Mysterious Secretary…

hey guys, what up. now am sorry if it was a late update you know how school keeps you busy and all lol. any way hope you like this chap and I'm nearly done with the story. thank god. hehe...

Cagalli turned around to face Auel. She muttered a curse when she was caught during her rescue.

"Oh my bad…did I come in a bad time" Auel said acting all innocent.

"O that no you didn't" Cagalli sarcastically and continued. "But you did kind-a kill the moment"

"My bad but no worries I'll make it better by finishing you of" Auel then looked at his watch.

"O and would you look at that, you're 15 minutes early, that eager to see me?" Auel asked mockingly.

"Ok seriously you've got to stop doing that" Cagalli like it was the most obvious thing. Athrun just stood there looking at them…ok more like hiding behind Cagalli. What can the guy do, he's got no weapons and compared to Auel, his hand to hand combat is no match.

"Yeah I guess you're right, let's finish this shall we?" Auel said as he was about to take his gun out.

Cagalli in a hurry took out some thick, sharp pins out from her belt at the waist and threw it at Auel. Auel dodged it but it was kind of hard to see the pins so got one caught in his wrist, just above his veins.

While Auel was busy dodging, Cagalli took out two guns from her waist belt (behind) and kicked the chair to Auel.

"We shall" She said while telling Athrun to hide behind…which he was already doing.

"Bitch" Auel cursed as he hit the chair away from him. He took his gun out and started shooting Cagalli. Cagalli dodged the bullets easily. Over the years she learned to doge bullets with ease which is kind of weird since you could hardly see the bullets…??? Hm...

When she got a chance to shoot back, she shot Auel in both his legs.

"Arghh" Auel cried out in pain as he drooped down to the ground in pain. Athrun saw blood running down heavily on Auel's knees, so he looked away. Seeing blond made him feel queasy. Talk about wimp. Cagalli stood walked over Auel and kicked his gun away from his hands or out of his reach. She looked down onto him and knocked him out with her gun.

She then picked up the gun.

"Zala, we're leaving" She said. He looked at her and out of no where, she threw Auel's gun at him.

"Wh-what the hell…I can't use this thing." Athrun said panicking. Cagalli at him and replied a while after.

"Then just hold it but when the time comes I'm sure you'll know how to use it" Cagalli said and walked out of the room making sure no one was around first. Athrun followed close but too close.

They moved down hallways to hallways. Cagalli thought that talking with Shinn right now would blow her cover. So she used her instincts to lead her way out of the place.

"Ok I think we're on the 2nd floor now and it seems there are a lot of guards here and a party going on. So I need you to be extra quiet. Got it?" Cagalli said to Athrun with out looking back.

"Yeah…" Athrun whispered clutching the gun Cagalli gave him with both hands. As they turned into a corner, Athrun looked back as saw a shadow that came out of no where and scared the hell out of him so he shot it.

Cagalli snapped her head back at Athrun and stared at him as if he was stupid.

"He blew our cover….THE DAMN GUY BLEW OUR COVER!" Cagalli screamed in her mind as she seethed with anger.

"What the hell were you thinking?" Cagalli hissed at Athrun, her eyes narrowed into slits.

"I-I-I I saw a shadow and freaked out and I shot it…" Athrun stuttered. Cagalli swore she was about to wring his neck but then was stopped by the voices.

"Damn" She cursed. She heard foot steps and voices running down the same hall they were in but coming from the opposite direction.

"No point running now…looks like we gotta finish'em off. The less the better." Cagalli said but more to herself. Athrun was about to say something but Cagalli beat him to it.

"Stay close and don't wonder off. Also keep your guard up I don't want you injured." Cagalli said in a serious tone.

She took out two daggers, one in each hand and got into a fight stance, waiting for the guards to come or whoever they were.

Finally big well huge men came running towards Cagalli and Athrun. Athrun looked at them, there were about ten guards and more coming. He then looked at Cagalli.

"Can she really take them on?" Athrun questioned himself.

Just when the guards were about 4 meters away, Cagalli ran towards them her dagger ready to kill. Her face was serious and focused on her opponent's moves.

One of the guys threw a punch at Cagalli, she ducked as the second guy was about to strike, she stabbed him in the stomach. Then she sliced the first guy's neck.

She got back into a fighting stance as the other guys crowded around her. She was surprised that so many guys could crowd around her in the hallway. Guess the hall way was wider than she thought.

She looked around to all of the guards, turning around in a circle eyeing every guy. Studying them, trying to work out which one is the strongest and which one is the weakest. While she was at it, she was trying to come up with a plan also.

Out of the corner of the eye she caught one guy diving into tackle her. Just in time she dodged it and moved to one side where she elbowed the guy next to her. 3 other guys moved to attack her but she managed to knock them out by just striking them with her dagger.

Cagalli by now got tired of wasting time and heck she didn't even know what's going on with Athrun. So she stuffed her daggers back in her thigh straps and took out her gun. Lucky for her these guys didn't have any weapon on them. One by one she shot them. Blood spattered all over her, but she didn't care. It's no difference from all the other bloods that's been splattered on her so many times. One by one the guards fell.

When they were all dead or unconscious, she turned to where Athrun was standing and sighed in relief upon noticing he was unarmed. She strapped her gun back to her belt again and walked over to Athrun.

"We have to hurry and get out of here. There's more guards coming and I don't think I can take another guard out." Cagalli said. Athrun nodded and followed Cagalli. As Cagalli predicted more guards will come for them but she was wrong, no one came until she reached the first floor that is.

Guards were surrounding the whole floor with guns in their hands. A guy stood in the middle of the room. He had long black hair and eyes filled with pure evil. Cagalli glared hard at the guy.

"Wait this isn't the guy that I saw from my first mission. The other guy was old…then…who's this?" Cagalli thought still glaring hard at the guy.

"My, my feisty lil thing you are. I'm surprised you still haven't told Zala who you are" The guy said mocking Cagalli.

"Who are you and that is none of your business" Cagalli hissed not wanting Athrun to know who she was.

"I'm hurt…forgot me all ready" The guy replied in a fake hurt tone.

Cagalli growled warningly. She didn't like playing game, especially in a situation like this.

"Oh silly me, how would you recognise me when I was wearing a disguise then. Old guy ring a bell dear" The guy said finding Cagalli's angry face really amusing.

Cagalli cringed when he said dear. Then her eyes widened and looked at the guy and thought of the old guy's image.

"Freaky…wait he said disguise…now why would he wear a disguise?" Cagalli questioned her self.

"So you're the one who wanted Zala dead huh? Who are you any way?" Cagalli asked. The guy let out a dry laugh…

"My name is Gilbert Durandal and what about you huh? Don't you want to show all of us your pretty little face you keep hiding? Or maybe Zala here would want to know." Gilbert said smirking.

"Shut up" Cagalli hissed. Athrun kept quite but he had to agree with Gilbert. He wanted to see who was behind that mask. Gilbert laughed evilly.

"Well then guess I have to tell him….right Ca-ga-lli" Gilbert said saying her name in syllables. Cagalli glared hard at Gilbert, Gilbert was laughing hard and Athrun's eyes widened.

"Ca…Cagalli…." Athrun whispered. Cagalli looked back at Athrun, she then looked at Gilbert.

"That's it enough talk and bring on the action" Cagalli said while taking of her mask and tossing it a-side. Her words were full of hate it even made Gilbert shiver.

She took out her guns and said to Athrun without looking back.

"I'm sorry I lied but right now you have to trust me and when it's all finished I'll explain" Cagalli said softly forgetting that she was to be cold towards him.

Athrun didn't know what to do. He took him for a while to reply back to Cagalli but then he agreed anyway. He held onto his gun properly and tight.

"Maybe I'll need this anyway…god please help me" Athrun thought.

well yeah that's about it. hope ya'll liked it. please review...
