only the people you can trust!" she ordered. Heero nodded. "If they have any conflicts with coming here, Zechs will speak to security! So you'll be with them here tomorrow, right?" she asked.

He nodded again. He began to walk to the door and Duo followed him. He suddenly stopped and stopped Duo. "What is it?" asked Duo. Noin turned their way from walking to Zechs. Heero placed his index finger on his lips. "What is it?" whispered Duo.

"Heero?" Noin was now puzzled. Zechs now looked their way too.

Loud banging was heard. Someone was banging on the door. They heard mean talking out side.

"Open the door!!! Open it right now!!" was heard from the other side of the door.

"Hurry, this way you two!" Zechs called out. He ran out of the large entrance to a dark hallway nearby. He suddenly stopped and looked at Noin. "Noin, open the door like there is nothing going on!" Noin nodded and Heero and Duo followed Zechs.

He led them to a long dark staircase down. They all went down carefully. They finally reached a room that was well lighted. Heero and Duo could see two gigantic figurers covered with large ivory sheets. They couldn't help but look up.

Zechs approached the first figure and pulled the sheet down. He uncovered Tallgeese.

Duo was now not happy at all. He walked to the other figure and uncovered it too. It was Epyon. Heero understood what he had to do now.

He ran towards Epyon and climbed up. Duo looked on in surprise. He didn't move, just kept looking up.

"Duo, hurry the hell up!!" Zechs shouted. Duo shaked his head. "Come on, we don't have time!" Zechs finally walked towards Duo and pulled him from his hair. Duo was screaming and cursing at Zechs. Zechs let go of him when he reached Tallgeese. "Now, climb up!" Zechs ordered.

Duo shaked his head again. He heard the sound of the foot steps stomping upstairs and looked at Zechs. "I have to get back upstairs!! Get going!" Zechs said running towards to the staircase and climbing swiftly.

Duo finally gave in and climbed in. They both flew off. Duo scared of what might happen and Heero scared of what might the Epyon do to him. JASMINE MAXWELL-YUY: OKAY, NOW REVIEW!!!
