Finally, Widower 2 is up. God, how long had it been since you all read the first chapter huh? And 9 reviews for the first chapter? Thank you all so much.
This chapter is dedicated to Charlow, I hope you feel better.
Disclaimer:
CL: I don't own Megaman.
Lan: She doesn't even own any MM books, toys, or DVDS too.
CL: That isn't true, I own a DVD and I have loads of tapes, now go away, I killed you off. This chapter is for Chaud.
Chaud: You heard her. Drags Lan back to the grave
Raika: On with the fic.
CL: I don't take orders from you.
Raika: Do it. Throws CL a glare
CL: You heard the man, let's move, move, move. CL says nervously.
Lan: Wait, don't you still have to thank someone?
CL: Oh yeah, I'd like to thank my good pal Ohohen for reading a part of this fic and giving me feedback for it.
Living the rich life doesn't always make for a good picture. This is the story of Yai Ayano and Chaud Blaze, a love filled with wealth, happiness, and grief.
"Bitter sweet memories aren't fleeting. They stay in your mind, leaving for just a moment so you can remember a time where you didn't have to put up a facade every day. If not for these precious seconds, I believe that we'd be driven to insanity.
Ever since we buried you, those sweeter memories never surface. A friend of mine once told me I'm repressing them, because most of those memories involve you.
Your death changed me, I'm not the same peson you feel in love with. Sometimes, I look in the mirror and can't recognize myself. I wonder if you'd still love me like this. Maybe, but I'm not sure. I don't even have Protoman to ask because he was deleted on the netsavior mission. You saved so many, and gave up your own life.
Sometimes, I wonder why I do this to myself. I guess it was because I was safe with you, and now I'm in a world where I can truly experience pain.
My life has become an old story. A visit to the grave on the third Sunday of the month.
I'm Yai Blaze, widowed at 29, married for 6 years, and I lost my husband 3 years ago. I'm now 32 with two children, named Shiori and Myra. They are five years old twins with blue eyes and blonde hair.. I usually stare at your grave helplessly, before sobbing."
Today was different. Yai didn't sit down in front of the grave, she stood. Instead of a black dress, a pair of black jeans and a blue sweater was worn. She still stared helplessly at the grave, but she wasn't crying- yet. She wasn't smiling, but the mask she famously wore had been left at home. Her forehead, which had shrunk down to the normal size for a young woman like her, wasn't giving off a glare. The sun wasn't shining, in fact, it was raining. The clouds were in mourning too.
The rain prevented a clear view of the grave, but the words had been memorized in her head. Yai remembered how Maylu, a few of Chaud's friends like Raoul, other friendly rivals, and herself had come up with the gravestone. She came up with the air of arrogance part. Her father in law had passed away before the two were engaged, leaving Chaud the house and the company.
Chaud Blaze
A man that carried himself with compassion, an unrivaled strength, and an air of arrogance.
A son that never left anything unfinished, an ace battler that never gave up, a loving father and husband who wouldn't hesitate to die for his loved ones
A legend that can never be tainted
He shall be missed until the end of time
"Do you remember how you asked me to marry you?" Yai asked the grave in front of her. Even though it didn't respond, she continued. "I hadn't expected it. I had been hinting around it for a while, but I figured you'd been spending too much time with Lan and part of his denseness had rubbed off on you. Boy I was surprised, more at how you proposed then the fact that you actually did.
Flashback-10 years ago-
"I hate my life." Yai Ayano said unhappily to her boyfriend, Chaud Blaze, as she walked into the living room. Yai was staying at Chaud's for the week while her house was getting an addition added to it.
"Why's that?" Chaud asked, barely containing an amused grin. Sure, Yai may have been over dramatic sometimes, but he still loved her.
"Let's start at the beginning of the day. First, my car breaks down and I'm late for work. Secondly, I signed the wrong paper work and threw out what I should have signed. Finally, and this is the best one, I get a massive headache because some moron left his car parked in the middle of the street, and it took two hours to get everything cleared out. And thatwas just the beginning of the loud noises caused by cars today, because trafic was so freaking jammedand loud, thatI almost killed somebody. I ran out of asprin so I couldn't relieve my headache. It's stange, I just got a new bottle yesterday, but all of my pills were gone."
"There's some in the bathroom connected to the master bedroom, why don't you go grab some?" Chaud suggested.
"There is? I'll be back in a minute," Yai told Chaud heading upstairs.
While Yai went upstairs, Chaud sent a prayer to god, hoping he didn't screw up, and that Yai actually found the thing. It was amazing that Chaud, the great netbattler who opperated Protoman, was nervous about something.
"Chaud sir, shall I leave for the time being?" Protoman asked from the PET on the end table next to the chair Chaud was sitting in while reading the paper.
"No Protoman, I need someone here in case I faint if Yai doesn't notice it," Chaud responded.
Protoman was somewhat amused at his Netops fear. It wasn't like Chaud to act this way, althought, he could understand why. It wasn't everyday you asked someone to marry you.
"Oka-
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Either she found the ring, or else she slipped on the tile in the bathroom." Chaud told himself getting up and hurrying up the stairs.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yai screamed at Chaud. She then proceded to hug him, knocking the wind out of him.
"Yes to what?" Chaud asked, sounding confused.
"Wha? What do you mean what? I'll marry you. I just said yes." Yai sounded perplexed.
"Marriage? What gave you the idea that I wanted to marry you?" Chaud sounded confused again.
"Okay, I feel like a moron, and I'll be leaving now." Yai said nervously, getting off of Chaud and heading to the bedroom she was staying in. Before she could however, Chaud grabbed her arm and brought her downstairs, out the door, and pointed to the sky. Fireworks could been seen.
The fireworks read,
Just kidding.
"I really hate you." Yai told Chaud, who was getting on one knee.
"I'm not really good at this, so I'm just going to ask you without straight out. Will you marry me?" Chaud asked her, bringing out a box with a better ring than the one Yai had found in the asprin bottle.
The ring was a princess cut shimmering with diamonds.
With Yai's firm kiss to the lips, that's all Chaud needed for an answer.
It was then decided by Chaud to never to tell Yai he was the one who had the car put in the street.
End Flashback-man that was a long one, huh?
"I still really hate you," Yai said. "You left me and our kids alone, even after you promised not too. You promised that you'd be there, unlike you father, and you said you wouldn't die because you didn't want them to mourn for you until they were ready. You didn't want to be like your mother, who left you." Yai told the grave angrily.
"I've learned over the years that I can't bring you back, no matter how much I want too. I like to think your spirit is with us, but it's just wishful thinking.
The tears then came.
Another fic done. Another idiot brainchild to read reviews for. Personally, I really liked it and it was fun writing it. I still can't picture Chaud engaging, but, what can you do? I'm a little iffy about the end too.Also, I guess Yai is OCish, but she grew up. For those of you wondering where's Glyde, he is still around, Yai just wants to grieve privately. I also wanted to put a Chaud thing in there, but I have an idea for an upcoming chapter that would be ruined if I put him at the end like I did for Lan.
After looking at my last chapter, I can't help but ask myself, what was I thinking? It's so horrible. I really, really, want to redue it. Maybe it's I sign of my improvement?
I've heard rumors about Stream being dubbed and websites already have summaries with American changes, but the show may not be aired. That being said, I'll probably redue the last chapter while twiddling my thumbs until Stream so I can write Pride/Raika together.
Coming eventually from ClampLover Studios. CL still can't cure the EVILwriter's block.
1. Sayonara Bye Bye- A Pokemon fic based on the LeafGreen/Fire Red games. I'd like to have it out by sometime this year. There's a damn good chance it won't be out in March.
2. I've started making two Megaman fics. I hope to have one up by March as well. Since, I may not, I'll tell you what the pairings are. One fic has Lan/Maylu, Yai/Chaud, Pride/Raika and Roll/Megaman while the other had a onesided Chaud/Maylu with Maylu/Lan hints.
3.Another fic I want to make is a fic for Lan's and Megaman's thoughts for each chapter inDYLM?DILY? I'd like to thank Angelz9 for giving me the idea. The first chapter of it will be dedicated to her. I haven't started this yet, but once things cool down here I will.
4. I've looked at the previous chapter and whenever I do, I feel embarresed. I'm reduing it.
5. Future chapters of Do You Love Me? Do I Love You? There's this cute, fluffy idea that just won't go away.
Well, Bye for now,
Clamp Lover
