Save My Broken World
Hello! I loved your reviews! Please continue to write them! Me Myself and I thank you!! And a LITTLE note about that last sentence of chapter 18. I purposely didn't say who Karmain was talking to. I decided to let you guys guess on your own whether it was the shadowed guy or Heero. ;) Seems a lot of you thought it was Heero. Well, you'll see soon which it was! Hope you aren't mad or disappointed when you find out who! Thanks everyone! Here's the next chapter, for you!
*"'Old Nemesis,' hunh?" said the now unshadowed man. "So you ended up needing to tell them that story we made up. Did they believe it?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heero pulled Quatre with him behind some barrel to keep them hidden. They continued to listen to the exchange of words.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Karmain smirked with a haughty look. "Of course they did. That dope of a King, it's so easy to play on his emotions. Remember, I told you about that whole thing he does to himself, believing-"
"No man he hires can be bad." The man cut him off, finishing the sentence. "Yeah, I remember. That King will be so easy to conquer. We just need to keep the Scanran King from getting word that the war isn't suppose to be going. I took care of that other letter the King tried to send. He sent a personal servant to deliver it. And lets just say the King now has one less peon to work for him."
"So nothing has been sent since?" Karmain queried.
"Nothing. The King hasn't figured it out yet, and by the time he does, things will be too far along to stop the Scanran army from attacking Lancetta."
"And once the Scanran King is done conquering, we release the poisonous gases at night, killing what is left of the army and behead the King. We'll be victorious, and Mamoru and Motoki will be co-rulers of the two lands." Mamoru couldn't hide his anxiousness.
Motoki grinned evilly. "And of course from there, we continue to conquer, and expand our territories to the ends of the earth. It will be a dawning of a new age."
"That reminds me," his eyes began to burn with desire, "Remember that Usagi girl that I told about. You know the one I wanted to-"
"Yeah, yeah. I remember her, and what you wanted to do with her. I'd rather do that with many wenches than have my own personal one, but whatever."
"Anyway, she didn't die." He smiled wildly.
"No?"
"No. She apparently lived in Sadhaj while I thought she was dead. She ended up coming back to Lancetta and showing her King some papers she took from my bag. It would have been the end of me, but I told the story, and now I'm off the hook. He thinks I was framed, just like Usagi was. Her name was cleared too by the way. Good thing to, her death would have been a waste of a perfectly good pair of breasts." You could practically see the saliva dripping from his mouth.
"Mamoru, get your mind out of the gutter. I've better things to do than listen to your fantasies." He rolled his eyes with disgust.
Mamoru shook his head, effectively changing his course of thoughts. He started again, "Well anyway, over there, in Lancetta, there is nothing to worry about. Except Usagi and the guy she's courting, I think his name was Heero. I didn't catch a family name. I know they think I made up the story, and they were spitting flames about the king letting me go. So, we'll have to watch out for those two. I know they completely suspect me. And later I'll tell you Heero's appearance, incase he decides to come to Scanra."
Motoki approved with a nod. "Alright. And no one here suspects a thing. The King is ready to proceed as planned, like you suggested to him. He's trying to have his army ready within two weeks. After those two weeks are done ticking, we need only let them ambush, wait until the end of the battle, which Lancetta will surely lose, and commence with the murders of the rulers. All said and done, we win, and our empire is brought to life." Motoki couldn't wait for that day, neither could Mamoru.
"So, when is the next time you need to speak with me?" Mamoru queried.
"I'm not exactly sure. I'll have one of my men retrieve you if I need anything more."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He knew then was the time to leave if him and his friend didn't want to get caught.
In a low voice he said to the man next to him. "Come. We need to leave before they come our way, else we're seen."
They exited from behind the barrels and walked down the street, waiting until the two men came out again. But the only one they saw exit the alley and walk down the street was Karmain. Where was 'Motoki'?
Spending ten minutes in the shadows of the cold streets, they felt the area was secure enough to go back to the forest. When they walked by the alley again, they saw not a single soul. Motoki, apparently, left some other way than what he thought was the only way out. He must know these streets well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning, Heero and Quatre woke up early. They would start with their journey home today. And they weren't coming back empty handed. They had learned last night, courtesy to being hidden behind barrels, that there was more going on with Mamoru than just documents. And now that Heero knew what it was, he would stop at nothing to put an end to Karmain/Mamoru's life.

Dear Usagi,
How are you doing, my dear cousin. It's been a while since I last heard from you. Seems as if you lived one of the adventures you always dreamt about when you were younger. You know, with the whole treason thing. Well, also like in your dreams, you made it out alive, which I am grateful for. I couldn't live with the loss of you, the last of my family. I guess it's true what they say, 'All's well that ends well.'
I'm not sure if you knew this yet or not, but my King is planning war with yours, since he never got back the peace treaties he sent. He's getting his army ready to attack in two weeks. I hope you'll stop them. That Karmain character, whose true name you said was Mamoru, has been lurking around the palace and having meetings with the king. I surmise he is still working as a spy. Other than that, everything has been relatively quiet. I hope what I know will be of some help to you, and Heero. I would like to visit you before my King sends his armies, you know, just incase something goes wrong. I don't know if the king will let me off, but I'll try. Take care of yourself.
Love,
Trowa
PS: I may be a guy, but I still like gossip. Let me know what goes on now that you and Heero are courting!
Usagi laughed when she read the last sentence. Trowa had always been the quiet one that wanted to know anything juicy that went on in someone's life, especially hers. He still hadn't changed after the years. She was glad.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That night she lay awake wondering when she would get to see Heero again. Her tired mind then began to plague her with unanswerable questions. Was he injured? Had Mamoru caught him? Did Heero find out anything worth while, for traveling all the way to Scanra? What if Mamoru came back before Heero did? She still remembered how he had looked at her when they first met, and how he had looked at her when he first walked in the room when her and Heero tried to get him executed. Would he try anything if he was back? Questions continued to plague her until her tired body couldn't stay awake any longer. She slept soundly the rest of the night.*
