1: The Meeting
Shrieks of laughter can be heard from the mansion. Athrun zala opened the door to the patio, chuckling slightly. Kira, lacus, meyrin and him desperately attempts to get the children to bed. Meryin, Lunamaria and him had been staying with them since the end of the war and decided not to return to cagalli's side as her bodyguard to prepare for the chairman's election in PLANTs. He wanted to make a difference in PLANTs, so what better chance than now? But because of that, the gap between him and cagalli widen a lot. Sighing deeply, he turned to look at the ocean. "Cagalli used to love this…" he thought, when a reddish haired girl came bursting through the door, panting.
"Why are you not helping us? If there is five people surrounding them, maybe they will sleep without jumping." meryin said, trying to catch her breath. Athrun laughed.
"I have lots of work to do, meyrin. Preparing for the election isn't easy." He said.
"Well, you can at least be present, all the kids like you." Athrun sighed.
"Looks like there is no escaping from the little devils isn't it?"
Sighing deeply at her pile of work, cagalli wondered will she get out of this mess alive and kicking. A soft knock was heard after cagalli's mono reply "come in", a girl with long brown hair with curls at the end came in. "still working, nee-Chan?"
"Yes, if you are here to tell me that kisaka told you to tell me to work harder, I will kick you out of the house."Cagalli replied angrily.
"Erm….no. kisaka didn't send me here. I came here to tell you something." the girl replied.
"What?"
"Erm…get some sleep Nee-Chan. you need it."
"You came here just to tell me that? By the way, its midnight already. Why aren't you in bed? You have school tomorrow."
"Erm...I know. But you looked terrible, so I decided to accompany you for a while. "
"Hmm? Really? Just to accompany me? Reply truthfully. Did kisaka send you?"Cagalli said. The girl gulped.
"Maybe?" she said looking innocently.
"Get out." Cagalli said, glaring at her.
"I have just heard the news. Saw Athrun Zala running for PLANTs chairman." She said and closed the door.
Cagalli sighed again. Mitsuki Attha was her only cousin left. Mitsuki's father sends her to one of the PLANTs when she was eight. Now the war finally and really over, she took mitsuki under her care. It was both of their father's wish that mitsuki could come back to orb safely. But, what if all this was just an illusion?
Kira and meyrin looked at each other and smiled awkwardly at each other.
"Erm, for recess, do you want to eat with me, since we don't know anyone from this school..." meyrin said, trying to start a conversation with kira.
"Sure, why not?" kira said, shrugging his shoulders. Suddenly, a bike came speeding by pass meyrin, almost knocking her off the sidewalk. Kira caught meyrin just in time.
"OUCH! WATCH WHERE YOU GOING!"Meyrin shouted, and girl slowed down and turned around.
"I am so sorry! You guys are late for school. Do you realize that? The discipline mistress isn't a very nice woman, so I advise you guys better run!" with that, she speed off again.
"She is from our school right? Great...once I find her, I will definitely kill her!"Meyrin said angrily.
"Erm…meyrin? We are really late." Kira said, pointing to his watch. The duo looked at each other and sprinted to the direction of the school.
"Oh...man...I going to be so 'dead'!" mitsuki thought. Cagalli hadn't even bother to wake her up as she had just slept and the maids got the time wrong. She was riding her bicycle as fast as she can, and she caused a girl to fall down. "well...at least I did apologize and told them they are late." she thought when a bell was heard."Great! I am definitely late!" she moaned and continued to peddle as fast as she can.
"5...4...3...2..."chanted a girl with black straight hair. Then a bell rang throughout the school. "1!"She said happily. She looked up and found out that her friend have not arrived yet.
"Ah! Mitsuki!" she whispered softly. Then, the classroom door opened. She looked up expectantly only to find that her form teacher, Mrs Suzi, has arrived.
"Oh dear...she is..."she said softly when the door slammed open. "Late."
Mitsuki slammed the door open. Panting slightly, she made her way to her seat when Mrs Suzi stopped her.
"Where are you going, Miss Mitsuki?" she asked.
"Back to my seat?" Mitsuki replied, looking at Mrs Suzi innocently. But Mrs Suzi pointed out of the classroom door.
"Bu...t...I...do...nt...Mea...n...to..."Mitsuki stammered. But she still pointed out. Mitsuki sighed and went out.
"Ah! I am so SORRY!" Meyrin said, running in and slamming the door in process.
"Who are you?" Mrs Suzi asked, looking at her, suspiciously.
"I am Meyrin Hawke." she replied.
"Good, Miss Meyrin, you may join Miss Mitsuki outside." Mrs Suzi said and closed the door.
"But I..."meyrin said as she watched helplessly the door closed
"Don't need to explain to her. To that old hag, late is late, there is no explanation."
"But...I am the new..."meyrin said then she stopped." aren't you the one who almost knocked me down just now?"
"Oh...you are the girl? Sorry. I didn't really mean to, but I was going to be late…so…" mitsuki said apologetically, looking down.
"Don't worry. You didn't cause great damage…what's your name? Mine's Meryin Hawke." She said, stretching her hand out.
"Mitsuki Attha." Mitsuki replied cheerfully and shook her hand. Meyrin's eyes widen.
"HUH?"
"So, x is equal to 47."The maths teacher, Mr Lee said. Mitsuki yawned. Maths was not her favourite subject. Although she is a coordinator, she never passed maths in her entire life.
"But sir, your calculations are wrong." a voice behind mitsuki said. Mitsuki turned around. "You see if 7x is equal to 7y, once you bring over it becomes minus and 7-70 and 0 is equal to xy not 49 equal to x." Meyrin said. Mr Lee looked at his calculations again. Then, he replied sheepishly, "yeah...you are correct, Miss Meyrin." Meyrin smiled. Then the lunch bell rang. As the students begin to pack up and discuss what they having for recess, Mr Lee shouted questions from the textbook to do as homework. Mitsuki groaned. She didn't even understand what Mr Lee or Meyrin said today. How she is going to do the homework? "Wow! You were great, Miss Meyrin."The girl with black straight hair came to Meyrin said.
"Thanks…:" Meyrin said, blushing.
"Oh yes, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Fumi Fields, Mitsuki's friend." Fumi said, extending her hands.
"Meyrin Hawke."
"Right. Let's have lunch together! Mitsuki 's math is really terrible, you can help her!" Fumi said excitedly, dragging Meyrin as she goes. Mitsuki sighed.
"great."
"great, where is Meyrin?" Kira said, looking around the school compound. His day in the school was a disaster. Because of his feminine looks, he has attracted females around the school. Everywhere he goes; there will be pointing and more pointing from the females.
"kira!" a voice shouted. Kira turned around and to his relief, it was Meyrin.
"where have you been? I have been waiting for you for 15 minutes!"
"well…I had been busy…" Meyrin trailed off. Then, she took Kira's hand and led him to a deserted corridor.
"we have to hide in here for a while. Don't ask me why, just follow." She said. Kira nodded. Then, voices of two girls were heard.
'where is Meyrin? She is supposed to be back from the toilet by now…"
'maybe because you scared her. I bet she ran away."
"well, she should have told us! I mean, do we look like we are going to eat her?"
"yes. Not me but you."
"ha-ha, very funny. Let's find her."
"no way, you go and find her. I go find someone else."
"what! No way, you are following me. By the way, I don't think that Moon will let you see Derrick."
"I am not looking for Derrick, it is Mr Von. Happy?"
"fine."
"fine." With that, the deserted corridor is quiet again.
"let's see. There is still 30 more minutes until the end of recess, care to tell me something?" Kira said, while looking at Meyrin. Meyrin smiled sheepishly.
"well…it is something like that…"
"let's see…" Kira said while dialling the number he knew by heart.
"Kira, I don't think it is necessary to call her now." Athrun said.
"who says, I am her brother, for god's sake! Now don't disturb me." With that, kira pushed Athrun aside. Athrun shook his head.
"she will definitely…"
"hello, Attha Residence."
"mana, is that you?" kira said.
"yes, master kira, looking for Miss cagalli? She is still in a meeting… poor girl..." mana said, shaking her head at the same time.
"no…I am not looking for Cagalli. I am looking for Mitsuki, is she there?"
"Erm…yes. Wait for a while."
"hello, who is this?" Mitsuki said, puzzled.
"it is me, Kira Yamato. Your cousin."
A/N:
well…I edited the whole story so the story will have an ending
unlike the previous one; it was sort of…too little details and
awkward scenes around. Hope you all will like the edited version.
