CHAPTER 18 : Missed

-

-

"fourth day.." Cagalli mumbled to herself as she watched the rising sun by the coast. Morning sea breeze feels good in her lungs. She stretched out herself and inhaled in as much air as she could. "Aaaaaahhhh.."

It was strange to feel this tranquility in the morning. She was used to waking up in the morning with some squeaks from Sting teasing Stellar and some soft chuckles and chatting from the kitchen. Thinking about it, she had been away for 5 days now, that is counting the day she went to work before fainting of on the way to the hospital. She sighed, I miss home.

She sat down on the sands and traced her finger to form a house from it. ("i wonder how they are all doing?"), she then circled her finger writing 'mom, dad, Kira, Stellar, Sting' around the traced house. There. Home. All the things that she had accomplished are inspired by her family. Behind those horrendous paperworks and stressful lifestyle, is her will to give them the life that they once had...

The wave suddenly pushed forward and washed the figures away, ("so much for my so called home")

"Hey there!" Cagalli almost threw herself to the water from the sudden greeting. She was way past her reverie that she didn't notice the person to walk by.

"Oh sorry.. did I scare you?" it was the magenta haired girl, "May I?" Cagalli just nodded as the girl gestured to take the seat beside her.

"Hmmm... morning air is the best" the latter stretched her arms up high then laid it behind her to support her weight. Cagalli just stared at her, she felt awkward. Is she here to brag about her and Shinn? Or to tell her how much 'joy' she felt around him?

"I haven't introduced myself have I?" Cagalli just raised her eyebrow, "My name is Lunamaria, just call me Luna" she smiled to her.

"I'm-"

"Cagalli right?" she interrupted with a smile

"uhh yeah.. Shinn.. told you huh?" the name was hard for her to say, her brows narrowed as she shifted her gaze to the seas, her 'good morning' is now completely screwed.

"yes" she replied without looking at her. The air between them was beginning to choke her patience away, Cagalli stood up to leave . There's no more reason for her to stay.

"Wait!" Luna streamed up to catch her, Cagalli stopped as Luna reached out her hand to her shoulder,

"I-I don't know where to start..But.. You see Cagalli. I..I really envy you for having Shinn" she didn't know what just came out of her, she released Cagalli and held herself from the breeze..

"when we made out... it was funny... though he was with me.. he kept on saying your name" a weak smile tugged her small bare lips as she slipped her hand behind her ear. The topic itself was bringing tension to the two. Lightening it up a littl

Cagalli turned to face Luna, odd...but somehow, she was taken by him calling her name.. "I'm really sorry Cagalli.."

She was angry, at the very moment she wanted to scream at her and push her to the ocean pits. The other day's issue still sent boils to her. But thinking about all the events that happened, she was actually in no position to get mad. She's just a friend of Shinn and nothing more. Right? And why is she angry? They were both drunk, and under that situation came in 'human urge'. They had too much of what was enough. Just too drunk to keep their sanity last night. She sighed to herself. She shouldn't be angry at the two , they were just enraptured by liquor. As the saying goes, anger applied towards someone drunk makes you more diabolic than the demented man himself. Kira said that she should know how to control her anger by knowing what make her angry. Besides she should broaden her understanding of the situation. Perhaps Shinn drowned himself in liquor cause of her. If she was just on time this wouldn't happen. She would be able to stop Shinn from drinking.

The water brushed on her feet,

"You don't need to apologize Luna" she smirked at her., "or does Shinn..I can't really blame Shinn for what happened, or even you. I'm at fault as well for not arriving on time" she snugged herself too from the cool breeze that was slowly blowing her hot temper away, "It was just a shocking sight. That's all"

The wind blew in, "that's all..?" Luna finally asked, she can't believe what she heard.

"yeah"

"won't you even slap me, scream, or even throw me to the sea?" Cagalli stared at her for a while

"well.. I deserve it...You're serious you won't do anything? ..Even just a slap?"

"you want one" Cagalli responded with a raised brow,

"of course I don't want one.. but.."

Cagalli let out a chuckle, she can no longer hold it. "what's funny?"

"you are" the blond responded with a cheer. Seems like the morning breeze had completely blown away her anger. Besides this lady in front of her wasn't all bitchy and slutty as she thought. "you had taken too much morning breeze Luna"

This Fifth day felt so gloomy for the brunette as he stands in front of a big building. He sighed for the 10th time.

He flipped open his phone hoping for something to brighten up his day. Its been days since.. he last saw her..

"Kira!" a girl with magenta pony tailed hair skipped to hug him, "how have you been?" she greeted as she dug her head in the lads warm embrace.

"I'm good Fllay" he smiled to her "how's studies?"

"still the same" she shrugged her shoulders, not caring about the topic

"having problems?"

"yes.. ever since you've been 'busy'... Everything was a mess."

"why is that?"

" I can't understand a thing that my professor is blabbering for us to do"

"have you tried approaching him?"

"Why will I?? he's a prof, its his job to teach. He should be the one to approach us"

"Why not try to ask your classmates or friends about the topic?

"you know that your my only friend!"

"Yui, Tolle and Nani are there"

"argh..." fllay gritted her teeth and marched forward. Kira just brushed his hand up his hair and sighed, Fllay was like a spoiled princess who never wanted to mingle with others'. Can't really blame her, being the only daughter of one of the top businessmen, she was always given what she wants. He met Fllay a few weeks back when she and her father dropped by for a university tour, taking her 3rd year in college. Kira being the top student was selected to show them around.

The Director's Office in Archangel University

"Father! Just look at their facilities! Our kitchen is much more favorable than their laboratory" she jerked up from her chair.

"darling, we've already circled the whole country. This is the last university" her father replied with a calm voice

"That's my point! I don't like to study here in Plantz! I'm better off staying in Orb!" Fllay argued

"We've talked about this Fllay, you need to stay here so that you'll be able to conceptualize the background of our business"

"we have a branch Orb, I can always drop by there to check on our metrics! You know I hate it here"

"Fllay..."

"FatheR!!" she yelped . Mr Allster stared at his daughter and gave out a heavy sigh

"alright.. after we tour around this school and you still don't like it. We'll arrange travel to Orb"

The director glimpsed at his guests, the entire father-daughter scene blew him off his contour. Mr. Allster nodded in approval, "come in" he said from his desk

The door flung open and a timid brunette stepped inside the room. Her eyes sparked at his simple elegance. He bowed in respect to them.

"Kira" the director gestured him to come near. The lad actually heard the whole debate thing from outside. He hesitantly walked in front of the trio, Fllay's eyes not leaving him

"Mr Allster, this is Kira Yamato, the Archangel's pride" Fllay's father awed at the the brunette.

"so you're Kira Yamato, the renowned genius of techies" her father shook hands with Kira, "heard about your great works with Plantz' devices" he blushed from the businessman's compliment. "It was a product of team work"

"A team lead by you, I was actually expecting hulkier type of man" Mr Allster chuckled, "I didn't expect to see a star like you here"

"ahem" Fllay coughed beside her father getting the attention of everyone

"Please excuse me, Kira, this is my daughter, Fllay"

"Nice to meet you Fllay" he smiled to her who in turn offered him a handshake

"nice to meet you too, Kira" she smiled back slyly, giving a press on his hand

"We're actually checking around universities where she can continue her course. This is the last stop we have within the country"

Kira turned to Fllay, she hasn't released her grip yet

"What's your course?" Kira asked in his usual friendly tone

"marketing, and you?"

"Business Management"

After the introduction, Kira invited Fllay for a tour. It was quite an awkward trip for him, cause instead of him story telling about the campus' this and that, it ended up with Fllay interviewing him.

Eventually, Fllay became a student of Archangel University the following day. Mr. Allster thanked him for having convinced his daughter to stay. Kira wonders till now how he 'convinced' her. Since Fllay was still a freshie in the campus, her father requested Kira to be the personal guide and tutor of his daughter. Of course, with a certain fee.

"Kira!!"

He looked ahead to the pouting Fllay who was upfront with hands on her waist, "this is the part your suppose to chase after me" so much for being a personal guide, will Mr Allster forgive him for being her...
