CHAPTER 12 : The 3 Kings
-
Beneath a veil so dark, so cold,
Beneath the sea of time so old,
In endless sleep,
In wakeless dreams,
You're all alone.
I sang a prayer that hope may cry,
Through lonely trees and empty skies.
My light will shine and lead you back,
To me and your home.
I watched as you dreamed about you and me.
Like children we laughed and played carelessly.
So close yet apart,
Our minds and our hearts.
Do you know what our future will hold for us?
Fields of Hope...
The melody from her headset cradled her melancholic mind as she rested her head on her desk, letting her golden hair flow on her arms. She blinked her tired eyes a couple of times before closing them completely. Her mind was soaked with thinking, work, house, dad, mom, Stellar, Sting, Kira.. Speaking of Kira, he's been acting oddly the past days, leaving so early in the morning then arriving so late at night. She barely sees him around the house now. Anyways, she was glad that Some things were going according to her plan, she received her salary and was able to pay all her debts with Mir and Luna, powerhouse has been paid for the months usage and Kira's University fees has been paid. All financial worries has been swiped off her mind, thanks to Yuna.
Yuna has been pretty busy the previous days, but the sweetheart he is, he always sends Cagalli flowers everyday to her office. It included greeting cards saying how much he cares for her and how willing he is to wait for her.
The Powerplant's "Prince", put aside his overly showing of his affection(which made Cagalli irritated) and his arrogantic persuasion, he's quite a charming darling. But before, she thought of him as an arrogant spoiled boy who was given power without supervision.

They first met back in grade school, she was graduating to step to high school, and Yuna was a senior, and the president of the student council. It was a week from the school's festival. And everybody was busy preparing. Cagalli's class immediately reserved a spot by the school center for their Jail Booth. What they didn't know is that the seniors have already planned the center for the Torch Dance() . They were setting up their jail when the senior students barged in and claimed the spot. Cagalli strongly protested as the grade school defender and showed them the reservation slip.
-
-
"This spot is ours!" she scowled at the seniors with her had on her hip and the other pointing at the ground
"Sorry for you but I already have everything lined up in this blue print. And it says here that this spot is ours and your is to the side" Yuna responded with arms crossed on his chest
"Tsk! Not fair! We had this reservation ahead of time. And the jail booth will be unnoticed if its located at the side"
"Boohoo, I don't care. In anyways, that reservation is useless, I already paid for this slot"
"What?! Paid?! This is the school grounds, not a land-for-sale! We were here first! First come first served! This is ours" she stated angrily infront of the student council president as she ended it with a stomp turning back to walk away. Everyone's jaw almost dropped, Yuna was big influence to the school. A "Prince", they say. And no one ever shouts, detests or even turn his back on the prince.
Who is this girl who is making a fun of him?
"How much do you need to move?" she stopped on her direction, her fist clenched with what Yuna just said.
"Would you like a hundred? Thousand? Or a hundred thousand to just move you trash booth?" he smiled slyly to which irritated Cagalli more. "Name your price"
"You think you can buy everything don't you?" Yuna's eyes widened in surprise
"Money can't buy everything Mr President'"
-
-
She doesn't know, but after that response, Yuna started to chuckle like crazy. Nobody really understood why he acted that way, not until today. Cagalli discovered that his mother was in coma for the past 8 years. Its sad, he IS rich, but his money can't really do anything to salvage his mother.
After that confrontation, Yuna started to court her. Impressed by her courage and the possession of his mother's philosophy; not caring about the social standing of anyone. Yuna was also a witness to the downfall of Mr Attha, he helped Cagalli from there on. He's not taking an advantage of the situation, her father was his mentor in business management. He had learned a lot from him.

"Hey, you ok?" a pair of familiar red orbs met her eyes. She lifted her head from her position and stretched out her arms, letting out a soft yawn
"I'm good, what brings you here?" removing the headset from her ear and replacing them in her bag.
"Just checking up on you," he sits down on one of the chairs in front of her desk, "I was wondering why you are still here, its close to noon"
"Just got some extra stuff to finish, y'know, client is staying here for awhile to see how we operate on a daily basis"
"You shouldn't overdo yourself" he smirked then tossed her a bar of chocolate
"yea right, When did i ever do?" she started packing her stuff
"Want a ride?"
she grabbed the chocolate bar into her bag, "thanks, but no thanks" she smiled to him weakly and stood up for the door. She felt a warm hand hold her.
"Are you avoiding me?" the nonchalant tone made her turn her head, Shinn was looking at her, his eyes pleading for her to say no.
"why do you say that?" she raised him a brow with her usual energetic voice.
"Well.. I've offered you 3 car rides this week, and you rejected them all" he explained with sarcasm
"You know Kira will us if he sees you and me together" her eyes furrowed with a plastered look.
"I really don't mind being killed by your brother"
she rolled her eyes, "Shinn, I can walk home alone just fine. God blessed me with 2 feet and a brain for direction just as anyone else" she pouted
Shinn chuckled softly, "Alright you got me" he punched her playfully by the arm
"good, see ya then!"
"take care"

It was quite a hot day, she streamed the streets under the striking sun, her hair blown by the warm air, her pale skin caressed by the heat and her mind still cradled by the song in her ear. She decided to drop by the hospital to check on her dad, its been a while since her last visit. The Hospital is not that far from her office so she decided to walk.
-
-
"Are you avoiding me?"
-
-
She smiled to herself, good thing she was able to convince him, though she knows for herself that she WAS somehow avoiding him. After Shinn confessing on his feelings for her about days ago, she felt really awkward towards him, especially now that they start to share each other's stories

And that concludes everything. She admits that she also like Shinn, but till what extent? So before she hops onto other islands she's already putting up a boundary. Putting up? She felt a sudden pin in her chest. She's not putting it up, it has already been put up, the wall that no one was able to break, or will ever break. Remember, she is not to fall in love. She is devoted to her mind, not to her heart..
She shook her head, she's been thinking a lot these days causing occasional spasm in her chest, and its not good. She's tired physically, emotionally, psychologically. She placed her hand in her pocket to gather strength, ("I hate it"), she stopped for while and looked up, ("the skies are still as clam as ever"), she closed her hands as if trying to grasp on something, ("I'm alone..as always.."), as she pulled out her hands, a white handkerchief hang in between her fingers.
-
-
"I'm not going to leave you like that"
-
-
She bit bit her lower lip, ("that blue boy sure knows how to annoy me") her eyes flinched as she felt the pain growing in her chest.
-
-
We loved the day when we were born,
And gentle hands we longed to hold,
When warmth embraced our fragile hearts,
We search for what's gone.
So close yet apart,
Our minds and our hearts,
But our promise will lead us back,
To fields of hope.

Alex drove pass Plantz Contact Center. He have just dropped his boss to his destination. He decided to stroll out for awhile before heading home. Or, was he hoping for something else? His eyes wandered around the area as the car slowly rolled its wheels on the smooth ground. He then saw a familiar blond walking . Her ever so captivating amber eyes staring blankly, with a headset on her ear. Watching her walk slowly made him bit his lips. He shifted the gears to 1, the girl is in trance and he doesn't want to ruin it.
Since him and his friends stalked her. He never bothered her again. Covered by guilt for doing so, and guilt for not doing what he was suppose to do. He brushed the ideas and feelings aside and buried himself with work and driving around town for his boss. But often times he wondered if she thought about the kiss, he gripped the stirring wheel tighter.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING ALEX DINO?!"

A small smile tugged his lips. He could clearly picture out the face of Cagalli. She was breathing heavy and blushing like a rose. Her expression was a mixture of anger and and something else he doesn't know. Her loose shirt covering her humble chest. Her scent of fresh flowers in the morning, and her soft pink lips he wasn't able to taste. Yes, all this time he had been thinking of her, pretending that he's not. The touching of their lips just showed their connection in one another. And with that touch, his heart has sparked. Does she like me? He gaze at his reflection from the rear mirror and felt the cold silver object wrapping around his ring ring finger. Who am I fooling?
Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Cagalli look up, her hand was clutching her chest and her legs are wiggling.. Not again? Out of instincts, he jumped out of the car and ran to Cagalli's location, just in time to catch her. She was breathing raspy.
"Cagalli!"
She cant bear the pain anymore, she felt as if the sun is sapping all the energy in her. Her lungs screamed for air, her vision turned to a blur, her knees started to melt.
"Its time to let go.."
-
-
-
"Cagalli!"
She was to close her eyes to rest, but that familiar voice made her exert all what is left to see if she's not dreaming. The emerald eyes staring at her and the familiar scent was enough to tell her that it is true.
"Alex... You came.."

So how was it for a comeback? Yuna really seems pretty decent here huh?
By the way, the excerpts there are from the song of Rie Fu titled "Fields of Hope", its the translation. I love the song especially when Lacus sang it with the children. D
() Torch Dance – there's a big bon fire in the middle then everyone will be dancing around it. Like the one in School Rumble.
(!) if your quite familiar with AOL instant messenger, this thing pops up whenever the other person was typing something then stopped w/o pressing send
