Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Notes: Neuro's possible thought process during the time that Yako quit. Starting in chapter 183 in the manga and ending in chapter 187.

It'd Be Great if We'd Never Met Each Other

How interesting.

I never knew I could feel hurt.

Even when I am not injured.

.

She wishes she never met me?

How odd, to say such a thing when I'm not even torturing her.

.

Or perhaps I am?

In some way I can't understand?

And I went too far?

.

But no, I have done nothing out of the ordinary.

And Yako is the strongest human I have ever met.

Surely such a common thing as death could not affect her this much.

.

Or is this just another part of humans I don't understand?

Is there something I could have done, could do to change her?

Help her evolve?

.

I don't know.

And it's unsettling to think that.

Aya was no help.

What did I expect from a human?

.

It still hurts.

To think I'll need a new slave.

A new Yako.

No, not a new Yako.

There can't be two Yako's.

.

Huh?

Since when did I think that way?

.

It doesn't matter.

Even if Yako begs I won't forgive her for hurting me.

.

Because it does hurt.

That is the one thing I'm sure of.

.

Even if she were to bow in front of me and beg to be my slave again.

Even if she promised never to be so weak again.

I couldn't forgive her.

.

She won't dare come back.

Not with such cowardice as she has shown.

She'll do as I order and disappear.

.

How interesting.

It hurts, and I'm not even injured.

.

More Notes:

Normally, I would never even suggest Neuro could feel hurt by Yako's actions, and Neuro's face when Yako first said the title words made me think he didn't. Untill I saw the faces he made without Yako around.

He looked so bored.

And when Godai did something that wasn't even really against what Neuro had said to do, Neuro had a horrible look on his face, without a trace of his usual evil smile.

He also showed no pleasure in upsetting Godai.

And the look he had when he saw Yako, and the way he said what he did, was what I would imagine how someone who felt betrayed would look.

Thus, this little story was born.

Sorry for any OOCness. Please point any out to me. Hope you enjoyed it ^-^
