Hi everyone. I hope you love this fic like you love my other one. This is the first time I ever had two longer than one-shot fics and I hope that writing for two fics doesn't slow me down. Remember to review.
normal type-normal conversation
slanted type-Maylu's thoughts
I don't own Megaman. Capcom does.
------------------
A young woman visits a grave to assure a lost love that while his widower might have moved on, she didn't.
''Morning Sal. Two dozen white roses please.'' A red headed girl told her friend.
''Morning Maylu. I'll get them right away.''
Sal returned, roses in hand.
''How much Sal?'' Maylu asked .
''On the house. And Maylu,'' Sal looked sad while saying this,'' tell Lan I miss him too.''
''You got it, Sal. Goodbye.''
-----------------------------------------------------------
Five yeas ago
''I wasn't the one he truly loved.'' A woman told another while over a gravestone.
''Excuse me?'' Maylu asked getting up to face the other woman.
''Lan loved me. He loved me and was always faithful, but I think he thought about how his life would be like if he had you for a wife.''
''He didn't love me.'' Maylu said a she walked away.
''Are you really sure about that Maylu? Jasmine asked, making the red-head halt.
''Yes.''
''You're wrong. Lan has always cared about you. I am bold enough to say he loved you too.''
''I'm not wrong. If he loved me so much, why didn't he keep in contact with me, why did he forget about me, why did Lan marry you?''
''He gave up hope. Look, I was his wife. Don't you think you could accept what I am trying to tell you. It's hurting me more that it's hurting you. Lan loved you. He always had and he always will.''
''...Goodbye Jasmine. Tell everyone I said hi.
''Why don't you tell them yourself?''
''It's been five years since I stepped foot in this town. I learned about Lan's death through a casual acquaintance. It's the only reason I came. I didn't come back for a sappy reuinion.
Back to the present time
I was a foolish little girl then. Thinking that I would be able to leave. Maybe moving in with the widower of Chaud wasn't such a bad idea though. And I do enjoy talking to the widowed Princess of Creamland. Well here's my stop.
Lan Hikari
Beloved friend, son, husband, and Net-op. A great man who
didn't deserve to die. May you rest in peace Lan.
'Rest in peace? You were killed by a loose bullet. Hardly something you can rest in peace about,' I muttered while I sat down and placed all the roses except two on the grave.
''Hi Lan. How you been doing?'' 'Yeah Maylu. He's leading a wonderful life. His wife is about to get remarried, his childhood best friend is crushed over his death, and oh yeah-HE'S DEAD!
''A lot of things have changed. Jasmine is getting remarried to Dex, Megaman is in love with Roll and staying at my house instead of with Medi, and I'm becoming a successful lawyer. Your death helped my choose my job. I'll give you three guesses why.'' 'I know, I know. You became a lawyer so you could throw those bastards with guns in jail.'
''People have said that absence makes the heart grow fonder.What a bunch of crap I miss you the same amount as I did five years ago. I do miss you. I guess you might not think so, you know with me only visiting you once a year and all. but I do. And I still love you too.
Love.
It's funny. I love you and I've been told that you loved me. Even Jasmine told me that you were happiest when you were with me.
Yet we were both cowards. We didn't tell each other of our feelings. We were to afraid of rejection. Right now I would gladly be rejected by you over and over again if you just came back to us.
We were cowards and we paid the ultimate price. You were killed on a net-savior mission and so was my heart.
I blame myself for your death. If I had told you that I loved you, maybe I would have gone on that net-savior mission. Maybe I would be the one five feet under instead of you. Yes, I would much rather be dead instead of you. Then again, you would be sad and in my position. I don't want you to go through that pain.
You know what? I have thought of killing myself. But then I would see how dissapointed you were that I took my own life and I stopped. Maybe I would be dead if I thought of you being happy to see me. I saw you angry and that is what kept me on earth.
I love you. Why did you have to be such a dense asshole and get yourself killed. Why did you do that to me. Why did you die? Why Lan. Why did you leave my here to cry, too far away to have you comfort me. Why? It isn't fair.
Life isn't fair. I've learned that the hard way. I'm in pain every day. Are you in pain too?
I know you have Raika and Chaud up there watching you like hawks, but I can't help but worry. Strange. Your dead but I'm worried. MAybe you aren't even anything anymore. Maybe there is nothing after dying. Maybe your screaming in frustration that you will be alive forever and ever trapped in a horrible existants to see all that you love change.
Maybe. I'm starting to hate that word.
I know that this may be selfish, but I've always been jealous of any girl showing affection towards you. Jasmine, Princess Pride, anyone. I didn't show it that much, did I? Yes you did. You quit doing that after Jasmine told Lan she loved him. You gave up right there and then. Man, I figured I would be a better concious.
Anyway, I bet you want to find out how Roll and Megaman are doing. You dying spurred Roll to admit her feelings to Megaman. He happily retuned those feelings. They have their fairy tale ending. I lost mine and instead I am caught in a strange world, in a world that allows me to mourn every day.
They do still miss you. And they usually come to the grave sight.
I know that you were married and your wife should be the one here ready to ask you questions, but I always have liked breaking the dumb rules. And I know for a FACT that you loved doing that too.
I have a few questions that have been hauting me for a long, long time. Did you love me? Did you care about me at all, even a little? Did you wonder where I was when I wasn't with you? I guess waiting for an answer would be pretty stupid.'' I finished saying as I got up.'' Jasmine might have moved on, but I haven't. I do love you.''
''Raika, Chaud, your wives miss you too.'' I said while placing the two roses on the graves surrounding Lan's.
I turned ready to walk away. '' Goodbye Lan.'' And then I was gone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
''Maylu, I do love you.'' A white figure invisable to the human eye said sadly. ''And I will wait for you.''
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There I'm done. I might make more chapters for Pride and Yai, it still depends. And everyone please review. I wonder if any of my old reviewers will read this fic. Remember, I hate no flames. I know it sucks. I completed this in less that two hours.
Review please.
