Chapter 04: Where is Cagalli?

Like every morning prince Kira went into Cagalli's room to wake her up only to find that she wasn't there or anywhere to be found. He exited his sister's room and ran to his father's office the king of heaven.

"Father!" He shouted entering his father's office

"Kira please lower your voice" the king told him

"Sorry father" he replied in a lower voice

"Now what is it?" the king asked

"Have you see Cagalli?" Kira asked

"No Kira I haven't, why?" the king asked

"Because I can't find her anywhere" Kira told him

"What, alert everyone in the place have them search for her" he told Kira now wide eyed.

"Yes father" and Kira ran out of his father's office.

Kira alerted everyone and returned to his sisters room "where are you Cagalli" he whispered but then noticed something unusual, a side table near the balcony was tipped over on its side he also noticed that the doors that led to the balcony were open "is it possible that Cagalli has been-" his thoughts were interrupted when the king of heaven entered the room.

"Kira, what are you doing in here?" he asked his son

"Just looking around father, but I think Cagalli may have been kidnapped" Kira told him

"Yes this has been confirmed, by a servant that saw three hell fairies enter the palace but was to afraid to stop them" he informed his son

"so is that why you came in here father?" Kira asked

"Yes" he replied looking around

"Well we have to go and rescue her" he told his father

"No Kira if we try and go in there we will be killed, and they will learn of our weakness and come and attack us" he informed Kira

"Then what do we do?" Kira asked

"All we can do is hope that she is alright" The king said placing a hand on kira's shoulder and exiting the room.

"Cagalli please forgive me, I should have protected you" Kira thought to himself and he left his sisters room to go and find lacus and tell her what has happened. She had stayed at the palace that night because it was rather late to go home when her and Kira and realized what time it was.

He found lacus in one of the kitchens eating her breakfast she saw him enter and greeted him from where she was sitting.

"Good morning Kira"

"Lacus…" he tried to tell her

"What's wrong Kira" Lacus asked noticing the depressed look on his face.

"Lacus…Cagalli's b-been kidnapped" He told her with tears in his eyes

"What!" she said in shock dropping her spoon she was holding in her bowl

She got up from her seat and walked over to him clearing her throat to speak

"D-does your father know about this?" Lacus asked

"Yes, he knows" Kira replied

"Did he say what he intends to do about this" She asked

"He said there's nothing we can do, if we try and go in we will be killed, and they will learn of our weakness and come and attack us" he informed her

"Oh Kira this must be hard for you" Lacus said embracing him

"I should have protected her lacus" Kira whispered in her ear

"Kira this is not your fault, you couldn't have prevented this" Lacus told him now facing him

"But lacus-" Kira began but lacus placed one of her fingers to his lips to silence him

"Cagalli is a strong girl, she will be alright" Lacus assured him but inside she to had doubts about her safety

"Thank-you Lacus" Kira whispered before his lips met hers

"I will pray for her safety" she told him when the parted from there kiss and Kira smiled at her.

Kira pulled lacus into an embrace and wrapped his arms around her "please be alright Cagalli" he thought to himself.
