Chapter Fifteen
Disbelief
Shuttle
Lacus smiled that they made it, she was worried about the others, but she trusted Kira's words and she was glad to be around him, he had her feel secure, safe and happy, this was the first time she spoke to him but she was looking forward to speaking more to him.
Kira was done but his side was really agonizing him now, he placed his hand on it again, as he tried to stop the blood that started again, his body was different and if he was a normal coordinator he wouldn't be able to move, but his body was working with him, however there was a lot of damage, but he could fix that once he got home.
Kira saw Lacus looking over at him with concern again, and he had to admit he liked being around her, but they would have there chance to speak again when they arrived at his place.
Lacus had so many questions to ask, but she knew they would have enough time for that later, instead Lacus looked over at him and she saw that he was agonizing in pain and she wanted to help him. Lacus slowly stood up from her seat and walked over to him as she knelt down next to his, but it caused her leg a little pain.
Kira was well aware that she approached him, as he as well had a lot of questions for her, Kira glanced down and saw that her leg wasn't that critical and he was glad for that.
Lacus started looking at his wound but he was doing a pretty good job of hiding it from her.
"Mr…I mean Kira will you please let me check your wound now?" Lacus asked as she had to break the silence they both had.
Kira looked into her eyes as she said that, and he could gaze in them all day, Kira didn't respond at first he leaned back over and typed a few things into the shuttles computer putting it on auto-pilot, after he was done he glanced back over at her.
"I thank you Miss Lacus," Kira told her as he couldn't believe he just said that, but the look on her face made it all worth it.
Lacus was surprised at his first saying, and it just kept surprising her that he didn't act at all like a normal assassin, and she even caught herself blushing, "Please just call me Lacus," she finally got out as Kira lifted his arm a little bit showing her the wound.
Lacus couldn't believe what she saw, this was rather serious, he had damage throughout his entire side, his blood seemed to stop again which she found puzzling, but it would always restart after a little while, and she now started to worry, "This is serious we have to get to a doctor somehow."
Kira instantly looked at her, "That won't work he will without a doubt find out, the first shuttle I launched should by us a week or so, and we will have to use that time…" Kira couldn't finish as the pain shot through his body again, as he slumped over but he was caught by Lacus, who know held him in her arms.
Lacus listened to every word, but when he slumped over it tore at her heart again, and before he could fall out of his chair she caught him, as she wrapped both arms around him placing his head just above her chest.
Kira also realized what she did and he just shut his eyes, never before had he felt what he was feeling now, no other woman had ever had this sort of effect on him, not even from the past, this was different, all Kira felt was peace, his pain slowly faded away as she held him, he didn't even bother to struggle to get up, as he easily could have, a feeling of true peace was all he felt at this moment.
Lacus once again surprised herself as she did that, as she wrapped her arms around him to prevent his fall, her heart went crazy, she looked down and only saw a look of peace on his face, the same feeling she felt. Lacus then started stroking his hair slowly as she didn't want him to suffer any more, she just couldn't allow that.
They remained like that for a few minutes, until Kira knew he couldn't remain like this forever, and Lacus did to, as she saw his eyes open she decided to talk again.
"What do we do now Kira? We cannot ask my father for help, and they will eventually find out we were not on that shuttle," Lacus asked as she knew his pain lessened and they had to start thinking of what to do next.
Kira very slowly got out of her hold and sat back in his seat as he looked at her.
"The shuttle will by us a little more time, we will make our way back to my estate…Zala will without a doubt try to have it searched, but it will take them weeks to break my security, while there we will get these wounds taken care of, and then plan our next move…that is if you wish for my assistance, I will not force you into anything you don't want to do," Kira told her gently.
Lacus blushed again as she quickly hid it, "I do trust you Kira, it's strange but I know I can."
Kira smiled, "I'm glad…you still have questions for me though."
Lacus slowly smiled, "I do, but they are not important at the moment."
Kira looked at her, "I understand…and I will answer everyone you have, but first lets just get to my mansion," Kira said as he saw they were approaching the shuttle bay, of the Zala Plant.
Kira knew Patrick was smart, and that is why they were going to hide straight into the open. Kira also knew if Patrick got desperate enough he would use other methods to flush them out, and Kira hoped he would wait a while longer before trying those.
Kira knew that he had work to do once they docked, and that would be the first order of business, then they would have to make it to his mansion, but Kira knew several backwards routes as he knew every inch of that Plant.
Lacus was glad for his words, she could tell he was genuine and she was glad he would answer her questions; she felt very secure and peaceful while he was around, and she hoped that feeling would remain. Lacus' thoughts were also of what had just happened, she was worried about her father, and Cagalli, but she knew the less they knew the better they would be, and she wouldn't put their lives in danger, that was one reason she agreed with Kira, but the main reason was she wanted to stay near him, it was strange he was supposed to kill her, but now he was protecting her, it had been quite a day.
Shuttle Bay
When the shuttle approached the Zala Plant Kira made sure that the docking bay would be cleared, when they prepared to launch for this Plant, Kira hacked into the computer here and made sure that the employees were elsewhere, another little gift he possessed, he sent them a message telling them that they were to clear the docking bay for a training exercise, in which it would give him and Lacus about ten minutes to get out of the shuttle bay and into the city, but he still had to do a few things to the computer system here, but that would take three minutes at most, more than enough time for Kira.
Kira and Lacus were once again sitting in the two pilot chairs as they looked at the Plant in front of them, Lacus didn't know what he was up to, but she trusted him, and if he could just walk right in she would follow.
Kira was glad he was right on the exact time that he gave the order for the shuttle employee's, and as they neared the shuttle doors, they started opening, Kira was pleased that everything looked alright for the moment, the shuttle was on auto-pilot as it started and completed the docking procedures.
Throughout the entire docking procedure Kira made sure to look around and what he saw made him smile, their were no people present, which meant his idea worked, as the shuttle came to a full stop, and the doors to space closed Kira knew that the clock was now ticking.
Kira looked over at Lacus and gave her a small nod, "We have to hurry," Kira said as once again his side started killing him again.
Lacus knew that as well, and she wanted to help, but they had to get out of here. Lacus stood up as she walked over to Kira who was already starting to stand up, she offered her assistance in helping him, but he graciously refused, he would not become a burden to their escape. Kira stood up and Lacus very gently held on to him, not taking no for an answer.
"We have about nine in a half minutes, lets go," Kira told her as Lacus nodded her head and they started making their way towards the shuttle door, and it opened, as it opened Kira drew his Socom which made Lacus cringe a little, she didn't like violence but she was starting to learn that sometimes it was necessary, if they didn't fight back they would not be alive right now.
Kira and Lacus made their way down, as Lacus noticed her clothes were covered in Kira's blood that started up once again, Kira's gear was a complete mess as it was torn, damaged, and he lost most of his equipment and ammunition, which mostly detonated on his vest when he took that shrapnel from Yzak's grenade. They were really going to have trouble blending in on the streets, but Kira had a way around that.
They walked out as Kira lead the way holding his Socom in a defensive stance, Lacus was right behind him as she very gently held his sides trying her best not to touch a sensitive spot of his wound as she was trying to make sure he would be able to lean on her if needed. They made their way out and they moved a little faster to the main control room. Kira walked over to the door, and was glad it wasn't locked, he opened the door and they both walked in.
Kira holstered his gun, and began working on the computer with Lacus watching intently. Kira got into the computer and saw the priority message he sent to get the people out of here, Kira opened up the file making it look much more official, as they were always having drills, and Lacus noticed that he put on of the council members name on this order, one of which was one of her fathers close allies.
"Why would you do that?" Lacus asked as she was a little confused.
Kira looked at her, "Zala will check for things like this, by placing one of your father's allies on the order, he will not try to confirm it, this will only mask our efforts here."
Lacus understood and once again he amazed her.
Kira finished the main part, but now he had to finalize the inventory of the shuttles, he got into that file, and put the final touches on the inventory, now it looked like only one shuttle left, and that should by them some time for the moment. With the number of shuttle grounded on this day adding one more would not look suspicious.
"It's done, let's go," Kira told her as that only took him about two minutes, and they had about five left to spare to get out of the shuttle bay.
Lacus looked at him and agreed as Kira once again picked up his weapon, they made their way out of the control room and headed for the exit. When they reached the exit Kira stopped for a minute and looked up at the sky, and Lacus realized that they couldn't go anywhere in the open at the minute.
Lacus looked at Kira, "We cannot go out there like this."
Kira looked over at her and smiled slightly causing Lacus to blush again, "Wait thirty seconds," Kira told her as Lacus was a little confused.
As the waited the thirty seconds went by and all of a sudden the rain started poring down as it was the scheduled time for rain in this Plant. Lacus was amazed that he had everything timed down to the second, and it was a little strange about how knowable he was, but she did have to admit she did like that.
The rain made it a little darker, it would still be a little strange if they were spotted, but it was better than nothing. Kira smiled over at her again, and Lacus nodded as they quickly made there way out of the shuttle bay.
Zala Mansion
It was safe to say Patrick was not pleased with the event he first got word on and now he was eagerly awaiting the second report, hopefully telling that they have both Kira and Lacus gone from the world. Patrick was almost pacing as he waited for word.
Rau was listening, and watching Patrick carefully, but he had the feeling that Zala wouldn't get the results he wanted.
Patrick waited no longer as the call finally came, the phone rang and Patrick furiously hit the speaker button.
"This is Zala, what is the status?" Patrick asked as he was getting impatient.
The man on the other end hesitated, "We have gone in to secure the area sir."
"I don't care about that; do you have the bodies?" Patrick asked.
"That's a negative sir, he slaughtered the team that went to investigate the grenade blast, and they escaped," the man said as Patrick was about to blow a gasket.
"You incompetent fools! Joule can't even handle one little assignment, this is inexcusable, they have to still be on the Plant somewhere, find them!" Patrick shouted.
Rau listened with interest.
"We are currently doing that sir, but it appears a shuttle was launched a little while ago," the man said.
Patrick looked back at the phone quickly, "Did you get the location it is heading?"
"From what it appears sir it seems to be headed to earth, from the direction he launched in, we take it a remote area on earth," the man said as they secured the shuttle bay when they couldn't find them in the city.
Patrick smiled, "Get me the exact location, and what about Clyne, what does he know?"
"From what I gather sir, he is currently sending his team around to check on his daughter, what should we do?" the man asked.
Patrick thought for a second when Rau jumped in, "We could use this sir."
Patrick looked at him, "What are you saying?"
Rau smiled, "Siegel already knows that Orb's leader was targeted, and once he sees that area he will see that his daughter was targeted, I believe we can make it look like his daughter had a role in this, that way his support will fall even more, and it would give us an easier time of tracking them down."
Patrick looked at him with interest, "Clyne will never by that or the Orb leader, so you had better not be wasting my time."
Rau smiled again, "This will work sir, it will make her easily look like an accomplice if we can get a hold of some footage of the incident."
Patrick was interested, "Go on."
"Yzak was masked, but he had the exact same garments on as Kira, we could easily make it look as Yzak was shooting the Clyne faction members, we could get some footage of her with Kira, and the public wouldn't know the difference," Rau said as Patrick was confused.
Patrick looked at him funny, "Clyne could claim she was abducted."
Rau smiled again, "Leave that to me sir, when we report this it will assure that both Clyne's downfall, as well as Lacus' and Kira's' capture."
"You wish to make them outlaws…which would mean that we would have to make him known as the ultimate coordinator," Patrick said.
Rau looked at him, "It may seem confusing sir, but trust me to handle it and you will be proud."
Patrick didn't like trusting anyone, but Rau always came through for him, "Very well, handle it."
Rau smiled, "Yes sir."
Patrick looked back at the phone, "Did you get all that."
The man on the phone listened to every word, "Yes sir, what do you need from us?"
"Simple, try and gather anything from camera's and look for security camera's, get all tape and bring it to Rau, make sure you stall Clyne's team long enough to do this," Patrick said.
"It will be done sir," the man said as he signed off.
Patrick looked over at Rau, making sure that he had better come through.
Rau knew that what he had planned would work.
Clyne Plant
City Square
The unit that Siegel radioed over there to check out the small park was one of Zala's loyalists so they were taking their time.
Uzumi and Siegel were both concerned for their daughters as they eagerly awaited word on them. They just witnessed one of the worst massacres as Kira and the other unit easily ripped right through them. Mu and Andrew were astonished that Kira did kill them; he had perfect opportunity and time. Andrew had him straight at gun point, but Kira's speed was inhuman to them.
As the time passed slowly Mu and Andrew were ordered by Siegel and Uzumi to personally go and check it out, they didn't object as they wanted to see that guy again. They took some of the survivors and went ahead to the small park area.
This square was a mess, the bodies of the killed members were all over and now was the time to clean this up, they knew that everything was a mess now, the treaty, their hope that others would follow, and they knew that the entire space and earth saw most of this happen. Siegel and Uzumi were almost in shock as they waited news.
Siegel and Uzumi were once again left with not knowing what was going on, they paced around steadily as they waited word.
"What a mess this is," Uzumi said.
Siegel looked at him, "This was a well planned attack, someone on the inside had to set this up."
Uzumi nodded in agreement as he heard a voice he was concerned about, Uzumi immediately looked up and it was Cagalli with Athrun, Nicol, and Kisaka. They were finally able to get past the barricade as it was useless to hold them there, but the soldiers didn't let them go to the park area, they were redirected to the city square.
All four were horrified at the sight that was before them, Uzumi breathed a sigh of relief as he saw Cagalli. Athrun was more shocked to see that Uzumi was still alive, and he knew that wasn't going to go well with his father, as he didn't know yet of what completely happened. He had to admit he didn't want to see Cagalli lose her father, but he was more concerned about his brother, Athrun just hoped that Kira wasn't shot dead.
Uzumi smiled as he rushed up to Cagalli, "You're not hurt are you?"
Cagalli looked at him, "No, but what happened here? It looks like a war zone."
Uzumi was very relieved, so was Siegel but he was still concerned about his own daughter, as he didn't even get word from his own guys yet.
Siegel smiled as he approached Cagalli, "It is good to see you're alright Miss Cagalli."
Cagalli looked at him, "What about Lacus? Is she alright to?" Cagalli asked as she was concerned for her friend.
Siegel's face got worried, "We don't know yet, I hope that she is safe, but this waiting is killing me."
Cagalli now wished she didn't ask, as she to was now concerned about Lacus.
Athrun and Nicol listened carefully as they approached the chairman; they needed to get a little information.
Athrun and Nicol walked up to Siegel and Siegel noticed them, Athrun and Nicol immediately saluted, "What exactly happened here sir?" Athrun asked as he knew what should have happened, but he needed to know what exactly happened.
Siegel looked at them, "I will fill you in, but first were you attacked at all?"
Athrun and Nicol acted surprised, "No sir, we were on our way to the park, and then here, when we were stopped by soldiers say something was going on."
Siegel looked horrified, that meant something did happen at the park. "We have no time to waste we are heading to that park, I don't care about the risk," Siegel said as he immediately informed Uzumi and the rest of the remaining Clyne faction members. They at first objected, but they knew that an order from the Chairman would overthrow their concerns.
All immediately started falling in as Siegel wasn't waiting for a sort of transportation as he started on foot, followed by the rest of them. Cagalli and all of them were concerned so they followed Siegel.
Athrun and Nicol were still waiting for that report, and it came as Siegel was walking.
"We were attacked by a small group of assassins, but it seemed like they had one major member that was doing most of the work," Siegel went on.
Athrun listened carefully, he was glad not to see Kira's body back there, but he did see some of the unit that accompanied him.
"This guy was quick and strong, it appears that Lord Uzumi was the target, and the guy was about to finish the job, when all of a sudden he stopped, it was then that the guys turned on each other, and this one man finished the others off," Siegel was explaining everything.
Athrun was horrified to hear that, it meant that something had to go wrong, and he just hoped that it wasn't as bad as he thought it was he hoped that the unit turned on them, and Kira was forced to get rid of them, but something told him that wasn't the case.
"After he finished them, Waltfeld had him at gunpoint, he ignored orders to drop his weapons, and used speed never seen before as he instantly dropped him, and then set up a smoke screen and escaped, it was very strange," Siegel finished.
Athrun knew this was trouble, and he hoped to find Kira and get the answers from him, Athrun just hoped that his father would not do what he knew he would, but Athrun couldn't imagine him giving the order on Kira who he raised since birth, but he knew his father wasn't the same anymore either, it was bad at first, but it seemed to get worse.
They kept going until they reached the park area.
Small Park Area
After the unit radioed into Patrick they immediately went straight into action, they started gathering up film from the cameras, and they went over the layout quickly for any security cameras on roofs of neighboring buildings, they had to do this quick as they instantly split up, and gather all of what they could. The commander of the unit loyal to Patrick knew the last thing Patrick said and that was to inform Siegel of something when he arrived.
The units were off gathering what they could, when the commander noticed that Mu and Andrew, along with a few remaining units arrived; he knew his orders were to stall, so he instantly approached them.
Andrew and Mu couldn't believe the sight here, this was a complete wreck as the damage was worse here, mostly from Yzak's main weapon, trees were torn, cars destroyed, buildings were heavy damaged, and not anywhere could they see Lacus.
"This area is off limits sir," the commander said as he approached them.
Andrew looked at him, "We have orders from the chairman, where is Miss Lacus?"
The commander immediately put on his act, "We cannot give out that information sir."
Andrew grew furious, "We have the chairman's orders."
The commander smiled, Patrick actually told him one more thing and he was going to do that right now.
"The chairman will have no part in this investigation," the commander said.
Andrew and Mu were getting annoyed, "What are you babbling about, the chairman what to know where his daughter is, and if she is fine!" Andrew shouted.
The commander looked at him seriously, "Oh she's perfectly alright, sir."
Mu and Andrew were a little more relieved, but they started asking more questions and were getting nothing.
Siegel and the others finally arrived on scene and were horrified at the sight, Siegel eagerly wanted to know where Lacus was, as he saw Mu and Andrew talking with one of the commanders. Siegel and the rest approached him as Siegel wanted answers.
The commander noticed that his unit finished up as he was stalling Mu and Andrew, he also saw Siegel approaching and he smiled widely as he was now going to say what Patrick told him to. Patrick no longer needed to act buddy like with Siegel especially since the election was just about days away, so whatever Siegel said, Patrick could make it seem like a desperate move by Siegel. The commander only hoped that Rau would be able to deliver the proof to what he was about to say, or all would be finished.
Siegel stopped in front of Mu and Andrew, "Where is she?"
Mu and Andrew looked at him, "All we know is she's alright, this moron won't tell us anything else, he said it's classified."
Siegel looked surprised and then, back at the commander, "Where is my daughter?"
The commander looked at him, "Where indeed sir, but I cannot tell you anything else."
Siegel looked at him, "I demand to know what is going on."
The commander slightly smiled, "The matter is under investigation sir, since you are in a complicated position, the authority has been handed to defense committee Zala."
Siegel didn't know what he was talking about, "What investigation?"
The commander smiled again, "Your daughter was apart of the attacks today, she helped with everything."
Siegel and the others looked horrified; there was no way that was true.
"That is ridiculous Lacus would never do such a thing, how dare you say that about her," Siegel shouted.
"That is absurd Lacus would never want to harm me," Uzumi added in.
"How stupid are you," Cagalli shouted.
Athrun and Nicol knew other wise, something that wasn't supposed to happen, happened here, Lacus was not supposed to be a target, and they could tell that what happened here Patrick must have changed his mind, and then it clicked to Athrun, Kira must have found out about this and stopped it, as this would be a backup plan for his father.
The commander looked at him, "We have witnesses, and proof sir, your daughter was the one who planned and helped carry out this attack."
"I demand to see this so called proof!" Siegel shouted again.
The man smiled, "That is classified sir, you are in a complicated situation, which is why authority on this matter was already handed down by the council to Zala, he will take everything we have to the council and then she will be classified as a traitor and conspirer to prevent the peace treaty."
"You will just hunt her down then," Siegel shouted as he was really angry, but he did have no power in this situation.
"Her whereabouts will be found soon, and we will bring her in, for now that is all I can tell you," the commander said as he left, making sure that everyone of Zala's words were spoken and then he left to finish up.
Siegel and the others were left in shock and disbelief, as Siegel and they didn't believe a word of it, and they would prove it.
Zala Plant
The rain made it a little darker, it would still be a little strange if they were spotted, but it was better than nothing. Kira smiled over at her again, and Lacus nodded as they quickly made there way out of the shuttle bay.
Kira knew this area like the back of his hand, and they would have to take a few backwards roads to reach his place with less attention. As soon as they left the shuttle bay, they immediately took an ally that lead into the main part of the city, they would have to do a few fence climbing's and things like that but it should be to difficult.
Lacus kept closely to Kira, she was very concerned that he didn't seem well enough to walk and she wanted him to get treated soon, she also noticed that her own leg was bothering her again, which would slow them down. Lacus kept taking glances of Kira, she wanted badly to start asking him the questions she needed answers to, but she would wait. Kira knew they couldn't get caught with them looking like this, but Kira now couldn't ditch any of his weapons or equipment as his supply would be very limited now, so he had to keep it with him.
They reached the end of one ally that led to another and another, the rain pored down hard and both were getting soaked. When they got to another end this one lead to an open road, with a lot of traffic, Kira knew they would have to wait as they needed not to be seen. Kira knew they were also heading into a bad part of the city as well, but that couldn't be helped. Kira stopped and waited for the traffic to clear as Lacus noticed he was leaning on the wall, so she leaned up against the other one.
Kira looked over and noticed she was looking at him, "Is there anything you wish to talk about?" Kira said as he was getting nervous.
Lacus immediately looked into his eyes, she loved his eyes, they were so sincere and most importantly she could tell they were loving eyes, and she noticed he only used those eyes when he looked at her.
Lacus smiled, "I just want to know…" Lacus said as Kira instantly saw that the traffic was clear.
"I'm sorry but we have to go," Kira said as he held out his hand to her, she smiled and graciously took it, as Kira saw that it was clear and they made a run for it, they got lucky and made it to the other side, as they headed down a little ways and turned into another ally, and started walking again.
Lacus was so close to asking what she wanted to know, but it seemed fate was going to make her wait longer.
Kira wanted to answer, but they had no choice they had to go, "I'm sorry Lacus, but I will…" Kira said again as he was struck by pain, again and slumped over as Lacus immediately tended to him, she couldn't stand seeing him in pain, and it hurt her deeply.
Kira didn't want to worry her, as he knew she would be so he rose up again, as once again his wound started, Lacus made him lean into her as they kept walking. Kira slumped his head so that it was on her shoulder he was draining fast, Lacus blushed as she placed her head lightly on top of his as she made sure to guide them the way that Kira was pointing to.
They kept walking and were nearing the richer district where they would be home free and she noticed Kira was now not even responding that well, she stopped for a minute and looked at him, and she didn't even know what was happing from behind them.
Lacus noticed Kira's eyes open again as he was about to say something when she felt herself being yanked away, and Kira fell to the ground as he didn't know what happened.
Lacus looked back and saw two gruff looking alcoholics that must have come out of the nearby bar, who were without a doubt drunk.
They grabbed Lacus and she struggled to get free.
"Look what he found," one said as he was almost completely drunk.
The other one smiled and cupped her chin making her look at him, "Why don't you drop the dead weight and come with us."
Lacus struggled more as she trying to get free, but one laughed and pulled out his knife holding it to her throat, Lacus saw this and froze solid.
"That's better, now you're all quiet," one said again as the other laughed.
"You have less than one second to get your disgusting hands off of her, or you die," Kira said as his body once again came back around, his body was very different and could adapt in a short amount of time, but this would only be for a few minutes.
The two immediately looked at him, as well as Lacus, she couldn't believe he was back on his feet.
"Ha…what can you do, this is our prize for the night," one said.
Lacus wasn't going to move because of the knife but she didn't want him getting worse because of her, "Don't do this……." Lacus said as the man covered her mouth with his hand.
"Be quiet now girl, we will have our fun later, but first we will get rid of little man here," the man said as these two where fat with very little muscle, but they were coordinators; however that would make no difference to Kira.
Kira glared intently at them as his eyes immediately changed, "I said get your disgusting hands off her."
The man holding Lacus laughed, it was getting dark and raining and these two were too wasted to see Kira's weapons, but Kira wouldn't let them off that easy.
"You think your tough, well one move and I cut her pretty throat," he said as he laughed again as well as the second man, but that was a mistake, Kira used every last inch of his energy and rushed the man holding Lacus, before the man knew it he felt Kira's fist connecting with his nose shattering it to pieces, the man screamed in pain as his hold on Lacus loosened and Lacus got free, the man feel down and the other one was shaking badly.
"Mon…mo…Monster," the man said as he rushed at Kira, and threw his fist, but Kira caught it, the man was once again amazed, but this time Kira squeezed it as hard as he could instantly crushing every bone in his hand, this guy screamed even louder tears were flowing down his face and he was begging for mercy, and Kira showed no mercy, as he wobbly kicked the man as hard as he could straight in the head, shattering his neck with the impact, as it flew to the side, he was down for good.
The other man finally made it to his feet, and saw what happened, "What are you?" he asked as he was petrified of the look in Kira's eyes.
Kira said nothing as he sent his fist straight into his gut, shattering many ribs, and then used his other hand striking his chest causing massive internal bleeding.
Lacus watched as his eyes changed from loving to this in a moment, and she knew these animals deserved this, but something wasn't right with his eyes.
Kira watched as the man instantly fell coughing up blood and the other one was down for good, Kira wanted to finish them off badly but one look at Lacus and he couldn't, he saw the fear in her eyes, and it had to be from him, and his heart dropped as his eyes returned to normal.
Lacus watched as his eyes changed again, but this time there was sorrow and pain, he thought she would fear him, she didn't know how but she could tell this.
Kira hesitated at first, but then walked over to her leaning down, "Are…are you alright Lacus?" Kira asked as he found her throwing herself onto his chest, she wasn't afraid for herself, she was afraid for him.
"I'm sorry, I should have been paying more attention, you wouldn't have had to do that if…" Lacus said as she found Kira's arms go around her pulling her close, Lacus blushed immediately as she rested her head on his chest.
"Nothing is ever your fault…I just…I just can't control it sometimes…especially when it comes to people I ca…" Kira stopped himself as he was going to say care about, but Lacus knew the meaning as she returned his embrace.
"You have had a rough life I know it…" Lacus said as she once again didn't know how but she knew this would be another thing maybe they could talk about.
Kira knew somehow they understood each other, he looked down as he forgot about his wound, but it was about to come back again, he looked down and placed his face near her hair taking in her scent he loved it, and what he did next shocked him more than Lacus, as he gently kissed the top of her head.
Lacus' eyes went big, but she didn't mind at all, in fact she wanted it, "He just kissed me, but it was so soothing and gently, he has so many sides to him, but I know this is the real Kira." Lacus said to herself as she shut her eyes again.
Kira couldn't believe what he did, and he wanted to apologize, but as he looked down he saw her smiling, as he knew she didn't mind it.
Kira wanted to hold her longer but his side was agonizing him in pain again, as Lacus immediately broke the embrace with concern.
"We should go, you have to be looked at," Lacus said as Kira nodded and they stood up continuing the trip.
Kira and Lacus leaned into each other the rest of the way, as Kira pointed each direction, they got out of the allies and into the richer district, but this wouldn't cause much trouble, as it was now getting late, and the rain was still coming down. Lacus remembered Kira say mansion but when they headed into a remote region it was only trees, as they kept going Lacus was going to ask again, but they came to a lone mansion, that was Kira's.
"This one," Kira said as he started fiddling with something in his vest and shirt.
Lacus was amazed at this place, she couldn't see the house yet but the gate was something, Kira pointed up to his custom made device as Lacus and him walked over to it, Kira finally got his master keycard out and Lacus watched as he did his magic, Kira swiped the card through, and then placed his hand on the pad, and eyes into the machine, as Lacus made sure to help stabilize him, after a second everything was confirmed and a few security devices went off and the gates opened.
Lacus was surprised, as Kira smiled, "Let's go," Kira said softly as Lacus smiled and they walked in.
To be continued…
