Don't worry, hopefully this story would finish at the 5th chap. I know you guys are getting a bit bored. Well, me too. Well, let's just finish the story shall we? Okay so... Here it goes!! R&R!
CHAPTER 4
The soccer madness
Okay so... Athrun and Kira went on together on the field to join the other team members, while Lacus and Cagalli searched for a couple of seats at the benches lent for the audiences in the soccer games and other games held in the field. The girls spotted some vacant seats but unfortunately, they were quite near the cheerers of the opponents' team. But they didn't mind it although. What's important is they could watch the game.
Okay, to the game... CHAAARRRGGGGEEE!!!! Hehehe. (",)
"Okay guys listen; this is one of the most important games we need to win this intramurals that were having. We need to obtain 3 wins before we could enter the championship. Okay?" their team captain announced, convincing them to increase their strengths because every game their going to fight is important.
And so, the captain assigned the certain places for such persons/players.
(Note: I'm not very familiar with the positions in the soccer game, but I play soccer, so I'm sorry but I won't be able to specify clearly what position is assigned to either Athrun or Kira)
"Okay, Athrun, Kira, can I talk to you two for a sec?" the captain asked the two
"Yes captain!" the two answered
They followed their captain and listened to him carefully,
"Listen, to tell you honestly and I believe our teammates think the same, you two are our aces in this game. Your incredible combination and terrific tactics on games led us to have an opportunity to fight in this intramurals and have our own team title. I believe this is truly a great honor and it is not easy to be included in intramurals game. And we all trust in each member and especially you two. I just wanna say good luck. Play as the same, whoever or whatever your inspirations are, let them be your guide to success." Their captain smiled cheerfully at them, trying to wipe or even just lessen the tense the two were feeling.
So Athrun, Kira and the captain joined the other team members for the last seconds left and put their hands together on the center and raised them up at each at the same time.
And the game began
Athrun was assigned to be the representative of their team for the first kick or the so called sign to start the game (like jumpball in basketball)
Athrun was able to kick the ball hard and pass it directly to Kira and Kira handled the ball carefully in his practiced kicks and turned it to another team member and they continue the game, but yet, the competition was tough.
Getting back at the girls, Cagalli and Lacus watched the game carefully and at the same time, praying for Athrun and Kira, very deeply. But yet, we all know that Athrun and Kira are superbly famous and very popular, actually, there are girls that launched fan clubs for both of them and those girls are also watching the game. Shouting and screaming, cheering for their crushes.
But... Cagalli got a bit irritated by the noise the girls were making
"Why don't they just all shut their mouths and pay attention to the game??? I don't know why, but it irritates me!!! 'Go, Athrun, go Athrun...' sheesh! Their getting on my nerves!!" Cagalli mumbled to which only Lacus could hear.
Lacus on the other hand smiled and slightly chuckled in bit laughter because of Cagalli's attitude.
'Sheesh. She's just covering things up. Why doesn't she just tell me that she's jealous of those girls who were cheering for the guy she actually love the most in the world? There are just things only certain people could explain in the world today Ü'
"Lacus?" Cagalli shook her a bit and woke her in her daylight trance. "Are you paying attention to the game? Kira just score one didn't you see?"
Lacus hurriedly focus her attention on the game and she saw Kira looking at her and holding her tied hanky on his upper right arm.
'This is what made me play extremely good. This hanky which is tied on my arm, serves as my guide and reminds me and makes me think that this thing is your arm wrapped around mine... and as I look on your face, you gave me the strength... because you're my inspiration... you're my angel' thought Kira while getting ready for another set by Athrun.
And then they continued and at this time, Athrun made the score.
Cagalli heard a louder scream from the girls and she just tried to ignore it
Lacus saw the irritation on the friend's face "Oh come on Cagalli, don't irritate yourself. Just don't mind them, let them have their own businesses and think of how you could support our friends on the field, that is Athrun and Kira, especially Athrun" the pink-haired girl convinced her calmly
"I know that Lacus, but... very well. I'll try" she replied, trying to show Lacus that she'll calm herself down
But suddenly, in the game, one of the players in the soccer team intentionally bumped Athrun –w/c is currently the one carrying the ball- and they both stumbled in the field.
Yet, one of the cheerers in the opponents' side happens to be quite rude "Hey!!! That's cheating you blue haired dope!!!" she shouted, making some of the crowd screamed louder
The referee didn't call on any violation because there are no such proofs and decided to continue the game.
Meanwhile, Kira approached Athrun "it's okay bud, just let them..." Kira reached out his hand to help Athrun stand but then
"Ahh!" Athrun raised his voice in pain
"Why?" Kira asked and Athrun held his right foot and they both saw a bit blood and Athrun's face was truly in quite pain
At this time, the game was half starting but Kira sent a signal to their coach and there was a sudden time-out. Their captain rushed towards the two and asked what the problem is. "Kira, Athrun, what happened?" he asked
"Captain, I'm afraid I don't know" Kira answered respectfully
On the other hand, Lacus and Cagalli were wondering what was happening around the field, they were quite worry though, cause they saw that the ones that were in the middle of the crowd were Athrun and Kira. So they both decided to go see themselves and check if everything's ok. But before they could go down the field...
"What's that???? Another racket??? You're just making the time longer cause you can't admit that you don't have anything to compete with our team!!!" the girl screamed teasingly again "That blue-haired guy player of yours is really trying to catch everyone's attention, isn't he?? Maybe, he's doing that because people don't recognize him.... How poor the boy is, huh huh huu!!!" (laughs) she added.
At this time the girls that was cheering for Athrun were about to blow in anger, but they somehow manage to control to remain their girly appearance.... But, one did not manage to control anymore.... It's just not just like her to remain girly or anything... she just wanted to prove that wrong is always wrong....
Anyhow, Athrun just looked at the girl teasing him and tried to ignore it. He tried harder o stand but he just can't, until . . . . .
"Athrun!" Cagalli shouted, sounding worried. She was heading down the stairs with Lacus
But the rude girl started up again... "Oh look his girlfriend's worried . . . . . go girl, go to your "honey"" the girl shouted teasingly and some of the crown laughed onto it.
Cagalli can't take it any longer and headed back upstairs. Athrun tried to follow her but he really can't stand, so Lacus and Kira followed Cagalli hurriedly.
(bet you can guess where Cagalli's heading)
"OH, so you're the blue-haired player's girlfriend are you?" the girl asked teasingly. But Cagalli just remained silent and glared at her
"Are you mad at me?" the girl asked confusingly
But Cagalli still remained silent and wearing her glaring eyes, until Lacus and Kira came. They called onto Cagalli but Cagalli raised her hand trying to tell the two to stay where they are.
"Hey, I know you! You're Cagalli Yula Attha! One of the volleyball and badminton players in this school. I never thought you'd like such guy as that one over there" the girl said, pointing at Athrun, who was currently being placed on a stretcher
"Why can't you speak?" the girl continued
"It's just a waist of breath if I will be talking to someone like you" Cagalli answered, sounding like she'd already had enough
"What did you say?"
"See, it's truly is a waist of breath to talk to you . . . . You can't even hear the words I say" Cagalli replied
"How dare you!!!"
"How dare you too . . . . . Insult such a person like Athrun. . . !!!"
"Ohh, so his name was- ATHRUN!!??"
"Yes. Why, didn't you know?"
"He's- he's Athrun Zala!!!"
"YES!!!!!"
Cagalli shouted. The girl remained quiet for some time and kept on thinking the insulting words she'd said before.
"Now, why can't YOU speak??" Cagalli started again
The girl ignored what Cagalli have said and continued her insulting
"I didn't know, the famous Athrun Zala, was a very weak player, Cagalli" she began again
This time, Cagalli really had enough! She went close to the girl, grabbed the neckline on her dressed and raised her up a bit
"Listen to me very, very, extremely carefully. Never, as in never again, insult, any of my friends. Got the picture?" Cagalli spoke out each word slowly and very surely for the girl to clearly hear everything she says. The girl just kept silent and a bit scared 'she's not that ordinary girl I thought she was' she thought
"Do you get what I've told you?" Cagalli spoke again like before
"Crystal clear. Now would you please let me go?" she replied. And Lacus rushed to Cagalli, who already released the girl from her hands
"Cagalli, come on, that's enough" Lacus insisted, luring Cagalli downstairs
Lacus along with Cagalli and Kira walked downstairs to go to Athrun, but then. . . .
"HEY!! Aren't you apologizing for what you did to me????" the girl started again
Then Lacus, Kira and Cagalli faced the girl exactly at the very same time speaking this only word
"NO." they spoke out this word exactly at the same time and then headed downstairs.
The girl just remained silent while the crowds were all looking at her. She felt so embarrassed that she ran out from the audience and left the unfinished game.
Meanwhile. . . . .
"She's so pathetic!" Cagalli moaned
"You should have ignored her in the first place, sis" Kira insisted, his hand where both placed inside his pocket
"Ignored her??? Kira, you know me. I couldn't just let her insult Athrun like that!!"
"Okay, okay. Enough as it is. It's all over and it already happened. Let's just hope she don't turn the tables, okay?" Lacus entered their conversation calmly
The three headed to the clinic where Athrun was. His right foot was quite injured, and was required to take a rest.
The three entered the room where Athrun is and stayed there for quite some time, until one of the players of the soccer team entered the room and called onto Kira.
"Kira, Kira!" he called
"What is it Tolle?" Kira replied
"Coach was asking if ever you could get back at the game. Afterall, your not badly injured and we're all hoping that you can still play" Tolle answered
"Of course! I'm sorry I forgot about the game. I'll be right over" Kira assumed
"Okay!" Then Tolle left the clinic and headed back at the game
"So, I guess I won't be staying here buddy" Kira told Athrun
"It's all right. Go now. I know you can finish what we've started" Athrun replied with a smile
"See you later guys" Kira then rushed off looking a bit lonely
"There's something wrong with my bro-" but before Cagalli could finish
"Kira!" Lacus shouted
Then Kira immediately stop and faced Lacus. His face was merely sad
"Wait up!" Lacus followed him with a smile
Then Kira's face turned happy again. And the two of them rushed of to the game. Kira grabbed Lacus hand to the game
Athrun saw everything that happened and he looked at Cagalli. Cagalli was quite speechless and was a bit emotionless. Athrun just chuckled in laughter and when Cagalli heard his laughs, she is some how awakening up.
"You were saying?" Athrun started teasingly
"Shut up Athrun!" Cagalli blushingly replied and slightly tapped his injured foot
"Ouch!" Athrun screamed in pain
"I'm so sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry....." Cagalli went on and on until her face was already facing Athrun's face. Athrun again put his fingers on Cagalli's lips to make her stop saying the same words over and over again
"Ssshhh. Its okay, it's okay. Don't worry" Athrun calmly explained
"Are you sure your okay now?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Just a bit shock of your tap that's all. Don't worry"
"I'm so sorry, really. I was a little bit out of my mind; I forgot you have an injury"
"It's okay. I'm totally fine. Okay?"
"Okay"
The two then just tell stories on each other while they were the only people in the clinics (well except the nurses and other clinic staff)
Back at the game
Kira was hanging up good, but he was the only one moving. He already scored a few bits, but still the opponents are quickly approaching their score.
He was merely catching his breathe also because of his tiredness. He was extremely exhausted.
Meanwhile, Lacus was watching over him and she saw that Kira's condition is not that good anymore. She tried to calm Kira down, but Kira was too busy worrying about the score. He's still trying to build up a few more points and hopefully, He was successful.
Kira already found out how to team up wonderfully with his other teammates and with their teamwork, they won the game. The crowd went on cheering and screaming and Kira was congratulated by everyone.
With his extreme tiredness and complete exhausted body, Kira went on to Lacus, who hurriedly went down the field to greet his friend for their victory.
Lacus was running towards Kira and she hugged Kira tightly and cheerfully.
"You won! You won! You were great Kira! You're excellent!" Lacus cheered gratefully while Kira was hugging her back in happiness
Then they faced each other and their face was almost near. Lacus smiled beautifully on Kira and he also smiled back. But before Kira could speak a word, he lost his consciousness and fell directly into Lacus' arms.
"Kira! Kira!" Lacus worriedly asked while trying to wake Kira up.
She caressed her hand onto Kira's cheeks and called on his name over and over again. But Kira was completely tired and was brought to the clinic
Went Kira was placed on his bed, Athrun and Cagalli saw him too.
"Kira?" Cagalli thought
Athrun slightly stood up for him to be able to see who the new patient was, and...
"Yap! That is Kira" He calmly told Cagalli
Kira was already laid down on the bed and Lacus was there, right there beside him. She kept on caressing his face until, Kira's eyes slowly opened.
"Kira? Kira?" Lacus slowly spoke to him
"La – Lacus" he replied. Lacus reached out for his hand and Kira knew that Lacus was there
He was then able to open his eyes completely and he saw Lacus' face.
"Lacus. What happened?" He asked
"You fainted. And now, you too were brought here in the clinic. Are you feeling well now?"
"Yeah" he replied while slightly laughing
"Why? What's so funny?" Lacus asked in a smile
"Nothing. It's just that, this morning you were the one who was in my condition right now. Pretty funny, ei?" Kira answered
"Ha ha ha. Very funny mister Yamato. You were forcing yourself too much on this day"
"Nah. That was just probably a bit of tiredness. But I'm fine"
"Whatever Kira. Now, I want you to take some rest okay? I'll go to Cagalli and we'll juts get some lunches for you and Athrun. Is that okay with you?"
"I can stand. I want to go with you"
"Don't be so childish. Just stay there and rest okay. Oh! I almost forgot. I have my game scheduled this afternoon. What time was that? Ummm" Lacus thought
"2:00 in the afternoon after lunch. Gee you sure you're okay to play now?" Kira answered
"Of course I'm sure. Okay, take your rest mister. We'll be right back"
"Lacus"
"Yeah?"
". . . . . . . . "
"Kira is there something you wanna say?"
"Nothing. Don't worry I'll take my rest, Miss Clyne. I wanted to see you game this afternoon. Is it okay with you?"
"That's terrific! You need to take your rest for you to be able to watch me and Cagalli play"
"I know that"
And Lacus went on Cagalli and Athrun. Athrun was asleep that time and Cagalli and Lacus left the clinic to buy some food.
As they were walking along the way to the cafeteria...
"Cagalli?" Lacus started
"Ya?" she replied
"Are you worried about Athrun?"
"Of course. Why? Anyways, are you worried about Kira?"
"Naturally. Wouldn't want anything bad to happen to him and also to Athrun"
"Same goes for me" answered Cagalli
"Guess were both worried about them" Lacus said
"Yeah. Wonder if they think the same about us" Cagalli ended
And they both entered the cafeteria to get some food
Lacusdestiny: So that was the 4th chapter. Really, some things are weird when it comes to the thing they call 'love', or was it?
