Re:Zero does not belong to me.

Subaru could finally do it. He could rescue his friends and his beloved Emilia. After confessing to Emilia, stating his love he had for her, the two rode in the carriage with the village children. Subaru made them laugh as they arrived at the village. Emilia did nothing but smile as she watched him play with the children.

" I can't believe that Subaru told me that he loves me. Nobody's ever told me that before. I think this is the first time someone's given me special treatment for who I am ... and not for what I am." Thought Emilia

Emilia's eyes softened at the sight of Subaru playfully pinching one of the children's nose.

"Subaru is mine now and I will not let anyone take him from me" thought Emilia

When they arrived at the village, all the children ran to where their parents were and hugged them. While doing so, they each turned and said their own goodbyes to Subaru.

Subaru and Emilia didn't talk much during the rest of the trip to the mansion. Their eyes refused to meet each other out of embarrassment of what had transpired before. Instead, they decided to stay silent.

Upon arriving at the mansion, the two were greeted by Ram and led inside. Once the doors closed behind them, Ram talked and gave a courteous bow to Emilia.

"I am glad that you are well Emilia-sama" said Rem Bowing to Emilia

"Thank you, Ram. I'm a little tired after everything that happened, so I think I'll take a bath and go rest." Said Emilia

"Yes, Emilia-sama. I had imagined that you would be in that sort of mood so I already prepared hot water for you" said Ram

"Thank you very much Ram." Emilia Turned to Subaru

"I think I'll see you tomorrow Subaru. We can talk if you want"

Subaru Smiled "That would be fine with me"

Emilia returned the smile before going into down a hall and walking to her room. Subaru watched her leave until she turned a corner and was out of sight. He looked back at Ram and realized that she had been watching him with a mocking smile on her face. This confused him as his smile fell.

"What's so funny Ram?" asked Subaru

Ram Scoffed "Nothing in particular, only that you look as if the carriage practically dragged you all the way here"

Subaru looked down at himself and saw that all his clothes were dirty and torn in some places.

"Do not worry. I imagined that you put yourself in danger, for Emila again. It's to no surprise that you turned up looking like a disaster." Said Rem

Subaru Smiled "You have a very good imagination, Ram."

"Of course I do." She said Putting on a face of pride and suddenly became serious

"By the way, Balse. Do you know when Rem will return? I'm worried about her."

"From what Felix said, she should arrive tomorrow afternoon. She won't be fully recovered so it would be best to rest before she arrives." Said Subaru

"I agree, thank you for taking care of her, Balse." Said Ram with a bow

Subaru Smiled "There is no need to do that, Ram. Rem is very important to me too. So it should be no surprise that I would do anything to make sure she isn't hurt."

Ram looks at the blush that he put on and wondered if something happened between him and her sister while they were in the capital.

"Mhmm. You're making it sound like she's very, very important to you." said Ram with a mocking face

Subaru spoke nervously.

Subaru Scratched the back of his head "I-It's not what you think. It's just that she helped me a lot while we were in the capital" Subaru Blushed and looks down)

"So we got closer as friends, you know."

Ram Raised an eyebrow "Mmhh, I see. Well, I must leave you here, Balse. I have some tasks to finish I'll see you tomorrow during work."

Subaru Raised his head and smiled "Of course, I'll see you early tomorrow morning then.

Ram gives Subaru a small smile and starts to leave down a hall. Subaru followed her and ended up going in a different direction as her. Down the hall, Subaru entered the bathroom and enjoyed taking a hot bath. With everything that had happened between the battle with the White Whale and the Witch Cult, he did have time to wash himself.

When Subaru finished, he went to his room and laid onto his bed, thinking about everything he had achieved and wondered if he really did it for Emilia and not for Rem. Who knows where he would be now or how many people would be dead if Rem had not helped him. He owed her much more than he thought, for all that she had done for him. She gave him so much support, so much commitment…..so much love.

At that moment, Subaru began to think how anyone could have rejected such a person. A woman who was beautiful, kind, strong, capable of any household task, and who had a good figure with an incredible smile was practically the perfect girl for any man. And he had rejected her without thinking twice. However, she still loved him. Subaru started feeling stupid for rejecting her so quickly. He moved that thought of Rem out of his mind since he had already confessed to Emilia. He couldn't go back again. His checkpoint was after Rem had left.

He sighed and started to think again, but this time he started to think about his parents, whom he would not be able to see again. He suddenly remember that he had a photo of them in his wallet. He went to look for it because it was the last thing left of his world besides his casual clothes.

Subaru started to look for the photo in his wallet and when he found it, he smiled. IIt showed Subaru and his parents in their backyard while his dad barbecued in a bright Saturday sun. Subaru's eyes began to water as he remembered how great that day was. However, when he held the photo in his hand he felt something behind it, a slip of paper that was folded. Wth curiosity, Subaru unfolded it and was surprised to see what is was.

It was a letter of fortune that he received in a temple when him and his parents celebrated the new year. But that meant that he had that letter for almost a year already and for some reason he kept it despite thinking how ridiculous it was at the time. The letter said:

In this year you will receive pain unlike any you have ever felt, but as your wounds heal, blue and white will fight for your love. The only way to stop it is to accept; blue or white. The blue demon or the white witch.

Subaru began to laugh after reading it again, still unsure of why he had kept it. Then it hit him.

"Seriously who thinks of writing these letters of fortune. A supposed blue ...demon…"

He stopped breathing and his eyes bulged as he read the letter again.

" ...and a white witch..."

Subaru began to sweat. The letter of the fortune that he had thought that was stupid and amusing before never made sense to him….until now.

Subaru stated Breathing heavily "This has to be a joke. The blue demon and a white witch, I thought they were a joke for someone who behaved like a demon and dressed in blue and someone well religious who dressed in white or something like that"

"Rem and Emilia are going to fight for me? That can't be because of me. I already told Rem that I love Emilia. She has no reason to fight her" But at that moment Subaru made a serious face and smiled "But I cannot deny the fact that I have strong feelings for Rem."

Subaru put the letter on his desk and laid down wondering if the fortune in the letter was really going to come true. Would they really fight for him? If they did, he had to stop it before something went wrong or worse.

Subaru thought more of what the letter said, he was supposedly going to have to make a decision on which of the two he was going to give his love to. Subaru could only pray that he did not have to be in that situation.

Emilia woke up very refreshed and thought of how she was going to spend the day talking to the person who told her that he loved her. Subaru.

She got up very happy and changed. After, she left to the dining room since it was time to have breakfast. Upon arrival, she found Subaru in his butler's uniform. He was organizing the table for one person. Emilia grabbed that moment and approached Subaru from behind to surprise him.

Subaru was arranging the table for Emilia since only she was going to be the only one to eat the table because Beatrice said she was going to the library. But Subaru was concentrating on something more important, he was thinking about the prediction of the letter. He wondered what he could do about it because it wasn't a problem that he could resolve by dying and fixing it when it started. He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice Emilia had entered the dining room and was slowly approaching him little by little.

Emilia got close enough to whisper into Subaru's ear and scare him.

Emilia Whispered "Good morning, Subaru."

"WWAAUU! " Subaru leaped back, grabbing his ear "E-Emilia, good morning!" he said while Blushing

Emilia Smiled Hahahaha. I surprised you?"

Subaru sighed and removed his hand from his ear, still blushing.

" Y-Yes, a lot."

"Sorry, I just wanted to know what you'd do if I scared you"

"Well, now you know"

Subaru Started walking to the kitchen "I'll go get your food right away. Wait for me here"

"S-Subaru? Would you like to eat with me? I don't want to have to eat alone." Emilia Looked down

Subaru Smiled "No problem, but is it okay if Ram eats with us? So she doesn't have to eat alone either."

Emilia Nervously looked at Subaru "No, no problem. With more people, there will be more to talk about."

"Okay then, I'll be right back with your food and with Ram" he said before Leaving

Emilia looked head, a little disheartened "Subaru, you're such a party pooper…"

Subaru and Ram enter and arrange the table for fit two more people. They put the food on the table and sit down. The three remain in silence. Ram realized that Subaru and Emilia were a little nervous, almost as if they were embarrassed to be close to one another. Ram thought it might have been because of the fight the two had only a few days ago. But she didn't know that Subaru had confessed his love to Emilia the day before. At that moment, Ram became curious as to what Subaru and Rem had done while they were in the capital.

"So then Balse, how were you and Rem at Crusch-sama's while Emilia was here?" asked Ram

Emilia lifted her head, realizing something that she didn't much thought into before; Subaru had been alone with Rem for quite some time at Crusch's.

"Eh, well where do I started? When Emilia left, I started to train on my swordsmanship with Wilhelm-san. Rem cooked all my meals so they were delicious, as per usual. I mean, she can really cook" said Subaru

At that moment, Ram noticed that Emilia's face showed a little anger.

"Is Rem not going to be interested in Subaru too? I also remember that before I left she offered to stay with Subaru and was very determined to do so. No, I'm just was just worried since they're so close. They are just friends. Yes, yes, that's it. Just friends." Thought Emilia

Subaru continued to talk about what had happened. Reinard went to visit him in the house of Crusch-san, during their training he had fainted and when he woke up, Rem was caring for him. He and Rem went out that day to buy various items from merchants. That same day, he realized he wanted to get away from everything and start over. But Rem had brought him back to his senses and agreed to help him any way she could. That was when the battle with the White Whale happened. Rem fought next to Subaru and did as she was told, leading to the whale's defeat. But that after the fight she used a lot of magic, so she had to go and rest in the capital. With the battle over and the Witch Cult dealt with, all they had to wait for was Rem to come back.

When Subaru finished telling them everything that had happened, Ram had a surprised look. Not because of everything that happened, but because of how Subaru spoke of Rem with such affection and passion. It was obvious to her that Subaru felt something for Rem even though he himself did not fully know it. On the other hand, Emilia also realized that the way Subaru spoke of Rem was a bit too friendly. She put forth a calm composure and a serious face, but inside she was angry. Angry that Subaru spoke of another woman, that wasn't her, with so much appreciation.

"Well, that was a wonderful story, Subaru, and I hope to hear more about it soon, but I have a few thing to do that need my attention." Emilia Got out of her seat " now If you'll excuse me." Leaves the room without looking at anyone

As she walked away, Emilia felt angry and sad at the same time.

"What I do? What I do? If things go on like this, Subaru will decide that he loves Rem more than me."

Emilia went into her room and started thinking, what can she do to win the love of Subaru?

While in the dining room, Ram was thinking that it is almost time for Rem to arrive and wanted to be there when she did. A thought came to her head on what would happen if Rem saw Subaru first instead of her. It was something she was curious of.

"Balse." Ram Smiled as she looks at Subaru "Why don't you get ready and put on something more presentable before Rem arrives? I bet she will want to see you in good health and well dressed."

Subaru thought about what Ram said" You know, you're right. If I were in her situation, I would like to see me in good health too." He said smiling

"Agreed, then you go and get ready and I'm cleaning up the table. Don't worry about anything." Ram Smiled because Subaru will accepted the proposal

"Are you sure?" asked Subaru

"Yes, I'm fine. Now go away."

"Oh, okay thanks, Ram." He said Running out of the dining room

"I really don't know what Rem sees in Balse. He's so…...normal. And yet, he can also be a weirdo." Ram was Smiling while she thinks "Subaru may look normal, but at least he's brave, honest, and good."

Subaru entered his room, happy that he'll finally get to see Rem again since he was worried about her. He looked at himself in the mirror then cleaned and arranged the butler's uniform as it was the best thing he had available to him. He brushed his hair to look more decent and took one last look in the mirror before he heard a carriage approach the mansion. Subaru didn't think he'd ever ran faster in his life. A smile widened on his face the closer he got the the front doors.

Somewhere else in the mansion, Ram also heard the carriage and hurried to the front door to find an almost out of breath Subaru trying to fix his hair again.

"Seriously, you're useless when it comes to just looking like a decent citizen of society." Ram Pointed to a the ground next to her "Come here."

Subaru sighed as he walks to Ram who then grabbed his head and started fixing his hair.

"Thanks, Ram."

Ram arranged his hair and the collar of his uniform. While it wasn't perfect by the end, it was better than nothing

" Now go and say hi to Rem, I will be behind you." said Ram Smiling

"Okay. Oh Ram, don't forget that she may still be weak. Better let her rest today and tomorrow." Said Subaru

Ram smiles to let him know that she agrees with him.

Subaru stood in front of the mansion to wait for the carriage. With Ram behind him, they stay near the door as the carriage rolled up to them and came to a stop. Subaru smiles waiting to see the blue figure open the door, but what happened was not what he expected.

The carriage's door suddenly swung open abruptly and almost flew off the hinges. The blue demon herself came flying out the carriage making a beeline to Subaru.

"SUBARU-KUUNN!"

The cry of excitement was heard all over the mansion

Ram was left speechless at what she was seeing. Rem jumped from the carriage and leaped towards Subaru, causing him to go silent as he was tackled to the floor. He was so surprised when he fell that he closed his eyes suddenly and felt the hands of Rem behind his head. He thought Rem must have done it to catch his fall, but he suddenly felt a very pleasant sensation on his lips. The feeling was soft and it also felt hot. He opened his eyes and his mind did a backflip Rem was kissing him as she straddled him between her legs. Subaru couldn't believe what was happening, but at then did something that he also couldn't believe. It was as if his own body was waiting for this moment before his mind realized it. In that same moment, he was returning the kiss to Rem as his hands wrapped around her waist.

Everything happened so fast, but at the same time, so slow. For Subaru and Rem, they felt like a few seconds, but for Ram the kissing seemed to go one forever. As the two kissed to their hearts content, a white figure looked out a window of the mansion. Crystals of ice slowly started to form and cover the clear glass the longer the figure witnessed the kiss.
