Chapter 2 - Prolog Part Two

'My name is Athrun Zala. I am 18 and I live in a mansion, all by myself. My father was Patrick Zala. My father, mother, and me all used to live in Raiton, a prosperous port city. That is, until it was attacked by...Pirates.

Manson and his crews of bastards. That's who I learned was responsible for my orphanage. He attacked my home and destroyed everything I used to know. My father died protecting the village. My mother died protecting me.

I managed to survive because I tripped and fell in a ditch, so don't think I'm a miracle child. When I came to, I met my fiancee and her father. They told me what had happened, just before I passed out again. Since that day, I've despised anyone who calls themself 'pirate.'

I now live in a new mansion, near Lacus Clyne's mansion. She is my fiancee. I live alone, with no one but me and my house help. It's been this way since that day. I now live in Heliopolis, another port city. It has been pirate-less for over 20 years.

For a long time, I had no friends. I only spoke when needed or to Lacus and her father. They became my new family almost. But it still hurt. Soon, I needed to speak, because I had to fill my father's shoes, so to speak. I still only spoke when needed.

Then, that day...2 years ago...

It was midnight, or close enough. It was raining, hard. There was a knock on my door and when the butler opened the door, a boy fell in. I was called down immediately.

He was half starved and ill from being in the rain. His brown hair was matted to his burning forehead and his lavender eyes were half-lidded. He was 16, like me.

The next morning, when he came to and had been fed, I questioned him. He didn't know how he'd ended up at my house, his sight blinded by the fever. His name was Kira Yamato and he had no family. When I checked out his records, there were none. It was almost as if he didn't exist...

His personality proved to be of a gentle and caring nature, much like Lacus only...different. I couldn't, and still can't, tell you what was different. But he had an aura about him that was...trust-able, likable, honorable.

He was there for less than a week and he'd already learned the layout of the house, the town, and Lacus's house. He found everything fascinating, especially the swords I kept in the study. They had belonged to my father and I kept them for show purposes.

When I told Kira what had happened to me, he seemed intrigued, and sad. Guilty almost. I told him not to feel sorry and he smiled at me. That's another thing. He smiled at the smallest things. Absolutely everything interested him. Everything made him happy. Unless you mentioned something that made anyone close to him sad.

If Lacus was sad, he was sad. If I was sad, he was sad. And at times, after I had retold him the story of Raiton, I would find him sitting alone in the study, staring at the sea. Whenever I went to comfort him, he just smiled again and told me not to worry about it. Sometimes...even that worried me.

I could tell he was hiding something. A lot of pain. A lot of guilt. A lot of...everything. But he never complained except about the small things. The water in the pool was too cold. The summer air was too hot, the winter was too cold. His hair was unkept, he was hungry because he skipped breakfast. Those types of things.

He never spoke much about himself, though many times I tried coaxing something out of him. Each time I tried to trick him into telling me, his eyes would glint and he'd get around it. Almost as if he'd tried the same trick on someone else, or had already had it played on him many times...Or both.

He was really acrobatic and I often found him lounging in some tree in mine or Lacus's backyard. Oh, Lacus. She took a fancy to him. It was obvious. After 2 months she was coming over more often and having conversations with him at least twice each visit.

I think he enjoyed Lacus's company too. Have them both in a room and you don't need lights. They both had a shining aura that lit up any room they were in. Kira seems to like her, but not like that. I think it's more of a sister-he-never-had type of thing.

But ignoring that. What I have to say doesn't deal with my parent's deaths, my lonely life, or his spending a year at my house. Or...maybe it does. What I have to say revolves around my hatred of pirates, awkward personalities and situations, and love and hate circulating everywhere. Of truth and lies, trust and betrayal, and of loyalty.

But mostly, it's just about the sea, the sun, and the air, and how destiny and fate can bring people together. To really put into words what I'm about to tell you, I'll quote my best friend...

'We'll go wherever we're taken. That's fate, that's destiny. That's...adventure.'

What I'm about to tell you, is what happened...when I learned Kira's past, and that he'd left it behind. When I learned he lived for the present, and looked to the future. This is what happened...when I learned Kira's biggest secret.
