Hahaha! I'm back! Yay! Anyway, here in this part, well... you'll see! Cagalli and Athrun seem to be getting closer. AND IT'S ALMOST MY BIRTHDAY! Yay! sigh wish it was now. Well... go on, read the story! Still in Cagalli's POINT OF VIEW.

I just watch him gracefully fall to the ground. He looked helpless, and yet, he still had that smile on his face. I am getting annoyed with his smile already. I mean, he's wounded and there's a war and he still gets to smile…

I wanted to help him, so I went near him… slowly. But I suddenly froze. I thought about the war again. Why all of these groups? I mean… there's ZAFT… and there are the naturals… the ORB units.

He's from ZAFT and I'm an ORB member. I can't believe I fell in love with this guy in the first place. But there is this feeling inside my heart that I have to help him. All I had to do was to… to follow my heart.

So, I walked towards his body and tried to lift him up, but he was too heavy. So I looped his arm around me and I started dragging him towards where I left Kira. "Th-thanks Cagalli…" Athrun whispered, winking at me with a sweet yet hurt smile.

"Don't mention it. You saved me after all." I replied with an even sweeter smile. Using figurative language, you might say that we'd be swarming with ants already because of our sweetness. He closed his eyes and gave himself some rest.

A FEW MINUTES OF WALKING…

A few minutes of walking have past when I finally reached Kira. I just stared at him, hoping he wouldn't notice the person I'm helping right now. I carefully lay him down, hoping not to wake him up.

I looked at him, then I looked at his gunshot. It looked really… critical. "Get away from him, Cagalli Yula Attha!" Kira said, finally noticing that I've brought the enemy to our camp.

"But he's wounded!" I replied with a serious look on my face. "So? You should have just left him where you found him!" he argued. "I can't! He… he saved my life…" I said, looking down on my feet.

"Fine… then you owe him your life, right?" Kira said with emotion. "Yup. Until I pay my debt to him, he'd stay with us." I insisted. "WHAT? I'm not THAT crazy to let you be with that guy! Your bringing an enemy right at us! Don't you know what the others would tell us? They'd taunt us or something!" Kira exclaimed again.

"Why are you always arguing with me, Kira? Why don't you just accept the truth that you never wanted to be a part of this war! You never wanted to be a coordinator, the only person who could save this whole planet from destruction! You never expected you'd be that, wouldn't you?" I explained.

"Stop fighting, you two… it's… pointless… to fight in the middle of the war…" Athrun said, clutching his arm that had the gunshot. "Athrun! You're… alive. Well… at least we CAPTURED one of the enemy forces." Kira calmly said.

"What? This isn't nice, Kira. He saved my life!" I said. "Stop it you two! I'll join the ORB forces!" Athrun exclaimed before Kira could defend himself with words. "Y-you will?" Kira asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Yeah. I don't like this war anymore. And I've discovered that ZAFT is the rebellious group, not the naturals." Athrun said, smiling once more. "Wait, Athrun. Where is your Aegis gundam?" Kira suddenly asked, like he rapidly thought of an idea.

"Well… it's somewhere at the northeast of this area. How about your strike gundam, Kira?" he replied. "Umm… well… it's somewhere north of here." He said.

"Hey, why don't I have a gundam?" I asked. "Trust me, you'd destroy the whole universe with it." Athrun said with a laugh. "Hey, look, the ARCHANGEL!" I pointed out. Up at the sky, the archangel flew as graceful as an eagle, yet it looked as tough as gundanium alloy, the toughest metal in the entire universe, I think.

The archangel lowered until the door finally opened. "Get in, quick!" Miri said, smiling as she walked towards us. But then, her eyes spotted a wounded ZAFT pilot. "Aaaaaah! Get away from here… you… you… MURDERER!" Miri said, not thinking of her choice of words.

"That's too harsh, Miri, he's with us now." Kira explained, getting worried that Athrun might get hurt. "I'm sorry, Athrun Zala." Miri apologized. "That's fine. I get insults everyday at the ZAFT headquarters. When my members meet me at the hallway, they say, 'Hey, it's that idiot, Athrun Zala! Hey Athrun, how are you doing? How much chaos did you spread today?' All they do there is insult me." Athrun said, trying to make the others laugh.

We entered the archangel and went into our rooms. "Where will I sleep?" asked Athrun, now filled with bandages. "Good thing the Captain let you stay. I just can't be anything without you… huh? Oh, you could share a room with me… just don't do anything… well… idiotic that might get you kicked out of ORB! Anyway, our next destination is… France. Where my palace is." I explained.

"Your palace?" he wondered why I would have a palace in the middle of France. "Nothing… you'll know…" I said, winking at the curious lad. "Emergency! Enemies attacki- hey, what is HE doing here?" Cy said as he went running in the hallway.

"He joined ORB. Anyway, what's the emergency?" I asked, curious of his mysterious face. But before Cy could answer, there was a crash that was heard. "That must be it." Cy replied, running into his quarters.
