Chapter 17 A Moment Of Peace
A/N: Ok, here's another chapter, which is once again, written behind my parents' backs. Sorry, if some of you have waited a long time for my updates. Enjoy this one!
"Gosh, I'm dead beat, this whole thing is energy consuming!" exclaimed the captain, getting out from his seat and stretching in all directions.
"Then why don't you go ahead and get some rest, honey, I mean, captain." said Murrue, blushing slightly, after realising her use of words in front of the others.
"Aw come on, man! What's there to hide? But I won't say no to forty winks, you sure you can handle it?" asked Wattfeld, raising an eyebrow at his girlfriend.
Murrue crossed her arms and looked at him sternly. "Are you under-estimating me, captain? Don't forget, I was former captain of this vessel." contradicted the brunette woman firmly.
"Don't worry, captain. We'll handle the situation no problem, we'll notify you if anything happens." reassured Lacus, smiling sweetly at Wattfeld, who grinned back before turning on heel and trudging off.

"I need to buck up, I'm already behind schedule. I'm letting that crybaby, Yamato, live too long." Ryoko thought to herself, as she sashayed down the corridor.
However, the blackheaded girl paused in her tracks when her hearing picked up sobs and whimpers from the door on her left. "Well, well, well. What do you know, this is Yamato's room. For Pete's sake, he's not shedding his crocodile tears again, is he?" Ryoko thought, shaking her head disapprovingly.
But then again, it was a perfect oppurtunity to get closer to that crybaby boy. Not that Ryoko hadn't got closer to him last time round, she wanted to get even closer yet.
In addition, "How" wasn't her problem, Ryoko knew perfectly well how to get closer to him, sleep with him. Oh, duh. Isn't that what that Fllay girl did? And goodness gracious, she even managed to make him fall inlove with her.
Didn't sound too hard, in fact it sounded like a piece of cake with chicken feet for a topping.
"Perfect, I'm coming in Yamato," Ryoko muttered under her breath, as she gently slid Kira's room door open.
As predicted, Kira was lying flat on his stomach, head buried into his pillow. He looked practically useless and pathetic in Ryoko's eyes, but then again, he was vulnerable and innocent enough for Ryoko to manipulate him.
"Kira, what's wrong?" asked Ryoko, wiping the malicious smirk from her face and putting on a perfect calm expression.
Kira seemed to have noticed her entry, however, didn't protest about her being there. Ryoko sat down beside him on his bed, Kira just turned his head away from her, still drawing in jerking breaths of air.
"You know I'm here, right? What's bothering you, tell me?" whispered Ryoko, inching even closer to him, as she caressed his exposing cheek gently.
"I hate to see you like this, come on, Kira. You know I love you," Ryoko hummed, as she nuzzled him on the nape of his neck.
Kira's eyes snapped open, "Fllay," he said softly, as he tried to resist a myriad of thoughts of the pretty green-eyed girl, which were now flooding his entire mindspace.
"Wow, he thinks I'm that slut, Fllay. All the better, I'll just have to act like her then." Ryoko thought to herself, as her hands were now unbuttoning her uniform.
"Don't worry, I'm here, I'll protect you." Ryoko whispered softly, as she kissed him lovingly.
Kira opened his eyes, which were blurred by tears, he was hallucinating and saw not Ryoko, but Fllay. "Fllay, oh, Fllay," he said, tears flooding his eyes once more.
Ryoko just wrapped his arms around him, and cuddled up to him. "This is going to be interesting," she muttered quietly, as the malicious smirk, returned to her face once more.

"Is there anything I can get you, Cagalli?" asked Athrun, grinning gently at his blonde girlfriend.
"I'm craving a vegetable salad, but I don't think you can get it here, right?" asked Cagalli, giggling slightly, as Athrun pursed his lips at her and shook his head.
"Well, I may be able to get what you want, if I ask the chefs. But I doubt they'll do it, those bums are lazy pigs! They don't even cook our food properly!" complained Athrun loudly, but her spun around when there was a knock on the room door.
"Come in!" Cagalli called, so that whoever it was outside could hear her, crystal clear. The door slid open, revealing the face of the former Archangel captain.
"Miss Murrue, what brings you here?" asked Athrun curiously, looking at the brunette woman eagerly, waiting for an answer.
"The same reason that you are here," replied Murrue, smiling widely at Cagalli, who looked a little confused at Murrue's reply.
"I just thought that maybe Cagalli should go for a little check-up. I mean, just to see how the baby's doing, stuff like that. The nurse might do an ultrasound scan, and the both of you can take a look at the baby." said Murrue brightly, grinning at Athrun, who looked dumbfounded.
"That sounds like a great idea," said Cagalli getting up and walking toward the doorway in Athrun's arms.
Murrue led the pair to the medical unit, where a kind nurse was waiting. "We've been expecting you," she said sweetly.
Cagalli was made to lie on a bed, as the nurse sat on a stool near a scanner. Athrun kissed Cagalli on the head, as the nurse flipped up the bottom of Cagalli's shirt and began scanning around her abdomen, where a small bump had formed, which supposedly was where the baby was.
"There you go, that's the baby's head. It's about 3 months, so it's limbs are only partially formed. The baby looks in the pink of health, so you've got no worries." said the nurse, turning to smile at Athrun and Cagalli.
Once the scan had been done, "Miss, why don't you come back two days from now, and we'll do a blood test, ok?" suggested the nurse sweetly.
"Sure," replied Cagalli, delivering a small peck on Athrun's cheek before walking out of the medical unit.
Murrue smiled at the nurse, "Such a bright pair," she said laughing along with the nurse before heading off.

"There you are, I've been looking for you." said Kyo, throwing her arms around Yzak, and squeezing him tight.
"Sorry, I've been walking around a lot lately. Chatting with Dearka," said Yzak bluntly, brushing a strand of red hair out of Kyo's face.
"So you're saying spending time with Dearka is better than spending time with your own girlfriend?" retorted Kyo, giving Yzak a small pout.
"I didn't say that, missy. I just thought you were busy," answered Yzak firmly, declaring his thoughts out to Kyo.
"I have been busy, helping Mirre and Lacus out at the control station along with Ssigh. However, not busy enought to keep my thoughts from drifting to you." whispered Kyo leaning against Yzak, who had to fall abck on the wall for support.
The platinum blonde boy buried his face into her soft silky hair, as thought inhaling her scent. "You smell like flowers," he said softly to Kyo.
"Chamomile and Pussywillow. It's my organic shampoo," she replied, resting her head sideways on his shoulder, as she felt his arms wrapp tightly around her body.
There was a peaceful silence before Dearka shattered the peaceful moment. "Aw, that's so romantic! Yzak and Kyo sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" teased Dearka, turning a corner and dancing around a corner.
"First of all, we're not sitting in a tree, weren't kissing and I don't think it funny," hissed Yzak, standing up to full height as Kyo pulled away from him.
"I think it's amusing, how you even have a girlfriend." teased Dearka playfully, but he was aware that the young Jule had been offended.
Kyo had to hold Yzak back from socking Dearka in the face, and kneeing him in-between the legs. "Stop it! Miriallia will kill you if you lay a finger on Dearka!" Kyo warned sternly, tugging Yzak roughly.
A/N: Ok, that's done. My next chapter is coming up this Saturday, so hang in there!
