Chapter 4- Soaked and Nowhere to Go

Ohohoho… as I promised…Chappie 4 is up! Thank you all for your lovely reviews! bow Luckily, I didn't get much homework or assignments this week…yay! More time to get chapter 5 up and fix chapter 4 a little! I'll update as soon as I can!

Angelsorceress: I sorta used the Japanese version of Athrun's name. I'm so lazy…

Writer of Dreams: lol! I'll never kill off Cagalli…I love her too much…Cagalli just had an appointment at the doctors…a regular check-up. Chibi means like small or something like that…I'm not very good at explaining words…sweatdrop

An1391: O! Thank you so much! Hugs

The Angels' Princess: lol! Yes yes yes… Cagalli did seem to be pregnant, ne? Thank you for review!

Asga: working on it!

Yvonne: The cancer was bit of a little shock…lol!

Ashwings101: I like to use Japanese version better…lol…I'm not quite used to typing Athrun yet. I'm so lazy…lol

Cagalli Yula Athha: Yes it was a soap opera lady that was pregnant and having a baby. Cagalli and Nicol were just watching the soap opera. Lol! The idea just came up in my head when I was reading Love Hina. Just a girl and a guy in a room studying for an exam and a turtle was playing with the remote control inside. A person in the next room thought they were making out but it was just a channel from the tv that the turtle had switched.

Yzak: Can we start now! This is taking forever!

Ochibi-san: aww…Yzak…I never knew you cared…

Yzak: I DON'T!

Ochibi-san: right…that's so sweet of you…pat Yzak's head

Yzak: AHHHH!

Dearka: Where'd he go?

Ochibi-san: YOSH! Enough talk! Onto the chappie! (run after Yzak)

'#$$!$ BUS! TAKING SO LONG!'

The blonde princess released her anger on a nearby trashcan, kicking it around the inside of the town's square. Thankfully, there were hardly anyone there because of the storm or else she would have been carried away by security right now.

Its been half an hour, and still no bus had arrived. She reached for her cellphone to call her 'younger' brother, but her batteries were dead.

'I know! I'll walk home! Then I'll get a bus later on!' She laughed at the simplicity and fumbled inside of her bag. Her eyes frowned as the blond rustled around, trying to get something.

A few seconds later, she pulled her blonde hair and screamed in frustration. She had not brought her umbrella and was now literally stuck inside a building. The elevator dinged, but she paid no heed. All she wanted was to go home and take a warm bath and sleep in her soft, comfy bed.

While Cagalli was daydreaming, a slender hand briefly touched her shoulder and nudged her a bit. Turning around, she rudely snapped, "What!" but almost choked on the words.

In front of her was a teenager, same age as the blonde, but he seemed to radiate some kind of warmth. Her mouth fell slightly open, staring at his complexion and blushed, mumbling an apology for snapping at him.

He tilted his head confusingly and smiled a genuine smile that made even the tomboyish Strike Rouge pilot melt. He had gorgeous emerald eyes that shone brightly and his blue hair was slightly ruffled, but still pristine in her mind's eye.

"You stuck here too?" He said in a rich voice that made Cagalli redden darker and said a "Yea…"

"Oh, I'm Asuran. Asuran Zala. I just came here from PLANT."

"Cagalli…" She mumbled quietly. Asuran smiled and he tilted his head upwards.

"This isn't gonna let up any time soon…" he commented, examining the sky. Cagalli swore. She had to wait until the bus came and that bus stop was pretty far away. Walking in this kind of weather….she wouldn't last 10 minutes. Asuran noticed her swearing and raised his eyebrow.

"You're stuck here too?"

She looked away sheepishly, trying to think of a way to pass the time. 'Either wait or drown to death…' she thought. 'Wait…'

Her head snapped back to her accomplice and he looked back. "My friends borrowed my car…well…borrowed is hardly the word to describe it…" the Justice pilot chuckled. Even Cagalli couldn't resist a snort of laughter.

Asuran suddenly stood up and began rustling in his pocket for something. Cagalli watched him confusingly.

An umbrella magically came out of his jacket and he opened it up.

"You're walking? In this weather?" Cagalli exclaimed bewildered. Asuran let out a laugh. "Of course! My friends are probably going to get drunk and party. I doubt my car will come back today."

Cagalli smirked. "Why didn't you join them?"

Asuran blushed scarlet, which to Cagalli seemed extremely cute and adorable. "I-I had plans…" he stuttered, trying to hide his embarrassed face.

Cagalli was about to press the matter further when a torrent of water splashed in her face, knocking her to the ground. All she let out was a loud yelping noise and Asuran turned around, only to find Cagalli gone.

"Cagalli?" he blinked and looked around. She had completely disappeared from his train of sight. A small gurgling sound was heard and slight bubbling noises were made.

"FOR GOD'S SAKE! HELP ME!"

Jumping up from shock, he stared down at a drenched blonde girl with her eyes filled with rage and fury. He raised a shaking hand and she grabbed it, pulling herself up.

Her whole outfit was soaked and her face livid. Asuran didn't know what to do. Wet, blonde Natural girls were not his specialty. Sighing, he slipped off his jacket and covered her with it.

Her eyes widen as she felt a little warmer. She saw the jacket that was wrapped around her, and blushed. Asuran's cheek tinged a light pink as he sat back down beside her.

A large moment of silence passed on as they both sat in silence, with small sneezes from Cagalli that interrupted a few times.

'Stupid Lamborghini…doesn't even notice a person sitting here…Strange enough, it looks like the one that pulled in my street…' Cagalli grumbled, hugging her knees to herself, trying to keep warm, but in her clothes current condition, it didn't help much. The jacket was also getting wet, absorbing the water off her already dripping shirt.

A sudden vibration in her pocket caused her to look down and pick up her cell phone. Flipping it open, she rudely answered it with a loud 'what'.

"Oh Kira, it's you… uh huh… yeah… whole frigging basement parking flooded…Of course I'm stuck! Huh? Uh…"

She glanced at the Justice pilot and turned back to her brother.

"Some kinda blue-haired guy…forgot his name though…I think his name is uh…Andy?"

Asuran face-faulted into the floor, twitching.

"No he's not molesting me…no…none of that…is he looking at me…? Sorta… nononono…not that kind of way…for god's sake, shut up…Wait…what do you mean our visitor escaped? He's gone? Great…Well…I'm stuck here in the meantime so I'm waiting for the bus to come…Ok…just shut up and hang up the phone…Bye."

Asuran sweatdropped through the whole conversation. "Er…Who was that?"

"An idiot…" she rolled her eyes and put the phone back in her pocket.

The GUNDAM pilot would have asked a question, if it were not for his coordinator senses kicking in. He pushed Cagalli behind him, shielding her from any possible threat.

A car came screeching to a halt in front of them and water sprayed, soaking them both. The window rolled down and a familiar teen with his gravity defying hair poked his head out.

"Hey –hic- Asuran… -hic- Are you scoring out women without me? –hic-"

'Oh God, he's drunk…' Asuran thought as he tried to look for Yzak. He seemed to be the designated driver.

Cagalli peeked behind the boy and looked at the two in the car. "Hey…that's a Lamborghini… EH! YOU WERE THE GUYS THAT SPLASHED ME EARLIER!"

All eyes narrowed at Dearka who was blinking innocently.

"We sorta traded seats after passing the place…Dearka wouldn't stop swerving and he drove over a huge puddle…" Yzak muttered exasperatedly, giving a cold glare at the drunk tanned boy.

Ah-choo!

Yzak's eyes widen at the sound which interrupted him. Cagalli mumbled a quiet 'sorry' before sneezing again. Asuran sighed, strolled over to his car and led her inside. Grabbing a small blanket from the trunk, he placed it over the blonde girl and turned on the heat. Yzak got out of the driver seat and sat beside Cagalli. Asuran started up the car and drove off towards his friend's apartment.

Yzak had to drag Dearka, who was snoring loudly, out of the car and into their apartment's elevator. Unluckily, the blonde's foot was stuck between the offending doors, causing the elevator to repeat 'Remove obstruction away from doors…'

Finally, the silver-haired boy managed to break the doors forcibly and able to get to their room with no residents peeping out of their doors, trying to get a glimpse of the ruckus.

Asuran shook his head slowly and was about to drive off again when he heard a slight moaning sound from the back. Looking around, he found Cagalli, who was continuously changing positions, groaning.

"Hot…"

His emerald eyes twitched as the boy tried to grasp the situation. Feeling her forehead, it was extremely warm, but her hands were frozen.

"Dammit!"

The air conditioner wasn't working properly in the back seats and all that was keeping her warm was a thin blanket, which didn't do much, considering her clothes were still wet.

Getting out of the car, he lifted the surprisingly light girl out of the back seat and into the passenger seat. She was half-conscious, and pulling the blanket closer to her body.

Asuran had no idea where she lived so he quickly decided to bring her to the place where he was currently staying. Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne's residence…
