Chapter 1: The Meeting

He lay on his soft towel, closing his eyes to the brightness of the sun and resting his head on his hands. The war was taking a toll on him as his free days grew short. 'Why do people always fight? Why can't they accept peace?' He always wondered. He never wanted to fight, not even in the 1st war when he was taken hostage and betrayed by his best friend, Athrun. No, he only fought to protect, to protect his friends and the other innocent lives that shouldn't have to fight and leave their family behind.

But now there's a 2nd war, and once again he must fight to protect the ones he loves.

He sighed but was interrupted as someone fell on him. He opened his eyes and sat up to see a young boy lying across his torso. "Uh, sorry 'bout that, I didn't see you there." The boy apologized as he got up with a Frisbee in his hands. "No problem, I'm alright." Kira replied. "Well, um, bye, I guess." The other coordinator stammered as he ran back to his friends who were waiting to continue their game.

Kira watched as the boy took off to his friends. 'I fight to protect people like him as well' he thought and smiled to himself. Little did he know that the boy who landed on him was Shinn Asuka, pilot of the Impulse Gundam, who would soon become his lover, and his enemy.

He continued to watch as Shinn, Luna, Meyrin, and Rey played Frisbee and splashed around in the cool ocean. 'They act like they have no worries, I wish I could act and feel like that.' He sighed again and decided to head home.

However, on his way he stopped at Subways to get the Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki he's been craving, and just happened to see the same boy who landed on him earlier. "Hi, I guess we meet again." Kira said to the boy. "Oh, hi, look, I'm really sorry about what happened." Shinn said. "It's ok, it didn't hurt much, besides, I've been hurt worse." Kira assured him with a smile.

"Oh, well, my name's Shinn, Shinn Asuka." He said as he stuck out his hand. "Kira Yamato." Kira replied and shook Shinn's hand. "So, are you a coordinator?" Shinn asked. "Yeah, are you?" Kira asked also. "Yeah, I'm with Zaft." Shinn said casually. Kira froze, 'Zaft? But he's so young!' "Is something wrong?" Shinn asked. "Oh, um, it's just, you seem so, young." Kira said cautiously. "Oh, well, I am 16; I just wanted to help Zaft make peace ya know? I couldn't just sit there and watch as innocent people die." Shinn lied.

The real reason he joined Zaft was because he had no where else to go. He had no family left, and an offer from a friend made him decide to join the military. But he still felt lonely and abandoned inside, and he wanted desperately to destroy the Freedom along with its pilot. How ironic that he was actually talking to the pilot himself and had no idea!

That's how Destiny works. It makes the most unlikely people cross paths ironically, and intertwines their souls to make them test the world around them and to judge what they truly believe as right and wrong. It's what Destiny was doing to Shinn and Kira right now.

"Oh, yeah, I know exactly what you mean." Kira said. "So, what do you do for a living?" Shinn asked taking a bite into his sandwich. "Um, I'm, uh, a reporter." Kira lied. He knew he couldn't trust the younger Zaft soldier with who he really was. 'Besides, it's only a little lie, it's not like we'll ever meet again, right?' Wrong. Oh so very wrong.

"Hm, a reporter, for which company?" Shinn asked. "Um, The Daily News." Kira lied again and took a bite out of the goodness of the Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki Sub. "Cool" Shinn replied. Kira inwardly thanked God that his lie worked. "Well, see ya around!" Shinn said as he threw away his trash and left. "Yeah, bye." Kira waved. 'You have no idea' he thought.
