Last Time:

"I think we should find Athrun." Kira said at last.

"I agree." Jasmine said as they stood to continue there quest.

Chapter Seven: Trying to Find the Real You

Kira and Jasmine had been on the road for a long time. Kira thinking about the stupid mistake that may have caused many to die. Jasmine sat behind him worrying about her dear friend. He hadn't seen his friends for three very long years. Now he was going back to them having realized that Flay may have targeted them. At the next stop Jasmine had gained enough courage to question her friend.

"Kira?" Jasmine said as they walked into a nearby restaurant.

"I'm Flame remember?" Kira answered angrily.

"I'm sorry!" Jasmine took a step back.

"No I should be the one who is sorry... I shouldn't snap at you. You don't deserve this kind of life Jazz. Everyone around me has always been in danger... I just don't know what I'm going to do or say around Athrun. I'm scared..." Kira hung his head low as they sat down in a corner booth in the corner of the restaurant.

"Its okay Flame. I realize your under a lot of pressure. I just worry about you is all." Jasmine grabs a hold of his hand and rubs it tenderly.

Kira could feel the tension leave him as they sat there quietly.

"How did you heal me?" Kira finally asked.

"Oh umm..." She said nervously..

Kira stared at her until she finally looked down. She sat there quietly trying to figure out what to say.

"I'm not really sure how I did it." Jasmine whispered.

"Why did you do it?" Was his next question.

Her head snapped up at this. Kira looked down at his folded hands on the table. She didn't get a chance to answer because the waitress came to take their order. They gave their orders and then fell silent.

"At first I thought it was because I didn't want to lose another friend." Jasmine said as she studied at her nails.

"And now?" Kira asked softly.

"Now I think I healed you because I love you." Jasmine continued to look down.

Kira's eyes widened at this. He thought about it for a long time. Jasmine began to fidget in her seat as she waited for Kira to speak.

"What is love? I thought I had it once but I lost it." Kira whispered.

"You still thinking about Flay..." Tears welled in her eyes.

"No. Not Flay. Flay was a mistake." Kira said firmly.

Jasmine looked at him in surprise. Kira held anger in his eyes as he silently looked at Jasmine.

"Who then?" Jasmine asked.

"Lacus Clyne was someone I once had a crush on. She was so nice to me... Helped me a lot during the war. After I left I learned that I hadn't loved her. Maybe as a sister but nothing more." Kira looked out the nearby window.

"Oh..." Jasmine said looking back down at her nails.

"But I think I found love again." Kira said as he continued to look out the window.

"Oh?" Jasmine looked interested with a little hope in her heart.

"I think I love you Jasmine." Kira turned to look at Jasmine.

Kira has an adorable blush on his face. Jasmine jumps up (which is hard considering their in a booth) And hugs Kira over the table. Kira just blinks before returning the hug. When they settled back down there food had arrived.

"Where is Athrun?" Jasmine asked.

"I believe he is in New York City." Kira answered. 1.

So after they paid there bill they walked away from the restaurant holding hands. Mean while a pair of eyes watched them darkly.
