What could've been
By hitsu4hinaeva
Enjoy!
Her memories flashed in her head as she could've sworn she heard her favorite song.
They separated for a moment as she tilted her head down with tears in her eyes.
"I wanted to forget everything," she said, moving some hair dangling in Kotha's face. "So nothing could ever come between us." Lucy finished.
"Nyu…" said Kotha.
"Kotha, I'm so sorry, for all the sadness I caused you. I'm so sorry…" Lucy said.
"I'm sorry too."
She gasped almost when she heard that. She removed her hand from his face hesitantly.
"I know your lives' been hard … you didn't deserve that sadness." He was almost on the break of tears.
"I wish I could've done something." He said.
She looked up at him almost in disbelief.
Then she smiled almost shyly.
He started crying as he wrapped his arms around her, then she slowly hugged back.
Enjoying the moment that she knew would be brief, she closed her eyes and she nuzzled into his neck, him doing the same.
She lifted her head up smiling as she blushed.
She immediately started crying. Her tear followed her cheek down to her chin as it fell.
"I have to go home" said nana repeating Lucy's last words to herself.
Nearby, lights flashed on, brightening the area.
"I have to go home." She repeated again.
Soldiers lined up with guns and other various weapons.
"I have to go home…" she said, almost crying.
"Ready!" shouted one of the soldiers as they raised their guns.
They aimed for there their target, the queen diclonius, Lucy.
She stood not facing them.
Nana stopped on the steps and repeated again.
"I have to go home." She said with her head low.
She put her hand against the wall and said, "My family's waiting."
She gasped and raised her head slightly.
Lucy was waiting.
Waiting for them to shoot. She wanted to end this roller coaster of emotions … but that would be selfish… wouldn't it?
"Fire!" she opened her eyes.
Gunshots could be heard as she just stood there, letting her vectors do the work.
But then, a horn from a diclonius broke off the queen's head.
The little dog slept happily on the porch, escaping from the sun.
"Now if you just stayed organized, cleaning up wouldn't take so long!" Yuka scolded.
"If you don't hurry up and get it done you're not gonna get lunch-"she was cut off by Kotha.
"Alright! Alright! I know!" he exclaimed.
He opened up his music box and listened; staring at the shell that nyu got to replace the one Kanai got him.
An image of her handing him the shell flashed in his mind.
Yuka came up to him and asked, "Whatsa matter?"
He quickly put back the shell and replied with a simple, "Oh nothing…"
"You're getting better already!" Mayu said to Nana smiling.
"What do you mean? Anyone can curl sausage." Nana replied, looking up from the dishes she was washing with Mayu.
"That's true, but this time they weren't burnt." Said Mayu pouring water into another sink nearby.
"Hey! That's mean!" said Nana
Nana sighed and continued to work.
Yuka set the table, putting each cup upside-down on the table in front of each seat.
"Yuka." Kotha said.
"Hmn?" she asked.
"You know you just put out an extra bowl."
"I know, I thought it'd be nice. Ya' know, having her here." Said Yuka.
"Yea I guess you're right." replied Kotha.
"Thank you for the food!" everyone exclaimed.
Nana took one sip of the noodles.
"Yummy!" Nana exclaimed.
"That's right! This is your first time trying somen noodles!" said Yuka.
"Oh yeah!" said Nana. "I couldn't be last time you served them."
Both Yuka and Kotha looked up slightly, and Mayu just stared at her cup, and then looked at Nana.
"There are just so many wonderful things in this world." said Nana.
She started to form tears in her eyes as she remembered the face of Mariko.
"So many good things…" she was shaking now. And then she remembered Lucy.
She started to cry.
"Nana?" asked Mayu.
After a few seconds, Nana gasped and said "Oh I'm sorry!" she said wiping her tears away.
"Let's eat!" She exclaimed, taking some food from the bowl at the center of the table.
"That's right! You need to eat if you want to grow up healthy!" yuka said.
Kotha then heard the dog bark.
"Huh? Is someone at the gate?" Yuka asked.
"I'll go check." said Kotha.
And boy, the dog was barking happily.
There was a shadow figure at the gate.
Kotha just stood there, mesmerized at how familiar this presence was.
The song on the music box finally stopped and then the oddest thing happened…
The grandfather clock's minute hand reached the 12 on the clock.
The clock chimed, almost as it was happy.
Kotha, amazed at this phenomenon, turned his head.
"It's working…" he said
"Kotha..." said the figure.
He recognized the voice he ran to the gates and then!
DUH DUH DUHHHHHHHHHHHH...!!!!!!!!! My first Cliffhanger! YAY!!!
