Chapter 3
Narrator POV
Athrun and Cagalli sat in the cafeteria eating in silence. Murrue and Mu joined them as well.
"How is the kid?" Mu asked.
"I just wanted to go and check on him." Athrun said.
Suddenly the door opened and they gasped.
"Ki-Kira?" Cagalli stuttered.
Kira glanced at them with emotionless eyes, then turned around to grab something to eat.
Mu and Athrun looked at each other frowning.
"Kira! You woke up!" Cagalli ran to her brother and hugged him. He didn't respond.
"Good to see you up, kid." Mu said as they got closer to the table. Indeed Kira was wearing his orb uniform.
After an hour Mu, Murrue, Cagalli and Athrun were standing on the bridge while Kira was fixing something on the Freedom.
"I don't know guys. He is up and eating and walking but... He isn't speaking." Mu said scratching his head.
"Yeah the most we got from his was a nod and he is completely emotionless." Cagalli said worriedly.
"You think it is a good sign? I mean that he is up?" Murrue asked hopefully.
"I am really not sure."
"Ms Murrue?" Kira's voice came suddenly through the radio.
They looked at each other stunned. The first time Kira spoke.
"Yes, Kira?" Murrue asked gently.
"I am launching."
"Wait Kira! Are you sure it is a good idea?" Athrun said concerned.
"I am launching." Kira said again and finished the talked.
"What do you think he is up to?" Cagalli asked.
"Ladies and Gentlemen we have a problem. I don't know what they were thinking when they killed Lacus but... they will beg for dead if he finds them." Mu said.
"Our gently and kind Kira is sleeping somewhere deep and now we have to get to use to a new... murderous Kira." Mu explained when the others looked at him puzzled.
"You don't think he went to the Eternal again, do you?" Murrue asked concerned.
Mu only nodded and they stared after the disappearing Kira.
--
On the next week, every day was the same. Kira got up, went to the Eternal, came back and went to sleep. He didn't talk much. Athrun managed to talk with him for a whole 2 minutes one day. That was the record this far.
"It is crazy!" Cagalli shouted.
"I know." Athrun nodded.
"So he said he is trying to find out who killed Lacus?" Murrue asked. Athrun nodded.
"It is like this is the only thing he is interested in. And that was the only time I saw some kind of emotion in his eyes."
"Anger?" Mu asked.
"Make it 100 times worse than anger. He went SEED and he was only talking about it." Athrun explained.
There was silence on the bridge.
"Well at least he is still able to feel fury." Murrue said.
"I heard him crying one night." Cagalli said quietly.
Silence filled the room again everybody was thinking about Kira when he suddenly showed up.
"Athrun can you examine something for me please?"
"Did you find something, Kira?" Athrun asked.
"Yes I think so, it wa-" Suddenly Kira's eyes went wide and he was staring at the screen.
His friends turned around and they gasped.
"Who the hell left it on TV channel?" Mu murmured.
There stood nobody else but Lacus. An old shot about her.
'I know how everybody is feeling about this horrible thing. Lacus Clyne, the Singer of the Peace is dead. Horrible...' The reporter began.
"Turn it off damn it!" Mu shouted to someone but nobody could move when Lacus sweet voice filled the room. She was singing.
Kira was sure his heart broke over and over again with every passing second. He couldn't look away, he couldn't move at all. All he could do was staring at the screen. He didn't know when it happened, but he found himself before the screen touching the monitor lovingly. Grief and anger took over him again as tears gathered in his eyes.
'Everybody is welcomed to her funeral on this weekend. However there was no body found, but we...' The screen went black someone finally moved and turned it off.
Kira stood frozen for a second, then turned around passed the object he found on the Eternal to Athrun without glancing at him and left the bridge.
"Kira..."
"Not now Cagalli. Let him be," Athrun grabbed her hand before the girl could go after Kira.
"I just hope nothing is breakable in his room." Mu murmured.
Kira's POV
I was laying on my bed. The Archangel arrived to the PLANTs. Athrun and Cagalli tried their very best to make me go to the funeral. What a stupid idea! Those people there didn't know her at all. They went there because the famous song star is dead. They will forget about her in a few months. Okay maybe not everyone. Athrun, Cagalli, Yzak, Mu, Murrue,... I frowned. There were a lot of people who liked Lacus and would miss her. I shook my head. They didn't know her as well as I did. Turning around I switched my laptop on. I had to find out what happened with the Eternal and who killed her. But I couldn't concentrate. I keep seeing Lacus before my eyes. Sighing I glanced at the clock stood up and very slowly made my way toward the door.
Narrator POV
Athrun kept staring ahead without blinking. Tears gathered in his eyes but he didn't let himself cry. Cagalli stood beside him with sad eyes. Across them stood Mu and Murrue. The official funeral was over half an hour ago and now they were the only one standing beside Lacus' grave.
Cagalli put some lilies on the grave when a deep and obviously sad voice came from behind them. "Lilies weren't her favorites."
Athrun turned around surprised to see Kira standing there. The brown-haired boy came closer and put the red and white roses on the grave.
"Kira. I am glad you changed your mind and came." Murrue said. Maybe it was a good sign. Maybe Kira was healing slowly.
"So stupid... Coming here when she isn't really here. Neither her body nor her soul." Kira muttered and stared at the flowers without blinking. Somehow, now he could understand what Shin said at the memorial about the flowers.
"There were a lot of people here earlier." Cagalli said.
"Hypocrite." Kira said then turned around and tried to walk away but Athrun grabbed his arms.
"That was enough Kira! Stop this stupid game! We know you miss her but you aren't the only one in grief! We all loved her!"
Kira looked in his eyes with narrowed eyes.
"You could never understand what it feels like! Don't try to pretend you do! I will kill them! I will kill every single one who took part of killing her!!" Kira shouted furiously. Cagalli were gaping at him. Kira was always so gently, so caring... what happened?! Could he change so much?!
"You have to calm down and move on!" Athrun shouted back his heart filled with pain thinking about Lacus but he knew they had to move on.
"Move on?! I could never...!" Suddenly Kira went quiet. His face turned emotionless again. Without a word, he turned around and walked back to the Archangel.
"We are losing him." Mu said finally shaking his head.
