Today ish the next chappy~ With Kira's POV this time :D
Okay, so this is really important. I may or may not miss of week of updating this story, simply because my time on the computer, meaning either I'll update later, or these chapters could potentially get shorter. Like todays. Although, this chapter's length is about the same as Arisa's.
Today's song is "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers. A song about friendship.
Disclaimer: I don't own GSD cuz if I did, I would've made Lacus and Kira kiss, even if it's at least once. (Those two are so cute together :3)
Chapter Bonus [Kira]
I was a goofy, happy, and all-around good child.
At least that's what it seemed on the outside.
I was normally a quiet kid; I had good friends, who I could rely on, and there were never really any haters towards me. A life that was quiet and problem free of course. That's the way I wanted to keep it, the way I thought it would be forever.
I still remember everything, my childhood and my memories.
When I wasn't even a year old, I was already a bright child, although naughty as my mom put it but still… My parent's said I loved to read, I loved to go outside and play cars with other children.
But when I did turn one, mom said I always made her laugh. Even just a year old, I was already their world, they loved me, and I loved them.
Two years old, I remember that I got lost once, and my mom was really angry.
Three years old, I began to become more and more naughty, often drawing on the walls of the house.
Four years old, I often disappeared, and explored a forest or something that was near my house. A way to use my time.
Five years old, and I was pretty secluded from the world, I didn't want to do anything with anyone, I wanted to be by myself. A sort of young rebellious stage I guess.
And then, when I turned six, that's the year when everything around me changed. Everything. That's the year I met my best friends.
It all started when my parent's forced me to enter school for the first time in those 6 years. A school to help me become more social, to break out of my shell.
Or at least that was their intention from the start.
When I started walking around the school, touring around, I was lucky to find two people, that I thought would only be helpful in getting my way around. But in truth, all that that happened, was nothing more than fate, and destiny.
Both of them became better friends with me than I thought.
I met Athrun first. We all started off just by meeting on a green grassy field, simply nothing more than a meeting. I first thought he was smart, just by looking. His blue hair parted like that, and that hat, it all made him seem like a smart person. As well as the clothing he was wearing, that made him seem rich and important. I was nothing more than just a coordinator, with an average family (although they were Naturals).
We exchanged few words before another person barged in.
Her name was Arisa. She had pretty orange hair that fell just to her chest, with two pigtails coming from both sides of her head. She wore a dress and stood there, her feet shuffling. Although she was younger than both Athrun and I, we became really good friends.
The three of us did everything together.
We played together.
We slept over at each other's houses all the time.
We did everything together.
We were like sisters and brothers.
Family and Friends that could not be separated.
Friends that I could lean on.
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Lean on me...
And I did lean on them a lot.
They would always listen to me.
Arisa and I were the closer of the three. Arisa and my tastes, our interests and so forth were closer. We loved to goof off, while Athrun would always stand there and yell at us. Then, Arisa and I would run off, hiding somewhere so Athrun won't find us.
Arisa and I were always the one who begged Athrun to let us go watch TV, or play some video games. He would always end up getting angry from us, and yelling at us constantly.
That's the way it was for most of the time we were together.
We thought it was going to be that way forever.
But years later, Athrun parted from us first. He went back to the Plants first, because his dad wanted him back home. He left that day with a smile.
Arisa and I were left on our own.
It was just the two of us.
And it was that way for a few years.
But not before leaving two presents. Birdy (Tori) and Foxy (Kitsu). They were our treasures, presents that would keep us company. Precious presents that we loved.
Presents we would always take care of.
Then, she left too.
After that accident.
I still remember the day she told me about her family, and that accident. She was crying so hard, I was holding both of her hands. Then, she fell asleep on the bed, tears still falling from her face.
Her parent's had died due to a terrible accident, an accident she refused to tell the details even to me, her best friend. I understood that it must've really hurt. She cried and cried and cried.
But when she left too, with a brand new family, that's when I thought the whole world fell apart.
I lost both of my friends.
I was alone.
It was hard for me to get back into the game, to restart my life all over again.
But I did get back. I made all sorts of new friends, although we weren't as close as it was with Athrun and Arisa, we were really close friends.
Sai, Miramallia, Toelle, Kuzzey.
They were the people who helped me break out of that second shell, to become free again.
But even still, Toelle died, because of me.
Because I was rash, and careless.
When I thought I entered the Archangel, it would be a good thing, because it would finally let me help others, to save my friends, and to save everyone. The people of that ship were kind, although some of them hated me at first, simply because I was a coordinator.
But after suffering through so much, they stopped treating me as if I was an enemy, but rather a comrade for them.
But also on that ship, it was the time when I got to find out who I really was, as well as finding two very special people.
Athrun and Arisa.
We finally met again, after so many years. They were my enemies at first; they were part of ZAFT, wielding their own weapons, the Aegis and the Serenity. We fought on multiple occasions, and started off as nothing more than a bitter hate towards each other, as well as surprise, when they appeared there suddenly in Heliopolis.
Then before I knew, soon after, another person appeared in my life.
Lacus.
I thought of her as pretty in the beginning obviously, as well as a talented singer. I never thought the two of us would end up with such an important relationship later on.
Can you imagine my surprise when I heard that she was best friends with Arisa, as well as the fiancée of Athrun?
I had no idea that she was so close to my two best friends.
Of course I was somewhat sad when she left.
But after that, my relationship with Flay was better. We became what I had wanted from the beginning. And we even did that (1), something that happened out of the blue. I became rougher and more violent in my battles, killing mercilessly.
When I found out she was using me, I was so angry.
I broke up with her, and yet she still yearned for me.
I wanted nothing more to do with her.
And that battle, with Arisa, when she finally joined the Archangel, that was a special day. I still remember that day, when she finally joined us. She had that smile she always did, her hands behind her back, standing straight in front of me.
It was as if we were never enemies.
Even though she had no mobile suit at that point, she was strong, and helped out the ship so much.
She would always stay on the sidelines, smiling and encouraging me when I needed the help, especially right before that battle with Athrun.
She even forgave me for killing Nicol, a person she had loved.
That's how deep our bond was.
Then, that fight with Athrun. Athrun and I were so angry at each other, I killed his friend Nicol, and he killed Toelle.
We were both out for blood.
I ended up unconscious and in Lacus's custody, and Athrun was in Orb's custody, for a few moments.
I received the Freedom from Lacus, and Athrun received the Justice. And soon after, Arisa received Miracles, after that incident in ZAFT with Lacus. The three of us were reunited, by three machines.
We were together, and ended that war.
Hand in hand.
Our bonds of friendship held us together, and kept it that way.
But then, we had to separate again, this time although not as serious as before, but we still did separate.
Athrun and Cagalli went to Orb and held things together politically.
Arisa went to ZAFT and disappeared from us for two whole years. She never said a word to us after that, we had absolutely no idea what or who she was with or even doing.
Lacus and I took care of children.
And that's the way we had thought it would stay, although we would all reunite again someday. We would all go our own ways, figuring out what destiny had in order for us.
We never thought we would join up like this.
This second war, this second war was the repeat of everything. It was the war repeating itself for us. Athrun and Arisa were my enemies at the beginning of the war, and I was their enemy.
Just like two years ago.
A battle I worked so hard to end, and to forget.
And that time when I finally appeared into the battlefield, the both of them were there, at first unknowingly to myself. Arisa sat in the Tranquility, and Athrun sat in the Saviour. They just floated there on the battlefield, doing nothing while I made the battle a "chaos" as Athrun had put it.
That day was so hectic.
Then, the Destroy came. The horrid machine that ended the lives of many innocents.
A monster.
We had fought alongside the Minerva, and Arisa.
Arisa had forgotten who I was, as if we had never even met. Her expression was so blank, so confused when I saw her appear on that screen. Not only that, she knew the pilot of that Destroy. She had tried to save her, although she and the pilot of the Impulse had almost died.
They had hated me for those few moments.
And that actually hurt me.
Those few moments of meeting her was upsetting, especially when I told everyone of the ship too. Cagalli was there, tormented. Lacus looked down, and was very silent. Everyone else aboard the ship were sad.
Lacus even refused to speak for a whole day.
No one could believe that someone like Arisa would forget any of us.
And on top of that, she left the Archangel for the Plants, to find out what Chairman Durandal really planned. After all, it could determine the fate of the world.
She was willing to sacrifice everything to find out the truth.
That's when I had decided I would save Arisa and Athrun from that ship.
That's what I had thought, but that all ended up in their favour. I had lost that battle, and nearly died because of it. Because of a stupid mistake, a distraction.
That's the basic jist of what had happened.
I've been waiting on the Archangel ever since, waiting for Arisa, Athrun, and Lacus to return.
To come back to Orb, and end this war once again.
Lacus going to ZAFT had unsettled me, mainly because I was worried if she was going to be found out, especially by that other Lacus.
I had hated that other Lacus. How could someone use the real Lacus's appearance, as well as how could anyone replace her? That fake could never be the real her as long she was beside me all the time.
I spent all my time worrying for her wellbeing.
And especially, what if Chairman Durandal had found her?
Ever since seeing him on the TV, I had already felt that he was suspicious. From those words he said, to that creepy smile. I had never trusted him from day 1. I had wondered what he said, to make Arisa and Athrun turn against us, and join ZAFT even though they had never planned to go back there.
This whole war was his fault and his alone.
I knew that, and I hated him for that.
How could anyone not see that all his "reassuring" and "calming" words were nothing more than lies. Lies that everyone was too blind to see through.
How could anyone not see how fake he looked?
How fake he was?
I was sure of everything the minute I laid eyes onto that fake Lacus.
Everything was his fault.
NOTE: Taking in music requests right now :D
Okay, this chappy's done. Next will be Lacus. :D
Negima-Roxas
Thank you for your reviews =3
It totally made my day. I was so happy.
Now you made me all sad cuz you lost your daddy ;____;
Shinn: You…would've killed me?
Misha: Hah…xD
Arisa: ….That's mean.
Misha: Oh psh~ You know I love Shinn. You were created to release my inner fandomness. XD
Arisa: Yeah.
Shinn: I'm not feeling any better.
Misha: Anyways, Arisa IS a kickass idol. Maybe she can't fight physically like in a lot of animes, fanfics, and mangas, but she can beat the crap out of you in a battle, as well as in a conversation.
Arisa: …
Shinn: …
Arisa: Broken promises suck don't they? They really hurt. *looks at Shinn innocently*
Shinn: D;
Misha: D. You lied to her.
Shinn: I'm sorry…
Misha: You know, I actually find my own story a bit cheesy too, xDDDDDD
Shinn: But I'm with Arisa because of that.
Misha: Point taken.
Misha: A love triangle between Arisa, Stella, and Shinn….I wonder about that. The final result would probably be Arisa though (at least in my story.) I had considered about killing her off, or leaving her alive, but I decided to let her die in the end. It removes the love triangle.
And soo...R&R OKAY? :D
BTW: I redid the first three chappies and added stuff, just to let you know ;D
