Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Seed nor any of the characters. Sure wished I did...
Wow, everyone must think I hate Cagalli after the last chapter, well bear with me till 5, where things take a less darker mood (No Spoilers!) As for what kind of Cagalli fan I am, I would have to say Cagalli x Me! Originally I preferred Kira over Athrun, but Athrun in Destiny really go the whole Cagalli x Athrun thing to me... I'll have to find something else then...
Enjoy Chapter 4, even more dark and emotional than the last!
Note: Lines in "italics" and quotes means Kira's thoughts in first person's perspective. The ones without quotes are Athrun's.
Unforgiven Love
Chapter 4: Revelations
"I remember being knocked down, then hearing a scream. Someone held me by my collar and kept shaking me. He even threw a few punches in my face. He kept talking, but I couldn't hear his words. I think... I was bleeding... Everything went black.. Then I saw the light... The light from a hospital room."
Kira awoke. He found his head patched up with bandages, a massive bruise to the right of his face, and a broken left arm. "Where... am I?" he asked.
"Sir, you were found under the attack of a young blue haired male." replied an officer to the side of his bed. "When we arrived, we found you being beat up bloodily and you were half dazed. We then proceeded to arrest the man, but he kept protesting that you were a murderer."
"Cagalli..." muttered Kira. "Where's Cagalli?!" he yelled.
"Cagalli?" questioned the Officer. "You mean that poor girl in the car accident?"
"Where is she!" yelled Kira.
The officer kept silent. "We'll request your assistance in verifying the assaulter after your recovery. Will you be pressing charges against him?"
"No... he's my friend," replied Kira.
"I see." replied the officer. "I'll take my leave now."
"Wait! Where's Cagalli?!" yelled Kira.
"Get some rest sir." was all the officer said.
Kira was in disbelief. He didn't want to believe Cagalli was dead. Was she dead? He didn't know. He didn't want to think. All he wanted to do was sleep and wake upfrom the nightmare.
"Why did you lock me up!? He's the murderer!" yelled Athrun.
"It has been verified by eye witness that it was an automobile accident. Now be quiet in there or we'll beat you again!" yelled the Guard.
"I have to... I have to avenge Cagalli!" yelled the Blue-haired youth.
"You don't know when to quit." replied the Guard. He grabs his taser and zaps Athrun. "That'll teach you, punk."
Athrun's limp body fell to the ground and he began to sob. The physical pain he feels can't match up to the pain swelled up inside. Athrun blanked out.
After a few hours Kira awoke. He regained his senses and full consciousness. He started to remember what happened.
"Right before meeting Cagalli, I saw Fllay. I wanted to be with her... to protect her. I loved her... But when I got to her she disappeared... Then a car came. I... stopped thinking... it nearly hit me... then Cagalli... Cagalli saved me! Then... she... ground.." Kira began to break down into a sob. "No... I don't want to remember!"
Kira jumped off his bed. He began searching the hospital. "Cagalli is here!" he yelled. "Cagalli!"
A nurse comes up to Kira. "Sir! You're supposed to be in bed!" she told him.
"Where's Cagalli!?" asked Kira.
"Cagalli?" questioned the nurse.
"She's... a girl... blond... about my age." replied Kira.
"Oh she's down the hall to the right." replied the Nurse. Kira immediately makes his way. He finds the doctor outside of the room.
"How is she?" he asked the doctor.
"She'll be alright... but she's in quite a pickle with the law." replied the doctor.
"What are you talking about?!" asked Kira. "Why would CagalliYula Athhabe in trouble with the law?"
"Representative Athha?" asked the doctor.
"She's... my... friend." replied Kira.
"Sir, have you not read the news?" questioned the doctor. "Ah, never mind. Please sir, we have to escort this lady to the police station. Take Ms. Loussier to the transfer facilities." said the doctor to the guard.
"Stellar Loussier, come over here!" yelled the Guard. "Crazy girl went on a stabbing rampage..."
"Damn it... she isn't Cagalli..." muttered Kira. "I have to keep searching... It isn't too late... is it?"
Back in the prison cell, Athrun awoke. The sting of the shock still had it's effect. He was paralyzed to move, but he regained his senses. He began to flashback to his memories with Cagalli.
Why does this situation feel so familiar? I remember the last time I fought with Kira... he killed Nicol. Then Cagalli struck me with the words: "Kill because somebody killed. Get killed because you killed. Will peace ever come like that?" Will Cagalli be happy if I killed Kira? Would I be happy the two most important people of my lifeare dead? I lost Cagalli... I don't want to lose anymore people I care about!
Kira came to an operation room. The doctor and nurses were sitting outside of the room, looking distressed. "We tried to save her... we did... our best?" said the doctor.
Kira advanced them slowly. He saw a flash of the report the nurse was holding. "Cagalli Yula Athha: Deceased. Time: Monday: 8:20 PM"
"That was... 5 minutes ago..." Kira muttered. He broke into soft sobs. They grew louder as the pain in his heart grew larger as well. He began wailing. He couldn't control himself. He fell to his knees. The doctor rolled out the bed. There laid a young girl, with golden blond hair, forever resting in peace. Kira goes to the bed and shoves the hospital workers aside. "No one's taking Cagalli! She's mine...! You have no right!" yelled Kira.
"Sir! Please back away from the body. We're taking it to the morgue." replied a nurse.
"No! I'm taking Cagalli with me!" yelled Kira. "Hang on Cagalli! I'll take you home... everything will be alright..." Kira grabbed Cagalli's body and proceed to leave the hospital.
"Stop that man!" yelled the doctor. 5 Hospital workers jumped on Kira.
"Don't dishonor the dead, scum!" yelled the workers. "That's the body of our leader! You monster! You're the one who has no right to have her! Who do you think you are? Her brother?"
"They were right... I have no right... I'm not her brother. I don't deserve to be."
"If you weren't wounded right already, I'd beat you to a pulp!" yelled another hospital worker.
"Send the scum to the prison. I refuse to house a scumbag patient like him!" yelled the doctor. Kira was forcefully put into the prison.
"Irony isn't it?" said his cell mate.
"Athrun..." replied the emotionally unstable Kira.
"I heard you got thrown in here by fighting hospital workers." replied Athrun.
"I... Cagalli... " Kira broke down into tears.
"I know you loved Cagalli as much as me. And you must hurt inside as much as me. So friend... tell me... is she?"
"Friend..." repeated Kira. Athrun knew his answer. Both him and Athrun cried.
A week later, they were released. A mysterious girl bailed them. They said it was a girl with red hair, wearing pink.
While walking out of prison, Kira saw Fllay again. "Hello Kira." replied the girl in pink.
"You..." said Kira. "You..."
"Killed Cagalli? Is that how you're going to resolve the conflict in your heart? Blame it on me?" replied Fllay.
"You.. if it weren't for you Cagalli..." Kira got cut off.
"Cagalli would've died for you one way or another." said Fllay.
"You!!" yelled Kira.
"You failed to protect me, Kira." said Fllay. "But deep down I still love you." Fllay let off a warm smile. "Heres something I want to do to repay you. Follow me."
"Kira!" protested Athrun. "Remember how she.."
"No Athrun. It wasn't her fault. It was mine." replied Kira. "I'm going alone, Athrun."
"I see." replied Athrun. "Be careful, friend."
Fllay led him to ato a new grave in the cemetary.
On the tombstone it said "Here lies, Cagalli Yula Athha."
"Why did you bring us here?" asked Kira.
"Don't you want to see your sister again?" asked Fllay.
"I do." replied Kira.
"Follow my instructions. Look deep down inside. Inside of your heart. What is your greatest desire?" asked Fllay.
"I want to go back... I want Cagalli by my side... for eternity." said Kira.
"Are you sure? Would you rather me? Or would you rather Lacus?" asked Fllay.
"I've struggled with myself. I always thought I could put it off. I didn't want to hurt anyone... But instead I brought harm to everyone. Because I was greedy... Because I couldn't decide on who I truly loved.. That is my mistake, and that is why Cagalli is dead." said Kira. "After all this... I found out... all I wanted was to be with Cagalli. I don't want anyone else. I just want Cagalli by my side."
"I see." replied Fllay. "You passed the test, Kira."
"Test!?" questioned Fllay.
"I knew deep inside you truly loved Cagalli. I wanted to be sure... I wanted to see if I had a chance. But it seems that your heart belongs to Cagalli. I accept defeat." said Fllay.
"Will you... bring back Cagalli?" asked Kira. Fllay's body started to fade.
"Damn... this... won't hold much longer... I have to... fade again, Kira. May my true feelings... protect.. you..." said Fllay with her last words. She disappeared.
"Fllay? Fllay!?" yelled Kira. "Cagalli! Please... bring her back!"
A soft echo inside his head, "Kira..."
"The voice... it's so familiar... It's ... It's..."
