(Let me get you a little preview of what happened before where I am now.)

"Kira! Where are the Keys! KIRA!" Cagalli charged down the stairs, stomping her feet on every stepto make it clear that she was angry. As if it wasn't already clear enough. "I can't belive you don't know where the ckeys for your own car is! Damn you!" Kira sighed and stepped out of the way as Cagalli charged at him.

Lacus, as if on cue, came down the stairs with the keys for her own car. "We'll take my car then. I'll drive." Kira smiled and nodded, greating her with his hand held out as she walked down the stairs. Cagalli sighed, giving in to her tickle of asmile.

The three of them walked down even more stairs to come until they finally reached the bottom and climbed into the car. It was dark, but the ride was smooth. But then light flashed, and all went dark...

I sighed as Kira stared at me. "What is it now, Kira?" A little startled by my sudden voice through the silence, he looked at me with a puzzled expression in his eyes.

"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking." He looked away a bit distantly.

"About Lacus again, right? Kira, she's fine. The doctors said that she didn't suffer the worst in the accident. She's lucky." Kira shook his head.

"I'd do anything to replace her in that accident. We're the ones that were lucky. I knew it wasn't safe to drive where this war is still going on." I got up and sat next to him, patting him on his head in a silent gesture of, 'don't blame yourself.' He stayed still, the only evidense that he was alive was his smooth breathing. I noticed the touch of frusteration in her figure. "Though, i guess I am getting to conclusions. Besides, the doctors still have to get us the details."

I nodded and noticed out of the corner of my eye that, on cue, one of the nurses that had taken Lacus in was coming our way. "Kira, she's coming. Sit up." Kira obeyed, but stood up as he did so. He started making his was to the nurse, so i followed after. The nurse's expression was unoticable, as if she was hiding something from us. That wasn't a good sign."Um-" I started, only to be interupted by Kira's dark voice. No girl could compete with the tone in his voice at that moment. After all, his girl was in trouble, and he didn't know exactly how much trouble. Yet.

"Where is she? Tell me all the details. Has she woken yet? Is she in pain? What is her condition? When is she coming out?" The nurse held her posture and waited until he'd calmed down. Kira's eyes changed suddenly to pure worry. "I need to know! Why isn't she out here with you! Where is Lacus!" I walked up to put a comforting hand on his shoulder. After all, i was about the only family he had that he could count on through these times. I looked over to his hidden face and saw tears slide off one by one as his hands tightened to fists.

"Shh." I told him, "It's ok, Kira, You don't know yet. Don't worry. Lacus will be fine." I turned my gaze over to the nurse. "Right? Lacus is fine, right?" The nurse was silent for a few moments. But then quickly remembered what she had come there to do.

"Miss. Clyne is availabe for you to see. It is not within my bounds to speak to you any of the details. Other than that, follow me and I will show her to you." I nodded, my arm still around Kira's back. He gentley removed my hands and regained his posture.

"Thank you. But please, could we not waste too much time? I told her i'd be there for her. She's been waiting, and expects me." The nurse nodded and walked at a fast rate, followed imediately by Kira and then me. Even thuogh we were already going quite fast, Kira looked to be immpatient. We turned corner, went around loops, ran stairs, and took even more turns until finally we made it. The nurse stopped in front of one room and knocked on the door. Kira ignored it and pushed her aside to open the door. The nurse tried to stop him, but noticed his determination and didn't think it was worth the risk.

"Lacus!" he called right after barging in. I followed right after, about to scold Kira for not thinking strait, but paused. On the bed in front of Kira lay Lacus in her beauty sleep. Though, there were wirse, cables, everything everywhere plugging in and through all over her. Her head was covered in badages all over accept for her face, which seemed to be the only thing was had gone untouched. I looked to see her face wince every now and then from the pain. It was such a gut wrenching site, i almost ran up and hugged her. But after a few moments I noticed Kira kneeled down next to her bed sobbing with her hand in his. He kissed her over and over in her palm and stroked the fragile red dyed skin gentley. "I'm so sorry," Kira managed through tears "I'm so sorry!" I flinched at the sight and looked away. I felt out of place, but knew that Kira needed someone more than anything right then to tell him it was alright.

Before I could do anything, though, Lacus's over overpowering blue eyes shown open slowly. She noticed Kira's sobbing and, with whatever strength she had there, squeezed back in appreciation. Kira looked up, her face soaked with tears. His lips trembled as he held her hand on his cheek. "Kira..." She said softly, in a whisper I was hardly able to hear. "Don't...say that..." Kira squeezed his eyes shut. "Don't...be sorry... Kira, look at me, please..." He opened his eyes to gaze at her perfect face. It roamed down to see all the bandages, to see her pain. He started sobbing once again, but made sure to keep his eyes locked on hers.

Through the silence, i noticed that the nurse had left. I guess it would be better if I were to leave too. I didn't want to get in the way of the two, from experience. I knew how me and Athrun would've wanted the same. But when I made my way to leaved, Kira clutched the bottom of my shirt without looking away from Lacus. "Stay." Was all he said. At first puzzled, I froze in spot. His hand pulled me closer and I understood what he meant. He didn't want me to miss a single word. i gentley took his hand from my shirt to reasure him that i'd stay.

Lacus smiled, a little tear escaping her face. Her eyes closed, but she stayed awake. "The doctors... told me nothing... but one...thing..." She said through breaths. She turned her face to Kira and forced her eyes to open again. "Kira...I love you..." Kira nodded and held her hand gentley now.

"I know." He answered, placing his other hand on her cheek. "I love you too, Lacus." I felt a tear trickled down my own cheek. It felt so out of place, that one tear. I wiped it off and sniffled. Of course they loved each other, it was so obvious in the way they looked at each other. I suddenly really missed Athrun at that moment. My gaze rose when Lacus started speaking again.

"I want you to make me a promise... Kira..." Kira nodded against her hand, kissing her fingers. "If i... don't make it out of here-"

"You will." Answered Kira with a strait face. "You have to, Lacus. I need you. You're the princess, your people need you. You wilI make it out of here, Lacus. You will." Lacus's tears grew more and more as she tightened her fingers around his big hands.

"No," She closed her eyes and repeated, "No."

"You don't know that..." Kira said in a small, desperate voice.

"Kira... they told me... the doctors told me... it's the only way, Kira. Kira, please, understand...!" I wiped the tears that flowed so freely out of my eyes, and noticed Lacus's grip was dissolving. Her face seemed more pale than it was before I'd walked in. Pain was evident in her eyes, behind the tears of longing. The blue in her eyes dissapeared and as she reached out blindly for Kira's face. "Kira, I'm dying. Please, Kira, don't cry. Kira, your tears hurt my heart. Please, don't cry over me. It hurts... Kira, please..."

I left the room, my hand covering my eyes. I couldn't bear to watch any more.
