Star Alliance

Prologue
Our story takes place in C.E. 75, a year after the second Bloody Valentine war. They said everything was over; the war, the fear, the death. Once again they were wrong. Who is this 'they' I speak of? Well let me tell you everything that has happened since the last war. Lacus Clyne became the PLANT Supreme chair and helped keep peace along with Cagalli Yulla Athha. For a year there was silence; no sign of war or hint of danger. Yet within the darkness lurks a plan, one that could destroy the peace everyone had so longed for. How long will we last without a war?
Ch. I
It was a very boring morning when I felt a shove on my shoulder. First I only opened one eye to see who it was, and then quickly closed it. "Come on Murasaki, you have work to do." A woman said. From my window I could see that the clouds were dark grey and heavy with water. It'll rain soon, I thought. With a quick sigh I sat upright in bed and looked at the doorway where Shiho stood, arms crossed over her chest. Jeez I hadn't slept in that long had I? Sticking out my tongue in a childish manner I waved her away, "Fine I can get showered and dressed on my own you know." However by the way she was looking at me, she probably highly doubted it.
As my feet touched the icy floor I raced to my closet and grabbed my uniform and undergarments, then closing the bathroom door behind me with a slam. Before I turned on the shower I heard the door close; she had probably left. Oh well it was her own fault, she didn't have to wait for me. Pushing the button for hot water I yawned and then rubbed my eyes, still trying to wake up. When the water was finally at the right temperature I stripped and carefully slipped in to the shower. My hair is what took the longest, since its long.
Not much later I came out of the bathroom in my underwear and a shirt, hair dry and shiny, only to find Dearka sitting on the edge of my bed. "How the…why are you in my room?!" I yelled and picked up a magazine, about to throw it at him. Like always he arched an eyebrow and raised his hands sarcastically, as if he was surrendering.
"Just thought you would want breakfast before you left." He pointed next to him on the bed, where there was juice pack and melon bread. Slipping my skirt on, I tucked in my shirt and then clipped my belt. Putting on my maroon jacket I zipped it closed and sighed, looking back at him. "Thanks Dearka." I grabbed my knee high stockings and sat down next to him, figuring he would just get up and leave. Then again I should have known better. Right as I was about to slip the stocking on my leg I felt him take my face in his hands and kiss me.
Had I been prepared I could've fought back easier but instead I was so thrown off guard that I allowed myself to be pushed back on the bed. "Elthman why you- get off me…" I snapped and pushed him away. When he saw that I was blushing he grinned. "You know Murasaki; it would just be easier if you went out with me." He said with a laugh. Once I had finished getting dressed, and had pulled my hair back in a braid, I ate the breakfast he had given me. Melon bread is amazing… I thought.
Before I left my room I made sure I had everything I needed and cleared my throat. Dearka knew what I meant and exited my room, leaving before me.
Orb; Athha mansion
Dawn was just coming when I heard footsteps in the hallway. Rubbing my eyes sleepily I pushed my blonde hair from in front of my face and swung my feet over the edge of my bed. Who could be here this early, I thought to myself. Putting on my robe I crept out of my room and walked down the softly carpeted hallway in the direction of the kitchen. As I turned the corner and stepped on to the cold linoleum I was taken aback by what I saw. Sitting at the table was Asuran while my brother was making breakfast. "Uhm…" was all I could manage to say.
Kira should have been with Lacus in the PLANTs so why was he here? Both turned to look at me and Asuran blushed a bit. Shaking his head my brother told him to take care of the breakfast as he took me by the shoulders and pushed me back to my room. "Get dressed. Civilian clothing will be fine; we will be heading on a little trip." He said. I wanted to say something however he left before I could. Hm what are they up to… I thought.
After I had taken my shower I saw that a maid had already picked out an outfit for me; a light purple shirt with some lace, blue jeans, a choker with a rare blue stone dangling, and two pearl bracelets. Oh well this would have to due. I could smell food in the kitchen and it was making my stomach growl. Now to get some answers from these two; I entered the kitchen once more, leaning against the granite counter. "Why are you both here? And what is this little trip you are talking about, Kira?" I asked –trying not to sound too irked.
My brother, who was now sitting down and reading the news online, looked at me and smiled like he always did. "Calm down Cagalli, we are just going to the beach. You already have permission to go so do not think of backing out." He said. Asuran just laughed a bit but caught my glare apparently and shut up. I hated being thrown around like a toy; it seemed everyone wanted to do that. Grabbing a piece of toast I took a large bite and looked away from the duo. Seriously annoying, that is what they are.
Republic of East Asia; Hanger A-2
Stretching my arms over my head I looked up at the new space battleship that I had been assigned to work on and shook my head. What were they planning now? The treaty clearly stated that no more weapons would be made. Uhg this was great; I had to be part of it. Squeezing the bridge of my nose I turned and was about to leave when I heard someone running up behind me. Turning around I saw a mechanic waving for me to stop. Damn I was caught, I sighed.
"Com-man-der!!" he yelled. Yawning I stuffed my hands in my pockets and waited for the boy to catch up. "Yes? Is there something you need?" I asked. He nodded while trying to catch his breath. The sun was slowly getting higher in the sky which meant I would soon be on duty, great. Pulling papers from his back pocket the boy handed them to me and bowed, "I was told to tell you that is a list of the crew which will be coming on the Lahaye."
I sighed and nodded, waving him off and then turning back, heading towards my car. One name that stood out was Murasaki Ayumeko. I had met her a year or so back; and I can remember this because I hit on her at a peace ball and she smacked me. At that time I wondered if all young female coordinators were like that but once I had met some more I knew she just had an odd personality. Sliding in to the driver's seat of my black sports car I set the papers down and smiled. Now she would have to deal with me. But something was still making me curious –why were there going to be people from ZAFT aboard the ship? Oh well not something I should worry over much, I thought.
AN: Okay so I am trying something new. Writing in first person. How is it coming out? I didn't want to make the first chapter very long in case ya'll didn't like the first person thing; anyway please review!!
