CHAPTER 14

The girls couldn't believe what they had just heard. The strong Shiho was in fact strongly hurt inside and they never saw any signs of weakness. They stay on the roof for hours Lacus still stroking Shiho's hair and Miriallia still holding on to her hand. When noon approached, Lacus decided that it was time for them to move.

"We better go back, we already are in much trouble for missing the morning classes and I'm sure the guys are worried."

"Don't worry about the morning classes; I'll go talk to the principal." Replied Cagalli, who knew Shiho's parents had told her all about what happened to their daughter in her previous school.

"I don't want to go," complained Shiho, "they will all stare at me as if I really was a murderer."

Cagalli sighed. She understood her friend but at the same time, knew that hiding wasn't the answer.

"If you disappear for the day people will really think you have something to be ashamed of. So you'll come with us, have a good lunch, Yzak will give you a big smack and you'll be all cheered up for this afternoon."

The girls laughed at the blonde's comment. Shiho wiped her last tears and followed her friends to the cafeteria. As soon as they passed the door, Yzak was on them. He took Shiho in his arms and hugged her for a good two minutes.

Lacus and Miriallia watched as Dearka's mouth fell open.

"What the hell is going on?" he asked shocked at his best friend action.

They all sat at the table, students curiously staring at them and more particularly at Shiho who was trying to make herself as small as she could.

"Shiho are you ok?" asked a worried Kira.

"Yeah, I'm all right, thanks." She then turned to Dearka and frowned. "Better than Dearka. What happened to you?"

All the girls turned to Dearka to see his lower lip swollen and his eyes circled with blue.

"Dearka fighted with his lovely roommate." Explained Yzak, still holding Shiho's hand.

"What?" Miriallia looked at him in disbelief. "You fight with Tolle?! Why?"

Dearka crossed his arms and pouted.

"I don't want to tell you. Tell me instead why nobody seems to be shocked to see Yzak and Shiho acting love-love?"

"I didn't want you to know. I knew your big mouth would have betrayed us." Stated Yazk seriously.

"I am your BEST friend!" Dearka was more and more shocked.

"He is not completely wrong Yzak." Athrun defended Dearka.

"Oh, you're one talk, aren't you?"

"What does that mean?"

"It means that you're not that honest with your best friend neither." Yzak was loosing his temper by now.

"I have nothing to hide to Kira!" Athrun was getting irritated as well.

"Oh yeah? So why didn't you tell your best friend how you screwed his little sister last summer?"

"Yzak!" Shiho tried to stop him but to late. All their friends had already heard him and were now looking from Cagalli to Athrun.

Cagalli chuckled in her food and Lacus had to give her gentle taps on the back to help her swallow her food.

"You did WHAT?" Kira exploded. Kira's fist was turning into a ball.

"So the couple we saw that night was you?" Lacus said more to herself than to the others.

Cagalli for once was really quiet. She knew she was wrong and saying something would only irritate her brother some more.

"Look Kira, we didn't do it intentionally. We were drunk and that's it." Explained Athrun.

"Oh yeah, right!" Kira mocked.

Cagalli chose to go help her boyfriend as it didn't seemed right to let him endure Kira's anger alone.

"Kira, stop it already! We made a mistake, we know it."

Kira suddenly turned to his sister as if he just remembered she was here for the first time. He then took his tray, got up and walked away from the group. Lacus got up as well.

"I better go with him."

Cagalli and Athrun turned to Yzak.

"Are you happy now?" shouted Cagalli. "If it wasn't for Shiho, I would punch you in the face."

"Feel free to do so, Cag." Replied Shiho, waving her hand to say that it was ok with her.

The couple got up as well and Miriallia and Shiho followed. Dearka and Yzak were the ones left at the table and turned their back to each other.

"I'm sorry Cagalli, I shouldn't have told Yzak." Shiho was feeling responsible for the mess they were in and Cagalli didn't have the will to make her feel more despair than she already was.

"It's ok don't worry. Kira would have known one day or another. Let's go to the principal's office to explain why we missed class this morning or we will get in even more trouble if that is even possible."

"Didn't I tell you this morning that I felt like this day was going to be shit!"

"He knew, I'm sure of it. And did you see how he hugged her? I can't believe it! I'm not letting him go away with it, no way. I'm going to talk to him! " Flay shouted.

"Isn't that a bit dangerous?" asked Meer who was more than happy to see that the happy group of friends had split up.

"Come on Meer, I'm his fiancée, he can't harm me!"

"I you say so…"

Days went on and the group still hadn't reunited. Kira wouldn't talk to Athrun or his sister, Yzak and Dearka all the same, and Miriallia was still very angry at Dearka. Cagalli and Athrun didn't want to see Yzak for now.

"Come on guys," said Lacus one morning, "don't you think it's time to reconcile?"

"Why don't you say that to Kira? He is the one not talking to us." Replied Athrun.

"I already tried, but he wouldn't listen to anything I say."

Miriallia then entered the cafeteria, Tolle on her heels. He grabbed her wrist to make her stop.

"Come on, Miriallia. I am not the one who started it so why should I be the one punished?"

"Oh yeah? But you did fight, right?"

"It was self defense, I-"

He didn't continue as Miriallia was already walking away and approaching her friend. Tolle decided that it was wiser to stay away from them, especially Cagalli.

Miriallia sat down and sighed.

"When is this guy going to understand that right now I don't feel like talking to him? Even the other moron has stopped trying."

The "other moron" chose this moment to enter and went to sit next to Miriallia. She sighed once again and got up before leaving the cafeteria.

Dearka sighed and then Lacus at the stupidity of the whole situation.

Later that day, Dearka was moping in the hall of the school when he decided that something was really wrong with him. For the past week, he hadn't been checking out girls and even the charms of Megumi didn't produce anything on him. His now yellow circled eye caught a glimpse of silver hair. He turned his head and saw Yzak passing by and decided to run after him.

"Hey, Yzak!" he called. Yzak stopped and turned frowning.

"What do you want?" he said rather abruptly.

"I need your help, something doesn't go the way it should and it's starting to seriously bug me."

"You're not angry at me anymore?"

"We both know that I'll eventually give up being angry with you so I might as well stop now." Reasoned Dearka.

Yzak sighed. He knew this would happen. Dearka could never be angry at anyone for too long.

"So, what's wrong?"

"Miriallia. She's angry at me, but I didn't do anything wrong. But what is really getting me mad is that I don't understand why it bothers me this much that she doesn't want to talk to me anymore."

Yzak frowned, trying to make sense of what his friends was telling him.

"Earlier Megumi asked me if I wanted to have some fun with her and I said no." Dearka continued completely shocked by his own behavior.

"Dearka, open your eyes." Yzak cried at his friend, "You care about this girl more than any other and now you're even worried about what she might think of you if she sees you with one of those sluts you like so much. You even fight with your roommate because of her."

"So?" asked Dearka, still not getting what his friend was telling him.

"So," Yzak continued angrier, "you like her."

Dearka put his hands in front of him in a defensive way.

"No, no, no, no, no! I'm not interested in her. She's absolutely not my type."

"The physic doesn't make a person Dearka."

"Hey, watch your tongue, Milly is cute in her own way!"

Yzak couldn't help but smile. His friend was really something. Once second Miriallia wasn't his type, next second he was founding her cute.

Yzak decided to change his approach.

"All those girls you go out with, are they somewhat interesting?" Yzak asked, trying to make Dearka realized that they weren't worth it.

"No, actually they're quite boring. Our conversations are limited at 'Do you think I'm pretty?', and other stuff like that."

"And with Miriallia?"

"Well Milly is different. She has an opinion on everything. It's so easy to tease her. And she's getting really excited when she speaks about stuff she likes. It's really funny."

"So, do you prefer spending your time with a girl you enjoy talking with, or a girl who has not ten words in her vocabulary?" This guy was really slow to understand. Yzak watch is friend as realization hit him.

"Oh my God, I actually failed for a girl." Dearka couldn't believe it. He never failed for any girl before. For him, it had always been some kind of game.

"What am I going to do?"

Yzak continued his way to the common room where Shiho was supposed to wait for him. He was happy that Dearka had stopped being angry with him. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't see Flay heading straight to him. When she stopped right in front of him, he looked up and at the sight of his lovely fiancée, he made a face.

"Yzak! I have enough of your behavior! You have to stop this relation with this murderer." Flay said very angry.

Yzak was very calmed until he heard the word murderer. Anybody would call his girlfriend that would be in great trouble. He grabbed Flay's wrist and twisted it until she was on her knees. He let go of her and enter the room leaving Flay behind, on the floor.

"You'll pay for this Yzak!" she murmured to herself.

Dearka spotted Miriallia walking toward the photography club and walked to her.

"Milly?"

She span around looking angrily at him.

"It's Miriallia for you!" She turned and continued walking to the photography club. He walked behind her until she stopped.

"Are you going to follow me for long?"

"Until you agree to talk to me."

Miriallia sighed. She better listen to him right now if that makes him leave. She turned, crossed her arms on her chest and waited for him to speak.

"I'm sorry. I don't know what I did to make you this angry. I'm sure you're not this mad because of the kiss, so what for?"

"Why did you fight with Tolle?"

Dearka didn't replied and Miriallia turned around leaving.

"Ok, ok I'll tell you." Miriallia stopped and waited once again, for him to speak.

"I heard from the girls what Tolle did to you last week and it made me mad. So I went to discuss with him and it ended into a fight."

Miriallia stared at him. She really wasn't getting this guy? Why was he bothering this much about her? She knew that he wasn't taking any interest in her; she was too plain for his taste.

"All right, I forgive you." She could not stay angry at him when he was looking so touched by the fact that she didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Thanks," he felt relieved for a second but soon the frown he had moments ago came back on his face, "but can you promise me something?"

Miriallia frowned. What could he possibly asked her to promise him?

"What is it?"

"Stay away from Tolle as much as you can, this guy is twisted."

Miriallia's eyes went big. So he was really worried about her well being. It made her feel better.

"Ok."

Dearka now was smiling wildly.

"So,can I come to work on your project with you? It's been a long time since you've taken a picture of me."

"No!"

Dearka's smile disappeared.

"Have you seen your face? Wait on second thought it could be interesting. Come on."

Miriallia turned and smiled.

"You know Milly, you've got quite a temper."

Miriallia just dindn't reply and continued walking hoping they wouldn't meet Tolle there.
