Prologue

The world was beginning to change. We all saw that, especially Athrun. After the second war had ended, we had all gone our separate ways. Life was about unraveling, I guess.

"Kira," a soft velvet voice whispers in my ear, "Why are you still out here in the rain?"

"…Because the world is still crying."

The tides of war were coming again. After all that we have done, after all that we have fought for, war was coming again. Except this time, I do not know how many innocent people will have to die. A bell jingles, voicing the memorable songs of the dead. Some of them were the same I heard when their blood bespattered, brought by my own hands. When their songs left, my life did too, especially parts of my heart.

Through a rain-spattered window, I watch the droplets dwindling from the heavens. Whoever came in refuses to leave, her feminine shadow stands behind me. I refuse to turn around, not because I am scared, but because I know what lies ahead of me. I will become a killing machine, once again.

If only people learned to live together, maybe we would stop having these silly wars. Yet, I know, without a doubt, I will have to fight again, even if I do not want to. Arms wrap around my torso, bringing warmth in a cold room. A head lays itself on my shoulder. It curves underneath my own, as I bring it over top of hers.

I look down onto this beautiful face, exactly like my own. She has seen the horror of the world, yet she continues to fight, not for herself, but for others. Closer to her eyes, I see tears, and I was blinded. They made me think of nothing else, except her, and being with her. Sometimes, the world sits still, and nothing else matters.

But whenever we talked, we didn't; we listened to the silence.

"You're something that shouldn't have been allowed to exist, boy!" I remember every word said on the battlefield, especially Rau Le Creuset's. His words were one of the few, which made me believe; I should not be standing here nor walking. While I am mobile, I feel the eyes of not only the people, but also the world.

Glancing around a nearby corner, I notice someone small observing. Fearfully, a boy watches us as we pass him, the man in front of me that does not give the child a second look, continues into a ZAFT building. I, on the other hand, stop. I bring my hand up, and the boy begins cowering away, only to stop when my hand places itself on his head in an almost fatherly manner. His eyes snap open, and I see the little street urchin's green eyes, revealing his life's story. My lips upturn, a small set smile.

"You should be careful." My words whisper out. "It's dangerous over here."

I see the child nod, and he scampers along somewhere else. But as quickly as it happened, the moment was over, and I walk into the building, hurrying to find the other man. He is waiting for me, patting his foot lightly against the teal flooring.

"Sorry," I apologize, and we continue moving through the halls. While we walk, I notice the man's nametag, "Orga Ryohei." He is taller, bulkier than I am, and definitely older. His face has wrinkles of age and war scares. The man leads us to a door, and he directs me inside. Someone is talking, definitely a familiar voice.

"Athrun, we need to do something now!"

I enter, and I then watch the man close the door behind me. It shuts with a soft click, alarming everyone inside of my arrival.

I glance at the girl with blond hair, "Cagalli," a name slips out my lips. She, along with the other two people inside, faces me. However, the blonde-haired woman rushes towards me, crushing my bones in a tight embrace. After a seemingly reluctance, she backs away, beaming one moment, fuming the next.

"What the hell are we going to do, Kira?"

"We wait." I say, only igniting a further anger within the woman.

"That is exactly what Athrun said." She says, hotly blowing steam into the air.

I smile at him, Athrun Zala, formerly known as Alex Dino for a short while. He, who was my best friend, was now sighing. My sister could be a handful.

"Relax, Cagalli." I daringly place my hand on the steaming woman's stomach. "You don't want to disturb her."

I feel a small kick, knocking a smile onto my face. My niece was growing everyday while in my sister's stomach. However, there was a time for happiness, and now was not.

"How did we let this happen? How did I let this happen?"

I shook my head, returning a smile onto my face. Now was not the time for negative thoughts.

"If this war starts again," I begin, looking at my friends, comrades, family, loved ones, "People will die. However, we can fight to save those who want to live in peace."

Human beings as we act are flawed, imperfect and resort to fear and violence. However, all of them want to be happy, but others will be miserable.

"It is our duty to protect them." I glance at each one of them. "Together?"

"Together," they all agree. This time we were not fighting divided, we were fighting as one. However, I had a bad feeling: this war… I was going to die.

A/N: This was just a quick prologue of trying to get into the head of Kira and lay the foundation of his thoughts, voice.
