"Cursed Maidens"

2

The gentle wind brushing the long wavy pink hair of a girl sitting on the border of a large open window. The house was big, enough to make the little girl get lost, just like a big maze, but right now she was safe, with a lovely bird right beside her.

"What are you doing!" yelled a boy appearing after a recent opened door. He run toward the unlocked window. A robotic green bird flew to his shoulder but the boy did not pay attention to it.

The maiden sitting on the edge of the window turned to the brown haired boy. "Hi Kira," she greeted with a gentle smile, "I was just feeling the kind wind."

"It's still dangerous to you and how did you get there?" he asked still trying to figure how she got there.

She beamed. "Toori, helped me." Kira eyed his pet disbelieved. He went to her, offering his right hand.

"What are we going to do, Lacus?" he said rereading the paper.

"I'm entrusting her to you, please take good care of her"

Murrue.

"I'm sorry Kira, I have no idea, sorry for being such a trouble for you" She answered looking down.

"Eh? No, don't worry, it's ok, I really don't mind, not at all" he said in a hurry. She looked surprised.

"Really?" He beamed. "Really" her eyes glitter as he stated. She gesture him to raise her to be as the same height as his face. She leaned to give him a small kiss on his cheek.

"Thank you." Her voice was like angel singing to him. He flushed, noticing this tried to change the subject. She still smiling with her eyes closed.

"E-e do you-do you know her?"

"Mmm not really" she spoke, then continued, " she was like a sorcerer or a magician, a good one, but I really haven't met her before."

"Oh, I see." Suddenly the bird flew to the door, this gave him an idea. "How about we go outside to find you some clothes for you to change, unless you want to wear that all the time" smiling sweetly he waited to her answer.

"I mean is not like is ugly or anything I just –" he added afraid that he might be misunderstand. She giggled then nodded. "I know what you mean."

He calmed down. "That would be my pleasure." She said and he began to walk out of his room, trying to hide his light blush from the sweetest girl he had ever seem, even is she was little doll.

"What do you want me to do! What else can I do!" she asked upset making signs with her tiny hands as a signal to him to reconsider her situation.

"Well I don't know" he answered uncomfortable. Tears were forming under her eyes but the blue haired boy could not see them since her locks hide them carefully, but he could hear her small sniff and somehow he didn't like them. He began to think about it.

"You mean that you really are a person?" he asked cautiously just to be answered by an angry frown and biting lips coming from the petit girl in front of him.

"What do you mean I'm a person!" she exclaimed hurt at the statement. Athrun tried to apologize rising his hands defensively.

"Well-mm-I mean …" the boy stuttered.

"Of course I'm a person!" yelled the girl still frowning at him looking mad.

"So you don't know how you end up like this?" he questioned her. His emerald eyes watching her carefully, maybe this all was a bad joke. But the sincere sadness in her eyes told him that he was wrong, and this was no joke at all.

"I have no idea," she said slowly looking sad, "the last thing I remember was that I was swimming on the lake near my house then everything became white to my eyes. I remember a cold feeling overwhelming my all body," she told him hugging herself, she continued, "then I heard something hit the floor and everything went dark, it was like everywhere I tried to look was darkness."

The clear loneliness she felt and expressing when she spoke about it reassure him that this was something bad, the fact she said she was swimming on a lake, the features alike the girl he saw before, this all was strange, incredibly he knew she was telling the truth.

Trying to think a solution it hit him. "I guess you could stay with me, after all there is this thing that everybody is getting a doll, I think they called them Angelic, so if you could act like one and I'll be your Des or Deus, I mean as they called the person who owned those mm fighting dolls"

Cagalli was watching him as he speaks, trying to digest all of his new idea of her becoming his 'doll', this was not like the idea she was willing to agreed.

"Me being your doll" she said after he finished talking. Athrun quickly tried to explain himself seeing her not-so-happy-with-the-idea look.

"You don't have to do it if you don't want to, I mean, you could stay all day here where nobody would bother you but you could not do much here," he spoke hastily, "I don't think that you want to bored yourself to death here in my room" he guessed with a faint smile.

"Guess not" she answered not looking at him to give him the reason that he was right.

"So what are you going to do?" He had kneeled and now his arms were at the edge of his bed looking amused at her current face, she looked like a little girl would did not get her lollipop. The blonde could feel he was smiling at her and it make her feel unease.

"Stop staring at me!" she warned with a daring look, the boy knew she was easy to tease, it was funny and for a odd reason she made him feel light, to be in a light mood. Being with her was nice.

"OK I'll follow your game but if you do something weird …" she said to him dangerously with murderous eyes. He tried to give her the best smile he could with his eyes closed.

He felt his short locks being pulled, opening his eyes he saw Cagalli right in front of him, just few inches away from his face. The closeness with the called doll make him feel nervous, he shot himself away from the bed trying to get away but Cagalli didn't realised this and got pulled too. Her eyes went wide again, she was being thrown by this guy for the second time.

Athrun did not really calculate how much strength he should had used his body reacted for him. His back touched the covered floor of his room first and his head bumped on the desk he had on the left of his bed, paste to the wall that was painted in a ocean blue colour.

The petit girl fall on his chest, she heard a loud sound, it sounded like something had hit a table or something made of wood. The dry sound told her that fact. She got up and walked to get near his face. She rested her hands on his chin.

Athrun drew his right hand to massage his head, the smack was not really hard but still hurt. He felt something on his chin, moved his head up to see her with a worried face.

"Are you ok?" she asked looking at him with her innocent eyes. She acted really strange, a second ago she was giving him a murderous look but know she was concerned about him. He moved his body so his elbows got the weight of half of his body.

"Yeah, I think so" he responded her rubbing his head some more, with one eye closed. She smiled.

"Hey, could you help me to look for some clothes?" she asked beaming, the young coordinator looked puzzle.

"Clothes?"

"Yeah I don't really like gowns" she pointed, holding her dress upper her knees, "they don't let me move much, you know."

He moved upward to sit himself and with his right hand offering a place for her to stand. "I don't have any clothes that may fit you" he said with a calm voice. She frowned.

"You don't expect me to be with this dress forever, do you!"

His sigh was a signal of surrender.

Oki! This is all for this chapter, I'm really sorry that it took this long, but is just to many things in my head, and its just that in my other fic I did not get many reviews in my last update so I was depressed -- AND I'm trying to make another fic for AxC xP but first I wanted to make the draw first, maybe making it a wallpaper uploaded in Minitokyo.
