Chapter 1 Hiding Away
A/N I know some of you have waited quite a while for this sequel, sorry, I had to finish "A Second Generation". This seuqel is basically sort of about Athrun & Cagalli trying to escape Mia Campbell and her guards and all. Hope you like it!
"Oi! You'd better stop keeping that alien in there or we're reporting you!" yelled Mr. Yukiro, the next door neighbour, pounding at the front gate of the masionette.
Ochika had decided to shift homes for fear that Mia Campbell might find them along with Athrun.
The former Justice pilot had moved in with them now to be with Cagalli and to look after her as well. His freak of a father was probably searching the town and entire state for him along with Mia Campbell, and Athrun was fully aware that if his father
suceeded in finding him, he'd be dead meat.
"You just shut up, and mind your own beeswax! They poor guy hasn't done anything to you!" bellowed Ochika, pushing back the curtains of the window and giving Mr. Yukiro an earful.
"I don't think that alien is a poor thing at all! It's probably some trecherous kind of creature!" Mr. Yukiro hollered back, giving Ochika the impression that he was totally insensitive by his use of insulting words.
"Daddy, stop it. You're disturbing the other neighbours, just leave them alone." said Mr. Yukiro's 16 year old daughter, Mika.
"Shut up and go away, you insensitive wart! How could you call a human being, who has feelings as well, an ALIEN and a TRECHEROUS CREATURE! Athrun's fully human!" exclaimed Ochika, her face turning a boiled colour as she glared angrily at her neighbour.
"I don't quite think so you, bimbo! That person is probably some mutilated human, which makes him an ALIEN!" yelled Mr. Yukiro, sticking out his tongue at Ochika, who was appalled at his words.
"If I can't express and prove to you verbally that Athrun's a normal human being like you and I, I'll just have to show you, you insensitive wart! Since you have got that 'Seeing is believing" way of thinking!" spat Ochika, turning around and coming back a few seconds later, dragging a protesting Athrun by the arm and pushing him in the face of the window.
"Aha, see! He's perfectly normal, not disfigured or mutilated! So what if he's a co-ordinator, he's still human! And if you've noticed, though I doubt you have, he's got a charmingly handsome face!" exclaimed Ochika, pointing at Athrun's face.
Mr. Yukiro didn't seem to give a damn what Athrun was or what he looked like, but Mika had certainly noticed Athrun's good looks.
The girl couldn't help but pretend to look away, before feeling a hot rush of blood hit her cheeks.
Athrun managed to slip out of Ochika's grasp and return to the safety and comfort of his room.
Cagalli meanwhile, was trying desperately to get back to sleep after the early morning din that Mr. Yukiro was making woke her up.
Finally, the blonde girl lost her patience and she got out of bed, burst out of her room, and trudged down the stairs. Cagalli let out a yell of frustration before grabbing a can of whipped cream from the kitchen counter, walking up to the window, gently shoving her mother aside, before spraying Mr. Yukiro's face with whipped cream.
"Shut up you asshole! Can't I get some sleep without you hollering away about your complaints, threats and opinions!" asked Cagalli heatedly, before slamming the cream can back on the kitchen counter and storming off back to her room.
The blonde girl's Siberian husky puppy, Holly, was now no longer a puppy, but a juvenile dog. She had doubled almost her original size, and was now three quarters the size of what she would be when she reached adulthood.
Cagalli slumped down on her bed and grabbed a brush, for a dog's fur from her bedside table and began brushing Holly's white fur, which had distinct grey patches on it.
The juvenile dog remained still, closing her eyes every now and then as though enjoying her grooming session.
Cagalli heard her foster mother storm back into the kitchen on the lower floor of the masionette.
There was a light knock on the door, and when Cagalli looked up she was greeted by someone pouncing on her, knocking her backwards on her queen sized bed.
Cagalli didn't have to look to guess who it was, she could very well tell by the person's distinct scent that it was Athrun. It was oh so obvious.
"Stop it! It tickles!" squealed Cagalli laughing gaily, as Athrun showered her with kisses, trailing from her cheek down to the nape of her neck.
The blonde girl's laughter was drowned when her lips met with the blue-haired co-ordinator's, his tongue slipping eagerly into her mouth.
Cagalli broke away from the kiss, panting for air. She could feel Athrun's bodyweight pressing lightly onto her stomach.
The former justice pilot had busied himself by nuzzling the blonde girl gently on the face and neck, and was licking and gently biting her from time to time.
"Athrun, stop it! You know my mother will hang the both of us if she catches us doing 'you know what' redhanded!" barked Cagalli sternly, using both arms to gently shove Athrun off her.
Holly barked in agreement, sitting down on the tiled flooring and wagging her tail from side to side.
"Tell me Holly knows the rules in this household better than you do?" asked Cagalli, raising a questioning eyebrow at Athrun, who merely pouted for a moment.
"Are you comparing my intelligence with that of a dog's?" questioned Athrun, sitting upright and looking at Cagalli, eagerly waiting for an answer.
"No, I'm not, but you should know better than to try your luck now." retorted Cagalli sternly, patting the bed as a signal to Holly for her to jump up on it beside her and Athrun.
"It's been a long time since I tasted you," whined Athrun pathetically, falling back on the bed once more and staring up at the ceiling.
"Athrun! You sick and horny bastard!" yelled Cagalli, taking her pillow and whacking him hard, leaving the pillow lying on his face.
"I'm a guy, what can I do?" asked Athrun bluntly, throwing a rubber ball for Holly to fetch.
"The least you can do, is to keep your comments, horny thoughts and feelings, to yourself!" exclaimed Cagalli getting up, and pulling the blue-haired co-ordinator to his feet as well.
Holly came back with the ball in her mouth, and Cagalli took it from her and placed it back on her shelf.
The couple jogged down the stairs for breakfast, which was waiting for them on the dining table.
Holly followed along behind, but knew better than to attack the food on the table or she'd get chased out into the balcony by Ochika.
"Good morning, my dears. Come on, tuck in, breakfast is getting cold. Mr. Yukiro is really getting on my nerves, I think we may have to move again." sighed Ochika, joining the duo at the table.
Cagalli quickly swallowed a mouthful of eggs and bacon to protest, "No, don't! I've been taken away from the one I love before, I don't want her to feel that way if we move!"
"Who's the 'her'?" asked Ochika curiously, since the opnly girl besides herself was Cagalli, and it would totally illogical for Cagalli to say something like that about herself.
"Holly," said Cagalli, smiling widely at her mother, who looked sort of puzzled and confused.
"Why would Holly, feel heartbroken? She isn't in love," retorted Ochika, putting on a weird expression and making Athrun and Cagalli giggle.
"I thought you'd have noticed by now. She's been hanging around Mac, and I recently borrowed some books on dogs, and I think he's courting her." replied Cagalli sweetly.
"Who's Mac?" asked Athrun and Ochika at the same time, out of a pure coincidence.
Cagalli sighed and shook her head, "Mr. Yukiro's 3 year old Siberian husky! Mother, we've been living here for 2 years!"
"Oh! Who said she could even go near that man's house, let alone hang out with his dog!" exclaimed Ochika hotly.
"Mother, it's really no harm," said Cagalli bluntly, cutting up her second sunny-side-up egg into quarters.
"One dog's enough, I don't want 4 or 5 more," warned Ochika knowingly.
"Holly's not old enough yet, it's just puppy-love between her and Mac." reassured Cagalli smartly.
"Talking about 2 years, we've been living here 2 years and there's been no news of Mia and my father." said Athrun, grinning widely at the thought.
"Hopefully, it'll stay that way. The only problem we have now is Mr. Yukiro, who's such a thorn in the side!" remarked Ochika, shaking her head disapprovingly.
"You bet! He wakes me up earlier than I plan to, every morning! I need my beauty sleep you know," complained Cagalli, purisng her lips.
"You're beautiful enough, honey, I'm sure Athrun thinks so. Or he wouldn't love you this much." said Ochika smiling widely at Athrun.
"You bet, she's pretty enough already. I'd probably faint on the wedding day," said Athrun jokingly, wiping his mouth with a kitchen towel.
"Oh yes, before I forget, we've got guests coming over for lunch. They're old friends of ours, and Athrun you might know two of them." said Ochika grinning sweetly at the charming young man, before taking her plate and clearing Athrun and Cagalli's as well.
"Who?" asked Cagalli curiously, wondering who her mother was inviting over for the first time in two years.
"Dearka, Kira and Miriallia." replied Ochika, as she walked off into the kitchen to do the washing.
Cagalli nearly choked on her orange juice, "D-Dearka Elthman? That nutty guy? Who wanted to glue me back piece by piece!"
"Bingo!" called Ochika from the kitchen.
Cagalli slumped her head onto the table, banging it from time to time until Athrun stopped her.
The blue-haired co-ordinator was laughing as well, he'd heard a lot about Dearka from Cagalli, and couldn't help but laugh as he thought of meeting him for the first time.
But what really brightened up Athrun's mood, was that he was finally going to be able to see Kira again, his best friend from childhood.
A/N Ok, this first chapter was rather chipry and bright, but this fic will get darker with each chapter. Well, not too dark, but darker, yeah. So how will the meeting between old friends go? Find out in the next chapter! Pls review!
