Well I haven't updated like any of my stories in a long time. But I finally finished this chapter. I have homework okay! Okay the second chapter. I hope you like it.
Chapter 2
Athrun didn't know what to say. "I. . . I . . ." he mumbled. Cagalli's face turned white as she looked at him.
'Well what do I have to loose. If I do this, I spend time with Cagalli, I can find out more about her, and I won't have to see her just in school. And I wouldn't be able to sit around my house and make pointless toys. Wow doing this sounds better than I thought.' Athrun thought and looked toward Cagalli. He flashed her a warm smile. She blushed a little.
"I'll do it." Athrun said proudly. Cagalli could have fainted at that. "You will?" Uzumi asked along with Cagalli who was screaming at him. "Yeah why not. I really have nothing better to do." Athrun said. Uzumi smiled and Cagalli sighed. "I can't believe this." she mumbled. Athrun placed a hand her shoulder.
"Good, then I'll see you tomorrow Athrun. Bright and early." Uzumi said and pulled Athrun out of the room. "She is my pride and joy, Please don't let anything happen to her." Uzumi said, concern shining in his eyes. Athrun nodded. "Dad, I'll show Athrun out." Cagalli said coming from the other room. "Goodnight Athrun." Uzumi said and left the two alone on there front porch.
"Goodnight Athrun." Cagalli mumbled as she stood across from him. "Goodnight Cagalli." Athrun said smiling and started going down the stairs. "Wait Athrun. I'll see you tomorrow right?" Cagalli asked. Athrun turned on the stairs to look at her. "Of course." Athrun said with another warm smile. "Don't get jumped." Cagalli called as he made his way off the stairs.
"Isn't that my line?" Athrun asked walking toward her and looked up into her eyes. Cagalli smiled and cupped his cheek. "Thankyou." she said. Athrun leaned against her hand and smiled. Cagalli blushed and smiled leaning against the rail. "Goodnight princess." Athrun said regretfully pulling away from her hand. Cagalli nodded and Athrun walked off.
"Cagalli?" Uzumi called after hearing the door click shut. He looked over and saw his daughter leaning on the door. Her eyes closed and her hands over her heart. "I know that face." Via said smiling and shocked her husband. "Do you think? With Athrun?" Uzumi asked looking to his wife. Via shrugged.
"Morning Athrun." Mana greeted as Athrun entered the house. "Mrs. Attha?" Athrun questioned. "Oh no. I wish. My name is Mana I'm Miss Cagalli's maid." Mana said and brought Athrun into the living room. All the boxes from before where gone. "Cagalli get you ass out of bed!" Mana yelled shocking Athrun. "I'm up okay." Cagalli grunted coming down the stairs. She was wearing a red jacket with a white tank top under it and long white pants.
"Umm ready?" Athrun asked with a blush. "Yeah. Let's go." Cagalli said and grabbed his hand and went for the door. "Goodbye Cagalli!" Called a women's voice. "Oh wait come and meet my mom real quick." Cagalli said and pulled Athrun into the other room. "Mom, Athrun. Athrun, Mom." Cagalli said as Via looked up at Athrun. "Nice to meet you." Athrun said with a bit of a bow. "Nice to meet you too. But I think if you don't hurry you'll be late." Via said with a smiled as Cagalli let out a yelp and dragged Athrun out of the house.
"Your mom and Mana seem nice." Athrun said. "Yeah well looks can kill you know." Cagalli mumbled as they made there way to the bus stop to find Kira and Lacus standing there. "'Morning Athrun. 'Morning Cagalli." Lacus greeted in her normal happy tone. "Hey you two." Kira greeted. "Hey Lacus, Kira." Athrun said with a nod. Cagalli stood there and let go of Athrun's hand after a bit. "Sorry." she mumbled a blush covering her face. "It's okay." Athrun said smiling.
"So how was your day?" Lacus asked. "Well actually." Cagalli mumbled. "Huh?" Lacus asked. Cagalli relayed the story to her. Well Athrun's version. "Oh my." she gasped as they got on the bus. "yeah." Cagalli mumbled and took her seat by the window.
Lacus was going to join her but Athrun took it. "Sorry, Lacus. Duty calls." Athrun said. Lacus looked confused. She shrugged it off and sat next to Kira. Cagalli never turned from the window until they got to school. She entered like everyone else. She didn't want to be there. She hated the school. The only things that where good there where Lacus, Athrun, and Kira. Cagalli sighed as she opened her locker. Athrun stood by her side the whole time.
"You don't have to make it look this weird do you?" Cagalli muttered. "Yea, actually I do." Athrun said that caught Cagalli off guard. "Sorry Athrun. It's just I'm not use to the whole 'Let's give Cagalli all my attention' kind of thing." Cagalli said closing her locker. "That's okay Cagalli." Athrun said and they headed for his locker.
"You do your homework?" Lacus asked taking a seat next to Cagalli, in class. "Yeah, you?" Cagalli asked. "Yep." Lacus said happily. "Mwu told me no homework today, so I can't wait to meet your parents." Lacus said happily. Athrun who was sitting on the other side of Cagalli stiffened a bit. Cagalli blinked at him. His eyes went wide and he quickly grabbed Cagalli like he was afraid. "Ath-" Cagalli started but a load screech, I mean a load yell came ripping through the room.
"AAATTTHHHHRRRUUUNNNN!" called a girl with short pink hair and blazing blue eyes. Cagalli covered her ears as they pounded loudly. "Dammit." Cagalli mumbled. "Athrun there you are." the girl said happily. Before anyone could say anything Athrun grabbed Cagalli by the shoulders and pulled her into a kiss.
'What the hell is he doing?' Cagalli screamed in her mind. Her eyes were wide with shock. Athrun only looked to see Mia looking pissed and stomping away. Athrun pulled back and Cagalli gasped for breath. "What was that!" Cagalli shouted, a full blush on her cheeks. "Sorry I umm, had to make her go away somehow." Athrun mumbled, holding his own blush.
"You want the whole school to hate me don't you!" Cagalli screamed pointing to Athrun who just joined them. A red stain was on her tank top. "What happened?" Athrun asked concerned. "Mia and Fllay!" Cagalli yelled standing. "Yes it would seem they are after Cagalli now." Lacus mumbled. "Fllay wanted to fight so I was blocking her. And then Mia came from no where and dropped her pizza on me, that was covered in sauce might I add." Cagalli said.
"I'm sorry, Cagalli. I failed you." Athrun said bowing his head. "Eh?" Cagalli asked shocked. "I beg you forgive me!" Athrun pleaded. "Okay already." Cagalli mumbled. Athrun who had knelt down in front of her smiled and stood. "Your so weird." Cagalli said moving to sit down again. Right where Fllay placed a peace of blue berry pie. Athrun saw this and pulled Cagalli up before she could sit. Which resulted into him pulling her into a hug.
"Ath- Athrun?" Cagalli questioned with a blush, she was leaning in his chest. "I saved you." Athrun said happily and pulled back a bit. Cagalli looked down and saw the pie. A evil smiled played on her lips. Athrun looked concerned at her. "Athrun, may I ask to use you?" Cagalli asked playfully. Athrun blushed deeply. "Umm for what?" Athrun asked. "I'm going to get Mia." Cagalli said evilly. Athrun looked like he was going to cry but nodded.
"Mia!" Cagalli called running to the girl. "What Attha!" Mia snapped. "Athrun wanted me to tell you to meet him at our table." Cagalli said pointing to there table. Mia smiled and pushed Cagalli over and ran to the table. Cagalli fell back but Athrun held her from under her arms. "Thanks." she said standing up. "Just liked you planned." Athrun said happily looking as Mia sat.
"EEEKKKKKKK" she screamed and stood up. "No way!" she shouted. Cagalli was letting out giggles until Mia sulked away where she busted out laughing. "Did you see her face!" Cagalli shouted. Athrun just smiled at Cagalli laughing. Her sweet voice sounded even sweeter when laughing.
Then a question struck across his mind. 'Why does Uzumi want me to look after Cagalli. I man she is his pride and joy but she got jumped, that's a one and a life time thing right?' Athrun thought looking at the gruff girl who was claming down her giggles.
"Cagalli?" Athrun asked. Cagalli stopped laughing at his serious tone. "What is it?" she asked. "Well I was wondering why you needed to be protected, and why you have a maid?" Athrun asked. Cagalli away with hateful eyes. Athrun was kinda glad that she looked away. He didn't want to be caught in that gaze.
"Cagalli!" Lacus called out and wrapped her arm around Cagalli's arm. "Hey Lacus." Cagalli greeted cheering up a bit. "Good news we have a study break today." Lacus said. "And that means?" Cagalli asked. "That mean we can listen to Lacus sing." Athrun informed her. Lacus only nodded and pulled Cagalli away toward another room.
"Wow this is a nice room." Cagalli said looking around. "Thankyou." a lady called out and stepped out with a smile. The lady had dark brown hair that pulled back into a messy bun. Her bright blue eyes shined in the light. "Erica Simmons." she said. Lacus nodded. "She helps me with my songs" Lacus said with smile. "I see you brought another friend. The more the married right?" Erica asked and sat at the piano. "Normally Nicol plays, but he isn't here today. Maybe you will meet him tomorrow." Athrun said taking a seat.
After an hour or so Lacus went to get water and they got to walk around. Athrun was having fun and messing with the piano with Kira. They where playing a funny little song on there. Cagalli looked around and spotted a violin. She smiled softly at it. "You can play?" Erica asked picking up the violin. "Well no not really. My mom taught me a long time ago." Cagalli said blushing knowing she would have to. "Come on." Erica urged. Cagalli picked it up and started playing.
Lacus smiled as Athrun and Kira stopped messing with the piano to listen to Cagalli play. When Cagalli finished she blushed. "I learned a long time ago." Cagalli mumbled again and place the violin back down.
"Cagalli that was great." Athrun said with smile as they sat back down and watched Lacus get ready. "While she waits are you going to grace us with your singing voice Mr. Zala?" Erica asked. Cagalli gaped at him. 'He sings?' Cagalli questioned in her head. "No thankyou." Athrun said as Lacus made her way back in. Cagalli looked a bit disappointed.
"Wow that was great Lacus." Cagalli said as they made there way home. Kira joined them so he wouldn't be doing anything anyway. "Well it was really nothing." Lacus said blushing.
"Oh look boys. A friend." a greasy guy said. He stepped from the shadows with a bandage on his nose. Many other men stepped out. Not as hurt as him but smiling evilly. "I don't like this Kira." Athrun mumbled. He pushed Cagalli behind him. Kira faced the other way blocking Lacus. They where surrounded. With twice as many man as last time.
"Cagalli can you hold your own of a bit?" Athrun asked shifting his eyes around looking for a way out. "Yeah." Cagalli mumbled. She pulled Lacus so she was touching her back. Lacus didn't argue. "Well get ready boys!" the main guy said and charged for Athrun.
It was time. The battle was on. Cagalli kicked one guy going to grab Lacus in the gut. He bent over in pain. Cagalli punched another guy. Athrun and Kira went to the same place and created a path for the girls. Cagalli saw this and pulled Lacus along with her. "Cagalli go now." Athrun shouted. Cagalli nodded and ran away with Lacus.
Lacus followed but yelped as a guy grabbed her hair. Cagalli quickly kicked the guy and they went running more.
Athrun and Kira where doing better and knocked out the other men. A lot of them ran away. "Where did Cagalli and Lacus go?" Kira questioned panting for air.
"I think there gone." Cagalli mumbled after they saw no men following them. "That's good." Lacus said with a sigh. Her poor long pink hair was knotted and curled all wrong. "I guess this is why you have short hair." Lacus said as they stepped out from the bush they where hiding in as Lacus pulled out some leaves and twigs from her hair.
"Well not really." Cagalli mumbled and shook her ruffled hair. "It was a choice for me." Cagalli mumbled. "What do you mean?" Lacus asked concerned. "I have a knack for getting into trouble so one time with guy was holding me by my hair, at gun point." Cagalli started, she sat down on the park bench under the street light that was on, Lacus placed her self next to her. "Well I did have a knife. So back when I had long hair, I chopped it all off. I went right across the back." Cagalli said pulling an end of her uneven ruffled hair to exam it. Lacus watched her with concerned eyes.
"C-Cagalli!" Athrun called out looking for the blond. His arm that was broken hung loosely at his side. While Kira helped him walk though Kira had bruises as well. "Cagalli!" Athrun called again.
Cagalli heard a calling and turned to see Athrun and Kira wobbling down to where they where. "Athrun!" Cagalli cried running to his side. Lacus also ran to Kira's side.
"Are you okay?" Athrun questioned weakly as Cagalli supported him as Kira pulled himself toward Lacus's gentle arms. "I'm fine. What about you?" Cagalli asked worry covering her face. Athrun nodded weakly. Kira who was better off then Athrun held Lacus in s tight hug. Tears following from both of there eyes.
"D-Dad!" Cagalli cried out entering the house. Athrun's weight weighing her down even though Kira was helping her hold him he was pretty messed up as well. Uzumi came running forward with Mana. "Hey there." Athrun greeted weakly. Kira smiled toward the parents.
"Are you better now?" Via asked giving Lacus a cup of tea. "Yes, thankyou." Lacus said softly. She was currently was wearing a white tank top and a long pink skirt. Via had to practically shove her into the shower to get cleaned up because she was so worried about Kira. Cagalli had changed her cloths as well. And sat on the floor next to Athrun on the couch. Kira was in the sun room eating something. Lacus was sitting next to him helping him move if he needed it.
Lacus called all there parents. She told them that they where all sleeping over. Cagalli sat next to Athrun with a troubled face. She was actually wearing a skirt. Cagalli was in such a rush she didn't really notice when Mana gave it to her to change into. She was actually worried about Athrun too that made her a bit confused because she only met the guy but she didn't care.
"Athrun?" Cagalli whispered hoping he would here her plea for him to wake up. This time was different from all the others though. Athrun's face made a hurt one. Cagalli got on her knees and leaned over him. "Athrun?" Cagalli questioned. Athrun's emerald eyes fluttered open and looked at her confused. "Cagalli?" Athrun questioned. "Yeah it's me. How are you?" she asked knowing full well that he was feeling like crap.
"Well I feel I went through hell." Athrun said as Cagalli helped sit back on the couch arm. "Your wearing a skirt?" Athrun asked more like stated. Cagalli looked down and first noticed the white mini skirt. "Yeah I guess so." Cagalli said softly. Lacus entered the room and ran to Cagalli's side. "He's up." Cagalli said happily. Lacus smiled as tears came to her eyes.
"There is a lot going now. And I don't trust you kids to go on by yourselves." Uzumi said as all the kids sat in the living room. Kira and Athrun sat on the couch and Cagalli sat on the arm of the couch next to Athrun. Lacus sat between the two boys.
"What are we going to do?" Lacus questioned. "I will hope that you all will love here." Uzumi said with a smile. Lacus's eyes widened in shock. Kira's did the same. Athrun turned to Cagalli, who's mouth dropped open from shock. "Here?" Lacus questioned to make sure if he was saying the truth.
"Yes." I hope you don't mind." Uzumi stated and left the teens to think. "This is a lot to handle." Athrun mumbled. Lacus nodded and Kira stood. "Kira?" Lacus questioned him. "I-I'm going to stay. It is peaceful here. And I like this house hold." Kira said with a smile. Lacus nodded slowly. "I do own you one. I guess." Lacus said unsure and helped Kira to stand.
"You?" Cagalli asked Athrun. He was very tired and his head fell into Cagalli's lap. "I guess I'll take that as a yes." Cagalli said with a blush. She slid down to the couch and moved Athrun a bit. He was lying back down, his head in Cagalli's lap as she moved his bangs and hummed him a song.
Lacus and Kira went to call there parents and tell them the truth. "C-Cagalli." Athrun mumbled. Cagalli stopped humming and smiled at him. "Yes?" she questioned. "C-Can you tell me a story?" he asked. "M-My mother tells me stories when I'm sick or hurt." Athrun mumbled weakly. Cagalli smiled and nodded.
"There once was a lonely princess that was kept in a tower far away. Her father had order her to be sent away, for he feared she would take the crown when she was old enough to be wed. She was locked in the tower for so long everyone had forgotten there was ever a princess of that kingdom. One day her father had died. And she was left alone in that tower. Now truly forgotten about she stayed in that tower. Till one day an army from another country took over the tower. The prince who was walking through the tower found the girl and instantly fell in love with her. She had not had any meetings with anyone else in this world and did not trust the boy. He taught her about the world one day at a time. He then found out why she was locked up and asked her if she would marry him. The girl agreed and they got married. The princess became queen and they lived happily ever after." Cagalli told her story.
"What an interesting story." Via said sitting down with two cups of tea. "Sounds like one of mine." she said smiling. "It was always my favorite one." Cagalli said taking a sip of tea, not moving Athrun around. "I like it as well." Athrun said with a smile. "I'm glad." Via said smiling.
"I called Athrun's parents. They said yes." Lacus informed them as both her and Kira walked into the living room. Cagalli nodded. "So I'll leave you all to get to know each other better." Via said leaving the teens alone.
"So me and Lacus will be sharing a room. And Athrun and Kira will sharing one too." Cagalli said. "Aww." Athrun complained, "I like it here." Athrun said turning in Cagalli's lap. Cagalli blushed a deep red and almost slapped him. "Well too bad." Cagalli said crossing her arms. "Aw don't be that way Cagalli." Athrun said taking her hand and kissing it. Cagalli blushed more and smiled. "Fine!" Cagalli said smiling.
Lacus had on her pink night gown on as she entered the living room the next morning. She found Via and Cagalli fully dressed and eating pancakes. "Oh no." Cagalli said pulling Lacus back up stairs. "W-What is it?" Lacus asked shocked by Cagalli's actions. "We always get dressed before we leave our rooms. House rule I guess. It means that after breakfast we are actually up." Cagalli said as Lacus got dressed. "I think I understand." Lacus mumbled as she pulled her blue dress over her head.
"Should we warn the boys?" Cagalli questioned looking at there closed door. "Nah. Let them sleep." Lacus said smiling. Cagalli nodded. "So you want bacon?" Cagalli questioned as Lacus came down stairs. "Sure." Lacus happily placing her self in a bar chair by the table top. "Cagalli may you also get the watermelon?" Via asked smiling toward her daughter. "Right." Cagalli said pulling out a container of watermelon for the refrigerator.
It was 9 am and Cagalli and Lacus had talked for an hour now. They where best friends at this point. Yet the boys still hadn't come down.
"I'm going to check on them." Cagalli mumbled and left Lacus alone on the couch. When Cagalli reached the door she knocked on her softly. "Athrun? Kira?" Cagalli questioned and popped her head inside. Kira was up and dressed, he was actually heading toward the door. "'Morning Cagalli." he said with a wave. Cagalli smiled and looked at the lump in the bed. "Athrun?" she questioned looking toward Kira.
Kira just nodded and left them alone. "Athrun. Oh Athrun." Cagalli said getting on one side of the be where his back was toward her. She propped her self against his back looked at his angelic face, his eyes slowly opening. "Good morning sleepy head." Cagalli said moving some of his bangs from his eyes. "C-Cagalli?" Athrun questioned looking at her through the streaming light from outside. "Yeah." she said softly. He took her hand and kissed it. Cagalli's cheeks flared a beat red color.
"Get dressed and come down stairs. We have stuff to do today." she and gave his cheek a kissed. Now Athrun blushed and Cagalli walked out of the room.
"So what are we doing today?" Athrun questioned. He was wearing a green shirt with a black jacket and black pants. "We are going to try to go shopping." Lacus said happily. "Try?" Kira questioned, he was wearing a blue shirt and white pants. "Yeah. Every time I go outside I get mugged or something." Cagalli said, she changed and was wearing jeans that had red and orange rings at the bottom, and a red shirt.
"So let's get going." Athrun said slipping his arm Cagalli's waist and started walking. Kira did the same with Lacus and they where off.
What will happen next? Will Cagalli get mugged . . . again? And what's up with Fllay and Mia? And will Yunna ever show up in the story? Are you tired my stupid questions?
Well next chapter is up. I hope I made it long enough. It was 5 pages on my word document. Well Review please.
