Keeping Faith Chapter 8

Yzak allowed the guards to tie his hands and be led to the same room he had been in before. He had been there countless of times now and his plan was working brilliantly. He sat across from Kit once again, but this time she untied his hands. But Yzak smirked as though he had expected the trust. Last time he had been there he had continued to feed her lies about how unhappy he was in ZAFT and with his wife. He claimed he was bored and was looking for something new. And now Kit had called him back in hopes of offering him a solution.

"So…Yzak," she said using his first name casually. "Are you ready to start something new?" She approached him and leaned in close. "There is…so much I can offer," she said and placed a hand on his cheek. She traced the new scar she herself had given him. "I like this," she said.

"Me too," he smirked, raising his hand to meet hers on his face. Suddenly he grasped her wrist tightly. "Don't even think about calling for help," he said. She smirked.

"I like it rough," she purred.

"Yeah…me too," Yzak said as he raised his knee swiftly to her stomach. She collapsed onto the ground. He grabbed the keys in her pocket.

"Sorry Kit, but I love my life and freedom. And I don't forgive people who harm my subordinates. I will come back to kill you," he snarled and ran out of the room. He kicked down the guard outside of the room and stole his gun. He sprinted down the hall back towards the cell.

"SOMEONE STOP HIM!" Someone yelled and the alarm began to sound.

"You ready Annie?" he said as he began to fiddle with the keys. "Fuck!" he gasped as a bullet hit his left shoulder.

"Commander!" Annie said rushing out of the cell. "Are you ok?" she asked. He grabbed her wrist.

"Fine, just fucking run." He said as he began to dart down hallways.

"How are we…"

"We're going to steal back one of our suits," he said while running up steps.

"But your shoulder…" she screamed suddenly as a bullet flew by her head.

"Just run, it doesn't matter," he said. Annie glanced worriedly at his shoulder which was bleeding a decent amount. Yzak was trying his best not to notice. This plan had to work. This was their one chance, he could never gain Kit's trust again and if they got recapture, they would probably be killed. He continued down hallways until he finally discovered where the launch area was. "Here we go. Get one started." He pushed Annie in the direction of the suits.

"But…"

"Do it!" he yelled and ran to confront one of the technical crew members. He stopped a shorter boy. "Open the hatch when I get in the cockpit."

"Uh…okay," the boy answered stupidly. Yzak paused to wonder why this boy was being so helpful, but he ignored it and ran after Annie. He winced as another bullet hit his side. He raised himself into the suit.

"Move over," he said tiredly. He waited until the hatch began to open.

"How did you get that boy to open the hatch?"

"I just asked. Must not have realized we were the escapees," Yzak chucked. He launched just as there was enough room to escape.

"What if they follow us?"

"Then we'll fight them. I'm getting you home Annie,"

"Commander…" she said. "Let me fly then…you're hurt," she said. Back on the ship Kit was cursing and throwing a tantrum.

"I can't believe I let him get the best of me…" she scowled. "Fuck."

"Are we going after them?" a guard asked.

"No…they'll come back. And when they do, I'm going to kill him," she said as she began to return to her cabin.

"This is Councilman and Commander Yzak Joule requesting docking permission," Yzak said in to the transmission as he and Annie neared the PLANTS.

"Joule? Hold on,"But you're supposed to be MIA?" An officer said warily.

"Yeah well I'm not fucking MIA anymore, open the God damned hatch! I have two bullets in me that I would like to get out!" he yelled.

"That's Yzak alright," Dearka said. He had been called immediately not only to identify Yzak's voice, but to be told that his friend was alive. "Dock that machine.

After Annie and Yzak landed, Yzak began to lower himself and Annie out of the machine.

"Yzak! Annie! I don't believe it. Just when people were starting to think you really were dead…you show up! Yzak's feet touched the ground and he immediately clutched his shoulder and sank to the ground.

"Did you really think…I'd die…so easy," he rasped. Dearka began to run over, seeing that there was trouble.

"He needs a doctor right now! He was shot in the shoulder and side!"

"CALL AN AMBULANCE!" Dearka yelled. "What about you?" Dearka asked glancing towards Annie as he helped Yzak lie down.

"I'm…fine," she said closing her eyes, willing the images out of her mind.

"Annie…you should…tell…" Yzak whispered.

"Shut up, stupid! You're practically dying!" Annie yelled, but quickly covered her mouth as she remembered her place. Yzak squinted at her.

"Shiho?" he asked. Annie gasped.

"No no, it's Annie, but you'll get to see your wife soon," Annie said glancing fearfully at Dearka.

"Fuck," Dearka muttered as Yzak closed his eyes.

"Shiho…Shiho? Are you hearing me?" Ezalia called into the phone.

"Alive…alive. I don't…believe it." She began to cry. She'd been waiting for this phone call for months now. It didn't seem real.

"He's at the hospital. I pick you up," Ezalia said.

"Yes! Oh please…hurry!" Shiho said. She ran as fast as she could upstairs to where Keeley was playing. For the first time in months she looked at her daughter straight in the eyes. Eyes that matched her husband's, but younger and more innocent. She smiled. "Keeley," she whispered, picking her up.

"Mommy?" Keeley asked.

"How would you like to see Daddy?" she asked. Keeley clapped her hands.

"Yes!"

"But you must know, Daddy is very hurt, so we must be nice and quiet," Shiho said.

"Huwt?" Keeley asked.

"He has some very bad boo-boos," she explained to the three-year old.

"Oh ok…well den I have to get someting befowe we go," she said wriggling out her mothers arms.

Yzak was half-asleep on his bed. He was tired from pain, bloodloss and the stress of the escape. He still couldn't believe it had worked. He wondered where Annie was and he hoped she had told someone. But more he wondered where the two people he wanted to see most were. He began to sit up since sleeping wasn't an option. He winced as his side began to ache.

"Fuck…damn it all!" he yelled.

"You never were really good with pain, Yzak Joule." Yzak glanced towards the doorway.

"Shiho…" he whispered.

"DADDY!" Keeley ran and jumped onto his bed. "I've missed you," she said smiling. Shiho gasped hoping that Keeley hadn't hit him.

"I've missed you too, Princess," he said running his right hand through her hair.

"Mommy telled me that you had some bad boo-boos, so I bwought band-aids!" she said pulling out a box of band-aids, they were decorated with Boobahs, her favorite television show. Yzak laughed.

"That's great!" he said. She pulled one out and began to fumble with it. She kept getting her fingers stuck to it. Shiho giggled happily. "Let me help you sweetie," he said.

"NO! I can do it!" she yelled. Finally she placed it on his nose. "All bettew!" she cried happily.

"I feel much better," he agreed.

"When can you leave?" Shiho asked.

"Hopefully soon," he said. "I want to come home."

"How could you almost have left me?" she whispered. Keeley was still fumbling around with her band-aids. He grabbed her hand

"I'm so sorry, for not being here," he said motioning towards Keeley and then placing a hand on her belly. "I mean look at how fat you got while I wasn't here," he teased. Shiho frowned.

"Well, that's what happens when we women bear children for you men," she laughed.

"I'm glad everything is ok. How much longer?" he asked. She held up three fingers. She placed one on his face where the scar was.

"How did you get this again?" she asked.

"I'll explain later," he said tiredly as he began to think about the recent events.

"You have a lot of explaining to do," she said.

"And so do you! I hear you've caused quite a fuss on the council," he said. Shiho blushed.

"Maybe, but I'll let you sleep, but I do think that your mother wants to see you. She's missed you too. Come on Boobah queen," she said picking Keeley up.

"Aww…Alweady?" she whined.

"You'll be able to see Daddy as much as you want soon," Shiho said.

"I wuv you, Daddy!" she waved.

"I love you too, Keeley," he said and stared at Shiho as she smiled. Her smile said everything.
