Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Seed
Has anyone heard of the rumors to Gundam Seed Eternity? I hope it really turns out to be true! The ending of GSD was so blah. It was expecting of what would happen.
Im thinking of changing my screen name to BloodshotRuby.
The whole world seemed colorless to her. She didn't want others to worry, didn't want anyone to pity her. This parentless girl. Her father...dead? How could that possibly be?
Lacus looked at herself in the mirror, trying to crack a smile. It worked. A small smile appeared, and it looked the same as the other usual ones she used. A mask was all it was. A mask of depression. She could pass for an actress...
The murderer was still not identified. Could her father have known that it would happen to him? According to what Kyo told her, Her father had sent her to Japan to protect her. This news surprised Lacus terribly. So her father did not tell her to follow her heart..., but to be safe from others? She didn't know whether to despise her father, or be grateful.
She couldn't despise her father. No way. But what were his true intentions? She didn't know, and had no way of knowing. She clasped her hands together and walked over to the balcony. The bright rays erupted into her room when she opened the door.
"If only I had spent more time with you father..." Lacus whispered, as if her father were listening. In a way, She could tell he was.
A faint sharp sound erupted her thoughts as she heard the phone ring. She took one last glance at the clear blue sky before going inside to pick it up.
" Hey There." Kira said on the other line. Lacus clutched the phone tighter. He had that ability to suddenly make her feel a bit better, just by hearing his voice. She was glad he called, She needed comfort in someone.
" Kira, Hey." Lacus said, not wanting to sound distressed.
" I'm going to visit Nikki today, should I come pick you up?" Kira said, getting to the point.
" Nikki? Of course I'll come " Lacus said. She heard Kira chuckle on the other end.
" Alright, I'll be over in a while." Kira said, He paused for a while. "You okay Lacus? You seem...different."
Lacus managed a giggle. "I'm fine, Thank you very much."
Kira decided to drop it. "Okay, See you later then."
" Right." Lacus said and hung up.
You always see through me...Don't you Kira...?
It had been forever since Lacus had seen the little girl. The little carrot top girl named Nikki. At age 8, she had been suffering terribly. Her parents had left her without a word, and on top of that, she had a learning disability along with cancer. Imagine, At the age of 8!
Lacus felt deep remorse for the little girl. She had visited the girl every day when she was still in Japan, 2 years ago. But she had left without a word, just like her parents. She didn't know if she could face the freckle faced girl without wanting to slap herself.
Kira could sense something was bugging Lacus. He put a hand on her shoulder and flashed a reassuring smile at her. " She's been doing good, I'm sure she'll be glad to see you."
Lacus couldn't help but smile back. " We'll see."
Kira was the first to walk in the room, Lacus followed shortly. Guilt rubbed in Lacus even more when she saw the little girl. She was sleeping soundly in her bed, ever the angel. Her orange hair spread all over her shoulders, her hair slightly over her eyes. Lacus slowly walked over to her.
" Oh Nikki..." She whispered, gently sitting down on the bed. Kira pulled up a chair beside the bed and sat down.
Lacus brushed the bangs out of Nikki's eyes. In an instant, chocolate brown eyes widened. Lacus pulled her hand away, and put it over her mouth. Kira smiled and looked at Nikki.
" Good morning Nikki." Kira said. Nikki rubbed her eyes and blinked a few times before sitting up. Her eyes focused on Lacus for a few seconds before widening. Her little hands grabbed Kira's sleeve.
" Big Sister Lacus...?"
Kira got up and sat down on the bed beside Nikki, wrapping an arm around her. "Yeah Nikki, Do you remember big sister Lacus?"
Lacus put on her best smile. "Hello Nikki"
The little girl broke into a laugh, crawling over to Lacus and throwing her arms around her. "I've missed you Big Sister Lacus!" Tears of happiness flowed down her cheeks. Lacus held the little girl in her arms, planting a kiss on top of her head.
" I've missed you too Nikki." Lacus said, stroking her orange hair. Nikki looked up at her, a bright smile on her face. Lacus wiped her tears away. "Have you been a good girl?"
" I've done everything a lady should." Nikki said, as-a-matter-of-factly. She sniffed and stood up on the bed, straitening her long white gown. She did a small curtsy as Kira chuckled, poking the girl in the stomach and scooping her into his arms. Nikki squealed as she giggled lightly, squirming in Kira's arms. She wrapped one arm around Kira's neck and looked at Lacus.
"Where have you been Big Sister Lacus? I thought you were busy everyday and forgot about me." She said the last part in a hushed whisper. Kira looked over at Lacus, clearly asking the same thing. Lacus stood up and walked over to them.
"I had some things to do with my daddy." It wasn't a lie. Not at all. She brushed away the sadness aching in her heart. "I didn't want to let my daddy down... So I did what he told me to do, and go to him."
Nikki put her finger on her lip, nodding. "Really? I never knew that..."
Lacus smiled once again and cupped Nikki's cheek. "Yes, and I'm sorry for not telling you. I was really rushed."
Kira cleared his throat as he put Nikki down gently on the bed. He picked up her empty tray of food. "I'll leave you two to talk for a while, Be right back." He walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. Nikki sighed.
" I've been a good girl..." Nikki said, sitting down on the bed. " But there was one time I wasn't." Lacus looked over at her curiously.
" What do you mean Nikki?" Lacus said.
" I was so alone.." Nikki said, playing with her fingers. " I didn't want to tell you in front of Big Brother Kira, because I didn't want him to hate me." Lacus sat down beside her, pulling the little girl close to her.
" What happened?"
" I was so scared...No one cared about me." Nikki said. She had remembered it like it was yesterday. "You didn't come to visit me, Big Brother Kira didn't either...I thought I did something wrong. I thought something happened to make you hate me, I was so confused."
Lacus just continued to stare at the girl.
" Then then... Big Brother Athrun came to see me. He told me that it was a bad time for Big Brother Kira, because he was sad too. He was sad that you left, Big Sister Lacus. I understood and didn't cry anymore, but I still missed you a lot."
" I see." Lacus said, feeling terribly guilty. She decided right there and then. She had to repay Kira back somehow...
" Lacus, Something's wrong." Kira said as he put down a cup of tea. Lacus looked up at him, with a small smile on her face.
" What do you mean Kira?" She said, reaching out for the cup of tea. They were at Kira's apartment. Memories seemed to bloom every second she was in the room. Kira continued to stare at her, watching her every move.
" I meant what I said, Something's wrong." Kira said. Lacus sipped her tea and sighed as she put the cup down. She managed a giggle.
" I really don't know what you're talking about." Lacus said, her heart beating faster and faster. Kira continued to stare. She didn't change after all.
" I don't mind if you don't tell me Lacus, But I hope your okay." Kira said.
" I am, thank you." Lacus said. She looked around the room and stood up, walking around. She could remember all the memories in this apartment. Like ghostly images, They were playing over and over again, never to leave her mind. Her feet led to his bedroom. More and more memories rushed in. She could see that nothing had changed.
Her eyes landed on something she had remembered quite well. A shiny dog tag. She picked it up gently.
" Kira..." Lacus whispered, quite aware he was behind her. Kira walked up to her and put his mouth near her ear.
" Is it still true Lacus?" He whispered. It sent shivers up Lacus' spine. She felt his grip around her tighten.
She hadn't felt like that in a LONG time.
" You know it Is." Lacus whispered back, turning around to face him. " I couldn't get my mind off you. For the last two years...I'm so sorry Kira."
She owed him a lot. The guilt and pain she made him feel. Everyone was leading her onto the right road all along. She was just too naive to believe it. She knew what she was doing was right.
Kira didn't expect that. The next thing he knew, Her lips were on his. It felt...so...right. Like nothing had ever changed. Every time he kissed a girl, it was the same. But with Lacus...It felt different. As if nothing in the world could've stopped them.
He returned her kiss and ever so slowly, lowered her onto the bed.
Fllay's eyes burned with fury. She had seen everything.
Her apartment window was right across Kira's bedroom window. Every little thing they did, she saw. After a while, she couldn't being herself to watch anymore. It disgusted her. How dare he!
She had left him. Kicked him away like a little puppy begging to follow its master. Yet after everything she had caused him, he welcomed her back with open arms. The nerve!
She was going to get it. Lacus Clyne. She had lived to despise that name.
No one was going to stop her from what she wanted.
Bright blue orbs fluttered open. She slowly sat up, clutching the blanket to her. It was already 10 am, and she had just woke up. The breeze flowing in from the window made her shiver and cause goose bumps all over her. She quickly slipped back into the warmth of the boy next to her and cuddled up to him.
Last night had felt so good. Not because of the pleasure, or of the fact she hadn't had sex in a long time. It was the fact that Kira was with her again. It was wrong. She knew. She didn't belong to him. But why? She loved him, He loved her, what could've possibly stood in the way.
Her eyes turned dull. Fear ran all over her. She couldn't. She wouldn't. She continued to toss and turn until the commotion woke up Kira. Lacus stared up at him and watched him slowly open his eyes and look down at her.
" Good morning." He said and kissed her on the forehead. Lacus gave a small smile and leaned into him.
" Kira, Don't move."
Kira was confused. He gave a small chuckle. "I'm Not."
" Good." Lacus said and closed her eyes. " I don't want this to end."
Kira wrapped his arms around her as he devoured her in a passionate kiss. Lacus returned it with equal passion. After a moment or so, She couldn't bear it any longer, as she pulled away.
" Kira, I have to tell you something." She said quietly. Kira pulled her closer to him, stroking her hair lovingly.
" Yes?"
" Last night..." She said against the crook of his neck. She had to say it. It was now or never. " It...It was a mistake!"
Kira's eyes widened. He looked down at her. "How?"
" I have to be honest." Lacus said. She pulled away from him slowly.
" I..I'm engaged"
whew. I know I know. The ending was once again rushed. Reviews are appreciated!
