Chapter 14 - Kira's Decision
Asga - Never expected Dearka to be a rebel angel huh? Wait...didn't I mention it earlier? . Oh well. Enjoy this chapter!
Artgirl150 - I've been getting a lot of reviews from you lately. -smiles- Each time you say 'excellent chapter', did you know? Anyways, thanks and enjoy the chapter!
Anime/Manga Fanatic - I don't know what Reb was thinking when she wrote that...I still can't see it...-thinks- nope...not a clue. Oh well. Also, why isn't 'authoress' allowed to talk?
Pure-Reflection - Ok, here's the update-short response-
KaguyaEvenstar - He's the bad guy, he has to jump to conclusions. And you're right. Kira has no intention of becoming 'ruler'. That Idea was tossed out the window along with the idea he might be human -see how stupid that idea is? That's why it's thrown out- Enjoy the chapter!
Bee Bee - Wise huh? Yea...I have my moments. I'm glad my reviewers liked this chapter, cause I thought the sudden Yzak thing would make them...hold on...bigger Yzak thing in this chapter...I think...mustn't look...down...mustn't...look...I'll stop responding to you now so I don't look...
Infinitis - No worries about not reviewing. I get reviews and I'm happy! Whole story is written out, so yea, More is on the way. I feel I need to wait at least one day between posts so that ppl can read it and reveiw. -smile-
KariHP - I know! Gundam SEED is great as a manga-has only read one vol...vol 3...I think- It is of course better to watch as an anime in my opinion, but I seem drawn to the flashy colors of my television set, so my vote doesn't count. Also, it gives me something to do on Fridays. If I had to wait for a new manga issue, I think I'd die! The suspense would kill me. -smile- Enjoy!
Ok, Chapter Time! Wow...No flames yet! 79 reviews! Wow...I feel loved o.o I'll shut up now. Read and Review!
"Why would I want...to kill you?" Kira asked. Yzak looked taken aback.
"Why? I tried to kill you! I was planning to rip your wings off! I kidnapped you!" He yelled. "I hurt your friends! Used your connection charms against you! Idiot! Don't you get it?"
"I know that...but...I still wouldn't want to kill you. Just because you threw me to earth, made me grow up without a family, and expected me to die...I don't care." Kira stopped there to take a few deep breaths.
"You're an idiot!" Yzak yelled. "You don't care...You don't care that you had to live alone?"
"No." Athrun interrupted. "He cares very much that he had to live alone. Kira was devastated by the fact that he had to live alone...but Kira...he's just not a killer. He doesn't want anyone to get hurt."
"He always wants to do things himself, he never wants any help. But he always wants to help others." Nicol began. "Krylancelo...he's just...that type of person."
"Sure he's got power." Dearka said, even though he didn't know Kira that well. "But he's also got heart." He smirked and gave them a thumb up.
"Yea...He's alright." Cagalli stood up, she'd been sitting on the floor this whole time. "He's the best flier I know, and he's in love." She laughed. Lacus and Kira blushed.
"Love...?" Yzak looked from Kira to Lacus, then back again. "With a human?" he asked.
"Yea, so don't hurt him. If you do, I'll be after you again." Cagalli joked, smiling.
"You...really don't hold it against me...that I tried to...kill you?" Yzak asked, almost at a loss for words. Kira walked slowly towards him. He put a hand on Yzak's shoulder.
"Don't worry...so much about it..." He smiled. Yzak took one look at Kira; battered, bruised, injured, yet so forgiving...and collapsed to the ground. "Hey, are you ok?" Kira bent down next to him.
"Idiot. You're the one who's injured, I just hadarrows through my wing. Don't ask me if I'm ok!" Yzak pushed him away. His body was shaking, as if he were angry, and his head was down. Yzak's wings curled up around him like a protective wall. Kira heard faint sounds...sounds that no one else heard...he heard...crying.
Cagalli gasped silently as she picked up Yzak's thoughts. Dearka looked surprised too, but was really trying to hide it.
'I hurt them so much...but they still forgave me...How is this possible? How is it possible that I've overlooked so much? My plan, seems so stupid right now. I don't deserve to be forgiven. I deserve to be damned to hell. Why don't they see that? I'm not worth being nice too...They should just-'
"We should just what?" Cagalli suddenly broke in. Everyone stared at her. "Kill you? Leave you here to die? Tie you to a rock and throw you in an ocean? Yea. We should. But we aren't going to. So stop it already, ok?"
"How'd you-" Yzak started, Dearka interrupted.
"You can...read minds too?" He asked in disbelief.
"Too?" Kira repeated. "So that's your power? You can read minds?" Dearka smirked nervously. "So that's how you knew my human name!" Dearka nodded.
"I can...read minds...yea...Of course...Well, mom'll be proud...she always wanted me to have that power." She didn't seem to proud of this fact though.
"Stop reading my mind!" Yzak stood up, drying his eyes before anyone saw. "Don't poke into my privacy!"
"Privacy? Even if I couldn't read your mind, you're so easy to read! It's almost like reading a book!" Cagalli snapped, walking towards Yzak with a glare on. "Now get over it! Let's go!" She grabbed his arm.
"Where are you taking me woman?" he asked.
"Can't you call anybody by their name?" Cagalli asked. "My name is Cagalli, the blue haired kid is Athrun, you know Nicol and I guess his name is Dearka. That pink haired girl is Lacus and my brother's name is Krylance-"
"No." Kira broke her sentence.
"What?" Everyone turned to look at him, he seemed to be stabilized.
"My name...it's not Krylancelo anymore." He had on a small smile. "To angels, yea...that is my name. But...I don't want my friends" he looked at Athrun, Dearka, Yzak, and Lacus. "or my family." he looked at Cagalli. "to call me that..."
"But...Kry-"
"Didn't you hear me Cagalli. Don't call me that!" he yelled, wobbling slightly. "Call me Kira. I want you to call me Kira!"
"Alright...If that's what you want." Lacus took a step towards him. "We'll call you that...ok Kira?" Kira smiled.
"Yea yea, now let's go." Cagalli began to pull Yzak up the stairs, Dearka walked over to the stairs and began to climb. Athrun and Nicol smiled and turned to walk out of the room.
"You can take a nice rest now...right Kira?"
'Lacus's voice is...so soft...' Kira thought. 'I also think...that I'll take her up on the offer...to...sleep...'
Kira closed his eyes, smiling. He wobbled backwards slightly, then forward. His wings stopped helping him stand, and Kira fell forward. When he hit the ground, all that was heard was a light 'thud.' Everyone turned around and stopped.
"Kira!" Lacus ran forward. She picked Kira's head up and laid it in her lap. "Come on Kira...wake up angel..." she pleaded softly. "Don't die..." Kira didn't move.
"Don't worry Lacus...he's just unconscious. See? He's breathing." Nicol was standing next to her.
"He'd better not die...not after all the trouble we went through...to save him." Cagalli had left Yzak halfway up the stairs and had run back down. She was now putting on a tough-act.
"Hello?" came a female voice from behind the still open door. "Are you guys still in here?"
"Maria." Nicol turned. "I forgot about her."
"Oh, hi." she stuck her head through the door. "Athrun dearཀ Where's Krylancelo?"
"Uh...well...one, he says not to call him that. He wants you to call him Kira from now on...and two...he's unconscious at the moment." Athrun laughed nervously. Maria glanced behind him.
"Oh my! Kry-Kira!" she flew down. "How long had he been out?"
"Only about a minute." Nicol assured her.
"Well, let's hurry!" she carefully picked Kira up. "We need to get him out of here."
Yzak watched as this all happened. He realized how much these people truly cared about Kira. Yzak saw how much they were hurt, now for the first time. Two lone tears fell from his eyes as he realized how he had nearly torn them apart...nearly destroyed everything. Then he was back to being himself. (Kira's Tearful Epiphany of ep...um...30 something! Two stinking tears! Dang overexagurated!)
They had left him on the stairs, unwatched, un-hated. Did they not care if he was to turn around and shoot them? He cleared his throat.
"Excuse me." he said in a slightly agitated voice. They turned to look at him. "Aren't you forgetting something?"
"Yzak?" Maria asked in disbelief. "Aren't you the bad guy? Shouldn't you be, I don't know...knocked out in a corner somewhere?" Yzak sighed in aggravation.
"Yea! I should be. But that ass over there is such an idiot he won't even injure me!" he yelled, pointing. Maria looked at Kira, then back at Yzak.
"Then...who wounded you?" she asked. Everyone pointed to Dearka.
"And you are?" Maria asked. Dearka exhaled.
"My name is Dearka. We met when I was 8..." he said this as if he expected Maria to remember him. She didn't, so he sighed. "Come on...we'd best get Kira out of here..."
Maria flew up to the top of the stairs and exited the room. Shortly after, she was followed by Athrun, Lacus, Cagalli, and Dearka. Nicol walked up to Yzak, who still couldn't believe that they had left.
"Come on. We'll get left behind." Nicol said, putting a hand on Yzak's shoulder before walking out. Yzak glared.
"You people are too trusting. And what is it with you people and touching my shoulder!" But he followed Nicol out none the less.
