After taking the Desert Tiger prisoner and escaping the African continent, the Archangel coasted across the Red Sea as though it was an enormous whale. The plan was to make it to the Pacific Ocean, stop at Orb for a few days, and then continue on until the ship reached JOSH-A. But until they reached Orb, the crew had been granted some time off to enjoy the scenery. While Natarle disapproved of it, for concern of the letting their guard down thus resulting in an enemy attack, Murrue knew it would be good for the crew to relax.

On the bridge Murrue glanced down at the small screen on her armrest when a message suddenly popped up. "This is Freedom; the Mirage Colloid, GN Field and Wings of Light are now online, Ma'am."

Murrue grinned at the message; she and Kira had devised a system with which they could communicate privately even while they were on duty. Right now, Kira was in the hanger, supposedly making adjustments to the OS of his Gundam, but what he was actually doing was synchronizing the Gundam's systems with those of the Archangel.

Murrue smiled as she quickly typed a reply. "This is Archangel; activate the Mirage Colloid, I know that we can hold our own, but I still don't want to come under attack while on our way to Orb."

Onboard the ZAFT submarine which was currently pursuing the Archangel, panic erupted when the enemy ship suddenly vanished from their scopes.

"This location cannot be spotted by a satellite." Kisaka informed Murrue as the Archangel was escorted towards a massive underground cove where there was a secret docking bay a few weeks later. "Onogoro Island is where Morgenroete creates many of its advanced ships and other technology."

Murrue turned to him and even though she knew the truth, she still asked. "Isn't it time that you tell us who you really are?"

Kisaka smirked, but then stood at attention. "I am Colonel Ledonir Kisaka, Orb Land Forces, 21st Special Airborne Division." He tilted his head towards Cagalli. "And her bodyguard."

"So she's the real thing?" Miriallia whispered to Tolle.

"I guess so."

"What are we to do now?" Murrue asked.

"You'll know once the Lion arrives." Kisaka answered.

"Who's the Lion?"

"That's the nickname of Uzumi Nara Athha. There are those who call him 'The Lion of Orb'."

Yzak flung the document on the table. "Do they really expect us to believe this bullshit?" He exclaimed, referring to Orb's official press release. "We're being made to look like idiots." He shot a glare at Dearka before continuing. "We saw the ship on our scopes ten minutes before it entered their territory, we could have easily shot it down in ten minutes!"

The three ZAFT pilots were now gathered inside the briefing room of the Cousteau, a ZAFT submarine that was hiding just outside of Orb territory.

"For all we know, the legged ship has already slipped out and gotten away." Dearka added.

"Dearka!" Nicol scolded.

However it was to be expected that Yzak and Dearka would be this aggravated. The Archangel had once again slipped out of their grasp, and they had very little reason to actually the press release. After all, Heliopolis was a colony that was owned by Orb and was used to illegally manufacture mobile suits.

"Look, it doesn't matter what we believe." Nicol said, again looking at his copy of the document. "We can't refute this as long as this is Orb's formal statement."

"I hate people like those two!" Kira growled, referring to Flay and Natarle, as he slammed his fist into the shower wall while the nearly scalding hot water mercilessly sprayed down on his body.

On his way to the Captain's quarters, he had passed by both of the women. Natarle merely glared at him, but Flay had the gall to try and slap him, which only resulted in her being knocked unconscious, courtesy of a nose-breaking punch which had been delivered by Kira, before the red-headed girl could hope to react.

Murrue jumped slightly when she heard a loud thump from inside the bathroom, worried that Kira may have slipped and hurt himself, she quickly, yet cautiously walked into the bathroom. She was relieved to find Kira standing in the spray of the shower, which had meant that he hadn't slipped and fallen as she had feared.

After silently watching him for a few seconds, Murrue tapped on the shower door to get his attention, the sudden noise causing him to jump slightly. Kira quickly grabbed the edge of the door and slid it open slightly.

"Is something wrong Murrue?" Kira quietly asked.

Instead of answering him, she quickly disrobed, and then she grabbed the door, quickly opening it and stepping into the shower, before finally closing the door behind her. Murrue smiled at Kira as she reached past him to get the soap from the soap dish. When she did this, her tits pressed up against him. She grabbed the soap, got her hands wet, lathered them up, and put the soap back in the soap dish.

She started to wash his back up and down. She used her fingernails to stimulate his skin and help clean any oil and dirt from the pores. She washed his back for a few minutes. She could tell Kira was getting excited and wanted her to hurry up and finish so he could turn, rinse off, and show her how excited he was. When Murrue finished, she reached around him, rinsed her hands off, and told him he could turn and rinse off his back. When he turned, he looked right at Murrue's tits and the hair on her pubic area. Murrue looked down and saw that his dick was hard and sticking straight up.

Murrue smiled as she looked into Kira's eyes, and after a few seconds she asked. "Kira, do you want anything else washed?"

Kira grinned as he replied. "You can wash anything you want, Murrue."

Murrue allowed a mischievous smile cross her lips as she stepped forward and reached over him to get the soap again. His dick pressed up between him and her tits pressed against his chest. She lathered up her hands, put the soap back in the soap dish, and then stepped back.

She then wrapped her hands around his dick and started to wash it and his balls. She could feel him getting harder and the feel of his balls getting fuller. She stroked him up and down, cupped his balls in her hands, and washed them also. Kira reached up and started to play with her tits. He squeezed them, massaged them, and pinched her now rock hard nipples.

Murrue groaned, he was making her entire body tingle, and she was getting so wet. She finished washing his dick, turned him around, and helped him rinse it off as well as his balls. She took her time by stroking his dick and massaging his balls while they were being rinsed off and when they were completely rinsed off, Kira turned around to face Murrue. She smiled as she stepped forward and asked him. "Do you think you're clean enough now, Kira?"

He responded by pulling her into his arms and kissing her. His hard dick now was pressing into her stomach area. She moaned into his mouth and once they had broken the kiss, she gently took his hand and led him out of the shower where they carefully dried each other off. Finally when they were both dry, Murrue once again took Kira's hand and led him back into their bedroom.

Once they were back in the bedroom, Murrue sat Kira down on the bed, and vanished into the closet. When she returned a moment later she carefully put a collar, which had a three foot long chain link leash, around Kira's neck, smiling when he didn't even try to stop her.

The collar which Murrue had placed around Kira's neck was thin, an inch tall at most, a rather dainty size. Second, the collar was lined with a comfortable fur-like material, which meant that she may have intended for him to wear this collar a long time, perhaps on a near-permanent basis. Third, he could feel a tiny chain extending down from the front-center of the collar to what felt like a small heart-shaped pendant against his collarbone.

As soon as the collar was around Kira's neck, Murrue picked up the handle which was at the end of the three foot long leash with her free left hand and smiled sweetly at him.

"Turn around and put your hands behind your back!" Murrue suddenly ordered, her voice now full of authority. Kira quickly complied, but he was still shocked when she put a pair of handcuffs on him. The steel felt cold on his wrists, and he instantly realized that he couldn't cover himself at all with his hands firmly cuffed behind his back. She then led him over to the bed, carefully securing the handle of the leash on the bedpost, then she helped him to lie down and finally she lay beside him.

'I hope no one walks in on us like this.' Kira thought to himself as Murrue began to passionately kiss him, he quickly pushed the thought aside as he returned her affection as best he could.

Fate was not too kind to the young Innovator or his wife, as the door suddenly hissed open. Murrue quickly yanked the sheets over both herself and Kira, covering their naked bodies.

Kira and Murrue both stared at Cagalli Yula Athha as she stood in the doorway. For a long moment, there was total silence as the three exchanged awkward glances. Finally, Kira muttered under his breath. "Cagalli, if you weren't my sister, I would beat the shit out of you for walking in on me like this."

Murrue whipped her head towards Kira, while simultaneously yanking on the leash. Kira quickly submitted to his Captain, instantly falling silent as the chain tightened around his neck, cutting off his oxygen supply for a fraction of a second.

Cagalli quickly turned and walked out of the room without saying anything. She had not truly believed what she had just seen.

Once Murrue was certain that Cagalli had left, she got out of the bed, walked over to the door and locked it, then she walked over to the bed, glaring at Kira as she stood over him.

"I can't believe that you would even think of hurting your sister, Kira." Murrue said, anger obvious in her voice.

"You know that I wouldn't really hurt her, Murrue." Kira reassured her. Murrue nodded as she turned, disappearing into the closet. A moment later, Murrue reappeared, now carrying a paddle in her right hand. Kira noticed that the paddle appeared to made out of oak, was about a foot in length and even though one side was smooth, the other was lined with large metal studs.

"I intend to make sure of that." Murrue said as she walked back over to Kira.

Thirty minutes later, Cagalli was sitting in the mess hall, talking with Athrun.

"Well, if Kira is in fact having an intimate relationship with Captain Ramius, who are we to stop him?" Athrun asked. Instead of answering, Cagalli looked away, she wasn't about to tell Athrun; but she had a slight crush on Kira.

Athrun smiled as he watched Cagalli and after a few seconds of silence he asked. "You have a crush on him, don't you, Cagalli?"

Cagalli stared at the pilot of the Aegis and hesitantly nodded. Athrun merely smiled. A few more minutes of silence passed until Kira walked into the mess hall. He quickly grabbed a sandwich and a soda, then he walked over to the pair and sat across from them at the table.

Before he began to eat, Kira looked at the blonde and said. "Cagalli, you might not believe what I am about to tell you, but I am your brother. I also know that you have a crush on me, but that relationship wouldn't work out."

As if to prove the point, Kira held up his right hand, showing off his wedding ring. Athrun and Cagalli both stared at the ring in shock as Kira took a bite of his sandwich.

"W-when did you get married, Kira?" Athrun asked in shock, while Cagalli had been stunned into silence.

Kira swallowed the food in his mouth, then he hesitated for a long moment, but finally he answered. "Well, this might be hard to explain, but from the perspective of everyone on this ship, I'm not supposed to be married for two more years." Kira paused for a few seconds, then he finished. "I am the husband of Murrue Ramius, the Captain of this ship; the Archangel."

Cagalli shook her head in order to clear it, then she asked, her voice slowly rising. "So what you are telling us is that you're my brother, you're married to Captain Ramius, and you are from the future?!"

Kira nodded slightly as he replied. "That's right, and in addition I am a member of Celestial Being, an armed organization which is dedicated to eliminating conflict, I have also brought my own Gundam with me. It's in the hanger right now."

Suddenly, Cagalli reached over the table, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt as she yelled. "Are you telling me that you destroyed the Strike?!"

Kira smiled slightly as he shook his head and replied. "No, Cagalli, I did not destroy the Strike." Kira paused again, waiting until Cagalli let go of him before continuing. "But to be completely honest, the Strike wouldn't last more than a few seconds in a fight with my Gundam."

At that moment, Mu La Flaga walked into the mess hall, he immediately noticed the three and after grabbing a sandwich and a bottle of water, he sat at their table. "Hey you three."

The three turned to him, and without any hesitation, Kira said. "Mu, I'm giving the Strike to you, I've already loaded it with an OS which will allow you to use it."

Mu stared at Kira, raising an eyebrow as he asked. "But what will you pilot, Kira?"

Kira smiled and as he stood up, he replied. "Don't worry about me." With that, he walked out of the mess hall.

As Kira left, Cagalli began to think back to when he had first told her that he knew who she really was.

-FLASHBACK-

"I just I never expected that you'd be the pilot of that mobile suit. Just how did that happen?"

"It's long story." Kira told her, memories rushing back. After a moment of silence, Kira suddenly said. "I know who you are, Cagalli Yula Attha, Princess of Orb."

Cagalli could only stare at him, her eyes wide with shock. Once she had recovered, she glared at Kira, her anger quickly resurfacing as she asked. "How the hell do you know that?"

Kira simply smiled as he replied. "Because, I am from the future. About five years in the future to be exact."

-END FLASHBACK-

Cagalli sighed and as her flashback concluded, she watched Kira walk out of the mess hall. If it was true that he really was her sister, and that he was already married to Captain Ramius, she would have to find love elsewhere.

'Well,' Cagalli to herself. 'Athrun is pretty nice, maybe I should give him a chance."


Thus, Chapter 8 is complete.

Athrun and Cagali both know about Kira and Murrue's relationship now, but there won't be too much time to dwell on that, because both ZAFT and the Earth Alliance have been busy cranking out new machines. And even though the crew hasn't detected it yet, something is currently descending towards the Archangel.

I have a few questions this time;

1a) Do you guys think, that Natarle or Flay will find out about the relationship between Kira and Murrue?

1b) If they do find out, how do you guys think it should happen?

2a) Do you think that in a fit of rage or as retalation for Kira breaking her nose, Flay should try to steal one of the Gundams?

2b) If so, which one should she try to steal?
