Eternal Love

Chapter 1

It was in the middle of May. Kira Yamato was making his way to a pharmaceutical company for a business meeting. Kira Yamato and Mwu La Flaga were both partners, and owners of a company called Infinity. Infinity was the most successful company in the world, and they were about to become even larger by merging with the largest pharmaceutical company in the world called Biotech. It's pretty hard to believe since Infinity had only existed for just over 2 years now.

The president of Biotech was a young girl the goes by the name Flay Alstar. Flay was extremely intelligent for her age, and her qualifications were certainly high. Flay was going to give a presentation to Kira. There were other pharmaceutical companies that were in the eyes of Infinity but Mwu and Kira chose to go with Biotech.

There were so many things to be done today that Mwu didn't even have the time to make this decision with Kira. It was Kira's choice and Kira's choice alone.

Kira arrived at Biotech and went straight for the front desk. Kira was wearing a $1200 dollar designer suit. Kira of course had to make him self look over presentable. This wasn't just an interview. Kira was the one accepting this proposal …well it wasn't really just a proposal it was more like a partnership, however if Kira agreed to the partnership then Kira and Mwu would practically own Biotech's as well.

Kira came across a beautiful young girl; she looked like she was around 19 years old.

“Hi, could you please contact Ms. Alstar and let her know Kira Yamato is here” Kira simply told her. The girl blushed at Kira.

“…Sure, please hold.” The girl picked up her phone and buzzed Flay. It took a couple of seconds before Flay answered.

“Yes, what is it Jesse?” Flay asked.

“Excuse me Ms. Alstar but I have a Kira Yamato here to see you.” Jesse said.

“Oh, just tell him I'll be right down.” Flay said.

“Yes” Jesse hung up the receiver.

“She'll be right here, Mr. Yamato”

“Thank you” Kira said simply.

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

After about 3 minutes of keeping Kira waiting, Flay finally emerged from the elevators. Flay quickly made her way to Kira.

“I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Yamato.” Flay said. Kira smiled.

“It's not a problem” Kira said. Flay felt her heart quiver. Did Kira Yamato just smile at her?

`He's so gorgeous, I love his eyes…' Flay thought. Flay led Kira into her office located at the very top of floor of the building. Once they got there Flay had given Kira her own overview of why Infinity and Biotech should merge into one, well actually, Kira and Mwu's plan was to buy out the company. Kira listened closely at Flay's information. Kira was actually enjoying himself; Flay really knew how to give a good proposal.

“Flay I have to say, you do in exactly job and presenting you're work.” Kira smiled. Flay blushed.

“…Thank you” she blushed. `Kira… just complemented me?'

“I'll have to inform Mwu, please give me just a minute.” Kira said.

“Sure, please take your time” Flay said as she walked out the door to give Kira a moment himself.

Kira pulled out his cell and dialed Mwu's number. It took a moment before someone answered.

“Mwu, it went pretty well.” Kira said. Kira told Mwu the key points basically.

“Kira let's do it, all the signs are pointing us in the right direction.” Mwu said.

“Yeah I know, I just wanted to get your opinion on this, so if things go bad I don't get blamed completely.” Kira told Mwu. Mwu chucked.

“Just trying to cover your butt, eh?” Mwu chucked.

“Alright, this is going to take a long process.” Kira said.

“I know, so let's get started on it ASAP! Head back here immediately.” Mwu said.

“I'll be right there.” Kira said before hanging up the phone.

Kira walked out the doors to Flay's office and approached Flay who seemed to look a bit anxious.

“Ms. Alstar, we're going to buy it” Kira simply said. Flay seemed to look overjoyed.

“That's wonderful.” Flay smiled.

“Give me all the papers you need signed.” Kira said.

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

Lacus was sitting on her couch in her new home that she just recently bought; well not recently, they've had it for over a year now.

Lacus put her to legs close to her chest and wrapped her arms around her knees tightly, tucking her two bare feet as close to her body as possible.

Lacus had a depressed look on her face; in face she consistently had a depressed look on her face. It's been that way for nearly 4 weeks. Lacus had been living in her own little hell since she's gotten married. That's right, Lacus had gotten married.

She was forced into an arranged marriage by her father to combine his company and her now husband's company. When she was told about the arranged marriage, Lacus Clyne was, and still is, deeply in love with a certain brunette that goes by the name of Kira Yamato.

She could actually pinpoint the exact moment when she felt Kira's heart shatter into piece's. She hated herself for what she did to him. Lacus' finger tips made their way to her neck; she felt the locket that was around her neck. Lacus removed the locket that was around her neck and held it in her palm. Kira had gotten her the locket on their first date.

Eventually Lacus' thoughts drifted into a painful moment. Lacus had told Kira about her engagement. But at the same time, she told Kira that she still loved him.

26 months earlier

“Lacus, I can understand the situation you're in…” Kira said. Lacus gasped.

“That's probably why, I love you so much. You're always willing to do things for others, you think about others before yourself. That is why, it makes this situation even hard.” He said trying to keep a straight face.

“Kira, what do you …want me to do?” she asked. She said she loved him, but she also said that she had to get married.

“You… can ether chose to be with me, or to follow you're fathers wish's and marry Mark, but you can only pick one, not both” Kira said sternly. It pained him severely to say this but, he knew this was the only way.

“…Kira that's not fair!” Lacus argued. Kira could only look at her with a saddened face. Did Lacus really think she was going to play with both their hearts?

“Life's not always fair is it.” he said. Tears began to form in Lacus' sapphire eyes.

Lacus had no choice, it tore her heart to say it, but she chose the arranged marriage. Just like that, that was her final decision. All her friends knew her situation; they all choose to support her… except for Kira of course.

The good person Kira was, he still went to the wedding when he was invited. He was seated rather closely near the front row; he was seated with Cagalli and Athrun. When Lacus saw Kira she seemed to be glad to see that he was actually here supporting her decision. However the only reason Kira was there was to see if Lacus would actually go through with the wedding. Kira watched as the ceremony began, he watched as Lacus emerge from the doors.

Lacus reached the front where the priest and her fiancé Mark were waiting. As the mass began, time flew by quickly.

They reached the point where the priest had asked, if anyone believes that these two should not be together, speak now or forever hold your peace. Kira thought that this was the moment, he really thought Lacus was going to walk out at this moment. However Kira was being naïve, it wasn't going to be that simple.

Silence filled the air; Kira's heart was slowly beginning to crumble. No one had stepped up, not Lacus, nor himself. Was this how it was supposed to end? It sure looked like nothing was going to be said.

What the priest said next made Kira's heart quiver in fear.

“You may kiss the bride”

Those words seemed to echo in Kira's head over and over again. This was actually happening?

Lacus and Mark inched closer, their lips met and they shared a quick kiss. At that moment Kira felt his heart shatter.

Anger, confusion, sadness, lost, hurt, scared. About a thousand emotions went through Kira's mind. A wound opened up that would never be able to heal. Lacus wasn't his anymore, Lacus belonged to another man now…

That was it. Kira and Lacus had been friends for 6 years and they've been going out for 4 years.

Kira came to his own conclusion. All the love he had for her, all the loyalty, all the passion he had for her, was now covered in pure hatred. He hated Lacus for what she had done. He didn't want to understand, he just stopped caring.

Kira stood up from where he was sitting, he walked to the center, he took one last glance at Lacus and began walking out the door.

“…Kira!” Athrun whispered rather loudly, but Kira didn't turn to face him, he continued to walk. Eventually Lacus looked over and saw that Kira was leaving. Lacus' father, Siegel Clyne noticed that situation and became extremely furious. Who walks out during the most important time at a wedding ceremony?

Athrun was about to chase Kira when he was stopped by Cagalli. “Don't, you'll just make it worse then it already is Athrun” Cagalli whispered.

“But…”

Lacus was all twisted up already. When Kira left, it just made her feel so miserable.

1 week later…

No one ever knew what happened Kira after that. His apartment was cleaned out, and he quit his job.

When Kira had left he had met, and became good friends with a man known as Mwu La Flag. …Coincidence? Or an act of fate? Kira and Mwu emerged from the bottom and created a company called Infinity. With Kira's talents and Mwu's funds, Infinity had become massively huge in only just a months time.

So what is it that Infinity does? Well basically, the purpose of Infinity was to prove to everyone, especially Lacus. Lacus… who got into that marriage so that her father's company, and Marks father's company would merge, and together they would set up homeless shelters all over the world to help the people that couldn't take care of themselves.

Infinity basically did the same thing except they didn't merge with any companies, it was a bran new company funded by Mwu La Flaga. But Infinity didn't just help the homeless. Infinity also made computer chipsets, monitors, plasma televisions, car engines, and many more.

Infinity had existed for just over 2 years now. 2 years since Kira left Japan. Kira was still in contact with his sister Cagalli and his best friend Athrun. However, since Kira left Japan, they haven't really remained close as they once were.

Back to thePresent

Tears began to fall down Lacus' face. “…Kira” Lacus cried, and cried, until suddenly her phone began to ring

Lacus quickly whipped her tears away and answered the phone.

“Hello?” Lacus said in a cheerful tone.

“Oh, hi Cagalli”

“I don't remember, why?”

“Oh, sure”

“I'll be right there.”

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

Kira walked into Mwu's office only to find him slouched on his chair.

“Hey Mwu, you don't look so busy?” Kira said. “You could've came with me”

“I could've, but I trust you would've done well anyways.” Mwu said.

Kira jerked his head “I don't get your logic or your attitude sometimes…”

“Is that so…” Mwu chuckled.

“Well anyways, Kira you remember what tomorrow is right?” Mwu asked.

“…No” Kira said sternly.

“Well of course you don't know, I haven't told you yet” Mwu said. Kira waited for what Mwu had to say.

“Mark Cunnings wants to sell out his company to us” Mwu said. Mark Cunnings was the man that married Lacus. They form a company called CCPS.

CCPS helped people around the world, but they didn't get anywhere because of Infinity. Infinity was the first company to compete with CCPS. From the very start, Infinity had CCPS on there toes. If there was one thing Kira was absolutely good at, it would have to be his marketing strategies. After about 2 years CCPS was finally ready to give in. Infinity had charity funds and homeless shelters all over the globe. CCPS didn't even stand a chance.

“We have to go there personally.” Mwu said. Kira couldn't help but smile.

“When are we going?” Kira asked.

“We're leaving tonight; the meeting is around 9am tomorrow.”

Kira smiled. It was the first time they would be heading to Japan for business purposes. This was actually going to be the first time Kira was in Japan since he left 2 years ago.

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

“You're selling my fathers company!” Lacus yelled. She was obviously not happy.

“I have no choice Lacus, we can't compete with Infinity.” Mark said.

“Our best option is to take the money, and start fresh. We'll use the money and rethink our strategies.” Mark said.

Lacus didn't say anything; she just walked out the room they were in. Lacus would probably just get over it, like she always does. Mark sighed.

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

Soon after the talk with Mark, Lacus had asked Cagalli to meet her at a restaurant for coffee. There Lacus told Cagalli everything that had happened.

“Lacus are you sure.” Cagalli asked while taking a sip from her coffee.

“Yeah, I'm sure. If he's really planning to sell my father's company, then I won't involve myself in his life anymore.” Lacus said. Cagalli smiled.

“…If I knew it was going to end up like this, I would've chose Kira” Lacus said, with tears in her eyes.

“Lacus don't say that! Who knows what could've happen.” Cagalli said.

“…Have you spoken to Kira lately?” Lacus asked. Cagalli nodded.

“It's not like the way it used to be Lacus. To be honest, I don't even know who he is anymore.” Cagalli said.

“What do you mean?” Lacus asked.

“I mean he's rude, he's arrogant, he's conceited, but…” Cagalli starred down at her coffee.

“He's still my brother, I love him” Cagalli said.

“Maybe you and Kira might actually have another shot if you leave Mark.” Cagalli suggested. Lacus' eyes widened.

“I don't know Cagalli, I mean. The way he left, I could never bring myself to face him.” Lacus said.

“…I doubt that” Cagalli chucked. At that moment Athrun had just walked in. Cagalli's face blushed as she saw Athrun but she quickly hid it by turning her head to the side.

“Hey Cagalli, and Lacus too” Athrun said. “What are you guys up to?” Athrun asked. Lacus smiled.

“Take a seat Athrun” Lacus said. Athrun took a seat and told Athrun everything she had told Cagalli.

“Well that's certainly a great idea.” Athrun said.

“To be honest I thought that guy was a little possessive of you Lacus” Athrun said.

“He is a little, but that's why I wanted to get a chance to speak with you.” Lacus said. “Do you mind if you come by my house tomorrow?” Lacus asked.

“What for?” Athrun asked.

“Mark might get a little violent when I let him now, I just want to make sure he doesn't try anything rash” Lacus said.

“Sure thing Lacus” Athrun smiled. Cagalli felt her face heat up when she saw his smile.

“Well, I've got to be going. I've got to go pick up Luna” Athrun said. “I'll see you tomorrow Lacus, bye Cagalli” Athrun said.

“Bye” both Cagalli and Lacus said. Athrun walked out. Lacus watched as Athrun left.

“You should've told him when you had the chance Cagalli” Lacus said. Cagalli didn't say a word; she just looked down at her coffee mug.

“…I don't need to hear it from you as well.” Cagalli said.

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

Kira and Mwu were on a taxi, they were heading to CCPS office building. They had just left the hotel they were currently at. Kira always hated going to meetings but he always went through with them.

It wasn't long before the taxi they were in reached the CCPS office. Mwu tipped the driver before they both go out; as soon as they got out they entered the building.

In the office Kira and Mwu were greeted by Mark Cunnings. Mark didn't know what went on between Kira and Lacus, in fact; this was the first meeting he had with Kira Yamato. He must've missed him at the ceremony 2 years ago.

It wasn't long before Mark signed everything off. Finally, it was done. What Kira worked so hard to do was finally done. He wondered what Lacus was thinking about all this, but to his dismay Lacus was not there.

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

“Well, that went rather nicely.” Mwu said. Kira chucked.

“Yeah…” Kira said. Kira felt something sting within his heart. He couldn't understand what this feeling was, could it have been regret? …It was, this feeling was clearly a regretful feeling. But why was he feeling such an emotion? Could it have been that he felt bad for what he's done? No, I couldn't be…

“What are you planning on doing Kira?” Mwu asked.

“Actually, it's been too long, I thought I'd visit my sister.” Kira said.

“Is that so” Mwu smiled. “Well take your time; I'm going to head back. There's nothing in our schedule for the rest of the week, so just relax.” Mwu said. Kira nodded.

“…Right” Kira smiled. Mwu signaled for a taxi.

“Later then”

“Bye” Mwu said as he got into a taxi.

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

“So he did it?” Cagalli said. She was on the phone with Lacus, who had just told Cagalli that Mark had sold the company off to Infinity.

“Well, Lacus why didn't you try to argue with him if you didn't want him to sell the company” Cagalli asked.

“…I did, but I guess in a way, I wanted him to do it.” Lacus said. Lacus was suddenly disturbed by the door bell to her house/

“Athrun's at the door, I'll call you back.” Lacus said. Just by hearing his name was enough to make her heart tingle.

“Okay, bye Lacus, and good luck.” Cagalli said.

“Thanks Cagalli, I'll try my best. Bye” Lacus said. The call ended and Cagalli put down her phone. Cagalli dropped on her couch in her empty apartment, she took in a deep sigh when suddenly she heard a loud knock on the door.

Cagalli seemed a bit irritated. Who could be up at this time? It was only 10am. Cagalli got up and opened the door. Cagalli couldn't believe her eyes.

“…Kira?”

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

Lacus opened the door to let Athrun in.

“Good morning Lacus, how are you” Athrun said. Lacus smiled.

“I'm fine Athrun, how about you?” she asked.

“I'm a little tired, but anyways, do you have the divorce papers?” Athrun asked.

“I did, I've already signed them… But I'm scared…” Lacus said. Athrun gave her a reassuring smile.

“Don't worry Lacus, its better out then in. Isn't that right?” Athrun said.

“I know” she said.

“Where's Mark right now?” Athrun asked.

“He's on the way home” she said.

“That's good, this gives us some time. Why don't you go over what you're going to say?” Athrun suggested. Lacus nodded.

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

“Hi …Cagalli” Kira said. The young brunette tilted his head down in shame.

“…Cagalli …I'm sorry about the way I've been acting” Kira let out. Lately whenever Kira and Cagalli would talk over the phone, Kira would always behave rudely to her for no apparent reason.

“…Kira”

“Come in” she simply commanded.

Just like that Cagalli had let everything go. Cagalli was never the type of person to hold grudges on others, especially her own twin brother.

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

Mark entered his home to find Lacus and Athrun seated at the kitchen speaking silently. Mark walked into the kitchen.

“Athrun what are you doing here?” Mark asked.

“I was just stopping by.” Athrun said.

“Well do you mind letting yourself out, I need to speak with my wife” he said rather rudely. Mark walked right up to the kitchen table, noticing the mood on Lacus' face.

“What's wrong sweetheart?” he asked. Lacus had a disgusted look on her face as she glared at him.

“I want a divorce” Lacus said sternly, finally getting it off her chest. Mark's eyes widened at what she had just said.

“What are you saying Lacus!” Mark yelled.

“You herd me-” Lacus was cut of as Mark slapped her across that face. Athrun stood there in shock. Athrun quickly got up.

“I make the decisions here! Not you! Now why don't you-” It was Mark's turn now to get cut off as Athrun grabbed his left arm and twisted it.

Mark winced in pain. “Just sign it so we could all get along with our day. The pain was so excruciating that Mark almost cried.

“Okay, okay!” Mark screamed. Athrun handed Mark a pen.

“There, sign it” Athrun said. Lacus was a little taken back by Athrun's actions but… She didn't care; she just wanted to get on with her life.

Mark began signing his name on all the papers that required his signature. After he had signed all the papers Athrun had let go of Mark, as soon as he let go, Mark dropped to the floor. Athrun grabbed the forms and grabbed Lacus' hand as they went out the door.

Lacus couldn't believe at what had just happened. Just like that, it was …over?

“Lacus, you're going to have to stay with Cagalli until we can get all your stuff out of here” Athrun asked.

“Yes, you may be right.” she said. They exited the house and Lacus got into Athrun car. Athrun started up the engine and drove off towards Cagalli's apartment.

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

“Wow you sure have been busy Kira. Why did you buy Biotech?” Cagalli asked.

“We wanted to truly expand what we do, that's why” Kira said.

“Is that so…” Cagalli said. Silence filled the air.

“So Cagalli, are you seeing anyone?” Kira asked. Cagalli put her head down.

“…No”

“Still working on Athrun, right?” He asked. Cagalli blushed.

“Yeah… but nothings working” Cagalli said. Kira smiled.

“I've kind of stopped trying a while go…” she said. Kira jerked his head up.

“What, you gave up?” Kira said.

“He's seeing somebody right now” Cagalli said, trying to keep a straight face. Kira didn't know what he could say or do. He knew exactly what she was going through, he went through that right before him and Lacus started seeing each other, it was a long time ago…

Suddenly someone began to knock on the door.

“Now who could this be” Cagalli said getting up to answer the door. Cagalli opened the door to find Lacus, and she was with …Athrun. Cagalli felt her heart race when she saw him. Suddenly a thought came popping through Cagalli's head.

`…Lacus is here… and so Kira. I wonder how this is going to turn out' Cagalli couldn't help but grin.

“Oh Lacus, how did it go?” Cagalli asked.

“I… did it” she smiled, Cagalli smiled as well.

“Well come in you two” Cagalli said as she brought her face closer to Lacus.

“You'll never believe who I got sitting in my living room…” Cagalli said. Lacus jerked her head up and looked towards the living room, but from Lacus' angle, she couldn't see a thing.

“Who is it” Athrun asked. All three of them were cut off as Kira walked closer towards the door. Lacus' heart literally melted. Was it jus an illusion? Kira was trying his best to keep an emotionless face… but his actions were futile. Kira's eyes scanned Lacus' body from her head down. Over the years Lacus had gotten a bit taller; her hair was longer and was a lot glossier then before. When Kira saw Lacus he felt his heart melt all over again.

Athrun stood shocked as he saw Kira. It was the first time he had seen him in about two years.

Lacus couldn't believe her eyes. This was definitely a shocking turn of event. Kira was the last thing she would ever expect to see. Kira's hair seemed to have grown a couple of inches longer, he was a lot taller, and he was as gorgeous to her as he always had been. The fact that Kira was wearing an expansive suit just made Lacus' hormones go haywire.

Kira was the first to talk. “Sorry Cagalli, I just remembered that have somewhere to be.” Kira said walking over towards the door. Kira avoided making eye contact with Lacus.

“What, I thought you were off for the rest of the day.” Cagalli said.

“I just remembered something I had to do.” Kira said as he slipped into his designer dress shoes.

Athrun was a little shocked from the situation, but he didn't say a word. This should've been Lacus' moment and Lacus' moment alone. Kira quickly exited out the door.

A few seconds after Kira had left Lacus quickly went after him.

Kira was speed walking down the path to get to the elevator. His thoughts were all over the pink haired beauty. Kira was thinking about her so much that he didn't even hear anyone running towards him.

Kira stopped dead in his tracks when he felt a pair of arms encircled around his waist. Kira looked down miserably at the arms that were wrapped around his waist. He knew exactly who those arms belonged to.

He hated her, he hated her more then anything else in this world, but what was this feeling he was getting… his heart was melting.

Lacus embraced him tightly as she rested her forehead on his back. Slowly Lacus began to cry.

“…Are you going to walk away from my life… again” she whispered. Kira didn't answer nor did he react in anyway.

“…Kira I've missed you so much” Lacus said.

“…I have to go” was all he could say.

“Kira I-”

“You're the one that walked out on me Lacus, remember?” Kira finally let out. Lacus wasn't able to control her emotions well, her tears dripped all over the back of Kira's blazer.

“You didn't even…” Lacus couldn't get the words out. “Kira please, just tell me.” Lacus' sobs began to take over.

“I've never once, forgotten about you… I've never once stopped loving you” Lacus managed to say.

Cagalli and Athrun were watching all of this from the door to Cagalli's apartment.

“…You still feel that way after you got married to somebody else? I don't think daddy would approve of such a feeling.” Kira said bitterly.

“…Kira please, don't act like this…” Lacus continued to let her tears fall.

“…I love you so much Kira.” Lacus managed to say. What did Lacus expect him say? I love you too?

“I've filed for divorce…” Lacus said. She filed for Divorce? So what now? Did Lacus expect Kira to go back to the way they were before? No, it wasn't going to be that simple.

“Is that so?” Kira said. “Did you make that decision on your own? Or did daddy decide that for you…” Kira said bitterly. Lacus clenched Kira's shirt tightly as she pushed her head in hard against Kira's back.

“I'm sorry Kira. I know I hurt you a lot… but…” Lacus couldn't get the words out.

“…Hurt, you say? Hurt can't be used to describe what I went though. What is it that you want to hear? I love you too? Let's just move on and forget about everything that's happened?” Kira said.

“I'm not asking for you're forgiveness Kira. I'm not asking you to take me back… I just want to be able to talk to you again…” Lacus said.

“We're talking now aren't we?” Kira said. Lacus ignored Kira's question.

“Do you hate me that much Kira…” Lacus painfully asked.

“Yes, I do.” Kira didn't even hesitate to respond. Lacus felt her whole body tremble.

“I…I'm sorry Kira, please forgive me” she begged.

“Lacus, that's enough already” Kira said. “Let go” he simply commanded. Slowly Lacus' arms began retreating. The tears were still coming down.

Kira didn't even look at her; he just quickly pushed the button for the elevator. The elevator doors opened up not even 3 seconds later. Kira quickly got into the elevator and went down.

Cagalli came up from behind Lacus and rubbed her back. “…Lacus”

Lacus threw herself on to Cagalli as she continued to cry. Athrun could only watch helplessly. He should have gone after Kira… but for some reason the idea didn't even cross his mind.

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

As soon as the elevator doors shut Kira immediately placed his left hand over his heart and clenched it tightly.

“Damn it! Why did I say all those horrible things…?” Kira cursed himself. “How could I say that…?”

“…I couldn't even tell her!” With all of Kira's might he punched the metal elevator doors; he instantly broke some of his fingers. However, Kira didn't even wince on pain.

To be continued…
