Katori the demon slayer: "I don't own gundam seed, only athrun's sister. Thanks and enjoy. The next chapter will be shorter, I promise. Thanks and bare with me. Ja."
16 year old Athrun Zala walked through the hallway of the ship. Athrun had lots to think about anf he wanted to be alone. He wanted to remember his past, what was it that he wanted to forget. He turely forgot ad now he wanted to remember. Athrun walked into his room and layed down. He slowly fell asleep and what he wanted to remember came to his mind.
"Athrun, Hey Athrun." 5 year old Athrun Zala turned to see the owner of the voice. It belonged to his younger sister, Kiryu. 4 year old Kiryu caught up with her older brother. She looked up. Her green eyes met his and she smiled. They looked almost like twins, except she was a little shorter due to her being one year younger. Born Febuary 16 CE 56, she was more like a few months younger, for he was born October 29 CE 55.
"What's up, Kiryu?" Athrun asked and she held up clamped hands. She slowly opened them and a butterfly rested in ehr hands. The majestic butterfly sat still, flapping it's yellow wings. At the first sight of sun, it slowly floated away. Botht eh kids watched it fly away.
"That. I wanted to show you the butterfly, Athrun." Kiryu smiled and Athrun couldn't help but smile.
"It was nice. Did mother allow you to come out?" Athrun asked and Kiryu nodded. The scence switched to them a few years later. Kiryu was still 13 and Athrun was 15. The date was January 1 CE 70. The first day of the month. It was late at night and Kira was spending the night. How Athrun convinced the Yamato family to let him stay over was a mystery, but he didn't care. The house was nice and it fit the family. Kiryu was in the bathroom, taking a shower and the two boys were off in the back. In the back, there was a hot tub and both boys enjoyed the warmth. Kiryu turned off the water and stepped out. She slowly dryed herself off and looked towards where she put her night clothes, but they were not there.
"Aw man, how could I let Athrun and Kira take my clothes." Kiryu said as she pulled on her bathrobe. She dried her hair with a towel and looked in the mirror. Her blue hair was curly and went to her shoulders. Part of her chest showed, but she figured she wouldn't even see the boys on the way to her room. She slowly walked out and shut the light off behind her. She sighed as a small electronic cat appeared by her side.
"Meow." It replied when Kiryu bent down to pet it.
"Hi, Kila." Kiryu said and the cat purred. She stood back up and walked to her room. She passed the door that lead to the back deck where the hot tub was and stood at the site of Kira laughing as Athrun struggled to break free so he could get some air. Kira turned his head to see Kiryu starring at him and let Athrun go. Athrun popped up and breathed a deep breath. Kiryu blushed and took off.
"Hey, what's up Kira?" Athrun asked as he looked towards the door.
"Oh, nothing Athrun. Hey, you wanna go watch a movie or play a game?" Kira suggested and Athrun smiled. They both got out and stopped at the door.
"I have to go to the bathroom, I'll meet you out in the living room. Okay?" Athrun asked and Kira nodded.
"Sure." Both took off. Athrun hit the bathroom before Kira could barely take that many steps and he decided to see Kiryu. Kiryu sat in a chair, in her room, and was brushing her hair. Kira walked in and laughed. Kiryu puffed her cheeks out and turned to look at Kira.
"What's so funny, Kira?" Kiryu asked.
"Nothing, but you. The way you act, you'd think you were a natural." Kira laughed and Kiryu slammed her brush down at the same time her chair slid back.
"KIRA YAMATO! HOW DARE YOU! I AM NO NATURAL! I AUGHT TO-" Kiryu's rage was cut short by Kira.
"Or you'll what? I know I shouldn't be tampering with you, cuz I know there's more to you then a pretty face. You'd destroy all of the naturalists if you had a gundam suit and were allowed to." Kira said and it made Kiryu calm down just a little. Kira walked in and Kila jumped up onto Kiryu's shoulder.
"Kira Yamato, you always have a knack at getting yourself in trouble, but always find a way out. One day, Kira, it won't happen and you'll get into a lot of trouble." Kiryu said with a smile and Kira put his hands behind his head.
"Nah, I don't plan to ever get caught and I won't get caught, unless a cute lil blue birdy sings on me." Kira said and Kiryu knew what he was talking about so she winked.
"I won't tell on you if you won't tell on me, so my lips are sealed." Kiryu said and Kira smiled.
"Better get going, meeting Athrun in the living room. Cya later." Kira said and ran out the door. Kiryu shook her head as she walked over to the door and shut it. Athrun, who had been by the corner and saw the hole thing, snuck away and got to the living room before Kira. He sat on the couch, waiting and Kra arrived.
"Ready to play?" Athrun said and Kira nodded.
"Oh, ya. You bet." Kira said and the scence switched to a new day. It was Febuary 7 CE 70, the day of Kiryu's birthday party. Many people were there including the Joule family, the Yamato family, the Elsman family, the Amalfi family, the Clyne family, and many more. Many presents were given to her, but only one stayed away, the one from Kira himself. One no one was around, Kira walked over with the box and handed it to her.
"Kira?" Kiryu asked as she looked at Kira.
"Here, happy birthday, Kiryu. Even though there's 9 days till you truly turn 14." Kira said and Kiryu took the box. Yzak Joule, Nicol Amalfi, Lacus Clyne, Dearka Elsman, and Athrun crowded around as Kiryu put the box on a nearby table. She slowly opened it to see what was inside. Two pairs of shoes, one blue and one pink, two white cappris, one with blue on the bottom and the other with pink, two white shirts with no sleeves, one with pink on the coller and sleeves and the other was blue on the colloer and sleeves, two laces, one blue and one pink, eight hair scrunches, four blue and four pink, and two ties, one blue and one pink. When she reached the bottom she stopped, but then pulled out the dress and starred in amazement. It was three shades of blue, light, dark, and aqua blue. It was short, maybe to a little bit above her knees, but the sleeves were long.
"Wow, Kiryu, try it on." They all started to say and Kiryu just couldn't move. She slowly nodded.
"Um, okay." Kiryu said silently and left. She changed and returned. The dress fit perfectly. The sleeves went to her wrists and the dress ended a few inches above her knees. The sleeves were blue and the ends of the sleeves were aqua blue. The top of the dress was blue and a line across the top right below the armpit line was light blue. Below the line the dress was aqua and the bottom of the dress was light blue. She wasn't wearing socks and she walked over to the box. There sat two shoes. Both were dark blue, grey on the bottom, and blue along the top rim. Kiryu slowly slid them on everyone crowded around.
"Hey, who got you that?" Someone asked, which they realized belonged to Mr. Clyne.
"Kira, did." Kiryu said and everyone complemented her and she enjoyed it. That night, Kira stayed over, another miracle. Kiryu sat in her room, laying on her bed, and was starring at the ceiling. Athrun and Kira were pacing by.
"What, can't find anything to do with all the new things you got?" Kira joked and she looked over at the door.
"What do you two want?" Kiryu asked in a jokingly way.
"Nothing much, just passing by." Athrun said and Kira nodded. The two left and and the scence changed to a new day, Febuary 10 CE 70. Athrun stood in a shop with Kiryu and she pulled out a big heart box from a shelf.
"Athrun, how bout this?" Kiryu asked and Athrun couldn't help but laugh.
"I think that that might be a little too big." Athrun said and he pulled out a smaller heart, yet it was still big. Kiryu nodded in approval and Athrun pulled out another. They both walked over to the counter and paid for them. They got hom a few minutes later and Kiryu began to write in the little card that came alone with it.
"Hum…… Kira, I was hoping to be here when you get this, but I have to have Athrun give it to you. I want you to be my valentine. Luv, Kiryu." Kiryu said as she wrote all that down. Athrun had to surppress his laughter. He knew the truth, Kira was planing to send flowers to Kiryu when she gets to Junious seven and it would arrive in time for valentine's day.
"Hey, what makes you think I'd give them to Kira FOR you?" Athrun asked and Kiryu stood up. She walked over to Athrun and hugged him.
"Cause you're my older brother and you're always nice enough to do small tasks for me when I can't do them. So please, can you give the candy to Kira?" Kiryu asked and Athrun smiled.
"Of course." Athrun said and Kiryu jumped back and took a few steps back. She picked up the candy and slowly walked it over to him.
"Thanks so much Athrun." Kiryu smiled and the scence switched over to 2 days later when Athrun and their father were seeing off Kiryu and their mother.
"We'll be back on Kiryu's birthday." Lenore, their mother, said as she gave Athrun a hug and then kissed Patrick, their father.
"Okay, and we will see both of you then." Patrick said and she nodded. Kiryu gave her father a hug and Athrun a kiss on the cheek. She wore an outfit that Kira gave her, the white capris with the blue on the bottom, the white shirt with the blue on the coller and sleeves, the blue laces in her hair, the blue tie around her waist, and the blue shoes.
"Athrun, don't forget your promise. Don't forget to give that to Kira. If you don't I'll get revenge." Kiryu said with a smile and Athrun smiled.
"I won't forget. You can count on me so you can forget making plans on revenge. You won't be thinking about it, for what I had to send is waiting for you. You'll just have to wait to see." Athrun said with a wink and Kiryu giggled as Kila jumped onto her shoulder.
"Fine, Athrun, have it your way. I'll miss you." Kiryu said as she gave Athrun another hug.
"I'll miss you, too, but hey when you get back, we'll play with Kira." Athrun said and Kiryu back up.
"Okay, Athrun. Till we meet again." Kiryu said and Athrun smiled. Kiryu and their mother walked off to the shuttle waiting to take boarding passengers to Junious seven. Athrun walked off and returned home with his dad. Athrun layed in his bed and the visson of Kiryu seeing the flowers from Kira filled his mind. The candy lay beside his bed and he closed his eyes, just as a new day appeared- Febuary 14 CE 70, the day of the Blodd Valentine Incident. Kira was right in front of Athrun, Athrun had his hand outstretched with the box of candy.
"Here, Kira, this is for you." Athrun said as Kira took it. He opened the card and read it.
"It's from Kiryu." Kira said and Athrun nodded. There was a loud noise as alarms started sounding across the town. Kira and Athrun had not been but a block from Athruns house and they ran as fast as they could there. Inside, Athrun turned on the tv and there was breaking news on.
"Attention, all citizens of local PLANTs near and around Junious Seven. An attacking Earth Alliance fleet has destroyed Junious seven. There is no word of any survivors. The rekage is so great and we do not know if any EA ships are near by, so we dare not go close." The reporter said and showed where Junious seven once stood, all that was there was rekage.
"Oh my god." Athrun said and starred in shock.
"This just in. We have sent on ships and mobile fleets to inspect the area. So far there are no reports of anyone alive, nor any EA forces still in the area. We have a record, there were 243,721 killed in this tradgity we have word that will now be known as the Bloody Valentine incident." The reporter said right before Athrun clicked the button and turned the tv off.
"Mom, Kiryu, you both can't be gone." Athrun said as she dropped to his knees and tears filled his eyes. Kira knelt down and Athrun turned to look at him.
"Athrun, they'll find them alive. I bet, Kiryu has survived. She's a zala and a strong one. She couldn't have died." Kira said trying to think the best of the situation that had arrived. Athrun looked tried to smile and finaly forced a smile.
"Ya, Kiryu probably made." Athrun said and the scence switched to a new day- a day in CE 68. Athrun handed a small present over to Kira. The small green bird flew over and sat on Kira's shoulder.
"Kira, I want you to have this, as a present to represent our friendship." Athrun said and Birdy flew and sat on Kira's shoulder.
"What do you mean, Athrun?" Kira asked a little confused.
"I'm going away, Kira. To somewhere else where I won't be able to see you. It's hard on my father, the loose of my mother and sister, and he wants to go some place new. We'll always be friends, no matter how many years pass." Athrun said and Kira smiled.
"Ya, forever friends." Kira said and everything went blank. Athrun snapped awake and the first site he saw was 15 year old Nicol Amalfi.
"Nicol?" Athrun asked a little confused and Nicol sat down on the bed with a smile on his face.
"Athrun, guess what?!" Nicol said.
"What?" Athrun asked, alittle iratated that the younger pilot was in HIS room at whatever time it was asking HIM to guess.
"We're being called to go out and inspect the area. Commander Le Creuset said that there was some activity spotted in the area and he wants us to check it out, me and you. Yzak and Dearka aren't supposed to know, so keep quiet as we leave. So you better get changed and report to the control room, where the commander is waiting." Nicol said as he got up. Athrun got a better look at Nicol. His green hair was a bit of a mess and he wore the red mobile suit that all mobile pilots wear.
"How long do I have?" Athrun asked, tirdly and Nicol laughed.
"15 minutes Athrun, use your time wisely." Nicol said and exited the room. Athrun slowly got out and walked intot he bathroom. He brushed his teeth and his hair, he'd have time later to take a shower. Athrun walked back out and changed into his red mobile suit. He grabbed his helmet and left his room. He slowly glided along to the control room, but he bumped into someone on the way.
"Ow." The voice said sleepily. Athrun looked at the half asleep Dearka and couldn't help but laugh at the look on his face.
"Sorry, Dearka." Athrun said and tried to make a quick escape, but Dearka grabbed his hand and Athrun turned and looked at him. Dearka still looked half asleep and it showed in his actions.
"You wanna know something, Athrun. I don't like you! You're such an idiot. How I could get mixed up with a kid like you?! You minus as well be dead like the ones who died in the bloody valentine tradgity! you never treat the rest of us like friends nor teammates. You better shappen up or I'll......" Dearka almost said but he turned his face and looked at the wall.
"Dearka?" Athrun asked and Dearka turned around with his toungue sticking out and his eyes squinting. Athrun broke free and hit the wall. Dearka began to laugh and Yzak came out from a nearby room.
"What the heck is going on, can't anyone get some peace and quiet?" Yzak said and Dearka continued to laugh while Athrun clentched his chest. How could Dearka play him as a fool.
"I got Athrun!" Dearka laughed and Yzak looked at him.
"Athrun, hey Athrun!" Yzak yelled towards Athrun and Athrun remembered his memory or dream about that. Was it a dream or truely a memory of his past?
"Athrun?" Dearka asked as he placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Huh?" Athrun said snapping out of it.
Where are you doing?" Yzak asked and Athrun remembered he had to get to the control room.
"Oh. I have to do something." Athrun said quickly.
"Are you okay?" Dearka asked.
"Ya. I have to go." Athrun said as he glided downt he hallway and knowing he had less than 5 minutes to get to the control room. You were on time if you were early and late if you were on time. Athrun entered the control room one minute early.
"Ah, Athrun. You're here. I want you two to scout the area. Report anything you find or see." Commander Le Creuset said and both boys saluted at the same time.
"Yes sir." They both said and left. They hurried intot heir gundams and launched. They floated around space and when they came around a rock they sportted something, a gundam. The gundam spotted them and aimed it's weapons at them, but never fired.
"Who are you, what's your regiment, your side, and state your bussiness!" A female voice said.
"Athrun Zala, under Commander Le Creuset's orders to search out the area. I'm with Zaft." Athrun said.
"Nicol Amalfi, under Commander Le Creuset's orders to search out the area. I am also with Zaft." Nicol replied.
"Can I ask you something?" Athrun asked and it caught the woman off guard.
"What is it?" The voice asked and Athrun realized that the voice belonged to a girl around his age or so.
"How old are you, exactly?" Athrun asked.
"If you must know, I'm 15. Don't go making any fuss now, Athrun. I'll report right to Commander Le Creuset. I'm a Leiutenant in the war and you better shappen up, you here?" The voice responded.
"So Leiutenant, what side are you on anyway? And why did you point your weapons at us and still have them on us?" Nicol asked and the girl gasped. The weapons disappeared and the girl chuckled.
"Sorry. You can't be careful out here. You don't wanna go shotting the wrong side. It'd be the wrost punishment for shotting your ownside instead of the enemy." The girl said.
"It'd be ashame." Nicol said and Athrun pulled out a gun and shot at the girl's gundam.
"Hey, what was that for?!" Both the girl and Nicol said at the same time.
"She's with the EA! She's a natural!" Athrun said and Nicol gasped.
"HOW DARE YOU, ATHRUN! I AIN'T NO NATURAL! IF I EVER WAS A NATURAL THEN I'D WANT SOMEONE TO SHOOT ME DEAD! THE NATURALS ARE WHAT STARTED EVERYTHING! IT AIN'T OUR FAULT AS COORDINATORS TO BE BORN THIS WAY! You both understand, don't you?" The girl said and Athrun prepared to fire again.
"Go on." Athrun said.
"A child doesn't get to choose if he or she will become a coordinator. It's decided by their parent's before his or her birth. If the parents are coordinators then their child will be a second generation coordinator, if not then they'd be a first class coordinator and their children will be second generations. I know that both of you are second generations- Athrun's father represents December City on the Plant Sypreme Council and Nicol's father represents Maius City. I also know that Yzak Joule and Dearka Elsman, in your regiment, are also second generation coordinators. Both their father's are on the Plant Supreme Council- Dearka's father represents Februarious City and Yzak's father represents Martius City. Oh ya Athrun, Lacus Clyne's father represents Aprilius City on the Plant Supreme Council. Does it convience you NOW that's I'm a coordinator? I'm a second generation coordinator." The girl said and Athrun's weapon disappeared.
"Fine." Athrun said.
"Look around you two. Do you realize where you are?" The girl said.
"No, where are we?" Nicol asked and the girl giggled.
"Why, we're where Junious seven once was before the stupid EA blew it up, alone with your mother and sister Athrun." The girl said, but Athrun didn't say anything and slowly something drifted towards them.
"Hey, look! Those are flowers and they survived!" Nicol yelled and they looked at the floating flowers. Athrun attached a tie to him and he opened the cockpit. He slowly floated out into space and he caught the flowers.
"Athrun, what are you doing?! What if the EA comes?! You'd be a sitting duck!" The girl yelled.
"Shut up!" Athrun yelled and the everything seemed to stop real quick.
"Athrun, what's up?" Nicol managed to say after a moment of silence or "pause for a cause" as he liked to call it when something happened.
"These flowers. They were sent to my sister on Feburary 14 CE 70. They were from my old friend Kira. He wanted me to send them to her in hopes she'd get them in time and she ended up getting him chocolate. I still remember the laughter I had to surpress, but I when I heard the news I just thought my world would just crash down. These flowers remain. I guess the fondness Kira had for my sister helped keep these flowers alive." Athrun said.
"Athrun, I'm sorry. Let the flowers go Athrun. It's best for anyone who passes by to remember the loved ones lost in that tradgity." The girl said and Athrun let go of the flowers. They slowly drifted away and Athrun returned back to his mobile suit.
"Get going. Head back to your ship. We won't tell the commander about. So go." Athrun said and the girl nodded.
"K. Cya Athrun. You, too, Nicol. Cya you on the battle field." The girl said and took off. The two boys scouted out the area and found nothing else, so they returned back to the ship. They went right to the control room and met Commander le Creuset.
"So?" The commander asked.
"Nothing sir." They both said.
"Fine. You can return back to your rooms." Commander Le Creuset said and the two left. Athrun went back to his room and closed the door only for it to be opened again by 15 year old Nicol.
"Nicol, what do you wan?" Athrun asked is a harsh voice as the the boy glided over and sat down next to him.
"Are you mad, Athrun? Made about loosing your mother and sister in the bloody valentine tradgity?" Nicol asked and looked at Athrun.
"No." Athrun said sharply and Nicol laughed, earning him a stare from Athrun.
"It sounds like you do. I never knew you had a soft spot for that. You always seemed like the kind not to care bout much except to get the work done. Now you mostly care bout the EA and their gundam pilot, Kira." Nicol said and Athrun sighed.
"I am alittle mad that that girl brought that up. My sister would be your age, now, Nicol." Athrun said and Nicol smiled.
"Do you have a picture of her, that I could see?" Nicol asked as Athrun pulled a picture out from underneath his pillow and handed it to Nicol.
"Here." Athrun said and Nicol looked at the picture. The picture showed a young girl with curly blue hair and green eyes in a blue bikini, next to a brown haired boy with brown eyes wearing a green badeing suit shorts, and a boy with curly blue hair and green hair in a blue badeing suit shorts stood next next to the brown haired boy. Nicol realized the blue haired boy was Athrun and the girl must be his sister, but who was the other boy?
"Who's he?" Nicol asked and pointed to the brown haired boy.
"Kira Yamato." Athrun said and Nicol gasped.
"Kira Yamato as in the boy from Kiryu's birthday party last year and the same Kira that pilots the Strike Gundam for the EA?" Nicol asked and Athrun nodded. Nicol handed back the picture and nodded.
"I'm gunna head back to my room. See you later, Athrun." Nicol said as he left, but Athrun stopped him.
"Nicol, hold up. I want you to have something." Athrun said as he pulled another picture out from under his pillow and glided over to Nicol. He handed him the picture and Nicol looked at it. It was from Kiryu's birthday party 7 days before the bloody valentine tradgity. Kiryu was kissing Nicol in thanks for the present. Nicol blushed and looked at Athrun.
"Thanks, Athrun." Nicol said and left. Athrun went back and wondered, who really was that girl in the mobile suit and what about kira, where was he?
16 year old Athrun Zala walked through the hallway of the ship. Athrun had lots to think about anf he wanted to be alone. He wanted to remember his past, what was it that he wanted to forget. He turely forgot ad now he wanted to remember. Athrun walked into his room and layed down. He slowly fell asleep and what he wanted to remember came to his mind.

Born Febuary 16 CE 56, she was more like a few months younger, for he was born October 29 CE 55.
"What's up, Kiryu?" Athrun asked and she held up clamped hands. She slowly opened them and a butterfly rested in ehr hands. The majestic butterfly sat still, flapping it's yellow wings. At the first sight of sun, it slowly floated away. Botht eh kids watched it fly away.
"That. I wanted to show you the butterfly, Athrun." Kiryu smiled and Athrun couldn't help but smile.
"It was nice. Did mother allow you to come out?" Athrun asked and Kiryu nodded. The scence switched to them a few years later. Kiryu was still 13 and Athrun was 15. The date was January 1 CE 70. The first day of the month. It was late at night and Kira was spending the night. How Athrun convinced the Yamato family to let him stay over was a mystery, but he didn't care. The house was nice and it fit the family. Kiryu was in the bathroom, taking a shower and the two boys were off in the back. In the back, there was a hot tub and both boys enjoyed the warmth. Kiryu turned off the water and stepped out. She slowly dryed herself off and looked towards where she put her night clothes, but they were not there.
"Aw man, how could I let Athrun and Kira take my clothes." Kiryu said as she pulled on her bathrobe. She dried her hair with a towel and looked in the mirror. Her blue hair was curly and went to her shoulders. Part of her chest showed, but she figured she wouldn't even see the boys on the way to her room. She slowly walked out and shut the light off behind her. She sighed as a small electronic cat appeared by her side.
"Meow." It replied when Kiryu bent down to pet it.
"Hi, Kila." Kiryu said and the cat purred. She stood back up and walked to her room. She passed the door that lead to the back deck where the hot tub was and stood at the site of Kira laughing as Athrun struggled to break free so he could get some air. Kira turned his head to see Kiryu starring at him and let Athrun go. Athrun popped up and breathed a deep breath. Kiryu blushed and took off.
"Hey, what's up Kira?" Athrun asked as he looked towards the door.
"Oh, nothing Athrun. Hey, you wanna go watch a movie or play a game?" Kira suggested and Athrun smiled. They both got out and stopped at the door.
"I have to go to the bathroom, I'll meet you out in the living room. Okay?" Athrun asked and Kira nodded.
"Sure." Both took off. Athrun hit the bathroom before Kira could barely take that many steps and he decided to see Kiryu. Kiryu sat in a chair, in her room, and was brushing her hair. Kira walked in and laughed. Kiryu puffed her cheeks out and turned to look at Kira.
"What's so funny, Kira?" Kiryu asked.
"Nothing, but you. The way you act, you'd think you were a natural." Kira laughed and Kiryu slammed her brush down at the same time her chair slid back.
"KIRA YAMATO! HOW DARE YOU! I AM NO NATURAL! I AUGHT TO-" Kiryu's rage was cut short by Kira.
"Or you'll what? I know I shouldn't be tampering with you, cuz I know there's more to you then a pretty face. You'd destroy all of the naturalists if you had a gundam suit and were allowed to." Kira said and it made Kiryu calm down just a little. Kira walked in and Kila jumped up onto Kiryu's shoulder.
"Kira Yamato, you always have a knack at getting yourself in trouble, but always find a way out. One day, Kira, it won't happen and you'll get into a lot of trouble." Kiryu said with a smile and Kira put his hands behind his head.
"Nah, I don't plan to ever get caught and I won't get caught, unless a cute lil blue birdy sings on me." Kira said and Kiryu knew what he was talking about so she winked.
"I won't tell on you if you won't tell on me, so my lips are sealed." Kiryu said and Kira smiled.

Athrun, who had been by the corner and saw the hole thing, snuck away and got to the living room before Kira. He sat on the couch, waiting and Kra arrived.
"Ready to play?" Athrun said and Kira nodded.
"Oh, ya. You bet." Kira said and the scence switched to a new day. It was Febuary 7 CE 70, the day of Kiryu's birthday party. Many people were there including the Joule family, the Yamato family, the Elsman family, the Amalfi family, the Clyne family, and many more. Many presents were given to her, but only one stayed away, the one from Kira himself. One no one was around, Kira walked over with the box and handed it to her.
"Kira?" Kiryu asked as she looked at Kira.
"Here, happy birthday, Kiryu. Even though there's 9 days till you truly turn 14." Kira said and Kiryu took the box. Yzak Joule, Nicol Amalfi, Lacus Clyne, Dearka Elsman, and Athrun crowded around as Kiryu put the box on a nearby table. She slowly opened it to see what was inside. Two pairs of shoes, one blue and one pink, two white cappris, one with blue on the bottom and the other with pink, two white shirts with no sleeves, one with pink on the coller and sleeves and the other was blue on the colloer and sleeves, two laces, one blue and one pink, eight hair scrunches, four blue and four pink, and two ties, one blue and one pink. When she reached the bottom she stopped, but then pulled out the dress and starred in amazement. It was three shades of blue, light, dark, and aqua blue. It was short, maybe to a little bit above her knees, but the sleeves were long.
"Wow, Kiryu, try it on." They all started to say and Kiryu just couldn't move. She slowly nodded.
"Um, okay." Kiryu said silently and left. She changed and returned. The dress fit perfectly. The sleeves went to her wrists and the dress ended a few inches above her knees. The sleeves were blue and the ends of the sleeves were aqua blue. The top of the dress was blue and a line across the top right below the armpit line was light blue. Below the line the dress was aqua and the bottom of the dress was light blue. She wasn't wearing socks and she walked over to the box. There sat two shoes. Both were dark blue, grey on the bottom, and blue along the top rim. Kiryu slowly slid them on everyone crowded around.
"Hey, who got you that?" Someone asked, which they realized belonged to Mr. Clyne.
"Kira, did." Kiryu said and everyone complemented her and she enjoyed it. That night, Kira stayed over, another miracle. Kiryu sat in her room, laying on her bed, and was starring at the ceiling. Athrun and Kira were pacing by.
"What, can't find anything to do with all the new things you got?" Kira joked and she looked over at the door.
"What do you two want?" Kiryu asked in a jokingly way.
"Nothing much, just passing by." Athrun said and Kira nodded. The two left and and the scence changed to a new day, Febuary 10 CE 70. Athrun stood in a shop with Kiryu and she pulled out a big heart box from a shelf.
"Athrun, how bout this?" Kiryu asked and Athrun couldn't help but laugh.
"I think that that might be a little too big." Athrun said and he pulled out a smaller heart, yet it was still big. Kiryu nodded in approval and Athrun pulled out another. They both walked over to the counter and paid for them. They got hom a few minutes later and Kiryu began to write in the little card that came alone with it.
"Hum…… Kira, I was hoping to be here when you get this, but I have to have Athrun give it to you. I want you to be my valentine. Luv, Kiryu." Kiryu said as she wrote all that down. Athrun had to surppress his laughter. He knew the truth, Kira was planing to send flowers to Kiryu when she gets to Junious seven and it would arrive in time for valentine's day.
"Hey, what makes you think I'd give them to Kira FOR you?" Athrun asked and Kiryu stood up. She walked over to Athrun and hugged him.
"Cause you're my older brother and you're always nice enough to do small tasks for me when I can't do them. So please, can you give the candy to Kira?" Kiryu asked and Athrun smiled.
"Of course." Athrun said and Kiryu jumped back and took a few steps back. She picked up the candy and slowly walked it over to him.
"Thanks so much Athrun." Kiryu smiled and the scence switched over to 2 days later when Athrun and their father were seeing off Kiryu and their mother.
"We'll be back on Kiryu's birthday." Lenore, their mother, said as she gave Athrun a hug and then kissed Patrick, their father.
"Okay, and we will see both of you then." Patrick said and she nodded. Kiryu gave her father a hug and Athrun a kiss on the cheek. She wore an outfit that Kira gave her, the white capris with the blue on the bottom, the white shirt with the blue on the coller and sleeves, the blue laces in her hair, the blue tie around her waist, and the blue shoes.
"Athrun, don't forget your promise. Don't forget to give that to Kira. If you don't I'll get revenge." Kiryu said with a smile and Athrun smiled.
"I won't forget. You can count on me so you can forget making plans on revenge. You won't be thinking about it, for what I had to send is waiting for you. You'll just have to wait to see." Athrun said with a wink and Kiryu giggled as Kila jumped onto her shoulder.
"Fine, Athrun, have it your way. I'll miss you." Kiryu said as she gave Athrun another hug.
"I'll miss you, too, but hey when you get back, we'll play with Kira." Athrun said and Kiryu back up.
"Okay, Athrun. Till we meet again." Kiryu said and Athrun smiled. Kiryu and their mother walked off to the shuttle waiting to take boarding passengers to Junious seven. Athrun walked off and returned home with his dad. Athrun layed in his bed and the visson of Kiryu seeing the flowers from Kira filled his mind. The candy lay beside his bed and he closed his eyes, just as a new day appeared- Febuary 14 CE 70, the day of the Blodd Valentine Incident. Kira was right in front of Athrun, Athrun had his hand outstretched with the box of candy.
"Here, Kira, this is for you." Athrun said as Kira took it. He opened the card and read it.
"It's from Kiryu." Kira said and Athrun nodded. There was a loud noise as alarms started sounding across the town. Kira and Athrun had not been but a block from Athruns house and they ran as fast as they could there. Inside, Athrun turned on the tv and there was breaking news on.
"Attention, all citizens of local PLANTs near and around Junious Seven. An attacking Earth Alliance fleet has destroyed Junious seven. There is no word of any survivors. The rekage is so great and we do not know if any EA ships are near by, so we dare not go close." The reporter said and showed where Junious seven once stood, all that was there was rekage.
"Oh my god." Athrun said and starred in shock.
"This just in. We have sent on ships and mobile fleets to inspect the area. So far there are no reports of anyone alive, nor any EA forces still in the area. We have a record, there were 243,721 killed in this tradgity we have word that will now be known as the Bloody Valentine incident." The reporter said right before Athrun clicked the button and turned the tv off.
"Mom, Kiryu, you both can't be gone." Athrun said as she dropped to his knees and tears filled his eyes. Kira knelt down and Athrun turned to look at him.
"Athrun, they'll find them alive. I bet, Kiryu has survived. She's a zala and a strong one. She couldn't have died." Kira said trying to think the best of the situation that had arrived. Athrun looked tried to smile and finaly forced a smile.
"Ya, Kiryu probably made." Athrun said and the scence switched to a new day- a day in CE 68. Athrun handed a small present over to Kira. The small green bird flew over and sat on Kira's shoulder.
"Kira, I want you to have this, as a present to represent our friendship." Athrun said and Birdy flew and sat on Kira's shoulder.
"What do you mean, Athrun?" Kira asked a little confused.
"I'm going away, Kira. To somewhere else where I won't be able to see you. It's hard on my father, the loose of my mother and sister, and he wants to go some place new. We'll always be friends, no matter how many years pass." Athrun said and Kira smiled.
"Ya, forever friends." Kira said and everything went blank. Athrun snapped awake and the first site he saw was 15 year old Nicol Amalfi.
"Nicol?" Athrun asked a little confused and Nicol sat down on the bed with a smile on his face.
"Athrun, guess what?!" Nicol said.
"What?" Athrun asked, alittle iratated that the younger pilot was in HIS room at whatever time it was asking HIM to guess.
"We're being called to go out and inspect the area. Commander Le Creuset said that there was some activity spotted in the area and he wants us to check it out, me and you. Yzak and Dearka aren't supposed to know, so keep quiet as we leave. So you better get changed and report to the control room, where the commander is waiting." Nicol said as he got up. Athrun got a better look at Nicol. His green hair was a bit of a mess and he wore the red mobile suit that all mobile pilots wear.
"How long do I have?" Athrun asked, tirdly and Nicol laughed.
"15 minutes Athrun, use your time wisely." Nicol said and exited the room. Athrun slowly got out and walked intot he bathroom. He brushed his teeth and his hair, he'd have time later to take a shower. Athrun walked back out and changed into his red mobile suit. He grabbed his helmet and left his room. He slowly glided along to the control room, but he bumped into someone on the way.
"Ow." The voice said sleepily. Athrun looked at the half asleep Dearka and couldn't help but laugh at the look on his face.
"Sorry, Dearka." Athrun said and tried to make a quick escape, but Dearka grabbed his hand and Athrun turned and looked at him. Dearka still looked half asleep and it showed in his actions.
"You wanna know something, Athrun. I don't like you! You're such an idiot. How I could get mixed up with a kid like you?! You minus as well be dead like the ones who died in the bloody valentine tradgity! you never treat the rest of us like friends nor teammates. You better shappen up or I'll......" Dearka almost said but he turned his face and looked at the wall.
"Dearka?" Athrun asked and Dearka turned around with his toungue sticking out and his eyes squinting. Athrun broke free and hit the wall. Dearka began to laugh and Yzak came out from a nearby room.
"What the heck is going on, can't anyone get some peace and quiet?" Yzak said and Dearka continued to laugh while Athrun clentched his chest. How could Dearka play him as a fool.
"I got Athrun!" Dearka laughed and Yzak looked at him.
"Athrun, hey Athrun!" Yzak yelled towards Athrun and Athrun remembered his memory or dream about that. Was it a dream or truely a memory of his past?
"Athrun?" Dearka asked as he placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Huh?" Athrun said snapping out of it.
Where are you doing?" Yzak asked and Athrun remembered he had to get to the control room.
"Oh. I have to do something." Athrun said quickly.
"Are you okay?" Dearka asked.
"Ya. I have to go." Athrun said as he glided downt he hallway and knowing he had less than 5 minutes to get to the control room. You were on time if you were early and late if you were on time. Athrun entered the control room one minute early.
"Ah, Athrun. You're here. I want you two to scout the area. Report anything you find or see." Commander Le Creuset said and both boys saluted at the same time.
"Yes sir." They both said and left. They hurried intot heir gundams and launched. They floated around space and when they came around a rock they sportted something, a gundam. The gundam spotted them and aimed it's weapons at them, but never fired.
"Who are you, what's your regiment, your side, and state your bussiness!" A female voice said.
"Athrun Zala, under Commander Le Creuset's orders to search out the area. I'm with Zaft." Athrun said.
"Nicol Amalfi, under Commander Le Creuset's orders to search out the area. I am also with Zaft." Nicol replied.
"Can I ask you something?" Athrun asked and it caught the woman off guard.
"What is it?" The voice asked and Athrun realized that the voice belonged to a girl around his age or so.
"How old are you, exactly?" Athrun asked.
"If you must know, I'm 15. Don't go making any fuss now, Athrun. I'll report right to Commander Le Creuset. I'm a Leiutenant in the war and you better shappen up, you here?" The voice responded.
"So Leiutenant, what side are you on anyway? And why did you point your weapons at us and still have them on us?" Nicol asked and the girl gasped. The weapons disappeared and the girl chuckled.
"Sorry. You can't be careful out here. You don't wanna go shotting the wrong side. It'd be the wrost punishment for shotting your ownside instead of the enemy." The girl said.
"It'd be ashame." Nicol said and Athrun pulled out a gun and shot at the girl's gundam.
"Hey, what was that for?!" Both the girl and Nicol said at the same time.
"She's with the EA! She's a natural!" Athrun said and Nicol gasped.
"HOW DARE YOU, ATHRUN! I AIN'T NO NATURAL! IF I EVER WAS A NATURAL THEN I'D WANT SOMEONE TO SHOOT ME DEAD! THE NATURALS ARE WHAT STARTED EVERYTHING! IT AIN'T OUR FAULT AS COORDINATORS TO BE BORN THIS WAY! You both understand, don't you?" The girl said and Athrun prepared to fire again.
"Go on." Athrun said.
"A child doesn't get to choose if he or she will become a coordinator. It's decided by their parent's before his or her birth. If the parents are coordinators then their child will be a second generation coordinator, if not then they'd be a first class coordinator and their children will be second generations. I know that both of you are second generations- Athrun's father represents December City on the Plant Sypreme Council and Nicol's father represents Maius City. I also know that Yzak Joule and Dearka Elsman, in your regiment, are also second generation coordinators. Both their father's are on the Plant Supreme Council- Dearka's father represents Februarious City and Yzak's father represents Martius City. Oh ya Athrun, Lacus Clyne's father represents Aprilius City on the Plant Supreme Council. Does it convience you NOW that's I'm a coordinator? I'm a second generation coordinator." The girl said and Athrun's weapon disappeared.
"Fine." Athrun said.
"Look around you two. Do you realize where you are?" The girl said.
"No, where are we?" Nicol asked and the girl giggled.
"Why, we're where Junious seven once was before the stupid EA blew it up, alone with your mother and sister Athrun." The girl said, but Athrun didn't say anything and slowly something drifted towards them.
"Hey, look! Those are flowers and they survived!" Nicol yelled and they looked at the floating flowers. Athrun attached a tie to him and he opened the cockpit. He slowly floated out into space and he caught the flowers.
"Athrun, what are you doing?! What if the EA comes?! You'd be a sitting duck!" The girl yelled.
"Shut up!" Athrun yelled and the everything seemed to stop real quick.
"Athrun, what's up?" Nicol managed to say after a moment of silence or "pause for a cause" as he liked to call it when something happened.
"These flowers. They were sent to my sister on Feburary 14 CE 70. They were from my old friend Kira. He wanted me to send them to her in hopes she'd get them in time and she ended up getting him chocolate. I still remember the laughter I had to surpress, but I when I heard the news I just thought my world would just crash down. These flowers remain. I guess the fondness Kira had for my sister helped keep these flowers alive." Athrun said.
"Athrun, I'm sorry. Let the flowers go Athrun. It's best for anyone who passes by to remember the loved ones lost in that tradgity." The girl said and Athrun let go of the flowers. They slowly drifted away and Athrun returned back to his mobile suit.
"Get going. Head back to your ship. We won't tell the commander about. So go." Athrun said and the girl nodded.
"K. Cya Athrun. You, too, Nicol. Cya you on the battle field." The girl said and took off. The two boys scouted out the area and found nothing else, so they returned back to the ship. They went right to the control room and met Commander le Creuset.
"So?" The commander asked.
"Nothing sir." They both said.
"Fine. You can return back to your rooms." Commander Le Creuset said and the two left. Athrun went back to his room and closed the door only for it to be opened again by 15 year old Nicol.
"Nicol, what do you wan?" Athrun asked is a harsh voice as the the boy glided over and sat down next to him.
"Are you mad, Athrun? Made about loosing your mother and sister in the bloody valentine tradgity?" Nicol asked and looked at Athrun.
"No." Athrun said sharply and Nicol laughed, earning him a stare from Athrun.
"It sounds like you do. I never knew you had a soft spot for that. You always seemed like the kind not to care bout much except to get the work done. Now you mostly care bout the EA and their gundam pilot, Kira." Nicol said and Athrun sighed.
"I am alittle mad that that girl brought that up. My sister would be your age, now, Nicol." Athrun said and Nicol smiled.
"Do you have a picture of her, that I could see?" Nicol asked as Athrun pulled a picture out from underneath his pillow and handed it to Nicol.
"Here." Athrun said and Nicol looked at the picture. The picture showed a young girl with curly blue hair and green eyes in a blue bikini, next to a brown haired boy with brown eyes wearing a green badeing suit shorts, and a boy with curly blue hair and green hair in a blue badeing suit shorts stood next next to the brown haired boy. Nicol realized the blue haired boy was Athrun and the girl must be his sister, but who was the other boy?
"Who's he?" Nicol asked and pointed to the brown haired boy.
"Kira Yamato." Athrun said and Nicol gasped.
"Kira Yamato as in the boy from Kiryu's birthday party last year and the same Kira that pilots the Strike Gundam for the EA?" Nicol asked and Athrun nodded. Nicol handed back the picture and nodded.
"I'm gunna head back to my room. See you later, Athrun." Nicol said as he left, but Athrun stopped him.
"Nicol, hold up. I want you to have something." Athrun said as he pulled another picture out from under his pillow and glided over to Nicol. He handed him the picture and Nicol looked at it. It was from Kiryu's birthday party 7 days before the bloody valentine tradgity. Kiryu was kissing Nicol in thanks for the present. Nicol blushed and looked at Athrun.
"Thanks, Athrun." Nicol said and left. Athrun went back and wondered, who really was that girl in the mobile suit and what about kira, where was he?
