Chapter 9
Dream?
Gwen never tried talking with Kira or Lacus again after that day. Kira practically did the same. A week had already passed. Kira walked down the streets of Orb to get to Lacus' house.
The dream he had the night before happened again last night, in fact it was the same dream he had every night for the past week.
Kira's Dream
Kira is running through a court yard. It was tall and very green. Kira doesn't know why he's running but for some reason he's running for his life.
Next thing he knows he's being chased by a bunch of thugs with weapons, there must've been at least 20 of them. Kira ran and ran until suddenly he came across a small beautiful blue crystal lake.
From far away he could see Lacus standing at the lake. As Kira came closer to her she turned around and faced him. She was crying.
"Kira…I'm sorry…" she cried
"Lacus, what's wrong?" he asked
"It's my fault, it's all my fault" tears started pouring down her face
"Lacus?" he said. Next thing he remembers, Lacus is shot, she falls to the ground with blood spilling everywhere. "Lacus!" he screams. At that point Kira wakes up.
End of the Dream
---------------
Cagalli was lying on her bed in her room. She was just waiting for her father to come home so she could hurry up and leave. Cagalli was starring at the ceiling of her room, she was thinking about the conversation she had with Lacus earlier today.
Flashback
"Lacus is it just me or have you noticed Kira's been acting strange lately?" she asked. Lacus lifted her head up in sort of shocking state.
"Yeah…he's been like this for over a week now" Lacus said. Cagalli eyed Kira who was talking with Athrun from afar
"He's…always constantly watching my back. He's afraid of something. When we're alone I can feel him shaking. When I ask him what's wrong he just smiles and tells me everything's perfect." Lacus said
"What happened?" Cagalli asked. Lacus slowly put her head down
"Sorry, but I can't say. I don't think it's something Kira wants people to know" Lacus said.
"…I see…"
End Flashback
'Kira…what's wrong with you' Cagalli said mentally. Moments later her father got home and Cagalli quickly got her things and left to Athrun's.
------------------
"Lacus, you're going to have to tell him soon" Siegel said. Lacus put her head down. "I know father…I will"
"The longer you put it off the harder it will be" he said
The door bell to Lacus' house rang. Lacus Clyne grabbed her jacket, kissed her father good bye and went out. Siegel Clyne's eyes were fixed on the door Lacus just exited out of. "What am I going to do with this girl?" he muttered to himself.
Lacus closed the door behind her and gave Kira quick kiss before she grabbed onto his arm and rested her head on his shoulder. "You like doing that a lot, don't you" Kira said.
"Like what?" she asked.
"Resting you're head on my shoulder." Kira smiled. Lacus blushed. "Makes me feel safe when I do…" she blushed.
Kira smiled and kissed her head.
-------------------------------
Marcus was in a nearby parkway under a bridge. He saw Lacus and Kira walking towards the bridge. Marcus smirked and walked up the hill with a bunch of his minions he had, they weren't from school. Marcus was part of gang now, he created it, and gave it the name, and he funded it with money from his own pocket.
Kira and Lacus saw Marcus and a bunch of guys approaching them. Kira and Lacus stopped. Kira immediately knew something was going to happen so he put himself in front of Lacus.
"Not so confident now. eh, Kira?" Marcus said with a smirk. The gang started surrounding Kira and Lacus. There must have been at least 20 guys there. Marcus slowly started walking towards Kira. Lacus put herself in front of Kira and confronted Marcus. "What are you trying to pull Marcus?" Lacus asked
"…Lacus…" Kira said
"I'm just trying to get even" Marcus said. Lacus shook her head in confusion
"Get even…?"
"From the life he took from me!" Marcus said coldly. Kira jerked his head up. The gang began to rush Kira and Lacus. Kira saw an opening, he grabbed Lacus' hand and ran for it.
"Get him!" Marcus screamed. The gang started to pursue them.
---------------------------
"Athrun isn't Kira and Lacus supposed to be here?" Cagalli asked. Athrun scratched the back of his head as he sighed. "Yeah, Kira said he wouldn't be late."
Cagalli took Athrun and threw him into the couch. They were the only ones home. Athrun's parent had gone to Plant for some sort of council meeting. Cagalli was now on top of Athrun. She kissed him forcefully. Athrun grabbed Cagalli and flipped her over so that he was on top of her now. He pressed his lips to hers and they kissed passionately.
---------------------
------------
Kira had Lacus by the hand as they ran for their lives. They were running through a parkway that had a lot of trees, it was identical to the scene in Kira's dream. Kira held on to Lacus tighter until he realized. That no one was fallowing them. "Kira…what is this place…I've never seen this before…" Lacus said. Kira finally let go of her hand. Kira began looking carefully at the scenery they were in, it was exactly like Kira dreamt of. Lacus took a couple of steps and she saw a beautiful blue crystal lake.
"Kira look at this!" Lacus called out
Kira turned around and realized Lacus' eyes were gazed at a nearby lake. She was far away just like in Kira's dream. Kira didn't realized they he was walking off in a different direction from Lacus.
Kira ran closer to her. Just like in the dream she was crying. Kira ran until he was right behind her. She turned around, he could see her tears dripping down her face.
"Kira…I'm sorry…"
Kira's mind started twitching like.
"It's all my fault Kira. I should've told you before…" she cried.
It was just a dream but he felt like something was going to happen just like in his dream. Kira dived at Lacus making them both fall to the ground, Kira made sure that she was on top of him when they hit the ground. Lacus watched Kira in shock. "Kira what's going on?" she still had tears in her eyes.
Kira saw Marcus and his gang pass right bye. Since they were on the ground the tall grass had their presence hidden.
The tears in Lacus' eyes were now gone. Kira and Lacus got up "How did you know they were coming?" she asked.
"I saw them from far away" he lied. Kira took Lacus' hand and they hurried over to Athrun's house.
---------------------
-----------------------------------
The moment Kira had with Lacus really freaked him out. However after that incident Marcus transferred out of the school. Word got out that he moved to Plant, others say he just dropped out of school, and there was a rumor that his family kicked him out. They never saw Marcus again after that.
The dreams Kira had began to disappear. He never dreamt about it again. However every time Kira mentions to Lacus what she as going to ask him by down the crystal blue lake she just ignores him and change's the subject.
---------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------
Weeks and weeks flew bye until it was down to the finale 2 weeks of school. The summer was about to begin.
During that time they became good friends with Dearkka, Lunamaria (also Kira's coworker), Shinn, Miriallia, and Meyrin.
It was the last day of school before exams started to take place in the finale two weeks. Cagalli was throwing a small get together at her house as a tension reliever before the exams begin.
Kira and Lacus sat down on the couch waiting for the others to arrive. Athrun took a seat across from them.
"I wonder if they're…" Athrun was cut off by the sounding of the door bell. Shinn, Dearkka, Miriallia, Lunamaria, and Meyrin all came at the same time.
They were let in by Cagalli. Soon they were all now seated in a big circle in her living room. Cagalli had a big grin on her head.
"Cagalli, what are we doing?" Lacus asked curiously. "We're all going to play a game" Cagalli said. "Really, and what kind of game is it?" Shinn asked. All eyes were now on Cagalli.
"We're going to play truth or dare" Cagalli gave her evil laugh. "How many times do I have to tell you? Stop doing that, it gives me the creeps." Kira said. Lacus giggled.
"Okay, I'll go first" Athrun said. All eyes were now on Athrun. Athrun scanned the group. He was looking for someone to pick on. His eyes were fixed on Shinn. "Shinn, truth or dare?" Shinn jerked his head to the right of Athrun. He didn't think Athrun would've picked him. "Okay I'll pick…dare"
Athrun smiled. "Shinn I dare you to…" Athrun stopped. He got up and walked up to Shinn. He whispered into his ear. "I dare you to squeeze Luna's right tit" Shinn immediately blushed like made "are you crazy!" he yelled. Athrun sat back at his seat. Everyone eyed Athrun. They were wondering what Athrun had dared Shinn to do. Shinn stood still silently. He knew it had to be done. Everyone had their eyes on Shinn, Shinn was concentrating on his courage. Finally Shinn quickly reached beside him and grabbed Luna's right tit. "AHHH!" Luna screamed as she slapped Shinn across the face. Luna's face was burning hot red as she was struggling to hold her breath. The rest of the group was laughing hysterically.
"Athrun that was cold" Kira laughed. Shinn rubbed his face where Luna had slapped him. "Athrun you pervert!" Luna yelled. "Alright, alright, let's keep it going. Shinn pick" Athrun said. Luna was still blushing. Her heart was pounding a mile per second. Shinn didn't dare look at her. He was way too embarrassed of his recent action he just preformed. Shinn smiled and looked at Cagalli. For some reason Shinn always loved picking on her, he loved seeing her over dramatic reactions. "Cagalli, truth or dare?" he said. Kira smiled at his sister. He couldn't wait to see what Shinn was going to make her do. Cagalli sighed "truth"
"Okay, are you sure? I'll let you change to dare if you want" Shinn said. "I said truth" Cagalli repeated
Shinn had a big fat smirk "Cagalli, tell everyone how you really feel about Athrun" Cagalli got struck by terror. Everyone knew that Cagalli was not the type to have open feelings. Meyrin, Luna, Athrun, Dearkka, Miriallia, Kira, and Lacus looked intensively at Cagalli, awaiting an answer.
Kira laughed. "Perfect question Shinn"
Cagalli was blushing like mad. "I…ummm…" Cagalli's entire face was going red.
"What…I can't hear you?" Kira said smirking. Just like Kira to make Cagalli feel even worse then she already was.
"Let's hear it" Shinn said. "I…I…love…him" she whispered. "I can't hear you" Shinn said.
"I love him!" She yelled out quickly. Everyone was shocked at Cagalli's words. They never thought she would ever say it. Athrun on the other hand was blushing. Shinn really got a kick out of it. He could control his laughter.
"Alright now it's my turn." Cagalli glared at Kira. Kira felt fear rushing down his spine. He knew this wasn't going to go well.
"Kira truth or dare" Cagalli grinned. "…Truth…" he said. Cagalli's grin became wider
"Kira have you and Lacus ever had sex?" she asked
Kira was thrown off by the sudden intake of words. Kira looked over at Lacus who had her head turned away. He could see that she was blushing.
"A bold question" Athrun added. "Okay I don't know if I want to hear this" Shinn said. Luna and Meyrin waited for Kira's answer. Dearkka and Miriallia were focused on Kira.
"I don't think I should answer that…" Kira said.
Cagalli got kind of annoyed. "Umm…you're right. It's too obvious. Okay Kira. How many times have you and Lacus had sex?"
"……." Kira didn't say anything. Lacus blushed again. Every stood there quietly awaiting his answer. "I…I…" Kira stuttered.
"Well…?" Shinn added
"I lost count after like the first month we were going out…" Kira blushed. Lacus quickly berried her face into Kira's shoulder. She didn't want others to see her blush as much as she was. She couldn't control it, Lacus' face was burning red. It was just like her to get embarrassed. Kira laughed slightly as he patted her head. He loved the way Lacus acted when she was embarrassed.
"What you guys actually had sex!" Shinn almost screamed. Meyrin and Luna were just as shocked. Athrun, Dearkka, and Miriallia not so much, they already knew they were doing it.
"Lacus, I never thought you would let Kira in so earl…" Shinn was bumped in the head by Miriallia's fist.
Dearkka cried in pain.
------------------------
After a long night of truth or dare they stopped playing and were soon ready to leave. It was already midnight. They had so much fun teasing others they didn't even realize what time it was.
"Alright guys this is it. No one talk to me or bother me for the next week. I have to study like crazy" Miriallia cried. "Don't worry I won't" Dearkka said. Miriallia stomped on his toe.
"Oww that hurt!" Dearkka cried.
Everyone just laughed at their relationship. It was one of those relationships that buts a smile on everyone's face.
"Alright guys, good luck on you're exams" Kira said.
"You too genius. You probably don't even have to study" Shinn said sarcastically. The others just laughed. They all knew of Kira's gifts. He was one of the people who were just skilled at everything. Lacus smiled as she grabbed on to Kira's shoulder. "I guess I'll see you guys after exam." Kira said
------------
Kira walked Lacus to her door.
Lacus giggled. "I can't believe he actually said that"
"I know" Kira laughed.
Kira grabbed Lacus by the waist like he always does a pulled her closer and kissed her. It lasted as long as 3 minutes before Kira broke it off.
Kira looked into her beautiful crystal blue eyes. He could never get sick of gazing into them. "You know, they say the best part of a relationship is the first couple of weeks. But right now the feelings I had for you since the beginning hasn't decreased at all…" Kira smiled. Lacus smiled back and put her forehead against his. She couldn't help but feel sad
Kira noticed Lacus' expression "What's wrong?"
"Nothing…I just don't want this moment to end." She whispered. Lacus put her head against his shoulder and embraced him tightly, she squinted her eyes tightly.
'I've got to tell him soon…' Lacus said to herself mentally
They shared one last kiss before Kira went off home. Lacus watched Kira leave like she normally does. Tears started to drip down her face
"…K…K…Kira" She whipped. The tears began to drop. Lacus quietly went inside.
