Prologue

Battler could feel the water pressure from his ears; it hurt him as he kept going down to the bottom of the ocean. But he didn't care, no matter how much it hurt, he will never let go. Ever. He could feel Beatrice clawing his arms from her body to save him from going to the bottom of the ocean with her but he only tighten his hold even more. After some time, he felt Beatrice relaxing and stopped her attempts, she knew how stubborn Battler could be and only could resign to him.

I will never let you go. If you're going to fall into the Abyss, I'll fall together with you. If you're going to disappear, I'll disappear with you. We will always be together. You are my Golden Witch, mine alone.

Battler… You idiot…

I will never let you be alone again. If we are to be reincarnated, I will keep searching until I found you…

I wish that to happen…

Suddenly, everything stopped. They were no longer drowning to the bottom of the sea; instead they were standing in a world pitch black with only a big Sakura tree blossoming and its petals falling down. Battler was still holding Beatrice, and Beatrice still had her arms around him. They both had a confused look painted on their face. What's happening? They were drowning in the ocean just a few second ago, ready to disappear into the abyss. Where is this place?

"You are in the world of dreams."

A woman was standing right below the Sakura tree. She had a long black hair that passed her shoulders and sapphire blue eyes that seemed to glow in the darkness. Her face was painted with a small smile that seemed to welcome them.

"Who are you?" Battler asked as he tightened his hold on Beatrice. He didn't know who this woman is and where she came from and he didn't know what this woman was capable of. She might even tear him and Beatrice apart and put them in danger.

The woman chuckled at his acts. Her serene face seemed to be saying that she knew and understood everything. The woman could not help but smile and at the couple antics in front of her. One could see that they truly love and care for each other that nobody could tear them apart. The woman then raised her voice to answer Battler's question.

"I am Fiamariella del Bianco, the Sorceress of Time and Dimension. I have brought you two here to give you an offer."

An offer? Sorceress of Time and Dimension? Battler raised one of his eyebrows. What offer could she give to them? Is she really somebody who she claimed to be? He never heard such thing as the Sorceress of Time and Dimension. Battler looked at Beatrice; she too had a confused look on her face. It seemed that Beatrice herself didn't know that such sorceress existed. Is he really telling the truth?

The woman chuckled again.

"I know you don't believe me but I have genuinely come to give you an offer, an offer that may grant you your wish, Ushiromiya Battler."

"My wish?"

Battler recalled on when he made a wish. The last time he made a wish was when the both of them were drowning to the bottom of the sea. Could it be…?

"My wish on reincarnation?" Battle asked the woman. The woman nodded in response. How did this woman know his wish? He surely didn't tell anyone. And he made that wish when they were drowning!

"Who are you? I had never heard such thing as the Sorceress of Time and Dimension."

Battler looked at Beatrice who just raised her voice. It clearly seemed that Beatrice really didn't know the woman's existence and this discovery didn't make her feel good. It is a bit of a surprise for her to know that there was something that she, the Endless Witch, didn't know. The woman in question answered her question.

"The reason why you don't know me is because I lived in a different dimension. You must have hear the new Shop Owner that grant people their wishes right? I am a friend of his."

The new Shop Owner… Beatrice heard from her teacher that that shop had a new owner. So this woman is his friend? Beatrice never met the Shop Owner but she knew that he is a powerful magician.

"Enough about me, it is your choice to believe me or not but, as I had mentioned before, I had brought you two here to give you an offer."

"And what is this offer you are giving to me and Battler?"

"An offer to give you the chance to be reincarnated together."

"Reincarnated? Me and Beatrice? Together?"

"Yes, but before you make the decision, there is something that I must tell you."

Beatrice knew where this was going. She had heard that the Shop Owner grants wishes that is within of his power, but there is a price. The price has to be equal with the wish. There is a big possibility that this sorceress to require a price for their wishes to be granted.

"A price that is equal. And what is this price that we have to pay if we agreed to this offer?"

Battler glanced again to Beatrice. Her face was so serious and there is a hint worry and anxiousness. He didn't know what the price may be but judging Beatrice's face; it must not be something that is cheap. Battler glanced back to the sorceress that had raised her voice again to answer Beatrice's question.

"You are right; there is a price that has to be equal to the wish that is to be made. But I figured that I will tell you what the price is before the wish is made this time, unlike Yuko-san, the previous Shop Owner, or Watanuki, the new Shop Owner."

"And? What is the price?"

The Sorceress took a deep breath before answering Beatrice's next question. Her expression fell into sadness as she was about to tell the price. What is this price that could make the sorceress to be unwilling to tell after giving them that offer?

"The offer will be for you two to be able to be reincarnated together in the same world, a world that is not this world, along with your memories. You two will always be reincarnated until you are able to meet together and you need a trigger to be able to remember you memories. But, the price for this wish to be made is that you two will not always be reincarnated at the same time. Battler might be born on the day when Beatrice died after being reincarnated, or you two might not be able to find each other even though you were reincarnated at the same time period."

The sorceress looked guilty after telling both of them what the price is. But it couldn't be helped, the price for them to be together is equal to this. They have to endure a long time of loneliness before they can be together. The sorceress stared at Battler and Beatrice, both of them was expressionless. It seemed they really were thinking about this offer.

"There are some things I haven't told you. After you two able to meet each other, the next time you two were reincarnated, the possibility of finding each other is much bigger. No, it is guaranteed that you two will find each other. And not only you two that will be reincarnated; the Ushiromiya family and the servants will also be reincarnated along with their memories, but of course they need to trigger it. They may also not be reincarnated at the same time as you two, but you will surely meet them."

The sorceress took a deep breath before continuing.

"So, are you two willing to take the chances of hundreds of years of loneliness and multiple reincarnations for a single meeting that will definitely allow you to be together?"

Beatrice listened to the sorceress offer carefully. To be honest, the offer is not bad. She will be able to be together with Battler after a single meeting that will guarantee them to be together. She looked up to see Battler's face; he too seemed to be considering this offer. But the main problem is…

Will they be able to endure years of loneliness and heartbreak for many years that are very unpredictable?

"I have decided."

Beatrice looked up again to Battler. He has made his choice. Was he going to agree, or would he not? If he agreed, they will have to experience many pain and loneliness. If he didn't, they will be forever in the Abyss but together and would never be separated. But…

I want to live a life with you…

Beatrice didn't realize that her head was facing down until she felt Battler's hand on her chin and gently made her looked up to him. He had a soft smile on his face that made Beatrice's heartbeat to beat loudly. From that smile, she too knew her answer. She rested her head on Battler's chest with a small smile on her face. They both had decided.

Battler smiled at Beatrice and looked back to the sorceress who seemed to be amused with their acts. They had both decided their answers without any need of discussion; this showed how much they trust each other. Battler opened his mouth to answer.

"We have decided to take that offer." He answered. "I don't care how much pain that we will have to endure, as long as we are able to be together, I will face all of those things."

The sorceress seemed to be content with the answer. If they truly love each other, they would be willing to face a lot of hardships in order to be together. She could see true love blooming between the two in front of her. Their faces were full of resolve and without hesitations as they made their choice. She raised her hand and her magic circle appeared and glowed below Battler and Beatrice.

"Alright then, if that is your wish then I will grant them." She concentrated for a moment and the two in front of her started to glow.

"I wish you two all the best."

And she disappeared. Battler and Beatrice found themselves back drowning deep in the ocean with their bodies glowing. Battler tightened his hold again at Beatrice before both of them started disappearing.

"I promise to find you at all cost, so wait for me. We will be together."

Beatrice smiled back at Battler, "Yes, I'll wait for you, no matter how long it will. Maybe I'll find you first."

Battler had one of his eyebrow raised, "Is that a challenge, Beato?"

Beatrice chuckled a little, "Maybe it is."

Battler chuckled back and rested his forehead on her, "I'll take that challenge."

They both chuckled and then disappeared in white lights.

I'll find you.

I'll wait for you.

"Welcome back, Fia. Did you grant the two lovers' wish?"

Fia appeared from behind Watanuki. She saw Watanuki smoking his pipe while sitting on the terrace of his shop. A bottle of sake along with two cups is right beside him. Fia sat beside him and took a cup. Watanuki poured the sake into her cup.

"I did, they looked so determined to find each other that I couldn't help but to admire them." She took a sip from her cup. Watanuki inhaled from the pipe and released the smoke.

"Was it equal?"

"Who knows? I didn't get hurt so it may as well be equal. Even if it is not equal, I will still give them that offer."

Watanuki leaned his head on his palm and stared at his friend, "And why is that?"

Fia chuckled slightly before sipping her sake again, "Both of them had endured a lot of pain and suffering. I had seen how they both suffered and only to be torn apart when they were about to be happy together. I can't help it that I felt I had to help them when it is within my power."

"You are such a good kid, aren't you?"

"I didn't do this because I wanted to be praised you know?"

"I know."

Fia stared at the Sakura tree in front of her before looking up to the night sky with her cup raised towards it.

"May you two lovers be blessed to meet each other soon."

And that is the prologue! Fia is from my other fanfic, "The Day We met". I haven't updated that fanfic for years! The dream world is from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, and Watanuki is, of course, from xxxHoLic!

I decided to make this fanfic because I found Umineko no Naku Koro ni to be amazing! I really love Battler and Beato together and can't help but be inspired to make this reincarnation fic! The fic is set on Episode 8 when they were drowning together. I hope that I can finish this…
