Thanks for all the reviews.

And to Hades.Throne.Heiress, of course, who else is better than Athrun's no. 1 fan:)

Chapter 10

"37 – 43," The reserve on Fllay's team announced. "Blue team wins!"

"Whew," Miriallia panted as she sat down beside Cagalli. "That was one hell of a game."

"Yea," Cagalli nodded. "But all of you were very good."

"Lets go for change now." Lacus appeared in front of the 2 girls. "Then we can go for lunch."

"Uh, you guys go ahead first, I'll stay back to keep the bibs." She turned and yelled at Fllay's team. "Give me your bibs before you go, I'll keep them."

"Um, alright Cagalli, see you in the cafeteria." Miriallia said as she and Lacus waved and walked off, and they were soon joined by Shiho, who saw that Cagalli wanted to be left alone.

Soon, all the girls cleared off, leaving Cagalli to fold up the bibs. The blonde followed them up, and pushed herself up from the ground. She winced as another wave of numbness flooded her legs. She turned to walk/limp to the storeroom, but tripped because of her numb legs. She closed her eyes and prepared for the impact, but it never came. Instead, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist, keeping her from falling.


Athrun picked the rugby balls off the ground. God, why did the coach pick on him all throughout the lesson? Alright, so he wasn't paying attention. And he was staring at the netball court.

But still!

He hadn't been the only one!

Athrun sighed as he dumped the last ball into the container. He dusted dirt off his hand, and he turned to see.

Cagalli.

It was obvious from the way she moved that she was in great pain. Athrun decided to go over to help her. He quickly jogged to the netball court, and that was when he saw her trip. In a flash, he ran there and caught her.

"Are you alright?" he asked tenderly.

"I … I … of course!" the blonde quickly shot back a reply.

He removed his hands from her waist when she regained her balance. She turned to walk and he saw her wincing in pain.

"You've sprained your ankle, haven't you?"

"No, I'm perfectly fine!" she snapped.

"No you're not," he lifted her off her feet and carried her bridal style. "So you're going to the nurse's office."

"Put me down!" she struggled.

But no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't get him to put her down. She then threatened to scream.

"If you don't put me down right now, Zala, I'll scream."

"Then I'll shut you up by kissing you." He smirked.

"You wouldn't dare!"

"Try me."

Cagalli decided it was best to keep quiet. But throughout the entire duration when Athrun carried her to the nurse's office, she sat on arms sulking.

When they entered the nurse's office, the nurse, Erica Simmons, came rushing out of the sick bay.

"What's wrong with her, Mr Zala?"

"I think she sprained her ankle." Athrun replied.

"Lets take a look," she told Cagalli, and turned to Athrun. "You can go now, Mr Zala, I'll take good care of your girlfriend." She winked.

"I'm not his girlfriend!" Cagalli quickly said.

"Really?" the nurse said, eyes twinkling.

Athrun left the room, saying "Well, I'll see you later."


Heh, that's all for now, folks.
