Chapter 13

Feelings

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

"I'm…"

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

Kira lied in the grass in the middle of the park. It was already in the evening. Kira starred into the sky starring at the clouds, he was trying to figure out what shape they resembled. One of the clouds looked exactly like a halo. The halo reminded him of his mother, his biological mother that is.

Kira's had always thought of his biological mother like an angel. That's what he thought his mother was when he was growing up, even now he thinks of her like that even though she is no longer with him. His mother looked a lot like Kira. She was a brunette with violet eyes. She always had a smile on her face, she was beautiful.

He couldn't believe he saw his mother in his dream. Seeing his mother reminded him how much he missed her. He was only 4 years old when she passed away, but she had a face and a personality that Kira could never forget, it was engraved into his heart.

Kira's mother was really good friends with the Yamato's. She didn't have a family of her own, she only had Kira. She had asked the Yamato's to watch over Kira if anything were to happen to her. She had been sick with an illness for awhile. She knew her time was nearing its everlasting end. Cagalli was taken away from her and birth. The doctors had always said that she didn't make it. but in her heart she knew she was taken away from her.

Kira smiled thinking about all the happy memories he made with his mother. She was always smiling. She had the power to always make him feel better, like most moms. But Kira's connection with her was so strong, it was clear that he was a mamma's boy.

Kira sighed heavily, he rolled to his side. Thoughts about his dream suddenly came to him.

"Kira, whatever happens, don't hate her"

"You've got to be kidding me. How can I forgive her after that?" Kira thought as he sighed. "I can't forgive her, but I don't exactly hate her…" Kira starred up at the ceiling. "Why does everything seem go so wrong lately?"

"Forget forgiving her…I don't even think I could look at her anymore…I can't believe she lied to me…"

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

"SHINN!" a women's voice screamed. Shinn nearly fell in pain as he covered his ears. "Do you really need to yell, you're right beside me!" Shinn said angrily. The girl laughed

"By the way, who are you?" he teased.

"Very funny" she giggled.

"Guess what?" Luna asked

"What?" Shinn responded.

"I herd from Cagalli that Lacus came back." Luna said. Shinn's head jerked up towards Luna's face.

"WHAT!"

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

Lacus walked to her front porch, she reached in her purse and pulled out her keys. Almost as soon as Lacus put the keys in the key hole she realized that the door was unlocked. But how can that be she was a well organized person. She would never forget to leave a door unlocked.

Lacus silently walked in. she took one quick stare at the shoes and then stared at the bags that were lying near the front door. She sighed in relief, she was thinking that maybe someone had broken in. however it was only Shawn.

"Lacus" Shawn called out. Lacus jerked her head up to left and saw Shawn approaching her from the other side of the hall

"…Shawn I thought you and father weren't coming till the end of the week" Lacus said.

"I was done everything so Mr. Clyne asked me to come earlier to watch over you" Shawn smiled

"I see" Lacus said with a hint irritation, Shawn didn't notice though.

Shawn grabbed Lacus' hand and led her towards the outer door. Lacus looked curiously at Shawn "Umm…where are you taking me?" Lacus asked

"I told you the next time we were alone I would take you shopping" Shawn smiled. Lacus didn't say anything, she just continued to walk along with Shawn and got into his car. Lacus loved shopping she almost never passed the opportunity to go.

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

"Athrun" Cagalli called out. Athrun sighed "what Cagalli…"

"What was that for?" she hissed

"What was what for?" Athrun asked

"The sigh" Cagalli said

"It was for …you?" Athrun said. Cagalli's head jerked up "I know that, but why!" she demanded. Athrun put his arms around her waist, Cagalli's arms were trapped within Athrun's embrace. She blushed as he inched closer and pressed his lips to hers. After about 2 minutes he pulled back. Cagalli was blushing like she always does. "Sorry I love it when you're angry" he laughed before kissing her again.

Athrun pulled away and broke off the embrace he had on her "Cagalli come on let's go" Athrun said.

"I don't want to go now" Cagalli said softly. "Me too, but today is the last day of the sale and I wanted to get that statue for my mother" Athrun said.

"I think the mall's closed already" she giggled "We still got until 8, its only 6" Athrun stated.

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

Shinn and Luna were also walking towards the mall. They passed by an opened field with a lot of hills, it was the park. Shinn looked further down and noticed Kira lying on the grass.

"It's Kira!" Shinn shouted. Luna jerked her head towards the hill

"You're right. Let's go talk to him" Luna said. "I want to confront him about Lacus" Shinn said running off into Kira's direction. Luna didn't say anything she just followed him

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

Kira was still in deep thoughts about himself and Lacus. Kira didn't even notice anyone approaching him.

"Yo Kira" Shinn called out. Kira sat up and looked in the direction of the voice that was calling to him

"…Shinn?" Kira said. Shinn ran right up to where Kira was, Luna arrived right after Shinn

"What's wrong?" Kira asked. Shinn jerked his head up "you're asking me what's wrong?" Shinn said.

"Huh…"

"I heard from Cagalli that Lacus was back…" Luna said. Kira sighed "yeah I know"

"Well did you see her?" Shinn asked. Kira nodded "so what happen Kira?" Luna asked.

"Not much, but now I know why she left in the first place" Kira sighed. Luna jerked her head in disbelief "why did she …leave" she asked

"Sorry, I don't wanna talk about it" Kira sighed as he got up and walked began to walk away

"Kira?" Luna called out. Kira didn't respond, he just walked further and further away. "I wonder what Lacus' reasons were" Shinn asked.

"Good job Luna. You scared him away" Shinn said. Luna just gave a frown

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

"Perfect its right here" Athrun said as he held the statue within his hands. Cagalli sighed. "Alright buy it and let's go" Cagalli said. Athrun purchased it and they were off into the mall.

Athrun and Cagalli were about to leave when Athrun noticed someone that caught his attention. Athrun grabbed Cagalli's hand and quickly hid behind a large poll. Cagalli sighed "Athrun… what are we doing" Cagalli asked.

"Cagalli look" Athrun pointed. Cagalli looked over and saw Lacus, and this guy who had his arm around her shoulder. Cagalli's had jerked towards Cagalli. "I…" Athrun observed them as they walked into a clothing store.

"Cagalli, let's follow them" Athrun said. "My thoughts exactly, but I was thinking of something a bit more-" Cagalli's head jerked up again "Hey I wasn't done talking to you" Cagalli whispered but Athrun was already walking towards the store, Cagalli quickly followed.

Athrun went to the men section of the store, he immediately tried to look interested and picked out a shirt. "Athrun what are you doing?" Cagalli asked. "What does it look like" he said. From where they were they had a clear view of Lacus and the guy that was with her.

"Why didn't she mention anything about a guy?" Athrun asked. "I don't know" Cagalli said.

"More importantly, how come you never asked her anything about Kira?" Athrun said. Cagalli glared. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mention it because I was actually thinking if she didn't bring up then she wouldn't wanna talk about it!" Cagalli said sarcastically. "Why didn't you ask her about it?" Cagalli said.

Athrun hesitated before answering. "Well to tell you the truth I was taken back by her sudden impact of beauty-"Athrun teased. He suddenly got nudged in the head. Cagalli just glared. "I hate you" she said.

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

Kira walked into his residents, he through his clothes off and jumped into the shower. After that he threw on some fresh clothes and sat down on the couch and turned on his television. He flipped onto a channel that seemed to have a biography on Genius'. It seemed interesting, plus there wasn't really anything to watch on Sunday's anyways.

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

"Lacus that looks great on you, you look like a goddess!" Shawn proclaimed. Lacus blushed slightly

Cagalli's head jerked up "What the hell was that?" she whispered. Athrun nudged his head. "He had his arm around her shoulder before, I think it's pretty obvious she's in a relationship" he sighed.

"I think I'll get this one" Lacus said. Shawn smiled. "Is that all you want from this store?" Shawn asked. Lacus nodded her head "Actually I'm not really in the shopping mood today" Lacus sighed. "…okay" Shawn said.

Athrun looked at Cagalli. "Come on let's get out of here, I want to speak with Kira. Didn't you say he was trying look for her this mourning?" Athrun asked. "Yeah, I don't know if he found her though" she said.

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

Kira had fallen sleep on the couch with the television still running. Kira's sleep was suddenly interrupted by a door bell. Kira slowly got up as the bell rang continuously. Kira walked towards the door.

'Only Cagalli is this …annoying'

Kira unlocked the door, it was of course Cagalli, and she was with Athrun "…I heard it the first time" Kira was still half asleep. Cagalli smiled without a word to say. Kira left the door open to let them in and walked back to the couch. Cagalli and Athrun let themselves in and shut the door behind them. They joined Kira in the living room.

"So Kira did you find Lacus then?" Cagalli asked taking a seat right next to him. Kira flipped the channel before answering, his eyes remained fixed on the television

"…Yeah"

Athrun's head jerked up. "Kira… what happened?" he asked. Cagalli was getting the impression that it didn't end well.

"She told me why she left"

Cagalli's eyes widened. "Well…"

"Why did she?" she asked

"Apparently she was engaged since she was 14" Kira said. Athrun and Cagalli's mouths both hung open. "WHAT!" they both shouted.

"Her father had arranged it all. Her wedding is in less then a week away, that's what she told me" Kira lifted his head and took a deep breath. Kira looked over at the two and smiled "so when are you two going to get married?" Kira asked

They both blushed massively "Kira, are you really okay with this?" Athrun asked.

"Who said I was okay with this?" Kira asked. "Kira it's not too late. Don't give up yet you haven't lost" Athrun said.

"It's not that easy." He said.

"If course it won't be that easy, but you can't give up now" Athrun said.

"It's already too late. I've only been with her for 5 months, he's been with her for at least 2 years now"

"Kira, it was arranged. I saw Lacus wearing that bracelet remember. When Cagalli asked to see it, she refused to take it off. She said she never takes it off," Athrun said. Cagalli's head jerked up

"WHAT! KIRA GOT HER THAT!" Cagalli snapped.

Kira sighed. "Alright, let's say that she does still have feelings for me. I mean if she really did, she wouldn't have left in the first place, or she should have at least told me the truth from the start. She was already engaged when we started seeing each other. She lied to me from the start."

"K…Kira there has to be more to it then meets the eye." Athrun said. Kira jerked his head angrily at the two. "Is this what you guys came here to do?"

"…"

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

2 Days before the Wedding (Kira's residence)

"I know there's something still there. I can see it in you're eye's every time you look at me. Don't worry though, I won't stop you from you're special day" Kira said.

"Kira…I"

Kira looked at the invitation Lacus just handed him. He opened it and read it. After reading it he took in a deep sigh

"Please Kira, it would mean a lot to me if you …came" she said nervously.

"…I don't know" he said.

"Please…" she begged with tears falling down her face.

"Lacus, I love you" he said

"…Kira I…"

"Can you understand why I don't want to go?" he said.

"I understand you. You love and respect you're father a lot. It's understanding that you would follow his wishes and marry this guy. This is something I could never watch you go through though…I'd go insane if I saw." Kira lowered his head his eyes gazed at the bracelet he had gotten her. He reached out and gently grabbed her hand.

"Lacus why do you still wear this?" he asked. She avoided eye contact. She didn't answer, she didn't want to admit it to herself. She held the bracelet with her other hand and pressed it up against her chest. The reason she had the bracelet was clear as day. She still had feelings for him.

"Lacus are you sure you want to marry this guy?" he asked. She didn't answer him. There was nothing but silence. After about 2 minutes, Kira couldn't take it anymore. Kira sighed. He turned around and began walking away from her.

Almost as soon as Kira took his second step he felt her arms wrapped around his waist embracing him tightly from behind.

Kira was bewildered, he didn't know what to say or how to respond.

"Kira, I don't want to get …married" she cried

"I love you" she said. Kira turned around only to have her lips pressed up against his. Kira was a little stunned but quickly gave in, he returned the kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pushed in harder for a more passionate kiss. Kira placed his hands gently on her waist.

After about 2 minutes Kira slid his tongue into her mouth. Lacus did the same, both their tongues were being devoured. It was a moment's bliss. The heat between their bodies' left them both sweating, and struggling to breath. Kira reached down and put his hands under her thigh's, he instantly swooped her off her feet. He lifted her up high. Lacus slowly wrapped her legs around his waist.

Kira gently laid her down on the couch.

Kira pulled away slowly from the kiss. "Kira…I…love you. I don't want to get married" Tears began to fall from her face.

"Lacus run away with me…"

"What…" she said nerviously
