Stealing His Heart
Hi! akidarchangelprincess here! Chapter 2... from me to you! Sorry if you found chapter 1 short. Ummm... this was actually a part of chapter 1 but I cut it...hehehe. To answer some of your questions... I got the weapons idea from Suikoden 2(if you played the game, then you'd be familiar) but I changed Kira's weapon to a double edged sword...Athrun's was the same(Joey's) and so was Miriallia's(Nanami's) Cagalli...i made it up...a little bit of OOCness from her part and an OOCness on the part of Miriallia too...hehehe...
Thanks so much for the reviews! You guys are my inspiration!
Don't forget to read enjoyand REVIEW...hehehe. Suggetions are welcome...flames? hmmmm...

Chapter 2: Miriallia's Fury
All heads turned to Miriallia, who had a huge grin on her face.
Kira too has a big grin on his face. "Yes. That's right. Why don't you come with us Cagalli? See we're on a journey to...ummmm...well, it's a big world out there... so much to explore... so much to see...so much to learn. Soooo what do you say? I'm sure Athrun wouldn't protest." Kira looks at Athrun who just nods at Cagalli.
Cagalli bites her bottom lip, contemplating on the offer. She glances sadly at her father's tomb. "Mmmmm...I guess...I mean...there's nothing left for me here but I don't want to intrude"
"Yaaaay!" Miriallia jumps with joy and hugs Cagalli. "A girl at last! I was soooo bored travelling with two boys! You know how boys can be sooo anoying at times."
Cagalli looks at Kira, who just smile at her. She looks at Athrun, who gives her a slight nod and shyly smiles at her. Then she looks at her father's tomb. " I'll just say goodbye to him..."
Kira nods in approval and gestures to Miriallia and Athrun. The three of them leaves Cagalli alone with her father. Kira glances at Milly who was still so ecstatic about having another girl with them. Then glances at Athrun, who is looking at Cagalli with a faraway look on his face.
Then Cagalli stands up and starts walking towards them. Miriallia greets her halfway. Kira couldn't help but smile at the way Miriallia is chatting nonstop with Cagalli. He glances at Athrun. Who's eyes are still fixed on Cagalli. He gives him a slight nudge to catch his attention. Athrun looks at him at last, as if dazed, and with a puzzled look on his face.
Miriallia and Cagalli descends the hill ahead of the boys.
Kira claps Athrun on the shoulder "You owe me one for this buddy" and winks at Athrun. Athrun blushes furiously and nods at Kira. The two of the grins at each other and walks down the hill after the two girls.
"Oh I'm sorry! Miriallia stops abruptly "How rude of us! We didn't even introduce ourselves." Miriallia then turns toward the two boys with a mischievious grin on her face. Points to Kira "This is my YOUNGER BROTHER Kira."
"Hey that's not fair!" Kira protests as Miriallia giggles and starts to run ahead of the group with Kira in pursuit. Miriallia thinks of Kira as his brother since they grew up together. But she teases him to be younger, knowing it annoys him.
Cagalli and Athrun watched the two banter. Then Athrun holds out his hands to Cagalli "I'm Athrun Zala."
Cagalli turns to him and takes his outstreched hand. "I'm Cgallli Yula Athha," with a small smile on her face. Athrun grips her hand slightly, liking the feel of them in his, then Cagalli releases Athrun's hand and walks after Kira and Miriallia.
Athrun looks at his hand with a huge grin on his face "hey wait up!"
Kira's stomach suddenly growls "oooohhh. Which reminds me...I'm hungry! How far is the next village anyway?"
Cagalli looks at Kira with an apologetic look on her face. "The nearest village is called Tamur, i'm sorry to say that's it's still quite far, about an hour walk...you think you can last that long?"
Miriallia snickers at Cagalli's last remark, but then her stomach growls all of a sudden. Miriallia blushed with embarrasement as Kira and Athrun laughed, which annoyed her. "Oooooh you're making fun of me. I'll show you." Then Miriallia's stomach growls again. All four of them burst out laughing.
Cagalli glances one more time toward her father, a small smile on her lips "Goodbye dad", then hurries after her three new friends. "We'd better clean ourselves first, there's a river nearby." All heads nods in approval.
Village of Tamur
"Ahhhh...I'm so full!" Miriallia declares with a satisfied look on her face, which suddenly faded at Athrun's remark...
"You'll get fatter if you eat more."
"Are you implying that i'm fat!"
"I'm just saying that you'll get ...ummm...fatter..." Athrun whispers the last word.
"So you are saying I'm fat!" Miriallia was fuming now.
"Well you can't blame me! You've been eating a lot lately. You're probaly eating more than Kira and besides, you were whinning about how hungry you were on our way here.
"I was not!"
"Yes you were. You were always 'I'm soooo hungry' like every 10 seconds on our way to this town."
"No I was not! You're exaggerating Athrun! Sheeesh!"
Kira and Cagalli watched the two banter with smiles on their face. Kira was used to it though, Cagalli, well, Cagalli found it amusing. She's an only child and grew up with adults as her companions, so this is something new to her. Watching them made her realize that she doesn't really know these people...where they came from...are they orphans...the real reason why they are travellig? Cagalli was pondering on these thoughts when Miriallia suddenly stands up.
"I've had it with you!" pointing at Atrhun "I'll have MY day! Aghhh!" and storms out of the restaurant.
Cagalli attempts to go after Miriallia but Kira stops her. "Don't worry, she'll be fine. She just needs to cool off a bit."
Athrun, still laughing turns to Cagalli "Yeah that's right. She just needs to cool off."
"Ooooohh! Damn you Athrun! I'll have my day. You'll see." Mirialli mutters to herself as she walks along the street without any idea where she was headed. Miriallia was still muttering to herself when suddenly
"Ow! Hey watch where you're going creep!" Miriallia yells at the person who just bumped into her with a murderous look on her face.
"I watch it? I watch it? You were the one who bumped into me, and you're calling me the creep!" The boy's eyes rolls up and his right hand is raised in exasperation. "Look here kid..." the boy addresses Miriallia in a calm and collected voice, as if he was talking to a child. "You bumped into me and I think you should apologize. But I have no time for little squirts like you so i'll just disregard this incident okay? At those words, the boy placed his hand on top Miriallia's head and ruffles her hair. Then he continues on his way.
Miriallia on the other hand was about to burst. Man! She was steaming mad! She stood in the middle of the street with her fist tightly clutched at her sides, mumbling to herself.
'The nerve! How dare he? How dare he treat me like a kid! I'll show him! I'll make him realize who the kid is!' At those words, Miriallia spins around and shouts "Now listen here you! Whaa!" The boy wqas gone! She couldn't believe her eyes! The boy was actually gone and she missed the opportunity to get back at him! That made her more furious! So she ran to the corner, hoping to catch him, but he was gone. This time, Miriallia wa boiling mad. 'I'm not gonna let him get away with it!' But the boy was nowhere to be found.
Meanwhile, Kira and the others were getting woried over Miriallia. She had been gone a long time.
Kira stood up "I guess we'll have to look for her. Sigh. She must have gotten lost or something."
Athrun too stood up "I'll go with you. I need to apologize anyway." He then looks at Cagalli, who was also getting ready to leave. "Why don't you go and rest in your room. I'm sure you're pretty exhausted after all that's happened to you today." He then gives Cagalli a soft and tender smile.
"Yeah Cagalli. You get some rest. We'll inform you after we've found Miriallia so don't worry., okay?" Kira taps her on the shoulder, before leaving.
It took quite a while before they found Miriallia near the marketplace. And boy! Was she in a bad mood!
"Look Mir...I'm sorry for" Athrun starts but Miriallia cuts him off.
"Ooooh! Where is he! I can't believe he treated me like a kid!" Miriallia mumbles to herself, totally ignoring the two boys.
Kira waves his hand in front of Miriallia's face "Yooohoo? Hellooo? We were worried about you, you know."
But Miriallia continues to ignore them. 'Dammit! I'll get him. I'll show him.'
"Hey Mir!" Kira sticks his face in front of Miriallia's
Miriallia shrieks and steps back in surprise. "Kira! Where did you come from?"
Kira sighs in frustration. "I've been standing here for a while now. You didn't notice me 'coz you were too busy talking to yourself."
Athrun snickers and Mir snaps her head toward Athrun and gives him a murderous look. Athrun raises his hands, chest level, in a surrender position and shrugs.
"C'mon let's go back to the inn and get ouselves some rest." Kira suggests at the group.
Next Day at the Inn, Boy's Room
"Why don't we stay here for a couple of days" Kira suddenly suggests. "The owner of the restaurant(which also owns the inn upstairs) offered me a job. I know we could use the money."
"No problem here." Athrun pipes inn. "Hey maybe we ask the owner to hire me too."
"That's a good idea Athrun! But are you sure about this?" Kira asks, knowing that Athrun came from a wealthy family and he probably wasn't used to working.
Athrun nods "I have nothing to do anyway. And we'll earn twice as much."
"Make that thrice as much." Cagalli declares. All heads turn to her. Feeling embarrassed, Cagalli continues, "I heard the owner complaining that they were short handed in the restaurant. So I'll talk to him tomorrow and if we're lucky, he'll hire me."
"Me too!" Miriallia exclaims with a pout. "I can't let you guys do all the work."
"But Cagalli, I can't allow you to work. I mean...after what just happened..." Athrun expresses his concern, taking a step towards her.
Cagalli stops him by raising her right hand, palm facing Athrun "Stop. I can't let you guys do all the work. I'm part of the group now, right? So I want to do my part and help you guys earn money...ummm... I could steal some if you want..." Seeing the shocked faces on all three of her new friends, she grins, "I was just kidding about the stealing part...kay?" a look of relief on all three faces. "Besides, working will keep my mind occupied. This will be good for me. Thanks for your concern though. It really means a lot, Athrun."
Athrun blushes and looks down on the floor. "Well uhhh... if that's what you want then we..." looks at Cagalli "...won't stop you." Cagalli smiles at him, which made him blush even more.
"Well that settles it. "Miriallia exclaims. "The four of us are gonna make money. What a team!" She grabs Cagalli's hand and drags her out of the room. "Well goodnight boys. We're all going to need to rest if we start working early tomorrow morning."
Cagalli glances at Athrun and smiles to him, before leaving the room.
Kira looks at Athrun as soon as the door was closed. His best friend was still facing the door with a tiny smile on his face. "Gosh Athrun, I've never seen you blush like that before." He claps him on the shoulder and heads for his bed, stiffling a laugh.
"Oh shut up Kira!" Athrun retorts and heads for his bed, but not before glancing once again at the closed door, a smile, once again on his face, as he thought of a certian blonde.
Next morning, all four of them were busy working. The girls works at the kitchen and the restaurant, while the boys works as errand boys or helping out in the kitchen.
The four of them are seated at the restaurant, which was already closed, eating their dinner. Kira and Athrun on one side, Cagalli and Miriallia on the other. Both girls were still wearing their uniform, a baby skirt(which is too short in both girl's opinion), paired with a pale cream top and a petite white apron in front of the skirt.
"I can't believe they're making us wear this stupid outfit! If not for the money we're earning, then I wouldn't be caught dead in this slutty outfit!" Miriallia complains to the group.
Cagalli too was sooo not happy about their uniform. In fact, this was the first time she wore a skirt. All her life she wore pants or shorts, but never a dress or a skirt. She grew up with boys and her father made her dress up as a boy so as to not get 'attention' from her father's men. But she couldn't complain out loud just like Miriallia did 'coz she would be embarrased to do so. All three of them were still somewhat strangers to her so she didn't know how they'd react, and besides, she volunteered to work, and working means wearing this stupid outfit.
"Aw c'mon Miriallia, as I have said, you need not work if you don't want to and besides, you look cute in that outfit." Kira teases her. Athrun remains silent but is trying his best not to laugh.
Miriallia glares at them both.
"Really Mir, you look cute in that outfit. I saw some of the boys looking your way since we started."
"Sure they LOOK my way, but they OGLE your way, Cagalli. I say that you look way too cute in that uniform...Athrun should know, right?" Miriallia looks at Athrun with a mischievious glint in her eyes. "I mean the way he's bee looking at you..." Both Athrun and Cagalli blush and looks down "...not to mention Kira, who kept looking your way every possible chance he could get."
"Huh? He? Kira! " Athrun snaps his head to look at Kira.
Sweat drop on Kira "Well...uhhh...hahaha..." Kira blushes and looks down avoiding Athrun's gaze.
End of Chapter 2.
I know...I know...You're thinking that I'm going to pair up Kira and Cagalli again...hmmmm...we'll see...
Truthfully, I think they're cute together..but since they're siblings...
But Athrun is still the best pair for Cagalli of course!
