Konnichiwa! Hello, I didn't expect many reviews when I started this, but at least I know that there are some people out there that will take a chance and read something even though they like a couple in the original already. I appreciate it very much. Good day and here's chapter 6!

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Seed or Gundam Wing.

Chapter 6

Trial and the order

We walked in uncertainly. I was surprised to see the captain and the rest of the original crew there, waiting for us. None of them looked happy.

" I am terribly sorry, but your friends must wait outside. Said the man in the middle.

I looked back at Cagalli and nodded. They took a step back just as the door closed tightly with that eerie creak.

"Um…Sirs, if you don't mind my asking…what is this about?"

"Well this is your hearing. I am Taturo McSara, leader of the earth alliance. These are my accomplices…"

"We're on TRIAL! What the hell for!" At this I could see in Mr. McSara's eyes that he was pissed at my outburst.

"Because, Ms. Katotaru, You and Mr. Yamato are coordinators! You had no business being aboard the Arc Angel at the time you were…" He said trying to be calm. You could tell by the tone of his voice that he was being as calm as possible even though he hated the sight of us.

"What are you talking about?" I asked trying to understand. My patients were wearing as well.

"NOR, should we have allowed you, Kira Yamato, to pilot the Strike…" Taturo continued.

"But…"

"…You should have never been near that machine, let alone pilot it. You are not natural children! Just what in gods name were you thinking?" He asked sternly.

"I was thinking I had to protect my friends!" Kira spoke, dangerously if not threateningly. I jumped slightly at the bitterness in his voice. I had never heard Kira talk like that.

"Oh? Why? Why would a coordinator such as you protect the naturals you all your "friends"?"

"It makes no difference! This war is pointless anyway! We are all human beings, just with different qualities but that's what gives us our individuality! Inside we are all normal…" I shouted but was interrupted by a loud roar of…

"NO!" Taturo slammed his fist down.

"You are anything but normal! You are filthy, tainted coordinators! Filth that doesn't deserve to live in this world!" He yelled hatefully.

"If it wasn't for Kira, no one from the Arc Angel would have survived! No one would have made the trip here! You should be grateful that he is willing to fight for the Earth forces and not for Zaft!" I yelled with anger I never knew I had. My back burned, I winced at the pain, but only showed it a little.

"But…aren't you a coordinator as well? Isn't it your place to fight for the General of Zaft?"

"NO! Shut up! I have refused my services to him time and time again! Besides, my parents are naturals and my father served you proudly, how dare you say that I should be fighting for Zaft when my heart tells me to defend those that are dear to me! You may be the leader of the Earth forces but that doesn't give you the athority or the right to judge people just for being a "natural" or "coordinator"!" I yelled.

"How-how dare you talk to me like that! I should have you…"

"Forgive me sir, but in all due respect I must agree. You are judging them when in truth, they are the reason we made it here." Commander La Flaga said, standing up and bowing.

Taturo scowled.

"Sir, I request that you allow Kira full command of the Strike and Faith Katotaru a gundam." The Captain asked.

"I second that." Said a man to Taturo's left.

"(Sigh) All in favor of this ridiculous request." He sighed heavily, and had a bit of cockiness in his voice.

"HAI!" Everyone except him shouted. I looked up in surprise.

"(Sigh) All apose?" No one.

"Then I here by declare, that by majority rule, Kira Yamato is the permanent pilot of the Strike until further notice and Faith Katotaru her own Gundam. Case dismissed." As the men stood and exited the room I stayed, staring blankly at the desk where Taturo had just sat, in shock. Immobile.

"M-my…own…Gu-gundam?" I wasn't even able to breath. I passed out and Kira caught me.

Kira's POV

I caught Faith as she passed out into my arms. I smiled down at her.

"Kira, is she alright?"

"Poor girl, must have gotten too excited." Commander La Flaga said.

"KIRA! FAITH! Hey is she alright?" Duo and Cagalli asked at the same time.

"Yes. She was just permitted to have her own Gundam." I explained picking her up bridal style and carrying her out. Duo and Cagalli followed.

Heero glanced over at us.

"What happened to her?"

"She's going to get her own customized Gundam!" Duo said beaming. Heero rolled his eyes. Athrun grinned.

Faith's POV

I awoke an hour later…I think.

"Kira?" I asked. My eyes were still a little fuzzy but I could still make out his messy brown hair.

"Yeah, I'm right here." I looked around and from the looks of it, we were alone.

"Where is everyone?"

"They are out helping put your Gundam together."

"But won't that take months. Even years?" I asked.

"According to Cagalli, with the resources they have here, they can have it up and ready to test in a few weeks." I tried to sit up but my back started to ache and I winced in pain.

"Faith? What's wrong?"

"Nothing, it's nothing. I want to go for a little walk. I…I think I'll go into town for a little while."

"You are not going alone. Besides I…"

"Hey you two love birds, I'm not interrupting anything am I?" Duo asked walking in. I was just about to argue with Kira when he did.

"Hey Duo." I said grumpily, but the pain returned and I winced again.

"Faith, agh how many times do I have to tell you, you need to take care of that."

"What?" Kira asked. I sighed and glared at Duo.

"Kira, I…have something to tell you."

"You NEVER TOLD HIM!" Duo shouted.

"Shut up Duo!" I turned my back to them and lifted up my blonde hair, revealing my bare back. Kira stared at the Angel wings shaped scare on my back. Each scare started from my spine and stretched to the tip of my shoulder on both sides.

"Kira, this is my punishment. I was 13 when I got this. They took a laser to my back. They branded me since my nicknames had Angel in them. It hurts when I get mad sometimes but it's not life threatening, so don't worry about it." I let my hair fall down my back once more and turned back to them.

"I should have told you sooner, it's where they inserted the bizurker seed at birth. I only found out when they did this. That's why it hurts when I get angry." I sighed. Kira's eyes widened. Duo stared at the floor with rage.

"I know I could have done something." Duo mumbled.

"Oh Duo, you know as well as I do that you couldn't have done anything. They did it because I was not being as progressive as I could have been so they did this. If you had done anything…"

"I could have saved you from them!"

"No you couldn't! Not without getting punished like this yourself! And then I would have never forgiven myself." I said angrily. The pain returned and I winced at it again and hissed. Kira made to help me but I put up my hand.

"I'm fine. I just need some air." I said and walked out of the room. Once out I ran as fast as I could.

Duo snarled and ran after me.

Duo's POV

'She's so stubborn it makes me wanna…' I thought angrily.

Faith's POV

I was halfway down the hallway down the hall when he caught up with me.

"FAITH!" He ran right up to me.

"Bloody hell Angel. You shouldn't keep something like that to yourself. Why do you hide it?" He asked hugging me tightly, not letting go.

"Because it's my problem! I'm a bizurker, Duo! I could kill someone if I get mad enough in battle!" He let go, reached around and slapped me across the face.

"I won't let you! I've stopped you before and I'll stop you again! You know I'm just worried about you." He said softly. I stared at him for a second, still getting over the shock of him hitting me, but then I smiled.

I hugged him again. "Thanks, I really needed that." I said, my eyes softened. He smiled at me and we walked into the park. There we found Kira, waiting for us, Birdy on his shoulders.

"Kira!" I asked astonished. (I bet you're wondering how he got there without going past Faith and Duo…well, that's my secret. I really don't know)

"I'll leave you two to your walk. I got to get back anyway." He gently kissed my forehead, brother-like and ran back to the hanger.

"Thank you Duo!" I said waving. I walked over to Kira and wrapped my arms around his arm.

"Listen Kira, I really sorry that I didn't tell you…about, you know."

"Don't worry about it. I can understand why you wouldn't tell me. But at least I found out now then in battle." Kira said smiling.

"You're smiling. I like it better than your frown. It makes me feel happy to see you smiling for real. I mean there is no stress attached to it, no serious thought, no downing remark, just a simple happy smile. I like it a lot." I said happily smiling at him. He laughed a little.

Birdy flew off his shoulder and landed on mine, nuzzling my neck.

"So Athrun gave you Birdy when he went away?" I asked.

"Yeah. This is the first time it's been outside in a while." Kira said. I nuzzled it with my nose and it flew back over to Kira's shoulder.

"It seems really attached to you." I laughed.

"Yeah."

"Well, you know, when my Gundam is finished, I can help you, and Athrun, and Duo and Heero. It will be great." I said thinking ahead of myself.

"I just want you to promise me one thing."

"Huh? What's that?"

"Don't kill if you don't have to. And don't get hurt."

"Well, I already don't believe in killing others. So you don't have to worry about that. But I promise, I won't get hurt, and if I do, you can…you…can…ground me from my gundam for a…week." I said childishly. I laughed at the expression on his face.

"Fine." He laughed as well and we continued our walk, Birdy occasionally flying over to my shoulder.

Meanwhile… General POV

A silver haired boy crouched in the bushes watching the couple.

"This is Ezach, reporting."

"Continue."

"I have Faith and Kira alone should I…"

"No, not yet. Wait till I give the order." Ezach clenched and unclenched his fist.

"Yes sir." He said gritting his teeth in frustration.

Anyway… Faith's POV

"Kira look! A costume shop! Lets go inside. It'll be fun!" I shouted happily. (I know what you're thinking, what's with the costume shop, but don't worry, it ties in with what I'm leading up to.)

"(Sigh) Sure, why not." I jumped for joy and dragged him in.

'Why do I have the feeling I'm going to regret this?' Kira thought. (Sorry a little mishap)

I threw some costumes at him and picked a few for myself. I sat him down and told him I'd go first. Running into the dressing room, I came out in a French maid outfit, complete with feather duster.

"What do you think?" I asked posing for him. Kira grinned in a suggestive way. I glared and threw the feather duster at his head.

"I'd expect that from Duo, not you!" I turned around and changed into a devil's outfit, but decided that it really wouldn't have made a difference. Besides, I don't want to get that look from him again. I walked out and threw him into the changing room.

Very soon after I threw him in, he came out in a Jack Sparrow Costume. I tried to stifle my laughing but to no avail.

"(Bursts out laughing) I'm sorry Kira, but you look… hahahahahaha!"

"Ha-ha-ha, very funny, I'm done, no more torture!" He said turning back into the changing room and coming out. We walked out and to another market store.

"Oh, I want to check this place out. If you want you can wait out here." I said scurrying into the store.

Kira's POV

I was standing outside the doorway, waiting for Faith when…

"Kira!" I looked over to see Fllay running towards me.

"No Fllay." I said before she could hug me.

She stopped dead and cocked her head to the side.

"No…what?" She asked wrapping her arms around my neck.

"Okay, ready to….go?" Faith came out and stopped dead in her tracks. Fllay was hanging on me. Faith stared wide eyed at us.

"Kira? What's going on?" She asked, I could hear the hurt in her voice.

"Oh, didn't you hear dear sister? Kira and I are back together." (I know I'm making Fllay out to be a real bitch but that is how I see her) She said grinning evilly. Faith's eyes filled with terror as she started to back up. I was shocked. She stared at me.

"Kira, is…is this true?"

"No-" Fllay slapped her hand over my mouth.

"Of course it is. Would I lie to you?" Fllay said.

"I wasn't asking you Fllay! Kira…please tell me that this…this isn't true." I said.

"It's not true. I didn't say anything of the sort. She just flopped on me, I swear." I said. Fllay glared hatefully at me and Faith.

"Thank you Kira."

"No, he's lying, he just said he would go out with me! He…" Fllay said desperately.

I glared at Fllay.

"I love Faith. I can't help it Fllay. I used to like you. But I finally saw the true you the other day and just now. You don't like me, you just want to use me." I said.

"Fine! Have the bitch. She's worthless anyway." I balled up my fist but Faith beat me to it. She threw her fist forward as hard as she could, hitting her square in the nose. It gushed blood indicating that it was broken. She flew backwards onto her ass too.

Faith's POV

"Now who's worthless bitch!" I snarled. Kira put a hand on my shoulder. My back hurt but the pain was worth it to hit Fllay.

"Faith, come on lets go." He said and led me away.

Back at the ship I had to change my shirt and pants because I had Fllay's blood all over it, so I pulled out the brand new shirt and shorts that I got from that store. It looked almost like the one Cagalli had given me, but it was a black V-dipped tank top. I pulled it on and just as I opened the door, Birdy came in and landed on my shoulder.

"Do you know what it looks like Birdy?" I asked it walking down the hall to the hanger.

"I think it looks great." Duo said eyeing me up and down. I glared at him.

" I was talking about the Gundam, get your mind out of the gutter Duo Maxwell!" I said, he grinned widely at me.

"What makes you think I wasn't? Now who needs to get their mind out of the gutter?" Duo countered slyly.

"I…you…me…huh?"

"Nevermind, Cagalli sent me out here to stop you."

"Stop me from what?"

"Going in."

"Oh, did she now? Well she should know that you can't stop me." I said slyly moving for the door.

"She does. That's why she sent me out." Heero said standing next to Duo. I stopped.

"Oh great, she sent out suicide boy. Now I really can't get in." Heero smirked.

"Heard you broke that Fllay girls nose earlier."

"Damn right I did!" I said beaming with pride.

"Why?" Duo asked.

"Fllay called me worthless. And she was hanging all over Kira and it was getting annoying. Plus she called me a bitch!" Duo laughed.

"Yeah, that'll just about do it." Duo said laughing.

"You of all people should now. I hit you for calling me a bitch once." I said.

"Yeah, and I can still feel the pain." He joked.

"So, are you going to tell me what it looks like, or am I going to have to move you?" I said moving towards them.

"We aren't answering your questions, and if you come any closer you will end up on the ground." Heero said dangerously. At that I stopped.

"(groan) That's not fair. Fine, then I will just have to settle for Duo's famous Christmas song." I said looking at him expectantly.

"Uh uh, no fing way, I am not singing it." He said defiantely.

"Oh but please. If you sing it I will leave." I said in a sing song voice. Duo looked at Heero nervously.

"I can take it from…"

"Don't bother, I'm already gone. I don't want to hear you sing." Heero said waving.

Duo turned to me. "One song, that is it."

"Fine, but it has to be Jingle Bells." I said.

(this is owned by another I just like it so much, plus this part was written during Christmas so it sort of fit when I wrote it in my notebook.)

"Dashing through the snow,

I stole Relena's skies,

Heero's gone insane,

He's trying to kill me,

The snow is turning red,

I think Nataku's dead,

I guess that's why Wufei went crying to his bed

Oh

Jingle bells, Bloody Hell,

Heero's after me,

I swear I really did not mean to break Relena's skies, oh

Here I go, through the snow,

Running for my life,

Fearing an unpleasant death,

At the tip of Heero's knife."

I clapped furiously. "Bravo Bravo! Thank you Duo, I feel much better now, but…"

"But?"

"Where is Kira?"

"He's in helping with the configurations for your Gundam." Duo said standing up and walking into the hanger.

I sulked back to my room. I sat on the floor and leaned up against my bed.

"I wish someone was here. It's so lonely." I said to Birdy.

"Hello. I here you could use a friend." I looked up to see Mer in front of me.

"Oh, hey Mer! What's up?"

"I just thought you could use a friend, since Kira is spending all of his time working on your Gundam."

"So even you know what it looks like?"

"Well, no. Not really, since they only have the frame done I don't know what it really looks like."

"Wow, they really already have the frame done!"

"Yep." Mer said proudly.

"That's amazing." I said utterly amazed.

"Yeah, but was really amazing was what I heard."

"Huh? What did you hear?"

"Cagalli told me that you hit Fllay today."

"Yeah, that was the highlight of my day. She had called me a worthless bitch, so I hit her."

"Well, your one of many who want to hit her." I looked up at her and winked.

"So, do you know why Cagalli doesn't want me to see it?"

"She says it's a present from all of them to you." I grinned.

"Thanks Mer. (Yawn) I'm pretty tired, I think I'm going to try and take a nap.

"See ya tomorrow." I called.

I crawled into bed and fell asleep quickly.

Konnichiwa, I was hoping to get this chapter up sooner but…I have been busy with other…things. I have to get started on the next chapter, and trust me…it's a good one. -
