Scene 31. Everlasting Promise
On that night, so long ago, he had said he would do anything for her.
"I'm sorry, I can't."
But this was just too much.
"You promised, remember?"
She frowned. He hated it when she did that.
"I love you, but I don't love you that way."
An image flashed through his mind, of a young girl rightfully angry at him. Now she stood before him, much older, looking just as angry.
"I know you don't love me like that. But, even if it's just for tonight, please treat me like a woman."
They both knew what she was asking, why he was hesitating. She was his little girl, she always would be.
"You're too young for this."
"Why should my age be a factor for someone like me?"
She was only ten, but looked closer to twenty. The curse of the silpelits aging made things strange like that.
"It's not right."
Once, she had been short and petite. Now, she was tall, curvy and voluptuous as any women could be.
"Just shut up and kiss me already dammit."
"But I-MMPH!"
He was cut off as she roughly kissed him. His final defenses crumbled. He was uncomfortable with this, but not so much that he would break his promise towards her; To spend the rest of his life making up for all the horrible things he'd done.
On that night, so many years later, Nousou did everything and more for Barbara.
Scene 32. Sometimes Helping Hurts More
It had all gone wrong. Okay, maybe her plan hadn't gone so bad yet. But if Nana was being perfectly honest with herself, Mayu's reaction to what she'd done had not been a pleasant one.
"Dammit Nana! You just had to go behind my back and pull this stupid stunt!"
Nana couldn't help but flinch back ever so slightly.
"I thought we all deserved to know. I'm your sister Mayu. I can help you."
"I never wanted any help! I just wanted to forget! But you didn't let me have even that!"
Each word sent a new wave of guilt through Nana.
"Mayu, please don't push me away."
Mayu responded by slamming her fist full force into Nana's face. The horned girl stumbled backwards, looking at one of her oldest friends in shock. Tears streamed down Mayu's face, her eyes blazing with absolute fury.
"YOU AND EVERONE ELSE WEREN'T EVER SUPPOSED TO FIND OUT! NONE OF YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT THAT MAN DID TO ME! BUT YOU JUST HAD TO GET CURIOUS! YOU JUST HAD TO GO TO MY MOTHER AND ASK QUESTIONS! YOU JUST HAD TO TELL THE OTHERS, DIDN'T YOU NANA!"
Mayu was screeching at this point, having lost any attempt at composure. She seethed through her teeth, anger radiating off her small frame.
Nana was on the verge of tears herself.
"I'm sorry, Mayu... I just wanted to help you."
Another strike from the brunette sent Nana tumbling to the floor.
"STOP TRYING TO HELP ME NANA! JUST LET ME FUCKING PRETEND IT NEVER HAPPENED!"
Mayu stormed from the living area, not looking back and wailing all the way to her room. Nana just stayed where she was, nursing a black eye and a swollen cheek.
Nana sobbed quietly to herself. She looked off to where a door slammed shut and Mayu's enraged screams continued.
She smiled sadly.
"It looks like Nana-Chan was too hasty. Now she has to wait until Mayu-Chan calms down and we can all help her get past this."
It was the longest four months of Nana's short life.
Scene 33. Sleeping Beauty
She lay beneath him, her own breathing barely audible over his grunts and pants of pleasure. He almost couldn't keep his own breathing from getting too loud. Lust and excitement swam through his body. This was probably the single most stupid thing he did on a daily basis.
He felt no regret or remorse for his actions though. Taking advantage of her like this sent a thrill up his spine. The fear of being caught at any moment was intoxicating, overwhelming even. With a final thrust of his hips, he climaxed inside her.
Her breathing hitched for moment and he froze. She groaned and turned her head, but still did not awaken from her slumber. He quickly pulled out of her and slipped her panties back into their proper place.
He would never apologize for doing this. He would never pray to Kami for forgiveness. He would never stop doing this. After all, it was too much fun for him anyway.
Kouta was just glad that Mayu was such a heavy sleeper. (1)
Scene 34. Replacements
"You really are an idiot. You know that, Nousou-Kun?"
Nousou looked up from his work, a pocky stick hanging from his mouth.
"And what makes you say that, Ginei-Sama?"
Ginei Kakuzawa, the first true male diclonious ever born, smirked.
"Because you cling oh so pathetically to your sentimental values."
Nousou frowned. He had never liked the boy. He honestly couldn't figure out why the Chief openly admitted to him that Ginei was his son. Despite his position, Nousou didn't even know why he would entrust him with such a secret. But his real frustration came from having to deal with the little asshole 24/7.
"I cling to my sentimental values... what's so bad about that?" Nousou growled.
Ginei smirked once more.
"Because it keeps you from accepting hard facts. Do you honestly think that getting a woman who looks like her will change the fact that she's dead?"
Nousou was on his feet in an instant and suddenly in Ginei's face, bearing teeth in a vicious snarl.
"Listen here you son of a bitch! How DARE you insult her memo-"
Nousou was cut off as Ginei slammed him into a wall with a vector.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Nousou-Kun... you truly are a moron of the highest caliber. I'm not the one who is insulting her... YOU ARE! You pretend like there is nothing wrong day in and day out. You hide all of your pain and suffering behind that fake smile of yours. Face it Nousou-Kun, all you have done is turned Arakawa into a replacement for Saito... and just because they look so much alike at that."
"Please... stop..." Nousou whimpered.
Ginei's smirk became a sadistic sneer.
"Ahhhh. What's the matter Nousou-Kun, does it really hurt that much to be reminded that your wife is dead... and that you both sent your own daughter to a life of pain and misery?"
"STOP IT! PLEASE STOP!"
Ginei loved every second of this.
"Tell me Nousou-Kun, did it thrill you to be ordered to murder your own daughter? In the most unforgiving and terrifying way at that. Did you not just love handing over sweet little Twenty-Eight to a man who you didn't even trust to be alone with your superior creations?"
Nousou was crying by this point, desperately trying to claw the vector off his neck.
"How does it feel, knowing that your replacements don't even love you back? Mariko killed Saito without any hesitation despite being the only person she'd ever fully known up until that point. Cynthia, Alicia, Barbara, Diana, your oh so precious little angels don't even so much as like you. They wouldn't even tolerate your presence if it wasn't for those mind control devices you put on their heads."
Nousou sobbed pathetically while Ginei enjoyed his torment.
"And now, Diana's in an emergency room, barely hanging to life by a thread because you were to scared to stand up to my Oto-Sama. Tell me Nousou-Kun, if Diana dies, then will you move on, or will you just surgically alter another one of those clones' faces to look like hers?"
Nousou sobs slowly ceased.
"No answer? Oh well, at least you still have Arakawa. But of course, we both know she's doing it solely out of pity for an old acquaintance. So Nousou-Kun, what will you do? Move on, or keep living in your little fantasy world?"
Nousou was completely silent as Ginei laughed cruelly. The diclonious king walked off, that sadistic sneer still on his face. He absolutely loved psychologically torturing Nousou. He just made it so damn easy.
Later that evening, Chief Kakuzawa ordered Nousou to put one of his control devices on Ginei.
It was the single most satisfying order he'd ever carried out by that man.
Scene 35. Hotdogs
"So this is your first time eating hotdogs Nana?" Mayu asked.
"Oh yes Mayu. But I'm a little worried that you would eat one of your creatures."
Mayu shook her head. "Oh no, no, no. You misunderstand Nana. Hotdogs are not made from actual dogs, but from the parts of other animals. It's usually the parts people wouldn't normally eat."
"Oh... okay, let's eat then!"
Nana tore open her wrapper and stared. She promptly blushed and let out a giggle.
"I got that part only boys have. What part did you get Mayu?"
Mayu felt embarrassment and disgust well up inside her as she quickly handed off the phallic looking hotdog to a much more eager Wanta.
1. Yes... Kouta actually did do what you think he did.
