Set in Episode 34

"Wouldn't it be nice, if we could remain like this forever?" The pink-haired girl said and smiled. She held the brown haired boy's arm close to her. The sun was about to set, and the pair stood on the balcony, watching the beautiful sun.

"Can I…really stay with you like this? Lacus. I mean er-well about you and Athrun being engaged…" The purple eyed boy said.

"Of course, I don't any problems. You'll be safe here too, Kira." Lacus said and smiled. "Come, it's time for dinner." Lacus smiled and dragged Kira back into the house.

Kira had not yet gotten used to eating with Lacus's father, Siegel Clyne, and Malchio. He felt guilty because he had been fighting Zaft all along but right now he is staying in Plant.

"Take it easy; don't strain yourself like that. You may stay here and relax." Siegel said

"Umm…thank you, for taking me into your custody. I-I don't deserve to be treated this well." Kira said.

"And why is that?" Siegel asked the boy.

"I…had been fighting Zaft all along…and yet…" Kira didn't know how to express his gratitude for Clyne's kindness.

"Don't worry about that. You fought because you wanted to protect your friends right? Lacus told me about it. You didn't fight because you wanted to; we understand that well. Right, Lacus?" Lacus smiled at her father's words. It was true that both of them knew Kira's reason for fighting and they understood his situation well, because they too, had wanted to end the war.

"Lord Siegel Clyne, you have a call from Lord Eileen Canaver." A voice over the intercom said.

"Now, if you'll excuse me. Lacus, please take good care of him." Siegel left the dining hall and went into his office.

Kira continued to eat his dinner along with Lacus and Malchio. After they had finished eating, Kira helped them clean up the place up along with Lacus. Malchio smiled at how the two had gotten close.

Suddenly Lacus kissed Kira on the cheek. Kira jumped up, and asked her what that was about.

"Well, a grain of rice was on your cheek so…" Lacus didn't finish the sentence but she just smiled. Kira's face turned such a deep red that it made Lacus giggle at him.

"Umm…I think I should go get some sleep." Kira said goodnight to Lacus and Malchio and went to sleep in his room.

"He is really a nice boy isn't he? He shouldn't be getting caught up in this war." Malchio said to Lacus.

"Yes…because of war, Kira…had many nightmares." Lacus said.

"I guess it time for me to get some sleep too." Lacus helped Malchio walk back to his room. After Lacus had said goodnight to Malchio she went to see Kira.

Lacus opened the door to see Kira sleeping and smiling. She was happy that at least she could make Kira smile in his sleep. She kissed his cheek before she left.

"Kira!"

"No, Tolle! Stay away." A red shield flew into the skygrasper, killing the pilot in one hit.

"Noooo!." Kira woke up crying. The tears were flowing from his eyes. Kira brushed away the tears.

He looked out at the window and saw that it was dawn already.

Kira walked out of the room, and then out of the house. He walked along the beach to recollect his thoughts.

"What're you doing here so early?" A voice asked him behind.

"I…just had a nightmare so…I walked up to clear my mind." Kira answered "What about you, Lacus?"

"I saw you walk out of the house so I walked after you. I need to take care of you, don't I?" Lacus smiled. But Kira still looked sad; he couldn't put Tolle's death behind him yet.

"Kira" Lacus called out his name and smiled. Then she pushed him into the water.

"La-Lacus! Why did you do that for?" Kira asked.

"Well, I just wanted you to cheer up." Lacus' beautiful smile rendered Kira speechless, he couldn't be angry with her when she was smiling like that.

"I'll pull you up, okay? 1, 2 ,3" Instead of pulling Kira up, Lacus was pulled down.

"Awww, Kira. That's not nice." Lacus said in a sulky tone.

Kira didn't say anything but he charged into Lacus and hugged her. He let himself cry in Lacus's arms. Lacus was there with him, singing to calm, comfort, and make peace to his soul.

When they saw the sun rise, they got out of the water; Kira took off his shirt and put it on Lacus so that she wouldn't get cold. Then they walked back to the house together.

Siegel watched the couple from faraway with Malchio and smiled when he saw how happy Kira had become...

"If the scar in his heart can be healed, it is good enough right? Reverend Malchio." Siegel sat at the table and have a sip of tea.

"Yes, I guess so. Because he holds Seed, I don't want him to be in pain because of his own power." Siegel sighed at Malchio's words..

"I'm sorry that I pulled you into the water." Kira apologized to the pink haired girl.

"No, it's okay. You should go change your clothes." Kira nodded and get back into his room. Lacus went to her room to get changed too. After Lacus changed her dressed, she went to check on Kira. She slowly opened the door to see Kira is changing his shirt. She slowly hugged him from behind.

"Kira…can I ask you something? Lacus slowly said.

"Yes, I'll help you if I can. Just tell me what you want me to do." Kira made his voice sound as gentle as possible as he could.

"Kira…will you stay with me…here? I want you to stay with me…I don't want you to leave." Lacus expressed her feelings for Kira for the times they've spend together.

"But…Lacus…you got Athrun…I can't simply…not again, I don't want to…" Kira didn't want it to happen again, first he made things worse between Fllay and Sai, now it's Lacus and Athrun. Kira kept wondering why he had to go through things like this over and over.

"It's okay…if you don't want to stay with me…" Lacus's voice was down and saddened.

"No…Lacus…It's just….I've already destroyed one of my friend's relationships. But I…don't want to see it happen…again. I can't make your relationship with Athrun worse too…I couldn't live up with it." Kira's body was shaking.

"I'm sorry…Kira, I- I shouldn't have said something like that…Just forget what I said…I'm sorry." Lacus left the room afterwards.

"Wait! Lacus, I…" Kira punched into the wall, He hated himself for always hurting the people close to him, on top of killing so many people as well.

Kira fully dressed himself and ran after Lacus. He caught her hands and said apologized to her for being rude.

"It's nothing…you don't have to worry about it, I'm not angry." Kira knew that Lacus was sad because of him so he wanted to make it up to her.

"Lacus, wait!" Kira didn't just stop her this time, he kissed her. Then Kira expressed his feelings to Lacus.

"I'm sorry…I-I really love you but…I'm afraid that I will hurt you, and I can't forgive myself if that happens." Lacus touch Kira's face with her hand and said "As long as you're with me, I believe that you won't hurt me, Kira. I will stay by your side too." The pair hugged each other as tightly as they could.

Kira held Lacus's hand and they walked to the glass room outside of their house together where Siegel and Malchio were drinking tea.

"I'm sorry, Reverend Malchio. But no flights scheduled for Earth have been allowed to take off." Siegel said.

"Father, is that true?" The pink haired girl asked her father.

"It seems that way Lacus." Siegel sighed.

"Lord Siegel, Lord Eileen Canaver wishes to speak with you. She said that it's an emergency and she needs to discuss it with you right away." A man voice spoke over.

"Put her on."

"Siegel Clyne, we have been deceived by Patrick Zala! The true target of the spilt break operation isn't Panama, but Alaska! The council didn't approve of this!" Eileen Canaver's words shocked Kira.

"Kira!" Kira fell to his knees just as Lacus screamed out his name.

Siegel left the room shortly afterwards to have a proper meeting with the council.

"I…I have go back…Lacus. I'm sorry…" Tears flowed down from Kira's eyes but he didn't cry.

"It's okay; you want to protect everyone right? But where will you go back to?" Lacus said.

"I have to go...back to Earth." Kira stood up and looked into Lacus's eyes.

"But you alone can't stop the war…" Lacus said in her normally calm tone.

"Still, I can no longer remain here and watch but do nothing." Kira continued the sentence that made Lacus made up her mind. "If one did nothing because he believes that he won't make any difference. He would end up doing even less. Then nothing will change, nothing will end."

"Then will you be fighting against Zaft again? Or Earth Force?" Kira shook his head at both of Lacus questions.

"Neither one. I think that if I fight…it will only cause the war to spread. After I stayed with you, you helped me realize and understand what I should really be fighting against." Lacus nodded, she held his arms and she led him to her father office.

"Father…" Siegel nodded okay to Lacus.

"Lacus, take him to that place. I'll prepare for an escape route, we have to stop Chairman Zala or else there will be nothing left to protect." Siegel ordered the butlers to pack things for them.

"Kira, this way." Lacus led Kira to dressing room; there she gives him a red Zaft suit.

"Wear this Kira." Lacus called out to one of the butlers and told him to inform everyone that Lacus Clyne will be singing a song of peace for those who have lost their beloved.

Kira changed his clothes and into the Zaft red suit and Lacus commented on how good he looked wearing it.

Lacus took Kira to the secret factory that was building a secret mobile suit. Every soldier greeted Lacus and smiled, happy to see her. They opened the door to the factory for her.

Lacus showed Kira a new Zaft Mobile Suit.

"Gundam!" Kira said it out in amazements.

"Well, it's actually different. This is ZGMF X10A Freedom, built under the orders from the new Chairman, Patrick Zala. But I like how you called it Gundam. It looks strong" Lacus told Kira to change into his pilot suit.

Kira held the Zaft suit that Lacus had given him firmly. "Can I take this with me? I don't want to lose it…" Lacus smiled and nodded. "Why are you letting me…"

"Because I believe that this mobile suit has the power that you need. It will surely fulfill your needs Kira; it can take you anywhere and help you when you're in need of the power to stop the war. Neither will alone nor strength alone can make difference." Lacus gave her short speech to Kira.

"Neither will nor strength alone…who are you really?" Kira looked into the pinked haired eyes.

"I am Lacus Clyne, Kira Yamato." Lacus smiled.

"Are you going to be all right?"

"I'll be okay, just promise that you will come back to me."

"Be careful okay?" Kira pulled Lacus close and kissed her. Kira blushed before he went into the cockpit of Freedom.

"Cool, this one has higher specs than Strike around 3-4 times." Kira looked at the monitor and saw Lacus waving goodbye to him before the door closed.

Kira started up Freedom and the airlocks was opened by the helped from Lacus's subordinate.

"Kira Yamato, Freedom. Launching!" The base alerted the defense force around that area to catch Freedom but no one was able to catch up with Freedom's speed. Kira flew back down into Earth, into Alaska, to where his friends were fighting.

Please rate and review the story. I felt like I actually cut the story at the ending a little. Sorry. After the Exams have passed, I'll be remaking it.
