Archive 001: My name… is Kira

'Dear Diary, today is a special day for me, for today is my first day in a new school, a city school to be exact. Since I'm a country girl, I'm kinda nervous, especially to the number of vehicles- they are really many kinds and numbers of vehicles here in Zion City, as compared to our farm in Nivane City- the only vehicles I see are the car, tractor and combine harvester- well, a few of them actually. Well anyways, I have picked the proper dress, a cream- colored blouse and knee- high skirt, my nicest set of underwear- my "battle panties" to be exact, all the things I need for the first day.'

"Kira, time for breakfast!" a voice came from somewhere- downstairs.

'Oh, sorry for the sudden cutoff, but I promise that I'll update you later…'

"Okay... I'm coming down mom!" a shoulder- length brunette girl replied to the voice from downstairs.

"Good morning Kira…" a male voice came in as the girl named Kira went down.

"Good morning father… how are things?"

"I was about to tell that with your mom, come on sit down."

"What was it you're about to say Seiji dear?" the voice that called Kira down came in again from the kitchen- a woman, a long brunette.

"As I was saying, I've heard that the next crop's seeds have arrived from Luna fleet… so I came and checked on them- and they were right, they were of the best quality. I hope this event makes our harvest more productive… only our farm is below the others- we can only dish out the average in plant matter but we rank top in animal foodstuffs…"

"You know dear, some things are meant to be self- balancing- we excel in one thing while we fail in another…" Kira's mother replied.

"I see… well then, how's the chancellery? I heard that the chancellor is still grieving the loss of Eldeon 4…"

"Two million, five hundred sixty- three thousand, four hundred and twelve in all… that's too much of a number…"

Despite this, Kira just munched on. A while later…

"Kira, hurry up! I'm leaving without you!" Kira's mother yelled from outside.

"Oh come on Ai dear, it's her first day of school here in Zion, it's not like we're in Junon Polis…" Seiji replied.

"That's exactly my point dear- I still need to board a shuttle to take me to Junon 1 you know…"

"But you know that the chancellor himself takes a shuttle to take him here to Junon 2 you know… and add the fact that he might be our daughter's history teacher at that…"

"Well he does teach at Zion-2 High… leaving me to do the paperwork… ohh I hate the unlimited reelections one can have in the colony government…"

"Sorry to keep you waiting mom…" Kira suddenly appeared before her parents.

"Well then, everything set? Bag?"

"Check…"

"Books?"

"Check…"

"Clothing?"

"Check… check… check…" Kira spoke as tapped her blouse, skirt and shoes. "Check… and check…" she then continued in a somewhat deep and lusty voice, tapping her chest and waist- her underwear she was talking about- her mom winked.

"Charms?"

"Double check!" Kira winked that reply.

Moments later…

"Take care dear…" Ai waved to her husband as she started up the car and began to drive out of the street and into the road.

The car sped on effortlessly, thru the virtue of it levitating above the road surface.

"Okay Kira, you know the bus stop to ride going to school, but since you're still coping with the city, I'll give you a map of the entire city- and I had the house as the primary beacon, so you can find your way back just in case."

"Thanks mom…" the girl spoke with a hint of anxiety.

"Nervous?"

Kira nodded.

"Don't worry, each of us has to go thru that kind of thing… you'll get used to it- all of us had."

"Yes, its true mom… yes, it's true." Ai's child could only reply as she looked up at the artificial clouds which sometimes let the other parts of the city show thru from time to time- after all, this is a space colony.

Minutes later, Zion-2 Public High School- one of the best schools in Zion City, Junon 2 Colony. The car stops in front of the gate, earning some looks from students, particularly boys as she stepped out.

"Whoa… never seen her before…" one commented.

"Take care honey… and be on your guard." Ai reminded her daughter, pointing to the boys that were looking this way.

As the car began to move, the rear antenna deployed and a flag lit up, barely showing the seal of the vice chancellor as she sped off. And so Kira Yamato her walk towards the school building's front door, where someone was waiting for her.

"And you must be Kira Yamato…" the person, a male greeted her. "I'm the principal, Herbert Schumelmann."

Moments later, Classroom 1-A, the door opens, and the students look at who came in- someone new- mostly boys.

"Hey, would you look at that…" one male classmate whispered. "She's a new one…"

"Pretty cute I should say…"

"Cute? More like hot! She's an A!"

"A? More like an AA!"

And so the boys begin to fight over what ranking she should have as she sat down.

'Dear Diary, now I continue my entry for this day… and boy, I was right in doing it- being sweet sixteen is really a problem- I have boys fighting over me in the first day alone. If this keeps up then what, protection groups? Come to think of it, this is the first time I've had this kind of treatment- well being a country stranger does help in charm… hehehehehe.'

"Hey there…" a girl's voice suddenly cut her thoughts. "Hi…"

"Hi there…"

"That's the first time I've seen them boys fight over one thing… By the way, I'm Rei, Rei Le Creuset…" the long, golden- haired girl introduced herself.

"Kira… Kira Yamato…" the newbie introduced herself. "Nice to meet you miss Rei…"

"Oh please, no formalities here… and by the way, the only boy…" Rei then replied and pointed to the only boy who had not looked at Kira the whole time- beside her seat. "That did not stand up is that guy- Char Aznable… his name is a bit archaic, but cool… though he's too silent."

The white- haired lad lowered his book, looked at the two for a bit and the nodded before returning to his read.

"Hey, your name sounds archaic too; maybe you're interested in joining the history club…"

"History club?"

"Yes! It's one of the coolest clubs here, because you get to learn much more than the history lessons in school- even the seniors join it. And they say that our history is much more than what is thought…"

"Hmm… maybe I can have a go at it- my mom did say to get used to school here."

"Okay then girl, after class then."

'Dear Diary, as I was saying, I think that school here in the city will be fun- already I have boys fighting over me and that I already I have a new friend- maybe. Well, got to go now, for my new teacher is here already- tons of introductions and such…'

Three hours later- Lunch time. Kira was about to stand up to get her lunchbox when suddenly, one of the boys approaches and presents her with a sweet roll.

"Hey there, want to have lunch with me?"

"Uhm…"

"How about me then?" another came up.

"Hey I was here first!" sweet roll guy replied.

"Oh yeah? Well then, you're too normal for her taste…"

"Why you little…"

As that scene begun in a war of possession, Kira's seatmate Char did the only logical thing- grabbed her by the arm and shoved her out of the room- before bowing an apology as he closed the door.

"Hey, what did you do that for Aznable!" some of the boys complained in the classroom as Kira went off. "You're gonna get it!"

Up on the roof deck…

"Ugh… now this is a problem." Kira sighed as she looked out into the city- the school was situated on a hillside so it was kind of panoramic. "Wait a minute…"

Then a chime rang in her head- it was her…

"Lunchbox! I forgot my lunchbox in the room!" she then screamed. "Oh no… I don't have any cash to pay for meals here… what should I do?"

"Hey girl!" Rei, who had just arrived, yelled at her. "If you're worrying about food- don't worry about it- this is public school, so there's free food… I should have known that you were one of those private school fellows… I could have told you that much earlier- and I've heard from Char what happened. Come on… it's so not nice to eat alone you know…"

In the staff room, Principal Schumelmann was having a conversation with one of the teachers- the high school history teacher, a guy by the name of Jamie Ramius.

"I can't believe that the Vice Chancellor's daughter is studying in this very school. Why don't you greet her then?"

"She already knows me as her second period history teacher- so that's fine with me. And luckily no one knows the real name of the Supreme Chancellor of the Hearts… no need for further introductions- simply either Chancellor Ramius if I'm appearing in public- since I had a twin before (may he rest in peace) or Sir Jamie here in school… that is all- no one needs to know."

"Well then your grace… better get going for your classes- or else I would have to fire you…" the principal spoke with a bit of sarcasm.

"Lunch has only begun principal…"

"Oh… I am getting old…"

Back at the roof, Kira was now enjoying some melon bread.

"Yummy… I really love melon bread, especially with the outside crispy and the inside fluffy- soft." The girl can only say over and over as she munched thru her third pack.

"Kira… I'm a bit worried and such… melon bread does pack in lots you know…"

"I know that… but no matter how much I eat, I simply expend that energy quickly." Kira spoke as she stood up and began to dance around. "I don't know why but… I always love to move in a fast…"

Her words were cut as the door, which she was passing by, opened. Someone suddenly bumped into her and lost her balance, eventually landing her on the person's arms.

"Hey, you could have hurt yourself you know!" the person who caught Kira spoke out loud- a guy.

"So?"

"Hey, what are you anyway!"

"I'm just an ordinary girl… hi, I'm Kira, and you are?" the girl replied, with all the cuteness she can muster- it had an effect.

"Uhm… just an ordinary boy…"

And with those words he left the scene, and make Rei speechless.

"Whoa… I can't believe it…" Rei finally broke out of her bewilderment. "Him… running from a girl."

"What's to believe? Him?"

"He's Lake Klein… one of this school's hottest guys- I'm not one of his fangirls though I constantly check on him to put in the school magazine, the Terminal. And be assured that your fanboys will be asking me for your info, I would have to comply later on."

Kira sweated a drop as Rei simply laughed evil. Later after dismissal, Rei had dragged Kira towards the history club room.

"Well, well, well… looks like one of the topics walked in…" the club adviser, none other than their history teacher spoke as the two came in- a bit late.

"Topics?" Kira thought as she looked at the lightboard (a futuristic blackboard- so sue me).

"Kira Yamato, Athrun Zala and Shinn Asuka, who are they? GUNDAM- What is it?" were the contents of the board.

"Okay class, seems we have a visitor, would you kindly introduce yourself then." Teacher Ramius then spoke.

"My name is… Kira, Kira Yamato…"

"Well then Miss Yamato, can you give me your views on your ancestral namesake?"

"Uhm… in my opinion, even my parents say that I look like him… but I wonder, can I do the things he did in his lifetime?"

"That is for you to find out young lady…"
