-Answers-

Cagalli and Athrun were walking together after class. They saw Lacus sitting on one of the bench waiting for her car. She looks really sad.

"Hey Lacus where's Kira?" Cagalli asked her.

"He said he has something to do. So he left me." She said sadly.

"Well what's wrong with him? I swear I'll beat the hell out of him when I get home." Cagalli said angrily.

"I think you need to cool yourself down. Maybe Kira really had something important to do." Athrun put his hands on Cagalli's shoulder.

"Well you call that important?" she said angrily glaring past Athrun. Athrun turned around and saw Kira walking and laughing with the new girl they met earlier.

"You know, I think you should just leave him alone. I think he's just really happy seeing Akari, he said she look a lot like Flay. And I think that Akari's a really nice person, so there no reason for us to hate her right?" Lacus said smiling.

"But…" Cagalli started. "You like Kira" She finished with a low tone.

"But Kira likes Flay."

"But she's not her."

"It's the same; Kira likes her and not me."

"Of course not, I know he likes you. So stop acting nice."

……………………………………………………………..

"So Akari where do you live? Mind if I walk you home?" Kira asked the girl walking beside him.

"That's really nice of you Mr. Yamato." She blushed lightly as she saw him smile at her.

"Please call me Kira." He said.

"Kira…"

"Kira…"

"I heard that name before…"

"Who is he" Akari looked at Kira with confusion.

"Are you alright?" He asked her.

"Kira…."

"Somehow…it seems like I've met him before…" Tears started flowing in her eyes.

"Are you alright did I said something wrong?" Kira asked worriedly. Akari wipe the tears from her face.

"I'm sorry, it's nothing. I live in the apartment at the end of this street." She said smiling.

"Really? Athrun, Dearka and Yzak also live there." Kira said surprised.

"Oh really? That's why they look familiar." She started walking, Kira followed her.

"Akari do you have any sister? Maybe a twin?" He looked at her seriously.

"No I don't think so. Actually I don't know. You see I don't remember lots of things." She smiled.

"How come?" He asked wonderingly. They stop walking when they reached the building.

"It's a long story." She said and gave him a last smile before walking towards the building.

"Thanks for walking me. See you tomorrow Kira" She shouted and gave him a final wave.

……………………………………………..

When Kira reached their home he opened the door and was welcomed by Cagalli who's looking at him…well glaring at him.

"What's wrong?" He asked her.

"Why did you leave Lacus? What's wrong with you? Don't you care about her?"

"Why are you making such a big deal out of it? I mean she have a ride so I know she can go home safely." Kira said as he walked past Cagalli.

"You left her so you can walk that Akari home." She followed him.

"Just leave me alone." He said as he slammed the door on Cagalli's face.

He lay on his bed and stare up the ceiling.

"Damn it what's wrong with me?"

"Flay…" He muttered and fell asleep.

………………………………………

"Kira wake up!" Cagalli shouted in her brother's ear making him jump out of his bed.

"haha…you should've seen your face." She said laughing.

"What the hell's wrong with you? Can't you at least knock?" He said glaring at his sister.

"Well I tried that but you won't answer. Anyway I think you should wake up now. It's better to go to school early."

"Whatever, you just want to have some extra time with Athrun." He said teasingly making her blush.

"Wow, you're really smart brother, you found out so soon." She said smirking.

"What? So it's true?" He looked at her with an annoyed look.

"Just shut up and fix yourself." She said and walked out the door.

"Damn it, but it's too early." He thought looking at his alarm clock.

………………………………….

"Athrun!" Cagalli shouted when she saw Athrun.

"Hey! You're early today." Athrun said as he looked at her and Kira.

"Well that's just normal. But them.." She said looking at Dearka and Yzak.

"Hey she's with you?" Cagalli arched her eyebrows when she saw the girl Akari walking behind Athrun.

"Yeah, we saw her earlier in the elevator. It seems she's in the same apartment we're staying." He explained as Akari walk towards her and greet them.

"Good morning Cagalli" She said as she smiles at Cagalli.

"Good morning Kira." She also smiled at him.

"Good morning" Kira and Cagalli greeted in unison. Kira smiled at her as Cagalli turn to face Athrun.

"You just met her in the elevator?" She asked eyeing him.

"O-of course!" Athrun said nervous by the way his girlfriend's glaring at him.

"Actually, we just met Athrun earlier with her and did you know that he didn't come home last night." Yzak said smiling evilly.

"What!" Cagalli, Athrun Kira and Akari shouted at the same time.

"Damn you!" Athrun shouted as he glare at Yzak his hand's ready to strangle him to death.

"That's not true. I just met the three of them earlier." Akari said apologetically. Cagalli glared at her.

"Hey stop that! Yzak's just joking; don't tell me you actually believe him." Dearka said laughing.

"I-of course I don't, now come on I want to get to school early." She said as she started walking. Athrun and Akari sigh.

"I'm sorry 'bout that. My sister is just really paranoid when it comes to Athrun." Kira said laughing lightly.

"Hey I heard that!" Cagalli shouted as she turn to face them and glare at Kira.

"I'm just joking." Kira shouted to her as they continue walking towards their school.

"Anyway I'm really sorry." He said.

"It's ok, anyway I enjoy being with you guys, I feel like I'm not alone anymore." She said smiling.

"Alone? Don't you have any families?" Kira looked at her worriedly.

"Nah, I guess the only family I have is Mr. Kazumi, he's the one who's taking care of me but last month he said it would be better if I go here to study since I can't stay at their place." She said sadly.

"I don't understand…" Kira looked at her confused.

"It's a long story…" She said and smiled at him as they reach their school.

"Hey I think it's still too early…I can't believe this." Kira said as he looked at his companions.

"Well I was late yesterday so I thought that maybe I should come to school extra early." Akari said.

"And I don't want to be late because of them so I woke them really early." Athrun said looking at Dearka and Yzak.

"Well it's better to be early than to be late right?" Cagalli smiled at them.

"Well I think I'll be heading to the classroom now, I want to get some more sleep." Yzak said yawning.

"I'm still waiting for someone so I'll just stay here." Dearka said as he sat on the bench.

"Well I think I'll go to the cafeteria and buy myself some snack. Since my two roommates ate everything I cooked earlier." Athrun sigh.

"Ok I'll come with you" Cagalli said as she holds his hand.

"I think I'll stay here for a while, it's cooler here than inside the classroom." Akari said and started walking towards the tree as Kira followed her.

"Can I stay with you? I have some things to ask." Kira smiled at her as the two of them sat under the tree.

"What is it?"

"Can you tell me your long story?" Kira looked at her.

"Uhmmm…I don't know…" She said sadly.

"I see, I'm sorry I shouldn't ask about your life and-"

"No, I just don't remember anything." She said smiling sadly at him.

"But you know it feels as if I've met you before, and I can't help but feel really bad when you're near me, it's as if I've done something wrong to you." She said looking at the ground.

"Flay?" Kira said shocked by the words he heard.

"Flay?"

"Flay?" Her head started to hurt.

"Don't worry Flay I'll protect you, everything's gonna be alright."

"Kira!" She shouted. Tears started flowing in her eyes.

"You're Flay? Are you really Flay?" He said as he wrap his arms around her.

"I-I don't know, I'm sorry I don't remember but…I think…I think, I somehow…" She said and did the same. "Know you." She added in a whisper tears still flowing in her eyes.

"And I'm really sorry." She said.

"No, I'm sorry, I failed to protect you. But that won't happen again." He said embracing her tightly

Well unluckily Lacus has just arrived and was shocked to see the two lovers under the tree hugging.
