Athrun shot a few shadow demons, crushing their faces against the wall. He broke many bones as he looked around everywhere he could, in search for Cagalli. His heart was in a state of panic, knowing that something was wrong with her.
A shadow demon stood in the corner and Athrun grabbed him thinking of him as an enemy.
"I don't want to fight," Sean said, "I need to tell you something."
"I've had enough bullshit from Rau's puppets," Athrun said punching him in the face.
"Cagalli," Sean spoke out catching Athrun's attention, "She's dying."
"I swear if you want to live in the next two seconds, you'll tell me where she is," Athrun calmly.
"I'll take you there, but you have to keep me alive," Sean said sternly.
"Deal," Athrun said and flitted to a disgustful area.
"In here," Sean said kicking the room open. Athrun's nose immediately filled with Cagalli's blood.
Sean turned on the lights and the sight before Athrun made him sick.
"Oh god no," Athrun said walking up to her and immediately taking out the knife stuck in her. Cagalli didn't move her body sagged forward. He removed her chains and held her feeling for a pulse. It was very weak.
"Don't die on me Cagalli," Athrun spoke out lifting her body delicately as her eyes remained wide open but unresponsive.
"Can you hear me Cagalli, it's your Athrun…only yours," Athrun whispered tears forming in his eyes.
"I see you found Cagalli," Rau's voice said coming in, "Sean…I didn't expect you of all people to betray me."
"You deserve it," Sean said staring at Athrun and sensed his power shoot beyond even Rau's. It surged through his veins and Cagalli as he looked with red blood eyes at Rau.
"You die here," Athrun said placing Cagalli in Sean's arms.
"You really think you can kill me Athrun?" Rau mocked, "Don't be stupid."
"Be a man Rau," Athrun said, "Stop hiding like a coward and fight for a change."
"I always fight fair," Rau said back a bit angry.
"Prove it," Athrun said placing the first blow on Rau and sending him a few cells down. Rau tried to change but Athrun's mind stopped it.
"What did you do?" Rau said.
"I'll get a fair fight," Athrun growled, "Fight me Rau."
"You're blinded to see Athrun that it wasn't me that killed Cagalli," Rau said, "It was you and you're cheating ass."
"No," Athrun said stabbing Rau, "It was you. That girl was sent by you."
"Then Cagalli must have not trusted you enough to believe that you actually cheated on her," Rau said blocking Athrun's punch.
"Cagalli loves me Rau," Athrun said, "and even if she doesn't I'll always love her and be there to protect her."
Rau didn't have anything to come back with.
"I was blessed to have Cagalli in my life and even if I have to give her up to make sure she's happy I will, but I would never give her up to die unless I could die with her," Athrun said crushing Rau's ribs.
Rau coughed and wheezed wiping the purple off his mouth and smirked, "You're the first to get me to bleed."
"And I'll be the first to kill you off too," Athrun said blowing stronger and stronger punches on his enemy.
Rau couldn't block or dodge because he didn't enough time too. Athrun was focused on killing him and he could let nothing get in the ways of his goal…unless it was Cagalli.
Rau smirked; she was his only ticket to freedom.
"Even if you kill me Athrun, Cagalli will still die," Rau said
"I'm done with your talking," Athrun growled taking out his gun.
Rau looked a bit concerned.
"Fresh of the shelf Rau, this gun is made especially for you," Athrun said, shooting Rau in the Rau and he yelled out in pain.
"What the hell is this," Rau said looking at his skin turn purple.
"A little recipe Kira and I came up with," Athrun said, "top secret…and only Cagalli was the expectation to it because she added the extra ingredient"
"What ingredient," Rau asked
"She thought it would be funny for you to feel how castration felt like," Athrun said, "I think it'll be a good lesson to you. And after what you did to my mother and my love, this is nothing."
Rau had genuine fear and he said, "You bastard."
Athrun smirked and said, "I told you Rau, the next time we met, it would be your funeral. I'm glad I was the one who shot you to death. I know that my method isn't very traditional, but it's the 21st century and things change."
Rau laughed and said, "I can't die Athrun, if I die your Cagalli will too."
"Well I can't reverse the process, so I guess I have to say goodbye Cagalli," Athrun said sarcastically.
"You son of a bitch, you'll pay for this," Rau said
"Commenting my mother won't stop your death," Athrun said as Kira came in panting and with blood on him.
Athrun punched Rau for the last time sending him to the ground and he said, "Hopefully this pain will compensate a hundredth of what you gave to Cagalli, and your death maybe a twentieth. I'll bring my Cagalli back Rau, that's my promise to you."
Athrun turned back to Kira and said, "Burn him alive."
Kira nodded and said, "I've already got May on the scene."
Athrun gave a grim look and said, "She'll need more then May."
Athrun rushed to Sean who was already up with Cagalli. Athrun took her form him and thanked him. May almost let out a heave seeing the sight, but closed up her wound in matter of minutes.
"She's not responding to anything Athrun," May said, flicking the light over her eyes, "We need to get her to the base, and clean her out completely and fast."
"We don't have time. I can do a bit," Athrun said, "I'll take out the toxin if you can give the blood."
She nodded and inserting a needle connected to a blood bag it in various places on Cagalli.
"Where are the most toxins?" Athrun asked.
"Her abdomen," May said pointing to exact area.
Athrun sunk her teeth suck her blood with her toxin and continues until he actually tasted her real blood. His body could clean itself, but Cagalli's wasn't strong enough.
May and him continued this process until May was satisfied she could survive for teh next 24 hours. Athrun then aided in putting blood back into her system. Dearka and Yzak backed him up from oncoming shadow demons and slowly Athrun heard Cagalli's heart beat stabilize.
"Thank god," Athrun said digging his head in her hair inhaling her scent. She was going to make it.
"We should get her to the base," said May "We have facilities there that can progress her health. Her leg is shattered and a lot of her bones are still healing in a deformed manner from fractures. Her stomach needs to be restiched and pumped out, and her uterus has been stabbed through as well. There a chance she could lose the ability to have children."
Athrun nodded mutely and only thinking about that fact that she was alive and living in front of his yes. After bandaging Cagalli up, he left her in the care of Stellar and May.
Athrun helped everyone in finishing the base off, and asked Sean to fill him in. Luna approved of the count and they were ready to leave, until the rest of the army arried. Sean and Dennis were free to leave, but Sean said he had to explain some things. After and hour of flitting they all arrived at the base, dirty exhausted and worried. Cagalli wasn't showing any signs of being alive. She and May were rushed off into the emergency room, while Athrun was forced to here what Sean had to say.
Sean went over in detail what happened to Cagalli.
"Cagalli stayed strong for the first few weeks. It seemed as if Rau couldn't break her soul, even if he did everything to break her body," Sean said, "Dennis did all she could to fix Cagalli, up but Cagalli was getting no energy because she wasn't eating. And when she would, her body would reject it, so we had to keep her on a feeding tube."
Athrun looked away from everyone as he heard the story.
"And then the rape," Sean said.
Athruns whipped around in shock and said, "Fuck no."
Sean grimaced and Athrun crush the table with his anger and he said, "Cagalli. Oh god."
"That's what I thought," Sean said, "To everyone it seemed as if he raped her, even to Cagalli herself."
"My Cagalli," Athrun said crying out, "How could he? And I couldn't even stop that."
"You did," Sean said.
"What?" Kira said.
"Rau knocked her out when he was about to do it," Sean said, "But you took that moment to infiltrate another base and he had to leave."
"But you said?" Athrun said confused looking at Cagalli through the glass as she was surrounded by a bubble.
"I know what I said," Sean said, "He didn't get a chance to rape her, but that doesn't mean he didn't make it seem like he did."
"Shit," Athrun said, "Cagalli thinks."
"She lost herself there," Sean said, "She cried a lot and resigned herself to silence."
May came into the room and said, "She went into a coma."
Athrun froze there as he heard Sean finish, "it's like she gave up living."
Athrun shook his head said, "No, Cagalli will not leave me like this, at least until I give her the truth."
He walked to her room and relaxed. Cagalli had a power over him the ebbed away all his anger when she was near him. He took his hand and placed it on his cheek.
"Everything I've done Cagalli, I've done it for you," Athrun said, "I love you Cagalli, believe me. If you ever loved me Cagalli, please wake up for me…just once."
Athrun sat there and waited.
In my mind…
I was stuck in a dark place…engulfed in solitude as whispers filled my ears.
"Let me out," I called, "I want to leave."
"Hate him," a voice called out. I looked up to see another version of me.
"Hate who?" I told myself back
"Athrun," she said, "It'll make the pain easier on your soul."
"It doesn't matter because I'm going to die anyways, I'll do it still loving Athrun," I said.
"Foolish girl," the other me said sitting on the black, "What will you gain by loving him, but pain."
"I can't hate him," I said, "I loved him too much to hate him."
My other half lifted my face and said, "Look into these eyes."
And all I saw were pool of void amber.
"Is this the life you want?" she asked, "How you want to end your life, with this void?"
"No," I said
"Then hate him Cagalli, even a little emotion will help, hate will help you," she said
"No," I said shaking my head, "I refuse to."
"Then face the music Cagalli, because you'll be in this darkness until you can accept that you were never meant for Athrun, and he used you."
"HE DIDN'T" I yelled, "Maybe I wasn't made for him, but I let him use me."
"You're disgusting," she replied, "Look what you've become a love sick idiot. You're blinded your values for a guy."
"I…I" I stuttered.
"You know I'm right," she said, "Forget about him and move on."
"But how?" she asked
"The easy way or hard?" she asked, "Easy would be to hate him, the hard would be to forget him."
"I can't do either," I said, "I can't hate him, when I have no reasons to hate him."
"What reason?" she harked, "he used, you, cheated on you, and broke your heart into tiny pieces."
"But why?" I asked myself, "Why would he do that."
"Because he's a player? He didn't love you?" she said
"But why doesn't my heart believe it?" I asked, "I keep hearing his voice. He keeps calling me?"
"That's the portion of your heart that still believe that what happened was a lie, but you saw it with your own eyes Cagalli, is was the truth."
"He couldn't lie to me," I said, "Why would he go through all that trouble to keep me safe. Why would he claim me?"
"You heard that Madison, you were a good fuck," She said laughing.
I winced at the comment and said, "It wasn't just sex with him."
"Are you so sure about that?" she said
"Yes, because he could have had better then me," I said
"He's a vampire Cagalli. Humans are a joke to him, weak and pathetic," she said, "He thought it would be a good joke to play with your heart."
"What about everyone else?" I asked
"Oh come on, he's the leader of all the vampires, they have to listen to their boss."
"Still," I said, "Why would he be bent on claiming me, making sure I didn't die even when I wasn't claimed? A human life should matter to him."
She didn't have a reply and left saying, "Whatever makes you happy, but you can't hide the truth. Even Kisaka told you otherwise."
"The truth," I said, "I love Athrun…and nothing even I can change that myself."
With Athrun…
It had been a month since that fateful day and Cagalli hadn't even responded to his words. Maybe she really didn't love him anymore. Why should she, after everything that happened and everything he did.
Athrun shook his head and said, "Cagalli, I'm not going to let you go because of a stupid misunderstanding."
He hardly left her site, satisfied by just looking at her. The shadow demon and vampire finally came to a peace, with Sean as the leader of the shadow demons. The war was finally over, but many died that die. Athrun lost count at five hundred. Both side called for reinforcement and the day since Cagalli was said to be a coma the battle drove on for two weeks, before the shadow demons surrendered. Ever since the treaty signed, he hadn't left Cagalli's side.
He kissed Cagalli's lips for a first and said, "Morning beautiful, it's very sunny today, perfect weather for the beach."
"You know in about two hours will be the first time we met," Athrun said smiling, "I'm still sorry for being so angry at you, but I couldn't help myself. I wanted you there so bad."
"How much time do you need?" Athrun said holding her cheek, "If I had been sooner Cagalli on getting you, this wouldn't have happened. I'm so sorry."
"You have no idea, how I wish I could be in your position. I can't stand seeing you like this Cagalli. I miss you so much," Athrun said crying, "Your smile, your laugh, your touch, and especially your eyes. Please get up and tell me you forgive me Cagalli. I know I don't deserve it. I let Rau get you, couldn't stop him from hurting you, but I swear Cagalli, give me a chance and I'll make up for it, everyday of my life. I promise."
Cagalli let out the same breathing patterns.
In my conscious mind I heart a voice.
"Two hours," I thought….would be when I first met Athrun. I could hear Athrun clearly, but I couldn't move or react. Athrun was there! How?
"How much time do you need?" I heard his voice and felt him touch my cheek, "If I had been sooner Cagalli on getting you, this wouldn't have happened. I'm so sorry."
Sorry…I thought. Getting me?
"You have no idea, how I wish I could be in your position. I can't stand seeing you like this Cagalli. I miss you so much," he said and I heard his cries and felt his tears on me, "Your smile, your laugh, your touch, and especially your eyes. Please get up and tell me you forgive me Cagalli. I know I don't deserve it. I let Rau get you, couldn't stop him from hurting you, but I swear Cagalli, give me a chance and I'll make up for it, everyday of my life. I promise."
My position, he saved me didn't he? I died to move. My heart was right. Athrun did come to save me. But make up for what?
"I heard this song," he said, "I hope you can here this, I often sing this to you when you're sleeping. Now I know my voice isn't perfect so bare with me."
His voice trailed out to a deep husky melody...
Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
Look into my heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - Ya I'd die for you
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
I was crying inside. I begged my body to move. It didn't listen.
"ATHRUN," I yelled in my mind.
"It's true you know," Athrun said, "This song represent how much you mean to me. I wouldn't turn my back to you. I'd fight to death to make sure I got you back. I can't live without you Cagalli. Please come back to me. Please wake up. I love you. I need you Cagalli…so much."
His cell rang in that moment and he said, "Hey Mother….no she didn't get up…I'm not coming home until she gets up…I'm sorry mother…I understand….only an hour….fine I'll wait for Kira to get here then I'll go…ok by mother."
I heard him sigh and he said, "Mother has an emergency Cagalli, I promise I'll be back in two hours maximum…miss me," kissing my forehead.
He left the room as his name escaped my lips and but he was too far to hear.
Sigh...yeah this she didn't wake up yet
