Chapter Three: Going a little Extreme
Suddenly all the lights turned on and Cagalli was standing in her door way her hand rested on the hall light switch. "What ARE you doing?" she yelled tearing Athrun off the other boy. She looked at the other boy, "Ahmed, are you all right?" she asked frantically. The young natural looked over at Cagalli, who was wearing a pair of tight jeans and a black spaghetti strap shirt, with a confused look on his face. "Ahmed, who's Ahmed?" Athrun asked angrily.
"Her Boyfriend" Ahmed answered as Cagalli helped him up.
"Your WHAT? Cagalli you CAN'T have a BOYFRIEND!" Athrun yelled as both the blonde Princess and the boy looked at him horrified.
"Athrun, I'm sorry, but please you need to li…"
"GO HOME!" The coordinator yelled at Ahmed, cutting Cagalli off.
"But, I only …Ok, See ya later Cag… or… not." Ahmed said as he slowly walked down the hall and out the door.
"Why do you have to be here? God, I HATE YOU!" Cagalli cried as she ran to her room and slammed the door in Athrun's face.
The blue haired bodyguard slowly walked over to the front door closed it firmly and locked it. He then went into the office and partly shut that door as well. Neither of them tried to talk to the other for the rest of the night.
"Good morning" Athrun said as Cagalli stomped into the kitchen. She glared at him and sat down on the other side of the tale. Folding her arms across her chest, she stared directly at him, not even blinking. "Maybe not" he muttered under his breath, "I've got breakfast ready" he said trying to lighten the mood.
"What ever" she said hatefully. She blinked slowly her golden orbs telling the coordinator how angry she really was. Athrun smiled hesitantly, she was scary when she was staring at you. He slid the loaded-to-the-brim plate slowly towards Orbs princess. She didn't even look at it before sliding it back towards her bodyguard. "I'm not hungry and I don't have time to eat!" She got up and grabbed a protein bar from the counter ripping it open she ate it in three bites. Athrun wanted to comment but thought better of it and bit his tongue instead he followed his charge out into the living room were she snatched a duffel bag off the sofa and turned to leave. "Were are you going" Athrun asked his old snarly attitude restored. "Out" she snapped back, giving him a look that plainly said 'try to stop me and die slowly and painfully'
"Then I'm coming with you" the coordinator grabbed his coat out of the office and followed her out the door.
They had walked a few blocks when Athrun piped up and asked where they were going. "You'll see when we get there," She said speeding up after glancing at her watch. Though Athrun had no trouble keeping up with her, even at a light jog. When they reached a large building Cagalli stopped, Athrun looked puzzled but said nothing. They walked up a fight of stairs and down some halls before stopping in front of a glass door. He blinked twice just to make sure he wasn't hallucinating, their was no way they had stopped to see a bunch of eight year olds PATHETICALY try to hurt each other. "Umm Cagalli can I ask you why you want to watch this?" he said cautiously.
"Because I want to laugh at all their mistakes" she answered sarcastically. "NO, I teach" She said firmly opening the door at the same time. As Athrun walked past her, she glared at him and hissed, "Don't do anything RASH" He smirked then leaned in close to her, "I wont it you don't" then he plummeted into a near by chair. "Sure you wont," she said under her breath as she crossed the mat to change.
After a few minuets Cagalli came out of the back room in an all black uniform, then tied her belt faster than any coordinator Athrun had ever seen. Thirty minutes of agonizingly boring minutes later – for Athrun any way – the thirteen, eight year olds had succeeded in bowing on, working on kicks and punches then not so successfully begun counter-holds on chokes and other not-so-likely-to-happen things. "Ok, now that you've all made some err… progress in beginner self defense, I'll get Cagalli to demonstrate some more advanced technique."
"But Sensei Hikaru your not much bigger than Cagalli" the young red headed boy piped up. "And you said that all that stuff works on people bigger than you!"
"YA" The other twelve students yelled after the one boy finished.
"OK, ok, class settle down." He turned around to look at were the adults were sitting. He toughly looked each of the adults over considering each one. "You sir" he beckoned to one of them, a curious Cagalli looking frantically over his shoulder to see who he was talking to. "You there with the blue hair, would you mind helping us?" Cagalli held her head in her hands, her day had just gotten worse. Athrun looked surprised but quickly recovered "Sure, why not" He pulled off his shoes and socks tucked them under his chair, before walking onto the mat. He went up to the Sensei introduced himself, then they proceeded to talk quietly for a minuet. The blond teen narrowed her eyes and glared at her bodyguards back, what stupid situation had he gotten her into now. "Aright, go ahead" Hikaru said stepping back out of the way.
Athrun turned around slowly then took a small step towards Cagalli, who glared at him. For a minuet both stood perfectly still, barely blinking. Suddenly the coordinator lunged slamming Cagalli into the wall, his hands locked around her throat. She kicked him in the ribs –Athrun showed no signs of pain – she punched him in the shoulder, no movement. That's it, Cagalli thought, he's going down.
Using a very basic skill she rid her neck of his hands, flinging him against the wall in the same motion. Without any hesitation she put him in a chokehold, "and you call yourself a bodyguard" she hissed, so only he could hear her.
"But I am… Princess" He whispered back, easily braking out of her hold and twisting enough to flip her onto the mat. The blonde instructor tried to quickly get to her feet, but was stopped by her so called 'bodyguard' dropping his knee into her stomach. The children were completely awestruck, not uttering a word. Hikaru, put his head in his hands 'Why, oh why did I pick a coordinator, Cagalli has her work cut out for her if she's gonna win. Knowing the stubborn blonde she's not going to give in easy'.
Cagalli was getting pissed, Athrun could tell. Even after knowing Athrun for only 3 days she could tell exactly what he was going to do. Getting a hold of her instincts orbs princess let herself got limp, every muscle relaxed. As guessed Athrun relaxed, a smirk resting lightly on his lips. 'Wrong move buddy' she thought pushing him off her so he was lying face first onto the mat. The kids gasped eyes wide. Cagalli pinned the coordinator so he couldn't move, and when he tried shed hit him. 'Ha,' she thought triumphantly 'beat that coordinator' "Stop, stop, stop" Hikaru said as the two young adults rose to their feet. "Now you see it is possible, you gust have" he flung him arm back at Cagalli – who ducked – "to think fast."
"So you're a coordinator and a black belt" Cagalli's instructor said to Athrun as Cagalli changed.
"Ya" He said softly.
"Are you her boyfriend then" He asked casually.
Athrun flinched, "NO, Definitely not, I'm her"
"Friend" Cagalli cut in quickly. "We're just friends"
After a long thirty minuets of waiting as the tomboyish princess driving steadily, and of Athrun not saying anything, his mouth started to get really dry. An uncomfortable silence hung in the air, so an extremely nervous bodyguard started to talk again. "So, were are we now?" he asked with caution. Cagalli stared at him then smirked. "Oh, trust me you will have the time of your life" She turned away from him "or the end of it" she added it under her breath. She wiped off the road and into the ditch were she parked the car, got out, and started to walk. They seemed to have walked forever when Athrun saw a very high bridge overlooking a very wide, almost still river.
"Is that were we are going?" He asked looking puzzled.
"Yup, that's the place, now hurry or we're going to be late for our reservations and lessons" she giggled. Now Athrun was worried, "Reservations, lessons WHAT lessons?" he asked himself.
"Oh, I hope you like stairs" Cagalli called over her shoulder as they approached the bridge. The pair of them walked up the many flights of stairs until they reached the top. One thing caught Athrun's eye; he HAD to say something "Umm. Cagalli, the bridge is broken, and theirs no railing on the one side!" He was now looking over the edge and into the river below. Suddenly he felt some thing being put around his feet. Looking down he saw Cagalli wrapping a belt around them. "Cagalli" He asked hesitantly "WHAT ARE YOU – AHHHHH" Athrun yelled as Cagalli pushed him over the edge of the bridge.
"HAPPY LANDINGS" Cagalli shouted as Athrun started bouncing up and down like a slinky.
"IM…AFRAID…OF…HEIGHTS!" Athrun shouted between bounces. He heard a snap, then a couple more, looking up at the buggy cord he saw more than half the strands were broken. "CAGALLI! HELP!" He shouted as another cord broke. Unfortunately for him, the blonde princess was laughing hysterically. He tried frantically to grab onto the bungee cord and when he finally grabbed onto it, it snapped and he plunged into the water. Cagalli slowly stopped laughing and looked over the edge of the bridge. Athrun was nowhere to be seen. She peered a little further over the edge. She felt two very cold and wet hands on her back as they shoved her off the bridge. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH! ATHRUN I'M GONNA KILL YOU" she hollered as she bounced up and down.
"Ha ha, you were right this IS fun!" Laughed Athrun. To his great disappointment Cagalli's bungee cord seemed to be in better condition than his had been. "If you don't pull me up I'll tell my father!" the princess he was to protect yelled. Slowly he pulled her up and they began the walk to the car. "I am NEVER going bungee jumping with you EVER AGAIN!" she yelled into the wet coordinator ear.
"Sorry what was that?" he asked mockingly.
"ARGH!" She shouted as she was storming away "JUST,GO DIE IN A HOLE!"
Now all you have to do is wait for chapter 4!
