Undeniable Truth
Chapter 10: Healing Touch
Disclaimer: I do not own gundam seed, does that disappoint anyone? It's still my dream to write the script for one though. Maybe one day...
A/N: Welcome back my friends, here comes chapter 10 in my tribute to kira and cagalli. Since we are at the 10 mark the chapter will be extra long (Twice as long at least, maybe three times). Hope you have enjoyed it so far, and hopefully will continue to enjoy it. I will warn you now, in the story there is a lemon…which of course means incest. So yeah, read if you'd like or skip it. But if you have a problem with it, please tell me instead of getting the story deleted please. It would be very considerate.
Dedication: To Inulover4eva (you probally know her), an inspiration all in her own this fic would not even exist without her support and ideas carrying it chapter to chapter. Well you know where I'm going with this, thank you for bringing this fic to life.
The aging leader of Artinal took his seat at the head of the table, kira and cagalli sitting down along the right side. "You looked as surprised about your nicknames as I did when I first heard. The news here enjoys over using them I would say"
At one time kira had found cagallis nickname cute, but when hearing his own he just felt like a heartless murderer "…How would Artinal know about everything anyway? I mean I'm sure your news crews can't just go visit battlefields. You are supposed to be neutral after all."
"That's very true, and although I do try and stop them…a few reporters do tend to sneak off on trading ships. It does provide a good source of information though, and thankfully that information has provided great insight into this war." Cagalli stayed silent for most of the small bits of conversation, takaru always did have a tendency to seem secretive even when she was a child. Every time he would appear to have some broad range of knowledge no one else did, but it did mean he was a great help as well.
Interrupting her brothers attempt to respond she leaned forward in her chair slowly "And what is this so called great insight you found exactly? It could be a great help to us." Smiling takaru gave a short nod, as if he was expecting the question "of course, of course. I found out many small details, but the one major thing I have found is the existence of something far worse than zaft or the earth alliance. Durandal who leads zaft, may have an agenda we do not want to follow but his power is limited. Logos or as you know them, merchants of death appear to manipulate this war on paper…throwing their money around for more profit."
Once again cagalli beat her brother to the punch; her own questions still going unanswered "Yeah I get that, but what do you mean logos appears to manipulate the war? Your avoiding saying something, now spill it!" Sighing softly kira placed his hand on her shoulder "Don't yell at him cagalli, try not to push so hard"
Nodding slightly takaru leaned back in his chair "Oh don't worry, I am used to her temper…I don't take it seriously. And she is right; I was trying to stay away from one piece of information at least for now. But I was going to say it eventually. Logos as I said appears to manipulate this war…but they themselves are manipulated. The real puppet masters of this war are the blood council, or more importantly the head of the council."
Not enjoying the thought of yet another enemy to fight, the hot headed blonde found the idea of coming out of this war the victors, or more importantly alive were quickly getting farther away. How are we supposed to battle the alliance, zaft and this blood council without help…and with kira on the frontlines every time…how long before…? Biting down on her lip slightly she avoided considering that thought any farther. While cagalli collected her thoughts kira finally got a chance to continue the questions "So what's so special about this council? Shouldn't more people know about them if their such a threat"
"The less people know about something, the more of a threat it becomes. This blood council is a collection of nine powerful generals and pilots. They are headed by a man referred to only as commander, but after a lot of digging…and unfortunately a few lost lives we found his true name. General Alexander Isami, he served in the first war with the earth alliance…but they kicked him out due to the utter destruction he caused to both the enemy and their own men."
The act of friendly fire could be found all throughout the first war the worst of which was the JOSH-A incident. You can't get much worse then planting a massive system under a base planned to take out the invading enemy along with there own defense force…who were deemed expendable. With that on their shoulders neither twin could see how they could kick someone out for the same reasons. Although cagalli preferred not to think about the second war being worse than the first, it was a definite possibility "well what kind of military forces do they have?"
Kira was actually kind of surprised by the frown crossing takarus face, it didn't seem like he was angry with cagalli…the expression almost looked as if he was disappointed with himself "Unfortunately…we don't have that information, we do know it is a vast number but if the information we have is correct, their numbers are scattered and hidden in secret facilities all across both sides of this conflict."
The benefit of such hidden numbers was defiantly great, no one knew what kind of army they could field if pressed. "So…unless they deploy we don't have to fight them right?" kiras hopeful statement was shot down within seconds, just by the face the leader made. It really is amazing how you can tell what's on his mind just from his face…complete honesty or a great liar…
"The blood council has established themselves as generals within the alliance with the exception of their commander at least. They hold high ranking positions and can manipulate the forces as they see fit, if they want you gone…they can easily shift the target to you. Although at the moment it doesn't appear they chase you, it might not be long before they throw their battle hardened soldiers right at your throat."
"I don't like the sound of that…" stronger and stronger enemies…more and more destruction. Sighing kira leaned his head back against the hard chair, staring Blankley at the ceiling. Although his sister could defiantly sense the tare in his heart, she could do little more then grasp his hand under the table for comfort. For every life he took she would have to be there to repair what was left of his heart, she understood that very well. "So then what do you suggest we do?"
"Well for now I just want you two to relax! Let me worry about what's going on outside this colony for now, once I can think up a proper plan of attack I would be more than happy to inform you. I would like to remind you I have no plans to enter this war, but if the future calls for it I would ask you to command artinals forces kira…"
That single statement snapped the young pilots head right back up, his eyes bulging towards the smirking leader "W-what was that!?" Chuckling softly takaru enjoyed watching cagallis expression match kiras "it is as I said; if Artinal should be dragged into this war I want you to command are forces."
"But why would you want me, I'm sure you have very capable leaders…and the only commanding experience I have is in Orb during peace time." Nodding his agreement takaru once again turned to look at the portraits on the wall and kira finally understood why. They had to be artinals leaders of the past, wasn't every leader's goal to be as good as the one before him…if not better? "That may be so, but never the less your skills are remarkable…my officers may be able to command battles on a small scale but you would be able to see the larger picture. Besides…if this war expands as I believe…you may find yourself carrying even more responsibility, I believe cagalli can run a country…but she can't lead an army."
Although cagalli definitely wanted to object she knew it was true…instead settling for scowling and grumbling her objections. Sighing softly the twins watched takaru stand up firmly, strolling slowly towards the door. "Unfortunately these meetings have exhausted me…if you wish to speak further it will have to be another day. For now, enjoy yourselves as much as possible." With a polite wave he excused himself, his footsteps echoing down the hall until the steel door finally clicked close.
The two sat in utter silence for a long period of time before cagalli finally got fed up, breaking it herself. "Hey, you alright kira?" With a quick nod of the head his zoned expression changed to a more serious tone. "Of course I am, so come on" Standing kira gently pulled his sister up by their still connected hands, smiling softly. "W-what…where are we going?" pulling her towards the door he just held his earlier smile "you wanted to see the city right? So that's what we are going to do, we can go anywhere you want."
Artinal Military District
The soft patter of footsteps sent rattles through the metal floor to create the only sound in the dark corridor. The dimmest of lights provided just enough sight to follow the twisting path; a few doors filled with silent workers lay in the walls on occasion. "Koji…what are we doing here again?" Star frowned slightly, when she insisted on following him on his errand she had no idea it would lead to the deepest part of artinals factories. When they began they saw people everywhere, working on ships and mobile suits without rest. Now it just seemed like an empty void, whatever was at the end definitely would have to be important.
"I have to meet with someone, I'm sorry I can't tell you more star…" Sighing she shook her head slowly, her personality always lightening around him "No it's ok, I know if you hide something it's for a good reason." Her eyes caught the light leaking from the cracks of a door toward the end of the hallway. As if drawn to it koji's feet fell silent right in front, eyes squinting to scan the small gold plate at the side. "Looks like we're here"
He pushed the door open without effort, star instantly realizing the difference in light as they walked through the doorway. Lights burned endlessly as workers scrambled to do their jobs, a towering figure in the back was covered with a large cloth while a few workers came out from underneath others would disappear beyond the veil. She quickly caught up with koji who had already covered half of the workroom heading towards an office on the far side.
Koji forced the second door open without a knock, walking straight up to the single desk with star close behind. An older man sat perched behind the simple metal desk, one hand striding over his computers keyboard while the other scratched notes down on paper. His eyes never even looked up from his work, a gruff voice the only thing showing star he even noticed "What do you want?"
Scowling koji leaned against the wall, staring intently towards what star had assumed to be a friend of koji's. "Did you finish what I asked for?" A small huff pushed its way through his throat, his pen stopping in mid stroke while the other left the keyboard to grab a pair of glasses at his side. "You've worried your mother sick, and now you walk in here asking for something? Are you at least going to visit her you ungrateful brat"
The small stab seemed to roll right over the calm pilot; his eyes simply watching his father drop the pen and slip his glasses over the bridge of his nose "I was thinking about it, I thought I would pay you a visit first." Star had thought for the longest time his parents were gone, but she could definitely see the resemblance. Did he want people to think his parents were dead…? He obviously doesn't get along with his father…but I don't see why he wouldn't mention him at least.
"Well how considerate of you" his tone spewed sarcasm like venom, if words could kill that simple phrase would have done koji over many times over. "Humph, I'm almost done with your damn project…follow me" he strained himself to stand, slipping past the two of them with a noticeable limp. He lead them towards the covered machine, his strong voice carrying back to them while he walked "I don't see why you want such a thing, a punk like you could never use it…I thought once that pitiful wife of yours was gone you would come back like a good boy. I could have understood if you were blinded by love, but who knew you were so worthless despite that"
Clenching his first tightly koji did his best to fight back the anger surging through his blood "well dad the only thing you were ever good at was building, so I might as well use you for it." Jabs at him were one thing he both expected and could handle from his father, but when he targeted his since deceased wife it hit him hard.
Dropping the subject his father pulled a clipboard from a technician's hand, scanning over it while his feet stalled in front of his project "Humph it's almost done just has a few finishing parts, this thing took up a lot of artinals resources. But you wouldn't care about this colony anymore I suppose. Hopefully after this you will stop bothering me with your selfish requests."
"Yeah, I may just do that…see you later" as quickly as they came, they were out the door with koji in a much worse mood. "Koji…" Continuing down the hallway he released the faintest of sighs "Look I know what you want to know, and yeah I do want people to think their…gone. I've made enemies, and if anything happened to my mother…"
Showing a hint of a smile she grabbed his hand quickly to pull him forward "Why don't you introduce me to her then, you seem to like her more" looking up at her he couldn't help but laugh, his free hand rubbing the back of his head "Sure why not, but we need to grab something to eat first…I'm starved"
Artinal City
The twins agreed to split up to gather there things, drop them off at the government building and even find out about Artinal from a few guides before meeting at a giant fountain in what appeared to be a town square. The fountain spewed water in a sparkling stream, raining down in the oversized bowl. Kira was the first to get there surprisingly, quickly finding out there wasn't much information to gather aside from what was already told to them but also dealing with an official break up with lacus. He had seen her so little it was hard to find the time to end it for real, and although he approached it as well as he could she still looked troubled. She kept her classic smile but it was much sadder, and unlike flay who screamed at him she simply said her farewells and went off without indicating how upset she actually was. Kira on the other hand felt guilt cling to him on several occasions but it had to be done.
"I hope she's ok…" He leaned back against the cement side to the fountain while the sound of spraying water filled his ears. Trying to remove the sad thoughts from his mind kira examined the city through small glances. It really was quite an amazing city, from the lights to the people. The war didn't even seem to touch the peaceful expressions on the population…of course he saw the same thing on orbs citizens before the attack. "I hope Artinal doesn't suffer the same fate…"
"Hey stop talking all gloom and doom!" Frowning cagalli came up beside him, refraining from hitting him over the head. Although she still had her classic attitude being with kira was defiantly loosening her up at least a bit. "Were out here to have a bit of fun, not talk about battles got it? So what did you find out?"
With the slightest smile he nodded "yes mam and I didn't find out much. I just kept getting history lessons on the colonies construction…"
"Well…I guess it's not important anyway. Let's explore then, come on!" Yanking kira forward by his arm he quickly forced himself to keep her pace, fearing she might take his arm off. "Ouch! Calm down a bit cagalli…" he let out a small sigh as she loosened her grip with a mumbled apology.
"Stop being a baby and I wouldn't have to loosen up" although she was happy to have the time with kira, she did want to know more about Artinal. All she kept getting was city facts…nothing about their military. She needed to know if they were repeating orbs policies. When orb declared neutrality and kept making weapon including some for the earth alliance, it led to its downfall and the death of her father. If Artinal did the same…damit I don't want another orb! Please takaru…don't be making orbs mistakes. Neither of the two knew there thoughts crossed each other.
She hadn't even noticed when kira finally started walking at her side to remove her need to pull him, but she did snap back into reality when his arm went around her waist to pull her against him. The surprise turned her cheeks red almost instantly "K-kira what if someone sees us…" it amazed her to see his leaps of courage on occasion.
Smiling he just pulled her closer "You look upset, so I think I'll risk it…" her head dropped to his shoulder with her defeat, of course it wasn't a battle she wished to win. Her mind calmed down and distanced itself from the same gloomy thoughts she tried to get kira to stop with. The two walked through the city for a good part of the day, simply looking at all the sights and occasionally stopping at a few stands. Although it seemed they would get a peaceful day alone, they picked the wrong window to walk past.
Just as they passed a little café, the door flew open with an energetic hand waving "Yo kid! Where do you think you two are running off to? You guys eloping or something else?" The twins stopped instantly, pulling away flushed. "K-koji! Oh uh…we were just seeing the city, and cagalli got cold…and"
Cagalli was the first to regain herself, sighing at her brothers pathetic attempt to cover them "Look we were walking around the city; you got a problem with that?" The less they said the better; something simple like hers would beat the stuttered excuse of her brother. He looked so cute trying to explain himself while embarrassed though…She had to force back a small snicker while repeating the event in her head.
Turning towards the stubborn cagalli the captain simply shrugged "well then come on in and grab something to eat will you! I tried to find you guys before you left, but it was a no go." His form retreated back through the door, kiras chuckle catching cagallis ear "What's so funny?"
"Oh…well nothing, I just can't believe koji can always have so much energy. He's so…carefree. Well want to go in?" Sighing she looked through the window to see the captain sit next to the ice cold star, who actually seemed to be enjoying herself. "I guess so…" imagine that, the ice queen can smile…
With slight more confusion kira had to tilt his head slightly to see his sisters face through the falling bangs "You guess so? Are you mad or something…?" Scowling she slipped through the door, quickly followed by her brother "I'm not mad!"
The two sat down across from their allies, kiras mind running over the event outside to try and figure out what he did this time. Did I not do something…? Maybe she didn't want to come in here… I don't get girls…Although things progressed fine, and cagalli lightened up between the meal and conversation he couldn't stop feeling guilty.
Finally deciding to do something about it kira quickly stood up from the table "Hey um koji…I saw this really cool relic at this little shop, I thought you might want to see it" although cagalli seemed to buy it he could tell she was trying to remember what might have peaked his interest. Even if she did decide he was up to something she would never guess what, the only thing he needed was for koji to agree.
Always one to enjoy a good find koji considered it for a moment "well I suppose it wouldn't hurt to take a look but don't let me buy it." He was on his feet in moments and heading to the door soon after "you girls play nice now." Kira turned to cagalli instantly "We should be back in a minute, you two stay here" his feet rushed him to the door before an objection could ruin his plan.
Once the boys had left it was rather uncomfortable while silence engulfed the two girls. Attempting to make conversation cagalli rattled her brain for something to say "So…things have been hectic lately huh?" Going back to her usual personality star only gave a slow nod, her hand slowly stirring her soda with a straw. Cagalli was hit with utter confusion as star quickly got up "come on." Deciding following was better then being left alone waiting, the completely lost blonde left with star.
Artinal streets-kira
Kira had gone a good distance before koji finally started wondering what exactly was so important to see. "So…where is this thing you want me to see?" Finally remembering koji was with him kira came to a stop, turning around with a nervous smile "Well um…you see, I sort of lied"
Amazingly koji didn't seem too shocked by the whole thing "Well alright, what did you really need to do?" Standing there for several moments he attempted to remember where the store was actually located "I need to…buy something, just needed an excuse to leave" scanning the streets kira finally took down one particularly crowded road, slipping past people carefully. His eyes glanced over each sign carefully, finally noticing the small one hidden between several boxes.
Koji watched the young pilot hunt down the shop and eventually run off into it. When he finally joined him inside he discovered a jewelry store "hey kid, what in the world do you need to buy here?" Koji followed him around the store while kira continually searched the glass cases "is this a present for someone?"
"Yeah…I just…well I want to get something." Kira was amazed how easily koji adapted to situations, quickly beginning to point out different rings a girl might like. "Oh! What about this one? It's a bit pricey but the stone is really nice, what's your budget anyway? Certain kind of stone you want?"
He scanned the rings pointed out briefly but none of them fit what he wanted, he needed something special. "Well um…I didn't really set a budget...I've been saving some of my money since the last war…I don't usually buy much." He felt strange buying a ring for cagalli, and it was hard to picture the kind she might want.
"So…are you planning to propose to a girl or something?" The way kiras face lit up was priceless, his hands waving to instantly dismiss it "N-no! I mean…well, I don't really think it's possible for me to consider that" What kind of priest in their right mind would let siblings marry? "Besides I don't think she would want that yet…"
"Sooo…who's she, that pink haired girl you were going out with?" When he hesitantly gave a shake of the head koji continued to try and guess during kiras long search. Ignoring koji's guesses for the most part kira finally pointed to a ring "What do you think of that one koji…?"
The older pilot stepped up to examine the choice instantly, a short whistle sliding past his lips "I suppose it's nice but don't you think it's kind of expensive for not being an engagement ring?" It was a simple ring with a titanium band that seemed to be hit by the light perfectly, the top winding around a flawless blue sapphire perfectly fitting the rings look. Two small crescent diamonds closed in the blue stone, increasing the brilliance of it.
For kira platinum was the only way to go, it was more expensive than gold but was tough just like cagalli. He had originally searched for a complete diamond ring but in the end the sapphire looked like such a good fit between the smaller diamonds. "It's a bit I suppose, but I think I like it…"
"Well then get it! I just hope the girl likes it, considering your buying her a ring like that with no plans of marriage…personally I wouldn't spring for it." Chuckling slightly kira gently rang the service bell "She's special…besides I can't see you springing for any stone larger than a piece of dust"
"Yeah well I don't have that kind of money to blow…" He eyed the tall woman exiting the back to assist the teen "May I help you gentlemen?" Kira quickly pointed out the ring he wished to purchase and the saleswoman's eye glowed upon seeing it.
"That one is it? Oh wonderful! We just got that one in, it really is a beautiful setting and I don't usually like sapphires." Her hand whipped out a key which unlocked the delicate glass case. She removed the ring from the case, placing it down in the teen's hands for further inspection.
Although he had no experience with jewelry kira felt it was the right one to buy, and if he knew cagalli she would like it. "I'll take it" not one to carry around too much cash he had the money taken directly from his account and although buying the ring pretty much emptied it kira was fine with it.
It was only moments after when the two strolled out of the store, kira with a small bag firmly gripped in his hand. "Well that was interesting, but can we head back to the café now kira?" With an excited nod kira spent the time trying to decide when and how to give it to her.
Artinal Streets-cagalli
The two girls had walked several blocks before cagalli finally had the thought to figure out where they were going. "Hey so, where the hell are we going anyway? You can't just drag me around" Her feet kept the hurried pace of star with a small degree of difficulty, having not expected to have to walk so fast. "Just…somewhere"
"That's not an answer; just tell me where we're going will you?" Her temper raised slightly with the lack of answer, the next attempt coming with some degree of attitude. It wasn't long before star gave in with an annoyed sigh looking back at the tomboy. "We are going to get you a dress to impress that brother of yours"
Cagalli's eyes just about shot out of her head, jaw dropping at the older girls blatant knowledge of her relationship with kira "W-why would I want to impress him!" the futile attempt to deny the obvious had star rolling her eyes. She was a very observant person and nothing ever slipped by her notice. She saw the way they fought, how he teased her about being a boy and even noticed their change when it became a relationship. Getting something by her took a lot of work.
"I'm no fool like most, I can see what's going on just fine and I guarantee you once we get you a nice dress he will never even consider thinking of you as a boy again" not a single objection cagalli threw towards star got her out of such an event, and even though she didn't quite enjoy buying a dress nor wearing one…she did like the idea of kiras light hearted jokes about her looking like a boy stopping.
They entered a small clothing shop a few blocks later and within seconds star had located the dresses. Although cagalli did own a dress or two in orb for formal occasions, she had practically abandoned them once she became head representative. She now only had to wear her orb uniform in social situations. She watched as the blue haired vixen went through the dresses with insane speed, dismissing most of them with only short glances.
In moments she had shoved several in cagallis arms right before pointing out a dressing room. After a small argument she was off to try them on with mumbles carrying swears. She tried on dresses of all kinds and colors, and although she would admit she looked alright in some of them cagalli would never want to wear one. By the time she retreated from the small room she was handed one final dress.
The dress was an elegant blue that fit just perfect, gently hugging the body to show a bit of the curves of cagallis body. It was a mostly plain dress which cagalli was more than happy with, finding most complicated ones a waste of money and an eye sore. The only design was the slight pattern spiraling around. The back was open with straps going over her shoulders. Cagalli had barely exited the dressing room when star clapped her hands together "Perfect!" Although cagalli did think it was sort of nice she didn't think a dress would help her much. I bet she picked blue just because she likes it…I mean blue hair and all.
"Uh…but, are you sure I even need one… when would I even wear it?" Sighing stars head shook slowly "a girl doesn't need a special time to wear a dress, wear it when you think it's best to." When cagalli finally agreed to take the dress she discovered star had already paid for it, and even refused to accept pay back from cagalli. The stubborn blonde fought all the way back trying to get star to accept the money. For once in her life cagallis stubbornness had been outmatched, and it pissed her off.
The rest of the day through the town seemed to go perfect, cagalli forcing star to hold onto her dress to hide it from kira while her brother chickened out several times to give her the ring. Courage was one thing he failed to have most of the time, but it was defiantly something he needed to get. Considering he had been pretty good for most of the day, he decided it had to be given to her today at some point. It wasn't until the two had separated from the koji and star and gotten into a car escort that cagalli finally noticed the extreme nervousness of her brother.
"Hey what's up with you? You're acting all…jumpy and anxious." Staring out the window for a moment kira found he couldn't avoid it forever. Turning his head towards his impatient sister his hand fiddled with the small box in his pocket.
"Well? Aren't you going to say something about it kira?" Her voice carried a bit more of her temper, the idea of him hiding something from her not sitting well. Geez what is up with him? What could he possibly have to be nervous about!
"Oh…sorry, um I was just thinking. When I went off with koji…I kinda picked you up something…" cagallis eyes lightened slightly while showing slight surprise. "You…got me something? What is it…?" She could see him biting his bottom lip, debating whether or not to actually give it to her. He must really want me to like his gift.
Taking a deep breath kira pressed his lips against her own in a passionate kiss, her own body pressing forward into it almost instantly. There lips remained lock in a heated connection, driving cagalli to the peak of insanity. Kira rarely started a kiss, but when he did it was always something special. His hand carefully slipped the ring into her hand, his own slowly guiding her to grasp the small present that she didn't even notice through kiras timely actions.
He withdrew from her lips slowly, watching her noticeably flushed cheeks from the unexpected attention. Her tongue traced her lips slightly before feeling the ring press into her palm from her grip. Kiras anticipation grew quickly watching her hand slowly open, her beautiful amber eyes growing large from the realization.
"Um…I thought you might like it. I just wanted to show you I'm committed to you and I love you." He didn't know what to think when a few tears welled up in those amber eyes he loved. The only thing he saw was her grip the ring again before tackling him in the back of the car, his head pressing back against the window as he struggled to return the sudden and intense kiss.
Cagalli felt her whole body shiver from the excitement of the moment, lips assaulting his with increasing passion. Every time he returned one of her kisses she felt special all over again, a renewed sense of acceptance from something she had long dubbed unattainable because of their sibling status. She felt his hands slide up her arms and eventually cup her cheeks, hands slowly caressing with a gentle touch before sliding back through her golden locks.
By the time she released him he was gasping for air with hands still tangled in her hair. Their eyes locked for what seemed like eternity, his sister's eyes letting off an extreme amount of passion. "D-do you like it…?" Despite the moment cagalli couldn't hold back the small chuckle, burying her head in the crook of his neck before sliding the ring onto her finger it even fits! The lug knew my ring size "Of course I do you dummy…but you know that was the first time you said you loved me…"
His arms locked comfortably around her while her body kept him pinned down against the car. The artificial sunset sat beautifully outside the window but neither one noticed, to absorbed with each other to even care. Neither one of them considered the fact the driver might feel very uncomfortable. "Was it…? Are you sure about that?" When he was sure that was right a sad smile washed over him for failing to tell her such a basic thing. "I'm sorry cagalli…I didn't realize"
"I don't care…you said it so it's fine." She could never explain how insanely wonderful she felt, nor would she. Kira had not only told her such a simple yet meaningful phrase, but had given her such a beautiful ring to seal their relationship. She found herself staring into the sapphires blue depths, mesmerized by the gem as she pictured him picking out something just for her. Cagalli was not one to get sentimental, but she thought it was a good enough time to be.
They stayed like that for the rest of the ride except for cagallis occasional kiss to his neck. Eventually the car came to a silent halt, the driver turning back to look towards the adorable couple "Excuse me, I hate to disturb you but we're here." With great reluctance cagalli pulled herself off of kira, allowing him to leave the car before she followed out the same door. Giving the driver a thank you cagalli nudged her brother to do the same, watching the car drive off before turning towards the government building.
Takaru had kindly offered the two ships crew's rooms in the government building normally meant for political guests and other important people. The two entered the massive building, watching the people rush about in the busy lobby. Earlier it seemed busy but no more than a small business might be, now it was dangerous to take a step without looking all around you.
Kira approached the desk where a kind woman quickly fumbled in a drawer and withdrew a keycard, inviting the young couple to follow her to the room. "You two really are lucky, the rooms are really nice. Takaru told me to expect you so all your things have already been brought up. I was told only to expect one person per room though…"
Sighing softly kira asked politely "Um…is it still ok if we share a room? I'd rather not take up two of your rooms and I'd much rather have her stay with me…" while cagallis cheeks flushed slightly the woman gave a small laugh "Oh my it is fine, I can see why a young little couple like yourself would only want one room…you two just look so cute together" kira could hardly believe yet another people thought them a couple so quickly, at least it was true now.
Once they arrived in front of the neatly polished wood door, she slid the small keycard through the doors security lock. A soft click was heard just before the door popped open just slightly. Gently pulling it open they were lead inside where their guide placed the keycard on top of a large oak burrow without a single flaw. "Well you two enjoy yourselves" She slipped out without a sound and closed the door right behind her.
The two shared a quick glance before exploring something that could be counted as a first class hotel room. The bed was large and comfortable, proven by cagalli who sat down and bounced on it. Kira took a peek at the decently sized bathroom before exploring the bedroom again. The bed was centered along the north wall with the door opposite of it. A mirror and small table lay against the right side with the burrow right next to it. There was a small television off to the left, lined up to be viewed from the beds pillows. A dimmed light touched every corner of the room with its gentle light, while two lamps and a few candles lay around in case someone wanted more.
A couple of scenic pictures depicting beautiful rivers or mountains hung perfectly on the wall. Slipped off his shoes and socks kira tested the rug, finding it to both blend in with the room and feel nice on the feet. "Wow this place is great" nodding her agreement cagalli gave a small grin "With the way the day has been going I wouldn't expect anything less" her eyes examined the ring firmly set on her finger one last time, a smile easily finding its way forward.
Their travel bags were found next to the bed, but since they weren't sure how long their stay in Artinal would be they only placed them next to the burrow in case of having to leave soon. While cagalli continued to explore the drawers and cabinets of the room she felt kiras arms circle tightly around her waist, drawing her back against him.
Ahem, lemon ahead people. You may skip to the end authors note if you wish, but please review!
Although not surprised cagalli did find herself a bit curious, he never really was too quick to act affectionate "Kira..?" Her back lay comfortably against his chest, her head leaning back against his shoulder "Can I help you?"
His usual soft smile was still there but it was slightly different from usual, she just couldn't place it. "What's up with you?" Lips descended on her own instantly, quickly devouring hers in the quick strike. Returning it viciously cagalli tried to recapture the control and was losing horribly. It was uncommon for kira to start anything passionate and even rarer for him to take and keep control.
By the time he pulled his lips from hers he could see her cheeks flushed along with slightly harder breathing. Smiling slightly kira placed a slight kiss on her forehead, drawing a scowl from the beautiful face "What…? Wanted something more like this?" He placed a soft kiss against her before a second frown compelled him to assault her lips once again.
Her hand moved up to the side of his head, sliding back through his hair before resting against his cheek. She didn't know why such a simple yet powerful kiss got her so excited, or why he was even teasing her like he was. All she did know was her lips was practically quivering from the feeling he sent through her. The feeling soon spread down her body with an agonizingly slow pace, her cheeks flushed brighter by the time he pulled away again. "Kira…"
Without warning he leaned down slightly to brush his lips over her neck, placing gentle kisses along the burning flesh. It really did amaze him how warm her body was, but not more than the way her lips curved through a quiet moan. Her hand lazily slid to the back of his head holding desperately to him. He continued to travel along her neck, sliding his teeth over the smooth skin before sucking softly. A second moan slid through her causing a small grin to cross kiras face.
Cagalli could hardly breathe through the sheer passion of the moment, the only air through the small pants her body kept through. Unable to handle the devilish teasing of her brother she turned quickly, pressing her lips into his gently. Since when am I the gentle kisser..? God he's driving me insane! The way he kissed her made it seem like they completely switched places, causing her to feel extremely vulnerable. Of course that wasn't necessarily a bad thing…
His hands moved up to her cheeks in a soft caress, her own arms latching possessively around his neck through the quickly intensifying kiss. Kira found himself being slowly pushed backward, feet losing ground until he felt them hit the side of the bed. In one swift fall they landed on the bed with a bounce, a mess of limbs tangled through the still unbroken kiss.
Drawing back slightly cagalli pierced his violet eyes with her own amber ones, a mix of emotions passing between them in the brief contact. Lowering herself into another kiss cagalli felt kira's arms slide around her back tenderly. Her hands moved from the bed to his chest sliding under the shirt he wore slowly. The control had finally shifted back to her, but that didn't help her body feel any less excited.
She trailed her hands up his chest slowly enjoying the lean feel of it. Despite the fact she was positive kira didn't do much to work out, he did have quite a bit of muscle. Mm…must be from all the grunt work he does in the hanger…not that I'm complaining. Her fingers hooked within the fabric of the shirt, drawing it upwards during her exploration before sliding it off all together.
Kiras hands shot up to grab cagallis and with a rapid twist he reversed the control once again, taking the top position while pinning her hands above her head. Squirming slightly cagalli let out a low groan "Kira!" he silenced her with a swift kiss, tracing her lower lip with his tongue slowly. Her lips parted in a slight moan giving him room to move into her mouth. Within seconds cagalli was battling his tongue feverishly with her own, unable to control her own basic instincts never mind her suddenly aggressive brother.
By the time he withdrew they were short on breathe, panting softly as their eyes locked again. They didn't need words to decide if the other had a protest or not, the way their eyes glazed over spoke enough to say they were enjoying it.
Kira returned once again to her neck, placing wet kisses along both sides. For cagalli he worked at a torturously slow pace, and would defiantly say it was on purpose. He was easily able to force low moans from her, and he enjoyed listening to it as well. His hands moved along her sides, peeling her tank top off her body without a once of resistance.
His hands slid along the bare skin of her stomache heading up farther before cagalli let out a frustrated groan "Damit I'll do it!" With a small chuckle kira leaned back to watch her shaking hands unclasp her bra with no small amount of annoyance. The smaller garment fell off the bed moments later; kiras lips pressing firmly against hers in what others would call twisted desire. His eyes met hers once more just before his head moved farther down, kissing down the front of her neck before heading down the valley of her breasts.
From that small eyes contact cagalli finally discovered the difference in kira since it first started, the slight change in his smiles and eyes was lust…something she could relate very well with. She suddenly felt a lack of barrier between them, there were no hidden emotions or thoughts and neither could hide something if they wanted to. Everything between them became intertwined together in the greatest of sense; forever connecting them in the emotion they call love.
Although her mind didn't quite notice how he teased her body, drawing his lips over her stomache and placing slow kisses along her bellybutton her body sure did. Back arching her absent eyes stayed focused on him, watching while he moved back up. His kisses moved up her left breast, easily snapping cagallis mind back to reality just in time to feel his lips close over the pert nipple.
A long gasp passed through her, back arching even more as wide eyes slowly calmed from the surprise "K-kira!...that's…oh god" he sucked tenderly on her breast, flicking the nipple with his tongue occasionally evoking a much louder moan from cagalli. Her body shook slightly while he toyed with her, nibbling gently on her throbbing breast. Despite the force she held his head with he moved to the other breast, giving the same treatment to the right one.
Biting down on her lip cagalli still couldn't hold back the increasingly louder moans. Within a minute he withdrew from her breast, about to kiss back down her body before her hands yanked him back up to a desperate kiss. To his surprise her hands moved instantly to the button of his pants, blindly working at it with increasing anger. It was obvious she wouldn't let him take his time any longer.
Chuckling softly at his sister's state he pulled from her lips, kissing her cheek for a moment before helping her out before she hurt him. Moving her hands aside he undid and removed the obstacle quickly, making things much more comfortable for his now painfully hard length.
His hands slid down her sides to her own jeans deciding not to make the flustered girl wait much longer. Kira undid the button with a bit more struggle before sliding them down while letting his hands trail down her soft thighs. For a girl who acted so tough she definitely had a very feminine body.
For once kira moved back to fully examine her almost bare body, from her flushed and desperate face to her muscular but very enticing legs. She did have more muscle than most girls, but it was hidden well under her curves. He noticed her arms slide up to cover her body, a slightly childlike pout filling in her embarrassed face "Why are you staring at me!?"
With a small chuckle he kissed her forehead affectionately "no reason cagalli, you're just the most beautiful girl I've ever seen…" although even more embarrassed than before her hands slid back down to her sides, noticeably less worried. "T-that's not true" smiling he enjoyed how nervous she seemed to be "Of course it is, no one could replace you."
Her hands moved to his cheeks slowly, pulling him down into another fierce kiss. He returned it with full devotion, enjoying the passionate embrace. His own hand moved silently along her skin, trailing his fingers over it until he reached her breast. Closing over the mound he caressed it slowly, holding his sisters strong kiss.
His free hand moved down to her core, stroking between her legs before sliding down her panties with no small amount of difficulty. He was only able to get it below her knees but she quickly maneuvered her legs in a way to kick it off. Pulling free of the kiss moments later he gasped for air slightly, staring down at her sprawled out body once again. With both of them becoming increasingly impatient kira decided it best to quench both of their painful urges.
From the increasing nervousness of his sister kira made a quick deduction. Kissing up her neck with quick kisses he found his way to her ear, whispering softly "Cagalli…? Have you ever…?" Her head looked off to the side causing kira to smile softly. "I see…than are you sure about this?"
Sighing cagalli felt a bit overwhelmed with how easily he figured it out; in truth she was just going to conveniently not mention it. She had no doubt about what happened between him and flay, the bitch had been bragging about it in the lounge the day after to a few friends. She was expecting pain yes, but nothing she couldn't handle right? It did make her feel better to see him worrying about her, despite the pained look in his eyes from holding himself back. "Yeah, but you better be gentle" They could commit a sin, a sin neither of them could give a damn about by this point. They could pursue their relationship to every point with no regrets, ignoring society's rules for something that went so far beyond that.
Her brother chuckled softly at her demand while placing a soft kiss at her lips "Your never gentle with me…but I will be" He wasn't that experienced, but he at least knew enough. His breathing became increasingly shallow as his fingers intertwined with hers. Locking his eyes on her own she gave him a small nod just before he thrusted into her quickly. Her initial scream covered the room just before she sunk her teeth into his shoulder, back arching greatly while a tear or two found their ways to her still strongly defiant eyes. His own was shut from a mix of small pain in his shoulder to the tight feeling engulfing him.
He followed with slow thrusts, causing her body to jump slightly. His hands remained holding his sisters while his lips left reassuring kisses in the valley of her breasts in between their gentle bounces. He moved out slowly, plunging back in slightly harder causing his recovering sister to let out a gasp and push her hips up against his own. The decision to take things slow for kira did not come easy, but he kept pushing slow thrusts despite the enticing feeling of her closing around him.
Moans slipped through her lips with ease, scattered versions of his name following as his thrusts continued with a bit more force. Her hips forcibly ground into his own, bucking into him in tune with his thrusts. "Kira…kira…ugh please!" Not one to disobey the desperation of his sister as the pain fully passed her he began to slam himself to her at an increasingly fast pace. His hands broke off of her own, one grasping her hip while the other moved to a furiously bouncing breast, caressing quickly. Her own hands grasped onto his shoulders, pushing in with each new thrust. If her nails had been longer it would defiantly leave marks. Moans became increasingly loud, borderline screaming barely being masked by his own groans.
"Kira! Oh god!" He quickly found control slipping, moving inside her at a near frantic pace while he continued to feel insanely close to exploding right there. He adored the way her body made him feel, the intense please as they bonded together with each powerful thrust. They were both working with all the speed they could, pushing their hips together desperately. "K-kira!"
"Cagalli!" They both came in an instant, reaching their peak. He shot himself into her just as she herself released around him, body's shaking and squirming against each other in the final moments of their ecstasy. There exhausted body's found air only through rough gasps, kiras overworked form losing the strength in his arms till he eventually collapsed onto her, head burying itself against her shoulder. Her arms hooked weakly around his back, both clinging and holding him as she enjoyed the quiet nothings he whispered towards her. "Cagalli…I love you"
Her smile came with some degree of force, the muscles in her body aching and needing sleep. "I love you to…so much…god" It wasn't long till she felt the soft breaths against her ear, a gentle smile crossing her lips just before she shifted her body slightly. "I think I could stay like this forever…" with a blissful sigh her eyes drifted to a close, any form of a blanket long forgotten as they shared the warmth's of their body's. Sleep came easy that night.
End of lemon and chapter by the way.
A/N: Well um…did anyone enjoy this chapter? It was more light hearted then most of mine, giving the characters a break from the usual hectic battles. The OOC for kira and cagalli that was present to some degree is on purpose, showing sort of how their personalities are meshing. You don't have any obligation to read the next part. I'm going to hold my breath untill ym first review, so please if you have the time i'd love to hear your thoughts, opinions, ideas and criticisms.
A Mind of an Author
As I said in the last chapter I would be using this to answer questions, talk about the current chapter, and about myself. Nothing about an author should be hidden from their reader's right? Well anyway let me start by talking about star. I showed in this chapter how perceptive she is, while also showing she has a lighter side around the people she trusts. She even loosened up a bit around cagalli, where yes…she got a dress. I was going to go with green, but it's been done. As for kira's break-up with lacus, I omitted the actual scene (which yes I had written) because it just didn't have any relevance to the story. Neither athrun nor lacus really has much importance with things, plus I as I may have mentioned am not fond of athrun. He's always so confused while kira had things figured out by the end of gundam seed. Athrun takes like…two full series just to see things. Lacus although I don't mind her, once again has no point in the story…and I like cagalli better.
As you can see from the lemon, whether good or bad I do enjoy this couple immensely incest or not. More of koji's carefree side was shown, but you can see a bit of family trouble background. The ring…was well; I came up with it myself. I don't know what some think but I liked it…since they can't get married (yet at least, I'll see what I can do) kira needed a way to show how much she meant to him. It's like a non-engagement engagement you know? Ha I confuse you? Well anyway considering koji saw the ring; chances are he may see cagalli wearing it. So considering that, their secret is beginning to break. The blood council is another of my inventions, and you have already seen them (think back).
Alright this part will be about me or things with no revelation to the fanfic….so yeah, even fewer obligations to read this part. Anyway I'll start by mentioning something I saw in my anime magazine. Kira took the number one male character spot! Athrun took number three, and for the girls lacus took spot 1 and cagalli took spot three (sooo unfair). As for personal news, I have finally completed my top five anime! This is a big achievement for me. So let me share them with you.
1.) Onegai(Please) Teacher
2.) Gundam Seed/Destiny(I loop them together)
3.) Fate Stay/Night
4.) Shakugan no Shana.
5.) FullMetal Alchemist
Anyone have a similar or related line-up? Or maybe even one of them in your top 5? If not that's fine to! Of course you can share them with me even if you don't have a single one of them, I just like hearing from people! Well anyway this concludes everything since I didn't really have much news for you. Heh well have a great day!
The End-Of Chapter 10
