The Children of Peace Chapter Two"Where are you going?!"
"L1."
"What for?"
"Business."
"Business? What business does a PE teacher have on L1?"
Heero slammed his suitcase shut and spun to face his daughter.
"I'm trusting you with this house while I am away, can I do that?"
"Why are you going? Why wont you answer my questions?"
"Coz then I would have to kill you."
"Father!"
Heero placed a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry. I can't tell you, it's too important."
The way he said it made Shinko ask.
"Are you coming back?"
"Nothing could stop from returning to you."
"You are making this sound like a final goodbye."
"It isn't. I should be back in two weeks."
He kissed her softly and then turned and walked towards the door.
"No number? How will I contact you if I get into trouble?"
"Call Relena."
"DAD?!"
"Hai?"
"Promise me you'll come back."
Heero stared at her.
"What…"
"Please."
His face soften and he moved to her and took her into his arms. "I love you Shi, I promise, I will come back."
"I love you too Dad."
Heero kissed her lightly on the forehead before leaving.
The door slammed shut behind Heero and left Shinko alone.
The phone began to ring and she picked it up, the videophone switched on and she was greeted by her cousin's face.
"La-li-ho."
"Ohayo."
"Hey Cameron what's up?"
"Your dad gone yet?"
"Just left."
"Mind if I come stay with you for a few weeks?"
"You can't leave Aunt Lucy without anyone, what if the baby comes early?"
"Aunt Sally is here with the brats."
Shinko laughed. "In that case you better come."
"I'm not there yet Shi."
"Get your mind out of the gutter."
"And into your bed?"
"I'll be getting the spare room ready for you."
"Oh, who will keep me warm at night?"
"You can borrow Shinigami."
"Who's Shinigami?"
"My teddy bear… with devil horns."
"That old thing? You gave it a name."
"Dad gave it a name. I just accepted it."
"I would have chucked it."
"Well that's the different between me and you and stop pouting."
"I'm not."
"Are you coming or not?"
"Just say the word."
"Perve."
"Take it back."
"Peaceout Cam, I'll give you an hour."
"Laters babe."
Shinko tutted as she put down the phone and switched the monitor off.
She smiled at the thought of spending two weeks with Cameron and she hurried upstairs to make up the spare bed.
An hour later there was a knock on the front door and Shinko got up to let Cameron in.
"No funny business now." She told him as he kicked his shoes off before stepping into the house.
"Silly Japanese people."
"Hey!"
"You are American."
"So? My father is Japanese and this house goes by their rules. So shoes off at the door and mediation every few hours."
"You are joking right?" Cameron asked.
Shinko gave him that look.
"Take your shit upstairs. I've just gotten finish a few things."
"Ok."
Shinko watched Cameron walk upstairs.
"Stop staring at my ass."
"You wish."
She turned and headed back into the living room where her laptop was resting on the coffee table. She was finishing off her essay for history.
"What's that about?" Cameron asked, entering the room.
Shinko turned the laptop's screen off and turned to face her cousin.
"Would you believe me, if I told you I knew the gundam pilots?"
Cameron had just sat down on the arm of the sofa; he fell off it with a loud crash and Shinko reached out to steady her laptop.
"What?"
"I know the gundam pilots." She repeated softly.
Cameron stared at her, his dark blue eyes looking right into hers.
"That's impossible. All the records of the gundam pilots have been destroyed."
"Not all of them." She shook her head.
"Where…"
"I went to the Preventers Head Quarters with my Dad. They gave me an all access past into their database. I was looking for information on the Gundam War in AC 195 and in AC 196 and I discovered who they were."
"This is stupid, don't pretend to know something you don't!"
Shinko jumped to her feet.
"I'M NOT LYING!"
Cameron took a step back, "What?"
"I'm telling the truth. I know everything about the Gundams, about Oz, about White Fang. I know all the missions that the pilots went on. I know their lives."
"It's not possible."
"Why wont you believe me? I haven't even got to the unbelievable bit yet?"
"Hit me with it."
"Nani?"
"Hit me with the unbelievable."
She smirked, "Ok. The leader of White Fang, was Zechs Marquise."
Shinko watched her friend fall to the floor in a faint.
Cameron could feel an icy waterfall onto his chest, then a little lower on to his stomach and the lower on to his jeans-clad groin.
"AH!" He sat up straight.
"You're awake."
He fixed Shinko with a glare and she laughed.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Not really. I think it would help if I received a kiss from an angel."
"There is no angel in this room." Shinko said before standing up.
"You are my angel." Cameron said.
Shinko looked down at the boy.
"No, I'm not and I will not kiss you."
Cameron pouted.
"You remember why you fainted right?"
"Yeah, you came up with this most unbelievable story about my dad being the leader of White Fang."
Shinko held out a piece of paper.
"Read this."
She moved away into the kitchen to make some coffee and left Cameron to read the newspaper article that she had copy from the PHQ.
"Oh." He said as she returned with two steaming mugs.
"There is more."
"Yeah, you said you know the gundam pilots."
Shinko sat down on the floor, crossed her legs.
"What do you know about them?"
"There were 5 of them. They destroyed The Libra. They saved the Earth and Space."
"Is that it?"
"Yep."
"I don't know what happened in the war. The newspaper articles are very bias and they don't talk about the actual battles. But I got information on the Gundams Missions. Back during the war day, the gundams were made out to be the bad guys."
"Now everyday, they are praised."
"Because they saved the lives of so many. The gundams always fought for Peace. Maybe I'm being bias now but, in the end the gundams won which means they were always right and they always fought in the name of peace. The gundams saved Earth from an everlasting winter."
Shinko sipped at her coffee.
"Then in AC 196, Mariemaya Khushrenada tried to take over the Earth by kidnapping Relena Peacecraft."
Shinko watched Cameron's face as he recognised the two names.
"Zechs Marquise, Relena's brother and Lucrezia Noin, Sally Poo, with the five gundam pilots, saved Relena and Earth from Mariemaya control."
Shinko fell quiet and drunk some more of her drink. She wondered if he would be able to work out who the gundam pilots were from the small information she had given him.
"Who were they?" He asked.
"The pilots never had names until the end of the war. During the war, they were referred to as 01, 02, 03, 04 and 05. Names they encouraged themselves, they didn't want anyone knowing their true identity. The gundams were given names too. There was Wing Gundam, later replaced by Gundam Wing Zero. There was Gundam Deathscythe, which was later upgraded into Gundam Deathscythe Hell. There was Gundam Heavyarms, and the Gundam Sandrock. And finally there was the Shenlong Gundam, upgraded into Altron Gundam. Your father started off piloting the MS Tallgeese and then become the pilot of Gundam Epyon."
"These are people we know right? The pilots?"
"At the time of the first war, the gundam pilots were only 15!"
"I want to know who they are!"
From underneath her laptop she drew out a picture.
"This was taken a year before I entered my parents lives. It's a picture of the Gundam Pilots."
She handed it over and Cameron took each. His eyes widen at the picture.
"Who is who?"
"Zero One, Heero Yuy."
Cameron touched the face of the pilot of the picture.
"Zero Five, Chang Wufei."
Cameron's hand slipped across the picture to touch Wufei's face.
"Zero Three, Trowa Barton."
Cameron's moved to the boy standing between Wufei and Heero.
"Zero Four, Quatre Raberba Winner."
Cameron traced his finger down to the blonde boy, leaning against Trowa's feet.
"Zero Two, Duo Maxwell."
Cameron moved to the final boy, he was laying across Quatre's legs. He handed the photo back and he looked at her.
"Anything else?"
"Relena was once Queen of the World."
"Why did they hide this from us?"
"I think they wanted peace. They wanted to protect us; they didn't want us to face what they had. They wanted to live normal lives, not be reminded of their past."
"Yea."
They sat in silence for a long while. Both of them lost deep in thought.
It was the ringing of the doorbell that brought them back to the living.
Shinko stood up to answer the door.
"You forgot about our date huh?"
Shinko gazed at the boy, trying to work out who he was.
"Yes. Sorry."
"You wanna still go out or not."
"I'm sorry, mind if I take a rain check? Lets go out tomorrow, k?"
"Nah don't worry. I should have known you would of never gone for someone like me." The boy turned and walked away before Shinko could reply. She moved back indoors and shut the door.
"Wanna get take out?" Cameron asked, holding up the phone.
"Sure."
* * *
"Dad should be home tomorrow." Shinko said, from her place by the oven.
"I'll leave when he arrives."
"Do you think I should tell him that he was a gundam pilot?"
Cameron looked over the newspaper at her. "No."
"Why not?"
"Because he didn't tell you. If he wants you to know he will tell you."
"I guess you are right. Bacon and eggs?"
* * *
Lucrezia and Sally with the four kids in tow arrived at Shinko's house a week later. There had been no word from the fathers.
Cameron answered the door, with big black bags under his eyes.
Shinko stood behind him looking a bad way, her hair was loose and had lost its shine. Her eyes were black from no sleep and were red. She had been crying.
Sally immediately took hold of her and hugged her, she told her not to worry and hurried the girl upstairs to tidy her up, she knew it would make Shinko feel better.
Lucrezia told the kids to go into the front room and watch TV and she turned to her son and told him to go make some coffee while she help Sally with Shinko.
"Mum."
Lucrezia looked at her son. "What?"
"Where are they?"
"I don't know love. Your father said he would be home five days ago and I cannot contact him in anyway. Relena is searching for them. She always has a knack for finding Uncle Heero. She has the best men out there on the job. It wont be long before they find them. Just relax and not worry about it. Shi needs you to be strong." Lucrezia sniffed.
"I'm here for you mum."
Cameron hugged his mother and as she started to cry into his shoulder, he knew it was a lot worst than she was letting on.
* * *
Relena stood up from her desk and moved to the window.
"It's been a week. There's still nothing." She whispered, she rubbed her eyes trying to wake herself up.
The Preventers had been in touch. They had informed her a war was about to break out. They had told her of Heero and the other's mission, She prayed they were safe.
"Relena-Sama?"
"Yes?"
"There's a call for you, on line 4."
"Thank You."
Relena picked up her phone, noticing the vidphone monitor stayed black.
"Hello."
"Relena."
"Heero? Is that you? My god are you all right, are you safe? What…"
"Relena listen to me. The Shadow Army has created an army of mini gundams. Relena you must get to a safe place and take everyone else there too. This is dangerous. They are coming after you. They are after Shi as well. Please Relena, get them safe."
"I will. Heero…"
Heero's voice suddenly disappeared and a new male voice spoke.
"Miss Relena Dorlian-Duffey. Listen to me and listen good, I will say this only once. I am declaring war on the Earth. I will not rest until the whole of Earth is destroyed. I will wipe out your pitiful army by the end of the week. This is the only warning you are getting. I will meet you soon Miss Relena, and the meeting will be all my pleasure."
TBC…
AN/ The fic is moving faster than I thought it would. Oops, oh well, if you think I have just reached the main plotline then you are wrong. I have big plans for the fic… but then I don't know if them plans will ever be carried out.
Thank you for the reviews, please keep them coming!!!
Bye
