Chapter 5: Revelations

Cagalli wa walking thr familiar street that lead her home. Kira told her to look for Athrun and ask him to take her home. 'Yeah right. Ask Zala to take me home...that would be suicide! His fangirls would eat her alive if they see me on Athrun's car.' She smirks at the thought. She shivers as cool breeze brushed against her skin. She wraps her arms around her and walks faster, realizing that it was getting late. Now regretting her sidetrip at the computer arcade after school, she paced up, not noticing the sets of footsteps following her.

Just as she was passing the river, she heard someone call her name. She stopped and looked back. There standing a few paces behind her was Fllay Allister. She cocked her head to the side, wondering what Fllay wanted from her. She didn't feel threatened 'coz she knew Fllay wasn't one of Athrun's fangirls, and neither are the two girls behind her.

Fllay approached her and suddenly slapped her. Cagalli was able to step back and dodge it a bit, there was still impact, but not much. "What the!" Cagalli stares wide eyed at Fllay.

Fllay squints at her and smiles an evil smile "Your such a whore aren't you Athha? First Athrun, then Kira."

"Huh?" was all Cagalli said. She was confused.

"How dare you steal my Kira. I made sure that that slut Clyne couldn't take him from me, and now you!" she points a finger at Cagalli.

"He belongs to me!" poking Cagalli with her finger.

"Kira Yamato is mine..." still poking her finger at Cagalli while Cagalli backs up, as she was being slightly pushed by Fllay.

"And mine alone, not Clyne..." still poking, Cagalli still stepping back

"or you will have him!" still poking, Cagalli still stepping back

"You get that through your thick head!" She smirks at Cagalli and smiles evily. Then she pushes Cagalli with great force. Cagalli stumbles back, losing her balance, she reaches behind her, so as to stop herself from feeling the full impact but all she felt was...her eyes grew wide...WATER!

SPLASH!

Cagalli sat at the river's edge, soaked to the bone. She looked up and saw Fllay and her two companions laughing hysterically at her.

Cagalli snaps. 'I've had it! I don't care anymore. I don't care if I'm new. I don't care about making a good impressions. I'm so fed up!'

Cagalli has gone over her patience meter. She was furious now. She slowly stood up and approached Fllay, who was still laughing hysterically, and looks at her with murder in her eyes.

"Fllay" Cagalli calls her through gritted teeth. Fllay looks at Cagalli with a smug look on her face.

WHAM!

Cagalli punches Fllay right on the face. Fllay was thrown back a few paces. Her companions stopped laughing and was looking at her with shocked faces.

A shriek was heard from Fllay "You broke my nose! My precious nose! My precious face!" The two girls suddenly remembers Fllay and looks back. There on the ground lay a sprawled Fllay, who was trying to sit up, holding her bleeding nose. The two girls rushed to her side to help her sit up.

"You'd better take her to the hospital. I think her nose is broken." Cagalli calmly tells the two girls.

They both nod in unison and helps Fllay up. Fllay was crying hysterically, both from pain and humiliation.

Cagalli watched them until they disappeared from her sight. She looks down at her hands and grins. 'That felt good' She starts to giggle. She tries to stop but she couldn't. Then her giggles turns into laughter. Cagalli was now laughing. She looked like a wet crazy maniac, laughing by the river. She stops laughing. She felt cold all of a sudden. She hugs herself 'coz she was shivering. She hurried home, took a bath and fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed, she didn't even bother to eat dinner or do her homework.

Cagalii woke up the next day, feeling hot and tired. She rolled to the other side of the bed and her eyes widens, it was already 10am! She was late for school! She tried to get up but couldn't find the strength. 'Forget school.' She snuggles back into the covers and went back to sleep.

School

Sigh. Athrun sighs feeling lonely. He's sitting at the bench that he shares with Cagalli every lunch break. He looks up at the sky. He misses her already. He misses her smile, her laughter, the way she smirks or the way blushes everytime her teases her, her oh so adorable pout, or the way she bites her bottom lip whenever she's thinking. Sigh. He looks at his untouched lunch, not really having the appetite to eat. He sighs again. "Where are you Cagalli! Please be okay. I miss you already." Athurn whispers to the empty space beside him. Sigh.

He kept glancing at the door during first period, hoping that she was just late. But she never showed up. He felt depressed. He dragged himself from class to class not really in the mood. 'Ah! Cagalli! What have you done to me!' sigh. 'Am I in love with her? But it hasn't been that long since we met. But nobody has ever made me feel so lonely, like what she's done now.'

"I'll go ask Kira about her, he probably knows the reason why Cagalli didn't show up today. With a determined look, Athrun stands up, leaving his lunch behind and heads for the cafeteria to find Kira.

Cafeteria

"Hey did you guys hear the rumors going around campus?" Dearka eagerly asks the group, which composes of Lacus, Kira, Miriallia, Shiho and Yzak. Lacus hung out with them again, feeling rays of hope concerning her relationship with Kira.

"Huh? What rumors?" Kira asks, stuffing his mouth with food.

"Has anyone seen Fllay today?" Dearka asks the group.

"Come to think of it... no I haven't seen Fllay the whole morning, she's usually flirting with Kira first thing in the morning. Cagalli too. " Miriallia looks at Kira "Hey what happened to Cagalli?"

"I dunno." Kira shrugs his shoulders.

Just then the cafeteria doors bang open and a running Athrun burst through the doors. His fangirls were too shocked to call after him. Actually, they have given up waiting for him at the door 'coz Athrun haven't step foot on the cafeteria for the past weeks. This time, they were caught by surprise and by the time they recovered, it was too late, Athrun was already sitting at the table with Shiho and Yzak. Nobody dared to go with him, except for Meer of course. She approached Athrun, doing a very seductive walk. The other boys at the cafeteria had their mouths open, some were actually drooling. But Athrun, well, he wasn't even looking at her, he was seated opposite of Kira, panting and trying to catch his breath. He actually ran all the way from the rooftop.

"Oh Athrun" Meer seductively calls his name, slowly approaching their table.

"Shooo! Go away bitch!" Shiho shouts at Meer. Meer looks at Shiho and lifts her head, as if telling her that she's not afraid of her. Shiho stands up "Do you want me to use force?" Shiho asks Meer challenging her. Meer steps back, pouts and stomps away.

"Ahhhh! They never learn. So where were we?" Shiho sits back and looks at the group.

" So Kira tell me why Caga" Athrun asks Kira but was cut off by Yzak.

"So he speaks at last! Wow Zala! And here I thought you've gone mute."

"Huh?" Athrun looks at Yzak, totally confused.

" Well you've been spacing out the whole morning. You were like a zombie. I mean Yzak yelled at you earlier and you didn't even flinch. Then there's Meer, she sat on your lap before geography started and you didn't do anything. Normally , you would be screaming for help." Dearka arches his eyebrow at Athrun.

"That was Meer! Yech!" Athrun's eyes grew huge. He remembered someone sitting on his lap but he wasn't in the mood to push her away. His mind was on Cagalli., 'Is she okay? Is she sick? Is she missing me right now, like I'm missing her? Is she thinking of me or Kira?' He remembered as the teacher came in and told the girl on his lap to go back to her seat.

"So what happened to you Athrun?" Lacus asks with concern

Athrun blushes. He is not going to tell them that he was going crazy worrying about Cagalli. "Well you see"

"Hey! People! About the rumor? Do you want to hear it or not?" Dearka suddenly shouts, cutting off Athrun.

"What rumor? Am I missing something?" Athrun asks confused.

"Jeez!" Dearka was about to lose his patience. He was really excited to tell them about the rumor but keeps getting interrupted. "It's about Fllay and Cagalli!" Dearka half shouts at the group, hoping to get all their attention. He did.

Kira suddenly stands up and addresses Dearka in a panicky voice "Did something happen to Cagalli? Is she Okay? Is she here? Where is she? Is she here? Did Fllay do anything to her? Did Athrun's fangirls beat her up again? Is she here?"

All six of them stared at Kira, with mouths hanging open. "Well?" Kira asks Dearka, looking worried and impatient.

"Beat her up again?" Athrun was the first to recover. He grabs the front of Kira's shirt, anger clearly visible in his eyes. "What the hell do you mean by that Kira? What are you not telling me!"

"Hey Athrun calm down!" Miriallia pries Athrun's grip on Kira's shirt. "Now let's talk about this calmly okay?" Both Kira and Athrun sits back down.

All eyes were on Kira. "Sigh. Well it's like this…" Kira then relates on what happened to Cagalli at the storeroom, and the bathroom incident, since Cagalli told him about it. A gasp was heard from the girls. "I'm sorry guys but I promised Cagalli not to tell anyone."

Athrun suddenly stands up. All heads turn to him. Athrun was gripping the edge of the table, really hard, his knuckles were turning white. All of them were shocked when they saw his face. Fury. His eyes were the deepest color. Lacus shrank away from him, griping Kira's arm. Kira jumped from his chair, ran to the other side and blocked Athrun's way. He knew what Athrun was going to do.

"Please Athrun, calm down. I already slapped Akasha really hard. Please don't cause a scene." But Athrun wasn't listening. "For Cagalli's sake?" Kira mentions Cagalli's name, knowing Athrun would react to that. Athrun looks at him. 'Yes it worked!' "Cagalli doesn't want anyone else to know 'coz she doesn't want the principal to know. We all know that he's her guardian right?" Athrun sits back down again. A sigh of relief escapes Kira. He goes back to his seat.

"So that's why you've been following her all the time, because you were trying to protect her?" Dearka asks and Kira nods. "Well you don't have to worry about her anymore, she can definitely protect herself now."

"What do you mean Dearka?" Miriallia asks her boyfriend.

Dearka grins. 'Coz the rumors that have been going around campus is that Cagalli punched Fllay yesterday and broke her nose." 'Yes! Finally!' Dearka grins as all eyes were on him. "seems that Fllay pushed Cagalli into the river, in return, Cagalli punched her and broke her nose."

"And how true is this rumor of yours" Milly asks

"Fllay wasn't alone yesterday. Her two shadows, Sasha Seta and Kaoru Miasa were there and saw everything. Fllay is now in the hospital, getting her broken nose fixed. Hehehe. I'd give anything to see her right now." Dearka grins imagining a broken nosed Fllay.

"Way to go Cagalli!" Shiho cheers for Cagalli. Milly, Lacus and Kira were smiling. Athrun was beaming too. He was so proud of her. 'That's my girl!' then his smile fades. "Then what's going on? Why isn't Cagalli here now?"

End of Chapter 5
