I think the war ended somewhere C.E 72. I'm too lazy to check now. Kiras name came from Milisante thank you for some inspiring. Xmas is coming and that means holidays. I hope it also means updates. And yes they did let Kira go a little too easely but i'm lazy writing up long dialogues when they end about the same way. I'm too practical for that. Well enjoy now for this little I have for you.


Cosmic Era 73

Kira. now using the name Keith, woke from yet another dream of the war. He went to the personal bathroom he had as the caretaker of the orphanage. No need for the lights anymore. His eyes were closed remember? Another glass of water to replace the drops he had sweated to his sheets.

The nightmares hadn't stopped but after a while he had started to tolerate them. He was the Ultimate Coordinator after all. He could tolerate anything.

But sometimes he wished he could just walk around with his eyes open. To truly see everything around him. But it was for the sake of all those things that he kept them closed. Sometimes he thought he was selfish, he didn't want them to hate him so he lied to them.

The orphanage was outside the town and every other day he went to there with the kids to do shopping and other business. He actually managed to keep the kids safe near him pretty well when, to the kinds and to everybody else, he was namely blind. So no problem with that.

Even though he'd woken up at 6, he decided to wake up. After a shower he was standing in front of a mirror. He prepared himself and opened them. Every morning he did the same and, like then, was disappointed. Light didn't reflect from his eyes. Corpse, he thought, a corpse.

He went to make breakfast for everyone.

At Orb.

Cagalli, Athrun, Lacus and people from the Archangel were at the beach house. A nice dinner took place there but it was clear even for an outsider that someone was missing from the group. They felt it themselves too.

"Say people, why don't we call Kira?" Athrun said, slightly drunk. The get together was because Cagalli and Athrun (or Alex) were going to the plants to meet chairman Dullindal at the next day.

Others nodded. They hadn't heard about him lately. An untraceable connection was made and soon at Kiras house the phone rang. It was morning there. Kira answered with curious voice. He didn't know who it was.

"Hello?"

"Kira! Is that how you greet your war pals and sister?" Came a loud shout with lots of background noise. Kira wasn't entirely sure that there was anyone relatively sober among them. Well, except the kids but that didn't count. They were sleeping.

"Yes it is if you guys behave like this." Kira was rather surprised from the call. It was the first for 2 moths.

"Aww, you just missed us. I know that you are really glad that we called you…. So how is it going there?"

"Here's going great. I can't thank you enough for the preparations, Cagalli. The townspeople are a little sceptical about how a blind guy can raise kids but I'll manage. Now to my question, then. WHY THE HELL ARE CAGALLI AND ATHRUN DRINKING WHEN THEY HAVE TO GO TO THE PLANTS TOMORROW????????!!!!!!!!!"

Orb side of the line covered their ears.

"Don't yell dammit. I know that I have to be there tomorrow and I'll be fine." Cagalli was irritated... so to say.

Kira sniggered at the other end. "Yea right you two. No go to bed because I don't want to hear that some nation will have weapons just 'cause you had a hangover at the negotiations."

"Ur cruuueeell" Was herd accompanied by a loud yawn. " Oh shut up all of you and go to sleep. The kids here are waking so I'll go now. See ya."

"G'night Kiiirraaaa……..snore"

A wide smile on his face, Kira erased the call from the files and went to wake the kids.


You see so rarely actual drunkness so... hah couldn't resist. And Kira lives somewhere far away. The time difference ya'know.

Throw me a review.
