"Mom, I'll miss you", Kira gave Caridad a hug and sighed. He wanted to leave remembering her gentle smile. He wanted her to be happy.

His mom had been crying for 3 day and 3 nights after being informed about his urgent departure. Mrs. Yamato was a kind woman and also a very emotional one. She let her son go and gave him a big smile.

"I hope you do well, give your dad my regards and take care of Cagalli. I'm always here so come visit me whenever you can. I'm only a few hundred miles away."

Kira chuckled at his mom's joke, "I'll call you every Sunday so just wait for my call. And don't worry about Cagalli, she's a strong girl. I'll do my best to take care of dad and let him enjoy his last days. You should come with me, I'm sure he would want to see you."

Caridad looked nervously at the ground, "I can't, I'm sorry. I don't want him to see me like this. Good Luck, make me proud."

"Ok, mom. Good-bye." Kira slowly walked onto the plane and turned around one last time to give his mom a wave which she sadly returned.

He sat down in his first class seat and buckled up. He stared out the window and remembered his old memories of high school, when he last came to Orb five years ago. He eventually fell asleep and had sweet dreams.

Kira was woken up by the flight attendant a few hours later at 3pm, "Mr. Yamato, the plane has landed, please slowly take your leave." Kira finally realized that he overslept and thanked the flight attendant.

As he got off, he failed to notice a girl behind him blushing. Kira was usually quite popular in school because of his wealth, his looks, his grade, and his kindness/politeness towards everyone. He even had his own fanclub in high school, but he rejected all the girls who asked him out.

The problem got even worse in college since there weren't many Japanese guys around. His dad told him that he didn't have time to think about his love life until he was an accomplished business man.

At the airport, Kira was greeted by two young men. "Good evening Sir, It is my honor to meet you. My name is Ahmed El Fasi, I will be one of your personal guards." "It is very nice to meet you, I am Kuzzey Buskirk. I will be your private driver and chauffeur from here on."

Kira shook both of their hands and introduced himself, "It is also very gratifying to meet the two of you. As you may already know, my name is Kira Yamato and I've been studying abroad in France for the last 5 years. I also want to let you know that I know how to protect myself. Please call me Kira." Kira smiled and followed his escorts to the limousine.

"We have arrived to your home." Kira closed his cellphone (he was texting to his friends) and looked outside at a very,very large estate. Ahmed oped the door for him, "Please watch your step. Inside, the maids will show you to your room. I will bring your luggage inside within the next half hour."

"Thank-you, Ahmed and Kuzzey." As Kira walked up the steps to his manor, a butler of around his father's age kindly opened the door for him. Inside, the maids introduced themselves and led him to his room on the second floor. The head maid opened the door to his room and walked in after him. "Thank-you, Murrue. Just to let you know, I will not be eating dinner here today so please tell that to the chef, Mwu was it?" Kira collapsed onto the bed.

"Yes, young master. Take your rest and I'll be sure to pass on the message. I'll take my leave now." Murrue took her leave quietly.

It was 6:30 when Kira's cell phone rang. His blurry vision flashed over the blue object. He groggily sat up, rubbing his eyes in the process to look at the caller ID; it was Athrun, his best buudy.

"Hello?" Kira greeted.
"Sup Kira! Are you coming?" Athrun greeted back energetically.
"Uhh...Yeah. What was the address again?" Kira yawned.
"I texted it to you."
"Oh Okay. Thanks, I'll see you in an hour." Kira ended the call after Athrun parted.

The young business man stretched the muscle tension on his back. Then, he made his way over to the bathroom for a refreshing shower.

Kira picked out a beige colored suit with a matching purple tie. Flashing himself in front of the mirror again, he smiled and left his room after grabbing his wallet and slid it in his butt pocket.

Kuzzey was at the bottom of the staircase, waiting for Kira.

"Young master." Kuzzey greeted him.

"Ah, Kuzzey. I want to drive. You can take a break for the evening." Kira said.

"Alright, I'll bring your car to the front."

"Thanks." Kuzzey walked off to the garage on the west wing of the estate. Looking around, Kira called over the butler who was walking toward the front door. "Arnold, please tell Murrue that I'll be home late."

Arnold nodded and opened the door for Kira. "I'll be sure to pass it on. Please take care and have fun."

Kira thanked the butler and walked down the steps. His custom-made Porsche imported way back from France was already waiting for him by the fountain with Kuzzey waiting on the driver's side.

"Thanks Kuzzey." Kira said as he entered the driver's seat.

Kuzzey closed the car door and waved off to Kira.

As Kira was driving, his cell phone vibrated loudly. He put the bluetooth in his right ear and spoke into it. "Hello, Kira Yamato speaking." He said in a business matter tone.

"Yo little bro! How's it going back there in France? I wanted to ask when you were going to come back to Japan because I heard about dad." (Cagalli doesn't know that he's in the city yet)
"I ummmm... soon I guess."
"Okay, good luck with the company."

Kira sighed, she just had to be soooo nosy and bug him. And besides he was the older one!

He finally made it to the Sato Sushi five star restaurant and parked his car near the front where he spotted Dearka waving at him. Athrun was standing with his hands in his pocket and Yzak was leaning on one of the poles.

"Hey guys, sorry I'm late. My sister just called me from the US." Kira gave them a nervous smile.
"You have a sister?" Athrun asked. "Is she hot?" Dearka curiously questioned. "Is she a natural or coordinator?" Yzak was usually quiet unless if he was interested in something.

"Slow down! Umm… Yes, she's my twin sister and she is a natural. I would prefer not to tell you what she looks like, cuz if I see you touching her, I'm going to hurt you. I didn't waste my time getting a black belt in judo, tae-kwon-do, kendo and karate for nothing!" Kira usually was the calm type, but he WAS an overprotective brother.

Very few people got to see him pissed off. And those people were his closest friends. "Ummm, sorry Kira, I was just curious. Let's go in, it's cold out here." Dearka tried to calm his mind.

The four high-school friends walked in and took their seat. They all ordered spicy dragon rolls (soo good) and talked about their lives.

Athrun: "So I went to study abroad in Germany to get a master's degree in business. I can now speak English, Japanese, German, Russian and Mandarin. As you guys already know, I will be taking over my father's company that creates mechanical toys and stuff." Athrun wanted to be an inventor, but since he was an only child, he had to become a business man.

Dearka and Yzak: "Yzak and I both went to the University of Business in Russia and we shared an apartment. We both got a bachelor's degree and Yzak will be working as head of the communication department while I will be working as the head of the Marketing Department at the Zala Inc. So we will work under Athrun for the next few years." Dearka spoke for Yzak as always.

Kira: "Ummm, I left to study abroad in France and I stayed with my mother for the past 5 years. I can speak Japanese, English, Russian, French, 3 Chinese dialects, and Spanish. I heard about my sickly father recently and came back to take over the Yamato Corp. I will be doing a lot of business with the Zala Inc. and more major companies." Kira was pretty accomplished and was already one of the richest millionaires in Japan before Athrun.

Dinner ended and the friends parted. Kira reach his estate, brushed his teeth, set his alarm clock for 7:30 am and went to sleep. The nest morning, he woke up and took a shower.

Kira dressed into his running clothes and decided to go for a walk in the park. He grabbed his handy-dandy post it stack and scribbled down: Murrue, I will be back before 10:30am, please call me if there is an urgent matter.

Downstairs, Kuzzey greeted him, "Good morning master Kira, did you sleep well?"
"Yes, I did. Did anything come today?"Kira asked
"The car you ordered came in yesterday night. It seems to be the red unreleased model of the ferrari." Kuzzey answered.
"Can you take it to the front for me? I would like to take a walk in the park, but it is too far to walk to." Kira chuckled at his own joke.
"It should take about five minutes. Would you like anything else?" Kuzzey offered.
"That's all." Kira walked to the kitchen to look for the chef.

"Are you looking for me?" Mwu asked from behind him.
"In fact, I am." Kira did look the least bit surprised.
"Well Kira, what do you need?" Mwu questioned.

"I would like a bottled water and that's it for breakfast." Kira requested.
"Hmmm, well there is a whole case in the backseat of both of your cars." Mwu answered.
"Oh, thanks a lot. I should get going now." Kira waved and left the room.

In the next room, he noticed Arnold was vacuuming the carpet. "Good morning, young master. Would you like me to open the door for you?" Arnold turned off the vacuum cleaner and looked at Kira.

"Thank-you. But, I can open the door by myself." Kira gave him a smile and Arnold looked embarrassed.
"Have fun then!" Arnold shouted after Kira left.

Outside, Kuzzey was standing next to the driver's seat like usual. He opened the door for Kira and Kira closed it. "I know how to close doors without anyone helping me. Thanks anyways. I should get going now."

Kuzzey stood outside the car silently and waved. Then he closed the main gate. Kira didn't need to use his gps, considering he remembered the location from back in his high-school days.

He found a spot in the parking lot easily and grabbed a water bottle from the ice chest on the back seat. He grabbed his cellphone and pedometer before leaving his precious car. When walking away, he pushed the security button on his key and then invisible lasers formed around his car.

He attached the pedometer to his waist and started by jogging. He was pretty athletic and he had a well toned body because of his judo, karate, kendo and tae-kwon-do classes in college.

The park was about 4/5 of a mile all the way around. It had freshly green painted benches and big, shady trees. The pond in the middle had a few cranes, but mostly ducks. Kira used to walk the pond whenever there was a problem going on and he wanted to refresh his mind.

On his third lap, he decided to take a break. He leaned against one of the closest trees and rememebered his high school days. He would always remember that time when Athrun got duck poop in his hair.

FLASHBACK

"Hey Athrun. Did you do the project on the country you picked yet? It's due tomorrow." Kira reminded Athrun.
"Oh shit!--" plop "I feel something sticky and gooey on my head. What is it Kira?" Athrun was really pissed off.

"It looks like bird shit to me. You should hurry home and get it off or else your hair will smell for a whole week." Kira warned.
"Are you kidding me? This bird shit--" plop "is freaking gay. Imma go home now before anymore bird--" plop "I didn't even say shit--" plop "yet"

"Bye Athrun, good luck with the--" "Don't say it." Athrun interrupted

END OF FLASHBACK

On a bench nearby, a girl with pink hair tried to stand up, but she fell forward. 'This is going to hurt...a lot' she thought.
Before she felt any cold, hard cement on her face, she felt a pair of strong, warm arms holding her.

"Are you OK, miss--" "Lacus Sakino. I'm pretty much alright except for the fact that I twisted my ankle. I'll be fine, please let go of me." She interrupted.

"I can't until you get back home. I assume that you walked here correct?" Kira asked.
"Yes, I did. My house isn't that far away from here." Lacus tried to stand up ,but she fell down again. Kira bent down, "Get on my back." He instructed.

Lacus looked hesitant, but finally agreed. Kira walked... I mean carried her to his car and opened it. He dropped her on the passenger side of the car and walked to the other side. He turned on the engine and radio.

Lacus's favorite song; Fields of Hope by Tanaka Rie came on and she sofltly sang along. Unaware that Kira turned the radio off, she continued singing until she finally noticed that the screen of the radio system was blank.

"Why did you turn it off? It was a good song." Lacus complained.
"You have a beautiful voice you know. I'd rather listen to you sing." Kira gave Lacus one of his charming smiles and caused her to blush. Lacus hadn't payed any attention to his looks up until now.

Kira stoped the engine and opend the door for Lacus. "That reminds me, I never told you where I lived." Lacus stated. She eyed Kira with suspicion. "Are you going to kidnap me?"

Kira laughed at her words, "I was getting a little hungry so I decided to drop by this cafe to get breakfast. I thought you would be hungry too." Kira reasoned.

"This place..." Lacus looked at the worn down building. "I used to go here a lot with my friends and family back in high-school." Kira carried her in and set her down on the chair.

"What would you like today?" A waiter came by and handed him and Lacus a menu. "Thank-you Andrew. I would like to talk to you later about something important." Kira ignored the man's shocked face and talked to Lacus.

Lacus gave Kira a questioning look,"He's the owner of this place. His name is Andrew Watfield. What would you like to eat and drink?" Kira asked.
"I'm not that hungry." Lacus's stomach grumbled as if on cue. She blushed and Kira chuckled.

"We'd like two white chocolate mochas with a shot of hazelnut for mine and rasberry for Lacus. And for treats, I would like a gourmet muffin and chocolate chip almond cookie." Kira gave Andrew the menus back and at that moment, a blonde with short hair walked in.

Kira looked at her carefully, "Cagalli? Is that you?" he asked. "She took off her sunglasses and walked towards his table. "Kira? You're back already?" she asked.
