Flawless
A drabble written for a challenge at seedfictest at livejournal (and I actually won for once ). The drabble theme was "Kira" which was fun since I haven't written much about him. Hope you'll enjoy this!
"Ultimate coordinator, my ass."
Pulling off the protective googles, Kira turned to Cagalli with a puzzled look. They were standing in the training area located on the base on Onogoro Island. Kira had hardly put on all the gear and picked up the gun before Cagalli had spoken.
"Huh?"
"Ultimate coordinator, my ass," Cagalli repeated, leaning casually against the wall and crossing her arms. "I bet you can't even hit it between the eyes."
Kira glanced at the human shaped cardboard hanging on the other side of the room. It was not that far away and his aim was pretty good… he was rather good at piloting mobile suits after all. So what was Cagalli talking about?
"It shouldn't be that difficult," Kira murmured, putting the goggles back on and raising the gun.
"If that's what you think…"
Frowning, Kira adjusted the gun slightly and then aimed.
A second passed.
Then two and three.
In fact, five good minutes passed in silence without a single gun shot being fired.
Biting his lip, Kira lowered the gun and studied it closely.
What in the world was wrong with it? Was it broken?
Finally, Cagalli sighed and left her position by the doorway. She walked over to Kira and in a matter of a few moments, took the gun from him. Kira only stared at her in complete shock as she fired three shots, the bullet holes in the cardboard forming a perfect triangle.
He was somewhat aware of his jaw dropping when Cagalli handed the gun back to him, grinning arrogantly.
"Next time you want to fire a gun... remember to pull the safety off first."
