Me: OMFG! (Oh my freakin' God) I am super sorry for the late update! But the painters came and my computer was disconnected, and my dad had to leave for work for the week, so my mom couldn't get the desk back against my wall and she wouldn't connect it up so I could update. I had chapter 14 all written up, but I can't use my computer so I have to use my mom's.

Alex: Stop it! As if they really care?

Olivia: Yeah Sam, who cares about you?

Chelsea: Her boyfriend does! Hahaha!

Me: Good, good, but I am very pleased to say that Strike Samurai is only a few chapters away from being completed! Yahoo!

Me: Oh, and yes...I am very cruel...oh so cruel...hahahahaha!

Olivia: Bacon? BACON! BACON! BACON! BACON!

Me: Crap, she loves bacon, CURSE YOU IYGU! (Not really)

Chelsea: Sam, you better update Easy Days after this!

Me: Chelsea, I will, I will, in good time, it's 10:18 at night! Enjoy the chapter; I have to give my hermit crab CPR!

Chelsea: And she doesn't own Gundam Seed! Or Vivian and Kazuma's Moment!

Me: You know, some carrots I eat taste like soap, so I use them to wash my hands...What?

Chapter 14 Rescue!

Kira ran in the direction he thought the two must have taken, his eyes narrowed, and in Lotus mode. (Beyond regular seed mode, but not berserk, yet) His sandaled feet made no noise as he ran quickly, with the others close behind. He ran past a tree, and felt a pain, or a feeling pass over him; he could sense the vile beast's presence.

Cagalli watched her brother through tiger lily eyes as he ran ahead of her, stooped low to get more speed. (Note, they are running like Inuyasha, not track team running) She needed to tell him about Darien's way of cloaking himself, masking himself away, but not now, it wouldn't matter in the upcoming battle.

Athrun was running barely ahead of Shinn and Stellar who could feel Kira's dark aura of the Lotus Hukari swell about him, Cagalli, and Athrun. Stellar narrowed her eyes, she felt the presence of a great and terrible being resonating from somewhere nearby, but what? Shinn could feel it too, and thought about how much he would hurt inside if he lost Stellar. He then hardened his ruby gaze; he made a promise to someone to protect her, and he would, even if it cost him his life. His promise to protect Gem.

Darien was still walking at his normal pace, but Lacus was frustrated. He kept talking about how much fun he would have destroying Kira and the other Hukari with his new power. The orchid Hukari wasn't sure what power it was, but she felt it just coating him, or pouring out from being so full, like some foul aura. Her blue eyes showed anger and resentment to the man that held her, and she just wanted to be back with Kira, and Cagalli, and Athrun and Mizu and Kitsu. I miss them, I wonder if they're worried about me, Kira, her thoughts troubled her, and the constant movement didn't exactly soothe the rawness on her wrists and ankles. The pink haired girl sighed, she could take the pain, it was the guilt that haunted her.

dare mo mina samayoi nagara kotae wo sagashite

What if the others got hurt while trying to find her? What if Cagalli thought she was just doing this to get away? She knew Kira's older sister didn't exactly love her to bits, and would do anything for her brother. And what about Kira? What if he thought she went willingly? His heart would be shattered. "Kira," the girl whispered as she felt Darien's grip around her tighten. "Why are you saying his name? He can't hear you, and he definitely won't save you. So just stop thinking about him." he said cruelly, his face contorted in resent and anger towards the Hukari. "He's just a messed up kid that can barely wield a sword! He doesn't deserve it! He puts his emotions first, that's his problem. Maybe if he just thought about the kill, he could actually be an opponent to me." at his remark, the brunette laughed merrily. He is demented, Lacus thought with a dagger stare.

futari naraba jikan sae mo shihai dekiru to omotteta ano koro

They resumed walking, and Lacus stared at nothing to pass the time. If I could only get these bonds off of me, I might be able to run. she thought while she gingerly moved her wrist for it itched, and winced in pain. The rope, being thick and hard and tied tightly around her wrists making them raw, broke the skin on her right wrist. She could feel the blood start to escape from the wound, even though it was quite small, it stung like heck.

tsuki hi wa nagare sora no ima mo kawaru you ni surechigatteta kokoro

Darien noticed the blood and waited for the small yelp of pain it would bring from the girl's throat. But Lacus knew what her captor wanted, and held her mouth shut. Darien didn't mind much because he would get his yelp, may it be a gasp or scream.

megurikuru kisetsu no naka de ano toki ga tomareba

Kira was about to fly past yet another wide trunked tree, but stopped abruptly. Cagalli and the others stopped too, to see what made the Strike Samurai stop. Kira bent down and touched a single wet spot on the grass. When he lifted his index and middle fingers, he saw a thin red substance spread over them, blood. It was barely a dime drop of it in the grass, but the Lotus Hukari could still sense it. Lacus, Kira thought as he stood. "If she's hurt, Darien will pay." he said in a low voice that sent chills down the other's spines. He then started off in the direction they were headed in earlier. Cagalli raced after him, Kira please be careful! Cagalli thought worriedly.

futari mata samayoi nagara kono sora wo kanata ni

Darien stopped in a clearing, shadowed by the thick canopy of leaves above. The place made the hairs on the back off Lacus's neck stand up. The area was deadly quiet, and thin shafts of light pierced through the leaves in certain places. No noises were heard anywhere, and Lacus winced. This place is so unholy, that not even the birds will rustle the leaves, she thought timidly. Darien placed her down roughly against a tree, and moved his face close to hers. "So Lacus, just what does that Kira of yours have that I don't?" he asked, his blood red eyes gleaming. Lacus was thinking of rude comments to say, when one hit her. "A soul, a life?" she stated mockingly. Darien growled, barring his teeth at her; his bloody eyes flashing dangerously.

ai wo sagashite

Lacus closed her eyes as if expecting a blow, but Darien just moved his face closer to hers and planted his lips onto hers roughly. His hands held her shoulders against the tree's trunk to keep her from struggling against his desires for her. She still tried to move her face away from his when he pushed her back up against the tree roughly, holding her shoulders tight. The man then pulled a small knife from his belt and held it to Lacus's stomach. Her body froze as she tried to contemplate what he was going to do next.

ima no kimi ni utsuru sora wa donna iro nara

She felt the steel of the blade sink into her flesh slowly and painfully and opened her mouth to cry out, when Darien pushed his vile tongue into her now open mouth. Her blue eyes widened at how much Darien was violating her. When he pulled away from her, he licked his lips and smirked. "You're not bad, who've you been practicing with?" he asked half-smugly and half-happily. Lacus was at a loss for words. Her lower lip trembled from the contact of his lips on hers once again, and her shielding walls had been pulled down, but then sprang back up immediately. "You, ugh, how dare you!" she shouted, breaking the silence of the clearing, her voice probably sounding through out the whole forest.

kikikaesenai nara

Darien just continued to smirk. "C'mon Lacus, I know you liked it." he urged as he came closer for another round. She turned her face away to the right, and her face lit up in a flash. Kira stood at the opening of the clearing, his stance that of the dragon and his right hand on his sword's hilt. "Kira!" she called out to him, tears were threatening to come from her eyes, but she held them in. The lavender eyed boy nodded his head, with a faint smile, but frowned once Darien turned to look at him. "Great, now you're here, just as I was having some fun." pouted the demented samurai as he raised to his feet, drawing his sword lazily. "C'mon let's hurry. I want to get back to my little game," he said in a sickly sweet voice.

taisetsu na koto wasurete shimatte iku you de

Kira drew the Strike, and flicked it in the sunlight, sending a small bright beam of sunlight into Darien's eyes. The brunette covered his eyes and cursed Kira as the said boy ran at him with his sword. The Strike's steel blade cut through Darien's chest, spilling his dark red blood everywhere. Kira's eyes were unfazed from the familiar sight, but Lacus had to pull her head down. Even if she wanted Darien dead, she couldn't watch the blood trail off of his body.

sukoshi tomadou kokoro

"So, the Strike Samurai has come to try and take back his girl? How sweet, to bad you won't get to see her!" shouted the swordsman as he pulled his blade up aiming for Kira's chest, but only slicing up the boy's left arm. Kira winced from the pain, for instead of one slash, there were at least fifteen deep gashes in his arm. Darien was laughing. "Don't you like my new attack? I think it's cut out for this job!" he shouted, laughing even harder. Lacus looked up and widened her eyes, Kira's arm was nearly useless, cut and gashed, and bleeding like a waterfall, the nearly blackish substance falling from the wounds to the ground; staining the grass.

mekurumeku ginga no naka de

Kira growled and ran at Darien again, but with more force this time. Darien brought his word up lazily to block the blow, but widened his eyes as he strained his muscles to defend him against the attack. Kira barred his teeth and pulled away, tacking a lion stance, ready to strike. The Hukari lunged in for the stab before Darien had a chance to block. The Lotus Samurai smirked as his blade struck home in Darien's liver. The victim howled in pain, for Kira was now using his full Hukari-Bloom strength, but how far could it go, before he lost control?

sono kokoro takuri

yosetemu

Twenty minutes, the battle raged, the clanging of the swords against each other, and the cries of anguish and pain from the attackers echoing through the forest. Kira was glad he told Cagalli to stay away no matter what unless he lost or won. The boy cried out as the man's sword, Vengeance (Nice name huh?) into Kira's kidney. Lacus had tears falling down her face, for she could feel Kira's pain, and she knew she couldn't help him. Something glinted in the sunlight and caught the girl's blue eyes. She turned to see what it was, and saw Darien's knife with the small splatter of her blood on it. The girl had forgotten about the injury Darien had inflicted upon her earlier, and an idea popped into her head.

futari tada hoshi wo miagete

The girl reached her hands behind her towards the small blade and grasped it between her hands. Sawing crudely away at the thick bonds that held her, she finally cut through the rope, and started on her ankles. When she finished she stood up shakily, and felt a large wet spot on her stomach. The girl looked down and winced terribly. Her pink kimono was nearly covered in her blood, and her stomach was just pumping out more of the liquid. Did he get a vital vein? she thought, but she ignored her wound to watch the battle unfold before her.

ano toki no sora no iro wo kasaneteru

The ground was now slippery and drenched in blood, and the two swordsmen were no better. Kira seemed to be losing more blood than Darien at a faster rate, but was still standing after nearly a gallon of lost blood. "Kira," she whispered.

taisetsu na koto wasurete shimawanai de itai kegare wo shiranu kokoro

Kira felt the man's blade steal into his flesh yet again, causing him to stagger. He rushed at Darien and pushed him back, and his gaze shifted to Lacus momentarily. His lavender eyes widened when he saw the wound on her stomach, and her pale hand stained red from trying to hold in some blood. He angered, Darien had hurt her. And he promised he would pay if that happened. He looked to Darien and shouted angrily. "Darien! You better take a big breath cause it'll be the last chance to breath air!" he shouted as the giant lotus in his mind became encircled in purple flame, and his eyes were reduced to no pupils at all, and his lavender eyes were now dark and had a red outline. He was now at half of his full potential as the Lotus Hukari Bloom Samurai, he was now Berserk.

megurikuru kisetsu no naka de

The Strike Samurai rushed forward as his blade gained a light purple aura. Darien's eyes widened as he watched his doom run at him. The blade of the Strike cut through the man's skin, but no cry was heard, just a thud, a plop, and the rush of blood leaking from his body. Kira staggered, and returned his sword to his sheath before falling face forward to the ground. "Kira!" shouted the girl as she ran to him and kneeled by his side, her knees of her kimono soaking with the mixed blood of Kira's, Darien's, and her own. "Kira, you came to protect me, but you're hurt. I'm sorry!" she shouted as she pulled his body closer to hers and held his head in her arms, his eyes closed, the blood rushing from his wounds. "Kira, my Kira. My poor, wonderful Kira," Lacus cried as salty tears fell down her cheeks and landed on the boy's closed eye lids. The friendly lavender eyes are what greeted Lacus's tear stained face as she watched over him sadly.

kono hoshi ga kiesaru

"L, Lacus?" he asked quietly as she smiled; more crystalline tears falling from her eyes. She nodded, "I'm alright, but you need to rest while I heal you, please Kira, I love you so much." she whispered as she held his open palm to her cheek. Kira smiled weakly. Lacus's hands glowed light blue, and she washed Kira in their light, covering him in it. The wounds slowly closed, stopping the loss of blood, and traveled threw his blood stream, restoring the lost blood and fixing the shredded tissue of his organs and skin.

toki ni wa

When she was done, Kira smiled a stronger smile, and wrapped his arms around the pink haired girl. From the edge of the clearing watched the others, and a happy looking Cagalli standing in the middle of them. Kira is happy with her, I'll give her a chance, for Kira. The Tiger Lily Hukari thought happily.

kokoro goto zero ni modoshite

But these moments of happiness were not to last. Kira had his head resting on Lacus's shoulder, smelling in the scent of her hair, it still smelled like roses and rosemary, a very clean smell that could lull him to sleep. Lacus had her arms around his neck, and crying into his soft brown hair. Neither of them noticed the presence growing behind them, until it was too late.

shounen no hitomi de

Lacus felt something, or someone, pull her roughly away from her love, and a strong arm around her waist. "Well, well Kira. You shouldn't leave yourself so open like that. As you can see, it was easy enough taking this girl." said the voice that made Kira want to scream. "Rau!" he shouted angrily, his eyes taking on Berserker mode, the red outline wider than the last. The blonde man smiled, and Kira could see the pleasure in the man's eyes behind his white mask. "Hand her over Rau, or I'll kill you slowly and painfully!" shouted the twenty year old, his sword glowing the light purple aura yet again. Rau continued to smile. "No, you'd never be able to kill me, not while I have her with me. And I need her for a little experiment I'm doing, she should be most useful." his smile widened. Lacus struggled against the Seventh Hukari's grip around her, but her efforts were in vain.

mitsumete

"Well now Kira, I'll be going now, and if you want to see your little girl again, I suggest trying to stop me, not that you will!" the man laughed and seemed to begin to fade into the darkness, Lacus with him. "KIRA!" she shouted as the two completely disappeared.

futari mata ano yume no hate

Kira fell to his knees, his sword by his side, covered in blood. "No, I wasn't able to save her,...again..." he said quietly, his eyes lost, blankly staring off. Cagalli approached him. "...K, Kira," she said, as her voice became choked in tears and she threw her arms around her little brother, as he cried away from her, her tears leaking onto his blue shirt.

arukidasu tsunaida te wo hanasazu ni

Hahahaha! You all hate me now! Hahaha! So, you want Lacus to be reunited with Kira? Want to know what Rau plans to do with her? Want to know what's happening to Kira? Want to know if Lacus will live? Want to know why I'm asking theses questions? Oh and the next person who says my chapters are short, I'm going to turn into the Lotus Hukari Bloom Samurai and come after you. I know the chapters are short, but it took me two hours, no distractions, to write this! So don't say my chapters are short anymore, cause I already know that!

Olivia: Don't mind her; I just gave her a really bad wedgie!

Alex: They really want to know that?

Olivia: Well I don't want them to think she's too evil, that's my profession!

Chelsea: Why do I work here again?
