Chapter 5

Romance

"Well then, we shall give you a name? How does the name, Lacus, sound to thee?" Athrun asked, as the angel with a golden halo of blond hair stood up. Her head shook. "Well what do you wish to be called?" he asked. Not even caring if she asked to be called Lucifer.

Cagalli blinked a few times..why did he sound odd to her? Words that went through her head were different. Very different.

"I have the perfect name.. I shall call you-"

"Kari." Cagalli chimed in from no where.

Athrun blinked a few times. "An.. unusual name. But, if that is what you wish. Kari. IS that your name?" He asked, standing now and taking her hands.

Cagalli shook her head. "No, but I like it for some reason... and you are?" She asked suddenly looking up and giving a soft laugh.

Athrun puffed out his chest and raised his head. "I am Lord Athrun. I am the lord of Zaft. And everyone is feared by me."

Cagalli nodded and acting as this is very important. "And how did you find me?"

"Well, just after making a... well that is... I was enjoying a stroll on the beach. Then I seen a figure washed out on my beach. As I looked more.." he smiled while stroking her hand. "it was you. And might I add, it was much better then any shell I have seen." Cagalli laughed softly.

"But you were wet and concerning for your being, I brought you back to my hall. But you remember nothing as to why you were in the sea in the first place?" Getting his answer by Cagalli shaking her head once again, Athrun only continued. "Well then, you shall stay here until your sire has called for your missing." Even though Athrun was hoping that her sire wasn't the saints themselves and taking her right when getting her. Or the human sire... is to take her back form him as well.

"Thank you, Athrun." Cagalli said.

Athrun began to lower his head when the doors to his chambers were thrown open. "Lord Athrun! Your cousin, King Kira is coming this way! Scout's spotted his flag down towards the farms." A boy with black hair cried. Athrun returned to his feared ways.

"Prepare my hoarse! And make sure commander Yzak is ready to ride!" Athrun yelled out commands.

Cagalli blinked a few times from the 180 face on Athrun. Athrun turned back to Cagalli and gave her a small smile.

"I would take you with me sweeting, but I do not wish for many people to know about you just yet. To many questions, and not even nearly enough answers. What ever you need, allow someone to fetch it for you."

"And if they so no?"

"If they are to say nay, then that shall be their last words." Athrun said. His emerald eye's turning partly dark.. giving that a promise to her. Cagalli kissed his cheek.

"Go off then, and I shall try to remember about myself."

Athrun gave a nod, looking from the door way, then back to Cagalli. Kissing her in return he strode off. Replacing his caring face, to the hard stone one that all of the others see and fear.

Adventure

'Kari.. Kari. Such an odd name. But if that is what she wish's for then that is what I shall call my angel.' Athrun's thoughts replayed the small time he spoke with her and basking into the light of her touch, look, kiss. As his black stallion sped across his land and back breaking speed. He, Yzak and three others were heading towards King Kira's path. "Lord Athrun. King Kira is just ahead!" The black haired boy yelled. Athrun's eyes did fall onto him. Gone were the days of the playful and youthful days, but the kind king that rules. As their horses trotted to one another. They pulled each other in a manly hug "What brings you here cousin?" Athrun asked. Kira cleared his throat. "There have been rumors that a fairy has been staying within your halls wall. I was checking t you to make sure nothing has be fallen onto you."

Athrun's eyes have already traveled to the white haired mans face. 'No.. tis not rumors. But one that damned slug trying to bring you down somehow.' Athrun returned his eyes back towards Kira. "No.. no one has entered my falls since the last gathering. May I ask what else have you heard so far." he asked raising a eyebrow. Kira's eyes opened slightly as he peered onto Athrun. "Uh.. nothing. But I will continue to keep an ear open. Let us continue to talk at your hall." Kira said. Athrun blocked his path. "No no.. uh. My hall is being rebuilt. Mayhap you wish to return with me knowing so I may be prepared." Athrun said. Kira looked towards the white haired man and he nodded. "Very well, but I do hope you visit cousin." They embraced and parted.

Athrun's plans were simply thrown off course a bit. Nothing he could fix. "Lord Athrun... why did you not tell him about the maiden?" Commander Yzak whispered and out of ears reach. "I wish for no one to speak of Kari-" "That is her name?" "Well, she does not remember-" "WHAT! What if she is a fairy! Athrun-" "My friend if you continue to speak and interpret me you shall not speak at all soon." That shut up Yzak. "Now.. she remembers nothing. But, I want you to spread that.. I have bought a slave recently. And that she is nothing more then a servant. That may hush them for a while." Yzak nodded. "Now, if you do not mind. Please go off and watch. I must pick up some items." Athrun said making a sharp left. Leaving a mumbling Yzak. "And if a hair is harmed on her head, you shall be the one to pay." Athrun added before dissapearing with one officer.

Humor

"So, ye be the lords catch from the watery seas?" Asked a tall man, with a round stomach and a left eye patch. Cagalli gave a meak yes. "And are ye doing in my kitchen?" he asked taking a step forward as his one eye looked down from his nose and on the wee lass who even dared to stay within the keep filled with men. "I am come for food." She said... god. Even to her ears her voice barely gave authority... it felt wrong. "AHH. So the wee wench wish's for suppor ay? Well then, what will you give it for me?" he asked wiggleing his eyebrows. Cagalli's cheeks puffed as she took a deep breath. "How.. dare you! I come only to wish for support. Or, whatever you want to call this!" Cagalli yelled. As she said that a bubble popped in the caldron. "You sure you wish to be calling something you are to eat?" Cagalli grumbled and looked around. "Well... fine then! I will fix myself something!" Pushing the large blob of a human to the side. She stride right in like she owned the place. Biting her bottom lip as she fisted her sides. 'Okay, lets see here. Eww.. no...no.' Cagalli looked towards the smirking blob at the corner of her eye. "Okay! You win this round buster.. but watch out you never know." Cagalli strode out with what was left of her pride. Blob scratched his head as Cagalli left. "Buster.. aye. She is a daft one. Maybe I should be kinder to her."

Jessica: -grins- Yep.. just wait till the next chapter. Things will blow up, blood.. and so much more.. MWHAHAH! But I want five reviews to get your chapter. Bye bye!
