Kira glanced over at Cagalli who seem to be glaring at the ground. "Cagalli, you alright? You look… distracted." Cagalli looked up at him without emotion. Then just turned to look down again. What was that for?

Before anything else could happen Athrun charged through the door. He paused when he saw Cagalli. "Oh… it's you. Umm, Cagalli… I need to talk to you. You know what I'm talking about." Cagalli nodded. Kira felt the strange tension in the air and backed off a bit.

"I, uh… I have to go somewhere… Yeah, I think Lacus need me to help her with something again. I'll see you guys later, k?" With that, Kira took off before either of them could say another word.

The two stood there for a while, not sayinig a thing. Until Athrun finally broke the silense by speaking up, "Cagalli Yula Autha." He chuckled to himself. "I'm afraid you've got some explaining to do. Who exactly was that I saw with you the other day? And why the hell are you acting so squeamish about it? Is there something that I don't know? You shuold know by now that I'm not stupid. There's something going on and you're not telling me anything. Cagalli, you-"

"What is it with you, Athrun! Give a girl a break! I don't belong to you! I am NOT your property and you should know at least that much to not get involved in my personal things! Argh, you're really starting to piss me off!" Athrun stood there, mute. His eyes were empty voids, seeming to take in all the information and completely ignoring it. Then he smiled at her.

"Cagalli. Why?" Cagalli backed off a bit and started fildling with her fingers. Anyone who were to look at Athrun's deep glare at that moment would fall down in uncontrolable tears. She couldn't.. she couldn't look him in the eyes. When Athrun was about to say another word, the alarm sounded. Athrun cursed under his breath and ran off. Cagalli just stood there starring at his shadow as he turned the corner.

"Listen to him, Cagalli. Why? I'm so foolish... I didn't do anything.. why didn't i just tell him? Jeez, he should've at least stage and listened to what i had to say. Doesn't he even trust me?" She kicked off into a run, tears streaming out of her eyes. Just as she turned the corner, she ran into Flay. The two just stared at eachother for a moment, until Cagalli ran off again. Flay stared at her as she dissapeared.

When Cagalli finally came to her moblie suit, she climbed in through the opening and got herself ready. With everything adjusted, she looked strait forward and called for take off, "Strike Rouge, ready for take off." A familiar face apeared on the screen of the control in the gundam.

"Good luck, Cagalli." She said.

"Thanks, Mariella." Cagalli answered just before she was lifted through the doors. Three, two, one, take off! "Come on, Rouge, gimme all you got! Show them what a girl like me can do! Yeah!" Right away, she adjusted all the proper settings for the enviroment they were in. Which, aperently, was above an ocean. Oh great. Hights were bad. Here comes the water to make it just a bit worse than before! Cagalli sighed and got her gun ready to fire at one of the enemy's ships that were coming her way. Filled with confidence, she took a shot. Shocked she found the target to have missed, now it was heading strait her way. In an instant, she switched her weapon to sword.

Thanks, Kira. She thought to herself. He had been helping her on her skills with the Gundam the past week. Though, only the more basic of things such as how to confuse the oponent. Without Kira's help, she might not have made it. The shook those thoughts off before she could get distracted from the game and lose focus. Suddenly, the Gundam came right at her from out of nowhere. "Ahh!" She cried, before their swords colided with a large thump. They were so close, she could actually see the pilot. Suddenly, she heard her message flashing on her gundam. The voice wasn't coming out to her.

"Cagalli scratch it's me scratch remember? Look at me! It's me!" Cagalli looked up to see that the oponent was insane enough to open their gundam to her and show himself. She forced herself to focus on his form. Who was this? Suddenly, she saw him put his arms up in serender. Puzzled, she messaged Kira. "Kira, I'm going back. You guys take care of the rest, k? I have us a hostage."

"Alright, Cagalli. Careful, there's a distance back to the ship. Good luck." Cagalli nodded and took off, the other gundum following her obediantly. This was weird... who the heck was this guy? She still wasn't able to see his face properly. Maybe, when they got back to ship, she'd be able to see. Though, she didn't remember anyone from her past. In fact, she never even knew that other children exsisted until her father let her travel at age fourteen.'

Cagalli slowly let her gundam rest on the floors of the Arkangel. On the railings in front of it were the faces of the captian and other members of the crew. They must've overheard the news of a prisoner. As she stepped out of her gundam, she noticed the prisoner surounded by gaurds of the crew. She walked over to him. The guards told her not to come closer for her own safety, she declined and told them there was no need to worry.

When she finally made her way through, the young man looked her way and smiled at her. "It's you! Cagalli, you don't know how happy I am to see you!" He held out his hands to shake but she backed off a bit.

"Who are you?" She asked. Daisuke froze in place. His eyes stared at her, wide. he quickly smiled again and answered,

"Cagalli, c'mon, now's not the time to be joking. Remember? From when we were little. Cagalli, don't look at me like that. You don't mean... Cagalli, you forgot?" Cagalli had no idea what he was talking about, though she gently felt the sudden sorrow in his aura. "Heh. I must've been dreaming things when I thought you'd remember." He suddenly smiled again, but a little more forcefull. "Well then, Miss Cagalli Yula Autha. I hope that... you got what you wanted in life. Farewell." He winked at her before the guards took hold of him again and pushed Cagalli out of the way until she was finally out of the big circle.

Dazed, Cagalli found herslef just staring at the guards who were now wearing grim expresions. She only finally turned around when she noticed that the doors to the hanger were opening. Kira's gundam flew right in and landed safely inside. Her hair swaying, she stared up at the masive thing. Right after him, Athrun's gundam joinedat his side. Kira unbuckled and open the latch in his door. He had a worried look on his face, that calmed when he saw that Cagalli was ok.

He took off his helmet and flew down to her, since there was no gravity to make him fall. Cagalli still didn't seem to change her expression and stared at him. he finally landed right next to her and looked to be clearly worried.

"Cagalli, what exactly happened? Who did you get? How?" Cagalli still just stared at him. "Cagalli, snap out of it and answer me."

"I don't know..." She answered, deep in thought. She pushed her hair out of her eyes so she could look him in the eye. "Kira, this is scaring me. The guy said he knew me! Not just that, he willingly surendered under no force! Then he comes here, saying that he's some childhood friend of mine, and that I should know him! Kira, I swear... when i told him i didn't, the guy's spirit seemed to vannish in an instant... Kira, I don't know him, but i fear that maybe i should."

Kira stared at her before thinking things over. Finally, he broke the silense and answered, "Cagalli, you don't have to worry about things like that. It's ok. The fact that he knows you might be odd, but at least now we can question him about the enemy's plan and find some secrets. Maybe, later we can talk about this more clearly, ok?" Cagalli nodded, still feeling a little unsure about it all.

Kira's attention rose to Athrun, who had suddenly apeared behind him. Cagalli only glanced over at him before turning around and walking away without another word.

Athrun stared at her as she walked off, not saying a thing. His gaze finally came over to meat Kira. "What was that all about?" He asked. Kira just shook his head and answered,

"Cagalli managed to get us a prisonor. Stop being so hard on her, Athrun." Athrun glared over at Kira and stalkedd out of the room, slamming the door behind him. Kira, now being alone, sighed and went out of the hanger as well.

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

Cagalli walked through the hall, confused and unsure. She wrapped her arms around herself for comfort. As she walked past Kira's room, she noticed how things were neat but still strangely organized. She smiled, her brother was very different than she. When she heard footsteps behind her, she turned around. The lights were all off except for the ones coming from the kitchen. She noticed a shadow on the wall ahead just by the curve. She just ignored it, not wanting to talk to anyone at the moment and kept moving past the rooms.

Then she walked up to Toll's old room. She remembered him, though he was avery faint picture. She had only known him for a while when she first came here. Though do to unfortunate events Toll had to sacrifice his life during a battle. Staring down at the empty bed, she pictured a smiling, detirmined soul. She only wished she had known him more. He must've been so unique and special. She had seen that when she saw Merialla's tears, the way her eyes had seemed souless the day he left. She closed her eyesand pictured a laugh. It was faint, but so soothing. A tear escaped her eye, and her lips began slightly quivering. How many souls have been lost to this war? How many more will?

She opened her eyes to find herself lying on the empty bed. She sighed and straitened, rubbing the tears out of her eyes. There was no need to mourn over the dead.. nothing good ever came of that. She inhaled a deep breath and let it go as she got up to leave the room. The lights were still off, yet she found comfort in the darkness and moved down the hallway gracefully. She stopped once again to gaze into another room.

Thenshe saw someone in there, sitting on the bed with a laptop.She looked around the room, and noticed everthing was organized and.. normal. Like Kira's room, but more natural.She searched through deeper and found a picture frame which looked to have a woman standing in it. Then the person sitting there looked up at her.She noticed who it was. He just stared at her, curious. His eyes searching hers.She guessed he noticedshe had been crying.She looked back into his loving eyes but dared herself to look away.

Hercuriousity lost,Cagalli turned to run away.She heard him callingher name distantly once he realizedshe had run off. She ignored it.She paused to gasp for a breath, and fell down toher knees.She shookher head over and over. Why wasshe doing this? What was wrong with her? Wasshe going insane?She cried at the thought.She felt so lonely at that moment. Thenshe heard a distant, soothing voice nearby.She looked up to notice that someone was staring at her. He gently reached his arm through the bars and comfortedher trembling shoulder. "Hello, little girl." He smiled ather to makeher tears go away. She felt like such a baby right then. "Why are you crying?" He asked, so gentle.

Cagallididn't answer. "It's ok, I'm here. Don't be afraid. Hey, my I ask your name? Mine's Ausrin, you?"

"Cagalli." I looked away, not really caring anymore.

"Cagalli? It's you? I... I didn't notice. I'm... I mean, nice to meat you."She stared at him, a little confused at what he meant, but smiled. "Well, Cagalli, what are you doing up on such a calm night? Something wrong?"She sighed and sat down next to him but in front of the bars, leaning back.

"Nothing's wrong, I'm just not in the mood to sleep, is all." he paused andshe noticed him gazing ather hand.

"So many things we coordinators can do. We get blamed for them all, even though we don't attempt the crime. We are cursed for life with our abilities." He reached out forher hand and held it up, playing withher fingers. He held it up in front of her. "So much you can do with this hand. You can kill me right now if you wanted. Though, us coordinators get extra blame for it all. Why is it ok for Naturals to use their lovely little hands, while ours are shackled behind our backs, beaten, or cut off?" He held out his hand next to her, comparing it. "Does it look any different? Look at your hands, and mine. How is it different? Nothing's different about it. It's all in the head. Because of what we were born as, they see us as different. They look at us with eyes of hate. Any natural would look at my hands and whisper behind their backs, 'their parents did a very good job at building that one. Must've chose this one had to be more of an angel than the other one.'" He paused for a moment and heldher hand tight aain, looking intoher eyes.

ThenCagalli heard footsteps andher heart froze. Standing in the door way, breathless and shocked, was her love Athrun. Staring ather with a look of confusion. Ausrin noticed and lether hand go, standing up. He gaveher a pat on the back before standing up.She stood up as well, looking Athrun in the eyes. Suddenly, a look of rage flashed through his beautiful dreamy eyes. His loving Athrun eyes.

"Cagalli..." He said, still staring at her.

"Athrun Zala, good to see you."She challenged and walked up to him. "Good night, Athrun Zala."She walked past him and through the halls.She heard Athrun crashing into the bars of the cell in whichshe had leaned against a moment ago.She heard yelling slightly inher head, but tried not to listen.She had done nothing. What was wrong with Athrun? She heard a shriek and turned around right away to run back. Afraid to see what might've happened, she caustiously walked in the room.

Blood. Everywhere. THe was just sick, the last thing she saw was blood red everywhere, until black overwelmed her.
