A/N- Yes, I know! Early update huh? Well, cause it's my birthday today, I have decided to give you all a present! Chapter 18! Thanks for reviewing!

Disclaimer: Do not own Gundam Seed, not on my birthday, not ever.

"I thought you were dead!" Kira stuttered.

"Kira, I escaped from that bombing, Rau planted. The thing was, that we secretly split up and I traveled to somewhere else to make an honest living, another life." She answered.

"What other life? It's dangerous as a bodyguard! Don't you know what body and guard put together means? It's not cake!" Uzumi bellowed.

"MY other life! You always keep me inside the house to do housework and our taxes! I just want to walk, run and sprint around town! Also maybe go see a circus, but nooooooo. You had to keep your nice lady in shape for your friends." She barked, scaring everyone.

"NOT JUST MY FRIENDS! I want to show your parents how nice and kept I kept you! They nod in approval and they are usually out of my house!" Uzumi countered.

"Not a house ding dong, it's a mansion!" She yelled.

"Ding dong? Where have you been learning these words?" He asked.

"You sound like my dad!" She yelled.

Everyone was looking at the bickering couple, while thinking the same thing. "So that's how Cagalli came to be…"

Nya ignored Uzumi and said, "Now, the head office has assigned bodyguards to each and everyone of you. So here is there list:

Shinn Asuka: Auel Neider

Stellar Louissier: Sting Oakley

Athrun Zala: Mika Lebmac Miriallia Hawwe: Ryan Koenig

Lunamaria Hawke: Rey Zu Burrel

Meyrin Hawke: Heine

Cagalli Yula Attha: Yuuna Roma Seiren

Shiho Hahnefuss: Sakura Mei

Lacus Clyne: Kiko Flame

Kira Yamato: Armani Shonan

Yzak Joule: Shiori Luna

Uzumi Nara Attha: Nya Kyo Attha

"ME? With him?" Nya complained, while she stared at the piece of paper. Uzumi glared at her and threw a pillow, just like whenever Athrun was making him mad.

Miriallia looked at Ryan closely, "Koenig?"

Ryan looked at her, "Hey… You're that girl on all those picture frames Tolle has. You're cute."

Miriallia blushed on the first statement and harder on the second. Dearka gave Ryan a glare. Miriallia gave him an assured look. Dearka felt a bit relieved, but Ryan as her bodyguard… That just ticks him off… He'll probably hit on her or something… But he trusted Miriallia, so he sat on the couch and slept.

"HYAA!" They heard a voice yell.

Shiho defended herself from Sakura's attack. The brunette woman swung a kick at Mei. Mei blocked it off with her arm and pushed. Shiho cartwheeled backwards and dodged a few fists. Shiho blocked off one kick and stood back. She launched a flying kick, but Sakura stepped aside and Shiho crashed onto a wall.

Everyone winced.

Shiho rubbed her head and stood up. The two women bowed in respect.

"Hey." Rey said.

"Hi…" Luna blushed.

Meyrin whispered to Heine, "She likes him."

Heine's eyes twinkled and suggested, "How about we get them together?"

Meyrin smiled in response. She was going to like her bodyguard…

Shinn smirked at Auel. The light-blue haired man smirked back. They stared for a while. The red-eyed competitor stuck out his tongue without blinking. Auel snapped his fingers in front of him.

"What are they doing?" Stellar asked.

"Probably a staring contest, because Auel does that with me all the time." Sting answered.

"Cupcakes anyone?" Lacus asked.

Some took some, others politely refused. Kiko went inside the kitchen to help prepare some delicacies, Lacus is making.

Armani ran with a black marker and a photo. Kira came panting like a guard dog, after a leopard.

"Give… That… BACK!" Kira managed to gasp out.

Armani, being 3 inches taller then Kira, held it right up in the air and drew on it with the marker.

"Hey! It's a picture of Lacus!" Shiho pointed out.

"What is he doing? He knows Kira's not going to forgive him…" Yzak muttered.

"Is he always like that?" Shiho asked.

"Yup." Shiori said.

Now, as for the picture of Lacus, it was Lacus with a sunset in the background and she was sitting in front, smiling. WAS. Kira used PhotoShop and gave her a halo and the background was a heavenly place. Armani added devil wings to her and made the background with dark flames. He scribbled out the halo and gave her horns.

Kira glared at his so-called bodyguard.

Armani smirked and threw the picture to Lacus. Then he jumped on to the couch and held up a pillow, hoping it would stop Kira's attacks.

Lacus looked at the picture and giggled, "How creative."

Kira stopped his attacks on him and looked at her, as though she had grown a beard.

Armani looked at her shocked. "She's an angel… Sorry about scribbling on that picture…"

Lacus shook her head and smiled, "It's ok. I just love the flames."

Then the door slammed open.

"Hey guys." Cagalli muttered and looked at the new faces, "And they are?"

Uzumi answered, "They are our bodyguards."

"You're my bodyguard? Cagalli! Long time no see!" Yuuna smiled.

"Me? Bodyguard? You're the bodyguard." She stared at him.

"What? I thought I was GETTING a bodyguard…" Yuuna questioned.

Everyone looked at him as though he was a duck-billed, flag-tailed and polka dotted monster from Bugs Bunny. Uzumi looked at him helplessly.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I THINK I WAS BLIND WHEN I ASKED YOU TO DATE MY DAUGHTER! Actually! I lost my contacts." Uzumi pondered on.

"How'd you pass the test?" Mika asked Yuuna.

"Oh, simple, I cheated."

Every one either fell over or wanted to punch him.

Cagalli dragged Yuuna to the door and shut it. She then stared at Mika.

"Dad? Do I have another twin?" Cagalli asked.

Uzumi shook his head and said, "I can't handle another you. She just probably just looks like you. By the way, where's Athrun?"

Cagalli said, "The doctors are looking at the areas where the needles pierced. They said that if a needle hit a vital point, Athrun might have some problems."

Kira frowned.

Lacus said, "I hope he's okay."

Then the phone rang. The blonde answered it.

"Hello?"

"We're looking for a Cagalli Yula Attha."

"Yeah, hi?"

"Well, Athrun Zala, our patient…"

"What happened?"

"Calm down, Miss Attha. He just suffered from some minor memory loss. He will forget little details."

"What will he forget?"

"I personally don't know, but you should be there to fill things in." Then all the operator heard was a long beep tone.

Cagalli grabbed her jacket and headed out the door.

Meanwhile…

"Yes, hurry up, she's heading your way. You have approximately 5 minutes." A feminine voice spoke into her cell phone.

"I'll be done soon."

"Hurry."

Athrun's POV, and at the hospital.

I opened my eyes. Ahh… My head… Why am I here?

I searched my mind for the reason, but I now know that my subconscious was hiding something from me. Then the window flew open.

I saluted to Rau when he entered.

"You're here because you were caught in an explosion during the attack of the school." He said. Boy, he's a mind reader.

"Yes sir… So what are you doing here?" I asked.

"I have a new job for you." I nodded.

He handed me a picture of a blonde-haired woman with amber eyes. Somehow, I knew her, but what? Her name was Cagalli Yula Attha.

"Take her down."

I gave him a smirk.

A/N- (Hides behind a shield) I know you people probably hate me right now, but… (Winces when a table hit the shield) …this is important! I know! This is probably not good for me on my b-day… (Dodges a tomato) Well, seeya before it starts with rotten food. (Dodges a rotten tomato) AW COMON!
