Chapter 3: A Friendly-Tough Game & Unexpected Accident

As their eyes met both of them just stare at each other. His eyes lock with hers. All of the students notice them; both of them snapped out of it and blushed. It was Athrun who first withdraw and looks away. Cagalli look at the students especially at the girls and sweat drops as she saw them look at her with a death glare.

“What’s with the death glare? I just look at him then they all look at me like that…” Cagalli mutters.

“Ms. Hibiki, I want you to tour them here around the campus, if you have time.” Uzumi said.

“Hai.” Cagalli said and bows a bit to Uzumi and went down from the stage.

Cagalli roll eyes and went back to her friends.

“What happened to you there, Cags? You just stared at Athrun then the girls start staring you with their death glares.” Lacus asked with confusion.

Cagalli shrugs her shoulders.

“I don’t know they just suddenly stare at me like that as if I’m asking out the blue haired guy. Besides I’m just with them as their guide not that guy’s ‘KANOJO’ or whatsoever.” Cagalli said.

“You can go back now to your own respective classrooms. That’s all.” Uzumi said.

All of the students left the auditorium back to their respective classrooms. The three secret agents joins Kira’s group.

“Hey, haven’t lost of touch yet? You’re still popular to the girls.” Kira said laughing softly.

“Yeah… What can I say, I’m used to it but I still feel so bad and irritate when it comes to those ‘fan girls’, I rather to be alone or to be with someone who’s not like those girls.” Athrun said in bored tone.

“He’s even famous at the girls back at Mi… Arg!” Dearka clutch his stomach as Athrun hit his stomach to prevent Dearka to reveal about their mission and why they’re at the Academy.

“Huh? What do you mean?” Kira asked in confusion as he looks at the two guys.

“Nothing, Kira. What he meant is he’s talking about our previous school.” Athrun said. “Let’s go now to our tour, Miss Representative.” He whispers to Cagalli that makes her blushed and look at him. Athrun wink at her and starts walking with Kira, Dearka and Yzak.

Lacus, Milly and Shiho join Cagalli who’s still blushing and follows the guys silently. “It seems that you’re having an admirer, huh?” said Lacus and giggles. Cagalli blushes more.

“W-What are you saying! I think he’s not!” Cagalli said.

“I think that Seiran’s having a rival, huh, since he’s the president of the ‘Cagalli Fans Club’.” Milly said. Cagalli roll eyes.

“Don’t mention that freak; I tried my best to avoid that purple-headed-freak. He’s creeping me out…!” she said look disgusted. “And please can we drop this topic?”

The girls shrug their shoulders. “Ok. As you said so…” the girls said and giggle.

All of the students went back to their respective class room. While Cagalli tours the new students around the campus since they were excused for the first period. Its already second period for Class 1-A, all of the girls and boys change their uniforms into P.E. uniforms to their respective changing room and went to the Baseball Court.

“Okay, Class. Our activity for today is Base Ball. So this will be the boys versus the girls’ team.” A man said with a long wavy blonde hair and pair of sapphire eyes said. “Each team chooses their own respective team leader.” He continued. “I’ll be at the faculty room for the moment.” Mu said and went back to the faculty room.

The girls’ team chose Cagalli as their leader and also the pitcher. “Why, me?” Cagalli asked in frustration.

“It’s simple, coz you’re the most athletic here among the girls aside from Shiho.” Milly said.

“So, accept it. Besides you’re also a good pitcher.” Lacus said softly.

“And I’m good in hitting a home run!” Shiho laughs and the rest of the girls join her. Cagalli sighs in defeat and accept the position of the leader of their team.

Meanwhile at the boys’ team, the boys still haven’t decided who will be their leader if will be Athrun or Kira.

“Look, guys. I think that it’s better if Athrun will be the leader also our pitcher, not because I’ve known him since junior high years but he’s also the best player that I’ve ever known.” Kira explained. “Besides, I’m sure we can’t win against the girls’ team because of my sis. We need someone who can defeat her style.” Kira said grinning. The rest of the guys agreed with Kira and look at Athrun, who’s silently amused watching them.

“Hmmm… maybe it’s better to played with the hime, huh? Defeat hime’s playing style is also exciting.” Athrun amusedly thought.

“So who’s the catcher?” Dearka asked.

“I’ll be the catcher and Athrun will be the pitcher.” Kira said and look at Athrun. “You still remember our playing style?” he asked Athrun. Athrun nods silently.

“So the rest will be the batters, the shortstop, and umpire.” Yzak said.

“Are you sure that your sister doesn’t know about our playing style?” Athrun asked.

“Nah… She doesn’t know. She’s with her friends when we’re still in junior high.” Kira said assuring that Cagalli doesn’t know their playing styles.

“Are the both teams chose their leader and players?” Mu La Flagga asked as he came back from the faculty room. Each team nods.

“Okay, girls’ first to play.” Mu said.

Each member of the team went to their respective positions and the game starts. It’s a tough game each player wants to win even if it’s a friendly game. Especially between Cagalli and Athrun, there’s a bit tension between the two. It’s only one more homerun and the girls’ team wins.

“One more homerun and we’ll gonna win this game and I can’t believe that there’s someone who can almost beat my playing style…” Cagalli thought as she looks at Athrun in a silent angry-look. Milly and Shiho were waiting at the First and Second bases were Yzak and Dearka guarding at.

“She’s angry and it’s also mean that she’s defeating by my playing style. This surely a fun game”Athrun thought and gives Cagalli a teasing smirk that makes Cagalli feel angrier at him.

“What’s with the smirk for?!” Cagalli thought angrily.

Athrun look at Kira and Kira gives him a sign; Athrun nods and throws the ball. Since Athrun makes Cagalli angry more. She hits the ball really hard. All of the members of the each team watches the ball went out the baseball court.

“HOMERUN!” Cagalli shouts and starts running towards to the first base, Milly and Shiho starts running as Cagalli shouts. All three of them return to the home plate. All of the girls squeals and hugs to each other as they won the game.

“WE WON!!” the girls squeal happily.

“I guess making her angry is a wrong move…” Athrun said.

“Yeah… you make her angrier when you gave her a teasing smirk, Zala.” Yzak said.

“I know that… that’s why I feel regret for doing that. Besides I enjoy the game.” Athrun said as he looks at Cagalli. Cagalli saw him and gives him a death glare-look and then looks away.

“You two look more like a couple!” Dearka laughs.

“Shut up, Dearka.” Athrun said as he gives him a warning look. Dearka close his mouth and looks away.

“Okay, you all can go back to your room after shower.” Mu said.

“Hai!” Rest of the students said and went to the shower room.

The girls were taking a shower to clean up. Cagalli and her friends were talking about what happened earlier at the baseball court.

“What a homerun, Cagalli.” Shiho said while drying her hair with a towel. Milly and Lacus giggles.

“Yeah… you really look like Chidori Kaname of Full Metal Panic Series who’s hitting Sagara Sousuke with a baseball bat!” Milly giggles.

“That Blue-Headed guy makes fun of me, yeah! I feel like Kaname Chidori who’s hitting Sagara Sousuke with a baseball bat!” Cagalli said grits her teeth.

Shiho and the rest of their friends laugh.

“It’s okay at least we won!” Shiho said giving an upper punch in the air.

After shower, Cagalli and Athrun bumped with each other at the corridor.

“Hey, watch where you are going!” Cagalli hissed at Athrun.

“Huh? Me? You’re the one who bumps me.” Athrun said then smirks. “By the way, you pitch and hit like a little girl.” He teased Cagalli.

Cagalli starts loosing her temper. “MOU!! JERK! Let’s see if you can still say that when I hit you with a baseball bat!” Cagalli shouted angrily.

Athrun laughs. “Let’s see about that. See you later, Representative.” He smirks and headed towards back to their classroom.

“GRR! He really makes me mad!” Cagalli said gritting her teeth.

“Calm down, Cagalli.” Lacus said pats Cagalli’s shoulder. “He just teases you.” She continued.

“I know that but he’s really annoying, I hope that purple-headed-freak won’t show up suddenly.” Cagalli said as she calm down a bit.

“Let’s go back, third period is about to start.” Shiho said. The girls nod and went back to their room.

LUNCH BREAK

Cagalli and her friends were eating at the school grounds under a Japanese pine tree. Kira, Athrun, Dearka and Yzak join them. Kira sits between Lacus and Cagalli, Dearka and Yzak sits across Milly and Shiho and Athrun sits besides Cagalli.

“Oh, great, the jerk sits besides me.” Cagalli said in a sarcastic tone.

“Woah! I only teasing you so, there’s no room for sarcasm.” Athrun said and starts eating.

“Whatever.” Cagalli resumes eating ignoring Athrun.

Kira and the others look at the two with amusement in their eyes. They knew that there’s something between the two that the couple hasn’t notice yet. They look at each other and smiles.

Few minutes after, they finish eating their lunch and take a rest for a while.

“Hey, Cagalli, is it true that the student council approved the Singing and Band Contest for the Cultural Fest?” Lacus asked.

Cagalli nods. “Yes, the council approves it. I’m sure you’ll participate the contest right?” she asked Lacus.

“Yes, I will.” Lacus smiles then look at Kira.

“Cultural Festival?” Dearka asked.

“Yes, the academy will celebrate the cultural festival three weeks from now. So, that’s why everyone’s busy.” Milly said. “And I’ll cover every event.” She continued.

“Are you a member of the school journal or something?” Dearka asked.

Milly nods. “Yes, I am.” She said smiling.

“By the way, Cags. What’s our theme for our section?” Shiho asked.

“Hmmm… Since you asked that, Shiho, I think running a café will be ok.” said Cagalli.

“A café huh?” Dearka said with amusement.

“What kind of café is that?” Yzak asked.

“A maid café.” Said Cagalli.

“WHAT A MAID CAFÉ?! Don’t dare to tell me that you make us guys wear such a girly outfits?!” Yzak said angrily.

“Since you give me an idea, Joule-san, I maybe put that.” Cagalli said thoughtfully.

“What the heck! I won’t wear those things!” he continued. Dearka laughs so hard.

“STUPID! You’re also going to wear that so don’t laugh! BAKA!” Yzak shouts at Dearka. Dearka stops laughing and shuts his mouth.

Lacus and Milly giggles, Kira and Athrun sweat drops, Cagalli look at the two guys with amusement; Shiho turns to laugh at Yzak.

“I could imagine that one! Joule-kun wears a maid uniform! It’s look so cute for him!” Shiho said laughing so hard.

“Shut up woman!” Yzak said angrily. “Don’t laugh!”

Shiho laughs more. “But I feel like it! Besides it’s my payback time for hitting me on the head with the ball back at the baseball court!” she said in a controlled anger and laugh.

“Just shut up woman!” Yzak shouts angrily. Shiho gasped. “Don’t shout at me you hot-headed jerk!” Shiho shouts back. “Don’t laugh at me, Woman!” Yzak shouts back again, the two starts arguing with each other. Cagalli and the rest of the gang look at each other and sweat drops as they watch the two arguing.

“They look cute together.” Milly giggles. “Yeah…… I think they’re meant for each other.” Lacus said and giggles. The couple heard the two girls and glare at them angrily. Lacus hide behind Kira while Milly hides behind Dearka. Dearka grins impishly while Kira sighs.

“I would like to participate in a school play rather than a maid café.” Yzak said crossing his arms on his chest. “Look Joule-kun, most of the classes here was school play or performance and especially cafes. Besides what’s wrong with maid café? If you don’t like it then… why don’t we put it as Cosplay Café? Let’s combine maid café and cosplay, what do guys think?” Cagalli suggests to everyone.

“That’s a nice idea, Cagalli! Don’t worry about the costumes. I’ll take care of it.” Lacus said. “Thanks Lacus. Any costume will do but except for the mascot types and mecha type and those sexy types.” Cagalli said as she start taking down notes.

“Who will you cosplay, Cagalli?” Shiho asked as she eats her onigiri. “Hmmm… I like to cosplay… Chidori Kaname.” Cagalli said grinning. “And I love to hit someone here with baseball bat but I’m not sure about it if I’m going to cosplay her.” She looks at Athrun with a calm anger.

“Cagalli, how about us boys?” Kira asked. “You can cosplay any guy like a bishie from a famous manga or anime or anyone except for mecha and mascosts types.” Cagalli said. “Then I’ll cosplay a butler, Hayate.” Kira said. Lacus look at Kira. “Ara, Kira since when did you like Hayate from Hayate the Combat Butler?” Lacus asked. “Since I watch and read the manga.” Kira said smiling at her.

“How about you Shiho?” Milly asked. “Hmm…. I like to cross dress of course, maybe Azuma Yunoku from Kin’iro no Corda.” Shiho said who look deciding who she will cosplay. “How about you Lacus?” Milly asked again. “I’ll cosplay maybe a decora or maid.” Lacus said. “How about you, Milly?” she asked. “Me? Well I might cosplay Nami Amou, who’s also in the Kin’iro no Corda.” Milly said.

“How about you three?” Cagalli asked as she looks at Athrun, Dearka and Yzak. “Maybe a butler or waiter.” Dearka said. “I might be a waiter too.” Yzak said. “How about you, Athrun?” Kira asked as they all look at Athrun waiting his turn. “Hmmmm…” Athrun said while thinking then he looks at Cagalli for a sec and grins at her then look back at Kira and the others.

“Wait! What’s that grin for?!” Cagalli thought blushing.

“A butler… A very famous one from both anime and manga versions.” Athrun said. “A butler?” All of them said in unison. “Sebastian, Sebastian Michaelis form Kuroshitsuji.” Atrun said. “W-what?! SEBBBBYYYY!!!!” Cagalli said in disbelief. Athrun and the rest look at Cagalli. “Y-you? You’re going to cosplay Sebastian?! I really wish that you won’t ruin Sebastian’s BISHIENESS!!” Cagalli said pointing a finger at Athrun. “So you’re saying that I’m not good looking guy?” Athrun said as he starts teasing Cagalli. Cagalli look at him and start blushing. “Not that what I mean… A… e… just forget it!” Cagalli said as she stands up and tries to hide her embarrassment from everyone. “Ah! Look at the time, lunch over so we better go back to class.” Cagalli said nervously and hurriedly went back to their school building. Kira and the rest look at each other follow Cagalli.

“Cagalli! You don’t need to be hurry, wait for us!” Lacus said. Cagalli stops walking and wait for the others, didn’t she know someone standing from on the rooftop carrying a pot, and look down from where Cagalli stands, it grins evilly and drops it towards to Cagalli. Athrun look at Cagalli and saw someone drops the pot towards to Cagalli. He hurriedly runs towards to Cagalli and pushes her away right before the pot fell on her. Everyone look astonished on what did just Athrun do. He was on the top of Cagalli protecting her.

“W-what happened?? Did he just…. Protect me??” Cagalli thought and look surprised on what just happened.

A/N: It’s been a while since my last update in this fanfic, as I said in my author’s note in my stubbornly in love fanfic, I’ve been busy with my school activities since Finals’ coming and I’m also busy with my cosplay activities these last few months.

If you notice that some part here in this chapter, it mentions the cosplay café and the other characters from different anime or anything that related to cosplay. Aside from being an average student, and also a free time fanfic writer (if I’m free from my school activities and cosplay and other things I do in my daily life) I’m also a cosplayer too. ^__^ I’m cosplaying for one year now. I celebrate it last September 12, Cosplay Mania 2009. I cosplay as Cagalli Yula Athha from Gundam Seed/Seed Destiny. Although I never been to a Cosplay Café before since I haven’t seen one yet.

For the mean time I’ll take some rest from cosplaying since I need to concentrate for my studies. Again, please bear for me if I didn’t update my fics for the mean time . Please read and review. ^___^
