HELLO! Guys! this is my first fanfic for GEB. Hope you'll like it. Sorry in advance in there are grammatical errors. Please correct me if you see any mistakes. Thank you. Please enjoy reading this!

Protagonist's POV

The moment we stepped inside the Den, I rushed to the couch and laid down leaving my God Arc on the floor. Soma eyed me for my action. Kota on the other hand was doing the same on the other couch; Alisa scolded us for leaving our God Arcs like it was just a toy.

I waved my hand tiredly.

"Don't be like that Alisa. We'll clean it up after we regained our energy." I said.

"No." She said sternly, hands on her hips. "Hanging-out with Kota seems like a bad influence. You're getting his bad habits."

"I don't have one!" Kota opposed, getting up.

"Yes, you have!"

"No, I don't!"

I sat up and watched the two of them, amused.

"Quit it already you two. It's annoying." Soma complained standing behind Alisa.

But the two teens didn't heard him. This only made him frown.

"Hey! You two listen to father when he's talking." I butted and grinned when Soma glared at me.

Both of them actually stopped and turned to Soma.

"Soma, you agree with me that Kota have bad habits, right?" Alisa asked giving him a raised brow.

"I don't have one! Right, Soma?" Kota gave him a determined look.

"Don't get me involved with your lover's quarrel." Soma replied earning daggers from Alisa.

"Isn't that right?" I asked teasingly.

As we continued our "family argument" the elevator opened and stepping out of it was Lindow and Sakuya. I stared at their hands, both locked to each other, and slowly looked up to them.

"You seem to be lively after getting back from a mission." Lindow greeted us with his trademark grin.

"Well, we were discussing about Kota's habits influencing Leader." Alisa turned to them.

Sakuya and Lindow looked at me and Kota then to the God Arcs on the floor.

"I see…" Sakuya said and hesitantly looked at Lindow.

Lindow sighed and scratched his head.

"Now, now, Kids. Don't make your mother angry. We don't want her pretty face get all wrinkled, right?" He teased, receiving a glare from the Russian girl.

Kota and I giggled from Lindow's statement. Sakuya then gave him a good smack on the head.

"Anyway, we have something to tell you guys." Sakuya said as her face looks somewhat happy.

Lindow puts his arms around her shoulder and pulled her closer.

"We decided to get married." Lindow announced earning the attention of other squads who was nearby.

"Whoa? For real?!" Tatsumi asked rushing to Lindow's side.

"Congratulations!" Alisa said grabbing Sakuya's hands.

"Thank You." Replied Sakuya with her face flushed.

They were all swarming over the couples. Both Lindow and Sakuya looked happy. I stared at Lindow. He was blushing while saying thank you and all. As for me, I should be happy for them. But, that wasn't the case. I don't know how my face looks like right now. It feels like my body became numb. My vision could only see Lindow. The Den became quiet to me. Then, his eyes meet mine. He smiled at me and said something I couldn't understand. I couldn't hear it. And I don't want to know.

"LEADER!"

I felt my eardrums were about to explode from that shout. I turned to my right and saw Alisa, hands crossed in front of her D-cup.

"What?" I asked in my deadpan voice.

"Were you not listening?" her voice irritated.

"Obviously." Still in my deadpan voice.

"Well anyway, I said that we should go shop some clothes for their wedding." She said.

I stood up and walk towards the couple. I held both of their hands and congratulate them.

"I' m happy for you." I said to Sakuya with my gentlest smile.

"Thank you, Yuzu." She replied with a smile.

Soma's POV

I watched her as she talks to Sakuya with a grin on her face. A minute ago she was in shock and now smiling like an idiot. I don't really get her. But she is our LEADER. Good at hiding things from us and the best pretender in this place.

"Hey, Soma. When will you get a girl? If you don't make a move, Kota might catch up with me and leave you behind." Lindow said.

"You promised to help me get a girl, Lindow." Kota reminded him.

"Oh yeah. Soma, want to join us tonight? I'll set you up a date." The idiot grinned at me.

"Don't group me with you." I said, and then pointed my index finger to his right.

He looked at his side only to see Sakuya raising her brows.

"May I remind you that you're already engage?" she said. "Geez, you womanizer."

Then again, I shifted my gaze to a certain sandy haired woman standing behind them. There it is again. The same expression she used a while ago after Lindow announced his engagement. She was staring at them, a blank expression. It reflected in her crimson eyes. The shine in her eyes that always fascinate me were nowhere to be found.

It seems that the others didn't notice the change on her expression. They were busy spouting nonsense. I followed her with my gaze when she started walking towards the elevator. That's when Alisa realizes the absence of the girl.

"Leader, where are you going?"

"Uhh- I'm a bit tired so I'll go ahead." She answered wearing the masked smile.

"Oh, okay." Alisa said.

She went inside the elevator and didn't look back as it closed.

"Oh my, Soma, were you disappointed that Leader isn't here anymore?" Lindow teased me, again.

Guess he saw me looking at her. I glared at him then to everyone else who was about to tease me as well.

"Don't think of stupid things, idiot." I said then walked away as well.

"Pfft- Soma you're such a tsundere." I heard him said while laughing his ass off.

Don't get me wrong people whose reading this fan fiction. I wasn't in love with our moron leader. I only happen to see through her façade. That's all there is. Nothing more.

As I walk through the hallway, I remembered the time when we successfully got Lindow back. After she recklessly jumped towards the Black Hannibal shouting about "don't run away from living," a beamed of light covers the surrounding and next thing we saw was that both her and Lindow were lying on the ground. We rushed to their side and noticed she was holding Lindow's hand. I was about to help carry Lindow when her hand didn't let go. I tried breaking them off but her grip was too strong for an unconscious girl. It took a while when she finally let go.

Even before that happened, there was already a hint. When she was still a rookie back then, she always followed Lindow like she was his tail. She always looked at him with those gleaming eyes. Only Lindow. But that guy never noticed it nor did anyone. That girl… definitely… towards Lindow…

Normal POV

Kota' eyes looks tensed as he took a glanced from his Leader then to his comrades. Alisa was giving him an "I-don't-know-look," while Soma doesn't seem to care. The atmosphere inside the chopper was heavy. Earlier that day when they were given out a mission they already noticed that their leader was kind of down. She was quiet the whole time and that was weird. Usually their typical leader is a blabber-mouth and acts like boy instead of a girl. She was his partner in crime after all. It was the first time for them to see her like that ever since she became a God Eater.

"Okay! It looks like someone's down today." Kota started grinning. "Don't you agree leader?"

Yuzu looked at him with bored eyes. That wasn't the kind of reaction they expected at all. Kota could feel the tension getting high.

"So… uhh… W-why don't we tell jokes to get this boredom out of this room?" He stuttered.

"Y-Yeah. Why don't you tell us your new jokes, Leader?" Alisa said.

"Do you really want to?" finally she asked.

"Of course! Leader's joke is the best after all." Added by Kota.

"That's right!" agreed Alisa.

"Then… Knock, knock…" Yuzu started.

"Who's there?" Kota said.

There was a pause. The three waited for her to answer.

"Go f*** yourselves up." She said with a straight face.

Kota, Alisa and Soma freezes from her answer. They didn't expect her to say something like that. It only worsens the situation. Kota gulp from what happened hoping for the leader they knew would come back soon. Alisa changed her sitting position to face the opposite side, away from Yuzu and Soma just covered his face with his hood. The chopper was filled with heavy silence.

They finally arrived at their destination, The City of Mercy. They got off and prepared their equipment once again. When all was ready, their leader jumped off first. The three of them looked at each other. "SHE IS INDEED WEIRD TODAY," that's what they wanted to say but chose to keep their mouth shut.

They easily defeated the Gboro-Gboro once they found it. They searched for other enemies as well until it was time to go back. Their mission was a success like usual.

As they travel back to Fenrir, Yuzu took Soma's usual spot inside the chopper, whereas on the door of the chopper. She watched the sun sets in the horizon as the warm breeze caresses her skin.

"Oshiete hoshikatta yo… ano yakusoku no yaburikata wo… hoka no dareka no ai shikata wo" she sang, more likely mumbled.

(I wanted you to teach me … how to break that promise … and how to love somebody else…)

She closed her eyes and hugs her God Arc.

Alisa and Kota looked at each other, worried for the sake of their leader. She's been quiet the whole day already. They know that Soma knew something but refuses to speak. It's not his thing to butt into someone else's problem, let alone, their affairs.

Another mission has been set for the first unit. The location is the Tranquil Temple and the enemy is a polar Kongou. Yuzu, along with Soma and Alisa, arrived at the tranquil temple earlier than the said time. They were lacking one member that's when another chopper arrived.

"Great." Yuzu mumbled upon seeing Lindow got out of the chopper.

"Did I make you wait?" he asked with a grin.

"Not really." Alisa answered.

Lindow took notice of the pouting leader and walk towards her. She flinched when he pats her head.

"Are you feeling well? Kota and Alisa said your acting weird lately. Tell me if you have a problem, okay?" he gave her a big smile.

Yuzu averted her eyes away and nod as a response.

"So, shall we get started, Leader?" he asked.

And so they began their mission.

Yuzu's POV

What am I doing with my life?! I should not bring love in the battlefield. I've been rude to Alisa and Kota lately and maybe that's why Kota didn't come today. I'm really stupid. This is so not me. I should act like my normal self today.

So that was my conclusion.

I should act normally and ignore this throbbing in my heart.

Shit. I'm really out of character! Did I really say that?!

I shook my head to erase the disgusting girly words I said a moment ago. I took a quick glance from my side where Lindow is, then face the front again.

I bet he'll laugh at me if he knew about this. I again shook my head, face all flushed. Forget about that, I should be worried more about the polar Gorilla. That Gorilla really gets on my nerve. Maybe I'll let him taste my bitterness for now?

Soma's POV

I was following behind Lindow when I noticed she turned our way. She was looking ahead of me. I didn't mind it so I just focused on what's ahead when from my peripheral vision, I saw her shake her head off. *sweatdrop*

I was distracted from her action. She shook it like hell and to tell the truth, I was the one who felt dizzy just seeing her like that. Her face was red like tomato. I smirk from the sight. She never failed to amuse me.

Out of nowhere we heard a loud growl and the earth beneath us began to shake. It seems the Kongou found us first. We prepared ourselves for the sound got nearer and nearer.

"Okay guys, let's finished this as soon as we can. I really hate Gorillas." I heard her said smirking at us.

"Fine." I answered back smiling.

"Oh, looks like the leaders back." Alisa commented.

Just then the polar Kongou with its electrifying attack jumped at us from above. We dodge it as fast as we can and deployed our shields before it could hit us with its fists.

"Tch. Gorillas should just stay in the zoo and eat their bananas!" Commented by our great leader, as she jumps above the Kongous head.

Another lame statement, only to prove she regain her idiotic self. Heh.

So uhh- yeah, this is for the first chapter. Will have chapter 2 soon if you guys like it :)
Somehow i feel that Soma is a little OOC in here? (-_-)

By the way I do not own the song Yuzu sang. hehehe

Well, anyways, do please review! Thank you.
