Underestimated Truths

She finally understands how serious I am…"

ABOARD THE NAZCA

"Yzak, you sure are in a bad mood today" Dearka mocked.

"Stop mocking me!" Yzak yelled as he picked up his phone that had played the tune that said (in as many, or more, words)- check your texts you fucking bastard!

The text read:

Hey Yzak,

I aced my tests.

I will be graduating this year!

So happy, thought you oughtta know.

Hope you are well.

Cya, Anzu…

I knew she would write something like that, Yzak thought smiling a little. It was either that thought or, I knew she would pass- that idiot just wanted to make me worry. And Yzak's mood was a little lighter. Actually, A LOT lighter. He was smiling when he turned back to Dearka. He was very scared of Yzak at that moment.

How could he go from murderously angry to happy in the span of five seconds and reading a text from someone, Dearka thought not showing it on his face Then Dearka thought, maybe he got a girlfriend when he was home… Yzak hadn't spoken of any girls, so maybe, just maybe… Dearka didn't show these thoughts on his face and by the time the BE BACK IN FIVE MINUTES sign disappeared from his face, Yzak had long gone. That was definitely weird, Dearka thought, turning back to the task at hand- the attack on Zimbabwe.

ON THE VIRGO

Anzu sat in her seat in the briefing room. Everyone was there as they were on auto-pilot. She turned around in her swivel chair and pulled her legs up to her chest. She wanted to cry, knowing the fact that she was up against her fiancée… Well that was self-explanatory. She had a strange ability on other coordinators. If she sang at the right pitch while being in berserker mode or in SEED mode, she could give out a signal. The signal which would give a feeling of DNA detachment. She could rip apart a coordinators DNA by singing. It would be excruciating. And the worst part… It took months to heal. She had been forbidden to use it, but it was a desperate time, so measures had to be taken. She hoped Yzak was okay. She sent him a message about her "school exams". She would be graduating, at her supposed "school" even though she never actually went there. They had agreed to this plot, seeing as the principle was an ex-EA forces officer. She had told her friends and Kira to leave. Muriel had informed the captain as top what she was attempting to do. Murrue had pulled Kira out not a moment to soon. If he hadn't moved she would have hit him. And I wouldn't have cared, Anzu thought sadly. I wouldn't have known as I was in SEED mode. I would just be thinking coordinators are the enemies, and I would have hurt him. He is so nice, how did he end up in a war? The same way you did, another part of her mind answered for her, for he is a coordinator. Her thoughts were lead astray when Muriel entered the room with Payton. She was seemingly under the weather but had agreed to come anyway. She always put others and works before herself; she was like that when we were little. Anzu smiled and then thought better of it. Payton began talking:

"Anzu Seiya, you have used what is forbidden in order to save yourself and comrades. However this may have helped us, you used that which is forbidden, so the punishment for that is…"

"Confinement! I have had to have this punishment so much I know how it sounds when it comes off of your tongue. I also know that I will be notified within three days of how long my punishment will last!" Anzu smiled. Murrue shook her head and Mu laughed, but he stopped when Muriel gave him a you-had-better-not-encourage-her look. Anzu just went away and had her I-am-not-going-to-be-long look. She smiled and walked away singing I Get Knocked Down (or whatever it is called). Instead she went to the spare time room and flunked on the couch. And she was closely followed by Candras.

"Hey Lieutenant!" Anzu chirped.

"I knew you would come here! Um… you know about those dancing lessons you asked about?" Candras was going redder by the second (if that is possible as he just went above the colour of ripe tomatoes- yes they are really red).

"Um, yeah?" Anzu said, not catching on to where this was going.

"Well want a lesson now?" Candras asked, still turning redder.

"Yay!" Anzu yelled and she glomped him.

FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER

"We are about to enter the spare time room" Shima announced. She had volunteered to go and give the Archangel crew a tour. She was followed by Marry, Prayers, Toby, Ally, Lucy and Zoey, with Candras nowhere in sight. He would have made it worse. He always made fun of the girls, except the Commander, the Commandant and the Captain. But it didn't help with Marry writing down everything she did wrong.

"Let us ente… Um… Commander! Lieutenant! Have we coma at a bad time?" Shima asked as everyone (excluding the Commandant and the Captain) looked around the door. Shima was surprised to find Candras and Anzu looking like they were flushed and halfway through a waltz.

"Um… no. We were just doing dancing lessons!" Anzu said cheerfully.

Of course, thought Shima. With all those dinners and not being able to ballroom dance and all.

Anzu stopped the music and put the radio on. Annie's Song was playing.

I remember something, Anzu heard herself think. By instinct she began to sing to the music. When it ended, everyone clapped.

"That was really good!" Murrue exclaimed.

"I didn't mean to sing, but that song means a lot to me. It was a friend of mine's favourite song. Well it used to be…" Anzu trailed off, remembering how much Yzak had changed.

"Is it that "friend"- who I might add is a boy- that you went to see and spent one and half days with?" Marry had to be nosey.

"If you must know, YES!" Anzu yelled. She didn't want to talk about it. Yzak and she had a secret, an unspoken promise. One must kill the other or the revenge getting will never end. And unspoken promise will strike into his back, with the force of a bullet, if this war doesn't end- Anzu thought.

Dawn of Revenge

In the blink of an eye, you became my enemy,

You had more layers than the eye could see.

You surrendered yourself to me, my love,

You opened your wings and flew my dove.

The promise we swore not to bring to the battlefield,

Has arisen again.

I promised to not tell,

Even my own men.

They lose their lives so I can live,

Out this cruel fantasy.

I am a killer of my own men,

One of gracious calamity.

But with a gun I make my promise clear,

A sound that everyone will hear.

An unspoken promise strikes you in the back,

With the sound and the force of a gun.

The bullet will stay there to remind you.

If this war doesn't end, your life is done.

Anzu cried. Her father had told her that when she was but a child. He had also said that to see the world through the eyes of a child is to see the world with eyes unclouded. Children have the purest vision. They don't see war, or death, or poverty, or hatred or killings. But the children who miss out on being a child don't really exist. They only coincide with the war and death and destruction. Anzu wanted her father to be there so badly. But, alas, he could not. He died a few years ago. The same with her mother. Anzu then realized that her father was talking about her. She had been in military training (or at least on the list) since she was little. By then she was engaged to Yzak, and she was already super intelligent. Her excuse was, her parents had become neutral and she had to go away to a neutral natural school. Yzak didn't like the idea, but since he was in the defense forces he and Anzu could only see each other once in a while. On the school holidays maybe? But no, they hadn't. In fact, she had only just turned thirteen when he signed up. Four years ago. She hadn't seen him but the had talked, when he and she were alone in two separate places, but it still felt as though they were alone together. Anzu ran out of the room crying. No-one else knew why. She had run to the nursery, where Diana slept. She grabbed the sleeping baby and rocked it in her arms as she sat on the floor. Diana was her daughter. She was old enough to be. And Anzu could be her mother, they did look a like. But Diana's eyes. They were not grey. They were ocean blue. Like the real ocean they moved like waves if you looked into them. They were captivating. The… ocean…

That only made Anzu cry harder. She knew she would be seeing Yzak soon. She had pictures fly past her eyes. At a ZAFT ball, as a prisoner, in the middle of the EA ball, on the Archangel and in Halmea.

Halmea? Anzu questioned herself.

Yes, that other part of her brain had answered. Halmea, that neutral colony that is being made. You have been bought a house there by Ezaria remember? You oversaw the creating of it.

That is enough outta you! she mentally yelled at her brain. And with that it gave up and she won, or did she?

A/n: Pretty crap, I know. I love my vocabulary; my teacher complemented me on it today. Anyway, you will find out the plot of why she isn't telling Payton and Yzak that they exist next time. Still working on that part. Need help… The beginning of the next one will be a flashback. Did you know that actual characters are related to Anzu! Well you do now! Her brain is talking to itself because… I don't know! Do you ever get that feeling you are living a double life? Well, yeah, it is sorta like that. The poem is mine, the saying is mine, don't touchy either! Ya hear! Yzak is a little cranky because he just had his DNA played with by his own fiancée. The ring will make an appearance. The flashes of scenes were scenes to come. Yzak invites her to a ZAFT ball, she becomes a prisoner aboard the Nazca class (and Yzak lets her go- sneakily), he and others invade an EA Forces ball (in which he finds out about Anzu and Payton), he comes to the Archangels crew and they will eventually live in Halmea. Sakura and Isaac will be making an appearance by the tenth chapter. This story shall end in about twenty. Then I will start my next gen story. In cosmic era 91, or before. That will through the eyes of Minna Ramius La Flaga. Guess whose kid that is? No brainer! Well, more next time on Halmea, Last Embrace. Oh and at the ball you will find out about a special necklace that Anzu wears that is from Jacob Joule. Any oversights in the plotline just review me and tell me so I can fix it. I will update other stories soon. Goodbye and farewell (don't they mean the same thing?
