I'm Back
A/N: Huge spoilers for the fifth light novel! AND OMG YAY TAKANE'S BACK. Though seriously, I'm not sure what happened to Konoha as of the moment cause his parts haven't been translated yet. Well, at least, yay for HaruTaka! I'm still crying right now, but this are tears of happiness! Hehe.
Konoha opened his eyes as he noticed and heard footsteps near the entrance of their headquarters. As he walked to open it, it might be one of their members after all and they were all waiting for Seto and Kano to come back, Kido and Shintaro stood up from their positions in the couch to walk with him.
When they opened it, Kano and Seto went in, the former barging in with a grin, "Ah~ Sorry for everything."
"You-!" Shintaro was between tears and madness as he punched the shorter boy and shouted, "How can you have made all of us worry!"
"Ne-" Seto was unfortunately cut off as he tried to talk.
"We should just go in the living room," Kido said as she tried to pull back Shintaro who was near to tears and was still near Kano's figure. Referring to the blond, she added, "Welcome home, Kano."
"Heh~" the look on Kano's face was, for once, sincere.
"B-but!"
"Stop being a crybaby," Shintaro was promptly kicked in the face by a familiar female with beautiful black hair in twin pigtails. Said girl gave him a glare as she added, "Or should I say.."
"Master?" Kano prompted smirking as Shintaro shouted in shock, voicing out Kido's shock as well, "Ene?!"
"Shut it both of you!" The girl said as she kicked the two to somewhere in the headquarters. Kido looked shock but when Seto just gave a carefree grin, the two walked after the two who were kicked and left the girl alone with the still almost-frozen Konoha.
"Haa," the girl's unpleasant glare turned into a small quirk of nostalgic smile and then for the first time in the evening, she met Konoha's surprised gaze, "And you!"
"Ta...kane?"
"You finally remembered, you idiot!" The girl punched him in the face. She looked down and said, "I've been with you all this time, I've watched over you all the time as the cybergirl, I've always wished to finally meet you like this...!"
Takane's eyes were brimming with unshed tears as she continued to look down, silently thankful that she kicked out the others.
"Ah," she felt a hand on the top of her head and she heard the tall boy said, "I'm sorry, Takane."
"I should be the one sorry," she continued to look down and mustering up all of her will not to cry, she met Konoha's eyes and muttered, "I'm finally back, Haruka and I... Will never leave you again."
A small smile, almost alien on the android's face, formed as he said, "Me too, Takane."
"Then, let's just make sure to keep our promise this time around, alright?"
"Yep."
Takane wanted to say more, most especially about what she really wanted to tell him. But in the moment, it can wait. They'll finish this ever-repeating summer days first and cherish her time with him. And when all this ends, she'll tell him.
This time, she's going to keep her promise.
A/N: Hope everyone liked this as much as I did aaah the feels.
