A/N: This is the re-written version of Chapter two.

Chapter Summery: The members of the council are in an uproar. Commander Rau Le Crueset has come to a decision, which will break Athruns heart.

Warning: A little shounen-ai, barely noticable, though.

Yzak's POV

Athrun just captured the Strike pilot. Why? Is he out of his mind? I carry this scar on my face because of him! Doesn't he understand? He's the enemy! Well, I have always's wanted to see his face. I'll let him live. But not for long.

Athrun's POV

As we neared the Versailles, I started to get nervous. Was I really doing the right thing? How would ZAFT react? Shaking my head, I reasoned with myself. Leaving him behind would only give him more pain. I had made the right decision...right?

I carried the Strike into the hanger, softly placing it down. Many eyes turned our way, the mechanics baffled at the sight of a half-destroyed enemy mobile suit.

Quickly exiting the Aegis, I went to the strike entering the emergency release code.

The doors slid open, and revealed the site I had been dreading to see.

Rau Le Creuset's POV

So, Athrun captured the Strike? That wasn't unexpected, really. Even I know the value of friendship. But this "Kira" won't last long with the council. Traitors aren't treated well here at ZAFT. Even that is somewhat an understatement.

Sighing deeply, I contacted the PLANT.

Briefing them on the situation, the reaction was just as expected.

"Very well…I shall see what I can do…no, we cannot return to PLANT. We shall have himexecuted here. But not right away. It would hurt Athrun to much."

"Very well Commander," said Patrick Zala. "But he cannot last long…I'm afraid."

Nodding briefly, I shut down the communication. 'You'll just have to deal with it Athrun, we all have things we don't want done, that can't be helped.'

Athrun's POV

My eyes widened at the scene before me. Kira's helmet glass was shattered, his arm looked like it wasn't attached to his body, his leg was broken, as with his back. His expression held pain and sorrow clouded over in confusion.

Swiftly, I floated into the cockpit, gently touching his cheek. Blood had seeped through a head injury, and half his face was covered in crimson blood.

I slowly unbuckled the straps that held him. My hands were shaking. He gently opened his eyes and turned his head, wincing at the pain, in my direction.

"Athrun..." came the faint whisper.

"It's going to be alright, Kira. Everythings going to be okay, you hear! Everythings going to be alright, I'll take care of you, Kira.You're going to be okay!" My own voice was shaking though. I don't know how comforting it was. This is all my fault, I should have been there! I should have protected him! He was always so small, so weak...he always needed my protection. And he still needs it.

I squeezed his left arm free, and he squirmed in pain, and he started to sob quietly.

"Shh, Kira. It's going to be alright! Don't cry."

No longer trapped, he fell forwards, and into my arms. I wrapped my arms around him, holding him in a tight embrace.

I gently jumped to the ground, placing his injured body on the floor. Ignoring all the mutters and stares, I quickly took off his helmet. "Athrun.." I smiled sadly, and hugged him again, before picking him up and running towards the infirmary,

"Hey, Zala…wait!" cried Yzak, chasing after me followed by the rest of my comrades.

"Cut it out, Yzak!" I snapped at him, not caring to give a backwards glance. I hate him sometimes, I swear...

He and the others stopped short at my exclamation. I bit my lip hard, as Kira squeezed my neck tightly. "Shh, everything will be just fine, I'm here..."

When I arrived, the paramedics looked up in surprise. An uneasy silence hung in the atmosphere.

"He needs medical attention, he needs it now! Understand?" I nearly yelled at them, while lowering Kira to a bed.

I glanced over at them, and glared at them commandingly. They quickly obeyed without question. I smiled sadly, squeezing Kira's hand tightly.

1 hour later

Iglanced around the room. About every person of importance was there…around Kira's bed.

Commander Le Crueset cleared his throat.

"The council has announced that Mr.Yamato be executed. However…" Rau Le Crueset glanced atmy shocked face. "He has been given a little time since then. He will be executed on Friday, October.13. That is all for now."

This chouldn't be happening. It just chouldn't. A single tear escaped my eye. Wiping it away, I stood up, and slowly walked away, my head hanging.

They couldn't do this. I had to stop them. But…if I stopped them, I whould be a…traitor…

The voice in my head kept nagging me, in anger. The one inside my heart was shocked and in tears.

I walked into my room and flopped down on my bed. Slowly crying into my pillow.

Something about this just wasn't right...Kira wasn't apart of ZAFT, so how could he betray it? And what about a trial...there had been no mention of a trial! I felt myself shake in anger, overpowered by hatered for the world. I dug my head deeper into the pillow, hugging myself in fear. I sobbed once more, trying to overcome my hysteria.

"Kira...I will make things right...I will!"

A/N:Arigato, minna-san! Arigato! That was the re-written version of chapter 2. As you can see, it's the same plotline with more details, and hopefully, better grammer. Hopefully, I'll be done editing by september, then in October I'll finally update. My set deadline for this story is the first day of spring next year. So, I'll try to be done by January of Febuary. Setting a deadline makes me hurry up the process of writing. Also, this story is being written FOR YOU! Not myself. If your a loyal, constant reader of mine, I'll do my utmost to please you. If your a flamer, I'll pay no heed. Unless theres something critical you point out in the format of a flamer, then I will HAVE to do as you say, but otherwise, your wasting time. But go ahead. Also, if theres anything wrong with my fanfic even with the editing, please inform me, but don't expect quick fixes. You see, my first priority is to edit, then to make progress. So when I'm done editing, any other editing will wait until completion. If it's not urgent, that is. Major errors will be fixed as soon as possible. But further edits to this and the previous chapter are limited.

I'll leave the review response secton, since the reviews were so precious to me.
