The Devil's Love


Chapter 8 More Secrets


Friday, 20 January, 17.47

Kira was walking out from Cagalli's hospital after hearing Cagalli's secret and made sure that she had gone to deep sleep then went to the front office.

"What can I help you, Sir?" asked the nurse, who was working at there.

"Sure, if you see any of these guys come here and wanted to see my sister, could you please call me?" said Kira as he gave the nurse few photos of the suspects and his card. The nurse received and nodded her head as she had accepted his order. The nurse didn't ask anything far anymore because she already knew who he is and his sister.

Then Kira excused himself and went to the work. Before he reached the exit door, he saw that pink-haired nurse again, Lacus Clyne. He stopped for a moment then decided to greet her.

"Hey." Kira greeted Lacus. Lacus looked to see Kira in front of her, dropping to greet her.

"Well, hello there." Lacus replied with a big smile. "Is there anything wrong?" asked Lacus.

Kira scanned her from top to the bottom and felt weird about something, "Have we ever seen each other before?"

"Sure, yesterday, isn't it?"

"Nah, not that I mean, I mean…ugh…you know, somewhere before?"

"Are you trying to flirt me?" asked Lacus. Suddenly, Kira didn't know what to do, he became wrong act.

"Err….not that what I mean. I mean…it's kind déjà vu, I think I've ever seen you somewhere before, but not yesterday and not here. I wonder…why."

"Well, Hibiki-san."

"Kira is much better."

"I need to go on my work now and I think you should do your own too, right?" said Lacus politely to him.

"I see, it can't be helped. Alright, I'll go. Nice to meet you." Then Kira withdraw himself and went out to his office.

Lacus, on the other hand, smiled sadly then walked quickly to a quiet place when there's nobody around. She took out her cell phone, dialed some numbers and said when someone had picked it up. "It's Lacus."

"Something's wrong?" said a masculine voice from that cell phone.

"Errm…Kira is suspicious about me, but luckily I can get it through."

"I see, keep reporting if there's something wrong. Please watch over Kira."

"Will do, Sir."

"Thank you for cooperating with this operation, Lacus Clyne. Sorry to keep you do something like this."

"It's alright Sir, besides I've some debts with you."

"Ah..one thing, don't call me Sir, just call me my name. It'll be nice."

"Sure, Andrew. I'll keep posting my report." Lacus closed the phone and walked out from that quiet place and went to do her nurse job.


"Looks like, it's not that Kira guy who has some secrets, but also the same goes to her." A guy, the same one who had heard about Kira and Cagalli's secret was watching over Lacus and heard about her conversation with Andrew.

After hearing Kira and Cagalli's secret, he walked away and sat for a moment, thinking of what to do next. Soon, he saw Kira went out from Cagalli's room and followed him unnoticeably then saw he talked with Lacus. After their conversation had done, he decided to follow Lacus, whose face suddenly became worry about something.

"There're many secrets around here. One, that tries to protect someone."

A scene of Cagalli watching Athrun with sadness flashed across on his mind.

"One, that tries to trap someone."

The scene when Kira hugged Cagalli happily because he got something, a secret to trap Vaughn.

"Then which tries to help someone."

The scene of Lacus calling Andrew showed up. The guy closed his eyes then put his hands to each of his pockets on each side of his jeans and walked off from that place.

"It has been 4 hours since Kira had gone. I wonder what's wrong with Cagalli." Stellar murmured slowly as she was still reading the documents.

Shinn looked to her, staring in fact, while Auel was stretching his hand after having done his job, typing on his notebook. The last, Yzak just shrugged his shoulder and stood up then walked to the door. Auel asked him what he was going to do.

"It has reached half past six and I think it's almost the time for us to get home."

"Sure, but without Kira's" Shinn mentioned, but cut off by Yzak.

"You mean, I can't go home even it has already the time without Kira's permission?"

"Well, that's exactly what I mean." Shinn said without feeling guilt or wrong with that statement. Stellar chuckled hearing Shinn said like that and Auel just smiled while Shinn had a smirk on his face.

Yzak growled. He put both of his hands behind his head and leaned on the chair. A couple minutes later, someone opened the door harshly without knocking first. Everyone thought it was Kira, but they were all wrong, it was Andrew.

"Wow, you still here that late?"

"Well, since Shinn said here that we can't go home even it is the time without Kira's permission, so we here decided to stay and wait until he comes." answered Yzak reluctantly. Andrew shook his head and walked towards them. He said, "You can all go home now if you want to, I'll talk to Kira about this and I'm sure he won't have any problem with that."

"Well, then, I think I should go now, someone's waiting for me long enough." Yzak said that as he stood up and took his things then walked through the door. After he gone, Auel stood up after finished typing those documents.

"I'm sure it has dark enough. I should go now." He said and then walked through the door and gone. Now it left Shinn, Stellar and Andrew in that room. There was a deep silence between them until Shinn decided to talk, "Stellar, can you wait me at downstairs for a moment? I want to talk something with Andrew for a moment."

"Sure, I'll wait downstairs." With then, Stellar stood up pulled her chair, waved to Andrew then walked through the door to downstairs.

"Talk to me? Something's wrong?" asked Andrew as he took a chair opposite Shinn. Shinn glared to him and said this in cold tone, "I don't know what you've been thinking nor what you are planning but if you dare to hurt one of them, I'll make sure that you will feel what you haven't felt before."

"Your point?" asked Andrew with a smile although he already known what Shinn mean.

"Before that, who is Lacus?" asked Shinn glaring at him. Andrew surprised then glared him back and asked, "How much do you know?"
