Gundam SEED Fan Fiction ❯ Eternal Love ❯ Chapter 9 ( Chapter 9 )

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

 

Cagalli sat by her couch watching her television when a loud disturbance caught her attention. It was the sound of someone knocking on her door, It was early in the afternoon; the only person she would expect to see at this time was Athrun. Cagalli slowly got up and made her way to her front door.

 

Cagalli unlocked the door and opened it. It was just as she had thought, It was none other then Athrun. “Hey Cagalli, have you ever seen Entity?” Athrun asked. Cagalli shook her head.

 

“Never heard of it” She said. Cagalli stood aside and let Athrun in, she closed the door just as Athrun had enough space to stand clear of the door.

 

“Well, I guess we have plans for tonight then” Athrun grinned. Cagalli smiled.

 

“Whatever you say” she said, walking back into her apartment. Athrun took off his jacket and placed it on a near by chair and followed Cagalli.

 

“…Did Kira call?” he asked, it was a question that he had to think about before asking. Athrun had a feeling that Cagalli didn't want to talk about it, it was clear when he saw her shrug her shoulders by the sound of his name.

 

“…No” she simply replied. She took a seat on the couch, Athrun sat next to her, and he put his hand around her and pulled her head towards his chest. Cagalli wasn't shocked or surprised by Athrun's actions. It was something she had gotten used over the passed 2 years. She gently closed her eyes and leaned peacefully on Athrun.

 

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

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

 

They had finally put aside there feelings and stopped their actions. It was hard for both of them, but they managed to keep their hands off each other for the time being. Lacus really wanted to know how things turned out between Kira and herself. Kira on the other hand, was a little worried. He was going to tell her everything that had happened. Something bad could end up happening. But something good might happen as well. It was a 50-50 gamble, but it was a gamble that he had to take. He prayed to god that Lacus wouldn't take it the wrong way. Kira hesitated at first. He didn't know how to start it.

 

“This is kind of hard for me to say…” he said. He looked down, and clutched his knees. Lacus smiled and put a hand over Kira's.

 

“Please Kira” she said. There they were again, Lacus' eyes. They had pleaded desperately with Kira; there was no way in hell that he could ever refuse those eyes. They would always put him in some sort of a trance.

 

Kira shut his eyes and took a deep breath as he sighed. It was now or never. He had told her absolutely everything. He started way back when they were in high school, then to how they hooked up, to how she got engaged to someone else. Kira had told Lacus his true intensions of his company Infinity. He didn't want to say it, but he admitted that his attentions were to hurt Lacus' company. The company that had been merged with Mark, that was created by Siegel had ended because of what Kira.

 

 

Kira didn't leave anything out. He told her everything that he had gone through, all the hate he had for her. He then explained what happened; she had gotten shot in his arms. Everything seemed to be expressed fairly clear. When Kira had finished explaining everything, she was shocked. It didn't make logical sense to her. She was mainly thinking about the part where Kira didn't want her to get married to help people from suffering, she focused even more on the fact that Kira had put together a company and had tore what her father tried so hard to build.

 

“…I don't understand, why would… how could you do something so cruel and heartless?” Lacus said. She winced at the information that had been encircling her mind over and over again. Kira regretted it, he wished that he had never done it in the first place, but he wanted to be honest with her.

 

“…Lacus I” Kira tried to speak but stopped once Lacus began to speak. She had tears formed in her eyes, tears of pain and confusion.

 

“…My father had worked so hard to put together that company, it was a huge success, he wanted to expand it in order to save millions of souls around the globe… how could you just do such a cruel thing like that?” Her eyes fixed on his; she shot a hurtful look that made Kira's heart cry out in agony.

 

“…I'm sorry Lacus, I'm sorry. I just felt hurt, I really didn't take it lightly, watching you get married…” he said. Kira tried to search her expression for any sign of understanding, but it didn't look like Lacus wanted to understand, not after he had destroyed her father like that.

 

“…When people are hurt, they cry, feel depressed, mope, get angry, and feel dozens of other emotions. They just don't destroy people's lives to get even!” Tears began to seep through her eyes. Kira's eyes widened with shock, he was an idiot. He suspected something like this would happen, but he felt that Lacus would've retained that same emotional state that she had with him before her memory loss. That just goes to show you that a person who lost their memory, won't always see things that he or she had understood previously. Lacus thought about the situation in her own point of view. Kira was a heartless, malicious, hurtful person. That was her conclusion. She could never forgive someone who tried to destroy her father.

 

“My father had always told me, that before my mother died, her dying wish was for him to put an end to all the people that suffered in the world. My father was just trying to fulfill my mother's dying wish. And when he finally achieved it, you took it and destroyed…everything he stood for” she said, her composure was completely over the line. She couldn't retain a stable mind. Lacus never thought that she could act like this, but she couldn't control it, everything she was thinking was blurted out.

 

“Lacus, I'm sorry” Kira went to go reach for her shoulder but his hand was slapped away. She didn't want his comfort. He was the man that destroyed her father's integrity. She just couldn't believe at how fast her feelings for Kira had changed. All she could think about was how much she hated him.

 

“…Don't touch me” she said, turning away. Kira could feel the coldness of her words. He didn't know what to do; she didn't want to understand him. They were making out a couple of minutes ago, and now she doesn't even want to look at him. Kira hated himself, why oh why did he have to do the right thing this one time?

 

“You're mad at me, I know. You don't want anything to do with me now, right?” he said, he could already feel the answer just by the way Lacus carried herself. Lacus didn't say anything, she was done, and she had nothing left to say. Kira smiled.

 

“…I guess I'll just bring you back to the hospital…” Kira said. He didn't think there was much of a choice, she didn't want to be alone, she didn't want to be with Kira, and she didn't have a home to go back to. Going back to the hospital was the only option. She didn't really want to go back, but she couldn't stay here, not with Kira. Not with her current state of mind.

 

“…No, I'm not going back…” she said, avoiding eye contact with Kira.

 

“…Lacus, you have no where else to go” Kira said, frowning. “Not to mention that you don't like to be near anyone.”

 

“I don't need to go anywhere. I'm perfectly fine on my own!” she said, it didn't take two heads to realize that she was annoyed by him. Kira sighed. Lacus had the habit of acting like a child when she was mad.

 

“Lacus” he called, but was ignored as Lacus walked passed him, almost a jog. She was heading towards the entrance of the room. She opened the door and walked out, never looking back. Kira quickly ran after her, closing the door behind him.

 

Storming down the hall, Lacus was nearing the elevators. Kira caught up just in time. “…Lacus wait”

 

Lacus didn't turn around; she only walked faster as Kira walked towards her. Just as Lacus pushed the button to the elevator, her legs gave out. “AHH” She fell forward, but was saved as Kira extended his arm to hers; he caught her by the arm just before her head hit the ground. He gently pulled her up to safety.

 

Lacus quickly fought with herself to stand on her feet. Once she was able to do that, she quickly pushed Kira away. “Don't help me” her eyes had tears in them. What did he do? Why oh why didn't Kira suppress the truth? There was never a 50-50 gamble in the first place.

 

The doors to the elevator opened. Lacus pulled herself away from Kira and went in. Kira quickly followed her in. There wasn't anyone else in the elevator. Lacus' eyes widened with shock to see that Kira had followed her in. Lacus quickly pressed the ground level button.

 

“Why are you following me?” she asked. Kira didn't know what to say. He wanted to tell her what he was really feeling, but Lacus would just reject him, just like what she's doing right now. So he gave her the non personal response.

 

“I don't want to send you out there alone. If you like it or not, I'm not going to let you go alone.” He said, just as the doors to the elevator opened. Lacus doesn't want to hear it anymore, she just doesn't. She tries to walk away from Kira, but he extends his hand out and grabs her. He doesn't want to let her go like this.

 

Lacus forced her way out of Kira's grasp. It worked; she ran out the building but was caught again by Kira's arm. “Let me go!” she said. There isn't anyone around, there were no witness'

 

Kira forcefully grabbed her and looks into her eyes. “Just where are you going to go Lacus?!” he yells. Lacus is startled by Kira's words. She doesn't know what to do.

 

He looks her into her eyes. “Lacus the moment you're left alone, you'll most likely get molested. There's a lot of perverts in Japan, and you're no ordinary person. You're body will attract others” he said. He was being honest. But Lacus really didn't care about anything he had to say. Kira destroyed her father; she didn't want anything to do with him right now. She turns away, avoiding eye contact.

 

“Stop treating me like I'm yours!” She screams. Lacus frees one of her hands and slaps Kira in the face. It was no ordinary slap. She slapped him with everything she had. Kira wasn't aware that Lacus was that strong, he was shocked. Lacus would have never really a finger on him like that, unless it was a playful one…

 

…But right now, she isn't Lacus. She's a completely different person. Kira is unable to retaliate; he would never hurt a woman, especially Lacus. After the slap, Kira had let loose the grasp he had on her other hand. Lacus ran off, she ran as fast as her feet could carry.

 

He was unable to move. He didn't know why, but he didn't chase after her. It was as if he had given up. Just like before, when he realized he had lost Lacus before, he never tried to fight for her back. He didn't say a word at the time she was about to get married, and he couldn't say a word now. He just watched as Lacus ran off. “…I'm sorry Lacus. I'm sorry I'm so worthless”

 

“…Dad, I guess you were right. I'm just a hopeless person that would never know the true meaning of life. I should've ended my life when I realized I was worthless…” Kira said to himself. He had been speaking to himself a lot lately, probably from being isolated for so long. Kira walked into the direction that Lacus ran too, he didn't know if he'd find her. He just didn't know what he was going to do now. Without a destination in mind, he just continued to walk forward down the path.

 

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

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

 

Walking down the sidewalk, Kira found himself thinking of the time his father killed himself. It was a memory he tried so hard to block out, but this memory would never disappear. It'll stay with him forever.

 

Flashback

 

“Cagalli, where were you?” Kira asked, trying to make out the expression on Cagalli's face. He was only 9 years old, but he could easily figure out what Cagalli was thinking. Cagalli just sighed; she would always try to hide things from Kira. Kira however, always knew that she lied to him, he didn't expect the truth from her, but he asked her anyways.

 

“…I was at Katie's house.” She simply replied. Her voice reeked of lies. Kira didn't push it though. He was glad she wasn't hurt. He was only 9 years of age, but he was extremely gifted. Too bad his father never realized it.

 

“…Can't you at least call? Dad was really worried about you” Kira said. He had received a beating last night. Cagalli never came home, she was out all night. Kira was sent to look for her, but as always, he came home alone. He knew what was waiting if he had come home alone. It was something known as common sense to him. Ulen beat Kira like always.

 

Cagalli's eyes widened as she saw fresh cuts on Kira's right arm. “…Kira, every time I see you, you're always hurt. But I never seem to have my eyes on you when you get hurt” she said, her mind was filled with curiosity. “…Why?”

 

Kira sighed. He really didn't like lying to her, but he did it for her own good. He put on a smile like he had always done. “…Well I don't have a clue why” he said. “It usually happens when I'm out looking for you though. I just don't see why you can't just tell me or dad where you're going when you leave”

 

Cagalli looked down, she felt guilty. Kira always tries to find her, but she goes places where she doesn't want to be found. “…I'm sorry” she said.

 

“…It's okay. Just please tell me or dad before you go out. I don't want anything to happen to you Cagalli” Kira said. Cagalli just smiled.

 

“…Okay. I promise” she said. It was the first time that she had smiled like that, and it was the first time she had made that promise with Kira, but it was also the last time.

 

A few days later, Cagalli had gone over to her friend's house to sleep over. She told her father this time, it saved Kira a beating. But Kira always expected the worst, that's the kind of state his father had made him very aware of.

 

It was late in the evening. His father had come home drunk around 8. It wasn't too late, but when his father had gone up into his office, he had called for Kira. Kira already knew… well he had a feeling what he wanted. It was always the same. He wanted to relieve his stress by beating Kira.

 

Kira walked into his father's office room. It's where Ulen did all of his work. Kira felt a little uneasy, but shrugged it off. He was prepared for a beating, like always. But this time, his father didn't get up. He actually didn't even turn around to face Kira. He just sat there on his chair, his back faced at Kira. Ulen was looking outside of his window.

 

“…Y…yes dad?” Kira said, breaking the awkwardness, like always. A grunt escaped Ulen's mouth, but he didn't get up. But that grunt did startle Kira a little bit.

 

“…You're mother, she was the type of person that loved to help others…” he said. Kira's eyes widened with shock. This was the first time that his father had actually spoken about their mother, infact, it was the first time that his father had actually spoken to him in a long time. Kira was definitely confused, but he was also curious.

 

“…When I first met you're mother, I envied her. She was able to easily start a conversation with complete stranger. When she talked to them, it seemed as though she was talking to her best friend.” Ulen said. “There aren't too many people that have that gift”

 

Ulen turned around and faced Kira. His eyes were filled with rage. “When you were being born, you had pulled out you're mothers ovaries, and you destroyed her uterus. You're mother bleed to death because you killed her. It's a miracle that Cagalli made it out alive.” Kira knew his beating was going to come soon, he just knew it. But his father continued…

 

“…Kira, I would trade you in a heartbeat for you're mother. I can't stand you, you're eyes, you're hair, the way you silently accept a beating from me without resisting every damn time! It's driving me insane!” his father said. Kira looked down at his feat. He didn't want to look at his father's eyes, the eyes that were filled with pure hatred for Kira. “Look at me Kira” his father ordered. Kira forced himself to look up into his father's hateful eyes.

 

“…I want you to remember this Kira.” Ulen said. He slammed his palms on the desk. “You killed the only person that mattered to me. Remember Kira, someone like you will never find true happiness, that's the faith of a person who had killed at birth. I earnestly hope you live a sorrowful, vengeful, pitiful, pathetic, miserable, disgusting life!” With that, Ulen went into a drawer and pulled out a 9mm hand gun. Kira's eyes widened. He thought his father had finally had enough; he was going to kill him. His dad snapped the safety off and aimed it towards his head. But then slowly, the gun ended up pointing towards Kira. Kira realized the situation easily. …He wasn't afraid.

 

“…Dad? …I'm sorry. I tried to do everything that I could, I guess since I killed mom, I deserve to die. I'm already living a miserable life, go head kill me. I'm only 9 years old, but I'm not afraid to die. If it'll make you happy then just do it…” Kira said. His eyes didn't show any sign of emotion. “…I'm sick of all this anyways” Ulen's eyes widened. His hand shook; he couldn't keep a calm steady hand. Those words had obviously gotten to Ulen.

 

“…” Ulen slowly removed the gun from Kira's head, he then placed it in the inside of his mouth.

 

He pulled the trigger.

 

What Kira saw, haunted him for a very long time. But he made a promise never to let Cagalli know the truth of the kind of person Ulen was. He didn't know why, but he wanted to protect his father so badly. He wanted Cagalli to believe that their father was a good person.

 

The wound that had opened on that day never truly heal.

 

End flashback

 

Kira shook his head, trying to get the images of his past out of his mind. It didn't take Kira long to regain his composure. He looked down the endless path, wondering where Lacus is…

 

Lacus was the only person, he loved her more then anything. Even if Lacus hates him now, he still wanted to make sure she wasn't hurt.

 

Kira ran off, he followed the path that Lacus had gone through. He was just hoping that he would find her with no problems. …If something happened to her… he would never forgive himself.

 

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

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

 

Lacus ran and ran; she didn't know where she was going, she just wanted to make sure that Kira stopped following her. After a while of running she stopped, she looked around and noticed that Kira wasn't behind her, actually… he was no where in sight. She sighed. She thought he would come running after her, but he didn't. She was out of breath, she saw a near by bench and went for it. Just as she was nearing the bench, her legs began to tremble like nothing she had felt before. She hadn't been on her feet this long before, they were beginning to give out on her.

 

Lacus very painfully walked towards the bench, her legs still trembling. Just as she got to the bench, her legs fully collapsed. Lacus very painfully walked towards the bench. Just as she got to the bench, her legs fully collapsed. She made it safely on the bench.

 

“…Phew, that was close” she looked down and her thigh's, placing her hand on the both of them. They were throbbing. It was kind of scaring her so she decided to stay off her feat for awhile. She gently continued to rub her legs.

 

“…Why did I behave the way that I did? …I don't think I've ever felt like that before…” Lacus said to herself. She could still feel her heart still pounding. The more Lacus thought about Kira, the guiltier she felt. She knew that she wasn't that type of person. But… but… he destroyed her father… why would she feel guilty? Lacus continued to go over what happened in her mind. Over and over the scenes replayed in her mind. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't realize that someone was approaching her.

 

A tall man had walked up to her. He had dark brown hair, almost black. His eyes had a violet colour to them; it was a much lighter shade then Kira's eyes. He wore black leather pants with a light blue shirt, on his shoulders he wore a black leather jacket that went down past his waist, it went with his outfit “…Excuse me, but are you alright?” the man asked. Noticing the lost expression on Lacus' face.

 

Lacus regained her composure and looked over at the voice that was calling out to her. She looked up and that man that was looking down at her.

 

“…Umm… yes, I'm fine.” Lacus answered, feeling a bit embarrassed. He must've seen her while she was in her own world thinking of what happened back there between herself and Kira.

 

“…Are you sure, you look as though you're lost” the man said, getting a close look at her eyes. Lacus had a very attractive figure; her body had the power to draw pretty much anyone. It was the thing that Kira had warned her about. Lacus thought about what Kira had said. She tried hard to not listen to anything Kira had said. She blocked everything Kira had told her from her mind.

 

“…Umm, can I help you?” Lacus asked. The man quickly blushed. The man smiled, his loving smile shot shivers down Lacus' spine. “…It's just that, you don't see beautiful girls sitting on a bench alone on such a gorgeous day like this one” the man said. Lacus quickly blushed at his words.

 

“…” Lacus was speechless. She didn't know what to do in a situation like this. When she was with Kira, they kissed. But… this situation was completely different. The man smiled again. He gave out his hand and gave a loving smile.

 

“My name is Seth” he smiled. His perfect teeth made his smile seem perfect. Lacus blushed again. She reached out and grabbed his hand. She smiled this time.

 

“I'm Lacus, nice to meet you” she said. She was afraid of people getting near her before, but she felt something there. This person seemed to give off the same aura as Kira. He looked like a very sweet and kind young man. He looked into his eyes lovingly, it made Lacus blush to the max.

 

“…You've got really pretty eyes” Seth said, making Lacus blush even more. Seth removed his hand from Lacus' and took a seat next to her. They both began to talk to each other for awhile.

 

“…You know I would really like a chance to talk to you better. Do you want to go grab a coffee or something?” Seth asked. Lacus smiled. She seemed to have grown a lot more comfortable then when she first saw Seth.

 

“…Sure, I would love to” Lacus hesitantly answered. Seth got up and reached out his hand to Lacus. Lacus gently grabbed his hand. Lacus was pulled up rather fast. Seth intentionally pulled her up too hard, but he made it seem like an accident. Lacus came crashing into Seth's chest. Seth immediately wrapped his arms around her in a tight grab.

 

Lacus was a little shocked; she wasn't sure how she ended up like this. But she also found herself not moving from Seth's grasp. Seth's eyes widened when he noticed that Lacus didn't say anything, nor do anything.

 

`…Are you serious? Damn, this was easier then I thought!' Seth thought to himself.

 

“Sorry, I don't realize my own strength sometimes. Are you okay Lacus?” he asked. His eyes were filled with worry. Damn, he was such a great actor. Lacus looked up, their lips were inches away.

 

“…Yes, thank you…” she said. She began to blush, what was wrong with her. She only met him awhile go, but something about this situation seemed so warm, so right. Seth inched closer and kissed her. Right or not, Lacus tried to pull herself away, but Seth's grip on her was preventing her from pulling away. It certainly didn't seem like Lacus was pulling away from the kiss. The kiss had caught the attention of a certain brunet.

 

“…Lacus?” Kira said. He was right behind Lacus. Seth pulled away from Lacus and looked over her shoulder; his eyes were glaring at Kira. Lacus instantly turned around the second Seth and pulled his lips off hers. Her eyes locked with Kira.

 

A strong feeling of remorse struck her heart hard. She didn't know why, but she had regretted ever meeting Seth right now. Lacus tried to say something, but nothing was coming out. She didn't know what to say. A strong feeling had come to her mind. `…He came after me after all…'

 

The moment Kira's eyes had landed on that kiss, was the moment Kira knew that he would change. At first he was filled with confusion, remorse, sadness, and fear. But know. All he felt was rage. Darkness had filled his heart again, just like before. Lacus had the chance to save him, but because she had run off, Kira was beyond saving.

 

`…You're definitely right dad. About everything' Kira said to himself mentally. The colour of Kira's eyes changed, it darkened. It seems as though that something had snapped inside of Kira. It was a feeling much worse then the rage he felt when he watched Lacus get married, it was a feeling he had never experienced before.

 

It was the feeling of pure hatred.

 

Seth gasped as he saw the look in Kira eyes, it actually made him scared. But Seth was a pretty built guy; he thought he could take Kira.

 

Lacus also saw the hatred look in his eyes. It actually made her a little scared.

 

“…Kira …I” Lacus tried to apologize, but it was too late.

 

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

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

 

“...Damn, that was one long flight!” Shinn yelled. People around the airport starred at him. He didn't mean for him to say it so loud, but he really didn't care about what people thought about him.

 

Carrying his bags out of the terminal, Shinn headed straight into the outer walls of the air port. It had been awhile since Shinn had been in his hometown, but he was glad to be back. He wanted to visit his family first, but his primary goal was to search for Kira and stand by his side. There was still a risk that people might still be after him.

 

“I have no idea where Kira could be. I better start searching now” Shinn said to himself. He headed out of the airport and took the first taxi he saw.

 

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

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

 

 

Athrun and Cagalli were walking down the street. They weren't going to see that movie till later tonight; they were just taking a walk.

 

“You know Athrun; I've never had a chance to ask you. What was the worst way you've ever broken it off with a girl?” Cagalli asked, giggling. She always enjoyed Athrun's stories. Cagalli knew she had a hold on Athrun, so she had nothing to worry about. Athrun smiled, remembering the perfect one.

 

Athrun chuckled. “Let's see. Back in high school, grade 10. I dated this girl that just never shut the hell up. She talked a lot before, but when I started dating her, there was no end.” Athrun said, starting to burst out laughing. Just remembering the way he did it almost made tears of laughter escape.

 

“Well?” Cagalli said.

 

“You see the night before, I was thinking of a way to do it. I was watching TV, and I flipped onto a TV show, the Simpsons. There was this one part where they were breaking up with someone. So I decided to use it.” Athrun laughed again.

 

“…Sorry I never watched that show. What did you do?” Cagalli asked.

 

“I wrote her a letter.” He said, bursting out in laughter. “I wrote: Hey Baby! Welcome to Dumpvill, population you!” Athrun said. Cagalli's eyes widened.

 

“…Oh my god, Athrun how could you?” Cagalli said. That was the absolutely worst way to break it off with someone!” Cagalli said. She was obviously mad at Athrun.

 

“Well there's nothing I can do now” Athrun said. Cagalli slightly giggled. “…You're such a loser Athrun”

 

“Ha-ha…. I know. Don't worry thought. I love you; I promise I'll never do anything to hurt you.” Athrun said. He pulled Cagalli into an embrace and kissed her. Cagalli didn't hesitate, she kissed him back. Athrun parted slowly from the kiss. He looked at Cagalli lovingly. Cagalli gently opened up her eyes and gazed into Athrun's eyes.

 

“…That's it?” Cagalli asked. Athrun chuckled. He was about to kiss her again when he saw something over Cagalli's shoulder, it was quite a distance away.

 

“…Kira?” Athrun said. Cagalli instantly looked over in the direct that Athrun was looking at.

 

“Kira… oh my…god …let's go Cagalli!” Athrun yelled running down the street. Cagalli saw the situation and quickly followed Athrun.

 

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

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

 

“…Kira …I” Lacus tried to apologize, but it was too late. Seth looked at Kira; his eyes were still glaring at him.

 

“Who the hell do you think you are?” Seth said, trying to sound cool. Kira glared right back at Seth, without a word to say. It's not that he had nothing to say, he was just keeping quiet.

 

“You keep staring me down, and I'm going to beat you” Seth said, moving a head passed Lacus.

 

“I was about to say the same thing” Kira said. His voice was low, it was completely different then Kira's regular voice. Seth finally had enough of Kira. He didn't know who the hell he was but he wanted to mess him up pretty badly. Doing it in front of Lacus will probably make him look good as well

 

Seth inched closer to Kira and quickly and threw a punch. Kira slightly moved to the left, dodging Seth's attack. The second the attack was evaded, Kira instantly threw his palm and grabbed Seth by the neck. He effortlessly squeezed his neck hard, cutting off his air supply. Lacus gasped. Lacus didn't have a single word to say, right now, there wasn't anything she could do.

 

Seth tried to get out of Kira's grasp, but there wasn't anything he could do. He struggled a lot; he was trying his best to breath. It was just a matter of time before he was dead. Kira saw what he was trying to do so he threw Seth into the ground next the bench. Seth knocked his head on the leg of the bench, causing him to lose consciousness

 

Lacus gasped as she noticed Seth flying into the bench leg, she felt bad for getting him involved in this. Lacus quickly glared at Kira, but her glare quickly faded. She felt fear. Kira's eyes were so cold… so emotionless. Lacus didn't know what to do; she didn't know what to say. …This Kira had a completely different look then the Kira she had seen before. Lacus was now regretting everything she had said before. Kira took a step toward Lacus and Lacus took a step back. Lacus avoided eye contact with Kira. She realized that she hurt Kira. It's not if she tried to kiss him back. Seth prevented her from breaking out of the kiss, but then again, Lacus could've tried harder. “…Kira I'm sorry for the way I- AHH!” Lacus screamed. There wasn't anybody in sight, the area was cleaned out of pedestrians.

 

Lacus was cut off as Kira grabbed her shirt by the collar, he tugged her hard. His grip on her shirt was tight; there was no way she'd be able to break free. Their eyes locked. Lacus had to admit, she really was frightened. Kira was so different now; he might actually try to hurt her.

 

Kira put both hands on her shirt pulled her really close to her face. He wanted her to look at him. Lacus tried to loosen Kira's grip with her hands, but Lacus' strength was way too low. That didn't stop Lacus from trying though. Kira locked his eyes with her; she had nowhere else to look but into Kira's eyes. Water began to form in Lacus' eyes. She had never been so terrified before, excluding the fact that Lacus has memory loss.

 

“You listen to me Lacus, and you listen well.” Kira said. His tone still remained cold as ever.

 

“I may have done a lot of things that destroyed what you and you're father stood up for. I've may have tried to hurt you a lot in the past. But the day is going to come when you get all of you're memories back. And when they come back, I know you're going to want to come back to me. I want to make this as clear as possible to you Lacus. When that moment comes, I don't ever want anything to do with you again. Don't try to find me, don't try to contact me. We're through, do you hear me?” Kira asked. Lacus was still struck in terror. Kira shook her to bring her back; it was just a slight shake, nothing too over powering.

 

“Do you?!” Kira said impatiently. His dark eyes pierced right through her eyes, she felt paralyzed. Lacus quickly nodded. Tears began to roll down her cheek.

 

“Good, I also want you to remember this Lacus. Everything I am, I am because of everything you've done” Kira said, loosening his grip on Lacus. Lacus didn't move from that spot, she just stood there in shock. Terror was still struck into her heart.

 

“…Kira!” Athrun called out. Athrun and Cagalli had just arrived as he loosened his grip on Lacus. Kira immediately turned around and walked the other way. He didn't even attempt to look at either of them. Cagalli quickly rushed to Lacus' side.

 

“Lacus are you alright?” Cagalli asked. Lacus didn't respond. She was too stunned. Athrun noticed the emotionless expression on Lacus' face. Right after noticing, Athrun immediately went after Kira.

 

“Kira wait!” Athrun said, running up to Kira. He was about to put a hand on Kira's shoulder when Kira suddenly turned around punched Athrun hard in the face, he got hit right in the left cheek. Athrun fell over to the ground. Cagalli's eyes widened.

 

“…Athrun!” Cagalli called out. Her eyes immediately locked with Kira's. Her eyes widened. Kira eyes looked so familiar, they reminded her of their father, yet so different. Never in her life has she seen his eyes looked like that. She saw the coldness look in his eyes. It struck the same type of fear that had shot through Lacus. Kira glared at her for a quick second before turning the other way.

 

Kira walked down the street and out of sight. Kira's mind was filled with hatred; all he could think about was how much he hated Lacus. He thought he loved her before, but maybe now, he could see things more clearly. Kira now had a new goal. He would do whatever it takes, to hurt Lacus in every way possible.
