Prologue
"No! it can't be, he can't be dead!" Miranda wailed, her chest heaving with sobs, her eyes red and puffy. "I can't believe it and I won't, Supervisor Komui! It's Kanda! He can't die, can he?" Her eyes pleaded with the supervisor, who sighed. He wished he could make it all not so. He wished that this damn war could have never started. So many lives tragically and needlessly cut short. Tina, Gwen, Suman..
"I'm sorry Miranda, but we believe its true. We found Mugen. I can't tell you much but we believe the state that we found Mugen in means that its host has been destroyed." Komui said, the pain of having to admit this to both Miranda and to himself clearly evident on his face. Miranda's face crumpled and she fell down onto one of Komui's untidy-as-always sofas. "I never got to tell him.." she whispered, a pained smile coming to her face. "I never told him.. I love him."
The rest of the war time dragged on. Eventually, two years later the Earl was finally defeated, yet the Order had taken a heavy blow. Krory, Bookman, Noise, Sokkaro and Cross all lay dead at the Order's chapel. Miranda had wanted to helped to clean their bodies, and to dress them for their coffins. Every time she burst into tears and the head nurse had to shoo her away for both her own and Miranda's sanity. Of course this made Miranda feel even more useless than she had done anyway. If the Order's uniform had not have been black she would have taken to wearing it, for ever since the day she had been told Yuu Kanda had been killed in battle, she had been in mourning.
Her heart was heavy with the pain and regret of never making her love known, even if he'd have thrown it back in her face, never knowing his reply was even worse than knowing nothing could have come from it, surely? She had agonised over telling him, she became infatuated with him shortly after joining the Order herself. She found everything about him fascinating, from his dark silken hair, to his smouldering eyes, his high boned and defined face, his - oh she was going to start sobbing again.
After the Order disbanded Miranda drifted. Thankfully with her confidence she had gained from belonging to the Order, not to mention her improved balance due to the hard physical training, she managed to hold down a job for more than a week. In fact she managed to keep her job until she retired. She always held that twinge of regret over Kanda though. She never married, for she wasn't interested in anyone except the one man she last saw running away from her in the infirmary, running to his death, she thought wryly.
Just like when Yuu Kanda died, there was no one with Miranda Lotto. Sitting in her favourite armchair in front of an also dying fire, she put down her china cup of tea. She knew it was her time. As the veil of darkness drew closer, she smiled serenely. Maybe, just maybe, she could be with him now.
Yea, I know, what the hell am I doing :D Prologue chapter and I've killed the two main characters? :D Maybe this is going to end up a little too predictable, but what the hell. I want to write it so I will :D
I was listening to My Immortal by Evanescence when I was writing this, so hopefully I've made it nice and depressing :p
