Yzak & Shiho Interludes

Author's Note: Well, if you are just visiting this story for some Shiho & Yzak moments, you've come to the right place. Although, you may read this and go "What? I don't get it. It doesn't flow or make any sense to me." This would be because you haven't read my story Dearka & Miriallia. These are Interludes being added in between that main story of some of their moments together. So, in order to have it all make sense, you'll need to read that story. For all the readers that have read Dearka & Miriallia, I let you know where to insert these Interludes and as usual they are all in html and doc format on my website through the link in my personal profile. Also, on the doc page of Yzak & Shiho Interludes, the Dearka & Miriallia Full Versions are extended in both Mature and Teen format with these Interludes added where they belong. (smiles) Hugs to all of you! Thanks again for the support everyone!

Interlude Insert: This Interlude is inserted in Chapter 10 of Dearka & Miriallia right after: the last sentence of the chapter "I am definitely in over my head," he thought in the quiet room.

Disclaimer: It is obvious by now if I'm here that I do not own Gundam SEED, Gundam SEED Destiny or any other Gundam Series. But any characters I create to place in this world are mine (But I don't mind if you guys want to use them too. I have no problem with that. You don't even need to ask me. I enjoy sharing to make other stories the best they can be.)

Interlude 3

Can You Believe It?

On The Voltaire, Yzak's Office:

Yzak sat at his desk with a sly grin on his face. As he pushed off his arms and fell back into the chair he released a slight giggle.

"So, Dearka's a dad. That really is comical," he said out loud to himself.

Closing his eyes he began to think of what his next step was to helping out his old friend.

"I definitely need to remember to scold him when he returns for being such an idiot. Guess his playboy days finally caught up with him," Yzak thought now with a full smirk on his face.

He was waiting for something like this to happen to him for so long. He felt it served him right. Although, he was slightly relieved that it happened to him with someone he actually had feelings for. Even he wasn't that spiteful to have his best friend fall into a loveless relationship.

"Then again, if this hadn't happened, he would have fallen into a loveless relationship by being forced into marrying Cadey," Yzak thought the smirk diminishing from his face.

Before he could reflect anymore on his friends' situation, the buzzer to his office sounded. Yzak sat up, the chair back following suit and he called the person in.

"Yes?" he asked beckoning them forth.

The door swished open to reveal just the person he needed to call upon for the task Dearka had enlisted him for.

"Oh, good, I was about to call you in here. You saved me the hassle," Yzak stated moving some papers to the side of his desk.

"So now I'm a hassle," Shiho said putting her hands on her hips and pouting.

"You know what I mean," Yzak replied feeling annoyed at her comment.

She entered the room somewhat annoyed from his last comment and rolled her eyes at him.

"Sometimes I think Dearka is right," Shiho said exasperated with him.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Yzak asked defensively.

"You need to lighten up more. I was just joking with you," she replied casually.

Yzak became even more frustrated with her as he plugged in his laptop to the charger. He had been doing so much work in his room instead of his office thanks to Shiho that he didn't think to grab the charger. Although it was just down the hall, he didn't have the energy to drag himself back to pick it up.

"The last thing I need is advice from Dearka with the mess he's gotten himself in," Yzak said knowingly.

This sparked some interest from the longhaired brunette standing in front of him. Her right eyebrow peaked in curiosity.

"Oh, do tell," she said moving into one of the seats in front of Yzak with slight enthusiasm.

"Well, it seems Dearka has a little mission for us while he's away," Yzak continued giving her bits of information.

"You know, you don't have to tease me the way you tease me in your quarters you know," she said now with a real pout.

Yzak's eyes slit with frustration at the expression she gave him. He hated when she pouted at him. It made her too cute to resist which usually led to not much work getting done.

"I don't tease you in my quarters," he said irritated.

"Sure you do, all the time. First you swear we are going to spend time together and then you end up opening that stupid thing and getting sidetracked by work. Next thing I know it's morning and time for my shift and you've already left," she replied pointing at his laptop.

"You know, it's not my fault things come up when we plan on spending time together. There are too many people depending on both of us to be so selfish," Yzak defended.

Shiho could see his frustration with her rising and decided it was a better idea to just back off on the subject of last night.

"Forget it. I don't want to fight about this now. What is it that we need to help Dearka with?" she asked changing the subject.

Yzak began to become more level headed from that statement and continued with what he was telling her before their little spat.

"You've seen pictures of Cadey, right?" he asked her.

"Sure, she's Dearka's fiancée and the daughter of Councilman White," Shiho answered.

"Good you know what she looks like then. I need you to stop her when she arrives at the main PLANT shuttle stop. She is heading back up here from Earth and she has something that doesn't belong to her," Yzak replied.

"Has something?" Shiho asked confused.

"Yeah, apparently she has Dearka's daughter," Yzak said with a smirk and awaiting Shiho's reaction.

She had almost fallen back in her chair when she heard what Yzak said to her. She couldn't believe it and wasn't sure if she heard right.

"Did you just say…" she started.

"You heard me correctly. Dearka just found out he has a daughter with that girl he met during the last war. Unfortunately, Cadey found out at the same time and she decided it was best to kidnap the little girl. So now I need you to go and retrieve them both," Yzak said with a slight hint of an order being given.

"Oh, no way. There's no way you are sending me after her alone Yzak," Shiho contested.

"Well, I can't go. She knows me and I'm sure she'll try to avoid anyone associated with Dearka. The great thing is she never met you before, making you the perfect person to go. She doesn't know you and Dearka and I both trust you," Yzak reasoned.

"The only reason she doesn't know me is because you avoid bringing me out in public. You're too afraid to show everyone that you actually have a girlfriend," Shiho snapped back.

"You know you are a viper at times," Yzak said grunting at her evaluation of his actions.

"And you're an…" she started while standing up from her chair and slamming her hands on his desk before being cut off again.

"I wouldn't finish that if I were you," Yzak threatened.

Shiho huffed as she sat herself back down in her chair trying to compose herself. Sometimes even she couldn't take Yzak's personality. It had a tendency to overwhelm even the people closest to him.

"I'm not going alone. You have to come with me or I'll let her walk," Shiho threw her own threat back at Yzak.

"You've got to be kidding me. Shiho, she knows who I am. She'll see me a mile away," Yzak stated.

"Either you go, or I won't," Shiho stood her ground.

Yzak didn't have time to argue with her. He had to figure out which shuttle she might be arriving on from the time that Dearka called him since he didn't get much more information from him than the fact that Cadey was on her way up here with his daughter.

"Fine, I'll go. But if she spots me and we lose her, it will be your fault," Yzak said defeated.

"Then you better hope I don't lose her," Shiho replied.

"Why should I hope that you don't lose her?" Yzak asked.

Shiho stood from her seat and moved in to whisper in his ear.

"Because if you even try to blame it on me, you'll be regretting it much more than I will," she said moving away with a wink and headed out the door.

Yzak had tensed up from her performance and slammed his fist down on the desk when the door swished shut.

"I swear Dearka. I'm going to kill you the moment you step foot on the Voltaire again," Yzak said out loud through gritted teeth.
