Hello everyone, this is a story that has been on my mind for a while I wrote several chapters I decided to post it to see the feedback I get on it. I know I should update my Kira/Cagalli fic x.x I wrote 2 chapters but I'm a bit unstaisfied so until I feel I can do it better I'll post them. This is actually my first AsuCaga Fic, not mentiond the lemons I wrote XD or the short my ending version of Gundam Seed Destiny. Took me sometime to come up with a title. Chose this rating for language and uh some scenes.
Disclaimer: I don't own GS/D.
WARNING: I'm writing the story...
One of Those Promises
Chapter 1
As the sun began to rise, a diligent mother rose from her bed stretching slowly as a restful yawn escaped her lips. The sun ray wiggled through the opening of the curtains she smiled as she heard footsteps approach her room.
She went to her window and opened the curtains simultaneously the door to her room opened as the gentle sunlight invaded.
"Ah mama you're up!" her daughter said. A girl of sixteen with large honey eyes and a bold blonde hair that was always unruly. She had just come to wake her mother up.
"Good morning Cagalli" The mother smiled and closed the gap between her and her daughter to embrace her in a loving hug.
Cagalli kissed her mother's forehead "Since you're up I'm gonna go check on Kira".
"Okay I'll be down soon to make breakfast" Via told Cagalli.
Cagalli went to her brother's room and in the same manner as earlier burst in without knocking only this time her voice wasn't in the same tone she spoke with her mother "Kira!! Wake up!" she nudged her brother.
The brown haired twin stirred in his sleep "5 more minutes" he groaned and covered his face with the blanket when she opened the curtains.
"5 more minutes my ass! You better wake up now if you don't want to take your shower in bed" She threatened him. Kira was always so lazy especially when it comes to waking him from sleep.
"Damn it Cagalli I really don't get why we have to be up so early" he complained when he got up from his bed, knowing that his sister's threats were never empty.
She grinned victoriously and pinched his cheeks hard on her way out. Cagalli prepared herself for school and went down stairs to help her mother with breakfast.
Her mother was not in her best shape since her father left her two months ago, she seemed more fragile so Cagalli hated the time she had to leave her alone. Her mother was one of those women who dropped out of school to raise her children once their father got a job he married her and stayed at home to look after her twins.
Now all alone with her babies without a paycheck, struggling to find a job during these hard times. Cagalli and Kira took it upon themselves to take care of her. Cagalli's passion was journalism, she was part of her school's Weekly Magazine team. Grateful that she got to receive a pay for her extra work.
Orb was a very successful magazine in which it has a section that their own student reporters get to write whatever they wanted whether it was about the school or any other interest. In fact since Cagalli joined the staff along with a couple more students the magazine's profits increased, due to her refreshing ideas and what she hated to admit exclusive sexy students photos.
Her brother on the other hand was not as fortunate to land a job but he was one of the smartest students the school ever had. He was scouted last year by an elite University once he graduated he was going to attend it with the scholarship he was offered.
The twins finished their breakfast and headed out to school, they were always early and that is something Cagalli enjoyed more than her brother. She liked to come to an empty school, the place looks so peaceful and quiet as if it was her kingdom.
The second she set foot on the school grounds she dashed to the Magazine's Office located in the backyard of the school. Their "office" wasn't really spacious but it had most of the things needed. Wednesdays were the best where the news was always fresh and she'd see the reaction from the students and teachers and normally she got praised for a job well done.
She was about to call the printing company to ask about the delivery of the newly printed magazine, since it was almost 7:00 am and nothing was there yet when she heard a knock on the door.
It must be them! She was excited and flung the door open, her mood dropped as her eyes landed on the person "Ah Lacus it's just you".
"Ara Cagalli you sure know how to make someone feel special" The pink haired girl poked her friend playfully "I brought you something" she grinned.
"He's new so he didn't know the way around but your precious magazines are here" The second she finished her sentence she was engulfed in a suffocating hug from her friend.
Cagalli thanked both the delivery guy and her friend, Lacus helped her with the distribution of the magazine as always.
"I love you Lacus you're the best!" Her lively eyes beaming as she opened one of the boxes, she made a funny face when she pulled one of the magazines "But I hate him" she gagged.
Lacus giggled at her friend as she took another copy herself "Well at least he is not ugly" avoiding complimenting the person in the picture.
"Cold hearted jerk I'm glad we're not in the same class… but at least he makes this magazine sell like crazy" she stated greedily as she hugged her copy "So thank you Mr. Asuran Zala" snickering evilly.
"What's with the laugh?" Her friend questioned.
"He's not so cooperative so I snuck into the boys locker room on Monday I took a picture of him." When she saw her friend's eyes grow large with surprise, the blonde quickly waved a hand blushing "No no he is not naked! He was wrapped in a towel. Can you imagine the amount of copies we're gonna sell!" Oh how excited she was. She'd probably get a bonus! Hmm naked Asuran would be a good idea too. Still blushing.
She couldn't understand herself why she would always become as red as tomatoes when it comes to boys, it was probably due to the fact she had more girl friends than guys.
Lacus smiled at her friend admiring her spirit "Let's go place these and then head to class" she said to her friend who seemed still immersed in her money thoughts.
"Good morning Cagalli, Lacus" Their friend Lunamaria greeted them when they walked into the class "Hey Looney" Cagalli said as she took her seat next to the red head. Lacus smiled at Lunamaria and made her way to her desk at the front of the class.
"Yep definitely!" Luna confirmed to Cagalli.
"Dude I'm telling you no way, Lacus is a really nice girl" Cagalli assured.
Lunamaria shrugged "I guess she's shy…" and continued "So anything worth reading in that magazine of yours" she asked.
"Well absolutely worth seeing" said the blonde with a devilish grin. "Asuran in a towel!" she informed Luna and shoved a copy in front of her face.
Lunamaria tugged at the magazine in Cagalli's hand but the blonde didn't let go "Pay up! You know it's not free" and gently slapped her friend's hand.
"Argh! You know I always do but fine here!" she gave her a money "Oh god he's so hot-" Luna drooled on the photo.
A sudden shriek interrupted the their conversation "CAGALLI!".
Oh boy here we go her eyes on the doorway knowing that any second now, the person that the hideous shriek belonged to would come running through it any second now.
And as expected Meer Campbell a self proclaimed Lacus-Follower and Asuran's number one fangirl entered "I will buy all of them! No one should see my Asuran his body is only for my eyes" She cried.
Cagalli shrugged get real "Sorry I can't go ask people to give it back" she pulled her math notebook from her bag and started doing yesterday's homework since she still had about half an hour until class began.
When Meer noticed Lacus looking she bowed her head "Good morning Lacus-sama" she greeted her idol courteously.
"Good morning Meer!" Lacus replied. Lunamaria twitched yep definitely hates me.
Meer snapped her head to the blonde whispering now "Please Cagalli please please please".
"You know that won't help you Campbell" Cagalli told her as she started writing in her notebook.
"Only one thing will help you deal with this situation" Luna added.
"Accepting the fact" Cagalli continued.
"Asuran does not belong to you" Luna finished he's mine.
Meer gasped loudly as if they have said the unthinkable, tears welled up in her eyes sniffing "You guys are so mean!" sobbing she darted out from the room.
Both girls burst out laughing the blonde banging her hand on the desk while clutching her stomach.
"It's funny every time" Lunamaria said wiping tears from the corner of her eyes.
"Cagalli you shouldn't make fun of people's feelings" Lacus pouted as she turned in her chair to face the blonde.
"I know I know but honestly she brings it on herself every time" Cagalli said trying to muffle her laughter.
Lacus wasn't really upset and when she saw her friend laughing she smiled and giggled too. She admired Cagalli a lot even though she was going through a rough time she smiled and laughed so carefree.
The classes went by as usual the occasional fan girls shriek could be heard let's not forget the fan boys from time to time and the blonde would grin assuming they were looking at that picture.
As the day ended in school, Cagalli was putting her stuff back in place in Orb's Office (the magazine) making sure everything was right. She sighed as she stretched tiredly all done satisfied with herself she locked the door.
On her way to the school's gate, he caught her off guard the first thing she saw was his shadow because her head was slumped forward yawning. She stopped and lifted her eyes only to see Asuran Zala in front of her with a cold stare.
She tilted her head questioningly, he never actually spoke with her before even though she had tried persuading him into giving her an interview but he would never talk to her maybe I crossed the line this time.
The scene for other people would look as if two lovers were meeting each other during a beautiful sunset, a cool breeze of autumn swept through only serving more mess to Cagalli's messy hair while Asuran's look still looked as neat as ever.
"Athha you crossed the line this time" His voice was so gentle but the cold demeanor that he was facing her made Cagalli shiver.
She shrugged "Nothing personal Zala, just business".
He took a step forward still staring coldly, Cagalli shifted under his gaze it was making her very uncomfortable "I'm warning you Athha" it was but a whisper but she heard it as he brushed by her.
Her face heated up and became as red as the dusk sun oh god and it doesn't help that he's handsome she slapped her forehead. This was her chance! She hurried after him "Zala!" she yelled.
He waited for her to continue "I'll make a deal with you. I promise to leave you alone if you'd agree to an interview" that would be so awesome, all the money she drooled mentally.
Without saying a word he turned his back to her after he gave her a look that made her feel as if she was nothing. Fuming she threw the folded copy of the magazine that she had in her hand at his back.
"You know it's disrespectful to ignore someone!" She yelled at his back.
A look of surprised crossed his face when he felt the hit, he picked up the magazine and before he could say or do anything she was out of his sight.
Asuran sighed was she seriously talking about disrespect… did she forget that she published those pictures of me without my consent he placed the magazine in his bag and made his way to his car today will be another troublesome day at home. His father will definitely not like this issue of Orb.
Asuran Zala was the son of a typical rich house hold who was expected to succeed his father's business. The blue haired boy could care less about his father but his mother was his everything and he would do anything to make her happy.
Blessed with his handsome looks in which he thought it was a curse, girls and women would swoon over him. He would always reject them young and old no one was worth it no one had ever caught his eyes and his father had been bugging him lately about finding himself a suitable girl for god's sake I just turned 16…
Cagalli arrived home breathless she didn't stop running until she got in "Mama I'm home" she announced.
"In the kitchen dear" she heard her mother and entered into the kitched.
"I'm sorry mama I forgot your copy of Orb but I'll bring you one tomorrow" Cagalli apologized to her mother as she hugged her she sniffed "I smell cookies" grinning childishly.
