Chapter 2

Aware of it, Cagalli stepped back and went to her room, she opened the door as quietly as possible so he couldn't hear it. She rushed to her bed and covered herself with blanket, pretended to sleep. She felt the door was opened and another quiet click told her he had gone. He would check Milly's room also, she thought. She felt it was foolish to face him right now, she would prepare the plan tomorrow morning. Then she closed her eyes, tried to sleep.

Cagalli washed her face and dressed herself. Milly came to her room with a pale face.

"The King is here!"

"Yeah I knew it"

"I heard he is a nice man and also a good soldier". Milly said to her.

"A good soldier! From his look yes he is, but I'm not so sure for that. And you know, the servant that pretended to be deaf and dumb, is Athrun Zala, the man who killed Afhmed. It will be not easy, but I need to give a message to my father."

"We should wait here for him".

"And let them escaped?" She spoke, and anger filled her."Last night I heard them talking. And I think they will go to the coast. They mentioned a boat to a PLANT. With Athrun Zala lead them, I'm sure they can manage it. He is cunning, that one"

"Did you hate him so much?"

"You know that.", said her and she turned to the door "When you have repacked all the things, go down and get breakfast. Maybe together we can discuss what to do."

"Is it not too dangerous Cagalli".

"I have to do something Milly, I have to".

Cagalli went down, sat on the chair and ate her breakfast. Once again Athrun Zala disguised as deaf and dumb man, he brought her food and turned away even without looking to her face, and minutes later Milly joined her. While they ate, two men came out from room and sit down. Cagalli recognize them as Kira and Athrun Zala cousin. Nothing from them looked suspicious.

Kira got up from chair, Cagalli heard that he ordered the horses to be made ready. As his friend turned to the door, the door opened and the soldiers entered. Beyond them she could see another person holding the horses. Cagalli caught his breath as the landlord approaches them. Milly gave a big smile when she heard that they are heading to commander quarter.

"It must be your father troops, talk with them and ask for the help"

"Not now" Cagalli replied with small voice as she whispered to her. " And three against two, Athrun Zala would enjoy it".

"What shall we do then?".

"Go and tell John ( AN : it's the name of the driver ) to prepare the couch".

She stood up and head toward the two soldiers. "You must be very tired from traveling." She forced the smile to her lips. "Have you by any chance know my father, Uzumi Nara Athha?"

"How should I know you are his daughter?". One of them replied. They stared her with the looked as they didn't believe her.

"Here is my pass, and it was signed by my father". From her purse she took a piece of paper and gave it to him. "I was to meet him, but I'm afraid it will be delayed".

"Forgive my manner before, these days I couldn't trust people so easily"

"That's okay, I am quite understand". Cagalli agreed.

"We will see him within a day or more, do you want to accompany with us?".

"Thank you for the offer, but I think it will be better if we continued by our self". Then Cagalli looked at Kira and companions, she pretend that her eyes filled with sadness. "Look at them, my brothers, they are more than twenty years old and they are scared with the horror of war. And because of it they can't recognize me as their sister." She said and broke it with a heavy sigh. "Forgive me for saying the family matter to you".

"That's okay, where are you from?"

"ORB and we are heading to Heliopolis ".

"Oh.. I see then good day miss and Safe Journey to you".

"And to you too", she replied and followed them to the door. From the corner of her eyes she saw Athrun's figure approach her. The last conversation must be loud enough for them to hear. She motioned to him to stay back until the two soldiers have gone from the sight.

Then she stared to the three men.

"Why should the daughter of Uzumi Nara Athha lie to her own kind?" Athrun broke the silent .Cagalli tried to look normal and spoke to him, she had planned this and she wanted this plan to success. The plan to trap him.

"Well I didn't know you can speak and hear, sir, and the reason for my lies were plain. I suspect that none of you have the pass".

"And for what reason you help us, your enemy?" Kira spoke and insisted for the answer.

"I saw that none of you as murderer and criminal, and I saw that the three of you are innocent. I told you my reasons were plain".

"Damn woman, don't lie to me, you are the spy". Athrun spoke with the harsh tone.

"Calm down Athrun, She had lied for us, remember?" Kira said to him.

"And you believe her?" Athrun stared at his friend.

Cagalli gazed at the three men, she managed to calm herself. She needed to win at this conversation.

"Why men always see us women as a liar, didn't you know what women opinions about wars? We hated it and never wanted it to happen." She spoke with the fake tears at her face.

Kira and Dearka glanced at each other, they seemed to believe her but Athrun still suspicious. "I suggest we leave the place immediately Kira." He spoke to him.

"Didn't you hear what had those soldiers said to me? Without passes you can't continue the journey." Cagalli interrupted his speaking.

"So do you have a better idea?" Kira asked her.

"As you can see, I have the pass and it was wrote by father stated that it will permit the entire person that accompany with me. The soldiers believe you are my brothers. The lie could work again".

"Your father would be proud of you". Athrun said with sarcasm.

Cagalli stared at Athrun, her face white with an anger. Her hatred for him grew more and more. Controlling her temper she turned to Kira , "The death of Your majesty, Kira, will no longer serve any useful purpose to the people of this country, I have seen enough bloodsheds. Lets me help you find a safe place until you can go to PLANT".

"Let me see your pass" Athrun shouted to her. She handed it to him, and he examined it. "She didn't lie but I still don't believe her".

Kira smiled to her, "Well I think I must accept your offer, but as you can see, forgive my friend Athrun, he has a difficulty to believe others."

"My cousin is good at judging people" The blonde guy spoke "I am Dearka, I am Athrun cousin".

Cagalli smiled to them, and then Milly came in. Cagalli grabbed her hand and introduced her.

"My name is Milliaria but you can call me Milly?"

"Milly, could you bring our luggage? These men will travel with us for a while." Cagalli informed her.

"Let me help you" Dearka spoke as he followed Milly upstairs. A few minutes later, they appeared with Cagalli and Milly trunks. Milly's face was white with confusion; she didn't understand Cagalli's intention. She didn't look at Cagalli, and she followed her companion out to the horse drawn.

Cagalli sat with Milly beside her, Dearka and Kira were on her opposite. And for her relief, Athrun sat with the driver outside. She admitted that he was the man that any women liked to be near with but the way he looked at her and also the arrogance about him, made her uncomfortable.

Cagalli looked at her friend, she saw that Milly and Dearka had a talk. From the conversation she knew that Dearka proud with his cousin. He told Milly how they became Kira's friend and protector. He also told her, if it wasn't because Athrun brilliant moves and his fighting skill, Kira and he would die a long time ago.

Cagalli's eyes turned to Kira, and he spoke to her "Why you are wearing the outfit like men? I bet you will look so pretty in silk dress"

"I'm happy with the way I look" she answered him.

She might be the daughter of Uzumi, but her father doesn't like it if she wore a nice dress or gown. She didn't know what the reason was, but she obeyed it since she also didn't feel comfortable with it.

The ride was stopped. Wondering what had happened, she looked out of the window, wanted to see the driver, John, but she didn't saw him, she only saw one person there.

"John!" she shouted. Kira opened the door and approached Athrun. Hesitantly she also followed Kira. Athrun looked at her with a mocking face.

"What have you done to John" She shouted to him with anger.

"He left us a long times ago, Well don't worry bout him, he only suffer a few bruises"

"How dare you!" Cagalli spoke as her eyes blazing with anger.

Athrun get off from the sit and faced her "Sorry, I need that, I don't believe the driver. Who know that he doesn't approve your action to help us and drive us to your father house."

Cagalli's face went white when he told it, 'he knew that John will drive us to my father's'

Athrun smirked arrogantly, "Kira, would you get back inside, and you, Miss Cagalli, it will be nice if you sit back and said nothing."

Athrun took her arm and he threw her on her seat. He left Cagalli in anger, the plan that she had set up has been ruined because of him. She had no choice but to obey him for now.
