The Child of Death

08: Seta Family

"Mam the whereabouts of 02 and the Gundam are lost." Roku stood in the dinning room. Kies was not yet awake.
"Stop your search, we wait for them." Roku turned to the food that had left out for her to eat. The soldier nodded his approval and walked out, a maid walked in.
"Cre is Kies awake yet?"
"No mam, Queen Relena will be here shortly though, would you like me to wake her?"
"No, not until Relena is about to leave. I will try then." Roku moved across the room to a picture of her father and mother. There eyes in the painting seemed to be real.
Her mother's hands looked so small and fragile compared to those of her fathers. From all there paintings this one seemed like the only one that held true smiles. This Painting looked like Roku's mother was pregnant with her at the time. She moved away from the memories knowing they hurt too much.
"Cre I will be heading over to the conference room now. No one and I mean no one but you are allowed in the room.
"Yes, I understand." Roku left a maid standing in the room.

"Roku it is so good to see you again." Relena and Roku hugged and sat down. Waiting for the words Relena had to say hold her.
"Yes it is good to see you to, any word from the boys?" She wanted to know if she could finally let her heart rest.
"Yes he made it to the safe house. But the solders did not give him any mercy. He is practically blind and his left arm bones shattered."
"He has been quite so they say; Koran even is trying to hide away." Roku's eyes left Relena.
"Cre, what is the word on the Gundam's?" Cre steeped forward. She had black hair and glasses. Her brown eyes shined in the light.
"Yours finished, Koran's needs crystals which 02 has and Kies's is half complete."
"Doctor why must they be involved," Relena stood anger wanted to show but she held it in.
"Until peace, pilots are needed." Cre sat with them; Roku's voice seemed to fail her.
"Roku will you still go threw with it?"
"Roku?" Her eyes were distant.
"Wherever she is she's in danger. But I feel if she's at the safe house she is fine." Roku looked at Cre.
"Gundam Blaze and Kies will be traviling with Relena."
"Cre if needed you may leave to join the doctors." Roku laid her head in her arms on the table.
"I'll get Kies," Cre stood up and walked out.
"Relena give that to Duo when you get there I know he will be worried." She pointed to a small box.
"Sure thing Roku." She went to pick it up when the door opened and Cre and Kies holding a small stuffed cat walked in.
"Mamma is today another speech?" Kies held onto her mother after jumping into her lap.
"For me yes you no, you will be going with Miss. Relena now. Daddy and Koran are waiting for you." Kies tightened her grip, but her eyes tired to hold no worry.
"Roku we'll go now; it will be a while before I get to the boys." Relena went over to them and watched as Roku hugged her daughter tight and kissed her good-bye.
"Bye momma." Kies was put on the ground and grabbed a hold onto Relena's hand and left.
"Bye." Cre walked out behind them, but was pushed back in landing hard on her rear.
"Where is......There you are Princess, ready to go out into another day? What is this that you've called off the search for 02?" Roku backed away, a short musculare man stepped closer and closer to Roku. Her eyes darted to Cre; she was being pushed out by other men.
"Yes I called off the search; if there is no activity why leave our soldiers looking for something in hiding." Roku gave up backing away, she had to stand and make herself not afraid.
"You think differently form what we all think right Princess?" Roku walked toward the man and stopped when he grabbed a hold of her. One of the soldiers handed a needle to the short man.
"Seki what are you doing?" The needle came closer and closer to Roku's neck.
"Fixing our problem," The needle made contact and Roku winced.
"Take her to the lab, will make her listen." Roku was beginning to fade to the ground, Seki looking pleased as they took Roku to the lab three floors down.
