THINGS YOU DO FOR LOVE
Lacus-destiny: Heidi howdy ho! Anyway, I'm REALLY SOORRYYY! Maybe you would say that all I can do is say sorry. I'm sorry for not updating. My deepest apologies especially to those readers who're waiting. My computer encountered a problem and I can't enter the internet. I'm really sorry. But anyway, in other matter, thanks for the reviews. Here's my 6th chappy! AT LAST!
Chapter 6: This is our game. Eugene's thing
Things really started to heat, especially between Kira and Eugene. The audiences are really fascinated on what the two boys are showing; especially Kira. He wasn't a varsity that's why people are mostly surprised to his performance
(Well, waddya know… there really are some things that you suddenly do when it comes to love… harharhar!)
Lacus was quite worried that they're both taking the game too personally. Her coach suddenly calls out to the referee for a time-out.
The score was 17 to 16. With Kira and Lacus up by 1
"Your game was incredible Kira…" The coach greeted
Kira on the other hand was catching his breath and was trying to answer
" . . . . Thanks . . . . Coach ..." He answers with current breathing. Then he drinks his water
"Don't you think you're pushing it too much my dear brother?" Cagalli started approaching the exhausted Kira and Lacus with Athrun beside her
"Me? Pushing too much? No. Why would I do that?" Kira defended
"Cagali's right Kira. I think you're overdoing it" Lacus agreed while handling Kira a towel
"Nah. He's not overdoing it. Besides, I think that guy Eugene's the one who's overdoing himself. Right Kira?" Athrun answered while looking at the other team
"Yeah. Don't worry. I'm enjoying myself actually" Kira said to Lacus
"I'm glad that you're enjoying yourself, but it's not good to take the game too seriously, especially in your condition. You just suddenly passed out this morning; I wouldn't want that to happen again you know?" Lacus worryingly responded
Kira didn't say anything. Meanwhile, Cagalli entered the conversation
"If I'm not mistaken Lacus, that's Eugene Kinomoto, right?" Cagalli asked Lacus
"Yes, that is correct. Why?" Lacus ended with a question
"What do you mean WHY? You don't know? Remember, he is the one-" But before Cagalli could finish
"He's the one who has a huge crush on you…" Kira suddenly entered their talk
"Huh?..." Lacus uttered with a confused look
"Wah? You know?" Cagalli asked with a surprised tune
"Eugene Kinomoto. 16 years old, only son. Placed in the 4th row 5th column inside class 4-B. A close friend of Fllay Allster. Is there anything I forgot to say about him?" Kira stated ending a question looking at Athrun
"Nope. You spilled out everything…" Athrun teasingly replied
Cagalli and Lacus was speechless
"How did you know so much about that guy?" Cagalli asked
"Nothing…" Kira answer while tying his shoe laces
"That's unbelievable! And to think I thought you don't even know him" Cagalli amusingly responded
"Okay, time-outs over…" Their coach started. Then Cagalli and Athrun returned to their seats while Kira and Lacus returned to their game
"Kira…" Lacus started
"Yeah?" Kira answered
"Please, don't get yourself onto the game too much. Remember, you're not playing alone here…" Lacus replied
"Okay. Thanks…" Kira said with a smile while Lacus smiled back
"Listen Eugene, you don't' have to take it so personally you know…" said
"I know, I know. It's as if you're not taking it too personally, FLLAY ALLSTER" Eugene replied
"It's not that I don't take it personally, but still, this is but just a game anyway" Fllay defended
"Very well. But remember, this is our game. It's not just any ordinary game you've played" Eugene reminded
"Of course I know that…. 'It's our game alright… you better be ready Lacus. Cause this time, it's not only Eugene and Kira who's going to burn this court…' Fllay said to herself while looking threat fully at Lacus
Lacus on the other hand just ignored it. And the game continued.
After the change court, more and more the four of them show who's in control.
"They sure are serious about this match, are they?" Yzak started
"Beats me. I couldn't stand a foot if the games heating that much" Kuzzy answered
"Probably. Not to mention the look in their eyes, their pretty serious…" Nicol agreed
"Hopefully their game will end soon" Sai stated
"Game? You call that a game? Their not playing a game there, there fighting a WAR!" Dearka pathetically stated
"Knock it off Dearka, But still, they're all putting up a good game" Yzak patiently said
At last, the war, I mean game, is finally over. The score was 21 to 20.
"Luckily you two were only asked to play one round…" the coach started approaching Kira and Lacus and giving them both a big hug
"You two were awesome!" She then praised
Athrun and Cagalli then rushes to meet them while Yzak, Dearka, Sai, Kuzzy and Nicol head to their own businesses.
"That was fantastic!" Athrun greeted
"You two were totally cool!" Cagalli followed
". . . . Thanks…." Lacus replied
Meanwhile, Kira still isn't saying anything after the match. He just keeps on glaring at Eugene who in the other hand was also glaring at him. The match may be over but it seems like the heat between the two of them are still burning
"Kira…" Lacus started while patting Kira on the shoulder
Then he stopped glaring and focused his attention on Lacus
"Yeah…?" he answered
"Are you okay?"
"Of course I'm fine… congratulations…" Kira softly greeted offering a handshake
Then to his surprise, Lacus didn't take the handshake, instead, she gave Kira a hug
"Uh…" Kira uttered in surprise
Cagalli and Athrun were both surprised too
"We won… We WON!" Lacus shouted. Then Kira lifts her up and he turned around a couple of times circling like a child
Then they both laughed at each other. Cagalli and Athrun laughed alongside them too
After a few minutes… the audience were given the time to take a break
"Hey coach, I thought our game's next?" Cagalli asked
"Yes. But apparently, we were all given a break. Everyone will return here at 3pm and there, you're game will start" The coach explained
"Oh I see. Okay then, so we can take our snacks?" Cagalli again questioned
"Of course. But don't eat too much. You have a game, don't you forget that" The coach reminded
"I won't forget. See you later coach!" She then bids goodbye while heading towards Athrun, Kira and Lacus
"So when's our game?" Athrun started
"Everybody's given a break and is asked to return here at 3pm. There our game will take part. We should get some snacks too ay know" Cagalli replied
"I'll go buy some… Waddya guys want?" Athrun volunteered. Asking them what food do they want to eat.
"Wait a sec here. Just to clear things up. Were not supp-"But before Cagalli could finish her line
"We're not supposed to eat too much so to not get ourselves full before the game" Athrun continued
"Why is it that people these days never let me finish my line?" Cagalli aggressively mumbled
"Sorry…" Athrun quickly apologized
"That's okay. I'll come with you. Hey, Kira, Lacus, what do you guys want?" Cagalli asked
"I'll have a cheeseburger" Kira answered
"I'll have cheeseburger too…" Lacus replied
"Okay then, two cheeseburgers, coming up…" Cagalli jokingly stated and grabbed Athrun to the burger stand
And so, Kira and Lacus were left alone. They were currently inside the badminton gym, on one of the seats for the audiences. Suddenly, Kira started to cough continuously
"What's wrong Kira?" Lacus asked worryingly
"(Cough) nothing…" Kira answered
"Who do you think you're kidding? Here, drink some water" Lacus said while giving Kira a bottle of water
"Thanks... (Cough)"
Then Lacus gently patted his back finding out that it was soaking wet in sweat
The two didn't know that they're not completely alone inside the gym. Fllay was there, hiding in one corner
"Hey Kira…" Lacus started
"(cough) yeah?" Kira answered
"I don't know how it might sound to you… but…"
"(cough) what is it?"
"Could you take this off?" Lacus said while holding Kira shirt
"My… (cough), my shirt?" Kira said with quite a surprised tune
'What is that girl up to!' Fllay angrily thought
"Hey don't get me wrong. You're soaking wet. Maybe that's the reason why you're coughing constantly… You better change you know" Lacus explained
"I understand" Kira replied. He took off his shirt while Lacus assists him. After he took off his shirt, Lacus wipes off his sweat.
'What the hell?' Fllay said to herself. 'You have a way Lacus… but still, he's mine! I'll make sure of that!' She then went away
Luckily, Lacus has a jacket (A big one) inside her gym bag. She put it on Kira for the meantime
"For the meantime, you wear that. I'll go get you another shirt…" Lacus said. But before Lacus could stand up, Kira pulled her back to seat again
"….Huh?" Lacus thought
"I'll go get it. You've done so much Lacus. Now, you stay here. I bet Athrun and Cagalli would be back any minute soon. I'll go get a new shirt. I still have one inside my locker, okay?" Kira said with a smile
"Okay." Lacus replied with a smile
On the way to the locker room, Kira and Eugene met each other. Well actually, Eugene was waiting for him
"I was waiting for you, Kira Yamato" Eugene stated
"And why would you be waiting for me?" Kira asked
"I challenge you…" Eugene boastfully replied
"Challenge? Why? For what?" Kira confusingly asked
"No more questions. I just want you to know that she's not yours…" Eugene answered
"She's not yours- what are you talking about? I don't' understand you Eugene"
"I don't believe that you're Lacus' boyfriend now. You can't fool me"
"So then… this is about Lacus…" Kira said with an angry face
"You're right. We'll settle things up. Then we'll see who the right one for her is"
Kira didn't answer. But still, this considers Lacus and not just nobody
"Well then Kira, what do you say? Afraid?" Eugene boastfully challenged
"I'm not onto fighting others for it is one of the least things I ever wanted to do in my whole life. But if it considers someone so important to me, you called the right person" Kira said with quite an anger voice but speaks calmly
"Very well then, tomorrow morning, at the badminton court, 8:00 sharp. I'll see you there"
Lacus-destiny: Well that's all for the 6th chappy. Sorry, but I think it's quite short. I really have to cut it up to here. I'll try to update soon. Well, if you were Kira… would you accept the challenge? Well, I would. Please, read and review and thanks a lot for reading. God Bless! Any comments, suggestions or even notes just tell me. Thanks again. Ciao! Ü
