*Cordelia*

I sat between Castor and Labrador eating breakfast. Frau hadnt shown up for breakfast leaving the three of us alone, having a peaceful breakfast.

"So how are you Cordelia?" Asked Labrador and I smiled.

"Im good, how about you Labrador?" He smiled as well.

"Im good, I had an amazing dream about a puppy that I had when I was young last night." I giggled.

"Really, what happened in it?" I asked.

"Well it was mostly just me playing with my puppy." I glanced at Castor and he smiled as well. Everyone here was so nice. This place was nothing like the military where I had constantly been critisized by low-lifes who believed that they were better than me. But even though so many people had been cruel to me in the military there was one person who had always been on my side.

*FLASHBACK*

I stood at the front of the classroom in my cadet uniform and I could feel the eyes of everyone in the class on me. All of them were obviously wondering why a girl was here, in their classroom, in the same cadet uniform as them.

"Students, this is Cordelia. She will be joining our class starting today." Almost all the guys in the room began to protest. "Please be nice to her, she is the younger sister of Ayanami-Sama." Everyone gasped and the room went quiet. "Cordelia, you can take a seat at the back beside Konatsu." I nodded then walked to the back of them room and sat down beside a boy with blonde hair. He smiled at me.

"It's nice to meet you Cordelia. Im Konatsu Warren." I blinked in surprise then nodded.

"It's nice to meet you, Warren." He smiled and scratched the back of his head.

"You dont need to be so formal, just call me Konatsu." I nodded.

"Okay, Konatsu."

That day was when it all started. It was the day that the side of me that desired to slaughter all those around me was born. But that boy... The boy whom I had sat beside had stopped me from doing so. He had kept me grounded.

I sat down at the back of the classroom with my assignment in hand. We had done an assignment on the Raggs War and I had the essay that Konatsu and I had written together in hand. A boy then walked over and I glared at him.

"What's this, Ayanami-Sama's little pet finished her work two days before it was due?" Two other boys walked over and I glared at them as well. Two of them then grabbed me while the other grabbed my paper. "Hey! This is a pretty good Essay, I think i'll just put my name on it and hand it in." The other guys laughed.

"Yeah, do it. Then this little bitch will have to write the paper all over again with that little dorky blonde friend of her's." I snarled then elbowed both guys who were holding me in the stomach making them stumble back. I then jumped from my chair and punched the one who had insulted Konatsu in the face. I then spun and kicked the one with my essay in the face, causing him to fly into the wall, dropping the essay which I easily caught.

"I dont care if you insult me, but I will not tolerate you insulting Konatsu." I went to punch the third guy when someone grabbed my wrist and I looked over at Konatsu. "K-Konatsu."

"It's alright Cordelia. It looks like they understand their mistake, so there is no need for that." I nodded. "But... I cant forgive you for calling Cordelia a bitch." I gasped as Konatsu began to beat up the one who called me a bitch. It took two military officers to detach him from the other boy. But when they went to hit Konatsu I punched one of them in the face then kicked the other in the face and soon enough Konatsu and I were locked temporarily in a cell. I sighed and looked down at the essay.

"I didnt get to hand in our essay." I said with a sigh and Konatsu smiled.

"That's alright, we still have two days to hand it in afterall." I nodded and smiled as well.

"Your right Konatsu." I then heard footsteps and I looked to the bars of the cell as my brother and Hyuuga walked over. I smiled brightly then ran over as he unlocked the cell. I then ran out and hugged my Onii-Chan. After a minute I looked up at him. He pulled off a glove and gently rubbed at the dried blood under my nose.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Oh well I was in class when some guys were offending my partner Konatsu so I beat them up and then they offended me and Konatsu beat them up, and before we knew it we were being dragged down here by ten military officers." He sighed and Hyuuga chuckled.

"Your such a little trouble maker Cordelia-Chan." I giggled.

"Dont say such things in front of Onii-Chan, he doesnt want me to turn out like you Hyuuga-Sama." This made Hyuuga chuckle again.

"I told you not to be so formal Cordelia-Chan." I thought for a moment.

"So should I call you Hyu-Tan, the same way that you call Onii-Chan; Aya-Tan?" I asked causing him to continue to chuckle.

"How about just Hyuuga?" I nodded.

"Sure, so how are you just Hyuuga?" Hyuuga continued to chuckle and I giggled. That was when I remembered Konatsu. He was standing inside the cell looking at me and smiling.

"What is it Konatsu-Chan?" I asked.

"Im just glad to see you having fun, your always so serious in class so it's nice to see you laughing." I smiled and Konatsu did as well.

"Aya-Tan, I think Cordelia-Chan has a crush." I gasped and looked up at my big brother as his eyebrow twitched.

"I wont allow it." He stated as he drew his sword causing Konatsu and I to both recoil against the wall of the cell.

"W-Wait Onii-Chan!"

I sighed as I walked back into the room where all of us cadets slept. Konatsu and I had luckily escaped from my brother's rath by pushing Hyuuga in front of us and now here we were, heading to bed. I opened our metal closet and put our essay in one of the magnetic clips on the door. I then looked in at the picture of Krom, Kreuz, Krowell and I that sat on one of my shelf's. Konatsu then hung his jacket up in his side and glanced at the picture of me and my brother's.

"Hey Cordelia, I've been wondering about that picture, is that you and your family?" He asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, it's me and my three big brother's." He smiled.

"It looks like you were all very close." I nodded again.

"We were, you see my parents refused to raise me after Aya-Onii-Chan left Raggs and came to Barsburg so I was raised by my two other older brother's. I was closest to the one with the brown hair, Krom. After Aya left I spent almost all my time with Krom. Krom and I did almost everything together. We would get up at the same time and eat breakfast at the same time. Then Krom would have some coffee and I would have hot chocolate and pretend that it was coffee. After that we would spend the rest of the day doing pretty much whatever we wanted. But I often had terrible nightmares so I would always sneak into Onii-Chan's room in the middle of the night and sleep there all night on the floor. After a little while of that I just started to actually sleep in Krom's room every night until he got married. After he got married I went and slept in my other Onii-Chan's room." Konatsu smiled at me.

"What happened to them?" He asked causing me to frown.

"They were all killed during the Raggs War, and I would have been too if Aya-Onii-Chan hadnt found me." All the other cadets then started walking in. I sighed then took off my jacket and boots, hanging my jacket in the closet and put my boots at the end of the bed. I then climbed onto the top bunk after closing the closet door. I heard the other closet door close and I glanced down as Konatsu climbed into his bed. I sighed then snuggled into my bed and closed my eyes. Despite the fact that I had closed my eyes I still couldnt get to sleep. Talking about Krom and Kreuz hurt and now that I had told Konatsu about them I couldnt stop thinking about them. I sighed and turned over staring at the ceiling. It had to be late.

"Cordelia, are you still awake?" Asked Konatsu and I glanced down at him.

"Yeah, how about you?" He nodded.

"I just wanted to tell you that I think it was nice of you to tell me about your brother's. I like it when I can hear about you. We usually only ever talk about my life so I like hearing about you and your family and how your life was in the past." I smiled.

"Thank you Konatsu." He stood then grabbed onto the bar of the top bunk and looked at me.

"For what?" He asked.

"For being someone that I know I can depend on." He smiled as well.

"Then thank you Cordelia, for being a best friend that I know will always be by my side." I blinked in surprise.

"Best friend?" I asked and he nodded.

"Yeah, the only best friend I've ever had." I smiled.

"Your the only best friend I've ever had too."

"Really?" I nodded. "Okay, then let's promise something to each other. I promise that I wont ever abandon you, Cordelia." I smiled.

"I promise that I will never abandon you, Konatsu Warren." We then grabbed each other's pinkies and.

"I promise." We stated at the same time then smiled brightly. Konatsu then jumped up onto the top bunk.

"Im staying up here tonight." I nodded and Konatsu and I both layed down, closing our eyes.

I was woken up when I heard a crash. I gasped and looked down then saw mine and Konatsu's things laying all over the floor. I jumped down from the top bunk then opened my closet and saw that my picture of me and my three big brother's was gone and the frame was laying on the ground broken. Konatsu then jumped down beside me.

"Who did this?" He asked and I shook my head.

"I dont know." He gasped when he heard my sad tone of voice.

"They took the picture of you and your brother's didnt they." I nodded and he snarled. Konatsu then pulled on his boots and ran to the door.

"Konatsu! Come back!" I put on my boots and jacket then ran after Konatsu out of the bedroom. I followed him all the way through the academy until we got to the office of Miroku-Sama. "Konatsu, Miroku-Sama wont be here at a time like this." He sighed.

"I know he probably wont but it's worth a try." Konatsu then opened the door and peeked in.

"What is it?" Asked a voice from the room. I gasped and peeked in at Miroku-Sama.

"I apologize for disturbing you, but may my partner and I speak with you, Miroku-Sama?" Asked Konatsu and he nodded. We then both walked in.

"What is it?" He asked.

"Well Miroku-Sama, you see while Cordelia-Kun and I were sleeping someone broke into our closet and stole an essay that we had written on the raggs war along with a picture that was very dear to Cordelia. We were just wondering if there is any way that the teachers could help us find the culprits." Miroku-Sama looked at me.

"If it had been any other student that had been stolen from I would have said no, but since this is Ayanami-Sama's sister we are talking about, I will get the teachers to help you find the culprit." We both smiled and bowed.

"Thank you very much. Miroku-Sama." We chorused. We then waited a few minutes and two teachers arrived.

"What is it, Miroku-Sama?" Asked one of them.

"Some students stole from these two and we want you two to find the culprit or culprits." They both nodded.

"Of course, Cordelia, Konatsu, let's go." We both nodded.

"Of course, thank you very much, Miroku-Sama." He nodded as we both followed the teachers from the room and back to the bedrooms.

"So what exactly did they steal?" Asked our teacher.

"They stole the essay on the Raggs War that Konatsu and I wrote and a picture of me and my family." We stopped once we got back to the dorm room.

"Everyone get up, and stand in front of your beds." Yelled the female, red headed teacher. Everyone did as instructed.

"Someone stole from two of the other students. Stealing from your comrades is terrible, so whoever stole Konatsu and Cordelia's essay and Cordelia's family picture can either hand it over now and get away with a small punishment or we will search every one of you and when we find who stole them they will be kicked out of their class and will never be able to apply for a spot in the Barsburg Armed Forces again." Two guys walked forward. They were two of the three who had attacked us earlier. One handed over our essay and the other handed me the picture of me and my brother's. I sighed.

"Good, now as for your punishment." That was when the door behind us opened and I looked back as my brother walked in followed by Hyuuga, Katsuragi and Kuroyuri. "Ayanami-Sama what are you doing here?" Asked the female teacher.

"Are those the two who stole from Cordelia?" He asked and she nodded. She both recoiled slightly at the sight of Aya.

"Fine, then I will discipline them myself." She bowed.

"Of course, Ayanami-Sama." Hyuuga and Katsuragi grabbed both the boys and pulled them from the room. Kuroyuri then ran over and hugged me.

"Are you alright Cordelia-Chan?" Asked Kuroyuri and I nodded.

"Im fine Kuroyuri-Sama." He smiled.

"That's good. Dont worry Ayanami-Sama and the rest of us will punish them and make sure they never pick on you again." I blinked in surprise. Kuroyuri then ran back to catch up with Hyuuga and Katsuragi. Aya looked at me and I met my brother's gaze.

"Which one of them called you a bitch?" He asked and I gasped. I hadnt told him about that. I mumbled the students name and that student as well was brought over. "Be careful with that picture Cordelia. We both know it's all you have left of our brother's, so always keep it close." I nodded.

"Your right Onii-Chan, I will keep it close to me from now on." He nodded then headed out with the third student.

"There now that this is over all of you go back to bed. Let this be a warning to all of you, if you keep picking on Cordelia-Kun then Ayanami-Sama will personally punish you." Everyone nodded and Konatsu and I headed back over to our bunk. I picked up all the glass from the floor then put it in the garbage. I then tucked the picture of me and my brothers into my uniform so that I wouldnt lose it.

"Im glad that's over with." I nodded. "Dont worry though im almost positive that no one will pick on you now that Ayanami-Sama intervened." I nodded.

"Your probably right but... I didnt want my brother to have to scare people into leaving me alone. I want to start to be independant instead of constantly relying on my brothers for everything like I did when I was a little kid."

It wasnt long after that, that Konatsu and I both graduated, tied for the top scores in the class. After I graduated I was instantly accepted into the Black Hawks by my brother despite the fact that I wasnt a Warsfeil like him and everyone else. Konatsu had sent in an application to the Black Hawks which had been rejected. It made me feel bad but after a little encounter with Hyuuga where Konatsu won one of Hyuuga's swords Hyuuga personally reccomended him to Aya-Onii-Chan and Konatsu was soon accepted into the Black Hawks as well as Hyuuga's Begleiter while I was Aya's Begleiter.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

I sighed and Castor glanced at me.

"What is it Cordelia?" He asked and I smiled.

"Nothing, just remembering some nostalgic times." He smiled as well.

"Those are the best kind of times to remember." I nodded.

"Yep, that's for sure." I sighed again then thought about Konatsu, my first and only best friend.

*Ayanami*

I sighed as Konatsu walked into the office, his arms full of paperwork.

"Ayanami-Sama, we have been given permission to enter the Seventh District to clean up the Hawkzile crash." I nodded.

"Good, we leave tommorow morning, inform everyone of that Konatsu." He nodded.

"Of course, Ayanami-Sama. Oh and I also have one thing I need you to sign." I looked at him.

"What is it?" I asked.

"It's paperwork concerning Cordelia's death. Oak-Sama asked me to give it to you." I nodded as he put it down on my desk then proceeded to Hyuuga's desk to do all the work that Hyuuga was supposed to be doing. I sighed.

"Konatsu, just give me that paperwork and go have a break." He blinked in surprise.

"No, I cant leave you to do all this paperwork by yourself Ayanami-Sama." I met his gaze.

"I insist." He sighed.

"Well if you insist then I guess I have no choice." He put the paperwork down on my desk then headed out of the office. I sighed as I grabbed the first piece of paperwork. Konatsu worked so hard so I felt like he deserved a break. He had worked over time every day since Cordelia had "died" and was beggining to work even more over time than myself. Besides, I had a feeling that he was attempting to drown his sorrows using his paperwork so it was probably best if I just gave him a little while to reflect on things. That was when Hyuuga popped up from behind me and I glared at him.

"What do you want?" I asked with a glare.

"You look so lonely Aya-Tan, I wanted to come and keep you company." I turned to glare at him fully and he recoiled to the other side of the room.

"Leave or die." Hyuuga sighed then walked back over and plopped down into the chair on the other side of my desk, grabbing a pen and some paperwork.

"I'll do this paperwork, you go and get some rest Aya-Tan, you look tired." I blinked in surprise. "Dont worry Aya-Tan I can do this, just go." I stood and grabbed the papers on Cordelia, throwing them into the recycle. Soon enough everyone would know that Cordelia wasnt dead so the papers meant nothing. "Night Aya-Tan." I sighed as I walked from the room, not bothering to reply to Hyuuga.
