Prolog

"Cagalli!"

Said blonde grimaced and looked at the ground sadly, holding her upper left arm with her right.

"Cagalli, Please!"

She closed her eyes.

"I didn't do it! Cagalli! Tell them I didn't do it! Tell them what you saw! CAGALLI!"

The door to the cop car closed, the boy inside still trying to contact her as they drove away. And she cried.

-

Ding Dong!

"Coming!" A bluenette opened the front door to see a silently crying Cagalli there. "Cagalli?"

"Athrun!" she held him tight. "Kira...he..." Athrun's eyes widened.

"What's happened to Kira?" he asked. Cagalli shook her head just as Lacus's surprised yell came from inside the house. Lacus basically lived at Athrun's house...geeze, did she even have a house?

Athrun hurried to the living room, Cagalli still holding him tightly, and Lacus turned to them.

"Kira's on the tv! He's been arrested!" she said in horror. Athrun's eyes widened again and he looked to Cagalli.

"Why?" he asked softly.

"Th-they're accusing him...Of murder..." she managed. "Why...why...why...?" she slid to the floor.

"Murder?" Lacus whispered unbelievingly.

"You mean that murder Kira told the police about? They're blaming him for it? Why?" Athrun asked angrily. Cagalli shook her head as she wiped her eyes somewhat futilely.

"He was the only other one...in the area...when it happened...He told the police the guy was dead...so they think it was him, feeling guilty..."Cagalli managed to explain.

"But...you were with him too, weren't you?" Lacus asked. The blonde nodded.

"Yes. But I...I couldn't say anything...My voice forgot to work...I didn't want to go to jail!" she burst out crying again. "I didn't see what Kira saw that night...What was I supposed to do?"

Athrun bent down next to her and she cried into his chest, Lacus looking at the two sadly.

"Now...why'd you kill him?" a man asked.

In a dark room, he paced around a table that had one light above it and a brunette teen sitting at it.

"I told you. I didn't kill him!" Kira repeated.

"Don't...lie to me!" the man said angrily. He sighed. "We've been at this for an hour. Can't you give in? Is getting away with the murder really that important to you?"

"But I'm telling the truth! I didn't kill him!" Kira nearly stood up, but the guy made sure he stayed down.

"Ok, easier questions." he sat down across from Kira and picked up one of two files that were on the table. "Who was murdered?"

"Sai Argyle." Kira said sadly, with a hint of something else. "We were friends in middle school. He went to a different high school than me, so we hadn't spoken in a few years..."

"So, what'd he do to make you mad enough to k-"

"I told you! I didn't kill Sai! He was my best friend in middle school! Why would I kill him?" Kira had stood up from his chair angrily.

"I don't know kid. But we're gonna find out sooner or later." the man sighed, motioning for others to come in as the light turned on. "We'll talk again soon."

Kira's arms were grabbed and handcuffed behind him again. He was then led out of the room and to a cold cell with bad plumbing and dirty walls. The brunette kept his head down, trying not to cry because he was being accused of a murder he didn't commit.

The door to his cell shut behind him, the handcuffs gone, and the voice of the guy that had brought him here drifted over to him.

"You'll brake and spill. They all do...here." he said with slight sadness in his voice, then turned to leave.

Kira slid down next to his bed and began crying silently. Silent crying was something he'd perfected years ago.

Sorry it's so short. What do you think?
