Chapter 13 Twist Of Fate

A/N Chapter up! I know I'm very evil to Cagalli, making her suffer like that, but sorry, this fanfic would have no spice if I didn't torture her. Oh yes, if you're wondering why Murrue was at PLANTs, she was there with Andrew, haha! And of course, I'm making Mia worse than she actually is. In GSD, Mia is just plain annoying, I'm sure she wouldn't go as far as to steal Athrun from anybody. Though many of you might contradict my opinion of Mia, it's really what I think of her. Anyway, happy reading!

"Hey, what're you pipsqueaks doing all cramped into one room like that? Athrun's awake you know? All we saw was Mia Campbell in the medical unit." said Andrew Wattfeld, knocking on Cagalli's bedroom door, before poking his head in and entering with Murrue Ramius.

"Andy, they're not pipsqueaks! It's really good to see you guys again, Lacus, Dearka and Yzak." said Murrue smiling toothily, her long chocolate brown hair falling over her shoulders, as she sat down in a chair beside Kira, who was apparently, sitting on the floor with Cagalli's head buried into his shoulder.

"For some reason, my heart seems to have dropped a notch the moment I entered this room. The atmosphere here seems a little gloomy," stated Andrew, looking around at the bunch of teenagers, seated cross-legged on the carpeted floor of Cagalli's opulent and well furnished bedroom.

"Things have been down low lately." sighed Lacus, looking up at her two adult friends from PLANTs, who looked at her questioningly, eager to know what the pink-headed girl meant by her most recent statement.

"Yeah, and you can blame it all on that vixen Mia Campbell." hissed Dearka, his fists clenched and he punched them straight into the carpeted floor, making a few of his knuckles crack loudly.

"Oh dear, I smell something fishy, and it's definitely not me, I do smell sometimes, but only after work when I haven't had a bath. What's that annoying pest of a girl done now?" asked Andrew, raising an eyebrow at Lacus, whose face fell.

"What she's done is irreversible! I'm sure you know that Lacus sent you a detailed email regarding Athrun's condition, about him being ambushed, attacked and that he was suffereng from amnesia, right?" asked Kyo, not minding the fact that she hadn't even introduced herself to the two new friends they had all just made.

"Yeah, we knew he had lost his memory. But what's all this got to do with Mia?" asked Murrue curiously, eyeing each and every one of them suspiciously.

"Wait, wait, wait. Hang on a second. Before we jump into damn the story, why don't we start from the bloody bottom about how Athrun actually came here on his mission, and how Cagalli and all of us came into damn the picture? If not they'll be shooting questions in the middle of our bloody explanation." snapped Yzak heatedly, steaed comfortably against Cagalli's bed, Kyo sitting beside him on his right.

"Yzak's got a point. If we start from the beginning, Murrue and Andy will be less confused. But first let me introduce all of you." said Lacus knowingly, the pink-haired girl cleared her throat, "This is Miriallia Haww, Lord Uzumi's personal secretary. This is Kyo Yamajika, Orb's top female soldier. This is Kira Yamato, and last but certainly not least, the girl who's sobbing away into Kira's shoulder, who is also Kira's twin sister, is Cagalli Yula Athha, Princess of Orb."

"Wow, that was long-winded. You sounded as if you were introducing characters in a play or story, rather than just doing a informal introduction." said Miriallia, looking surprised at Lacus, who forced a grin.

"Well, it all began when Athrun was sent here to Orb, to assassinate Princess Cagalli. However, she found him in the forest and kindly took him in secretly, not knowing that he was plotting to kill her. Athrun disguised his identity, saying his name was Alex Dino. Athrun's presence managed to stay a secret for a week, until he was found out. Also, during that one week where he was stuck with Cagalli, both fell for one another, and they fell hard too." said Lacus, turning to Miriallia for a continuation of her explanation.

"Lord Uzumi then granted Athrun permission to stay at Orb, and after that things were alright for about a day or two, then Lacus, Dearka and Yzak came along. Yzak still wanted to kill Cagalli after finding out that Athrun had dropped the idea of his mission, however, Kyo being Cagalli's bodyguard, got in the way when Yzak tried to shoot her." said Miriallia stopping, when she noticed Murrue and Andrew were looking puzzled at Yzak and Kyo, who were cuddled up with each other on the floor.

"We'll tell you Kyo and Yzak's little love story later on." said Dearka, chuckling as he looked at Yzak who gave him a penetrating start that shut the copper-tone skinned blonde up.

Miriallia giggled slightly before carrying on, "While Kyo was unconscious, everyone was plunged into state of anxiety and worry, and it so happens that Yzak, who hardly ever apologised to anyone, apologised to Kyo over and over again while she was unconscious, ad he stayed with her throughout the night. When she woke up in the morning, she was touched by his actions and so their little story goes on..." Miriallia stopped, noticing that Yzak was getting fired up very quickly already.

"After all that, things went on quite smoothly again, and Lacus and the others were granted permission to seek refuge here. Then came Athrun's casualty. However, we are all blaming Mia because it seems that when Athrun woke up no one was with him, besides Mia. All of us seemed to be busy with somethign else at that point of time. When we all got back to the unit, she refused to let us in and we had to break down the door. However, in our absence Mia seemed to have spun a web of tales and lies about all of us, and since Athrun lost his memory, he turned against all of us, believing in Mia's words." explained Kyo, looking hafl infuriated and half sad at the same time.

"And because of Mia's words and actions, not only has Athrun turned against us, but he's rejected Cagalli as well. She's heartbroken right now, she hasn't eaten anything since yesterday. Nothing we do can console her." hissed Kira, his body shaking in fury, as he felt Cagalli start crying uncontrollably into his shoulder once more.

Murrue and Andrew looked appalled and stunned. Both were wide-eyed and staring blankly into space.

"This is unbelievable! Not only is that Mia girl annoying, she's cunning too!" exclaimed Andrew hotly, catapulting to his feet and slamming his fist into the palm of his other hand. "See, Murrue! I told you it was a bad idea letting her tag along with us!"

"If you found it such a bad idea, Andy, then why didn't you slog your guts out trying to stop me from letting her come along? Obviously, you really didn't bother much." retorted Murrue, folding her arms and pursing her lips.

"CAGALLI! WHAT'RE YOU DOING!" screamed Miriallia, tugging the penknife Cagalli was clutching between her fingers from her.

Apparently, while everyone was talking, Cagalli had stolen the oppurtunity to grab a penknife cut gashes along her left forearm, torturing herself. Although the gashes weren't deep, they still bled, and it would leave scars on her arm if they weren't cleaned and bandaged.

"Oh my gosh! Someone grab the first aid kit!" exclaimed Kira, holding Cagalli's bleeding arm away from her other hand, as the blonde girl was busy trying to pick at her wounds now.

Cagalli seemed to show no signs of pain at all, and her face still held that blank and stoned expression. However, the only sign of emotion she showed were the pearly tears in her honey-brown eyes.

"I'm on it!" said Miriallia, grabbing the first aid kit and sitting down beside Cagalli and beginning to wipe Cagalli's gashes clean with gauze swabs dabbed with some anti-septic cream. "Cagalli, why're you doing this to yourself? Cutting yourself with a penknife!"

"It doesn't matter anymore... nothing matters anymore. My life is worthless..." muttered Cagalli, tears streaming out of her eyes, as she stared up at Miriallia, speaking for the first time in hours.

"I'm going to slice that Mia into a human sashimi! It's all her doing! She's got such a bloody big mouth! She's a big fat liar too! Nothing she told Athrun about us were facts! Cagalli being a prostitute... SHE'S GONE WAY TOO FAR OUT!" hollered Kyo, slamming her fist right into carpeted floor, and even though the floor was carpeted it was still hard.

"Wow, wow! Cool it! We're all furious with Mia right now, but there's no need to throw a tantrum here." said Dearka smartly, looking disapprovingly at Kyo. Andrew wash shaking his head slowly at Dearka as he thought that the copper-tone skinned young man's words were pretty much hypocritical, as since when was Dearka ever well-behaved? Well ok, maybe he improved after meeting Miriallia, but still?

"Looks like you've picked up some bad habits from Yzak," Dearka added teasingly, making the attractive redhead suck in her lower lip and fold her arms tightly across her chest.

Cagalli was crying loudly again, calling out Athrun's name over and over. The blonde Orb Princess had been sheddng so much tears that Lacus was worried that Cagalli might get dehydrated. After all, the blonde girl hadn't had anything to eat or drink for the past 12 hours or so.

Miriallia had finished bandaging Cagalli's arm neatly, and was watching has her best friend cried pitifully into her carpeted floor. Cagalli wept on and on, taking in jerking breaths of air every now and then before continuing with her blubbering.

"Excuse me," said Miriallia, standing up to full height and walking toward the room door. However, the auburn-haired girl burst into a fit of tears just as she was a few feet from the door, and broke into a jog before exitting the bedroom.

"Sorry, I'll go after her." said Dearka, excusing himself as well, and slipping out of the bedroom door before chasing after Miriallia, whose cries could still be heard down along the corridor.

"That's the way to go, Dearka! Mr. Elthman to the rescue!" cheered Andrew, who was waving his fist in the air in the bedroom door's direction, however, it was only second before he was asked to shut up by Murrue, who seemed to be taking the current situation seriously.

Miriallia stumbled and fell into a sitting position in a secluded corner at the very end of the corridor. Hugging her legs close to her body, she buried her head into her knees, crying profusely.

Cagalli and her had been close friends ever since Miriallia had started working at Orb, and they were always sharing weal and woe with one another. They were like sworn sisters, confiding in each other whenever they needed someone to talk to.

But now, Cagalli was in such a sorry and devastated state. She had loved Athrun with all her heart, placing every bit of her trust in him, willing to give up her life for him if fate forced her to. Yet now, Mia had to come along out of nowhere and ruin the love they had forged and built together.

Why was fate robbing Cagalli of the chance to be the one she loved and trusted most? Why? Life was already hard enough for Cagalli, being the Orb Princess many things were expected of her, and further more she was Lord Uzumi's successor, the only heir to the throne of Orb once Lord Uzumi passed on.

The reason why Cagalli had always been so tomboyish and rough was because things that had happened to her in her life, had forced her to live life on her own, to be independant and rely on no one else but herself. But when Athrun came along and showed her the true meaning of life, making her feel as if she didn't have to feel so alone all the time, Cagalli finally softened up a little and let Athrun love her.

Yet now, when she had finally learned to appreciate the friends and the love she was receiving from the people who cared for her, fate had to take a violent turn and steal the one most precious to her, Athrun Zala.

"Mirre? Are you alright?" asked Dearka, finally finding the auburn-haired girl, crouching down in the secluded corner, only her green eyes and part of her auburn-hair visible in the semi-darkness.

Miriallia just sniffled in reply, letting more tears fall from her eyes and hit the marble floor. It was only then that she realised how beautiful the marble on the floor was, black marble with swirls in them, neatly polished and shining brightly.

However, when the auburn-haired girl lifted her head, her gaze met with an even more beatiful thing, the most beautiful thing she had seen in her entire life, Dearka Elthman. He had the most intoxicating lavender eyes and his blonde locks seemed so alluring it just made Miriallia want to reach up and run her fingers through them.

"I know how you feel. Depressed because you couldn't do anything to help Cagalli. Sad because you hate seeing her this way. I may be a guy but I have feelings too. I can sense how people feel and I can feel for people too." said Dearka tenderheartedly, stroking Miriallia's blotched cheek gently, using his thumb to wipe away her tears.

"Things have just been twisting in odd directions lately, and it seems that only Kyo and Cagalli understand me. But Cagalli's now so stoned to speak, and Kyo's too busy spending most of her time with Cagalli and Yzak." sobbed Miriallia, bursting into a fit of tears too.

Dearka felt a little downhearted that Miriallia hadn't really taken much notice of how much he cared for her, but nevertheless, at least she wasn't rejecting him. "You forgot one person. I understand you too. You may not have noticed but I care about you a whole lot as well. I care so much sometimes I even think I love you." he added.

Miriallia looked up into the kind and dulcet face of Dearka's, noticing the small smile playing on his lips and the warmth his lavender orbs were projecting.

"I'll be here for you... always." said Dearka, leaning forward and enveloping Miriallia in his warm and secure embrace, feeling her shiver slightly before she cuddled up closer to him, her arms gripping his shirt tightly.

"Who says we go down there and swipe Mia off her feet?" asked Andrew, leading the bunch of people like a leader of an angry mob. However, his question didn't go unanswered, most of them wanted to give Mia a piece of their minds.

"She's such a bimbo! Lying to Athrun about Cagalli and us! She's the reason Athrun's rejected Cagalli and refuses to talk to any of us!" hissed Miriallia, her cheeks still tear-staiend as she had just returned to the bedroom minutes before with Dearka.

"I'll show that Mia! I'll KILL her!" bellowed Kira, slamming his fist into the wall behind him, breathing just like Yzak when the platinum blonde was deeply infuriated from the inside out.

"Kira! Don't be rash! Killing her won't reverse things, besides, you've seen how accustomed Athrun is with Mia, if we kill her it'll only give Athrun a worst impression of us." said Lacus knowingly, looking rather disapproving of what was going on. "Anyway, I'm not with you guys if you're going to use violence as a means of castigating Mia. I'm against violence, I think's it's sinful."

"Fine, we won't lay a single finger on her or pluck out a single strand of her hair! But I assure you I'll holler at her till my voice goes hoarse if needed!" said Dearka firmly, looking and Miriallia and nodding at her.

Cagalli was sitting away in the corner of the room, hugging her legs and looking as devastated as before. She was never going to stop loving Athrun, never. She couldn't stop loving him, she had a valid reason for it. If she did stop loving Athrun, it wouldn't be fair to someone.

"Then what're we waiting for! Let's go!" said Andrew, standing up and leading the bunch of teenagers out of the bedroom in one row, Dearka, Miriallia, Yzak, Kyo and Kira.

"La la la la la la la, the ants go marching in!" sang Andrew, leading the row of teenagers, Murrue trailing along behind the bunch. Lacus had decided to stay behind in Cagalli's bedroom to keep watch over her.

"Be quiet Andy! How old are you anyway? 32?" snapped Murrue, clearly feeling very annoyed by her partners childish and noisy behaviour.

"Whatever you say, ma'am!" replied Andrew, turning around to face her before saluting and winking at her.

The bunch of them came to a halt outisde the medical unit, all of them raring to go in and scream at Mia Campbell.

"Now, let's see. Why don't you guys go in, and Murrue and I will stay outside in case Mia tries to make some big escape." said Andrew smartly, standing about one and half metres away from the medical unit doorway.

"Yeah right, you can stay outside, but it's not because you're guarding the door. It's because you're scared." snarled Kira teasingly, laughing maliciously at Wattfeld, who just snorted and folded his arms.

"Wait, before we go in we must make sure we don't attract unwanted attention, such as Dr. Ishida and the nurses for instance. We've got to plan things out." said Dearka knowingly, licking his lips before cocking his head to one side.

"What is there to plan? All we have to do is go in there, and give Mia a piece of our minds!" said Yzak hotly, turning to face his comrade and folding his arms.

But before anyone else could say anything, Miriallia had already pulled open the medical unit door and trudged in along with Kira, who was looking extremely furious.

Mia was busy feeding Athrun some porridge, and was giggling as she did so as some of the porridge had spilled down Athrun's chin onto his front. The pink-haired girl grabbed a few tissues and began cleaning up before she realised that she and Athrun weren't alone.

"Goodness, your feeding is way better than Mia's." Kyo whispered to Yzak, who rolled his eyes, a slight tint of pink coming to his cheeks as he remembered feeding Kyo some porridge just days before.

"Yes? Can I help you?" asked Mia sweetly, grinning at Miriallia and Kira, who were standing in front of everyone else. Mia threw the soiled tissues into the bin by her side, before returning her innocent gaze to the teenagers in front of her.

"My, my, why the long faces and black faces? Did something terrible happen to the lot of you? You can tell me, I'll gladly listen." said Mia, smiling toothily at Miriallia, who seemed to be growing angrier by the second.

"Yes, you can very well help us! You can help us a bunch by telling Athrun the naked truth about us!" barked Kyo, stepping forward and standing firmly alongside Miriallia, who nodded sternly.

Instantly, the innocent expression on Mia's face was swiped off, replaced by a malicious sneer. However, when she spoke her voice did not change, probably so that Athrun would not get suspicious. Since Mia's back was facing Athrun, he had no idea what her features were playing.

"But I wasn't even lying. You people are just putting on a angelic front. The truth is that the bunch of you are willing to either sell yourselves," said Mia, stopping and turning to look at Miriallia and Kyo, who both curled their fists into tight balls. "Or behave like insolent and barbaric brutes."

Mia ended her speech with a deadly and rude stare at Yzak, indicating that she thought he was insolent and a barbaric brute, which was right about Yzak, in the past that is. The platinum blonde had been coaxed and encouraged by Kyo ever since her met her, and had since had his behaviour and temper improve by heaps.

Yzak's breathing became rather obvious again, flaring his nostrils like an infuriated bull. This kind of behaviour called for Kyo to turn around and calm him down using gentle and soothing words.

"Don't let her rattle you. You know she's lying, don't you? No matter what she says of you, you'll always be an angel in my eyes, Yzak." whispered Kyo softly, stroking his cheek gently, brushing aside some of his platinum blonde hair.

Just then Kira exploded, letting out his temper, which had never been as hot and red as now. The way he burst out was as if he had suddenly caught fire, a fire that was wild and burning with fury, fuelled by it's hatred for anything that stood in its path.

"YOU STUPID INSOLENT GIRL! YOU'RE RUDE, HEARTLESS AND YOU'RE ALSO A BIG FAT BLOODY LIAR!" bellowed Kira, nearly lunging at Mia if not for Miriallia and Dearka, who restrained the brunette who was struggling wildly.

Mia screamed a loud and frightened scream, triggering Athrun's temper this time round. Although she sounded almost terrified, her expression still held that malicious grin. Mia was so good at lying she could lie without batting an eyelid.

"Why did you have to lie Mia? Lie about us to Athrun! Worst of all lie about Cagalli to Athrun! Thanks to you and your mouth, Cagalli can't do anything but grieve and indulge in self-mutilation the entire day long!" hollered Miriallia, tears of anger coming to her eyes. "You're so selfish, you only thought of yourself when you lied! You just shoot your mouth of without thinking!"

"ALL OF YOU JUST LEAVE HER ALONE!" shouted Athrun furiously, the blue-haired co-ordinator was now on his feet and standing protectively in front of Mia. Although his head was still bandaged, he must've recovered most of the way throughout the night with Mia's help, and he sure had a good amount of strength and energy to deliver such a loud and echoing shout.

Mia was now cowering behind Athrun, trembling and looking on the verge of tears. Although Kira and the others knew very well that she was feigning the innocence and the tears, just to win Athrun over.

"Athrun she's lying to you! If only you had your memory, you would remember all of us! All the fun things we shared! And all the precious moments you and Cagalli had!" said Kyo frantically, standing in front of Athrun, looking almost ready to plead with him.

"No! You're the one who's lying! you're the one's who landed me in this state! Call yourselves my friends! Friends of my former self maybe, but definitely not now! And you can tell that Cagalli, she's nothing more than a snot of a girl to me now!" snarled Athrun, turning around and comforting Mia who was now in tears.

"I don't believe this! Heaven, why are you doing this to Cagalli? Nevermind us, but why Cagalli?" asked Miriallia, falling to her knees and looking up out of the window and at the innocent blue sky, its fluffy white clouds like bunches of white candyfloss floating around aimlessly.

"Let's go our work here is done. We've done all we could. Even if we tried harder, if Athrun isn't willing to give us a chance so he can dig further and believe, then no matter what we said wouldn't matter." said Dearka knowingly, sighing before wrapping an arm aorund Miriallia's shoulders and steering her out of the ward.

They all filed out of the medical unit one by one, Kyo took one last look at Athrun, remembering the polite and charming young man he once was. Like when she first met him in Cagalli's room, and he had been hiding in Cagalli's bathroom.

Murrue and Andrew were still outside, and knew better than to question as they had heard the entire frenzy and conversation, and knew that it didn't go well at all.

They all field back into Cagalli's bedroom, slumping themselves into chairs and sighing.

"So? How'd it go?" asked Lacus curiously, ignoring the pissed and disappointed looks on their friend's faces. There was a long silence after Lacus's question, clearly no one wanted to answer it.

"I assume it went badly," muttered Lacus softly, sitting down beside Cagalli on the floor. The blonde girl was looking as stoned as ever, however, at least she was looking around at people now and saying a few words.

"How was Cagalli while we were gone? Was she extrememly frisky?" asked Kyo, looking at Lacus expectantly, who just grinned back and shook her head to indicate that Cagalli had been no worse than an angel.

"Cagalli stop! Leave the bandages alone!" exclaimed Miriallia, prying Cagalli's hand from her injured arm as the Orb Princess was now busy untying the bandages and looking ready to hurt herself even more.

"Why can't all of you just leave me alone?" asked Cagalli softly, looking up at Miriallia, Lacus and Kyo, who were the three people standing the closest to her at the moment.

"We can't and won't leave you alone, even for a second!" barked Kira harshly, looking firmly at his blonde twin sister who looked somewhat hurt and offended. Lacus shot Kira a fierce stare, telling him not to work Cagalli up and to stop being so stern with her.

"Kira's right, but it's not that we want to watch you like a hawk eyeing its prey. See, you've been behaving in a rather unstable way lately. Take earlier for example, you were mutilating your arm." said Lacus kindly, tucking a few strands of Cagalli's blonde hair behind her ears, so they wouldn't poke her honey-brown eyes.

"Yeah, Cagalli we all know you're feeling very down and hurt right now, but it's no reason for you to want to hurt yourself even more." said Kyo, crouching down in front of Cagalli, and looking sadly at the blonde Orb Princess, whose nostrils were flaring every now and then while her eyes were swimming in her tears.

"No offense Cagalli, but you want to hurt yourself so much that we're afraid if we leave alone for just 10 seconds, you might take the oppurtunity to commit suicide." said Dearka knowingly, looking at Cagalli before looking back down at his feet and shuffling them about.

Cagalli burst into a fit of full-blown tears the moment Dearka ended his statement, and she started hurting herself even more this time, by biting herself. Miriallia and Lacus frantically tried to stop Cagalli, but to no avail Cagalli just began running around the room away from everyone.

"Cagalli! D'you want to be thrown into the tub again!" questioned Kira loudly, folding his arms and looking at Cagalli sternly, who was standing in furthest corner of the room from everyone else.

At Kira's sentence, Cagalli took her forearm away from her mouth. The blonde girl trembled for a second before falling to her knees and crying bitterly. She tugged at her blonde hair, and bit her lower lip letting her tears of pure anguish fall and soak into the carpeted flooring of her bedroom.

"Cagalli, stop doing this to yourself. You're making all of us very worried for you," said Kyo pleadingly, looking sadly down at Kyo, looking on the verge of tears herself as she watched the once tomboyish Princess of Orb being reduced to nothing more than a lonely girl with no one to love.

"Tsk tsk, you're definitely not that tomboy I first laid my eyes on." hissed Yzak, looking at Cagalli and shaking his head, but was ticked off by Kyo, who glared at him fiercely, and whacked him hard on the arm, though it clearly had no effect on Yzak, who was known to have skin even thicker than an elephant's.

"Cagalli, tell us what we can do to make you feel better! We hate seeing you this way, it makes our hearts ache along with yours!" said Miriallia falling to her knees in front of Cagalli and lifting the blodne Orb Princess's head.

"What happened to all the fun things we had in the past? We used to share the joys and the pains, remember? If you feel sad then I'll feel sad as well." added Miriallia, shakign the blodne girl by the shoulders. "So brace up Cagalli, you're only 16 you've got a whole life ahead of you, make good use of it."

"I... don't want... to think... of the past. It makes... me think of... of... of ATHRUN!" wailed Cagalli pitifully, feeling the jets of hurt shoot through her chest and pierce her hearts like a thousand daggers and javelins.

There were countless holes in Cagalli's heart right now, made by the daggers and javelins, but even if those deadly weapons were wrenched out of her heart, the wounds and scars they made would never heal. Her heart was a wreck, shattered into a million pieces, not even the world's best man at jigsaw puzzles would be able to mend it.

"Cagalli, why don't you just forget about Athrun?" said Kira, his voice cracking up as he looked down at his sister, feeling the pain she felt as he watched her weep and torture herself endlessly.

Everyone turned their gaze to Kira, some of them not believing that Kira had just said that, and others wishing to kill him because they knew that phrase would work Cagalli up to full blast.

Cagalli sat on her feet, her legs bent inwards and her knees jutting out. The blodne girl sat there, traumatised as though petrified by her twin brother's most recent sentence.

Fear flooded Cagalli's mind. No, she couldn't forget Athrun, she couldn't even stop loving him. It wouldn't be fair to someone. That someone hadn't chosen to be caught up in the situation they were all tangled in now, like an insect caught in a spider's web, that someone had been hopelessly thrown into the tangled mess.

Cagalli knew she would never forget Athrun, she reached into her pocket before taking the rectangular shaped object about 10 centimetres long. She clutched it between her fingers, knowing she could hide the secret no more.

Out of the blue Cagalli let out a strangled cry, "How can I forget Athrun? I won't stop loving him and won't forget him either! I can't stop loving him! BECAUSE I'M PREGNANT!"

Cagalli threw the object she was holding at Kira who caught it and realised it was a pregnancy test kit. The kit showed a positive and Kira couldn't help but looked half shocked and half sorry for his sister.

No one knew how to talk to Cagalli, no one knew what to say to her. All they could do was watch.

A/N There's another chappie for you guys! I know most of you hate Mia, she's such a toot. Can't say that word, haha! Anyway, sorry for typo errors and pls review! Oh yes, I wish you all a Merry Chirstmas!

In the next chapter: With a lot of effort, Miriallia and Kyo manage to persuade Cagalli to eat something. Cagalli calms down a great deal after this. Kira feels shocked and is a loss of what to do, he heads down in the garden and drowns his uncertainty and sorrow with his tears. Lacus spots him from the balcony and comes down to soothe him. Lord Uzumi pays Cagalli a visit in her room after learning about what happened. Cagalli decides to confront Athrun alone, now that he has been discharged. However, will her confrontation with him go smoothly or will things turn ugly?
