Chapter 6- Cagalli's Lovers.
Cagalli introduced Kisaka, " This is Kisaka, my friend." Kisaka smiled as he said to Cagalli, " Why don't you ask how I got here?" Cagalli laughed, " Why don't you tell me, Saka? Sorry, but Saka sounds nicer."
Kisaka sighed and said, " You see, I took the boat to Destiny Island upon hearing you going there. During the journey, I saw the word 'Archangel' on this ship and it struck me that you were here. So, I tried to … err. And of course, I succeeded!"
Athrun smiled and said, " You were really brave, Kisaka. There was lightning at that time. You could be struck!" Cagalli, curious, asked, " Athrun, why are there so many people here? I thought…."
Athrun gave a 'what-are-you-talking-about' look and then said, " Oh! Actually the others are going for a competition at Eternal Town located at…" Before he could finish his sentence, Kisaka interrupted, " Orb, right?", " Cagalli is a prin.." Cagalli covered Kisaka's mouth and said, " Princess's friend." Kisaka nodded his head and all that came out from his mouth was, " Ya, ya. Princess's most trusted friend!" Kisaka's expression was so awkward that Athrun suspected something. Kisaka went on, " I am Cagalli's bodyguard, actually. I agreed to be her bodyguard because – 1st, I need a job badly. 2nd, I … love her." Kisaka looked at Cagalli and smiled.
Cagalli looked at Athrun and said, " But I don't love you. Not even a tiny bit, Kisaka." Kisaka just smiled and said, " I know, but I won't give up. I love you, Cagalli." He held Cagalli's hand and smiled.
Lacus said dreamily, " Kira, he's so sweet, how I wish you were like him." Kira groaned, " That's a lie, Lacus, I don't want to be a liar, you will leave me." And he hugged Lacus hard. Lacus laughed. The crowd started to disperse and only Athrun, Kisaka and Cagalli were left.
Athrun said to Cagalli, " We need to talk. We have to talk." Athrun went on, " Kisaka, would you mind leaving us alone?" Kisaka shrugged and went off. Before he left, he asked, " Where's the washroom?" Cagalli and Athrun said together, " Go on straight and you will see it." Kisaka nodded his head and went straight.
Athrun and Cagalli looked at each other. Their eyes met. Both of them looked away and blushed. "You look so cute when your cheeks are red,"Athrun said softly. Cagalli blushed even more. She was about to say something when she saw Yuuna hiding behind the sofa. She screamed, " YUUNA, STOP FOOLING AROUND!!" Yuuna jumped up and laughed, " Good eyes, honey." Athrun threatened, " If you harass Cagalli again, I will never let you off! Now, shoo!" Yuuna mumbled something and ran off.
Athrun said seriously, " I have something to tell you- something very important to me." Cagalli nodded her head, " Go on, Athrun." Athrun took a deep breath and said, " I realized that." He paused for a moment. " You are very important to me. I love you, Cagalli!" And he hugged her.
Aww, how sweet! Cagalli really has a lot of charm LOL.
