A/N- Here's the second chapter! Don't worry. This fic isn't like the other high school fics. High school is needed for this fic. Thanks for reading!
Disclaimer: Do not own Gundam Seed…16-year old Cagalli was snoring along in her bed, until…
"Cagalli! SCHOOL!" Came the booming voice of her brother, Kira Yamato. They discovered that Kira was her brother when Cagalli was 13. She had kidney failure and needed a transplant. Kira, who was an orphan, had discovered that he and Cagalli had the same blood type, a rare one. Uzumi demanded a DNA check after Cagalli had a transplant. Once he had gotten the results, he adopted the brunette.
"5 more minutes…" The blonde moaned, wearing a pillow on her head. The door slammed open.
"Come on! Father lost his voice today, so he wouldn't get you." The brunette explained. Usually, her father would yank her out of bed.
Cagalli groaned and threw the pillow at her annoying sibling. Kira closed the door. The pillow slammed against wood.
"Ha! You miss-" Another pillow plummeted on his face. "Ok, fine! Be late for the first day of school!" Kira huffed and slammed the door.
"First day of school?" Cagalli shot up from her bed and ran into her closet. She grabbed a red t-shirt and khaki pants. She yanked off her pajamas and crawled into her clothes.
The blonde ran downstairs, grabbed toast and ran out the door. Kira walked over to the toaster, to discover that his toast has disappeared. He sighed and grabbed an apple from a smiling maid. The violet-eyed teen thanked her. He grabbed his skateboard and walked out the door.
Athrun winced when a whip came down on him.
"You dumb ass creature! You're supposed to be a smart alec! How dare you claw at the daughter of the mayor!" The sickly voice of Rau Le Cruset scolded.
Once Athrun was bruised and bled enough to Rau's satisfaction, he left. The blue-haired teenager escaped the binds…once more. He truly wanted to escape, but to who? Not even his own father cares. Even if he escapes to no one, he would either starve (Although stealing might be an option, but the police would get him) or freeze to death.
Suddenly, a memory of amber eyes flickered through his mind. Her
"The only one that bothers to care." He muttered. The emerald-eyed half human snuck towards the door, to find that it was locked, due to Rau's forgetfulness when angered. Athrun creaked open the door and sprinted through it, despite the throbbing pain in his legs. Hiss running was too fast for the guard to notice. The wolf genes mixed with the serum causes him to be faster then the average experiment.
He followed the fading scent of "The stupid human."
Cagalli continued to run and look at her watch. Ten minutes till the bell rings! Unfortunately, she missed the school bus and her bike was being repaired. 9 minutes and 12 seconds left! Yes, she was over exaggerating, but from home to school was took nearly 20 minutes on foot!
"Seeya at school lil' sister!" Came the voice of her brother. She looked to her right to see Kira skateboarding.
"KIRA!" She shrieked, as her brother grinned at her and skated ahead.
Suddenly she remembered that there was a shortcut. Lacus, her pink haired friend had showed her on the way home last year. She looked to her left to see a familiar alleyway. That was the shortcut! She grinned and walked into the darkness…
Cagalli jumped when she heard a rustle behind a dumpster. A rancid smell suddenly invaded her nostrils. Her nose wrinkled up and she made a gagging face.
"Hey cutie." A masculine voice said. Cagalli spun around to gaze upon a handsome young man, around 18, with a bunch of smirking teens behind him. Basically, he was going to be trouble.
"What do you want?" Cagalli demanded, her voice weak.
"How about you find out?" He smirked and advanced on her. She kicked him in the shins with her fists clenched.
"Don't touch me!" She scowled.
The man scowled and signaled his gang to advance on her. Cagalli, a black belt, positioned herself for the ruffians.
"Oh, the wittle girl is acting tough." The leader mocked. The gang was getting closer.
"But we can also be tough, huh boys?" The leader smirked. On cue, the others took out sharp knives. They ran towards her. Cagalli took this moment to stare at her watch. 5 minutes!
She launched a kick at a teenaged guy who was too close for comfort. He fell back and crashed into two other guys. Cagalli ducked when a guy was about to stab her. She grabbed his arm and twisted it behind him. The tomboy kicked him into some incoming teens. She ducked from a punch and did a 180-degree low kick. The guy tripped over and fell into some trashcans.
Cagalli was panting. It seems as though that there were an unlimited number of gang members! She was getting tired and that was not a good sign.
The gang leader signaled 3 men to take her down while she was tired. He plastered on a big smirk.
Cagalli groaned when she was kicked to the floor. She had more kicks coming her way, from the vengeful people. The guy that she had tripped into the trashcans had renege by cutting slits everywhere, leaving the killing for the leader. The blonde tried to get up, but her heavy injuries held her down.
She managed a weak, "Help."
"Help? Now who would help you? You're in a dark alley." He smirked.
Cagalli closed her eyes as the gang leader help up a sharp steel knife over her.
"Father…Kira…" A tear slipped from her eyes.
The blonde's eyes shot open when she heard a crash. Her amber eyes diverted to the noise to see the leader lying in a pile of trash bags.
"Who was that?" The leader demanded, scowling. He stood up to examine each person, with a small flashlight. His eyes landed on an emerald glint when his flashlight landed on that person's face. "Who the hell are you?"
"None of your concerns." Cagalli's savior replied, coldly.
"Get him boys." The leader growled, picking up his dropped knife. He joined his group in attacking this stranger.
Cagalli's visions suddenly turned blurry while the stranger defended himself. Everything turned completely black, because of the lack of blood.
"Hn. That'll take care of them. Athrun muttered, while licking his claws clean. Maybe he shouldn't have killed them. "What's done is done." He grabbed one of their hats to hide his ears. He wouldn't want to stick out like a sore thumb. When he finished adjusting his hat, he glared down at the unconscious girl. The blue-haired teen picked her up and hung her over his shoulder. He leaped towards the place where her scent is strongest…. Her home.
"Yes?" A butler opened the door to stare into the face of evil. A blue haired teenager? With lady Cagalli over his shoulder?
"This way, mister." The butler allowed the teen in. The blue-haired teen walked in and dumped Cagalli onto the couch. Uzumi walked over with an medical kit and a…calm look? Obviously, the butler told him about…Cagalli and the stranger.
"Why aren't you worrying or panicking? You're her father, right?" The emerald-eyed teen asked, clearly surprised to see such reaction.
"Yes, Cagalli gets in trouble a lot. Once she came back with a broken leg." Uzumi answered as he cleaned Cagalli's wounds and wrapped them up. He ignored the chatters from the maids and servants that were walking by. Again, their little lady had gotten in trouble. He spread some ointment on her bruises. "Now, can you tell me what happened? And also, what is your name, lad?"
"Your daughter was cornered by a gang. She was about to be stabbed, but I stopped it." The teen answered, being vague.
"So what else happened? You're leaving something out." The older man asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You humans can't get enough of everything." He muttered as he adjusted his hat.
"Humans?" Uzumi asked, peering at the emerald-eyed teen's unusually long and sharp nails. They seem like claws…
"Dumb humans." He scoffed. "I'm going to spare you, because your daughter has done me a…small favor."
"Spare me? Favor?" Uzumi gave him a questioning look.
The teen sighed and lifted off his hat. Uzumi's eyes widened, as he stared the blue and furry ears.
"What are you?" The man asked.
"AZ41." The emerald-eyed teen stated. The Attha king's photographic memory clicked on. The door labeled AZ41!
"The failed experiment?" Uzumi gaped at him.
"Hn. I thought you should've forgotten by now." The boy scoffed. "And I'm not failed."
Uzumi chuckled and asked, "So, what's your name, lad?"
"Athrun Zala."
