Something will happen to Cagalli...
High School Life
Phase 15: Tragedy
"What?" screamed Cagalli, "You want to make friends with me? Am I hearing this correctly?"
"You got it... Come on I'm sick of us treating each other like mortal enemies." Fllay countered.
"You must be planning something."
"No I'm not... Please believe me... I'm sorry for the bad things I've done before."
"Hmm... I don't know. I can't trust you just like that."
Fllay was known to be a liar, a traitor, so it was hard for Cagalli to believe in her words. Cagalli knew that Fllay was up to something, she could just feel it.
"Please just believe me Cagalli... I want us to be friends," said Fllay, "Is that to much to ask?"
"You must earn your trust first. I can't just go on putting my faith in you."
Cagalli turned around and walked away. Being friends with Fllay was the last thing she'll ever do... she thought that Fllay was planning something against Lacus again which is the main reason that she refused. If Fllay could show her that she really changed then that's the time she'll earned her friendship but as of now well... just be it.
Of course Fllay couldn't just let Cagalli get away with it. She asked her to be her friend and she just rudely rejected the offer. Her fists were clenched tight. Her eyes glared at the blonde girl, full of rage. With no hesitation, she marched towards Cagalli and pulled her hair.
"Hey! Ouch! What do you think you're doing?" Cagalli asked.
"Nobody turns their back at Fllay Alster." There goes her pride again.
"Let me go Fllay!" Cagalli demanded.
Cagalli managed to break out of Fllay's grasps. Her hair was totally mess up. She looked at Fllay angrily this time. She was ready to pounce on that red-head girl. With no one to stop her, it was the perfect opportunity for payback.
"You're going to get it this time Fllay!" Cagalli warned.
But Fllay showed no signs of intimidation. Even though Cagalli was lot stronger than her, she had no intentions of backing away from the twin sister of her beloved Kira. In a flash, Fllay charged with full force thus, pushing her down the stairs. Cagalli rolled down the stairs like a red carpet. She reached the bottom floor at an unconscious state. Blood crawled down from her head which screamed pain!
Fllay gasped in horror. She didn't expect that to happen. She had no intention of pushing Cagalli down the stairs. She had no intention of injuring her like that. Her good side came flushing into her heart. Feeling concern for Cagalli, she ran towards her. She could see an ample amount of blood coming out. Fllay started to panic.
"Can somebody help me! Please anyone!" Fllay shouted.
Luckily Kai was still sticking around the school, still looking depress as ever. He heard Fllay's voice coming from inside the school building. He quickly rushed to the scene. He saw the red-head girl holding a familiar blonde girl. You idiot that's Cagalli! He was like totally freaked out to see Cagalli in her current state.
"What just happen here!" Kai asked.
"I accidentally push her and now she's..."
"We better get her to the hospital quick... She's losing lots of blood already."
Clyne Mansion
In the midst of the beautiful rose garden, a pink-haired princess was singing her song. The song was called Fields of Hope- it was a soothing and relaxing song. She sang it with ease- her voice was heavenly that it could even tame a wild beast.
"Fields of hope..."
Ring! Ring! Ring! - Her cell phone rang. She picked up her phone and held it beside her ear.
"Hello this is Lacus Clyne... Who is this?"
"It's... me... Kai!"
"Kai? What do you want? Are you looking for Cagalli?"
"No it's not that. Something has happen to her."
Kai sounded like he was panicking which made Lacus worried. She felt a little ache in her heart. Kai breathed heavily as he tried to calm himself. He slowly told Lacus that Cagalli had an accident. Lacus shrieked at the mere thought of it.
"What happen to her?"
"She fell down the stairs," told Kai, "Clyne you better head down to the hospital quick. She's in a pretty bad shape."
"Yes I will... I'm going to inform Kira and Athrun about this too." Lacus said.
Without a second thought, Lacus rushed inside to get her driver. She demanded to drive her to the hospital ASAP. Her best friend was hurt and she needs to be there at her side. From Kai's tone of voice, he was serious about it. She only hoped that everything will be all right. She wasn't sure if she could stand seeing Cagalli in pain- it would only hurt her more.
"Cagalli please... hang on."
Lacus pulled out her cell phone and called Kira. As expected Kira had the same reaction as Lacus did. Kira informed her that he'll be heading to the hospital too. Now it only leaves Athrun- she tried calling him but he wouldn't answer his phone. It seemed like he wasn't home. She dialed his cell phone number but still no luck.
"Athrun, just where are you right now?" asked Lacus, "You need to know this more than anybody."
Hospital
Cagalli was currently being treated by the doctor and nurses in the emergency room. They succeeded in stopping the bleeding but she was still unstable. She has lost so many bloods so she's in need of a blood-transfer. The nurses checked her blood type which was A.
Meanwhile Kai kept pacing himself in front of the room. He was worried sick about her.
"Oh man, Cagalli I hope you're okay..."
He glanced at his shirt covered with blood stains. He was the one who carried Cagalli all the way to the hospital. He ran like he never ran before with the girl he loves in his strong arms. He almost got ran down by a truck just to get his destination. He got in a lot of trouble just to save Cagalli.
The doctor finally came out. He told Kai the bad news about Cagalli's condition. Cagalli needed blood real quick because she could die.
"No... Cagalli..." spoke Kai, "What's her blood type?"
"It's A... You have to find a blood donor with this type of blood for your friend."
At that moment, Lacus and Kira arrived. They spotted Kai. They approached him and asked about Cagalli. Kai gave them a "she's not okay" look. He suddenly banged his fist on the wall as his eyes glared with rage.
"It's all that Fllay's fault!" Kai said.
"Fllay? What does she have to do with this?" Kira asked.
"It was her damn fault why Cagalli's here in the first place," answered Kai, "She pushed Cagalli down the stairs."
"What!" gasped Lacus, "I know Fllay could be mean sometimes but I didn't think she would actually..."
"Try to kill my only sister." Kira said.
Kira clenched his fist- his eyes were filled with anger towards Fllay. If he'll see her again, he'll make sure that she's going to pay big time. Kira was dead serious. Cagalli was precious to him. Revenge started binding his heart- it was a desire to get Fllay. He held his fist high near his chest as it trembled in fury.
Suddenly a soft hand touched it. He turned to the owner of the hand which was his girlfriend. Lacus glanced into his purple eyes so deeply with kindness. It made Kira calmed down a bit. His thoughts about Fllay were slowly dispersing as she felt his heart gaining warmness. Amazing how Lacus was able to do that...
"Kira you should think about Cagalli first..." Lacus said.
"You're right," answered Kira, "Thanks."
"The doctor said she needs a blood-transfer," said Kai. "Blood type A..."
"I'm her twin brother so I have the same blood type." Kira replied.
"Thank goodness then let's inform the doctor immediately." Kai told him.
"You guys do that while I try to contact Athrun again." Lacus said.
Zala Mansion
Apparently, Athrun just came home from his father's office. He entered his room and placed his bag on the table. He noticed that his cell phone was ringing. He picked it up and held it beside his ear. "Hello?" He spoke.
A light and sweet voice answered back- it was none other than the pink princess. She seemed to have a frog in her throat or more like she was hesitant to tell him. A heavy feeling suddenly arose in his heart. He had hoped that what she was about to tell him wasn't bad news but...
"It's Cagalli... she's hurt and ah..."
A shock expression appeared on his face- he just heard that his beloved girlfriend was hurt... As Lacus goes on he came to know what happen to Cagalli. Angered he was when he found out that Fllay was to blame. The feeling of hatred emerged like that of Kira's. But enough thinking of that bitch- Cagalli was more important.
"I'll be there right away, Lacus." Athrun assured.
With one click on his cell phone, he quickly barged out of his room. He ran towards his garage to get out his car. He started the engine. He noticed the skies darkened with grey clouds.
"Damn it's going to rain!" He thought.
As the gates open he took off instantly.
Alster Mansion
Fllay arrived home and went straight to her room. She didn't even bother greeting her two sisters along the way- she just ignored them. Normally, her sisters would bother with her but they knew something was awfully wrong. Fllay had a big problem in her hands. Meyrin and Luna wanted to find out.
In her room, she wept... She felt regret, disappointment, and disgust for herself. Sure, she could do mean things to other people but not nearly kill them. After what she did to Cagalli, she doesn't even feel like eating or doing anything else. She remembered how she pushed the blonde down the stairs resulting to an immense head injury. How could she forget the blood trailing down on Cagalli's face, thus, staining her clothes as well? Those thoughts haunted her- she wanted to forget them but the guilt in her heart was still there. She cried hard at the same time yelling Cagalli's name over and over again.
Luna and Meyrin entered her room and saw her in that state. Fllay faced them with teary eyes and a sad face. They never saw that side of Fllay before. She was always the arrogant and flirty girl but now it was like meeting a different person. They approached her- as sisters they felt concern for Fllay. Luna pulled her in a tight but warm embrace while Meyrin gently rubbed her back. They were comforting her.
"There... there... Fllay," Luna spoke, "Stop crying okay it'll ruin your beauty."
"But sis... I... almost" Fllay paused.
Fllay wanted to tell them but she was afraid of how they might react. She has already been the worse sister ever so telling them about Cagalli will just make things worse. But she needed to- it was the only way to relieve her pain a little. Keeping it inside will only hurt her more. She faced Meyrin and Luna with a calm expression- a face that said that she was ready to go for it.
"I accidentally pushed Cagalli Yula Athha down the stairs," Fllay started, "And now she ended up in the hospital."
"What!" Mey and Luna shouted.
"You heard me. I almost killed Cagalli but I really didn't mean it." Fllay told them.
"I can't believe you, Fllay. Coming from you I can't say that you did it unintentionally." Meyrin said.
"But I swear it's the truth," Fllay defended, "I didn't expect that to happen."
Tears started crawling from her eyes. True tears of lament and guilt flowed which finally convinced her two sisters. Luna placed a hand on her shoulder and glanced deeply into her eyes.
"We believe you." Luna simply said. "So how's this Athha girl now?"
"You said that she's in the hospital right now." Meyrin added.
"Yes... But I didn't bring her there it was a boy from school." Fllay replied.
"In any case you should go to the hospital to see if she's okay." Meyrin told her.
"Are you crazy? I'm sure Kira and Zala are going to kill me if I show my face." Fllay said.
"But you have to," told Luna, "If you're really sorry about what you've done then you should go see her."
Fllay really didn't want to go. She was scared of Zala and especially Kira... Cagalli is a very important person to them and she just hurt her. She realized that she's in big trouble.
Hospital
Kai and Lacus were waiting for Kira to come out from the emergency room- telling them it was all going to be okay for Cagalli. Kai walked back and forth as if he was a husband expecting for a baby. Lacus seated herself on a chair with head down and eyes locked on the floor. She hoped and prayed that her best friend will be fine.
Suddenly someone gave her a light tap on the shoulder. She glanced to see who that was. She smiled as she saw Athrun.
He was soaking wet. His hair was all mess up and he looked like that he could collapse any minute.
"What happen to you? Don't you have a car?" Lacus asked.
"It's a long story," Athrun replied, "So where's Cagalli? Is she fine?"
"I'm sorry man we don't know yet." Kai answered.
Athrun was a bit surprise to see Kai.
"What are you doing here?" Athrun asked.
"Well for you information, I brought Cagalli here." Kai replied.
He took a glimpse on his shirt stained with blood. As much as he doesn't want to admit it he was actually grateful to Kai for bringing Cagalli to the hospital. Yet the dilemma doesn't end there. Cagalli was still in the emergency room, still being treated by the medical crew.
"I hope she's going to be fine," said Athrun.
"Don't worry Kira's donating blood to her so she'll be fine." Lacus said.
"I am totally going to thank Kira for that."
"Well he is her brother... He looks out for her."
Athrun started to fell the coldness. He realized that he was still in wet clothes. He cursed the rain for bad timing.
Flashback
Athrun took off from his mansion and drove into the streets. His destination was the hospital. His thoughts focused mainly on Cagalli- thinking about her condition made him worried so much. He noticed the grey clouds covering the clear sky. "DAMN, it's going to rain!" He mumbled. Yes, he was right, soon it started pouring hard.
"This couldn't get any worse."
Okay the worse part came... his car ran out of gas. He got so pissed that he almost broke the glass. He got off his car. His whole body started to shiver in the freezing coldness of the humidity. But that didn't stop him; he started running... still Cagalli was in his thoughts.
"Please be all right Cagalli."
He turned at one corner. A speeding car passed by causing the water to splash at him. He was totally wet but he kept on going. He was determined.
When he sighted the hospital, a small smile came to his face. He wanted to shout out "I FINALLY MADE IT!" He entered- all people were staring at him. His current appearance wasn't at all pleasing. He just ignored the stares. Cagalli was more vital.
End
At last the doctor came out and so did Kira. They both had smiles on their faces. Athrun, Kai, and Lacus approached them.
"So how did it go?" Kai asked.
"It went well." Kira replied.
"Ms. Cagalli is going to be fine," said the doctor, "Thanks to Mr. Kira here."
The doctor rubbed his head like he was a little boy. He went back in to double check on her.
Lacus hugged Kira with all her might- thanking him at the same time. She was so relief... Her best friend was okay!
"So when can we see her?" Athrun asked Kira.
"Well you can see her now but first dry yourself before you lay your hands on my sister." Kira told Athrun.
"How about me, Kira Can I now..." Kai spoke.
"That goes for you too Kai." Kira said.
Lacus giggled at this. Kira was actually acting all protective. Of course his sister is currently unconscious in bed with a bandage on her head... he couldn't just let two guys who looked like a couple of drunkards go see her.
"Okay I'm going home right now to change," said Kai. "Luckily my house is just near here."
"Be back soon okay." Lacus told him.
"I will!" He replied.
"How about you Athrun?" Kira asked.
Athrun couldn't just leave after what he's been through in the rain just to get to the hospital. He wanted to see Cagalli badly. He pleaded Kira to let him see her. Kira smiled and nodded his head, then he handed him a bag.
"What's in the bag?" asked Athrun.
"It's a change of clothes," replied Kira, "I packed my things before I left home since I'm going to stay with her here."
"Kira..."
"Don't worry I have lots of clothes in that bag so just picked one out and go change before you catch a cold."
"Thanks Kira."
