Chapter 10: Switched Partner
Athrun was still in his disguise since he could see some of his fangirls around him. He looked around to find the best place to hide until he saw the library.
He was about to enter the library before he suddenly froze. He couldn't believe what he just saw and he hoped his eyes was lying him. Unfortunately, it wasn't.
"Hey, step out from our way!" Yzak said annoyingly.
Athrun blinked his eyes twice but still didn't move. "Cagalli…"he called.
Cagalli rolled her eyes. "What?"
"…Uh…umm…Ki-Kira was calling you…"Athrun lied.
"I'll talk to him later. Let's go, Yzak." replied Cagalli, pulling Yzak to move.
Athrun sighed and frowned as he entered the library. His eyes suddenly caught a crying figure at the table. He quickly approached the figure as he knew who it was.
"Shiho, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Athrunn asked and sat beside Shiho.
Shiho keep crying and ignored Athrun's question.
"Shi, tell me. Is it about Yzak? Did he hurt you? Where?" Athrun asked again.
It was really odd to see Shiho crying. She was an active and you could say, aggressive girl. Even when Athrun's fangirls hit herm she didn't cry but hit them back.
Shiho nodded slowly and her sobs became louder. Athrun handed her a tissue.
"It is about Yzak and…Cagalli, isn't it?" Athrun asked as Shiho wiped her tears.
"Yeah…"replied Shiho toneless. She had stop crying.
"Did you ask him about the cellphone yesterday?"
Shiho nodded again. The scene rewind in her mind as she told Athrun about the story.
-FLASHBACK-Yesterday
Shiho ran as fast as she could but Yzak grabbed ker wrist sucessfully.
"Didn't you hear! I told you to stop!" Yzak retorted.
Shiho sniffed and looked at her own her own shoes.
"Hey, are you a deaf or what! I am asking you!" Yzak shouted again.
Shiho was still acting like nothing happened and this made Yzak's temper went out from his limit.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, HAFNENFUSS? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?" asked Yzak, angrily.
This time Shiho answered. She shouted back, "THEN WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING BY GIVING MY GIFT TO THE OTHER GIRL, YZAK JOULE?"
Yzak groaned. "I'm not giving it to her, I'm just lending it! Is that your problem, Hafnenfuss!"
"If it doesn't , so what do you think my problem is!" Shiho asked him back. "If you hate me, just tell me. I'll not give you any gift anymore!"
"This woman is really stupid…"sighed Yzak.
"What do you mean by that?1 It is obvious that you hate me! You yelled at me, called me stupid woman and even give my gift to Cagalli. There is one fact that you should know, Joule. Ever since I meet you, I never heard you called me Shi or even Shiho." Shiho's tears came out again.
Yzak sighed, this time more louder. "Listen here, Hafnenfuss! Don't make me repeat it! I didn't give your gift to Cagalli, I just lent it to her! Can't you sense the differences about the two! It just for time being! And I didn't hate you! If I did, I won't accept your gift last year! And, if you think I love Cagalli, you are totally wrong!"
"STILL, YOU CALLED ME HAFNENFUSS! IS IT HARD TO CALL ME SHIHO LIKE YOU CALL CAGALLI BY HER NAME?" Shiho was still furious.
With a very loud sigh, Yzak pulled Shiho into a hug. Shiho was very shocked as she felt the warmness of Yzak's body.
"I love the name Hafnenfuss, that's why. Everyone call you Shiho, I don't want to be same as them. I called you Hafnenfuss didn't mean I hate you and I called Cagalli by her name didn't mean I love her. And I didn't yell at you because I hate you. I'll get my cell back later, don't worry. I know, it means a lot for…us."
Shiho wided her mouth. I didn't know that he could speak softly like this. Oh my god, is he just…!
Yzak closed his eyes as she peckek softly at Shiho's neck. Her skin was very soft…it made me wanted to do more…
Shiho could feel his hand wrapped her more tighter. She closed her eyes and leaned against him. Again, she pecked her sensitive spot and his lips moved to her cheek.
"I didn't hate you…"he muttered softly.
Before he did something more advance, Yzak's lips drew back. He could feel that Shiho encouraged him to do more but time will not allowed it.
She is slender than I was thought and her skin iss so fair and soft. I wonder is she Hafnenfuss that I know, Yzak thought.
"Y-Yzak, I lov…"Shiho was unable to continue as Yzak brushed his lips on hers.
He broke it in no time and hugged her more tighter before letting her go. Shiho blinked her eyes twice, seeing him walked away.
"Y-Yzak…, w-wait…I…"
"I warned you once, Hafnenfuss. Don't tell anyone about this or you will get something from me…or maybe your worst nightmare will become true." Yzak cut off as he walked away, leaving Shiho behind.
-END FLASHBACK-
"…Your story confused me more…" whined Athrun.
"So am I…But, Athrun, can I ask you something?" Shiho asked.
Athrun nodded his head. "Sure."
"Do you love Cagalli?"
"That…" Athrun looked down. "I don't really know…maybe I just…I think I just like her."
Shiho nodded slowly. "I see…"
"And you know, what Kira will do at me if I have feelings for his sister is what we can't imagine…!" At last, Athrun could hear Shiho's laughter again.
-Canteen-
"Hey, Cagalli, you won't mind if I ask you something, would you?" Yzak asked suddenly.
"Sure, what is it?" said Cagalli as she nodded her head.
"Well, when you were hit by Zala's fangirls yesterday, why didn't you hit them back?"
Cagalli frowned when she remembered the incident. "They were too many for me and they were violent too."
"So, who saved you?" asked Yzak as he drank his Coke.
"…Umm…I think he is Zala who saved me…" Cagalli looked down, trying to hide her blush.
Yzak was nearly chocked. "Did he save you?" he asked disbelievingly.
Cagalli nodded and her blush became more obvious. "…I think so…'cause there's no one with blue hair and emerald eyes around here except him."
"I see…" whispered Yzak. "So, did you forgive him yet?"
"HELL NO!" shouted Cagalli, shaking her head.
"Why not? He saved you, didn't he?" Yzak asked as he raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah, he did but it will not changing the fact that he made my high school life suffered!" said Cagalli angrily. " I wonder who is the unlucky girl that would be her girlfriend…"
Yzak raised his eyebrows again. "His would-be girlfriend? Did he mention it to you?"
"Yes, this morning. He said to Kira, Lacus and me that he would bring her mother to meet a mother."
"Did he metion the girl's name?" asked Yzak curiously.
Cagalli shook her head. "He didn't. Yzak, do you know a girl named Meyrin Hawke?"
"Meyrin Hawke? Yes, the one with two ponytails. She has red hair and a pair of blue eyes."
"Oh, I see…" Cagalli muttered.
"Why did you ask?" asked Yzak, finishing his breakfast.
"Nothing, just want to know. Kira and Lacus both guessed her to be Athrun's would-be girlfriend."
"Oh, then…Are you jealous?" teased Yzak, smirking.
"HELL NO, YZAK JOULE!" Cagalli shouted as she banged the table. But there's a fact that Cagalli couldn't deny was she was blushing
obviously.
Meyrin suddenly sneezed. She rubbed her nose gently. "Did I catch the cold?" she asked herself.
"Are you okay, Hawke-san?" Auel who was just walking at the same hallway asked.
"Yes, thanks, Neider-san." Meyrin nodded her head, smiling.
Auel smiled back at her. "It's nice to know that you're all right, Hawke-san."
"But it's not nice to hear you call me, Neider-san. You know, we have two Hawkes here. Just call me Meyrin." said Meyrin, still smiling.
Auel blushed slightly when he discovered how cute Meyrin's smile was.
"… Umm…, okay, M-Meyrin-san."
Meyrin pouted cutely, making Auel's heart started to beat faster. "Don't 'Meyrin-san' me. Just Meyrin, ne, Neider-san?"
Auel's face was obviously red. "O-Ok-Okay…, Meyrin-sa …umm… Meyrin…"
"Finally, you called me Meyrin…You're so funny, Neider-san." Meyrin chuckled.
Auel laughed slighly. "Since I call you Meyrin, you don't need to call me Neider-san anymore. Auel should be all right."
"Okay, Auel-sama!" teased Meyrin as she saluted him playfully.
"In your order, Meyrin-hime." Auel teased back as he bowed at her politely.
The two looked at each other and laughed loudly.
"You're so funny, Auel…"said Meyrin as she laughed.
"So are you, Meyrin…"Auel laughed between each word.
They only stop laughing two minutes later. Thanks goodness there's no one passed the hallway or it was hard to think what they will think at the two.
"Actually, Auel, have you seen my sister?" asked Meyrin, remembering her main intention.
"Do you mean Lunamaria-san?" Auel asked back.
"Of course. She's my only sister."
"If so, yes, I saw her just now. She went to the first Science lab with Asuka-san." replied Auel.
"Oh, okay…see you, Auel. Thanks." said Meyrin as she waved her hand and started to leave Auel.
"…Umm, okay, later, Meyrin." Auel waved his hand.
-Auel POV-
She walked leaving me while waving her hand cutely. Oh my god, she's so cute…Her ponytailes and cute voice…just same as my dream girl…
But, from what I heard, she is Zala-sama's fans. If she truly is, I hve no chance on her.
Anyway, as long as she was single, I still have chance. I'll do my best!
"Hey, Shinn-kun…is it okay to do this…?" Lunamaria whispered.
"Don't worry…no one will know…" Shinn comforted her.
"But, Shinn-kun…"
"Shh…" hushed Shinn. "Quiet and stop calling me Shinn-kun."
Lunamaria pouted as Shinn pulled her hand to a corner in the room.
"Listen here, Luna. You do this while I do this and after I finished, you…"
"ONEE-CHAN! ASUKA-SAN!" yelled Meyrin who appeared suddenly.
"Rin-chan!" Lunamaria called as she gulped.
Meyrin glared at them with her hand in her hips. "Onee-chan, Asuka-san, what do you do here?"
Shinn sweat-dropped. "…Uh…umm…R-Rin-chan…"
"DON'T 'RIN-CHAN' ME! WHAT DID YOU DO TWO ONEE-CHAN?" asked Meyrin, angrily.
"Calm down, Rin-chan. Shinn-kun just…"
"Just want to bully your Science teacher, Mr. Threin again?" Meyrin cut off.
Lunamaria nodded nervously. Sometimes, she admit that her young sister was very scary when she got angry.
"Huh, so my guess is true?" whispered Meyrin. "Asuka-san, I've told you, don't drag my sis into your antics!"
"Err, okay…"
"That is your 24th 'okay', Asuka-san! I don't know why I still believe you!" retorted Meyrin.
"Okay, okay…this time I swear, I won't get Luna involve again." Shinn raised his hand.
"Fine! But if you do it again…"
"Rin-chan, stop it! You're acting too much, you know…I know how to take care of myself." scolded Lunamaria.
Meyrin pouted. "Fine then. I'll leave. Ihave PE after this. See you later, onee-chan." she said as she walked away.
Lunamaria looked at her sister and shook her head slowly. "Sometimes, she is very overprotective…Hope you don't mind, Shinn-kun."
"She loves you very much, that's why. And, Luna, stop calling me Shinn-kun. Shinn is okay." said Sinn as he smiled.
Lunamaria sighed. "Although she is a year younger than me…I think she is more matured to compare to me. Maybe it is because she lost Mom and Dad at a very young age."
"If it don't make mistake, at that time, she was only seven, right?"
Lunamaria nodded slowly. "I'm eight at that time. It has been nine years."
"Oh, from what I heard, she has a crush on Athrun Zala, right?" asked Shinn, trying to change the topic.
Lunamaria nodded again. "She told me about it. I certainly not approve it. Zala-kun is kind but I don't think he loves my sis."
"He still in love with Clyne-san, isn't he?"
"No, from what I heard, he had set his eyes at a new girl."
Shinn raised his eyebrows. "Oh, really? Who is that girl? Who told you about it?"
"Well, my friend, Amalfi told me. The girl is Yamato-kun's sister, her name is Cagalli Yula Attha." said Lunamaria.
"Oh, Cagalli Yula Attha? I met her once. My god, she's hot, you know! All of my friend talked about her." excalimed Shinn.
"Really? What does she looks like?" Lunamaria asked curiously.
"Well, she is a blonde and has a pair of amber eyes. She resembles Yzato, since she is his twin. So, did Zala 'propose' this girl yet?"
Lunamaria shook her head. "No. According to Amalfi, this Cagalli was avoiding hi, for the whole last week, ah I mean, her first week in this school."
Shinn raised his eyebrows again. "Why?"
"Because he made Cagalli mad, of course. Poor Cagalli…she was tortured by Zala-kun's fangirls in her first day. Thanks goodness…I asked Meyrin about it and she told me that she hasn't made anything to her…" storied Lunamaria.
"I'm agree with you, sometimes the girls is too much…" sighed Shinn.
"I guess you're right…" and the bell rang.
