Conspiracy

"What Shinn lost?"
"Kira Yamato beat him with one blow?" Shani asked
-------
-------------
----------------------
Shani was one of the top athletic fighters in all of Plant; he was an unstoppable war machine when it came to combat fighting.
He's the one that trained Shinn, well not so much trained but he taught him basic combat, he knew of Shinn's grudge to Clyne faction, he didn't care, he just wanted to help Shinn cause he loved conflicts, he loves it when people kill each other, betray each other. It was all a game to him, he didn't care about anything or anyone, but he encouraged hate, that's one of the reasons why he trained Shinn, he wanted him to become like him, and he did just that, Shinn was that easy to manipulate.
It took about a year of training before Shinn mastered Shani's arts of martial arts, Shinn was a fast learner, but he was no where near as good as Shani, Shinn quickly was hated by everyone once he was close with Shani, he entered in a tournament of martial arts, there wasn't any major fighting rules, you didn't need to know how to fight, you only needed to knock out the opponent.
Shinn won the tournament with ease, almost killing a few people along the way, he was quickly feared by others, and he loved that feeling
------------------------

Knock….Knock….Knock
Kira open his door, it was Shani
"Can I help you" Kira asked
Shani reached out his hand to Kira
"I'm Shani, I've been waiting for a chance to meet with you" Shani said
Kira was hesitant to reach for Shani's hand, something about it didn't seem right, but he did it anyways
"Kira, I'm going to be straight up with you" Shani began to hyperventilate
What's with this guy he looks crazy
Kira said mentally
"I want to fight you in a match, just like the one you fought with Shinn" Shani said
"But I'll understand if you're to scared" Shani said
Me, afraid, I don't know this guy, but I really want to…
Kira thought mentally
"When and wear" Kira accepted
Shani smiled "same place you fought Shinn, and now"
"Alright I'll be there in 5" Kira said
"See you soon"
------------
------------------
--------------------------
Shani was in the ring warming up
People began to gossip at the site of Shani
"Oh my…god"
"Shani is going to fight someone?"
Kira walked towards the ring
"It's Kira, he's really going to fight him?"
"Ok…Shinn is one thing, but Shani…he's going to get killed"
People began to approach Kira
"Kira, stop walk away, this guy is crazy, I'm pretty sure he's beaten people to death"
"Hmm…all the more reason for me to fight then" Kira said
"You're nuts…"
"Yeah, I hear that a lot"
The crowd became bigger and bigger, people came in with cameras
Kira entered the ring and started to warm up his muscles, Shani stood in the corner smiling, he really looked like he was insane
What's…with all these people, it feels like I'm fighting in the pros
------
-------------
Lacus and Siegel entered the enterprise
"So Lacus, remember to be sure not to miss it tomorrow ok, he's not a very patient man, just get in and get out"
"Dad, I know, must you repeat you're self over and over?" Lacus asked
Siegel couldn't help but grin "That's my daughter"
"…Dad…what's that noise" Lacus asked
"Oh that's probably fighting, they do that a lot" Siegel said
"Come on I'll show you"
------------------------------------------
They walked into the room where the fighting was in progress
"…Kira…" Lacus said worriedly
What…I thought I told my people to get rid of him! I need to stop this before something serious happens…
Siegel said mentally
Siegel tried but he couldn't get close, the crowd was too big and out of control
Again like before, Kira was dodging all of Shani's blows, it was insane, people were going crazy, they were all in favor of Kira
"…something isn't right, Shani is never like this, and I think he's just toying with him" someone muttered
Lacus felt scared and worried; the look in Shani was so over powering it was clear that he wanted to kill Kira
-----
Back to the fight, Shani stood up straight and faced Kira "I think I'm done playing around"
Shani went into a berserker mode and started attacking Kira rapidly, Kira was unable to keep up with him, he was getting punched everywhere
Kira was getting pushed back
"Kira!" Lacus screamed
Kira herd Lacus, he looked over as he was still getting punched rapidly, he could see Lacus, she looked so frightened…
Shani grabbed Kira by the throat, he lifted Kira up from the ground, it looked clearly to everyone that it was over
"Is, that all you have, I swear trash like you deserve to die" Shani hissed
Kira barely had his eyes open, but from his point of vision he could see Lacus at the corner of his eye, she was crying
Why is she crying…oh yeah, maybe it's because I'm about to lose, I won't lose though, not to someone like this
Kira said mentally
Kira broke into seed mode
But his eyes still remained shut
Kira started to laugh a little, Shani still had Kira lifted up by his throat, he saw Kira laugh
He looked furiously pissed
"Do you always laugh, when your about to die?" Shani hissed
"I won't lose" Kira whispered
"What'd you say?" Shani demanded
"I said I won't lose" Kira said as she open his eyes wide
The moment Shani's eyes came in contact with Kira's, Shani got struck by fear, he began to shake. It was like a demon was set loose from its cage.
Kira quickly clamped his right hand onto Shani's wrist, his hand shut down onto Shani's wrist like a snake bite, he instantly shattered Shani's wrist, Shani's grip on Kira was loosened and Kira was set free, Kira was still clamped onto Shani's wrist squeezing harder and harder, Shani was screaming like a little school girl
Kira built up power onto is left bicep, his arm was ready for a powerful strike, Shani being trapped by Kira's grip, was punched hard in direct contact with Shani's face, Shani flew back 8 feet.
Kira completely totaled Shani's face, Shani was instantly knocked unconscious.
The crowd roared, they praised Kira, Kira built up even more respect from everyone now, Kira gently closed his eyes and phased out of seed mode
Kira could see Lacus from a distance, she looked upset
The crowd slowly departed, as the medical team came in and put Shani on a stretcher
"Kira, that was some move, I wanted to see that guy fall apart for a while" Siegel said
Kira fixed his eyes on Siegel
"Why is he still here then?" Kira asked
"I don't know, I thought I told my people to get rid of him, but anyways I'm glad I have someone like you watching over my daughter" Siegel said
"Well anyways, Kira I got to be on my way, show Lacus to you're room, and remember she sleeps on the bed you get the couch" Siegel said furiously, it was hard to tell if he was joking or not
"Yeah, I got it" Kira said
Everyone left, the only ones that were there was Kira, and Lacus
Lacus slowly walked up to Kira with a disappointed look
"Lacu…" Kira was cut off as he got slapped by Lacus
"Oww, what was that for?"
"Why were you fighting!" Lacus angrily said
"He…challenged me…" Kira said
Lacus threw herself into Kira's arms
"What if you had gotten hurt?" Lacus began to let the tears flow out
"Lacus…"
"I'm sorry…but…I'm your bodyguard, there's going to be situations way worse then this Lacus" Kira said gently embracing her
"But…" Lacus began to squeeze tighter
"Oww" Kira said painfully
Lacus backed away a little and looked up at Kira
"Kira, what's wrong, are you hurt?" Lacus vulnerably said
"I think so…" Kira said
Lacus forcefully lifted Kira's shirt, she saw a big lightly shaded spot where his rip cage is
"It's not broken…Kira come on let me treat it" Lacus said
----------
----
They borrowed a first aid kit and headed for Kira's room
Kira was on the bed with his shirt off, Lacus was mixing some herbs together to treat Kira's minor injury
Lacus got a wet cloth and gently rubbed it over Kira's injury, Lacus could tell that it was hurting him a lot
"Sorry…this is going to sting a little"
She applied the medicine onto Kira, Kira began to breathe loud
After Lacus applied the medicine she wrapped a band aid around his waist to keep the medicine intact
"There all done" Lacus said as she gently kissed Kira on the cheek
"Thank you Lacus" Kira said
"Anything for you…" She whispered in his ear
Kira turned red
He was thinking that maybe Lacus wanted to do something
"I'll go make you something to eat, you get some rest" Lacus said
Aww…damn it… Kira said mentally
"I'll be right in the other room, call me if you need anything" Lacus said
"Lacus…thanks" Kira said

"Why did you do that!" Athrun demanded
"Athrun you're confused, I need to set you straight before you become lost"
"Lost? What's wrong with you, I haven't spoken to you in over a year, and you suddenly know what's best for me!" Athrun said
"Sooner or later you're going to realize your place here, you can make a difference here, stop wasting your life away, what can she offer you really, that path will clearly lead you no where" Patrick said
"You make me sick, stay the hell away from me and my life" Athrun said
Athrun began to walk away
"You walk now, but soon you'll be crawling back!" Patrick yelled
-----------------------
----------
Athrun got his ticket for his transport back to earth, he was sitting down in the waiting room waiting for his flight
Athrun's eyes caught attention of someone; it was Fllay talking with her father
What's she doing here, why would she be in Plant, I don't like the looks of this
Athrun said mentally
Athrun went in close, unnoticed by the two of them and he pretended he was using the phone, from his position it was close enough to hear what the two of them were talking about
"After this I'm going to make sure he pays" Fllay said
"Fllay I know how badly you want to do this but…be careful Kira is a born genius" George said
"Don't worry I've already thought about a perfect plan, and with a guy like Shinn by my side, there's no way this plan is going to fail, I'll make sure I shatter Lacus' heart" Fllay said
"Well I'm glad to see such determination in you, but please be careful" George said
"I'm going to go to Clyne faction now, I got to go meet with Shinn, I herd he got hurt by Kira" Fllay said
"Fllay…I told you be careful, tell that to Shinn to, something about that boy is terrifying" George said
"Don't worry, fighting Kira isn't part of the plan" Fllay said
"Well bye dad" Fllay gave her father a hug
"Bye Fllay, and good luck" George said
Fllay and George walked off in separate directions
Oh…God this is bad! Athrun thought to himself
Athrun searched the computer right where the payphone was, and searched for the Clyne enterprise number
"Come on, come one where is it…here!" Athrun said to himself
He dialed the number, and someone picked up
"Clyne enterprise"
"Hi, could you please connect me to Kira Yamato's room?" Athrun asked
"Kira Yamato, please hold"
The line started to ring, but Lacus quickly picked up
"Hello?" Lacus answered
"Lacus its Athrun, could I please speak with Kira" Athrun said
"Sure, just wait one sec" Lacus said
Lacus walked into the room Kira was sleeping, Lacus gently woke Kira up
"Kira, sorry Athrun is on the line for you" Lacus said handing Kira the phone
"Why are you in Plant?" Kira asked
"I was talking with my father" Athrun said
"Oh, really what for" Kira asked
"I'll tell you later, listen Kira, I have bad news" Athrun said
Kira sat up and started to listen more carefully, Lacus sat beside Kira, she was kind of interested
"What's this bad news? Cagalli's pregnant?" Kira asked
"No, it's Fllay!" Athrun said
"What, Fllay?" Kira asked
"Yeah it seems like she's working for Clyne faction, and she is trying to come after you and Lacus" Athrun said
"What how, why me and Lacus" Kira asked
"All I over herd her say is that after she's planning to ruin you, and shatter Lacus' heart, I think she knows about you" Athrun said
"Oh, shit" Kira said
"Kira…what's going on" Lacus said
"Wait how does she know about me and Lacus?" Kira asked
"Beats me, but be careful, and keep you're eyes open, she has a guy named Shinn by her side" Athrun said
"Shinn, ok I will" Kira said
"Sorry I have to go, my flight it being boarded" Athrun said
"Alright, bye" Kira said
"Bye" The line went dead
Kira dropped the phone onto the bed
"Shit…" Kira said
"Kira…what's going on?" Lacus asked
"Basically, Fllay is working for Clyne faction, and she knows about us and she's trying to do something to us…" Kira said
"What…Fllay…why would she be…?" Lacus said
"I don't know Lacus" Kira grabbed Lacus by her waist and starred deep into her eyes
"Kira…"
"Lacus, no matter what happens, whatever she tries to do to ruin us, remember I…love you" Kira pressed his lips against hers
Lacus blushed at Kira's actions
"I love you too, Kira" Lacus said
Lacus got up and helped Kira up "come on the soup should be ready"

"So Gilbert, how'd it go?" Patrick asked
"She strongly declined, and the offer was made by Siegel" Gilbert said
"I see, we have to keep trying" Patrick said
"It's going to be hard" Gilbert said
"It has to be done, Lacus isn't someone my son would decline" Patrick said
"I'm also thinking of a plan that might work" Gilbert said
"Is that so..."
