(A/N)- Author's Notes

(Lalala)- Ghost Speaking

Last Time:

Athrun and Kira get on Kira's motorcycle where they preceded to leave Zala Manor. Kira looks back at the place he had only known for a day with a sad smile. Athrun looks back and memories try to resurface. They sped off into the rising sun. They aren't going to wait for the fight to be brought to them. Not anymore. No more mister nice guy...

Chapter Fourteen: Uh Oh...

"Kira can you maybe drive better? I can't get a good shot." Athrun yelled as Kira swerved into another lane.

"Well if you would like to live then no." Kira called back.

"We're going to have take this battle on foot. Any ideas where?" Athrun shouted over the roar of the motorcycle.

"It can't be a place where a lot of people are and they can't be able to see the battle either." Kira shouted back.

"We are in New York City! What do you expect?" Athrun shot at the ghost on its motorcycle.

For the last hour Kira and Athrun had been chased by an unknown ghost. Slow down and they die so while Kira drove his motorcycle Athrun sat behind him firing at the ghost. Now mind you that Kira is on a high way (They are on the outskirts of the city) that is crowded with earlier morning businessmen and women. So Athrun can't fire very often and Kira has to swerve in and out of traffic in order to stay one step ahead of there enemy.

"How about a park? Its five in the morning. There shouldn't be anyone out." Kira finally yelled.

"Its worth a try. Take a right at the next intersection." Athrun continues to try and shoot the enemy as they make there way to Central Park.

"Try and get a head start Kira. When we get there we should be hiding by the time he catches up." Athrun shoots another round.

"There is only one problem with that plan Athrun. He can be wherever he wants at any time. Its only a miracle that he hasn't tried to come up beside us." Kira swerves into the right lane.

"We have to do something. What the... Where'd he go?" Athrun cried out.

"Athrun hang on!" Kira screamed as he just barely managed to get out of the way.

As the motorcyclist sped past Kira got a good look at his face. What he saw nearly made him collide with a tree. Suddenly Central Park was ahead and Kira began to count the seconds until they would leap off and try and hide. The moment the motorcycle stopped Athrun leaped off and into a tree. Kira took a moment to take the keys before leaping into a bush.

The other motorcycle came to a stop just beside Kira's. The man got off but did not take his helmet off. He scanned the area before disappearing in the fog that just appeared. Kira began to shiver slightly as the air grew cold.

(Come out! Come out! Where ever you are!) Came the voice of the ghost.

(I just want to kill you.) He continued in a sing song voice.

"Why Mu?" Kira's voice echoed throughout the park.

(My master wishes to add you to his collection. Now be good boys and come out.) Mu La Flaga called out.

"Who is your master?" Kira asked.

(An old friend of yours Kira. He died many years ago.) Mu continued to search for the two boys.

(Have you found them yet?) Another voice asked.

(The master grows impatient.) Said another.

(Don't worry. We'll get them this time. Getting them to leave there friends... ingenious.) Said Mu.

"Oh my god... Tom... Bailee... Tai." Kira cried from his position.

"Kira no!" Athrun cried out just before Kira could do anything.

(Oh Kira! I want revenge for, you taking the love of my life and well... my life.) Tai's sing song voice rang out.

"No... Tai." Kira cried.

To Kira... Tai's death was recent. He is stilling mourning his death. Kira at this point just wanted to die. He has caused so much suffering. Tai... was like his brother and now he is a ghost trying to kill him. If Athrun had been killed... Kira knew that he would have let Athrun kill him.

(Come now Kira. Don't keep us waiting.) Said a new voice.

Kira's eyes widened as he looked up at Athrun. Athrun was looking into the fog trying to find the ghosts. Athrun looked down at Kira and saw terror in his eyes. Athrun turned toward where footsteps could be heard. A man stepped into view. An older man wearing a lab coat. That's right... The one who helped Kira figure out how to purify the ghosts spirits... Doctor Youngling.

(A/N Well I hope you all like this chapter. Again its not long but it got to where I wanted it too. I will try and write longer chapters from now on. Thank you to those who reviewed.

Oh and to answer one of the questions someone asked me earlier in a review...

konekokitten: Lacus had to die for a reason. It will become more clear in a later chapter but for now... This is all I can offer you. One reason is because I needed her out of the way so that Jasmine has a place. There are other reasons I had her die. If you continue to read you will find out but if at the end of the story and you still wonder why then I will explain it. Thank you for the review.

Shirogami: I needed to put in a twist in that chapter. I would never forgive myself if I killed her as well. My friend was so mad at me. Any ways I did have him go crazy in the last chapter. Things are about to be stepped up a notch. I hope you like the chapter.

Please R&R people! I know people read this story. I really want to know what you think. Again thank you to those who did review. Ciao for now.
