Chapter Two : The Beginning of Ghost Hunter.
10 Years later, late January 5pm, Archangel High School.
In the hallway there was a blonde girl which has a pair of beautiful amber eyes, whose were running like a mad girl. She wears a red ribbon which shows that she is on first year, first year students need to wear red ribbons for the girls while for boys they need wear red long tie. For the second year they will wear blue ribbon for girls and for boys blue tie. For the third year, they will wear a black ribbon for girl's and boy's black tie. Even though that girl hate skirt but she loves wearing skirts as school uniform, for her the school uniform so lovely even a tomboy like her had to admit that it's such a waste to NOT wearing skirts as school uniform. It is not so short like the school cheerleaders which their underwear can be seen; sometimes they not wear one just to lure any hormone guys to attract their attention that they are the sexiest "women" in the school. Such whore, in that blonde thought, or too long like sweeping the floor.
While the blonde girl dash to the school swimming pool area, there were a bunch of cheerleaders who just finished their practice are on her way, which cause the big bang.
"HEY! Watch where were you going you FREAK ghost hunter, "scream the fake pink hair girl with that so "innocent" baby blue eye who is now her ass in the dirt.
Cagalli just keep on running, she just don't care even that "pink" princess is on injured or something, because the boys or the cheerleader gang will give any of their hands to help her.
"MIA, are you okay darling? That weird ghost hunter just so damn rude, that is why not a single guy in this school like to hang out with her or even better be her friend. Ooopppp!"Said the one of the cheerleading squad while covering her mouth after realizing her mistake. That is what happened when spoke without thinking
"Yeah that's right Ooopppsss to you too my "darling", there was a boy is her best friend. The hot and popular guy in the school which only he that is not in me.I hate her so much that she steal that only guy for me to keep all to herself which is not fair at all," said that pink hair girl in furious while extended her hand to be pulled out from that dirty dirt.
Cagalli keep on running even she is on the school swimming area she still keep on running until she reach the swimming pool side.
"ATHRUN! I know you can hear me, can you stop swim now?"Asked Cagalli in a high pitch tone of her while walk fast, because Athrun currently is in the pool and he still in swimming practice.
Athrun whose was hearing that high pitch voice of Cagalli called his name out loud, just keep on swimming because he knows Cagalli best from any person in this world. He loves piss Cagalli off.
"Hey you weird ghost hunter girl stay away from our precious prince!" screamed a bunch of girls which better known as Athrun fan club which annoyed Cagalli the most among other things.
"You all fan girls, he is my best friend. So it is up to me to do whatever I want to do, there're not any law of prohibition for me to near yours "precious Athrun!"Reply Cagalli in an irritated tone of hers.
Athrun who's heard that awful nickname that all his fans address to his best friend, stop swimming and climb up and walk near Cagalli, which drive all the fan girls crazy because of his half naked body which covered with water drip from his body. That is so damn HOT, to NOT being missed by any girls.
"I will be appreciating if all of you girls don't address my friend that awful name. She may be a little weird with her hobby, but she is my important people in my life, so can you girls are kindly being nice to her. Just try. Thank you," said Athrun in good manner, but Cagalli known him better, that he is annoyed as much as her.
"Auel, I am done with my practice. Thank you for everything. "Said Athrun while bow as a respect to his swimming captain which he is in second year.
"Okay Athrun, today was a very good practice that you had been delivered, I hope this year you can swim better as best you delivered during yours middle school era." Reply Auel while to tick on his chart.
Athrun grabs Cagalli arm and pull her to the changing room while his other hand grab a towel to cover his body from the cold breeze.
Cagalli just let Athrun pull her while her feet lazily drag by his strong grip.
"You know Athrun there were not a single person to stop at my club room. It's been a week now. I really hope that there will be one person to check out what we all as a member can do. I really am disappointed with myself now,"said Cagalli while waiting Athrun outside the changing room. Her voice loud enough to be heard by Athrun or anyone who pass that hallway.
Athrun who heard it just give a very long sign. He knows that any sane person will not enter her Ghost Hunter club, it is not cool and all schools will label any sane person who enters that club as crazy.
Athrun just continues hearing his best friend mumble about her day, which is the same as always.
"You know Cagalli, your club so unique that people scared to enter or join it or perhaps your personality that they scared the most." Joked Athrun while open the changing room door to be existing and headed home.
Cagalli just give him piss off face to Athrun.
"Whatever your majesty. As long as you treat me dinner I don't really mind what even you going to insults about my personality, because I do know that you not really mean it."said Cagalli who is in front Athrun and headed to the restaurant to grab dinner.
Since Cagalli father, Uzumi passed away of plane crash 5 years ago, she is living with her uncle Mwu which he is not at home during at night cause of his work as an owner of the Host Club. Even she goes back home there is no one to greet her, so that is why she loves to hang out with Athrun after school hours, since Athrun is only her friend. While both of Athrun parents and his seven years old sister Ami currently at Orb, so" technically" he living all by himself even though he have five maids and a driver, but still his living by own. Maybe because of that both of Cagalli and Athrun will sometimes detour to somewhere else to enjoy their moment before heading home, since there is no one to greet them, and both of them will be dying of bored cause of loneliness or quietness.
"So what is thought to eat Cagalli? I up for anything that you desire to eat."ask Athrun who stared at her by her side.
Cagalli tapping her chin,"hmm... you do know that new cafe on my way home that have very cute rabbit sign board? I really want to give it a try, if you don't mind my majesty's? Asked Cagalli while walking backward to face Athrun.
Athrun just smiles as okay to the girl in front of him.
"Alright then, we shall try it out. Don't be cheapskate Athrun, you should know me very well that I love food. "Said Cagalli in the such giggle voice of her while pull her left arm up as a victory.
Athrun knows Cagalli well; he doesn't mind spending the money on Cagalli especially on the food. Athrun just smiles at his best friend's behaviour.
Usagi The One Cafe, 7pm
Both of Athrun and Cagalli are now stepping into the entrance of the cafe. Cagalli who's the one amaze the decorations that he looks at, it's so lovely and the atmosphere just so nice to hang before heading home. Athrun whose notice Cagalli admiring the place, he went closer to her left ear and whisper, "You do love it right, my princess? I bet the food as nice as the place my dear. Are you ready to dig it my princess?"
Cagalli who's ticklish of Athrun breath, just giggled at it. Then her face Athrun with that lovely smile on her face, she grabs Athrun to the available table that they can sit on. Cagalli found a perfect spot, that is at the very end of the shop which for the Cagalli definition kind of private. She really needs to express everything about her day to Athrun AGAIN!
"Don't you think the place so damn lovely, which you can see all kinds of Rabbits here, even in the menu all the food will be in rabbit shape. It is so damn nice; I already fall in love with this place. "Asked Cagalli while looking at the menu in that happy face on her.
Athrun just watches her, "yea I guess so. I hope that you can eat it, since you have a soft spot of the cute thing. That's the only thing people don't know about my furious blonde princess, that is she just any ordinary plain girl whose love cute thing." said Atrun while staring soft at the blonde with that short smile on his face.
"That is good people don't know me well as you my majestic." reply Cagalli whose is not moving her eye from the menu. There are a lot of choices that she can't make up her mind.
"Sir, miss, are you ready to take your order," ask a very tall girl which in her twenties long black hair which she tie high ponytail, with that hazel eye.
"I would like to have this lovely chicken steak with special black pepper sauce, can you please make it extra spicy, and I really love spicy..."
"Yes, she really does love spicy thing," cut Athrun while looking at Cagalli whose is busy looking at the menu.
"For dessert I would love this lemon fresh cake and the drink this special triple lime with this lovely rabbit straw," said Cagalli while closing the menu.
The waitress writes Cagalli order on her small rabbit pad with that lovely rabbit pen, "what about you sir?"
"I would like to have fried rice egg, for dessert I like to have strawberry triple lemon, which I believe we both will finish it later since you do love eating half of my portion dessert, rite my princess?" said Athrun while looking at Cagalli with that smile on his face which any of his fan club could die.
"Yea my majestic, I really love to eat your half portion of food, since you have a very small stomach that can't handle much food to be digested." reply Cagalli while laughing.
"The drink I like to have ice lemon tea please. "Finished Athrun and handed both the menu to the waitress.
"I believe that's all? I will be right back, in 8 minutes. Both of desserts will be served later, is that okay?"
"Yea, that is okay for us." reply Athrun.
The waitress walks out from the table and continues to do her job.
"Ahhhh... I really frustrated. I hate my life right now; I thought people nowadays will be more open than Stone Age. But man I am so deathly wrong. People don't like what I have done or show them that ghost does exist and we need be caution and study why they act as that. But people just ignore it, which is so wrong." said Cagalli at such long face while her chin resting on her left palm.
Before Athrun can speak, they both hear very interesting conversion on their left side.
"You know Erin, our school is haunted, I heard from the janitor that one night he left late because you know all the first year's ceremony that needs to be prepared and clean after. On his way home he hears a woman cry near the wall that saying, "I will not tell anyone, please don't kill me". He heard it and saw her white shadow that not has faced on her. Oh my I am scared to go back home late nowadays."
"Athrun is that not our school uniform? How come I didn't know about it?" puzzled Cagalli to Athrun
"Is because you didn't not mingle with the second year or some people in school that well my princess."
Cagalli has that smirk on her face which Athrun knows well, that she going to investigate it tomorrow morning, which she will drag him along. He isn't really liking that kind of thing to kill his spare time.
"Here are your meals, please enjoy, if anything that I can assist, please let me know. "With that the waitress takes her leave.
Athrun and Cagalli dig their meals in a quiet, since Cagalli still think what she going to do tomorrow.
Next Morning, Basketball court.
"Athrun I need you to company me to the well behind school yard. It is my opportunity to show the worlds that ghost do need our help to let them catch the killer and bring them justice so that they can go to the light."
"Cagalli, you do know that you in boys section PE? Please go to the girl's section princess. I still have swimming practice later after school, and sometimes people just spread the rumors because they bored or to attract any attraction to become popular. You know high school life right?"
Currently they both having PE, since they both in the same class.
Cagalli stop warm up her body, stared at Athrun," you know what AthrunI thought you understand me well. You the one whose told me to follow my dream when I was small that I may perhaps differ but that's who I am, and now you change and saying that I should stop all the insanity that the only thing that I love most in my life? Maybe you don't need the attraction, since you the popular guy's in the school, you good at swimming, each and every teacher have high expectation of you, but me? Who am I? Nobody will not know me after I graduate from this stupid institution, but I still want to make memories from it. I really hope that you as my friend support me even our times and age changing each year, but that supporting will remain. I am sorry that I waste your precious time your majesties!" with that Cagalli dash out to the soccer field, there she sits on the grass just stares blankly to the field.
Athrun just stood while everyone in the court stared at him, once his mind register everything that Cagalli had said he went out the court to find his only best friend that he care the most.
"You know princess, I am sorry that I hurt your feeling. I just want you to become normal for once, since we both grow, we need to be mature. "Saying Athrun since he found Cagalli sitting on the side of the soccer field.
"Yea whatever your majesties', I am too addicted thanks to "Ghost Whisper". But still AthrunI really love to help the one that who can't speak for themselves. I want to be their voice, even you don't understand it. Like say, someday people kill someone you love the most don't you want to be their voice and bring the justice to them? Don't you!" face Cagalli to Athrun in such determination.
Athrun remembers that face, the face that she believes that her dad is going to be killed in that plane he took to Orb. She told her dad to postpone the trip since she has the feeling that something was not right. But her dad just saying that she misses him too much since he never leaves her that long.
"Okay, fine I will go to that well, but after my practice if don't mind waiting, my dear princess?"
"Really? That is great. I not problem to wait you while you practice."
"Can you go to basketball court and play the volleyball? Since Miss Talia choice that all girls play volleyball while for guys they will play basketball, which I do know that you really good in volleyball I bet you that you will burn that cheerleader squad in good embarrassment." laughing Athrun at the thought that Cagalli once beat Mia in volleyball so bad until she so embarrassing to show her face in school. That happened during their junior year.
Cagalli just nod, "who last reach there has to buy lunch!" said Cagalli while running in happy.
"Not I the one who always treats your meals princess!" screams Athrun who also dash to the court.
"You know what Athrun, you really hot guy after all. With that six pack on your body. How come I never realize it before, since when you do have that thing on your body?"
Cagalli is now waiting Athrun to just do his three hour practice so that she can begin her investigates about the well.
"My dear princess I think you too preoccupied about ghost thing and that Ghost Whisper show that you vowed to become as that main character to see and talk ghost, which is why you miss all my hot figures."
Cagalli just rolled her eye. "Whatever. Are you done?"
"Yes princess, I just need to change." with that Athrun went to the changing room, while Cagalli just waiting him at the swimming pool area.
After 10 minutes, "shall we take our leave, princess?" ask Athrun while bow and extended his arm to Cagalli.
Cagalli giggles, "Well yes my majestic, I believe we can take our leave," reply Cagalli while she accepted his arm offered.
"Well princess here is the "crime scene" that we heard yesterday. It looks normal to me,"
Cagalli went near to well, to have a clear view of it.
"Hey be careful CagalliI can't help you if you fall down dear."
"ATHRUN! CALL THE POLICE NOW! HURRY!"
Athrun without any he hesitated, he flips open his cell phone and dial 911.
The police are now at behind school yard and mark the parameter to avoid any unauthorized person to ruin any potential evidence.
"So you the one found the body. Why are you here? You do know the well were dry, are you trying to commit suicide?" ask one of the officers to Cagalli.
"Well mister police, I am too young to die, and if you think I am the one kill that girl, you dead wrong I never know anyone here and furthermore I here less than a month how in hell I kill anyone here. What they taught you in the academic? The witness is the one commit the crime?" mocks Cagalli in casual.
Before that police man bark Cagalli back, Athrun cut in, "well Mrpolice man we here because we both heard from some of the people that they saw ghost here without face I believe, that is why we here to check it out. You know our teenagers curiosity hormone to check it out anything that interesting."
"Don't tell me that you are trying to be Ghost detectives?" laughing the police man.
"Not I want to speak the ghost like Ghost Whisper woman, help them cross the light of heaven."
"Nowadays teenagers is so crazy don't know what they say and thinking, why not you go home and study other than ghost for better our nation then destroy it with all the lies about ghost, little girl."
Athrun just drags Cagalli out of that policeman, to avoid her from spending a night in prison.
"I hate him so much! Why can he accept that the girl spirit still here for revenge, we need find how she dies and who the killer is?" mad Cagalli while facing Athrun and roughly remove her arm from his grip.
"Princess I know what you trying to do, why not now we both go to my place take dinner, then you can talk about it what you going to do. That way will make you calm a little bit; it will not help her if you in this mess dear. You really want to be her voice, chill for a while think rational and think what next move you going to take, if you took wrong step you will end up as her, die. who going to be your voice, what about me? Are you going to leave me all by myself?!"Said Athrun while facing her and get hold strong grip on her right arm.
Cagalli stand there watching Athrun, she never saw him act this way before.
"Athrun... You hurt me."
"I am sorry." with that Athrun let go his grip and walk to his house, Cagalli walk from behind.
"What am I doing to her, I should not do this to her. She is a princess, I should treat her nicely not let my emotion get the better of me, "thought Athrun in his head.
"You know AthrunI am thankful of your concern, I should not act as that way, with that I am sorry." said Cagalli whose is now on his left side.
Athrun just smiles at her, with that they both walk to Athrun place and thinking what they going to do next.
