Lovers' Destiny
Chapter 11: Destined to Be Revealed
Suddenly, enormous, black wings darted out of Luka's back. Her pastel pink-colored hair turned into a darker shade of pink, almost magenta. Luka's once beautiful, aquamarine eyes, turned into red, sinister eyes that glowed in the dark.
The dark aura that clasped Luka's waist disappeared, but she remained floating in the air with the help of her flapping wings.
"You finally came out, Luka," Kaito said, spreading his arms open-wide as if welcoming Luka.
Luka gently put her hand on Kaito's as she descended to the ground. Kaito and Luka smiled at each other.
"Hm?" Luka noticed Gakupo, her smile turning into a slight frown.
"What are you still doing here?" she said, her voice sounding different.
Luka's once beautiful, angelic voice had turned into a malevolent, evil voice that sent chills to Gakupo's spine.
"Luka," Gakupo said, his voice echoing across the room.
"Don't say my name just like that, you pest! I don't think I gave you any permission to do so!" she yelled, her glowing red eyes grew furious.
"Luka, what happened to you?" Gakupo said, walking slowly closer to her.
"You don't know how to listen, do you?" Luka said, sinisterly smiling.
Luka raised her hand and a sharp, gigantic scythe appeared.
"You're dead!" she said, getting ready to fly to Gakupo and slice him up.
"Wait!" Kaito interrupted.
"Why are you interrupting me, Kaito?" she asked, turning around.
"That's their son," he said, pointing at the frozen Gakupo.
"Hm? Ah! So he's that woman's child," Luka said, turning to Gakupo.
Luka flew to Gakupo to take a closer look at him. As she drew nearer, Gakupo got more frightened for Luka's change happened so big in so little time. Her massive wings also drew nearer to him. As he looked at her dark wings, a feather fell which made him remember the feather he had.
"You were the one that killed my parents!" Gakupo exclaimed, finally realizing that the long-haired 'Massacre Witch' was Luka.
"You killed my parents and Gumi's parents years ago!" Gakupo roared.
"Hahaha! It took you long enough!" Luka laughed.
"That's right. I killed your parents. I killed Gumi's parents," she said with no shame.
"But do you want to know something?" she asked.
"I didn't really want to kill your parents," Luka continued, not waiting for Gakupo's answer.
"Hell, I didn't even want to kill Gumi's parents. I just wasted my time and power killing those worthless people."
With those words said, she angered Gakupo, making him clench his fist.
"Gakupo," Luka paused.
"I'm a fallen angel," she exposed with no shame.
Gakupo's eyebrows arched as he was enraged of Luka's real identity.
"I didn't want to kill your parents, Gakupo, but they hid the sword from me," she said, moving closer to Gakupo.
"Sword?" he asked.
"That's right. Sword. Without that sword, I can't be killed. You see, if I had obtained that sword from your parents, they wouldn't be dead. I wouldn't have to do this to you. If I had that sword, I'd destroy it and I'd be immortal," she explained, touching Gakupo's face, almost like she was seducing him.
"Without that sword, everyone would be happy," she said, looking at a far distance, trying to imagine utopia.
"Except for me," Gakupo interrupted Luka's thought.
"Hm?" she turned back to him.
"I wouldn't be happy…because without the sword, I wouldn't be able to meet you. I wouldn't be able to feel what true love is," Gakupo said, looking sincerely at Luka.
"Love?" Luka frowned.
"What do you know about love?" she roared.
"I know it was you that taught me how to love," Gakupo said, not breaking his cool even if he was dying inside.
Luka felt a little sympathy and her eye color was returning to its normal aquamarine color.
"Gakupo," Luka said, her angelic voice returned.
"Luka!" Gakupo realized that Luka was back.
The two tightly hugged each other, angering Kaito.
He ran down the stairs and grabbed Luka's arm. He kissed her forcefully, infuriating Gakupo. After Kaito kissed Luka, her other self had returned with its glowing red eyes.
Gakupo punched Kaito on the face, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Kaito!" Luka yelled.
"You!" Luka grabbed her scythe and unleashed some of her power, causing an explosion that caused Gakupo to fly to the wall.
Cuts covered his chest, and his consciousness disappeared.
"Kaito, are you okay?" Luka turned back to Kaito.
"I'm okay," he said, sitting up.
Kaito kissed Luka again, but this time their kiss was longer. A dark aura was coming out of Kaito's mouth that was being passed on to Luka as they passionately kissed.
Gakupo, who was regaining his consciousness back, saw the kiss, which destroyed parts of his heart.
"Luka…what had happened to…you…" he said upon falling back to unconsciousness.
Gakupo woke up in his room with the light shining on his face. He sat up and remembered what happened last night. Then, he walked to Luka's room to check if she was there.
"It wasn't a dream, huh," he thought, feeling miserable.
He walked to the living room where he found Gumi, Miku, and Akaito all sitting together, waiting for him.
"What's going on?" Gakupo asked as he sat beside Gumi.
"We're very sorry about what had happened," Akaito said, looking down on the ground, ashamed he couldn't do anything.
Gakupo did the same thing Akaito did. They both felt weak, not being able to retrieve Luka.
"I'm sorry, Gakupo," Miku said, feeling sad about what had happened.
Gakupo clenched both of his fist as tears started dropping from his eyes.
"I feel so weak!" he said, banging on the coffee table.
"Don't give up, Gakupo-kun," Gumi said, trying to comfort Gakupo.
"After all, we still have a solution," Miku said, making everybody turn to her.
"What do you mean?" asked Gakupo, wiping his tears.
"Hatsune-sama! Don't tell me—" Akaito said.
Miku interrupted his sentence, making the mood more serious.
"Yes. I'll tell him. After all, everything is destined to be revealed."
