Chapter 10 stays true to the original chapter, re venturing in all the parts again. Have to say it's much better then the work I've been submitting lately. This one stays true to the series. I hope to conclude this story by Christmas. Season 3 will probably be one big chapter or something. Well enjoy chapter 10!
Unforgiven Love
Chapter 10: Repeated Mistakes
The glow of the piercing sun enters the room. The blond girl opens her amber eyes. "Cagalli? Feeling better?" asked the blue haired male. Cagalli sits up and wipes the tears in her eyes with her sleeve. Athrun grabbed a box of Kleenex and gave one to her. "I think this is a little more easier on your eyes," he laughed. Cagalli put on a mad face.
"I use what I want!" she yelled back.
"I'm glad we have the old Cagalli back," he replied. "It's been a week you know." Cagalli went silent again. "Say, want to go out and enjoy a little fresh air?"
Cagalli ignored him and buried herself in her sheets. "No!" she replied.
"Come on, it'd be fun!" plead Athrun.
Cagalli replies, "I said..." Athrun picks up Cagalli. "Hey! Put me down you big idiot!" she yelled as she hits him on the chest.
"You need some exercise Cagalli! You're getting heavy." replied Athrun.
"Are you calling me fat!?" yelled back Cagalli.
Athrun replies, "No! That's not what I..."
"You're in for hell now!" replied Cagalli.
"Actually, more of heaven," says Athrun as he gives a kiss to Cagalli.
"What makes you think that?" asks the blushing Cagalli.
"Because I'm with the most beautiful girl in the world." replied Athrun.
Back at Kira's apartment, Lacus wakes him up to a sunny morning. "Good morning Kira!" said the cheery Lacus. She notices Kira's red and swollen eyes.
"Good... morning Lacus," replied Kira weakly.
"You've been sleeping there all week, Kira... I'm worried." said Lacus.
"Sorry... Lacus," replied Kira.
"Would you like to go out with me Kira?" asked Lacus.
"Huh?" replied a confused Kira.
"Maybe a walk to the park followed by dinner?" she asked. Kira remained silent. "But if you don't want to..." Lacus began to sound sad.
"No, I'll go Lacus," replied Kira. "You've taken care of me all week... I... can't..."
"Oh! I'm so happy Kira!" replied Lacus as she wraps her arms around him. "Hurry up and wash your face, Kira. Theres no more need to cry anymore."
Kira went into the washroom and began washing his face at the sink. He looked at himself in the mirror. "Is this... me?" replied Kira as he looked at the tired figure in the reflection. He quickly showered and changed into some new clothes Lacus laid out.
"I think it looks really handsome on you," replied Lacus in a pink dress.
"Lacus..." said a surprised Kira.
"Yes?" she replied.
"You look... beautiful," he replied. Lacus let off a bright red blush. It was the first time Kira said anything like this to her in a long time.
"Well, let's have that walk, shall we?" she asked.
Kira and Lacus exit his apartment and walked to the park. Kira starred at a tree, the same tree where it all began several weeks ago. "Kira?" asked Lacus. "Are you still thinking about... that?"
"No... I'm through with it," replied Kira, "From now on, she lives her own life... and I live mine." Lacus let off a smirk.
"But just how long will she live?" she muttered under her breath. Kira gave a look to Lacus. Lacus reacts suspiciously.
"Did you say something Lacus?" he asked.
"No.. I was just humming a song!" she replied.
The afternoon drifts by. Cagalli and Athrun walks their way to the cemetery. "I want to visit father..." replied Cagalli, "My only father." They arrived at the gravestones. Cagalli lays down a batch of flowers and begins speaking to the gravestone. "Father... why? Why did you have to tell me he was my brother!? Now we... we can't.... It's all your fault!" she screamed at the tombstone. "Why... why are you looking back so calmly? Look at the mess you put me in!" she yelled as tears drip from her eyes.
"Cagalli..." said Athrun. Athrun looks away and sees another gravestone with an letter. He walks over and picks it up.
"(Crossed out)Fllay, Lacus (written in)
I'm sorry about ORB... I'm sorry for hurting you, but deep down inside, I really love you... and I still do.
Signed Kira"
"Kira!" exclaimed Athrun.
"Don't say that name!" yelled Cagalli.
"No... Kira wrote something here." replied Athrun. Cagalli walks over and Athrun hands her the letter.
Cagalli begins reading. "What... what the heck does this mean?!" she yelled.
"Fllay..." repeated Athrun, "who is she?"
"Kira....'s old girlfriend..." replied Cagalli.
"I see," replied Athrun, "it seems Kira is still deeply in love with her."
"For now," replied Cagalli. "That man... is never satisfied with one woman..."
"Cagalli..." said Athrun, "Kira isn't..."
"I'm his twin! I know what he thinks! He's a greedy bastard! That's what he is!" replied Cagalli. "He can just die!"
Athrun tried to change the topic. He looks at his watch. "Six eh? Time for dinner, wouldn't you say Cagalli?"
"I am kind of hungry..." said Cagalli as her stomach rumbled. Athrun and Cagalli went to the ORB City Square.
"Let's try the Lover's Heaven..." Athrun broke off. "I'm sorry."
Cagalli pointed to the restaurant across from that. "We'll eat there." replied Cagalli. "I hear they make good kabbots!"
At the same time, Kira and Lacus also reaches ORB City Square. "Kabbot's Place... sounds great." said Kira.
"I want to try Lover's Heaven, Kira." replied Lacus as she spots Cagalli and Athrun across the street. "You know... after last time..."
"I understand Lacus," replied Kira. "I'll try to make the evening up to you again." replied Kira as he tried to smile.
Kira and Lacus went in Lover's Heaven, just as behind them Cagalli and Atrhun went into Kabbot's Place. Inside Kabbot's Place, the owner instantly remembers Athrun. "No sir! Don't hurt me! This one's on the house!" yelled the owner. Cagalli and Athrun were both surprised.
"What are you talking about?" asked Cagalli.
"This guy... came up to me and threatened me if I didn't tell you where some blond girl was.... Hey wait a minute! Are you that blond?" replied the owner.
"Not only that! He did the same thing to me!" replied the Arcade Owner who was eating on one of the tables.
"Athrun..." said Cagalli.
"What?" replied Athrun.
"You went to all these places looking for me?" asked Cagalli.
"I was worried..." replied Athrun.
"You're... an idiot..." replied Cagalli as she chuckled. Athrun returned that with a smiled. "Now let's eat!" she said as she gave Athrun a peck on the cheek. Athrun blushed wildly.
Across from that, Kira and Lacus enters the restaurant, Lover's Heaven. The waiter comes up to them. "Hey I remember you two! You're the two that didn't pay last time!" he yelled.
"Sorry about that," apologized Lacus, "It won't happen this time without that troublesome blond." Kira gave Lacus the look again. "Now let's enjoy our dinner!" Lacus exclaimed.
"Very well, I agree that blond was bothersome... This way sir and madam." said the Waiter as he led Lacus and Kira to their table. "Very sorry, we only have this table vacant."
"Same table too..." muttered Kira. Lacus ignores Kira. "I need to go to the bathroom for a bit, can you order for me?" asked Lacus.
"Sure..." replied Kira.
As Lacus turned the corner to the washrooms, she got out her cellphone. "Got it? 5000 Bucks if you run over that blond. I'll take care of the legal matters don't worry. What do you mean your conscience!? I know what you want, I'll throw in another zero, just kill the bitch. Good. I knew you'd understand." Lacus puts her cellphone away and sits down starring into the window.
"What are you looking for out there?" asked Kira.
"Just waiting for a show to start." replied Lacus. Kira senses something wrong with Lacus.
Back at the Kabbot Place, Athrun and Cagalli finished their meal. "Yummy Hot Sauce Kabbot!" yelled Cagalli.
"Oww... my tongue..." replied Athrun. The pair exited the restaurant. From the window of the Lover's Heaven, Kira spots Cagalli.
"I have to set things right..." said Kira, he quickly leaves the restaurant. Lacus tries to leave after him, but the waiter stops her.
"Hey! What did you say about paying this time?" he shouted. Lacus puts down a thousand dollar bill.
"Let go of me, and keep the change!" she said as she rushed out after Kira.
"Well, if she would of said so earlier," grinned the waiter.
Cagalli spots Kira across the street. "Cagalli!" yelled Kira.
"Is someone talking to me, Athrun? Because the only MAN I see here is you." she said sarcastically.
"Cagalli please!" yelled Kira.
"Nope, I don't hear anything at all!" she yelled as she gives Athrun a peck to the cheek.
"Cagalli!!!" yelled Kira. He rushed across the street. Just then, the assassin driver wakes up.
"Man... I should've of set an alarm clock. Crap! I'm 5 minutes late! I need that money for my kids operation!" he yelled as he revved up his car. "Hope I still make it!"
Kira is suddenly blinded by headlights. "K...ira!" yelled Cagalli as she spots the car. Kira stands still in the middle of the road.
"Ironic..." he thought to himself. "To think to protect Cagalli from this... only to die this way... Without Cagalli I might as well..."
"No Kira!" yelled a voice.
"Fllay!" yelled Kira. Kira felt someone knocking him over. Kira felt this feeling before. He looked to the sight of the crash. A limp figure in the middle of the street. Wearing the pink dress he commented on earlier. Another death because of Kira...
