Chapter 6 Endless Conflicts

A/N Many of you made guesses about who threw open the door, well now you'll find out! Hope you enjoy this chapter!

Athrun's hands flew to Cagalli's head to prevent her from knocking her head, as both of them were knocked to the ground by the impact of the door being swung open.

Athrun quickly rolled off Cagalli, who sat bolt upright to see who was the idiot who burst in at such a perfect moment.

"YOU ASSHOLE! I WANT MY FRIGGIN' COMPANY BACK!" yelled Mr. Jule storming into the office, grabbing Athrun by the collar and pinning him against the wall.

"Too bad! I've taken it over, it was doing so badly in your hands! I'm going to pull it's socks back up! GUARDS!" bellowed Athrun, twisting Mr. Jule's arm and breaking free of his killer grasp.

Two guards swarmed quickly into the room, took hold of Mr. Jule, handcuffed him and dragged him off, ignoring his constant threats and protests.

Reality suddenly came back to Cagalli. Goodness gracious, she kissed him, or more like he kissed her! But then again, she hadn't forgiven him yet!

Athrun sped over to Cagalli and attempted to help her up, but she brushed him off, and started to walk away again.

"You're not still mad, are you?" Athrun asked, his eyebrows furrowing in disappointment, his arms hanging formally by his side.

"What d'you think? Why shouldn't I be mad at you after everything you've done?" hissed Cagalli fiercely, her eyes glaring ferociously at the blue-haired co-ordinator.

"I thought I apologised!" barked Athrun, the anger rising in him once more.

"It doesn't make up for what you put me through!" hollered Cagalli, walking towards the door just as a pink-headed lady walked in.

"Fine be that way!" barked Athrun, utterly fuming at the blonde girl.

Cagalli recognised the lady as none other than Mia Campbell, pink hair, with a star hairclip, yep, definitely her.

"Athrun!" cried Mia shrilly, draping her arms around her fiance, and kissing him tenderly over and over on the face.

Cagalli shuddered at the sight, she walked off, oblivious to the fact that Athrun's eyes followed her all the way till she was beyond his range of vision.

"Boy, she sure is really prissy," Cagalli thought to herself, remembering the sound of Mia's high-pitched shrill voice.

The thought of it was already spine-tingling and annoying enough. Cagalli couldn't imagine having a conversation with Mia, how annoying it would sound.

How the heck could Athrun even stand it? What's more, Mia was Lacus Clyne's impersonator, didn't he mind at all? His fiancee posing as someone else instead of showing her true identity?

But then, Cagalli's thoughts drifted back to the charming blue-haired co-ordinator. His brilliant emerald eyes, and alabaster skin.

Cagalli returned to her office, which was right beside Athrun's. She sat in her swivel chair, and looking around her office, she slipped her hand into her drawer and pulled out a replica of the picture she had back at home on her bedside table.

"Athrun, why did you leave me? Although you still love me, there's Mia. I don't want to have to vie you with someone else." sobbed Cagalli, burying her head in her arms, as she held the picture close to her.

Athrun walked past Cagalli's ofice, with Mia clinging on to his right arm. Through a gap in the shades of the glass panel, Athrun could see the blonde girl crying into her arms, with no one to soothe or comfort her.

Athrun couldn't help but feel the pang of guilt that hit him in the heart. How he wanted to just go in there, hold her in his arms and tell her that she wasn't alone in this world and that he still cared.

Problem was, Mia would never let go of him, let alone let him go in and comfort his secretary, who was his ex-girlfriend.

"Athrun, want to go for breakfast? I haven't eaten anything yet." said Mia, smiling up at her fiance, who forced back a smile.

"Your wish is my command," Atrhun replied, kissing her on the nose, although deep down in the depths of his heart, he was trying very heart tp retend that he was kissing Cagalli instead of Mia.

Cagalli felt a jet of pain shoot through her chest, as she constantly thought of Athrun.

"No, it can't be happening again." Cagalli whispered to herself, clutching her chest. The doctor said she could be discharged, as she was already ok. But who knows? That doctor of hers was loony-cuckoo! He couldn't be trusted!

But then again, she didn't want to go back to the hospital, nobody ever came to visit her, and that was the worst part of it.

Cagalli would see other patients getting so many visitors, but she just lay there, waiting for someone to come in, hold her hand and tell her she would pull through the rough patch she was going through.

Even though she had Ochika, her mother, she was most of the time busy with other patients, though Cagalli understood perfectly well why her mother couldn't visit her.

Cagalli pulled a few tissues from the tissue box and decided to go for a short walk in the meadow just in front of the copany. Just maybe half an hour wouldn't hurt, and even if Athrun fired her, it would be better, since she wouldn't have suffer the pain of seeing him with Mia.

The blonde girl padded across the meadow, feeling the cool wind whip her face, and run through her blonde hair.

The sun hadn't risen fully, casting a nice red glow on the meadow. the air smelled of flowers and there were little squirels running across, looking for acorns.

Cagalli sat on a rock by the pond, staring at all the fish swimming about in the pond. She watched as little rabbits hopped about, enjoying the spring season.

But it only brought back grief to Cagalli as she looked around and realised that all the animals were in pairs. Even the people who were taking strolls in the meadow, in pairs, holding hands and whispering lovingly to each other.

The sight brought a song to Cagalli's head, as she slowly began to sing.

In a perfect world

You may never know

You will never dream

To face the world alone

I can have a home

Or create my own

I may not be brave

Or strong or smart

But somewhere in my

Secret heart

I know

Love will find a way

Anywhere I go

I'm home

If you are there beside me

Like dark

turning into day

Somehow will come true

Now that I've found you

Love will find a way

Silent tears leaked from the sides of her eyes, as the cool breeze blew, making her shiver and wrap her arms around herself, in an attempt to keep herself warm.

How she wished that Athrun would just appear and cuddle her tight, and warm her up with his body heat.

But Cagalli knew very well, that whatever she wished, would just merely be a fantasy.

Cagalli got up and headed back to her office, knowing that it would one whole day before she would be able to return home, to the security of her bed to dream...
