Chapter 3:

"That's nonesense Lyra! Of course you're coming back!" I yelled to myself mentally.

All of a sudden a beam of bright light exploded right in front of my gundam. I then came back to reality. Next, thing I knew Shinn came on my screen.

"What in God's name do you think you're doing!" he yelled. "You're a weak imbecile! If you keep sitting there like that, then the only use you will ever be on this team is for target practice! By all means stay if you want to die! I do not tolerate weaklings on my team!"

After he said that rage built up in me. I could feel my body tighten. My once soft, blue eyes that were once soft blue and green became cold. I looked at Shinn through the screen; the only thing I could do. He got the messaged through my eyes and backed off.

We then surrounded the ship. Before we know it, the ship fired missiles in all directions. Dodging the missiles was a necessity. It was something we had to do so we wouldn't perish to an enemy we didn't even know. Our only problem – no way to escape. Beams were being shot in all directions; this made it hard for even a coordinator to dodge them. Finally, Shinn told us it was time.

I then used the fast speed of the Aslan to move up into the clouds. While Sora used his Righteous to go under water. Shinn and Lunamaria shot up after me. We all then watched the ship. It stayed still…as if time had stopped. It then turned moved its direction to the Menerva.

As it did this we moved to our positions. Shinn came on the speaker.

"Three, two, one…NOW!" he yelled.

I went down to the back of the engine and drew out my Aslans' sword. I swung it across the engine. Out of nowhere Sora came up and sliced it down the middle. Lunamaria was just about done scanning the enemy's ship when a fire beam hit her. I flew over there and cut their weapons off. Just as I did that the holder to that ship opened and out came a gundam. We all froze. Not knowing what to do, I turned on the communication screen and started to try contacting the unknown gundam.

"Hello this Lyra Tokisaka of Zaft military forces. Please land your gundam and surrender." I waited for a couple of seconds before I said anything else. "I repeat land your gundam and surrender or we will shot."

This time I got a response just not the one I wanted to get. The gundam took out its gun and aimed it at me. I was not going to take that as an answer.

"I warned you!"

I then flew high in the air and took out Aslan's gun. I used the speed of the Aslan and got down to the gundam before it could move. I shot the gun out of its hand. I quickly put mine away and took out my sword and put it up to the gundams neck. It froze as if it had turned off. I pulled the sword more towards its neck. It still didn't respond. I took a step back and cut it right above the cockpit. Shinn and Sora then came and picked up the gundam and brought it back to the Menerva.

By the time I had landed in the holder, we had guards all around the gundam. I got out of my cockpit quickly. When I reached the gundam, the cockpit opened. We stood there waiting for someone or something to come out. I looked up at the gundam. A body wearing a full gundam uniform and helmet came out. I watched it as it placed it foot on the stirrup. The stirrup was connected to the wire that lowered him to the floor of the holder. Everyone put up their guns. I stepped forward in front of everyone and looked at him. Now that I could get a good look at the figure I could tell it was a man. The man that lay before me was about six-three in height and was well trained determined by the muscles on him. He was no joke at all. The question was 'why he didn't put a good enough fight out there.' What I did was nothing. He didn't even try to get away.

When neither of us did nothing, I looked straight at him and took a deep breath before saying "Take off your helmet and put it down all your weapons that you might have on your person" I said in a firm voice. He looked at me and just stood there. "Do not make me repeat myself!" With that statement all the guns behind me clicked ready to shoot. He then looked up and slowly reached to take off his helmet. Once he lifted it off his long, blonde bangs, fell down to his eyebrows.

His cold, blues eyes met mine. He bent down slowly and put his helmet on the floor. He stood back up even slower than when he went down. Looking and taking in my whole appearance. I could hear Sora in the back cursing him for looking at me. I couldn't help but smile.

"Well I'm guessing you are not the Captain, 'cause you are too HOT to be one" he said with a smile. I smiled a little bit; Sora cursing was getting louder because it was clear he was hitting on me.

"What is your name?" I asked still with a smile on my face.

"Kenehi Toshiro."

"Well Mr. Toshiro, I…"

"You can call me Kenechi, Ms…"

"Ms. Tokisaka. Who are you working for?"

"Must we say everything out in the open like this? How about dinner? I'm starving." Before I could have responded, Sora had him by the throat on the ground.

"Stay away from my fiancé you in conniving PIG! You so even look at her I will make sure…"

"Sora get off of him!" yelled Shinn as he started tearing him off. A smile of amusement went all across his face.

"Your fiancé?! That's an understatement. She would leave you for the first chance she got. I can see it in her eyes."

"Shinn stood there holding Sora back. Sora on the other hand didn't care or noticed that he was not only making a fool of himself, of me, the ship, and his father.

"Look here you PIG! You will stay away from her and if I catch you near her or even looking at her you won't want to be around anymore. Do I make myself clear?"

"Oh perfectly. But, I must say the only "pig" in this room is you. For I am not the one holding freedom. Nor am I the one forcing her to marry me for my own selfish deeds."

"What did you say?!"

"Oh please stop being a child."

"I will love my wife with more than anything!"

"Um fiancé…we aren't married yet" I stated in a low voice.

"I don't think you do see…when yall were fighting me, or the ship I should say and fire beams were heading straight for her I would think that the person that loves her the most would give in front of the beams without hesitation. But the one I saw do that wasn't you, it was him." He pointed straight to Shinn. Shinn not knowing what to say or how to react stood there quietly and motionless. Sora then took this chance, full of rage and anger beyond anything seen, or so I believe, broke out of Shinn's grasp. His eyes had turned so cold and dark I believed that if he were to look at anything for too long it would catch fire.

He then began to make his way towards Kenechi. Fear rose up in me, as I look at him. The shame and hurt he felt from Kenechi's truthful words stung him deeper than anyone I knew could reach. He grabbed his gun as he walked towards him and aimed it right at him. I knew from the voice inside me, my reaction to this moment was unspeakable and that I would be ashamed of myself greatly. But, I did anyways. I put my gun away and ran up behind Sora and wrapped my arms around him.

"Please don't! Please Sora don't do this!" I started to cry. "I know he has gotten you mad and upset. But, this is not the answer! I could never marry someone who would do this to another man for something like this! Please, I am begging you…don't. Don't do this to yourself, to me, to your father, and to this ship! Don't!"

He looked at me and then at Kenechi. He put his gun away and slid his arm around my waist. He pulled me closer to him. He then glared at Kenechi.

"Go near my finance again I swear you will regret it. And that time she won't be there to stop me." Kenechi looked backed at him and smiled.

"That may be hard to do because she is so *amn sexy and I have just met her."

He started to charge at him again and I pulled him back. I looked into his deep blue eyes and started to beg. I allowed him to see my fear, my pleading, and crying out side. I showed him with my eyes and he took it. He pulled me closer to him than I ever wanted to be and we turned and walked out. Lunamaria got Shinn out of his stage of shock and they arrested Kenechi.

I was walking with Sora in silence all the way to his room. I started holding his hand to make my fear of him turning around and running back to kill Kenechi go away. I was deep in thought trying to come up with a way to make sure they never met again. I knew the Captain was going to hear about this, and lord knows what is going to happen when she hears about it.

"Lyra? Lyra? Lyra?!"

"Huh? What's?" I replied as I was brought back to reality from Sora screaming my name.

"Are you ok? I mean I was talking to us and you never responed."

"Oh, sorry Sora…I was just thinking."

"Like I couldn't tell that already Lyr."

"Haha, very funny Sora and to answer your question yes I'm fine."

"Ok, just checking. You know Lyra…um…this is the first time you held my hand since your dad announced our engagement." I froze not knowing what to do.

"Um…yeah…here's your room."

"How about you come on in?" he asked, he pushed me in as he opened his bedroom door.

"Sora stop! No I'm not doing this. This isn't right! I was just walking you to the room! That's it nothing else! Now let me leave!"

"Sorry I can't do that Lyr. I finally have you and I'm not going to let you go now. Not ever." As he said this he pushed me down on the bed and got on top of me.

"NO SORA DON'T!" I screamed. Just as he was about to start kissing me when the door slid opened. He stopped and looked towards the door. My eyes were flooding with tears, I couldn't see a thing. All I saw was a figure.

"Get off of her! Now!" the figure spoke. Sora got off of me and walked towards the figure. Next thing I knew I heard punches and slaps. The last thing I heard from the fight was a huge bang. Strong arms lifted off the bed and started carrying me. We reached my room and my eyes had finally cleared up. I looked and saw Shinn standing right over my bed after laying me down in it.

"Are you ok?" he asked in a concerned and worried voice. I nodded in response. He smiled. "Good." I sat up and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Thank you, thank you" I whispered in his ear. He wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer to him. But I didn't care. After about five minutes of staying that way. We moved apart and looked at each other. I leaned forward and kissed him gently on the lips. He then started making the kiss passionate and that is when we both pulled away.

"We shouldn't have done that…" I stated, trying to hide the blush that had started to form on my cheeks.

"No we shouldn't have…" He then looked at me seriously. "But, I'm glad we did. Good night Lyra." With that he walked out the room.

"Good night" I whispered as the door closed behind him. I laid down in my bed think of what just happened. Allowing the thoughts slowly put me into a deep peaceful sleep.
