A/n: due to the over whelming responses to the posting of the last chapter, here's more. And, I'm going to say now, I'd better get the same reaction form y'all with this latest edition. And yes, there are reasons for that. 1) My moms a bitch, and so are my employers, yet I'm placating them all while typing this. 2) finals are in week, and I'm typing this. 3) My right wrist (and might I mention I'm right handed) is currently wrapped, due to the fact it is bruised and twisted. So REVEIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And READ AUTHORS NOTE AT BOTTOM! Here the thankies. Ohs, and anyone who wants to pester me, my yahoo instant messenger name is angel080699 and my AIM is Nymph Demon. So pester at will.

Kitty: Sorry about the length of the chappies, but I can't do much to change that now. The whole stories already hand written. And I'm so proud I got you to review! *Gives kitty a cookie for reviewing* Oh, and more Sexy Zechy in chappie 10!

Reboo: like I said, chappie nine is my fav of the all. And I cant wait for France!

KaT: tehe. One of my personal fav mental images of him, might I say. That him with handcuffs…………………

Chibi Noin: As always, you kick as. Although, no more sugar for you. And review and this should be done before I leave. For my next fic of these two, I was thinking Noin being Zechs slave…………………..

Onward ho!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It was 5 O'clock in the morning and Zechs had never been more grateful to a stranger in his life. With a pilot who had been sworn to secrecy, he had been able to spend the night on the carrier sound asleep with his wife in his arms. He was barely awake now, hovering in that delightful area that is somewhere between sleep and conciseness, well aware of the woman who was snuggled in deep slumber against his chest.

The communications screen on the wall by the bed blinked on, calling Zechs the rest of the way out of the fuzzy cocoon of sleep. The face of a young soldier appeared.

"Sir, we will be landing in the next hour." After Zechs murmured his thanks, he turned off the screen only to have it turn on again. This time it was Wufei's face that appeared.

"Already in your suit, Wufei?"

"Anything to escape that accursed woman. The thought that anyone willing married her….."

"Wufei, how many times have you been told not to speak of her like that?" Zechs laughter took any sting there might have been in his rebuke out of it.

"I'm sorry, but you simply don't sound threatening at all when you're laughing. Now, wake up your wife and check out these new upgrades. Betty out did herself this time!" With that rare bit of praise, Wufei's face blinked out as he broke the communications line. 

Zechs turned to the woman in his arms. With a gentle grin playing his lips, he lowered them until they lightly touched hers. "Hello, luv. Decide to join the living?" He enwuired softly when her eyes fluttered open. She stuck her tongue out at him as she straightened until she was sitting up in his arms, cradled against his chest. As he held, Zechs was struck by just how lucky he had been to find a woman as perfect as Noin. One he could love so fully and loved him in return.

"I love you. No matter what happens, I will always love you."

Noin studied the man who held her close to his heart, both literally and figuratively, and was overwhelmed by the feeling of rightness that she was his.

They both kept their feelings with them as they got ready for their mission.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Two hours later, the gundams and their pilots stood in the middle of the desert, on the border of the bases immediate grounds and the internal radar boundaries. Wufei grinned and leaned back in his seat. "This is going to be easier than cracking open an uncooked egg." Following his announcement he flipped a switch on his main control panel and stepped forward.

Duos grinning face appeared on the communications screens of the other gundams." And crack it did. Thanks to handy bit of hacking I swear I didn't do, the internal computer banks are now accessible." As he said this, his face was replaced with a view of a computer screen. The other pilots knew better than to try and access any data, as it would cause detection. The screen flicked on to a panel of coding that when read correctly stated that the radar system had been shut down due to immense internal errors.

"Duo!" The outburst had come from several pilots at once. "You know that by hacking this far into a computer bank, your odds of getting caught are extremely high!" This time, just Quatre had spoken.

"Quatre, Quatre, Quatre! You should know by now, Q-man, that I have yet have been caught while hacking. I doubt that my rather impressive record is about to be broken."

"I don't care, Duo! You should know better!" This time, it was Heero doing the reprimanding.

Duo grinned a devil-may-care grin and relied with a lazy "You can spank me later."

Une broke into the exchange with a sigh. "Stop flirting you two and try to behave already. Noin, go have fun."

"I plan on it Une." With that, Noin moved off silently into the desert.

A/n: I'm not to good at the computer thing, so I anything was wrong with the whole hacking bit, you'll have to excuse me. I'm sorry I took so long to post this, but I couldn't type much for several days because of the wrist I mentioned earlier. I also realized I'm an idiot and that there is one more chappie after this then the epilogue. I apologize for temporarily being an idiot with counting probs. And I need 4 reviews for this chappie before I post chappie nine (bringing the total to 30). And since nine is my personal fav of all the chappies, please REVIEW!!!! And remember, if I don't have this whole thing up or the necessary number of reviews for chappie 10 up by May 29th, I leave for month and there will be no posts for one month.
