Don't leave me alone
Hi there. There is my new fanfiction which is a prequel to Wish you were here. So I really like Black Knights and they deserve a good ending.
The main pairing is Georgius x Misao (Avaritia x Superbia). The story happened after the end of the anime. So hope you enjoy!
Over.
Everything...is over.
Around Misao Kusakabe, everything had gone. Everything disappeared. The Red Night, which had been her land for 64years-old…had disappeared. Around her, just some darkness and earlier, some Larvaes left which Misao defeated easily left. Misao herself didn't know where she was exactly. Maybe in another dimension. Maybe in another world…She didn't know.
Misao Kusakabe (aka Superbia) had waited for the day where the Red Night would disappear and she would leave. But it wouldn't have happened like the endings of fairy tales. Since she and her others comrades have been killed by Liselotte, she used some magic which revived them…under others forms…The Black Knights.
For all six of them, life ended. And now…since Fragments had defeated her comrades, their life definitely ended. Nevertheless, Misao felt like died too. Now her friends were gone, as long as her beloved Avaritia-sama…she didn't know if she must live or not. It was impossible. Once more, she was the only survivor.
And now, she was alone. Misuzu, Kakeru and Yuka had gone, and she didn't think she could accustom to modern life. She couldn't.
Alone…
She had been always afraid of being alone. Since she had been expulsed from Kusakabe Clan, she had this fear. And this fear had disappeared the day where she met Avaritia. Or rather Georgius, who became the man she loved. She also met some others people. Samson, Sebastianus, Elaine, Benedictus and Scholastica. And although she didn't really part of their team, she willingly helped them for their mission.
Ones after others, she looked theirs faces again. But their face had disappeared. And Avaritia…No, Georgius had gone too, and surely crossed another dimensions with Liselotte now.
She wondered if she could do anything about it.
She thought killing herself but she didn't want to do a fateful gesture before to not being sure. She took a seat on the floor, her weapons surrounding her.
Georgius spent his life to do some things very dangerous and imprison this witch. And now…for eternity he would cross the dimension to watch out for Liselotte.
And she couldn't.
She couldn't let him like that. It was undeniable. But she wondered again what to do about it. The only Fragment left was Shiori's one which had disappeared. After Kukuri recreated the world after having defeated by Liselotte, that Misao somehow knew, Shiori never really died. She probably came back to Index afterward, as she was an apostle like the Punishment Squad. Misao sighed, wondering what to do.
Georgius-sama.
Misao felt some tears rolling on her cheeks. It was curious, she didn't cry for…so long. Why did she do that? Why did she revive everyone? To not to be alone again? It was a selfish act. She must have let them die. Everyone has never been hurt. No…If she convinced Georgius to not go to this mission…Everyone would have been safe. Ira and Invidia would have lived happy without troubles… And Gula…from each and every one, he was the one who didn't deserve to die the most. Acedia siblings…Dying…So young…How she could? How she could do it?
She realized now that Fragments suffered too. It took a long moment, but she now realized that it must be difficult to live only to die. She could see it when she saw Misuzu fighting so hard. How she could try to kill a member of her own clan. Misao really blamed herself for everything.
And now…Everyone was gone. Georgius, Samson, Sebastianus, Elaine, Benedictus, Scholastica…Misuzu too. She realized that even Misuzu could have a better presence than these Larvaes next to her. No, she was alone.
And she deserved it.
"Misao…I count on you. Help me…to fight Liselotte…Help me…Help me to teleport on the rooftops…I will…catch Liselotte by myself…"
"Georgius-sama…"
"I'm not Georgius anymore. And you know that very well. He is already dead."
"Georgius…Please…Don't leave me…"
"I can bear it anymore. We must defeat that witch once for all. That's enough. I can now understand now…If the others died, it's all my fault…"
"…"
"…Please. This is the least thing I can do now."
"…"
"Please…"
"…I love you, Georgius."
Afterward, she teleported Avaritia who caught Liselotte into his arms while Kakeru used the Fragments to imprison them. And they disappeared.
Misao knelt down, crying. "Georgius! You promised me you'll never leave me alone! Why did you sacrifice yourself? Why did you…?"
"…No. Nobody's fault but mine…"
Misao sighed.
Brutally, she heard a sound from behind her. She didn't care of it immediately but when she heard the person coming from her and kneeling over her, Misao hoped for one instant that it was Georgius…But no. The person was completely different.
"…You…Misuzu…What are you doing here?"
"…Misao Kusakabe…What will you do now?"
"…Why do you care? We're enemies. Listen, I let you live. So…in return, let me in peace."
"…"
"I suppose…you would like to be with Kakeru."
Misao said it ironically. Misuzu sighed but seeing her face, Misao realized something.
"…Does he…Ah. Yuka."
Misuzu nodded. "So…now you're alone, you would like to stay here with me?" How sensitive…" Misao sighed.
"No…Misao…We used to be enemies…But now…I understand you. We are alone now. Nobody can help it."
Misuzu took a seat. "It's difficult."
"... You still have your friends. Unlike me. So…why won't you join them?"
"…I should do something."
"Great." Misao looked away. "I…will. I will come back to Kusakabe Clan. I must give back the swords."
"…Haven't you been exiled?"
"Yes…But I shouldn't keep them for myself." Misuzu smiled a bit. "You could go with me."
Misao jumped. "Are you joking? I'm like you. They even won't let you enter. So…they won't let you enter too. Give it up."
"Misao…What do you want to do?"
"…Going far away…or killing myself."
"…" Misuzu sighed. "Misao…nothing keeps us back here. The witch is gone…We couldn't be enemies anymore."
"…"
"I always admired you. I always wanted to talk to you."
"…Maybe."
Misao sighed.
"But…My Avaritia is gone. I know how you feel, when you see your beloved going away from you."
"…Yes." Misuzu sighed. "I know."
"…"
"But I'm decided. I will go."
"…So, good luck." Misao turned back. She picked up her weapons and was about to go. Misuzu called her. "If you change your mind…you can go to my house. We could do the trip together."
"…Yes."
But Misao said no more. She already left.
