Chapter 3 Fixed Set-up

(9:25am. Forest)

Kira's eyes watched as the man came forward, holding a sword in one hand, and another sheathed by his side. "Where'd that little girl get off to, hm?" he asked in a sickly sweet voice. His cold eyes taking in his surroundings. Kira shifted his weight onto his right foot, the Samurai in front of him not noticing. "I don't know why the commander bothers with you. You may defeat the others, but they're just weaklings." his eyes sparked. His sword found its way into Kira's side, cutting at the blue shirt and into his flesh. The boy didn't even move.

Instead, he drew his sword, and it glinted in the sun. The Samurai seemed to smile widely, and changed his stance to another fighting position. Kira swung his sword once, making no sound except for the small cling of the sword striking the air quickly. The Samurai fell onto his back, a thin line that ran deep across his chest was bleeding. Kira walked towards him.

(9:34am. Forest)

She was unsure of how long she had been running, she was just hoping to keep Tori insight. A root growing from a tree was in the middle of her path, but she didn't notice it until she tripped. Lacus was sprawled on the ground after falling face first, Tori was bouncing around her, trying to see where she was hurt.

But as she got up, she heard someone behind her. She turned, hoping to see Kira, but they quickly seized her, holding a hand over her mouth to prevent her from screaming, and her wrists behind her to keep her from scratching them. Tori was bouncing around, making loud warning noises, hoping that her master would hear her.

"Now, now, what's with your struggle?" asked a voice she hoped would never hear again. "You want to join your brother so quickly? I would never have thought that with you." said Creuset, smiling at the torture he was making this girl go through. "You know, it is your fault he died, didn't you? Jumped right in front of you. I suppose you two could have lived together, but then again, maybe not." The man felt something change in the girl. She became limp, and she no longer struggled against him. "What's wrong, did I hurt you feelings?" he said, smiling. Tears coursed down her cheeks and onto his hand.

(9:48am. Forest)

Kira finished off the man, and turned to follow Lacus, when four more Samurai walked out of the shadows. "You guys never stop coming!" he shouted angrily as he advanced onto one. He cut him once from the shoulder to his left side of his ribs. He fell over, and two more Samurai walked out of the shadows. He stood up straight as they all drew their weapons. The brunette changed into a defensive stance, ad waited for the fist blow. But none came. The wind blew loudly; carrying the sounds of a bird's distressed call. Tori! Does that mean Lacus is hurt? he asked himself with fear. No, I will not allow these men to hurt her anymore! he screamed in his mind. The lotus in his mind suddenly grew roots that twisted and twined into his mind, uncovering moves and techniques and strategies. Also giving him a more calculating eye, and strength.

Kira brought his sword to his face, his eyes cold and desolate. He stepped back lightening quick, and cut the Samurai. He then turned to the others and began a sword fight that would be easy to determine the winner.

(9:52am. Forest Path)

The blonde opened her eyes and sat up yawning. She gripped her stomach and shoulder when pain issued to her body. She finally looked down and noticed the many bandages on her right arm, her left shoulder, and chest. "Huh?" she asked quietly when she noticed something else. "ATHRUN! BRING BACK MY SHIRT!"

Athrun was walking back to Cagalli when he heard her shout. He smirked, for once, she wouldn't be able to carry out her deadly threats from the pain. "Yes ma'am?" he asked mockingly when he walked into the clearing. "Athrun you pervert, give me back my shirt!" she shouted, her face red. He sighed and ran a hand through his blue hair. "Cagalli, there's a stream behind those trees. If you want your shirt, you can go get it. I'll be too busy trying to find the road again. Now go and while you're there, you might as well bathe." Cagalli looked at Athrun with narrowed eyes. He was up to something, but bathing did sound like a good idea.

As she walked of in the direction of the stream, Athrun followed slowly and quietly. "Now that Kira isn't here, I don't have to worry about him coming along." he said barely above a whisper with a wasted grin on his face.

Cagalli found the stream was quite wide, and waist deep. She also saw her shirt hanging from a tree like Athrun said. "Idiot," she said while unraveling the bandages. She did the chest area last. She sighed as she sat down in the cool water. It was refreshing, and she had time to think. She rested her head on her knees and looked at the top of her chest. There was a flower tattoo across, with vines, and leaves. Hers was a tiger lily. It stood for power and agility in her village. She sighed and thought about her brother's and Athrun's. Athrun had an emerald colored lily across his upper chest bellow his neck like hers. It stood for agility and wisdom. Cagalli thought about her brothers, trying to forget the last part of his prophecy. He had a lavender lotus across his skin. The lotus was the rarest and most feared flower of the four villages. He would be gifted with strength and agility beyond limits. And wisdom equal to that of a Samurai master. The main thing a lotus stood for though, was courage. But his prophecy also proclaimed he'll be doomed to a terrible ending, unless given sanctum by something, ugh, she couldn't remember.

"Kira," she looked alert as she heard rustling behind her. Her eyes became enraged. "ATHRUUUUNNNN!" she shouted as she grabbed her shirt and wrapped it around herself. "I SWEAR I'M GONNA KILL YOU!-AND I MEAN IT THIS TIME!" Athrun looked up from his hiding place and ran, with Cagalli following. "This wasn't planned!" he shouted to himself.

(10:03am. Forest)

Lacus was just a limp body, and a frozen mind. Tears making their way down her face. Her eyes were blue pools of sadness. Creuset was about to finish her, when the bird stopped chirping. The blonde turned and saw a man making his way towards them. "Ahh, I was wondering when you would show up." he said expectantly, now holding a small blade to Lacus's neck. Blood had already begun to seep out and down her skin. "Let her go, this fight is between you and me." he said in a deep and threatening voice. "My, is it? For you both are descendants of the Hukari." Kira looked surprised at his words. Both of us…he thought but was quickly brought back to reality when Creuset dropped Lacus to the ground. He then took his sword, the Providence, and threw it upward. It cut through branches and when it fell, Kira could tell what was happening, follow his enemy, or save the girl. Each one had a con. The brunette jumped into action, and ran towards Lacus and pulled her into an embrace to keep any wood from falling on her. Creuset ran off.

Tori hopped on the branches, chirping quietly, when finally, there was movement. Kira raised his arm and broke through the branches. He then stood with Lacus in his arms bridal-style and walked towards the road.

It began raining and Kira's eyes watched as animals scurried about, trying to avoid the water. He smiled when he passed a small bunch of rabbits. They first stared at him, but then hopped out of a small covered ditch and jumped around as if playing tag in the rain. Kira kept on walking till he could hear sounds of rain hitting a roof. He came across a small town. It looked as if recently burned. And some bodies lay on the paths. The boy winced his eyes as he realized that it was a Red Samurai raid. Luckily, the rain had put out the fire.

He made his way to a small house that hadn't been destroyed. He walked through the door, and walked into what must have been a bedroom. He laid the unconscious girl on the bed, and heard her sneeze. Oh no, I forgot about that. I'm sorry Lacus, he said in his mind as he took her pink kimono off, and saw she was wearing a light purple dress that had no sleeves and stopped above her knees. If she was sick, he'd have to find where the medicine house was. He decided to look later and kneeled down by the girl's side, when he heard sounds coming from the hallway. He saw Tori was nestled in Lacus's hair and walked towards the hallway silently. He dew his blade at a thumb's length, just incase.

Something ran down the hallway. He drew his sword and followed. As he rounded a dead end corner, he saw a figure huddled in the shadows. He prepared to strike.
