Turmoil among the Earth Alliance

-x-x-x-

Miroku walked down the hall of the five star hotel that he and Kagome were staying at, a letter in hand. It had been three days since Kagome's concert, and although he normally kept all of her fan mail in a bag for later response, the letter he held in hand was of vital importance to the Earth Alliance Pacifist Songstress. Knocking on the door of the singers' room, he waited patiently for the young girl to respond and smiled when he heard the quietly spoken enter.

"Hello my dear," Miroku smiled as he held a letter out before her eyes, "A note from a friend in space?"

Kagome smiled, "ZAFT's beloved princess, she hasn't been able to send me many letters for a while...since the start of the war..."

"What has she to say?"

"..." Kagome broke the seal of the envelope and pulled a letter from the confines of the envelope itself before reading the neatly scrawled handwriting on the thin paper.

Dearest Cerulean Princess,

How fares our earth? I do hope that you have been well over the years that this war has taken from us; I fear that it is only going to get worse in the coming months. I had a message from my father not long ago, stating the start of a movement. ZAFT will be sneaking into Heliopolis in the coming month or two, and I only can pray that you are not present for whatever is to come. I know that this will probably get to you late, considering just how far from each other we really are, but I pray you keep your distance from the floating colony. I sincerely wish for your safety, and hope to see you soon.

Your Closest Friend,

The Pink Princess

Miroku smirked, "Code name, Pink Princess. I swear, you two don't honestly think that these names will fool anyone, do you?"

Kagome shook her head, "Of course not, they were the names we would call each other when we were kids, I was the Blue Princess, and she was the Pink Princess...we were the best of friends...what these names mean to the world is their own thing...but for Lacus and I, it's a part of our lives...our childhood."

Miroku nodded in understanding, he was one of the few who knew of her and Lacus's childhood. She had been torn up at her friends' departure, and knew that she wouldn't see her again for a long time...so hurt, she had poured her heart out to a random stranger passing her up on the street, and he happened to be a musical producer, and in the end, he became her manager in the long run. He had been the only one there to keep her head over the water and from sinking into an abyss of loneliness and hurt. He kept her from drowning in her own depression, by being there for her, as a friend, and a confidant.

"Our shuttle will be leaving soon, are you ready for departure?"

Kagome smiled, "Yes, you?"

"Well, you know I hate flying, but for you..." he leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek, "I'd do anything. Let's go...Princess."

-x-x-x-

Lacus sighed with her head against the shuttle window she was in, she was afraid for Kagome, deathly so. Her eating habits had started to worry her father to the point that he sent her to colony Juosis for a memorial service. Hoping to get her mind off of the evident war which was soon to blast completely out of control, he had his own fears, and in his eyes, her were a minor cause for worry. He saw Kagome to be much stronger than his precious daughter, and knew her viper tongue, while it may get her in trouble more often than none, her quick wit and sharp mind could easily get her out of that trouble and dangerous situations.

She turned the radio on beside her, changing it to an Earth station and stopping it on a familiar Peace station.

When I find myself in times of trouble~

~Mother Mary comes to me~

~Speaking words of wisdom~

~Let it be~

Lacus smiled, before singing along with the familiar voice of her best friend. "And in my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me...Speaking words of wisdom...let it be. Let it be, let it be, let it be...let it...be...whisper words of wisdom...let it be."

~And when the broken hearted people~

~Living in the world of greed~

~There will be an answer~

~Let it be~

Lacus didn't notice anyone watching her, had she, she might have turned the station off, but instead, she continued to sing. "But though the may be pardoned, there is still a chance that they will see, there will be an answer...let it be. Let it be, let it be, let it be~...let it...be...yeah there will be an answer...let it be."

~Let it be~

"Let it be,"

~Let it be~

"Whisper words of wisdom~"

~Let it be...~

"Let it be,"

~Let it be~

"Let it be,"

~Let it be...~

"Whisper words of wisdom...let it be..."

~And when the night is cloudy~

~There is still a light that shines on me~

~Shine on till tomorrow~

~Let it be...~

"I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me, Speaking words of wisdom...let it be...let it be, let it be, let it be...let it...be...there will be an answer...let it be."

~Let it be~

~Let it be~

~Let it be~

~Let it...be...~

~There will be an answer~

"Let it be...let it be, let it be, let it be, let it...be..."

~Whisper words of wisdom~

"Let it be~"

Two Days Later

Kagome stared in shock at the TV in front of her, a news broadcasting was currently taking place on the TV with a voice recording of Kagome and some of her and Miroku's conversations. She had never noticed that someone was listening, and these were the worst things to get out among the Earth Alliance.

"Kagome~! We need to go!"

Kagome looked back to Miroku and frowned; she was frightened, what was going to happen to her?! WHAT ABOUT LACUS!? And Miroku...he was in this as well! "Miroku?"

"Not now, Princess..." he kissed her on the forehead and pushed her head down into a car as he got in the front, "A private shuttle has been readied for you; we will be leaving now!"

Kagome could only watch as people began flooding the hotel she'd been staying at, they were angry, the broadcast had a few recordings of her reading out the letters, and of her knowledge of the alleged attacks on Heliopolis; the attack which had taken place only yesterday, and had killed many people...taking down a colony, and forcing thousands to relocate. She hadn't done anything to stop it, so to the Earth Alliance, she was an accessory to ZAFT. "How could this have happened?"

"I think the room was most likely bugged before we arrived."

"Can we trust the Shuttle pilot?"

"...yeah, we can trust her."

Kagome frowned, "Her?"

Miroku gave no reply, instead, he continued driving. They chose to take a rather old looking car to keep a low profile, as...no one would suspect a beat up old vehicle to be carrying the Cerulean Princess to a shuttle for safety. "We'll be there soon, I'm afraid we had no time to grab anything clothes wise, but once you get to the safe house, there will be plenty of things to wear and a few things to occupy your time."

"Occupy my time? How long must I stay away?!" Kagome felt heself growing agitated.

"...for the time being, I can't be sure, but you must stay alive, stay safe, and stay out of sight. As of right now," he pulled to a stop in front of a shuttle, "you aren't safe in ZAFT or Earth Alliance territory. I will get in contact with you as soon as I can, and I know it's safe, but for now, trust me!" Miroku climbed out and pulled Kagome from the back seat, a cloak covered her head as she was pulled to the shuttle and pushed forward up the steps. "Here," he called, holding his hand out as he grabbed hers and placed something in it. Pulling her into a hug, he kissed her on the cheek, as he always did and whispered in her ear, "You are the Hope which shines down on the Earth Alliance, same as Lacus with ZAFT, if you are both together, I have no doubt that you can both change this world for all the better...be safe...Kagome."

Kagome looked down at the object in her hand and felt tears prickling at her eyes, in her hand was the silver barrette given to her by Lacus...looking up, the shuttle door shut as she ran to it and looked out the window. Miroku stood outside watching as the shuttle prepared itself for departure and all Kagome could do was cry. "Miroku!" As the shuttle took off, Kagome was knocked painfully into the side of the shuttle and cried out in hurt and despair. 'Miroku...please be quick...'
