One quick note before starting, I wrote this chapter in first person since it was easier -.-... the chapter is about Setsuna's experiences after she died. Enjoy
"Where am I?" I asked myself after opening my eyes, I was alone in an empty and dark room. It was so dark that I couldn't even see my own hands. Soon I remembered what happened not so long ago. I had killed my best friend, and because of that I was punished… my punishment: death. I just hope my princess is doing fine wherever she is and whoever is now her partner.
When I woke up, I was alone
In a room painted black
I couldn't see or hear anything
One person shivering in the darkness
Certainly I deserved this, but I still wanted to see my princess so I looked around in hopes to see an exit. Suddenly a faint but clear light came from the roof, I looked up and saw a hole in the roof "Is that an exit? Will I be able to reach it?" I asked in my mind and stood up, but then I heard a familiar voice.
The ceiling had a large hole
It was easy to see a big spring in it
Suddenly there was a sound
I knew this ghastly voice
The voice told me that I deserved this and won't ever come back again, my sin was too serious too even think about regretting it "That voice… it's him!" I thought when I realized whose voice was it, Negi Springfield, the fiancé of my old friend who I killed. He was right, I can't think on escaping now, what I did is unforgivable.
Suddenly another voice spoke, this one broke my heart "You won't be able to reach me" the voice said, my heart was pounding so fast that I couldn't breathe. That was my princess' voice, telling me that what I did was wrong and now I won't be able to see her again. Did I misunderstand her words back there? Did she really want Nodoka-chan out of that life? Or she just said it because she was jealous?
Of course! I'm such a fool! My princess would never wish for someone to die. I put her in danger, she almost died because I misunderstood! I curse myself for being an idiot! I don't deserve to be save and forgiven for what I did.
"Boy's crimes are getting old"
"You're far from me forever"
"It left from this room" it said
I spent day after day remembering my terrible sin, repeating it over and over again in my head. This torture will never end, but I deserved it. The awful mistake I did lead to the death of a precious person.
Sometimes, in my prison, a light came from the roof and I could see my arms… stained in red blood, the blood from my friend, the blood that was unfairly spilled because of me. And some other times I could feel a strong rain, those are probably the tears that Nodoka-chan's friends shed… and maybe also my princess'
Remembering all of that moment
Naturally repeating that sin over and over
Realizing the reason it all ended
Having to go back to those days
Both of my arms are in red handcuffs
Someone is surely spilling the colour of blood
Both of my ankles are in blue chains
They are surely the colour of someone's tears
"How much time had I spent here?" I asked myself, I wasn't sure about time. Maybe I've spent already years here, though I have no right to complain… "Eh? What's that?" I heard a soothing voice singing, it was a nice voice and very relaxing. The song calmed my heart, now it wasn't in pain anymore, now I'm not blaming myself… The song healed my heart.
"Ru ri ra ru ri ra.." the song said
Who seems to be singing this lullaby..
How much time seems to go by
Searching for the changing spring
Suddenly I hear
A singing voice to heal me
Every time I heard that song, my heart started feeling at ease. Each time the song was played I discovered that the lyrics changed from time to time, as if telling me something, someone was talking to me through that song. Her words, those were her words, calling me.
Suddenly the faint light from the roof became stronger and the song became louder, I stood up from the wet floor and saw my arms that were still in that shinning red blood. But now I don't care about those things, my mind was focused of the song you're singing.
One day I notice
That the song has a real meaning
And now it's my lullaby
New words are added to it
From the opening of the spring
A tiny northern light
Very surely
You're giving a message
I heard a male's voice talking to me, it was Negi Springfield's voice. He made me remembered about my sins but then… he said that it was enough now, they will give me another chance. My mind was filled with joy, my heart was beating fast of excitement… I'll have another chance, I'll be able to see her again!
The spring's surroundings start to talk quietly
"It's not that your sins aren't tolerated"
However, the water spoke and evil spoke
We will try to change those facts
A white light surrounded me, my hands stained in red blood were cleaned but it, and the water of the floor was also removed. Soon, the light covered the whole room and I was lifted and looked up, I could hear the song becoming louder as I approached to the hole in the roof "I'm coming to you, Kono-chan"
The red handcuffs fall off and I start to talk
"After this, you will be born again"
The blue shackles fall off and I talk to you
"Today is your new Birthday"
Everything around us is dyed white
Very soon we will meet again
"Secchan, wake up" a high but soft voice said, the owner of the voice was a beautiful girl of brown hair, she gently shook another girl who was sleeping by her side. The two friends were under the shadow of a big tree and were wearing the same uniform.
"Eh… Kono-chan?" the sleeping girl mumbled as she opened her eyes, her skin was paler than the first girl and her hair was black and tied in a ponytail to her left side.
"Hehe you called me by my name!" Konoka said happily and hugged her friend who started blushing
"G-Gomen Ojousama!" Setsuna said
"Mou, don't call me that…" Konoka said pouting and pulled away looking away "I want you to call me 'Kono-chan' again" she added with a small blush on her face
"B-but…" Setsuna started but then she saw Konoka's sad face and sighed "Kono-chan" Setsuna said and place her hand on Konoka's cheek making her turn and look at her.
"You said it!" Konoka replied with a smile, she then curled herself against her friend's body, Konoka could feel Setsuna's body stiffing by her touch "ne secchan… can we… can we stay like this forever?" Konoka asked her
"Kono-chan…" Setsuna was blushing and looking at Konoka, the swordswoman then smiled "If that what my princess wishes… then I'll make it become true" she whispered with a gentle voice in Konoka's ear.
"Thanks secchan," Konoka said and smiled "I love you" Konoka said and started to fall asleep
"I love you too, my princess" Setsuna replied and hugged her.
A/N: o-kay... was that a good ending? O.O... Un.n... I hope so... *ehem+ well, this is the end of this story...
Oh! by the way, I won't be able to write more stories (in english Un.n) for a while, I have to finish my stories in spanish (and I don't have good ideas to continue .)... also I have to study for university, so probably I'll come back with another story in July... -.-... So... one last message for setsuna15... no more ideas please!!! XD... If you give me another idea, I won't help myself and write it ... and that will distract me from study T_T...

Anyway, thanks for reading this story...
