Athrun just couldn't believe what he'd done. All because of some maniac driver, he might have put an end to an innocent person. He could help it when his knees began to shake and he fell to the ground. "What have I done?" he muttered to himself as his hands shook.

Cagalli looked towards him and frowned at the sight before her. "It's not your fault Athrun," she spoke in a soft tone which was usually rare for her. "You're just as much of a victim as well. You were just trying to avoid an accident," Cagalli reasoned with him to the best of her ability.

Athrun just stared at her for a second before leaning his head back in the seat he was sitting in at the hospital. "Yeah but because of what I did, someone could possibly die. Save my life but take another, sure doesn't make it any better for me," he grumbled rubbing his head.

Cagalli groaned at another failed attempt. "Fine then! Mope all you want!" she said standing up and started to walk to the door but stopped and turned and walked back towards Athrun. "I'm taking your car to go pick up Kira and Tolle's mother. Since He'll be in there for a while, I might take a while because there is something else I need to do as well," she said grabbing the keys out of his pocket before he could stop her.

Athrun tried to reach for his keys but Cagalli just ran with them out the doors. "Damn it Cagalli! Get back here!" Athrun yelled standing up and giving chase. He knew Cagalli was kind of reckless with cars and he didn't want anything to happen to her if that caused her to get in an accident as well.

"Sorry, but I can't! I'm in kind of a hurry!" Cagalli yelled back as she quickly got into his car and drove away before he could fully catch up to her. She grinned in victory as she drove in the direction of her home to pick up Kira before she went to pick up Tolle's parents.

Athrun groaned a little in annoyance but went back into the hospital anyways. "She could have at least let me go with her. It is my car," Athrun muttered as he watched his red convertible disappear from view.


Cagalli actually drove calmer than usually on the way there. She figured there was no need to put herself in any danger as well and she would put it past Athrun to kill her is she destroyed his precious car. She couldn't help but laugh at the thought of it because she knew he didn't have it in him to do that to her.

She drove for a good ten minutes or so before she pulled up in front of the large place she liked to call home. It was bigger than most but wasn't quite a mansion. Their biological parents were well known scientists that earned a lot of money in their work. This meant that Kira and Cagalli were well off but not completely rich like people such as Athrun, Lacus, and Fllay.

She quickly got out of the car and rushed to the house and threw the door open. She was greeted by her mother as she came out of the kitchen. She may not have been born to her but she was the only mother she'd known her whole life.

"Oh hello Cagalli," she said with a smile as Lacus soon followed from behind her. She walked up to Cagalli and gave her a hug. "Why are you home much later than usual? Have you been hanging out with Athrun again?" she asked as the three women headed back into the kitchen.

"Sort of," Cagalli said fidgeting a little. "Something has happened and I'm here to pick up Kira since one of his friends was involved," she said and saw her mother give a face as if she already knew about it. Her thought was a right too, because of what she said a moment later.

"I aware of what happened. Tolle's mother called me and told me about it since Tolle and Kira are friends. It a shame that this had to happen to him at such a young age," she said as the three of them stopped. "She's coming over here now so you don't need to worry about picking her up," she said and Cagalli just nodded. "Let's talk until then," she said trying to lighten the mood a little.

The three of them walked into kitchen and took a seat at the table as Mrs. Yamato went and grabbed a cup of coffee. "What exactly happened at the school today to make Kira come running home like that. These two," she said pointing to Lacus and then in the direction that she knew Kira was, "seem to want to avoid the subject," she said with a pout.

Cagalli groaned as she remembered the events from earlier that day. "Rather not talk about it but I can tell you that he's more than likely not going to be going out with Fllay anymore," Cagalli said and was surprised when she saw her mother actually give a bit of a smile. "You're happy about it?" she asked a bit confused.

"I must admit that I wasn't too happy when he first started to go out with her. She always seemed a bit too stuck-up for my liking. She just didn't match Kira's personality. I'm kind of glad that she's gone now. Now he can meet an even better person," she said and took a glance over at Lacus that only went noticed by Lacus and she blushed a bit.

Cagalli then looked towards Lacus and saw that the pink haired woman looked a little flustered. "What's with you Lacus? You look embarrassed about something," she said and then heard her mother chuckle. "What happened?" she asked almost forgetting why she was here in the first place.

The magical camera seemed to appear out of nowhere. "Take a look at this," she said and handed it to Cagalli as Lacus dived for it and missed it. She'd seen the picture just before Cagalli came in and didn't really want anyone else to see it.

Lacus turned a bit red. "There no need to look at it," she said making an attempt for the camera but she once again failed to grab it from the quick hands of Mrs. Yamato. "Oh come on," she said with a small pout.

Cagalli grinned as she took the digital camera and dodge each of Lacus's attempts at grabbing for the camera. "Let's see what we have here," she said flipping through the several pictures already on it before she came to on in specific. Cagalli laughed as she saw the picture taken. All bad thoughts of what happened seemed to flee her mind. "Way to go Lacus," she grinned and danced around another attempt by Lacus to get the camera back.

All three of them were stopped from what they were doing when Kira came walking down the stairs. All three were thankful to not have to think about all the events of that day and just laugh a little bit but they knew that they had to come back to reality and all three of the turned serious.

Kira walked into the kitchen and looked at the three of them. "What's going on?" he asked looking a lot better than he had earlier that day from what Cagalli was able to see. He looked tired but didn't look as bad as she thought he would.

Caridad Yamato stood up and walked over to Kira and gave him a hug. "Kira, you may want to sit down. Something has happened that we need to tell you about," she said leading him to the table and sitting him down.

Cagalli took a deep breath knowing that she should tell him since she was partially involved even if she was just the passenger in the car. "Tolle's in the hospital Kira," she said quietly and saw the shocked look on his face and also one that said he probably wanted to cry. "Athrun and I were driving home when a car breaking about every law imaginable shot in front of us. Athrun swerved to avoid hitting it but he also ended up hitting Tolle in the process," she said clutching her hands which laid on her lap. It was hard for her to remember that moment.

Kira started to shake a little. He'd barely been able to get over what happened to him with Fllay and now he had to go through with the possibility of losing a friend. "I-is he going to live?" he asked in a bit of a shaky voice.

"We don't know. He looked pretty bad the last time I saw him. To tell the truth, it would actually surprise me if he did manage to live. Athrun taking it pretty hard since he was the one driving when the car hit him," Cagalli said as she saw tears start to fall down Kira's face but she saw Lacus run over to comfort him.

"Mrs. Koenig is on her way over. Then her and Cagalli are going to the hospital to see Tolle. Are you going to go?" Mrs. Yamato asked as the doorbell rang signaling that Mrs. Koenig was there.

Kira stood up and nodded his head. Tolle was his friend and he wanted to be there to make sure that he was going to be alright. "Yes, I'm going to go," he said quickly running to grab his shoes so they could get going quickly.

He came down the stairs and was soon assaulted by Tolle's grieving mother. He comforted her to the best of his ability. "We should go. We don't know what might happen," he said regretfully as him, Tolle's mother, and Cagalli walked out to Athrun's car.

"Hurry up!" Cagalli yelled in the driver's seat as the two of them got into the car. Tolle's mother sat in the front and Kira took a back seat. Cagalli looked at Tolle's mother and felt sorry for her. She wondered if she knew the exact story of how her son died. "I'm sorry for what happened," she muttered as she kept her eyes in front of her.

Tolle's mother wiped a tear from her eyes and looked towards Cagalli. "Please don't blame yourself. I heard what happened and I must tell you that I don't blame you. It was an accident. I just wish that I could know who it was that was actually at fault," she said before it went silent again for the rest of the ride.


"Damn it! Hold still, will you!" Dearka yelled as he tried to hold back a rather frantic Miriallia. 'Why exactly did I give her a ride just so she can see her stupid boyfriend? Now it's more like I'm babysitting.' he thought as he struggled to hold the petite woman back.

"Let me go Dearka! I need to see Tolle! I need to see that he's alright!" Miriallia yelled as she swung her arm back nailing Dearka in the jaw causing him to stumble back into the wall and release the hold he had on her.

Dearka got up while rubbing his jaw. "Damn crazy woman! You could've broken my jaw!" he yelled seeing her now running to the door that Tolle was rushed into an hour prior. He groaned, "This woman's hard to control and I had to do that for the past hour. Stupid Athrun, forcing me to do this," he grumbled under his breath even though he was kind of glad for the opportunity as well.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the doctor finally come out of the emergency room. 'Good now he'll be on the receiving end of her yelling.' He thought with a sigh of relief more than happy that his jaw didn't have to suffer anymore brutal punishments.

Miriallia ran up to the doctor as quickly as she could as tears streamed down her face. "Please tell me, is he going to be ok?" she said clutching the doctor's shirt as she looked up at him with a look of helplessness.

The doctor gently took Miriallia's hands and pried them away from his short. "Mr. Koenig has sustained severe head injuries as well as broken several bones and lost a severe amount of blood. I'm sorry to say that it isn't looking too good for him," The doctor said. He hated giving bad news but he didn't want to lie to anyone either.

Miriallia was shocked by the news and stumbled back a few feet before running into Dearka's firm chest. "T-that can't be," she muttered as her eyes widened and more tears fell down her face. She felt Dearka put a comforting hand on her shoulder but forcefully shrugged it off. She took a few uneasy steps forward before speaking again. "I-is there anything that I can do?" she asked as her body shook.

The doctor looked at his clipboard and then looked at Miriallia with a tired look. "He's in serious need of blood. Unfortunately we're running low on his blood type around her because of a really bad accident that occurred over a week ago. We don't have the right resources to help him at the moment," he said sadly while rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"I-I'll be glad to offer blood if it means that it'll help," she managed to stutter. She heard chuckling from behind her and turned with a glare towards Dearka. "And what the hell is so funny Dearka?" she asked with an icy tone to her voice.

Dearka calmed down a bit and looked at her. "Oh nothing. Go ahead and help him if you want to. It'll probably just kill him anyways," he muttered crossing his arms over his chest and he leaned against a wall as Miriallia continued to glare at him. He just tried to ignore it but it did little good.

"Oh what do you know Dearka!" Miriallia yelled at him as she approached him threateningly. She now stood right in front of him and poked her finger rather roughly into his chest. "Why don't you do something anyways?" she yelled at him as more tears fell down her face.

"It's common sense stupid. We have the same blood type and it just doesn't mix with his. AB+ just can't mix with A- blood. It could be deadly to do so," he said in a bit of an annoyed voice.

Miriallia turned to look at the doctor and frowned even more when he just nodded his head in acknowledgement of Dearka's statement. She then turned to Dearka with an accusing glare. "How exactly do you know his and my blood type?" she asked narrowing her eyes at him.

"In case you forgot. I was forced to work at that school blood drive a few weeks ago. One that both you and your boy toy decided to attend. I happened to pick up on a few things there," Dearka said rolling his eyes.

Miriallia just frowned as she took a seat in one of the hospital chairs. "How can I help him then? I feel so useless just sitting around here." She said and then grimaced when a thought came to her. She hated having to rely on Dearka for something. "Do you know anyone else that can help him?" she asked in a pleading voice hoping that he wouldn't be stubborn.

Dearka took a seat as well and put his arms behind his head to get comfortable. "Yamato and his sister, your boyfriend's father all have A- blood. You can also use O- blood on every type of blood type. That's all I can tell you from what I've seen," Dearka said in a know it all voice.

"T-Tolle's father is away on business, and Cagalli just left to go pick up Kira and Tolle's mother," Miriallia said as she burst into another fit of tears. Things were really starting to look really bad.

The doctor looked on with sympathy towards the young girl. He didn't want to say this but from what he'd seen there was probably very little chance of him surviving even if he did get blood. Despite that, there was still a chance but they did need quite a bit of blood for that to happen. "Please, we'll need some blood soon if he's to survive," he said with regret laced in his voice.

Miriallia wracked her brain for anyone else that she knew had a matching blood type. However, she only knew a few and some weren't very assuring. "There's Fllay," she said but she heard a snort from Dearka that clearly said, 'fat chance.' Miriallia reluctantly knew that Dearka was right. She'd considered Fllay a friend for a short amount of time before she saw what Fllay liked to do to people. She knew the woman was very selfish so Miriallia didn't think she'd be able to rely on her for this.

Almost at that exact moment, Athrun came walking into the room with a small cup of coffee in his hands. It had been a very stressful day and he felt like he could really use a lot of caffeine in his system. He heard crying and looked towards Miriallia but she did everything she could to not look at him.

Dearka saw Athrun come in and stood up. He walked over to Athrun and then pushed him rather roughly to the doctor. "There's your man doc," he said finally remembering that Athrun was O-, or at least that's what he thought. So he could be used in just about any blood.

Miriallia finally looked up at Athrun when she heard Dearka say that. It gave her a bit of hope to know that at least Athrun was able to do something even if he did unintentionally put Tolle in here in the first place.

Athrun looked a bit confused because he had absolutely no idea what was going on in there. "What's going on?" he asked looking between Dearka, Miriallia, and then the doctor hoping for some sort of answer.

We're trying to find someone with a matching blood type to Mr. Koenig. Apparently, you seem to have some sort of blood type that matches according to this young man," he said pointing to Dearka. "Just to be sure, what's you're blood type?" he asked writing a few things on the clipboard.

Athrun wracked his brain trying to remember. Then it dawned on him after a few moments. "I think it was O-. I'd be glad to help considering that in some ways, this was my fault," Athrun said taking a few steps towards the doctor and then followed him to the backroom.

The room was silent after the two of them left. Miriallia then turned and stared at Dearka making him feel a little uncomfortable. "What?" he asked fidgeting under the gaze of the woman before him.

Miriallia actually managed a smile towards Dearka. "You actually did something useful for once. Tolle could actually be saved because of you. Thank you," Miriallia said before taking her seat once again and started probably the most annoying part about this. Waiting to see what happens.

Dearka was a bit speechless for a few moments after that. Never in his life would he think that Miriallia would actually say something good to him. Usually she was yelling at him. He had to admit that it was a nice change of pace. He then just smirked before sitting down. He had nothing better to do as it was.
