Author's note: Hey! This is a new AsuCaga multi-chaptered story!
I know I haven't updated my other mutli-chapter stories in like 10 years but I really wanted to write this! It's like that when you have ideas for some things but not for others... sigh...
I wonder how will this story go as my others aren't really well-received (in my standards). I'll keep my fingers crossed...
Anyway enjoy this first chapter and please review! I really need to know how the readers feel!
Oh yes, and this story is AU by the way.
Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Seed/Destiny or any of its characters.
Accidental Prince
Chapter 1: Accidents?
"All set?" a voice said.
A man nodded. "Of course."
"Hahahaha!" Maniacal laughter erupted. "Zala! This will be your last day alive!"
"Athrun darling!" Meer called out in her sickly, sweet voice. "You must come back soon! You know I can't take it without a moment by your side!" she said as she clung on tightly onto Athrun's arm.
"This deal is worth millions of dollars. I'll be back." Athrun replied, his voice cold and devoid of emotion.
Meer squealed when she heard how important the deal is. "Oh sweetie! Please do your best! Remember I'll always be waiting for you!"
Athrun just gave Meer a little smile and immediately turned towards Kira.
"Kira, when I'm away, the company will be in your charge." Athrun instructed a man with amethyst eyes and brown hair.
"You can count on me Athrun." Kira smiled at him.
"Good luck!" Lacus gave her wishes.
With a nod, the blue-haired man proceeded to a black Lamborghini and got into the driver's seat. With a roar of the engine, it was off.
"Bye sweetie!" Meer waved enthusiastically. When the car was out of sight, she stopped and turned towards the door of the house.
"Now, to try on those new dresses I bought this morning." Meer said to herself and walked into the house.
Kira stared after Meer then to Lacus. "I'm glad you're my fiancée Lacus."
"Meer is not that bad." Lacus replied.
"Do you really mean what you say?" Kira looked questioningly at Lacus. "She is your cousin. She looks like you and everything. But you two are as different as the two ends of earth!"
"Meer is actually really nice!" Lacus protested.
"She wears all those revealing clothes all time and all she does is to shop and act bitchy around Athrun." Kira continued. "She is also pretty selfish and unkind. I pity Athrun for having such a fiancée!"
"It may be because her parents died when she was young." Lacus tried to reason. "She must have felt lonely and neglected and that's why she became like that!"
"But do you really think Athrun loves her?" Kira asked.
"I…" Lacus was at a loss of words.
"I only know Athrun too well. He's my best friend since young." Kira sighed. "He loves no one. Athrun Zala, the general manager of the Zala Corporation has never really loved anyone."
"I know. Athrun has been that cold since Aunt passed away." Lacus agreed sadly.
"Well I hope…" Kira began.
"Oooohhhh!!! I'm beautiful!" A really loud female voice came from inside the house.
"Athrun will find someone he really loves…" Kira sighed.
Athrun was driving along the roads. No car was in sight which wasn't too strange as he was travelling to a quiet beachside town. As he drove along, he noticed a car behind him. Athrun would have shrugged it off, but it seemed that the car was travelling at a very high speed.
"He wants to challenge my Lamborghini?" Athrun thought. "I'll show you!" he stepped on the accelerator.
Two cars, a Lamborghini and a car which Athrun could not determine its make was racing on the roads. Being too preoccupied with his contender, he failed to notice there was a car right in front of him. The other driver swerved to the side in time but Athrun had absolutely no time to react.
A loud crash was heard as a Lamborghini slammed into another car. Athrun was knocked unconscious.
The other driver got out of the car and from the side of the road, another two people came out.
"Athrun Zala, we've got you now!" One of the men who were in hiding earlier smirked.
"Take him out!" the other man commanded. The men and the driver did as they were instructed.
"Throw him down there and burn the two vehicles! We don't want to leave any evidence behind." He commanded.
The two men lugged Athrun's body to the other side of the road where there was a small cliff and threw him down.
"And never return!" The driver said.
"Set the fire." The man, who seemed to be the leader of the group, gave out in his instructions which were immediately heeded. Soon, another explosion resonated around the entire area.
"Argh…" A man with blue hair and emerald eyes sat up, clutching his head. Dried blood travelled from his head all the way down to his chin. He stood up unsteadily, still groggy. He walked a few steps, still clutching his head. He tried to look around him but everything was a blur. He just walked and walked and didn't know where he was walking.
"Why do I have to do this!" Amber orbs flashed angrily behind the wheel. "Otou-san shirked from the responsibility, Shinn Asuka shirked from the responsibility and even Davide shirked from the responsibility! Just because it's too freaking far!" she complained.
The hot-tempered girl cursed everyone with everything under the sun as she drove along the road. Her lack of concentration on the road made her fail to notice that someone had wandered to the middle of the road. When she finally snapped back to reality, she gasped and quickly stepped on the brakes.
The car came to a screeching halt. The girl, with her eyes shut tightly, slowly mustered her strength to look.
"There…there's no one!" she gave a shout. She quickly got out of the car and her face went deathly pale. In front of her car, a blue-haired man lay on the road with blood on his head.
"Oh no…What have you done! Cagalli Yula Attha!"
Author's notes: This is just the first chapter. The real thing will kick in later.
This fic is inspired by a Taiwanese drama which I do not know what the English name is and I can't just translate it literally as it sounds strange.
Please read and review!
