Sorry guys I haven't updated in a while. I had Writer's Block. Anyways if the first sentence of this repeats, just ignore it. There's a problem but I'm too lazy to fix it. I'll try to update faster from now on ". I put some AxC fluff in here since you guys have been waiting for it. R&R!
Cagalli walked around and observed the camp. Apparently, they had one more day of travel before they reached the city of Zaft, but Cagalli didn't think that she could handle it, she had pins and needles and her feet were particularly numb from riding on the horse for so long. She then spotted a familiar head of light magenta hair.
"Luna!" She called to her new friend.
"Miss Cagalli!" The magenta haired girl turned around and waved to her approaching friend.
Cagalli stood in front of her. "I told you before to call me Cags or at least leave out the Miss." Cagalli sighed, exasperatedly.
"Fine, umm hello…err Cags." Lunamaria said awkwardly.
"That's better." Cagalli patted her on the back.
"Cags…I think you should get some sleep, we have a long journey ahead of ourselves." Luna said.
"But I want to wander around some more…" Cagalli whined.
"Fine…but I warn you now, that the soldiers, aren't very safe unless you have supervision from an honest man… They aren't the best creatures to be around when it's night and you're a woman. I know you know how to fight, but they have weapons and you're unarmed." Luna explained.
"Don't worry I'll be fine." Cagalli reassured her.
"You better, or you'll get a scolding from me." Luna said, mostly to reassure herself.
"It'll be okay. See you in the morning Luna." Cagalli waved and walked off.
She saw the familiar face of Yzak arguing with a pretty woman with brown hair. She heard snippets of they're argument but it was mostly them arguing about how Yzak should use her name and stop calling her 'woman'.
Nicol and Dearka were probably in they're tents sleeping. High status soldiers like them had a lot to do and needed as much sleep as possible, as for Athrun she didn't know. Not that she cared. The guy was being more than a jerk to her.
She walked and noticed this area had less people in it. She forgot which direction she walked in to get here, but she didn't fret, after all what could possibly go wrong.
She then saw a gang, or it could be called that, of four soldiers that seemed to be looking right at her. (A/N: You probably know what's going to happen…) They then started to walk toward her. The current event seemed to be processing through Cagalli's brain.
'Oh…There's one thing that could go wrong…Luna did warn me and I came here on selfish reasoning of wanting to see the camp."
She broke out into a run toward the forest, but one of the men caught her wrist.
"What's a pretty lady like you doing out here all alone? Do you want me to escort you back to your tent." The first one said. He then wiggled his eyebrows in what he thought was seductive and charming. Cagalli was repulsed.
"Hey, I think she's the princess of ORB." The second one looked at Cagalli.
'So he's smart enough to know who I am.' Cagalli thought. 'Maybe he'll stop this knowing my identity,'
"We have to stop captain Athrun would kill us if we did anything," The third one said fearfully.
'Great.' She let out a breath she didn't know she'd been holding.
"It's ok we can do what we want with her and let her go later, he'll never know." The fourth one said.
"I agree." The first one said nodding his head showing his approval.
"Oh no…" Cagalli panicked. She then kicked the first one who was behind her in the stomach and ran. (A/N: She stood up for herself, not some useless person now is she?) She entered a clearing in the forest with a small body of water and a few large rocks. She could still hear shouts. Obviously they were still following her.
She saw a head of blue hair. Athrun, her only hope at the moment. (A/N YAY! Ok I'll stop my commentary now ) She ran up to him, frantically. She saw him asleep on a rock. He must've been exhausted. He looked like an innocent little boy when he was asleep; she knew she had to wake him up but that face made it hard. She shook his shoulders.
"Athrun wake up please!" She said frantically.
He mumbled something incoherent, rubbed his eyes and looked straight into the amber eyes of Cagalli. He looked surprised for a minute, but then slipped his cool demeanor back on.
"What do you want." He asked. "Why did you disturb me?"
Cagalli was just about to explain when the soldiers came into view.
"What happened?" He asked Cagalli while looking at the soldiers, but surprisingly not anger toward Cagalli. His eyebrows were furrowed out of anger directed at the soldiers.
"This wench tried to run away Sir and we went to catch her!" One of the soldiers lied.
"No I didn't! They tried to…to" Cagalli trailed off. Emerald eyes looked at her concernedly.
"I can tell right off the bat who's lying and who's not." Athrun said.
The soldiers sighed out of relief and Cagalli looked shocked as if Athrun hadn't believed her. Athrun raised his fist and punched one of the soldiers. He then punched and kicked the others to the ground too. Cagalli was shocked, but in a different way.
"Shame to men," Athrun said coolly, he unsheathed his sword and prepared to stab one of them for a painful death. "Prepare to die for your sin." He raised his sword and sent it plummeting downward but it halted in midair. Cagalli had stopped him.
"Stop Athrun, they aren't worth it!" She held on to Athrun's wrists with all of her strength preventing the sword from going downward.
"Sorry for all we've done Miss Cagalli!" The soldiers said and ran out of fear. She'd be sure not to go out at night anymore. If it happened again she might not be so lucky.
Athrun sheathed his sword and sat on the rock again.
"Thanks…" Cagalli said awkwardly.
"No problem…" Athrun said. "Those fools shouldn't exist."
"I couldn't agree more…" Cagalli said. "Well, I guess I should be getting back to my tent."
"It's too dangerous just sleep here." Athrun invited.
Cagalli smiled. For once he wasn't being a jerk to her.
"Alright then, I'll sleep…here!" Cagalli leant against the same rock Athrun was against, except she was facing the body of water.
"Then I guess I'll sleep here…" Athrun put his head in her lap, in what almost seemed to be shyness. She didn't want to move him.
"Hey Athrun, thanks again for err, punching the soldiers." Cagalli thanked him again awkwardly. She never knew Athrun could be so nice.
"And thank you for stopping me from killing them." He thanked her and shut his eyes.
Enough fluff for ya? R&R I'd really appreciate it. I'll add lots more fluff late on, but they're going to go to the City of Zaft. How will Cagalli react meeting Athrun's father? Again R&R to find out .
