AN: SORRY I DIDN'T UPDATE FOR SO LONG! I PRESENT TO ALL MY BEAUTIFUL AND FABULOUS FANS: CHAPTER 4 OF ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR!
CHAPTER 4:
"Lacus wait!" Kira cried holding out his hand to her as he watched her run down the corridor.
"What's going on?" Flay asked groggily.
She blinked a few times and looked around. When, she looked at herself she saw that she was completely nude and covered herself with the blankets around her. Kira just stood there in shock not knowing what to say or do.
"Lacus…" Kira whimpered as he fell to the floor and started to sob.
"Why are we both here like this?" Flay whimpered, "and why do I feel so awful?"
She dreaded the answer only to pull out an empty liquor bottle from under the covers where she sat.
"Damn it!" Kira sobbed.
"Did we?" Flay stammered already knowing the awful truth, "No! This didn't happen! I don't even remember anything from last night!"
"Get out!" Kira shouted glaring at her.
"But your highness! I'm not even dressed!" Flay protested.
"Do you want your father to see what has happened here?" Kira shouted as he stood up, shakily.
Flay began to cry as she tried to get out of the bed. Slowly and painfully, she walked towards the doors. Flay picked up her nightgown and put it on. Then, she took the blanket and wrapped it around herself. Flay felt so hurt. She felt so hurt emotionally and physically. She was hurt because a friend of hers had taken advantage of her and rid her of her virginity. More tears fell out of Flay's eyes as she grabbed her abdominal area. She had the worst pain in the world and she wanted to just fall off the face of the Earth.
Kira on the other hand was fighting a battle with himself he knew he could not win. The guilt was creeping over him. He only remembered bits and pieces of what had happened the night before. Flay had intoxicated him with all the liquor and then seduced him… Taken advantage of him in his non-righteous state. True, he did admit having sex felt very good. Kira could still remember Flay's tight, heated walls, engulfing his manhood as she drove him wild, making him beg for more and more. What would Kira say to Lacus now? What would he do? She would never forgive him. Lacus loved him so much… More than anything in the world. And now she was gone. He had betrayed her love and trust.
He walked across his large chamber and found that a bath had been prepared for him. It was hot and steamy. It was built like a pool except it was dug into the ground. Patterns of mermaids and portraits of them hung in the grand bathroom. Letting the sheet fall to the floor Kira stared at his reflection in the bubbles that were foaming in the water. Without another thought he waded into the water and let the hot, steamy substance engulf him in a world of bliss. As Kira bathed he felt a little cleaner… While Kira was swimming in the pool he thought about what he would say to Lacus. She probably didn't want anything to do with him.
How could something so right have turned out so wrong? Kira thought as he let himself sink into the steamy water.
The water made him feel so peaceful. Kira let the water bring a false calm to him. Kira needed the calm, even if it was for a little while. Soon enough Kira needed air and jumped back up to the surface.
: AS MIRIELLIA AND TOLLE WALK DOWN THE HALLWAY:
"That was the best party ever!" Miriellia giggled.
"Yeah! I'm so glad that Lady Lacus talked us into coming." Tolle agreed.
Miriellia smiled at Tolle and leaned up to give him a small peck on the lips. Their "little world for two" was broken when they heard the sound of light footsteps coming towards them. Miriellia looked just in time to see a mess of long pink hair run past them.
"Lady Lacus!" Miriellia called as she watched Lacus run down the hallway.
Lacus didn't even bother to look back. Her heart was forever broken. And she knew the kind, yet sensible words of Miriellia could not soothe her. She didn't want to see Kira either…
I know! I'll go on that trip with Duchess Badjerol to England to study. She invited me a while ago. I hope she still accepts my formal agreement to go with her. Lacus thought.
:AS SIEGEL CLYNE TALKS WITH AZREAL:
"Don't you understand?" the blonde haired man with piercing blue eyes argued, "If we don't kill all the vampires first they'll kill us! They'll wipe out man kind!"
"I don't see why the vampires would want to wipe out their food supply. Besides that our numbers are declining. You are second in command next to Lt. La Flaga! So if I were you I would watch your tongue! Lt. La Flaga and I make these decisions alone!" Siegel Clyne spat.
"If I were in charge we would be fighting night and day!" Azreal shouted back.
"The word is IF you were in charge. And quite frankly you are not in charge. I call the shots. Now be gone from my sight! This is a pointless conversation! Nothing you can say or do will make me change my mind of what will be coming next! As of right now, we need to focus on rebuilding our economy!" Siegel Clyne said, "now be gone!"
Azreal strutted away angrily thinking, You won't be calling the shots much longer Siegel Clyne! My men and I will make sure of that…
A slam was heard through the empty halls. Siegel Clyne then sank into his chair. The aging man rubbed his temples, stress overwhelming him.
"I'm too old for this…" He muttered.
:WHILE SAI WALKS DOWN THE HALLWAY:
"Today is the day I ask Flay for her to be mine!" Sai hummed.
He was dressed in his best clothing and was waiting for Flay to walk out of the room she was "supposed" to be in. Instead he found her holding onto the stone bricks of the corridor for support. She looked very pale and tired.
"Miss Flay!" Sai shouted.
Flay only saw a blur of Sai and felt herself fall to the floor, "Please help me. I feel so sick…" she muttered.
"I will! Don't worry! I'll take care of you." Sai said.
"Thank you." Flay sighed as she tried drifting off to sleep in Sai's arms.
The next time she awoke, she found herself in the comfort of a bed that was hers for the time being. This time she was feeling a little better. Her headache had subsided and so did her pain. Flay scooted over to the curtains that prevented the light from entering where she slept. She loved the light and was intent on letting the light wash over her pale skin. With one, shaky, pale, sickly hand she pulled the drapes. On the balcony she saw the platinum blonde that she ran into last night.
"I've gotta be dreaming to be seeing this." Flay rambled as she rubbed her eyes.
Her eyes opened again as she saw that he was still there.
What does he want? Flay thought as she slipped into the slippers by her bed.
"What are you doing here?" Flay demanded.
He didn't speak for a moment then replied, "I see that you're in pain. I can make the pain go away."
"There's no way you could do that." Flay scorned.
Yzak pulled out a flask and said, "Drink this and you will feel better."
Flay eyed the flask and asked, "You're standing here on my balcony, uninvited and you're giving me something to make me feel better? Please! This is too convenient. What do you really want?"
"Suit yourself. Your loss." He said as he jumped off the balcony.
Flay widened her eyes in shock, "How did you do that?"
"One day you will know." Yzak responded.
A gust of wind swept over them making Flay shut her eyes. When she opened her stunning sea blue eyes she saw that the platinum blonde was nowhere to be found. The flask he left her was a regular tin one. Inside a liquid fizzed and bubbled.
This doesn't look very welcoming… Flay thought, but if it kills me, it's better than living a tormented life right now.
Flay shut her eyes tight and gulped the liquid down her throat.
"Flay no!" someone shouted.
Everything became blurry as she jumped up. Flay began panting. She saw that it was now dark outside.
"Flay wake up!" someone said as they shook her shoulders gently.
Flay opened her eyes to see Sai sitting there in a chair next to her.
"What happened?" Flay asked, "Where is that boy?"
"What boy? There was no one in here. I was here with you the whole time. I think you were just having a nightmare. I shook you so that you would wake up." Sai explained.
Flay flinched in pain as she held her head. A warm towel that was supposed to be cold was all she felt.
I could have sworn that he was here, Flay thought.
"Thank you for taking care of me Sai." Flay sighed as she looked at him.
Sai blushed and said, "No, you really don't have to thank me."
"Would you mind leaving for a little while?" Flay asked wryly, "I am in need of a bath. I haven't bathed in a day."
"Yes of course!" Sai said as he got up and walked out of the room.
Sai was unaware of Flay's intentions. Once Sai shut the door to her chamber Flay opened the glass doors to the balcony. She walked over to the edge and looked down. She was very high up. It would be so easy to just jump off and end it all and yet something was holding her back. She felt a familiar gust of wind pass her. Flay turned around to see the platinum blonde again. His silhouetted figure stood there on her balcony bathed in the full moon's light. He was wearing a maroon long sleeved shirt, and black pants with knee high black boots.
She began to laugh nervously, "This is another dream right? I'm going to wake up into reality. I'd like to wake up now!"
"You're a crazy girl, you know that. You don't even know what is real and what's not." Yzak mocked.
"Get off my balcony! Get away from me before I call the guards!" Flay threatened.
"I come to visit you and all you can say is fuck off? I thought the daughter of the prime minister would have more manners than that." Yzak scoffed.
"Listen, buddy! I'm in no mood for your games! I feel awful and I've been through way too much! A lot has happened to me and I would appreciate it if you would just leave! I don't know how you got up here, just go!" Flay snapped.
"I can ease your pain." Yzak offered.
"No, you can't. No one can." Flay replied back bitterly.
"Drink this." Yzak said handing her a tin flask like in her dream.
"Is this supposed to kill me?" Flay asked.
"No, it's supposed to make you feel better, you dunce." Yzak snarled.
"How dare you speak to me that way!" Flay shouted.
"No, it is how dare you speak to me that way! You really test my patience!" Yzak said walking over to her.
Although it did not seem that he walked over to her. It was like Yzak was floating towards her.
Flay stepped back frightened and said, "Who are you?"
"Now that's a smart question to ask after we've had a quarrel." Yzak mocked baring his fangs.
"You're a-" Flay stammered as he covered her mouth.
"I know you don't trust me, but just drink it. I want to help…" Yzak reassured her.
He let go of her mouth as Flay whispered, "Your hands are as cold as ice."
"I'm the walking dead. What did you expect?" Yzak snarled as he began walking towards the edge of the balcony.
Flay then did the stupidest thing she could ever imagine. She ran towards him and pushed him off. Yzak fell surprised and floated back up. He sat there in the air with his leg crossed holding his chin in a threatening glare.
"You really are one!" Flay whimpered as she back away from him.
"Very observant. Did you really think you could kill me that easily?" Yzak laughed a heartless laugh.
"Please don't hurt me!" Flay begged.
"I won't." Yzak replied softly.
"Why?" Flay whimpered as she sat there on the floor covering her mouth, shaking in fear.
"I've taken a liking to you. You're pretty damn lucky I did otherwise I would have drained your blood a long time ago. Now let's keep it this way, shall we not?" Yzak smiled maliciously, "Remember this is only between you and I so keep your mouth shut or I will come back here and drain your blood."
Flay could only nod because of how frightened she was at the man, no vampire that stood before her. She felt a ring on a necklace that was too big for her. Yzak was about to leave again when she said, "Wait!"
Yzak turned around and asked, "What do you want now?"
"Since you've helped me I want to give you something." Flay said shyly. She put the silver chain with the gold ring around his neck, "I don't know what it is about you either, but will you promise to come back and visit me?"
"Maybe." Was all Yzak said as another gust of wind blew over the two.
This caused Flay's eyes to shut tight again. When she opened her eyes, she saw that she was standing there in a blue nightgown alone. The gentle breeze toyed with her mangled red hair. Her blue eyes glowed their icy color as she looked up at the moon.
If he does kill me… It would be better off… No one cares about Flay Allster, Flay thought bitterly, And as for Kira… I hope this war kills him. There will come a time when he has to direct his armies. When that day comes I will be ready for it… He will fight and fight and fight until he dies… That is the only way I will ever forgive him…
:AS LACUS PACKS:
Siegel, finding it odd that his daughter wanted to go at the last minute to study agreed. He wanted the best for his daughter and the Polishing school she would attend would make her a fine and educated woman.
"Lady Lacus, why the change of heart?" Duchess Badjerol asked as she watched Lacus pack.
"I have decided that it is time to stop playing childish games and become a mature woman." Lacus sighed.
"I'm glad that you did. You can't go running around the castle all day playing the king's mistress…" Duchess Badjerol said.
"However, I am not his mistress and never will be. The king; I'm sure would want the best for me." Lacus replied.
"We'll be leaving in three days. Do you think that you'll be ready by then?" Duchess Badjerol asked.
"Three days is plenty of time…" Lacus assured her.
:BACK BY TOLLE AND MIRIELLIA:
"Tolle! Miriellia!" a black haired, almond-eyed boy shouted.
He was wearing a green blouse type shirt and black pants. He had on brown shoes. His hair was long and tangled today.
"Hey there Kuzzey, I thought that you got sick from all the liquor you drank last night." Tolle joked.
"This is important!" Kuzzey panted, leaning over and grabbing his knees.
"What is wrong Kuzzey?" Miriellia asked then ordered a younger kitchen girl to bring her a stool for Kuzzey to sit on.
The girl came back with the stool and Kuzzey sat down.
"Lady-Lacus." Kuzzey panted.
"Just spit it out Kuzzey!" Tolle said anxiously.
"Lady Lacus is leaving for a polishing school in three days!" Kuzzey whispered.
"What?" Miriellia asked shocked.
A flashback of when Lacus was running down the hallway with a tear-streaked face still plagued her.
"And that is not all." Kuzzey added.
"Well tell us what you know lad!" Tolle whispered back.
"I've been hearing rumors that the king slept with the prime minister's daughter." Kuzzey said.
"Flay?" Miriellia asked then wrinkled up her nose and added, "I know Miss Flay has a tendency to flirt but she's not the type to go that far is she?"
"The other maids that were cleaning up the king's room today said they found rum and wine bottles everywhere." Kuzzey sighed, "it's a good possibility they were intoxicated when they did something…"
Miriellia put her hands to her mouth as Tolle whisked her away. When they were out of Kuzzey's ear shot Miriellia said, "How awful! I have been saving myself for marriage. I do not know how any one could go against the lord and do such a thing…"
"They were intoxicated and not in their right mind… Besides that, you've been saving yourself for me right?" Tolle smirked.
Miriellia blushed, as she stopped both of them in the middle of the courtyard, wrapped her arms around Tolle's neck and said, "Tolle there is no one else in the world that I would want to share that special moment with than you…"
"The same for I." Tolle smiled as he leaned down and kissed Miriellia.
When they pulled away Miriellia felt a cold chill run down her spine.
"My! It has gotten rather cold right now." Miriellia observed as goose bumps rose on her skin. Even the hair on the back of her neck was standing up.
Tolle went up behind her and whispered, "I'll hold you."
The couple walked over to the torchlight and tried to get warm. Even in the torchlight Miriellia still felt cold.
There's something wrong here, Miriellia thought as she snuggled even closer to Tolle's embrace.
Up on a balcony overlooking the courtyard Dearka stood glaring down at them.
So that is my competition, Dearka thought as he stared jealously at the man holding Miriellia, He will be out of the picture soon enough Dearka don't worry. The war will wage even more and then he'll have to go out. He'll surely be killed…
Dearka smiled and brushed off his black shirt.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Sorry this chapter was so short! There hasn't been a whole lot of Flay and Yzak in my story so I put some scenes in here for all you Flay and Yzak fans! Also, I know that not many people are supporters of Miriellia and Tolle but I personally think that they are a cute couple. No offense to all of you Dearka and Miriellia fans. I support the Dearka and Miriellia relationship more. Take note that there wasn't any Cagalli and Athrun in this chapter either. I apologize for that.
COMING UP NEXT: Lacus goes away and Siegel Clyne is murdered. Azreal comes to power as general and now Mu La Flaga is royal advisor. Flay is still at battle with herself as Sai tries to get closer to her broken heart. Although only one person has touched the heart of ice that she is forming right now. Azreal calls all the men from the castle to battle and targets Sai as the next victim…But why is he after Sai? And why does Athrun come to visit Kira?
