Chapter 7: Problems resolved

"Come in." Cagaili said without looking up from her documents.

"Cagaili, I believe you have a meeting at four this afternoon at the Orb memorial." Kisaka said as he stood by the doorway.

"It's already four o'clock now?" Cagaili shouted.

"Yes. Just go now Cagaili. I have the car ready downstairs so please hurry up; you wouldn't want to keep him waiting. I will take over you for the time being."

"Thanks a lot!" Cagaili shouted before rushing out of the room.

Athrun stood at the memorial thinking about everything that he had gone through with Cagaili while waiting for her.

'It's been almost half and hour and she's still not here. Maybe she isn't coming after all...' Athrun thought.

"Athrun!"

Athrun turned around and saw Cagaili running towards him.

"Ca...Cagaili?"

"Athrun I am sorry for been late I am too busy just now that's why I am late..." Cagaili apologized when she was standing in front of him.

"It's okay I understand..." Athrun replied. 'She is the representative of Orb, she have a lot of work to do so it's okay for her to be late I guess...'

Both of then remain silent until Athrun decided to break the silence.

"So how have you been recently?"

"I am fine." Cagaili replied. 'Is this all he want to talk about?'

"Erm... the main reason for me to ask you to meet me here is because I got something to tell you..." Athrun said.

"What do you want to tell me about?"

"Well after the war I have been doing a lot of thinking...about the both of us..."

'What is he going to tell me about us? ' Cagaili thought.

"I am sorry Cagaili. I..."

'Does that mean that he had decided to Meryin? If that's the case then I will...'

Cagaili then interrupts him. "I understand Athrun."

"Huh?" Athrun was confused. 'She understand what?'

"I don't mind at all..."

'She don't mind at all? What does she mean by she don't mind?

"I hope that you will be happy with Meryin." Cagaili said as she broke off in a run.

"Cagaili wait! You don't understand!" Athrun shouted as he started running after her.

Someone suddenly grabbed Athrun from behind and a familiar voice was heard.

"Just leave her alone for a while. Lacus will talk some sense into her."

Athrun turned around only to see a pair of amethyst looking at him.

"Ki...Kira? What are you doing here?"

Cagaili kept running until she was out of breath and she collapsed onto the floor.

'Why? Do I feel so sad? I was the one who had decided that it would be better for us to break up and I was also the one who had entrusted Athrun to Meryin. So if there is anyone to blame it would be me.' Cagaili thought as tears begin to form in her eyes. Just then a familiar voice spoke to her.

"Are you alright?"

Cagaili looked up and saw a handkerchief offered to her.

"La...Lacus?"

"Kira what are you and Lacus doing here?" Athrun asked. They were both sitting down on a bench nearby looking at the setting sun.

"We are here because I figured out that things will not turn out fine between the both of you. And it seems that I am right about it."

"Yeah, but the only thing is that she did not wait for me to finish my sentence and jump to conclusions that's why!" Athrun shouted.

"Well knowing Cagaili she can be impatient sometimes and that is why she reacted like that. You can't blame her for that. If it was me I would the same too." Kira replied.

"I know, because the both of you are twins. So it's only normal if the both of you behave the same way." Athrun joked.

"Well let's just sit here and wait for Lacus to bring Cagaili back here."

"Ok then. By the way how did you and Lacus get here without us knowing?" Athrun asked curious.

"Well it's like this..."

An hour ago...

Kira and Lacus had reached the memorial before Athrun and Cagaili did and were waiting for them to arrive.

"Kira, do you think Cagaili will come?" Lacus asked as they sat down on a bench near the memorial.

"I am sure she will, but I think she is going to be late as usual."

Lacus giggled and replied. "I am sure Athrun should know that better than anyone else since he had been her boyfriend before..."

Lacus abruptly stop talking when she notices Athrun alighting from his car.

"Kira, Athrun is here!"

Kira turned his head around and saw Athrun walking towards their direction..

"What do we do now? He is coming closer and he is bound to see us!" Lacus said frantically.

Lacus was about to ask Kira what ideas he has but she did not get the chance to speak as Kira had pressed his lips against hers in a passionate kiss.

"So the couple I saw making out on the bench was the both of you?" Athrun asked shocked.

"Well it was us because...it was the only thing I manage to think of at that moment and it also prevents you from seeing our faces." Kira said while blushing. "What's wrong?" Kira asked after he noticed the look on Athrun face.

"Well I was just surprised that's all. I didn't expect the both of you to do that in the open because the both of you are so shy."

"I know. I was a bit surprised myself too. But it's quite a good experience for me because it make me feel just like any other teenager would do with his girlfriend at our age."

"I know what you mean. I miss been a normal teenager too but the war and everything...it had force us to grow up too fast..."

"But if all this didn't happen...I would not have find out that I have a twin sister and worst, I would not have met Lacus."

"Yeah. But sometimes everything that had happened seem to be destiny."

"I know. Just like how I was force to pilot Freedom again and be a war hero a second time."

The both of they remained silent as they thought about what they had just said. Then Athrun decided to break the silence.

"Anyway, Kira do you remember how we were when we were young?"

"Of course I do. We always get into trouble thanks to you..."

"Says who? You were the one who gets us into trouble every time because of your ideas!"

"But you agree to do them willingly right? Just like the time we hack into the school's computer so that we can get the answers for the test we are having..."

"Of course I do! I banned from using the computer for a week and I was scolded by my father very badly for helping you."

"Well I made up to you by treating you ice cream the whole week! What more do you expect? It was your fault to accidentally forget to lock the door and your parents happen to come in."

"Fine then, just forget that I mention it. Anyway you are worst than me. Your always come begging me to let you copy my homework because you are too lazy to do it yourself."

"Well I pass all my test right? So it does not matters if I do my homework or not."

"Oh really? How about you have been a crybaby when you are young? You always come running to me if you fall down or some girls pick on you."

"Just shut up." Kira said embarrassed.

As Kira and Athrun continued to talk about their childhood and did not notice that Lacus had returned with Cagaili beside her. She sneaked behind Kira and covered his eyes with her hands.

"Guess who?"

Kira open his eyes and turn his head side ways only to find Cagaili standing next to Lacus.

"Lacus? Cagaili? When did the both of you get here anyway?"

"Well we just arrived not long ago...by the way, what are the both of you talking about?"

"Nothing much...anyway, Cagaili, Athrun had something to tell you." Kira then nudged Athrun. "Quick tell her! You wouldn't want the same thing to happen again right?"

Athrun nodded and spoke.

"Cagaili, I just want to tell you that I love you and I apologize for not tell you straight away just now..."

Athrun did not have the chance to finish his sentence as Cagaili hugged him. "I am so sorry for my behavior just now and I love you too Athrun..."

"I forgive you Cagaili..."

The both of then hug each other as Kira and Lacus watched from the side.

"So I guess our job here is complete?" Lacus asked.

"Not quite because we still have to visit my father now..."

"Well then...what do I get as a reward for helping you bring Cagaili back?" Lacus asked playfully.

"Well I am not sure myself...maybe we will think of something when we check in to our hotel..."

"Ok then, but remember you own me one." Lacus said as she pinch Kira's nose gently.

Kira nodded. "Well Athrun, I guess Lacus and will have to leave soon if the both of us are going to visit my dad..." Kira said as he and Lacus walk towards the car park hand in hand.

"Hey Kira!" Athrun shouted.

"What?" Kira replied as he turned around.

"Do you want me to give you a ride?"

"No thanks. Lacus and I had already hired a taxi and our luggage are on it already."

"Ok then. I will see you this Christmas."

"Ok bye!" Kira shouted as he wave good-bye to Cagaili and Athrun and he turned around to face Lacus.

"Let's go now shall we?" Kira asked.

"Sure."

When they were on the taxi Kira ask Lacus what had she do to make Cagaili clam down.

"Well...I will tell you some other time as it's a bit personal."

"Okay..." Kira sound unconvinced. 'What is she hiding from me?'

"Please I promise to tell you someday but now is just not the right moment. Ok?"

"Ok then."

"Dad are you home?" Kira shouted as he stood by the front door.

"Kira, I think he's not in because even after ringing the doorbell so many times there is no one answering it." Lacus said after noticing that there were no movements in the house.

"I guess you are right..."

As they turned around and headed to the taxi the door of the house opened.

"Son?"

"Dad?" Kira said before his adopted father hugged him.

"You have grown taller than before now son. How have you been?" Haruma asked when they were sited in the living room with Kira and Lacus sitting together on the sofa and Haruma on the one opposite them.

"I am fine dad. How are you?"

"I miss your mom but I have to work so can't live with you there anyway...and I suppose this lovely lady here is my daughter in law that you mom had told me about?" Haruma asked making Lacus blush.

"Well yes... No! Well not yet..." 'But will be soon, real soon...' Kira added mentally.

"Well Miss Clyne I want to thank you for talking good care of my son. I was worried that Kira will not take care of himself like how he was in the past, but now that you are taking care of him...I am rest assured that he will be taken cared of." Haruma said causing Lacus to blush again.

"Just call me Lacus will do Mr. Yamato."

"Kira you got yourself a treasure. If I were you I would do everything I can to protect her and marry her as soon as possible to prevent other people from getting a chance."

"I will if she lets me marry her." Kira replied while touching his forehead with Lacus. Lacus blushed as she replied, "Of course I would marry you because I would only allow you who will marry me and no one else." Then Lacus start to move her lips closer to Kira's and the both of they were about to kiss when Haruma interrupted them.

"Well the both of you can go to Kira's old room and take a rest and continue with whatever the both of you are doing as I am sure that the both of you are tired from the trip and I wouldn't want to see the both of you doing 'that'."

Kira and Lacus blushed as they stop their previous actions while Haruma was smirking at the sight of those two.

"Dad, Lacus and I will be staying in a hotel that mom had booked for us so we won't be staying overnight…" Kira said as they were getting ready to leave.

"Your mom had booked a hotel for the both of you? What is the name of the hotel?" Haruma asked curious

"Well it's called Starness..."

"Oh I see…"'So Caridad has made 'special' arrangements for the both of then huh?' Haruma thought. "Well it's a very good hotel that your mom and I use to go last time when we were young…so enjoy yourselves when you are there."

"We will. I will try to visit you if Lacus and I are free." Kira said he and Lacus made there way back to the taxi and head towards their hotel…

"Look Kira, we are finally here!" Lacus said as they saw a grand five star hotel in front of then.

"Wow this place is grand and it must have cost my mom a lot of money..."

Lacus nodded. "Let's check in shall we?"

"Sure." Kira replied as the both of then started to walk into the hotel but they failed to notice that everyone that were going in are only couples...
