Disclaimer: I. Own. Nothing. Seriously, I don't.
Notes: Neuro's possible thought process from the last two chapters. Sorry if it's a bit OOC.
I try not to do that.
It does however go with my other random drabbles. I mean Capturer of Hearts, Neuro's Goal and It Would Be Better.
It's supposed to anyway.
Quickly Return
I'm going to die.
Imagine, the Great Lord Neuro dying by something so trivial.
It's almost pathetic.
Almost.
...
How useful.
An old punching bag came to open a gateway back for me.
I can go home.
.
How nostalgic.
Remembering a life like that.
Where everything was up to fate.
Humans are so different.
They have so much potential.
They try to become stronger, while my kind just relies on the strength we are born with.
Home, you can't ever change.
I feel I've become stronger here.
.
How ironic.
As my body slowly dies, my mind slowly gets stronger.
.
Still I need to go home.
.
But could I come back?
I don't mean to earth.
Of course I can come back to earth.
I mean here.
This time, this place.
It doesn't matter if I come back if it's not here.
.
What about the humans?
So fragile, yet so brilliantly amazing.
What about Yako?
.
I remember when I had to go without Yako.
It wasn't too long ago.
Life…had no taste.
It was like the bland, boring mysteries I had been forced to eat before coming here.
Before realizing there were different flavors.
.
I couldn't go back to that.
What if they…she died?
I've seen so many humans break so very easily.
They're so stupidly fragile.
So stupidly short lived.
.
As always, Yako manages to surprise me.
She knows I'm hesitating.
She tells me to go.
.
I realize she's worried about me.
She doesn't want me to die.
She says I belong here.
But that I just need to take a short trip home.
Recoup.
Come back.
She assures me there will still be mysteries.
That she'll wait for me to return.
That everyone will be fine.
She'll be fine.
.
Of course she'll be fine.
Humans, while shockingly fragile, are also so shockingly strong.
What a contradiction their existence is.
What a mystery.
.
We talked.
A lot.
And I tortured Yako.
A lot.
I waited until Yako was knocked slightly unconscious.
I didn't want a foolish goodbye scene.
I stopped to look at her for a second.
She better shine so brightly, I don't even have to look for her.
If she doesn't, I'll never let her so much as an inch of leash again.
.
She stirred slightly.
It was time to leave.
I went down the stairs and stepped into the path Zera had made.
I paused of a millisecond in silent farewell.
And then I left.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I rip my way back again, there and back in less than a minute.
I follow the light.
It's faint, but shining like a beacon.
I almost gasp as the poison like oxygen hits me.
Earth. But the right earth?
.
I look at a nearby newspaper stand.
Splashed on the front cover is one piggish girl detective.
The inside article says she's heading to England today.
.
I'm back.
Right time, right place.
.
And as a fly towards the direction I knew Yako was in, I had an idea of what the ultimate mystery may be.
And if I'm right, it's on the tip of my tongue.
More Notes: Please let me know if anything is OOC, I research all my stories pretty well, so I hope it's not too bad.
Hope you enjoyed it ^-^
