Review Replies
To-AsuCaga01. You will find out in this chapter who the masked guy was. And also thanks for reading my other story.
To-Milisante. I wanted a line that said that the plot wasn't over. And that line sounded cool so I picked it. And what do you mean everyone is okay, Knight died. I guess my OCs don't count LOL.
To-SamuraiGirl7. First of all you shouldn't be the one apologizing. I shouldn't have said those thoughts. They should have stayed in my head. I'm sorry. Nine golden retriever puppies, wow that must be hard taken care of them. I have trouble with my two dogs. It sounds like you got a hectic life. I should keep my mouth shut; I sometimes forget that people here have lives, unlike me. A friend with cancer; that has to be tough. I've had a few people around me die from cancer. It is so sad! I also know a few people who are fighting cancer. Hopefully your friend will be able to fight the cancer too. Thanks I write a mystery kind of style because it is my second favorite genre in reading. You had a person review one chapter and then not review for 12 chapters. You must have been like 'Oh, you are still reading' LOL.
To-pinkberry. I still would like to know what you meant by 'your style for this chap is kind of familiar hmm.' What did you mean? You are driving me nuts trying to figure out what you meant. SO PLEASE PLEASE tell me what you meant PLEASE!
Thanks for the reviews (Cries) they mean so much too me.

Plans
Cagalli watched as the person who was currently bugging her was being persistent. Working at the bakery had become harder since Knight had been killed. The police had found out that Knight's killer was Naira. They guessed that she killed Knight, and then couldn't stand the pressure so she killed herself. But Cagalli and the gang knew better then that. They knew that Naira was shot and killed by someone. But they guessed that Naira must have been the one that killed Knight.
She was currently getting bugged by the person who had caused all this trouble in the first place. She sent Athrun a glare telling him she was in know mood to talk to him. But Athrun either wasn't getting the message or he didn't care; for he just continued to try and talk to her. Cagalli was in no mood to talk to Athrun. What she really wanted to do was punch him in the mouth; for he was the cause of her grief, worry, kidnapping, and her almost death.
"Athrun leave me alone," Cagalli hissed.
"Cagalli are you still mad?" he asked.
"No, I'm as happy as I can possibly be," Cagalli said through gritted teeth.
"Great, so I was thinking that maybe we could go out to dinner sometime," Athrun said nervously. 'Why am I nervous? It is just a date. And I don't even like Cagalli like that,' Athrun thought.
"You mean a date right," Cagalli clarified.
"Yeah," Athrun said hastily.
"Let me think about it," Cagalli replied. "Okay, I thought about it."
"And your answer is?" Athrun asked.
Cagalli walked over to Athrun who was leaning against the counter. She got on her tippy toes. 'Is she going to kiss me on the cheek?' Athrun wondered. 'What, where did that thought come from?' Athrun thought.
Cagalli rose up as high as she could. She put her mouth next to Athrun's ear. "I wouldn't go on a date with you if you were the last guy on earth," She screamed in his ear as loud as she could. She smirked in satisfaction as she watched Athrun jump and then hold his ear.
"You didn't have to yell," Athrun snapped. He then walked out of the bakery while holding his ear. He walked down the street ignoring all the weird looks people gave him.
'There that takes care of that annoyance, now just one more to go,' Cagalli thought. She narrowed he eyes on the ten year old boy who was sitting at one of the tables writing in a notebook. "Clem what are you doing?" Cagalli asked as she walked over to him.
"Writing," Clem replied.
"I can see that but what are you writing," Cagalli huffed.
"No of your business nosy," Clem snapped. He grabbed his notebook and left the bakery.
"And that takes care of the other annoyance," Cagalli smiled.
"Athrun you owe us," Kira shouted.
Athrun had come back to his house to find Kira waiting for him in his study. Athrun walked over to his chair behind the desk and sat down in it. "No Kira," he snapped.
"Come one Athrun you owe all of us," Kira reminded.
"That doesn't mean I'm going to take you all on a vacation," he replied.
"Would you rather pay each of us?" Kira questioned.
"Fine I will pay for the vacation," Athrun mumbled in defeat. "Where were you thinking?"
"I was thinking we all take a train to Onogoro. Then we spend a few days there, and then we ride a train back," Kira explained.
"Fine," Athrun groaned. "We need five tickets."
"Five? We need a lot more then five," Kira told him.
"And how many do we need?" Athrun asked.
"Well, there is me, you, Cagalli, Lacus, Elek, Stella, Shinn, Dearka, Yzak, Nicol, Miriallia, and Clem. So you need to buy twelve," Kira replied.
"There is no way, I'm paying for twelve train tickets, and twelve hotel rooms," Athrun shouted.
"We only need three hotel rooms," Kira told him.
"Three?" Athrun questioned.
"You see me, you, Elek, and Clem can sleep in one room. Yzak, Nicol, Dearka, and Shinn in another and the girls in the last room," Kira explained.
"Okay I understand, but how do I owe all these people?" Athrun asked.
"You owe Stella, Nicol, Shinn, Dearka, and Yzak for helping you. You owe Cagalli, me, Elek, and Lacus well you know why. And you owe Clem, and Miriallia because of what happened Knight was killed," Kira explained.
'At least Kira doesn't know that more then them helped me. I would be paying for all the rooms if that were to happen,' Athrun sighed. "Fine I will buy the tickets, and pay from the rooms," Athrun replied.
"Great," Kira replied he then started walked out of the room. But he stopped just as he was about to leave "Oh, Athrun I was wondering if you could do me one tiny little favor."
"I already agreed to the vacation," Athrun reminded.
"No, it has nothing to do with that," Kira replied. "Clem was going to be sent back to the agency he came from. So I told him he could live with me, but I went by my house and everything was torn up. The walls were all smashed, and the flooring was ripped up. So I was wondering if you would pay for the repairs," Kira asked.
"Sure Kira," Athrun replied.
"And I was wondering if Elek, Cagalli, myself, and Clem could stay here while my house gets repaired," Kira asked.
"Sure," Athrun answered.
"Thanks Athrun," Kira told him as he left the room.
'I had to say yes, even if I go insane because of it,' Athrun thought.
Kira walked into the small house. "Clem," he called out, but he got no answer. He walked up the stairs, and went to Clem's bedroom. He knocked, then opened the door. He walked in, and saw Clem sitting on his bed fingering a small chip between his fingers. Kira walked over and sat down next to Clem. "What is that?" he asked.
"A tracking device," Clem monotonously replied.
"How does it work?" Kira asked.
"You place the chip on what you want to track. Then you insert this usb driver into a computer and it will give you the coordinates. Then you just find out where those coordinates are," Clem explained.
"Interesting," Kira replied.
"Not really," Clem replied. He then flicked the chip against the wall. 'I have no use for it,' Clem thought. "What did you want anyway?" Clem asked not caring if it sounded rude.
"Oh yeah, I wanted to tell you we all are going on a trip," Kira told Clem.
"And by we you mean just you and your friends," Clem rephrased.
"No you too," Kira corrected.
"And if I say no?" Clem asked.
"You are forced to go. I'm not giving you a choice," Kira told him.
"And when is this trip?" Clem asked.
"The train leaves tomorrow morning," Kira answered. "So be packed by then."
"You are the worst," Clem said monotonously.
"What?" Kira said startled.
"You came up with a worse torture then the other four," Clem clarified.
"Yep, so you better listen and do what I say," Kira joked as he left the room.
Clem looked down and realized he was crushing the usb driver. He let go and angrily threw it against the wall. 'I better get packing,' Clem thought. He hopped off his bed and walked over to the closet in his room. He slid the wooden doors out of the way, and pulled out a gray suitcase. He set the suitcase on his bed, then he opened it.
'What to bring?' Clem thought. He walked over to his dresser. He opened the bottom drawer, and took out the thick blue wool blanket that rest in the drawer. Then Clem pulled out the other items in the drawer. He set the five items on the top of the dresser. The five items he set down were a handgun, a large plastic baggy, a knife with dried blood on it, some tinfoil, and a black helmet. He picked up the helmet and looked at it. 'I better get rid of this,' he thought. 'But not right now,' he thought. Clem then set the helmet back into the drawer.
Clem then grabbed the knife and set it in the drawer as well. 'I need to get rid of that as well,' he thought. He grabbed the gun and looked at the bottom. 'I knew it,' Clem thought. He walked over to a plastic bag that was sitting in his closet. He pulled out of the bag; a small can of black spray paint. 'Good thing I bought this today,' he thought. He walked back over to the dresser, and he set the gun on the plastic baggy. He took off the cap of the spray paint and began spraying the bottom of the gun. He sprayed until he could no longer see the two initials on the bottom. 'Sorry, Athrun Zala you are not getting this back,' he snickered.
Clem snapped the cap back on the can. Then he threw it back into the closet. He grabbed the gun and set it in the plastic baggy, then he zipped it shut. He then grabbed the tinfoil and wrapped it good and tight around the baggy. Clem opened the top drawer, and pulled out a roll of tape. He then taped the tinfoil, so it wouldn't come open. Clem then put the tinfoil wrap into his suitcase. Then he grabbed a bunch of clothes and covered it up with them. He shut the suitcase then set it on the floor. Clem sat there on his bed waiting until he heard the front door slam shut.
'Kira is going on his date with Miss Clyne,' Clem thought. He got up and walked over to the dresser. He opened the bottom drawer and pulled out the helmet and the knife. He then left his room and went outside.
Clem grabbed a shovel that was sitting next to the house. He walked over to the weeping willow that was in the backyard. He went under so he was standing right next to the trunk. He then started digging. Was the whole Clem dug was big enough he dropped the mask and knife in the hole then he covered it back up. He made it look like the ground was never touched, then he walked back into the house.
The lightning flashed lighting up the dimly lit room. A man sat in the corner of the room. Soft knocking told him that someone wanted to speak with him. He pressed a button and the door to the room opened. A guy with green hair walked into the room.
"What do you want Sting?" the man asked.
"Auel was hurt, his arm badly bled," Sting replied.
"He will live," the man snorted. "Now get to the real point," he shouted.
"Kira got away," Sting whispered.
"You bumbling fool," the man shouted. "No matter I happen to know that Kira and his friend are going on a trip to Onogoro," the man replied.
"I take it you want me to go to Onogoro," Sting stated.
"Yes, but not just you. I have already arranged for Kira to meet up with a few more friends of mine," he explained. "You and Auel will leave in a two days."
"What about Auel's arm?" Sting asked.
"I will worry about it," he explained. "Now go," he ordered. After Sting had left the man pressed a button in front of him. A screen turned on showing Auel under a strange machine. "Good, get his arm fixed," he said into the microphone in front of him.
"Right away sir," the men replied.
"Oh wait, I want you to go and erase the memory of him getting shot in the arm," the man ordered. "I want you to change it so Auel thinks that Kira was the one who shot him," the man explained.
"Right away sir," the men replied.
Author Note
40,000 Words Yea!
Yea! I'm getting closer to revealing the main plot of the story Yea!
Hopefully you figured out now who the masked person that saved Cagalli was. If not I really worry about you. Also if anyone figured out that it was Clem, good job. There were a few clues that pointed to him. One what he did in the last chapter. He used his brain to calculate the direction to throw the blade. Also a few other things pointed to Clem. He precise way he killed the guard that was sent to get Cagalli. And his quick thinking of using the mirror sitting on the desk. But I think most if not all of you got caught by the red herring that I set up. Saying that the masked person was taller then Cagalli.
Also how was the last chapter I forgot to ask? What I mean is was the action written okay.
I'm also going to plug my story Door to Darkness. The first chapter is out, and the second is with my beta reader. So expect that soon.
I also have decided to go for a goal of 100 reviews before chapter 16. I would like to make it, but I won't be too crushed if I don't.
Anyway see ya next time I update.
