Warning- Character Death... and the sentences in italic are memories from when Kira was talking to Cagalli.

Cagalli stepped onto the balcony outside. She stood looking at the sky for several moments before someone touched her arm.

"Cagalli," the pink haired girl asked worriedly.

Cagalli sighed, smiling softly at the sky. She reached her hand out to touch it.

"Don't you sometimes wish that you could touch the sky Cagalli?" The young brown haired male asked her.

"Tch. Why would I want to do that?" She asked, turning to him.

"The sky goes on forever and if you could touch it then it would be like reaching for the future," he explained looking up at the blue sky above them.

"Reaching for the future," she said thoughtfully.

"It wouldn't be that bad would it? We could reach for the future together," he said smiling.

He reached his hand out toward the sky and she did the same. Suddenly he pulled back and grabbed her hand, turning around and heading to the house.

"Wha?"

Kira turned to her before saying, "Can't you tell that it's going to rain?"

Cagalli looked up at the slowly darkening sky and turned back to her brother, allowing him to bring her back inside.

"Cagalli," Lacus asked again, her worry growing.

Cagalli turned to her to questioning face. She pushed Lacus away suddenly, towards the glass door that separated inside from out.

"What?" Lacus asked, her eyes widening slightly.

"Can't you tell that it's going to rain?"

Lacus looked at her again before going back inside as she saw the darkening skies.

"Kira…"

Cagalli looked at the sky again.

'The sky stretches forever. So if we were to reach for it then it would be like reaching for the future. Let's reach for it together Cagalli.'

"Idiot," Cagalli whispered as tears rolled down her face. "If you're going to say something like that make sure that you live to see it through," she said, her voice shaking.

Kira climbed into his mobile suit, ready to defend all those he cared for.

"Kira," Cagalli said climbing into the cockpit with him.

"Cagalli!" He said surprised. "What are you doing up here?"

"Kira…" she said again, walking toward him and wrapping her arms around him.

"…" He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer. "What's wrong Cagalli?"

"Kira, please come back to me," she begged and clung tightly to him.

"Cagalli," he said surprised, "I will," he whispered into her hair.

Cagalli fingered the ring that he had given her.

"And we'll marry when I get back," Kira said smiling as he pushed his sister out of the cockpit.

"You stay safe too," he said as the door closed between them.

Kira launched and began to fight with a mobile suit. Halfway through he turned to see the Archangel, where Cagalli was, being attacked and rushed toward it. He didn't even see the knife coming at him until it had hit him.

"KIRA!" Cagalli screamed, fighting against Lacus who held her. "Kira…" she whispered, the tears coming down quickly. She felt Lacus shaking and realized that she was also crying.

When they finished fighting they fished Kira's mobile suit, the Freedom, out of space and brought it back to the dock. The crewmen took out his body and placed it in a coffin and that night they sent off one of their best pilots, and friend.

"Stupid," Cagalli said as she turned to go back inside, the rain just beginning to fall.

"Cagalli!" Lacus cried, wrapping her arms around her as they cried together.

"The skies' crying for you two," Dearka said as he walked into the room.

Athrun walked in after that to see the two distressed girls.

"He…" he began but could not finish. Kira had been his best friend, and he shouldn't have died.

They all silently stared at the sky.

'We can touch the future together Cagalli. The endless skies will always be above us when we do.'

This is my personal favorite fic for the moment.
