A/N: OMG…I can't believe that I have a chapter three to this story. tear I'm proud of myself. We're hardly moving forward in this fanfic, but it is needed that I use the chapters for individual POV's for the characters. It lets you know what was happening to each one of them in different areas at the same time. Yeah, yeah I could have put it all in one chapter, but I'd have to write really long chapters and I doubt that this will be a long fanfic. In fact, I think I may be halfway done. I don't know.

Sorry if this chapter is boring. It's hard to make Cagalli's part quite dramatic. But I hope you'll be satisfied with what I have.

Disclaimer: I do not own the GS series. If I did, then Athrun and Cagalli would have had more of a major role in GS.

NOTES:

Thoughts are in italics.

Not in a specific POV, but it's safe to say that it's in Cagalli's POV.

Chapter 3: Just Two Bullets

"Damn."

Sparks flew around her in the cockpit as she hit the surface of the island nearby. She was just locked in a battle with Impulse. Unfortunately she suffered the bad deal of that battle.

Once landed Cagalli scouted her surroundings and cautiously made her way out of the cockpit. However, that was the wrong move to make.

"Hold it there!"

She was surrounded. ZAFT soldiers came from the nearby forest with guns aimed at her.

Shoot.

One of the soldiers walked up to her with his gun still raised.

"You're representative Athha aren't you?"

She only glared.

"Our superior would be please to know that we've capture the princess of ORB herself."

She scowled.

Another soldier poked her in the back with his gun.

"Get moving."

She really didn't have a choice in the matter. So she obeyed and began walking in the direction that the soldier was forcing her to go. How do I get myself into situations like this?

Cagalli closed her eyes for a splint second as she was walking thinking whether or not it was possible for her to escape.

"AWWWWWWWWW!"

It was.

Cagalli opened her eyes in time to see the soldier in front of her get knocked to the ground by… "Kira?"

"Are you safe? You're not hurt right?"

"Uh no, but where-"

A soldier came dashing towards them, but Kira spun around and intercepted by grabbing his arm, twisting it around his back snapping his wrist in place and ramming him into a nearby tree.

However in the mist of that action another soldier saw it as opportunity to attack Kira from behind.

"Kira, LOOK OUT!"

Kira barely had the time to react, but before the soldier could act he fell forward on the ground cold. He was shot dead.

"What the-"

"Representative!"

Cagalli looked up to see her fellow ORB soldiers coming to her rescue. She beamed.

"Are you okay Representative?"

"Thank you so much."

"It was our pleasure."

"Cagalli!" Kira tossed her a handgun which she caught and began taking aim at the ZAFT soldiers at bay.

Once all soldiers were either dead or unconscious, Cagalli opened the revolver and accounted for how many bullets were left. Four used. Two left.

Kira eyed her suspiciously.

"What?"

"Well, I'm all for taken precautions but I wonder if those bullets are meant for someone?"

Cagalli shut the revolver and glanced over at Kira. "What makes you say that?"

"Just a hunch. Sibling's intuition."

"Like there's such a thing." Cagalli began walking down the path in front of her. Apparently she had landed in a clearing next to the ocean.

"Where are you going?'

"Representative?"

Cagalli peers over her shoulders. "Thank you all for coming to my rescue. But I must do this on my own."

"Please Representative, whatever it is, let us assist you."

"He's right Cagalli. You can't do this on your own."

She sighed. She turns to them with a smile on her face. "Alright, if you insist. But please don't act without my command. We must move swiftly and quietly."

"May I ask what mission are we fulfilling at this time?"

Cagalli began walking ahead. "I'm positive that those weren't the only ZAFT soldiers on this island. Are you guys interested in an ambush?"

"Anything for you Representative."

Kira rushed up to Cagalli's side. "What is it really?"

She side glance him. "After I crashed landed, I noticed the Savior landing on this island as well."

Kira's eyes widened. He then eyed the gun.

"I'll only shoot him if necessary."

Kira was silent for the rest of the hike.

"Do you see anything?"

"Yes, soldiers."

"ZAFT?"

"Affirmative."

Cagalli gaze through the bushes and gasped at what she saw. Athrun.

"You were right about Athrun being here." Kira was looking at the scene as well. "Who are those two?"

Kira was referring to Shinn and Stellar.

"That's Shinn Asuka. He's the pilot of that Impulse Gundam." Kira gaped at her.

Cagalli remembered Shinn very well. Besides the fact that she was just battling him, she couldn't forget the first time that they met. He ridiculed her family's belief. Cagalli could never figure out what he really had against her family that could cause him so much grief and anger towards her.

"She must be with the EA." Kira made his assumption about the blond girl who was being targeted by none other than Athrun. "Should we do something about this?"

"Give it a moment."

Cagalli watched as a man walked up to Athrun to Shinn. I'm sure that's their superior.

"She's the enemy, so shoot her dead."

She gasped at what he had instructed them to do. She knew Shinn would probably have done it willingly, but Athrun? Would he really take someone else's life that easily?

Cagalli looked at the girl on the ground. She looks so innocent. But looks can be deceiving can't they. But still.

Cagalli nearly fainted when she saw Athrun raise the gun in his hand and took aim. He wouldn't. He couldn't.

"He's going to shoot her. I guess he's made up his mind."

Cagalli looked at her brother with confusion written all over her face.

"He must have really chosen ZAFT."

Her heart fell. Has he chosen ZAFT? Has he forgotten us? Forgotten me?

"NO!"

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Stop what you're doing soldier!"

"NO! DON'T SHOOT!"

"DETAIN HIM!"

"LET ME GO!"

"I command you to shoot!"

Athrun was just given the second order to shoot.

Cagalli was stunned by Shinn's actions.

"What was he thinking?" Kira spoke up again.

She looked at Shinn this time and what she saw nearly broke her heart to pieces. Those eyes. Their full of passion.

"He cares for her doesn't he?"

"Athrun…"

"NO! LEAVE HER ALONE!"

"Shinn?"

He really cares for her. Tears were swelling up in her eyes. She knew how it felt to lose someone you cared for because of war. And she knew that if Athrun were to die, then she wouldn't be able to live on for the rest of her life. But here Athrun was, willing and ready to take the life of someone who means everything to someone else. Here he was about to ruin the chance for love to take over and win the hearts of two people who may have a chance to end this war.

"Cagalli?"

She was crying silently as she gazed into his eyes and saw all hopes of love and caring disappear from them. Athrun forgot what it was like to care for and love someone else.

"DON'T SHOOT HER ATHRUN! DON'T SHOOT STELLAR!"

Cagalli snapped out of her trance. There was no way in hell she was going to stand there and watch as Athrun ruin it for someone else. It may be over for them, but at least these two still have a chance.

"Cagalli what do you think you're doing?"

"CAGALLI!"

"Representative?"

"Just watch my back."

Cagalli jumped from their hiding spot and drew the gun upward to eye level. Just two bullets…that's all I need…just two.

A/N: I was going to put more but then after looking at this and seeing that it was past four pages at least, I thought naw…the next part can wait until next chapter.

Ducks as a bike is being flung at her.

Wow, you people sure are strong. ;

Sorry if you're all tired of me repeating the same scene over and over, but it was necessary. At least I hope so.

Please R&R.
