Chapter 10
Father and Son
Clyne's Dojo
"THAT'S WHY I ASKED, WHO THE HELL ARE THEY?!?!" the morning sun was disturbed by a yelling from an angry blonde.
Kira and the others reflexively shut their ears. But Lacus and Yzak is the different way. Lacus was busy to heal Yzak's wound from last battle. And now she was attend the scar in his face. Before that, she was healed most of Kira and the other's wounds. So they feel a little healthy now. except for the fact this time they'll have a more serious wound for the next battle that awaits them in the near future. But Kira know he must tell his golden sister now, or they'll having a hard time because can't hear anything for a while.
"They are… ouch… Organization XIII…" hear the suspect, Cagalli yell once again, break Kira's ears
"So, they are the one who after Lacus?!" Cagalli still yelled
"Why are you so desperate about?" Athrun asked while rub his ears.
Cagalli shot him a glare that make Athrun sweat bullet. "I can't remove the annoyed feeling from the last night, idiot!"
Last Night, With Athrun and Cagalli
"Sayonara…"
Finally the line passed the spot where Athrun and Cagalli were standing. But before they could react, they froze and became a motionless ice…
"huh, how weak. They even…" before he could finish. He felt a sharp feeling from his back and smirk while break Athrun and Cagalli ice statue
"KageMizuBunshin… so, you do have a sharp instinct, haven't you, blue guy?" he said facing Athrun and almost fainted Cagalli on his shoulder. Athrun can make it evade his blow, but Cagalli didn't as sharp as Athrun. So her torso sustained a little damage. Because it's the ice damage, it attack has effected her lungs. And now she having a hard time to breathe
Athrun put Cagalli on a safe spot and face him while unsheathed his sword. "who the hell are you?" he said in calm yet hard voice
"you can tell from my appearance, can't you?" he said
Athrun set a defensive easel, 'what's with this guy? Iga? Koga? No, they're different. I've never seen such a monstrous jutsu like that. if we late to evade even for a second, we can't stand a chance of survive…' Athrun though deeply
"what? Are you confused about something?" Dem'ix said. Athrun can't decide what he can do now
"are… you the guy from Organization XIII?" Athrun ask stuttered.
Dem'ix smirk before he answered, "looks like the brunette protector has said to you guys, huh? If that's the case, it'll be easier now. then, lets play!" he charged towards Athrun. Athrun blocked his fast slash completely. before he could even counter his attack, Dem'ix stab his Sitar to the ground and make a ice pillar before him and Athrun. Athrun, who take a shocked from the pillar can't do anything but just evade it by jumping to his back, leaving his front line opened for a second. Before he could touch his feet to the ground, another dragon-ice like crashed him and rend his front side. He winched in pain. Again, before he could collapse and fell to the ground, Dem'ix from nowhere was stand beside him and slashed his back.
"not so fast, Leviathan!" he said when slash Athrun's back with his Sitar. And, kick his torso with his knee. And finally, Athrun's body can fell to the ground. But unfortunately, Athrun can't stand again that easily.
'my… ribs… broke…?' questioned Athrun who lay almost unconscious.
Dem'ix stared at him sternly, "huh! That's all? I can't believe you can bear such a great power in your soul with such a self power. Maybe I'll play with the other one now" he said referring to Cagalli who can barely stand now.
Dem'ix walked slowly to Cagalli, take his time while enjoyed the pressure.
He stand before her, and grab her neck. "hee… you're pretty cute. Unfortunately you're on enemy's side."
Cagalli grab his hand, trying to release herself from his clutch. But useless with her current condition, "what the…?"
"how about joining our side? We'll gladly accept, you know." Dem'ix said.
Hear that, Cagalli raised her hand and pointed him with her middle finger, "eat… my ass…"
Dem'ix frowned to hear that sudden mockery from a half conscious kunoichi. He smirked and slammed her to the ground. Cagalli hit ground hard and almost shouted in pain. She was unable to stand now. Dem'ix pointed his Sitar towards her and said, "looks like I must give you a lesson."
"what… are you gonna… do?" Athrun was trying to stand. But in his present state, its impossible he thought. But yet, he's just being stubborn
Dem'ix turn his face to Athrun. He smiled and covered his Sitar with his Ice. "don't worry. I wont kill her. I just want to rip his right hand off from her. That is the punishment for annoyed me."
Athrun's eyes widened in shocked, and so Cagalli. But she don't have time for react. Before she knew it, Dem'ix was pointed his Sitar and begin to slash her right hand. Cagalli shut her eyes and expect a sudden pain of slash. But all she knew was…
TRANGG…!
…a sudden cover from someone. When she slowly opened her eyes, she found him, Athrun Zala stand before her and block Dem'ix Sitar with his katana. Cagalli and Dem'ix feel the same shocked. Athrun just still kneel in block and don't say a word. From what Dem'ix see, his face is so calm. But all he saw was his lips. His eyes were covered with his messy hair. Finally, Dem'ix take few step back and recovered fast.
Athrun stood too and finally opened his mouth. "if you shed a drip of her blood in front of me…"
Athrun paused for a second. And straightened his face to face him
"…I'll kill you!" he added. Dem'ix can saw his eyes now. but what he saw was far from he expected. He saw a green bottomless pit of his eyes, and a strange aura that surround him. Almost form a blue serpent like. When he saw to those eyes, his body shook a bit. 'don't tell me… Seed?!´ he thought.
Cagalli who was still behind Athrun's face, have no idea of what's going on.
Dem'ix knew he'll get the challenge he expected. So he decided to wait for it
"HA HA HA! Interesting, blue guy! You got my praise. I never expected it'll be turned out like this. Those eyes… I'll wait for that to come again, in our next meeting." He said with smile on his lips.
'eyes? Whose eyes? Did he mean…' thought Athrun. Then he rubbed his eyes, but felt nothing wrong on it.
Dem'ix smiled at his sudden confusion. After he felt enough for now, he begin retreating with their trademark Aura. Athrun realized that he'll run again, "you want to run?!" he shouted
"don't provoke me like that… its just temporary retreat. Besides, you guys will come over our place, soon…" with that, he disappeared.
After Cagalli felt the tension finally gone, she felt a bit relieved that both of them were saved. But for that, her sight begin darken. All she know for the last time before she fainted was a pair of cold eyes who face her and somebody running to her.
"Cagalli!" was the last word she heard from Athrun. She smiled that yet again, he saved her…
End of flashback
"Guys… that's what happened last night. Until now I can't removed those weird feeling from him…" she said referring to Athrun. But all of them thought it that she was referring to Dem'ix, the culprit. Cagalli herself doesn't believe that Athrun's eyes can be so cold like that. So she just thought it just her imagination.
Athrun himself still wondered about what Dem'ix could meaning with his last words back then. he doesn't thing his eyes really change at that moment. The only thing that he realized was he must defend her, and with any ways possible.
"its done" Lacus voice broke the cold tension above them. "But I can't do anything about the scar. I'm afraid it was too deep for my power to reach. I'm truly sorry…"
Yzak rub his face to feel the scar, "its okay. At least the wound was healed. I'll get revenge for this scar!" he grew furious.
"Yzak, don't be eaten by your anger. As you know, anger can make your blade blunt. So remember it well." Kira said.
Yzak know he was right. But of course he doesn't like to show his defeated like usual. So he threw his face while hump.
But suddenly a shadow appeared through dojo's shoji and walked along the corridor
"well… you guys got beaten up pretty badly, don't you?" a voice from the other side said. All of them suddenly looked to the door and found a blonde sensei smirked towards them.
"Mwu-sensei?!" all yelled in shocked except Kira, Cagalli, Athrun and Lacus. We got a lot of time for explaining after this, Kira thought
After Mwu share some of his trademark chuckle, all of them looked back to Kira. Their face looks like said, 'maybe you have an explanation about this. If so, spit it out or we'll got a lot of trouble registering the future event'
Kira sighed. Then he explained all of it. From the beginning until the circumstances that make him must go all the way here. during Kira's explanation, sometimes they all looked to Mwu with the unbelief look. Mwu just let out some chuckle. Its obvious if they can't believe some of Mwu's history, because the story and the 'truth' is so far from the believing spot.
Here's some thing that they cannot accept, Yamata no Orochi's slayer? Kira's teacher? The Genius from last decade? Well… sort of. But there is one thing that they believe, he's single. If you got what I mean…
Finally, Kira's explanation finished, "well… that's all that I can tell."
They all looked to Mwu. Some think, 'really? Unbelievable…' but the others think, 'the day when it really comes true, I'm dead…' due the extreme prestige to admit the others power.
"I'm so great in my old times, don't you think?" Mwu said in somewhat his joking tone, and got so many strange glares from the spectators. He laughed nervously and trying to change the subject, "forget about that now, umm… do you have any idea who are they?"
Kira looked down. And then said, "the one who attacked us is Organization XIII. I was told you once about them." Mwu is getting serious now. he know they'll be a great threat for them in future. "and…" Kira added. "the one who attacked Lacus and myself is a blonde. He had such a strange, but familiar move."
Mwu's head jerked up. he looked like he can tell who is he. "tell me his name, now!" Mwu yelled
Kira shocked. But he know there's something wrong, "from what I've heard, he named himself Raww…"
"Hirenki Aku…" Mwu said almost in whisper. "so, he begin his move now…"
Kira jerked up when realized what Mwu has just said, "you know this person, Mwu-san?!" he asked desperately
Mwu let out a small sad smile, "how I can forget… this guy…?"
The rest of the shinobi turn their attention to Mwu. They wait for what Mwu will say.
"he's my father…"
Organization XIII Outpost
Raww is the last one who arrived at the outpost. Since he took care of his own plan that he can't let the other Knights know that just yet. He walked along the white corridor of their outpost and opened the door to the main room where they all take relax before go back to the place where they belong, Oblivion Castle. Raww take a seat and Sayx break the silence.
"I must thank you to you, Dem'ix. To call us. They definitely can become a worth challenge. But Raww, why you ask us to retreat that time? We just got some of fun." Sayx said. "you just said that they'll serve us more challenge if we let them live for now"
Raww smirked. He faced Sayx and said, "Like you said, I indeed felt that that time. If we let them become stronger a little bit, we can have an interesting battle in the future, and we won't wait that for long. Since the No. 1 ordered us to capture the Princess immediately"
Dem'ix raised his hand and begin to speak, "I agree with Raww. Last night I saw something very interesting in the one of Protector. I saw it…"
Luxord is getting interested, "what? What did you see?"
"its Seed, isn't it?" Raww said
"How did you know?" Dem'ix asked desperately.
Raww lowered his face, "I used to know this protector before I came to the Organization. Before it, I'm just a mere mortal, from the place where they come from…"
Clyne's Dojo
"…but he banished from the village long time ago. When you guys still become Shi…" Mwu shut his mouth. He know Lacus and the others will get so sad and mad if they know about the Protector's past. "ahh… forget that. slipped in my mouth. When you guys still in the outside world, he banished because he trying to learn one of the sacred Yang technique, Mumyo Dai'onryu. And after that, we didn't know about his whereabouts… so now he intended to plotted against us again, huh? And he was in a perfect position to achieve that. but honestly, I never think that he would go that far…" Mwu finished his explanation.
"And 'Hirenki Aku' that I said earlier, is a special step that was developed by himself. An improved version of your shunpo. Its allowed its user to move faster, and more silent. But it has weakness, it costs more stamina than usual shunpo." Mwu added.
Athrun wondered for a second. "I never thought that you have such a great father, Mwu-san."
Mwu sadly smiled, "yeah, I thought that for the first time too… before I know how sick-minded he was…"
Realized that most of the kids that in front of him feel sorry about him, he trying to change the subject, "yah… forget about that. we have a more important task to do. From now on, the battle is going to be more difficult. And maybe it'll cost your life…"
The girls, especially Lacus looked to the shinobi and have a worried looks on her face. She didn't want anyone die just for protecting her. And she can't take it if that really happen. She was seen how Kira and the others can suffer from their first battle. And maybe it'll be worse if they engaged them in the next battle. And for Yzak, Dearka and Shinn, they haven't known anything just yet. They trained just for protecting themselves. Not to sacrifice their lives for this. And they never said that they'll have a part of this case.
Lacus was about to say something when Yzak finally spoke, "cost my life? Don't make me laugh! It'll be them who will cost their lives for tore this scar in my face…"
"I didn't want to die yet…" Dearka said, "so for that, I'll kill them if they dare touch my friends."
"How can I use this Katana if I just flee after hear what you said, Mwu-sensei?" Shinn said while a smiled crept on his lips.
"And for us…" Kira finally said, "its out job to dedicated our life in the line for our master. We always improved ourselves to stay alive. And that's why we can survive this far."
'And to atone my sins three years ago…' Kira said to himself
Lacus almost let out her tears. She doesn't believe her friends that actually doesn't seem to close to her, and new friends such as Cagalli, Athrun and Kira want to risk their lives just for her.
"Don't worry, Lacus. I'll never let them have you." Kira said assuring.
Lacus hugged Kira suddenly after hear that. And she cry on his shoulder. Kira shocked at first, but he know her feelings. So he hug her back and embrace her. Mwu walked to her. He embraced her hair, just like a father trying to comfort her daughter. "its ok, Lacus. We're here to protect you. No matter what."
Lacus nodded and smiled. She broke their hug and smiled again to Kira. Kira smiled back and embrace her hair again. "what Mwu-san just said its true, Lacus. We'll never leave you."
Lacus just nodded again.
Mwu put his serene expressions back to serious again. He face Kira and said, "Kira, may I have a talk with you? just a moment"
Kira nodded and followed Mwu to the outside of dojo, to the garden. While the other keep stay there and talk about it.
"Athrun," Lacus said
Athrun face her and ask her what's wrong. and she ask, "do you know why Mwu-san must talk with Kira in private? Its not like him."
Athrun shook his head, "I have no idea either. Let ask him when he back, ok?"
Lacus nodded, and join again with the others
With Kira and Mwu
Mwu take him to the edge of the pond. They stand there in silence before finally Mwu broke that
"Kira, have you forgotten about the rules?" Mwu asked
Kira's tension changed, "what, do you mean, Mwu-san?"
Mwu face him seriously, "you know, you can't fall for your master, and don't ever let your feelings take yourself. That our most important rule! You should've known that."
Kira lowered his face, "I know, but what can I do? I've fallen, and I can't let my father know about this…" suddenly, Kira remembered something, "but to think about it, does my father have erased that rule?"
Mwu became confused, he never heard of that before, "I never heard that before…" he thought for a second. "maybe I was lack of information since I haven't get back for long."
Kira sighed in relief. But before he could relax, Mwu added, "but did you think your father really did it? For what objection if he really did it? You better watch your back, Kira. You know what kind of leader your father is…"
Kira nodded. He understands clearly what kind of leader he is. He's a hard leader that wouldn't let his men do some kind of fatal mistake still stand at his land. He was seen it by himself when his father took care of his men that failed for their tasks. And that time make his body shivered.
"and Kira…" Mwu said again. Kira broke from his thought and face him. "I'm sorry that I almost slipped it. The dark time of yours. I almost said in front of you friends. If they find out about your past, maybe they'll never forgive you. I still remember it well. The time when you guys the Protector still known as Shiseiten… (the Four Reapers)"
"I know…" Kira sighed in relief, "And I'm glad that you hold you mouth back there. If Lacus know about what have I done back there, she could've hated me…
"what you've done? Ahh… I see…" Mwu remembered some of his past. He still remembered when a group of young shinobi walked back from the battlefield 3 years ago. Their body was stained by blood of their enemy that almost invaded their village. The path they've walked is consists of the enemies body that was lifeless. But yet, their face was showing no emotion, like a true evil.
"Put aside of that, you've done a great thing too… you've saved the village. If you all didn't made it back there, our village…"
"…with abandoned so many lives…? That's same as sacrifice this one to save the other…" Kira cut Mwu's sentences.
Mwu become speechless now. he know Kira has done so many terrible things in his dark times. But for what? Of course he does that to protect what are the important things for him. In fact, there were so many people of village that glad with the result. even Kira's dad, Tenchu himself, was satisfied with the result.
"well… you shouldn't worry about it now. like you said, it was a past. Now you have more important things to do, right?" Mwu said referring to Lacus.
Kira looked at her and smiled, "yeah… I know."
Organization XIII Outpost
Dem'ix opened the Portal that connected them with their base. After the portal fully opened, he smiled and faced the rest of the Knights
"Well… forgive me, but I'm afraid that you have to back for now. Safety procedure…" he said to Luxord and Sayx
Luxord frown after hearing that, "this fast?"
Dem'ix nodded, "of course. You don't want the King number one caught us play around outside his order, do you? Don't worry… we'll make sure that they'll come to us. Right, Axel?" he faced Axel
Axel shot him a glare. But he decided to stick with his plan before they could make their move. He doesn't want to attract attention for now.
"right." He simply said
Luxord sighed, while Sayx just showed no emotion like usual. "very well then." Luxord said. "I'll leave the rest to you. Tell the kid to fasten his job." After he finished his sentences, he walked through the portal and disappeared.
After they went, Dem'ix smirked evilly and faced Axel, "so, what are you thinking, Axel? Interesting, isn't it?"
Axel shot a glare again and walked away, "your egoism will destroy yourself…"
Dem'ix still smirked, and whispered to himself, "shouldn't you tell it to yourself…?"
Axel hear that clearly. But now he has more important thing to do than argue with him. Axel walked away from that room. He went to his own chamber and opened a teleportation portal. He let out some aura from his hand and materialized it into a portal of flame.
'maybe I should help him in this case. At this rate, everything will be changed.'
Clyne's Dojo
Mwu and Kira walked in to the dojo after having a short discussion. They already made up their mind to keep an eye to their surrounding, unexceptional their leader himself, the Tenchu, and Kira and Cagalli's father. Beside, if something happened, Mwu will get some aid if it still on their territorial. But Kira has something in his mind that always bothered him. from what he heard from Athrun that maybe there was a spy on their own class, the katana that had been stolen from their village and someone who declared himself as sandal-hat, and Lacus's safety. Moreover, Kira still hadn't talked about the Protector's true power to Athrun and Cagalli. Because he still didn't understand anything yet. He can't talk about it with Mwu because he knows if he slips that to him, he probably will end up tell them straightly.
Mwu and Kira walked in to the dojo and met them again, as to be expected, they'll having a good time to talk and chit-chat about something that surely Yzak doesn't want to know about. Mwu and Kira sat to their place before and Kira asked Shinn about what are they talking about.
"oh… you can talk to your master here…" Shinn said pointing to Lacus who was discussed something with the girls
Lacus who had realize Kira's presence immediately smiled and walked towards Kira. She grabbed his hands and pulled him playfully that made Kira blush madly.
"La… Lacus? What do you…?" Kira asked stutterly.
Lacus released her hands, "sit now, Kira Yamato!" she said pointing to the floor
Even he didn't completely understand what's happening right now, he sat down and Lacus do the same
Kira observed the other, Mwu just put an 'I-don't-know-anything' look, Cagalli and Athrun have some confused expressions as well, Luna and Miriallia put a upset and their face showed some words, 'reject, reject, reject!' Shinn and Dearka have a high hope look on their faces. They just look like a little puppy that wanted to be feed before they go to sleep. Yzak had showed no emotion like usual.
"well…what the matter of all this… Lacus…?" Kira finally let out a question
Lacus plastered a big smile. she has an idea that she really thought that'll lightened their mood after the unexpected sudden battle earlier. "Kira… we thought that we may… have a nice vacation after this?!" she asked cheerfully, trying to hide her anxiety that she had from their first battle.
Kira spaced out for a second, "va…cation?"
Lacus nodded, "um! A nice vacation. I thought that you should pamper yourself a bit. Don't become too rigid, Kira! Even you have a task; you can't let yourself to rot in the house or tailed me wherever I go just like that!"
"Then what would you like me to do?" Kira asked.
Lacus put a genuine smile, "actually, I had planned to take you guys for summer break, to the beach1? So how's about it? Will you approve?" she said cheerfully to Kira. Kira can sensed the cheerful aura from Dearka and Shinn. And on the other hand, the girls, Luna and Miriallia had shown an eerie aura. Kira giggled at himself after realized the opponent of the atmosphere. But different with Athrun and Cagalli, since they haven't know anything about the thing called 'beach' at all. They just can daze away with the confused look.
"Answer it already!" Shinn shouted at Kira.
"It's not everyday we can have a visit to a wonderful beach of Victoria, you know! If you approved, then you are our comrades, right Shinn…?!" Dearka added while circled his arms to Kira playfully. (you got what I mean, right?)
"But!" Shinn sounded a bit venomous, "if you declined… I'll beat you into a bloody pulp with my fist!" a comical vein popped at Shinn's fist while he raised it in front of Kira
"But that's… uuh…" he was cornered, he know it. And since he look it was no mistakes for them, instead, it should be like so much fun for all of them. Besides, the one who planned it all is Lacus.
"…if so, why not? Right, everyone?" everyone has nodded their head. Well except for Luna and Miriallia. They have a gloomy aura that surrounded them. Kira sweat dropped after seeing both girls.
'This is going to be fun, eh?' Kira thought.
Organization XIII Outpost
After Axel was gone, without he knew one figure smirked behind his door. He saw everything from very start. He left Axel's chamber and go to Raww's. he entered his chamber after knocked the door. There he found Raww on his table, working on something.
"what do you want?" Raww asked coldly.
Dem'ix just endured Raww's coldness, "lets get prepared. We'll go to the 'Heaven' once again."
After hear that, Raww is gotten interested, "what's happened?"
"we'll get the Princess now…"
Just a little bit and we'll go through the climax of the story. Don't worry… I don't plan on finish it this fast. Cause I want to add some Destiny char too! On the next chap I'll introduce few OOC, well… that's all for now.
