"…" speech

'…' thoughts

From Chapter 7

"I'm sorry Athrun, I really am." She whispered.

"Shh. Don't talk, just this moment Cagalli, one moment." He replied.

Denying Love

Chapter 8

In the bathroom of the school (Normal POV)

'That filthy bastard.' Yuuna thought, 'destroying our precious time together. That no good son of a bitch!'

Quickly Yuuna washed off the stain and went back to the cafeteria.

As soon as Yuuna got into the cafeteria, Athrun and Cagalli quickly pulled away from each other. Unfortunately for them, Yuuna saw this.

"What the hell do you think you're doing to my woman Zala?" he asked furious.

Cagalli quickly tried to cover for him.

"Um Yuuna it's not what it looks like! I-I fell and he-he caught me!" she lied.

"Oh Really?" he asked although he didn't quite seem to believe it, "Are you alright?"

Purposely he went and hugged Cagalli in front of Athrun.

"You have hell to pay once we get home" he said barely audible.

Cagalli visibly paled.

'What's wrong with her?' Athrun asked himself.

After school (Normal POV)

When the bell rang, Cagalli quickly got to her locker, packed her books and went outside to wait for Yuuna.

Athrun however was following her.

'I hope she's going to be fine.' He thought.

Once Cagalli got outside she saw Yuuna's car parked at the front waiting for her. He opened the window and said, "Get in."

Reluctantly, Cagalli did as told and they drove off to his house.

Quickly Athrun got into his car and followed them.

'Perfect' Yuuna thought, 'Now I can get rid of them both.'

Turning a few quick turns, they all finally got to Yuuna's mansion.

Opening the front gates, Yuuna purposely left it opened for Athrun.

'That idiot, he's bound to come in, and when he does that will be the end of him' Yuuna thought evilly.

For some reason, Athrun didn't feel right, this was too easy, yet he still followed.

"Cagalli…" Yuuna started in a disgustingly sweet voice.

"What?" she spat.

"Now now, don't use that TONE WITH ME!" he yelled backhanding her causing her to tumble a few steps back.

Finally Athrun got inside the house only to see Yuuna slapping Cagalli.

'That bastard!' he thought, 'How dare he touch her!' but did not move for the fear of Cagalli being hurt even further.

"Don't. Touch. Me." Cagalli said, anger brewing in her eyes.

"Oh and what can you do about it? Tell on me? To who? Athrun? Your brother?" Yunna asked.

Cagalli's face paled at the mention of her brother, the one that she didn't know the face of. Yunna of course saw this and dug even deeper.

"O wait, I remember, Kai has your brother doesn't he? Well then risk the life of your brother just for the freedom of yourself, its not like Athrun will want you back anyways, you weren't meant to be, he is the light and you are the darkness, you cannot be together, I doubt he likes you anyways. He's just probably looking for a good fuck." He spat.

"No, it's not true. Athrun, he-he likes me for who I am." She replied, her voice getting softer and softer.

"Yes he does, he likes you for who you are, you ARE a good fuck. Aren't you? Hmm. I should try and tell Athrun, just incase your not. He shouldn't waste his time." He laughed.

Cagalli thought, 'This is it, but he's not going to get me without a fight'

Yunna slowly approached her with a smirk plastered on his face. Cagalli backed up into a fighting position, both fists in front of her.

"Feisty, just the way I like them" Yunna said.

"Fuck you" she spat.

"Yes, I know you will, be patient." He teased.

If possible, Athrun got even madder. He watched in horror as Yunna and Cagalli started wrestling.

"Cagalli…" he thought as he ran in.

Lacus and Kira (Lacus' house) (Kira's POV)

'Common Kira! You can do this! BE A MAN!' I thought, it has been almost a week since I told her I liked her but nothing has happened! I want her to be my girlfriend, but we haven't even gone on a date yet! GRR. I am SO dumb.

'No really' said a voice.

'Huh, who's there?' I said.

'You really are dumb' the voice echoed.

'Who is this?' I asked.

'I'm your conscience, idiot.'

'Evil voice.' I thought.

'HEY! I can hear that you know!' it yelled.

'I can do this I can do that…' I mumbled 'What do you want?' I asked.

'Hmph, you ungrateful little weasel! I'm here to help you!' It replied.

'HEY! Don't call me a weasel! … it hurts.' I whined.

'Whatever, anyways I'm here so that you can finally ask her out, so ASK HER OUT ALREADY!' it screamed.

'OKAY OKAY! Geesh…' I replied.

"Kira? Kira? Are you alright?" Lacus asked.

"Huh? Ya… Um Lacus I have a question." I said extremely nervously.

"Yes? What is it?" she replied.

"Uh… doyouwanttogooutwithme?" I jabbered. Mentally I killed myself, 'What an IDIOT!' I thought.

"Pardon Kira?" Lacus asked in her sweet voice.

"Um… Do you want to go out with me?" I repeated.

She smiled one of her lovely smiles.

"I would love to Kira!" she exclaimed.

"Okay then, I'll pick you up tomorrow at 7?" I asked, even more nervous, if possible.

"That sounds great" she smiled as she walked in her house, "See you at school tomorrow!"

I punched the air. SCORES!

'Finally!' the voice said.

'Oh shut up' I replied.

Athrun and Cagalli (Normal POV)

'Cagalli…' he thought as he ran in

"Cagalli!" he yelled as he saw Yuuna place a punch on her left cheek causing her to lose her balance and fall down on the floor, "You bastard"

Yuuna smirked, "O how nice, the puppy has come to save its owner."

"SHUT.UP" Athrun spat as he kick him in the guts causing Yuuna to kneel down clutching his stomach in pain.

As fast as the pain came, it vanished as Yuuna jumped back up, "You think you can knock me out that easily?" quickly he clapped his hands together twice and a group of armed masked men appeared. As if of reflex Athrun grabbed Cagalli closer to him and she clutched on to his shirt for dear life.

"Don't worry we can do this" he assured. Cagalli just nodded.

In a blink of an eye, Athrun managed to knock out a few of them. But as quickly as the triumph came, it totally disappeared when he heard a gun shot and a cry of pain that did not come form him. At that moment fear strangled him as he turned around and the horrific scene as Cagalli's eyes were wide open and the blood that was seeping out of her chest area. Her hair flying behind her as she started to fall forwards all he could hear was

"Athrun…"
