Only In Your Heart

Disclaimer: I don't own GS or GSD or any companies related. I only own this story.

Author's Note: Okay, I know I didn't finish this story as I promised on late July but I have reasons. First, I lost the document so I had to re-type (Frustrating, let me tell you since it's the longest I've written.). Next, I was busy re-furnishing my repair room (Sigh, yes finally those construction workers finish re-paring my room's roof…sigh…annoying…). Anyways, there are more reasons but it will take too long to explain. . "" So, I'm going to skip it. Always, Thanks so much to all my readers and reviewers from the last chapter! Enjoy!

P.s. I'm almost finished with this story! Yay! Don't worry there's a new fic one after this!

------------------------------------

Previously in Chapter 37:

"I won't let you go so easily!" Inoue shot another dagger towards Cagalli.

"NOooo!" Athrun sensed the dagger and pushed Cagalli away making him the dagger's target. The dagger grazed Athrun by the side. "Athrun!" screamed Cagalli.

Clunk!

The door opened wide with a group of policemen pointing guns at Mao. Lacus and Murrue came behind them. They all saw Inoue Mao's action.

------------------------------------------

Ch. 38: You're saved! …Or are you?

"…Ms. Inoue Mao? You're under arrest for kidnapping, blackmailing…" said a police officer pointing a gun at Mao incase Mao attacks again.

Mao's blood ran cold with widened eyes. 'She couldn't go to jail…she can't…never!' "…NO…NOOooo!" She screamed startling everyone. She rush towards the entrance to make her quick escape but the she fail to do so, the police caught her. Mao struggled to get the police away from her. "NOOo! I CAN'T GO TO JAIL! NOOO!" Inoue Mao yelled, scaring everyone.

"Sorry Ms. Mao. I repeat, you're under arrest for…" a police officer said handcuffing a crying Mao together. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do now will be held against you…" the officer continue his 'typical law arrest speech'.

While the police officers were asking others and investigating the place, paramedics came rushing to the scene where victims were injured.

"…Athrun, you idiot…hang on, ok? Don't leave me…" Cagalli cried with tears forming under her eyes. Athrun fainted as the much blood that he lost from the stabbing. The lad's blood was tainting the floor red.

Some one's warm hand landed on Cagalli's shoulder. The blonde looked up and saw Kira and the others. "Cagalli, Athrun is going to be alright. Don't worry." Kira said with a reassuring smile. Cagalli wiped some tears off her pale face with her hand. She weakly smiled. "Thank you Kira, and everyone else."

Paramedics came rushing towards the bleeding patient. "Everyone please step aside." Everyone moved away from the working paramedics. Cagalli stepped closer to one of the paramedics who had blue eyes and asked, "I need to go with him to make sure he's alright, please." The blue-eyed paramedic nodded her head.

Then Cagalli turned to Kira, "Kira, I—" "Go, Athrun needs you right now. The others and I can take care of this. Don't worry, we'll be at the hospital soon." Kira said patted Cagalli's back. The blonde nodded and followed the paramedics outside where the ambulance was.

--------------------------------

Outside of Mao's house…where the ambulance is located…

All the countless numbers of crazy fans, paparazzi, and TV reporters that were standing outside in front of Athrun's mansion are now rushing to the scene where Cagalli got kidnapped. Once they heard that their favorite superstars weren't at the manor but at a kidnapper's house, they all rushed to the place.

Confused is when they heard the news from a police who was running to his car. Not knowing the real answer they all rushed towards the vulnerable police and asked. Frighten by them, the policeman answered them with a 'Yes, it's true.'

Now waiting outside of Mao's house, they frighten, that something really happened to Athrun and Cagalli yelled their names out to get them to come outside and proof them wrong.

A person came out.

All the yelling of names stopped and silent came over them.

A female with black hair and in her 20's came out of the house with handcuffs on her both wrists and followed by a policeman right behind her.

Confusion was stated on all their faces. "Who's that? Why is she in handcuffs?" One of the fans asked. Everyone shrugged. Lots of questions were putout and a big loud crowd noise formed. "…Hey, isn't that the famous paparazzi and newspaper writer, Inoue Mao?" Another fan said loud enough for everyone to hear. "Ehh? That's her? But then…why is she in handcuffs?" "I wish I knew…" Every eye, were on Inoue Mao not knowing if the famous writer and paparazzi really did a crime that would horrified them all.

Upon hearing rumors and questions, Mao who was walking towards the police car gave them a cold hard angry look at them. They flinched. All the flashes, taping, and rumors frustrated her more.

"I'll be back…I swear…" the dark hair lady whispered to thin air as she got in the back of the police car.

-------------------------------

After Mao left, Athrun on the stretcher and being carried by paramedics came out followed by Cagalli…

Every fan screamed in horror as they saw Hot now chalk pale Athrun Zala on a stretcher with secret-girlfriend Cagalli Hibiki trailing behind.

"What happened to Athie?" "Oh My Gaw! Maybe is the fault of that Mao-woman! I knew there was something wrong as the second I saw her…" "Ehhh? Really? It's that Mao who did it?" "…I don't know, maybe…"

Everyone wanted to hug the injured Athrun but the police restrained all of them from doing so. The ambulance just left…

--------------------------------------

In the hospital…

They rushed Athrun to the emergency room as Cagalli waited outside.

"How could I been so stupid? If I had notice that Mao shot that dagger towards me then I could have moved away then Athrun wouldn't get stabbed in my place…why do I always have to be a burden? Oh Athrun…I'm sorry…I hope you are ok…" Cagalli thought while sitting outside the emergency room.

A nurse walked by the blonde and noticed her pale worried face and asked kindly not recognizing the super model in front of her, "Miss, you don't look so well. Maybe you should rest for a while and come back to check on your love one."

Cagalli looked up and the nurse and shook her head answering, "No, I'm…I'm ok--" the blonde's voice whispered away as she faints towards the nurse. "(Gasp.) Miss! Are you alright?" the nurse called out holding the blonde incase she falls again. The voice of the kind nurse could be hardly heard through the weak ashen blonde.

-------------------------------------------------

Four long hours have passed…ten o'clock at night…

"Hnn…Ath…run…I'm…sor…ry…" Fair-haired lass whispered moving her fragile stiff body around an unfamiliar bed. Cagalli slowly opened her eyes, and blurrily saw a 'blue haired lad' sleep-sitting beside her bed. She didn't notice nor mind, yet. The blonde only noticed that she was in a hospital room, for conditional patients.

"I guess I fainted due to lack of energy…" Cagalli thought in her head while blinking a few times. She turned her head back to the blue inky hair person realizing that that was… "…Athrun?" Cagalli finally spoke out loud, her voice cracking.

Athrun was just right there, sleeping in a sitting position. He had hospital pants and a white shirt on and the most peaceful yet tiring sleeping face that Cagalli has ever seen.

Athrun shook awake when he heard Cagalli's soft yet cracked voice. He turned to his love and looked at her with sleepy eyes, "Cagalli, are you ok—?" the lad asked brushing some hair away from Cagalli's face.

"Athrun!" Cagalli said pouncing on Athrun with some tears forming under her eyes. She hugged him like there was no tomorrow.

The inky blue hair guy was bewildered from his lover's action. "…Cagalli?" puzzled, he asked returning the embrace.

"(Sob)…I…I'm…(sniff)…so…sorry…(sniff)…for…been…(sniff)…a…burden…(sniff)…to…you…(sob)…if, I…never--" the lovely blonde cried on her man's shoulder. Athrun shook his head, "Cagalli, you are never a burden to me…I love you that's why I have to protect you no matter if I get hurt as long as you are safe, I'm happy."

She was really touched but… "Athrun…you idiot. You have to always sacrifice yourself for me." Cagalli said wiping the tears off her red-like eyes and making a cute pout.

Athrun chuckled for the first time in days, "that's because I'm your idiot." With that he brought his face towards hers and gave her a blissful kiss.

After parting for some air, Cagalli asked Athrun looking at his side part where his had been grazed by that lunatic woman's aim, "How's your wound?"

"…Its fine, the doctor told me not to move around much but I had to see you--"

"Athrun, you shouldn't move around much, listen to the doctor. What if you--"

"It's nothing…it's just a scratch. I'll be fine." The lad reassured her.

"I'll be drained from life if something happen to you…" Cagalli whispered softly to Athrun while looking at his astonishing emerald orbs.

"…Ahahah, actually, you scared me to death." the emerald-eyed boyfriend laughed brightening the atmosphere. Cagalli's heartbeat jumped from the sudden action.

"Huh?" she asked with a puzzled look.

"Well when I woke up from the surgery, I asked the nurse that was taking care of me if my girlfriend came with me to the hospital. And she said 'oh, you mean that miss who was waiting in front of the surgery room that later on fainted?' As soon as I heard that you fainted, I rushed towards you room…Man, you gave me a heart attack…" Athrun explained sighing with a weak smile on his expression.

"Fine then! I'm sorry for giving you a heart attack!" Cagalli yelled and pouted her lips, turning away from her Athrun, hands cross against her chest.

Athrun panicked. "Oh crap, I made her mad! What should I do? Think up dude. You aren't helping…"

"Ah…Cagalli I was just joking! C'mon baby, don't get mad at my stupidity. You know how I am…eh…yah…"

Cagalli still with pouting lips turned back to face him. "You are not stupid."

"Eh?"

"I said, you aren't stupid, you never were…" Cagalli moved closer to Athrun, so close that her lips could almost touch his.

Athrun blushed. He moved closer to her to kiss her again…

BAM!

The door flew opened hard. "CAGALLI!" A brunette guy screamed out followed by a pink hair mistress.

Kira stopped his tracks and stare at his best friend about to kiss his sister. Kira's eye twitched, "Uhh…am I interrupting something?"

Cagalli pulled apart from Athrun. "No, no…nothing…nothing happened…Athrun saw…something on my mouth so…he decided to clean it up for me…ah, yah…clean it up for me…so, don't worry…" Kira and Athrun raised their eyebrow at Cagalli. Lacus just giggled softly in the background.

"Uh huh…right…" Kira said not convinced but mind not that his sister is hospitalized for god sake, there's no time to kill Athrun at the moment. Kira ran to hug his little sister pushing Athrun out of the way. Athrun shook his head and stood beside Lacus, asked where was Mwu and Murrue. She replied that they were informing the media and such, they will be here soon.

"Kira?" Cagalli said dumbfounded as her brother hugged her like she's dead. Cough, she's alive, Kira.

"You scared the crap out of me! I was so freaking scared when I heard that you fainted, you know how mom and dad would scold me if I didn't protect you." Kira said hugging Cagalli like a soft pillow.

"And now they are coming right now to see you." Kira added whispering loud enough for Cagalli to hear and the rest in the room.

"Eh? Mom and dad are coming?" Cagalli said raising her eyebrows.

"Yah, they got so scared when I told them what happen to you." the blonde's brother said letting go of her and scratching the back of his cranium.

Cagalli smacked Kira on the back of his head. "Ow! What's that for?" Kira asked rubbing the back of his head. "You never ever tell mom and dad what happen to me! You know how worry they be come when…"

"Too late…" Kira whispered as he saw his and his sister's parents coming in the room.

"Cagalli!" her mom and dad said hugging their precious daughter as they almost cried.

"…Ah, I'm ok you guys…" Cagalli hugged back. "They over react…A LOT…(Sigh)"

"Are you Ok honey pie? Did those kidnappers do anything wrong to you?" Her mom asked looking at her daughter for scars, found none. Cagalli blushed. "No, they did nothing wrong to me…I just fainted due to lack of sleep."

"Honey, I heard that some one got stabbed. Was that you?" the blonde's dad asked. (A/N: Everyone around Japan knows now that Cagalli got kidnapped and Athrun & others saved her. Athrun also took the knife for her, and all the things that happened around them…and Inoue Mao the kidnapper too…)

"Eh, actually it's Athrun…my boyfriend, who got stabbed instead of me…" Cagalli said lowering her voice when she said the 'boyfriend' part.

Her parents heard it clearly and eyes shocked. They turned around to see a dark blue hair young man standing beside Lacus. Athrun nervously waved at them. "Athrun Zala, the famous movie star and the best friend of Kira?" both parents said getting excited. "Uhm…yes…" Cagalli answered sweat dropping. She knew they would turn out like this even if she introduced Athrun to them sooner or later.

"OH how wonderful to have such a nice boy who cares for our daughter and to take a knife flying towards her." The mom, Via said cheerfully but proud.

"Come here son." Cagalli's dad, Ulen said with opening arms. Kira confused whether his dad was talking about him or about Athrun…well whatever cuz he went to his dad's arms already. His dad quirked an eyebrow, "…Kira, I meant Athrun." he explained opening his arms to Athrun's direction again. "Oh, sorry dad." Kira embarrassed stepped aside.

"Uhm…ok." Athrun went in for the hug that Ulen gave. "Welcome to the family, son." Ulen said patting Athrun's back and letting go of him. "Huh?" Athrun said dumbfounded.

"Dad, we aren't married. Why would you call him your son?" Cagalli asked from the bed confused. "Well, he saved you, right? So, he should be treated like family, isn't that right Athrun?" The blonde's dad turned to the blue head. "…Uh, yah, I guess…" Athrun replied.

A chatter of everyone went around the room until the room door opened and four policemen showed up at the door with badges at hold on their forefingers. "Police." One of the officers said. "Miss Hibiki and Mister Zala are needed for interrogation so please others step outside and wait."

Everyone nodded and left. "Honey we will see you soon, ok?" Via asked her daughter. "Ok, mom." Cagalli waved at them.

"Mister Zala come with us to the other room." A police said to Athrun leading the way. Athrun turned to Cagalli and kiss her on the lips. "I'll be back soon." "Ok." Cagalli kissed back.

-------------------------------------------------

"OK, when was the time…" asked a policeman.

Many questions were asked and many were answered. Tedious, any one would have said. Everyone who was interrogated had to tell everything that happen in the scene or part of the kidnapping plan.

Finally, it ended. "Thank you so much for the cooperation, I hope you get better." The policemen said as they gathered their stuff and left the hospital.

-----------------------------------------------

Somewhere in the desert…(A/N: I don't think there are deserts in Japan but just imagine there are…like in Texas…)

Old country folk songs were been played on the radio as a policeman drove his car to a prison near by. The mysterious person that sat at the back of the car silently looked outside then back at the man that was driving the automobile, silently the dark hair woman struggled out a shiny piece of metal and bended her head to hold it with her mouth.

She looked back to the policeman who was humming the radio song not minding the passenger on the back. Impossible as it may seem, the knife-look alike was pushed a bit through the net that kept the cop and her a part in the vehicle.

The person on the back of the car signaled the metal piece to the policeman's neck, where one of the main arteries is located.

The movement of the metal and the net made a thread ripping noise. "Shit." said the sinister in her mind. The man turned around to find a sharp metal looking thing pointed towards his neck. With wide eyes he rapidly typed in his laptop but the crazy mysterious suspect blew the razor-sharp object so quickly that the man paralyzed at his position and blood, shed all over the car. The now dead body fell on the laptop and unknowingly to the suspect; the body pressed 'enter'.

"That's why you don't mess with me!" the figure said smashing the window hard leaving some shards of glass pointing upwards. She quickly cut the ropes with the left over shards then kicked the door open. Running fast towards the driver's seat, the mad girl kicked the driver's glass window so she could get in and dragged the man out. As she did, she hid the policeman behind a small shrub with a bloody trail behind. Not minding she got back to the car and sped off while searching for the only target she must kill now, Cagalli Hibiki's. She's now searching her location.

-----------------------------------------------

Police station…

"Chief, we got a code red! One of our officers got attacked." A secretary said to her chief. The man came around and asked, "What? Which one?"

"The officer that's taking a suspect by the name of Inoue Mao." She said showing the message that was delivered by a police laptop.

"Oh my god. …Get 6 men to search that area where he was attacked. And bring me a group of armed policemen; I think I know where she's headed to…" the gray haired leader said. "Roger that."

----------------------------------------------------

Hospital…ten minutes before midnight…

With a wide grin, the person who drove a stolen police car and yet killed a police officer is still smiling, as her brilliant mission is almost finished.

She walked up to a kindly dressed receptionist. She looked up, smiled, and asked the pale dark hair woman, "Can I help you Miss?" Grinning widely the dark hair woman replied, "Of course you can." The mysterious lady looked around, as she saw no one in sight.

The receptionist raised her eyebrows as she felt something weird about this woman that is standing in front of her. Smirking like a psycho, the long dark hair person quickly grabbed the receptionist's head and smashed it to the desk like a piece of rock been thrown in a height. To fast the action it was, the receptionist couldn't do anything not even scream help, she's dead now.

After stuffing the receptionist under the desk, she got some gray adhesive tape and taped it around the receptionist's mouth so she wouldn't make any sound, not like she would.

Mad like a hyena, the woman chuckled in her mind. She swiftly stepped into the receptionist's clothing, which really looked like the nurse's clothing. If you haven't seen her a few minutes ago killing some one, you could have been fool at her nurse appearance.

Leaving the receptionist's desk wide open, the woman dressed in the receptionist's clothing quickly typed up the name of the person she targeted. It took a few seconds for the central processing unit to find the patient who was staying in this hospital. Grinning she said to thin air, "Gotcha where I wanted you in."

Silently but fast she moved to the elevator and got in pressing the 4th floor.

----------------------------------------------

4th floor…Cagalli's room floor…

Walking under the dim light, a figure possessed by her own hatred walked towards a room that restrained a certain victim. A victim that everyone loved for certain reasons that can't be tolerate in the dark hair figure's mind. "Target locked." She whispered grinning.

Opening the door, the figure went in locking the door secretly behind.

Cagalli looked up from her book that she was reading and dropped it on her lap. Her eyes widen and mouth hang open. The last words of the blonde could be, "…Inoue Mao…" As the dark hair woman grinned.

-----------------------------------------------
