Disclaimer: I don't anything within this story except Hiroku, the story plot, Rayne and Hisoka (there at the end). I will say that this story follows the Gundam Seed storyline and has direct quotes, but I added to them by bringing in an OC, so many of the episodes are word for word but then my character Hiroku comes in. So enjoy…and read and review please!

Chapter 2

"Daddy! Please don't go! Why do you have to leave so soon? You just got back from another business trip last week! Why daddy? Why?"

"Oh Hiroku darling. I'm sorry but this meeting was just called down on Earth and it is vital that I be there. I know I promised that I would be home a long time but you know how work can be. I'm very sorry Hiro. But I promise that once I get back I will be all yours for a whole two months!"

"Really daddy! You promise?"

"Of course darling."

"In that case dad…get on that shuttle so you can come home faster!"

"Of course, bye now. Be good for grandpa and grandma!"

"I will! And don't forget dad…you promised!"

"I know honey…I know!"

Hiroku jolted awake from her dream of the last time she saw her father six months ago. She had small tears coming down her face.

"It seems that everyone that makes a promise to me never fulfills that promise. They all die on me." She whispered to herself. She scooted up to the headboard of her bed and pulled her blanket up to her nose and sat there thinking.

"Well now that I can't get back to bed because I will just keep seeing that same conversation play over and over again in my head I might as well go somewhere to get my mind on something else."

Hiroku got up out of bed and put on some white jeans and a navy blue tank top that came to about two inches above her belly button. She slipped on her white jacket and tied her thin scarf around her neck. She grabbed her pistol from the table next to her bed and headed out of her room to go to the hanger where her mobile suite was.

In another part of the ship Yzak was also having a hard time getting to sleep. But his reason was that he simple could never get a good nights sleep since the war started. He always kept hearing cannon blasts and gun shots in his sleep, though it never scared him or anything it was just annoying. So Yzak decided he was going to just go walk around the ship some and see if that would help him go to sleep better.

Yzak was walking towards the hanger of the ship while he was trying to get himself tired. As he passed by it he saw the cockpit light was on in Hiroku's machine.

I wonder why the light is on. Maybe I should go check on it just to make sure that none of those stupid mechanics left it open and forgot to close it. Those idiots.

As Yzak got closer to the GAT X 206 Galaxy he heard what sounded like typing. He floated up right next to the open cockpit door and sat on the shoulder and listened to the person typing on the keyboard inside the machine. Occasionally he would hear mumbling coming from inside the machine. He knew it only had to be Hiroku because occasionally he would hear her curse when something wasn't going right. He decided he was going to go check on her, why? He had no idea, just a sudden impulse type thing.

Inside the Galaxy's cockpit, Hiroku was hurriedly typing away on her keyboard. She had noticed that a few days ago when she was doing the test run for the commander that her sniper rifle calibrations were off and her machine wasn't moving quite as fast as it should, so she was trying to figure out what was wrong.

"This OS sucks! How did those damn naturals ever think they were going to operate this machine when the OS is this screwed up!" she yelled in frustration.

"You may be having a hard time because you never deactivated the self detonation sequence." Yzak suggested to her.

Yzak's speaking had startled Hiroku and she drew her gun and pointed it at Yzak's head. Yzak was momentarily taken aback but soon gained his composure back and mockingly put his hands up in the air.

"Hold your fire there little missy." Yzak said with a smirk.

"What are you doing here?" Hiroku said in an annoyed voice while putting her gun back in the holster on her hip.

"I think the first question should be what are you doing here? Its late and you have been working really hard since you got here. Don't girls need their beauty sleep or something?"

"If you have nothing but mockery to throw at me then I suggest you get out of my face and let me finish my work." She said with a glare.

"Geez…sounds like someone needs sleep. What can't sleep because you had a bad dream?" Yzak chuckled slightly but then was cut off guard with the response that the received from the girl in front of him.

"Shut the fk up! You wouldn't even begin to understand anything! Now get out of my face or I will do it for you!" She said in a venomous voice and with her gun pointed at him again.

"Ok fine! It's not like I care about your problems anyways!" he yelled back at her with a glare.

Yzak turned around and left but he didn't go far. He went back to his place on the shoulder of the Galaxy and listened to her start to cry.

Geez…I didn't think that I had made her that mad with me yelling at her.

Yzak listened for a while longer and started to hear her say something.

"Why? why daddy…you promised…you said you would come back! You all left me alone…even Rusty…he was the only one that knew me and what I wanted…I feel so betrayed by my own family…and your all dead!" Hiroku wailed. She finally broke down crying and eventually cried herself to sleep inside the cockpit.

Yzak heard everything. He didn't realize that she had lost her parents. He just figured that she had just lost her brother, Rusty. Yzak heard Hiro break down and full out cry her eyes out. But then it was silent. He risked a glance inside the cockpit and saw her asleep in the seat. She had small shiny tears still running down her cheeks.

Should I take her back to her room? No she might wake up and shoot me or something. I guess I can go grab her blanket or something.

Yzak quickly floated back to his room and grabbed an extra blanket from his closet and went back to Hiroku. When he got back to the Galaxy and went inside the cockpit he saw that Hiroku was still asleep. When he got closer to her he saw what she was wearing and blushed a bit seeing all the skin that she was showing off.

Down boy! Oh shut up!

He saw that her belly button was pierced with a diamond on the top of a silver bar that went through her belly button and a Hibiscus flower that dangled below her navel slightly. His eyes traveled up her body and they stopped at the under side of her wrist. He moved the material on her jacket back a bit and saw a tattoo engraved in her skin. When he was finally able to read it, it said Broken Heart in Japanese kanji.

Broken Heart? Oh she must have gotten that when all her family died.

Wow…she really is gorgeous…Now your talkin…would you just shut up already! I admit that she is good looking but I never said that I like her. But you want to…admit it already! NO DAMMIT!

Yzak finally got himself out of his stupor and put the blanket across the front of her body and tucked it behind her shoulders. When his finger tips lightly touched the skin on her shoulder Yzak felt an electric feeling run through his body, like nothing he had every felt before.

What the hell!

Yzak backed away from Hiroku and then proceeded to leave the cockpit. He took one more glance at the sleeping girl and smiled, actually smiled. He had a feeling of sympathy for her and wanted nothing to happen to her. He knew she could most definitely take care of herself but he wanted to do it for himself.

God! What has gotten into me! It's just a girl! Man…Dearka is going to have a field day with this if he finds out that I like her! HA! You do admit it! You do like her! Ok fine! I admit it! UGH! Why me! Why?

How was that? I hope good! Hehe well chapter three is up next…so go forth and read! Hehe
