I do not own Gundam Seed anime, manga or any other materials.
To most people the classes where interesting and difficult, the workload of materials to be read, papers to write, and practical exercises in programing the OS of a mobile suit was massive. To Kira it was ordinary, routine, and boring to the point of tears. To someone like him he had studied all the materials for all the classes in a matter of hours. So after 4 days he had pretty much read and learned the entire bachelor degree curriculum. The only thing he was looking forward to was the weekend. He did just as they agreed the following weekend he did call Murrue Ramius and she did in fact decide to go on a first date. His new friend Mirialia, Kuzzey, Tolle and Sai would not stop asking questions. Where he was going dress like that? Did he have a girlfriend? Was he going out on a date? Where he was taking his date? How was he supposed to pay for it?, on and on when the questions. He simply got sick of it, and told them. "I don't ask you your private or intimate dealings do I? No, I don't cause I respect your privacy! So unless you either want me to start asking those kind of questions. Drop it!" Athrun simply told them that Kira was a very private person. If he was indeed dating someone he would not tell even him, and he was his brother.
Kira showed up on time, wearing some very nice clothes that gave him a very decent appearance. He was carrying a bouquet of flowers. Natarle made the mistake of thinking the flowers were for her when she dropped Murrue off to her date with the college student. Murrue quickly told her that he was her date, so the flowers were a possible sign of appreciation. Kira opened the door for her to get out and handed her the bouquet. "I do hope you find this flowers to your liking, even though they pale in comparison to your beauty." Murrue smile with a light blush on her face, "They are lovely, Kira. Thank your for the flowers and the sweet compliment. Natarle would you mind taking this to my home and putting in a vase with water?" Natarle was too busy cursing up a storm about how unfair life was, when she heard Murrue tell her that. She agreed that the flowers were lovely and to put them in a nice vase with some water back at her living room. As for Kira he looked at her and if she looked beautiful in a business attire, she looked positively like a knock out in her casual attire. "So where do we start?" Murrue asked him, Natarle could hardly believe she was treating this so official. "I was thinking that you probably know this place better than I do. A walk in the park, so I can get to know you and you me. I know a great movie theater with a nice selection of films, and lastly dinner at a nice restaurant." Murrue was impressed the date was carefully planned, "And how are you going to pay for all that?" Natarle was still parked listening on all that. "Not that it any of your concern, miss. But I started investing my allowance since I was 4 years old. So I own a few shares in some pretty good companies. My residual income is sufficient to live on, so my date will not pay for a thing." Murrue was surprised at him being so defensive. Natarle was now mad, he was smart, good looking, and not a cheapskate. Why could he date her instead of Murrue Ramius?
As they walked through the part they each talked about their likes and dislikes. She told him that she was a lieutenant in the Earth Alliance, and he told her that most of the things he told him were true, but he never received an allowance after the age of 10. He earned his money by being a mercenary. She quickly told him that the war was brutal and that it had not started that long ago. He told her that the Earth Alliance and the PLANT colonies had been in an unofficial war for over 20 years. Guerrilla warfare, and attacks on their material procurement or business interests. He even fought with and against Rau La Cruze on several occasions. Murrue was surprised and asked him what he piloted. He simply told him everything and anything. From mobile armor to mobile suits, transport choppers, to transport vehicles. Everything that was required to fulfill the agreed upon conditions of his employment. "So life here in a neutral colony must be real boring." Murrue asked him as they walked towards the movie theater. "Not at all, I can consider it a vacation. The thing that made it even better was that I was able to ask such a lovely lady out on date." Murrue could not help but to become closer and closer to him, he really was very interesting to her and her covert mission was also to find and recruit mercenaries to fight against ZAFT.
The movie turned out to be chosen by her, and much to his surprise she picked a romance movie with a military theme. In truth it was a propaganda film made by the Earth Alliance to promote patriotic feelings towards the Earth Alliance and negative feelings towards ZAFT. It was the typical male hero piloting a mobile suit against overwhelming odds against ZAFT enemies, a beautiful busty support member in love with the hero, dating, fighting, eventually winning a major victory for the Earth Alliance freeing a whole small nation from the enslavement by ZAFT. Marriage, promotion to a desk job, and kids. The ending was the typical they lived happily ever after theme. Murrue looked at the film through a critical point of view, but she did so resting her head on Kira's shoulder. She would ask him his opinion on the strategies that the officers where discussing in the movie. "Infantile, The strategies would never work on the real world. I know at least 8 ZAFT officers that would have beaten those strategies easily." Murrue looked at him, staring at his eyes. "How can you know so many in ZAFT?" He simply smiled and told her to remember he was a mercenary. He fought for both sides on multiple occasion. They always kept it a secret but some officers gave him an unsightly nickname. "Oh, what was your nickname? let me guess the boy wonder? the undebatable errand boy?" He remember that Captain La Cruze mentioned that his cover story he was a mercenary and that they had managed to put into the Earth Alliance mainframe reports on his activities form their forces and results of contracts and missions for them. "They called me the Shadow Felix. How they call me that I never figured it out." She was surprised to say the least. Her date was the infamous Shadow Felix of Pretovich. They called him a happy shadow because he was gone but always left his employers smiling. "So you ever been to a rather cold Northeastern Eurasia country?" Kira smiled as they both got up to leave the movie theater. "You mean Russia, sure I fought against some ZAFT brigades in a small town. They wanted to cause an earth company to collapse by stealing all their supply shipments. The Earth Alliance hired me to put a stop to it. I was there with a few Earth Alliance mobile suits. In the end it was unnecessary I took care of the problem and earned that nickname. I really should have let them injure me some, maybe I could have avoided that nickname then. The place was far too cold for the other pilots liking, had to do most of the job alone."
At dinner he behaved like a true gentleman, and even managed to take her out dancing. By the end of the date he escorted her to her place and looked very happy as they walked with their arms together. Most people saw them as a couple, and even when they got to where the residential area was some people tried to make some rude comments about her figure. He let go of her arm and he walked to where the person who made the rude comments were, "If you do not want to give up eating solid food, You will apologize to her right now!" Kira screamed, but the man was foolishly full of hot air. "Look, you don't deserve to be with a hot babe like her. So run away with your tail between your legs, and me and my buddies can show her what a real man can do whether she wants to or not!" They expected him to runaway and leave them to rape her, these fools might as well get used to mush from now on he thought. Without saying a word he dropped into a fighting stance. The man attacked him and he blocked the punch and gave him a hard punch to the mouth and while his opponent was dazed he grabbed him and threw him to a nearby tree. The thud was heard a few feet away as he fell unconscious. His buddies saw that and decided to jump in all at the same time. He repeated the same for each and everyone of them. After the fight was over he walked over to the pile of bodies and picked the leader of the gang. He slapped him hard. "Don't you have something to say!" The man looked at Murrue and as he opened his mouth many of his teeth fell out. "I am sorry for my comments, miss. Please forgive me, It will never happen again." He and his friend picked up their teeth from the ground and left. Murrue was surprised at Kira. He defeated a group of much larger in size and number than him. "Well sorry for that, Murrue but I could not stand there and let them insult you like that. Shall we go? How far to your home?" Murrue took hold of his arm that he had offered to her, "Not far, just a couple of blocks. But how did you defeat all of them so quickly?" Kira laughed and smiled at her. "I am a mercenary after all. Civilian fights are child's play." She blushed at him and was quite happy to have someone defend her honor like that. As they reached her front door, "Thank you for a lovely evening. Mind if we go out next week?" Murrue let go of his arm, "I would love to." She took the initiative and kiss him on his lips. "I see where you get your nickname. You sure made me happy this evening." As he left and she entered through the door. She saw Natarle waiting on the living room, "So how was your date? boring right? he is just a student after all." She laughed at what Natarle said. "On the contrary I had a lovely time, and will again next week." She quickly made a comment to her that she behaved like a happy girlfriend who just got back from a date. "Well if you want to consider me a happy girlfriend, then consider who is my boyfriend. I just went out on a date with the infamous Shadow Felix of Petrovich. With a boyfriend like that how can I not be happy!" Natarle could not believe what she heard the college student was that mercenary and Murrue was dating him!?
Kira walked into his dorm room and saw Athrun waiting for him. "So how was your date?" Kira looked at him with a stoic look on his face, "The date lovely, the company wonderful, the fight enjoyable. the mission progressing as planned. Background and Initial contact established." Athrun went to his bed and lying down on it commented something. "You sure are having fun on this mission. I wish I could meet such a lovely lady too." Kira undressed and put on his sleep wear. "She is beautiful, funny, kind, focus and tender. I sure did manage to find myself quite a wonderful girlfriend. I think my time on this colony is just getting better, and improving as time goes on."
