Chapter 3
Divided Paths (re-written)
Summary-What if Kira was a girl? Just some episodes of Gundam Seed and Destiny that I rewrote. They are pretty much the same with only a few changes
Disclaimer- I don't own Gundam Seed/Destiny
"What the hell do they think their doing?" Kira shouted as she went down to Mu. She was mad….no that wasn't right, she was furious.
"I understand that your up set….." Mu started but was cut off by a raging Kira.
"Of course I'm upset! I didn't rescue her so she could be taken hostage! She is a civilian!" Kira shouted her chest rising up and down with suppressed rage.
"The only reason we would resort to this is because were weak." Mu said honestly.
Kira said nothing just let the commander float ahead of her. Kira was in shock mostly, not because of what happened but of how Athrun had reacted.
Flashback
"What monsters you are!" Athrun shouted over the communicator sending a cold chill down Kira's back.
"Using a civilian as hostages…..do you still feels justified fighting along side these COWARDS?" Athrun asked his voice like ice.
Kira didn't respond. 'They lied! They said they wouldn't hurt use her.' Kira thought in her head.
"KIRA!" Athrun yelled again when he got no reply.
"Athrun…I" Kira didn't finish what could she say?
"I'm going to rescue her! That's a promise." Athruns voice came suddenly dark and lacking emotion.
Kira flinched she had never heard Athrun use that voice and never wanted to hear it again
End Flash back
Kira sighed and made her way to the locker room to get out of her flight suit.
Kira started walking towards the hostages' room; she really wanted to apologize for what happened.
The door opened with a low hiss, and Kira stepped into the plain room.
"Oh hello Miss Yamato!" a melody voice called.
"Hello Lacus." Kira said her head hung down shamefully.
"Is something the matter?" Lacus asked with wide innocent eyes.
Kira suppressed a laugh she remembered that was the way she looked at her when she first told her that she was a prisoner on the ship.
Flashback
"You really need to stay in your room." Kira said ushering the other girl into the room.
"Must I stay in this room? It's not much fun." Lacus pouted.
"Yes, you must stay here. Even though you are a civilian your father is part of ZAFT so you are pretty much a prisoner until they can find out what to do with you." Kira answered honestly.
"A prisoner?" Lacus asked with wide innocent eyes.
"Yeah." Kira said not meeting the other girls' eyes.
"But aren't most prisoners mistreated?" The pink haired girl asked.
"What?" Kira asked not quite sure what the other was asking.
"So far you have been very kind to me. I was under the impression that prisoners were not treated with kindness."
"Oh well…um…you see I also happen to be a coordinator." Kira said fiddling with the bottom of her uniform skirt.
"I can see the reason that you are kind is because you are you." The songstress replied smiling.
End Flashback
"No nothing is the matter; I just wanted to apologize for what happened. I never wanted you to be used in such a way." Kira said her voice soft.
"Rest assures I do not blame you for what happened. It is unfortunate yes that it had to come to that, but I am sure that the Earth Forces wouldn't have done it unless it was necessary." Lacus said and continued playing with her little pink toy.
Kira smiled for some reason the toy reminded her of Tori her robotic bird.
"That's an interesting object." Kira said looking at the bouncing ball of pink.
"Yes his name is Mr. Pink, Athrun made him for me." Lacus smiled.
"Athrun? Athrun Zala?" Kira took a shot but felt stupid, what were the odds that it would be the same person.
"Yes Athrun Zala, do you know him?" Lacus asked her voice brimming with curiosity.
Kira was shocked, "Oh um yes I do when we were little. He made me a robotic bird named Tori." Kira explained.
"How nice, where you to friends?"
"Yes, when we were little." Kira said she didn't know if their friendship still counted with them as enemies. "How do you know him?"
"Athrun Zala is the man I will eventually be marring." Lacus said still smiling even if it faltered for a moment.
"Oh I see." Kira whispered. She felt a pain of hurt and jealousy arise in her heart for a moment. 'What's wrong with me, me and Athrun are just friend…..maybe not even that anymore. Why should I mind if he is engaged to another girl?' Kira thought shaking her head.
"Are you alright? You seem flustered about something?" Lacus asked with concern.
"No I'm alright. I have to be going know though and I am sorry for what happened." Kira said and hurried out the room before Lacus could get another word in.
Kira took a deep breath and locked the door hoping it would hold this time.
Flashback
Kira ran down the hallways as fast as her legs would carry her. They were entering a battle and she needed to get to the Strike as soon as possible. Her long hair that was tied into a high ponytail was whipping across her face as she took a sharp turn.
She was about just in front of Lacus's room when the door opened.
"Hey!" Kira said skidding to a halt.
"What's going on? Everything is suddenly so lively around here." Lacus asked in a sweet voice.
"We are about to enter combat, or that is we are already engaged in combat." Kira said placing a hand on her hip.
"I see…..will you be fighting to Miss Yamato?" Lacus asked with interest.
Kira looked at Lacus but then smiled. "No more excuses for leaving your room ok. What is wrong with the lock system for this door?" Kira said. Then ran off towards the bridge.
End Flashback
Hallway
"HEY KIRA!" and angry voice called from down the hall.
"Oh no." Kira sighed as an angry Flay Allster stomped her way towards her.
"What do you want Flay?" Kira asked with a bored expression.
"I want an apology!" Flay shouted pointing to her nose that was wrapped in bandages.
"I will not apologize! You deserved it! You had no right to talk to Lacus that way or insult coordinator!"Kira shouted back at the read-head.
"How dare you! I did nothing wrong! You viscously attacked me!" Flay protested her hair flying everywhere as she shook her head.
"That's not how I remember it!" Kira shouted.
Flashback (A/N Please forgive me but they are necessary.)
"I don't want any of you coordinators acting friendly with me!" Flay shouted in Lacus face.
Everyone was shocked at the sudden outburst. No body dared to say anything, nor do anything. The silence was broken however when a fuming Kira stomped over to Flay and punched her right in the nose.
"AAAAAAAHHHHH!" Flay shrieked causing everyone to flinch as their poor eardrums were inflicted with the loud high-pitched noise.
"Don't you dare talk to her or anyone like that? No one deserves it! She did nothing wrong! Oh and in case you forget, I AM A COORDINATOR!" Kira shouted shocking everyone but no one dared approached the angry brunette. (A/N I know very un-Kira like but I really wanted to put that in there. Anyways girls fight more than guys so I don't think it's to out of character)
"Come on, I'll take you back." Kira said in her angelic soft voice. Her eyes were no longer pulsing with anger, and had returned to a gentle amethyst. They left leaving a crying Flay on the floor.
AS Kira and Lacus walked down the hallways, Lacus broke the silence.
"Thank you."
"No problem"
"My name is Lacus Clyne. What's yours?"
"Kira, Kira Yamato."
Lacus smiled and so did Kira.
End Flashback
"I don't care I still want an apology! You broke my nose!" Flay screamed.
"Well then you should think twice before you insult people!" Kira snapped and walked away form a screaming snarling Flay.
3 hours later
Kira was restless. She couldn't stand this any longer. Finally having enough she got up and went to Lacus's room.
Lacus's Room
The door opened with a low hiss. Kira stepped into the dark room only to be spotted by Mr. Pink.
"Sshh be quiet." Kira said to the chattering toy.
"Miss Yamato?" Lacus asked stirring form the bed.
"Sshh Lacus please don't make a sound and come with me." Kira said holding her hand out to the other girl on the bed.
Hallways
Kira and Lacus quickly made their way through the halls.
Kira turned around the corner only to see Sai and Mir standing not to far away. She quickly shoved Lacus behind the corner and leaned against the wall.
"Kira?" Sai asked.
Kira smiled but it went away as Lacus poked her head around the corner.
Sai and Mir were shocked to see her. "What's going on?" They both said together.
Kira hung her head for a moment but then looked at them in the eyes.
"Please, pretend that you didn't see us……I just can't let this go one any longer!" Kira said her eyes determined.
"We'll help" Sai said and they all made there way to the locker rooms.
Vesalius
Athrun wasn't currently pacing the length of his room. He was deeply worried for Lacus.
She was after all his fiancée. Though he wasn't sure if it was love that he felt towards her. Well at least not the love a husband should feel towards his wife.
'I hope she is alright.' Athrun thought. He had a they had discussed not to long ago what should be done but unfortunately there was no guaranteeing her safety if they attacked so they we're forced to stay put.
'They wouldn't harm her, she is a civilian.' Athrun tried to convince himself.
'After all Kira is a civilian, and they didn't hurt her…..well not that I am aware.' Athrun thought but soon frowned.
"No they won't hurt Kira not while she's protecting them." Athrun growled under his breath. He had convinced himself that the EA was just using Kira as a shield, sense they were to weak to defend themselves.
"Cowards!" He hissed and began his pacing again.
Athrun was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't here the door open.
"Hey Athrun!" Nicol called walking over to his friend sense the artificial gravity was on.
"Yeah?" Athrun said a little more harshly than he wanted.
"The Strike pilot says that he will return Miss Clyne only if you are the one to receive her!" Nicol said seriously.
Athrun had a look of pure shock that melted into a small smile.
"Very well then." He said and went towards the hangers.
Space (A/N or universe whatever)
Kira was waiting patiently with Lacus. She had just sent the message to the enemy ship and was waiting for Athrun to arrive.
"Do you fight in this often?" Lacus asked out of no where.
"Umm yeah once or twice." Kira said not wanting to get into details.
"So you are soldier then?" Lacus asked again her smile falling.
"No I'm not a soldier just a volunteer." Kira said honestly.
Lacus didn't say anything just gave a small smile.
Kira took a deep breath. She was starting to wonder if she was going to be able to keep her promise to her friends.
Flashback (A/N last one I promise, I'm starting to get tired of them to)
"Kira you'll come back right?" Sai asked.
"What?" Kira asked not sure what Sai was asking.
"You'll be coming back right? Back to us?" Sai asked he voice serious but his face pleading.
Kira smiled. "Of course I will, that's a promise."
Then Kira closed the hatch of the cockpit.
"You know I believe you Kira!" Sai shouted as Kira and the Strike launched.
End Flashback
Kira saw the Aegis approach and took aim just in case Athrun tried something not that she thought he was going to.
"Open your cockpit!" Kira said over the communicator.
Both hatches opened revealing the to pilots and one songstress.
"Say something." Kira said to Lacus after a moment of silence.
"Hmmm?" Lacus asked confused.
"He can't see your face from here. He has to be convinced that it is really you."
"Oh. Hello Athrun it is very nice to see you again!" Lacus called.
Athrun smiled. "I confirm its Lacus."
"Then prepare to receive her!" Kira shouted and gave Lacus a push towards Athrun.
Athrun got out of the Aegis and helped Lacus. The said nothing for a moment until Lacus turned to Kira.
"Thank you very much Miss Yamato! I hope to see you again soon!" Lacus called. She considered Kira a good friend and was sad to see her go.
Athrun merely started a Kira. Though he could not see her face he knew it was the same brunette from Helopolis.
"Kira you come along with us to!" Athrun called desperation almost in his voice.
"Athrun?" Kira was surprised but also glad. In a small way she was hoping Athrun would offer her to join him, but with out her the Archangel would be a sitting duck.
"There isn't any reason for you to remain with the Earth Forces! You belong with us!" Athrun called noticing Kiras hesitation.
Kira bowed her head trying to compose herself.
"Athrun please believe me when I say I wish I didn't have to fight you, you're the last person in the world I would want to fight against. But on that ship are people who I feel obligated to protect……MY FRIENDS ARE ON THAT SHIP!" Kira shouted tears falling into the anti-gravity of her helmet.
Athrun flinched when she heard Kiras voice crack. He knew she was crying but could do nothing about it. Feeling his own tears of sadness forming he pushed them back with his anger that was boiling over.
"So I guess there is no other choice. The next time we meet I will show you no mercy!" Athrun shouted his body shaking slightly.
Kira managed a bitter smile. "And I'll do the same."
They both left to their respected war-ships. They were enemies again, and next time they would use everything they had to shot the other down.
A/N OMG! I wrote this in like a few hours and it is the longest chapter so far (wipes sweat form her brow) I apologize for any spelling or grammar. I am terrible at both; even though I got several of my friends to check it over I doubt it will be much better. Since all my friends have failed their English courses at least once! And I failed it in grade 9. Hope you enjoyed it. Oh and no I didn't forget about Flays dad dieing I just decided to make it happen after Lacus leaves. It will most likely be in the next chapter!
A special thanks to all who reviewed. I will love you all forever!
Please review and till me what you think!
Love it?
Hate it?
I don't care what the comment as long as I know people are reading!
