If we do not end war - war will end us. Everybody says that, millions of people believe it, and nobody does anything. ~H.G. Wells~
"Yoruichi, where are we going?" Lacus asked as she followed Yoru through a tunnel. "To the white symphony to wait for a friend to pick you up so he can take you to safety." Yoru said as the two made it to the end of the tunnel. Yoru was greeted with a hand there to help her from the tunnel. She took it and saw that it was DaCosta. "Thanks DaCosta." Yoru told him as she emerged from the tunnel. He nodded to her and helped Lacus out of the tunnel. "Any word about anything yet?" Yoru asked DaCosta. "No not yet. I was about to go see if transportation was ready until you arrived Yoruichi." He replied. "Alright, you keep working on it and I will guard Lacus." Yoru told him. As DaCosta left, Lacus had disappeared and Yoru could hear her singing. As Yoru walked told where Lacus was singing she put her long dark purple hair into a high ponytail. As she walked to the edge of the stage, Yoru checked to make sure her gun was loaded and listened to Lacus song. As her deep gold color eyes scanned her gun, Lacus's singing reminded Yoru of her little sister back home who wants to be a singer after being Lacus's number one fan. Yoru smiled to herself until she saw Athrun Zala creeping into the area. All of sudden Athrun had the gun pointed at Lacus demanding questions. Yoru walked calmly in front of Lacus with her gun in her holster on her thigh. "Who are you!" Athrun Demanded. "Do you not know the ghost of your past Athrun? Do you not remember the friend that shared so many secrets with you about dreams and the future?" Yoru asked calmly. "Yoruichi? I thought you were dead." Athrun said slightly lowering his gun. "In the eyes of your father I am." Yoru responded without emotion as tears threatened to spill from her eyes seeing her dear childhood friend. "Where the hell have you been?" He asked her. "I have been hiding from your father for eight years. Did he not tell you what he did?" Yoru replied to Athrun's question. "Tell me what?" he asked fully lowering his gun. Yoru saw his right in a sling knowing what happened in Orb. "Your father did not tell you how her murdered my parents and later my older brother?" Yoru asked with curiosity. "He told me they died in Junis Seven." He replied. "That damn idiot lied to you Athrun. He killed them in front of my eyes. He killed my parents first because my father had different views than your father and the two of them were very good friends. Then he later killed my older brother Yoshimura. Yoshi was trying to protect me and my little sister, Haru. After all the hell I went through just trying to walk forward I wish I died in Junis Seven." Yoru explained as she eyed some men in black suits file into the theater. Yoru unholstered her gun with lighting fast reflexes and fired at one of the suited men. "You Bitch!" One of the men yelled at her as he fired. Athrun grabbed Lacus and got her to safety. Some of the men that DaCosta left behind, in case something was to happen, joined the firefight. Once the men were killed it was a few minutes later when DaCosta made it back and asked Lacus if she was ready and she said yes. Yoru started to follow Lacus when a hand grabbed her hand. She looked behind her and saw Athrun. "Why are you doing this Yoruichi?" He asked her with pleading eyes. "I am doing this so others can have peace and this war come to a end as soon as possible. I am afraid I cannot talk long for the side you are on is not the side I am on. Ja Mata (See ya) Athrun." Yoruichi said with a smile before Athrun let her hand go. He stood there and watched her leave like the day he last saw her eight years ago.
