"Ah Kira good, you've arrived" The king of heaven spoke as his son lightly entered his office.
"You wanted to see me father?" Kira asked
"Yes, I have some wonderful news to inform you of" The king said
"What's that?" Kira told asked wondering what wonderful news he could possible have with Cagalli being kidnapped.
"Your sister has been returned to us" The king informed his son
"What Cagalli?" she Kira asked shocked and headed towards the door to go see her.
"Kira wait, before you go barging into your sisters room there is more that I must tell you" The king said stoping kira
"Yes but tell me how was she returned to us" Kira asked facing his father again
"By the hell prince" The king informed him
"The hell price?" Kira repeated
"Yes that's right, he protected her the whole time she was there and returned her to us" The king explained
"But wouldn't he now be considered a traitor to his father?" Kira asked
"Yes which is why he will be staying with us" The king informed him
"Yes but I just don't understand why he would do this" Kira asked confused
"it seems they are both fond of each other" The king informed him
"but hes a hell fairy aren't they all supposed to hate us?" Kira asked
"Cagalli has told me that he is different from the other hell fairies, I don't know what she means by it exactly but I to have noticed he is different from the other hell fairies" The king told kira
"I see" Kira whispered
"But Kira I'm afraid there is also some bad news, I'm afraid they know our secret to get through our barier" The king informed him
"No, that's not good what are we going to do?" Kira asked worried
"unfortunately we must prepare for war I'm afraid, I'd also like it if you would command one of the sections"
"Yes father" Kira replied
"You may go see Cagalli and lacus to let them know what's happening and I'd like you to report back here so we can prepare the army" The king told him
"Very well" and Kira left his fathers office to go see Cagalli.
"Cagalli?" Kira knocked on her bed room door
After about five seconds the door swung open reveling Cagalli.
"I'm so glad to see your safe" Kira said hugging Cagalli
"Who is this guy? And why is he hugging Cagalli?" Athrun though looking confused and not to happy.
"K..K…ira…I can't breath" Cagalli tried to Speak
"oh sorry" Kira said releasing Cagalli and then shifting his eyes to the figure standing a few feet behind Cagalli.
"Oh Kira this is Athrun, Athrun Zala he is the hell prince" Cagalli told kira
"So you're the one my father was talking about" Kira said
"Athrun, this is my brother-" Cagalli began
"Kira Yamato" Kira finished shaking his hand which made Athrun calm down hearing he was her brother.
"It's nice to meet you Kira" Athrun spoke
"It's nice to meet you two Athrun" Kira replied
"So Kira was there something you wanted to talk about" Cagalli asked shutting the door once he was inside the room.
"A matter of fact yes, I just wanted to let you know that I will be fighting in this war" Kira informed her
"What, why?" Cagalli asked shocked
"Father wants me to command one of the sections in battle" Kira informed her
"What no" Cagalli yelled turning to leave to go see her father but Kira grabbed her wrist to make her look at him.
"Cagalli I want to fight, I want to protect you and our home and everyone" Kira told her
"But Kira, I don't want to lose you" Cagalli told him
"You wont I promises, I have to go see lacus now" Kira told her
"Yes of course" Cagalli replied looking depressed and sat down on the edge of her bed.
Kira then left to go and find lacus while Athrun sat down beside Cagalli on her bed.
"It will be ok" Athrun said pulling Cagalli into and embrace.

"Lacus?" Kira knocked on the door
"Why hello Kira" She greated him
"I have some good news and bad news Lacus" He told her
"What is it?" Lacus Asked
"Well the good news is that Cagalli has been retuned to us" Kira informed her
"Oh how wonderful" Lacus replied
"But the bad news is that the hell fairies now know our secret and so I must prepare for war" Kira informed her
"Oh Kira pleas don't go, I don't want to lose you I wouldn't be able to bear it" Lacuse said hugging him
"Lacus please don't say such things, I'll do my best to come back to you"
"I'm sorry Lacus" and kira kissed her passionately.

"Father?" Cagalli knocked on the door
"Come in" Her father replied from behind the door
"Father why is Kira fighting and not me?" Cagalli demanded to know walking over to her fathers desk and placing her hands on either side of the desk.
"I am not forcing Kira to fight he wants to protect you and everyone in fairy heaven" he told her
"But why did you not ask me to fight?" Cagalli asked
"Because I need someone to take over my position if neither me nor Kira return" The king informed her
"But father-" Cagalli began
"No Cagalli" Athrun he silenced her
