4seasons: sorry but I will try and make the plot a bit slower, its just I want to write something with a fast pace, but I guess it's a little too fast. I'll try to slow it down. I hope you review for this chapter and tell me how it is. Thanks for your review.
Anonymous: sorry, I know I have bad grammar but I don't really edit because I don't have much time. And yes I know I rush the scenes just like the previous reviewer said. I'm sorry I didn't realize it, but I will try and slow it down a bit. Thanks for your review.

Warning: This chapter is a tiny bit gory, I'm sorry if anyone is offended.
From Chapter 5
Fumbling with her locker combination and thinking 'damn you why can't we just have those laser locks where all you have to do is press a button?' Cagalli finally got her locker to open, only to be shocked that an envelope covered in dry blood fell down on the floor. Cagalli gasped, she was not a person to faint at the sight of blood but she was disgusted.
'Oh no' Cagalli thought, 'It can't be… 'Denying Love
Chapter 6
At school (Normal POV)
The envelope was battered and covered in blood… the blood of someone she cared dearly for,
Her brother.
'No. NO! he wouldn't DARE do that to him… would he?' Cagalli questioned herself.
"Yes, yes he would" she said out loud.
"Who would what?" asked Dearka.
"Huh? Wha? Oh n-nothing." Cagalli stammered picking up the envelope and putting behind her. Yzak eyed her suspiciously.
"Heh. Girls." Dearka scoffed and left along with Yzak.
'That was close' Cagalli thought. Gingerly she opened the letter.
Dear my lovely Cagalli,
Wondering who this is? You MUST know. And you MUST know whose blood it was. I was thinking of using your own blood but I find that it suits better being painted on the walls of your room. So I decided for second best, your brothers. You and I both know that you haven't seen him but you do know that I have him. One snap of a finger and he dies. I suggest you do as I say or I just might have to snap that finger of mine. I DO NOT wish for you see that Athrun Zala again. I have someone else for you. He is perfect, just like me and you WILL listen to me. Unless you want more letters with your brother's blood and I'm sure he doesn't have that much more to loose. So do as I say. Your choice.
Love,
KAI
xoxo
Saying she was shocked would be the understatement of the year. Cagalli felt like she couldn't breathe and that her eyes were going to pop out. She felt like she was going to barf. Trembling, Cagalli managed to throw out the envelope and stuck the horrifying letter in her pocket. As calmly as she could she walked out of the school. Walking blindly along the street all she could think about was the letter and it's meaning. Walking into people and objects Cagalli managed to get a few cuts and bruises, but she couldn't feel them, she couldn't feel anything, only fear. The fear of knowing that her brother was in danger just for her happiness. The fear of knowing very well that Kai would do exactly what he mentioned, but most of all, the fear of knowing that she had to leave him, she had to leave.
'Why does life have do be this way? Why brother, why can't you be by my side?' Cagalli thought, a tear slipping down her cheek.
Cagalli stopped in front of Athrun's apartment building. She stared up at the building.
'This is it.' She thought sadly.
Marching up the stairs for memories she finally got to her floor, slowly she opened it and took in a deep breath, 'last time I'll ever see this place.' Cagalli thought, 'last time…'
Kira and Lacus (Normal POV)
Blinded Lacus ran and ran, her legs ached in pain but her heart to keep going.
'I was so blinded to see that he was taken.' She thought sadly.
"LACUS! WAIT UP!" Kira yelled catching up to her.
'Kira?' Lacus thought, 'Why is he here?'
Catching up to Lacus Kira stretched out his arm and pulled Lacus into an embrace. Too shocked to do anything, Lacus just stood there, tears flowing freely down her face.
"Lacus, are you alright?" asked a very concerned Kira, "Please don't listen to anything Flay says, she's just lying."
Lacus sniffled.
Kira hugged Lacus even tighter.
'Why is Kira being so nice?' Lacus thought, 'Shouldn't he be with Flay?'
Reluctantly Lacus pulled away from the embrace.
"Kira what are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be with Flay? I would hate to see your relationship break because of me." Lacus said.
"Huh? Me relationship Flay? Huh?" Kira asked, clearly confused.
"Don't play games with me Kira, you know what I'm talking about. I'm sorry I have to go." Lacus said quickly walking away.
"Hey Lacus wait! What do you mean me and Flay?" Kira asked catching up to her again.
"You know, Flay your girlfriend." Lacus replied, looking down to the floor at the statement.
"WHAT? Flay isn't my girlfriend, and I DEFINITELY don't want her to be. I've saved that slot for a special girl." Kira stated sheepishly.
"Oh…" Lacus replied clearly disappointed that Kira has some one that he likes.
Noticing her disappointment Kira bravely took a breath and said, "And that slot is saved for you." Immediately blushing after.
Lacus blushed as red as a tomato, smiling though.
"…" Lacus was at a loss of words.
Taking her silence as a rejection Kira said, "It's alright I understand-"
He was cut off by a hug. A smiling Lacus was the cause.
"Lacus…" he stuttered before giving in and hugging her back.
Athrun's apartment (Normal POV)
Cagalli walked into her room and started belongings out and putting them into her duffel bag, tears running down her cheeks as she did this.
'Goodbye Athrun.' She thought.
When the last of her belongings were stuffed into her bag she found a pen and writing pad and wrote a final note her Athrun. Slowly she walked out of the apartment door, trying to remember how his apartment looked.
'I'll never forget you. I promise'
And with that she left.
At school (Normal POV)As Athrun sat in class he couldn't help but feel that something was wrong. Fidgeting and fighting against his conscience he finally gave in.
"Miss, may I go to the bathroom?" Athrun asked politely.
"Yes, but make it quick." She replied.
Quickly Athrun got out of his chair and went to the hallway. He followed where his feet lead him, to Cagalli's locker. Athrun looked at the locker, it seemed normal, but then why would he go here?
'Cagalli.' He thought.
Quickly he went to the office.
"Excuse me, but could you please call Cagalli to the office?" Athrun asked politely, inside he was anxious.
"Yes hold on a moment." The secretary replied.
On the announcement system you could hear 'Cagalli please report to the office, Cagalli to the office.' After five minutes of waiting, Cagalli still did not arrive at the office and that made Athrun even more nervous.
'Where is she?' he thought.
Different scenes of horror played through his mind about what happened to her. He shook his head.
'Great timing for imagination.' He thought sarcastically.
"I'm sorry Athrun, I don't think she's here today." Said the secretary snapping him out of his trance.
"Oh Ok, thanks." He replied.
Quickly, Athrun got in his car and drove to the first place he thought she would be, his apartment.
As soon as he got there, he got out, threw the key at the valet (a/n: I don't know if apartments do have them but in this story it does, just to make him seem richer in comparison) gave him money, ignored his question about change.
Getting into the elevator, he waited, swore at the elevator and finally got out. Immediately he opened the door and almost sighed at the sight. Nothing was misplaced. Then he saw a note lying on the table.
'Must be Cagalli and her notes' he grinned.
Swiftly he picked up the piece of paper, but it was not what he expected. He thought it would be something like 'Ha! Made you worry!' or 'Dinner tonight?', what he read was:
Dear Athrun,
I am truly sorry for disturbing you at your house for all this time, I am truly grateful that you let me stay. I hope I did not bother you all that much. I promise I will pay you back for the broken window once I have the money. I will remember your smiles, your laughs and your actions, but I hope you don't remember mine. I will never forget all the embarrassing moments we shared, but I hope you do. I will never forget how I yell at you, but I hope you do. I will never forget the comforting words you've ever said, but I hope you do. I will never forget how you protected me, but I hope you do. I will always remember you Athrun, but I hope you don't. I am writing you this note to say Good-Bye. I know this is an easy way out to say Good-Bye, but I'm afraid that if I do see you I could never say it. I'm sorry. I cannot say the reason of my departure but I hope you will understand, you are not at fault for my departure. We are of different worlds, you have everything, and I have nothing. We cannot be together, our worlds cannot meet. Try and forget me. Please do not come after me, you are endangering yourself and others if you do so. Good-Bye Athrun, do take care.
Love,
Cagalli
xoxo
Athrun just flopped down on his couch, he could not believe it, she just left, LEFT! She left... without say anything, not even a Good-Bye. Athrun could feel his heart tearing up. This couldn't be happening, just when he starts opening up to her, she CANNOT leave like this. He really did care for her, but she left him without a reason. That was unacceptable.
'I will find her, and she WILL give me a reason.' Athrun thought stubbornly, unknowing to him that doing so would put him and Cagalli in great danger.
Cagalli's house (Normal POV)
'Finally' She thought as Cagalli walked towards the door of her house. Slowly she turned the knob.
"There you are, I've been so worried!" said the idiot (a/n: LOL its Kai!)
"Yes I'm here." She replied in monotone.
"Good." He said as he walked up to Cagalli squeezing her arms with his hands with had thumbtacks stuck to the palms of his hands, she winced in pain not giving him the satisfaction of hurting her. When he released her there were little holes in her arms with blood slowly spilling out.
'Damn you' Cagalli thought evilly.
"Now, I would like to introduce you to your special someone, come out!" he yelled.
Out of the shadows came a figure, stepping into the light you could make out a smirk. The man's name?
Yuuna Roma Seiran.
Cagalli gasped in horror.
"No…" she said out loud.
"On the contraire my love…" Yuuna said slyly stepping forth.
"Excellent, seems like you two know each other, now my job is done, please do get acquainted." Kai said walking up to Yuuna like he was waiting for something.
"O yes, I remember. Here take it." Yuuna said coolly giving him a stack of money.
"Thanks, now I will be off. Please call me if you need assistance." Kai replied slightly bowing to Yuuna then walking away.
Yuuna slowly approached Cagalli while she backed up until she was against the wall.
"Hello, I told you I would have you in the end, didn't I? Now you and that stupid Zala will pay. Hmm, wonder how I should torture him?" He spat.
"No! I'll do whatever you say, just- just don't hurt him…" she quickly said looking down at the ground.
Yuuna lifted her chin.
"Well then I'll make a deal with you. I don't hurt Zala, and you will obey me, seem fair?" he asked.
'I have to… I-I just I can't let him hurt Athrun, he has nothing to do with this' she thought sadly.
"I-I, fine." Cagalli spat.
"Excellent." He replied as he kissed her lips. Cagalli's tears slipped down her face.
'This is going perfectly as planned, I will get her fortune and her body while I can also eliminate that Zala.' Yuuna thought with a smirk.
'Good-Bye Athrun, forever.' Cagalli thought sadly and let more tears fall.
