Chapter Five: Cursed Of Doll Part One

Know About Ghost Club, Everning.

Cagalli holding a piece of paper in her hand, on that particular paper the big bold front paper reads as, "The Culprit Set On Fire, Will It Consider Justice or Revenge"? Cagalli read on further, it stated that Mr Kura Masada 23, set the fire on last Sunday morning at the Big Toe cinema, had found guilty by juries as harm put the public in danger by his neglected act, but the judge Mrs Kurati ask him 145 community hours and every Saturday mandatory counseling for two years, since he still in danger to the public. Furthermore the judge order Mr Muruka Atno to rebuild the small shrine that he destroyed back many years before he build that Mall. The judge also said that the memories we need to remember and respect not to destroy it, just because we need more space to build that Mall. We need to understand other people feeling, it calls consideration, said Mrs Kurati to Mr Muruka Atno. After Cagalli finished reading all the paper through, she found that Mrs Kurati the judge give her punishment to Mr Kura just right even though he set on fire in the cinema at first place, but he just wants his voice to be heard. He doesn't have any choice other than put other people in danger, so that his voice can reach out to the people. He knows his act of action was wrong, what else he can do, he just nobody. People will think him crazy lunatic, no one understands that guy feel at all, does people nowadays more focus their own life other than other people better known nobody in this case. Just because Mr Kura not some tycoon guy, it does not mean that his voice is less important than those important or high class people, but Cagalli guessing the world run differently in her perspective, she sees all people equally not differently. What made us different is our morality, other than that we all same. We have two eyes, two ears, it's not like Cagalli found a single person in this very planet have three ears, maybe except alien. Cagalli just smile at her thought. If she can open every single person's mind that we don't need care who are they is, what they do for their living, but importantly we have duty on this very planet that we will give any kind of help to the people that in need. Put aside the ego or status, we all same in eye of almighty why we should see it different.

Cagalli walk to the her club side window, there she can see perfectly outdoor pool where currently Athrun is having his practice, she still can see that his fan girls still annoyed her most. She really can't understand what is so special about that blue hair guy with a pair of jade eye. He just normal people, with the name of Zala on the back. Nothing special about him at all, except he can cook nicely than she does, can swim better than she, and he is so much alike prince attitude, maybe that's the reason the girls like him. Cagalli just smile while she runs on her own though about her best friend. Then suddenly she hears a knock on her club door. She never expects anyone with a sane mind will enter her club, with excited she runs to the door and open it. She just stood there in shock, in front of her stand-in a green hair guy, with a pair of beautiful brown eye which Cagalli can't take her eye out of it. That person clears his throat in a polite manner to let Cagalli know that he still in front of her.

"Well there, I really am sorry to make you wait like an idiot. To tell the truth are you lost, boy?" Ask Cagalli while smile at him to show him that she is normal not some psycho person about ghost even she is.

"Here is when people want to know about ghost, am I right? By the way, I am not a boy. I'm in first year same as you, maybe with this baby face of mine people mistaken me as a junior high or a skip grade student which I am not." Reply the boy while chuckle.

"Well you really in the right place, please come in. I'm sorry if I am rude to you in some way, it's just that I never have anyone to come into my weird club." Said Cagalli while serve the guy green tea.

"So Mr?"

"My name is Nicol Amalfi, just call me Nicol if you don't mind, Miss Cagalli. I did my research about you if you are wondering how I know your name."Reply the boy.

"Well in that case I don't mind at all Nicol, but can you call me Cagalli? Miss to the formal, which I am not comfortable with it. So why are you here Nicol?" Ask Cagalli while looking at his face to read his expression.

Nicol at first hesitating to open his open but he know that he need to ask the girl infront og him for help.

"Well as you know we will have a week break that started tomorrow, I really need your help with my relative's chooastic problem."

"choastic problem? I'm completely lost, mind to elaborate it?"

"Do you believe in ghost?"

"Well as you can see I run this ghost club by myself, if I don't believe in it then I am completely bullshit."

"My aunt daughter is having some kind possession, I don't really know, but she told me that her appetite is off. The food that she dislikes, she eats it regularly, she says the things that do not make any sane at all, she also frequently talks to her doll that she calls Mimi. My aunt also told me that she is not cheerful she used to be, she rarely goes outside play with her close friend Natsumi. That really worries my aunt. That is why I need your help with my cousin problem. Maybe you can ride this ghost away from her?"

"Well Nicol for started I am not an exorcision. I just love to read about ghosts and I really want to understand why they still her when they should go to the light. But I can't help to ask you, is your cousin act this kind of behavior when she received this doll Mimi?"

Nicol just nodded.

"Did you know Nicol, in 20 centuries people believe that doll is the pit stop for the revenge person to stay in? They will stay in the doll until they can pay off their revenge. That is why, people in that centuries believe once their relatives dies it better burn the doll for good so that they can't stay in the doll for revenge. I believe that your cousin's doll be possessed by some range person in it. If you want to know who or what in that doll we need to look back at the history of that doll so that we can understand why they still in that doll and what they want. Usually they want simple revenge, which it is out of question to burn the doll away, since they already found prefect host."

"What do you mean prefect host?" Ask Nicol in horror.

"Well in my story earlier, who even in the doll want to pay off their debt, by doing so they need to find a perfect host to fulfil e their needs, if the person can't do it or not longer can satisfy them, the host will be dying, and the person in the doll will find another host to satisfy their needs. Since your cousin still alive, it's just a matter of time the doll will think that she is no longer can be used for their revenge, she eventually will die. I really must to know how long she has that doll?" Ask Cagalli in serious, since it is a battle between life and death of a young innocent child, which she don't want it to happen.

"… A week, I guess."

"Well Nicol, we need to act fast, if not your concern life in danger, which I can't allow it. I will try my best to help you, even I don't have high tech to begin with, but I will learn and understand what they want by myself since I really can't talk to them, but I promise you that I will try my best to save your cousin life here." Said Cagalli with determination in her voice.

"I believe you, I really hope she will be alright, she just five. She did not know what her deal with when she bought that doll, she really does not deserve it. Can we meet at Hoshino Bus Stop tomorrow at 10am. I will bring you to my aunt's house."

"I will be there at 10am, Nicol has a faith in your cousin. I believe she was trying her very best to fight it." Said Cagalli.

"I will. I need to go now and tell my aunt that you will come to her house tomorrow." Said Nicol, with that he made himself out from Cagalli club room.

Cagalli watch him retreat, she really needs to ride that person in the doll as soon as possible, and she did not know how long Nicol cousin can hold on. She let short sigh.

Outside School Gate, Everning.

Athrun who just finished his swimming practice dash to the school gate, since he did not see any sign of Cagalli near the swimming pool area, which he found odd, because even she has a bad day she will always stop by at his swimming practice. This just not so her, that is why Athrun rush to the school gate, hopefully that he will see Cagalli wait him there. To Athrun relieved he saw Cagalli who is standing at the school gate, but one thing that makes Athrun bother is that she looks sad.

Athrun walks to the school gate,"hey princess? Are you waited me that long?" Ask Athrun in a cheery voice of him, she wants his princess to put a smile on her face, or fight with him with any scars that she have, as long he knows that his princess is alright.

Cagalli just look up from her long stared at the ground, she put her fake smile on her face.," Athrun I hungry, let's eat. If you don't mind we just take our meals at my uncle club." With that Cagalli walk pass Athrun.

Athrun knows something wrong with her, he just needs to be patient to let her let it all out from her trouble. Athrun just walks behind her without a single word coming out of his mouth, he doesn't want to say anything that will upset her.

Mwu Host Club, Night.

"Well, if is not my little kitty. If you want to have your meals here, please have yourself out in the kitchen, just ask anything to our beloved Chef Iwao. He will prepare any kinds of meals you want to have." Greet Mwu to his favorite niece.

"Thank you uncle, I sure that Uncle Iwao will be delighted to have us around his kitchen."Said Cagalli while giving her uncle kiss on his left cheek.

"Mwu, you promise me that we are going to your favorite spot, now you flirted with that naïve girl. You so bad Mwu." Said very slutty woman in her almost fifties, while cluth on Mwu left arm.

"Well my dear Mina, I will never betray my love to you with this naïve girl. You the only one for me. Let's go, my dear." Reply Mwu while walk away from the spot where Cagalli and Athrun stand at. Both of them have that disgusted look on them while looking at each other.

In The Kitchen.

'Well my dear Cagalli and Mr Athrun, what can this humble chef get cook for your lovely dinner?" Ask Iwao in playful, he know Cagalli and Athrun way too long, he already considers them both as his own child.

Before Cagalli can speak up to Iwao, Athrun cut her, "well Chef Iwao, can I have honor to cook for my only princess that I know?" Ask Athrun while bow down in front of Chef Iwao.

Iwao put his index virgin on his chin, act as his thinking deeply,"Athrun what about your sister, Ami? She also your only princess that you know after Cagalli right?"

"Well as for now my sister Ami is not around, so that made Cagalli is the only princess I know right here and now."

"Sure my majestic, the kitchen all yours, just keep it between two of us that you much better handle the utensils than that princess of yours." Whisper Iwao while bent down to reach Athrun ear.

Athrun just chuckles at the man remark, but somehow his eye shift to Cagalli who is sitting not far away from him. Somehow he feels that Cagalli behavior a little bit off, usually she will go basaltic and yell at both of them, but today her act as she is deaf. Athrun went closer to her, "well my beautiful princess what in your mind to have your dinner tonight? This humble majestic is going to make you smile with full your stomach with wonderful meal."

Cagalli just looking into his eye,"whatever you want to cook I will eat it. I don't mind. I need to excuse myself.' With that Cagalli stood up from her seat and went outside the kitchen. She needs to clear her mind.

Athrun just watches her retreat in sad expression on his face, he really don't know how to make Cagalli open her open without him asking too much question. He let a long sigh, then he feels someone tap on his shoulder. He looks up and saw Iwao smile weakly toward him,"what is a problem with our princess today? Have you done anything to her?"

Athrun just shook his head softly.

"Then must be something that bother her too much that she can't stand still. You need to figure it out Athrun, if not you know what she will do herself. She will put in all in her heart, and that my dear Athrun will stress her up, which is not good for her health." Said Iwao, with that last sentence he continues to do his work.

Cagalli at the outside of her uncle club building, she sits on one of available beach. She in deep thinking about Nicol cousin. She really wants to help the kid, even so she told Nicol that she will save her, but she worries that it's too late for her to save that poor child. What if she will never know what type of people that inside that doll? What is she dying, when she tries to figure it all out? That was so much what if. She let long sigh.

"You know Cagalli, today is a full moon. Look up into the sky, see I told you it is full moon today. Did you know during full moon people believe that normal people who live in the woods will transform into wolves, because they want to protect their land and nature habitat. But we both know that not only reason why they change into wolf, they change because they had been cursed by some old lady to the people who never appreciation the nature." Said Athrun with that lovely smile on his face so that he can cheer her up.

Cagalli smile at him,"you remember the story that I told you back many years. I thought you never listen to my crap."

"Well princess, I pretend not to listen, but the truth is I'm always listening at your insane story about the things that beyond human knowledge and mind. You are gloomy on our way here. Is there something that bother you? You know you can share it with me." Said Athrun while stroking her hair back to her ear.

Cagalli look up met his wonderful jade,"what a pretty eye you have Athrun. I always love you jade eyes."

Athrun blush,"well you told me that a thousand now when you're trying to avoid the topic that I really concern the most, please I beg you tell me?"

Cagalli let a short sigh, then look up into the sky admire the full moon," well Athrun today I have a student enter my club, but he isn't joining my club instead he ask me to help his little cousin. I believe that her cousin be possessed by a doll as host to pay some old debt. If you listen to my crap you will know that…"

Before Cagalli have a chance to finish her sentence Athrun cut in,"die. I mean if the host no longer needed or their goal already achieved the host either way will die. Cagalli please don't tell me that you promised this person that you can help his cousin out?" Ask Athrun with that worry face.

Cagalli bit her lower lip, just nod her head softly.

"When will you go see this person?" Ask Athrun

"Tomorrow I supposed to meet him at the bus stop at 10am. You don't need to…"

"Hell yes Cagalli, I will come even you don't want me to."

Cagalli look at Athrun, "but what about…"

"About my family business? Who cares, I don't care better yet you told me that I still young that I need chill a bit from my corporate life. In case you forgot."

Cagalli look down on her lap,"I'm sorry I drag you into my mess, just that I can't stand when I come down to young pure, innocent life."

Athrun put his arm around Cagalli shoulder, he pulls Cagalli closer so that he can smooth her,"you did not drag me into your mess, I the one volunteered it. Don't worry Cagalli I know you capable to do what you born to be."

"Thanks Athrun."

Then Athrun hear Cagalli stomach grumble for food, he chuckled.

"Hey that's not funny, by the way I really am hungry. Have you made our dinner?" Ask Cagalli while pouting.

Athrun pitch that cute pouting of her,"I already done cooking my princess. I cooked omelet rice.'

"That sounds yummy. What we are waiting for, let's go."With that Cagalli run into the club to have something to eat.

Athrun who saw his princess action just chuckle, she really unpredictable.

The Next Morning, Hoshino Bus Stop.

Cagalli and Athrun are currently waiting for the arrival of Nicol so that they can reach his aunt's house, since both of them did not where his aunt lives.

"Athrun thanks again for coming with me."

Cagalli how many times you need to say thank you to me? I really want to come along with you, princess. It's no big deal."

Cagalli just smile at him. Then both of them heard footsteps that approach them, they both looking at the direction.

"Sorry if I made you wait that long Cagalli." Then his eye shift to Athrun.

"Is he coming with us?" Ask Nicol while pointing his index firgen to Athrun.

"Well yes, if you don't mind."

"Not at all. I have been dying to know Athrun Zala, since junior high. He is my idol since I saw he debate in my school. He really great, the reason that I move here is because of him." Said Nicol in excitement.

"Thank you, but sorry if I sound rude to you, may I know who are you? Do I know you anywhere?" Ask Athrun in confuse. It's really awkward for him hear all those things from a guy.

"Well my name is Nicol Amarfi."

"You the one who almost beat me in entrance exam by one point right? Its pleasure to meet you. As you know who I am, I still want to give you my proper introduction. Hello, I'm Athrun Zala, just call me Athrun."Said Athrun while extended his right hand to be shanking by the person in front of him.

"Then just call me Nicol." Reply Nicol while accepted his shake.

"Well boys, the boys are here, we need to keep on our mission Athrun." Said Cagalli while pulling Athrun into the bus.

Inside The Bus.

"I never know that Cagalli and you Athrun were best friend. How nice that I if I have a best friend." Said Nicol in sad.

"Why can't you have one?" Ask Cagalli in curious.

"Well for starters I love playing piano which made me a little bit distant from any other kids. When they have fun playing outside, I was inside playing piano. That made hard for me to approach them, since all in my life I love playing piano. What kind of conversion that I will attract them to talk to me? I don't know any kind of gossip, all I know was a piano. Nothing else."

"Well Nicol, I willing to be your friend so as Athrun. Right Athrun?" Ask Cagalli while looking at him sharply whose is sitting beside her.

"arrgg… Cagalli stop stares at me like that! I will be your friend Nicol, if that's what it take Cagalli removed her staring at me."

"You both surely close. But you sure will be bored of me eventually."

"Well to tell the truth Nicol, you also will get bored of Cagalli. She has a lot of crap story that she is dying to share with you." Reply Athrun while looking at her with that stupid smirk on his face.

"Nicol don't hear a word that came from this girl's issue."

"WHAT! Girl's issue! As you know I don't have any girl issue, so you know."

"Well then why you are still single, even you have plenty of fan girl that's dying to be your one and only girlfriend of Athrun Zala?"

"Because you the one that I want to spend my life with."Thought Athrun but he can't say it out loud yet.

"Because I want focus on my swimming, my dear Cagalli. After this one week break, there will be summer competition. I need to focus on it, I can't let my spirit down with couple problems. "Instead he just reply with those cheesy word.

"Yea, right." Reply Cagalli while rolled her eye.

Nicol whose sitting in front of them, just chuckle, they both really something too amused at.

Kizuki Resident.

"Welcome to my aunt's house."Said Nicol to both of his new guest and friends.

Cagalli amazed at the scenery in front her, on her right side she can see the horses range and stable. It's so green, she really wishes that she can ride one of the horses, but she more interested to save a kid live. Then on her left side she saw the garden, which full with many types of flowers which most of it she did not recognize since she not really into the flowers. In the middle there was a big bungalow house with red rooftop. The wall of the house was painted with lovely light yellow. All the windows crafted with customized woods. The trio enters the big main door that also crafted with customized woods but slightly different design that have on the windows.

When they enter from the main door, Cagalli again amazed at the inside decoration. It's so elegant with the marble tiles all over the places. In Cagalli eye it's so soft to look at. She just feels that she in heaven, with the cold sign, it's so peaceful. That peaceful of she did not last long, when she brought herself why she is here at first place. She need help this poor girl, so that her life can be saved.

When the trio went to upstairs, they hear a car stop in front the bungalow. They look for a while then enter a group of six people in total.

"Well It kinda slip from my mind, that you not only one that my aunt hired to help her case. She hired some people to help her out.' Said Nicol while smile sheepishly at both of his new friends.

"Wait, haired? Nicol you did not say anything about hiring. I don't want your money I here to help and at the same time I can gain some understanding about the spirit or ghost. Monet is the last thing in my mind." Reply Cagalli while jerking her head put to see who the person that Nicol aunt hired.

"Put all the equipment's inside that room. Be carful with those! It's really expensive even your yearly salary can't cover it." Said an arrogance of man. Him in his late twenties, he has long blonde hair which he ties to medium ponytail, his eye was gray.

"Ray honey, don't be rude to your workers. You do need them, if they run away, I am the one needing to find other workers for you, which it is troublesome for me to do so." Said another girl in her late twenties as early guy was, she has very short but in a girly way red hair with a pair purple eye. When she looks into her eye, she reminds of Athrun favorite color, he really loves purple.

After a while Cagalli watch them, she near them,"wait, are not you Ray Za Burrel, that is in paranormal activity quite sometimes. You even help that missing girl, that be missing for five years. You just set up all this expensive equipment to help locate her. But you need help from that ghost whisper, Lacus Clyne. Am I right?" Ask Cagalli while she recognizes the guy somewhere.

"Well little girl I am going with the name DeRay Za Burrel! Please remember that. And who are you anyway little girl?" Ask that guy in arrogant tone.

"Well first of all what with "De" IT SO WEIRD, AND I AM NOT A LITTLE GIRL AS YOU KNOW!"Huller Cagalli to his face.

Ray ready to punch that rude girl, but he stops when the red hair girl interrupted,"Ray! Watch your manner!"

That red hair girl turn to Cagalli,"Well I'm sorry about my fiancée behavior. By the way, I'm Lunamaria Hawke, as you can see I am his assistance for now, since his last assistance run away, cannot stand his behavior. To tell the truth he actually shy among people that he is acting in that way. "Smile Lunamaria to Cagalli.

"I can feel the spirit presence here. It is a "she". I can't tell more until I see the doll and Ayaka."Said a pink hair girl with that lovely baby blue eye.

"Is not that Lucas Clyne, the Ghost Whisper. She can feel and talk to the ghost. Am I right? She the one help that girl missing with that arrogant "DeRay", am I right? So now she collaborates with you guys?" Ask Cagalli to Lunamaria. Lunamaria just nod her head.

That pink hair girl looks at Cagalli and smile,"who you would be?"

"Well I here just to observe the thing that happened with Nicol cousin. I am not ghost whisper as you or him with those high tech to detect the presence of spirit of ghost. In simple I want to know and understand them, which in my opinion I will not contribute as much as you guys will do." Reply Cagalli while looking those equipment's that carry into the house.

"That is lovely of you. I sure you will contribute as much as we do." Said Lacus with that lovely smile on her face.

"Make sure she did not disturb our job with that interesting hobby that she want to spend with!"Said Ray with that he went to the provide room to set up his equipment's.

Cagalli just rolled her eye, and went to the upstairs where both of Athrun and Nicol standing at.

Cagalli sit on the edge of the bed and look up to Nicol,"well?"

"Well, my aunt is really paranoid about Ayaka, so she hired all these people to help her out. Since they are famous solved the case of that missing girl…"

"Which that girl was dead." Cut Cagalli.

"Yea, but they're still the best."

"Then why in hell you came to me? Make me embarrassing? It's like you put salt onto the wound. It's hurt, but I will put that aside, and show that "DERAY" to no mess CAGGALLI YULA ATTHA." Huller Cagalli at Nicol with evil laugh. Cagalli will never let someone like that DERAY to bring her down. It's a big NO!

Athrun who's not far from Cagalli, just let short sign, no one can't smack any sane into her bean mind when she has that determined look.

"What am I gotten into," thought Athrun to himself.

"NO! I am not going to embarrass with those people whose more experience than you do. I came to you, since I did my research that you help case with the wall behind school yard, without using those high equipment or be ghost whisper. You just solved it based on fact, your heart, and you understand them who is dead what they want. That kind of thing I want you to do here. You respect the dead more than anyone does."

Cagalli softer her eye,"thank you, for your compliment."

Athrun just laughed at her,"well Cagalli whether they embarrass you, I sure that you will give all you get right? Since that girl's life on stake."

"That's right! Nicol I need to see your cousin. Where she is?"

Nicol brings both of his new friends to the garden that Cagalli saw earlier when she enter the bungalow area.

There she saw a very beautiful lady in her late thirties, she has that very lovely brown hair which she ties it loss and put it on her right shoulder. That lady eye looking very sad and tired, but she still has that sparkle green eye, which show she still alive but somehow inside her die. That's what Cagalli see with this lady eye.

Nicol went closer to that lady and whisper something in her ear.

Then Nicol comes back to both of them,"Aunt here are my friends, Cagalli and Athrun. They also come here to help us." Said Nicol.

"It's a pleasure to come here." Said Athrun and Cagalli in unison.

That lady stands up from her place and went closer to both of newcomer,"well it is nice to meet you both of you. I am Kuraki Lisa. I change my last name when get married." Then her eye shift to the young girl. She wears that lovely pink Lolita dress, her hair ties high ponytail. Her hair black, while her eye Cagalli can see very clearly, since that girl was in the back of her.

"I guess I will let you guys talk to my only daughter." With that that lady went inside the house.

Cagalli went to that girl but before she does she notice that Nicol just stood when he standing, which make Cagalli wonder,"you aren't coming with us?"

Nicol just shook her head and smiled at two of them.

Athrun and Cagalli went to the kid,"hello there. We're new here. I am Cagalli and this handsome brother is Athrun, my special friend."Said Cagalli to the girl from her left side.

The girl just keeps staring to the sunset, then little she slowly look up with that sour face, but one thing that attracts Cagalli attention is that her eye pupil was not really clear to see and it's like her crying inside. Then Cagalli look what she be holding. Is a doll, very classy doll with that long blonde hair with that crystal black eye, just like that little girl's eye.

"Is that your doll? Can I have a look at it?" Said Cagalli while trying to reach the doll that she be held.

Before Cagalli can touch it the little girl yell at her,"NO! Mimi doesn't like you!" With that the girl runs inside the house.

Cagalli and Athrun just watch her retreat.

Athrun taps his hand on the Cagalli left shoulder, Cagalli look up,"did you see Cagalli what I see? Her pupil is not there. She really in possession. You really need save her life."

"I know Athrun but I need to know that doll history first if I want to help her. From the way she yelled at me that Mimi know that my intention to separate the doll from the host. Another thing that I noticed that Mimi is not any ordinary doll. It's made from 100% hair string, which it makes me harder to separate both of them."

"Wait! Hair? You know what it means right Cagalli? It means that the person in that doll still alive since it's made from her own hair that is a part of herself when her alive. We really need to act fast. Is not it will turn really ugly."

"Wait!? Did you just say we?" Smile Cagalli to Athrun,"I always thought that you hate to involve with this supernatural activity."

"Well… now the situation is different since it involves a young innocent life and your life too. You aren't dealing with some low sprit like you read on that ghost magazine or book. You can't act alone, that is why I will be with you 24/7. And that is final!" Said Athrun while looking at the sun that's going to set down and call it a day.

Cagalli just watch him from his side then get hold of his right arm while puts her head on his shoulder,"thank you."

Inside the house Nicol brings both of them in the room earlier that they saw people coming to set up the equipment that belong none other Ray Za Burrel.

"My aunt told me that you guys need to play nice with them. So why not you both are just being nice to them." Said Nicol while turns the doorknob.

Inside the room, they have a lot of equipment's, monitors, sound systems, surveillance cameras, and other thing that Cagalli can't recognize.

Nicol claps his hand to attract people's attention inside the room's attention, "well here are Cagalli and Athrun. I believe that they did not introduce themselves properly."

Cagalli eye all of the people inside the room, she recognizes three out of four people inside the room.

The guy with his short brown messy hair which he clip on his left side with that two green clips and that purple eye of him. Cagalli smile, when she thinking of purple she will remember that blue hair guy favoutite color.

Cagalli went to that brown hair guy,"who you will be?"

That guy just flashes his charming smile to Cagalli," well I am Kira Yamato. Just call me Kira…" before that guy finished his sentence Cagalli cut him out.

"That exorcist guy! Wait are not you this pink lady's husband?!" Ask Cagalli with wide open eye.

That guy just soft laugh at Cagalli reaction,"well that is me, and yes this pink lady is my wife."

Cagalli slightly blush, then her eye shift to the monitor that Ray currently preoccupied with. She went closer to the monitor,"what are those red and white colors in the monitor?" Ask Cagalli when her eye sees inside the monitor with those odd colors.

"Well if you want to know a little girl, those are the temperature of each room. We taking the temperature to know which room is having abnormal temperature, by mean abnormal is when the temperature extremely low it mean that the spirit in that particular room, if too high it just say that…"before Ray can finish his sentence Cagalli cut in

"That mean the sun was here because he drunk." Said Cagalli in sarcasm while having smiles on her face.

Ray just stares at her, without saying anything, he just hates people cut when he explains something. Kids now days don't have manner.

Then Athrun notices something on the screen,"is not that our room, Cagalli?" Asking Athrun while instructed his hand to come to see the monitor.

Cagalli went to Athrun direction, her eye wide open,"why you put those surveillance cameras I our room, you prevent?" Yell Cagalli to Ray.

"Little girl, why you scare that we record your hanky panky with you boy while you both in the room? By the way, it's hard to me to notice that you really have those lovely bodies of yours, I sure if you guys did the hanky panky my CD will be sell like hotcakes." Said Ray while have that stupid smirk on his face.

"You, better said sorry to her. She is not a such slut girl to be treated as that by you. You need to learn how to respect a lady for once, your mother never thought you how to behavior in front lady?" Said Athrun in a high pitch of his voice.

"Well well if not the boyfriend backing her up. You two sure made a lovely couple. I am not going to say sorry to her for what I said, and pretty boy my mother did thought me how to respect the lady, but I did not see any lady in her."

"You…" before Athrun can punch the guy, Lunamaria interferes.

"Stop both of you. Athrun right? We put every single room the surveillance camera even in my room with Ray so Lacus and Kira. So there is nothing to be worry about. Just stop."

"Make sure that you did not do anything stupid." Said Athrun while dangerously stares at Ray.

Knock Knock.

"The dinner is served." Said the one of the maids to the people inside the room while bow then she took her step out of the room.

Every single person in the room made themselves out to go dining room.

Athrun went closer to Cagalli,"well, are you fine?" Ask Athrun while looking dearly into cagalli hazel eye.

Cagalli amazed by his jade eye, she always thinks that Athrun eye is one mystify. She really loves to stare into his eye, somehow she felt calm when she looks into it. Cagalli smile at him then put both of her palm to Athrun check,"I am. Thanks for backing me up back there. Can't he just tell the truth, why he put that surveillance camera in our room without saying those irritating lecture to me."

Athrun just laughs at her,"Well you were right my princess. Come on, I bet you really starving to death. If that serves am an elephant, I bet that you can finish it by looking at it."

"Are you making fun of me Athrun Zala!" When Cagalli called Athrun by his full name, people near them turn in their direction.

"Not wonder your face look familiar to me. You're the son of Zaft Corp. people call you "the greatest Athrun Zala", since you run your father's corporation at a very young age without any problem. People who are older than you respect you so damn much because of your capabilities. But you sure can't find proper girlfriend. What a shame." Said Ray in mock of his tone.

"Ray! Stop it, it is not nice of you to say that to him or his girlfriend." Elbow Lunamaria to his hip.

"Whatever!" Said Ray with that he made his move to the dining room.

"I really can't understand those people especially that Ray guy. What about us that he hates. We just know him like less than a day."Said Cagalli while looking at Athrun.

Athrun just shrugged, he also don't know why that Ray guy reacts as that around them.

All of them reach the dining room, where the house of the house took her seat in the middle at the very end of the table, while her daughter sit on her right side.

Dinner went smoothly quiet. Only the sound of utensils can be heard. The dinner served with super spectacular meals, but it's seen that people on the dinning did not eat too much. Sometimes, they all will take a glance to look at the doll that young girl holds on. To Cagalli surprise Nicol was not joking when he told Cagalli that his cousin's appetite not like any five year old eat it more to late twenties.

The dinner went really odd smoothly, in Cagalli opinion. She did not eat as much she would have, which Athrun notice her behavior.

Inside Cagalli and Athrun Room.

Cagalli slamming her body onto her bed, then her eye to Athrun who pull up his shirt. Cagalli observe every single his movement. After a while her hazel clash with his jade, which make Cagalli slight blush. She stands up from her bed and went to the bedroom to change into pajama.

Athrun just watches her retread, he let his long sigh.

Cagalli wash her face, then she looks into the mirror. Her blush still on her face, she claps her cheek with both of her palm,"what's wrong with you Cagalli? It just Athrun you idiot, nothing to be shy about. Stay together Cagalli. You even took showers together with that blue hair guy when you were small. So in simple word you see him in a naked, what's wrong with you Cagalli? Don't act like some love sick teen." Said Cagalli to herself in the mirror.

"Are you okay princess?"Ask Athrun when Cagalli exit from the bathroom that attach their room.

Cagalli first get surprised by his sudden question, after she calms down her walk to Athrun bed, when he sits on the edge of his bed,"I am now. Why you ask?" Ask Cagalli when she took her seat beside him.

"Nothing, is just that you did not eat much during dinner. Why is something bothering you?" Asking Athrun while looking at her face dearly.

Cagalli know that look, that look telling her that the guy who is staring at her real concern about her, just like her dad, she flashback her old memory when she been missing for two hours to buy the latest CD of Ayumi Hamasaki. She just got lost on her way back home. She remembers that her dad advised if anything happened to her, just tell the police. It is a police job to help the public. She went near the police station and ask for help. The officer gladly helps her and sent her home with that escort car with sirens on. She really happy but her dad was not. He runs to her and hug her dearly while crying. She did not understand at that time, but now she does.

Cagalli smile at him dearly,"thanks for looking after me. Don't worry too much, is just I did not feel I at home, that is why I did not eat much. I am tired Athrun, I call it a day. Goodnight, my majestic.'with that Cagalli give him a peck on his cheek, and move to her bed.

In The Surveillance Room.

Inside the room there were only Ray and Lunamaria.

"Sure they all sleep soundly." Said Ray to break the silence between him and his fiancée Lunamaria.

"Yea, I think we also should call it a day. I guess there will not ant disturbing today. Come on Ray, we go inside our room, I am really am sleeping." Said Lunamaria while yawn.

"Sure, let's go honey…"before Ray can finish his sentence they both hear Cagalli screaming.

"What the hell is happening." Said Ray, he went to his monitor and to his surprise that are something to scream at.

"Let's go to that little girl's room Luna!" Said Ray to Lunamaria he quickly dashes into Cagalli room which is located second floor on the right after three room after her.

Inside Cagalli Room Before Her Scream.

Cagalli feel a drop of water on her face then her shoulder. She slowly opens her eye and wake up from her nice sleep, she is now in sit position on her single bed with her blur vision she saw a white light figure, she can't see that figure's face which she positive it is not Athrun. That figure pointing something to her to look at. She look where the direction that figure pointed at. It is her room wall, when she turns back to that figure it just vanish. She rubs her eye to see what's on her room wall. When her vision clear, her mind register what does she see, she screams on top of her lung.

Her screamed wake up Athrun instantly who sleep on another single bed on her right side, he wakes up from his bed and went to Cagalli to smooth her.

"What's wrong Cagalli?" Ask Athrun infirm.

Cagalli can't find her voice out, she just point to Athrun what make her terrified. Athrun look at her finger direction, a pair of his jade eye wide open in the direction that Cagalli point out.

Ray turns the light on, he is now in Cagalli room while Lunamaria behind him.

Lunamaria cover her mouth of shock, while Ray just study the words on the wall.

It's written in blood, there only four words on it but it writes repeactly.

"I want to protect my only treasure"

"Why can't you leave me be?"

"I am sorry"

"Please leave, if not someone will DIE!"

"What's wrong we heard someone screaming. Oh my God!" Said Lacus when she went in the room with Kira.

Nicol the last person arrived at Cagalli room, he also surprise by the words on the wall.

He went to Cagalli,"well Cagalli, I guess you and Athrun can't sleep here today, I will bring you both to new accommodation. I am really am sorry what happened to you guys. I really am, I hope you fine." Said Nicol in a low voice he did not know how to say that will comfort Cagalli after what she just witness.

"It's okay Nicol, I will take a very good care of her. It's not your fault, Nicol. Stop apologizing to us. New room sound nice." Said Athrun on their behalf since Cagalli still can't speak.

Then Athrun look at Ray and Lacus,"I guessing that you Ray will investigate what in the hell happening here, am I right? First of all, why does the spirit write on our bedroom not others? I mean Lacus is known as Ghost Whisper, why can't they go for her help. You Lacus, I hope you can communicate with them. I don't want this same thing happened twice at us, especially to my princess. Get it!" Said Athrun in a very loud voice almost yell, but he will never yell to anyone except if it's about the only one girl in particular he will go ballistic.

"Come on Cagalli, let me carry you on my back okay? Don't worry I am here for you. Don't be scared okay princess." With that Athrun carry Cagalli with her on his back.

Cagalli who still in shock, but one she on Athrun back she inhales his scent. By smell his scent Cagalli calm down a bit and drift to sleep. Athrun who still carries her, look over his shoulder that his princess peacefully sleep, he just smiles.

TBC…
