Summary: Elsa tells Anna the whole truth. How will Anna respond to Elsa's truth? Will this fledgling relationship fail before it even had a chance to grow?


Elsa was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief as they sat down on the plane. It wasn't the cushy first class seats, it wasn't even comfortable, but it was a random plane in a random airport and they weren't expected to be here. Elsa looked over at Anna and her eyes were still wide open, her pupils were still dilated and her breathing was ragged. She looked better than she did a few hours ago, but she was still in a state of shock. Seeing someone killed in front of you is a hard thing to take and then seeing several other dead bodies didn't help things. Elsa knew she needed to get Anna to calm down and she had an idea of how to do it. Elsa made a quick peak around the airplane and there wasn't anyone around them and the stewardess weren't due by for a bit.

"Anna my love," Elsa said, quietly and Anna turned and looked at her. "I'm going to try and help you calm down ok?" Anna just nodded her head. Elsa smiled at Anna and when Anna didn't return her smile Elsa thought that Anna might be worse off than she originally thought. Elsa then placed her hands on Anna's face and Anna responded by closing her eyes and rubbing her cheek against Elsa's hand. It just might work. Elsa then slid closer to Anna and pulled their lips together.

Elsa started slow as she just opened her mouth slightly and Anna followed suit. Quickly Elsa felt Anna's cheeks and face start to relax. Elsa could hear Anna's breathing start to slow and Elsa moved her tongue into Anna's mouth. Anna curled her own tongue around Elsa's just like yesterday. Elsa had trouble controlling herself and keeping her thoughts on making Anna better. The body memories from last night just screamed for more. Anna's hands moved up and untucked Elsa's shirt. Elsa knew they should stop, but Elsa just wanted to feel Anna's hands on her skin one more time. Anna's hand started stroking Elsa's stomach and Elsa had trouble catching her breath as Anna's touch was intoxicating.

Then Anna started to move her hands up towards Elsa's bra line. Elsa pulled away from the kiss and Anna whined a little, but when Anna opened her eyes Elsa could see that Anna's pupils had returned to a normal dilation. Anna's breathing had slowed as well "Why did you stop?"

"Because we are on an airplane and you seem like you are doing better," Elsa explained, with a smile. Anna looked around and then realized what she was doing and turned beat red. Anna then returned the smile and Elsa glowed with pride at Anna's quick bounce back.

"Elsa, what the hell?" There was the problem with getting Anna back to normal. Anna's amazingly smart brain would start to try and rationalize what just happened. That meant that Elsa would have to tell Anna the whole truth, which could cause Anna to hate Elsa. The thought of losing Anna was even worse now than it was a few days ago. At least a few days ago Elsa didn't really understand her feelings towards Anna. Now though Elsa knew that she loved Anna so very much and that losing Anna would be worse than death.

Tears started forming at Elsa's tear ducts as she looked at Anna's beautiful face. Elsa could see the same amount of love that Elsa felt for Anna reflected back towards her from Anna's face. That all might go away before this flight was over and the thought was almost more than Elsa could bear. "Why are you crying?" Anna asked, as she pulled Elsa into a hug.

"Because I'm afraid you will hate me after I explain what just happened," Elsa confessed, and hearing it out loud made it seem so much worse.

"I could never hate you. I love you," Anna said, as she pulled Elsa's face to look her in the eyes.

Anna started wiping away Elsa's tears and Elsa closed her eyes and focused on the fire of a candle burning away all emotion. After a second Elsa opened her eyes once again and had stopped crying. "You might not say that after you hear the whole story."

"So tell me the story and let me decide," Anna said, her slightly defiant side peeking out.

Elsa took a deep breath "Anna almost everything I have told you about me was a lie." Anna's eyes went wide with shock and then confusion, which was better than the betrayal that Elsa expected. "My name is not Elsa Queen. I don't even know what my birth name was, but I was adopted and raised as Elsa Morimoto."

"Like Yakuza –" Anna started, but Elsa interrupted. Elsa didn't want to stop because if she did she might chicken out.

"Yes I was raised by the leader of the Yakuza Organization. My birth father and Morimoto went to the same boarding school and were best friends. They made a pact that if anything happened to one another the other would take care of their children. So I grew up a Morimoto. Mother and Father never wanted me to go into that life, but that all changed when mother was killed." Elsa had to stop for a moment because the memories of her mother's death were painful.

"I was already years ahead in school so I started training in the martial arts. Mainly Ninjutsu and the art of assassination and before long I graduated from school four years early. I then started my role as a Yakuza hit man or woman," Elsa could see disbelief in Anna's eyes. Elsa was dreading the final part of the story because it was when Elsa would find out if she broke Anna's heart by telling her the truth and Anna would break Elsa's heart in turn. Elsa could feel tears already forming as she approached the end.

"The reason I transferred to your school was for a job for the Yakuza. The job was you Anna," Elsa saw the look of betrayal in Anna's eyes. "I wasn't supposed to kill you, but I was supposed to kidnap you. Then the Yakuza would have put pressure on your parents to allow certain Yakuza projects in the San Jose and San Francisco area. My plan was to befriend you and then get you to abandon your guards," Elsa tried to continue, but Anna stood up to walk around Elsa.

"I have to go to the bathroom," Anna said, but Elsa could see the tears in her eyes. Elsa's heart ached at the pain she was seeing in Anna's face.

"Please hear me out," Elsa pleaded.

"Are you going to prevent me from leaving?" the way Anna phrased the question tore at Elsa's heart.

"No never, but please hear me out and let me explain," Elsa pleaded through the tears.

"So I can't leave my capturer?" Anna said, with a cold voice that Elsa was sure Anna used to use in the past with her mother. Gone was Anna's warm, caring voice that was able to bring sunshine to the darkest part of Elsa's heart. Elsa couldn't speak anymore so she just stood up and let Anna pass. Elsa could see the tears in Anna's eyes as she walked past without looking at Elsa. Anna walked away and Elsa could only stare at her back as the tears started to really fall. Elsa sat back down in her chair as she didn't think her legs could hold her anymore.

Elsa didn't know how long she sat there crying when a voice rang out near her "You going to be ok?"

Elsa looked up and saw one of the stewardesses standing next to her seat. "Yea eventually," Elsa answered.

"What about your friend?" the stewardess asked while pointing towards the front of the plane. Elsa stood up and looked at where she was pointing and saw Anna's strawberry blond hair sitting alone far away from Elsa.

Elsa could feel more tears coming and her lips quivering "I don't know. I wasn't a good person when we met and told a lot of lies. Now though I want to be better for her and told her the truth. I think I broke her heart," Elsa whispered, as she collapsed back down into her seat.

"Telling someone the truth always hurts at first, but it is much better than keeping the lies. She might come around there is still a lot of flight left," the stewardess set a cup of ice and a can of water in front of Elsa. Elsa tried to get her emotions under control, but no matter how much she poured into the flame of the candle more emotions came up. Elsa never cried before two weeks ago even when her mother died. Now she cries all the time and Elsa hated it.

"I have decided to hear the rest of your story," Anna's beautiful voice rang out suddenly next to Elsa, it was still the cold voice from earlier. Elsa looked up and saw that Anna was sitting across the aisle from her. "Don't think that this means I forgive you or that things will go back to the way they were," Anna said, her eyes staring at Elsa.

"I'm sorry Anna," Elsa started with, because there is never a bad time to say it. Anna just silently stared at Elsa so Elsa continued from where she stopped. "My plan was to get you to abandon your own guards so that I could complete the mission, but the idea of causing you harm started to cause me pain and I didn't understand why. It never bothered me before to cause people pain, but just the thought of you in any sort of pain caused me pain," Elsa then pointed to her heart, "Pain right here unlike any pain I had felt in the past."

"I started to have doubts about what I was doing, but then I went to your house and saw the Triad leader at the party –"

"Triad like Chinese organized crime ring Triad?" Anna asked, her anger faded into shock.

"Yes Mr. Jou Suang is actually Mr. Sui Ming the equivalent of my father in the Chinese Triad," Elsa explained. "That was when I found out that the Yakuza wasn't the only organization interesting in your parents or you. I was contacted by my people to protect you from the other organizations until I could take you instead."

"Wait so my parents do business with the Chinese Triad?" Anna asked, with skepticism.

"Yes, they even do business with the Japanese Yakuza. Mr. Narishima was actually Jet Morimoto, one of my adopted fathers cosines," Elsa replied and Anna's eyes narrowed as Elsa just reviled another lie. "I still don't like him for the reasons I told you, he looked at me like that since I was very little and I have not liked him for years now." Elsa waited for Anna to say something else, but instead Anna just sat there quietly. So Elsa continued "Then came the dinner with your parents. Afterword's I was seriously doubting the job that I was sent to do, because A. I was falling in love with you and B. I started to feel that even if you were taken that your parents wouldn't do what the organization thought they would to get you back."

When Elsa said that she was falling in love with Anna, Anna's eyes narrowed again. That little gesture was like pin pricks in Elsa's heart. "I thought about trying to get the whole thing called off, but an intruder broke into my house. I had to fight him off and that is how I got the injuries that you saw this morning. When I searched him afterword I found daggers that looked like the daggers that I carry every assassination mission. I took the daggers apart and found the exact same makers marks that my daggers carry. So I knew that the assassin was sent by the Yakuza." Anna eyes went wide with shook and then narrowed.

"I then tried to contact my father and couldn't get in contact with him. I then went to call my grandmother and that was when I found out that my father and last surviving grandmother had been killed." Anna's face had doubt in it, but Elsa just continued not wanting to stop again. "So I opened an envelope that my father always made me carry in case of emergencies. When I opened it I found a letter that told me that I needed to run and hide, new identification that was clean and money. As my adopted fathers only living child I could present a potential threat to the new controlling family. So they will do their best to find and kill me, but you are still in danger because of what you parents can do. I could have run and disappeared, but I didn't I stayed to be with you and protect you."

Elsa finished and looked at Anna, hoping that some of the warmth might have returned to Anna's face when they looked at each other. Anna's eyes were moving as they often did when Anna was thinking things over. The warmth had not returned, but the doubt and coldness wasn't as bad as it was before. "I'm sorry. I really am," Elsa said, and it seemed to bring Anna out of her thoughts, "but I do love you and I hope that my honesty now and from this point forward will rebuild your trust. I'm will to wait and work as hard as necessary to earn you love and trust again."

Anna blinked several times before standing up "I don't know what to believe anymore." Anna then walked away and Elsa's heart dropped into her stomach. Elsa watched as Anna retook her seat towards the front of the aircraft. Elsa's chest felt like there was a gaping hole right through her and nothing was going to fix it or make Elsa whole again.
