Athrun blinked for a moment before replying slowly, "No... no, she has to be in her room... I was sitting here all night... I would have noticed if she had..."
"Not if you were asleep or too preoccupied to notice."
"So what are we gonna do?" asked Murrue.
"I'll go look for her." They turned as Kira came down the stairs.
Lacus looked at him worriedly before asking what we were all undoubtedly pondering. "Kira do you think that's such a good idea...?"
"You should stay here in case she comes back," Athrun said agreeing with Lacus.
"You don't know where to look." Kira stated calmly before walking quietly to the door.
"And you do?" Asked Athrun angry now, "I think you've don't enough damage haven't you Kira? The last thing we need is for her to go and throw herself off a cliff because her brother's an-"
Kira turned swiftly and within less than a second was within an inch of Athrun's face. "Because I'm a what?"
Athrun gritted his teeth and clenched his fist trying to control his anger at Kira.
"Athrun that's en-" started Lacus.
"It's your fault you know." he whispered. His voice was hard and tight as he said it. The words cut through the air and silenced Lacus and Murrue instantly.
Kira stood expectantly saying nothing in return.
Athrun continued then.
"You treat her like a lover one minute and the next you push her away like she's something disgusting... you say you care for her but do you really?
If you think of her like a sister then treat her like one. If you think of her as a lover that treat her like one. It isn't a hard concept Kira... but instead of turning to the person you claim to love with your feelings you spend the night in your room with my fiancé. Why the hell wouldn't she run off."
The room was silent. No one gave an inch. Athrun's words had hit Kira hard. It showed on his face but he didn't regret it. There were some things that just had to be said.
Kira turned away and made his way to the door yet again but froze at Athrun's next words.
"And for the record... Cagalli isn't your sister," Athrun turned to look at Murrue before continuing, "I assume that was where you were going about the documents earlier?"
Murrue tensed up before looking from Athrun to Kira and back again. "There... there is that possibility... I... I didn't go through all the papers yet... but it looks like Cagalli might have been adopted."
Kira didn't say a word. It didn't look as if he were effected at all but the tensing of his shoulders betrayed him. He continued out the door silently not bothering to look back.
Murrue, Lacus and Athrun sat in the living room quietly. Athrun was hunched over his hands covering his face and Lacus had taken a seat beside him. Her arms were wrapped around him as if trying to comfort him.
"Don't." She whispered.
"I shouldn't have said it."
"He had to hear it sometime. It's just as well if was from you."
"He... he was really hurt... I didn't mean... I was just so angry..."
"Shhh..." Lacus shushed.
Murrue smiled slightly as she saw the loving scene between the couple before glancing out the window. Despite the state that things were in now she knew everything would be alright.
It was apparent from the way they all behaved with each other. Lacus and Athrun loved each other. It was obvious nothing would tear them apart. And despite the confusion between Cagalli and Kira it was obvious the two loved each other as well. And no matter what they decided to do they would be together through all of it.
No doubt the information she had revealed to them had shocked Kira and sent his emotions whirling but it would serve for good in the end. And she would make sure that once all was said and done nothing would hurt these children or come between them. Not the war. Not anything.
Mwu had been ripped from her reaches before they could even fully explore what they had... before they could cherish their relationship fully. What was the point of the past repeating itself? Her decision made she turned back to Athrun and Lacus to focus on the matter at hand.
Lacus caught Murrue's eyes and asked, "Should we go look for them?"
"No. Let them be. Kira knows Cagalli the best... he'll know where she is and... they have to fix this on their own."
"Hm."
"Murrue-san... you said there was a possibility that Cagalli was adopted, so there's also the possibility that she wasn't... how will we know for sure?"
"Mmm. Well the information that I came across suggests that she was... It's one of the reasons why I didn't want Kira to pick me up at the airport when I arrived... I was meeting with the former lab workers from the Archangel... they should have a blood sample from each of the crew.
Blood samples from both Kira and Cagalli have been sent to be analyzed... the results should be hear any day now..."
Athrun stared at her in shock.
"If you knew this was a possibility why didn't you mention it sooner?"
"...Kira and Cagalli have gone through a lot... both now and during the war... they lost people that were dear to them... they found out they were brother and sister and had to push aside whatever they really felt for each other... and while their fighting with their feelings now
...Should I have given them false hope?" She asked, her piercing through him.
The answer was obvious so he stayed silent his hand clutching Lacus' and they sat waiting for something. Anything.
Whether or not Murrue had been right in waiting to tell them, now only one thing was certain. Whatever would happen was solely up to Cagalli and Kira and despite their wishes to help they could only wait and see what they decided.
Thanks for reading people... I know this wasn't the best chapter but I was kinda rushing it. I'll try to make up for it next time. Please review people!
And oh... No I won't be abandoning the story so don't you worry about it ;p
