well here's the latest chapter, hope you all enjoy, as always, I own no characters, or places, please review, and enjoy, now onto the fic
Kira was in his bedroom going over his things for the last time; he looked over his money for the night, hoping he had enough to pay for his meal. His clothes were spotless, consisting of a pair of gray slacks, a white oxford shirt, and a printed green t-shirt. The dinner at Fabrizi's started at 7 and he was finishing up, with Lacus just getting out of the shower. Kira looked at his watch, just as it hit 6:30, if they wanted to make it there on time, she'd have to rush it. "Lacus, I don't mean to be bossy but you'll have to hurry it up if we want to make it on time" Kira said as he passed by the bathroom.
"Okay Kira, I'm hurrying" Lacus said as she hurriedly dried her hair and applying her makeup 'It never took Milly this long to get ready' Kira thought to himself. He knew it was wrong to think back to her this soon, but he couldn't help but miss her. Still tonight was made to move on with life without her, so tonight he was going to try just that."Okay, all ready". Kira turned around as he heard her voice, he saw Lacus appear dressed in a white blouse and a purple sundress, with a pair of white heeled, shoes. around her neck was a matching purple ribbon. She did look beautiful, and it brought a slight smile to Kira's lips, it was good to know that Lacus could do that much to him. Taking her hand, they walked out, but not before locking the door, and then proceeding to hail a cab. Kira leaned back in the back seat while Lacus rested her head on his shoulder. He was feeling more relaxed as they drove on, and proceeded to focus on the task at hand, which was to have an enjoyable dinner with Lacus.
Milly adjusted her top one final time, looking herself over in the mirror. Her clothes consisted of a white blouse, a denim skirt, and a pair of sandles. she hadn't brought anything too fancy with her in her overnight bag, but this would suffice for a simple dinner. "You look magnificent" Dearka said as he put his hands on her shoulders and rested his head on her shoulder. Milly stirred slightly at this, but paid no attention to it, she was trying to move on and forget about Kira, but still something about Dearka had her worrying, like he wasn't to be trusted. Quickly silencing the voices, she relaxed at his touch. "I'm glad you like it" she replied. She turned away from the mirror and walked over to her purse and reached out for some money but was stopped by Dearka. "No need, tonight's my treat remember, all of this is on me" he said calmly with a smile. Relaxing once more, Milly pulled her hands from her purse and walked over to the door with Dearka, as his fingers interlaced with hers. She smiled at this, trying to make it seem genuine, despite her best efforts to frown at him touching her. she looked on as Dearka hailed a cab and opened the door for her. 'Well he at least knows how to be a gentleman' she thought to herself. the cab took off, heading to Fabrizi's, and for a very eventful evening.
Kira held open the door for Lacus as they walked into Fabrizi's. He held Lacus' hand as she and he were guided by the waiter to their table. 'The one benefit to having Reservations' Kira thought to himself. The table was covered with a checkerboard spread, and a piece of paper that acted as a place mat. Their waiter scribbled his name on the paper in case they needed to call on him. "This is a nice restaurant Kira, you have excellent taste" Lacus said, complimenting him. 'I should know this place is good, I planned on taking...No, I have to get over her, we're done' Kira thought to himself, desparate to put Milly out of his mind. picking up a menu, and trying to decide his meal for the evening. He was almost ready to choose when he heard someone come through the doors. Looking up, he saw none other than Milly and...'Dearka! what is she doing with...no, she's just trying to move on just like I am' Kira said, once again trying to convince, as well as restrain himself from doing something stupid.
Milly looked on at the large restaurant. It had a checkerboard color scheme going for it. In the back were two large ovens, which were surrounded by booths on both sides and Tables linded the front. At one table, she saw Kira and Lacus also sitting at a table. She saw Kira try to hide his face behind a menu, but it was too late. she knew he was trying to move on just as she was. hurrying over with Dearka, she was seated at her table, which was directly across from Kira and Lacus' table. 'And I was hoping for a quiet evening tonight' Milly thought to herself. they were seated and given their waiter's name and handed two menus. "So what're you getting? Tell you what, I've come here a few times, I'll order something I know you'll like" Dearka said with confidence. "Okay, since you're the expert, what would you reccomend?" Milly asked. "Well, personally, I'd go with the Fetuchini and meat sauce, I think you'll like that" Dearka responded.
'She doesn't like meat sauce, moron' Kira mentally muttered to himself. The way he acted around her was living proof that he was right, he was an idiot. He's not even giving Milly a chance to speak or order for herself, 'he might as well bring a mirror with him' Kira thought to himself.
"I don't really like meat sauce that much Dearka" Milly said as she looked down at her menu. "Okay then, how about some angel hair pasta with some white sauce?" Dearka said, trying to guess just the right kind of meal for Milly to enjoy with him. "Hm that sounds good" Milly responded. "Okay then, Angel hair it is" Dearka said with a hearty smile on his face.
'It only took him one try, way to go idiot' Kira smirked to himself as he flipped a page in his menu. "Are you ready to order sir?" Kira's waiter asked. "Uhh yes, I'm sure but could you start us out with the 'mix fry' platter?" Kira said in an attempt to get rid of the waiter so he could continue to spy on his ex and her dimwitted boyfriend. "Okay I'll be back in a minute, would you like anything to drink?" he asked again. "I'll have a diet soda, what about you Kira?" Lacus asked after requesting her drink. "I'll have a regular soda, thanks" Kira said, hoping the waiter would leave now that his questions have been answered. "Okay that's a regular soda, a diet and a mix fry, coming right up" the waiter said as he walked back to the kitchen. 'Finally, now let's see how badly Dearka's doing now' Kira said as he leaned his hands on the table and hid part of his face under his hands.
"So what're you going for out here?" Dearka asked. "I'm going for photography, I'm hoping to become a professional photographer once I finish up with college" Milly said as she looked down at her hands, not really wanting to make eye contact at the moment. She knew that both Kira and Dearka's eyes were on her at the moment, and she didn't need this kind of attention. "Oh that's neat, I'm going to be a regular in the military, I'm going to keep working at it until I go up a few more ranks and live off that" Dearka said as he leaned back in his booth. "I don't think I could do that, I don't want to get involved with war ever again" Milly said, with sorrow in her voice. "Hey, look at it like this, if you don't get involved in the war, you'll just get crushed and hurt, and that's why I believe in hitting them, before they hit you. It get's the point across that they shouldn't have touched messed with you in the first place" Dearka responded.
'What a neanderthal, I bet some of his strategies consist of shoving the enemies into lockers' Kira thought. The mix platter was laid out in front of he and Lacus. The platter consisted of batter dipped chicken pieces, fried mozzarella, and breaded zuchhinni, with a choice of dipping sauces which consisted of Ranch dressing and Maranara sauce. Kira selected a piece of chicken and dipped it into the ranch dressing and took a small bite out of it. He knew he'd have to try something else if he were to spy on Milly and Dearka and not catch Lacus' attention. noticing his soda, Keara picked up the glass and moved it over, and inserted his straw into it, sipping away leisurely. "So what are you going for at your college?" Lacus enquired. 'Creepy' Kira thought. "Well I'm going for engineering, I only have a few more classes to take and I'm done, I'll see where it goes from there" Kira said as he took his lips off of the drink. "Aren't you afraid your work will find it's way into the war?" Lacus enquired. "Yeah at first, but I've accepted that some battles can't be avoided" Kira said as he leaned back in his chair. "Would you ever go back to fight in the war?" Lacus asked again. "If I could avoid it no, but to protect the people I love, I'd do it in a heartbeat" Kira said with determination in his voice. "I'm glad to hear you haven't changed Kira" Lacus said.
"So, you forgetting about your troubles?" Dearka asked as he leaned in towards Milly. "Somewhat, I feel a little more relaxed" Milly said. "Well I happen to know of another way to forget all your problems" Dearka said. "You do?" Milly asked, somewhat puzzled at his choice of words. she looked on as he leaned in closer to her and was prepared to let his lips rest on hers, when a noise disruppted them.
Lacus looked on at what she saw. Kira's hand had closed around the glass of soda so tightly that it cracked, oozing out soda onto his hand and onto the placemat. "Excuse me Lacus" Kira said as he grabbed his coat and stormed out of the restaurant. Lacus followed after him, calling for his name. Milly watched as Kira walked out angrily, punching open the doors of the eatery. "What a hothead" Dearka said in an annoyed tone of voice. "Kira" Milly whispered to herself, hoping he wouldn't get himself into too much trouble. "Don't worry, that's not going to ruin our evening" Dearka said as he clasped Milly's hand in his own. "Actually, Dearka I'm not really hungry anymore" Milly said, a worried tone in her voice. seeing no way out, Dearka relented. "Check please" he yelled out to the nearby waiter.
"Kira, wait, just wait a minute" Lacus pleaded, hoping to get his attention. "Kira!" Lacus yelled one last time, grabbing ahold of his arm. Kira stopped moving, but didn't look back at Lacus. She could feel him trembling with anger over what happened in the restaurant. "Lacus...go home...back to Cagalli and Athrun" Kira said as he stormed off and dissapeared into the crowd. Seeing nothing else to do, Lacus followed after Kira, hoping to keep him out of trouble.
Milly looked down at her feet. tonight, was horrible. Kira storming out of the restaurant like that and almost causing a scene. He stormed out when Dearka was getting closer to her lips. To be kissed by Dearka Elthman, one part of her was curious, while another part of her was flat out disgusted with the idea. Looking up, she saw Dearka walk in through the door, then lay his keys on the table. "That idiot Yamato, ruined a perfectly romantic dinner, total idiot" he said, muttering insults about Kira. Milly inwardly cringed at this, but ignored it for the most part."I had that entire evening planned and he goes and ruins it" Dearka again mutters to himself. "Could we please just change the subject?" Milly asked, growing slightly irritated with Dearka's constant bad mouthing of Kira. Hoping to stay on her good side, Dearka shut up, but looking on, he could see how she was unnerved about the evening's events, and decided to do something about it. "Yeah sorry, this has just been a rough night for you, so how about I help you forget all about it?" He said, slowly wrapping his arm around her shoulders. Milly was about to ask what he meant when she felt her whole mouth being overtaken by Dearka's. His arms wrapped around her waist and forced her down on the bed. Her eyes shot wide open as he soon let his hands move to her chest, and then to her shirt.
Milly's eyes took on a fearful look as his hands ripped open her shirt, exposing her white, lace bra. "Dearka, stop it, this isn't right!" Milly screamed, hoping to get through to the hormonal charged man in front of her, but having no luck. she looked on as she saw him crawl up over her, and hold her hands together by the wrists with only one of his hands, the other carressed her cheek, almost trying to calm her nervousness, she flinched at his touch. "Don't worry, it only hurts for a minute, then it's incredible" he said with a smirk as he leaned in to kiss her neck. With his attention diverted, she noticed his legs spread out around hers, taking a chance, she stiffened her leg at the knee with as much force as she could muster.
Dearka's eyes shot open as his hands flew to his crotch as he felt the girl's knee come slamming into it. He was only trying to help, anytime he did this with any other girl they loved it, so why should she be any different.
watching as he rolled off of her and onto the floor, she hurriedly closed up her shirt and ran out the door as fast as her legs could carry her. Away from here, away from him, and hopefully to sanctuary. It was pouring rain outside and it wasn't long before she collided with someone. Looking up and hoping it wasn't Dearka or Kira, she looked up to see none other than Cagalli, Kira's sister. "Milly, is something wrong?" Cagalli asked as she leaned in towards Milly. "I'm I- I-" Milly said in broken syllables. she was ready to speak more clearly when she looked up at the shadow that soon joined Cagalli, holding an umbrella, it was Athrun again. seeing him again did nothing but frighten her, and using her hands to scoot away from them as fast as possible, exposing her ripped up shirt, looking at this, caused Cagalli leaned forward while holding athrun back. 'Milly, how did this happen, who did this to you?" Cagalli asked, concerned for the girl's well being. milly was prepared to back away even more when another voice spoke up, and scared her even more: "Milly, Milly come inside, Milly!" it was Dearka, he was obviously running out to finish what he had started, something Milly wasn't about to let happen.
Cagalli watched as the girl leaned in and tried to move away from the approaching man, Cagalli held onto the girl, who clutched back and hid her face from the blonde haired man who seemingly did some wrong to her. "Dearka, why is she so afraid of you? what happened?" Athrun asked, demanding an answer from his former teammate. "Oh, that, well we just had a little argeument that's all, it's no big deal" Dearka said rubbing the back of his head with a smile on his face.
"This doesn't look like just an arguement, now tell me what happened" Athrun nearly shouted. Not one to be intimidated, Dearka stepped right up to Athrun, unafraid of his tone of voice. "What's it to you Zala? She's none of your business, so but out" he said jamming a finger into Athrun's stomach. Athrun smacked away Dearka's hand away. slowly unholstering his pistol, Athrun walked back, never taking his eyes off of Dearka. Cagalli wrapped her coat around Milly and guided her back to their hotel with Athrun watching over them, the pistol still in his hand.
Lacus watched on as Kira downed his fourth shot of wiskey, he was already down to the bottom of the first bottle and seemed as though he wanted to keep going for another one to follow it up. She began to wonder, if she had even come would any of this ever happened? her thought were interrupted when someone came up to Kira and slapped him on his shoulder. Lacus soon grew worried, in his current state of drunkeness this could prove trouble.
"Hey Kira, how's it going?" Looking over, Kira saw an old friend that he barely recognized, Ssigh Argyle. Not really wanting a conversation right now, Kira turned back to the new wiskey bottle in front of him and emptied some of it into his shotglass. "So what are you doing here tonight, shouldn't you be with milly?" He asked, wondering why Kira would be out getting drunk at some tavern. "I don't want to talk about her" Kira said slowly, the alcohol obviously affecting his speech.
"Did something happen?" Ssigh asked, still curious. "She's gone, saw me with...someone else and left, now she's with an ASSHole!" Kira half shouted, his tone changing with his mood as he poured another drink. Ssigh was suddenly beside himself as he heard the words from Kira's lips. He cheated on Milly, he was with someone else and she left, she obviously had every right to run and what was Kira doing? drinking? This had to stop.
"You know, maybe I was wrong about you Kira, maybe you are just an asshole out to get everyone else's girlfriend! you didn't like seeing me with Fllay so you went and took her away from me now you're trying to make Milly's life even worse? What kind of a friend are you?" he shouted at the quickly becoming drunk coordinator in front of him. Kira only ignored him further as he continued to pour the drink down his throat in quick doses from the shotglass. "I'm talking to you!" Ssigh shouted as he smacked Kira across the face, causing some of the liquor to fly from his lips.
Ssigh now had Kira's attention, whether he wanted it or not. "I thought I made it perfectly clear to you back on the archangel that I could seriously hurt you, why the hell won't you listen to me, are all of you naturals this fucking stupid?" Kira shouted in anger and frustration at Ssigh disturbing him. Ssigh had heard enough, and charged at Kira, slamming him into the bar, temporarily knocking the wind out of Kira. "Maybe you were just all talk, maybe you weren't as tough as you said you were Kira, maybe..." Ssigh didn't get a chance to continue as his fist was intercepted by Kira's hand. "Or maybe, you should start believing everything that you hear" Kira snarled as he reared back and threw a punch at Ssigh's jaw. that caused Ssigh to lose balance and stumble backward. Kira closed in for the kill, intending to continue the damage he was doing to Ssigh. Ssigh however intercepted when he jammed a Pool cue into Kira's stomach, and then bringing it down on Kira's shoulder. That caused Kira to drop to one knee and reflexively grab his shoulder. Ssigh prepared to bring it down again when Kira's free hand, caught the cue, ripped it from Ssigh's hand and tossed it aside. Kira slowly stepped toward Ssigh and looked him straight in the eye, and watched as Ssigh stared back at him. Ssigh unfortunatley was caught off guard by the punch Kira sent to his stomach. Kira then grabbed the doubled over Ssigh and threw him into a billiard table.
clutching the fallen cue, Kira stalked over to Ssigh and looked down at his prey before bringing down the cue with both hands on Ssigh's shoulders. Ssigh collapsed in a heap as Kira continued beating down on him with the Cue. It wasn't until Kira looked on and saw his reflection in one of the mirrors, that he realized what he was doing. He was hurting someone, he was out getting drunk and just being an ass altogether, this wasn't like him, this was wrong. dropping the cue, Kira looked down at Ssigh and saw him turn over with blood dribbling out of his mouth. Kira slowly backed away, looking at what he had done. He collapsed as he saw this, and felt the tears fall out of his eyes. He saw Ssigh slowly get up by gripping the billiard table.
Lacus, who had remained in the corner with all the other frightened customers, had remained silent, walked over to Kira, and held his hand, but remained quiet as she heard Kira speak. "Look at me Lacus, look at what I've done, I can't believe it, I can't believe I've done this" he said as his head sank down into his knees, letting the tears continue. Ssigh looked over, and saw Kira, with tears falling from his eyes. He looked so vulnerable, no longer the monster he once was just a few moments ago. 'All this, was because he was hurting, very much' Ssigh thought to himself as he let his hand rest on his sore ribs. Ssigh looked over at the entrance as the police sirens started flashing and the police entered. At some point during the fight the bartender must have called the police, that was understandable. He saw one of the officers come over to him and lead him out the door, as he looked back he saw Kira following along slowly while the officer read him his miranda rights. In fear of causing another fight, the two were lead away in separate police cars. Lacus looked on at the incident, what started as a friendly dinner, turned into a drunken brawl between two friends, "why did this have to happen?" Lacus asked to herself. Looking around, she could see that it was too far to walk back to Kira's apartment, so she decided to walk back to thw hotel, and tell Cagalli the awful truth, that her brother was arrested and lead away in apolice car.
Well that's it, hope you al enjoyed it, the next chapter should be due out very soon
