Chapter 13: Shinn

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam SEED nor Destiny. If I did, Auel and Stellar wouldn't die. :D.

A/n: Ch. 13 is here!

----------

During the last chapter:

"Who are you?" Kira asked as he got up.

"Who do you think it is?"

----------

Kira looked around the room, looking for the person who spoke to him, but it was too dark that he could hardly see any of himself!

"Where are you?" Kira shouted hoping that the person would answer.

"I'm inside you," the voice replied calmly.

'Inside?' Kira's mind shouted as he held himself. "What the heck are you doing inside of me?" he shouted.

"Fine, I'll come out," the voice said in a bit of a harsh way. A red light came out of Kira's body, shocking him for a bit. The red light then took its' true form in front of him. It created a boy with messy black hair, red eyes, and wearing the academies uniform. He was sitting down with his legs crossed, Kira gave an awkward look.

"And you are?" he asked.

"Shinn Asuka," Shinn replied.

"You're the spirit that's inside of me?" Kira exclaimed as his eyes widened.

"No duh." Shinn replied in a sarcastic way, "Isn't it obvious since I sort of look like you?"

"Eheh," Kira gave a nervous laugh as he scratched the back of his head. He then turned to Shinn with a more serious look.

"Okay, where are we?"

"We're inside your mind, since your sleeping and all," Shinn explained.

"Okaay…now why did you call me?" Kira asked again.

"I wanted to tell you what happened here."

"Happened where?"

" Genesis Academy. Stellar already explained most of it to your sister Cagalli, but she was cut off so I decided to tell you." he sighed.

"And you know this…how?"

"Because Stellar and I are connected, just like you and Cagalli."

Kira gave an awkward look, "Huh?"

Shinn sighed, he just doesn't get it, doesn't he? "Alright," he began, "Stellar and I are spirits and you are our reincarnations."

"Why were you reincarnated?"

"Because…you wouldn't understand even if I told you." Shinn sighed.

"Aww…you can tell me! I'll try to understand everything!" Kira whined.

"Fine. Since you're my other half and all…" He muttered the last four words. Kira nodded and sat down, waiting for Shinn to talk.

"Alright, your sister already knows half the story, so you should ask her for the whole story. So I'm gonna explain why were reincarnated and stuff." Kira nodded.

"It's this…"

Flashback

"What's going on?" Stellar asked afraid. Shinn shook his head, not knowing what to do or say.

Nurses and doctors were pushing their beds down the hallway. There were no students since they were in class.

"Ma'am, what's going on?" Shinn asked one of the nurses.

"We need to run some test," the nurse replied, "since we don't know how bad your genes affected your powers. We are only doing this just to be safe."

'What does she mean by that?' Shinn thought as he tried to sit up, but it was no use, the straps were to tight.

"What does she mean…affected our powers?" Stellar asked.

"You'll see once we get to the Practice Room." the nurse said as they continued down the hall.

'I hope this means nothing bad…'

At the Practice Room:

The nurses and doctors placed Shinn and Stellars' beds on the left corner of the room. The two looked around. The room still looked the same, but what they felt when they were inside was different.

"Stellar, Shinn." called a voice. The two looked up and saw Mr. Clyne.

"What are we doing here?" Shinn demanded.

"We are just going to test your powers. I want to make sure nothing bad happened." he assured. Stellar and Shinn sighed, what the heck was going on?

"Stellar, you're up first!" called an assistant. The nurses released Stellar from the straps and she sat up, sighing. The doctors led her to a machine that wasn't in the room before. Stellar gulped.

"Stellar, I want you to sit down." the assistant instructed. She did what she was told and sat down on the white chair. A machine that seemed to be made for the head came down from the ceiling and landed on Stellar. Two wires were then connected to the side of her head.

'What the heck are they doing?' Stellar thought as she saw everyone take notes.

"Alright Stellar, I want you to concentrate REALLY hard on what scares you, or what you hate the most." the assistant instructed.

"Umm…okay," Stellar said in a unsure tone. She closed her eyes and focused. 'What scares me the most…?'

"Death."

'Huh?' she thought, what was that?

"You're scared of it. You're scared of not being able to see anyone or anything that you love."

'Who is this?'

"Your conscience."

'…that's not true…'

"You know it is."

Images of death started to appear in Stellar's mind.

'What's…WHAT'S GOING ON?' she shouted in her head.

Outside her mind, a blue aura appeared out of her hands. Everyone in the room stood back, worried about what was happening.

"Sir…what's going on?" a panicking nurse asked Siegel.

"I-I don't know!" he exclaimed, "Everyone! Hide behind something!" Everyone did what they were told and hid. 'Stellar has grown even MORE powerful!'

"I don't wanna…I don't wanna…I don't wanna die!" Stellar shouted as she squirmed in her chair.

"STELLAR!" Shinn shouted, he wanted to help her, but he couldn't. The nurses and doctors were shielding him and the straps were still on him.

"I'm…I'm scared…" Stellar muttered as the blue aura went all over her body. Her eyes became dark as she gritted her teeth. "NO!" she shouted as a vortex came out from behind her, sucking everything in. A white also appeared as it covered the whole room, blinding everyone.

'At this rate…we'll die!' Siegel thought. He then crawled towards toward Stellar and the machine. He tried to find the plug, when he did, he quickly pulled it, stopping everything and Stellar. Her head then tilted to the side and her eyes were shut, meaning that she was knocked out.

"What…what was that?" Shinn exclaimed.

"I don't know," Siegel paused, "But I think it's best that we don't test her abilities for a while."

Shinn shook, Stellar wasn't…dead…was she?

The nurses laid her body beside Shinn, who was just staring at her. "Stellar?" he called out. No response. Her eyes remained shut.

"Do we test Shinn now?" asked the assistant.

"...yes." Siegel replied, "But I just hope the same thing doesn't happen."

End Flashback

"Did the same thing happen?" Kira asked. Shinn shook his head.

"Nope, I was alright. But my powers were still more powerful then before. I guess I just had more control over them."

"So Stellar never woke up?"

"She did, except that she was too weak to move." Shinn replied in a sad tone.

"What was that machine?" Kira asked.

"That machine controls are conscience. Remember when Stellar was told to remember what she hates or fears the most? That was death. The people knew that she wouldn't think of that, so they put that machine on her." Shinn explained.

"So…what happened?"

Flashback (2)

Stellar opened her eyes weakly and looked around; she was in the nurse's room! She tried to move around, but the straps were back. She noticed something on her mouth, it was a mask that helps her breath. 'What in the world happened?' she asked herself. The room was too dark to see anything. Stellar looked at her side and noticed that Shinn was gone.

'Did he get better?' she asked herself again.

"Stellar?" A voice interrupted her thoughts. It was Shinn!

"…Shinn?" she muttered weakly.

"Ah! You awake!" he exclaimed as he ran towards her.

"What happened? Why aren't you strapped?" she asked weakly.

"I'm alright now. They said that I had complete control of my powers and that I can be released. You however…" Shinn paused, Stellar didn't need an explanation, she knew what he meant.

"So how long am I going to be here?" she asked. Shinn shrugged, "At least you're okay!" he forced a smile.

"You don't have to 'pretend' that your happy…" She said.

"Oh…sorry," he frowned.

"It's ok." Stellar then coughed, making Shinn worry.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Shinn asked with worried eyes.

"…yeah!" Stellar smiled.

"I'm just glad you okay…"he sighed. Stellar looked away as if she was trying not to cry.

"It doesn't matter if I'm ok or not…" she muttered, but Shinn heard her.

"What do you mean?" he exclaimed, "It DOES matter if your alright or not!"

"No it doesn't…if I did, 'die'…no one would miss me." Stellar then started to cry, but she didn't want Shinn to see her like that.

"That's not true!" Shinn exclaimed. Stellar's eyes widened at what he said, but she still didn't face him.

"What do you mean, 'no one would miss you'? Auel, Sting, our friends, they would ALL miss you! And me as well!"

'Shinn…'

"I wouldn't want to be with anyone but you!" He cried. Stellar finally faced him with tears streaming down her eyes.

"…what do you mean by that?" she stuttered.

"Stellar Loussier…I love you!" Shinn cried as he held her hand and kneeled beside her bed.

"Shinn…" Stellar was shocked, no one ever said 'I love you!' only her parents or her friends. Smiling, she replied, "I-I love you too Shinn!"

End Flashback

"That's…that's so sweet!" Kira cried as he wiped his eyes from tears with his cloak. Shinn twitched, "Your not supposed to be crying!"

"But…that was such a touching part!" he continued to sob.

"Whatever…" Shinn sighed.

----------

"What do you want, Rau?" Rey asked annoyingly.

"I need to go somewhere for a while," he started before Rey cut him off.

"And you need me for what?"

"I want you to take a break," Rau grinned.

"Huh?" Rey asked wide eyed.

"So, I have a special surprise for you."

Rey crossed his arms as he watched Rau turn his chair the other way, facing the window. "I want you to go to the Room of Darkness, you know where that is, right?"

Rey sighed and nodded.

"Good, so go there and you'll see your present. It's not complete yet, so just wait for her, okay? Use her to defeat the Hibiki twins." he instructed.

"Alright." Rau patted Rey's shoulder and walked out the doorway.

'What is that man planning?'

----------

"Murrue, I think that Hibiki boy is talking to his inner spirit," Mwu informed.

"What makes you think that?" she asked as she turned around, she was fixing the library shelf.

"I could just…feel it." Mwu shrugged. Murrue giggled, but then turned more serious, "Should we stop him?"

"I guess."

----------

"Shinn, what happened then?" Kira asked in his normal tone.

"You stopped crying now?" Shinn asked, Kira nodded and smiled.

"Okay, well…"

-----------

'Is this where he wants me to go?' Rey thought as he walked down the secret stairway in Rau's office. Inside the Room of Darkness, it was of course, pitch black. Rey used his aura as a light and walked down the room until he stopped in front of a large dark orb.

'So this is it?' Rey thought as he sat on the floor. "I guess I'll just have to wait here."
