All right first of all I do not own Gundam Seed or Gundam Seed Destiny in any shape way or form just the ideas and later chapter that goes for everything else that has to do with songs or something that's not mine and copyright belong to someone else. I intend to make this a short multi-chapter story to get me out of my author's block so I can finish the stories I'm currently working on I intend to finish this story in a month or two period just to give my ideas and inspiration.

Summary/Background: Lacus and Kira had been best-friends since they were four years old as well as Athrun and Cagalli. Cagalli's and Kira's parents are the same Ulen and Via Hibiki. This story will not include any Gundam Seed technology including mobile suits and those sorts of things. This story will be based on today's technology and Earth bound. This is a Fanfiction and none of this had actually happened this is what ifs questions and if the military end up going to my front door step because of it I will be highly pissed off so this is all made up except some events that flow through our timeline. During senior year Kira Yamato will be known as Kira Hibiki till later on has been drafted to the United States military and is force to fight in the front lines forcing him to leave his family and friends. Life is affected due to his departure that's when the true story begins.

Chapter 1: Goodbye

Kira silently walked towards Lacus's house deep within his own thoughts. Something was bugging him and Lacus couldn't quite put a finger on what's happening. Lacus had attempted in every way to force Kira to tell her what the matter however all Kira did for the past week that he was in this state was smile at her and his friends and family and said nothing was the matter. Lacus was starting to worry about her long time best-friend who she secretively loved. As they turn the corner they could see Lacus's house a little farther down the road little did she know this was the last time she will be hearing from Kira.

"Well this is my stop I'll see you tomorrow?" Lacus questioned.

Kira turned towards Lacus looking her deep within her sapphire like diamond eyes with his purple like eyes. She couldn't quite place a finger on it but something was up and she didn't like it seeing Kira's eyes full of mix emotions.

"Kira are you all right?" Lacus asked.

Kira merely nod his head. Within a blink of an eye Kira wrapped his arms around Lacus not knowing how to react to his sudden movements Lacus immediately tensed up before melting into Kira's warm embrace. After a couple minutes Kira pulls away from Lacus and looked into her eyes. He carefully leaned towards Lacus capturing her lips with his own. The kiss was only momentary before Lacus could deepen it Kira quickly pull away. He looks at Lacus and smiled before waving at her and walked away. Lacus stepping into her house watch as Kira walked down her drive way he stopped momentarily before taking another glanced at Lacus. His eyes fixed into Lacus's before continuing walking towards his own home. Lacus silently closed the door leaning on it before slowly letting her legs slowly melt as she inclined down to a sitting position before merely touching her lips. Her first kiss- she felt terrific though it was stolen she knew that Kira will be the one who stole her first kiss anyway. Dazed at what happened she heard her mom call out.

"Lacus honey is that you?"

"Yes mom it's me?" Lacus called out than whispered to herself, "Kira…"

Kira quickly and quietly enter his house knowing his parents will be at work and his twin sister will be over at Athrun's house. He slowly climbed the steps of the upstairs and walking towards his room. He opened his door and quickly looked around him admiring his room for what may be the last time. He walked toward his bedroom dresser looking around for the paper he had been looking at for countless nights for weeks end. Finally finding the paper he stared at it long and hard his life was about to change and it seems he had no control of the outcome. The war the United States was fighting against the Middle East had been going on for way too long. The estimated time for the war to end is between six to ten years now. All turned to worst after some Middle East countries joined forces to make an effort against the war they were fighting. The war was now brutal and nothing was coming easy for both sides though the United States had air and sea advantage there was really nothing cutting going in and taking over to establish who was in charge though the United States was reluctant they estimated that if they don't do anything soon that the war will prolong to a hundred years and threats to the country was not ignored and many of those threats did come true. He looked towards his closet knowing that his belongings that he could take including his laptop, some clothing due to the fact that the military will provide the necessity and other things that Kira will end up using was in his bag ready for his departure in early Saturday morning though he was going to do it long before then. He looked at the uniform that the military kindly gave him touching the rough fabric with his delicate fingers. He knows his father will not approve of this madness so he end up processing a paper that will change his last name to Yamato problem is it will take at least a year to accomplish. His mind is mixed with confusion being drafted by all means has a high chances of death something he didn't think he would be thinking of for another thirty if not more years.

Kira had no outlook for war for the moment though he read all this war stories that with hero's he admire like George Washington, Robert E. Lee, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and other names that made a lot of difference in the war. He wanted to make a difference and he has enough high school credits to pass him long before he started his senior year getting his diploma all ready though he did tell his counselors he wanted to enjoy his final year as what everybody will consider as a kid before taking big steps into life. War was not something to brag about Kira knows this however he had no intention of betraying his country and fleeing somewhere like Mexico or Canada. Once drafted there was little a person can do about the subject though there was always the prospective of paying someone's self out of it the expenses was something he or his parents could not afford being in the high middle class he did not want to be anymore bother to his parents than he already is.

His eyes drifted to pictures in his room with his long child-hood friend Athrun who he considered his best friend if Lacus wasn't already fulfilling that occupation to his sister, parents and many friends. His eyes than finally drifted to the one person that could possibly make him stay in a heartbeat if she ask him too- Lacus. The girl found and pushed her way to Kira's heart long before he knew the meaning of love something he didn't quite yet able to come in terms with. He remembers the kiss he gave her just earlier and it still lingers into Kira's lips and his heartbeat quicken with thoughts of Lacus and him together- something only fantasy can fulfill Lacus being in the upper class financial wise as well as Athrun. Lacus father had never approve of Kira something that Kira can never get since Kira matches Lacus's father in intelligence and wit something that somebody can just walk in and say.

Before Kira knew the time it was all ready ten past two- his parents and sister had already been home for quite some time as Kira sat on his chair near his desk. Quickly rampaging through his desk he found the letters he made days after he found out he had been drafted. Leaving it at his desk he decided to see if the coast is clear and take a quick shower before he put on his military uniform something he never thought he would be wearing. Letting the hot water linger on Kira's body he couldn't help but relax due to his tense muscles that had been there but quickly tense up after realizing he might not be coming back. After thirty minutes Kira was fully dress and ready grabbing his bag he quickly and quietly made his way out the front door locking it behind him. He walked all the way to the street and turned to see his childhood house something he was always familiar with and welcome him with arms wide open. A tear slip past his eyes before he started to head out towards the military outpost a couple miles down the road.

After a short walk he turned around for the last time to look at his house down the street.

"I guess this is goodbye I hope to see you again someday" Kira said his tone filled with sadness and burden weighing down on him.

(****************)

"Kira don't go!" Lacus screamed as she sat up straight sweat pouring down her face mixed with tears that found its way down her eyes.

Looking around Lacus recognize her room.

"It was only a dream…" Lacus half cried as her head found its way down to her pillow again her eyes staring at the white coloring of her ceiling. The pain she felt during the dream was only the beginning not knowing that Kira had left.
