Chapter 2
The First Day
Kira woke up, energetic, and excited. Kira thought so much about the pink haired girl, that he actually lost sleep just thinking of what to say o her when they meet, and the funny thing is, he didn't even know her name.
Kira came down to the kitchen where Cagalli was preparing a lunch for him.
"Cagalli, what are you doing?" Kira asked looking extremely confused
"I'm making your lunch, what does it look like" Cagalli said sarcastically. Kira just stood there and stared at her intensively.
"First of all, you've never made me a lunch the whole time I've known you, second of all we have a nanny, and third of all you never do anything nice for me" Kira said
Cagalli just starred at him and smiled
"Hey I always do nice things for you, you're just too blind to notice" she said.
"Huh…" Kira scratched his head
"It's just for today so don't get used to this…" Cagalli smiled.
"…Well truth is Kira, I just want you to be happy already, for the past year, you always seem like you're suffering, and your trying to hide it from everyone by putting on a carefree act, but I can clearly tell" Cagalli said as her eyes began to fill up with water.
Kira looked shocked, he didn't know what to say, it was as if someone had just discovered his deepest darkest secret.
"…is it obvious?" he asked.
"Yea…it is" Cagalli said softly
"Cagalli…don't worry I'll be fine" Kira said. Cagalli smiled at Kira and handed him his lunch
-----------------------------------------------
Cagalli walked Kira to the front door, it was kind of strange having Cagalli following him to the front door, Cagalli never gives Kira this much attention. Kira was starting to feel a little worried from the attention he was getting, it was really starting to creep him out a little.
"Ok I'm off" Kira said softly. Kira took a step and realized Athrun was missing
"Hey where's Athrun?" Kira said
"He always leaves for work at 6am" Cagalli said
"Oh I see, well that's ridiculously early" Kira chuckled. Kira waved at Cagalli as he started walking to his car. Almost as soon as Kira reached the end of the front porch Cagalli called out to him. "Kira, umm… about before I just wanted to say, if there's anything I can do, I'm here for you, after all we're family" Cagalli said smiling
Kira starred at her, a little embarrassed. "Stop treating me like a baby" Kira grinned.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Athrun was walking back and forth in his office thinking hard.
Finally, I'm going to get that little bitch ass tramp, Once I get Kira to get enough info on her to make her get sacked, I'll make sure she never works in this town again, and then I'll…
Athrun's thoughts were interrupted as Kira entered his office.
Athrun was shocked but at the same time had the biggest grin on his face. "Kira you made it, and on time too!" he said.
Kira started to laugh sarcastically "you know, I'm not always late, I don't know where you get the idea that I'm always late" he said. Athrun walked over to Kira.
"Kira remember how you used to be? You used to be late for everything till Cagalli started becoming your personal alarm clock" Athrun said.
Kira looked like he was about to make a come back, but then he just realized what Athrun just said was the truth, Kira just froze for a second, not knowing what to say next
"You know…I don't even remember how it started happening, a couple of months ago she started looking out for me a lot…do you know the reason why she's extremely nice to me?" Kira asked.
Athrun nodded. "Yeah I know, I was talking to Cagalli about this awhile ago. It's been 13 months since you both found out you were brother and sister. It's probably clicked in that she has an actual brother." Athrun said.
"That is true I have been noticing that she makes fun of me a lot more, and I do it right back" Kira started grinning.
"Umm…Athrun we've been talking for a while, what time do I have to be there?" Kira said looking a tad confused.
"Hey don't worry Kira, your forgetting I'm head of this entire department" Athrun said.
Athrun and Kira starred each other in the eyes and started to laugh uncontrollably
"Ha...it's….funny…because soon I'll be ahead of you" Kira continued to laugh hysterically. Athrun stopped and starred at Kira "I hate you" he said
"I know" Kira smiled.
"Alright Kira enough of this, I think it's time to start this…are you ready?" he asked.
"Athrun, I was born ready" Kira grinned.
"That's what I like to hear. Kira just one quick question before we head down there" Athrun asked.
"Alright, hit me" Kira replied
"You're objective?" Athrun asked.
"Get beautiful pink haired girl to like me, and try to gather enough info on ….Fllay to sac her" Kira said.
"Alright Kira lets head down there and do this" Athrun said with determination.
Finally I'll be able to see that girl from yesterday Kira started blushing just by the thought of her.
The marketing room was a large and wide type room with a bunch of different section, copy centre area, marketing floor, a coffee room where everyone hangs jackets and other materials, such as their own food, and the mangers Office, which is currently being used by Fllay Alstar.
Work had already been in session for about 25 minutes. "How come he isn't here yet, I was looking so forward to training the new employee…" Lacus said out loud to herself.
"Don't worry Lacus, I'm sure he'll be here soon…and soon he'll realized what hell is when he, or she meets Fllay" Miri said. Lacus started to giggle.
"Speaking of Fllay, where is she? I haven't seen her all mourning, and she's the one that supposed to make sure everyone's here on time, and make sure we're all doing our tasks"
Lacus said
"Lacus, why are you even looking around? You're usually deep into your work by now, what's up?" Miri asked a bit concerned.
"I know but, yesterday Fllay told me I was going to be training a new employee, so I guess she didn't put any work for me in my folder, or maybe she's just an idiot with no brain cells whatsoever" Lacus giggled.
"Amen to that!" Dearkka shouted
Miri giggled. "Wow Lacus, I don't think I've ever herd you talk like that" Miri said.
"What do you expect? Fllay has that type of negative influence on people" Dearkka said
Lacus, Miri, and Dearkka continue to trash talk Fllay silently
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fllay was in her office, watching the entrance door for Kira's arrival. Fllay decided to dress sexy for Kira; she was wearing a nice purple blouse with a black skirt that went down just above her knees, and she wore designer sandals. Fllay couldn't get over how good Kira looked in his picture posted in his profile. She wanted to win him over as soon as she could.
Fllay saw Athrun and Kira come off the elevator through the camera screen in her office. She quickly fixed her skirt and walked out.
Everyone in the department was just shocked at what Fllay was wearing. Some of the men in the department were drooling mentally at Fllay's slim beautiful legs. Everyone continued to stare. Fllay wasn't paying attention though, the only thing on her mind was trying to get to the entrance door before Athrun walked in with Kira.
Lacus and Miri were a little confused since Fllay has never dressed that appealing before.
"Wow" Dearkka said quietly, I defiantly could get used to this he said mentally.
As Athrun and Kira were walking near the entrance, Athrun could see Fllay approaching the entrance.
"Wow who's that?" Kira questioned. Athrun sighed… "that's Fllay" no matter what you wear, a bitch is always a bitch" Athrun thought bitterly.
Athrun quickly turned to Kira. "Make sure you come up to my office for lunch. I want to know the details" Athrun said.
Kira nodded. "Gotcha…so…that's Fllay…don't worry Athrun I can do it" Kira said smiling as Fllay approached the doors.
Athrun spoke first. "Fllay this is the employee I was telling you about, Kira Hibiki"
Fllay stared at Kira for a quick second, and held out her hand for a greeting, "So you're Kira, nice to meet you" Fllay smiled as she blushed. Kira noticed.
He's… a hundred times hotter then he looked in his picture! Fllay shouted mentally in her head.
Kira just starred. He was kind of shocked. He then gave Fllay a warm smile that almost made her heart melt. "It's nice to meet you too. Sorry I forgot you're name is…"
"It's Kira, Kira Ya…Hibiki" Kira slapped himself mentally. Fllay didn't seem suspicious at all.
"Sorry you are…?" Kira smiled. Fllay's heart felt like it had just melted. He's so cute! She screamed mentally.
Fllay spaced out into her own little world, she completely missed what Kira just asked. "I'm sorry, what did you say?" Fllay asked innocently while trying to withstand her blush from coming out full force.
"I asked you what your name is" Kira said sounding a bit annoyed. Fllay caught notice of Kira's tone but decided to ignore it.
"Fllay, Fllay Alstar, the current department manager of marketing" she replied.
Athrun wanted too shoot himself, he couldn't stand her the way she was dressed. Kira didn't seem to mind what she was wearing, but Athrun on the other hand was completely disgusted, the reason was probably because…he just can't stand that slut.
"Well, I guess we should get you started then, please follow me I'll show you to you're seat" Fllay began to walk, Kira and Athrun followed.
"Kira remember don't fall into her traps" Athrun whispered.
"Don't worry Athrun, I can handle this no sweat" he whispered back. They were finally visible to the entire marketing crew. Everyone there was starring at Kira including a certain pink haired girl.
Lacus' eyes widened as she saw Kira. That's the guy from yesterday!
Lacus tried to act profession and tried not to draw attention to the brown haired employee.
Kira, Athrun, and Fllay walked closer and closer till they reached Kira's appointed seat.
"Alright Fllay, thanks, but I'll take it from here, you can go continue on with you're work" Athrun said sincerely.
Fllay quickly responded "…ok, Kira, if there's anything you need please don't hesitate to ask me" she smiled. Athrun slapped himself mentally.
"Thank you" Kira smiled.
-------------------
As Fllay entered her office she shut the door and laid her back to the door.
He's………so cute I just want to… Fllay thought's made her turn blush massively.
-------------------
Everyone resumed their work. Athrun approached Lacus.
"Alright Kira, this is Lacus Clyne, she'll be the one assessing you on the basics." Athrun turned to Lacus. "Lacus this is Kira, I assume you knew about this, right?" Athrun asked.
"Yeah, I know" Lacus blushed slightly giving the most adorable smile. Kira's heart melted. …that has to be the cutest smile I've even seen! Kira said mentally.
"Alright, Lacus lets head down to the training room, gather you're stuff" Athrun said
"Ok" Lacus said. Lacus logged off her computer, grabbed her bag and jacket as she followed Athrun and Kira. Athrun began to go over with Kira about 'what makes a good employee, and what to expect when you're working here.' It was some sort of standard procedure.
Lacus who was walking behind them found it rather hard not to stare at Kira, she couldn't think straight, and she found it rather difficult to breath, it was the first time this has ever happened to her, she couldn't figure out what was wrong with her.
Most of the girls in the department were glaring at Lacus. They all wanted to be the one to train alone with Kira. Lacus didn't notice she just kept her head straight and stared at Kira some more.
------
As they moved down the elevator they soon reached a tiny little room located on floor 14 right below Athrun's office. It was a normal sized room with a high tech computer.
"Alright here we are, now Lacus make sure he knows how everything works" Athrun said.
"I know, I will" Lacus said.
"I'll leaven everything to you then. Good luck Kira" Athrun said before he started walking towards the exit of the door.
Lacus watched Athrun walk off until his figure was finally out of sight. Lacus then quickly turned her head towards Kira, and smiled.
"It's nice to meet you Kira" Lacus said blushing slightly. Lacus reached out and greeted Kira.
"It's nice to meet you too" Kira said retrieving his hand.
"I know it sounds a little strange but I've actually been looking foreword to meeting you" Lacus blushed.
Kira froze for a quick second and quickly responded. "Believe it or not I was actually thinking the same thing" Kira gave a light chuckle. Lacus couldn't help but blush a little
"Well, let's get started" Lacus said cheerfully
Wow she's really something, we've just spoken for the first time a moment ago, but I feel like I've known her before, what's this feeling I'm getting…Kira asked himself mentally.
Kira and Lacus took a seat at the computer. Lacus sat in the chair right in front of the computer. Kira sat beside her. The chair he was using was slightly behind her but not by much.
Lacus began teaching Kira about the new OS that's used for the department. However Kira already knew about this OS (Operating System) since he's the one that created it, back in his high school days. No one never really knew how he did it, but he constructed the newest most efficient OS to date, no one even came close to competing with his OS. His OS completely blew away the completion, it dominated the market.
Lacus slowly and carefully went through all the steps. She wanted to make sure he knew everything.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 hours later…
Kira decided to take advantage. Instead of telling Lacus about his knowledge of the OS, he used the time to do nothing but stare at her beautiful figure.
God…she's really something else. He thought to himself.
Looking at her figure from the bottom up he began to evaluate her in his mind.
Beautiful yet sexy at the same time, slim legs, beautiful hair, perfect chest size, love her blue eyes, the way she talks, her long pink hair? Didn't I already mention that?…Kira found himself thinking intensively about Lacus. After he realized what he was doing, Kira couldn't help but smile.
I haven't felt this way in a long time. He continued to watch Lacus as she talked endlessly.
After a few hours of teaching, Lacus got up, stretched her arms high in the air as she smiled at Kira. Kira finally snapped out of his trance looking a little confused, the training wasn't completed yet and Lacus looked like she was ready to leave.
"Kira, it's 12:15" Lacus said
"What's at 12:15?" Kira asked curiously
"Lunch time silly" Lacus said adorably. Kira started to blush furiously. The way Lacus said that made him feel more attractive to her then before.
"Come on I'll introduce you to my friends in the department" Lacus said.
"As much as I would like that, I was told to head to Athrun's office at lunch break… maybe next time…" Kira said, hitting himself mentally for missing a chance to get to know Lacus better.
"Oh I see…so I'll see you back here at 1:15" Lacus felt a little sad that she wasn't able to take the time to talk to Kira properly.
"Ok" Kira responded
As Kira and Lacus walked to the elevator they were finally able to chat properly for a short while.
"So…Athrun got you in here, there must be something really special about you, since no one here has ever gotten hired by Athrun" Lacus said.
"Really, well I'm not special I don't even know who told him about me…" Kira tried hard to come up with the best possible explanation. As the elevator came down Kira went inside "So I'll see you at 1:15 Kira said.
Lacus smiled "don't be late"
--------------------------------------------------
The doors shut and the elevator started moving up. Kira nearly fainted. Lacus was so incredibly beautiful. A thought crossed his mind. "I wonder if she has a boyfriend?" he said out loud.
But anyways what a rush! We didn't speak to each other properly till we got out of that room. Wow what a connection. Kira said to himself.
--------------------------------------------
Lacus got on the elevator going down
…he's so hot. And the way he was looking at me…I hope he's not taken. Lacus lost all senses and started blushing madly just by thinking what she wanted to do to Kira.
--------------------------
Lacus met with Miriallia. They immediately started heading towards the exit of the building.
"So Lacus what happen did you get all over him?" Miri teased.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Lacus blushed.
"Oh I forgot, you're not the type to take the advantage of a hotty when you're locked in a room with one…." Miri giggled.
"Anything strange happen?" Miri asked
Lacus looked at Miri and thought hard. "now that you mention it when I was explaining everything to him I noticed most of the time, that he was just starring at me, no…I knew he was starring, but when I purposely asked questions about what I just said, he would answer quickly without even thinking" Lacus said.
"Wow maybe he thinks you're hot Lacus" Miri giggled. Lacus just blushed at that remark.
------------
Kira reached Athrun's office. Athrun was slouched in his chair with his legs up on the desk. He was talking on the phone. He didn't noticed Kira come in.
"Working hard Athrun" Kira smiled, Athrun's head jerked up to the left.
"Kira just got here, I'll see you tonight ok, bye Cagalli" Athrun hung up the phone and faced Kira "so…how'd it go?" Athrun asked.
"Well…she taught me how to use the entire OS… but since I created the OS I took the time to stare at her for like 4 hours. I enjoyed every second of it. I love her voice, it's so soothing" Kira said.
"Well I'm glad, don't worry Kira with a little bit of time I'm sure you can get her to fall for you" Athrun smiled.
Kira couldn't help but smile at the situation. Kira sat down and opened his lunch package, he opened the container and found fried rice with beef and chicken bits, it looked very classy. It also looked like it took a lot of time to put together.
Kira was a little shocked. He didn't even know his sister knew how to cook As Athrun ate his sandwich he glanced over at Kira's lunch.
"Kira…did our nanny make that?" he asked.
Kira chucked. "No, believe it or not Cagalli made this for me"
"WHAT!" Athrun screamed. Kira didn't say anything he just smiled.
"For the entire year that I've known her she has never once done that for me. Oh she is so getting it when I get home tonight!" Athrun saida. Kira couldn't control his laughter.
15 minutes later after they finished their lunches, Athrun told Kira that he secretly put a tiny microscopic camera in Fllay's office.
"Really?" Kira said
"Come here Kira, I'll show you" Athrun said. Athrun typed in a code, and he got quick access to her office.
Fllay had her legs crossed. Putting eye liner on her desk, Athrun sighed in disappointment.
"Kira remember this if you ever hire someone, resumes don't mean shit, if I knew she was like this, I would've never hired her" Athrun said.
"Athrun, why do you need my help? You caught her doing personal things instead of working; you can nail her with this!" Kira said.
"I wish It could be that simple, but it's illegal to spy with you're own equipment. I personally installed the camera. So if I fire her for that she'll know and report it to head office, and I'll get fired" Athrun said.
"That sucks Athrun" Kira sighed. Athrun nodded. "Tell me about it"
"Well anyways, can I talk to you about something" Kira asked
"Sure, what's up?" Athrun asked.
"To tell you the truth…this whole thing about me becoming the heir to a major company…I don't even want it…" Kira answered.
Athrun was shocked at his words. "…Kira, if you don't want it then why did you accept it?" he asked.
"I didn't accept it, everyone assumed I did"
"But then why did you go through all this training if you didn't want it" Athrun said
"I don't know…I didn't know what I wanted I just went through everything to see if maybe I wanted it, despite all my accomplishments I've had since I was little till now, I don't know what I want anymore" Kira said.
"Kira if you really feel that way, you should go talk with Cagalli's father or better yet talk to Cagalli, I'm sure she'll support you" Athrun said.
"……yeah I've been meaning to talk to her about that too, oh damn it's 1:10 I've got to meet Lacus in 5 minutes" Kira blushed. He quickly got up zoomed out of Athrun's office, down the elevator and too the training room
----------------------------------------------
"1:15 just in time" Kira said to himself out loud. Kira saw Lacus as he arrived right in front of the door.
"Eh! Just in time" Lacus blushed.
Kira slightly laughed as they entered the room. Lacus resumed the training as Kira resumed starring at her.
1 hour had passed by and Kira's training was now complete.
"Well, that it we've covered basically everything" Lacus smiled. "It's 2:30, we still have about two and a half hours left of work" Lacus said.
"So I guess we have to head up then" Kira said feeling a little sad, his alone time with her was now over.
"Well let's just pretend I'm still training you" Lacus smiled. Kira caught on quickly to her idea. "Ok" Kira said.
Lacus saw this as the perfect opportunity to get to know Kira better. They began to talk, and talk, and talk. It didn't take long for Kira and Lacus become fond of each other. They quickly passed the stranger boarder and became friends.
"So Lacus what's you're story, why are you in a place like this?" he asked.
"I've always liked marketing, even though I've always wanted to be a singer" Lacus said.
"Can you sing Lacus?" Kira asked.
"A little" she said. Kira smiled.
"Can you give me a demonstration?" Kira asked. Lacus blushed massively from embarrassment. "Oh…no, I don't like singing in front of people, plus I'm not very good…"
"Come on I'm sure you have a beautiful voice Lacus" Kira said blushing tint red but he quickly covered it up.
What did I just say! Damn it Kira! You're going to scare her off if you talk like that! Kira thought.
Lacus blushed massively. Kira noticed.
"…ok…but don't laugh" Lacus said nervously.
Kira smiled "I promise I won't"
With that Lacus began to sing. She gave a quick verse and stopped singing. Lacus couldn't continue, she was way too embarrassed.
"Lacus that was amazing, you have a beautiful soothing singing voice. Kira said. Lacus blushed.
I think I'm getting the idea that she likes to be complimented Kira smiled.
"Lacus seriously, why are you in a place like this, I've never herd such a beautiful voice before, and the song was almost as beautiful as you're…" Kira stopped himself.
Kira watch it! He said mentally. Lacus started to blush massively, Kira saw how embarrassed she was getting.
"Sorry, I get carried away sometimes…when I see…" Kira's eyes widened.
Again damn! It just keeps on getting worse, she'll probably run away if I keep this up. Kira said mentally.
Lacus just smiled, she was getting the feeling that maybe Kira liked her, the thought of that made her feel special. She blushed slightly.
Changing the subject Lacus spoke up trying not to get embarrassed as she popped the question
"So Kira, do you have girlfriend?" Lacus blushed. Kira didn't notice. Kira was a little shocked that she would ask that question so soon. It was completely out of the blue to him.
Alright just calm down and keep you're cool. Try to make it sound simple. Kira thought.
"Nope" Kira said. "How about you?" he asked.
"I don't have one" Lacus replied. She found herself blushing again.
Kira started to get used to sweet talking her. She seems to like that sort of thing, so he continued to sweet talk with more confidence.
"What really, but your so pretty how could you not have a boyfriend" Kira asked. "…I'm not…" Lacus said.
Kira was about to argue with her but Lacus spoke up not giving a chance for Kira to talk.
"Kira, can I ask you something?" Lacus asked. She looked kind of sad.
"Sure anything"
"What's the meaning of life" Lacus asked.
Kira was shocked, at her question. "Why Lacus what's wrong?"
Lacus was surprised. She didn't think Kira would respond like that.
"Nothing's wrong…I'm just asking what the meaning of life is" Lacus simply stated. Kira stood up and looked at her
If you want to know the meaning of life, it's because you feel useless and worthless, what are thinking Lacus? He thought to himself.
Lacus looked little worried of Kira's silence. "You can't answer can you" Lacus asked looking a little sad.
"People tell their children with words and actions that they are no-good, worthless, useless drains on their parents' happiness, pocketbooks, and patience. Given this scenario, you get a lot of adults who became convinced as children that they were just no good, and they helpfully pass this attitude on to their children. That's just my theory" Kira said.
Lacus was shocked; she couldn't believe he answered her questioned.
"Kira you're not supposed to answer that question" Lacus said.
"Huh" Kira said
Lacus started to burst out laughing. "You're so funny Kira" They began to talk, and talk will time got the best of them.
---------------------------------------------------------
"Kira it's 6:15! We're supposed to get off at 5!" Lacus said. Kira and Lacus started to laugh.
------------------------------------------------------
They walked outside into the parking lot. They were about to depart.
"Hey Lacus, how did you get here, Kira asked. "I take the train" Lacus said. "Really, how long does it take you to get home" Kira wondered
"About an hour an a half" Lacus said.
"Holy! What time to you get up in the morning?" Kira asked
"About 5:00 I leave about 5:30 for work" Lacus answered
"Lacus how do you manage…" Kira said.
"It was hard in the beginning but you get used to it over time" Lacus said.
Kira smiled "I'll give you a ride come on" Kira said.
Lacus turned red "oh no it's too far. I don't want to trouble you." Lacus said.
"Don't worry" Kira then grabbed Lacus' hand and dragged her to his car. Lacus' face turned red like a tomato. She starred down at her hand which was being touched by Kira's warm hand. Lacus couldn't control herself.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
35 minutes later, they reached Lacus' apartment building. "See Lacus now isn't that much better then getting here in an hour and a half" Kira said giving Lacus a warm smile.
Lacus blushed. "Thank you Kira. I really appreciate it. I'll see you tomorrow" Lacus said cheerfully as she got out of the car.
Kira honked the horn as he waved and took off. Lacus watched Kira drive off. She couldn't help but blush at everything that happened today.
----------
Kira realizing how hungry he was, he stopped by a McDonald's drive through. He ate a meal on his way home.
---------------------------------------
Kira arrived home at 8:30pm that day.
"Guess I should tell Cagalli about my problem" Kira said to himself out loud.
Kira walked into the kitchen only to find Athrun, and Cagalli making out passionately on the table. They were really going at it. kinda made him sick.
Guess …I'll let them be, I'll just ask her tomorrow Kira's aid mentally.
Kira then went up to his room, did some configurations for a new OS he's trying to manufacture. Shortly after that he went to bed.
To Be Continued…
