Chapter 1: A New Beginning

Kira Yamato stood on the balcony of his house, watching the sky. It was almost dawn; the sun hadn't com up yet. It had been a few years since the end of the war, but he didn't feel right about it…almost as if there were something sinister looming in the horizon. He couldn't be happier right now though, he had a family now…he was a proud husband and father. His wife, Lacus, had just had their first son, Kazuki almost two months ago, around a year and a half after they married. They named him Kazuki because it meant "pleasant peace" or "first of a new generation", which indeed he was of the first generation in this era of peace. He was a beautiful baby boy, he had rich brown hair with red streaks here and there (likely from his mother's pink hair, it just darkened to red because of Kira's dark brown hair), his mother's crystal blue eyes, and he was a coordinator without a doubt, because they both were coordinators.

"This is a beautiful day, everything is perfect…sigh…almost too perfect." He said to himself, continuing to look at the sky, the sun was coming up on the horizon. He didn't want another war, and he was glad that there was peace, but his warrior instincts couldn't help but feel that he hadn't seen the last of fighting…which made him feel down, he didn't want to have to kill again, that was what he hated most about war. His thoughts were interrupted though by light footsteps coming up behind him. He turned around and saw his wife standing close behind him, carrying their sleeping son. "Good morning you two, how are you?" Kira whispered as he pulled his wife into a hug and gave her a kiss.

"Good morning, we're fine, just making sure I'm ready to go when he wakes up." Lacus replied when they pulled apart, gently rocking Kazuki back and forth. She then looked at Kira with a little concern in her eyes, she could tell he had something on his mind, and asked, "What about you? Are you alright? You seem worried about something."

"Oh, no, I'm fine…just thinking about this peace and how I don't want it to end …that's all." Kira replied, looking down with a little concern.

"Is that all? I understand…I don't want it to end either…but we shouldn't worry too much, Earth and the colonies are on good terms right now, I don't see war breaking out again between the two any time soon." His wife assured him as she leaned up against him.

"Yeah…you're right. No reason to worry, it's probably just the warrior side of my personality being cautious, ha-ha-ha." He laughed as they went back into the house. They went through their usual morning routine, Lacus made breakfast while Kira began to feed Kazuki because he had woken up not long after they entered the house. As he cradled his son in his arms placing a bottle in his son's mouth, he looked around his house, observing the several medals he had earned during the war. He was proud of them…but they all had a bitter memory that came with that pride, most of those medals came at the expense of lives he didn't want to end…but it was necessary to protect his friends, their future, and himself…and if it meant everyone he cared for would be safe, then he'd kill any foe without question, and that's why he was proud of them-it showed he cared enough about his family and friends enough to risk his life. He then turned to his uniform, folded nicely in a glass case. It was white with military decorations on it; he was a high ranking captain of the new ZAFT army, despite being only twenty years old, he had even been offered the rank of Admiral due to his military prowess, but he kindly refused so he could be with his family as much as he could. He requested to be listed as a "captain on inactive duty" for now though, he was always ready to go back to fight should he need too, despite how he felt about war, he felt it was necessary in order to protect everyone he loved and cared for.

His thoughts were interrupted as the head butler of the house, Yori came in and politely announced, "Master Yamato, you have a video call waiting for you on line one…he says he's 'an old friend of yours', a Mr. 'Mu La Flaga', I believe he said was his name. Should I tell him to call back later, being as you're tending to the little master, sir?" When the two heard "Mu La Flaga", they looked at each other with shock, they hadn't heard from him in a while (not that they worried about it, he was just busy as of late, and they understood, he was also a high ranking captain).

Kira quickly looked back at the butler and replied, "No, no, it's alright, I'll speak with him, inform Mr. Flaga I'll be right with him. Thank you, Yori." With that, Yori bowed and left the kitchen to perform the task. Kira stood up and walked over to the video conference room while carrying Kazuki. He sat down on the couch and the video screen came on, revealing the face of his friend.

"Good morning, Kira…hey, what's that little bundle you have in your…oh…no way, who'd have thought? Congratulations!!! What's your baby's name?" He said in shock, he was glad, but it didn't expect for Kira and Lacus to have a baby this soon, no one really did, what with the war only ending not too long ago.

"Oh, thank you Mu, his name is Kazuki. How are you, bud?" Kira replied with a big smile on his face.

"Oh just great, I finished up patrolling the outer colonies, so far it has been very quiet. Except for earlier today…we found something…and it isn't good…" Mu replied, his face was dead serious, something had happened.

"What was it, Mu?" Kira asked with a serious tone, catching on the tense Mu.

A/N: What did Mu find? What ever it is, be certain it isn't good. Please RnR!!!!! D
