Title: The Search for Shin Asuka

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Seed. It pains me to admit that, but I must move on (sniff).

Author's notes: Hey people. I'm new. This is my first fanfic, obviously. Please read and review. Pweeeeeaaaaase! Well, I won't pester you any longer. Read on and decide what my fate will be… not! Haha(sorry for the lame note).

It was a peaceful Saturday afternoon in Athrun Zala's new rest house. It was summer, so Athrun Zala himself was leaning on the railing of his cool-looking balcony. He never thought he could get rich by himself, seeing as he was able to build a house worth 50,000. He was given his salary, which had added bonuses, for helping during the war. His thoughts wandered from himself to Kira, his best friend, who hasn't shown his ass since he regained consciousness. Athrun's eyes wandered to a picture on the side table. He smiled. It was a picture of him and Cagalli.But his smile stopped short because someone was screaming.

"Athrun! Athrun!" Cagalli was runnig towards where Atrun was, her face full of shock.

"Cagalli, what's wrong?" he asked gently. Cagalli seemed to be be very troubled about something. If only he knew what.

"He's been kidnapped!" she almost shrieked.

"Who? Kira?"

"No one cares about that bastard! It's Shin!"

"Shin Asuka! But he dosen't even exist till Seed Destiny! And this story happens way before that," Athrun said.

Cagalli Yula Atha glared at him, and he knew he was in big trouble.

"Will you help me save him?" she was suddenly innocent-looking.

"No!" her boyfriend said automatically. "Besides, I hate guys with sore eyes and messy black hair," he added as an afterthought.

"I'll kiss you," she said. She moved closer. Athrun closed his eyes and…

BASH! "OWW!"

… got a bloody nose from Cagalli.

"Are you gonna dump me for Shin? I can't believe this," he exclaimed.

"No! He stars in my favorite soap opera, and the show can't go on without him, that's all. I'll go find him myself!" she stormed furiously out of the balcony, nose in the air.

"Stupid Shin! I hope Cagalli will stop searching for him and will come back tome instead!" he smirked at that scenario.

"Stupid doorbell!" he fumed.

The door swung open and Kira Yamato went in, looking at the living room as if it were his.

"What do you want, To-mah-to?" Athrun said disdainfully.

"What's up, Salsa?" Kira said with an equally disdainful look. "So Cagalli punched you in the nose, huh? Did you try to rape her-again?" he sneered.

Athrun wondered how Kira could be smart but had an I. Q. of twelve. It was a complete mystery.

"Shin's been kidnapped!" he mimicked Caglli's voice and expression.

"But that Asukar guy doesn't even exist till Destiny," Kira gave Athrun a questioning look.

"Beats me," he shrugged. "But who cares! He's taking Cagalli away from me!" And I'll beat the shit outta that guy if he even touches her, he thought.

"Well, we'll have to save him, then," Kira smiled. He knew Athrun would seeth with anger at his comment, but then again, almost everything made him seeth with anger anymore.

Athrun's eyes went wide. "WHY THE SHIT DO YOU WANT TO SAVE HIM!"

Well, he works at a coffee shop, and he has the best coffee," he said casually. Actually, he only saw Shin once in Bo's Coffee Shop, and he never even tasted his coffee. He knew what "Asuran," as Japanese people call him, would react.

"Oh really! Then get the hell outta here!"

Kira raised an eyebrow, snorted, "Whatever," and went out the door.

A/n: Well that's it. Hope you like it. I will be updating soon.Bye!
