Chapter 28: Their End

Kira and Ahmed were waiting behind Cagalli when she had found the note sticking out of her locker. They peered over her shoulder as she cautiously unfolded it.

In big, red ink letters: WHORE

Black ink:

Athrun

Kira

Dearka...who's next?

The paper trembled between Cagalli's fingers.

"Why are these…" Ahmed started. He shook his head. "Why is Athrun—"

Kira took the paper from Cagalli's hands. She did not budge. His eyes scanned it once, then twice, then a third. With each scan, his brows furrowed deeper. After a while, Cagalli's arms eventually fell to her side, but her face remained placid.

"Cagalli, are you alright?" Kira asked.

For a moment she was silent, not moving, not speaking. It caused Ahmed and Kira to stare at each other with concerned eyes. But, then she turned her head, gave them a curt smile, told them she was fine, and began to leave. Kira grabbed her arm.

"Cagalli—"

This time, when she looked at them, her eyes were red and glossy, but her cheeks were dry. With a trembling lip, she snatched her arm from him and hastily walked away. Ahmed followed her.

"I'll fix this," Kira shouted after them. He remained by her locker, once again staring at the note.

"Flay looked at us even more nastily than usual...well...normally she just looks at me that way," Cagalli said as she watched the red head disappear into the back of the cafeteria. "Aren't you going to go after her?"

Kira shook his head and proceeded to place a fry in his mouth.

Both Cagalli and Athrun titled their heads. "She'll be mad at you," Athrun said.

"Not my problem," Kira responded, stuffing his face with more fries.

Athrun and Cagalli looked at each other, then at Kira, and then at Tolle (Who was seated beside Kira), but he too was busy stuffing his face and did not notice their stares.

"Kira, I'll go," Cagalli said, her head hanging low. "I don't want to cause trouble between you and Flay, so I'll eat—"

"You won't, because there isn't anything between me and Flay," he said.

The table fell silent and all eyes were on him.

"Flay and I are done."
