To any new readers, up to chapter 8 the writing isn't the best, so please forgive me for the lack of quality, I was never the best at writing stories, mostly ones that include dialogue because I just spam the story with it. So, enjoy the fic!

Chapter 1: When Fate is Victorious

It was early in the morning. The suns rays were weak as they descend to the stone pathway. This place wasn't a place you would be familiar with, in fact, this is a whole different world. The pathway stretched towards an old ruin. There, on top of the ruins, stood two people. One looked very confused while the other was facing away and had a serious look on his face.

"I'm leaving, Rem." one of them said, "I'm not coming back."

This boy, he came from another world, a world unknown to anyone but very few. With his arrival in this world, he was given a power, a power that allows him to Return by death. This boys name was Natsuki Subaru.

"Subaru-kun?"

The other person called out, her voice was sweet and had a worrying tone, she was confused. This girl was wearing a maids outfit, she had short blue hair that concealed her right eye. She was holding a basket of appas. This girl, her name was Rem, she was a maid of the Roswall Mansion, she also happens to be an oni.

"I said I'm leaving!"

Subaru repeated his words but in a more serious tone.

"But why?" Rem asked, confused about what he meant. She then lets out a gasp. "D-Did Rem upset Subaru-kun in someway! Subaru-kun? Please, tell Rem if she did something wrong, Rem will make it up to you, Rem will do anything!"

With that his face turns into one that saw death straight in the face, he knew it all too well, he knew she would do anything for him, even throwing her life away, and he didn't want that.

"Its all my fault."

His tone of voice becomes remorseful

"Subaru-kun?"

"Its all because of me, because I couldn't do anything."

"Subaru-kun, what do you mean."

Rem, still puzzled by his sudden declaration, continues to question him.

"All the bad things that happened, Its all my fault, I know it is."

"So if I leave the rest of you can be safe."

The White Whale it attacked us because it was attracted to me, the witch cultist they attacked us because they were attracted to me. The puppy in the village, it probably came because it was attracted to me. All of it, it was because of me... It's all my fault.

"No... Subaru-kun, please."

"I have to, there's no other choice."

"There has to be, please don't leave... Please don't leave Rem."

Subaru will reject any method that involves other people risking their lives, he is ok with just risking his life, as long as everyone else lives, he doesn't care.

"I don't want to see anyone else suffer because of my powerlessness."

"Then let Rem help!"

"NO!" he suddenly raised his voice and glares at her.

"But Rem has to go with you"

"If you come with me then you'll die, then there would no point in me running away."

That's what he thought, if he ran away with Rem, she would be endangered, maebest will constantly be a threat because of Subaru. If Rem goes away with Subaru, she probably won't be able to see Ram ever again. When the mansion gets attacked by the witch cult. Everyone would die, if Rem finds out that Ram died then she might just kill herself. Subaru didn't want that. If Rem stayed in the mansion before the attack they just might have a chance. He held on to that chance.

"So Why..." Subaru mutters, and Rem heard it.

"Subaru-kun?"

"Why, why do you want to come with me? I've just been a burden to you, to Ram, to Emilia."

"No, you have-"

"Yes, I have! You never needed me in the mansion, all I did was distract you and Ram from your work"

"But..."

"Because of me, Emilia was humiliated during the meeting for the Royal Selection!"

"Subaru-kun..."

Because of me, soo many people died, even if no one remembers

He went back at the thought of the massacred village, and it filled him with despair. He turned to face Rem.

"So why? Why do you want to follow me, TELL ME WHY!?"

"..."

"Is it because Roswall told you to!"

"..."

"It is, isn't it..."

"..."

"No... that's not why"

"Then why?"

"Its... because... Rem cannot bear the thought of Subaru-kun in danger"

She hesitated a bit, she wasn't sure if she should tell him.

"If Subaru-kun goes alone, he will surely perish, Rem doesn't want that"

"Well, I don't care, I'm still leaving and I won't let you come with me, or anyone for that matter."

Subaru refuses her reason and begins to walk away, slowly.

"No... Subaru-kun..." she starts to follow him, but he abruptly stops.

"Go back, Emilia doesn't need me, no one needs me, I cant do anything, I'll only cause problems"

"But, what about Rem, Rem needs you"

He stops, but without turning he says

"No, you don't."

That hit Rem like a rock, she immediately objects it.

"Yes, I do!"

"WHY, so you and Nee-sama won't have to do as much work!"

"NO... Rem needs you because..."

"BECAUSE REM LOVES YOU"

"..."

He made no reaction. He already knew what she was going to say, that's why he showed no reaction, no, he had no reaction because his mind was completely clouded with a scene he never wanted to see again. The moment Rem tried to save him, the moment she got killed, its all because of him, he blamed himself for it all. With that, he fell to his knees still facing away from Rem.

Rem was shocked but didn't move from her position, she shut her eyes until she heard a faint noise.

"No..."

He asks quietly, his voice was drowned by his emotions, it was barely audible.

"Subaru-kun?" Rem calls out to him.

"Why," he says it, still in a low voice but it was enough for Rem to hear

"I'm nothing"

She was shocked.

"No... Subaru-kun..."

"There is nothing to love about me"

"Yes there is"

She instantly rebukes his statement, that made his heart hurt, he knows too well that he is incapable of doing anything, and he accepts that. He is just a shut-in NEET whos all talk.

"What! What is there to love, my powerlessness, my foolishness!"

He spits out those words, his voice slowly grew bitter. Rem flinches at his bitterness.

"Subaru-kun might be weak and foolish at times... but despite that, he tries his best to help everyone, even if it cost his own life"

"no..."

"When we were in the forest, you risked your life so Rem and Nee-sama can escape"

"No... if Roswall wasn't there we would have all died, I barely did anything..."

"If Subaru-kun wasn't in the forest Rem and Nee-sama wouldn't have survived"

"The reason you went in the forest, was because of me..."

He blamed it all on himself, it was him that caused the problem, he doesn't want to be praised because of it.

"When we were saving that girl, Subaru-kun risked his life to save Rem"

"..."

"And when Subaru-kun woke up, he was happy Rem was safe, he didn't care about his injuries, and he told Rem things that Rem wanted to hear the most"

"I... no..."

"Subaru-kun melted Rems frozen heart, the one that was frozen during the fiery night when Rem had lost almost everything"

"stop..."

He knew he was utterly worthless, so he kept refusing her words.

"And that's why I love Subaru-kun"

There was silence,

"But I'm useless, I'm worthless, I hate myself"

"No matter, ill still love Subaru-kun"

"Even if you get killed because of me"

"Yes"

"But why..." his voice grew weak.

"Because your my hero Subaru-kun"

He had enough, he didn't want to risk her life for his own well-being. He had to make her go back.

"Rem, Go back to the mansion"

"Rem won't leave you"

"If you love me, go back to the mansion... and live..."

"But if Rem leaves, Rem may never see Subaru-kun ever again"

"I'll come back when I feel like it" He sounded grim.

"But..."

"GO NOW"

His voice then became hoarse. He lifts himself off the ground, still facing the other way.

"If... if you say so... Subaru-kun..."

With that Rem starts to walk down the stairs, Subaru couldn't see it but he knew Rem was crying, he could hear faint sobs from her direction. Her heart was probably. He heard one last thing before she left.

"Rem... Rem is sorry she was too weak to help you."

He then felt a sharp pain in his heart...

That seems like a good place to put a cliffhanger don't you think?

Well, it turned out better than I thought it would, seems this is my first time making one, but I did do a whole month of planning in my mind before actually saying to myself hey, you've got the skills for it so why not try, there's no harm in it right?

Just saying, the hardest part of this chapter was thinking about the Title, I mean I was never that good at naming things, took me like one whole day of none stop thinking to get GO, I know... (edit: I changed it now, after 3 weeks that is...)

Anyway, Hope you enjoyed, I'm aiming for an 8 - 10 chapter story, I've planned out the whole story so don't worry about some sort of hiatus.
