Chapter 5 It's Only The Beginning
A/N I know the last chapter was a little short, really sorry, it was due to time constraints. Anyway, one of you asked me in your review if people in Japan could get married at 16. Well, I'm not sure actually, but then again, this is just a story. Anyway, hope you like this chappie just as much!
Flashback
"Kira, I love you," said Fllay, wrapping her arms around him and pulling him in close.
"I didn't want to kill, but I had to," sobbed Kira, turning to look up into Fllay's brilliant green eyes, that sparkled in the shadows of the secluded corner they were in.
"You killed to protect me, Kira, and you know I'll always be there for you." said Fllay, kissing him gently.
The scene suddenly changed.
"Ki-ra!" exclaimed Fllay, before she was engulfed in the flames of the explosion.
"FLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" screamed Kira, tears forming behind his eyes. "No I can't cry, I promised myself I wouldn't cry!"

"Kira, KIRA!" said Lacus, shaking her brunette husband awake, his eyes fluttering open.
Kira's eyes snapped shut again when he realised he was hallucinating about Fllay again. "No, it's my fault!" yelled Kira, his shirt wet all over from the cold sweat he had broken into.
"Kira, calm down, hush now. It's alright, I'm here." said Lacus, taking Kira in her reassuring arms and cradling him like a baby.
Akira had awakened as well from his father's yell from a moment ago, and was rolling around in his cot.
Kira's heart rate slowly returned to normal, and he fell back onto the bed breathing hard in and out, hand massaging his temples.
"Kira, relax. It was just a nightmare," reassured Lacus, getting gracefully up from the bed and tending to Akira who gladly outstretched his arms toward his mother.
"Why is this happening again? The dreams stopped a long time ago," mumbled Kira, sitting up and leaning on his pillow for support.
One arm holding Akira, Lacus slowly bent down, opened the drawer, and took out a fresh shirt for Kira to change into. The pink-headed mother sighed and sat down on the side of the bed, rocking her baby gently, singing to him as she went.
"Maybe you're just worried about what's going to happen in the future, I mean, after what happened yesterday evening in the park. I have a hunch another war's about to begin, but it's not going to be a war with weapons." said Lacus knowingly, looking at Kira, who looked back up at her curiously.
"It's going to be a social war with people turning against each other because they're not one alike, because they're different from each other." continued Lacus, stroking Akira's cheek gently, and making the baby boy hold on to his mother's index finger.
"Is there anything we can do to stop it from turning into reality?" asked Kira, looking at Lacus, anxiously waiting for an answer.
"Right now, I'm not sure. We can't go back to PLANTs either, they'll reject us as well, we're traitors to them, but if we stay here, it'll be just as risky. Either way, we'll come to a dead end. The only thing we can do, is to hold on to the very end, no matter what difficulties we may face." explained Lacus dterminedly.

It seemed like none of the four couples had gotten a good night's sleep. By six in the morning, they were all up and about.
However, it wasn't surprising that Ika was up the earliest at 4.45 a.m. The kind and polite maid had breakfast all set out on the table by 6.15 a.m. Though she could see that none of her young masters were in the mood for eating.
"I don't want it to happen all over, we've suffered two blows already. We can't afford another setback," said Cagalli knowingly, neatening Aaron's soft blue hair.
"We all agree with you on that, Cagalli, but the question is; can we do anything about it?" stated Miriallia smartly, resting her head on Dearka's lean shoulder.
"I was just discussing this with Lacus early this morning, but it looks like the answer to our question is, no. Practically majority of the residents living in this neighbourhood despise us, it's like being caught in a snare, and people walk past you and don't give a damn." remarked Kira bluntly.
"Just thinking about the past or what's going to happen is totally spine-tingling." commented Dearka, running his fingers through his hair, which was messy and sticking out in all directions.
"What's more, those two bastards we bumped into yesterday, they're a total abhorence." said Kyo curtly, holding a half asleep Ezann in her arms.
An awkward silence followed Kyo's statement, before it was interrupted by a loud knock on the door.
"Oh, who could it be at this hour of the morning?" exclaimed Yzak, getting up form the couch, but sitting back down when Ika got to the door before him.
Two police officers stood by the doorway, before greeting them and coming in. Ika stepped aside, looking curious at what was about to happen.
"Yes? Is there anything we can help you with?" asked Athrun standing up to full height, and looking sternly at both the officers.
"Yeah, it was reported that a man was pinned against a tree by one of you yesterday evening?" asked an officer, looking at the bunch of young parents.
"How DARE they report it!" shrieked Cagalli, catapulting to her feet from the armchair she was in and glaring at the officers.
"That asshole deserved that little fright I gave him! He tried dropping my son in mid-air!" barked Athrun, gesturing toward Aaron, who looked as stoned and puzzled as ever.
"I have to charge you with an assault, young man!" said an officer walking up to Athrun and roughly handcuffing him.
"You've got no right to arrest my brother, sir! That man tried dropping a 10 month old baby in mid-air! The one who should be arrested is that bastard who tried to injure the baby!" Kyo fought back, Ezann waking up form her mother's sudden ejaculation.
"Nevertheless, this young man still assaulted him!" argued the other remainding officer.
"You just shut up! Say anymore and I'll have you sent to the police!" yelled Dearka fiercely, looking absolutely outraged.
"Dearka! They ARE the police!" corrected Miriallia sternly, before returning her attention to the current scenario.
"I demand you set me free! " bellowed Athrun, kneeing the officer holding him hard in-between the legs, causing his hands to release Athrun and fly to his hurting privates.
"We're not finished with you!" said the other officer, uncuffing Athrun and helping his partner out of the house.
Ika closed the door carefully before waiting for a set of instructions from her young masters or mistresses.
"Ika, you don't always have to wait for us to give you instructions, feel free to do whatever you like." said Lacus kindly, smiling widely at the maid, who nodded and headed off into the kitchen.

The next surprise the bunch got, happened in the afternoon when Ika went out to get the mail. There was a letter adressed to all of them from an anonymous writer.
"You've really got the guts, haven't you? Could even fight off police officers! Well, let me tell you that we'll have the lot of you eradicated in no time. This is just the beginning." Yzak read out, feeling his blood boil in anger.
"What's their problem? What on earth have we done to offend them?" bellowed Yzak heatedly, slamming his fist against the wall.
"These people just can't accept people who aren't like them, that's their problem." answered Lacus, sighing and sitting down in a chair by the dining table.
"Well, whatever they're planning, it doesn't sound very good." said Miriallia uneasily, clutching a sleeping Andrea in her arms.
"We won't retaliate till things really get out of hand, for the meantime, let's just pretend nothing's happened. All of us are fine, anyway." said Athrun wisely, taking Aaron from Cagalli and throwing him into the air before catching him, making the blue-haired baby giggle and laugh.
Kyo placed Ezann in the playpen, so she could take a break, and maybe go for a walk with Yzak by the nearby beach. As expected, the baby girl protested by giving a loud screech, that would've shattered the glass windows if she had gone any louder.
"Oh take her with you or she'll brawl on forever!" said Dearka, looking pleadingly at Yzak, who pursed his lips before bringing his daughter into his arms.
"Let's just hope that the matter will not be pursued any further by those two men, and we can carry on with our lives." said Kira, sighing and walking off with Lacus.
