Chapter 17
Shinn's Revenge
-------------
It was dark and silent night, the streets were empty. Lacus was seated in a park; she stood at the swings, rocking back and forth lightly as she waited for an important someone. After moments had passed, a brown haired boy silently approached her, Lacus didn't notice what was going on around her, she was spaced out. Kira put a hand on her shoulder
"Lacus…" he called out
Lacus shook her head silently and stared at Kira as she got up "K…Kira" Lacus said. Kira wrapped his arm around her shoulder and led her into the direction of his car. Lacus saw Kira's intensions and stood silent as she got into his car. Kira began to drive away as he stood silent as did Lacus. After awhile Kira broke the silence "So…Lacus, what did you want to talk about" Kira asked
"Well…umm last night, you asked me if I was alright, I don't understand, why would you call out of the blue and ask me that." Lacus questioned. Kira hesitated to speak
"Well, actually I got word that Kia is planning some sort of a plan, but I'm not sure" Kira said, trying to hold his blush
"Huh…" Lacus mumbled. Kira looked directly into Lacus' eyes "Lacus is there something about Kia that you're father doesn't know about?" Kira asked. "What…, of course not…" Lacus said. Kira took a deep breath as he sighed "what did you want to meet for?" Kira asked as he stopped the car and parked it on a side street, the spot they were at, not a person could of seen them
"Kira…I…" Lacus stuttered "…Lacus…?"
Kira looked straight ahead not looking at Lacus. Lacus forcefully throw herself onto Kira and pressed her lips to his. Kira was still trying to register to himself what was going on, Kira pushed Lacus away as he forced her out of the kiss "…Lacus you're engaged, this is wrong" Kira said. Lacus' face was inches from Kira's, she was breathing heavily "I love you" Lacus said as she grabbed his neck and kissed him more passionately. Kira returned the kiss more passionately as he pushed her body back till he was lying on top of her.

"Athrun, Cagalli" Uzumi called out running towards the couple who laid still in front of the television set
"What is it dad?" Cagalli asked concerned
"Where is Kira?" he asked
"I don't know"
"He said he went out to get something, I don't know what though" Athrun said
"If he calls please let me know!" Uzumi said as he ran out of the house. Cagalli and Athrun looked at each other "What do you think that was that about?" Athrun asked. "I don't know" Cagalli stated
---------------------------------------
"Alright Shinn, let's do it" Shanni said as he took the safety cap off from his rifle. Shinn and Shanni proceeded into Siegel's home. Slowly and silently they checked room by room for Siegel.
----------
The windows of Kira's car had fogged up. Lacus laid breathless on top of Kira, their lips were inch's apart breathing heavily on each other as they kissed passionately for as long as their breaths could take them. Sweat dripped from their faces. Kira's hands were wrapped around Lacus' bare waist, and Lacus' hands were on the car seat on the sides of Kira's head, she was holding herself up.
After what seemed like an eternity they stopped, both of them were short of breath. Kira sat up a little as Lacus rested her head on his chest. Kira had his arm around Lacus.
"Lacus...why…" Kira said as he put his head down. Lacus didn't answer she just stood silent she wrapped an arm around his neck and pulled her head up and buried her face into Kira's neck and remained silent. Kira observed Lacus' beautiful figure from head to toe, she looked so beautiful. Kira put his hands on her bare waist and embraced her tightly as he kissed the top of her head.
After awhile Kira and Lacus put their clothes back on. They sat quietly by each other, Kira in the drivers seat, and Lacus in the passenger seat. Both stood silent not wanting to spoil the moment.
"He told me…" Lacus broke the silence, Kira's head jerked to his right, he stared at Lacus.
"…"
"He said if I didn't do what as he wished, he would kill my father?" Lacus said as she put her head down trying to hold back her tears
"Kia, right?" Kira said
"yea" she said as a tear dropped down her face
"Kira…I don't know what to do anymore…" Lacus covered her face with her hands
"Lacus, tell me everything" Kira said as he stroked her head

-----------------------
"That's it I've had enough of this" Gill said. "I thought you're plan was going to be perfect" Patrick said as he took a seat next to Gill resting his back on the chair. "You're idiot son is impossible to convince!" Gill said
Patrick Zala got up from the chair and began to walk towards the door. "It's all thanks to the bitch" Patrick said. "I won't watch him waste his life any longer. He declined my offer there's nothing left to do but get rid of him"
"huh?" Gill stuttered as Patrick walked out the door
------------------
It was already mourning and Athrun had decided to take a walk to ease the tension he was having lately. Athrun was walking down a narrow path; memories of the previous week were being played in his head over and over.
Flashback
"You'll get complete control of Plant, everyone will be in you're authority, you can do anything you please" Gilbert said. Athrun didn't say much, in fact he didn't say a word, he just walked away.
"Athrun, you don't want to make you're father more disappointed then he already is now do you" Athrun didn't respond he just put his right arm up and gave Dulindal the finger.
"My place is here on Orb" Athrun finally let out
End Flashback
"Why does he keep trying to draw me in. Why can't he just let me be? Mom, if only you were still around…I…I don't know how much more I can take" Athrun said to himself.
"If I'm going to do something, I have to act now" Athrun said to himself as he walked into a certain store
--------------------
"Dad, did you find Kira then?" Cagalli asked. Uzumi sat down next to Cagalli drinking his coffee "No, I didn't need him anymore" Uzumi said taking a sip from his coffee
"Well what did you need him for?" Cagalli asked. "Oh I needed to ask him how to do a certain configuration with his OS" Uzumi said. "Athrun isn't here where did he go?" Uzumi asked. "I don't know he said he wanted to check something out" Cagalli said
"Cagalli when are you two going to get married?" Uzumi asked placing his coffee mug down. Cagalli shook her head in shock; she didn't expect her father would ask such a question
"I don't know" Cagalli said bluntly
"You don't know, Cagalli what are his intensions, do you know?" Uzumi said looking into his daughters eyes
"Cagalli, if you don't get married soon, I'll arrange you to someone else"
"What, but dad I"
"Cagalli you're a grown women, you can't keep fooling around, don't you have any goals Cagalli?" Uzumi asked
"I…"
"Think about it Cagalli" Uzumi got up and left the room. Cagalli eyes were fixed where her father was just sitting
------------------------------------------
Lacus woke up in her bed; she instantly got dressed and headed downstairs. It was a little passed noon and Kia and her father were no where to be found. Lacus searched everywhere; she wasn't even able to find her house keeper. Lacus started to feel paranoid; she quickly grabbed her cell phone and called Kira. She called and called, Kira wasn't picking up his phone.
--------
Kira and Mwu were across the street from a hotel. They had been following Kia, inside the hotel. Kira could see who Kia was with, it was none other then Fllay. Kira took out a laser mic and pointed it up towards the two
"It's done, now it's just a matter of time" Kia said grabbing onto Fllay's waist
"Alright, why don't we get a room" Fllay said as she licked her lips "We need to celebrate…for a job well done" Fllay pressed her lips hard against Kia's
Kira turned off his laser mic, and stared at Mwu
"Everything is starting to make sense now, but what plan are they talking about?" Kira said.
"I don't know, I don't even know what the hell is going on" Mwu said
"A job well done…what job…Lacus?" Kira said. Kira took out his cell phone, 17 missed calls "I need to get to Lacus!" Kira grabbed his equipment and ran to the car with Mwu following him from behind.
---------
Lacus walked into one of the many rooms in her house, she finally found her father. But he was on the ground, he wasn't moving nor breathing. There were several gun wounds in his back, Siegal Clyne was dead, and from the looks of it, he suffered a massive torture session.
Lacus screamed in terror. She was about to run out of the door when suddenly Shinn and Shanni appeared out of no where
"The things I'm going to do to you, you can't even begin to imagine" Shinn said coldly as he jumped her onto the bed and tied her up instantly
"……what are you going to do to me…" Lacus said in terror
Cagalli stood still in the darkness of her room. The blinds were closed, there was nothing but darkness. Cagalli was sitting on her bed with her knees up to her chest; she was curled up in a ball. She could hear foot steps approaching her doorway. Her grip on her knees became tighter; she could feel that her father was the one approaching.
As the foot steps became louder and louder, someone walked into the room and switched on the lights. It was none other then Athrun "Cagalli what are you doing in the dark?" he asked
"Athrun…umm... I was waiting for you…"
----------------
Kira stopped his car in the front of the Clyne mansion gates; he quickly leapt out of the car and jumped the gates.
Lacus please be alright
Kira said to himself over and over again
Please Lacus!
Kira ran like he never ran before.
--------------
"Alright, I'll be on my way then"
"Make sure you aren't seen by anyone, by all means" Patrick Zala said. As he handed the man a suitcase filled with money
"Make sure you make him understand the consequences of the path he chose" Patrick said.
"I will. Is there anything else you want me to say to him?" the man asked
"No nothing. Just stage the scene to make it look like that he was killed by that bitch" Patrick said.
"You truly are brave, Patrick Zala. Hiring me to kill your own son, and then frame his little girl friend into thinking that it was her who killed him" the blond hair man said
"Just do it, and make sure you don't mess it up like the time you failed to kill that Yamato kid. Don't fail me this time …Rau Le Crueset!"
