Child of Death
016: You Fail
The others woke and sat in the living room all eating cold cereal not wanting really to be cheered up. Quatre tried several time to talk but his words always failed him. Heero did not wake up at his normal time he woke up around nine and didn't not check his Gundam, they all stayed close.
Koran began coming out around nine thirty trying to not make noise as he went to go down the stairs. But see there faces made him push himself to go all the way down. He couldn't stay quiet; the stairs began to creek as if the mansion was a hundred years old. All there attention looked at him and right away he didn't want it.
"Koran your back when did you get in?" Quatre was the first to start the questions. With no answer he went over to Duo and sat in his fathers lap feeling tears come.
"Dad I had no choice." He choked out and wrapped his arms around his father.
"Koran what happened, were is Kies?" Trowa's question didn't get far after Duo flinched at Koran's grasp. Heero said nothing but stood to check the hanger.
"I didn't want to, why did I have to?" His question and sobs made Duo was trying not to keep from crying as well.
"It's alright." Was all he could get out when Heero walked in head down, trying not to get anyone's eye. They stayed quiet except for Koran for about an hour and a half. A ring came and no one moved.
"Master Quatre a call for Koran on the vid-phone it is Professor C." Rashid pressed a button on the vid-phone in the living room and a woman with black hair and brown furious eyes as they met Duo and a quivering Koran.
"Maxwell let go of him and you get your sorry excusse for a body over hear!" Duo didn't want to let go but Koran pushed away.
"Yes Professor."
"This is a very big disappointment."
"I don't understand Mame."
"Your mission was a great accomplishment for you but as for your sister explain yourself."
"I can't; I don't know what answer you want."
"Maxwell get over here." Duo stumbled forward and placed his hands upon his son's shoulders which came to Duo's waist.
"I'll be expecting him on earth tomorrow at my office. Yuy I am expecting you to bring the two of them to me." She glanced at Koran while she spoke the words to a mission ready Heero. The vid-phone went off and Rashid stood stunned.
"Young Seta did not come back?" Koran moved so fast and was out of sight and sound, no one fallowed him knowing he needed time.
Koran came in and out not talking and eating only a little bit. When he went to do something he always ran into one of the other pilots only getting away from them around six, since he hid himself in one of the two pool areas. He swam lap after lap so he could brace himself for tomorrow.
