KIRA's POV

I woke up panting heavily. Then, I just noticed that I'm in my room. Was it just a dream? The whole magic thing? Yeah, maybe. I mean, no one can do that right? And its impossible! Preposterous! Unless if she's a witch or some kind. If its real, then I should still be in the restaurant, not here in my room, right?

I was being optimistic, thinking that all of that is just a dream. It must be... right?

THE WHOLE THING WAS JUST A DREAM!

Suddenly, I heard someone singing. Yes, its voice is very melodious. Angelic. It seems like God gave me something that'll take my stress away.

Then, I realized something.

Oh, shoot.

It can't be! The voice... its... familiar...

I rushed quickly towards my window, hoping that what I heard is just an illusion. There's no way that dream is... a reality! Its absurd!

I spotted someone, dancing gracefully while singing under the big sakura tree. Our dorm has its own garden, that explains it. Its difficult to make out the color of the singer/dancer. Her hair, its the same color of the sakura leaves, swaying around as she moves gracefully from one place to another. The leaves are brushing her figure, swaying with the wind, like cooperating in her beautiful voice, also, it gives a nice projection, it makes her more...

Angelic.

No doubt about it. There's only one person who has pink hair.

Lacus Clyne.

I, unbelievably, opened my windows, hoping to hear her voice. The worries, fear and doubts were quickly erased upon hearing her clearly. She sang to her heart's content. She sang, unminding if someone else's spying on her. She sang like she's made for it. (1)

I sighed. After she sang, I jumped out of my windows and confront her.

"Oh, Mr. Yamato! I'm glad your awake now!" she saidthankfully.

I resisted the urge to faint again. She looked at me, with her head dangling in one side, as if waiting for my answer. I took her hand and run to my room. Its a good thing I'm the only one in the dorm. Everyone's gone, probably spending their Saturday night having fun or maybe, they went home. Me? I have many things to do that'll affect my permanent grade, running some errands and maybe, improving myself at robotics where I suck at. Anyway, we enter the room, made sure I lock my door and talked to her.

"Tell me, what happened!?" I said anxiously.

"You fainted," she said simply.

"Yeah, I know, but..." I was left hanging in the mid-sentence, not knowing what to say anymore. "Tell me the whole thing didn't happened!"

"What do you mean? About what happened at the restaurant? Yes, it did happen," she said, as if it was no big deal.

With this, I flooded her with whole lots of questions.

"Why? How? Who are you really? How come you can do that? Are you a spellcaster or something? And what if someone saw your doing that hocus focus thing? What do you think will happen? Where are you from, really?"

She smiled as I ask these questions, ready to answer them all, truthfully, no lies, but pure truth.

"My name is Lacus Clyne. I came from God's paradise. I am not a spellcaster, but an angel who came down from heaven to protect you. My magic allows me to do things that'll help both of us, and if someone saw what I did, I'll gladly explain the whole thing, starting on who I am."

3rd person POV

Kira Yamato literally smacked his forehead. What was she thinking? Its not as if someone will believe her. Its a nice explanation though, but the doubt is still with him. He just nodded his head, listening to her reasons, unsure if he should believe in every little thing she says.

"Ok, listen to me, If you do that again,. It'll cause chaos and worst of all..." he then whispered something to Lacus. "destruction."

"Destruction?! Oh no!" she said.

"Oh yes, what if someone found out that you're a... paranormal person? It'll be the destruction of yourself and... me,"

Lacus Clyne was almost in tears.

"Oh please! No!"

Kira Yamato is now feeling guilty for saying that over exxagerately.

"Oh, comeon, I was just joking," he said, scratching the back of his head. "Sorry."

"You mean it won't happen?" she asked, looking up.

"Probably yes and probably no. People nowadays are easily obsessed, and if they found out who you are, all those things that I said may probably take place," he stated. "Just promise me one thing, please, don't ever do that again. Come now, I'll make some hot choco for us to drink," he smiled.

NEXT DAY

"Hey Kira, how's the date?" Tolle, Kira's bestfriend, asked him.

"What date?"

"Don't play dumb Kira, we saw you, taking the new girl out," Sai said, winking.

"What? I was just touring her!" Kira replied while blushing.

"Then, what's with the blush Kira? Don't tell me your falling for the girl"

"Ahhh! Look, my baby brother is already a grown man!" Cagalli teased

"No! Truth is... I'm already interested at someone," he said, eyeing Flay carefully.

"Oh yeah?! Then who is it?" Tolle already headlocking Kira.

"Tolle! Let go! It hurts!!!" Kira replied while struggling.

Then, Lacus Clyne approached Kira.

"Mr. Yamato! Its nice to see you! Good morning!" she said, bowing.

"Good morning... AH! TOLLE! LET GO!!!" Tolle still gave Kira a headlock, which was really painful, mind if I say.

"Oh, your the new girl right? Lacus Clyne, I presumed?" this time, it was Mirialla who spoke.

"Un." she replied while bowing her head. "Its nice to meet you all."

Kira, released from Tolle's deadly attack, introduced everyone to her.

Unknown to everyone, Flay was eyeing Lacus really close.

KIRA'S POV

"Ok class, listen up! Since we have extra funds, the school organized a camping trip. This'll help us to train ourselves in case we got lost in wilderness, I need you to make your parents sign this paper, allowing you to partcipate in this camp," Murrue Ramius announced as she pass the papers. "No parents signature means your not allowed to go."

After hearing that, my head spun around Lacus, which was, actually, not minding what Ms. Murrue had said. She was just acting like her usual self, unmindful that something is not going against her plan.

The class was busy chitchatting, noises filled the whole room, planning on who'se gonna be responsible for bringing the food, the drinks etc. I never noticed Tolle and the gang approached me.

"Yo, Kira, we decided it, and you know what? you'll be in charge of food preparations," he smiled.

"Huh?! Uhh.. yeah, sure"

"Anything wrong"

"Nothing. . . "

"Hey, Tolle,"

"What"

"Can I let Lacus join our gang?" I asked, unsure of what they're reaction will be.

"Wha..."

"Please? I mean, look at her, she's lonely, she barely made friends at all. So can I please?"

Tolle and the gang formed a circle,like discussing group matters.

"Ok, then.Of course we can," he said while winking.

"Ahh... Kira's inlove!" Mirialla teased.

"Ahh.. I'm not! Its just that maybe, she'll become too lonely if we let her alone."

"Whatever Kira. Try hiding those feeling even though its obvious."

"I AM NOT!!!"

---------

"Hey Lacus," Kira approached her after the class.

"Oh, Good afternoon Mr. Yamato."

"Please, call me Kira, its bad enough calling me Mr. Yamato, considering that I'm not that honorable."

Lacus giggled.

"So, are you going to the trip?"

"No. I don't think so"

"Why not"

"We need parents signature right? And I don't have any parents. I'm only living because of the support given to me by Him"

"Whose Him?"

"You'll know," she smiled. "And its not like I can see Him everytime I want to."

Kira Yamato thought deeply. A part of him was debating on whether why he should help her. It is true that he discovered her secrets, but inside him, he never want to leave her, no matter where he goes. And that's the reason why he talked to Tolle about it.

"I know, why don't let my parents sign it for you?"

"Oh no! Mr. Yamato!" Lacus said, waving her hands. "I don't want to be a burden to you!"

"Your not a burden, Lacus. Your a friend, and friends help each other when they're in trouble." he stated while flashing a smile.

"A friend? I am your friend?" she asked.

"Yes, you are," someone butted in. It was Tolle and the gang. "Kira told us that you barely made friends at all. And to be honest, we weren't sure if they are your real friend. From now on, you'll be hanging out with us," He said, smiling.

Lacus Clyne was lost in words. Friend? No one has ever said that before. Well, the angels said it once but never she felt this welcoming before. She cried, then she kneeled down.

"Thank you everyone! Thank you"

"Aww... shocks, it wasn't that bad. I mean, your a nice girl and all, so we should welcome you as our friend!" Cagalli said, while blushing.

Kira, then, crouched down.

"Comeon Lacus, stand up. We're your friends now, so no reason to cry ok?" he said in a soothing voice.

"Thank you everyone."

"Now, lets go to our house, we'll make sure that our parents will sign your paper."

"Thank you... Kira."

SNEAK PEAK:

"Why?! Why must I feel this way?! I'm so confused!"

"Ms. Allster, calm down"

"Be quiet you goody goody girl! You don't know anything!" Flay said, as she slapped away the cup of tea given to her by Lacus Clyne.

"Ms. Allster..."

A/N: The next chapter will be their arrival from the camp. I've been receiving reviews telling me that this story is similar to Ah! My Goddess. Well, to be honest, I don't really know. I haven't watched Ah! My Goddess yet, nor took a glimpse of it. I'm completely clueless.

(1) The said song is entitled Mizu no Akashi. I'm sure your familiar with that ;)
