Chapter 8- Save the Cat!
Tolle grab his cell phone from Kira. "I don't have a crush on her, ok." Putting the cell phone on his pocket.
"Then why did you take pictures of her?" He said teasing Tolle.
"I don't know I just feel like doing it."
Lacus keep quiet in her chair reading a book and didn't eat lunch. She keeps thinking on how to clean her name and Cagalli. She also believes that Flay is behind the issue but she can't just tell everybody about it without having any proof. She only has four days and if she can't prove it within the remaining days, she'll be disqualified which she doesn't want to happen.
Cagalli, though somewhat depress eat because she needs energy for the practice. They'll be practicing everyday since the game is going to be this coming Saturday afternoon. Yzak came in and talk to Lacus. Cagalli just look at the two who's talking seriously. When Yzak left. She went to Lacus and asks what they talked about.
"We've talked about our final speech this coming Monday, but I guess I won't be there." Lacus said "I said I'm sorry, for what happened."
"It's not your fault. It's Flay's, if she won't tell the truth until Friday, I'm going to punch her face until she say sorry to us." Said Cagalli starting to be angry again. Lacus hold her hand. Cagalli looked at Lacus. "Lacus?"
"Don't do it."
"What? Why? It's the only way for her to tell the truth."
"What if she didn't? You'll just waste your time and effort." Cagalli let go of Lacus. "Besides, you have a game this Saturday, right? If you'll punch her or harm her, you'll just get yourself disqualified."
"Then… what will you do? Talk to her? As if she'll listen. Not all problems can be solved with just plain talking."
"I know that, but… harming others won't solve anything too." Cagalli stop and didn't speak. What Lacus said is right and she can see that Lacus was really thinking about her incoming game.
After class, Lacus walk home by herself but she's beginning to feel dizzy. She didn't eat lunch and didn't eat well the last two days because she's not feeling well thinking about her father and the issue. She stop for a moment and stand beside a post, she's can't see clearly everything starts to be blur. She closed her eyes and opened it. She continues walking to the bus stop because she's feeling weak and can't walk anymore. When she's there, she saw a cat and is going to be hit by a car, though the car is a bit far. Without thinking she runs to the cat. Kira also saw the cat on the other side of the street but saw Lacus running towards the cat. It's her. Thought Kira, seeing the car he runs to her and save her again from being hit.
Tolle, runs to them with other people looking at them. "Kira!" He looked at everyone, "somebody, please call a…." he didn't continue what he's about to say since Kira holds his arm. "Kira!"
"Please help the girl; I don't know if she's hurt." Said Kira concern. The girl regains her consciousness and saw Kira face to face. Kira is nervous upon looking to Lacus. "Are you alright?" He asked.
Lacus smile and looked the cat she was holding. "He's safe." Everyone's looking at them and Kira starts to feel a little shy and starts to blush since the three of them including the cat are lying on the side of street. Lacus also noticed the people around them asking if they were alright. She immediately sits down with the cat. Same goes with Kira.
In the park, Lacus was still holding the cat on her lap. "Thank you for saving me and the cat." Kira just gave her a shy smile.
"Why did you go to the center of the street? The cat can run and the car wasn't that near either to hit the cat." Asked Tolle.
"I'm really sorry." She stands up but feeling a little dizzy again Kira stands and escort her. "Thank you."
"Don't stand if you can't." Said Kira worried. Lacus sits again. He looked at his watch and saw that they were late but he can't just leave Lacus there especially now that it's getting dark. Tolle suddenly pull him. "What Tolle?"
"You can't leave her right?" Tolle said.
"Yeah but…"
"Don't leave her ok?" Said Tolle looking at Lacus then to Kira again. "I'll tell them you got sick and I'll do your job."
"I won't let you." Tolle looked at him.
"Since the last time you save her, I know that you looked forward on seeing her again, and this is your chance. Just work double this coming weekend to repay your absent." He said happily. He went to Lacus and say goodbye.
The two were left there. "It's starting to get dark; do you want me to bring you home?" Asked Kira not looking at Lacus.
"Thank you for your kindness but I guess I can go home. I'm not injured and I've been a bother to the both of you that you didn't even go to your work." Said Lacus. Kira was speechless; he thought that she heard what he and Tolle were talking. Seeing Kira's reaction "I didn't heard anything, don't worry."
"Um, yes."
Lacus smile. "I haven't asked your name, I'm Lacus Clyne." Then she looks t the cat.
"Kira…. Kira Yamato."
"Have we met before?" Kira was somewhat happy and surprised hearing Lacus asking that question. "You seem to be familiar Kira."
"Maybe… we sometimes encounter in the street." He sits beside Lacus and looked the cat. "Are you going to keep that cat?"
"Yes, I think he doesn't have any family since he have many cuts on his body. He doesn't have any name yet." She looked at Kira. "Can I name him Kira?" Kira didn't answer and looked in the other direction since he's starting to blush.
"Yes…" he said nervously. Lacus hold the cat and put it to Kira's lap. He looked at Lacus, "Do you want me to hold him?" Lacus nod. Lacus was very happy that day and has forgotten all her problems. Kira still brought her home; it's a good thing that Natarle and her father weren't there. Kira refuse to go inside and went home somewhat happy.
When Tolle's work was done. He walks home but saw a girl with two men and it looks like they were asking money.
"Give us the money so we'll not hurt you, miss." The girl, refuse and is thinking on how to escape from them. The first man grabs her bag. The other holds the girl.
"Let go of me!" She shouted while trying to withdraw from the second man. "I don't have any money!" The first man, continue to look inside her bag and saw a wallet and get it.
"What's this?" showing the wallet to his fellow. The two man laugh but someone pushed him that the wallet fell on the floor. Someone get the wallet and punched the other guy that's holding the girl. The girl fell on the floor. It was Tolle, he gets the bag then helps the girl and the two of them run but the two men followed them. They saw a bus and went in immediately leaving the two men.
The girl sits and was speechless. Tolle sits beside her and gave her the bag and the wallet. "Are you alright?" The girl starts to cry. "Don't cry here."
"I was so afraid." Tolle did nothing but to listen to her. When everything's alright and the girl was calm. She thanked Tolle and introduced herself. "My name is Miriallia Haw. How about you?"
"I'm Tolle Koenig. Don't worry now, your safe." He said smiling to comfort Miriallia. He saw that he was near his house. "I'm afraid I'll leave you here."
"It's alright, you did save me and that was the bravest thing I ever saw." Tolle was glad to hear those words. He stands up and say goodbye to Miriallia. When he was outside the bus Miriallia smile at him from the window. Tolle, though tired became energetic again and he walked quietly with a happy, satisfied face.
In the bus, Miriallia was sitting happily but she suddenly feels something beside her. She looked and saw it was a cell phone. "This was his." She said when she saw Tolle and Kira in the wallpaper of the phone. "He forgot his phone."
Inside Lacus' room, Lacus looked in the window holding Kira, the cat. She saw a shooting star; she closed her eyes and wish. I wish that this issue about me and Cagalli will stop, please help me to find any evidence to clean our name. She looked at Kira, "Everything will be alright now, Kira." She said smiling.
