Chapter 7

Kira waited by the door of the office building as he tapped his feet on the floor with patience till he saw a certain pink haired girl, his face lit up. There she came, walking towards him as he stared at her with awe, every passing second she's grown even more beautiful.

"Lacus" he managed to let out as he stared into her cerulean eyes pulling her into a hug.

Lacus was lost beyond words as she stared back into Kira's purple orbs. She didn't know what to say at the moment as she freed herself from the embrace interlocking her fingers within Kira's as their palms felt each other.

Kira smiled at her sign of affection and led her out of the tall tower for lunch, she needed to find somewhere quiet to settle down hence that red haired freak appear again.

They walked closely hand in hand not bothering to say a word in order not to break the romantic silence between them as Lacus looked up into Kira's face. They reached a nearby park and sat down on a bench.

Kira quivered and bit his lips not knowing how to bring up the topic once again. The way Fllay speak of what they did really made him feel really awkward around Lacus, despite knowing it's not the truth.

Lacus stared down onto the floor as she managed to let out her question reluctantly. "Kira, I want to know what happened last night."

Kira hesitated before answering, "Fllay stayed over at my house, but we slept in different rooms, please believe me, I only have my heart for you and not her." He held onto her tiny hands so delicate to touch tightly.

"Why is she staying in your house then?" Lacus questioned obviously not convinced with Kira's answer and with a hint of jealousy of the thought of Fllay living under the same roof with Kira.

"She…" Kira hesitated in his speech as Lacus look stared at his face concentrating in his purple orbs searching for signs of truthfulness or dishonesty burying in it.

Why did Kira have to hesitate before answering her? What is there for him to hide? If he's speaking the truth, there's no sense of hiding right? Lacus thought as she once again pondered over the trust she had in Kira.

Lacus, irritated and impatient, stood up from her seat prepared to walk away as she felt a tug on her hand. She didn't bother to turn around to face Kira as she waited to hearing what he had to say about his relationship with Fllay.

"Fllay is my cousin" Kira answered. "I too, only got to know about it last night; I was shocked like you, refusing to accept the fact that I'm blood related to her." He was speaking from the bottom of his heart, Lacus could feel it.

Lacus spun around quickly with shock written all over her faced as she tried to absorb all that Kira just said to her. She had no doubts about his heart anymore, those words came out so true from his lips; her heart could feel it, feel the honesty hidden behind those words.

She could feel tears threatening to fall from her eyes as Kira pulled her down to his lap facing her at his own level inching close to her; planting his lips on hers laying a soft kiss on it.

Lacus slowly deepened the kiss, despite her heart telling her not to, she could only submit to her desires. After sharing their affection for a few minutes, Lacus slowly parted from the kiss as the taste of sweetness still lingered on her lips.

"Why didn't you tell me so, Kira?" She asked disappointed, if he had explained everything to her, things wouldn't have gotten so bad. A trickle of tear slowly felled from her eyes rolling down her face.

"I'm sorry Kira." She apologized, admitting her fault in making hasty and impulsive decisions. Kira looked at her with sorry touching his heart as he brought up her hands placing it on his chest, letting her feel his heartbeat.

"It's never been your fault sweetheart, its all Fllay's fault." He whispered while bringing up one of her hands placing a kiss on it. He let go of her hands holding onto her waist protectively using the other hand to wipe away her tear.

"Feeling hungry?" He asked in concern. Lacus shook her head no as she stood up and sat down beside Kira again, this time resting her head on Kira's shoulder wrapping her arms around him. She slowly shut her eyes and smiled.

Kira was glad that she's willing to give him a chance to atone for his mistake. He placed one of his hands around her waist and the other stroking her hair, brushing his fingers through smoothly.

He looked up into the sky sighing. He is already tired at that day's events, and the thought of facing Fllay again really irks him. He's glad Lacus is transferred to his department now, that way, he could see her face more often.

It did startle him of her sudden transfer, but seeing Lacus's peaceful face refrain him from disturbing her rest.

Fllay stared at them from a distance with rage building up within her. Just when she thought she's won the battle by half way, they just had to patch up. She gritted her teeth tightly glaring at Lacus with hatred pouring out.

"Darn that Clyne for ruining my plans!! I'll show her that I'm not someone for her to mess around with."

Fllay walked away from the tree she's been hiding behind looking for some ideas to take care of that pesky runt. No one steals my guy away from me!! From young, I've got everything that I wanted, who is she to interfere?!

Her eyes searching for some ideas she could make use of as they landing on two young boys with tattoos imprinted on their fore arms. She smirked to herself as she steadily approached them.

"Do you want to earn some money?" She asked them, obviously surprising them with her tone obviously up to no good. The two guys stared at each other standing up from where they've been seated facing her directly.

They nodded their heads in agreement. "What's the deal?" They asked in a fearful tone. Fllay didn't even flinch at all. This is the type of character she's been looking for.

Fllay narrowed her sly eyes smiling even wider. "I want you to take care of that girl there." She answered pointing to Lacus who's resting peacefully. The two guys smiled at their simple mission.

"You will take action the day after, outside that office building in the morning." Fllay ordered this time pointing towards the Eternal Corporation. "Make sure you stay out of sight as much as possible." She instructed in a serious tone.

The guys are however more interested in the salary they are offered. "How much do you offer then?" They asked Fllay. They expected quite a hefty sum seeing that the clothes she had on her are branded.

"$2000, how does that sound?" Fllay made the deal with them, not bothering about the sum that she has to pay in order to get Kira. The two rugged men smirked at her with satisfaction.

"Deal." They promised, walking away from the scene leaving a very proud Fllay behind. The crossed her arms staring at her disappearing comrades. "She will learn, not to mess around with me."

With Athrun and the others

"Hey Athrun, Where's Lacus and the new guy?" Dearka shouted out at him, feeling relieved for the break that they are finally given.

Before Athrun could reply him, there seemed to be someone calling out to him, in a tone he dreaded hearing, with a voice he didn't want to admit. "ATHY-POO!!" Meer called out flying towards Athrun hugging onto him tightly.

Athrun pushed Meer away roughly giving him an angry glare, "What are you doing Meer?" He asked.

Meer smiled at him with her ever seductive eyes attempting to kiss Athrun, but was then avoided, "what's wrong with me joining my boyfriend for lunch?" She asked clinging onto his arm as he felt her breasts pushed up against it.

Instead of feeling excited, Athrun freed himself from her grasps as he signals the others to walk away with him. Meer, obviously not defeated, ran up to him again as she slide her sleek arms around his waist cuddling up to him lovingly.

"What's there to be shy about?" Meer asked Athrun completely ignoring Shinn and the rest there. Stellar slowly approached Meer from behind as she tapped her shoulder lightly. "Meer-san, if you could excuse us, we are going to have our lunch now. Anything else, we can talk later."

Meer was irritated at how Stellar interrupted her as she turned around sharply preparing to snap at her. "This is within me and my Athy-poo, its none of your business. Get away you dirty freak!!" She shouted in Stellar's face failing to notice Shinn's face boiling with anger.

Meer raised her hand attempting to slap Stellar across the face, but before she could do that, she felt a sharp sting on her face. Meer looked up to see Shinn up at her with his palm still at the position where he slapped her tightly. Meer held onto her cheeks as she stood up trying another one of her pathetic attempts running up to Athrun crying in his arms.

"Athrun!! Look at what they did to me!!" Meer pretended crying. Her actions didn't work a bit of magic on Athrun at all as she once again felt herself on the floor this time with her other cheek stung hard. She couldn't believe what she's seeing. Did Athrun just slap her?

She stared up at the five pairs of eyes looking down at her, threatening for laughter as she got up to snap at Miriallia and Dearka.

"I am your supervisor!! How dare you laugh at me like that??!!" She screamed like a lunatic into their face with her hair messed up from all that falling she got previously. Dearka couldn't hold back his laughter anymore as he finally let out. "I think this isn't the time for you to be screaming at us. I suggest you go to the washroom and clear yourself up, or else we wouldn't be the only ones laughing at your clown act."

Meer squealed in disbelieve as she ran away from the group wailing to herself. Athrun just stood there trying to calm himself down from bursting into laughter. The two palm print marks on her face were as perfectly visible as he recalled the one Fllay had on her cheeks too.

Dearka turned to Athrun back to the question he asked earlier. "So where'd you say is Lacus and the new guy?" He asked in curiosity not seeing any new faces around.

"Kira ran down the office building right after we were dismissed for lunch, Lacus followed I think." Athrun couldn't confirm his words as he wasn't sure if lacus was searching for Kira. "But Kira is a great guy too." He commented.

"How?" Miriallia asked wondering what Athrun meant by great.

"He slapped Fllay Allster today and totally humiliated her in the office yesterday after break." He said still withholding his laughter as his mind kept replaying the humorous scenes of Fllay ever since Kira stepped into the company.

"One cool and fine guy I'd say." Dearka laughed as the gang headed towards the canteen they'd never get bored of for lunch.

End of the day

"Kira!!" Athrun tried to call out, but his attempt failed miserably when he saw Kira exit the office with Lacus by his side as he held onto her waist tightly. Athrun stared at them with awe.

He couldn't believe his eyes, it's only been a day, and they are together?? "Kira, you're truly marvelous." He told himself as his mind once again drifted off to the blond girl in his dreams. She didn't appear in his dreams, she was one of his ex classmate, but he couldn't put a finger on remembering her name as his memory of her is still blurish.

She only joint school for one day and she was transferred. Athrun thought that he could get to know her being seated side by side, how wrong he was. He waited for the next day to come but was then disappointed to not being able to see her figure appear again.

His suspicions were then cleared when the teacher announced the transfer of the girl. He went to the car park alone as he once again see his friend with the pink haired princess he recently hooked up with. He watched in envy as they display their signs of affections to each other.

He wished to do this too, but with the girl who was destined to be seated beside him and unknowingly disappeared the next day during the high school years.

He entered his car as he drove off the building. How he wished that Meer was the girl he had grown to have feelings for. He tried recalling her name once again but failed miserably as his eyes caught sight of a sign on the wall with a huge letter 'C'.

It entered his mind sharply, C, "Cagalli!!" He shouted out to himself silently congratulating his heart. He slowly drove out of the building and past Kira's house to see a girl sweeping by the gates. She had shoulder length blond hair and amber eyes. Could it be her? Athrun asked himself.

He stopped by the gates and exited from the car walking up to Kira's mansion. "It really is her!" he told himself. He could remember her very well, her dress code, the way she grumble to herself, her voice and every feature she had on her.

"Cagalli." Athrun let out. To his surprise, she seemed to have caught his speech as she looked up and stared at him with a puzzled expression on her face.

"How'd you know my name?" She asked Athrun in an unfriendly manner. Yes! It really is her, the boyish character and her acknowledging that Cagalli is her name. Athrun could now reconfirm his suspicions for her identity as he stared into her amber orbs feeling in heaven.

"Hello? Blue haired man??" Cagalli called out again waving her hand in front of Athrun's face. "What a weirdo." She told herself as she continued sweeping the grounds of her house.

Lady luck must be smiling at me, she is talking to me. Athrun sighed to himself dreamily as he looked at her sweep the floor. Cagalli was about to enter the house when he snapped out of his crazy trance and called out to her. "Could we talk??" He called out to her.

Cagalli turned to him as she sighed. She didn't bother giving him a reply as she entered her house. Athrun sighed in defeat. "That's that." He told himself.

He was about to leave the gates when he saw Fllay entering the gates. She gave him a cold and deadly glare before entering. Athrun rubbed his eyes and blinked in confusion over and over again. "What is Fllay doing here?? Why is she entering Kira's house??" He asked himself in fear of what may happen to Kira.

Seeing that Cagalli is not coming out anymore, he turned around to drive away. He can't be bothered much about Fllay's presence at that moment. He could get the answers from Kira tomorrow anyway. He let out another sigh as he drove away from Kira's house, still replaying the image of Cagalli walking away from him.

"Kira." Lacus let out in more of a sigh.

Kira turned his attention to her despite the fact that he's driving and should be concentrating on the road. "Yes Lacus?"

"I've got a sinking feeling that Fllay is up to no good." Lacus mumbled softly. From the time when they left Eternal Corporation, her eye lid's been twitching. She know very well that whenever her eye lid twitches, something bad is bound to happen. She couldn't help but worry about what Fllay have up to her sleeves.

Kira placed his hands on Lacus's as he reassured her worries. "We will face what ever that's coming up at us together right?" He smiled lovingly at her.

Lacus nodded her head as she felt better at Kira's reassurance. However, the uneasy feeling still lingered in her heart.

Kira drove Lacus to her house as they bid their goodbye with a passionate kiss. "I'll pick you up again tomorrow morning, alright?" Kira asked. He smiled when he received a nod from Lacus as she planted a soft kiss on his cheek before stepping out of the car.

Lacus walked up to the porch, before she could open the door, the door opened by itself; there standing before her is a very jealous Sting. He saw their last kiss as it pained his heart a lot to let Lacus slowly fall deeper and deeper in love with another guy. Its only within a matter of time before she belong to Kira.

"Lacus, I have something to tell you." Sting said as he is about to say something he felt he needed to.

A/N: Since most of the people chose choice #1 I'll go with it. Sorry to readers who chose #2 but I will try to put in a few scenes meant for that choice in the mean time. This chapter is more on Kira and Lacus. Like I promised, a KxL scene in this chapter. I added some AxC too, but not too obvious. At least they met right? They will meet again, when Cagalli starts work. I'm not sure when will my next chapter be up, I've recently started writing a "High school Musical" Fiction. I hope you guys would read it too. I am also plotting for "Fairy Tales II". I think it will start only when I'm near to the end of any of my fictions. It's a continuation to my OneShot fiction "Fairy Tales." I also want to thank the reviewers who reviewed for their desired choices to continuing the story. Please R&R. Thx.
