A/N- Thank you all for the reviews! Here's my update! Chapter 26!

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Seed, plain and simple.

Mia dropped the gun, shocked that HER Athrun slapped her. What does that ugly, stupid, and tomboy have that she doesn't? She started after Athrun, but was held back by Lacus and Kira. Mia tried to get the gun, but the brunette managed to grab it first.

She was put into custody.

Meanwhile, Athrun saw Cagalli run into a deserted coffee shop. This shop was 2 blocks away from the church. The inky-haired man followed her inside, but he had a nagging feeling. He trusted his instincts and hid in the shadows, expecting everything.

Cagalli slumped into a chair. Her hands were covering her face, and she was sobbing. She cried, "What else can go wrong?"

"This…Cagalli-dear." A sinister sounding voice said. Cagalli, snapped up and looked around, until her eyes landed on…

"Yuuna?" She stuttered.

"We meet again, my love." He sighed, stepping forward. Cagalli winced at the greeting and stood up.

"Where are you going, my dear?" He asked, smirking.

"I am not your dear! I am going home or anywhere away from you!" She yelled. Then, suddenly, she felt a hot breath behind her and a prick at her throat. She found that Yuuna was no longer in front of her…

"You're not going anywhere." Yuuna whispered. He added to that threat by drawing blood.

"You're not the Yuuna I know…"She said slowly.

"Cause he's long dead. Meet the new me, thanks to a certain man named Rau Le Cruset." The purple haired man said.

Cagalli burst out in rage, "WHY IS IT ALWAYS HIM?"

Yuuna shrugged, "It does not matter, as long as I have you. Although there is one obstacle standing in our way… Zala."

"Sorry to break it to you Yuuna, but Athrun and I…are finished…"

Athrun felt a pang of hurt.

"Oh? Then it will be easier for you to forget him, cause he will be long forgotten after I'm done with him." Yuuna smirked at the thought of the death of the emerald-eyed man.

Cagalli winced, "He has nothing to do with us! Leave him alone!"

"Tsk tsk. Rau has ordered me to kill him and he will allow me to keep you."

"He's going to deceive you!" She yelled at the utterly insane man.

However, their attention was directed to Athrun, who unfortunately tripped over a fallen wooden plank.

"Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in." Yuuna smirked. He kept the knife at Cagalli's throat. Athrun remained in his place with a scowl on.

"That's right… Stay where you are, or Cagalli will die." Yuuna said. He grabbed Athrun and tied him up to a chair. He did the same to Cagalli, but less rough.

"Well done, Mr. Seiran." A dark and more sinister voice congratulated.

"Mr. Cruset sir! I have captured them both. I will now accept the $10,000 and the girl now." Yuuna saluted.

"Sorry, but the deal is cut." A shot rang out. Rau smirked and turned towards the two prisoners.

"Now, die."

"WAIT!" Athrun exclaimed.

"Yes?" Rau asked impatiently.

"Can I at least say my last words?"

"Go ahead, but hurry up."

Athrun looked at Cagalli with soft eyes. The blonde tomboy looked away, being the stubborn girl she was.

"I love you Cagalli Yula Attha…I love you…" Athrun confessed.

Cagalli turned her head to him with fury in her eyes. "Oh really? I doubt that! First you marry that witch Mia and now you say you love me? HA! Sure you do." She scoffed.

"Cagalli…" Athrun looked away with tears in his eyes.

"Done yet?" An impatient voice cut in.

"Yes." The defeated voice of the killer said. The grief was drowning him, causing his thinking to blur. He cannot think of any way out…No way out…

"Great." He pointed the gun at Cagalli's head. "Ladies first." He slowly pressed the trigger…

"OW!" Rau rubbed his head and turned around. He saw a pink haired woman with a missing high heel. "What the f-?"

Athrun took that moment to break his bindings and tackle Rau to the ground. The blue-haired man's head was cleared by the sudden interruption.

Kira ran in and saw the dilemma. He snatched some handcuffs from his belt and cuffed the masked murderer.

Kira forced Rau out the door, while Lacus used her cell phone to call the cops.

Athrun walked over to Cagalli and untied her. She shot him a glare.

"Cagalli, remember what I said during the wedding? About the deal about catching Rau? What happens after his capture?"

"I-I have to marry you…" She stuttered.

Athrun said softly, "You don't have to…"

Cagalli stared at him. She was not expecting that, after what happened before! She was expecting a, "YOU HAVE TO!" or a "It's a deal!" But, she received a, "You don't have to…" Her eyes softened. Now she understood. He was not the person she thought he was… He did…all that for a good reason…

"Aw, come here you big lug." She hugged him. "Of course I'll marry you!"

He blinked his emerald eyes. "What? So you…forgive me?"

"Yes…Yes I do…" Cagalli trailed off…

"YES! YAH!"

"But…"

"Here it comes…"

"You have to buy me fudge ice cream after!" She smiled brightly.

"You'll get fat…" He said.

THONK.

"Ow! That's Lacus' high heel and high heels hurt!" Athrun complained, rubbing the bump that was forming on his head.

"Exactly."

A/N- Sigh… Second last chapter… I miss the story already… But don't worry! I have a new story coming up! It's called Hope! AsuCaga forever!
