Chapter 17

What's Wrong?

Summary- What if Kira was a girl?

Disclaimer- I don't own Gundam Seed/Destiny

Kira woke up early that morning. She was one of the few members on the ship who was away aside from those who had shifts.

Kira walked the corridors not heading to anywhere unparticular, she was just enjoying some time to herself. She wasn't able to just think by herself anymore in the last few days. Things were heckled ever since Orb.

Kira was also concerned about Cagalli. She had only spoken to the girl a few times since she found out that she was on board the Archangel and even then it wasn't for a long period of time. Every time Kira came in the same room, Cagalli would either leave with some excuse or would sit quietly and not say anything. At first Kira thought she was being paranoid, but she was positive that the blonde was very uncomfortable in her presents.

Kira sighed and made her way towards the cafeteria.

She entered the room to find it completely deserted except for a familiar blonde with amber eyes.

"Cagalli?" Kira asked as she approached the girl who had her head down and shoulders were shaking.

Kira was very concerned. Was Cagalli crying?

"Cagalli?" Kira called again and shook the other girls shoulder lightly.

Cagalli snapped her head up and almost clonked Kira in the nose. "W-what are you doing here?" Cagalli asked a bit annoyed and wiped at her eyes with her left hand.

"I came here and found you crying." Kira said with worry.

Cagalli tried to master a glare but it came out only to make her even more pathetic. "So you were just hanging around?" Cagalli asked in a quiet voice a natural wouldn't have heard it but Kiras advanced hearing heard it perfectly.

"I guess you could say that." Kira said in a slightly confused manner. "Cagalli can I ask you something?" Kira asked taking a seat across from the other.

Cagalli sniffled one last time and looked at Kira with an exhausted look. "If you must." She replied in a sad tone.

"Why were you crying?" Kira asked looking Cagalli in the eye but Cagalli turned away.

"I wasn't." Cagalli said angrily.

Kira frowned. "I'm not stupid Cagalli! I know something is wrong."

Cagalli sighed shakily. "It's none of your business!"

Kira sighed. "It is the reason that you have been avoiding me?" Kira asked with a hurtful look.

Cagalli looked at Kira with wide eyes. "Yes...I mean…no…ARGH!" Cagalli shouted frustrated and then took a deep breath. "Listen I'm still a little confused of why things are going the way they are, but even more so as of lately."

Kira looked at Cagalli with sincerity. "I understand, but could you please tell me why you are avoiding me? Did I do something wrong?" Kira asked in a sad tone. Cagalli was a good friend of hers and she didn't want to loose that friendship.

Cagalli took a deep breath and looked Kira in the eyes. "Kira what do you know about your family?"

Kira gave Cagalli a confused look. "I have a mother and a father who are naturals and I am an only child. Why?"

Cagalli didn't say anything she just took out the picture her father had given her and handed it to Kira.

Kira took the picture and looked at it. She saw two babies in a woman arms. The woman looked a lot like her with the same violet eyes her hair was only a shade darker as well. "What is this?" Kira asked looking at the picture.

Cagallis voice was emotionless. "Turn it around." She commanded.

Kira did as she was told as felt her heart skip a beat in shock. Her eyes widen largely as she stared.

Couldn't be?

She was a coordinator and Cagalli was a natural.

But there in black pen ink in neat writing was her name written next to Cagallis.

"I-I…." Kira was speechless.

Cagalli felt tears in her eyes again. "If...if…it's true…then what does that make me?" Cagalli asked her voice shaking.

Kira looked up at Cagalli again. She was confused and a bit frightened. "Cagalli-"Kira wasn't able to finish though as the alarm went off.

EVERYONE TO LEVEL ONE BATTLE STATIONS!

Kira gave Cagalli an apologetic look and mumbled an apology and ran off towards the hanger.

Cagalli didn't say anything and watched as Kira ran out of the room leaving her alone with her thoughts again. She did even bother going to the hanger to see if an air-craft was left behind like she would normally do, but her heart wouldn't be in the fight.

Battle Field

"Kira, Athrun there is an unidentified ship closing in. We don't now if they are EA or ZAFT, an Orb ship is coming this way and will be joining up with us in a few hours it is critical that we keep the Archangel and Cagalli safe." Murrue said over the communications.

Kira and Athrun nodded there head in understanding over the video screen and then went out to see who the ship belonged to.

"Do you think it's ZAFT?" Kira asked. The ship was coming from the direction of the PLANTS.

"I couldn't say. I really hope not." Athrun replied.

As they got closer they prepared to engage just in case the ship attacked. It was a large war-ship that was in a reddish color.

Before Kira and Athrun could make a move the ship come over the communications and a familiar voice come over the line.

"Attention Archangel. Please do not engage we are not with either alliance. We have merely come to lend our assistance. Please do not engage."

Kira and Athrun were shocked as well as the rest of the Archangel but they were both smiling.

"Hello Athrun and Kira it is very nice to see you again." A melody voice came over the communication.

"Lacus!" Both Kira and Athrun said in union.

A/N Sorry for the short chapter. My computer got hacked and I lost almost everything including chapter 17. It wasn't meant to be this short. I felt that you guys have waited long enough so I typed this one up quickly. I like it even though it's short. I promise the next one will be longer!

GRRR! I Hate Hackers! I swear I will hunt who ever did this to me and spoon his or hers eyes out!

L8ter!
