CHAPTER 2 Dead Loved Ones By Onna OojiIt's been 3 months since the disappearance of Lucrezia Noin. You see a teenaged Chinese soldier looking out the window of a meeting room at Preventers Headquarters'.
"I'M SO BORED!! I haven't gotten an assignment in over a month! Warriors…" his ranting is cut off by someone yelling his name.
"Wufei!!" Wufei nearly falls out of his chair.
"ONN… (Say Sally) SALLY, don't do that!" he says while staring out the window, at the garden.
"Wufei? Is something bothering you?"
"You mean other than the fact that make a fuiuchi on me, every morning?" asks sarcastically.
"Wufei, I'm serious! What's wrong?" Sally says with a bit of concern, in her voice.
"Nataku" he mutters as he remembers a 14-year-old, dead in his arms, in a garden.
"Your Gundam?" asks Sally. "Why-"
"Leave me alone!" he yells at her while her face is full of concern. He takes one pace back when seeing her face. "Don't look at me like that! I'm not a weakling that needs help with personal conflicts anymore!" He storms out of the room.
"When did I call him a weakling and say that he has personal conflicts?" Sally contemplates to herself. She runs out the room to catch-up with Wufei. "All I wanted to tell you was that you have an assignment. Preventer Wind had reported that our agent, Lucrezia Noin, had disappeared, about 3 months ago."
"And let me guess, he has gone off the deep end 'cause he can't find her." says Wufei sarcastically. Sally glares at him.
"Here's all the information we have on the situation from Relena and Zechs." Sally hands him the paper.
"This assignment is for me? … Would I be working with Zechs … I mean Preventer Wind?" Wufei asks while arching an eyebrow.
"Yes…"
"But he'll be hysterical!!!!!!!!!" Wufei says look on his that face made it apparent that he was restraining himself from yelling.
"He knows how to stay relaxed in tough situations. Anyway, he's been working on this for two months already. He's out to bring the people who kidnapped Noin to justice and I know you just love doing that!" Sally says with a quirk on her face.
"*Groan* Allllllllllright. I'll help." Wufei says reluctantly. "But only to right a wrong. Only to bring us closer to justice and peace for this world." Sally is lifting an eyebrow during his speech.
"That's nice Wufei, I get it." She sounds kind-of annoyed and Wufei, (for some reason that goes beyond my knowledge of his character), changes the subject to...
"So Sally, is their anything new going on in your life? Dating anyone?" asks Wufei. "Why did I just say that out-loud?" Wufei thinks when realized what he just said and notices a very pink-faced Sally.
"I'll replay what happens and take screen shots later… hehe…… I wonder how Lady Une and Mariemeia are dealing with the loss of…
"Une-sama, can I see the pictures of you and my dad again?" asks little Mariemeia with a tired look on her face.
"How 'bout tomorrow night? It's late and you should get some sleep," replied Une, "anyway, you have school tomorrow."
"But I'm not tired. I promise to go to sleep after, I promise!" protests Mariemeia.
"No. If you want I will show you them it the morning. Alright?" says Lady Une.
"Alright." Mariemeia replies in defeat.
"Now it's time for bed. See you in the morning." says Une as she tucks-in Mariemeia.
Lady Une walks out of the little girl's room, and goes to her own room. She opens a drawer in the night table with a key that hung around her neck. She takes out a photo album that in titled, "His Excellency".
"Treize-sama, she has your eyes," says Une with a tear rolling down her cheek.
The mysterious solider in the black uniform had a look of sadness on her face.
"I think that I'll make a copy of this picture and give the original picture of Treize at age 13 to dear Une." She places her hand over the picture, there's a bright light and carbon copy of the photo appeared in its place, while the original appeared in her other hand. She places it in an envelope and addresses it: "To Lady Une".
Meanwhile, another shadow is watching her laptop. It presses its finger up against screen while it is viewing Une. You could even say the figure is caressing it.
"Is that okay with you?" she asks the shadowy person. It nods its head. Then it thinks…
"Wait-a-minute, did she say age 13?" it thinks, and pries its face from the screen and glares at the soldier.
"Nan desu ka?" she says with a smirk on her face.Questions? Comments? Reply to OnnaOoji@aol.com
