Chapter 10- Hostage
"Cagalli, will you step on it. This is no time to be driving courteously." urge Athrun.
"I'm driving as fast as possible already. You don't want us to crash before we reach home do you?" Cagalli yelled back.
"Stop it you two. This is no time to be bickering. We have to get home fast. Kira is waiting for us." Lacus vent out.
They drove the rest of the way back quietly. When they reach the mansion, they practically jump out of the car and rush in then went straight to Kira's room.
"Kira" Athrun call as he open the door.
"Athrun, Cagalli, Lacus; you're back. Thank goodness." Kira sounded relieve.
"Is it really you, Kira?" asked Athrun unsure of whom he is speaking to. But when he saw the soft caring lavender eyes only Kira could give him, he knew Kira was back; for the moment.
"Kira, is there really a parasite Athrun told us about? Is it gone?" asked Cagalli. She headed to the bed and began to unbind his left hand.
"I'm afraid it's true Cagalli. It's not gone but just retreated for the moment. You have to stop untying me. I can't control myself if it resurfaces. I may hurt you. I don't want to do that."
But Cagalli already loosen the ropes of the left hand. Lacus couldn't her composure rushed to the bed and hugged Kira while tears stream down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry Athrun for that." Kira apologize for the bruise on Athrun's cheek.
"Lacus please don't cry. It hurts me to see you cry." Kira looked at Lacus.
Suddenly without warning, Kira jerk free his left hand from the loose ropes and grip Lacus by the throat. His grip tightens as Lacus struggle to gasp for air.
"Kira, Why? was all Lacus managed to choke out.
"Your boyfriend is no longer here darling." the parasite answered in Kira's voice but it was bitter cold.
"Kira, let Lacus go, you're choking her." cried Cagalli while trying to pry Kira's hands off Lacus throat.
Athrun's first reaction was to pull Cagalli away from the bed. And shield her from Kira. While he look helplessly at Lacus. Kira was once again in seed mode. Athrun notice that whenever the parasite takes control, it always enters seed mode. Kira is very skilled in any normal state but being in seed mode, he is even more precise and his skills and ability are more acute. He will be twice as hard to overcome. While Kira can control when ever he wishes to enter seed mode, Athrun lacks that ability, even though he too can engage in seed mode.
Athrun took out his pen knife which he carries around with him and took a fighting stance. Kira is highly dangerous with that parasite in control and what more he has Lacus by the throat.
"Release Lacus at once." Athrun commanded.
"Not until you free me from these ropes, or I will strangle her to death" his grip of Lacus tightens.
Lacus was choking and her face did seemed a bit bluish from the lack of air.
"Loosen up your grip so she can breathe or she wouldn't be able to untie you." Athrun said in defeat. He couldn't risk it with Lacus in his grasp; the parasite will only hurt her if he didn't comply.
The parasite loosens up his grip and allows Lacus to breathe again. Lacus carefully stood up and began to untie the ropes binding Kira's right hand.
"My, my, you are pretty little thing aren't you" the parasite spoke out. "No wonder my host has such deep feelings for you. With him gone why don't you stick with me" he flirted with Lacus but still kept a close eye on Athrun and Cagalli's movements.
"He's not gone, Kira will triumph over you. Kira is stronger than you think. And keep your hands off me you pervert." Lacus swat away his right hand which she has freed. He was trying to grope her.
"Feisty one aren't you, but I like it. I might consider you to be my queen if you are nice to me." he tried and touch Lacus again.
"Watch where you lay your hands, you parasite or I'll put a knife in it" Athrun warned the parasite while trying to hold back the urge to attack him there and then but he feared for Lacus's safety.
"What's the matter? This is still the body which held you before. Why do you reject me now?" the parasite question Lacus ignoring Athrun's threat.
"What is a body without the mind and spirit? You are not Kira. Besides Kira would never disrespect me like you did. Now keep your hands off me" she slap his hands once again when he put it around her waist.
Although the parasite still had a firm grip around Lacus's throat, she didn't tolerate any of his unwelcome advances. The body may belong to Kira but the one in control is not Kira but a parasite. She will not let herself to be taken advantage of. Her heart and body belongs to Kira and Kira alone. No other man will ever have the pleasure of touching her in that way except for Kira.
Finally Lacus was done untying the ropes that bound Kira to his bed. The parasite stood up and pulled Lacus towards him. Lacus had had enough of the parasite, she stamp on his foot with all her might and took the opportunity to free herself from his grip when he yelp in pain and surprise.
Athrun saw his chance and lunge forward to attack the parasite.
A/N: Sorry for taking so long to update but the mountain of assignments and the writer's block I've been having, is the main cause. And when I do get ideas for the story line I tend to be lazy to type it out even after I've form out the story plot. For that I'm sorry. I'm also working on two new stories (still on planning and getting it typed out) and also I have to complete my other story "Eternal Friends". I'm going to conclude this story and "Eternal Fiends" in a few more chapters. Till then please read and review. I would like to know what readers think. I get positive number of hit counts for the story but very few reviews. I hope readers will be so kind to write a review, it helps a lot to boost my spirit up and continue writing.
P.S. I like to thank readers like Riley-Mayori, Kiralover2, XXStrike-FreedomXX, Alexandria Scherazade, ZGMF X-19A Infinite Justice, golden-eyedwolf842, nick2951, yuffiegal23, Kane-chan, KiraFreedom, The Dark Empress of Eternity and anyone whom I may have left out for leaving reviews and supporting my fiction.
