Chapter 7 Confusion
A/N Sorry for my gramatical error in my last paragraph in my last chapter. It was supposed to be "A malicious smirk" instead of "A malicious smirking". I'm sure there are more, it's just that I don't really check, sorry.
Athrun rolled over onto his back, and bumped into Yzak, who shook awake and started and struggling, after realising his limbs were bound and that a piece of cloth was tied around his neck and into his mouth.
"Ah, finally you're awake, your little friends have been waiting," hissed a a voice from a young man, who was sitting on the couch. "Untie them," he ordered.
A dozen men stepped forward to untie Yzak, Athrun and the others who happened to be lying on the floor, awake as well.
Athrun's bones were all aching and he felt dead beat and too exhausted to fight back. It seemed the same way for Yzak, as the platinum blonde struggled to pull himself into a sitting position.
"You, it's you! Shinji Takehiro!" yelled Cagalli, crawling on all fours to Athrun, and using her thumb to wipe away some blood, draining from a cut on his forehead.
"Smart little lady, glad you remembered me. I feel so loved every time someone remembers me from the past," said Shinji, putting on such a stupidly babyish expression, that Dearka snorted.
"Find it funny, do you?" snarled Shinji sarcastically, turning to Dearka and baring his teeth at him.
"Where are the babies?" asked Kira, hugging Lacus close to him, cautious of the dozen men that surrounded them.
"Good question, they're fine and I'll answer your question later." retorted Shinji insolently, rolling his eyes and leaning back on the couch, as though waiting for something to happen.
Yzak looked around a few times, before mustering all the energy he had left to get up, lunge forward, grab Shinji by the neck, and strangle him.
"WHERE IS KYO? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HER?" yelled the platinum blonde Jule, tongues of flame visibly burning in his eyes.
Shinji raised one leg and bucked Yzak off with a hard kick, sending the Jule flying backward and hitting a nearby wall, before sinking to the floor, wicning at the pain.
Shinji smirked maliciously, and shook his head from side to side, looking satisfied with himself.
"Let's just say, I had a little sexual dalliance with her, hmm?" replied Shinji, running a hand threw his black haired, which was dyed with streaks of many different colours, including indigo and even stunning pink.
Yzak felt a surge of anger rage within him, however, he couldn't find the strength to get up and pummel the asshole sitting on the couch before him.
"No! Kyo would never do that! She loves Yzak and and only Yzak! She'll never betray him behind his back! She told me that once before!" said Miriallia heatedly, sitting sideways, leaning against Dearka.
"I don't believe that Kyo would do such a thing, I have a feeling this has got something to do with you." growled Athrun, shooting the black-headed young mna a penetrating stare.
"You're sharp with your guesses, Zala. Yes, it has got something to do with me. Let me put it this way, she was rivaling against my actions, but she was simply no match for me." laughed Shinji cruelly, throwing his head back as he roared with laughter.
"You RAPED Kyo?" asked Lacus, looking half shocked and half furious.
"So what if I did? It's not like her freaking co-ordinator husband, can do anything to change that fact." sniggered Shinji, clicking his fingers.
But Yzak didn't realise that it was a signal to bring Kyo out from the place she was confined to, and he pounced on Shinji once more. But was thrown backwards, onto the floor and a knife was held at his throat.
Two men brought Kyo out from a nearby room, and her eyes widened in shock, seeing the state her relatives, friends and her husband were in.
Yzak moved, wanting to dart up toward Kyo, but she gave a loud piercing scream, signaling him to stay put.
"YZAK! Just stay where you are! Don't even twitch a muscle or you'll be kicking the bucket!" screamed Kyo, her cheeks tear stained, and her face full of worry and confusion.
"Hello, sweetheart. Don't fret too much, my dear. These friends and relatives of yours won't be killed until in a year's time." replied Shinji, grinning evilly.
"Huh? what d'you mean?" asked Dearka wearily, clutching Miriallia closer to him.
"I just want to get some experiments, I had in mind, done with you pests. Tests involving DNA samples, blood tests, some of the eggs from a female co-ordinator and semen samples from the guys, since they're ALL co-ordinators. After all that, you people will be wiped clean from the face of th earth." explained Shinji, his face contorted into an expression of pure disgust.
"What for? You're not some crazy scientist, are you?" asked Miriallia, her voice trembling with worry and anxiety.
"Half right, half wrong. I am a scientist, but I am certainly not CRAZY." corrected Shinji, pointing his forefinger at Miriallia and waving it at her.
"While I carry out my experiments and tests, you people will be staying in this house. Beatifully furnished and there are maids here to cook anc lean for you. So don't say I'm ill-treating the lot of you. And by the way, your precious offspring are in the room where Kyo was brought out from. She was the one who looked after them the whole while." added Shinji, getting up and waving a hand to dismiss his men.
Shinji and his men evacuated the house, leaving only two men behind to guard the doors of the house.
Lacus looked around and had to admit that the house was rather grand and opulent, but still posed many dangers to them.
"This place isn't safe, search the areas of he bedroom, leave no rock unturned. Who knows if that jackass could've put some timer bomb in here." said Athrun weakly, clutching his head as Cagalli led him off to a nearby bedroom, before going to collect Aaron.
Miriallia and Lacus stayed in the room, where Kyo was confined to and cradled their babies tight.
"Thanks Kyo, for looking after them." said Miriallia gratefully, clutching Andrea close to her, and kissing her passionately on the forehead, before walking out of the room with Lacus, who was carrying Akira.
"Don't mention it," said Kyo softly, obviously still very traumatised by everything that had happened all so suddenly and quickly.
Kyo dabbed Yzak's cuts and injuries with cotton wool, slowly cleaning them with alcohol. Kyo felt very guilty and she could feel Yzak's pain, every time he winced and bit his lip, enduring the stinging sensations he had to put up with as Kyo cleaned his wounds.
"I'm so sorry, to all of you. This is my fault, if it wasn't for me, all of you wouldn't be here. That man who tried to drop Aaron was Shinji and another one of his men. He did this not because he hated co-ordinators, but because of me. The "I hate co-ordinator" thing, was just an excuse. But he still wants all of you annihilated, so that he can keep me." explained Kyo, feeling the tears well up in her eyes.
"What about the change of government?" asked Yzak, kissing Kyo tenderly on the forehead, as silent tears fell from her eyes.
"That's all bogus, the government is still the same." replied Kyo, wiping her eyes dry with the back of her hand, before clearing up everything.
Ezann gave a small yelp, when her mother walked past her in the small cot she was in, without picking her up or even looking at her.
"Maybe I'm just bad luck, it was a mistake for you to marry me." said Kyo softly, tears rolling down her cheeks once more, as she felt Yzak's strong arms wrap themselves around her body, which was already threatening to give way and let fall to the floor.
"How can you say that, Kyo? If I hadn't married you, life wouldn't be as meaningful and Ezann wouldn't be here." said Yzak knowingly, kissing Kyo's neck lovingly and inhaling her sweet scent of chamomile.
Kyo just burst into tears, turned around and buried her face into Yzak's shoulder, feeling him catch her and bring her into his arms, as her legs turned to jelly.

"I knew this was going to happen, it seems as though our problems never end." sighed Miriallia worriedly, sitting down on the bed and breastfeeding Andrea, who was overcome with hunger.
"It'll be that way if you keep looking on the dark side, whilst over on the bright side, we're still alive and living in this house even though we're captives." said Dearka knowingly, brushing a strand of hair from Miriallia's face and kissing her gently on the lips.
"I really feel sorry for Kyo, I mean having being raped by someone she never wished to meet after she left the college." said Muiriallia, stroking Andrea's head lovingly.
"Life has it's ups and downs I guess. Though we've been going through rouch patch after rough patch, has there been once where we have never pulled through?" asked Dearka, finally saying something logical and sensible.
"I guess you're right, but I wish this will coem to an end soon." said Miriallia, leaning her head on Dearka's chest and closing her eyes.
A/N Ok, that was one chappie I took some time to write. Certainly, I've really changed Yzak's character, he's rather OOC now. But anyway, don't forget to review!
