Disclaimer: People I need your help with a decision regarding Wing-Zero. My plan is to modify it with the Freedom's wings and thrusters but I may need to remove its ability to transform. If you want me to leave Zero as it is tell me. Now I hope you enjoy chapter 9.

8:30 pm.
After being captured by Athrun Zala, tied up and rolling into a small inlet Cagalli was royally pissed off. Not only was she wearing nothing but her underwear she was also tied up again next to Shinobu who was also tied up and still properly dressed.
"So how did he manage to catch you?" Cagalli asked sitting closer to the camp fire.
"All I did was try and get a look at his Mobilesuit. I was about to climb down the embankment when I felt something cold and hard against the back of my head, so I surrendered and he tied me up in this cave," Shinobu answered. "He even gagged me so I couldn't call for help,"
"I told you not to wear that Earth Forces uniform top Shinobu," Cagalli muttered.
"Hey I wasn't about to go into battle without a shirt on," Shinobu shot back trying not to fall over. "All the other shirts I had were being washed,"
"Well excuse me! You were lucky not to fall into an inlet with crabs crawling up your clothes. Aren't you more worried about how Kira's feeling right now? He's probably not going to stop searching until he finds us!" Cagalli bellowed trying to rest her chin on her knees. "I guess it's a good thing Heero's up in the Plants right now,"
"Heero as in Heero Yuy? Do you two know him?" both turned to see Athrun standing at the entrance to the cave with surprise written all over his face.
"He's my big brother," Shinobu answered. "And he will definitely kick your ass for tying me up next time he sees you,"
"Oh yeah this day just keeps getting better and better," Athrun mumbled to himself quickly untying Shinobu. "Just don't try anything or I'll be forced to tie you up again,"
"You're the one who's going to be tied up you bastard!" Cagalli shouted kicking out Athrun's feet beneath him while she was still tied up only to have him fall on top of her. "Hey, get off me you jerk!"
'If only Kira would accidentally fall on me,' Shinobu sighed.
"Now why'd you go and pull a stunt like that?" Athrun asked propping himself up, suddenly noticing his hand was holding something soft.
Looking down Athrun's fear was confirmed as he saw his left hand placed firmly over the blonde girl's breast. 'This is so not my day,' he groaned placing his hand back on the ground. Realising Cagalli hadn't yelled at him for copping a feel Athrun looked up and was completely shocked to see disappointment on her face. Was she disappointed for moving his hand?
"Well what are you waiting for? Aren't you going to punish me for tripping you over?" Cagalli whimpered her cheeks coloured crimson. "Aren't you going to take advantage of the fact that I'm still tied up?"
"I'm not going to take advantage of you. Only scumbags do that," Athrun gasped his eyes widening in shock.
"Still I wouldn't mind if you did, you are kinda cute," Cagalli said not meeting his eyes. "You're probably not going to get another chance like this so just do what you want, you have my permission,"
"I think you're cute too Cagalli," Athrun mumbled making her turn her head just in time to meet his lips in a light kiss.
'Sweet. Live action theatre,' Shinobu thought adding a few more sticks to the fire as the small kiss made way for a make out session.

"Kira just hold on a minute, the Strike's batteries aren't even fully charged yet!" Mu La Flaga shouted running to catch up with the young coordinator. "I know you really want to find Shinobu but it'll have to wait till morning once you've rested properly. It's also captain's orders,"
"I don't care! Heero entrusted me with her safety, I have to find her!" Kira shouted back.
"You're not going anywhere and that's final," Mu replied spinning Kira around and landing a serious punch to his gut, knocking him out cold. "I'm sorry kid, you didn't give me much choice,"

Lookout Spot.
9 pm.
"Lacus I just realised something," I said breaking the enjoyable silence between us.
"And what would that be?" Lacus asked resting her head on my chest as we lay on the grass a short distance from the car park.
"We've been up here all day just wandering around and sitting. But I think we should get going before your father starts worrying about you," I answered chuckling as she groaned about wanting to stay where she was. "Lacus your pouting won't get you anything this time so you can either walk to the car or I throw you over my shoulder like a caveman and cause you a lot of embarrassment,"
"You're such a big meanie," she pouted rolling into a sitting position, rubbing her arms.
"Here," I said placing my button down shirt over her shoulders as I helped her to her feet. "I better not catch you smelling it,"
"What will you do to me if I do?" she asked innocently.
"I won't sleep with you tonight," I replied devilishly. "Or for the next week for that matter, so no smelling my shirt,"
Lacus' response was too stick her tongue out at me which resulted in a fit of uncontrollable laughter from me which had me almost doubled over. Fortunately we were the only people around so I was drawing any attention to myself.
"You are such a little girl sometimes," I said holding my splitting sides. "I don't think I've ever laughed this hard in my life. Oh that felt good,"
"Do you feel lost anymore?" she asked holding her hair back as the wind picked up slightly.
"Not when it comes to you Lacus. As to what I should be fighting for, I'm still in the dark about that one," I replied turning off the car's security systems. "You want me to take you home?"
"Yes please, sitting in the sun all day had made me sleepy," Lacus answered covering a small yawn.
"Then my beautiful pink princess, your carriage awaits," I said, bowing as I opened her door.
Walking up me Lacus had a mischievous smile as she dropped my shirt in her seat and lowered one of the straps of her dress off her shoulder. "Would you like your princess to take off her dress?"
"That can wait till we get home Lacus. As much as I'd like to see you naked right here I want to be the only one to see you that exposed," I answered sliding the strap back in place caressing her shoulder with the same hand. "I can settle for just caressing your skin, for now,"
"That's very romantic," Lacus whispered leaning her forehead on my chest.
"I can be as romantic as you want me to be," I whispered back wrapping my arms protectively around her body, settling my hands just above her backside. "If I do anything that makes you uncomfortable just tell me and I'll stop,"
"I don't think you could ever make me uncomfortable Heero," she said lowering my hands over her butt. "Please feel free to touch me anywhere you wish,"
"Tell me what you want Lacus," I requested bring my hands up her their original position.
"I want companionship, to be held and touched by the person I love. I am willing to do anything to please you. I will honour you with everything in my being. I give you my heart, sole and body Heero. I don't want to be alone anymore," Lacus murmured tears starting to well up in her lavender eyes.
"Lacus I promise you won't be alone. I'm here with you and Wing-Zero will make sure I stay with you because I love you and I promise I will do everything in my power to protect you," I said grabbing her cheeks and crushing her lips in a tender kiss.
Regular POV.
The Next Morning.
Earth.
The sound of continuous beeping roused Athrun from his sleep, making him realise someone had locked on to the locator beacon he deployed last night. Trying to sit up proved almost impossible by the small weight on his chest. Opening his eyelids his eyes came to rest on a head on golden blonde hair of his prisoner Cagalli. Then came the embarrassing memory of what transpired last night between them, the make out session which lasted four hours before the fell asleep with Cagalli still tied up. He also discovered that they were covered with a sheet which reminded him of his second prisoner Shinobu Yuy, Heero's sister. Checking under the sheet he was massively relieved to find she still had her underwear on and he was still dressed in his flight-suit. But where had the sheet come from?
"I see you two slept well," a voice said snapping Athrun's head in the direction of the now burnt out fire where Shinobu sat. "I take it you enjoyed your make out session with Cagalli?"
"You were watching the whole time?" Athrun almost shouted, blushing the same colour as the Aegis when Shinobu nodded with a giggle.
"Keep it down Shinobu, I'm trying to sleep," Cagalli groaned opening her eyes to meet Athrun's. "So that wasn't a wonderful dream I had?"
"Afraid not Cagalli," Shinobu beamed enjoying the utter horror on Athrun's face.
"Ok then, two things. One: I'd like to know your name and two: could you untie me so I can go to the bathroom?" Cagalli asked rolling into a sitting position.
"Sure and my name's Athrun Zala,' he replied removing untying her hands and feet.
"Thanks Athrun, I really enjoyed making out with you," Cagalli said standing up to retrieve her clothes. "If we both survive the war why don't we go out on a date or something?"
"Uh sure," Athrun mumbled his eyes following her backside as she ran out of the cave.
"I think she likes you," Shinobu said following Cagalli outside.
'I am so glad they didn't see how aroused I was,' Athrun sighed making his way to the Aegis.
Heero's POV.
Plants.
Lacus' Kitchen.
Last night I got Lacus home without any trouble along the way but ended having to carry her to bed and help her out of her dress again, not that I was complaining however. Her father didn't seem to mind nor did the house staff and of course she insisted in her devastatingly cute sleep talk that I stay in her bed again. Waking up an hour before her alarm clock went off I silently slipped out of her room for a shower and to look over data from Zero's flight recorder during the trip to the Plants while I ate. As I went over the data I hear soft padding from upstairs from Lacus heading to the bathroom then returning to her room fifteen minutes later followed by frustrated sighing which was just as cute as everything else she did.
'I guess she really does have unlimited cuteness,' I chuckled pouring another glass of guava juice.
"Morning Heero," Lacus said making me choke on my juice when I saw the short transparent white night gown she was wearing with lace at the top to cover her nipples and completed with a pair of white string side panties.
"Uh Lacus," I began grabbing her attention. "What the hell are you wearing?"
"Lingerie," she replied tilting her head ever so innocently to the side in confusion at my question. "A girl friend of mine got it for me before she left for the military. Don't you like it?"
"I'm just glad you didn't neglect to wear panties," I replied trying to keep the blood from escaping my nose. "Have trouble deciding what to wear did you?"
"I felt this was more appropriate. The other pairs of lingerie I have are skimpier than anything else I own, but I guess that's the point," she blushed finding the bench top very interesting.
"Then don't tell me what they are, it'll ruin the surprise for me," I smiled moving around the kitchen island to wrap her in my arms from behind, bringing my mouth to her ear. "And just so you know I happen to have a leg and skin fetish, the more skin the better," I whispered bring my hands up to gently cup her breasts, rolling them slowly in my palms. "This is the first time anyone's touched you like this isn't it?" (A/N: I happen to have this exact fetish.)
"Yes," she moaned turning her head to kiss me when her eye widened. "Father!"
There stranding in the doorway to the kitchen was Siegel Clyne dressed in his councilman attire, staring right at us as we stood frozen like statues. It was a good minute before anyone spoke up.
"I'm glad to see you've finally found someone you came be open with Lacus," he said as we moved apart with huge blushes on our faces. "There's nothing for either of you to worry about, I have ever confidence in the both of you not to do anything you're not ready for. I just came to say good bye Lacus, I've got another busy day ahead of me,"
"Good bye father," Lacus replied kissing her father on the cheek. "Thank you for your blessing,"
"You deserve it," he added "And Heero,"
"Yes sir," I responded.
"Do not hesitate to ask for anything while you are living here. Think of this house as your second home," he said.
"With all due respect sir, my home doesn't exist in this reality. But if I am to call this house my home I do it because my home is with Lacus," I replied taking her hand and kissing the back of it. "And thank you for the lack of restrictions you've given us,"
"Indeed," he said taking his leave after giving Lacus a quick hug.
"Hungry?" I asked Lacus when we heard the front door close.
"Yes and welcome home," she replied a stray tear falling from her eye.
"I'm home," I whispered kissing her tear away.

Earth.
"So how long before ZAFT gets here?" Cagalli asked sitting on the beach next to Athrun and Shinobu near the Skygrasper.
"The Strike has a head start so it'll be a few hours before they arrive," Athrun replied looking out over the ocean. "Aren't you from Orb?"
"Yeah, I was born there," Cagalli answered leaning her head on his shoulder.
"If I ever get tired of fighting for ZAFT maybe I'll leave the Plants and come to Orb," he said wrapping an arm around her waist.
"I'd like that," Cagalli smiled pecking him on the cheek. "But you should probably get going, the Archangel most likely sent out the second Skygrasper along with the Strike,"
"You're right, wouldn't want me and my machine to be capture by the Earth Forces now would I?" he replied giving her a light kiss on the lips before running back to the Aegis.
"Be safe Athrun," Cagalli whispered returning her eyes to the sea.
Disclaimer: the plans to modify Wing-Zero will not go ahead without some support from my fans, if anyone has any objections tell me now otherwise tell me what part of chapter 9 you liked the best and I'll get started on chapter 10 which will feature Lacus in a bikini.
