Author's Note:
Hiya! This is –again- your favorite authoress who is obsessed with another sequel of one of her 'well-acclaimed' works entitled 'Confession Time'. Again, I am sorry for this very late update. You must understand that school is tough. Well, I hope you guys are ready for this chapter!
Beta's Note:
I advise the readers to read the prequel of this story, 'Confession Time', which was done by my burd-I mean, friend nareiya. It would greatly help you understand the events leading to this sequel.
Note: bold and italicized words are lyrics from a OPM song this time! The one who identifies it gets a prize! Italicized words are thoughts.
Disclaimer: I do not own GS or GSD. (rheii: If she did, Fllay would have fallen into a bottomless pit right in the beginning of the gs series, Meer would have been burnt alive like in the Witches' Trial (so fitting) , and Meyrin would have already been left in a deserted island that was full of piranhas and carnivorous dinosaurs. No, worse.)

Chapter Two
--
Lacus Clyne, known for her calm yet cheerful personality, finally noticed the expression plastered on the face of her sister-in-law. Her eyebrow arched, inquiringly. "Something wrong, dear?"
She looked at Lacus. Why was her heart beating faster than usual? Everything seemed perfectly fine. She glanced at the window, only to see…nothing.
What's wrong with me?
She peered on that window more closely this time, and her breathing stopped. She looked away, her face turning darker than the shade of the songstress' hair, wincing.
No…it can't be…
Just
when I thought of love is here to stay
Just when I thought you
never ever go away
"Is something wrong?"
Cagalli turned to Lacus, shaking her head.
"No…everything's perfectly fine." Not.
Seeing that things were back to normal, Lacus held Cagalli's hand tightly. "Let's join our friends now, Cagalli."
She nodded in response, inwardly pondering.
After all, she wasn't sure if she was ready to meet him once more.
You
said it's time for you to go
But I'm not sure I really know
why you are leaving
--
His eyebrows twitched due to irritation. "Uh…Dearka?" he called out his friend's name for the umpteenth time. Alas, it seems that Dearka's left ear was not working at all!
And worse, just as he was about to get some progress on his unfortunate situation, a godforsaken couple barged in and made themselves comfortable at his table!
And
when we finally said our last goodbye
I'll never make it hard
for you
You won't even see me cry
Great… He muttered to himself, I badly wanted to talk with him about my big problem but no! An idiotic engineer/computer repair man/lucky git who married the songstress entered the scene! Oh God, help me here!
Athrun cocked his head to the side and sighed deeply. Did he make the wrong decision of meeting Dearka today? Surely, God won't reign any blessings from him now on.
He closed his tired eyes a bit, as to signify resignation. Then, he opened it, wishing for some miracle to appear to him.
Needless to say, the sight that greeted him did not leave him wanting.
Am I dreaming?
And
thought the tears inside of me
I'm gonna make your heart go
free
He resisted the urge to bang his head on the table. This wasn't the miracle he wanted! If they met now, then his future would surely be shattered!
"Dearka! I, um…need to go to the comfort room!" he headed off to the opposite direction.
Dearka had an odd stare towards Athrun's direction. "Okay, that's strange…" he shook his head, trying to forget the strange scene. "Anyway, what were you saying?"
"Kira!"
Kira's head turned to the direction of the loud voice, only to find his wife and his sister.
He gestured for them to come and sit with them. "Dearka, this is my wife, Lacus," he gestured to his wife and she smiled genuinely. "And this is my sister, Cagalli." Cagalli only nodded in acknowledgement.
Dearka shook the ladies' hands like a true playboy. "I'm Dearka." He said proudly. "My friend who just left is Athrun."
Kira's wife suddenly became hyper as she heard the man's name. She elbowed him, hard. "He's the guy, right Kira?" Her head turned to her husband's side and he smiled at her fondly.
"Where is he?"
Dearka feigned a sigh, along with his customary headshake. "Unfortunately, he is in the co—"
"Guys, I want to go to the comfort room now. Bye!" Cagalli quickly said, already heading off to the exit.
Lacus didn't mind at all but Kira was surprised with her sudden expression. He wasn't used to this side of Cagalli at all.
"Lacus, is the comfort room near the exit?" She ignored him.
--
Nice!
Things were very cliché for her today. In fact, too cliché. First of all, she just had it with a priest, then now, the guy is in the same place with her! But of course, she won't let that happen. She wouldn't let this little secret of theirs be discovered by their friends nor by her brother at all.
Why? Well, because if anyone would get hold of this information, who knows what might happen to the guy? Moreover, what will happen to her? Wouldn't her ass get stuck?
Of course, being a smart aleck, she knows that. The only plausible option is to escape. Besides, it wasn't just for her. It's also for the priest.
"Gosh…" She whispered, loud enough for only herself to hear.
She took out a packet of cigarettes inside the pocket of her jeans and lighted a cigarette as she went to a small alley.
"I hope this works." She blew some of the smoke. "God…this really calms me down…" she inhaled some of it again as she rested her head on the wall of the building.
--
Calm down!
He closed his eyes shut. "Lord," he murmured, "Guide me…" he did the sign of the cross and stepped on the toilet, peeking outside the window of the comfort room. No one was there. Satisfied, he slowly climbed out of the small window.
And, as fate would always have it, something unexpected came his way.
Hard.
--
"Mommy!" the twins chimed together, "We want some ice cream!"
They begged. And begged. AND begged. Sadly, Lacus was too busy thinking about her blue-haired hottie.
Why oh why was her hero taking so much time in the comfort room?
Anyway, she shoved her hand inside her purse and searched for her wallet. Finding it, she threw it outside and the twins, like the little devils they were, ran after it.
She smirked and laughed diabolically inside her head, ignoring the twitching (and obviously scared) men behind her.
--
The sight of the alley itself was just…dark. It wasn't scary at all. It was just…dark.
Get it together, Athrun!
Before
you leave there's just one thing
that I want you to know
The young priest wasn't scared of this place. Why? Well, priests battle evil and unwanted spirits so he was already used to this type of environment. But now, his eyes were larger than dinner plates because of one familiar blonde girl. And the girl wasn't that scary, but pretty. Beautiful, in fact.
You just can't contest the fact that he was shocked to see her.
"You!" he was still agape, "What are you doing here?" He pointed an accusing finger at the innocent angel whom he had it before.
She threw her cigarette, not minding if it were to land elsewhere; she had a defiant look plastered on her face. "Shouldn't I be the one asking that, father?" she said the word 'father' in a teasing manner. "Aren't you supposed to be praying for the salvation of all humanity? Or maybe…" She smiled maliciously, although not really meaning it. "You want another round with me?"
I
still believe in loving you
In spite of all the hurt that I'm
going through
He flustered. What the heck is she talking about? Yes…I know she's great and all and I'd do anything to get ano—Wait a minute?! What am I thinking? I must not fall prey to her!
He cleared his throat, trying to buy some time to think of what he was going to say to her and to be able to sum up some courage in his little ordeal. "Why would I want to be around sluts that sell their souls for money? You're pathetic. Get out of my way!"
She almost fell on her knees as she heard him say the words slut and outcast. It really hurt her. It wasn't her fault. She didn't choose to be like that at all, only out of necessity. Her family was in great need of money that time and there was no other choice except to sell herself, even if she lost her dignity as a woman.
She felt tears welling her eyes, but she held them back. It wasn't the right time for her to shed tears. Really, what was happening to her? She never cried. How come this man who was just recently thrown into her life was making her long-hid emotions to come out so violently? He was really something or so to say.
"You don't have any right to judge a person even if you are a priest. No one deserves the right to judge and criticize others for what they see on the exterior." She turned around and ran away.
Then a cold wind rushed in the alley, leaving the priest to think about the things that he had just said to the poor girl.
She was right. She's not pathetic…I am.
--
To be known as the international icon of the ultimate sex guru, Dearka was given the hardest burden of all. That is to give advice to his clients and it should help them or else….well, we'll get to know that when the right time comes.
As of now, Dearka was getting impatient of waiting for his goody-goody priest friend (who is his client, by the way) and the sister of his friend. Waiting wasn't one of his specialties, mind you.
He decided to give them more time but it seems that they won't show up anymore.
He stood up, heavily sighing, "I'll just go to the comfort room."
"…right…" his brunette-haired friend didn't pay much attention to what he said because he was busy reasoning with his wife about being evil and a saint to their kids.
He went to the counter and gazed at the personnel, "Miss, do you have any back door?"
She nodded, "Yeah. It's at the back."
--
She kept on running, not minding where she was exactly heading. It didn't matter to her anymore. What was the point, really? She has no present, no future… no identity. What was the point of living anymore?
Mother was right….no, all of them were right! They always told me that I'm stupid and I am really. I was always just too stubborn to admit that fact.
The cold wind waltzed in her path but that wasn't enough to make her stop running. She stopped for awhile and looked around. She wasn't familiar with this place at all. She slowly backed away, only for someone to grab her from behind and cover her mouth with a handkerchief.
"HELP!"
No one heard her.
Even
if again and again you would break my heart
One thing would never
change
--
She is right…no one deserves to judge people…I think I should apologize to her…
He looked around but there was no sight of her.
"Where is she?" He then noticed that there were some footsteps still imprinted on the snow.
So that's where she went…
"HELP!"
He heard a scream, just like before. He hurriedly followed the footsteps, not thinking of what is bound to happen to him.
--
"HELP!"
The supreme icon of the sex guru heard that scream also. He hastily followed the voice due to one reason.
It came from a very sexy voice.
--
The young priest's eyes widen as he saw the most unexpected person he ever imagined who would turn out to be the victim—Cagalli—the girl who had driven him out to insanity due to that special treatment.
In spite of that, he didn't have any second thought of beating the goon that was currently trying to make love with his so-called angel.
"Are you alright?" she was on his arms, resting, catching her breath.
It was his entire fault. If he hadn't told her all of those cruel things to her, she wouldn't be like this in the first place.
As he caressed her angelic face, her eyes slowly closed and this was enough to send him to an idiotic phase.
Now…what should I do?
He had thought of no other solution but just to close the gap between them, entering a lustful kiss that would seem to last for an eternity but it was stopped by a soft applause. He looked up and he was left open-mouthed.
I still believe in loving you.
"Bravo, father. I didn't know that the kiss of life is included in the seven sacraments."
Oh fuck!

Author's Note:
Phew! Now, I would like to acknowledge rheii, in this chapter. BTW, rheii, I haven't placed the thing you suggested last night because I'm sleepy now... Okay, so, please don't forget to push the button down there and state your reviews, wild reactions and profanities…
Writing the next chapter, Nareiya…and possibly…rheii…yes, maybe her again…

Next Chapter:
Athrun's priesthood is now in danger due to that 'kiss of life'. Would that scenario be enough for him to start anew with his dear, 'angelic wife'?
