Tears of blood

[Red Rose]

...........Ms. Carevire's home, L2.............
The silver glinted as it traced her arm, leaving a thin river of red following in it's wake. Intarell Carevire, head of L2, respected politician, beloved sign of peace and now she could add Political maryter to the list. Placing the knife in her fingers he let it drop to the ground in a natural pose.

..........Ms. Carevire's home, L2, 3 hours later..................
The flash of the camera was bright, but but the open eyes of the leader of L2 did not blink, they would never blink again. Une sucked in her breath, this was not something she was happy about. They had had peace for so long, beautiful peace, and now she was staring down the corpse of a beloved political figure who had commited suicide.
"I want preliminary suspects by noon tommorow" Une said, not looking at the preventers behind her, no-one moved. Une turned around "Well? What are you waiting for?" the preventers who were present rushed foward to examine the body. Slit wrists, clearly she bled to death by her own hand. The knife was in a natural position.
"How do we know she didn't kill herself?" a young preventer asked
"We don't. But i want cold hard confirmation that she did kill herself, so examine the body!"
"Yes Ma'm!" the preventers went back to their diligent work.

..........Peacecraft mansion, earth...................
Relena screamed as the letter fluttered from her hand. Intarell Carevire had been like a mother to her, a confidant and one of the people closest to Relena's heart. They had spent countless hours awake at night working to establish a firm bond between the colonies and earth. She collapsed in tears, forgetting the bottom of the letter asked her to address the people in an hour.
"Relena?" Pagen knocked on the door. Throwing herself fowards Relena locked it and slid down the door, burying her face in her hands. "Relena are you alright?" she didn't respond.
"Outta the way Pagen man" Duo said. PUlling a lock-pick from his braid he expertly picked the lock and opened the door. "lena?" Relena had jumped to her feet and locked herself in the bathroom, then climbed out the window. Right now she was making her way across the lawn, letting her tears flow freely. All that mattered was getting to the woods, getting away. Relena ignored the biting pain in her feet and kept running. Finally she collapsed in a clearing, exaustion making her mind spin and then go blissfully blank. Duo found her and picked her up gently, trying not to wake her. He got her back to the house safetly.
"I take it she's not going to make the address" Pagen said simply and went to contact the correct media officials. Duo frowned as his phone rang. Pulling it out he took the call.
"Hang on" Duo said "I'm from L2, i'll give the address" he offered. Pagen raised his eyebrows
"You're from L2?"
"Yeah" Duo said laying Relena down
"Very well"

.........Directly outside the Peacecraft mansion, earth, Media address...........
"Ladies and gentlemen: Mister Duo Maxwell" Duo stood up and walked to the podium.
"A few hours ago, a great woman was found dead in her own home. Intarell Carevire was more than a leader, she stood for the peace and dedication that is so rare today. As someone growing up in L2, I know how much has changed since Ms. Carevire came into power. As a former gundam pilot I know what war and division do to people. In light of that, it is my pleasure to accept Lady Une's offer to take over Ms. Carevire's position as leader of L2" Big mistake, duo realized a second later, when all he saw was blue flashes. Settling his nerves Duo relaxed into his casual good humor and answere all the reporters questions.

...........Preventer's mourge, L4...............
Doctor Hilde Schbeiker walked down the hallways of the mourge in L4, the manilla folder clutched under her arm. Pushing open the door to special exam room 2 she walked inside. Everyone was gone, Hilde worked in private. Because she was brilliant at her work they let her instead of having tons of assistants around. She examined the body of the woman infront of her. Slit wrists. Hilde shook her head, suicide was for the weak. But Carevire was not weak. Frowning hilde examined the cuts on her wrist and gasped. There was no clotting--they were post-mortum, done when the person had already been killed. Hilde dialed the number for x-rays and bloodwork.
"I want full blood-work on this body, and x-rays"
"Why?"
"Do it!" Hilde yelled furiously and hung up. She called Lady Une's private number "Une--it wasn't suicide!" Une gasped "SHe was murdered! THe cuts, the cuts were post-mortum, they were made after she died!"
"I know what post mortum is!" Une hung up and called the preventer team "There is evidence Ms. Carevire was murdered, get down to the mourge for bloodwork and examine the crime scene" she hung up and sighed, this was going to be a long week.

Intrigued by the opening.

..........privat eplane of Verona Isarelle, head of L1.............
Midii Une leaned back in her chair, placing her feet carefully on the desk in a very unlady-like guesture. But at the moment she was in a private plane high above the ocean and no-one was watching anyway. A famous politician, Verona Isarelle looked almost exactly like Midii. Isarelle was a good friend of her mothers and decided to hire Midii as a secratary and decoy. They had switched places for the moment, each going on separate planes to fool the would-be assasins. SInce Carevire's death, high levels of security were being taken. Midii didn't mind, it was nice up here. Suddenly the plane shook. Midii looked around, startled as the plane did a barrell roll. Suddenly it went into a tail spin. The only thing Midii saw out of the windows was the approaching blue sea.
"Trowa" she whispered before all went black.

...........Sky to Water fighter jet.....................
Trowa was a little farther away on a fighter jet. He found the circus was fun but it got a little boring after a while. He still particiapted in it from time to time but he started working for the Aerial branch of the Preventers. Right now he was testing an airplane that could land on the water and take off again. It would be good for sneaking up on people. Checking the controls he looked up and saw the private plane in the distance go into a tail spin. Without a second thought Trowa slammed the controls into high speed and shot ahead of the others, landing perfectly on the water. Opening the cockpit he took a breath and dove into the icy water. THe plane had broken in half, causing it to sink quickly. Trowa pulled the pilot, copilot and two other men from one half of the wreckage. As he turned to go to the surface, he saw Midii in the other part of the ship. Trowa dove downwards, trying to reach the doomed craft before it was too late. He reached out and grabbed Midii's arm, but she was stuck in the wreckage. Cursing diplomatic situations that forced people to wear frilly cloths, he untangled her and pulled her free. Pushing off the airplane he shot to the surface. Midii had a long gash over her eye but seemed to be alright. Trowa looked around, the other four people weren't around, but the water was becoming rather red.....sharks! Trowa cimbed into the airplane and pulled Midii up with him before the sharks could get them. He started the plane and flew upwards, not noting that the ski's used to land were half eaten.
"Midii?" Trowa put the plane on auto-pilot "Midii?" she didn't respond. He felt for a pulse and found one, but she wasn't breathing. Trowa laid her across the co-pilot's seat and prayed he wasn't too late to save her....................

[Akasha]

Very intrigued....

[Red Rose]

.................Sky to Water Fighter Jet.................
Midii was breathing again, but her pulse was weak and her breathing was shallow. Trowa was flying very fast towards the landing dock. Unconciously he pulled the cross he had under his shirt and gripped it tightlyl.
'I can't even tell the one I love that I love him' her words echoed in his head and once again he wondered if she was talking about him.
"Gods I'm turning into Heero" Trowa muttered forgetting his radio was on.
"I can hear you" Heero's unmistable voice said from the control tower "Your landing gear's shot, get ready to abandon ship, I've got a med crew on standby. How many wounded are in the ship?"
"Just one: Midii Une" Heero winced, he wasn't stupid, he knew exactly who Midii Une was and what she ment to Trowa Barton.

..........Aerial branch Control tower, Kyoto, Japan..............
SO after the war, Heero had sworn he'd survive. Well it turns out survival was a bit harder without the life-on-the-line existance. Until, of course, Wulfie had given him some good advice. It had been during a party, Someone had asked why Wulfie didn't believe in Pacifism:
'there will always be need for a warrior, even during peace. Because, the only real way to have peace and to maintain it is to fight for it. That is why I do not believe in pacifism'
For some reason those words made sense to Heero and Lady Une was more than happy to put him to work and assigned him to the newely created Preventer's Aerial Branch...which now was a very deadly force and Heero was one of those in charge. He refused the position of 'Head of the Aerial Prevernters' because then he'd be stuck at a desk for hours with paper work.
"sir, the plane's coming into view" Heero leaned into the radio
"Trowa, prepare to abandon ship"
"Prepped and ready to go" Trowa said, making sure Midii was safetly in his arms
"Go now!" he didn't need to be told twice, at Heero's command Trowa ejected from the plane and landed safely in the water. He pushed to the surface and climbed out. Medic's took Midii from him and rushed her off to the medical bay.


*****AUTHOR'S NOTES***********
I just got insparation for this story and so i'm writing it
don't be fooled though, there's going to be plenty of HY&RP action, along with some other couples, but focusing on them
So.....yeah.......oh and Duo and Hilde haven't seen each other in years and she doesn't know he just signed up to be the head of L2.
And Duo as a politician? Well i wanted to try it out, hope it doesn't fail miserably

............Preventers Mourge, L4.....................
Hilde was pacing. The bloodwork and x-rays were due back in 4 min. and 30 seconds, no 29...well who was counting anyway? Her bottom lip was sandwiched between her teeth, this was agrivating and getting on her nerves. She grabbed the remote and clicked on the news, she wanted to know if the media had gotten word of this. Pouring coffee she took a sip.
"After Forgien Minister Peacecraft refused to speak, Duo Maxwell, ex gundam pilot spoke in her stead and delivered some suprising news. Brian McGuiness has the full story" the camera switched to the Senate Building and a man standing outside it.
"Thank you, I'm standing infront of the ESUN's Senate Building where Duo Maxwell, the former gundam pilot, has just been sworn in as Head of L2" Hilde choked on her coffee. Coughing she made the volume louder. Her head was spinning, Duo? A politician? Well she was a former solider who was now a doctor........but still, Duo?
"Suprised?" Hilde gasped and spun around to face the new head of L2.
"D-d-y-y-d--" she could only sputter
"Well hello to you to" he laughed good naturedly. Inside, well inside it was a single thought amongst the turmoil:
'god she's gorgeous'
