This is fan fiction only.
I make this story because of there are so few of Furuya Rei fan fictions. My plot bunnies are sad and complain to me.
So this is the prologue. Take a ride!
PROLOGUE
Her Will
He is beaten.
He can't save her. The modern medicine field is not advanced enough.
He knows that she won't survive the childbirth. And she doesn't want to live if she has to abort the baby.
He can actually let other doctor takes over the childbirth. But he wants to spend every moment with her, even the heart wrenching one.
He rarely feels emotion. His friends and sister can testify that he is a cruel and sadistic bastard.
'So why he loves her? So gentle with her? Why he have to fall in love with a woman who has incurable disease? If God exists, he is not a kind one. Because he let the so called good people tortured by bad guys or disease and bad people dance merrily in this unfair world. Well. He is a bad guy. She is a good girl. Figures that they can't be together.'
He enters her room alone, he asked his medical team to wait outside.
"Dear. Will you hear my will?" She asks him, before she falls to slumber that one need in a operation. And eternal one on her case.
"You will tell me nonetheless, right?" He answers.
She grab his hand. "But I want you to hear and execute it."
He draws a deep breath. "If it still within my domain, I'll do it."
She speaks. "I know that you are smuggling the guns from US to Japan."
He blinks in surprise.
She continues, "I come from long lineage of police officers. You can't hide it from me. I don't try to stop you from it because your brain are too active to be immobile. And your dark persona is drawn me to you. I also know that you have started to pursue the cure for my disease. I'm sorry that this pregnancy ruins your timetable. But I want this baby. He is the fruit of my short time living with you. Please love the baby. Give him a choice, to be a pursuer of justice or a criminal. Set a stage for him."
His love never fails to shock him. "You want him to learn both ways? And he will be come either master of good guy or bad guy? Not a normal, tame job?"
She laughs. "It's on his blood. I can't imagine him having a tame job. Promise me?"
His lips curve a smile, but his eyes sad. "I promise."
She is not finished. "One more thing."
He says, "You are a daring one. Most of the people are afraid to ask a thing from me, yet you ask so many."
She smiles, "That's what make you drawn to me in the first place, right? Continue your research. Even if I'm gone, there are people like me. Who struggle to live. And I consider them as my comrade and I want to save them."
He nods. "I understand and respect your last wishes. I will do my best to make them come true. In return, can I ask something from you?"
She says, "What I can do for you?"
He mouths, "One last kiss."
She urges him to come closer. "Come over here, then."
He comes closer and their lips meet each other. It's a gentle kiss. He then separates himself from her.
She commands herself not to cry. "I'm sorry that I can't be with you longer."
He closes his eyes in pain. "It's my fault that I can't find the cure in time."
They look at in each other, in longing.
Then she asks him. "What's his name? Have you decide?"
He is silent for a while. "Rei. Written as zero. In order to be either positive of negative. Black or white."
She touches her womb lovingly. "Rei. It's a fitting name."
He lets his team to enter the room.
The operation will be a hard one, even with her giving her life to the child. But Rei will be born and survive. Because he can't let her love down, not on this.
In this chapter I said he instead of she, because they know the baby gender. You can't call baby it, right? I also don't want to call the baby as the baby. USG exists in this time, it's hard to guess what year cause time flow in DC sucks.
So, what do you think about this chapter? I have to research about the disease... Or can somebody give me ideas?
