Hi! I'm back! I'm sorry for the short chapter the other day, but I'll try to make it up to you all. I barely had time to write this, seeing how school has started and all that, but I manage. So anyways, I'm gonna change the summary just a little bit, so that none of yall get confused, kay? Now then, the story!
Hibiki's P.O.V
I watch Dita, confused as she rounds the corner, leaving me alone with Misty. She usually begins arguing with Misty or making it a race of which food I liked the most; hers or Misty's.
"Hibiki! Don't stare after Dita! C' mon!" Misty says, pulling on my arm.
"Ah, eh, you know what? I think I'll go check on Duelo," I say, slowly backing away from Misty.
"Eh? Ah, wait! Come back!"
I turn down a corridor and bump straight into someone with their arms full of laundry.
I swear. "Oh, my head!"
Rubbing my head, I look past the laundry and, underneath a towel, I see a pair of pretty blue eyes.
"M-Mr. Alien?"
"D-Dita?!"
She pulls the towel off her head and looks at me curiously. "Why were you running?" she asks, her eyes sparkling.
All of a sudden, my heart starts beating faster than normal. "What the hell?!" I think.
Trying to mask my confusion, I shout at her, stuttering, "I-Its none of your freaking business! L-LEAVE ME ALONE, DAMMIT!" Immediately, I regret it.
Blue eyes filling up with tears, she hesitates before saying, "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you angry. I'm sorry."
With that, she turns around and flees down the corridor.
"Dammit," I think. "What have I done now?"
"HIBIKI!"
"Argh, WHAT!" I yell from within a gold and silver Vanguard, otherwise known as my partner.
"What on EARTH have you done to Dita?!"
"WHAT!" I nearly lost my balance walking down the steps to face a golden locked woman, also known as Jura.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I ask, confused.
"Go see for yourself," she says, gesturing to one of the dreads waay down the hallway. I slowly walk to a certain blue and green dread and find Dita sitting on the floor, delicate hands clutching a framed photograph as little drops of salt fall off her cheeks.
I hesitate before sitting down next to her and asking, "Are you okay?"
Dita, looking startled, quickly hides the photo and dries her eyes before looking at me. "I-I'm fine Mr. Alien," she mumbles, all the while biting her lower lip.
I stare at it, entranced until I hear Dita say, "Mr. Alien, c-can I ask you something?"
Yanking my eyes off her lips, I blush, and say, "sure, why not?"
"Well," she says, fidgeting. "I-its about-"
"DITA! HIBIKI!"
I swear and Dita shrieks before turning around to face Meia.
"What are you waiting for?" she asks, clearly annoyed. "We have to go, NOW!"
"Why, what's happened?" Dita asks, completely forgetting her photo as she runs to catch up with Meia.
Suddenly left alone, I quickly look around to see if anyone else is near before picking up the photo. I stare at it, amazed. Its the spitting image of Dita: same sapphire blue eyes, mahogany hair, bubbly smile and a completely innocent look on her face. The only difference was that she looked older and appeared to be carrying a little bundle...
"Damn! Its Dita's mom," I swear, unable to tear my eyes away. I suddenly feel something lumpy beneath the photo, so I quickly flip it over and gently peel it away.
Its a note, written in curly writing, that says:
Me and my precious baby girl, Dita
Dita, if you are reading this, then it means
that I've passed on to a better place, with
your Fama. Remember one important thing Dita:
never give up, and, like me and your Fama,
to fall in live with the right person and love them
with all your might. Duty calls. Its time for me to go.
But always remember: I'll always love you, little one,
my beautiful daughter.
Farewell,
Your loving mother
I stare at the note, my mind working furiously. Suddenly, the alarm blares.
"Ugh, what now!"
