Disclaimer: I do not own anything in Gundam Seed, this includes the characters. They are only appearing for my amusement.

A/N: As promised, here is the confrontation between Murrue, Athrun, and Lacus. Please enjoy. I'm sorry that the chapter is so short. I promise, the next chapter will be longer!

A/N2: I will be out of the state for awhile due to a family emergency and will not have access to the internet. I don't know how long I will be gone but I will endeavor to have a chapter to update when I get back. Gomen mina!

Chapter 2: Misunderstanding Explained

Murrue watched in silent horror as Kira swiftly destroyed the Justice before fleeing without a backward glance. It was all her fault. Closing her eyes, she berated herself harshly for her weakness. Before long, she heard the door of the bridge slide open. Opening her eyes, she turned to see Athrun holding and consoling a distraught Lacus.

"Athrun… Lacus," she began.

Athrun's eyes snapped to her in fury, "We don't want to hear it. You are so selfish! Mwu died so you decided to go after Kira! Did going after Kira and ripping apart his and Lacus's relationship make you feel better about your own destroyed relationship!"

"That's not what happened!" Murrue yelled with tears in her eyes.

As Athrun opened his mouth to shout at her some more, Lacus laid her hand on his arm as tears continued to cascade down her cheeks, "I would like to know what happened… I wish to know why Kira betrayed what we had as I thought we were happy."

Flopping into the captain's chair, Murrue waited for them to stand before her once more, head held in her hands as she fisted her hair, "I was so… weak," ignoring Athrun's snort of disdain she continued, "Mwu… Mwu is… dead. I didn't want to live without him, he had become my everything… What you had walked in one was Kira saving me," taking another deep breath Murrue forged on with her explanation. "Kira saved me from making the biggest mistake of my life… He stopped me from ending my life. I had the gun to my head, ready to pull the trigger… But Kira stopped me. You walked in on him holding me down as I struggled to get to the gun… He lost his balance and fell forward. All you saw what Kira's desperate attempt to save someone who didn't deserve it," Athrun and Lacus' eyes widened as Murrue raised her head, glaring at them, "And you ran him off without even waiting for an explanation! He fought for all of you, through his own suffering and remorse, and this is how you repay him! Not even trusting him!"

"Murrue, I'm-" Lacus began.

"No! Don't even try to apologize to me! I don't need it! The one who needs you apology the most… Just ran away from all of us… And I doubt he will ever forgive us for this," Murrue murmured depressingly.

"What we're we supposed to think! We walked in on you two barely dressed and in a lip-lock!" Athrun defended their actions.

Glare back in place, Murrue stood and shouted, "It doesn't matter what you thought! It's called trust and understanding. It's about believing in someone enough to look past what's in front of you!" Murrue sat back down heavily and sadly continued, "Kira trusted all of us with everything he had; his mind, body, soul… and heart. Now… Now we have nothing."

Lacus sank to her knees, holding herself, "What have we done, Athrun?"

Athrun stared into space, looking in the direction that Kira had gone, "I think we just ruined the best thing that has ever existed on this earth… A pure heart."

END!

So there it is, now Lacus and Athrun know the truth of what happened. I bet they feel horrible, as they should! Sorry it's so short. I promise the next chapter will be longer!

In the next chapter, there is a new twist. I hope you all stay tuned to see what happens. Let me know what you think!

IgNighted- I'm glad you are enjoying the story. Yes, Athrun will be making regular appearances throughout the story. He is one of the main characters and the cause of a lot of the conflicts within the story as I'm envisioning it at the movement. Don't worry, Athrun is here to stay! However, I would have to disagree with you on how fast Kira could kick Athrun's butt. In episode 37, about 18 minutes into the episode, Kira defeats Athrun in a matter of seconds in order to get to Cagalli when she is suffering from having the Orb forces fighting a battle when Orb is supposed to be against conflict. That's what I took that scene from. Also, thank you for adding me to

ZGMF-XA-880Salvation- I'm sorry the plot seems predictable. I thought of this story and started writing it a few years ago. I found it again and decided to continue on with the story. I hope you continue to read and that the plot has some twists that you will enjoy.

Pri-Chan 1410- I'm glad that you like the story. I will try to make the chapters longer. For some reason, no matter how hard I try, the first few chapters are always shorter than I would like them to be. I shall endeavor to rectify that as the plot continues. Also, thank you for the Story Alert add!
