A/N: Thanks for all the reviews! I'm trying to make this story as interesting as possible.

Chapter 4: The end is just the beginning

"What have I done to myself?...Most of all….what have I done to her?...It's all my fault….its all….my fault…." Kira thought to himself while looking at his loved one lying on the hospital bed. She had white bandages wrapped around her left wrist and a needle with a thin tube in her, just above the wrist to give her fluid.

Kira kneeled beside her and gently stroke her hand. "I'm sorry Lacus….I'm such a jerk, aren't I? I would let you hit me for all eternity if it makes you feel better..." He then heard someone come into the room and stood up.

"Mr. Yamato, its ok to go home now, Ms. Clyne will be alright."

Kira shook his head is disagreement. "No doctor….I want to stay with her….at least until she wakes up…" The doctor nodded. "Alright then." He went over to Lacus and checked her wrist.

"By the way, you said that there was a mirror shattered when you found her, right?" the doctor asked without looking at Kira.

"Yes, there was." Kira answered back simply.

"Hmmm, well it doesn't seem like she tried to suicide…"

"But then, what happened to her wrist?" He asked feeling a bit unsure.

"The cut on her wrist is rather deep then long, meaning a piece of the mirror just cut her. And I'm pretty sure this wasn't an accident."

Kira looked at Lacus's face. "I see….."

"Something must have been bothering her terribly…." The doctor spoke as he turned to face Kira. "You see, the mind is much more sensitive than the body, there must have been something she desperately wanted to do or say, and maybe just kept it to herself. And when that builds up, your thinking won't become as stable and will lead you to do things you don't mean to do."

Kira couldn't look at the doctor's face. He felt ashamed that he is the one who lead Lacus to do such a dreadful thing. To his ears, the doctor's words were heard as lecturing.

"What Ms. Clyne tried to do wasn't suicide…but who knows what might happen next time…."

Kira didn't want to think. It was too frightening to think that Lacus would ever, ever do such a thing.

"Well, I'd better be going now….I'll be coming back tomorrow to check her wrist again. Goodnight Mr. Yamato." The doctor then stepped out and closed the door behind him.

Kira looked at the floor dully and saw a tear drip to the door silently. "Lacus Clyne…I won't forgive you if you try to take your life…..because of a guy like me….."

Next morning 7:15am. . .

Lacus slowly opened her bluish transparent eyes. They glistened as the tiny sunrays hit all over the room. Her vision was blurry but that went away when she sat up and rubbed her eyes. Lacus then noticed the needle and the bandage on her wrist. "How did I…end up here?..." her voice was weak and barely audible since she just woke up. Lacus turned her head to the side and froze at who she saw.

"Kira….." He was asleep on a chair, resting his head on the bed close to Lacus's hand. She lent out a hand to touch his sleeping face but just pulled it back in hesitant. Lacus turned and set her feet on the cold floor and stood up. Her legs felt stiff but she walked over to Kira and draped the thin blanket around his shoulders carefully. Lacus undid the bandage around her wrist and pulled out the needle effortlessly and threw them on the bed.

"Bye Kira…." She whispered as she walked out the room and out of the hospital. Lacus walked slowly along the quiet streets. She stopped and leaned her shoulder and against a wall. "Where am I even trying to go?...Not to mention without any shoes..."She spoke out loud while looking down at her cold, bare feet.

Meanwhile at the hospital….

Kira opened his eyes and sat up straight. Then he felt something slide off his shoulders as he looked to see what it was. "A blanket?" Kira looked at the bed but no one was there, just bandages and the needle.

"Lacus?..." Kira got up and when he opened the door to go out, he bumped into the doctor from yesterday. "Doctor! Where's Lacus!" Kira yelled.

"Isn't she in the room?" the doctor asked in confusion.

"No! She's gone! She left the bandages on the bed! I have to fund her…" Like that, Kira ran out down the halls of the hospital looking for Lacus. When she was no where to be found, he knew she wasn't in the building. Kira got in his car and drove down to Lacus's house, thinking she was there. He got in the house since he didn't lock the house when he brought Lacus to the hospital.

"Lacus! Are you here!" Kira yelled as he looked all around. "Come on…where are you?..." He grabbed the phone in the living room and dialed.

"Hello, this is Athrun Zala speaking."

"Athrun! You've got to help me!" Kira blurted out feeling impatient.

"Kira? What's wrong?" Athrun asked in concern.

"Lacus, she's gone! I brought her to the hospital yesterday but she's wasn't there when I woke up!"

"I don't understand, why was she-"

Kira cut off what Athrun was going to ask. "I'll tell you all about it later, but right now, please help me find her Athrun!"

"Alright, have you checked her house?"

"Yea, I'm in her house right now, and she's not here."

"Hmm…try looking around the beach in front of her house, and I'll drive around to look for her as well."

"Thanks Athrun." Kira ended the call and ran out of the house to the beach. He looked around but saw no one there. All he could hear was the beach water gently hitting the shore. Kira sat on the sand and sighed. "Lacus…."

After what seemed like hours, Kira's cell phone rang. He took it out of his pockets and held it to his right ear.

"Hello?"

"Kira, it's me Athrun."

"Oh hey Athrun…I couldn't find her…" Kira said in disappointment.

"I know….she's here with me right now…come over to my place."
