Well on to the next chapter! Finally... oh and um warning Sexual content...and Mu bashing.

Chapter 7: Searching in Destruction and realization

Murrue let go of his hand and turned away. "fine." She said once more. Natarle followed

her as she walked away. "Captain are you sure about this? Are you sure we can trust them?" Murrue refused to answer her until they got back to the ship.

"I think it would be best if we did." Murrue retorted. She walked off and Natarle found herself watching the retreating figure of the woman she adored walking down the hall. 'why do we have to trust them...' she found herself thinking. 'whatever the captain says I suppose.' Natarle followed her quietly the only sounds were the slight tap of her shoes on the metal floor.

She wondered into the bridge area and sat down finding that her chair was unusually uncomfortable. 'what is up with this?' she thought. 'Oh I know why..I'd much rather be-' Her thoughts were interrupted by Mu tapping her on the shoulder. "huh? Oh Mu what is it?" He looked down at her "you seem in deep thought Captain" Murrue stared at him startled "Well yes I have a few thoughts on my mind." He smiled at her "like what? Natarle?" Murrue glared at him "Who gave you permission to try and talk my thoughts out of me?" Mu looked at her for a second before responding "Well I noticed that you two have been getting along a lot better." Murrue flushed. "well that doesn't concern you dose it?" Mu stifled a laugh "okay, okay geeze I was only asking. So what are we going to do now? What is it that Desert Dawn wanted?" Murrue looked foreword. "We are to follow them back to their hideout They are going to tell us more there." Mu eyed her before turning around. "ArchAngel Launch!" The engines roared and the ArchAngel lifted.

Murrue sank down in her seat and tried her hardest to relax. 'uhg...I could really-' She cut her thoughts off suddenly. The sound of the door opening surprised her. "Captain..." Murrue turned to see Natarle standing behind her. "oh Natarle...what is it?" She asked her. Natarle watched her for a moment before speaking. "well I was just wondering how you were. You seem far off..." Murrue stood up. "Natarle? Can I speak with you..." She looked around to make sure no one was looking before moving in closer to Natarle. "alone" She whispered into her ear. "okay..." Came Natarle's reply. Murrue led Natarle out of the bridge and into her office. 'Now is my chance...I'm going to get her.'

Murrue's P.O.V

I watch you carefully as you walk in waiting for my words. What I want to say I cannot yet as I watch you...I want you...Natarle why? Why can't I tell you? Why can't I say it? You look so wonderful as you approach me. I notice a few strands of your Onyx hair fall in your face. I long for you to come closer so that I may brush them away.. "Natarle" I say daring you to come closer. "Yes Captain?" You respond moving closer to me. Soon you are in my reach. I place my hand on your cheek and brush your hair behind your ear. You look at me and I'm instantly intoxicated by you...Your Ivory-Purple eyes pierce my soul and see everything..Natarle I need you by my side. Yet I cannot tell you this...For some reason...You come closer to me still. We are against each other now. "Natarle." I breathe into your ear. "I want you." I finish. There I said it.. now I wait for your answer. Before I speak again your lips are upon mine. And such a sweet sensation it is your lips have a taste to them that I have never tasted in my life. Soon I find that you are seeking entrance your tongue running across my lips. I grant you entrance to my mouth and meet your tongue with mine. I need more. More contact with you. I run My hands up your back and through your hair taking your hat off. I feel your hands moving from my waist up to my sides. You push me against the wall and I feel your thigh push in between my legs. I return the gesture by pushing mine in between yours. I moan in unhappiness when your lips leave my mouth. Soon I find your lips trailing down my jaw. Unzipping my jacket. Your lips find my neck and you start to trail kisses that feel more like gentle caresses. I moan in want as you manage to remove my jacket and discard in behind you with little difficulty. You stop suddenly looking into my eyes "Murrue..." you say "Are you okay with this?" You ask as if I'm a grown adult and you are nothing but a small child asking to go to the park...I laugh slightly at your question. "of course I am Natarle I want this more than anything." I reply. You smile a seductive smile before going back to kissing my neck. Finally I have you Natarle like in my dreams. I remove your jacket and your shirt underneath reveling nothing but muscle. God you are beautiful. I run my hands up your back pushing you against me harder. Your mouth finds it's way back to mine and once again we are kissing intensely. "All hands Level 2 battle stations! I repeat."

Normal P.O.V

The two pulled away in surprise looking up and hearing the familiar wailing alarm of the ArchAngel. 'No Damnit!' Murrue thought in irritation. 'I was so close.' She watched as her lover pulled her shirt on followed by pulling her jacket on. Murrue pulled hers on and they left the room. Murrue quickly ran towards the bridge.

"Lieutenant Commander!" Natarle turned "yes Commander La Fllaga?" Mu ran up to her. "Are you fighting today? Or are you staying on the bridge in control of the weapons system?" Natarle hesitated before answering "I'm not-!" The ship lurched sending both Natarle and Mu into the wall. The impact of the cool metal came as a surprise for her. "are you okay?" Mu asked approaching Natarle. "Yea I- Ah!" She collapsed Against the wall as an excruciating pain shot through her side. "Lieutenant?" Natarle took a moment before moving again. "I'm okay! Let's just get to the bridge."

Kira's first thoughts were about how he was going to fight again. He jumped into the Strikes cockpit and looked up. "Strike? Are you ready to Launch" Kira looked down "Yes." He replied. After a few tense moments the Strike was freed into the battle below.

"Aim Gottfried cannons! Fire!" The green beams irrupted form the main cannons missing the targets. "Damn" Natarle mumbled annoyed. "Fire Valiant cannons!" Murrue looked down at Natarle. "Use the laser targeting!" She nodded "Activate Laser targeting!"

Kira watched the Valiants fire upon the unsuspecting targets. "what the? What are those? ..." Natarle looked out. "Could those be BuCus?" Murrue waited for a moment before answering. "..." Sai's voice came from below "yes..they are BuCu's 3 of them.." Natarle's expression went grim. 'This is not going to be good' Murrue looked up at the worried expression of her lover "Natarle?" She looked down. "I'm afraid that the Strike cannot fight in these conditions..." She said. "what about Cyther?" Murrue asked. "I- well maybe. I'm not sure...the collaboration is still off somewhat..." She said uncertainly. "Natarle prepare to launch in Cyther..." Natarle turned from her. "Yes ma'am."

"Cyther proceed to catapult. Ready?" Miriallia's voice came. "Yes...Cyther Launching!" The second Natarle came from the flight deck gravity pulled her down. 'Darn!' "Lieutenant? Are you okay?" Kira asked. "I'm fine." She pulled down the keyboard and set the calibrations to her liking and pulled out two of the 4 beam sabers. "all right! Now lets go!" Cyther bent down slightly and took off at a run. Kira watched in amazement as Cyther cut through all of the BuCu's. 'quite a light show...' Murrue thought watching. "Fire Igelstellungs! Intercept!" The small guns rattled off shooting down the missiles heading their way. "now! I'll Kill you all!" Natarle looked out to her left to see a BuCu she missed running at her. "Heh...you think I'll just sit back and let you kill me...Think again!" Cyther boosted off the ground causing the BuCu to miss and run under. "what! Damnit! It's fast!" The BuCu turned and began to race at Cyther again. Kira intercepted it's attack blasting it with the Agnie. "well that was...interesting." Natarle mumbled. "shall we return now?" Kira asked her. "It seems that everything has calmed down for now...Yes."

"That was quite the show you put on Natarle." Murrue said as Kira and her Onyx haired lover walked back onto the bridge. "Indeed. How is Desert Dawn holding up?" Murrue looked out at the sunset. "They're holding up." She replied. "Are we almost there?" Fllay asked leaning on Kira. "Hopefully we are.." Natarle said watching Mu eye her. "What is it commander La Fllaga?" Natarle asked coolly glaring at him. "Oh..Nothing..I'm just wondering what where you and the captain up to?" He asked smiling. "None of your damn business..." Mu stared at her. "wow..okay..." 'Bitchy much?' He thought to himself walking off. "What is wrong with him?" She asked Murrue. "I have no clue." Murrue said watching him leave. Natarle walked over to Murrue and leaned down to whisper to her. "Do you think he knows about...us?" Murrue nodded. "I highly doubt it. Unless he is psychic..." They both laughed slightly at the thought. "I don't think he would last five minuets trying to be a fortune teller..." Natarle said standing up. "How much longer must we follow them...I'm beginning to think like we're dogs on leashes..." Natarle shook her head. "No... Thats not what I meant to say...What I meant to say is...uhh nevermind.." Murrue laughed. "Don't worry I understand what you're trying to say. I think. I hope." Natarle looked down at her. "Are you felling all right captain?" Natarle asked. "No...Look!" Natarle looked up to see a trail of smoke and what looked like a fire burning. "What the! Was it? Desert Tiger?" Murrue choked out in a uneven and distraught voice. "I don't know..most likely." Natarle said. "I want you to go down there and check." She said looking up at Natarle. "Right." was the last thing she said before walking out to explore the destruction. Little did she know a new enemy awaits her in the falling darkness.

Wow and it only took me...along time. Well okay I hope that I'm gonna get the next chapter up a whole helluva lot sooner than this one.
