Chapter 1 –
C.E.55, February 5th
Two cries broke through the silence of the hospital room. A woman with dark brown hair leaned back against the backboard of her bed as she sang softly to the two bundles in her arms.
This woman was Via Hibiki, formerly known as Via Clyne. The two bundles in her arms were her beautiful daughters, Kira and Lacus Hibiki-Clyne. Both girls had light pink hair and pale cerulean eyes. Their skin was pale. The only way one would be able to tell them apart was if you looked at the tips of Kira's hair which was black.
While she hadn't initially agreed to her husband using Kira for his project, she realised now that Kira would grow up to do amazing things with Lacus along with her. She still disagreed with her husband's ideology though. Her Kira probably went through so much before even being fully developed.
Despite all of this she was happy that she now had her two twins back together with her as they should've been from the start.
The door opening drew her from her thoughts. When she looked up her cerulean eyes met the amber orbs of Ulen Hibiki, her husband.
He grinned sheepishly at being caught. Despite his outward exterior of being an overly serious man who would do anything to accomplish his goals, he was really just a man that wanted to be loved and to have a family which he now did.
"I'm not interrupting am I?" he asked quietly as he gazed softly at the now sleeping twins. Via shook her head with a smile. "Nah. They just dozed off. Hurry and get the discharge papers already! I wanna take them home already! They're just so cute!" she said with sparkling eyes.
Ulen sweatdropped. "I've already signed your discharge papers. We can take them home now but you need to get dressed first." He said as his eyes ran over her badly covered frame.
Via blushed as red as a tomato. After carefully placing the twins in the small crib next to the bed she rushed into the bathroom at what Ulen could've mistaken as the speed of light.
She emerged from the bathroom a few minutes later sporting a simple pair of black trousers and a white button-up shirt.
A faint blush could still be seen on her cheeks but she seemed to have calmed down. He picked up Kira while his wife picked up Lacus. Both children cooed quietly before settling back down.
Five years later –
C.E.60, August 22nd
The faint sound of humming could be heard from the large library in the Hibiki residence. Sitting on one of the large dark purple chairs was a small girl with long, light pink hair with black tips tied up into a high ponytail. The girl's pale cerulean eyes scanned the pages of the book in her hands at fast speeds before she turned the page.
From her position she could hear light footsteps approaching from the hall. A minute later the doors burst open and in came another girl who was the same height as the one reading the book and her appearance was the same apart from her not having black tipped hair. This girl had her hair down as well. Both had a golden clip in their hair that pinned their bangs to the side.
(Lacus' clip from the anime. I don't know how to describe it)
The two had grown well in the past five years. They, after their parents had a few discussions, had been home-schooled and had progressed in their lessons at an exponential rate. Ulen had them begin combat lessons a little while after they turned three so they would be prepared for anything.
The adults had done well for themselves as well. Ulen had made a few medical breakthroughs although he had yet to share any of this information. Via had continued her mobile suit development and, like Ulen, had yet to share any of her tech with anyone.
Both children had picked up quite a bit from watching and talking with their parents about their research which made their parents very happy.
"Kira! Uncle Si is here to visit!" Lacus exclaimed happily. A deep chuckle was heard behind them and with her curiosity peaked, Kira peaked over her twin's shoulder to see her uncle.
Both of their eyes lit up with joy. Kira's book had been abandoned in seconds as she launched herself forward and embraced the man. Lacus was quick to follow.
"Uncle Si! We missed you!" They said in unison.
Siegel chuckled at their sudden enthusiastic hugs. He hugged them back with just as much enthusiasm and span them around before setting them back onto their own feet. Small giggles left the pair's mouths as they were spun around.
Lacus was the first to speak after their little reunion. "So what brings you here Si-chan? Are you here on business with mother or father?" She asked but the way she said it gave away her more than obvious excitement at seeing the man.
Siegel chuckled again. "You're correct as usual. I'm here to discuss something with your mother. Mr Zala is supposed to be coming around to visit tomorrow as well with his son. His name is Athrun. You'll be introduced to him when they arrive so make sure to dress nicely. Anyway, I have to get back to your mother. I'll see you again at dinner." He answered before waving at the pouting twins and leaving the room.
As soon as he was gone the pinkette's turned their cerulean gazes to each other and grinned. "Zala is a very prestigious name to carry" Lacus began as her grin broadened. Kira's grin soon matched her sister's.
"Now I just have to wonder if he acts like the heir of the Zala family. I bet he's no good at hand-to-hand combat." She said as she picked up her previously forgotten book.
Lacus raised an eyebrow at the random comment.
"Yes but not everyone is as quick at picking up combat skills like you." She pointed out.
Kira just shrugged. "Not my fault. It just comes to me as natural as breathing..." She stopped for a moment.
"Ne... Lacus, what is your dream?" she asked suddenly which caught her twin off guard.
"Huh? Hmm... Let's see..." she turned fully around and looked her sister dead in the eyes.
A soft smile graced her features. "I wish that everyone, coordinators and naturals alike, could live in peace. I believe that while fighting is sometimes necessary, mercilessly killing someone just because they disagree with your ideals is wrong. That's why i believe that peace will only be achieved if both sides can come to a compromise but... All people seem to see is the need to kill their so called enemies."
Kira stared at Lacus with undisguised awe. Her expression softened. "I'm sure your dream will become a reality... No. I'll make it a reality. I'll fight for your dream!" She suddenly decided. Kira knew that Lacus hated conflict so she decided that she'd fight the battles in her place. The slightly younger twin seemed better as a strategist or commander anyway.
Lacus frowned as she thought of her sister fighting for her life but then smiled at the thought of her twin just trying to protect her like a good big sister.
Any other thought were cut off by a loud scream tearing through the household. Kira bolted up in an instant and moved in front of her now frozen sister.
Siegel suddenly burst into the room with a hurried look on his face. "We have to leave. Now!" he exclaimed before grabbing both of their wrists and dragging them out of the room.
Kira was about to voice her protests when a whiff of smoke and burnt... Something reached her nose. She just managed to bite back gag.
Her insatiable curiosity would be the death of her someday and she knew that. Without another second of thought, with surprising strength, Kira yanked her wrist out of her uncle's firm grip and ran back in the other direction where the almost unbearable smell was originating from.
If only she had followed her uncle instead...
The burnt bodies of their maid and butler were on the floor outside of the room that smoke was billowing out of.
The smoke around her made it so that she didn't see them though. She ran straight past them and into the room where she could hear the familiar voices of the two of the three people who truly made her feel safe.
"Mama!, Papa!" She exclaimed as she ran into the room. Two shouts of worry met her. Via span around as quick as lightning. Her eyes were wide with fear.
Kira's eyes zeroed onto the roaring flames that were engulfing the room. A small shriek escaped her mouth as she took a step back only for heat to shoot over her back. Looking back, cerulean eyes met more burning hot flames.
Via quickly pulled her forward into her arms, away from the fire.
The woman desperately looked for a place to escape but came up blank.
"M-Mama! What's going on?! Where's Pa-" She stopped herself as her eyes met something laying on the ground not a few feet away from them.
There, on the hard wood floor, was the body of her father, Ulen Hibiki. There was a large hole in his back where his heart was supposed to be and blood was pooled around his body.
A strangled cry caught in her throat. Tears immediately fell. She couldn't, for a reason unknown to her, take her eyes of the body.
She felt a pair of warm hands place themselves on her cheeks before she was forced to look into the loving eyes of her mother. Via could hear a set of footsteps approaching them from behind and knew the worst was coming.
"Kira... You know Mama and Papa loves you and Lacus so very much... I wish... We could've been with you longer but it seems... That cannot be the case." The brunette was on the verge of tears as she grabbed two memory drives from her pocket and pressed them into her oldest's hands.
"T-This is you father's and I's research data... Keep it safe and use it for a good cause..." the footsteps had stopped behind them and it was now that Kira could see a towering figure above her mother's crouching form.
She felt her mother place a soft kiss on her forehead.
Kira looked into her mother's eyes with her own scared and confused ones. "M-Mama... W-Wha-"
"...Goodbye..." Via said as she forced a smile on her teary face.
Bang!
Before she could even blink, her mother's head quite literally exploded in a shower of blood.
No words could be formed as pure fear and shock flooded her system. Her body began to shake as incoherent noises left her mouth.
The person behind her now dead mother was revealed to be a tall man. Her vision was blurry and distorted as she took a step back. Another... And then another until her back hit the wall.
The flames around them began to diminish but neither of the two cared though.
Despite her confused and muddled head her ears picked up something that the man muttered.
"For the preservation of our blue and pure world..."
Her fear finally reached its peak as she bent over and screamed as loudly as she could.
Bang!
Yet another shot of a gun was heard but she felt no pain as she had expected.
A man with black hair with small grey parts had shot the man who was about to shoot one of the Clyne heiresses.
The overwhelming emotions and stress finally got to her. Her body swayed for a moment before falling limp.
The man ran forward quickly and caught her before she hit the ground.
Time skip – 1 week –
C.E.60, August 29th
One week. That's how long it'd been since the murder of Ulen and Via Hibiki. Kira had been hospitalised since the incident but had yet to wake up despite having no notable injuries.
After talking with Patrick Zala they had realised that it was most likely due to the trauma caused by seeing her parents die in the way they did.
Patrick had decided to visit the Clyne's earlier than planned because Athrun wouldn't stop bugging him. He didn't expect to arrive to a burning house and two dead professors with a man from Blue Cosmos trying to kill on of their daughters.
He had rushed out of house with the small pinkette in his arms. The looks on Lacus and Athrun's faces would forever haunt him. He should've remembered that they were outside the house.
Currently Lacus was sitting on a cushioned chair next to the bed her twin was laying in, laying her head on the soft duvet while grasping Kira's hand.
Said girl's hair was fanned around her head while her skin seemed even paler than usual.
A twitch in the unconscious girl's hand had her jumping to her feet in a second. "Kira!" She exclaimed which startled the doctor who had been passing the room.
Lacus reached over the bed and pressed a button to call for a doctor. A minute later their family doctor walked in.
Before he could speak, a groan left the older twin's lips which had the doctor rushing over to the bed.
Her eyes slowly fluttered open but her vision was a bit blurred. After her vision cleared, the first thing she saw was a pair of teary cerulean eyes.
She pushed herself up into a sitting position. She didn't manage to even get out a peep before Lacus lunged forward embraced her waist in a tight hug.
"L-Lacus...? Kit, what's wrong?" she asked as her twin cling to her like a lifeline.
The doctor was the one to answer her. "You've been unconscious for just over a week Kira-sama. Do you remember what happened?" he asked with a serious expression.
The small girl's brows furrowed in concentration. She shook her head negatively after a minute. "No. How did I get here?"
The doctor had to bite back what he was about to say. If she doesn't remember then it would be best not to bring up the memory. Best to let it come back on its own instead of forcing it out.
He smiled albeit a tad awkwardly. "You passed out from minor insomnia and dehydration. Nothing to worry about. Just make sure you keep yourself healthy so you don't have this happening too much." He chuckled while gesturing to her twin who was slowly calming down.
She didn't seem to believe him at first which made him stand slightly straighter out of nervousness. It was unwarranted though because a second after she shrugged and gave an uncaring 'Yes sir' with a mock salute.
He quickly left the room to get away from the girl's suspicious gaze. He ran right into the twin's uncle which was a convenience.
The man looked overly worried and he couldn't blame him.
"How is she?!" Siegel asked as he hurried over to the doctor.
"...She seems to have blocked out the memory of the incident sir. I don't know if the memory will ever resurface so you may want to tread lightly." He warned. The older man nodded.
He had already arranged for the twins to live with him now so they would be safe from Blue Cosmos. God he hated them.
He entered the room only to meet the determined look of Kira. "Uncl- No. Supreme Councilman Clyne. I wish to train to join ZAFT."
