Chapter 9
Itara couldn't stand it any longer. She had spent most of her day watching her son moping around the palace instead of having fun. While she tried to cheer Duo up her husband was in a meeting of some sort and he wouldn't be out for another couple of hours. However, she couldn't wait for hours she didn't have the time or the patients. She was going to talk to Arlos now. //Arlos, love, we need to talk//
//Can't it wait I am in the middle of an important meeting//
//No it can't wait I want to speak with you NOW//
Hearing his wife's frustration in their telepathic conversation he relented. //Fine give me a few minutes//
Itara went straight to her bedroom knowing her husband would meet her there. She sat on the king sized bed contemplating how she would get Arlos to listen and understand but most of all she had to keep her anger in check. When she heard the soft click of the door closing she looked up to see her husband standing there looking a little annoyed and yet still worried.
"What was so urgent that couldn't wait until after my meeting?"
"You now very well what I want to talk to you about."
"Oh not this again. Itara I have told you this a million times before I will not have my son put into danger."
"What so you'd rather watch him suffer? Do you like causing your family pain?"
"May I remind you Itara it was not my family and I who enjoyed watching people suffer and we never tortured them slowly and painfully to their death."
Before Arlos could continue the sound of flesh hitting flesh could be heard echoing in the room. On his cheek there was a red mark to show the force of the slap delivered but as soon as it was there it disappeared. However, it didn't cause the flame of rage in Itara's eyes to disappear.
"How DARE you say such things!! GET OUT, GET OUT NOW AND DON'T THINK OF COMING BACK IN THIS ROOM UNTIL YOU REALISE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE."
Arlos would have moved to calm his wife down but he knew he had made a grave mistake by mentioning the past. Quickly he left the room and returned to his meeting but his mind wasn't completely on what was being discussed. Instead the invents of just a few moments ago kept resonating in his mind.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Itara was still in her room half an hour later. /I can't believe he had the nerve to say that/ She couldn't understand completely what had happened neither why she had slapped her husband like that. Hearing a soft knock on the door she looked up to see Duo timidly stepping in.
"Is everything alright mother? I heard you yelling a while back."
Forgetting her anger Itara decided to go back to her previous task of trying to make her son happier.
"Everything is fine Duo. Now tell me what I can do to make you feel better hmm? It is not good for a prince to be sulking all day."
"Mother you know full well the only thing that will make me happy is to be allowed to see Heero. He'll be so upset when I don't go."
"But you'll see him tomorrow."
"You don't understand mother, he doesn't have many friends and he's afraid that one day I will no longer want to be his friend and me not being there tonight will upset him greatly."
"Well now that is a problem. But to every problem there is a solution."
Duo was now listening eagerly. He knew when his mother had a plan. "What do you mean mother?"
"Well we could always write him a letter and send it."
"But if I can't go up there how will we get it delivered to his house? I don't want anyone else going there."
Itara smiled secretively, "don't worry about that Duo I have my ways of getting things to where I want them to be without even taking one step out of this palace."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo handed the sealed envelope to his mother. She had helped him to write it and she placed it in a white envelope with black roses engraved at the corners. However, Duo still didn't understand how the letter would be sent.
He watched as his mother carefully placed the envelope on the table and began to murmur a few words. Duo was surprised to see the envelope float off the table for a few seconds before it disappeared.
'There your letter has been sent."
He looked up at the smiling face of his mother, "h..how did you do that?"
"Oh now don't be surprised it is such a simple trick. You could even do it if you practiced."
"Would you teach me please!!"
Itara laughed at the puppy eyes her son was giving. "alright I'll teach you. Who could resist a face as cute as that. But I warn you know son it will take time and if you want to learn all I know you'll have to be willing to work hard."
"I will mother I'll make you proud. Besides if I have to stay home every night it will give me something to do besides sulk."
"Yes Duo it would but I'll tell you now I am already so proud of you."
Duo smiled and taking his mother's hand he led her to the training room in the palace to begin his lessons. The sooner he learnt to become more powerful the sooner his father will realize he isn't in any real danger and perhaps that he'd be allowed to wander the surface whenever he wants to.
Meanwhile, at the Yuy's house a white envelope drifted through the letterbox to land gently on the carpeted floor.
