XxX - The Transpiring Heart - XxX
Chapter 1
Getting Started
"Hey Kira! Its 9:05 your 5 minutes late." Mwu said bluntly .
"Sorry Mwu I had a bit of trouble getting to sleep last night and I tried calling you to let you know about my lateness, but your phone was off" Mwu looked at his phone only to find that his battery had died.
"Alright take your certificate, don't worry I'm sure you won't screw up" Mwu teased.
"Gee thanks you make it seem like I'm already screwed" Kira looked at Mwu
"…..well anyways stop by Athrun's office he told me he wanted to see you after I'm done with you" Mwu said. "Alright I'll hurry, later Mwu" Kira left.

Kira reached the front desk to Athrun's building at about 12:15. "Hello Sarah how's it going" Kira said with a warm smile.
"I'm…fine, here to see Athrun again Kira?" Sarah said trying to hide her blush's away from Kira
"Yea I also came here to see you too Kira smiled" Kira said in a playful voice. Sarah got really red for second till she realized Kira was only joking around like he usually does. She smiled.
"All right just sign here and head right up to the 25th floor" Sarah smiled giving Kira the clipboard. Kira quickly signed the sheet and headed up.

--------------------------
Lacus was walking with Miriallia, Dearkka, and Kuzzy. They were all heading out for lunch. They were all chatting as they were walking towards the front desk Kira saw Lacus from afar, the moment he saw her time seemed like it had stopped, Kira's heart was pounding hysterically.
Alright just be cool and smile and walk pass them like you do to all the girls Kira thought to himself.
Lacus, Miri, Dearkka, and Kuzzy all noticed Kira approaching them, Kira walked by. Lacus couldn't stop starring at him, her body became all tense.
Who is this I've never seen him before? Lacus thought to herself.
Lacus watched as he made his way to the elevator. "Was that love at first sight lacus?" Miri whispered to Lacus
"…What? I hate it when you jump to conclusions. I've just never seen him before" Lacus defended herself
"Sure" Miri teased. "I Think that was Kira Yamato" Kuzzy stated. Dearkka bursted out laughing. "That was Kira Yamato! No way, there's no way he'd be in a place like this" Dearkka cried. They all continued to chat as they made their way outside.
-----------------
---------
Kira finally reached Athrun's office room. Without even paying attention to Athrun's appearance Kira quickly began talking freely "Athrun on my way to the elevator I saw the most beautiful…….what's wrong?" Kira said.
"Nothing, it's just I asked Mwu if you could stop by here after he was done with you" Athrun signed "what took you so long?"
"Oh I had to drive down to head office and hand in my certificate of acceptance." Kira said
"Was it that important?" Kira asked.
"Na I'm just screwing with you, I asked you here because I wanted a favor from you…" Athrun said placing his palms on the desk.
"A …favor? Wow this is out of the ordinary, since when do you ask for favors?" Kira replied
"Ha-ha…..well…first of all I'm just taking a wild guess, is the girl you were talking about have long pink hair with a gold clip?" Athrun grinned.
"…How did you know?" Kira asked curiously
"She's been here for a while, from the very beginning when I first saw her I thought she was the type of girl you would go for" Athrun said
"Well you were right she was so pretty, and her eyes were so beautiful…and-"
"Kira" Athrun interrupted
"you're off all duties of work till you become the president of EMC corp. next month right?" Athrun said
"Athrun what are you thinking?" Kira asked getting confused
"The favor…well you see …the office manger is going on vacation for a month. Naturally the assistant manager is going to take command, I'm a little hesitant to make that step" Athrun said.
"Why" Kira asked
"There have been reports that when the boss isn't here she makes everyone's life miserable, I just need someone to take command, stand up to her, and straighten things out" Athrun said.
"Reports, what kind of reports?" Kira asked
"She certainly has high qualifications, but she use's her sex appeal to get what she wants, everyone in the department despises her, and I can't get rid of her because the manager keeps saying she's a valuable employee and an assents to this company. When I try to get info from the other employees to try to sack her, they whimper out and say there's no problems, their afraid of what might happened" Athrun said.
"So what do you want me to do" Kira pleaded
"The manger, Takumi Hara is going on vacation for a month, and that's…..where you come in" Athrun grinned.
"WHAT!" Kira screamed
"I want you to find something on her so I have enough to sack her with. I'll recommend you as a normal employee to work as a marketing associate"
"Athrun this is nuts I'm going to enjoy the time I have off, once I become the president of EMC corp. my social life is going to suck large" Kira said.
As Kira started to walk away, Athrun stood up "Kira remember that girl you saw with pink hair, you'd be placed beside her" he smiled.
Kira stopped moving and turned around and faced Athrun. "I think this is the perfect opportunity to find your self a partner" Athrun said
Kira smiled "what's that plan?"
"This is the plan, I'll try to keep it simple, you are going to go under cover and hide your identity, the moment they find out that your Kira Yamato there's going to be problems."
Athrun rambled on "Fllay is going to be your boss so make sure you watch your attitude, try to fit in with the other employees, and remember I'm you're boss too, make sure you use Mr. when your saying my name, understand Kira?"
Kira was a little shocked hearing what he had to do "….Alright I can handle that just make sure I sit beside her" Kira grinned.
"Alright you go do whatever you want now and I'm going to have a talk with Fllay about a new employee starting tomorrow" Athrun said.
Kira was about to walk out of Athrun's office before Athrun stopped to inform him about a serious matter "Kira I almost forgot, what do you want your fake last name to be" Athrun asked.
Kira thought long and hard "…..how about…." Kira was thinking of Hibiki but started to get a pain reaction in his head, flashes of his past kept popping rapidly in his mind. Kira placed a hand on his hand.
"Athrun I'm not feeling too well, just pick one and tell me on the phone" Kira said while walking out. While Kira was walking out of the building he held his head down "calm down, calm down!" he said out loud, he went out the back door and hopped into his car a drove off.

Takumi had just said his good byes to everyone and had already parted. As he left the room Fllay began to brag, she's been given authority to take command of Takumi's position
"Now from this moment on till Takumi returns, all task's and duty's will be handed out by me, if anyone has any problems about any issues come straight to me" now get to work" Fllay said with a nasty attitude. She was already starting to like this new power. She couldn't help but smile to herself.
-------------------------------
"Lacus" Miri said with a stern look. "We're going to get chewed up alive by her"
Lacus smiled "I know"
Dearkka had a stern look on his face "….she's hot…."
"Huh…you can't get a girl even if you tried Dearkka" Miri said putting her head down trying to hide her blush. She lived the way he looked but she could never bring herself to tell him about her feelings.
"Yeah, you just say that cause you got the hots for me" Dearkka teased. Miri shook her head at his ridiculous comment
Athrun walked into the room and went straight to Fllay's office. Everyone watched as Athrun made his way to Fllay's office.
"Athrun came down personally, whoa this has to be important" Dearkka said.
"Maybe Fllay is going to get fired" Kuzzy said with glittering eyes. Lacus was just kind of ignoring the situation she was too into her work.
------------
------------------------------------------
Great I now have talk pleasantly to this bitch Athrun thought as he opened the door to Fllay's office.
"Working hard Fllay" Athrun asked. Athrun simply gave a sigh. Fllay was caught relaxing on her chair with her eyes shut closed.
When Fllay opened her eyes to see a pissed off Athrun she quickly got up to apologize but before she could say anything Athrun began to speak
"Listen I hired a new employee with extremely advanced qualifications, I've been looking for someone like this for a long time, he starts tomorrow, and I want you to make space so he's seated beside Lacus Clyne, …since she's one of our best, I want her to be the one that guides him into the right direction. Any questions?" Athrun asked.
Fllay looked kind of startled but she quickly responded with a smile "Yes, may I have a copy of his file" Fllay asked politely
"I've already uploaded it to employee search engine, just search for the name Kira Hibiki. Is there anything else?" Athrun asked.
"That would be all, thanks Mr. Athrun" Fllay smiled
As soon as Athrun left her office she quickly went straight for the computer. She loaded the employee search engine, and typed in Kira Hibiki, her eyes widened as his file loaded. It was very impressive, Kira was extremely skilled, she clicked on the picture to enlarge it. "..This guy looks hot" Fllay said out loud as she blushed
I should probably make space it's close to the end of the day Fllay thought to herself.
Fllay walked in to the employee area "Sai, and Dearkka come with me" She yelled
Sai and Dearkka quickly got up and followed her.
Fllay guided them to the back room where there seemed to be a couple of empty desks. "Grab this desk and bring it into the work area. We're getting a new employee that Athrun recommended tomorrow, I need to make space" Fllay said.
Dearkka and Sai looked at Fllay "Someone Athrun recommended?" Sai said
"Yeah, now hurry it up it's almost the end of the day!" Fllay said bitterly.
"Yes!" Dearkka and Sai said as they grabbed the desk and moved it to the employee area.
"Place this desk right beside Lacus' " Fllay ordered as they picked up the desk and carried it all the way to Lacus' work station. They placed it right beside Lacus on the left side.
Lacus was little confuse to see why a new desk was being placed beside hers. Lacus was on Fllay's bad side just like everyone else. Lacus knew Fllay she had a very short temper, so she decided not to ask anything.
Fllay went up to Lacus to let her know about the situation "Lacus we're getting a new employee tomorrow, he's a real genius. Athrun had recommended that you sit next to him so you can guide him in the right direction" Fllay said calmly but loud enough so everyone in the room could hear.
Lacus just smiled and nodded "alright" Lacus couldn't help but feel a bit excited about the situation. She was always the type that loved to make friends and help people out. Fllay had ordered Sai to get a new computer from the warehouse and set it up for the new space that was just made.
Flash Back
Right after Kira had gotten into his car and started driving off he decided to use the name he had in his head earlier, he quickly called Athrun "Athrun I got a name"
"I thought I was going to make one up for you" Athrun said childishly. Kira ignored Athrun's feelings and got straight to the point. "My name is going to be Kira Hibiki"
"Hibiki, why did you pick that- ?" Athrun asked but was interrupted as Kira finished his sentence "It was my biological father's name" Kira said trying to keep a calm voice.
Athrun didn't ask questions "Alright… I'm almost done completing your file, so you're name is Kira Hibiki, are you sure?" Athrun asked. "Yeah, I'm sure" Kira said. "Alright I'll send you're profile to your email. After I send it make sure you read it make sure you memorize all of it, ok?" Athrun said.
"Alright" Kira said
"Be here at 7:45am tomorrow mourning ok"
"7:45" alright, should I come straight to your office?"
"Yeah I'll take you down personally and show you to your work area"
"Alright Athrun I'm about to enter the highway I'll see you tonight at the house alright"
"Ok Kira later" Athrun said
End Flash back

Kira…lets see if you're as hot as you were in that picture…if you are I'll make you mine Fllay giggled at the possibilities
Fllay was getting excited just thinking of all the stuff she could do to get his attention; she was always the type of person who could get anything she wanted.

-----------------------
Athrun had gotten to Home at 6:30pm. Cagalli was asleep in front of the TV. He quietly went up to her and stroked her hair as he placed a kiss on her lips.
Cagalli's eyes started to flutter open …she blushed as she felt his warm lips pressed against hers, he slowly parted his lips from hers. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you" Athrun said quietly stroking her hair.
"It's ok I was waiting for you anyways" Cagalli spoke softly.
--------------------------------------
As the nanny prepared dinner Athrun went to Kira's room to make sure he read the profile he sent him. As Athrun walked towards Kira's room, Kira had stopped him from behind. "Athrun!" Kira said angrily. Athrun didn't catch on.
"Hey I was just looking for you, did you get a chance to read your profile yet?" Athrun said.
"I did…but…why did you put so much in it, there going to expect a lot from me" Kira said a little irritated.
"But I only used 1/4th of what was on you're actual profile…but anyways I recommended you, I don't normally do that so I had to make it look like we're getting some one who's going to be essential to the company" Athrun said grinning.
"But I'm just there to try to ruin that girl Fllay…plus try to get it on with that pink haired girl" Kira blushed thinking of the possibilities.
Kira think about it, if you get attention cause of your qualifications she might ask you for help, not to mention a chance to get closer to her" Athrun grinned.
"…I've never thought about it that way" Kira said dimwittedly. Kira went off in his own little fantasy world thinking about how great this might actually make him look.
"Well anyways Kira come on dinners ready, Cagalli is waiting" Athrun said.
----------------------------------------------
As they ate Athrun had told Cagalli about the situation and what Kira will be doing for him. Cagalli was happy to find out that Kira was trying to also do this to get close to a girl. Kira had always seemed lonely to her.
"Kira just remember one thing, a girls heart is more fragile then you think, if you manage to get close to her and you become serious with her you might shatter her heart once she finds out you lied about you're identity" Cagalli stated.
"Don't worry if I end up falling for her, I'll be careful" Kira gave a reassuring smile. Cagalli just smiled. Athrun then began to tell Cagalli a lot about the situation with Fllay and explained to Cagalli why he really wanted to get rid of Fllay by using Kira.
