A/N: I just wanted to say, thanks a whole lot to Carl Lipsey. Thanks to you, I have a crazy and awesome idea for the climax! And don't worry, I'll make the 10th-12th Diary Owners very complex and challenging. And I'll explain why Hannah's Kino's love interest, as well. Enjoy!
Hannah growled as she stomped through the woods.
"Amano, where are you?"
She broke into a coughing fit as she fell on her knees.
No, I can't die, not yet... I have to kill him first! Just a bit longer. You have to let aniki know you cared about him before you go join him.
Kino's Future changed.
" 'Minor trouble, Hannah catches up to us.' Crap, we'd better skedaddle."
"How'd she manage to track us?" Yuyu thought aloud as they started walking.
"I don't care, but I don't wanna get caught by her again. She scares me."
"Why don't you just fight back, First?"
"I don't wanna kill anyone I don't have to, especially if they're not Diary Owners."
Yuyu got in front of him and walked backwards, raising an eyebrow with a smirk.
"Do you like her?"
The boy stopped walking and narrowed his eyes, his face turning completely pink.
"What!? No, of course not. Why the hell would I like her? She's a douche! The only reason I'm gonna heal her once I become god is because I promised Mike-san, that's it. It's not because I like her or some bullshit like that."
Murmur squealed and wrapped her arms around his brown head.
"That's so cute!"
"What is!? I said I don't like her!"
Yuyu chuckled teasingly.
"Yeah, sure. Just tell yourself that." She and Murmur started walking away from him. "Denying it just means you like her even more than we thought you did."
Kino was left dumbfounded with two blank eyes and an angry smirk on his completely red face.
"B... b-BAKA!"
Their parents were watching from the TV screen.
"It looks like our son likes that girl," Yukki said with a smile. "Maybe they could be the first humans of this New World EPIC TITLE DROP! to multiply. We'd have to teach them, though..." He blushed. "You know, it's times like these when I'm glad I'll be dying soon."
Yuno giggled with a nod. "He made a great choice. Hannah is very spunky, and very cute. Maybe I should get Murmur to play a bit of matchmaking?"
The god pulled his goddess by his side.
"I'm just upset he couldn't have someone like you to be his wife."
"Yukki~ That's so sweet," the pinkette said before their lips touched.
... But it's not really me you're talking about. You're talking about the first world Yuno. Don't worry, Yukki, I'll make sure you love me. I'll protect your son no matter what, and you'll fall for this me. Yes... She wrapped her arms around his neck, refusing to let him break the kiss. You'll be all mine. They fell on the floor. You don't have a choice.
Kino's Future changed.
" 'Major trouble; a strong Diary Owner finds us.' " He quickly tucked his Diary in his pocket.
His dark blue eyes scanned the streets as his sister hid behind the tanned pixie. He finally noticed a fit boy about a few months younger than him glancing around the sidewalk, holding a phone.
That must be him.
The boy's future changed. He dodged First's punch, and grabbed his wrist to flip him into a vacant bench, causing nearby citizens to scream.
"Hey, guys, there's a fight going on!" a tourist called.
"Are you a Diary Owner?"
First stood up and rubbed his arm.
"Ow... You bet I am. I'm Amano Kino, I'm the First. I have the Trouble Diary."
"I'm Dare Vil, I'm the Ninth." He held up his Diary. "I have the Challenger Diary. It lets me know when anyone challenges me to a fight, and if I'll win or lose. My Diary says I win."
First looked down at his Diary. 'Major Trouble, Ninth overpowers me. I'm dead. DEAD END.' He smirked.
"The Future can change, you know. And I'd say I'm pretty good at avoiding DEAD ENDs."
Ninth smirked.
"All right, see if you can change the Future, First," he said before charging at him. First got out of the way of his punch, allowing a hole to appear in the building behind him.
"Nii-san, duck!" Yuyu cried as she tossed a sewer lid over his head and into Ninth's face.
"Thanks!"
Ninth held his bruised forehead in pain, grunting in pain.
"So it's two on one, is it?"
"Eep!" the brunette squeaked.
"This is gonna be fun," Murmur said as she ate a piece of candy.
The Ninth moved to strike the smaller boy, but froze and looked behind his target. Kino turned around, and his dark blue eyes widened.
"H-Hannah?"
"I found you, Amano! You're not getting away from me this time!"
Kino shuttered as his Future changed. 'Major trouble! Hannah's cornering me. I'm paralyzed by her beauty and can't hit her. She and Ninth kill me, I'm dead, DEAD END.'
Yuyu pinned her down.
"I'll hold her off, you take down Ninth!"
First's Future changed. 'Major Trouble, he chokes me to death, I'm dead. DEAD END.' He squatted before Ninth could wrap his large arm around him, and stood up to headbutt his chin.
Hannah squirmed underneath Yuyu, who was having a very difficult time keeping her down.
"Murmur-san! I could use a little help here!"
"Oh, right!" the pixie said before coming in to push the bluenette down as well, making it impossible for her to move.
She growled and roared at Ninth,
"DON'T LET HIM BEAT YOU, KILL HIM! I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE FIGHTING, BUT KILL HIM FOR A CUTIE LIKE ME, ALL RIGHT!?"
"Shut up!" Yuyu cried. "Your voice hurts my ea-"
She didn't finish her sentence before blood splattered onto her bright brown hair. Kino was against the wall with a knife in his side.
"First!"
"Nii-san!"
Yukki and Yuno watched in horror as their son's blood spilled on the ground.
"Kino...?" Yukki breathed. "KINO!"
Yuno's light pink eyes seemed to have lost their pupils. She pushed her husband to the ground and dashed into a portal.
"Y-Yuno!" Yukki cried. "What's she doing...? She- she can't-"
The pinkette charged through the portal and sliced an ax into Ninth's right shoulder. He backed away, screaming and holding his aching wound in pain.
"GET AWAY FROM MY SON!" the psycho cried before she hit him again with the ax.
Yuyu stood up and slowly backed away with her hand over her mouth before Murmur hovered up to her and covered her eyes. Hannah just stared in shock.
The pink-haired yandere stood over the corpse, gasping for breath. She didn't care at all that she had killed someone, and instead bent over her son.
"Kino! Kino! It's okay, mommy's here." The brunette moaned and twitched his hand towards his wound. "Kino!"
"Second, I've got this," Murmur said before she hovered over to the bleeding boy. She held up her hands, and slowly closed his wound.
"Augh!"
"Hold still."
"... M-mom," Yuyu said as she inched closer to her, covering her eyes. "Sh-shouldn't you be heading back to dad right now?"
Yuno shook her head.
"He saw me leave, he'll be mad at me if I come back."
"Wh-what- AUGH!"
"Hold still!" the pixie snapped.
"M-mom... You're in trouble now?"
"... Yes," the woman said slowly. "But it's okay, you're my son after all. I couldn't let you die. If anyone's gonna take my Yukki's place as god, it should be you."
"B-but who knows what dad'll do to-"
"It's okay, Kino. Yukki will forever be my love, if he knows what's good for him."
Murmur finally closed the flesh wound and looked nervously up at the goddess.
"S-second," she stuttered, "wh-what would happen if, per say, he decided to divorce you because of this...?"
"What're you implying, Murmur-san?" Yuno bent over in front of her. Her eyes turned a lighter shade of pink, and her pupils seemed to have disappeared. "Do you not support my love for Yukki?"
"N-no, of course I support you two." Murmur smirked. It looks like the First World Yuno is taking a hold of her. This should make the game interesting.
"M-mom, are you okay?" Yuyu asked.
"I'm fine, Yuyu. Who's this brat? Did she try to hurt you, too, Kino?"
"N-no, mom," Kino said as he held his mother down, "she... Okay, yes, she did, b-but I promised someone I'd become god and help her."
Yuno held up her ax.
"So she tried to hurt you?"
Kino got in front of Hannah put his hands up defensively as Yuyu and Murmur grabbed Yuno's arms.
"C-come on, mom, I killed her brother. She has every right to be pissed at me."
"Then shouldn't she be eliminated, then?"
"No I'll... I'll take care of her!"
Kino blushed when he took his own words out of context, causing his mother to start giggling.
"All right my darling, I'll leave her to you then." She put her finger to his nose. "I'll stay with you for a while, and make sure you win this game then. But keep an eye on this girl, okay?"
"O-okay..."
Yukki paced around his throne in Heaven H.Q.
What do I do? She shouldn't have done that, but I... I can't punish her. She's my Yuno. But I can't just condone her unacceptable actions!
"Yukki!" a high pitched voice called from the screen. "Yukki, my love! You're not mad, are you? If you are, I'm not gonna let you divorce me! Okay?" She giggled.
The god gulped.
Don't tell me...
The group strolled down the street, Kino carrying an unconscious Hannah on his back, blushing at the blue hair against his pale cheek.
"Why do I have to carry her?" he whined.
"You said you would take care of her," Murmur snapped. "Plus, it's just amusing seeing you blush so hard."
"I-I'm not, baka!"
"... Mom," Yuyu said, "there's something that's confused me since the start of this game... Why do these kids even wanna become god?"
"Well," Yuno replied, "this world is full of brats. My Yukki created a world for them with everything they need to survive, they never had to work a day in their lives, because they were never taught. You two aren't like that because we raised you properly. Don't you think a spoiled brat would want the world and god powers for themselves?"
"... I guess..."
"You're lucky you have parents, kids," Murmur chimed. "They're the reasons you're both as well behaved as you are. People without parents wind up like Hannah."
Kino looked down at the ground with regretful thoughts were running through his mind. His Future changed.
"Wh-wh-what what what!?" Yuyu cried as she hid behind her mother. "What is it!? Is someone coming!?"
Kino's eyes widened at the last sentence in his Diary. '... my secret is revealed.'
"... I-it says if we stay here, someone will find us. We'd better head West for now." No, no no! Why now!? I can't let them know. I can't! His Future changed again. 'Major Trouble! There's nowhere to go, my secret is revealed.' "N-no!"
The wall to the building next to them crumbled down, the debris almost hitting them. Standing in the hole was a girl with long bright blond hair in a braided ponytail, and chocolate brown eyes.
" 'Major Fortune, I find First.' Aka Amano Kino. Hi, Kino-kun! Remember me!?"
"I... I don't know you."
"Oh? Then I'll remind you. My name is D Dere. I'm the Eleventh. It's nice to see you again, Kino-kun."
"You knew a Diary Owner before this game started, nii-san?"
"N-no, no, I-I don't know her-"
"So you probably know what all of this means, Kino-kun," Dere cheered. "If I kill you, and the remaining Diary Owners, then you won't have to steal your father's god powers for me."
The girls slowly turned their shocked gazes at the brunette, who was on the verge of crying.
"You... WHAT!?"
A/N: Who is D Dere? What does Kino have to do with her? Why would he try to give her Yukki's god powers? Will Yuno go unpunished? Will the author ever be able to leave us off at a good cliff hanger? That last one, oh hell naww! but the other questions will be answered in the next few chapters. TTFN!
