Somewhere Out There

Chapter 5: Cries of the Heart

Kira fluttered his eyes until they finally opened. The rays of the sun, however, were trying to shut them down. He stretched his body as he sat up in bed and he yawned. He lay down in bed again as he looked at his ceiling. A week had passed since the sad reunion with Lacus. He had been walking around the streets for a while just to encounter her and her son Daniel. Luck wasn't on his side on those days and so he sighed. He closed his eyes and recalled that night when he held her in his arms. He remembered how he ran his hand temptingly down her back; it felt so electrical inside! He grinned, 'why am I thinking this way?' he thought as he laughed at his own thoughts.

He finally got up from bed and went quickly to his bathroom to change. The shower felt as good as it poured down Kira's body. He washed his face and thought about Lacus again, 'she looks more beautiful now than before,' he grinned at the thought. He brushed his wet hair from his face and looked at his right hand. He remembered touching Lacus' hand. He also recalled the moment when Albert made her cry and then tried to kiss her! 'The asshole thinks he can get her so easily...' he thought as he applied shampoo to his brown and messy hair. He quickly rinsed it and dried himself. He opened his dresser and saw very elegant suits, 'should I go to work today?' he asked himself foolishly. A small smile escaped his lips as he closed his business cabinet and opened his other cabinet filled with clothes for going out, 'should I roam around the city?' he asked himself again. He yawned, 'for what?' he closed the cabinet and opened his other cabinet, 'I prefer staying home...'

He went down stairs only to be greeted by a sweet smell of newly cooked food, "what are you cooking Granny?" Kira asked, as he made his way to the couch. "Oh, just a few bacon and eggs. Would you like me to cook your favorite dear Kira?" an old voice asked. Kira smiled, "Nah... Bacon and eggs is fine with me," he replied as he scanned the TV for more interesting programs. Granny took a peek at Kira and noticed the way he dressed, "Aren't you going to work today?" she asked as she flipped some eggs skillfully. "Nope... Brian's going to take care of things for me," he replied, not taking his eyes off of the TV. Granny snorted, "Brian has been taking care of things since you hired him," she deliberately said to him. Kira tried to hide his laugh, "Well, it is his job to assist me in anyway possible," Kira smirked.

"I believe he deserves more to be called the PRESIDENT than the vice-president," Granny said as she placed a few bacons in the plate. Kira thought about it for a moment then recalled the times when Brian did all of his work as the PRESIDENT of his company. 'Maybe he does deserve it...' he thought.

Granny placed the food on the table and took of her apron, "By the way dear, have you found the person you were looking for these past few days?" she asked. Kira flinched, 'Why on earth does she know that I'm looking for someone?'

"Breakfast is ready dear..." she called. Kira sighed and went to eat. "Granny, has anyone sent letters?" Kira asked while taking a bite of bread. "Some letters came from Cagalli and Athrun greeting you. They said they will be coming here on your birthday," she replied as she ate some of her eggs. "Well, I think that should make the house preoccupied for a while..." Kira cheered while drinking some juice. "Well, you could've at least bought a small house and not this mansion! It feels creepy whenever I clean some of the guest rooms," she exclaimed. Kira giggled. It was a good thing Cagalli let Granny come with him. She was a lot of help!

"So... have you found the one now?" Granny joked, though she knew it meant a lot to him. Kira sneered, "No... No sign of the one yet..." he sadly replied. Granny pouted, she had a hunch unto why he's acting like this, "Well, if it's because of the bitch then..." she stopped when Kira stopped her.

"Granny, I told you not to say the b word..." Granny raised her brow, "Okay fine. Well, if it's because of Fllay then let her go to hell," she calmly spoke which made Kira laugh humorously. "Why do you hate her that much?" Kira managed to ask but he didn't angrily did it. "Well, she is after all a... you know what!" Granny exclaimed and then she laughed together with Kira.

He thought for a while then looked at Granny, "Granny, I've met someone a week ago. Well, not really someone new but she's..." he was cut off.

"A girl? Is she pretty and young?" Granny asked, with that humorous tone. Kira laughed weakly, "Yeah it's a girl and she's pretty and young," Granny looked at him furiously.

"But she's an old friend of mine..." he continued.

"Was it Rachel?"

"No"

"Was it Mystique?"

"No"

"Was it Helen?"

"No and no"

"Is she one of the girls you had as a girl friend?"

"Again it's a no Granny!"

Granny shrugged her shoulders, "I'm done guessing kid,"

"She has a son and she's married; her husband died two years ago," explained Kira while looking blankly at his bacon. "Do you like her?" Granny blurted which made him turn his attention to the old woman. "Hell no Granny! It was... it was Lacus," he choked.

Granny froze, "Lacus, Lacus Clyne?" she asked, still in a slight shock. Kira could only nod, "Well, not eventually Lacus Clyne. She's moreover called as Lynette Sanders now," Kira sighed heavily. Granny grinned at the boy, "So you're having problems with her?" she slyly asked. Kira laughed weakly, "NO! Why should I?" Kira defended while blushing. "I never thought we'd ever find her since she just suddenly disappeared 10 years ago! Did you ask her why she didn't... you know... said goodbye before she left," Granny looked at Kira who seemed to be in his own deep thoughts. He dropped the spoon and clenched his hair, "I don't know... she just suddenly got married; she has a son and then her husband died and now... she's torn. I've never seen her like that before," Kira breathed heavily as he looked at Granny for any suggestions.

"She's married; she has a son and so what? Don't act that way Kira; you've never seen her in ten years and people are bound to change their personalities!" Granny exclaimed while taking in a gulp of juice.

"Listen Kira if you feel responsible then do something..."

"Like what?"

"Like play with her kid some time..."

"The boy hates guys around her mother,"

"Well, force him to like you or maybe joke around..."

Kira turned his attention to Granny and wondered why she really wants him to just go for it, "why do you want me to do it so badly?" Kira asked, rather curious at what Granny might answer. To his surprise, Granny only giggled then gave Kira a stern look, "Just like what all our neighbors said: you need a wife!"

Kira quickly got out of his chair making a loud groan of disagreement, "Not again Granny; I told you I'll get married 5 to 6 years after!" Kira exclaimed as he sat back on his couch again. She then laughed humorously at the disappointed Kira, "Well, it is, by the way, your life and not mine..."

Kira rolled his eyes and continued to scan the TV for any good programs.

Kira smiled and, as if possessed, embraced her tightly in his arms. She felt discomfort at first but then accepted the feeling and the sensation. She took in his scent and her eyes were beginning to be teary.

"He told me he cared; he told me a... lot of things and so I foolishly believed him!!" she cried, as she melted into his strong arms.

'Damn, why does this hurt so much?!' he asked himself as those memories begin to make him think even more about Lacus' situation. "Just think about it Kira, MAYBE THIS TIME!" joked Granny. Kira groaned again and wiped his face with his hands, "Granny I'm going outside for some fresh air. So as you know, I don't like being teased!" spoke a very angry Kira as he got outside his mansion to go get some fresh air.

WITH LACUS AND DANIEL

"Are you sure you're going to leave the house dear?" asked a very concerned old woman. She looked at the pink-haired girl that took all her pictures and placed it in a box, "Yes, I'm sure of it mother; Daniel needs it more than I do," the pink-haired woman replied as she closed the box that was filled with memorable pictures. The old lady sighed and looked outside the window. She saw her grandson acting wild again, with a few assistants trying to place him inside the car. The child seemed to be shouting something like, "Let me go!" and "I don't want to leave this place!" while kicking the other maids.

"It seems like Daniel doesn't want to go away," the old lady observed. The pink-haired girl sighed heavily as she sat down hopelessly in bed; her eyes beginning to drown. "He needs it mother- I need it!" the woman cried as tears begin to flow down her eyes. She looked at one picture of her husband carrying Daniel on his shoulders and smiled to it.

The old lady grew worried and soon embraced her daughter-in-law. "Dear don't cry. I'm sure Daniel will return back to normal someday," the old lady cheered. "I don't know mom. It seemed like I've lost Daniel when I lost Allan," the woman helplessly whispered as more tears came out. It was tearing her apart more than anyone could ever imagine.

"He just needs a father," blurted the concerned lady. Lacus flinched, "he needs a father but he surely doesn't want one if that's the case!" the vision of Albert and Kira appeared in her mind. "I don't have time for anyone right now. I just want Daniel back," cried Lacus. The lady smiled weakly, "you need to be strong for Daniel... and for those who still believe he can be saved,"

Lacus looked at her mother with those sad and hopeless eyes. Her mother smiled at her sweetly, "That's the reason why my son fell in love with you; it was because you were brave, like no other woman in the world," the lady cheered. Lacus laughed weakly, "thanks mother..." she whispered sadly as the silence once again swallowed them.

Outside were a group of maids chasing Daniel, "Daniel, you need to get in the car!" exclaimed one of the care takers. Daniel laughed evilly, "I told you that I'm not going away!" the child shouted as he jumped away from the maids grasp so skillfully. He then threw small rocks at the servants, "You're not going to let me inside the car!"

Andy, beside the boy, just smiled; he quickly carried Daniel by the waist. "C'mon grandpa let me go!" cried the struggling child. "You're going to get your mother all teary again..." mumbled Andy as he placed Daniel on the back seat, pinning him with the seat belt.

Daniel crossed his arms, "I don't want to leave this place! I don't want to leave my dad's memories!" shouted the child as he pouted at his grandfather. Andy sneered, "Don't be so stubborn and all Daniel. You're going to love the new place I bought! We're going to live in a subdivision with lots of families! Then maybe you could find someone to play with!" his grandfather cheered as he saw Daniel lightening up a bit by the words you could find someone to play with. They're kids, what can you expect?

Daniel looked outside the car window and saw his mom hug his grandmother as they bade eachother goodbye. "I hope you'll visit us here Lynette," said the concerned old lady; her eyes were also teary. "I promise you that mother," lacus replied as she turned around to leave.

"Make sure that when you come back you already found a father for my grandson!" the old lady joked. Lacus laughed weakly and turned to face her mother, "Mom, I told you I don't have time for that!" she exclaimed as she went her way.

"No man could ever resist her beauty. Well if there is this one man then he's a fool!" exclaimed Allan as he looked at the pink-haired girl in his picture.

Aurora giggled slightly at the memory, "You're right Allan; who could ever resist the beauty of your wife," the old lady mumbled as she looked at Lacus enter her car.

Daniel waved his hand at his grandmother as she waved back; "Goodbye grandma, I'll see you soon!" shouted the child as their car went off. Who knows what will happen along the way.

WITH KIRA

He sat down along the bench facing the small lake of their subdivision; hours had passed and he still hadn't changed his position. It was quiet and all- well maybe not so much. Kira looked around and was a bit annoyed at the little ducks that passed by him; though he loved the view and the fresh air. Along the houses that stand, their were families with lots of children. Why did he ever by a house in this family based subdivision anyway?

He sighed heavily then began to throw rocks at the lake. It was boring but it was better than going to work and signing a lot of paper work! 'Where could she be?' he thought as a vision of Lacus entered his empty mind. There was nothing good to think about so he just decided to think about her. What a lame excuse huh?

"Just think about it Kira, MAYBE THIS TIME!" joked Granny.

"Listen Kira if you feel responsible then do something..."

"I do feel responsible..." Kira said to himself as he threw another rock at the lake.

"Responsible for what?" asked a husky voice from behind. Kira stood up and turned around. He smiled as he saw two men looking up at him.

"What's up kiddo?!" asked the blonde man as he rubbed Kira's hair playfully. Kira smirked, "why aren't you at work Billy?" joked Kira as he brushed off the blond man's hand. The other man laughed humorously, "If you expect that guy to be at work then kiss my ass!" exclaimed the other man.

Billy enraged as he heard this, "Shut it Greg... you owe your wife an apology after getting drunk last night!" he blurted. Greg rolled his eyes, "Well, you can't blame me after my wife said she accidentally threw away my most favorite ship in a bottle series out of the window!" shouted Greg; it made Kira blurt out a "hoa!" in disbelief.

"Well, I guess that's a good excuse to get drunk..." spoke Kira as he tapped Greg's shoulder. "You havin a walk Kira?" asked Billy as the three of them sat on the bench. "Yeah... I'm just trying to get some fresh air that's all," Kira replied as he continued to throw rocks at the lake.

Greg noticed this and got bored, "this is boring..." he blurted then grabbed Kira and Billy's hand for a walk. "Why don't we walk around and find some girls don't we?" Greg joked as he looked at Kira. Kira stared back at him, "what the hell that does that mean?" Kira asked he was rather confused.

"Damn Kira you're the only 26 year old single male in this subdivision," exclaimed Bill.

"And you're the only 30 year old single male in this subdivision!" Greg joked, as he referred to Billy. "Shut your ass up okay?!" Billy shouted as he placed one of his arms on Kira's shoulders, "So Kira, why don't we go women hunting for today huh?"

Kira forced out a laugh, "That would waste my time..." he blurted before removing Billy's hand off of him.

Greg smirked, "Honestly telling you Billy, you can't find any single female at the age of 30 or at the age of 26," Kira suddenly flinched at Greg's idea.

"Most woman who are single at that age have children and are divorced or maybe the woman's husband died or something..." explained Greg as they passed by some big houses. Billy sighed, "Yeah, you're right. Why did I ever let Annabelle go?!" he regretted as he remembered having a very beautiful woman as a girlfriend a year ago.

"You can't blame yourself, after all, she had a lot of men in bed before," Greg spoke as he looked at the hopeless Billy sighing in grief. Billy nodded in reply, "But I had one night with her... then after that she disappeared! Do you guys know how it feels when someone special in your life just runs of without you knowing why she left?!"

Kira flinched and somehow stopped walking; Lacus appeared in his mind again. Both Billy and Greg noticed their little buddy's stop, "Kira, you all right?" Greg asked while looking at a very shocked Kira.

Kira laughed weakly, "Yeah I'm fine," Kira then walked together with them again. "So Kira... have you found your girl yet?" Billy asked. Kira shook his head, "Nah... I don't have time for that now," he replied as he remembered what Granny just said to him.

"Just think about it Kira, MAYBE THIS TIME!" joked Granny.

"Did Granny give you some advises?" Albert joked as he heard Kira trying to stop a laugh. "Yeah... a few advises," Kira exclaimed as he brought out his laugh.

"What is it with marriage anyway?" Kira asked as he placed both his hands inside his pocket. Greg smiled, "Well, it's mostly about the children," he replied. Kira now tried to picture having a child of his own,

"I told you that I don't want anyone to replace my father even if he is dead!" exclaimed Daniel which brought Kira to a great shock.

Maybe it was not a good thing.

"I won't go for children Greg... it gives me the creeps!" exclaimed Kira as Daniel was the one who popped out of his mind!

Both Greg and Billy looked at him with confusion, "But you're good with kids Kira!" said Billy. Greg nodded his head, "you're good with my kids!"

Kira smiled, "yeah... I'm good with kids- with our neighbor's kids! But there is one child that really hates me..." Billy forced out a laugh, "And whose child is that?"

Kira didn't answer but just continued to walk.

"Hey... looks like someone just moved in!" Billy said as he pointed to a maroon colored mansion which was surrounded by their other neighbors. "Looks like another family to me!" Greg said as he saw his wife greet the new neighbor. Kira, on the other hand, was just looking at the people who gave their welcomes to the newcomer.

"Well, my wife Melissa sure has a warm welcome!" Greg exclaimed as he observed his wife carrying a bowl of food.

"Who d'you think owns that house now?" asked Greg.

"It sure is big isn't it?"

"Maybe they have over 5 kids in that place!"

Kira wasn't surprised at all. Everyday they are people that move here to this place; especially those people who have big incomes in life and a big family. Kira was about to walk away from the two adults when Greg suddenly grabbed Kira's blue shirt and they walked.

"Hey... wait... where are we going Greg?" asked a very confused Kira. "C'mon Kira... maybe the owner has a 20 year old daughter in store for you!" cheered Greg as they walked closer to the house. "Greg I told you that..." he was cut off when Billy covered his mouth and dragged him to the house.

"Melissa, what's happening here?" Greg called as he gave his wife a soft and quick kiss. "Someone just moved here..." she replied.

Kira stood behind them, crossing his arms; he wasn't really interested. "Is it a family?" Billy asked out of curiosity. Melissa shook her head, "Nah... It's just a young widow and her son..."

Kira's eyes widened when he heard her reply. He felt his heart skip and beat faster than it ever did, 'this feeling...' he thought. He felt the urge to see who this widow is. He made his way to the house but the crowd was thick, 'gees, my neighbors like surprises...'

He made his way out of the crowd and a sweet voice greeted him.

"Oh my, thank you neighbors..." spoke a very sweet and gentle voice which Kira recognized so much. His heart stopped beating for the first time as he saw her- "Lacus?"

The woman gasped slightly as she realized that someone had just called her by her old name. When she looked at the person who called her this name her eyes were caught by violet ones in a gaze like no other.

Kira felt like all the other people around were gone and that only the two of them were there- staring at each other. He heard his heart beat once again but in a slow pace; he never felt like this before- no.

"Kira..." the woman whispered then they returned once again to reality. Both Billy and Greg were astounded when they saw Kira and the woman stare at eachother, 'what in the world is happening?' Billy thought as he observed the both of them.

"Why it's you Kira!" exclaimed an old voice. Suddenly, a man Kira knew embraced him, "Mr- Mr. Waltfelt?!" Kira said in a sudden shock.

'What are they doing here?' Kira thought. Andy broke away from the embrace and then smiled at Kira. All the other neighbors were invited in fro the party which lacus and the others did not plan to have.

All the others were inside Lacus' new home; the children, the adults and all the other neighbors. It was only Kira, Lacus and Andy outside. "Why don't you come in for the party Kira? The neighbors here are very warm you know... I hope you are too," Andy joked as he went inside the house to entertain the many guests. Lacus just stood there looking at the handsome man in front of him.

"Kira you jerk get in here!" shouted a voice from behind Lacus. She turned around and saw a blonde man. "Sorry Mrs. Sanders, by the way..." he pulled Kira closer to where Lacus was, "this is Kira, Kira Yamato. He's the only 26 year old single male around here!" he joked. Lacus giggle and looked at Kira who blushed madly!

"Darn it Billy don't say that!" angered Kira as he looked at Lacus; he was blushing so madly. "Well, I wonder why girls don't follow you. You are, after all, a very handsome man Mr. Yamato," she spoke, pretending that she did not know him. Kira smiled when he noticed her gesture.

"Well, Mrs. Sanders, I am, by the way, Billy Kerk. My house is just a few blocks away. Kira right here is my neighbor!" Billy exclaimed. Lacus smiled sweetly at him, "That's great. Thought it would take a while for me to know everyone of you here," she replied softly, her voice as gentle as ever.

"Well, I gotta go now... beer is on its way!" Billy blurted as he left Kira and Lacus alone.

Now they were just standing there, in front of the door- staring at eachother. A small smiled escaped his lips, "So... welcome to this place... Lacus..." he whispered as he saw her smile back at him sweetly.

"That's so nice of you Mr. Kira," she playfully said. "Please... just call me Kira,"

'She's happy right now... I guess it's because she needed to. She doesn't want her neighbors to think that she was this weeping widow who lost her husband,' Kira thought as Lacus grabbed his hand and led him to the living room.

Here Kira saw Daniel play with Greg's kids who happen to be here as well. Kira's other neighbors were here too. Some called his attention while others passed by him saying their simple "hi how are you?" and "hey you're here" lines. He also noticed the swimming pool behind their house. It was as big as Kira's swimming pool back at his own home.

He often asked himself why his neighbors are like this. They were always warm hearted and they always ask for a party whenever there are new comers!

"My, my Kira; are your neighbors really this lively?" Lacus asked as she observed how Andy easily gave out a party and is now distributing some beers. "Yeah, when I newly moved here 4 years ago they asked me to throw a party the first day I arrived... and I did!" replied Kira as he noticed the way Lacus held his hand very tightly. She then led him up the balcony.

"Well Kira... I guess we're neighbors now aren't we?" she told him and the funny thing was that Kira blushed when she said this. It felt like a good thing to her then a thought escaped Kira's mind.

"Daniel just can't get over his father's death. It will soon pass out... I promise you that," Kira assured

"I won't leave... I can't leave you like this," he whispered so softly that it grabbed her heartstrings.

"Yeah... finally I can make it up to you!" Kira did not just say that! He blushed even more as Lacus was a bit shocked at what he just said.

"Ah...erm... what I mean is that finally we can spend more time together!" Kira blushed even more, 'not what I had in mind...' he thought as she giggled. "I'm sure Daniel would like to spend a lot of time with you..." she commented. Kira slightly frowned when she mentioned her son's name, "I don't think that's an option for Daniel," Kira sadly said as they walked along the balcony.

Lacus somehow agreed inside. Kira was right, if only she knew how to save Daniel then she would, "You'd keep your promise to me right Kira?" she asked. Kira looked at her then he remembered his promise- he promised that he'll help her return Daniel back to normal.

"Ah... of course..." he replied as he noticed the sad look on her faint expression. "It's a good thing there are a lot of kids here, at least he could play with some of them," she weakly whispered as a faint smile escaped her soft lips. She watched her son from above and smiled. He was playing with some kids as they ran across the garden.

"It's a good thing... you know... we've seen eachother again. I thought I'd never see you again after that encounter a week ago," Kira managed to blurt out as Lacus smiled at him. He wasn't sure if it was a fake smile just to tell him it's okay but something was wrong with her smile.

"Why don't we go and join the party? Dad has prepared a lot of things fro the new neighbors..." she said as she gently grabbed his hand again. He felt her fingers cold but subtle in expression. "Wait... I need to call..." he was cut off when Daniel suddenly appeared in front of them!

"Lynette why are you here?" the little boy asked. His voice was at first soft but when he saw Kira holding Lacus' hand even if it was vice versa his eyes bulged in anger. Kira knew that trouble was coming but instead he grasped her hand tightly.

"Hi... Daniel...how are you?" he chocked as he saw Daniel's expression changing. Daniel crossed his arms and snorted, "What is that guy doing here again?" the boy asked rudely as he pulled Kira's hand away from his mother.

"Lynette, what is that jerk doing here?" the child asked intently. Kira moved back a little to give them some space... not until Daniel looked at him. "Da- Daniel...I... well... I'm your neighbor!" Kira managed to say as Daniel raised his brow.

"Daniel, be nice. He is, after all, the guy who saved your life," Lacus told her son as he tapped his head playfully. Daniel snorted as he turned his back towards Kira and Lacus, "Well, he only did it once and I never asked him too!" he exclaimed imprudently that it broke Kira's heart.

Lacus turned to Kira as he avoided her gaze, "Kira..." she whispered worriedly as she saw him clench his fist.

"Daniel... you shouldn't talk like that to..." she was cut off when Daniel gave her a stern look, "stop defending him Lynette because he's not worth it!" he shouted then strode of. Kira felt so stupid inside, he didn't know ho to punch. Was it Daniel or was it himself that he wanted to beat up. What in the world did he do to the brat anyway?

Lacus looked at Kira as he sadly turned away. Unable to take it anymore, he too, strode of. As he passed by her, she sensed an aura she never felt before and it made her grab his wrist. He stopped as he couldn't hold back the pain, "he didn't have to insult me like that, Lacus..." he whispered; his voice was horse and sad. Lacus tightened her grasp, telling him not to go yet, "Please... don't go yet Kira," she pleaded.

He felt her icy fingers again as it held tightly to his hand; telling him not to go. He breathed deeply and then turned to face her with a faint smile on his face. She, too, smiled back at him.

"I'm sorry if Daniel..." she started but then she saw Kira turn away again, "I'm sorry, he didn't mean to hurt you Kira," she continued as she felt him tremble again. He sighed heavily then looked at her again, "I better go now, I think I'll just spoil Daniel's fun here," he blurted then ran of. She gasped and tried to stop him again but he brushed of her hand in time.

She left him again- broken.

When Kira was almost at the door, he saw Daniel standing there; his arms crossed as if waiting or Kira to go outside. Daniel again gave him that frustrated look on his face and Kira just avoided it. He quickly went outside the door as Daniel shut it close!

Andy noticed this and sighed heavily, "Daniel..."

Kira placed his hands on his pockets as he angrily walked away- but slowly. Lacus observed him as he went away. She wanted to stop him but she had no right over him. Kira sighed heavily then turned around as she saw her. He gave her one sad look and went his way back to his own home.

"Kira..." she whispered sadly as she felt her eyes go watery.

"What is it with you? You're acting like you like him?" spoke a rudely voice of a child. Lacus turned around and saw her son with his arms crossed, "you didn't have to insult him like that Daniel?!" scolded Lacus who felt so angry with herself.

"I wouldn't have insulted him... if he didn't touch you!" Daniel coldly exclaimed. Lacus flinched, "Daniel he's my friend and you know that very well!" Daniel groaned in frustration, "You always say that and you know for sure that I hate it!" Lacus gasped in shock, since when did the kid know about adult situations anyway?

"Daniel, I never tried to replace your father..."

"Of course you did! You tried it once and so I hated you for that! Now this Kira guy comes in and I'm starting to hate you again!" Lacus couldn't believe what she's hearing right now. "Daniel stop it... you're acting like..." she was cut off

"You stop it! I don't want a father anymore okay? I don't want anyone to replace my father and that's that! If I ever see you date one guy then I'll surely kill myself if that happens!" Daniel scolded as he saw her mother begin to cry.

"Daniel... what's happening to you?"

"It's all because you kissed Uncle Albert!"

"I never kissed him!"

"Oh yes you did and the maids told me so!" Daniel cast her a devilish look.

"Daniel I told you, what's between me and your Uncle Albert is over!" cried lacus as she pulled her son to an embrace. Daniel couldn't help himself but cry, "Then why... why are trying too replace my father...?" the boy teary asked.

"I promise I will never do that... I promise..."

Kira, meanwhile, was sitting again on the bench, watching the lake as he recalled what had happened moments ago. He could still feel Lacus' icy touch and he could still hear her plead for him not to go. He felt so stupid, "why did I let a child break me off?" he asked himself as he clenched his hair.

"Stop defending him Lynette because he's not worth it!" he shouted then strode of.

Kira clenched his fists; he had to decide it now if he wants to help Lacus get her son back! 'If it means that I'll play nice with the boy then I'll do it!'
