A/N: A fic in dedication of Christmas and New Year. Have fun reading! Even if the dead line has already past…

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"

It was the day of Cagalli's nightmare. Yes, it was the day she was to leave ORB for America. That doesn't sound too disappointing, right? Well, the worst as yet to come, she was force to go to America with a devil er… I meant Yuuna Roma Seyman.

Aside from that, she had to leave her sister and her soon-to-be brother-in-law. And of course, she had to leave him behind. Him as in the guy who could relate to her, as in the guy who she fell for in just a few days, as in Athrun Zala!

Her feelings for him just sprouted out this ugly dawn, it became clear to her already but she knew it was too late, or was it?

Well, it was late. She had packed her things and wasn't ready to go and leave ORB. At least, not with Yuuna.

"Why couldn't it have been the real devil instead of Yuuna!" Cagalli yelled angrily in her mind "It would be better if the real devil took me to America or even to hell… Just not Yuuna!"

Suddenly, a strange white light appeared in front of her.

"What the!" Cagalli exclaimed as she backed away from the light.

From within the light, there was a group of what you might call souls. It was a group of adults.

"Cagalli…" A woman spoke gently "Don't be afraid…"

"Who the hell are you!" Cagalli yelled.

"Cagalli, try to look closer" the woman replied "It is I, your mother"

"M-mom…?" Cagalli stuttered "Y-You're… You're here!"

"I'm not the only one, my child…" Via smiled "You're father is here as well"

Cagalli looked up and saw her father, she cried on her spot.

"Stop crying, my child…" Via said "I don't want to see you cry, Cagalli"

Cagalli nodded and wiped her tears away but it wouldn't stop, then a man spoke up.

"Via, Uzumi, we don't have much time anymore…" The man said.

"Time for what?" Cagalli asked.

"Cagalli, we came here to tell you the truth." Another woman said "But you have to listen carefully since we don't have much time…"

"Who… Who are you?" Cagalli asked.

"I am Lenore Zala, Athrun and Shin's mother" Lenore smiled "We all will tell you about the truth of Stellar and Yuufa."

Cagalli nodded.

"I am Yuufa's mother, Fumiko" Fumiko said "Yuufa's real name is Ruby. My husband, Masakazu, is also Stellar's father. Masakazu had an affair with Stellar's real mother behind my back, Cagalli."

"Which means, Stellar isn't really my sister!" Cagalli said.

"She is your sister, Cagalli" Via said as she sat beside Cagalli "She isn't your blood related sister, but you are sisters. And nothing is going to change, right my daughter? You grew up to treat each other as sisters and nothing will stop that."

Cagalli nodded and looked at Fumiko "So, Stellar and Yuufa are half sisters, but how did Yuufa end up with the Seyman's?"

"I found Yuufa stealing food from my child, I gave pity and brought her home" a woman said "I'm Yuuna's mother. I raised Yuufa as if she was my own child, but I had no idea that Yuuna had hurt Yuufa countless of times ever since before. Yuuna was jealous of Yuufa, I guess."

"This is my entire fault, Cagalli, I'm sorry you got involved." Mrs. Seyman continued "She never came up to me and told about that. After I passed away, she lived under Yuuna and Utona. That's where my teachings were erased from her. She followed every single 'deed' those two told her to do, Yuufa became a bad girl under their influence… But I know that somewhere in her lies the Yuufa that Fumiko and I raised."

"Cagalli, Shin at the moment wont be able to protect Stellar and—" Fumiko tried to say but the light of the sun had hit her. She began to disappear.

"Wait!" Cagali yelled.

"Cagalli, be brave my child." Via kissed Cagalli on the cheek and disappeared.

"Cagalli, please… stop Yuuna…" Mrs. Seyman whispered "Please…"

"Be brave, Cagalli" Uzumi said "You can still stop this, my daughter"

"Father…" Cagalli cried as she saw her father disappear.

"I… I don't know how to stop Yuuna…" Cagalli cried "If I try to do something ba to him he'll hurt Stellar or Shin or worse, he'll hurt Athrun!"

"Help me, father!" Cagali cried.

Meanwhile, Miriallia and Dearka was hiding behind a bush across the Seyman mansion. Mir had her camera along with her just to make sure to get a few pictures of evidence that Yuuna is an evil friggin' bastard.

Dearka tried to talk Miriallia to bring a gun with her but Mir threatened him so he was the one bringing a gun. You know, better safe than sorry.

Mir actually talked Dearka on bringing those big video cams as if they were partners in show business.

"Oh! There! The devil is moving out of hell!" Dearka joked.

"Shut up, Dearka, this is seriously not the time for jokes!" Mir scolded "I got a message from Murrue that Cagalli's leaving with Yuuna for America that's why we have to hurry so that we still have time to stop them! And Murrue also informed me about Yuufa and Stellar's relationship and so on and so forth!"

"Okay! Okay!" Dearka said.

"Good! He's gone! It's time to break in!" Mir said and ran to the gate.

"Hey, wait!" Dearka said and quickly ran after Mir.

Mir rang the door bell once and a maid went to the gate.

"Hi!" Mir smiled "I'm Megumi Toyoguchi and this is my partner, Akira Sasanuma. And we're from the Sunrise Magazine Company. The next issue is about fabulous mansions in ORB, and our company sent us to take a short stroll around this lovely expensive mansion for the magazine."

"Mr. Seyman isn't here" The maid replied coldly.

"But it's only a quick stroll, our boss would have a fit if we wont be able to take a few pictures around the BEST mansion in the city! I mean, we all won't get any raise on our salaries!" Mir lied sarcastically "If we have a few pictures of the mansion, I'm sure the next issue would be a blast! And I'm sure our boss would pay Mr. Seyman a great sum of money and thus making your salary pays higher! Both of us could benefit perfectly! So what do say?"

"I suppose I could, but only for a few minutes" the maid replied.

"That's fine by us!" Mir smiled as the maid opened the gate for them.

"Um, would you mind holing my camera for a while? My partner's hands are full an I have to tie my shoe laces" Mir lied, she wasn't wearing shoes that needed laces.

"Um, okay" the maid said as she held Mir's camera.

"Um, would you kindly press that red button over there so that it's turned off?" Mir asked as she bended down.

The maid pressed the red button and the camera flashed brightly. She was blinded by the light and accidentally let go of the camera, Mir caught her camera while the maid rubbed her eyes.

"I… I can't see!" the maid complained as Mir and Dearka entered the house.

"Uh… GUARDS! There are intruders in the house!" The maid yelled.

Soon, lots of guard went in the house and chased Mir and Dearka.

Dearka and Mir in a room and locked the doors.

"What do we do now?" Dearka asked "This wasn't part of the plan!"

"Shush, I've got an idea!" Mir smirked.

Meanwhile, Yuuna was driving to the Athha mansion…

"Look, I want a group of you to go to that hospital and kill Stellar and whoever is along with her!" Yuuna yelled on the phone.

"I don't care how much people you have to shoot, just do it!" Yuuna continued yelling.

"Uh, y-yes sir… Sorry, sir" The man on the phone replied.

Then Yuuna hung up and smirked.

"Then, by the time Cagalli and I reach America, she'd be informed by Stellar's death and the money will all go to me!" Yuuna laughed evilly "This is just too easy!"

The guards ran around the Seyman mansion, checked every room and finally! They heard Dearka and Mir talking on one of the rooms. They all barge in the room and only found the big video cam playing Dearka and Mir's voices.

The guards split into groups and searched the whole house again.

Meanwhile, Mir and Dearka reached the small library. They walked in silently and Dearka accidentally tripped and hit a book case. He accidentally pulled a red book that caused the floor under them to open, he fell in painfully and was covered with dirt.

While Mir jumped in the whole and landed dirt-free and pain-free on the floor. Then the opening closed.

"Where the hell are we?" Dearka asked as he removed the dust from his hair.

"I don't know but I have a feeling this is the place" Mir replied and walked forward.

Dearka followed her, only their footsteps are to be heard.

Mir stopped when she heard two voices.

"Damn that Yuuna!" Yuufa muttered "URGH! Hey, Mia! Help me get out of this damn thing!"

Mia sighed and tried to reach something from her hair. And soon, she was free from the ropes.

"Get me out next!" Yuufa commanded.

"I'm sorry, Yuufa" Mia said as she got a gun and pointed it at Yuufa.

"Wha! Hey, don't shoot me!" Yuufa pleaded.

"Wait! Mia! Don't shoot her!" Mir yelled from the other side of the jail bars.

"It was only a threat I'm not seriously gonna kill her! That would be mean!" Mia whined.

"Oh, and what's with all this drama then?" Dearka asked.

"Elsman!" Mia exclaimed "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Doing a favor" Dearka replied "Both of you gotta get out of there now! The guards are still looking for us!"

"I don't know how to pick a lock!" Mia whined.

"And you call yourself a soldier!" Mir exclaimed.

"I know!" Yuufa said "But you've gotta get me out of these ropes!"

"Sure!" Then Mia cut the ropes and Yuufa picked the lock on the cell.

"Okay, how do we get out of here?" Dearka asked.

"I know where, there's an opening there leading to the sewer. It leads a few blocks away from the house" Mia said.

"We've got no choice then, the guards might be able to catch up—" Mir was cut off when one of the guards yelled at them and began shooting "Correction, they have already caught up to us! We have to RRRRUUUUNNNN!"

Then the group ran with Mia leading them. Mia threw a small haro like ball at wall in front of them causing a big explosion and lots of smoke and of course a hole on the floor.

Mia jumped in then followed by Mir and Yuufa and lastly Dearka. They continued to run.

Yuuna had already reached the Athha mansion and was waiting for Cagalli in the living room.

Myrna knocked on Cagalli's door three times and went in.

"Cagalli, Yuuna is here" Myrna informed in a sad tone of voice.

Cagalli quietly stood up and grabbed her bag but it fell as she started to walk to the door. Cagalli just stared at it with a blank expression as if it was new to her. Myrna grabbed the bag and carried it for her.

"It's going to be alright, Cagalli" Myrna whispered on her ear "I'm sure you would be saved."

Cagalli didn't reply or smile, she just continued to walk with Myrna down the stairs to the living room.

Yuuna hugged Cagalli as she entered the living room.

"We better get going now, Cagalli" Yuuna smiled.

Cagalli nodded weakly and walked out of the door following Yuuna. Myrna followed behind carrying the bag.

Myrna waved them good bye and as they were out of site, Myrna fell to her knees crying.

At the sewers…

"They should be off our backs for a while" Mia said as they ran.

"Where are we headed to now?" Dearka asked.

"We should hurry to the hospital!" Yuufa said worriedly "Yuuna is planning to assassinate Stellar so that he could get all her inheritance!"

"Then to the hospital it is then!" Mir said with determination.

"Up there! That's the last exit, the guards won't be able to know we escaped through there!" Mia informed.

Then they began to climb up and out of the sewer. When they were out…

"Let's take my car, it' be faster that way to reach the hospital" Dearka said as he pointed at his car.

"Anything as long as it's fast!" Yuufa replied.

Then they went in Dearka's car. Dearka drove as fast as he could to the hospital.

"I hope we make it in time…" Yuufa whispered.

"That damn Yuuna! He's gone too far this time!" Mir exclaimed.

Meanwhile, Athrun just arrived at the hospital to see how things were doing with Stellar and Shin.

As Athrun entered Room 307, he saw Murrue sitting on the couch provided.

"Ms. Murrue" Athrun called.

"Oh, hello, Athrun" Murrue smiled.

"What are you doing here?" Athrun asked.

"Just paying a visit, if you know what I mean" Murrue replied.

"Stellar has been doing fine even with the past events, nothing to actually worry about. Shin is learning to believe that he still has a chance to walk again" Murrue informed "Other than that, nothing happened"

"That's good" Athrun said as he sat down beside Murrue.

"Nothing happened in this room but out of this building lots have happened, I'm sure of it" Murrue said "Has Cagalli left already?"

"I'm not sure" Athrun replied.

"Then go after her, Athrun" Murrue said "If you love her then go after her"

"I do love her but then, maybe I would just endanger her more" Athrun said sadly.

"You're not sure of that" Murrue replied "You shouldn't give up on love, Athrun"

"I think it's best if you were to go the airport an stop her" Murrue said.

"We—" Athrun was cut off when a group of masked men crashed through the window.

Stellar and Shin woke up because of the crash. Stellar squealed as she saw a gun pointed at her.

"Stellar!" Shin yelled "You filthy bastards!"

"Dirt talk wont get you anywhere, boy!" one of the men shot without aim at Shin.

Luckily, it only hit the bed causing Shin to fall to the floor.

"Shin!" Stellar moved but was stopped when she felt a gun poking her head.

"No body move or else this bitch's gonna die!" the man threatened.

Inside Dearka's car…

"Hey, why is that window broken?" Dearka asked.

"Oh my God!" Mir exclaimed "That's room 307! That's Stellar and Shin's room! Dearka! Stop the bloody car!"

Dearka stepped on the brake thing and the car stopped, Yuufa ran out of the car and to the group of men.

AS she ran she saw the man that pointed his gun at Stellar.

"You filthy bastard! No one hurts my sister!" Yuufa thought angrily at her head.

Then she pounced on the man causing the man to let go of his gun.

"YUUFA?" They all chorused.

"Don't ever do that to my sister! I'm the only one who could hurt her got that buddy!" Yuufa yelled at the man as she punched the man hard on the back.

"Sister?" Shin and Stellar asked.

Athrun picked up the gun and Murrue got hers out.

"Everybody down!" Murrue commanded then both she and Athrun shot the remaining men down. But not killing them.

Reinforcements were called and the reinforcements entered through the window.

Mia got her gun and shot one of the men on the leg and so did Dearka. Mir ran to the entrance of the hospital to call the guards and the doctor and the nurses.

"Mia!" Athrun yelled.

"Why, it's a long time no see, Athrun sweetie!" Mia smiled.

Then Mir came in with the guards and doctor and nurses. The masked men were out numbered by the guards so they ran but the guards caught up to them.

"What the hell are you doing here!" Athrun asked Mia.

"I'm a secret agent of course!" Mia smiled "Look, I just wanted to ask if we could start over. Not like before but as friends?"

"Uh… Sure" Athrun and Mia shook hands.

"Good to see that old friends are one again" Murrue joked.

"Ah! Miss Murrue!" Mia squealed "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm never going to do it ever again! I'm never gonna call Athrun a sweetie ever again! Please on't tell daddy!" Mia kept on bowing apologetically.

"I wont" Murrue smiled.

"THANK YOU!" Mia hugged Murrue.

"Oh, yeah, Stellar," Murrue called.

Stellar looked at Murrue.

"Stellar, meet your younger sister, Yuufa" Murrue said "Yuufa, meet your older sister, Stellar"

"I know both of you met before but this time, it's as sisters not as enemies or strangers"

"Yuufa is my sister? So that means I'm really adopted by the Athha's?" Stellar asked.

"Yes, you are" Murrue replied.

"And I am adopted by the Seyman's" Yuufa continued "Our parents died when we were young. I'm not completely your sister, I'm only your half sister. I have a different mother than yours"

"LUNCH TIME!" the ever so perky nurse came in with a tray of food for Shin and Stellar.

"What's the time?" Athrun asked.

"It's twelve noon of course!" The nurse said in a seductive flirting voice to Athrun as she tried to cling herself on Athrun's arm.

"WHAT!" Athrun exclaimed "I'VE GOT TO GO!"

Then Athrun ran out of the room.

"tsk… tsk… tsk… He just leaves now?" Murrue whined "I hope he makes it in time"

"In time for what, Ms. Murrue?" Stellar asked.

"In time before the plane leaving for America would leave" Murrue replied.

"Why does Athrun need to go to America?" Shin asked.

"Because Cagalli and Yuuna are there at the airport, he's going to stop them" Mir answered Shin "I really hope he does make it in time"

"I hope he kicks Yuuna's shitty ass!" Dearka exclaimed.

They all laughed at Dearka's compliment.

Meanwhile, Athrun drove as fast as he could to the airport but was caught up by a traffic jam.
