Chapter 12

Destiny's Path

It was already mourning, Kira had gotten out of bed and began to dress. It was Sunday, Kira didn't have work today. Athrun had asked him if he wanted to go for breakfast at some sort of restaurant he knew. Kira knew Athrun had something he wanted to say to him, it had been awhile since they hung out anyways.

Kira walked into the restaurant. He saw Athrun sitting in a booth. Kira took a seat across from him.

"Damn it's too early" Kira slouched down on the seat. Athrun signaled for the waitress. "It's not that early, it's amazing how much you and Cagalli complain. Athrun laughed.

The waitress came over and took their orders. Kira looked up at the waitress and realized she looked very familiar, She didn't seem to notice him so he just let it be.

"So Kira how's school?" Athrun asked.

"It's okay I guess, can't complain" Kira said. "Where's Cagalli, I thought she was coming?" he asked.

"She wanted to sleep in, plus I think it's better if I talk to you alone" Athrun said. Kira's stomach began to sound. Athrun bursted out laughing, Kira placed a hand on the back of his head. "Sorry, I'm starving" Kira laughed

The waitress finally came with their orders. Athrun watched as Kira nearly forced his food down his throat. Athrun decided to wait until they had both finished eating.

------------------------------------------

Shawn walked into what was left of Siegel's office. It was pretty much all gone except for a desk. Shawn was about 6'3; he had black hair that went down just passed his eyes, he had dark brown eyes.

"Mr. Clyne?" Shawn called out. Siegel raised his head, he had been doing some last minute paper work.

"Yes Shawn, what is it?" Siegel asked putting down his pen and looking straight at Shawn. Shawn seemed to have a very irritated look.

"Where's Lacus?" He asked.

"She's in Orb" Siegel said. Shawn's body fidgeted

"What, what's she doing in Orb? We're not leaving until the end of the week." Shawn said.

"I know, but Lacus isn't doing anything here, and I know how much she misses Orb." Siegel said.

"Did you send her alone?" Shawn asked. Siegel nodded "Yes"

"You sent her to Orb by herself! What if something were to happen to her?" Shawn stated

"Don't worry. Lacus knows how to take care of herself" Siegel said. Shawn decided not to take it any further then this. He didn't want to cause any uneasiness between himself and Lacus' father. After all he was the man who is intrusting his daughter to him.

"Well, I'm pretty much done here, I don't need you're help so you can head to Orb if you want, I'll be there in a couple of days" Siegel said

"Alright"

------------------------------------------

"Kira" Athrun called out. They had both just finished their meal, and Athrun had just gave the waitress her tip. Kira's head jerk up

"Yeah, so what was it that you had to tell me" Kira said.

"I saw somebody yesterday, a …girl I haven't seen in a while?" Athrun said.

"…Are you…?" Kira's face made a frown "possible dating Cagalli behind her back?" Kira said. Athrun chocked. "NO!" Athrun almost yelled. Kira laughed. "Then why would it interest me?" Kira asked.

"It was Lacus" Athrun said. Kira looked at Athrun. Silence filled the air. Suddenly Kira's eyes began to quiver. Lacus was actually back in Orb.

A thousand things were racing through Kira's mind, he couldn't think straight. Athrun watched Kira, it seems as though he returned to the way he was when Lacus left.

"…I saw, in the paper that Sigel Clyne was moving his company to Orb" Kira said.

"Kira…"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. I've already prepared myself for this" Kira gave a fake smile.

"Kira there's something else" Athrun said. "When I saw her she was wearing… the bracelet you gave her" Athrun said.

"What'd you say?" Kira asked. Athrun repeated "she's still wearing the bracelet you got her"

Kira's mind began to go haywire. '…Lacus'

--------------------------------------------------

Kira walked into his room and dropped down onto his bed. He laid down starring at the ceiling. 'Lacus' still wares it? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Could it be that these past two years she was thinking about me…but why would she break up with me?' Kira thought.

Thoughts about Lacus clouded his mind until he drifted asleep.

Kira's Dream

After what seemed like hours of sleeping Kira woke up from his bed. Only he wasn't in bed. He was in a big king size bed. The room was painted pink with white frames, the sun was shinning in through the windows.

Kira rolled to his side and began question where the hell he was. The sheets were made of silk it was so comfortable he thought.

"Where is this place?" he asked himself. Kira's body fidgeted when he noticed a women's warmth cuddling up behind him. Kira turned over, his heart nearly dropped. He couldn't believe his eyes, it was Lacus. She cuddled closer towards him, she was still sleeping. Kira and Lacus were face to face, their lips were inches away.

Kira still couldn't believe his eyes, Lacus was right in front of his very eyes. Kira reached out and brushed away her hair from her face, he wanted a clear view of her face. She was still as beautiful as ever. The bright light shinning in made her look like angel. Kira's hand remained on Lacus' cheek, feeling her warmth, watching her sleep, her beautiful pink hair. This is something Kira hasn't felt in a very, very long time.

'I can't believe this, Lacus is right here. I can't even remember her being this beautiful. Kira admired her beautiful body. Kira unwilling stroked her beautiful face, he placed his fingers over her lips before he gently kissed her.

Minutes had passed, Kira continued to admire her beautiful figure until eventually. The commotion caused Lacus to awaken.

"Kira…what's wrong?" Lacus' eyes fluttered open. He didn't say anything, he was just glad to hear her voice, the voice he had longed for all this time.

Kira couldn't bring himself to say a thing, this feeling he had, it had to be a dream, there's no way this could be real.

"Okay fine, we still have a bit of time" Lacus smiled. Kira starred at Lacus in confusion. He really didn't understand what she could possibly be talking about.

"What don't want to talk? Fine I'll go on top, but just for today" she giggled. Lacus climbed on top of Kira. She began kissing him. Kira was a little stunned, how could this be happening? And what could she possibly be talking about?

Lacus parted away from the kiss when she realized Kira wasn't kissing her back.

"Kira…what's wrong, you usually become haywire when I mention anything to do with sex, or maybe you're still out of energy from last night" Lacus giggled. Kira blushed.

"…"

Lacus leaned over and kissed him. Kira kissed her back and put her down to the side.

"Huh? Kira are you passing…" a worried look appeared on Lacus' face

"Who are you? What have you done with my husband?" Lacus demanded jokingly

"…Husband?" Kira said. Lacus smiled. "You're so cute, I love you Kira" Lacus pressed her lips to his, Kira then pressed his lips towards Lacus making the kiss more passionate

Kira slowly parted when he herd a pair of foot steps getting closer and closer. "Oh, my there up already" Lacus sighed.

"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" a pair of kids came running into their bedroom and jumped onto the bed. Kira's eyes widened at what he saw.

Two kids, roughly around 5 years old. It was a girl and a boy. The girl had Lacus' pink hair and Kira's violet eyes. The boy had Kira's brown hair and Lacus' eyes. They were twins.

The kids jumped ontoKira. Kira gasped, he didn't know what to say. "Come d…dad, you promised!" the girl said. "Yeah, you said if you didn't get up, you wanted us to wake you" the boy said.

Kira laughed. They were really both adorable. "Okay, okay, I'm getting up" Kira said as he sat up.

"Isabel, Alex. Go get out of you're pajamas and get changed, we'll be right down. Okay" Lacus said.

The kids quickly got off the bed and ran to their room's to get changed. Kira sat up and observed the kids that had just left. Kira couldn't help but smile. Lacus then got up and looked herself in tall mirror. She twirled around in her pink and white night gown. She watched how her gown flew up past her stomach. She stopped and observed Kira who was currently admiring her figure. Lacus put out her hand and gave Kira the 'get over here signal'

Kira walked over towards her, she gently put him into in embrace. "Kira is there something wrong, I'm starting to get worried about you" She said.

Kira looked deep into her beautiful blue eyes. "I woke up today, and realized how perfect you were, that's all" Kira smiled.

"…" she blushed

"I have a feeling I'm going to wake up, and all this is going to disappear." He said. Lacus smiled.

"It's real Kira" She kissed him. Kira put his hands on her waist and tightened his grip on her pulling himself in for a more passionate kiss. After a couple of minutes had passed, Kira and Lacus parted, their lips were inches apart, both of them breathing heavily. "I…wanted to wait till you're birthday tomorrow, but I can't wait…"

"What is it?" Kira smiled, he brushed her hair away from face.

"I'm pregnant" Lacus smiled.

"You're pregnant…" Kira gasped. Lacus' smile quickly faded. "You're not happy…?" Lacus asked.

"No, I'm happy, I'm…" Kira quickly pushed his lips hard against hers. They embraced each other. After about five minutes they broke free.

"I have to go make breakfast, hurry up and get ready" Lacus smiled. Kira quickly kissed her again before Lacus went downstairs.

Kira went into the washroom and washed his face. After he had dried his face he looked into the mirror. Someone was in the mirror with him, It was a women, she was a brunette, it was his birth mother

"Kira…" she called out.

Kira's eyes widened "…Mom. Now I know I'm dreaming…" he said. his mother gave him reassuring smile

"Kira, if you choose the right path, all this can be yours" his mother said.

"What?"

"Right now, you have hate in you're heart for what she did to you." She said

"…Kira… don't hate. Think positive, you love her, she loves you. Whatever happens go to her…"

"Kira this can all be yours" the room suddenly went dark. He felt ice cold water on his face.

End of Dream

Kira quickly got up fast. He looked up at Cagalli who seemed to have an empty bucket in her hands.

"I…I…" Kira said. "Wow Kira, sorry I tried to wake you but you wouldn't budge. So naturally, I got worried." Cagalli said.

"Cagalli, were you with Athrun when you saw Lacus yesterday?" Kira quickly asked. Cagalli nodded. "Where, where is she staying?" Kira asked.

"I never …asked" Cagalli said. Kira ran out of the room and out of his apartment. Cagalli ran to the door

"Kira!" she called out but he didn't answer he just kept on running.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Kira had searched far and wide for Lacus, she was no where to be found. Kira didn't know where she lived, so he searched the streets and mall; he was just hoping that he would be able to catch her. However Orb is way too large, finding someone on the streets had to be almost impossible, considering that he doesn't have a clue where she was living.

Kira finally gave up. With all the pain she caused him throughout the time she had left. Kira would always seem to drift to the large tree on top of the hill near his high school.

--------------------------------

He was walking towards the hill when he noticed someone was up there. Kira's heart nearly stopped beating for awhile. It was Lacus, she was wearing a beautiful sundress, it went down towards her thigh's, and the top was cut right above her chest was, revealing her shoulders.

(A/N: Imagine when you first saw Lacus in Destiny, you know that green sundress she wears try to envision that please)

He couldn't believe what he was seeing, it was no dream this time. The wind caused her hair to flutter like crazy as well as her dress. Lacus looked absolutely beautiful, chills ran up and down his spine. She was standing straight, observing the school she used to go to. The school, filled with so many happy memories.

Kira was now right behind her, probably a meter away. Lacus' didn't notice, the sound of the wind was loud enough for a dog to run unnoticed.

Lacus decided she had enough and was ready to leave, she turned around, and there he was. Kira was standing right in front of her, his eyes, his hair, and his lips. Kira, the one that stole her heart, was now standing in front of her.

"…Kira"

'…I spent all this time searching for her, and I haven't even thought about what I would say' he said mentally

Kira walked closer to her. Lacus didn't say anything, she didn't know what to say. Kira placed his hands on her face, feeling the warms of her soft smooth skin.

"…Is it really you" he asked. Tears started to drop down her face. "…Lacus…I can't believe you're standing right here, in front of me." Kira almost cried. He dried her tears with his hands, but that didn't stop the flow of tears falling from her eyes.

Lacus wrapped her arms around his neck and embraced him tightly, Kira put his arms around her waist and did the same. Lacus cried on his shoulder.

"…Kira why?" she asked. Kira didn't answer. He just embraced her tighter.

"Lacus, after you left…I was nothing. I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, I couldn't function properly. I hurt a lot of people too…" he berried his face on Lacus' bare shoulder. He could feel the warmth of her body, just like in his dream.

"I hated you, and I hated you for what you did."

"Kira…I…I" Lacus cried

"Please, don't say anything. I know where not together anymore, and I don't care if you had already found someone else, I just want to stay like this a little longer. Please" Kira said.

"No matter how much I hated you, I loved you a hundred times more"

Lacus' shoulder felt so warm. Kira knew that this moment wasn't going to last. However Lacus didn't want this moment to end too.

Something came over Lacus, she didn't know why she did it. Lacus pulled away and kissed him. Kira's eyes widened, he quickly gave in and kissed her back. The feeling, this feeling, Kira had been waiting so long for this moment.

Kira put his hand on the back of her head and kissed her passionately. "…Kira I-" Lacus managed to squeeze through but was quickly silenced as Kira devoured her lips. After about 10 to 15 minutes, they broke away. Both of them were breathless.

"Kira…I" Lacus took a deep breathe trying her best to breath.

"Sorry" Kira said.

"Kira I have something to tell you" Lacus said.

"I'm…"
