Your Kind….
Chapter 12: Decisions
By: Jen "The Stampede" Motou
I could barely feel the pain, as my white boot, collided with my bed frame. "DAMN IT!" I screamed out, in my frustration. I then "lied" –more of fell- on my bed. "URGH!" I screamed out again. I had no idea what to do now. My world was officially Up-side-down. I then paused, took in a deep breath and proceeded to have a glaring contest with the ceiling. It had been so hard, holding myself together in front of him. I wanted to scream at him. I wanted to ring his little toothpick-width, bandaged neck. I could have solved ZAFT's problems and killed then and there. I knew he was naïve, but come on! I had no idea he could get worse! I growled under my breath again, and then began to pace the perimeter of our –Nicol and I – room. I had no idea what I was going to do with him, but at this point it looked like there would be pain, yes P-A-I-N in his future. I stopped for a moment and stood in the middle of the room. "KIRA YAMATO, YOU BAKA!" I screamed out at the top of my lungs, and went back to pacing.
To tell you the truth I was more frightened than pissed –But I WAS pissed. You see, Kira, now an official member of the Earth Forces, could be tried by Military Law –Which doesn't apply to civilians – And since he's not only the pilot of the GAT X-105 Strike Gundam, his also being a coordinator is what's really gunna get him into trouble. They could do so much to him, for all the "crimes" he's committed. 'They can take away my best friend. If they even try I'm going straight to Dad.'
I sat down, and looked to the floor. 'Damn it Kira. They can take you away now, you baka! Damn! You Fucking moron!' I cursed mentally, as I turned away from the doorway, hearing it slide open. "So how is he?" A deep voice came from that direction, I said nothing. "How is he Zala?" The voice said over again, and I turned to see the sliver-haired teen, we addressed by the name of Yzak Joule. "Who?" I said, trying to sound oblivious. He glared at me, as he entered my quarters (uninvited). "Don't play dumb Athrun. That Pilot, how is he? Doing better?" Yzak actually sounded like he cared –which is something I wouldn't expect from a person who's spent almost their entire Military career trying to kill the Strike Pilot. "I don't know. Haven't been to the infirmary." I said lying down with my hands behind my head. "Bullshit Zala. You were at his side, last night." I sat up and glared at him. "How would you know?" I snapped back, and he grinned. "Gee wonder how that blanket I put on your shoulders got there. Wait, I did it." I blinked a few times totally confused. Why would Yzak have gone to the infirmary? To kill Kira in his sleep maybe?
He grinned at me again, then sat down beside me. "Zala, I'm not trying to be a Bastard for once. I just want to know how he is, your friend. I would be at Dearka's side if I was in your place." Yzak said in a rather coy tone. It sounded like he knew something, but didn't know how to tell me. Or like he wasn't trying to offend me –which was a first. "He's not my friend, Yzak. I don't even know him." He said with a flat tone, which brought him into laughter, which just died down to a glare. "Stop hiding it Zala, I know it hurts you. I know." He ordered in a sharp tone, while I raised a worried eyebrow at him, scared that he may actually know. I swallowed hard and looked straight into his eyes. "Know what?" He started laughing again and patted me on the back. "You never give up do you? Alright fine. I'll tell you. I heard part of your "talk" with the Commander." My eyes went wide, as he spoke those words. 'Oh crap! I'm dead, does he really know?' His glare faded into smooth, caring Blue eyes. Yzak was showing concern. "So he's your Best Friend, Huh? Well would it kill you to introduce him?" he grinned at me, like it wasn't that big of a deal. He smiled at me like we were in school, and Kira was just a new kid, he didn't know. "Y-Yzak…. I should have t---" I started trying to think of ways to dig myself out of the quickly growing hole I could see myself falling into. "Athrun, what you should have done, is not fired shots, and stopped us from firing shots. He's your friend after all, right?" I felt a mix of emotions when he said that, part of me was glad because I had someone to talk to about it, another part was scared that this would get Kira hurt worse, and the Last part was frightened that I would get caught as well. "Yzak, you're not----" "Going crazy, and yelling and screaming at you? Calling you a 'stupid bastard' for not telling us? Of course not, the Great Yzak Joule is capable of showing sympathy. Need a Hug, cry baby?" He grinned after cutting in. I starred at him for a long moment before hugging him, and no I didn't start crying. (I can fight the tears unlike Kira.) "Thanks Yzak." I said looking away. He sat for a moment and didn't say anything. "Why so glum?" He spoke breaking the silence. "Kira….I ...He…enlisted…." "WHAT THE FUCK?!"
