Omatase shimashita! Gomenasai!!! Yeah I'm a little bit late compared to what I had announced but I had a lack of inspiration. I'm not really proud of this chapter that I had great difficulties to write. Why? Don't know….

Thank you to everyone who is reviewing this story!!

CHAPTER 15

By the end of the week, Lacus was fed up with the whole situation. Everything was fine again with Dearka and Miriallia and Dearka and Yzak. Cagalli and Athrun were not angry at Yzak anymore either. The main issue rested Kira. Cagalli was feeling more and more depressed as days passed. It was the first time her brother was this mad at her. The group of friends decided then to do something. Lacus took the command of the operation she herself named Operation reconciliation.

"Ok, guys. I have got a plan." She started as six pairs of eyes looked at her. "I will ask Kira to come meet me in the music room tonight at 8. Once he gets there, I leave the room and ask for him to wait. That's when you –she pointed Cagalli and Athrun- enter the class. Once you're all in, we lock the door and don't open until Kira has come back to his old self."

They all stared at Lacus in disbelief. Sweet Lacus was actually plotting against her boyfriend. Even if it was for a good reason, it was still plotting.

----------------------------------

"I would never have imagined Lacus so strategic."

Yzak and Shiho were heading for their next class, hand in hand. Yzak didn't care anymore if anybody saw them. Shiho was not receiving strange looks anymore as Yzak's death glare was scarier than a murderer herself.

"Me neither. But it's a good idea. It's so unusual to see Cagalli down like that. And it's your entire fault." Shiho added pinching Yzak's cheek.

"When I'm angry, I don't think of what I say."

"So you never think." Shiho mocked before laughing as Yzak was frowning.

Yzak's phone then rang and he reached for it. Looking at the ID Yzak frowned before answering.

"Hello?"

Shiho watched as she saw Yzak frowned more and more.

"WHAT? I don't give a damn."

Shiho had jumped at the sudden outburst.

"I said NO. I didn't agree with it to begin with and-"

……

"I don't care!"

Yzak hang up his phone and Shiho had to take it from his hand to prevent him to break it. She looked at him as he tried to regain his calm.

"What's wrong?" She asked, more timidly than usual.

"Flay went to cry to her father. She better not cross my path or I don't know what I'll do to her."

Shiho didn't reply. Yzak was engaged. Even if he was young, even if he didn't want to be he still was. She felt like the intruder although she knew that Yzak had no interest in Flay. Yzak saw her hard thinking and grabbed her chin to lift up her face.

"Don't worry about that. I'll go talk to my father during the break and tell him to call off all this engagement stuff."

"What if he doesn't want?"

"He can't make me marry a girl I don't like, can he?"

Shiho opened her mouth to reply but Yzak's lips were already on hers. She decided that for now, she would just enjoy kissing him and think about the Flay problem later.

-------------------------

"Ok guys. Kira is coming." Lacus said, indicating that it was time for her friends to hide. Lacus putted on her best smile and sat on a desk, waiting.

Kira, oblivious from the fact that he was the center of the plot, came into the room. As soon as he saw Lacus he practically ran to her and kissed her. As minutes went on, Kira was half laying on the desk where Lacus already was. It felt so good that she forgot her friends waiting for her to leave the classroom. Cagalli and Athrun entered the room, fed up from waiting and Athrun grabbed Kira by the collar and pulled him form his girlfriend. Cagalli took a hold of Lacus' hand and pushed her out of the room.

"Sorry, Cagalli. I got carried away." The pink girl excused herself.

"I saw that!" Cagalli replied giving the key to Lacus so that she could lock them in.

"What the Hell is going on? Lacus what are you doing?" Kira watched in disbelief his girlfriend locking him in with his sister and her boyfriend.

"You can go out once you've reconciled."

"Shiho, is that you?" Kira asked not beliving he had been trapped.

"We're all here, man." It was Dearka's voice.

"Kira," Lacus said through the door, "this situation can't continue, you can't stay made at them any longer. So you'll stay here until you've come back to your senses. See you later."

"LACUS, LET ME OUT."

"Come on Kira, stop this already," Athrun had released Kira who was now trying to open the door, "you're hurting your sister." Kira went silent and Athrun continued. "Don't you care?"

Kira turned to face Athrun.

"Of course I care. But you two slept together! You're not eighteen yet!"

"Excuse me Kira but from what we saw, two minutes ago you were in the good direction to follow our steps!" Cagalli exploded.

Kira went as red as a tomato.

"I-I-I would have stopped before anything happen."

"Like we would have done if we weren't drunk, Kira."

Kira opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out.

"Kira," Cagalli began planting her eyes in his, "you know I'm not the kind of girl to run after guys. And you know that Athrun is not the type of guy who sleeps with every girl who passes by. You don't imagine what last holidays have been like for me. I didn't want to tell you because I knew it would hurt you." Cagalli had now tears forming in her eyes and quickly wiped them away. She wasn't the type of girl who cries either.

Kira saw his sister sincerity and wrapped his arms around her to comfort her. It must really affect her if this was making her cry, Kira thought.

"It's ok Cagalli."

They stayed like that for a good ten minutes, not talking and Athrun thought that they may have one of those twin connections he didn't know anything about.

-----------------------

October passed as did November and soon enough only three weeks remained before Christmas holidays. Miriallia was finalizing her project that was due to be exposed the last week end before the holidays to be presented to the parents who were invited for a buffet. Athrun and Cagalli were spending there time kissing to Kira's disgust but he didn't dare saying anything to his sister. Being angry with her had affected him more than he could admit and he didn't want to go through this experience ever again. Dearka was more than happy to be in good terms with Miriallia again. However it wasn't the same with Tolle. They didn't talk to each other anymore and Dearka made sure Miriallia was never alone with him even if she had listened to his advice. Miriallia and Tolle had casual conversation, only concerning the weather or regarding the club. Nothing more.

This Monday morning Dearka was eating when Yzak and Shiho sat with him.

"Hey Dearka!"

"Hey"

"What's wrong? You seem down." Asked Shiho.

"It's Milly."

"Really?" Yzak said sarcastically.

"Shut up, let him talk." Shiho wanted her two friends to finally be a couple and so she decided to help Dearka.

"Well, don't you think she is acting strange lately? She often spaces out and the other day I caught her looking strangely at me."

"Yeah I saw that too. I think she's just stressed about her project, you shouldn't worry about that." She tried to reassure him. "But if you're that worried you should go ask her."

"You think so?"

"Yes!"

Dearka didn't loose any seconds as he got up and went to search for Miriallia. He ran into her as she was approaching the cafeteria. As for the last week, she was lost in her thoughts. She stops as she saw feet blocking her from going any further and looked up to see the object of her thinking in front of her. She didn't' have a chance to say anything as Dearka spoke first.

"Milly, I know something is wrong, you've been acting strange lately and it's not just your project, is it?"

Miriallia looked at him, frowning.

"Actually, it is. There is something I would like to ask you but…" she stopped, looking back at her feet.

"What is it?"

Something bothering her about her project including him?

"Well, I would like to take a picture of you."

It was Dearka's turned to frown.

"So? Where is the problem? You've already taken plenty of photos of me." He really wasn't getting it.

"This picture I want to take is particular."

"How come?"

She suddenly raised her head and looked straight at him.

"I want to take a picture of you naked."

So what do you think? I like the ending.. So do you think Dearka will do it? See you in the next chapter…
