Chapter 26 Hidden Approaching Danger
A/N Ohaiyo tomodachi! This chappie will have a little more about Ryoko and her little thoughts, about Kira, about her plan and of course about Maiya and Patrick Zala. But of course, there will be parts about the others as well! Enjoy!
It was dinner-time by the time Ryoko and Kira arrived home from school, much to the others' disgust.
Ryoko just sashayed in, taking her own sweet time to walk. While Kira just jogged up the stairs into his room.
"Kira Yamato! Aren't you going to eat something?" Cagalli called annoyed, from the dinner table. Ryoko just smirked and walked over to Cagalli.
"We've already eaten, but thanks for your concern." Ryoko said, chuckling to herself before walking up the stairs to her own bedroom and shutting the door with a click.
"YOU KNOW WHAT? IT WOULD BE VERY NICE OF THE BOTH OF YOU TO LET ME KNOW WHETHER YOU'RE EATING OR NOT, BEFORE HAND!" bellowed Miriallia heatedly, her right hand clutching her fork.
"Mirre, calm down. You've been really high-strung lately," said Lacus knowingly, looking at her friend with caring eyes.
"And it's all because of that toot of a young lady!" exclaimed Miriallia, jabbing her fork into the fish fillet, and sending rice flying all over the table.
"Wow watch it!" said Yzak, brushing grains of rice from his shirt and face.
"Sorry, I just can't stand the sight of her! She's so snobbishly annoying!" whined Miriallia, slumping lower into her chair and pulling a long face.
"We all know that, Mirre," said Dearka bluntly, brushing a strand of reddish hair out of Miriallia's face.

Ryoko lay down on her bed, as her hand extended toward her dresser top and fumbling around for a letter. After a moment of searching her figners enclosed around a small envelope.
"Those people are so blurr, they bring in the mail and notice that I have a letter, but aren't curious at all why, when they know I have no more living relatives." Ryoko muttered under her breath, slicing open the envelope with a penknife.
The letter said, "Ryoko, you're taking too long to complete your mission. Therefore, I'm going to take action myself. I received your telegram a few days back, and I must say you've done a good job of getting Yamato to stick to you. But you're taking way too long, and I'm growing impatient.
Tonight, at 2 a.m., I need you to wait by the front door of the bungalow to open the door. I'm going to kidnap Athrun's beloved pregnant natural girlfriend, and take you along with me. Don't worry about whether Athrun will be sleeping in the same room as that natural girl, I've got chloroform gas ready. It'll knock them out in seconds.
As to why I'm taking you, when Yamato finds you gone, he's sure to tag along, after all that natural is his sister. I'll be waiting for you."
Ryoko smiled widely at the letter, finally! At least something was going to be done, she hadn't seen any blood in a long time.
In addition, that Yamato seems to be suffering whenever he's alone and seems as though he's drowning in his thoughts. Mercy killing would be the perfect thing for him.

Kira came down the stairs and into the kitchen. Lacus was doing the washing but she quickly dropped everything and hurried up to him.
"Kira, why are you doing this? What's gotten into you? One minute you love me, and for some reason the next minute you seem to have lost every feeling you had for me." said Lacus, tears welling up in her baby blue eyes.
"Why don't you just pretend I was never part of your life, huh? I hate it when you keep coming after me!" said Kira hotly, folding his arms across his chest.
"Problem is, I can't do that, Kira! Every night I dream of you, I can't focus in class because my thoughts are always of you!" whimpered Lacus, tears rolling slowly out of her eyes, as she struggled to keep from breaking down.
"Leave me alone!" exclaimed Kira, turning on heel and attempting to walk out on Lacus, but she grabbed his arm in desperation.
With a violent fling, he threw Lacus off him. Lacus flew backwards a little, before she felt something hard hit her head and then, everything was black.

Lacus's eyes fluttered open, and the others breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh thank goodness, you're alright!" exclaimed Miriallia, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"What happened? Why do I feel so cold?" asked Lacus, shivering as she pulled the blanket up higher over yourself.
"You've got a very high fever of 41 degrees. Don't talk too much, you need your strength. Kira's too much, I think he's been possessed." said Kyo, holding Lacus's hand, which was cold like ice.
"How is she?" came a voice from behind, making everyone spin around.
"What're you doing here?" hissed Yzak defensively, realising it was none other then Ryoko.
"Why can't I be here? I'm just concerned for her." retorted Ryoko loudly, glaring at Yzak.
"Like real, you're the cause of all this? What did you do to Kira? Why's he behaving like this?" snarled Cagalli, her fists clenched tightly as she gritted her teeth.
"It's not my fault Kira doesn't love her! I tried dragging him down, but he refused!" said Ryoko frantically, tears accumulating in her almond shaped eyes.
"You're faking it! I congratulate you for being a brilliant actress! What are you going to do next?" asked Dearka fiercely, his face turning a boiled colour.
"You've been nothing but trouble, and I regret letting you into this household. Unfortunately, I don't have the heart to drive you back out." growled Athrun furiously, his jaw clenched as he spoke to her.
"If you won't drive her out, I WILL!" barked Miriallia, grabbing Ryoko by the shoulders and pushing her out of the room, shutting the door and locking it.
"You only drove her out of the room, not the house." said Yzak bluntly, looking at Miriallia.
"She still has to pack!" snapped Miriallia, making Yzak take a step back, much to the surprise of others.
"Do you think she'll pack, at all? She'll probably go up to Kira's room and seduce him again," retorted dearka, shaking his head.
Lacus just turned away as silent tears rolled down her cheeks. Every now and then experienced shots of pain in her chest, as though her heart was really breaking.
"Dearka, just shut up for now, ok?" said Cagalli menacingly, glaring at the blonde haired boy.
"Ok, fine, fine!" exclaimed Dearka, raising his hands in surrender.
Just then, Lacus began to sing a song.
I'm so tired of being here
Surpressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Cause' your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
This wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time
Cannot erase
When you cried
I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream
I'd fight away all of your fears
I've held your hand
Through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
I tried so hard to tell myslef
That you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone
All alone
The others couldn't help but just listen to their friend sing a song of sadness to herself. The words and their meanings sinking in to the depths of their hearts.
A/N I don't know if you guys find this chappie short, but if it is, I'm really sorry. I've got to work on "Come Back To Me" now. So, what will happent to Cagalli once she is kidnapped? Will Lacus be able to win Kira back? Or will her heart shatter into a million pieces, taking her life along with her? P.S The song I used for Lacus is actually "My Immortal" by Evanescence.
