Threatening

"ATHRUN!" Cagalli shouted as she held her ORB shirt tightly against her to cover the front of her body. She was changing out of those cloths into more comfortable ones when Athrun kicked his way in.

"What do you think you're doing?" Cagalli shouted. Athrun had already turned his back on her so that he wasn't staring. He didn't think she would be changing now. He thought that…he thought that…ok he wasn't thinking at all when he barged in but he didn't expect her to be changing. His fear for her just took control. 'Mental note, always knock before opening a door.'

"I…um just thought that you where…ah um in danger." Athrun was blushing a deep shade of red at that moment. Sure he saw Cagalli when she wasn't really wearing much but that was only because clothes were soaked and they were on that island alone.

"Um…I think you should put a shirt on." Athrun was keeping as calm as he could but his heart was beating as fast as the speed of light. A few minutes passed them with no movements.

"Well, shouldn't you go and close the door before I get another shirt on?" Cagalli was waiting for him to leave.

"I'm just going to stand here. I promise I won't peek." Athrun said. His embarrassment voice stopped and from what Cagalli could tell there was deviousness in his new voice.

"Like hell you won't. Get out!" Cagalli shouted to Athrun but he didn't move.

"Just get a shirt on Cagalli. I can't…urg I can't talk to you when I know you're only half dressed and so close." Athrun's voice turned into more of a furious one. His patience was running low. He wouldn't be able to keep his body from losing control knowing that Cagalli wasn't more than eight feet away from him. His hands clenched into fist as he tried not to think how she must look right now.

Cagalli still holding her shirt close to her chest and walked over to her draw were she took out a plane beige shirt and quickly put in on. She decided to not change her pants yet still seeing Athrun by the door not peeking as he promised. She walked over to Athrun and touched his arm when she noticed that blood was seeping through his shirt near the ribcage.

"Athrun you're…" Before Cagalli could finish her sentence Athrun walked passed her. She was confused until she saw where he was going. On the top of her closet was a small camera. Athrun jumped up, grabbed it and broke by clenching it in his fist. He then threw it into the garbage can.

"A camera? Why was that there?" Cagalli walked over to Athrun seeing him not letting go of clenching his fists.

"They were watching us. I wouldn't be surprised if their were more."

"Who would put them up?"

"One guess."

"Yuuna? He's to idiotic to think of something like this. He was in here though. That bastard."

"You're probably right about him being to dumb to think of doing this. We better go see if there are anymore hidden."

"Wait. You're hurt. Let's get it cleaned and bandaged first." Cagalli moved her hand over the wound. It probably would leave a scar like the other wounds he had gotten from being near her. "I'm sorry."

Athrun's eyes softened as he took hold of Cagalli's hand that was tracing the wound. "It's not your fault." He kissed Cagalli's hand and they walked down the stairs to the kitchen. Athrun went in first to check it out and see if there was a camera and there was. He walked in, grabbed it and like before destroyed it then threw it into the trash can.

"I got rid of the one in here. This room feels safe to me." Athrun said as he walked over to a cabinet where all of the first aid and medicines were. He grabbed some antibiotics and a long strip of cloth to wrap around his chest. He also grabbed some cotton.

Cagalli walked over to a small round table and waited for Athrun to walk over. He but the objects from his hand onto the table as Cagalli took some cotton. She put some antibiotics onto it and started to gently apply it onto his wound to clean off all the blood. Athrun's face showed he felt some pain as he winced.

"Sorry." When Cagalli finished cleaning the wound, she wrapped the white cloth around his chest. Once they were done they both walked around the mansion destroying all of the cameras they could find.

"How did you get shot?" Cagalli asked. Athrun had insisted that they both stay together and in her room instead of his.

"A trap. I opened my room's door when a gun fired. I barely got out of the way in time. A camera was next to the gun." Athrun said. "Your room is safe since if it was Yuuna who sent those cameras and that trap for me then there wouldn't be anything of that sort of danger in your room. He's too idiotically into you that he wouldn't do anything to mess you up."

They were sitting in her bed. Athrun had gone into his room really quick before and took his sleep cloths out. He changed when Cagalli looked the other way. He did the same for Cagalli when she changed her pants.

Athrun moved to were a chair was near the bed and fall asleep on that so that Cagalli could have the bed.

"Athrun, wouldn't it be more comfortable if you slept on the bed?" Cagalli asked as she crawled under the covers.

Athrun was too tired to tell her that if he did he might have thoughts that he knew he shouldn't be having, especially in their current situation. He moved out of the chair and moved under the covers next to Cagalli. Without Cagalli knowing it and before she could do anything, Athrun extended his arm and pulled Cagalli close to him. Her back was against his chest as Athrun bent his head down to kiss her hair. He rested his cheek against her head.

Athrun knew that this was the closest he could get to Cagalli without it causing trouble for her. This was the closest for know at least. He planned to get even closer after he knew the PLANTS and ORB were not so tense around each other.

Cagalli didn't pull away; instead she turned and wrapped her arms around his neck. Then she nuzzled against his chest. She knew that if a maid or anyone were to find them like this would mean trouble, but at this moment she didn't care.

"Damn that Zala. The bullet was so close yet it still missed. I had the guy to launch when the door first opens but it was too slow. Damn him. Once he's gone the PLANTS can blame ORB for the death of the previous Chairman's son."

"Calm down! Do whatever you want to Zala but don't you dare try that stunt on Ms. Athha. Got it."

"Fine."

A/N: I know this chapter was shorter then the last but I wanted to leave it with this last part. I need just a little help. I'm not sure on how far I want their relationship to go so I'll let you decide on it. Just a quick sentence or so on how far. I mean like as in a friendship sort a way or like the far higher level sort of way. I am still keeping the T-rating for now unless the votes make it different higher.

1. They keep to a playful relationship like how it is now.
2. They go into a holding hands and some kissing relationship
3. They take it to the next level and stuff like that. I'll warn in the beginning where is will be and if I posted it since I probably will not post it and send it to those who are old enough and want to read it.

Special thanks to all of you:
