Chapter 9 Battle Between Emotions
A/N Ok, I know many of you are cursing at me for making Kyo pregnant, but I say again that everything will turn out FINE. So relax!
Cagalli sponged Athrun's forehead gently with a sponge, watching the blue-haired co-ordinator sleep soundly, a still and serene expression spread across his handsome features.
The blonde girl was accompanied by Lacus, who seemed just as worried for Kira.
"I wonder how Kyo is? Yzak has been avoiding her the whole time, not even speaking a word to her. Poor girl, she must feel devastated." sighed Lacus, shaking her head gently, from side to side, stroking Kira's head gently.
"You know Yzak, he's so aggressive, though he's softened down a bit ever since he met Kyo, his temper remains the same. He usually cools off after a while, but he's never taken this long." said Cagalli knowingly, dunking the sponge back into the ice water, and staring anxiously at the former Justice pilot.
The pink-headed mother couldn't help, but look from her baby to Kira, before sighing. "Kira, Akira needs you. He needs a father," she said softly, inching closer to the co-ordinator's face and nuzzling him gently on the cheek.
Miriallia led Kyo into the room, the redheaded girl's face still tear-stained and looking blotched. Kyo walked up beside Cagalli and looked sadly at her brother, who was still unconscious.
"Athrun, please wake up. I'm already close to losing Yzak, I don't want to lose you too." whispered Kyo, caressing Athrun's cheek gently.
"He WILL awaken, I can feel him holding on. He just needs some rest and time," said Cagalli determinedly, though she was desperately tyring to keep her tears from flowing.
"We all hope that Kira and Athrun will awaken, and I believe that they will. They have never left us before, and they will not leave us now. It's not their time to go." said Miriallia, her fists clenched, and her eyes blazing with determination and strength.
Dearka entered the room along with Yzak, but the very moment the platinum blonde's gaze fell upon Kyo, he turned on heel and walked out. Kyo got up and chased after him, her heart thumping hard and fast.
"Yzak, please don't be this way!" said Kyo, running up in front of him and blocking his way.
The platinum blonde young man just glared at her, his light blue eyes gleaming with fury and hate.
"SHUT UP! YOU'RE DESPICABLE!" hollered Yzak, right in Kyo's face, causing her to take a step back to steady herself.
Yzak roughly pushed past Kyo, knocking her against the wall. The redheaded girl, sank down against the wall to the floor, feeling utterly defeated and helpless. Thunderstorms brewed in her aqua blue eyes as she watched as the love of her life walked out on her.
"Yzak, I know I don't deserve to be forgiven, but I didn't choose this path. The least you could do is come back to me. Seeing you bark and holler at me, and turn your back on me, it's just breaking my heart." squeaked Kyo, her voice getting softer with each word, and by the time she finished her statement, she was almost inaudible.
Miriallia crouched down beside Kyo, looking at her friend cry bitterly, the pearly tears falling continuously from her eyes.
"What have I done to offend God? Why is he doing this to me? My life seemed ever so perfect when I met Yzak and all of you, when Ezann came into the world. Why is this happening all over? Does God want me to resuffer my past?" muttered Kyo so softly, it was almost a whisper.
"Nonsense, God would never do this to anyone. Maybe this is just another rough patch." said Miriallia soothingly, sympathising with the pregnant girl.
But suddenly, the irritating sound of Shinji's voice echoed through the walls of the house once more, indicating his arrival.
"Baby, why are you crying? Did that freak of a husband ill-treat you?" asked Shinji, coming up round the corner and noticing Kyo slumped on the floor.
Kyo's expression changed from depression and sadness, to a mixture of abhorence and fury.
"Yzak is not a FREAK of a husband, he is my husband, and the only one I will ever love. YOU are the one who has ill-treated me, and the cause of the state I'm in now!" yelled Kyo, her voice going off as her yells turned to screams instead.
Cagalli exited the bedroom, Aaron settled in one of her arms, biting a teething ring. "What are you doing here?" she hissed ferociously.
"Why don't I have a right to be here? This house is actually my property, for your information. Just be grateful, I've given you all the basic necessities, and a roof over your heads!" barked Shinji sarcastically, slamming his fist on a nearby table, making Aaron jump in fright.
Yzak came out of the room, Ezann in his arms. However, the moment the baby girl set her eyes on her mother, she wailed loudly, stretching her arms out.
Miriallia expected Yzak to walk over and pass Ezann to Kyo, but instead he just placed Ezann on the floor to crawl toward her mother.
Was Yzak going to stoop as low as this just to avoid Kyo over something she had not chosen to go through?
The baby girl, hastily crawled ovet to her mother, crying loudly. Kyo stooped down to pick up her daughter, soothing Ezann and neatening her baby soft red hair.
"Adorable little on, isn't she?" chuckled Shinji, reaching down to touch Ezann, however Kyo jerked backwards, pulling Ezann away from him.
"Don't even touch or lay a finger on her," snarled Kyo fiercely, clutching Ezann close to her.
"Over-protective, aren't you? I hope you'll be as protective as this with our child." retorted Shinji, grinning maliciously, reaching out to feel Kyo's abdomen where a tiny bump had formed.
The sight just made Yzak's blood boil, he stormed off away into the room and slammed the door shut. Yes, he was extremely furious with Kyo, and he doubted he'd ever bring himself to forgive her.
However, he couldn't deny the fact that he still loved her and that he felt the urge to protect her. They were still husband and wife by law anyway.
Yzak flung himself onto the bed, he had slept on the sofa last night, and as he lay on the bed, feeling frustrated, he couldn't help but inhale Kyo's scent.
Damn it, her scent just made him relax on the inside, but on the other hand, he was still angry with Kyo. His anger seemed to be having a war with the love he felt for Kyo, each side trying to overpower the other and take over his conscience.
The platinum blonde lay face flat on the bed, clutching his head, as the frustration built up within him. His feelings and emotions were all bottled up inside him, it seemed as though the one and only person he could ever confide or turn to for help, was Kyo.
Meanwhile outside the room, Shinji had forced his way into the bedroom Kira and Athrun were in and seemed to be examining the both of them intently.
"I'm warning you, bastard, lay a finger on Athrun and I'll pound you to jelly, and maybe, depends on how angry I feel, even castrate you." spat Cagalli, clutching Aaron tightly in her arms and watching Shinji's every move.
"You're another over-protective one. I know this hell of a co-ordinator is your darling dear, I know. But I have to admit, he is quite charming." remarked Shinji, raising an eyebrow at Cagalli.
"Ew! You disgusting GAY person!" yelled Dearka, stepping even further away from Shinji, and standing behind Miriallia, who was cradling a sleeping Andrea in her arms.
"What did you do to them? They will awaken, won't they?" asked Lacus, feeling so worried she couldn't help but blurt out her doubts and questions.
"Well they should, by right. But I can be wrong," said Shinji, putting on a babyish face and pouting at Lacus, who just turned to Kira, and took hold of his hand.
"Oh, you better be right, idiot. Or I'll make my threats even worse," snarled Cagalli, from where she stood, not daring to move any closer to the filthy guy.
"Shinji, I'm warning you, if they don't wake up. I promise you, I'll kill myself, which means the baby dies as well. If you really did love me, you wouldn't have RAPED me, and everything between Yzak and I would've been alright. But thanks to you, he's been avoiding me, and it's just making my heart ache even more!" barked Kyo, looking on the verge of tears once more.
"What're you saying, love? I DO love you, the baby as well." said Shinji, pouting at Kyo babyishly, however, drawing no response from the pregnant girl.
"Shut up, jackass! All I see from you is your lust for me, that's all!" screeched Kyo loudly, glaring at Shinji.
"Since when did you become so aggressive?" asked Shinji, looking a little reproachful. "Anyway, you've got such a sexy body. Can I help not giving in to the temptation?"
Shinji smirked at Kyo before leaning over and giving her a quick peck on the cheek, making the redheaded girl squeal with displeasure and wipe the feeling off her cheek.
The others were just glad that Shinji had left, and they no longer had to tolerate the sound of his voice, at least for the time being.
"Dearka, why don't you try talking to Yzak about Kyo? You're the next person whom Yzak will listen to." suggested Miriallia, whispering her idea softly into the tanned skinned co-ordinator's ear.
"I don't know about this. I maybe his friend, but when that guy gets violent, I can sometimes be no match against him." Dearka whispered back, looking at his wife for a reply.
"Just do what you can," said Miriallia bluntly, returning her attention to Andrea who had awakened from her little nap.
Cagalli sat down beside Athrun's bed, brushing a few strands of hair out of his face. He was oh so charming, that just looking at him made her blush and smile to herself.
However, Cagalli's thoughts drifted back to what would happen if Athrun didn't make it, her imagination running wild. She shook her head lightly, quickly dismissing the thought.
Aaron was settled silently on her lap, still engrossed with his teething ring, as it was colourful and in the shape of a rabbit.
Ezann gave a small yelp as she looked up at her mother, who forced a smile at her daughter and kissing her lovingly on the forehead.
Kyo sighed to herself, as she thought of her platinum blonde spouse, whom she loved more than her life was worth. All she could do for now, was pray that he would someday, return to her side.
