"Um… Andy? What are you doing?" Kira watched Andy rub his hands over a coat rack, making it look like he is groping the rack.

"Huh? I'm running a security check. Shouldn't you be watching Miss Clyne?" And replied simply, stopping the strange motions of his hands.

"I am not in any danger Mr. Waltfeld. Although, I am quite hungry. May we go to the food court now?" Lacus asked calmly. The Bodyguards responded by opening the door, and blocked Lacus from public view.

Kira was walking along with Lacus when he spotted a familiar blonde and a strange bluehead. So Kira was shocked when he saw his twin sister, holding hands, with the famous Athrun Zala.

Cagalli was happy. Simply put, she was happier than she had ever been. Athrun had kissed her. HER! Not some bimbo who had plastic surgery everywhere, not some bimbo who was filthy rich, but her. Kisaka had gone back to the agency to pick up some weapons. Cagalli realized something and immediately turned to Athrun, who was going under the pretence of Alexander Dino.

"Hey! Ath, er… Alex! I thought we were going to a press conference?" Cagalli asked, punching him in the arm.

"Ow! You know, your supposed to protect me, not hit me! Anyway, my Dad called and said not to go. Something about being good enough to handle it. He said go to somewhere public and mingle with the public. That's why I have these sunglasses on." Athrun explained while tapping his glasses. "Anyway, I have to meet Lacus her anyway."

"Wait, Lacus Clyne? The Singer and Daughter of Siegel Clyne?" Cagalli questioned, Eyes widening slightly.

"Hm? Yea! Why do you look so surprised? The Zala and Clyne Families are close. Or actually we were close. After my Mom died…" Athrun stopped abruptly. Cagalli sensed his sorrow and wrapped her arms around him from behind.

"I'm sorry Athrun. I don't know how, but I know it shouldn't have happened to someone as nice as you." Cagalli whispered into his ear. He turned around and leaned his face in. they were about to have a kiss when…

"Excuse me, but Cagalli? What the hell! Since when? And why? And you better have a goo-"

"Kira, Please! I'm sorry Mr. Zala and um… miss…?" Lacus and Andy were holding back Kira, who was struggling to get his hands around Athruns neck.

"Cagalli. His twin sister. You must be Lacus Clyne. Nice to meet you." Cagalli smiled at her. "I'm guessing my brother isn't very happy about this is he?" Lacus shrugged, and faced Kira.

"Kira, I know you are upset. But please, your sister is happy with Athrun. Please understand her point of view. She and Athrun are happy together. Let them be happy. Please Mr. Yamato?" Lacus soothed him him with her gentle words, while making a puppy-dog face.

Kira stopped struglling and Immediately dropped his gaze. She's right. Good for you Cagalli, you found someone. Lacus is so cute when she makes that face. Damn it Kira just kiss her ya wuss!

Kira looked up, and his eyes widened. He felt something snap and struggled himself out of Andy's grip. He pushed Lacus to the ground and drew his gun.

There was a loud crack of gunfire and everyone in the mall dropped to the floor. Blood spilled from Kira and Andy. Andy was caught in the right shoulder, spinning him around onto the floor. Kira, was less lucky as he got hit in the left leg, right arm and pelvis. However, Kira fired the SMG he had received from Murdoch, taking down the two assassins he had spotted just 2 seconds ago.

For 1 second everything was silent. Every bodyguard knew what this was. The Calm before the storm. The one second that everyone was too shocked to do anything. It passed. All Hell broke loose.

People were screaming and the few sane people left were calling an ambulance and the police. Lacus was crying and trying to stop the flow of blood from Kira. Andy had been wearing a full Kevlar vest beneath his shirt and was ripping off a good portion of it to bandage Kira's wounds.

"Lacus…Andy… Get out of here. Assassins hit more than once. Cagalli get everyone out of here." Kira was gasping for air as pain flooded his entire body. His vision started to fade as he heard sirens from outside. Blood loss, body's gonna be sluggish when I wake up. That is, if I wake up…too bad… the Last thing Kira saw when he faded was Lacus' worried face and her tears falling on his chest

Cagalli was crying in the Ambulance, and Lacus Clyne was crying alongside her. Andrew Waltfeld followed the ambulance in the car, Athrun Zala silent next to him. Cagalli…

Cagalli only stopped crying to hear what the doctor said to her when Kira was rushed into the emergency room. Athrun was next to her, comforting her. Cagalli was crying into his chest and Athrun was hugging her tightly. Andy looked grim, and remembered the shock when he looked under the masks of the assassins.

FLASHBACK

Andy ripped off the mask of the closest body. He fell back, looking at the face that stared blankly into the ceiling, his eyes still opened. The familiar face of Miguel stared up at him. This means… Andy ripped off the mask of the next body. Rusty stared back at him. Rusty and Miguel, part of DoubleSoul. This meant there was someone pulling the strings behind the attacks. It's him… the Crusader. But why is he targeting them? I need to talk to La Flaga.

END FLASHBACK

He inserted a dollar into the videophone and dialed the DS agency. He was greeted with a devastating sight. The entire place had been torn apart. The bodies of Kisaka, Murrue, and Mwu were the only things he could focus on. Rau… how could you? We were like your family! Andy abruptly ended the call. Andy was going over his options in his head. We could… no but then we could also… no that wouldn't work either. I could really use their help right now…

Kira woke up and found himself in a sunflower field. The sky was blue and filled with white clouds that drifted by harmlessly. A hand clasped down on his shoulder and Kira turned around. He was greeted with the sight of his parents. He had once shown Kira a picture of his parents, saying they died soon after they gave the twins up. But that would mean.

I am so high, I can hear heaven.
I am so high, I can hear heaven.
Oh but heaven, no heaven don't hear me.

Kira, you died. It may be hard for you to accept but, you died. You died in the most honorable way possible. You protected Lacus Clyne. I am your father, and you will have a peaceful life here.

"No! I can't have died! I have to go back! It wasn't my time! I have to go back…for them… for Lacus!" Kira was shouting at his father, crying.

I'm sorry Kira. But you can't go back! You can only stay here.

And they say that a hero can save us.
I'm not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.

"But I have to! For Lacus! Please dad! I have to go back!" Kira pleaded desperately.

Someone told me that love would all save us.

Why Kira? You have everything you can have right here. Just for Lacus? I don't see why she is so important Kira. Why is she important to you kira?

Lacus gently talking to him for the first time. "I simply insist on knowing my friends!"

Lacus kissing him on the cheek.

But how can that be?
Look what love gave us.

Lacus telling him of all the emotions in the world, Love would be the strongest.

Throwing himself into bullets and danger to save her.

A world full of killing, and blood-spilling, that
world never came.

That's when he realized it.

"I love her… I LOVE HER!"

And they say that a hero can save us.
I'm not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.

Goodbye son. And remember! You carry with you the SEED of heaven.

Kira felt himself come back to reality. He opened his eyes and saw lacus sleeping angelically, her head on his bed while sitting in a chair next to him.

Now that the world isn't ending, it's love that I'm sending to you.
It isn't the love of a hero, that's why I fear it won't do.

Lacus woke up and saw Kira staring back at her. She smiled immediately and opened her mouth to say something when…

And they say that a hero can save us.
I'm not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away.

Kira kissed her straight on. She was surprised at first, her eyes wide and body rigid. She closed her eyes, and melted into his arms.

And they're watching us
They're watching us as we all fly away.
And they're watching us
They're watching us as we all fly away.
And they're watching us
They're watching us as we all fly away.
