See, I told you I was going to update really soon. And look, the computer wasn't mean to me this time! And I'd just like to day, for those of you who think Cagalli is OOC, she is, for now. I meant to do that, and I'm sorry if I had forgotten to mention that earlier. So yes, it's OOC.

Chapter 3
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raindrops danced on the rooftop, soft taps echoing like a bittersweet lullaby through the silent home. Soft rivers flowed down the window panes in a spectrum of damp colors as the rain beat against the building. Shadows clouded each window making it seem as if there was no life within.
Cagalli lay on the bed in the middle of the darkened room as she began to stir. She slowly sat up, holding her head in one hand as she used the other to help prop herself up properly. Opening her eyes was a little difficult, it felt as though she had been sleeping for years, which, when you're a vampire like Cagalli, is quite possible.
She sat there for a while, not completely back to normal yet, still having a splitting headache. She hadn't even realized that she had no idea where she was, or how she had ended up there.
Just as she was starting to clue in that she was in a new and strange place, the door to the room opened with a small squeak. Moving her head lazily to the side, she was greeted be a very warm smile.
The girl in the doorway walked inside quietly, she was very graceful. Placing down the silver tray of food on the nightstand beside the bed as she made her way over to where Cagalli was still siting.
"Morning, it's nice to see you finally awake."
The girl wasn't like any other girl Cagalli had encountered. True, she hadn't even said a word to her yet, not even a reply, but you can tell a lot from someone from just looking at them, and this girl was certainty an interesting one.
Though she had a warm, inviting smile, it was offset by her bright pink hair. Not that it looked bad, the long coral locks suited her nicely, it wasn't expected. She had bright blue eyes, and wore normal female human clothing; a black and pink long sleeved shirt, white puffy vest, a pink skirt, and white knee high boots. Typical human wear.
"So how are you feeling?"
That, to Cagalli at least, was a stupid question. She had just traveled through thousands of miles of earth and dirt in what took just a few seconds. How was she supposed to feel?
Cagalli just made a grunting noise as she clutched her head in her hand once more. This made the pink haired girl looked concerned for a moment. But soon her attention drifted back to the doorway, where another human stood.
This one was a boy, about the same age as the other girl. He had brown hair and matching chocolate brown eyes. He smiled at Cagalli the same way the girl had, with warmth and compassion.
"So, you're awake. That's a good sigh."
He also walked into the room, standing next to her girl and resting one of his hands on her waist, causing her to go a little pink. They were obviously together. And Cagalli found that it was cute, in it's own little way. From what she could tell, they seemed to suit each other very well.
"I'm Kira by the way, Kira Yamoto. And this is Lacus Clyne. And who might you be? "
Thinking it best to be polite to them, even though she had no idea who they were, Cagalli replied.
"My name's Cagalli. And, may I ask, what exactly am I doing here?"
The question shouldn't have surprised them, but it did. Somehow they had totally forgotten to mention why they had brought Cagalli here, and where 'here' was exactly. The pink haired girl, Lacus, decided it best to let her boyfriend handle this one.
"Last night, we were at our friend's restaurant, and we lost track of time, so we didn't end up going home until very early in the morning, around two I'd say. And on our way home our friend, Athrun, thought he head something, so he ran off to see what was going on. When we caught up to him, he was already beating up that guy who was attacking you in the alley."
Kira took a moment to take a breath, but he wasn't fast enough to continue, so Lacus carried on from there.
"After we had taken care of that guy, you had fainted. We weren't sure who you were, or where you come from or anything like that. We thought the best thing to do was to bring you back here, at least until you woke up and we could figure out what to do from there."
'So their friend, Athrun,' Cagalli thought, 'was the one that I saw last night. The one with those green eyes.'
"So how are you feeling after last night?"
Cagalli's attention was once again averted to Kira. Both him and his girlfriend were looking a little worried.
"Fine, thanks. But I still have a bit of a headache."
That was an understatement, it wasn't anything close to a normal headache. Her head throbbed, agonizingly pulsating with a sharp pain that jackknifed through her skull so hard her vision blurred in and out. It wasn't an ordinary headache or migraine that she had ever experienced.
Apparently, it was like Kira could read minds or something, because he was currently giving the blonde vampire an uncertain look. But he nodded anyway trying to make the girl feel as though she was understood.
Just then a low grumbling sound was caught in their ears. Cagalli placed a hand over her talkative stomach and blushed slightly from embarrassment.
"It would seem you're hungry. Though it is to be expected, you have been sleeping for quite some time. We'll leave you to eat, I've brought you some lunch, I hope you enjoy it."
Cagalli muttered a quick thank you as she watched the two head towards the door. Lacus smiled at the blonde girl one last time before she ushered Kira out of the room. The brown wooden door closed shut with a small clicking noise behind their retreating figures.
Cagalli sighed, placing both index fingers to her temples and rubbing them gently as to diminish the pain within her skull. She hadn't been on the surface for even a day, and she had already gotten herself in trouble. Though that seemed to be typical for her. Trouble fallowed her around wherever she went, urging her to resign and seek safety. But she wasn't one to back down, and this was just the start of her adventure.
