Sorry for the wait everyone. I got caught up with other things. But I hope you like this Chapter. By the way I do not own Gundam SEED or any of its characters. So R&R!

Two days passed, since that day. Ichiru was still passed out from the incident. Was she ever going to wake up? Or did she just want to sleep it all away? Where was she anyway? Did ZAFT send more units out for her? Or did she get captured again? This was going to be found out when she woke up.

Soon waking up from her deep slumber, Ichiru rubbed her eyes as she sat up. The questions 'Where am I?' popped into her head. Her gray orbs scanned the room... She was back on the Archangel. Ichiru thought Nicol's death was only a bad dream. Ichiru saw a tray of food on a nightstand, and reached for it. She placed the tray of food on her lap, and began to eat slowly.

The food tasted like crap. Just like her ship's food tasted like. "Ships need better cooks," she murmured, chewing a piece of meat in her mouth. After eating the food she put the tray back on the nightstand and thought for a second. Jumping slightly to the sound of the door opening, Ichiru looked at the person who entered.

It was Kira. He looked at her kind of surprised that she was awake. She had been out for two days, straight. "I see your a little better now.." Kira said to her, the door closed behind him. He came over to a chair that was in the room and sat down on it. "What happened the other day?" asked the brown haired male.

Ichiru titled her head in slight confusion of what he was talking about. "I don't know what you mean," she replied to him. Kira shook his head slightly. "When the Blitz was destroy and your mobile suit fell to the ocean that's what I mean," Kira replied simply to her.

Now having woke up with an O.K mood went to a worried mood, Ichiru looked at him. "You must be pulling my leg Kira, the Blitz wasn't destroyed," she told him. Clenching a hidden fist, her mind raced. Maybe it wasn't just a dream, maybe.. maybe Nicol really did die? Ichiru looked at Kira with worried eyes.

Kira made one wild guess that the person piloting the Blitz was the person that Ichiru was engaged with. "I.. I didn't kill him..." Kira murmured, basically stating that Nicol was dead. Seeing tears already coming to her eyes, Kira placed a hand on her shoulder to try and comfort her. The water works already came. Kira made it so he was already sitting on the bed.

Ichiru cried. She couldn't speak, all those great times she had with Nicol... were taken away. Ichiru saw the ring on her finger, cried more. She soon embraced Kira. Kira looked shocked when she did this, but he guessed that she couldn't help it. She had just lost someone she loved. "Please don't do something stupid like that again... I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to you," Kira whispered into her ear, before wrapping his arms around her.

Ichiru heard what he said and still cried. Was it fate that Nicol was to be killed? Maybe...

After an hour or two of hearing her cry, Ichiru had fallen asleep in Kira's arms. Course Kira was still awake, but he didn't mind at least she wasn't crying anymore. Waiting for a few more minutes, Kira gently picked her up and placed her down on the bed. Soon walking over to the door, Kira looked back at the sleeping Ichiru then continued on. The door opened and closed in a matter of ten seconds.

Kira walked down the hall sighing slightly. Wait why was he sighing? Ichiru wasn't engaged anymore, since Nicol was dead. Inside Kira felt it was kind of wrong... Kira was daydreaming again, well more like thinking. Funny how when someone needed to turn and he or she were daydreaming and he or she would turn? Well Kira did this. He was heading for the cafeteria to get something to eat.

Soon coming to the cafeteria, Kira saw a ton of people he knew. There was Mwu, Miriallia, Tolle, Sai, and Flay. Flay immediately got up when she saw Kira enter the cafeteria and went to Kira. "Ki-" "Not now Flay," Kira said, cutting her off. He didn't want to hear her now. Flay looked pissed when she sat back down with the others.

Kira walked over to the counter where a tray was waiting for him. He picked it up and went to go sit beside Mwu and not the others. Even though it was rude not to say 'Hi' Kira didn't have time for them right now. Setting his tray down Kira looked at Mwu. Mwu just had a confused look on his face. "Why you sitting with me kid?"

"You need to apologize to Ichiru," Kira said to him. Mwu now was even more confused. "Why? I didn't do anything to hurt her... Or did I... Wait don't tell me... I killed the person she was engaged with in the last battle didn't I?" Mwu said, sighing. This was going to be hard. He didn't know how to apologize to her.

Mwu ate his food, thinking what he was going to say to her. He didn't want make her cry. "I don't know what I should say to her that won't make her cry," Mwu said, sighing. Mwu rubbed his head, thinking of what he should. Either way she was going to cry. "Well can't you say it for me?" Mwu asked the brown haired male.

Kira shook his head to Mwu. "You have to do it. I'm not the one who killed the pilot," Kira stated to him. Mwu let out a sigh. "Fine, I'll do it.. on one condition you are right behind me to comfort her," Mwu growl to Kira. All Kira did was nod his head. Soon waiting till the kid was done Mwu stood up and took his tray to the counter and waited for Kira.

Kira did the same, and was being eyed by Flay till he left the cafeteria.

Ichiru had awakened when Kira had left her. She was facing the wall, as she lay curled up in a ball. "Nicol..." she murmured, "Why did you have to go..." And with this Ichiru took the ring off her finger and place it on the night stand, and went back to her original state. Curled up in a ball. The more your try to forget someone... the more you remember. Tears rolled down the sides of her cheeks, as she just lay there. Wiping away her tears, Ichiru heard footsteps of people coming toward the door.

The door went open, and stood there was Kira and behind was Mwu. Mwu didn't even look to the her, just to the side. Ichiru was sitting up, her back leaning against the back of the bed. "I've brought someone..." Kira told her, soon glancing over to Mwu.

Mwu stepped forward; he let out a sigh and looked at Ichiru... "I.. I'm sorry about killing him... I didn't know..." Mwu said sadly, looking quickly to the ground now. It was hard to say that. Mwu soon left the room not wanting to her the sobs.

Ichiru just gripped the blanket, and tried so much to hold in her tears. "Dammit... dammit it all to hell!" she screamed. Tears followed down the sides of cheeks. She need to get all her rage out, it was all her fault that Nicol was dead. If she had been so careless he would've still been alive. But no! She had to get herself capture. Ichiru looked at Kira. "Go away!" she yelled at him.

Kira took a step back. He had never seen this side of her before. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to get Mwu to apologize to her. "Ichiru calm down.." he told her, taking a step forward. It was worth a try, though he doubted it would work. "Please... don't cry.. Please don't cry Ichiru.." Kira told her over and over again.

"How can I not cry Kira? How can I not be so rash!" she yelled at him, tears still coming her cheeks. She wanted something to throw at him, but before she knew he had embraced her once again. Kira held her close to him, even though she was struggling; he just continued to hold her. Her struggles soon stopped, as she just cried, nothing was ever going to change her... Nothing...

- ZAFT Ship -

Yzak punched the wall multiples of times. "Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!" he yelled. Well of course that's what you would expect something like that from good old Yzak. Why didn't the commander just send him out instead of Nicol? Then that silly little girl would've been saved, but no. The commander had to choose Nicol that coward to go and retrieve that girl.

"Yzak.. Clam down.." Dearka said, glancing to the side. Dearka on the other hand would just pay respect to the person not fight over it. He already missed teasing Nicol. The tanned male just looked to the Athrun who didn't speak.

"How can I clam down Dearka!" Yzak raged at him.

"Shut up Yzak..." Athrun said, looking into the locker, then closing it.

"What did you say Zala!"

"You heard me. I said shut up Yzak. Or do I need to speak up even louder!" Athrun retorted.

Athrun hated the thought that Nicol was dead and he was alive. It just didn't seem right to him. Here he had just lost a friend that meant so much to him. Well beside Kira. He wanted to do one last thing for Nicol and that's to get Ichiru back at all costs.

"Were going to get her back.. For Nicol our fallen comrade and friend," Athrun told the silver and blonde haired male, as he looked into there eyes. Then the two males looked at each and nodded their heads in agreement to Athrun's statement.

"Yes lets do this for Nicol!" The two males said together. It was the least they could do for him. After all, Ichiru was the one Nicol was going to get married to...

I don't know when I'm going to get the next chapter up. I'm doing this as a I go along, so ya. If you want to, submit ideas for what might happen in the next chapter. I hope to get the next chapter ASAP! So R&R!
