Chapter 9: Eugene vs. Kira
Cagalli and Athrun finally let their feelings out in the most unexpected circumstances… Lucky for them, things are going on smoothly. Well actually, things are not as smooth as they seem to think. Remember, Christine is still around and she can really mess up everything. Meanwhile…
"Where have you two been?" Lacus started
"Oh… Hi Lacus! I see you're back" Cagalli answered
"Where's Kira?" Athrun interrogated
"I don't know. I just arrived here a few moments ago. I thought he was here" Lacus answered
"I thought you followed him" Athrun answered
"I did, but when I got into the clinic, he's not there so I decided to go back here" Lacus finished with a sad face
Cagalli and Athrun smiled as they started teasing Lacus
"Worried, my dearest best friend?" Cagalli started
"What else would she be Cagalli…" Athrun followed
"Oh that's just great you guys!" Lacus burst in irritation and ran away
"Oh! L-Lacus!" Cagalli shouted out onto her but she kept running until she was out of sight
"Goodness…" Athrun sighed
"She normally just smiles when we're teasing her. How come she acted so differently?" Cagalli thought
"Maybe she really is so worried…" Athrun supported. He and Cagalli looked at each other. Afterwards, he and Cagalli sat on the benches as they saw Kira approaching
"LACUS! WHERE'S LACUS?" Kira came on in a hurry
"Whoa! Keep it down bro…" Cagalli replied
"Yeah buddy… What's up?" Athrun followed
"I need Lacus! Where is she?" Kira replied hastily
"Why would you be…?" but before Cagalli could end her question
"JUST TELL ME WHERE SHE IS!" Kira shouted
Cagalli frowned as Athrun stated
"Watch it Kira! You don't need to shout…" Athrun defended
"I'm really sorry, but I gotta see her right now! Please, tell me if you've seen her!" Kira followed
"She was just here a minute ago. But then she ran off when we teased her a bit. She looked so depressed and so sad. I think she was sad because she thought she might see you here but she didn't…" Cagalli answered
"Do you have any idea where she might have run to?" Kira asked worryingly
"No. She ran out using the front door…" Athrun answered
"Thanks! I'll clear everything to you two later!" Kira bid even before Cagalli and Athrun could say a word
"I wonder what's going on…" Cagalli uttered
"Whatever it is, I'm getting worried…" Athrun followed
It was 10mins before 5 in the evening. Dismissal was 5:30. Lacus wondered around hoping to see the one she was looking for. As she turned at one corner, she was surprised; Eugene was there leaning on the wall
"Um…" Lacus thought of a word to say
"Hi Lacus…" he started as he approached her
"Eu-Eugene…" she uttered
Eugene smiled as she uttered his name
"You know, you really look like a goddess…" he started as Lacus looked down
". . . . . . ." Lacus thought blankly
Lacus started walking around, but Eugene just kept on following her. Until she stopped at the school pavilion; depressed. There was a fountain in the middle and some benches around it.
Lacus sat at one end of a bench blankly. Eugene sat on the other side looking at her
"I was thinking…" Eugene started but Lacus moved no muscle at all
"I heard that your school is going to hold a ball for all varsities… I'm pretty sure you're aware about it…"
"No… I haven't heard about it yet" Lacus replied, still as blank as she was
"Oh, is that so… As far as I know, this was just announced this afternoon…"
"Oh, I see…"
"Why do you sound so blank? Was it something I said?"
"Why do you speak as if you know me that much?" Lacus replied with a question that puzzled Eugene's mind
"I'm sorry if I appear as that to you…" He quickly apologized. He again stared at her with great admiration. Lacus looked nowhere but to her feet even though she is very much aware of the eyes staring at her
Kira looked here and there, hoping that he'll soon see the figure he's been searching for. He then arrived at the pavilion and saw Lacus sitting. His eyes stretched on the other side of the bench seeing his least liked person
'What is he doing here? And why is he with her?' Kira thought as he approached Lacus
Lacus and Eugene on the other hand didn't notice that Kira was approaching them. Still as blank as the moment she saw Eugene, Lacus stood up
"Huh? What's the matter?" Eugene interrogated
"If I'm an ice, maybe I've melted minutes ago. Why are you staring at me in such manner?" Lacus answered as she looked at him
'Her eyes… They're looking at me… Those gems inside are glittering. She look so beautiful' his thoughts were bothered by a certain voice
"Lacus!" Kira shouted as Lacus looked at his direction
'Her eyes… They're not on me anymore…' Eugene faintly thought as he stood up and smirked on Kira
Kira grinned seeing Eugene's face
"Kira…" Lacus replied as Kira stood next to her
"What were you doing here? I was looking all over for you..." Kira answered in a worried tone
"I was just talking to her about the ball…" Eugene interrupted
Kira looked at him angrily while Lacus held his shoulder and tries to calm him down. Her eyes were like they're talking and telling him to calm down
"I see you've heard about the ball as well…" Kira replied
"And I was wondering if you could go to the ball with me, Lacus…" Eugene ended up and glanced at Kira's irritated face
Lacus wasn't able to readily respond. Soon, Kira spoke
"She can't go with you…" he said boastfully as Lacus clutched Kira's shoulder
"What are you talking about?" Eugene replied
"She's going to the ball with me" Kira answered
"What…?" Eugene asked angrily
Lacus didn't say anything at all. Surely, she'll really go with Kira if he'd ask her
"Is it true? I doubt it…" Eugene bragged
"Then don't believe if you don't want to…"
"Prove it" Eugene ended coldly
"Kira…" Lacus spoke
Eugene gave out a devilish smile
"If you don't mind Lacus, I'd like to make our game tomorrow more interesting…" Eugene followed
"What do you mean?" Lacus asked worryingly
Then Eugene stood up and went closer to Lacus as Kira smirked
"I mean…" Eugene continued
Kira felt an urged inside him telling him to hit Eugene as hard as he can but Lacus clutched tighter
'Lacus… If only she's not here, that Eugene's long dead!' Kira thought as Eugene finished his statement
"Whoever between me and Kira wins the game tomorrow… he'll be the one you'll go with to the ball"
Kira grew angrier as Lacus faced frowned
"How dare you decide for her…?" Kira uttered angrily
"What is it Kira? What's the matter? Are you chickening out?" Eugene replied boastfully with a devilish smile
"Kira, Eugene, would you two please cut it out!" Lacus stated
"I'm sorry my dearest goddess, but this is a matter only between the two of us…." Eugene smoothly stated
'Y-Your goddess?' Kira thought angrily
"So what Kira? I bet you're just afraid because you know that you have no chance of beating me" Eugene bragged
"Eugene that's enough! I haven't…" not able to continue her lines, Lacus was surprised as Kira replied
"I'll beat you…"
Eugene gave out a more daring look
"Kira…" Lacus followed in concern. She got even more worried when Kira walked closer to Eugene and grab Eugene's neckline
"Hn…!" Eugene smiled as Kira clutched tighter
"And one more thing…" Kira continued
"What is it?" Eugene replied
"She's not yours… so never ever call her 'your goddess'…" Kira whispered as he let go of Eugene
"Kira please, stop it…." Lacus grabbed onto Kira's hand
'Lacus…! Why would she hold his hand? I hate you Kira! Damn it!' Eugene thought
Kira was so angry he let go of Lacus' hand
"I'll see you tomorrow" Kira ended coldly as he walked away, leaving Lacus behind
Lacus showed a very depressed face
"You don't need to be sad about it" Eugene started
"I didn't approve to this!" Lacus angrily replied
"Lacus…"
"Look, I want you guys to quit the fight! There will be no fight between you and Kira tomorrow, is that clear?"
"I'm sorry Lacus but I cannot do that…" Eugene answered as Lacus showed a questioning face
"And why not? Look, it is my decision who I wanted to go to the ball with… It does not gonna be decided on how your match tomorrow will be…" Lacus explained, trying to clear things up with Eugene
"Please Lacus, just let us fight. This is a way of us of proving to you how much we-" But before he could finish
"I don't care! Just quit the game!"
"I'm sorry, but the game will take place tomorrow. And I will win it…." Eugene ended and walked away as Lacus took out a deep sigh
'What am I gonna do? I can't stop them…' she problematically thought as she went to their classroom to pick up her things. It was 5:25pm
As Lacus entered the room, she found Cagalli and Athrun inside along with some of their classmates. Cagalli approached her with a very worried face
"Um, Lacus... I'm really sorry for teasing you a moment ago. I really didn't mean it. I swear, I won't tease you again. I'm really sorry…" Cagalli apologized as Lacus smiled at her
"Don't worry. You don't have to apologize…" She said with a smile
"Ya sure you're not angry with us?" Athrun followed
"Who told you that I'm angry with you guys?" Lacus asked
"You mean… you're not angry with us?" Cagalli followed
"No…" Lacus smiled as she sat down her chair while Athrun and Cagalli followed her. Cagalli sat on the chair beside Lacus while Athrun stood behind Cagalli
Lacus gave out a weak sigh as Cagalli and Athrun looked at each other, knowing that there's something wrong
"What's the matter Lacus? You look troubled…" Cagalli started
Lacus lay her head on top of her desk
"What am I gonna do?" Lacus problematically asked
Cagalli and Athrun again looked at each other, confused
"Why? What's up?" Athrun followed
"How am I going to stop Kira and Eugene?" Lacus replied leaning back to her chair
"Stop them in doing what? Is it about the badminton game tomorrow?" Cagalli asked
Lacus nodded as Cagalli and Athrun smiled
"You know Lacus…" Athrun started
"You can't stop them" Cagalli continued
"Why is that?" Lacus replied
"Boys like us are mostly like that. We never turn down a challenge. Especially, when we're fighting for someone special…" Athrun continued
Lacus gave out a confused face
"What's so confusing Lacus?" Cagalli asked
"I don't get it. What's the point of fighting if they could just talk…? Besides, what do you mean by 'someone special'? Who's special? Who's special to who?" Lacus replied
Athrun and Cagalli slightly giggled
"What's so funny?" Lacus followed
"You're still not aware, aren't you?" Cagalli replied
"What do you mean?"
"No, nothing… Just forget what I've said…" Cagalli ended. Lacus sighed even deeper
"Don't worry Lacus. They're just gonna play a badminton game, it's not like a war that blood will flow…" Athrun suggested
"Yeah he's right… And besides, there's nothing wrong of whoever wins or losses... 'Although I want in to be Kira…'…." Cagalli finished
"There is something wrong about who will be the winner…" Lacus followed
"Yeah, there is Cagalli…" Athrun agreed
"What is it then?" Cagalli replied, wearing a questioning look towards Athrun
"Of course, Lacus would rather have Kira as the winner, right Lacus?" Athrun turned, talking to Lacus
Lacus nodded as Cagalli agreed
"I admit I want Kira to win but…" Lacus continued
"But what?" Cagalli followed
"Eugene told him that whoever wins the game tomorrow will be my date on the ball…" Lacus finished
"Ball? What ball? I haven't heard about it…" Athrun asked
"Oh I know what you meant! Mir just told me… I've talked with her moments ago… She said that our school will be holding a ball for the varsities…" Cagalli explained
"That is correct…" Lacus agreed
"Is that really…" Athrun wondered twiddling his fingers below his chin
"Back to the topic Lacus, what do you mean? Is it like, the winner of the game tomorrow will be your escort on the ball?" Cagalli cleared
Lacus nodded as the couple frowned
"I hate it… It's a matter not for them to decide…" Lacus stated angrily
"Now, now Lacus… Just relax…" Cagalli calmed
"If you were to ask, who would you want to be your date?" Athrun asked
"Well, I…" but before Lacus could answer, Kira entered the classroom
"Oh! Hi there my dearest brother!" Cagalli greeted
"Hey buddy…" Athrun followed
Cagalli stood up to give way for Kira
(Oh, sorry I haven't told you… Lacus and Kira were seatmates while Cagalli sits behind Lacus and Athrun sits behind Kira)
As Kira sat, Lacus suddenly stood up
"Where're you going?" Cagalli interrogated
"I'm gonna go get my things at the gym…" Lacus answered coldly as Kira looked at her worryingly
"What's wrong Lacus?" Kira asked but Lacus did not reply. She didn't even looked at him
"Hey wait up! I'll go with you… See ya later guys…" Cagalli followed as she walked with Lacus and went out of the classroom
"Was it something I said?" Kira wondered
"Actually buddy… I think I know why she behaved as such…" Athrun stated as he sat on his seat
"Why?" Kira asked, clueless
"I won't tell you. Besides, I'm not the one in the right place to say it…" Athrun replied
"Oh, come on man!" Kira insisted but Athrun didn't change his decision
"Just do your best in your game tomorrow… It's not a big joke…" Athrun stated. Athrun's words someone woke Kira back to his senses
"Did she tell you about the deal?" Kira asked
"Yap…" Athrun answered
"Maybe that's the reason why she got angry. We didn't even give her a chance to say something… Aw man!" Kira ended up awfully, hitting his desk
"Hey cool it man" Athrun calmed
"Darn it! I knew I shouldn't have let myself get carried away!" Kira stated in irritation
Athrun patted his bestfriend
"Don't worry buddy… I'm sure she understands. She's just upset because she doesn't want the two of you to fight" Athrun explained
"I hope you're right Athrun…" Kira sighed
"Don't let it get you! I know you'll beat that Eugene… And give Lacus the best victory!" Athrun ended as Kira gave a weak smile
(Meanwhile, let's see what the girls are talking about…)
"Come on Lacus, you shouldn't feel that bad about it" Cagalli started as they began picking up their gym bags
"What else should I feel?"
"Well, I can say you should feel pretty…" Cagalli joked
"Cagalli, this is no time for jokes like that!" Lacus replied
"Right, sorry… I'm just trying to lighten things up. You look as if you're carrying the world" Cagalli stated
"To be honest, sometimes I think it would be better to carry the world. OOOH! I don't like this at all!" Lacus stated in irritation
"Still, look on the brighter side…"
"What brighter side?"
"You still possess the ace… Whatever the results may be in the game tomorrow, it's still up to you if you would agree to go to the ball with the winner, right?"
"Yeah, I think you're right."
"But… it would be quite unfair though…"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, they're gonna fight with all of their might because they want to have you as their date. I'm not hoping that this'll happen, but what if Eugene wins? It'll be like submerging him on boiling water if you'd say no… right?"
"That is one point…"
"But still, worry not! Kira's gonna do his best, for sure!" Cagalli confidently ended as she patted Lacus' in a friendly manner
"I hope you're right Cagalli" Lacus replied as they went on their way back to the classroom
"Tsk! This is the only problem of us beautiful…" Cagalli joked as they entered the classroom. Lacus giggled a bit as she saw Kira, approaching her. Meanwhile, as Kira approaches, Cagalli walked towards Athrun and Athrun grabbed Cagalli's bag
"I'll carry that" Athrun stated
"Well, thank you" Cagalli jokingly replied
Back to Kira and Lacus
"Um… Lacus…" Kira started hesitantly. He was so scared that Lacus may hate him
Lacus looked at him as he blushed
"Yes, Kira?" Lacus replied
Kira blushed even more; he's blushing so much he could even utter a word
"Are you blushing?" Lacus followed with a wondering smile
"Um…" Kira uttered as Lacus hit him jokingly on the head
"Ouch! What was that for?" Kira snapped out of being reddish and finally spoke
"You must win that game tomorrow" Lacus stated seriously
"Lacus…" he uttered
"Or else…"
"Or else, what?"
"Eugene will be my date to the ball…"
"What! LACUS!"
"That's why I'm telling you… You have no choice but to win that game"
"Humph! Who do you think you're talking to?" Kira boastfully replied
"What's that!"
"I'm Kira Yamato! And there's no way I'll let that jerk win!" Kira ended with a confident smile
"Okay then…" Lacus replied as she walked towards the door "Don't worry, I'm on your side…" she finished, leaving Kira as he blushes
Kira smiled as he watches Lacus went out of his sight. After that he gave a touchy sigh while Cagalli and Athrun approach him
"Well, well, well… what do we have here?" Cagalli started
"You sound like a villain sis…" Kira replied
"What's that!"
"No… Nothing…." Kira insulted
"On the other hand, I don't mind. Go on, tease me. I'm not the one in trouble… besides, I'm good at playing BADMINTON, I'm pretty confident that whenever I play, I won't easily LOSE…" Cagalli countered as Kira's eyes widened
"Thanks a lot, that's just what I need!" Kira angrily replied
"Don't worry Kira, I'm sure you'll beat him" Athrun stated as he turned to Cagalli
"And stop teasing the guy… He needs all the help he could get. If I were in his position, I'd be dead…" Athrun supported
"Yeah you bet you're dead! Cause I won't let anybody else be my date but you, got it!" As Cagalli replied, Kira looked at her and Athrun wearing a surprised face
"Is that really you Cagalli?" Kira started
"Ah… eh…" Cagalli uttered as she started to blush; Athrun blushed as well
"Oh I get it…"
"Wha-what are you talking about?" Cagalli followed
"You two can't hide anything from me…" Kira patted Athrun's back friendlily
"I know you can take care of my sister. I trust you buddy…" Kira ended, smiling at the couple
"Kira…" Cagalli uttered
"And as for you my dearest sister…" He again started
"Huh?" Cagalli wondered
"Act more lady-like. You're in a relationship now, so don't mess up as before… Got it lil sis?" Kira ended
"Yeah, right… ah!" Cagalli then shouted in surprise as Kira sneaked out of the classroom
"Why? What's the matter?" Athrun followed
"Darn it! I can't believe that I answered yes when he called me lil sis!" Cagalli stubbornly reasoned as she mopes like a child. Athrun can't help but laugh seeing his princess' cute face
AT LACUS' HOUSE
It was late past nine in the evening as Lacus tucked into bed. Thinking about what might happen tomorrow, she closed her eyes and thought
'Please… Let it be Kira… I want him to win…' She prayed as she tried her best to sleep worry-free. But before she could enter dream land, her cellphone rang. She answered it groggily since she was about to get into deep sleep
CALL:
"He-Hello?" she spoke softly
"Ah… sorry to wake you up…" the caller apologized
"Sorry, but I feel quite messy… forgive me, but who is this?"
"It's me, Kira…"
As he answered, Lacus was suddenly lightened
"Oh, hi Kira…"
"You do seem like you're sleepy… I'm really sorry for calling you this late of the night"
"That's okay. Is there something wrong?"
"No-nothing really. It's just that…"
"What is it?"
"I just can't manage to put myself into sleep…"
Lacus giggled which made Kira blush
"What's so funny?" He asked bashfully
"Nothing. You just sound so cute"
Her lines made him blush even more
"Nonsense…" he replied shyly
"No, it's not. You really sound cute, I swear"
"No kidding?"
"Nope…" Lacus giggled more
"Gee… I don't know what to say… Oh! You're giggling like that again"
"Don't mind my giggles… I'm just glad…"
"And what might have made you glad?"
"Nothing important; never mind. Hey wait a sec, something's bothering you… Am I right?"
"Ah…"
"What is it? You can tell me…"
"It's nothing…" Kira hesitated
"Then I'll hang up now…"
"No wait!"
"Huh?"
"Please don't hang up… not yet…" Kira begged
"I'm just joking… Come on; tell me what's bothering you… Tell me now, please…" she replied sweetly
"Well it's…"
"Is it about your match tomorrow?"
"Well, ah…"
"Oh Kira… well anyway, I admit I'm quite worried as well…"
"Sorry if we didn't even give you a chance to say something. Of course it's something you must decide on but…"
"Don't worry; I don't see that it's yours or Eugene's fault. I understand you guys…"
"Lacus…"
"I later realized that, there's no point of stopping you because, you two will not quit it. SO I guess there's no choice but to agree with you guys. That way, maybe things will be lighter on your part"
"You know sometimes, that is what I hated most about you"
"Hated? Hate what?"
"You're just too kind and understanding. Even though you're getting all bothered and affected by the situation, you'd rather consider the sake of others"
Lacus laughed sweetly
"There you go again; laughing and giggling like a kid. I don't see anything funny with what I've said, I'm serious here!"
"I know…" she giggled
"Then what's funny?"
"I didn't know that being kind and understanding may be irritating sometimes… hehe"
"Oh Lacus…"
"AS what I've said, I'm on your side"
"What if I lose…?"
"If you lose, then you lose. There's nothing we can do about it"
"Lacus!"
"What? I'm telling the truth…" then she smiled "I'm counting on you Kira. Don't fail me…" she continued. Her words roamed inside Kira's head
"Just be there for me, and everything will be A-Okay!" Kira confidently answered
"I'll be there"
"I won't let that Eugene win…" he ended
"Fine then… I trust you, remember that…"
"Yeah... sorry again for waking you up"
"That's okay…"
"Thanks for your time. Good night!"
"Good night"
"Bye…" as Kira ended, they both hang up
END CALL
Lacus looked at her cellphone and turned it off. She closed her eyes deeply, hoping for a good sleep
'Good luck. I'm counting on you. Kira… Please, guide and let him win' she ended her thoughts and prayers as she finally went to sleep
THE NEXT DAY
This is the day! WAAH! Hehehehe… The day Kira and Eugene has been waiting for. School is up and games were arranged perfectly for the games on the second day of the intramurals
Kira and Cagalli arrived first as Athrun followed. Inside the classroom, Cagalli and Athrun chatted with Kira for a while to give him some advices
"Best advice I could give you bro…" Cagalli started
"What?"
"Don't ever take the game with hot head. You'll get to nowhere if you do that"
"Um.., think I know what you meant. I can see what I'll be in if I get all angry" Kira ended up with a smile as Lacus came in
"Morning…" she greeted as she approached the three
"Good morning!" Cagalli and Athrun greeted back
"Morning" Kira greeted as well
Lacus smiled at him sweetly and he somehow blushed again
At 7:00 in the morning, they all went to the badminton court to practice. Cagalli played a single game at 7:30 and takes the victory. After a few more minutes, finally, it's 8:00. Kira sat on a bench and Lacus sat beside him
"You ready?" Lacus asked cheerfully
"I think…" Kira replied unconfidently
"What's wrong? Come on Kira, be confident! You can do it!" Lacus encouraged as Kira smiled at her. Soon, Eugene arrived with Fllay
"OOOH! What is that girl doing here!" Cagalli irritably stated
"Hold on Cagalli…" Athrun interrupted
"What?"
"Fllay is Eugene cousin, right?"
"Yeah so…?"
"Never mind" he ended.
Finally the game is up, as Kira stood, Lacus smiled at him. Eugene was so envy that he hardly throw the racket
"Good luck!" Lacus cheerfully finished as she, Athrun and Cagalli sat with the audiences
"You go bro!" Cagalli added as Fllay looked at her with daring eyes
"Kick that jerk's face off this court!" Cagalli rooted
Fllay just snubbed her as she watches her cousin flame in anger
"That's it Eugene… Lacus is yours while I'll have Kira" Fllay uttered as she smiled devilishly
"Well, let's get this show on the road!" Eugene bragged as the game started
(Again, I'm not really good at stating game details even though I'm a varsity of badminton before. I'm really sorry! Hehehehe)
At first, Kira was having a hard time in adjusting the situation. Come to think of it, Eugene does have an advantage, but we all know that Kira won't just give up. They are to play only one-set
Then, they change courts in favor of Eugene's score. The score was 14-8 and Eugene was up by 3. Kira is getting worried because he's loosing his concentration for Eugene was giving him hard smashes. Soon after, the score is 18-12, still in favor of Eugene.
As the score was in favor of him, Eugene was pretty confident as he glances at Lacus every now and then. On the other hand, Kira is starting to get irritated of Eugene's insulting manners
"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Darn it! Kira's loosing! AW! I hate this!" Cagalli stated in irritation
"Don't get to carried Cagalli. The game still isn't finish. Kira still has a chance"
"Yeah right; if he don't so something quickly, he'll sink! DARN IT KIRA! WHAT'S HAPPENING TO YOU?" Cagalli shouted as Kira started worrying
"Cagalli!" Athrun tried to calm her
Lacus was silent the whole time. Obviously, she's very much worried
'Oh Kira…' she uttered as she prays for his victory
"SHUT IT CAGALLI! I WON'T BE ABLE TO CONCENTRATE IF YOU KEEP ON SHOUTING! DARN IT SUCKS!" Kira shouted at Cagalli as he continued the game
'What am I gonna do. This jerk is good. DAMN! I hate this!' Kira thought as he looked at Lacus when Eugene was about to serve
Lacus' face shows fear and worrying; and Kira easily reads her mind
'No... I can't let her down. I can't!' he shouted to himself as he prepared for the serve
"KIRA!" Lacus couldn't keep her silence anymore and shouted out the name of the most important person in her life
Lacus' shout disturbed Eugene's concentration as he served. Kira heard her voice and got up his senses. YAAY! Finally, getting back to the game, Kira got a boost of confidence as Lacus cheered him. Eugene on the other hand, started getting irritated by the situation as Kira's score started to rise. Finally, it was a game of pure determination and wellness, but there can only be one winner…
Smiling as he catches hardly for his breath, Kira smiled as the game was over. The score was 21-19
"KIRA!" Lacus shouted out in joy as she hugged Kira. Kira smiled as he hugged her tightly. Eugene was so in despair as Fllay approached him
"I knew I shouldn't count on you…" Fllay stated as Eugene looked at her angrily
"Shut up!" he shouted as Fllay raised an eyebrow
"My poor cousin… You're not an inch close to what I can do…"
"What do you mean?"
"Just you wait and see… Worry not, that little goddess of yours will soon be in your possession" Fllay spoke out confidently, glaring at Lacus
"What are you talking about?"
"Patience my dear, patience" she ended as she walked out of the court. Eugene on the other hand approached Kira
"See what I've told you! I told you you'll win!" Lacus greeted as they broke their hug, seeing Eugene as he approached
"Eugene…" Kira uttered as Lacus smiled at the person approaching them
"That was a great game" Kira started, offering a hand shake
Eugene hesitantly reached for the hand shake without saying anything
"Nice game" Lacus followed
Eugene drew himself nearer Lacus as Kira frowned
"What the-?" Kira uttered as Eugene whispered to Lacus "I'm still not finished" then he went towards Kira
"I'll still have her…" he smirked as Kira glared at him
"I'm not scared of you. I'll always be around for her" Kira replied as Eugene walked coldly out of their sight
"Whew! What was that!" Cagalli started as she and Athrun approached Kira and Lacus
"A blow of cold wind I guess…" Kira joked
"Yeah right darn you! You got me so worried!" Cagalli poked on Kira
"HEY!" Kira complained while Lacus and Athrun laughed
"You could take his head off clear from his shoulders in the first place, why wait for him to get his points ahead of you! You fool!" Cagalli countered
"Hey, I won didn't I? So what's your problem!" Kira reasoned
"Oh blah, blah, blah!" Cagalli insulted
"Oh yeah!" Kira replied back
"Come on stop it you two…" Lacus interrupted
"HUMPH!" Kira and Cagalli both stubbornly uttered as they turned their backs on each other
Athrun scratched the back of his face, posing out a fake smile as Lacus sighed
Then, moments later, Kira and Cagalli both laughed.
"Wha?" Athrun thought in confusion
Lacus just giggled despite of her confusion
"You sure showed him bro!" Cagalli again started
"Yeah, I know! Thanks for cheering!" Kira replied as they all laughed
"You guys…" Athrun uttered as they all celebrated
