A/N: Sorry I'm being very irresponsible by updating at a very late time. Please accept my humblest apology. Gomen!
Miriallia felt like suffocating under pressure of the tension in the room. She squirmed uneasily under the silence. She took a small timid peek at Cagalli who was sitting across her. The blonde had her head down but it was not impossible to know how she felt. Waves of anger and disappointment rolled off her skin and every wave made her feel guilty. Flashback
Miriallia bowed one last time at Yakashi before she exited the room and into the hallway. She paused only to take a look at the door. She shuddered inwardly. Miriallia was about to move away when a cold laugh rang in the room. The laugh that chilled her to the bones. Miriallia felt puzzled. The laugh was in a higher pitch than Master Yakashi's. This laugh belonged to a female. Curious, she pressed her ear onto the door hoping to hear more of what was the commotion inside the room.
"Hahahahaha Yakashi it's simply ingenious! The little wench will pay for doing this to my clan." The same voice said.
"Of course Lady Marionette." Miriallia felt shock pulsing through her body at Master Yakashi's voice.
"Getting her heartbroken by tipping of that Campbell girl is wondrous. Not only that, turning her only shoulder for comfort against her is simply going to break her soul into tiny little pieces. Thereafter, we are going to swoop in for the kill! Hahahahahahaha!" the woman's voice said in fake sadness. Miriallia stilled she was shocked speechless.
Unwilling to find out more of the horrendous plot, Miriallia turned and ran. She ran out of the hallway and into the Main Hall. She collided into another person. Looking up, Miriallia only saw two sad, anger-filled and disappointed eyes. Amber eyes. The amber eyes of Cagalli Yula. The kunoichi who betrayed the Purple Blossoms. Her friend. Miriallia opened her mouth to ask of her appearance. But a wave of dismissal stopped her. Miriallia hoped that she did not know of her purpose being here. Their walk home was in the company of silence.
End of FlashbackMiriallia wasn't stupid. She knew that Cagalli found out of her mission and that was what Miriallia was afraid of. The Cagalli she knew would have blown her top than stay quiet … Maybe the break up with Athrun made her lose a few marbles? Not possible… Cagalli's voice broke her out of her own thoughts. Miriallia dared a small peek at her face. The blonde's ambers eyes were focused on her with such intensity that Miriallia bent her head.
"Why?" Cagalli asked, her amber eyes betrayed no emotion as she spoke in a harsh whisper.
"I… I had to… He gave me no room for any arguments…" Miriallia stammered nervously.
"I suppose so. Even so… why would you betray me?" Cagalli asked again her eyes still focused on Miriallia's head.
"Cagalli you are a kunoichi too! Surely you remember how he would have dealt with me if I declined," Miriallia replied indignantly raising her eyes to meet amber ones.
"Listen Cagalli, I was stalling time for you too! With me pacifying him, you would be safe. You would be alive! Please understand Cagalli! I did it for your sake!" Miriallia continued before Cagalli could reply. Cagalli stared bewilderedly at Miriallia then lowered her head.
"I know you are still hurting over the break up with Zala. But that doesn't mean everyone you know will turn their backs on you!" Miriallia reasoned, desperately wringing her hands out. Then, she noticed Cagalli's shoulders shaking slightly. Miriallia stared at the figure of the blonde before realizing that the blonde was breaking down. She moved towards Cagalli ready to comfort her when a chuckle infiltrated her senses. Huh? Miriallia thought, her eye brow quirking upwards. Then Cagalli started laughing at Miriallia, who was, still confused.
"Miriallia, we lived together for 18 years. As comrades, friends and sisters. Our bond is strong. I know you. You would never betray me. I was just making use of my acting skills." Cagalli explained to an outraged Miriallia.
"What! You idiot!" Miriallia exclaimed as she tackled Cagalli to the ground.
Dearka stared at the man in front of him.
"Are you sure you're Athrun?" he asked suspiciously.
"Yes! Now let me in!" Athrun said his eyes flashing in annoyance.
Dearka studied Athrun across his coffee table. His usual prefect blue hair was sticking out in places, his flawless complexioned had a grayish tinge in it; his green eyes were a little blood-shot, a few days worth of stubble worked its way on his chin. And his breath?
"Want a breath-mint? It smells liketrash." Dearka asked helpfully.
"I just need a place to stay." Athrun said.
"Why? Your perfect girlfriend's stalking you?" Dearka asked his a hint of amusement.
"How... Never mind… Please? She's driving me crazy! Athrun is my hair nice? Is this dress nice? Oh, look at me! Is there anything new you see?" Athrun imitated.
"In short you broke up with her and she started stalking you. The almighty chairman of Plant." A voice said laughter in his voice.
"Yzak? You evil place stealing attempter. Why are you here?" Athrun asked.
"Nice to see you too! You wreak of a chairman." Yzak replied dryly.
"So, you want to clean up?" Dearka asked stepping in before things get rough.
"Yeah… I look, feel and smell like shit." Athrun said. The moment he went into the bathroom, Yzak plopped down on the seat beside Dearka and sipped his tea.
"He is going bananas over a girl." Yzak said simply.
