Chapter 16 Back On Track
A/N Gosh, I'm writing this behind my parents' back! I'm not supposed to be using the computer, so pray they don't catch me next time round. Anyway, I'll be taking longer to update, since I've been banned. Pardon me though, enjoy this chappie!
"Finally!" exclaimed Dearka, as he reached the entrance to the Archangel. He leant against the door hatch, breathing heavily from all the vigorous movements.
"Kira, Cagalli, Yzak, Dearka, Kyo, myself, hang on, something's not right." said Athrun doing a headcount for the second time in a row.
The door hatch of the Archangel suddenly flew open, startling the six teenagers, who were gathered outside.
"Oh thank goodness! We were about to conduct a search party for you people!" exclaimed Murrue, hurrying out of the Archangel toward the bunch of teens.
Dearka nearly found himself strangled by a pair of arms wrapped around his neck. "I was worried sick," said Miriallia, her voice trembling continuously.
"It's an even number! When we set out two days ago, we left in an odd number!" Athrun blurted out all of a sudden, his hands flying to his head and making Cagalli jump in fright.
"You're saying someone's MISSING?" asked Kyo nervously, hoping what her half-brother had just realised was just a hunch.
"The CAPTAIN!" yelled Dearka, suddenly remembering Wattfeld, who had also been captured along with them back at PLANTs.
Murrue chuckled softly, making the others turn toward her puzzled. "Have you lost your mind, Miss Ramius? You should be crying!" said Yzak, looking puzzled at their former captain.
"Cool it, people. Need ice bags? I've got some here! Better cool off, or someone might just die of high blood pressure!" laughed Wattfeld, appearing beside Murrue.
"What the hell? How'd you get out?" asked Yzak curiously, his tone becoming more aggressive with each word.
"Knew you'd ask, mate! That one heck of that Maiya woman, freed me a little earlier than you pipsqueaks!" teased Wattfeld, pulling a funny face at the teenage bunch.
Yzak just scowled, and felt Kyo clutch on to his forearm. "Be grateful, we're all alright, Yzak." she whispered into his ear, as she planted a soft kiss on his cheek.
"Why don't al of you just come in, I'm sure you're exhausted." said Murrue leading the restless bunch once more into the safety of the Archangel.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE GONE?" boomed Patrick Zala, catapulting to his feet behind his desk, clearly infuriated at the news he had just received.
"I don't know how, sir. But they're nowhere in sight, we've searched the entire vicinity and territory of PLANTs, still no sign." replied the officer, trying to keep his voice from shaking in his adam's apple.
"Threats!" shouted the senior Zala, slumping back down onto his swivel chair, and taking a ciggarrete and putting it to his lips before alighting it.
"Should we launch attacks on the Archangel, sir?" asked the officer, waiting anxiously for a reply, hoping it wouldn't be a death threat for him.
"No, I've got better plans. I know Wattfeld too well, he's sure to try and come up with a foolproof plan, which he thinks is foolproof, but actually isn't. We'll only attack them, when I receive news from my loyal spy, Ryoko." said Patrick Zala, laughing cruelly, as he whipped out a picture of the black-headed girl.

"Oh Kira!" screamed Lacus, running to Kira's outstretched arms, as he kissed her gently on the head.
"I was starting to have doubts about your survival," Lacus said softly, tears trickling down her soft rosy cheeks, as she buried her head into Kira's shoulder.
"I told you, I'd be fine, and am I not?" replied Kira, wiping her tears away from her face.
Ryoko crept away from the control station once more, and radioed PLANTs, like she was expected to.
"It's not long, Kira Yamato. You're already falling into my trap, starting to like me, aren't you? Relax, I won't bite," Ryoko muttered under her breath.

"I was so scared, Dearka. Promise me you'll never leave my side again!" wailed Miriallia, one she had entered her room in the arms of her tanned boyfriend.
"Mirre, I have never left your side! Physically, I may not be with you, but you know that inside your heart, I'll always be there." reassured Dearka, cuddling her tight.
Dearka used his hand to prop her chin up, so she faced him properly. "Listen, we'll get through this like last time. Don't worry, we'll all come back with victory in hand." whispered Dearka, leaning forward as his lips met her moist ones.
Dearka snaked both arms around her waist, as she threw her arms around his neck. He just couldn't get enough of her, and she seemed to be enjoying herself as well.
Miriallia gave a muffled squeal when she felt his hand slip under her uniform skirt. Gently, Dearka used his body weight to push her down onto the bed.
His kisses became more and more aggressive each time, before his lips danced all the way to the nape of her neck. Miriallia shuddered slightly, as Dearka slowly undressed her until all that was left on her were her undergarments.
Miriallia could feel his weight pressing onto her stomach, and the warmth of his body just soothed her senses. "I love you, Dearka," she hummed in his ear before she closed her eyes, just enjoying the feel of being with him.
Miriallia knew very well what the situation would lead to, but nonethless, they were doing this out of pure love. Not lust or desire, just love.

"Athrun, I want you to know that what happened, it's not your fault." said Cagalli, sitting on her bed, as she watched her blue-haired co-ordinator boyfriend tug at his hair in frustration.
"If it's not mine, then whose is it? It's my baby you're carrying, it'll be such a joke if it was anyone else's." said Athrun sternly, looking at Cagalli.
Cagalli got up and walked over to him, "Athrun it pains me to see you like that. What's happened is happened. We'll just take the baby as a blessing, ok?" said Cagalli knowingly, pulling Athrun to his feet.
"I just don't know what to do, forgive me, Cagalli." muttered Athrun, his weight making her sit down on the bed as he leaned sideways on her.
"I'm happy as long as you're ok," replied Cagalli nuzzling his head gently.
