Chapter 7

Misconception

A couple of hours later, Kia was randomly walking around looking for Yzia.

"YZIA!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU!!!!!!!!"

She screamed as she went down the stairs. "YZIA!!!!!!!!"

"What???" Yzia asked as he appeared, rubbing his ear. He apparently just got back from doing….stuff.

"Your tux was dropped off in my room." Kia said calmly.

"What!? You mean you were prancing around wearing only a robe and your underwear, while screaming at the top of you lungs, just to tell me my tux is here?" Yzia asked. But then, he was pretty much used to Kia being like this, so it wasn't anything new to him.

"That and to get out of those peoples reach. I mean, I don't even think they're sane. All they care about is hair, makeup, clothes and all that junk." Kia rambled on. "I mean, I know I'm a girl and everything and that it's practically in our genes to be that vain, nut then, I'm not normal am I? Plus, they went overboard when they wanted to chop off my hair. No offense to all those fasionistas out there. And don't even get me started on the dress. I like it simple right? Well, they wanted me to change into these other dresses which I swear are meant to make sure you die from not being able to breath. And they want me to wear this shiny jewelry, which by the way weighs a ton. And they sprayed this hair spray that was so strong I wanted to puke. I swear if it doesn't come off, I'll kill them. No, wait, that's way too messy. Make that have someone kill them. Yep, that should work. Will you do it Yzia? Or maybe General Bastard or Porcupine Head. I could give them this new weapon that makes things go boom. They'll absolutely love it."

"Calm down Kia. You're rambling." Yzia said, putting Kia into a halt. "You used me as an excuse didn't you?"

"Yeah, well they wanted me…."

"I got it the first time."

"Oh. Well, be in the torture room if you need me. Please need me." Kia practically begged.

"Get dressed."

"Yes Colonel."

"Har har. Very funny."

Two hours later, Kia was entering the ballroom with her arm latched unto Yzia's.

"Must not get annoyed. Most always smile. Must not get annoyed. Most always smile. Must not get annoyed. Must always smile. "Kia chanted.

"That annoying eh?" Yzia whispered.

"You are so lucky to be a dude, all you have to do when you turn 18 is to get blind-drunk. And me? Torture AND having it announced to people I don't know and will never wish to know." Kia whispered back as Yzia bowed before her.

"I'll see you soon." Yzia said.

"How soon is soon?"

"Three hours." And with that, Yzia went into his duties off mingling with all the guests.

"18 roses." Kia muttered angrily. She slightly raised her voice. "Why the hell did I fall for that fool?"

"Who's a fool?" A masculine voice asked from behind her.

Kia turned around to find her childhood friend looking at her, dressed in a tux.

"Yutta!!!" She hugged him. Then slapped him on the shoulders. "Why the heck are you here??? Why didn't you tell me!!"

"Er…. Surprise?" Yutta asked, his hand going through his blonde hair.

Yutta Orihara. He was the son of one of the renown generals of ORB. His mother held a high place in ORB politics and his family was close friends to the ORB royals. And he was a Natural.

"Shuddup." Kia winked at him. "Gotta go, duty calls." Then she turned and disappeared into the crowd, not knowing of a pair of eyes following her every move.

Meanwhile

"Mother, I forgot to tell Kia something. Do you mind if I go?" Yzia asked before they started the mingling part of the evening.

Shiho turned to face him, than glanced at Yzak. "If your father doesn't mind."

Yzak huffed. "Hurry up so we can get this over with." Having said that, Yzia left and went towards the direction where he had left Kia.

When he arrived, he came to see Kia hugging an unknown blonde man who was very dashing. Deep, ocean blue eyes and a lean body. Then he heard him speak: "Er…. Surprise?" A very deep voice to accompany the deep eyes. He saw Kia speak with him some more before turning to also start her mandatory mingling with the guests. His eyes followed her every move. He glanced back at the guy who was still standing there, talking to Kira and sipping on some wine. He looked back at Kia, then to the guy, than Kia again. Then he turned around and went back to his parents.

"I've told her."

Three hours later

The 16th Rose, Kira Yamato, gave Kia a peck on the check and gave her the 16th rose before stepping aside to let Yzia have his turn. Yzia approached with a scowl on his face.

"GAWD!" Kia sighed as she started ballroom dancing with Yzia. "Thank heavens I only have to deal with this two times in a lifetime: my debut and wedding. The first thing I'm gonna do once I get back to the mansion is take a nice, long soothing bath to take care of the stress and muscles. That and the torture devices I have on. You know, hair spray, make up, all that junk. Why you scowling?"

"Nothing." The dance ended and Yzia gave the rose to Kia before handing her to her final rose, her 18th rose, her father.

Athrun stared down at his darling treasured daughter as they danced. He saw her eyes misting up. Maybe there was something in his side of the family she had inherited besides the eyes. Her grandmother's tears, his mother.

"Something wrong sweetheart?"

"Nothing daddy. At least I don't think so."

AN: All that in one sitting.

IMPORTANTE: I plan to start some new fics soon. Two full-length fics and a songfic that I'll be putting up. I've been wanting to expand my range for a while now. BUT that doesn't mean I won't continue this. On paper, I have till Chapter 11 written and I fully intend to finish these series while I still have some spark for Gundum Seed left.. I hope ya'll will also support my other fics.

Review Please!!!!
