Chapter 5
Kira rested his back against the leather seats, he pushed a button and a bottle of wine came down from the ceiling of the roof, it was a small automatic lift. Kira grabbed the bottle of wine and poured some in a glass. Placing the wine back up, he sipped his wine.
About a year ago, Kira went to Europe. He was on vacation and was currently at the time resting in Rome. That's where he met Luna and her friend Meyrin, which he later found out were sisters. They too were there, just for a weekend though. They were on a trip with a bunch of others from Japan.
Basically Kira and Luna ran into each other… somehow it ended up being a one night stand. The next day, Kira pulled the one night stand again, only it was with Meyrin. Kira ended up getting caught off guard by both Luna and Meyrin, the situation was rather awkward. Trying to force the memories out of his head, Kira jerked his head. Not long after that, Kira's limo pulled up into Flay's house… actually it was a mansion. Pulling up near the front door, Kira got out and walked to the front door.
Knocking on the front door, a maid opened the door. The maid greeted Kira and invited him in. Not even a second passed and Flay came walking through the foyer, with a smile.
----------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
Tracing back her thoughts, Cagalli clenched the staring wheel; she would glance at Lacus every now and then. Lacus was sitting in the passenger seat. Lacus was starring out the window, but her mind was elsewhere. Lacus felt so torn up inside, she didn't know what to do anymore. Lacus sniffled, she was almost in tears.
“…The other day… even this morning. Everything felt like it was going back to the way it used to be. How could I be such a dim-witted person?” Her thoughts reflected into words. Cagalli's eyes began to quiver, she was worried about Lacus. Cagalli didn't know what to say anymore. Kira had changed; there was nothing she could do. Slowly Cagalli started to understand that Kira had turned into someone she didn't know. Her brother from the past is now gone, that was her conclusion.
“…Lacus as much as I don't want to admit it. The Kira we all once knew… he's not there anymore. I don't think I'll be able to get through to him. Lacus, if you want Kira… this is something you have to confront yourself.” Cagalli said. “As much as I don't want to say this, the truth is, the reason why Kira is like this is because of what he went though when he saw you get married.” Cagalli said. Lacus took in a deep depressing sigh.
“…I already know, Cagalli” Lacus said. Lacus began to cry uncontrollably. She cursed herself. Cagalli eyes were saddened. In Cagalli's eyes, Lacus had always been a strong person, but for the last 2 years she saw the strong emotional Lacus breakdown and crumble. Cagalli couldn't help but feel enraged. She really wanted to have a one on one talk with her brother. But she knew it would be useless.
----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------
A few hours later…
Pulling into Flay's driveway, the limo stopped at the same place as before. Getting out of the limo, Kira reached out his hand to help Flay out.
“It was fun Kira, thank you” Flay said. Kira smiled.
“Well I have to be going” Kira said as he got back into the limo and shut the door in Flay's face instantaneously. Flay was shocked.
“Hurry up and drive, get me out of here now!” Kira told the limo driver. The driver quickly did as he was instructed. Flay looked back with a face full of different sort of emotions.
“…What the hell was that?” Flay said out loud, the limo drove off. Kira turned his head and looked back. He could tell Flay had a confused expression. Kira turned back towards the driver's direction.
“…Well Kira, let's not do that again” Kira whispered to himself. “That women, is completely nuts…”
----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
“Mark was sent to prison? But …why?” Kira asked, partially grinning.
“They wouldn't tell me, they just said he was going away for about 8 months.” Mwu said, clenching his phone. “I guess I'm glad it happened before Mark got a chance to work within Infinity”
“Yea, me too” Kira said. “But anyways, have you signed anything new recently?” Kira asked.
“Well not recently. I'm still in Amsterdam after all” Mwu said.
“Oh yea that's right, what did Dullindal want?” Kira asked. Mwu chuckled.
“I don't know, he told me to come back, and make sure you were with me. I told him about you're injury, so he said to come back when you were feeling better.” Mwu said.
“I see, so basically, you went to Europe for no reason” Kira said.
“Don't say that Kira. This place has gorgeous women” Mwu chuckled. “I would love to live in a world like this”
“I see, well I'll let you go then” Kira said. “Let me know when you return to work” Kira said.
“Yea I will. I won't be here that much longer” Mwu said. “Bye then”
“Bye”
----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------
The next day
---------------------
Kira's cell phone rang bright and early in the morning. It was around 10, Kira was walking by his old high school at the time. Kira reached in his pocket and pulled out is cell phone.
“Hello” Kira answered.
“Kira what was that about?” Athrun said.
“…Athrun is that you?”
“Yea, it's me, what happened between you and Luna?” Athrun asked. Kira's eyes widened.
“I wanted to ask you the same thing” Kira said.
“I dated her recently. I broke up with her to be with Cagalli. That's basically my story”
“Oh well, I met her about a year ago in Europe. She was with a bunch of her friends. Well, basically, I met her at a night club, and we slept together. The next day, I met Meyrin, one of the girls she was with. I basically, ended up sleeping with her as well. Next thing I realized, Luna was cussing me, saying that I played her. Then she found out about me and her friend Meyrin, it turns out, Meyrin wasn't her friend, she was her little sister. It's a long complicated story, and I wish I never done it in the first place. But I was really drunk for those 2 nights” Kira said. Athrun was shocked
“Well, it sounds complicated” Athrun sighed. “Kira could you do me a favor?”
“…Sure, I guess. What is it?” Kira asked.
“I want you to properly break it off with Lacus”
“…What?” Kira asked. He was confused.
“Kira, I know you were hurt in the past. I can't imagine what you were going through. But, making Lacus hurt isn't the answer. You're turning her into a wreck. Stop toying with her; she's not strong as she once was. I'm afraid that… she might end up hurting herself if this continues.” Athrun said. Kira's eyes widened.
“Athrun, I think you're overreacting a bit. Lacus would never-”
“You didn't see her last night. She was a complete wreck Cagalli told me she couldn't stop crying last night. Lacus has to know it's over Kira. She's my friend you know; I can't stand to see her like this. Please tell her it's over Kira” Athrun begged. Kira was hesitant to answer.
“…I can't”
Athrun was shocked “Why not”
“Despite what I say, despite everything I've done. I still love her…” Kira said. Then it finally hit him. He just admitted to himself that he loves Lacus…
“If you still love her then why are you dating other people…” Athrun asked. Kira sighed.
“I don't know. There's a part of me that… wants me to… I mean, I love her, but I want to move on… but I can't, because I'm in love with her.” Kira said. “I don't know what wrong with me sometimes… I've been feeling this way ever since I left”
“Kira you need to make a decision. Just try talking to her seriously” Athrun said. “Sorry, I have to get back to work”
“Alright then, bye”
“Bye” Closing his cell phone, Kira began to head north.
----------------------------------------------------------------- -----
Cagalli was washing her face when she heard a knock on her door. She quickly jerked her head. It was rare to be getting a visitor this early in the morning. Cagalli rushed her way to the front and opened the door.
“Sorry Cagalli, did I wake you?” Kira asked.
“…Umm no. not exactly”
“Is Lacus here?” Kira asked. Cagalli suddenly frowned.
“She's not here. But if she was here, I don't think she would want to see you” Cagalli said.
“Whether she wants to see me or not, I need to talk to her. Do you know where she went?” He asked.
“She told me she was just going for a walk. That was about half an hour ago.” Cagalli said. Kira cussed himself mentally.
“I see… thanks.” Kira said, running off in the other direction.
“…Kira” Cagalli called out, but he didn't respond, he was already too far away. Cagalli was confused. What was it that Kira could possibly say to Lacus? It's not like he wanted to really talk to Lacus, right?
----------------------------------------------------------------- --------
Kira just about searched everywhere he could think of. He even checked the cemetery where Siegel Clyne was berried, but she was not there. Something kept echoing in his head. Something that Athrun had said to him earlier.
“I'm afraid that… she might end up hurting herself”
Kira refused to let that happen. No matter what, Kira was not going to give up until he found Lacus.
`I hope hurting herself isn't the same as suicide'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Lacus roamed the streets. No emotions, no expression could be read on her face. She wasn't sure how long she had been walking; she didn't even know where she was anymore. None of it mattered to her anyways. Lacus found herself thinking intensively in the past.
Flashback
“Lacus” Kira called out. Lacus turned around only to have her body barricaded in Kira's arms. Lacus giggled as Kira placed small kisses on her neck. Kira and Lacus had only been dating officially for a week now. Kira had spent the last 3 days out of Japan for a school retreat to Kyoto.
“God… I missed you so much” Kira said, grabbing her face he placed his lips on hers. Lacus blushed uncontrollably. Lacus wasn't used to Kira always being like this… but it was going to take some getting used to since they were now dating.
“How was your trip?” Lacus asked. Kira smiled.
“It was so bad, I hated it since the moment I left” Kira said, kissing her cheek. Lacus giggled. Lacus lifted her right arm and placed it behind Kira's neck. Kira was still kissing her cheek. Lacus tried hard not to let herself moan, they were at school after all...
“…Why is that?” Lacus asked. Kira positioned Lacus so she was directly in front of him. Kira inched closer to her and devoured her into a passionate kiss.
“Because you weren't there…” Kira said, kissing her again. Kira was all over Lacus until they reached Lacus' first period class. Lacus broke away from the kiss, gasping for air.
“…Kira I need to go to …class” Lacus said, breathing heavily. Kira devoured her into another kiss. Breaking away from the kiss, Lacus sighed.
“Kira, you're going to get us both into a lot of trouble. Please I really need to-” Lacus was cut off as Kira kissed her again. Lacus gave in and kissed Kira back with more passion. Pushing Lacus up to the locker, Kira lifted her off the ground. He didn't care if anyone was starring at them right now. Unfortunately, they were caught by one of the teachers. Putting her down, Lacus pushed him away. Lacus got really upset at Kira. Lacus being mad at Kira was a big turn on for him. It made his lust for her increase. Because of Kira's greed, they were caught.
This got Lacus into a lot of trouble. The teacher that caught them was actually one of Lacus' teachers.
“I'm disappointed in you Ms. Clyne” Was all the teacher could say at the moment. Lacus was a little upset, but Kira on the other hand, almost bursted out laughing. Lacus was the supposedly perfect student. At least that's what everyone thought.
Kira loved it. Getting together with Lacus was the best thing that could have ever happened to him. Maybe it was because they were friends before. Their relationship was special, and they were envied by everyone.
After school that day, Kira and Lacus were walking home. Lacus of course was still mad at Kira for getting her in trouble with her teacher. She didn't say a word to Kira yet. Kira knew she was mad, he also knew that he could control her by kissing her. However, Kira wanted to wait a bit. Watching Lacus silently as he walked… her figure was breath taking, he enjoyed watching her. This is something he had discovered recently, probably discovered it since he started dating her.
“…Lacus…you know” Kira said. Lacus didn't respond. She conceitedly looked straight ahead. She wanted to make it clear that she didn't want to talk.
Kira bean to talk in a serious tone “…Sometimes I pinch myself, trying to see if I'm dreaming or not. Being with you… most of the time, I feel like it's a dream, it's too good to be true. But then I get scared with the reality, it is true. It's so true, but now that I know it's true, I become petrified at the idea of losing you…” Kira could see Lacus' expression change. She tried hard to pretend like she didn't hear anything. Closing in on the space between them, Kira slid his arms around her waist, he embraced her from behind.
“You don't know how grateful I am to have you… I love you Lacus” he rested his head on her shoulder. While still in his arms, Lacus turned around and kissed him passionately. Kira kissed back just as Lacus began the kiss. Parting from the kiss, Lacus gazed into his eyes lovingly.
“I love you too, Kira”
--------------------------------------------------
They were at Lacus' apartment. Siegel Clyne was working, he wouldn't be back till much later in the night. They were in Lacus' room. Kira's body hovered over Lacus' figure. She wasn't wearing a single piece of clothing.
Kira gazed at her body “…You're beautiful”
Lacus blushed massively, trying to cover herself. Kira grabbed her arms and held them away from her body. Lacus was feeling embarrassed.
“…Please don't stare” Lacus pleaded. Kira kissed her. He ignored the question. This was the first time he had gone this far with Lacus, and he was about to go even further…
“…Lacus are you sure about this… I don't have a problem waiting” he asked. Lacus nodded.
“…As long as it's with you… its okay. You can do anything you want…” Lacus said. Kira was a little shocked that Lacus would actually…agree so willingly.
“I love you Kira, I always have, ever since I met you”
…Was it really true? All this time, he tried so hard to look for the signs… did Lacus love him or not?
Kira was so blinded by love, how could he have noticed?
End Flashback
It was already noon. Kira was still searching for Lacus. He wasn't just about ready to give up. That's when he noticed a familiar pink haired girl. It was Lacus. He ran towards the pink haired beauty, hoping she wouldn't notice his presence. At least until he got close to her.
----------------------------------------------------------------- -------
Heading down to the outside patio, Athrun Zala carried a tray of food. Reaching the one the patio tables, he sat at the one where a certain blond was currently seated. Once she saw Athrun she got up. Placing the tray on the table he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her, she returned the kiss lovingly. Cagalli pulled away.
“How long is you're break?” Cagalli asked.
“An hour”
Cagalli took a seat, as did Athrun.
“You were right Athrun. Kira is as we speak, searching for Lacus” Cagalli smiled. Athrun leaned back.
“It all depends now on Kira. I wonder what Kira's decision is?” Athrun said.
----------------------------------------------------------------< /div>
“Lacus” Kira called out. Lacus was just a few steps away from him. She turned around, she was shocked. What exactly was going to happen here?
“…Lacus, I have to be honest…” Kira said. “…Back then… before you got married…” Kira was nervous. This was going to be a lot harder then he thought. Lacus wasn't sure what to think, she was so torn up in her thoughts. Her eyes quivered, she was just as nervous.
“I loved you so much Lacus. I've said it before, countless numbers of times. When I found out you were engaged. It tore me out from the inside. I couldn't eat… I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't stop thinking about you. The day of you're wedding… was the absolute worst day of my life. It was a feeling worse then death.” Kira said, barely able to keep a calm voice. Lacus walked closer to Kira, she could tell, he was being upfront with her… but why all of the sudden?
“I couldn't bare it anymore. I left the wedding, and then I left Japan. After I left, the person I once was, was completely gone. I became this, enraged person that enjoys hurting people… I was looking for you in ordered to tell you this.” Kira took in a deep breath, he exhaled.
“I still love you, I love you more then anything else within this world. But at the same time, there's this part of me that wants you to suffer…” Kira saw the hurt look on his face. Kira tried hard not let his emotions take over.
“I don't mean to feel this way. But I can't control it anymore” Kira took out his left hand and wrapped it around Lacus' neck, pulling her into an embrace. Lacus was shocked from Kira's sudden actions.
“…I'm sorry Lacus.” Kira said, pulling away from the embrace.
“…Kira”
Kira turned around. “…Please, don't waste you're time on an idiot like me. The longer we stay here the worse I feel it becoming… I think it's better if I leave Japan… this time for good.” Kira said, taking a step forward.
“…Kira I…” Lacus was unsure what to say. What was left for her to say?
“…Lacus, one day, you're going to find someone who could truly appreciate you…” Kira said. “Lacus the only way to-” Kira was silenced as he was slapped across the face. He rubbed his cheek, shocked at what had just happened.
Lacus inched closer; she rested her head on his chest. She grabbed a part of his shirt and clenched it tightly.
“Weren't you the one that taught me never to give up, no matter what?” Lacus said. “How can you say things like that… after all we've been through. I admit, what I did was wrong, and I deserve to be blamed. But everything you had just said …I don't believe a a single word you said. Even after 2 years, you're still as bad a liar as before.” Lacus said, holding her tears in.
“…Lacus I”
“When I found out my father arranged a marriage for me… it tore me up inside. I wanted to tell you so many times but… every time I saw you; you were always so full of joy. I could never bring myself to tell you. Then the day came, when you found out. When I saw the look in your eyes…” Lacus was in tears, she was sobbing uncontrollably.
“…Why do you think it was only you that suffered… how are you any different then me” Lacus said. “There isn't anyone else I want to be with… if I can't be with you, then I might as well end my life… losing you, is the same as dying. I struggled to live these past 2 years, but if you leave again… I don't think I'll be able to bare it.” Lacus said. Her sobs became louder and louder.
Starring down at her, his eyes were saddened.
“…Why?” he said.
“I've treated you like garbage. I deliberately tried to hurt you. Why do you try so …hard?” Kira said. “I'm an idiot; I deserve to suffer more then anyone else. I've been so selfish that I didn't even take the time to think about how you were going through all this…” he said. “…I hurt so many others in the process”
“I love you Kira. I'll do anything for you.” Lacus said. She pulled her head back, leaning forward; she went up on her toes and kissed him. At first Kira was shocked, but he kissed her back. Lacus slowly pulled away from the kiss. Unsure of what Kira was going to do. Wait… Kira kissed her back?
“…Kira I…” Lacus' body fidgeted. It was almost as if she had been pierced by something. Kira had his left arm wrapped around her waist; the space between them was tight.
“…Lacus, I'm sorry. If I was just-” Kira stopped; he noticed the colour of her eyes. It was almost as it was losing its colour. …No it did lose its colour…
“…Lacus?” Kira said curiously. Something felt strange.
“Lacus, Lacus, speak to me” Kira said. Lacus' face fell forward onto Kira's chest. She collapsed in his arms.
“…Lacus” Kira received one of the biggest shocks of his life. Since Lacus fell forward, Kira had no choice but to look down. Kira was scared out of his mind. How did this happen? He didn't hear anything...
All his thoughts about the past, everything he had done, everyone he had hurt… everything he was feeling. It all vanished at this moment. Something he would have never expected to happen, it happened.
Lacus was shot. Kira looked around, but he didn't find a single person….
---------------------------------------------------------
“Got her” Rau said. “It's just a matter of time now before she's gone.” Rau picked up his cell phone and dialed a number.
“Lacus Clyne is dead”
“Yes”
“I'll see you soon then” Rau hung up the phone. He then started taking apart his T.C.I. M89 SR (Sniper Rifle) and placing it back into its case.
--------------------------------------
Lacus was shot and it happened in Kira's arms. “Lacus look at me!” Kira said. Tears began to form in his eyes. The wound was serious, it looked fatal. With his left hand, Kira tore off the cloth around his neck. Kira picked her up and ran to the near by hospital located just a few blocks away.
“Hold on Lacus!”
----------------------------------------------------
There were 6 surgeons working on Lacus. They were trying desperately to retrieve the bullet and stop the bleeding. They said the bullet just missed her heart. Any lower and Lacus would've been gone, but the wound was still serious. Kira was watching everything from the window he was scared. How the hell did this happen?
The surgeons retrieved the bullet. Everything looked fine when suddenly.
Lacus fell into cardiac arrest. The surgeons were running around, trying to get her to breath.
“We're losing her doctor!” one of the surgeons said. Suddenly, Lacus' pulse dropped. What Kira saw on the life support system scared him to death. What he saw… was a straight line. Indicating Lacus was dead.
To be continued…
