Chapter 2

It was an average day in the life of Athrun Zala. He hummed happily skipping across the wooden bridge that extended over the dolphin pool.

The early morning sun shone brightly from the clear, cloudless blue sky. The water sparkled and the dolphins played happily. The warm summer breeze blew lifting up some strands of Athrun's shining blue navy hair.

He just giggled when a particularly strong breeze ruffed up his uniform and blew his hat into the dolphin pool.

Athrun run his hands down his green uniform straightening out the creases and feeling hot just shrugged his shoulders and jumped off the bridge into the cool water.

"Ahh. That's nice" Athrun thought to himself doing a half hearted freestyle stroke to retrieve his hat. Athrun reached out and grabbed his hat putting it back on his head. He smiled when the dolphins came up to greet him. "Hello" Athrun said stretching out his small hand to give a dolphin a pat on the head.

At that moment a stern looking man walked across the bridge in a serious conversation with a group of three people dressed up smartly listening closely to his every word.

Amongst them was a middle aged female with silver hair and cold, icy blue eyes which were narrowed in concentration as if she was trying to remember every word that was spoken.

Another was a tall man with a sandy blonde mustache and hair who was looking very disapproving.

The last of the three was yet another female but much younger than the others. She had the same coloured hair as the other man yet hers was just longer than shoulder length. She was watching the other blond mans expression trying to decipher it

"Yes, yes. Of course we will take it in after some tests. We'll have to check…" the man was saying until he saw his son paddling around in the dolphin pool from the corner of his eye.

"Athrun what do you think your doing" He yelled sharply. Athrun craned his head around to see who was yelling his name and freaked to see that it came from his father or in other words Patrick Zala.

He had dark gray hair that had lost its colour from aging and but mostly stress. His eyes were cruel and cold. They were constantly dilated and always cloudy. They looked dead and it seemed they were unable to portray any emotion besides those of hate and anger.

"What are you doing in there. Get out and go get changed into a new set of clothes immediately. I can't have you looking like that or else your grounded again."

Athrun obliged to his fathers command immediately not wanting to see his father get any angrier. He swam to the shore and jumped out and headed off towards his families hotel room where his mum would be so she could help him choose something else to where.

Ten minutes later Athrun walked into a air-conditioned lobby and strolled towards the elevator.

His shoes made a soft clicking sound on the marble floor.

A nearby cleaner frowned at the little Zala boy who was dripping water all over her newly cleaned floors. Sometimes she really got annoyed by the way she couldn't tell him off since he was the bosses son. Yep that's right . Athrun Zala son of Patrick Zala who happened to own the park. Talia had never dared to say any bad to the boss about anything that was his because whoever had the guts too was fired that instant.

"Sigh" Talia went as she closed her blue eyes before opening them to go fetch the mop from the janitors closet.

"Ahhhh" Talia screamed as she slipped on one of the puddles of water that Athrun had left on the floor.

She waited but she never hit the floor. She opened her eyes to see into a pair of gleaming gold ones looking into hers.

"Thank you Mr Dullindal" Talia blushed. "I thought I told you to call me Gilbert" he chuckled at how flustered she was becoming.

"Um I got to go" She muttered embarrassed realizing she was making a total fool of herself in front of her crush.

Gilbert smiled as the light brown haired women ran off looking humiliated. Brushing some of his long, dark locks behind his ear and turning to make his way towards the reception desk.

Knock, knock. The door creaked open and Lenore Zala looked down at her son who was looking up at her dripping wet.

"Athrun. What have you done this time" Lenore asked grumpily looking at the state of what had being a perfectly clean outfit only an hour ago. "My hat blew into the dolphin pool and O went in to get it" Athrun said as if what he did was perfectly understandable.

Lenore looked at her innocent son and couldn't stay angry with him. "Come on then. I'll get you a fresh set of clothes."

"Thanks mum" Athrun said hugging his mums leg because that's as high as he could reach.

"Here you go Athrun" she said passing him another outfit. "Thanks mum" Athrun squeaked running off in the direction of the rooms ensuite.

Lenore walked back out into the penthouses lounge room. Although she thought that the apartment was over done but that's what she should have expected. Her husband liked to have the best in everything so of course he let them live in the pent house.

She really liked the way her husband would get the best of everything but she was uncertain of how it would rub off on Athrun. She really hoped that he wouldn't grow up to be snobbish and stuck up, thinking hes higher than everyone else because of his wealth he will to inherit.

She looked out the window that covered an entire wall and it looked over the theme park and the sea that sparkled just beyond it.

"Ok mummy. I love you. I'll see you later" Lenore heard a happy voice say before a slam of the door.

"Let us see will you" Mr Zala said impatiently. "Yes of course" Murdoch said retrieving Kira who was totally wrapped up in a towel so you couldn't see him. "Come on" Mr Zala enforced again tapping his foot impatiently on the ground.

"It wouldn't hurt you to say please" Murdoch mumbled to himself. Even though Mr Zala heard this all he did was scowl because he didn't have time to mess around with this buffoon he thought. He was like the other three anxious to see what the creature in the towel really looked like.

All leaning forward with baited breath as Murdoch unwrapped the towel.

All gasped as they saw the peacefully cuddled up creature inside which was sucking its thumb.

"Excellent. He shall bring great profits and tourism" Mr Zala said regaining his voice first.

"No. That's cruel. We should let it recover then realise it into the wild" Siegel Clyne said . "I agree. it's a living creature and it doesn't belong in a cage" Eileen added.

"Are you nuts" Ezalia said taking sides with Mr Zala. "This maybe the discovery of the century and your willing to just let it go. Keeping it here will ensure its safety and we can observe it too."

"No. Putting it through that is cruel its only a baby judging by its size" Mr Clyne said slightly louder.

"Your such an idiot. Why are you here anyway" Mr Zala said even louder.

Kira woke up feeling achy. His sores stung and the bright light from the sun shone painfully into his eyes. In addition loud voice were yelling and because of Kira's acute hearing they were amplified even louder drilling into his head. In addition to this Kira didn't know where he was and was frightened. So he did the only thing he could do in a situation like this… cry.

All stopped their argument to see the little creature letting out loud wails sounding just like that of a toddler.

"Mates. I'll leave him with you" Murdoch said turning around to leave before things got too crazy and before he regretted his decision anymore.

"Ok. Fine. Lets go put it into an aquarium to start off with and see where we go from there" Mr Clyne said seeing standing there arguing wasn't doing the little guy any favors.

Mr Zala and his assistant both smiled in victory.

Eileen scooped the creature up and followed Mr Zala. She being female had her motherly instincts kick in and began rocking Kira in her arms and hummed a little lullaby and too her surprise Kira actually stopped crying and seemed to relax a bit so she continued doing it.

"What do you think your doing" Mr Zala smirked and Eileen who was nurturing Kira. "What. Oh nothing" Eileen said stopping immediately much to Kira's disappointment.

Walking over to the pool Eileen gently placed Kira into the water.

Kira felt slightly relieved that he was back in the water but some how this time it was different. The water tasted funny in his mouth and it made his eyes sting a little.

Kira swam a bit and looked around. Sure it was water but the place looked totally different from his home in Neroh or anyplace in the ocean. It was so empty. Walls surrounded and some glass even though the walls tried to look normal they were nothing like it. There was no current. The water just seemed to sit still except for some places were it moved in one direction. Besides himself and the humans there was no other life. Not even any plants.

"I want to go home" Kira thought as this tank was freaking him out.

"See. He looks very happy in his new home" Mr Zala said gesturing to Kira who was swimming around the tank.

"No. He looks lost and confused" Eileen said sadly looking at the poor creature. She felt a bit bad looking at the expression on its face.

"I'm sure hes just adjusting that's all" Ezalia said confidently, "I'm sure he will get better through time."

"Mmmm" said Mr Clyne looking at Kira feeling uneasy. "Ok. But if he doesn't get used to it we will relocate him. Come on Eileen. We should be getting going. We'll check up on him soon."

The two of them walked away.

"Excellent" Mr Zala said smiling creepily. "I want him getting used to humans as soon as possible ok. So then we can have him perform in shows."

"What about lab tests" Ezalia asked. "Yes we'll get to them soon. Very soon…"
