Hahaha, UnderProtection! You cannot fill my inbox with nonsense as I have reached the deadline!! Mwahahaha!!!

Chap. 6 Sparring Showdown; Athrun Vs. Cagalli!!!

"Athrun Zala Vs Cagalli Yula Atha." Kira answered loudly, still smirking. Many of the other employees had heard this and came to watch.

"20 Dollars says that Athrun loses." Shinn called to Kira. Kira looked back at Cagalli and Athrun and then to Shinn.

"Alright, I'll take that bet. 20 Dollars says Athrun wins." He answered.

"Cagalli, are you sure about this?" Lacus asked worriedly. Cagalli however kept her stare on Athrun with a smirk on her lips. She bent down and took her slippers off and handed them to Lacus.

"Can you take care of these please, Lacus?" The pink-haired waitress reluctantly took the slippers. "Don't worry, Lacus, this is for fun, nothing like the spar against the grey-haired freak." (Sorry UnderProtection, I couldn't help myself!) Lacus mumbled a small ok and continued to look at her worriedly. Cagalli turned and gave her a warm smile and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'll be fine, Lacus, it's not like Athrun wants to kill me." She chuckled. "We're just having some fun." Lacus brightened up and smiled.

"Ok, Cagalli, I know you'll be fine. If there's anything you need, just ask me and I'll do my best to fulfil it." Cagalli smiled and looked at Lacus' clothing compared to hers.

"Actually Lacus, there is one thing you could do for me."

"Hey, give me minute, I'll be right back!" Cagalli called over to Athrun. He looked at her and smirked.

"Where are you going? Running away already? I didn't think I was that intimidating to make you chicken out."

"I find you as intimidating as a box full of kittens. And as for running away, I never run away from challenges that I call myself!" With that, she disappeared with Lacus to the female staff changing rooms.

"What do you think they're doing?" Kira asked

"I have no idea." Athrun answered and shook his head. He rolled his sleeves up further on his black shirt and cleared away more space for the fight.

A few minutes went by and the door to the female changing rooms opened and the two girls stepped out. Athrun turned to look at Cagalli and did a double take. His eyes were glued to her and began to wonder around her body. She was wearing Lacus' work uniform. A black blouse and black skirt that showed off her long toned legs that were usually hidden under her long evening dresses. He continued to stare at her until she snapped him out of his thoughts.

"What? Did you really think that I could fight my best in that big thing?" She pointed towards Lacus who was now wearing her evening gown. He smiled and shook his head.

"So, you ready now?" He asked

("I was born ready, bitch!" Nah just joking lol would have been cool though hehe :D )

"Bring it on" She smirked and took her usual stance.

They both charged at each other attacking, dodging and blocking each other. The staff and customers watched cheering them both on and waiting to see who would be the final victor. Both of them had landed attacks but they were weak and ineffective. Athrun threw a punch to her left and she countered it by punching his fist away. She grabbed his other arm and pushed him off balance, "There, the final blow and he's off his feet!" She thought as she raised her leg up to kick him in the shoulder until she felt something snag her leg preventing her to move her leg up higher. Looking down she saw that the skirt had stopped her and she regained her balance on two feet and moved away from him.

Both were panting lightly now, they had both been fighting non-stop for at least 5 minutes. She looked around her and spotted a piece of glass under a toppled chair that had been smashed when Yzak had thrown the table. She ran towards it and picked it up. Athrun' eyes widened and was about to open his mouth until she held the glass piece to the hem of her skirt and turned to Lacus.

"May I?" She asked. Lacus smiled and nodded. "Thanks" the blonde replied. She used the glass to cut a bit of the skirt and then threw it away. She grabbed the skirt and ripped the cut so that there was a slit going up the skirt and ended very high up on her right thigh. Athrun looked at the slit in the skirt as she stood up and he swallowed hard. "Just when I thought she couldn't look more tempting"He thought. Snapping his focus back on the main objective, he couldn't help taking small glances down at her legs and the slit in the skirt.

"Well, shall we continue?" She asked with a small smirk. "It's like she wanted to tempt me!!" He thought and looked over to Kira with a pleading look that said "What am I supposed to do now?" Kira just gave a toothily grin and-

"You have no time to be looking away when an opponent is right in front of you!" He turned his head to look at her and noticed she was now, in mid-air, releasing a deadly punch that was aimed for his face.

"Shit." He thought.

Still in mid-air, Cagalli smirked at the poor man that could do nothing to dodge fierce her attack. She looked into his emerald pools and witnessed fear. "Serves him right for taking me on!" In a split second, the fear vanished and his pupils shrunk into a small dot. She threw the punch forward only to miss by millimetres. "WHAT?! How did he dodge it! IMPOSSIBLE!" She screamed in her mind. Her eyes widened at the boys sudden movement and she turned to face him. His face was impassive and wiped of emotions. His eyes still the same as they were only seconds ago.

After regaining composure of her stance, she threw a variety of attacks at the impassive boy only to have them dodged or tapped away easily."What the hell is going on? One minute he's a sitting duck and the next he's untouchable!" Throwing a few more attacks, she put all of her energy left into her right hand to deliver another punch to the face. "Just a little further…" She missed again.

The next thing Cagalli knew was that she was lying on the flat of her back with him lying on top of her. She looked up at him with wide eyes as he smirked back at her.

"Well, how did this happen?" He joked. His eyes were back to normal and contained a twinkle in them.

Still in the phase of shock, Cagalli looked down at their position and looked back to how close their faces was. Athrun noticed this and looked for himself at their closeness and flushed red. He had been lying on top of her with his right hand under her head from where he held to stop the impact on her head and his left hand was currently holder her right thigh up from where he tackled her. His hand slid down an inch on her thigh, feeling the bareness. He lay between her legs starring at her as if memorising what she looked like under him. Her hair was sprawled out on the floor and was her breathing was rugged as was his. "So close…I could just lean forward to ki-"

"YEAH! Cough it up, Shinn!" Athrun snapped out of his thoughts and turned to look at Kira who was now celebrating his 20 dollar win against a sulking Shinn.

"Umm, Athrun? Can you….get off me now??" He looked back down at Cagalli who was now blushing pretty hard at their current position. He smiled evilly and sat up straddling her hips.

"Why? You look pretty comfortable there." Her eyes widened and her face was red as a tomato. He chuckled at her reaction, got up and offered his hand. She took the hand whilst mumbling a small thank you and tried de-colouring her ruby face.

"Cagalli!" Cagalli turned her head towards the source of the voice and saw her body guard, Kisaka.

"Kisaka? What are you doing here?"

"Well, I had a call saying that you had got into a little scrap up with your date and came to see what was going on. Seems like you didn't really need me in the first round, but after watching you lose to Mr. Zala, seems like you need to start training again." Cagalli pouted and turned her head away.

"If he hadn't tackled me, I would have had him" She defended. Athrun chuckled and decided to step in.

"It's like you said to Yzak, 'you threw all those attacks and not one hit me.' Sound familiar?" His eyes twinkled playfully and the princess was left speechless and huffing.

"Hmph. Just wait till' next time, Zala. I'll have you flat on your back!"

"As long as your on top of me, I wouldn't mind" He smirked and winked seductively at her. She held her blush down and smiled him then walked towards the restaurant doors. Kisaka chuckled as he followed the princess whilst mumbling something about kids these days. As she neared the doors, she slightly turned her head back to look at Athrun through the corner of her eye and her smile grew wider.
