Chapter 8 preview.

Okay so I have been trying to get my USB drive fixed for quite a while now and guess what finally happened! It took forever and some money but I got most of my stuff back. Which leads me to this note here, they saved the content on it but the file I had of this was a bit messed up so some of the docs reverted to a last check-save thing. So in other words, I need to edit and write some of this all over again. But hey, I don't have to start from scratch now.

I put this together for you guys so you can expect what to come later. Hope you enjoy this preview, and I will try to get the full chapter to you guys when I can. I been back to school for a week now, and tests are already coming… ah! Damn, I still haven't finished season 2 of IS yet.

Some of the stuff might be changed because I reread this and well some of it I don't like at all, or because it doesn't fit in. Enjoy.

Natasha is on the bed breathing slowly, her body covered by a white sheet, she looked so peaceful then Ichika came back into the room. Ichika sat down slowly next to her, she looked up at him and smiled "Does that mean I can finally call you honey?" She joked hazily.

Ichika smiled back and gave off a little laugh, he looked around the atmosphere smelt of eroticism and love. He got off the bed and bent down next to her, it's dark and only the dim post light and moon outside gave any light for him to see.

Ichika took a few deep breaths and looked at her, his vision started to get better and he could see her more clearly. He held the little box out to her. She couldn't see the object to well so she pulled her hands out to meet his and held it.

"…" She pulled the object out of his hands and jolted upwards, the sheet fell off revealing her ample mounds, "I was just wonder if you would like to um…" Ichika blushed a little at the thought. Natasha looked ecstatic to the point of tears.

"Aren't you thinking a bit too far ahead?" She asked him.

"Just think of it as a promise, I will be there for you, so will you?"

She made a snide smirk, "Will what?" she knew what the question was but wanted to hear it directly from him.

"Well I've never been good at romance, so do you want to marry me?"

Natasha jumped off the bed and landed on him, they hit the floor, "Good enough" she said while smiling.

"So is that a yes?"

"Definitely"

They started to kiss again, "Are you ready for another round?" This time Natasha was the one asking the question.

Suddenly the room light up, the light partials formed a person it's Yūdaina and she is also was naked. "Hey no fair, I want to have some fun too!" She said while pointing at the pair on the ground.

Natasha's body heated up, and her face became red from embarrassment being seen like this. Ichika had his eyes wide open, and was starting to think dirty thoughts, SLAP* Natasha hit him, "Ichika no ecchi."

"Oh come on now Natasha, you can't hog him all to yourself, I am the mistress you know?" Yūdaina teased.

"Gurrrrrrr" Natasha looked angry, "Tell her she can't Ichika!"

"…" Ichika lifted Natasha up and threw her on the bed alongside Yūdaina, "Oh behave."

The water splashed rapidly onto the shore, the waves violently hitting the sandy beach side making a calm rushing noise. The scenery is beautiful dark starry skies, bright moonlight, ocean currents. Several seconds later another massive wave hit the sand bringing something up along with it.

A white worn out IS smashed into the beach, tumbling several feet from the force of the water and then head dived straight into the ground. The pieced of machinery was beyond destroyed, armor parts missing from every corner of its structure, dents and cracks racing down all its components.

Several seconds later it all vaporized away in a neon-shard storm and left the pilot resting on the sand bleeding to death.

Ichika's head is buried into the sand his body completely soaked and covered in blood. His right hand twitched as it reached up and propped himself to the side in order to rest on his back.

His right eye is bruised and swollen so he opened up his left one and looked up into the sky. Tears began to stream down his face as he cried unsteadily, as he recited chifuyu's name, wanting to return back to his sister's side.

After a little bit he stopped and just waited for death to take him, Ichika felt too weak to move. His right leg and several rib bones have been broken in the Mondo Grosso raid, in the middle of his chest was a clean bullet wound that was ripped open causing lots of blood to pour out of it.

Ichika's breathing was harsh, he grit his teeth with all his might trying to endure the pain. "W-why!" he screamed in agony, no ten years old should have to deal with this. He cursed his lungs out not even thinking out saving his breath hoping that his raucous would draw someone's attention.

Another wave hit the sand, the water running up to him washing some of the blood off. The water calmed him for a split second then brought even more pain as the salt slipped into his wounds.

The sensation caused Ichika to scream even harder mustering up all his energy to pull himself further up the beach so the water couldn't hit him.

Looking down at his leg he could see several ripped tendons and a white thing in the middle which he recognized as a bone. So much blood has been lost that his head began to feel dizzy and he began get more and more tired.

Ichika's head fell down onto the sand, all his energy has slipped out of his body. His eyes slowly began to close. "This is the end." He whispered to himself, pity and sad thought over took his mind. What will happen to Chifuyu and his friend, and that girl he saw in his vision… he will never be able to know who she really is.

It's as if the moon itself was the heavens as it rotated slowly up to his middle view. Such a mysterious thing, Ichika has always wondered what it would be like to go there and walk around. As he reminisced about the important things he would never be able to accomplish a shadowy figure moved over to him.

"Ikkun I finally found you!" a hazy voice said. Ichika's eyes widen in disbelief, he realized who it was the instant the person said Ikkun. It was Tabane. The girl bent down to block Ichika's view and raised an eyebrow.

The girl has purple hair with two braided pigtails and she wore a maid outfit that was made in a white and blue pattern.

"Oh Ikkun, you look so terrible let me help you with your boo-boos." She said while taking out a needle and stabbed it into his neck. Ichika couldn't understand what she was saying, his mind went limp as the sting ran up and down his neck. Moments later he passed out.

(Ichika POV)

My head bobbed back in forth, my eye muscles felt really relaxed and my brain feels like it's in heaven. My eyes slowly peeled open, glowing green liquid covered my body. I moved my hand a little but it felt as if it just cut throw jello. There is something connected to my mouth, and I could feel a little tube inside my throat. Huh? What the heck am I in?

Bubbles formed around me as I floated in some kind of see-through container. The liquid that I am submerged in is some kind of gooey substance. And on the opposite side of me is… TABANE-NEE!

Her interested eyes tell me that this is some kind of experiment of hers. What is she up to? I asked myself then looked around. We are in some kind of room, the only lights that are emitting is this liquid and some computer screens.

I look down at my body… everything is healed. Holy crap! I swish around the liquid and touched my legs, the cuts are all gone. Wait… how did I get into these shorts…? Oh forget it… I look at my fingers and hands they are also completely fine too, okay besides the fact that my right hand is still a robotic one. I felt some kind of relief as my heart began to race with excitement… Ah! That hurts.

I tilted my head down and looked at my chest. The place several inches above my heart is a little hole that was made out of ripped flesh.

"Don't touch it Ikkun!" Tabane yelled at me. I took my hand off of it and looked at it closely. Little by little I could see the skin tighten up and little silky red threads wrap around the hole. Seconds later my skin meshed up and began to thread up also. This liquid, it must be healing me!

I see Tabane write something down and then head over to her computer leaving me here. Hey Tabane-nee are you going to let me out? I tried to say but the tube prevented me from doing so.

I hear a little hissing noise, the oxygen coming into my lungs suddenly felt lighter. My head felt wheezy again and before I knew it my eyes closed up again and I blacked out.

Pitch black, the colors that I awoke to. I should be dead right now, the blade should have taken my life, but Ichika… my mind is empty I can't even process any more tears, please, can someone please end my life, I don't want to live anymore.

I feel cold, but my body won't let me shiver, "Who are you?" I hear a demonic voice inside my head.

I find myself floating in endless darkness, and a pair of red eyes looking at me. I don't feel scared or threatened, maybe it will let me escape from this misery.

"My name is Natasha Emilia Fairs."

"Hum… This is going to be interesting." The demonic eyes made a snide glare.

"If you're going to torture me then do it already, I have nothing to live for anyways." This is my true feelings nothingness and the need for death.

"You're desires for death, entices me, why so miserable?" It questions me like a counselor. What kind of trick is Phantom Task trying to pull now.

"Love?"

"What?" What is this thing trying to do?

"Your lover, the boy that you killed today, is he the reason? Ichika was that his name?"

I feel a surge of angry, "YOU MADE ME KILL HIM! YOU DAMN MONSTER!" I couldn't keep it in anymore, I wanted to breakdown into pieces at this very moment.

"Me kill him? What are you talking about you did it, with your own will" It taunted.

"Go to hell…" Suddenly I feel a giant hand lift me up, could robotic and dark. I gripped my neck hard and the eyes became even bigger. "Let's take a trip, shall we?" The face of the monster revealed itself to me, it's Ichika. More anger shot into my head, I feel a boiling sensation, but then everything became calm and my consciousness began to go sleepy.

… "a-ah" My head hurts, I can barely move my legs, why do if feel so… dirty. I woke up, and rubbed my eyes, the sun shined into my room, I move my upper body up and the sheets slid off, and I am naked.

"EHHHHH!"

I pulled the sheets over my breast and looked around, I hear a peaceful snore next to me, my body completely froze, I turned my head to the side and looked down, Ichika is sound asleep lying next to me. I look at my right hand, and there is a golden ring on it. Yesterday wasn't a dream it was real.

Suddenly I feel a hand squeezing my breast, I looked at Ichika again and he seemed like he's getting up to. "Huh?" Ichika looked at me with a surprised face, and then at his hand, and then back at me. I feel a huge level of embarrassment and, PAM*! I punched him, and maybe a little too hard because he fell right back onto the pillow and is now asleep again.

I got up then off the bed, and then ran into the shower. My heart is beating fast right now, but I can't help the feeling of being happy. He actually proposed to me! I have a smile on my face and it won't go away…

The hot water feels really good, I let the feeling heal my wobbly legs, the thought of what we did yesterday made me blush.

When I got out, I found some underwear and put them on, then found a nice little pink and purple polka dot dress. I got out of the bath room and Ichika wasn't there, "hum?" I hear some noise outside in the living room and decided to see what's happening.

Ichika is dressed in a white t-shirt, and some blue pants. He had his usual charming smile and was setting out some breakfast. "Good morning Natasha!" he said to me while laying down several dishes of bacon, ham, some vegetables, rice down.

"G-good morning." I have a bit of nervousness in my voice, he looked at me and then pulled open a seat for me at the table. I got over there and took seat next to him. "You look very pretty today." He complemented me, I felt some kind of anxiety, the good kind thought.

"Thanks," I reply.

He gave me another smile, and then passed me the plate, "…" I took a bite, and then another, and another, a-ah! His cooking is the best! I shoved the rice in my mouth along with some meat, how does he do this, the perfect amount of salt and sweetness, and tenderization.

I hear him chuckle, I stare at him with the food in my mouth, oh crud, I must look so improper right now. "You're so cute when you eat Natasha." If I could puff out my cheeks and give him a glare I would, but the food already filled all the puffing space, so I just gave him a glare.

He began eating too…

We ate quietly for the next few minute, I feel nervous, and how do relationships even work? All we did for the last five years is hide and fight Phantom Task, now that they're out of the picture how will we live our lives?

Has Ichika already thought of something for us? I can feel my cheeks turn red, I looked over at Ichika who was too concentrated on food to notice anything, oh he got some on is face better tell him… No, I can use this opportunity to do something cliché, like an anime!

Okay, I leaned in a nibbled of the food off of his face. And the reaction I got was a weird look… does he not like that?

"Wow, that was cliché" he said with a mouth full.

"What, I thought that you would like something like that?"

"No, it's not that I don't like it, it's just that you doing that is kind of… weird"

"Now why do you think that?" I sort of say it in an aggressive tone.

"Well you know, do you know what never mind."

"What come on now tell me" that came out a little demanding.

"No, no it's nothing, oh I got some more rice on my face, want to give it a little nibble."

"Don't make fun of me you idiot." I pretended to hit him.

"Oh come on your going to act like a tsundere now?" he joked.

"No I am not!" I pouted.

"Wow!" I say out loud, this is the first time I've been to a carnival. The place is jam-packed full of people, so many rides and activities!

"Come one Natasha! I want to ride the Farris wheel." Yūdaina shouted out.

"Just wait a minute!" I tell her, damn Ichika and his kindness, all I wanted was a regular date, and you let her join us… why do I sound so jealous?

Ichika came out of nowhere and handed me some cotton candy. "Come on Natasha, Yūdaina been wait to go on one of things forever now."

He grabbed my hand, and guided me to the line…

"Hello, tickets please." The employee at the entrance said while holding out his hand. Ichika gave him the tickets.

The employee looked at Yūdaina and I and gave off a little groan, "Boys these days, okay make sure you keep your arms in, buckle up if you want, and no making out." He looked at all three of us while saying that.

Yūdaina had a little blush, Ichika gave off a little laugh, and I had my head down in embarrassment.

We got on the cart and sat in the seats, Yūdaina was teasing Ichika, "come on Ichika, don't you feel a little naughty, don't you want to break the rules?" she then gives me a little glare. Oh that little harlot.

The ride begins, and we are lifted off over 70 feet into the air, "Wow!" Yūdaina said out loud like a little child, "look at this view, it's almost as cool as flying!" she said while standing up.

"Hey sit down we might get in trouble." Ichika tells her.

"Come on Ichika, at least be a little fun, this is our first date after all."

I feel a little nerve pop, first date, this was supposed to be Ichika's and mines! Ichika got up too and walked over to Yūdaina, "Yeah got to admit, this is a nice view"

I look outside, it's dark so the city must be gleaming with light right now. "Come on Natasha" Ichika gets me up, and all of us look over the city, "It really is beautiful."

…..

The days fly by, he said well go to the Space-needle today. We woke up early together today and went to the ferry docks, he wanted to go there early because that's when it's the nicest.

We stood there on top the Seattle ferry it was almost 6:00 A.M. I could see the fog from the early morning covering Seattle like a heavenly cloud. The skyscrapers peek at the very top like the city of angles, and a modified Space-needle that has just finished it renovation at the very top and front.

I've been having bad dreams lately as if I am going to lose him. I have these terrible dreams of being tortured and forced to do bad things.

Today's dream was a lot worse, I dreamt that there was a silver IS and I was in it, I was forced to fight with Ichika, and he ended up killing me…

I felt a slight chill and I began to puff out some of my hot breath into my hands. I suddenly feel warmth, Ichika put his leather jacket on me, and instantly my body began to feel at ease and warm.

I went over to the rail and looked at the green sea. And then something popped into my head, and I wanted to know the answer. "Hey Ichika, have you ever wondered what would have happened if the ISes were never made?"

I ask this because, what would have happened? My memories are a little foggy, but I do know one thing that we already knew each other before any of Tabane's machines were invented.

"I would have found you… eventually…" He said, but his voice hinted hesitation.

I feel relived but at the same time a little uneasy, as almost as if I deprived him of something… "We were fated to be together no matter what Ichika, even if the ISes were never made." I tell him, how I hope he doesn't remember anything. Especially that Chifuyu isn't his real sister…

"Hmm…" He looked a bit confused by my words.

I took this chance and walked over to him, before he realized it I kissed him. His lips are warm, they awkwardly tasted of pizza, but I didn't mind, I like pizza.

"Come on let's take a picture" I dropped my right hand next to his and held him, our fingers intertwined and for the first time I knew everything will be alright.

At that exact moment my head hurt a little. Ichika and I walked over to the front of the boat, and we looked into the sun rise over Seattle.

"Hey Natasha, stand right here, I am going to go down and get a picture of you, okay." He went down the stairs leaving me there.

My head is really sore for some reason, I mend it a little bit, what's happening it's like I've already been in this situation before… Oh no! I know what's going to happen.

"Hey Natasha! Smile." Ichika is at the bottom deck, and a bit too close to the rail.

"ICHIKA! GET AWAY FROM…"

A puff of red mist explodes out of his right chest. He drops the camera, and pulls both of his arms together trying to cover the blood flowing out. He take several steps back, and then another bullet hits him, he fumbled and fell off the ferry.

I turn around, a mysterious figure looks at me and smiles. "Too easy." And then I black out completely.

I jolt up, and began to cry, that was all part of the torture isn't? They did this to torture me, making me relive that moment.

I am in the dark room again and the glowing eyes stare at me, they became even more menacing and began to walk towards me.

"Stay the hell away from me!" I scream at it, but it walks up closer. I try backing up but I hit an invisible wall. I close my eyes and waited for more pain and agony… a person wearing all black, with a hood over her head walked up to me. She paused and pulled off her hood, shivers ran up my back as my heart pounded in horror. "Madoka…"
