Well another chapter. You can see what Cagalli would look like if she had to wear a ZAFT uniform on my homepage. I have a link. I hope enjoy the story. I don't own Gundam SEED.
"So we have taken on the Earth girl?" Yzak asked Dearka as they walked down the hall. "I guess so. She is a spit fire. What a cutie." Dearka said with a sly smile. "Excuse me." a voice called behind them. Dearka turned and got caught by a pair of blue eyes. "Hey you that girl I saved." Dearka said dumbly pointing at her. "So what!" she snapped and walked past him to the bride.
"Oh feisty." Dearka said with a smile. "I have found my new target." Dearka said. "Wait you saved her?" Yzak asked. "Yeah I was getting away with my Gundam but I saw her running. She fell down, so I picked her up and pulled her into the cockpit with me. I mean, she didn't protest at the time." Dearka said sounding kind of spaced out.
"You and Athrun are nuts." Yzak comment as they entered the resting room. Nicol sat in there reading over a piece of music. Athrun stood watching out the window. A battle seemed to be going on outside. "What is up?" Dearka asked stepping to where Athrun was. "C. is fighting." Athrun said. They had given Cagalli the nick-name of C. It seemed to suit her. She was a girl yet she acted more like a boy.
Over they past few days C had opened up to the boys, almost to the point where she could be found fighting with Yzak everyday. Her friend Milly was found by her side most of the time, when she wasn't working the ship. It seemed like Dearka was spending as much time with Milly as possible. He still wasn't on a first name bases though.
"Go C.!" Dearka called happily rooting for Cagalli. Cagalli was doing really well with a GIN. She was battling a seasoned pilot. She quickly chopped off it's arms and shot the legs off. It was over and Cagalli had won. "Hey she did it. A new record." Nicol said looking up at Athrun. He nodded. Some people would say that Athrun and Cagalli have grown closer as well. He would always rush to greet her after a battle and she would do the same. They were always talking. Athrun could that say he had fallen for Cagalli. It only pulled his heart was his fiancé Lacus Clyne and that Cagalli had no idea how he felt.
"Cagalli." Athrun called gilding into the changing room. Athrun didn't need to wait for her to change, she normal had cloths under anyway. He pulled her into a hug. Like they normally did after a battle. "Hey Athrun! Did you see me!" Cagalli asked excitedly. "Yeah that was great!" Athrun said. She smiled proudly. "Go change and get ready, we are planning to stock up soon." Athrun said pulling back. Cagalli nodded. After Cagalli finished changing she went to her room. To find it alone. 'Milly must be working.' Cagalli thought.
"Hey C. Where heading to the PLANTS." Yzak called knocking on her door. Cagalli called an okay. The truth was that she was scared out of her mind. She had never been to the PLANTS before. Everyone had family there. It looked like Milly and Cagalli where going to be hanging out more. With that Milly entered the room.
"Hey Cags." Milly said with a wave. "Oh hey." Cagalli mumbled snapped out of her thoughts. "Are you okay?" Milly asked. "Well we are going to the PLANTS right?" Cagalli asked. "Yeah." Milly said slowly nodding. "Well what are we going to do?" Cagalli asked.
"Well the commander said he says he has something for you to do." Milly said sitting on her bed. "I'm going with Dearka." Milly said. "Whoa you called him by his first name, to I smell a shift in the wind?" Cagalli asked teasing, mock tone. "Shut up!" Milly yelled as she held a blush.
"Okay then." Cagalli said smiling. "I guess I'll be on my own." Cagalli said with a sigh. "Don't so gloom Cags. Your making me feel bad." Milly said with a sad face. "It's okay really." Cagalli mumbled and stood. Milly gave her a sad smile. "Really I'm good. I'm just going to get a snack." Cagalli said with a fake smile and left.
"I can't wait to see mother again." Yzak said smiling sitting back in his chair. Cagalli just entered and Yzak realized his mistake. 'Now she thinks I'm a momma's boy.' Yzak thought sweating. Yet Cagalli said nothing. She looked deep in thought. Nicol who was also sitting in there smiled when he saw her. Athrun was in there too. "Well Mr. Zala gets to meet his finance' again." Yzak mocked after he was out of the danger zone. Cagalli was shocked. Her cup of water that she grabbed just dropped on the floor. Water spilled everywhere.
The boys turned to her with surprise. "Ha sorry, I'm a klutz." Cagalli mumbled and bent over to whipped it up with a paper towel. The others shrugged it off. Athrun watched her cleaning and couldn't help but stare at her intense eyes, fixed on cleaning.
Cagalli threw away the paper towel and turned to go back to her room. "I need some sleep." Cagalli commented. Athrun only nodded and she left.
"Hey Cagalli done snacking, it didn't take long." Milly said as she entered the room, a laptop on Milly's lap. "What are you doing?" Cagalli asked sitting on her bed. "I found out my boy friend is on the ship we where chasing." Milly said with a sad sigh. "Oh really, so you want to get back. I understand." Cagalli said leaning on Milly's back. The two girls were leaning on each other. Cagalli's head dropped down because she fell asleep. "Oh Cagalli, what to do?" Milly asked softly.
"We try to live." Cagalli mumbled half asleep half awake. Milly smiled and chuckled at the girl. A knock was heard at the door. "Can I come in?" Athrun's voice called. "Yeah Athrun, come on." Milly called not moving because she didn't want to move Cagalli.
"Oh she's asleep." Athrun commented looking at Cagalli's face. Milly only nodded. "I know where the archangel is." Milly said in a serious tone. Athrun gasped a bit. "I know about Kira, he was . . . A close friend of mine as well. There on Earth." Milly said. Athrun looked at her funny. "Don't worry. Fight on." Cagalli mumbled turning and falling from the bed. Athrun caught her as she landed with her face buried in his chest.
Milly smiled at Athrun's blush. "Come on Cagalli, dear." Milly said pulling Cagalli up on the bed. "Cagalli will be going to a meeting with the commander. I don't know how she would be of any help though." Milly said looking at Cagalli like a mother would look at her daughter. Athrun nodded.
"Okay, Ms. Cagalli would you like to change?" Creusset asked. Cagalli nodded and changed into her old cloths, from when she first got caught. "Good bye Athrun." Creusset said saluting. Athrun saluted back and watched Cagalli get into a limo with the commander.
Athrun and Nicol had decided to visit Lacus. "Athrun! Nicol!" the pink haro yelled harpooning it self toward the two boys. "Oh my." Lacus said with a smile. "Lacus." Athrun said happily as she made her way down Athrun kissed her cheek. Nicol nodded. "Come. Lets have tea." Lacus urged. Nicol and Athrun nodded following her outside.
"Some you met a new friend. That is great." Lacus said happily pouring Athrun another cup of tea. Nicol was playing with the haros near the lake. "Yeah, she's at a meeting now though. I would have brought her if I could." Athrun said with a smile. Lacus could tell her grew attached to the girl. It was plain to see. "My father is also attending a meeting, shall we watch?" Lacus questioned holding up the remote to the outside TV. Athrun nodded. The TV screen flashed white and then showed an Image of the ZAFT seal.
"I am here to show you a precious diamond." Creusset said stepping forward. The council members looked at him funny. Athrun also watched with interest. Lacus on the other hand, held a troubled face. "I have a loop hole for power." the commander said. He forcefully pulled a hand cuffed Cagalli forward toward the center of the ring on members.
"T-That's Cagalli." Athrun said his eyes growing wide. Lacus's brows furred together. "I do not like this Athrun." Lacus said in a serious tone.
"I present to you all. The daughter of Uzumi Nara Attha! The princess of Orb, Cagalli Yula Attha!" Creusset said with a mad man smiled on his face. Athrun looked shocked. Lacus looked a bit shocked but also troubled. Nicol who moved closer dropped the haro he was holding. "C is Cagalli Yula Attha?" Nicol asked in disbelief.
Cagalli on the screen looked scared and not sure what to say or do. Athrun gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. He wished he could be there for Cagalli. "So are you Ms. Attha?" Patrick Zala, Athrun's dad asked. Cagalli stood proudly and stared at the man.
"I am Cagalli Yula Attha. And I am Orb's princess." Cagalli said sounding proud. Athrun was again shocked. She was actually the princess of Orb. "Athrun this isn't right." Lacus said. "I would like to say that I can fix things, but please wait. I can fix this." Lacus said standing holding onto his shoulder.
"Cagalli the princess of Orb. . .
