A.N: Hey everyone!Chapter 11 is finally up with a few more complications in everyones life. Hope you enjo reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
Damon Melee: I'm glad you came back! It's good to see some fans from the first part of the story. I hope you weren't bored form reading chapter 1 to chapter 10. Well as you see everyone that sends me a review, I reply back. Whether it be questions, comments or little things that help the story get better. I listen and try to do what you ask. Once again, thanks for coming back and staying with me.
Pherexio: I agree with you I honestly didn't find any feel anything toward this chapter. I try to write my story only when I'm up to it or else it turns out like chapter 10; which is horrible. But I startled to lack in my story so I tired to quicken up a bit, which was a big mistake. Once again I apologize for the horrible chapter and will redo it once I get ahead in my writing.
Xangel-Rebirth: Yeah I decided to add something sad happen because I kind of had the feeling that the reader would wonder whether or not Zero was in love with Iris. Well hopefully this will add a little more interest in the writing.
NekoGuyFan: I try to surprise my readers as much as possible! I'm not sure exactly how old Axl is but if I had to guess, I'd say late teens, (17-19)
Series: Megaman X (MXZ2) Chapter: 11
Axl walked besides Megazero through the halls, still blushing. Why did I move in like that? What was I thinking? Does she despise me? Her footsteps stopped and Axl turned around. Megazero stood her ground and she looked at the ceiling.
"I can't believe I still love him..." Axl looked confused. "I should be over him and I should be looking towards the future, but...I can't." Tears began to roll down her face. Axl took her in his arms and he held her tight as she let him take her. She put her arms around his neck and cried.
After a few minutes of crying Megazero and pulled away. "Thanks Axl. Crying makes me feel a lot better." Axl nodded and smiled.
"Anytime. You sure you feel okay?" Megazero nodded and Axl walked her to her dorm. Megazero typed the code in and the door opened. Megazero turned to Axl and smiled.
"Thank you for helping me out." She leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. Axl blushed as the door closed behind her. Axl started his way to his dorm when he spotted X walking by.
"Hey X." X looked over and smiled.
"Hi Axl, How's it going? You two came back so early?" Axl replied.
"Yeah well, Megazero gave up on her mission and she's back in the dorm...I don't think she wants to be disturbed." X looked a confused.
"Why what happened?" Axl sighed and the two walked towards the training room as X was filled in on what had happened.
Megazero took her shoes and put them in the closet and pulled out her long Pj shirt and put it on. The scene at the lake played in her head over and over. Megazero put a straight face and said to herself. "Come on Mega! Snap out of it. It's for the best..." She looked at the window and saw part of her reflection. "I better take off this makeup, it looks silly." Megazero entered the bathroom and turned on the facet. She looked at herself in the mirror. I look pretty...maybe I Zero saw me like this... He might come back to me….No, that's stupid She washed her face and brushed the curls out of her hair as much as she could. She walked out and sat on the bed and continued to brush her hair, she sighed as she looked around the room in boredom. She stopped at a small red book. She got up and set the brush on the desk and walked over to the book. "I don't remember seeing you here..." She picked it up and examined it. "Where's you title?" She heard the door open and went to see who came home.
She stuck her head out from the room and saw Zero walk in. This is it. Its time to change and let Zero be She tried speaking in her normal, causal voice. "Hi Zero, how'd Iris birthday date go?"
"Good, how was your day?" Zero asked. Megazero shrugged.
"Can't complain. So where'd ya take Iris?" Megazero put her hands to her hips, still holding the book in her left hand. Zero caught the book in his sight. He felt anger and embarrassment rise as he snapped at her.
"You did read it didn't you?" Megazero's face filled up with confusion.
"Read what?...Oh this?" Megazero pulled the book up and replied. "I was about to ...what is it?" Zero slapped the book out of her hands. Megazero jumped a little in fright.
"Why did you read it! You had no right!" Megazero backed away and said.
"I don't know what you're talking about. It was on the floor...I just picked it up and.."
"Don't lie!" Zero pushed her onto the bed. Megazero sat up and shook her head.
"But I didn't read it, I just got a hold of it right now, I was looking for a name and then you came-" Zero was angry and picked up the book.
"Oh really? So then you didn't read it-" Megazero nodded as tears began to form. "So you don't remember this?" Zero opened the book and flipped over to a page and began reading. "I just made love to Megazero. It was our first time. I never felt this way before, we bonded and it was like we both became one, in souls as well as bodies. I wanna be like this forever. I love you Megazero and always will." Megazero stayed quiet. Zero snapped. "You don't remember reading this! Well then, how about this?" Zero flipped over to another page and read. "Megazero chip was destroyed and she was going to explode, she kissed me and then jumped into the flames. I tried running after her but X stopped me and teleported us out. I cried most of the night in X's arms outside of headquarters and now she's really gone." Zero had tears rolling down his face as he finished reading the sentence and he fell to his knees. "I hate you Megazero. How could you read my journal? It has memories that need to be erased." Megazero put her hand to her mouth and cried. Zero watched his tears fall down and disappear in the carpet. Megazero got off the bed and sat on her legs in front of him as she yelled.
"And I hate you, Zero. I went through hell trying to get back to you. You never really understood love; it's not only a feeling." Zero looked at her. Megazero's eyes were filled with tears like his. "It's a need. The need to get back to the one you love, no matter what the price is. The need to feel them, to show them that when you're together nothing can go wrong! It's everything, Zero. It's what keeps us alive!" Megazero closed her eyes and whispered. "It's what can also kill us..." Megazero raised her head and put her hand on his face and forced him to look at her in the eyes. "I felt that need, Zero. I felt it and it was the only reason I stayed alive and came back!" Zero looked at her eyes and then tried turning away but Megazero held his face in place. Zero closed his eyes and whispered.
"Tell me the truth. Did you read the book?" Megazero shook her head. Zero growled. "Tell me the god damn truth Megazero. Did you read my journal!" Megazero tried to look angry but the look on Zeros face prevented her from making any other facial expressions other than sadness.
"No..." Zero felt the grip from her hand loosen. "I haven't even opened the book." Megazero rose up from the ground, slowly; leaving Zero behind. She wiped the tears with her shirt and sat on the lounge chair. She buried her face into her knees and cried. Zero looked at the book and then at her. He tried speaking her name but no sound came out.
X and Axl walked up to Axl's dorm. "So basically that's what happened." X nodded and responded.
"I guess Megazero has finally given up on him." Axl was silent. X looked at him. "What did she say about the kiss you gave her?" Axl turned red.
"Nothing...I don't know if that's bad or good but it was silent the whole way home."
"I see….well I think I should be heading back. Zero should be coming back soon." Axl opened his dorm door and watched X leave. Axl walked in and heard X say. "I'll go comfort Megazero."
X entered the dorm quietly. The place seemed unwelcoming; the lights were all turned off except for the bathroom light. X walked into the bedroom. The bed hasn't been touched since this morning and Megazero wasn't in sight. He turned to the bathroom door and knocked on it softly. "Megazero?" X asked. Zeros voice answered.
"She's on the chair." Zero was monotoned. X couldn't detect any emotion. He turned to the lounge chair and sighed. Megazero was cuddled up in the chair sleeping. X looked at her closely, she had been crying. X heard the door open and he asked, hoping Zero wouldn't suspect anything.
"Why is she crying?" Zero didn't answer as he walked over to the bed and pulled the sheets. X repeated his question. Zero sighed and pulled the little red book from under the bed, where he had placed it after their fight.
"I think she read this and doesn't want to admit it." X tried to swallow as he shook his head.
"You don't believe her?" X tried hard to sound normal.
"I don't know. With Iris and Megazero not getting along, how do I know who's telling the truth or not?" X bent and picked up Megazero slowly, to not wake her up. Zero pulled the cover back and X placed her on the bed. Zero pulled the covers over her as X said.
"Let's go talk about it." Zero shook his head.
"It's getting late, maybe tomorrow." Zero and X got into bed.
"Do you wanna talk about it here?" Zero looked at X.
"It's late and-" X interrupted.
"Not late enough for a small chat." Zero sighed and agreed.
"Five minutes." X nodded and replied.
"That's fine."
Megazero felt the sunlight hit her eyes. She lazily turned over away from the sun. X was gone. Megazero opened one eye to make sure. His side of the bed was empty. Megazero turned around and noticed Zero was still there. I can't win you back anymore. You hate me now. Your journal and those memories of me haunt you. "I'm going to get over you, Zero. It's for my own good. Starting today you are only a friend." Megazero got up and left the bed. Stretching she went into the kitchen and started to make breakfast.
Zero opened his eyes and smelled eggs. He rose up and noticed he was the last one to get up. Sighing he pulled the covers away from him and got out of bed. He stepped on the little red book and remembered everything from last night. He slowly entered the kitchen and Megazero turned around, seeing Zero she immediately went back to cooking. Zero walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. As he reached for milk, Megazero said softly. "I made you coffee and I'm almost done making eggs. Scambled's still your favorite right?" Zero froze.
"You made me breakfast?" He detected embarrassment in her voice as she responded.
"Ummm..well yeah…You don't think I'd let you go start a day without a good breakfast did you?" Zero stayed silent. "Scrambled isn't your favorite anymore is it?" Her voice sounded disappointed.
"No, it's not that….It's just that you still went through all that trouble and last night I treated you so bad." Zero paused. "I don't know what to say." Megazero shoved toast into his mouth, avoiding the subject.
"You want juice or milk?" Zero pulled the toast out of his mouth and put it on the counter. Megazero turned away again and continued to cook his eggs. Zero stood right behind her and put his head on the back of her neck. Megazero stopped and felt her heart beat speed up. Mega get a hold of yourself, he's just a friend.
"I'm sorry." Megazero felt Zero lift his head. He picked up the toast and bit into it. "X, told me what happened. I thought you looked through it but I was mistaken. I'm sorry."
"It's okay..." Megazero said trying to hide any other emotion other than happiness, as she grabbed the plate next to her and put the eggs onto it. Megazero smiled as she turned around. "I forgive you." Zero smiled back softly. She put the plate out and Zero reached out for it.
"Zero!" Megazero and Zero pulled away and the plate fell down smashing itself into tiny pieces. "What are you doing with my Zero, Mega?" They both turned to Iris who entered the dorm.
"I was umm….making breakfast and I uh…..made too much and umm….I asked if he wanted them and uhh….he said yes." Megazero lied. Iris looked at her then at Zero.
"It's true, Iris." Iris shook her head.
"Megazero, you think sharing your breakfast with Zero will make him like you again?"
"Iris!" Zero demanded. "Stop, it was nothing like that."
"No, making breakfast won't change his feelings for you, Iris. I know that. I will never win him back. He loves you too much." Megazero said and she bent down and started to pick up the plate and the eggs. Zero looked at her and tried to say something but he stopped. He bent down and started to help Megazero.
"Zero, did you forget that we were supposed to have breakfast together?" Iris joined and cleaned up.
"No, I didn't forget. I was just being nice to Megazero." Iris sighed as she grabbed the largest piece of the plate and threw it in the trashcan.
"Well then, let's go and have breakfast. Megazero you can join us, if those were your eggs." Megazero shook her head.
"No thanks, umm...I'm late anyways. I don't have time for breakfast." Megazero picked up the last piece and threw it in the trashcan. Zero watched her go into the room and close the door.
"Iris, don't take everything so personal. Mega didn't mean to..I mean she didn't know. Megazero's over me." Iris didn't seem too convinced.
"How do we know that? I don't want to lose you Zero. What if she's trying to seperat-" Megazero interrupted as she walked out of the room
"I'm over him Iris." Iris asked.
"How do I know that?" She turned to Zero. "I think you should come and sleep over at my place from now on. It's too crowded here, don't you think?" Megazero felt butterflies in her stomach. No, say no Zero. You can't stay with her at night! I won't let you...
"I'm seeing someone Iris." Megazero said. Iris looked at her surprised. Oh no what have I said?
"Who?" Iris demanded. Zero looked shocked. Megazero looked at her feet as she tried to say someone's name.
"Well..Umm...I don't know if you need to know that..." Megazero said quietly. Iris nodded.
"That's what I thought." Iris rolled her eyes. X opened the door and smiled.
"Hey guys. What's up." Megazero immediately grabbed X's hand.
"Here's my boyfriend! See? I'm dating X." Megazero said. X looked at her in bewilderment. Iris looked at X.
"Is that true? You're going out with Mega?" X felt Megazero give him a soft nudge. X nodded as his face turned red. Zero's mouth dropped. Iris shook her head. "I don't believe it. I've never seen you guys anywhere together." X nodded and blurted out.
"Um..Well, just knowing that we love each other is all that matters." X kissed Megazero on the cheek. "See?" Megazero turned red and nodded. Iris smirked.
"Give her a real kiss, X." X's and Zero's mouth fell to the floor. Iris repeated herself. "Anyone can give anyone a kiss on the cheek." Megazero was about to protest when X grabbed her and placed his lips on hers. Iris looked surprised. X let Megazero go and looked at Iris "Well, I guess I was wrong." Iris grabbed Zero and pulled him out. "Sorry Megazero. I didn't mean t be so rude to you. I had no idea. Please accept my apology." Megazero was still stunned from the kiss. X responded.
"I'm sure she forgives you." Zero was still stunned. He looked at X then at Megazero and left with Iris. X closed the door and turned to her. "Well?" He began to tap his foot like a father, as he waited for her response. Megazero blushed as she touched her lips.
"Thank you, X" Megazero said. X gave her a mean look. "Look, I'm sorry. It's just that Iris was going to take Zero away and I had to come up with something. I just didn't know who else to bring in and then you came well you were the only one here and …well yeah." X didn't seem amused. He was still tapping his foot and he had his arms crossed over his chest. Megazero smiled a little and asked with a hesitant tone. "So uh what do we do now, uhh boyfriend?"
A.N: So Megazero once again tries to give up on Zero. Will X and Megazero give it a try or will it end up in flames? Hope you guys enjoyed it and hope to hear all your comments! Until the next chapter. Bye! R&R.
