A/N: A fic in dedication of Christmas and New Year. Have fun reading!
Disclaimer: I won't be writing fics if I owned Gundam Seed/Destiny, I'd be making more sequels to the anime focusing on Athrun and Cagalli.
"Snowflake"
"Who was that on the phone, Dearka?" Miriallia asked as she walked in.
"Oh, it was Nicol" Dearka replied as he took a seat back on the couch.
"He's that guy from high school who became a priest, right?" Mir asked.
"C'mon, Mir, don't act as if you don't know him" Dearka replied playfully.
"Well, I just don't get how he turned into a priest!" Mir said sarcastically as she sat beside Dearka "I mean, he was part of Yzak's group before! That group was a group of bastards!"
"Hey! I was a part of that group!" Dearka whined.
"I know, and that's how you experienced the tragic feeling of getting dumped!" Mir laughed "So, why did he call?"
"Nicol an his FEELINGS again" Dearka sighed "He wants us to look for a Yuufa Seyman and a Mia Campbell"
"I know Yuufa!" Mir said.
"Really! Great then!" Dearka smiled.
"No, not great!" Mir interrupted "Yuufa Seyman is Yuuna Roma Seyman's a younger adopted sister! Some kind of friend you are to Cagalli! Yuuna is her ex-boyfriend! Why the hell would goody-good-good priest Nicol want her!"
"I don't know! But Nicol was a friend of the Zala's and the Athha's, I'm sure he has a good reason to do so!" Dearka replied "So, why don't we just do it?"
"Fine, but only because you said so! If anything bad happens to Cagalli say bye-bye to our relationship!" Mir joked.
"I promise!" Dearka said seriously for once.
"Good!" Mir smiled "So, how do we find those two girls?"
"He said they were in the Seyman residence" Dearka replied.
"But we aren't allowed near the Seyman residence!" Mir exclaimed "You know that Yuuna doesn't want us in his property! Since that very funny day when Cagalli broke up with him!"
"Well, that's why we have a reporter like you!" Dearka grinned.
"NO! NO! NO!" Mir replied "I wont do it! It's too open! It's too against the laws!"
"You said you'd participate" Dearka smiled.
"Crud…" Mir murmured.
"That's right!" Dearka smiled "You start PLAN #1 tomorrow, honey!" Dearka joked.
Meanwhile, Athrun and Cagalli were in his home office at his home.
"Don't you have any other files, Athrun?" Cagalli asked "I mean, what's the connection?"
Athrun looked at her confusedly an arched his eye brow.
"Your father having all these papers of Stellar! It… It doesn't fit in!" Cagalli replied.
"That's why we are looking into this, Cagalli, we might fin something more than what we had expected to find" Athrun explained calmly.
Cagalli nodded as she turned to another page as she turned the page, she saw a note. She picked it up and showed it to Athrun.
"What's this?" Cagalli asked.
Cagalli handed the paper to Athrun.
"It's someone's phone number" Athrun answered.
"Well, call it then! Whoever owns it must have some connection to whatever hell we're facing right now" Cagalli ordered.
So Athrun dialed the number on his telephone and waited until someone picked up.
"Hello, this is Murrue Ramius speaking" Murrue said as she picked her phone up.
"Ms. Murrue!" Athrun exclaimed.
"Oh, hello there, Mr. Zala!" Murrue greeted "What can I do for you today?"
Cagalli snatched the phone from Athrun "Ms. Murrue, may I ask, how long have you known Stellar and I?"
"Well, ever since before the both of you were born, deary" Murrue replied "My father was a very close friend to Mr. Uzumi. Why do you ask, dear?"
"Well, because we got this contract that Stellar is adopted" Cagalli replied.
"…" Murrue remained silent.
"Ms. Murrue, you know something don't you?" Cagalli asked seriously.
"Um, where are you right now, Cagalli?" Murrue asked seriously.
"At the Zala's, why?" Cagalli asked but Murrue had hung up already.
"That was weird…" Cagalli murmured.
"Why?" Athrun asked.
"Nothing…" Cagalli replied sadly.
Meanwhile, at Dearka's house…
"Hey, wait a minute, what was the name of that other girl we were supposed to be looking for?" Dearka asked Mir.
"Who? Mia Campbell?" Mir replied.
"I knew her name sounded so familiar!" Dearka exclaimed "Her uncle was close with my dad, her dad was part of the secret whatcha call it group in the military! So, that could also mean that Mia is one!"
"I don't follow" Mir replied.
"I had saw her once before!" Dearka replied "She looks like Cagalli's cousin's wife, Lacus! But, she was an undercover girl thing!"
Then Dearka called Rey Za Burrel.
"Talk to me" Rey said as he picked the phone up "Yo, Dark, what's up?"
"Does the name Mia Campbell ring a bell?" Dearka asked.
"Yeah, she's Athrun ex-girlfriend, why?" Rey asked "She was a slut in one of those bars. What are you into her now?"
"NO! It's just that I don't believe what the hell you're saying!" Dearka replied "Mia? A slut! That's impossible! She's a daughter of a very important military guy!"
"I know that, Dearka." Rey said "But hey, she was! Well, I think she was!"
"What do you mean?" Dearka asked.
"She became a full time stripper after Athrun broke up with her, but well, I really didn't get the details but I heard my cousin talking on the phone" Rey whispered "That Mia's dad was furious with Mia that he threatened her that if she continued to be a slut, then he would kill Athrun. She obeyed her father's orders an listened to what her father told her and became one of the best military secret agents kinda thing"
"Okay, thanks! BYE!" Dearka said before hanging up.
"So?" Mir asked.
"Nothing fits in…" Dearka murmured.
A while later, Cagalli received a phone call from Yuuna…
"What do you want?" Cagalli asked sharply.
"Tomorrow you are going to the air port, we'll go to America tomorrow, I don't want any excuses!" Yuuna said as if he was worried "I know that Stellar's condition is no good."
"What?" Cagalli asked.
"I received word from the doctor that she is in no good condition" Yuuna replied "I was informed of the contract even before but I thought it wasn't going to happen, Cagalli, if Stellar dies, all your money will go away. Everything. Nothing will be left for you, Cagalli, I'm only looking for your safety."
"My reliable sources also say that there is this group of bandits or something that are going to assassinate you, they were people who aren't 'in tune' with your family. Cagalli, I'm getting you out of the country to protect you"
"Whatever the shit you're blabbing about Yuuna doesn't work with me!" Cagalli yelled.
"Look, Cagalli, I know that you've got every right to be mad or angry with me but please, Cagalli!" Yuuna said begging-ly "Listen, I just want you to be safe. Seeing you hurt makes me hurt too. I'm sorry! I'm sorry for the load of crap I had done to you for all these years! Please, Cagalli, I just wanna protect you"
There was a long pause before Cagalli replied.
"Well, Cagalli…?" Yuuna asked.
"F-Fine, I-I'll think about it…" Cagalli replied and then she hung up.
"Athrun…" Cagalli whispered sadly.
"What?" Athrun quickly went to her side and comforted her "What did he say this time? What'd he do to you now?"
"I… I have to go…" Cagalli said sadly "I'm leaving tomorrow with… with Yuuna… I know he lied… But I don't know for what purpose… I'm not even sure what he might do if I wouldn't go… All I know is that he lied and if I don't obey him, he'd do something really bad that I would regret"
"But… Cagalli…" Athrun whispered but Cagalli cut him off.
"I'm sorry, Athrun… But… I have to go…" Then Cagalli ran out of is house and ran to hers.
"Cagalli… I know that he'd hurt one of us if you won't go, but if you are going, you're still hurting Stellar and Shin would be hurting seeing that Stellar is" Athrun thought sadly "But I'd be hurting the most, more than the hurt you would feel if you're with that bastard. I don't be able to live without seeing you, hearing your laugh, seeing you smile, hearing your voice. I really need you beside me, Cagalli"
