"Coincidence?" Kira muttered before sitting down on the bench. "Well, I wouldn't say that." Kira smiled at her.

His smile struck Cagalli, because she felt like seeing that smile before. She could sense the gentleness inside of him just by gazing at his smile. Somehow, it made her feel comfortable and relaxed, but she didn't know why. Well, it was no use thinking about that matter because she was very hungry. So, she continued eating her lunch silently.

"That looks delicious," Kira said as he leaned forward to look at the food.

"Wanna eat? I have an extra lunchbox here." Cagalli picked up the other lunchbox and opened it. "Here you go," she said, handing it to Kira.

At first, Kira hesitated because he felt a little shy taking her lunchbox, but he ended up eating the food in it. Once done, he leaned back on the bench and sighed in relief. "That was delicious!"

"I'm glad you liked it, Yamato," Cagalli replied, looking happy.

"Just call me Kira, okay?"

"Okay, then you can call me Cagalli." She extended her hand to shake hands with him. "Since you're Athrun's friend, you're my friend as well." She smiled.

Kira looked at her hand momentarily before he looked up at Cagalli. "I'm happy to hear that, Cagalli." He shook hands with Cagalli and smiled back.

After lunch, Kira and Cagalli decided to take a walk around the school yard. During their walk, Cagalli started talking about her best friend, Shinn. Of course, Cagalli mentioned some embarrassing things about Shinn, but she didn't really mean them. Though Kira didn't know Shinn, he could say that he was a great guy from the way Cagalli was talking about him. He could also sense that Shinn was the most important person to Cagalli.

"Do you love Shinn, Cagalli?" Kira asked her all of the sudden, which gave her quite a shock.

"What did you just say?!" Cagalli retorted.

"It's just a simple yes or no question. Do you love him or not?"

She shook her head rapidly. "No, I don't! I only like him as a friend."

"Are you sure about that?" Kira smiled mischievously, giving her a strange feeling.

"Shinn is my best friend. He's like a brother to me."

"I was just checking," Kira said with a giggle.

Cagalli blushed and stayed silent after that. She thought about what Kira said, and she realized that she had never given notice about that matter before. Since she was a little kid she had always been together with Shinn. Even though Shinn was a god, he was still her childhood friend—the friend who had always helped her during her sad times and the friend who had always stayed by her side.

Shinn is only friend to me.

"Um... Cagalli, are you all right?" Kira asked. "You've became quiet. Did I upset you?"

Cagalli looked up at him and smiled. "No, it's nothing," she lied. "Well... Ah... How about you, Kira? Do you have a girlfriend?"

"I don't have one," answered Kira.

"That's hard to believe."

"Why is that?"

"Because you're one cute guy!" Cagalli exclaimed, looking cheerful. "There's no way for girls to resist you." She winked an eye at him.

"Well, the girls in my class like following me around. They are such a bother sometimes."

"Girls that like following you around have nothing better to do. They're just a bunch of annoying fan girls. Athrun has fan girls too."

"Like Meer Campbell I presume..."

"I can see that Athrun has told you a lot."

"He said that Meer has been after him for years now. She never seems to give up. I admire her determination, but..."

"Athrun can never learn to love her," Cagalli continued.

RING! RING! RING!

The school bell rang.

"Well, it's time for class." Cagalli spun on her heel and walked off. When she reached a certain distance from Kira, she raised her hand and waved. "It was really nice talking to you, Kira."

"Likewise," replied Kira.

"I'll see you later," she was saying while her head was slightly turned. She showed him a smile before she ran off.

When she was gone, Kira grimaced. He leaned his back against a tree and placed one hand on his forehead. "Freya, she reminds me of you." His eyes were filling up with tears. He lowered his head until his eyes met the ground. The tears started falling and with every drop, he remorse. "Her face... her smile... they're all the same. But she's not you. I don't sense your presence within her." He dropped to his knees and trembled. "Freya, where are you?"

"Freyr?" a familiar voice broke into his thoughts.

Kira turned his head at the person immediately. "Hel?" he muttered. Gradually, he stood up and wiped away his tears using his hand.

"Here you go," Hel said, handing a handkerchief to him.

"Thank you," Kira replied. He took it and wiped his tears. After that, he asked Hel about Loki.

"Oto-sama is fine," Hel answered. She approached the god and placed her hand on his cheek. Because of that Kira's cheeks turned red and he started feeling nervous. "Freyr, you don't look good. Are you all right? Why were you crying?" she asked him, looking worried.

"Well, I was thinking about my sister again." Kira's facial expression turned sad again. "I don't know where she is."

"If Freya didn't disappear 20,000 years ago you wouldn't be suffering this much." Hel presented one gentle smile, as her eyes were locked into his. "Freyr, I hate seeing you like this."

"I'm sorry." He hugged the goddess. He needed somebody—someone to shoulder him in his time of grief, to comfort him and to stay at his side. And Hel was the only goddess he could open up to during this time.

"Freyr," muttered Hel. She closed her eyes and hugged him back.

To be continued...

JC: I think Kira was being overdramatic here. But you can't blame the guy. He longs to see his sister again. Hel's identity is not yet revealed here. Many of you guessed that it's Fllay, Meyrin or Lunamaria, but majority is Fllay. Who is Hel? Well, her identity will be revealed in the next chapter. Please don't forget the reviews. I like reading reviews, but I hate flames.
