Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Seed.
Note: thanks for the reviews. And I'm sorry it's taking me so long to update. About the pairings (everyone asked the same thing) I honestly can't promise any pairings at this point. I just type as ideas pop into my head. There will be one with Cagalli soon but I'm not telling u who. And fortunately or unfortunately this couple won't last till the end of the story.
Chapter: 2
Why? That's the question I keep asking myself. But in all honesty I think I know why she left and I can't help but think it's mainly my fault. I've heard her complain and such. I didn't think she would actually run away. I tried to tell myself she's okay but I can't help but think other wise.
"Kira" I turned at the sound of my mother's voice. She let herself into my room and sat beside me on my bed. "Kira" she said hesitantly. "I know you and Cagalli talked with each other often and….. I wanted to know if she said anything to you about running away." She looked up expectantly with a hint of hope in her eyes. "No" I said without reasoning. "Well do you know why she might have run away?" I debated in my head whether or not to tell her before I finally said no. She got up and walked towards the door. "Silly of me to think you wouldn't tell me" she said. "You're my bright child"
Now I definitely know why she left.

Cagalli slowly walked down the dark road. She was tired from her previous run in and seriously needed some rest but she was determined to get as far away from home as possible.
As she walked on she spotted a light. When she came closer she noticed that it was a small convenience store. "I need to load up on food before heading into the forest anyway" she told herself.
The owner of the store was reading a newspaper when she walked in. He looked up at the sound of the chimes but resumed back to his paper after a glance.
"Aren't you a little young to be out on your own" Cagalli turned when she heard the guy speak. "I can take care of myself" the owner just ignored her response and continued reading his paper.
"Do you have a road map?" The guy looked up and noticed she had quite a few groceries. "You're running away aren't you" Cagalli looked at the guy. "That's none of your business"
The store started ringing up the items and threw in a roadmap. "You know that's not such a smart thing to do since I'm the only person you'll find for miles" he hinted. "I'll worry about that later" she told him.

Mom is officially out of the grief stage and is completely in denial. "She never was that smart" she would say "…. And she definitely wasn't pretty. I told her she should be more like her cousin Stellar. But noooo, she wouldn't listen!"
Dad on the other hand seems to have skipped denial and grief all together and went straight for accepting the fact that she was gone. "Via, get over it. The girl's gone. How about we get another kid? Would that make you feel better?"
Man the more I stayed around them the more depressed I got. So I decide to go for a walk. I was hoping to get some kind of idea as to where Cagalli could be but instead I ran into a classmate, Lacus Clyne. She's a nice girl, really, but now is not the time to be surrounded by someone so purky.
"So Kira right?"
(Duh. We have the same homeroom.) "Yeah that's me"
"I heard about your sister. I'm so sorry"
(I doubt you even knew my sister.) "Don't be. It's not your fault"
"So did you find her or anything?"
(What do you think?) "No, we haven't gotten a word"
"I'm sorry"
(Why the heck is she so sorry?) "It's okay"
"Where are you going?'
(None of your business.) "Nowhere"
"Would you mind if I walked with you?"
(Yes.) "No, not at all"
"I haven't seen you at school lately. Why?"
(She's so naïve it's annoying! "I'm a little down right now"
"From what I've heard, not to many people are fond of you sister"
(Why would she say that? I mean don't you think I would know that) "…."
"I didn't mean any harm by it. Um, I didn't really know your sister. Can you descried her?"
(Oh my…..) "Well um she's blonde….."
"Hey Kira!" I turned and saw Athrun. (Saved!) "Sorry Lacus. I've gotta go" Then I ran as fast as I could. I ran from the naïve girl. I ran from questions about my sister. I ran …..
"So any news on your sister?"
….. into another trap. (Out of the frying pan and into the fire)
