My first Guilty Gear fic, inspired by the creation of Sin and my original character named __________. So okay, if one says that the DizzyxKy pairing isn't confirmed, why don't you play the game or watch video streams and see if the visage of the Maiden of the Grove there isn't proof enough. I hate it when people deny the truth to comfort themselves!

Anyway, here is the quite long prologue of my multi-chap, if lucky, story. Enjoy!

Prologue

After a few months worth of waiting, the Maiden of the Grove will be finally released from the time stasis she's in. Dr. Paradigm was inspecting the situation again, making sure that there will be no bad events that will entail the dispelling of the seal.

"Doctor, are you sure this'll work?" the king asked. He's been quite restless lately, probably because his wife will be able to join him and his son soon. The gear just nodded as he went on with his inspection but another gear spoke,

"It will, because Parakeet here begged me for help."

"Frederick will you stop calling me that!" the gear turned to retort but remembered his important task. "It would help if you kept your mouth shut for a while, rude monkey!"

"Hey, hurry up!" another man spoke, his light blond hair lashing on his forehead as he couldn't make himself stop pacing to and fro. "I wanna see Mom now!" he shouted but Sol quickly shut him up for good.

"Shut up for a second will ya!? Bird's trying to concentrate here."

"Old man…" the young man said as he showed his puppy dog eyes, as if begging like a child.

"Patience, Sin. Doctor will be finished soon and you will finally be with your mother." The King said as he gazed up at the Maiden of the Grove who stood there motionless. He was longing for her return too.

"Ky…" Sin, being scolded for being impatient twice, resorted to jostle his feet on the floor to busy his self at the least.

"Well then," Doctor Paradigm finally spoke, "I will release her from the seal." And there was a moment of silence as the gear cast a spell to disable the stasis that encircled the Maiden. A bright light shined in the center of the room of seals which quickly disappeared into the vast space.

Dizzy, no longer under the seal, fell to the floor but Ky was able to catch her in time. In the arms of her beloved, she opened her eyes to see the faces of the people who looked ragged and stressed yet there was relief in their expressions.

"What happened?" she said weakly yet she had the strength to offer everyone her smile. Sin was unable to hide his feelings and cried as he wrapped his arms around his dear mother. "Sin?" Dizzy was quite perplexed at the sudden show of emotions.

"You've been asleep for quite a while, you just don't know how long." Sol said as he exhaled smoke from his cigar.

Dizzy tried to stand up but failed miserably. Ky grabbed her, then supported her by making her lean on his chest. Sin was troubled by her sudden weakness; she couldn't even stand on her own.

"Are you okay Mom?" Sin panicked, hoping that nothing bad happened to Dizzy.

"The sublimation must have sapped your strength. And since you were in stasis, you might not have been able to regain the strength that you lost." Doctor Paradigm explained as he quickly glanced onto his notes.

"Maybe you should rest up." Izuna said.

"Who are these people?" she asked.

"I am Izuna, your Highness." Izuna bowed in a very comical way which made her giggle a bit.

"And I am Doctor Paradigm. It is my pleasure to meet you." The dragon-gear spoke.

Again, Dizzy collapsed on her knees as she is becoming weaker at the moment. Ky was quite alarmed; what if the sublimation is taking effect on her again? He just can't afford to lose her this time.

"Doctor, are you sure it's fine?" Ky had very troubled eyes as he looked at the doctor.

"You're panicking too much, boy. Didn't he tell you that everything's fine?" he passed a look at the King and then to Sin. "Same goes for you too. Geez, even panicking runs in the blood." He said sarcastically.

"Well, I guess that concludes everything." Izuna said while smiling. "Everyone should just rest. I mean look at everybody!" he said, noting how weary Sol and Doc were, so were Ky and Sin.

"I guess you're right." Ky said as he picked Dizzy up into his arms. As he did so, she wrapped her arms around his neck. The touch of her skin made him shiver; the contact that he's been waiting for so long. But before he went out of the room, he declared his thanks to everybody. As he walked away, Izuna opened his mouth to speak but stopped as he saw Sin trail behind his parents. As they disappeared, he went on,

"It must be nice to be with someone you love, don't you think?" he turned to Sol, who was quiet for a while, as if cold water was poured on him when Izuna finished his sentence. Uneasy with the silence, he perked up again. "We should get going too." then paced out of the big room, followed by Doctor Paradigm. Sol stood there for a moment then grumbled a few words beyond audible, then tagged along with the Bird and the Freak.

Ky put her down on the bed and made sure that she was comfortable with it. Sin sat beside her, still with his worried look. Dizzy put a hand on his cheek as an assurance that she was fine and in reply, Sin held his mother's hand on his cheek, as if he didn't want to let go.

Ky stood beside the bed, watching the scene between the most important people to him. Then Dizzy called to him which broke him from his reflection. "Ky? Is there something wrong?" Now she was the one who was concerned.

"I'm fine, just-" then a thundering voice was heard outside the room. Two guards called for Ky which made him remember that he still had precious tasks to do. "I'm sorry that I won't be able to stay with you." disappointment can be well seen in his face, "I must get going." He leaned closer to give her a kiss on the forehead. Dizzy blushed, like she had never been kissed by her husband for quite a long time. Then he paced across the room and left.

Sin trailed Ky with a very vicious look then went back to his mother. Dizzy saw that he was quite hesitant, like he wanted to say something but he better did not. She smiled at him and spoke so gently, "Why that face, Sin?"

"…" he turned the other direction and thought of something to say, or else he will tire her more with worrying. "Um, Mom, why do you… love him?" he said, unsure of what he was talking about. Dizzy hugged him because she noticed his syndrome again—lack of attention from his father makes him act antagonistic towards the said man.

"It's because," she paused as Sin returned her hug; the young man missed the embraces of the person he loves most. "I love him. Isn't that enough?" she pulled back to look at her son's confused appearance.

"I don't understand."

"You don't have to understand it right away." She smiled.

After a few hours, Ky returned and saw Dizzy reading a book. She parted from the book and smiled at him. He also noticed that Sin was curled up beside her, letting out small snores. "Were you able to rest?" he asked and the woman nodded.

"I just got up…" she said as she put a hand through Sin's mane and combed through it. "Had I really been away for too long?" she returned her eyes on Ky who sat down on the bed. He gazed at her red eyes with his blue ones, the act pierced through her heart as it began to race. They leaned closer for a kiss, a deep and passionate kiss. Well, we can't blame Ky; he missed her so much and putting the events that happened into consideration as well.

As they parted, Dizzy's cheeks were rosy as Ky put a hand on her neck and he let his thumb catch a lock of her hair. Knowing what he wanted, she embraced him and he held her tight in return. He buried his face into the crevice between her neck and shoulder and nuzzled her throat with his nose. Dizzy, quite surprised, blushed heatedly then heard him speak. His voice was hoarse, with sob like sounds.

"I'm sorry." He spoke as his grip on her grew tighter yet it did not lose the gentleness it had. "I couldn't even protect you…"

Dizzy caressed him and put a hand through his hair, stroking the soft blond strands on the back of his head. "Shush, a grown man should not cry." She said as tears also brimmed in her eyes. She may not know what actually happened while she was asleep in the time stasis, but the actions of the people around her made her feel how long they have been parted from her.

They parted; Dizzy gave a pout as Ky looked at her again. "I think another kiss will make you a lot better, King." She said mischievously. He smiled and leaned to claim her lips with his, this time, their kiss was longer and burned with a stronger passion, a passion more heated than Fuuenken's flames.

"Please take good care of Sin." Dizzy said as she hugged Sol who turned his face to the right as she backed away, he was blushing! "Be a good boy, okay?"

"Mom, I'm not a kid anymore." He crossed his arms then shifted to the King. "Hey you," Ky turned to him as he was speaking with Sol and pointed a finger at himself. "Yeah you. Take care of Mom or else…" then he got a soft slap on his arm in retribution from his mother. "Mom!"

Dizzy glared at him which scared him, "What did I tell you about talking to your father?" Dizzy's brow was twitching, putting in mind what kind of disciplining Sol and Ky had given him. Sin hurried to Sol's side, not wanting a painful scolding from Dizzy.

"Come on, Old Man, let's go!" he said, going ahead of Sol. "I want to complete my training and we haven't got all day."

"Shut up, you twerp. It's not only today that you have, you still have tomorrow, the next day! So don't goad me to beat you up as your lesson." Sol snapped at him.

"Hey, Sin!" Ky shouted which prompted the young boy to turn around. "Make sure you'll beat up your old man after your training!" at this, Dizzy wondered who was Ky pertaining to, himself or Sol? But she smiled anyway as she waved her hand goodbye to her son.

As Sin and Sol walked away from the capital, the young boy's pace was quick. As he had his lips curled into a smile.

"Ain't you a little energetic today?" Sol mocked but the boy let it pass. Sol just sighed; another hellish journey with the stupid son of the messed-up King.

Well, with that concluding everything, there was peace somehow, even though it's ephemeral.

"Do you think this peace I was able to create with everyone is going to last a bit longer?" Ky said as he walked back to the castle. Then he stopped and Dizzy mimicked his moves. As he turned, he offered his hand with a strangely serene smile on his face, but she knew well how troubled he was.

"Surely it will. But however long it is, it will always feel short." She said as she planted her hand onto his, their fingers entwined.

"You're right. We'll never know." The feeling in his chest was unmistaken; it was happiness but there is still something bothering him. It was love and it was true, but at the same time it was forbidden…

With Sin and the others away, the two of them had plenty of time for each other, and hopefully Ky's duties won't prevent him from showing how important Dizzy is to him. They have plenty of time in their hands, plenty, plenty, plenty… and no distractions, like an attention-deprived kid.

The real thing will start next chap, so please keep your patience, the next child will be born! If Justice is really Dizzy's mother, she'll be rolling in her grave... Anyways, please leave me a review so that I will know if this story is worth continuing.
