Undying Semesters

Hey everyone. This is my first fan fiction to write, so I hope to do a fine job and impress with this first impression. So then, here we go…

Another note: I own Gundam SEED, and I have the first 2 volumes of Gundam SEED Destiny (I WILL NOT REPEAT MYSELF)

Prologue:

It's Cosmic Era 71; the Bloody Valentine war never took place. In the nation of Orb, peace lingers in full, as there's no war. However, within these boundaries of this neutral nation, it's not completely at peace, for people always seem to have their personal problems to deal with; problems that deal with love, with hate, with fame and fortune, it's endless, the list of possibilities. Out of these problems stir conflict in words and skirmishes, and they mostly occur in school years, not just within the buildings either…

Ch 1: A New Year

"Come on Kira, you're getting us late!"

A girl on the lower floor of the house seemed to be in a cranky state as she bore a face of vicious, yet humorous anger. She was wearing a green t-shirt along with blue jeans and tennis shoes. She finally stopped yelling when a boy from the stairs was dashing down in a rush. He wore a black shirt and also wore jeans and tennis shoes.

"Can't you have any patience at all Cagalli," he asked.

"Well it's the first day of a new school year, and we don't even have time for breakfast thanks to you!"

"You could've eaten while I got ready you know! And I figured…you were going to wear something more formal."

Cagalli started to twiddle her fingers behind her back. "And why's that? Huh!"

Kira just grinned and ran out the door with Cagalli in tow. He knew that she wanted to make a good first impression for the teachers and students (and possibly get a boyfriend), but he also knew she hated dress with her very soul. They had been running for at least 2 minutes before they reached their destination: Orion High School. Regardless, Cagalli kept her hunt on Kira going. She was relentless, and would never stop until she catches her prey. They had rushed into the school halls and people around started to stare.

"Give it up already!" Kira yelled, still knowing she wouldn't. And he was right.

Cagalli was still chasing him down with no success. Finally, a teacher accidentally got in the way and she ran into him.

"Ow, watch where you're going miss!" he yelled.

"Sorry sir, you…", but Cagalli never got to finish. She was staring at the man as if she was staring into God himself. He was wearing a red shirt with black buttons and greenish grayish pants that carried along 2 black shoes attached to his feet. His hair was blue and his eyes flashed emerald green. "…look nice," she blurted.

The man stared for a moment. Cagalli then caught herself and cover her mouth. Did I just say that out loud? She thought to herself; Oh crap, what now!

The man they turned on her with a smoother face. "Well regardless, you shouldn't be running in the halls like that," he answered; "May I asked your name?"

Cagalli stood up and faced him. "I'm Cagalli Yula Athha," she responded.

"I see; my name is Athrun Zala," the man said.

Cagalli took note of his formal wear. "Are you a teacher or student?" she asked him.

Athrun chuckled before giving his reply. "I may not seem tall enough, but yes I am a teacher, and I teach algebra. In fact, I'm the only algebra teacher here."

"Then I have you!" Cagalli stated.

"Is that so? Which period?"

"Let's see…" Cagalli started rummaging her bag for her schedule and found it in her binder. "Period 8," she announced.

"That's the last period of the day, Athrun noted, so it will be awhile before I see you again. I look forward."

With that, he took off to his classroom, leaving Cagalli to stare after him. Other's started laughing at her earlier statement, which got her to face them with a terror-striking face.

"Laugh it up if you'd like this down your throats," she threatened, holding up her fist. They stopped laughing and walked off. Cagalli stood and watched them leave. She finally got over it and walked to class.

Kira stopped running when he realized he lost her. He then decided to head off to his first class when someone grabbed him from behind. Fearing it to be Cagalli, Kira darted his head around and turned back, but realized it wasn't Cagalli's demonic stare. He turned again to see a girl with red hair and blue eyes.

"Hey there cutie," she said.

Kira pulled away from her grip and looked over her. She was wearing a crimson dress and slippers with the same color. The skirt almost made it to her knees, and she had a bit of her hair tied back in a small ponytail. Kira blushed at the sight.

"Well…hi there," he answered, hoping for a chance to get away. Something about the girl gave him an uncomforting feeling in his chest. At the same time, he didn't feel like moving at all.

"So, what's your name?" she said, a little seductively.

Kira was now turning as crimson red as her dress. "I-I-I'm k-Kira Yamato, nice to meet you." He said it a little too fast for his comfort.

This only got the girl to grin widely. "I'm Flay Allster," she replied, "And could I ask you something?" she added.

Kira was really having problems with answering. His face was burning, his palms were covered in sweat, and his throat was seemingly caught in a knot. "Um…sure," he managed.

Flay was taking her time with answering to examine Kira's reactions. She smiled broadly, for they seemed to please her well. Looks like I've already got someone, she thought; guess I can get him now, hehe.

"Why don't we ditch today and have a date?" she finally asked.

Kira suddenly regain some sense, but it still wasn't enough. "…I'd rather stay, it's the first day after all," he replied.

Flay was about to speak again before someone else intervened. "That was a good choice young man."

They both turned to see another girl about their age walking toward them. She wore a robin egg blue dress, nothing fancy about it, and similar colored slippers. Her hair was pink and her eyes held a shine of sapphire. She also had a golden clip attached to her hair which appeared to resemble 2 waves, one overlapping the other. She stood by the 2 of them with a smile implanted on her face.

"It wouldn't be a good idea to miss so much that could happen today, and you'd get off to a later start too," she continued.

Apparently, Kira just couldn't go without blushing. She looked like another angel, yet also, she seemed to give off an aura that made him feel warm and relaxed. It was unlike Flay's, which only gave the impression of bittersweet pleasure.

Flay was giving the girl a death glare, but then sped off. I'll try again later, she decided; after all, I'd rather not do this in front of a teacher. Kira stared at her leave; then he turned to the young lady.

"Thanks there, you really helped me out," he said.

The girl gave a small blush, but kept her smile. "It was no problem; Flay isn't one of the best students here anyway, and she's likely to do that."

"Thanks anyway; so who are you?"

"I'm Lacus Clyne, one of the English teachers here," she replied, "And you are?"

"Kira, Kira Yamato," he introduced.

"I see, well, I guess I'll see you later Mr. Yamato."

"You can just call me Kira. Talking to me formally makes me feel like I've got a burden."

Lacus giggled and then walking back to her classroom, and Kira made his way to class. This is going to be one heck of a year, he thought.

Well, there you have it: the first chapter. I'll see if I can try to do the second just as quickly. So you have the basic lowdown, Kira is a student, Cagalli is a student, Athrun is a teacher, Lacus is a teacher, and Flay is evil (yeah yeah; Flay fans go and hate me). I'll be adding characters as we go along and possibly more hook-ups. Well, see you later.
