A/N – OMG!!! I don't even know what to say except... what the heck is wrong with me? Read and see if you can find any similarities that Athrun has with Kira. And if you can't find any... then I dunno. Also, I basically outlined what happened in Cagalli's house in a letter hoping that it'll make things less confusing. Enjoy!

Short Moments

Cagalli's reply hung in the air. Athrun turned toward her but avoided her gaze. He closed his eyes and hung his head down as he spoke, "I was on the way to your house," his voice was barely audible but Cagalli listened intently to every word, "the street was pitch black. When I reached your house I knocked on the door, but nobody answered. A bit after, I decided to try and find another way in. But, when I was about to search I noticed that the window was wide open as if someone had already gone through it."

Cagalli watched Athrun as he spoke. Her ears strained desperately to hear Athrun's story. She watched him intently, drawn to the story of the events last night.

Athrun continued on with his story, "I doubted that a window in your house would just be left open intentionally, so I thought that someone must have broken in. I went through it as well. Just when I got in... I... heard a gun being shot. I didn't know where, but I knew that it was definitely somewhere upstairs. The next thing I knew... I was running to your room.

"I ran down the hall until I finally reached your room. The first thing I noticed was that there wasn't a guard standing outside your door. I... became worried. I threw the door open and I saw... someone standing over you with a gun. I charged at him, and he shot at me. I was able to tackle him and get the gun away. I knocked him unconscious and then I..." Athrun's voice broke off. His hand clenched onto the blanket tightly as he looked down angrily.

Cagalli's brown eyes filled with worry as she watched Athrun. She bit her lip, forcing herself to stay quiet. She struggled to keep herself from just tackling and beating Athrun for acting so weird. The blonde princess waited for the story to continue, but Athrun seemed to have gotten lost in his own thoughts. Finally when she couldn't take it anymore, Cagalli jumped out of her bed and tumbled over.

"Ow..." she had landed flat on the floor as her impatience deflated out of her. Athrun took no notice that she lay on the floor. When Cagalli realized this she finally snapped. Getting up from the floor she stomped towards Athrun and grabbed him by the collar roughly, "What the heck is wrong with you?"

Athrun's eyes showed his surprise which soon drooped sadly, "I'm sorry."

Cagalli looked at him angrily straight into his eyes. Frustrated, she let go of his collar and took a deep breath. Not feeling any less angry she sat down heavily on the side of Athrun's bed. With her arms folded and her back to Athrun, she pouted, "Then what happened?"

"I don't know. I passed out right after I knocked out the other man. The next thing I knew, I was lying here in the hospital."

"Same as me then?" Cagalli waited for Athrun's answer once again. Having lost all patience already she turned around furiously to face Athrun. But what she saw broke her heart. Athrun was still clutching the blanket tightly trying desperately not to cry but to no avail. "H-hey... what're you crying for?"

Athrun turned at her angrily which soon turned into a look of depression. Cagalli stood there, but no answer came. No words of anger or comfort came to her mind as she sat there watching for the second time in her life, such a broken down Athrun.

For the next few days in the hospital, Cagalli completely avoided seeing Athrun by having herself moved to a private room. She kept swearing and muttering to herself about all that had happened and was kept in a rather horrible mood. Finally, she was released from the hospital. Kisaka guarded her with absolute determination. They reached Cagalli's house where she was taken to her office with several guards who stood outside of the door. Inside the office, Kira stood there waiting for her.

"Hey, Cagalli," he said with a little wave, trying to look as happy as possible. Cagalli only frowned and glared at Kisaka.

"Why is he here?" Cagalli asked Kisaka, but he merely smiled and left the room leaving Kira and Cagalli alone. The two stood alone in silence, but Kira felt like sinking into the floor as his twin's glare attacked him viciously.

"So how've you been the past few days? Still in a grumpy mood?" laughed Kira nervously as he tried to lighten the mood. This earned him nothing but an even more deadly glare.

"What do you want?" Cagalli asked, staring Kira down more evilly.

Quickly Kira rushed over to her and shoved a piece of paper to her face. "W-well... we all figured... uhh... we, meaning me, Ssigh, Milly and Lacus, we all just thought that you might want to have a more complete picture about what happened a few days ago."

Cagalli's face softened from a glare to mere confusion. Kira breathed a sigh of relief at this. Cagalli took the paper from Kira and began to read it:

Dear Cagalli,

I'm sure that you want to know all about what happened that one night. So, we all decided to outline it for you in detail which will even satisfy you.

We were planning to set you back up with Athrun. So, I left him a message to tell him that we should hang out tomorrow. He heard this message and the message you left for him as well. He headed to your house to find you since you never answered when he called. When he reached your house, he couldn't get in so he decided to break in only to discover that someone had probably already done so. Upon entering, he heard a gun being shot so he rushed to your room.

It was around this time that Lacus, Ssigh, Milly and I finished changing the kidnapping plans, and arrived at your house. As I have already told you, I knocked out the armed man when he got out of his car. We threatened him to no effect, so we went to go check on you.

At this time, Athrun had reached your room and had the fight with the man who was standing over you with the gun. He knocked the guy unconscious, and then Athrun blacked out because of the gunshot wound he got on his right shoulder.

At this Cagalli looked sharply at Kira, "He was shot? When?"

Flustered, Kira replied, "Well, when Athrun came bursting into the room, the first reaction of anybody holding a gun would be to shoot at the intruder wouldn't it?"

Cagalli paused for a minute as it finally dawned on her. She remembered Athrun mentioning being shot at, but she never thought he was actually hit. She just automatically assumed that the man had fired and missed.

She turned her attention back to the letter, making a mental note to kick herself later:

Lacus, Ssigh, Milly and I had finally made it up to the balcony outside your room. We broke down the door and found you, Athrun, and the man with the gun unconscious. The last man was lying dead. We quickly called the ambulance which came at lighting speed to take you to the hospital.

What happened in the hospital, you would know very well. But, we all knew that you would not be satisfied with this case left half in the dark. We began to investigate why you were being attacked and by who. From an interrogation, we discovered a total of four men were involved in this attack.

The man that was interrogated, Michael Merks, was the man that I had beaten up and threatened outside of your house that night. He was responsible for getting the four of them out of the scene to their hideout. However, due to his irresponsibility, he was drunk and late in getting to your house. I have had the honour of meeting this man as he was questioned, and I can tell that he is a sneaky, untruthful person who only does things to save himself. The instant he found out that he could get out of jail as long as he ratted out on his "comrades", he spoke as if there was no tomorrow. From the information, we learned the identities of the other three men.

Lance Carl, he was responsible for cutting the power in the area, but his current whereabouts are unknown.

Daniel Leung was the one who was found dead at the time we found you. He was most likely shot by the other man, Eric Trends.

The last man, Eric Trends is the man who was your bodyguard. Or rather, he stole the identity of your bodyguard, Ken Smith. The real Ken Smith was found dead under the floorboards of his apartment. Eric Trends is also the brains of this operation having devised it from the infiltration as your bodyguard to the escape and ransom amount that could buy ORB. About a night after he was jailed, he was found dead as he choked himself to death with a rope we do not know where he obtained.

So my dear sister, this is all the current information involving the attempted kidnapping event.

May luck come your way,

Kira

P.S. Attached are more detailed descriptions on the four men.

Cagalli flipped through the other pages as Kira stood by waiting for her to finish. Finally, she looked up to face her twin brother, "Thanks, Kira. But, how did you get all? This should've been classified information. The info from the interrogation you were allowed to know since you were present, but all the records on these four guys showing their past and suspected offences..."

"Cagalli," said Kira as he placed a hand gently on her shoulder, "you would think that if I could get to listen in on an interrogation session that I could also get my hands on this kind of information."

Laughing lightly for the first time in days, she replied, "You begged Kisaka didn't you?"

A/N – What else can I say but... another pointless chapter? That's just my opinion though since nothing really happened much, mostly a recap or outlining what happened more clearly. I'm just hoping this clears up any confusion about what the heck happened. So yes... I'm kinda getting the feeling that I'm dragging this out to long... hmm... anywayz, I know for sure that the next chapter (whenever I get it done, depends on how lazy I feel) is going to be that last one, how I know this is cause this was supposed to be the last one, but I chopped it in half!!! YAY! Actually I don't really know if that's a good thing or not, but meh.
