Chapter 3: Problems

Yamato Household

Kira woke up in fear and sweat all over his face breathing heavily. He looked at the alarm clock beside his bed to see that it was 5 o'clock in the morning. He didn't know why he was so scared when the best thing just happened to him the night before. Kira has never had a nightmare before in his entire life so he didn't know what it felt like.

"Since I'm awake, I might as well get ready." Kira got up on his feet and walked to the bathroom on his floor. It's only been a few since Athrun and Lacus came over to sleep and yet he feels so lonely. After brushing his teeth he got into the tub and came out of the shower to hear the sound of his cellphone. Kira picked up the phone while he was drying his hair.

"Hello?"

"Kira is that you? It's Shinn by the way."

"Yeah, What's up Shinn?"

"Well um...can you come of to my house cause something...bad happened."

"Sure but why?"

"I'll tell you when you come over! Hurry!"

"Okay okay! Chills man but I need to make breakfast for Cagalli though."

"Ok but make it fast!"

Kira legged it downstairs, made Cagalli some toast and left it on the table wrapped and a letter on it saying how he isn't at the table. Then ran upstairs to get his blazer and bag for school.

Shinn's House

Kira knocked on the door to see a very impatient Shinn. Shinn grabbed Kira inside the house, dragged Kira up the stairs to his room and threw Kira on his bed then sat down at a table facing the bed.

"So Shinn how come I'm here?"

"You're like my closest friend next to Athrun but he didn't pick up..." Shinn coughed really loud.

"Shinn just spill it out."

"I have a medical problem and what's worse is that Stella broke up with me." *Cough*

Kira sat still for a moment.

"Shinn are you going to be okay?"

"I-I don't know. "

"Does Stella know about this though?" Kira took Shinn's rubix cube and played it.

"No. I don't want her to think it was her fault and she'll treat me differently if she knows."

"But Shinn, she'll find out."

"Kira I don't want her to know yet, not yet. Please leave it at that and don't tell anyone. You're the only person I can trust right now since we're best mates" Kira stood up and walked to Shinn.

"I'll promise not to tell anyone." The two knuckle bashed promised then Kira went to school. As Kira walked to school, he walked on the road when the green man light was on. He heard a car coming a thought that the car would stop. But it got closer and closer and then Kira new he had to run but it was too late. The last thing he saw was a bright light and someone screaming his name. "KIRA! WATCH OUT!"

Hospital

Shinn heard the news and imediantely ran to the hospital, when he got there he gave Cagalli, Athurn and Lacus a call about Kira and they all rushed to the hospital. When they got there, they could see that Kira was treated in a hospital bed. A doctor came out with news.

"Doc what happened to Kira?"

"Mr Yamato is in a state of a damaged rib cage, his right side of the lungs are not pumping enough blood."

"Doctor, is he okay? When will he be released?" Cagalli was really concerned

"Well the treatment will be done in 2 weeks so he will be released in 2 and a half week."

"Thank you doctor!" Lacus bowed her head in thank you

It's been 18 days and Kira was released from the hospital but still had a bandage on his head. There was a car waiting outside for him, Cagalli didn't tell him that someone came to pick him up but he still went to the car. Inside the car was a red headed girl and a tall brunette. Kira froze before entering the car.

"Hello Mr Yamato. It's been a long time" Kira new that it was Flay's father.

"Mr Allstar. Why are you here!"

"Well my daughter told me..." The man looked at Flay then back at Kira. "You're cancelling the engagement? Cheating on my daughter with a mistress from a rivalry company...um...Miss Clyne?"

"Firstly I know that Flay is cheating on me with Sai my BEST FRIEND! And what do you mean by rivalry with the Clyne family?"

"Oh Kira you need to know that the Clyne family runs a CEO as well. Them along with the Zalaa CEO is out to destroy my company."

"Lacus and Athrun CEO? Oh yeah their fathers run it...Mr Allstar doesn't know I'm friends with them" Kira thought

"So? I would agree with them. All your company do is blackmail, dominate and destroy. Like what you're doing now!"

"Which is why we need you! Settle things out with the companies and marry my beloved daughter who adores you!"

Just then Cagalli, Athrun and Lacus came to pick Kira up. They ran over to Kira.

"Kira why are you there..." Lacus didn't finish his sentence.

"Mr Allstar why are here? Are you trying to get to us by befriending Kira!"

"Oh Kira I didn't know you had already met the next successors of Clyne and Zalaa CEO."

Cagalli looked at Flay.

"Flay what are you playing at bringing you father here!"

"Cagalli don't interfer!" Kira shouted at Cagalli.

Kira looked around at his two friends then at Flay and her father.

"I will never marry or support you company and Flay even if I die!"

"If you wish Mr Yamato but. You'll regret it!"

Flay's car drove off with Kira pulling the 3. They all went back to Kira and Cagalli's house in silence.

Yamato Household

"Um...Kira what-"

"Don't ask!" Lacus kept her mouth shut.

"Okay then so why don't we get some snacks Lacus?" Lacus nodded and the girls went to the kitchen.

"Kira what happened? Who brang you to the hospital?"

"I-I-I don't know. I saw a bright light...and I think it was Stella but...that person in the car didn't stop driving!"

"Kira?"

"Wha-" Kira put one hand to his head.

"Kira are you okay?"

"Yeah but trying to remember that-her face hurts!"

"So the drivers a girl."

"Yeah that's all I remember."

*RING RING*

The phone rang and Kira went to pick it up.

"Hello this is Kira speaking."

...

"Really? Is he okay?"

...

Kira dropped the phone with a petrified look on his face.

"Kira what's wrong?" Athrun ran to Kira.

"Shinn...his...we need to go."

Athrun understood Kira's word and new something happened to Shinn.

Cagalli and Lacus came in seeing that Kira and Athrun was leaving.

"Kira...Athrun where are you guys going." Cagalli questioned.

"To see Shinn." Athrun and Kira put on a sad face.

"We'll go too!" Cagalli nodded and the boys then agreed.

Asuka Household

Kira opened the front door of Shinn's house and saw a black haired women on her knees crying next to someone on the sofa. Kira noticed that Stella was covering her mouth trying not to cry but had tears dropping down her cheeks.

"Stella what's going on with Shinn?" Cagalli and Lacus rushing over to her and hugging her

"Shinn's...in a...coma!" Stella let out all her tears and cried on the two's shoulders.

Kira walked over to the sleeping Shinn with Athrun. Athrun knelt down next to Shinn's mother calming her down.

"Shinn why are you like this...it's only been an hour since I got out of hospital and now you're going in."

Kira looked over at the crying mother.

"When is the ambulance coming?"

"In 10 minutes" She sobbed.

He also conforted Shinn's mother, until the ambulance came. Shinn was carried to the ambulance car with his mom and Stella inside. They waved goodbye as the ambulance car disappeared.

"Let's get back to Kira and Cagalli's house." Athrun said breaking the silence. They nodded then walked back to Kira and Cagalli's house in complete silence. They walked through the front door, Kira collapsed on the couch, Cagalli went to get some refreshments with the help of Lacus and Athrun turned the TV on.

Cagalli and Lacus came back with popcorn and a big bottle of coke.

"What are those for?" Kira questioned

"We are watching a movie to lighten up the mood." Cagalli said with Lacus nodding.

Kira and Athrun looked at each other then smiled.

"Lets get something to watch then."

They started watching and about half way through the movie, the homephone rung. Kira got off the couch and walked to the phone and picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Is this Lacus?"

"Oh Mr Clyne, no this is Kira."

"Hello there young man, may I talk with my daughter please?"

"Yes sir." Kira called Lacus over then walked back to the couch.

A few minutes later, Lacus came back with a sad face.

"Guys, I have to go home. Athrun, my dad wanted to talk to you." Athrun then had the same face as Lacus.

"Okay. I'll drive you home." Athrun turned to siblings and bidded farewell then left with Lacus.

Kira and Cagalli were curious about them, why they had sad faces and had to leave early so they one and only thing they did was stalk the two.

Once Athrun and Lacus drove off, Kira and Cagalli drove in their car a few blocks behind them.

"Are you sure we should be doing this? I mean, that's basically calling us bad people..." Kira worringly said.

"Brother, its called being serious." Kira nodded then they continued to stalk the other two. Athrun made a stop at Lacus' house, and got out walking into her house with her.

Kira and Cagalli quietly got out of their car and walked to the house. They peaked into a random window and surprisingly where Athrun and Lacus was. The siblings heard two other voices, one was probably Mr Clyne.

Lacus: Dad, why are we discussing about this now?

Mr Clyne: Because the time has come.

Athrun: But we can make our own choices.

Mr Clyne: Sorry but without you two combining our companies, we won't be able to keep our CEO safe.

Mr Zalaa: You two chose this a long time ago to save us, please keep that in mind.

Lacus: Why does it have to be so soon?

Mr Clyne: Our company is going to need all of Athrun's support. It's to keep you alive.

Mr Zalaa: The wedding will be held next week sunday no further questions asked!

Athrun: Father! Can't we change that? We can still support each other!

Mr Clyne: There needs to be a bond between to CEOs to make it stronger, there is no other way.

Mr Zalaa: Lets go son.

Kira and Cagalli stopped listening, they went back to their car and drove back silently and heartbroken. They got back to the house.

"I can't believe that they kept this from us!" Kira was no more heartbroken but angry.

"I thought our kiss mean't something but...shes getting married to Athrun!"

"Kira, I know how you feel, I like Athrun as well..." Cagalli broke down in tears, something Kira never saw before. He calmed her which helped him calm down then they went to sleep.

"How can Lacus do this to me? I gave my heart to her a few days ago. She kissed me back. I thought there were no secrets! But...shes already in engaged...how can I face her now? I should call this...relationship to an end." Kira shut his eyes and went sleep.
