Chapter 3

Sorry about the wait. My com doesn't like getting online so sorry for the near month wait. I hope you enjoy this chapter!

"Wake up. Come on." a voice called.

Lavender eyes blinked open, but closed again soon after.

"I said...Wake up!" the voice yelled angrily and Kira jumped awake.

He sat bolt upright, looking around for an attacker...or something...He saw a guy on the other side of the bars to his cell and recognized him as the guy who brought him here before, and who had been his guard since.

His hair was silver and went to his shoulders. Kira was sure it couldn't have been straighter if a steam roller flattened the guy. Fiery, defiant blue eyes were glaring at him, but only the annoyance of Kira not waking up was there. No anger.

"Feeding time." he grunted, entering the cell and placing a tray of food on the table near the door.

Kira just pulled himself further into the shadows on his bed, bringing his knees to his chest and wrapping his arms around them. The guy glared at him.

"Come on! Why won't you eat?" he nearly yelled.

Kira just turned his head away. He wasn't hungry...Hadn't been hungry since the movie theater...

"You've been in here for 3 days now, you have to eat something." he growled out.

"I didn't do it..."

"What?" he asked. It had been less than a whisper.

"I didn't do it..."

No louder than last time, but he heard it.

"I didn't do it...I didn't...I..."

Blue eyes narrowed, but showed some sympathy in them. This happened everyday. He came to wake him up and feed him, the kid refused to eat, he tried to make him, and then he'd start mumbling 'I didn't do it.'

He was annoyed that it happened every time he came in, but sympathetic because...he was starting to believe the brunette.

"Hey..." he called softly, walking over to him.

Kira flinched away before the hand even touched him. The silver haired guard paused.

"Cagalli...isn't here, is she?" the voice came out so broken.

He was taken aback, to say the least. Kira was actually talking.

"Um...no..." truthfully, he had no idea. But he doubted it. Kira turned further away.

"I didn't do anything...ya know?"

'Back to this again, huh?'

"I just...I just sat there...Watching him die..."

The silver haired kid pulled his hand back in.

"And...I thought I was next..." Kira breathed out. "I thought I...was going to die...Do you know what that's like?"

Again taken aback, it took a moment for him to answer.

"I uh...Well no...no I don't." he replied truthfully.

Kira lifted his right hand and stared at it, but the silver haired kid still couldn't see his face.

"I couldn't move. I couldn't breathe...And I just let him die...So...I guess this is fair, huh?" Kira whispered the last part.

He turned his head to look at his guard, and said boy was taken aback by the tears straining down his cheeks. He hadn't even known the boy was crying...

A moment later, Kira wiped his eyes futilely and then lowered his head to hide it in his knees. The silver haired teen stood from the bed (when did he sit down?) And walked over to the door.

"Eat something. It'll do you good." he said softly. Kira didn't move. "And my name's...Yzak...ok?"

Yzak almost couldn't see the brunette turn his head ever so slightly in his direction, showing he heard. Yzak nodded to him, his usual expression falling into place before he walked away. Kira didn't move to eat.

-

"Kira's innocent and we gotta find out who really killed that guy-"

"Sai." Cagalli said futilely and halfheartedly.

"-to get him out." Athrun finished, not even hearing what Cagalli said.

"We'll need a good lawyer. And evidence to back us up." Lacus said in her soft voice. "It won't be easy."

"No one said it would be." Cagalli stood defiant. "Kira's been there 3 days now. Who knows what he's been through?" (-coughyzakcough-) "We have to go to the scene of the crime and find ourselves some evidence!"

"Ye!"

The girls stared at Athrun.

"Old English, never mind. Let's go." he said quickly and rushed out the door. The girls blinked a few times before following him out.

Sorry it's so short. I'm trying, but this...one...spot...I don't know what to write! -has stuff for later, but can't write it till the story gets there-
