Chapter 4: Whether a choice or a decision

"You can't do that father!" the blued haired teenager practically yelled.

"Do not tell me what I can do and can't Athrun, have you forgotten why we came to Orb in the first place?"

Athrun slightly gritted his teeth. "But you never said anything about assassinating! They may be our enemies, but this just isn't right!" he said trying to defend what he believes in.

"What do you think I was going to do! I thought you knew from the beginning that this would happen." Patrick Zala spoke furiously with a slight of disappointment in his voice.

Athrun dropped his head and looked at the floor. "Why do you have to kill them all? There are some members of the Athha family that isn't involved in this."

Patrick let out a grunt. "They may not be involved…..yet. Don't you understand that if we only kill Izumi Athha, his daughter is to take his place?"

Athrun's head shot up. "Cagalli..."

"After school, come straight to here, I'll be sending our soldiers to the Athha's house and I want you to go as well.

3:45 after school…..

"Yes! Tomorrow is Saturday and that means….I get to sleep in!" Cagalli smiled happily to herself while walking home. "But I wonder… was it just me or did Athrun act a bit odd today at school? He barely even spoke to me…I hope I didn't say or do anything to make him angry…."

When Cagalli got home, she saw a note on the living room table. She picked it up and read it out loud.

"Cagalli I am very sorry but I was called to a sudden meeting today, so I will be coming home late." Cagalli sighed. "Another meeting father? It seems like you're never home…"

After, she took a shower and changed into a pair of blue jeans and a white shirt. Cagalli quickly brushed her blonde hair and didn't even bother to dry it. Suddenly, she heard her door bell ring.

"Ok, who would come to our house at…" Cagalli stopped her sentence to glance at the clock.. "At 5:10pm? And don't they know that father is gone for a meeting?" She made her way for the door and opened it. Her hazel eyes met with soft emerald ones.

"ATHRUN!" she yelled since she wasn't expecting him. "Wh…what are you doing here?"

"Come with me." He said simply and grabbed her wrist pulling her out of the house.

"What's the big idea? And what are you wearing?" Cagalli asked when she noticed the long, black cloak he had on.

"Don't ask anything, and just come with me." Athrun had a serious expression on his face. Cagalli got suspicious but followed anyways.

"Where are we going Athrun?" she asked in curiosity but he didn't answer back. "Well, I need to get back to my house, my father will be worried if he comes home to find me gone." Cagalli turned back to return to her house, but Athrun grabbed her arm and her wet hair stuck to her cheek when he twirled her back around. He continued to walk with Cagalli's arm in his hand, pulling her along forcefully.

"What are you doing! I said I need to go back Athrun!" she struggled hard to make him release her arm but his grasp was beyond her strength. She then tried to stop her whole body from following, but then she was practically being dragged.

"Let me go! Stop walking and talk to me!" Athrun stopped when they reached a huge apartment but still didn't let go of Cagalli's arm.

"An apartment?" she looked at Athrun. "You dragged me all the way here to show me this apartment? Ok, now that I have seen it, I really need to go home."

"You're not going anywhere." Athrun said flatly and pulled her with him to the third floor of the apartment. He opened room number 34 with a card and pushed Cagalli inside. When she tried to get back out, he pushed her back and he got inside too, closing the door behind him. He then locked the door and put the card in a pocket.

Cagalli stared at Athrun's face feeling puzzled. "What do you think you are doing? Let me out of here!" she yelled wanting an answer.

Athrun's serious face softened up a little as he looked back at Cagalli's face. He let out a deep sigh. "I have no idea why I'm doing this…." He muttered quietly under his breath. Athrun walked towards the living room and looked outside his balcony. Meanwhile, Cagalli kept trying to open the door, but it was no use since it was locked both from inside and out. She yelled out in frustration and knew she needed that card to unlock it.

"Athrun Zala, tell me what is going on! NOW!" She walked over to him, but all he did was turn to face her.

Cagalli's mouth tightened as she lost all her patience. Even though he was her friend, even if she never even dreamed of hitting him, her hand automatically flew over to Athrun's cheek. Before it slapped him, he caught her hand and held onto it. He looked straight at her, as if he saw right through her.

"I'm sorry Cagalli…the reason I brought you here is because….your house is too dangerous for you to stay in…." he stated softly.

Cagalli jerked herself away. "Stop talking nonsense and let me out of here."

"Listen to me, ZAFT soldiers are coming if you stay there. They mean to kill you."

"And how would you know? And why would they want to kill me!" she snapped back.

Athrun then slowly took off the black cloak he was wearing and let it fall to the floor. Cagalli's eyes widened and her legs felt unstable as she continued to stare at Athrun.

Cagalli had a horrified expression on her face. "G…get away from me…." Athrun tried to get close and calm her down. "Let me explain Cagalli…..I-" his words were cut off by her yelling.

"Get away from me you…..YOU COORDINATOR!"
