Hello everyone sorry for never update this story faster like usual. I just having a bad month... well, to the story then.

Disclaimer: I don't own any Hyperdimension character, games etc. I only own this story and my OC. And Author Heart - Ance for her OC.


"...well, to tell the truth-" Just when Shana about to tell him the secret Kuro cut her words immediately.

"We don't know anything about that."

"I see, maybe I can find some information from lady Blanc library later. Well, I'm going to sleep now. Good night." He said before to make his way to the dream world.

After they make sure the boy is asleep they continue their discussion.

"Why you do that Kuro?" Ask Kotone.

"I'm sorry... I'm still scared if he going to hate us after he knows the truth."

"Don't worry Kuro it'll be fine and I think he deserves it, knowing that the situation become like this it's better if we tell him sooner."

"Yeah, just give me some time and I'll be ready for it."

After hearing this Shana proceed to hug them and give a warm smile. "I'm really proud to both of you right now. I believe you two will choose the right choice so please believe at yourself too okay."

"I understand mother."

"...yeah. Thank you, mom."

-?-

"Umm... where am I? I swear I'm just sleeping a while ago but now..." Shade now appear in the middle of a forest that he never saw before. But, his body is transparent like a ghost. "I guess, this is a dream then?"

He starts looking around and sees someone that attack him recently. Yes, it's Ayumi the ancient but right now she was talking with someone new.

"Or maybe not? Looks like they can't see and hear me right now. I'm curious what they talking right now."

When he start approaching them Shade notice that Ayumi was talking with someone that Shana mention before he sleeps. Black hair with black suits and he bought a red bladed knife, there's no doubt it's was Shana boyfriend. And from the situation, he sees right now looks like they both is start arguing.

"So what is your business with me? I'm busy right now so make it quick." Ayumi said to the mysterious guy in the front of her.

"...don't interfere with me if you want to live." He said coldly.

"Hmph, who are you? Why are you ordering me like that?"

"..." Instead of talk, he attacks Ayumi in the next second but she blocks him with ease.

"You're the one who must stay away from me."

On the next second they start fighting, their skills is about same because they have an equal strength and speed. Even if France just use a knife as a weapon he didn't seems troubled to block and counter Ayumi greatsword. In the next moment, France knife turned into a sword and he increases his speed but Ayumi seems anticipated it faster than he expected because now they fighting in an equal again.

After a while France starts to use his skill, he walks passed Ayumi then, after he halts a few distance away he sure that his target will get a lot of wounds. But instead covering in wounds Ayumi is blocking all of his attacks and just stay there as if she waiting for something and then strike him. And of course France block her attack and he made a distance before start talking with his opponent.

"...you're not a human."

"Now you understand right? I'm ancient, a powerful race that will conquer this world. So don't you dare to stand in my way."

"...don't worry, I just want to take something and I'll leave." He said while turning back his weapon to a knife and begin to leave.

After a while now Ayumi is now alone in the middle of the forest but it seems she aware that she was not alone. "Looks like your power start awaken Shade." She said while looking at the transparent boy who now is hiding behind a tree.

"Huh!? I thought you can't see me..."

She then starts approaching him and begins to talk. "Do you understand now? We are same, but your friend always interferes so I can't even reach you."

"Wait! Can you please tell me first... if we are same then..."

"Yes, you too... are ancient like me."

"But, how?"

"I want to tell you but not now. If you really want to know just come to me alone and you'll receive your answer. For now, I think you must wake up." She then touches Shade forehead and then the boy body start disappearing from that place.

"W-Wait!"

-Lastation Basilicom-

"W-Wait!"

"Ahh!"

Shade who is sleeping is jolted from his sleep and make Uni who is sitting beside him fall from the bed.

"W-Where is this!? Ah! And Uni are you okay!?" After seeing Uni falls from his bed he then starts helping her to stand up.

"I'm fine... it's unusual for you to wake up late so I decide to check you. But, it seems you're having a nightmare." Said Uni who finally recovered from the sudden event. She then pointing a breakfast that has been set on the table in that room. "You must be hungry so I decide to bring you some food. And it's because you're always helping around here and not because I'm worried about you okay?"

"Haha, I see... Thank you Uni. By the way, where is miss Shana?"

"She said she will back at dinner and Shade are you really going to Lowee with her? If you don't mind can I ask you why?"

"Well I just want to help her and I'm kind of curious with Lowee plus I want to help the guild too."

After a while eating the food Uni decide to ask the boy a question that makes her nervous.

"Say... Shade, what do you think about Shana?"

"Hmm? She kind and dependable I think."

"Do you... l-like her?"

After eating the last of the food he then faces Uni with a smile on his face. "Of course!"

"I-I see..."

"Same as my feeling to you too Uni. You're precious to me and without you, my life will be meaningless you know." He said while holding Uni hands.

With that Uni face starts getting redder and redder until she didn't move while the boy confused with her condition.

"Uni? Are you okay?" He tries to shake her a little but Uni doesn't seem to respond. "What should I do? ...I guess, I'll go to the guild and leave a note near her."

-Time Skip-

A few hours later Shade is just finishing some guild quests and now is taking a break in the plaza. And the two spirits starts a little chat with him.

"Today quest is quite tiring but I'm glad I can help the old lady and her belonging back to town safely." He said while drinking a can of soda(?).

Kotone: "Well, you're really kind Shade. To think the old lady belongings are a pack of weapon for the guild. That must really heavy."

"Nah, no problem! I'm glad I can help and all that the matter."

Kuro: "Yeah that's the kind of person you are Shade. By the way, what are you drinking right now?"

"Something like a soda I think? It says Doc P on the can, it's a gift from the old lady before. She even gives me a lot of it maybe a pack."

Kotone: "By the way Shade it seems that you've been closer to Noire and Uni. And with your sentences this morning it looks like a confession to me. Does that means you start to like them?"

"Oh, you mean that? I just compliment them I mean, friends always do that right?"

Kuro: "So you mean all of that is just your way to show your affection to them?"

"Of course! What else is going to be?"

Kuro: "N-No nevermind."

"Okay then, I guess I'm going to take a look around again."

.

.

.

Kotone: "To think that he misunderstand the way he compliments them. Now I feel kind of bad to all his friend right now."

Kuro: "Yeah, he's weird but unique at the same time."

Kotone: "Agreed."


After that, he starts looking around the town again. Of course, he always helping people he meets along the way until a girl with a witch hat called him when he was in the front of the guild.

"Excuse me, young boy. Can I ask for your help for a while?" The girl said.

"Sure miss, what can I do for you?"

"Thank you. My name is MAGES. and I need your help if you know some drink called Doctor Tear Popper?"

"Huh, that's an unusual name for a drink. Let me think..." He suddenly remembered about the soda that old lady giving to him before and then he pull out the soda from his inventory. "How about this one?"

"Ah! Yes that it! Young boy can I have it?"

"Sure. In fact, you can have all of it because I have a lot and I don't drink soda too often."

"Thank you and I forgot that I didn't catch your name until now."

"My name is Shade and I'm glad to be able to help you miss MAGES."

"I see, Shade huh? Thank you for your help I am able to complete my objective. I'm sorry but I need to leave now. See you later Shade I hope we'll meet again. Loochs tneve emag noitamina cisum."

"Ah, yes... See you...too?"

After parting with the witch Shade decides to back to basilicom and rest. The next day after that just went normally until the day he needs to go with Shana to Lowee.

-Time Skip-

Right now Shade and Shana is riding a boat to Lowee. They just have a chat because the trip is kinda long.

"Well, it seems you're serious about coming with me to Lowee Shade. And to think lady Noire and Uni gives me a weird look when I taking you with me."

"Really? I didn't notice it earlier, I must make sure I bring them something when I back there."

"*giggle* Yes, it seems you must do that. Ah, by the way, I think I know-"

Just then Shana catches a glimpse someone she knows but the person she sees just disappears on the next second.

"What is it miss Shana?"

"...ah! Sorry, it's nothing. Umm, like I said before maybe I know Ayumi relationship with you Shade."

"Really? Then, can you tell me what do you think about that?"

"Yes, of course, dear. I think she might be... your fiance." She said with a big smile.

"Umm, really?"

"Think of it, she said her objective is to rule this world with you and plus in the most occasion she choose not to hurt you and just try to take you away from us."

"I see, maybe I'll ask her about that when I meet with her again."

"Don't forget that you have them and me Shade. So just let us know if you need our help."

"Thank you, I'll remember that... mother."

"...what did you say Shade?"

"Mother." He said while smiling at her.

Shana was stunned with the boy words until she hugs him with the happiest face she has.

"You finally called me mother! Oh, I'm so happy that I might be dying right now!"

"P-Please don't die... and i-it's too tight. I-I can't breath..."

On the same time on the other side of the boat, a figure is just watching the two of them from the distance. It looks like he the one Shana see before.

"So... he's the one..."

And in the next moment, he disappears into the shadow.


-Lowee-

After walking from the harbor for a while finally, they reach Lowee the white continent. Despite Shana outfit, she doesn't seem to have any problem with the cold and Shade just shivering even that he wearing some extra jacket.

"C-Cold... I think I'm going to have a hard time with this..." He said while try to keep warm.

"*giggle* Don't worry dear, I'm sure you'll adapt quickly. If you want I can hug you until we reach our destination."

"Thanks for the offer but no thanks it will make harder to walk and I don't want to burden you more mom."

"It still feels like a dream when you call me that. How about we have a nice chat and hot chocolate later at my house? I'm sure it'll be lovely."

"Okay! ...A-Achoo! C-Cold..."

After that Shana told the boy to walk around the town until she finished her reports to her workplace and Blanc. Of course, the first place that across Shade mind is always the guild, so he makes his way there.

-Some times later-

"Okay, it looks like I need to wait until tomorrow for accepting the quest here."

Shade who just finishing some paperwork at the guild now just walking around the town. "Snow, huh? It's cold but pretty." After reaching a park he decides to have a little rest while observing his surrounding. "Well... maybe a little cold it's not bad... achoo!"

-Lowee Basilicom-

Right now Shana is having a meeting with Blanc in her office, they just talking about the recent event and some problem that happened in Lowee.

"I see, so that happened in Lastation .it looks like they have some connection with this situation that happened here."

"What do you mean lady Blanc? Did you mean that some monster here acts like that too?"

"Unfortunately, yes. Some monster here have some aura like that and there's no doubt that she have made her movement here too. How about Shade? did he come here with you?"

"Yes. Right now he's in the town probably going to the guild or just take a look around Lowee."

"I see... can you ask him to meet me tomorrow here? I have something that I need to tell him."

"I understand I'll tell him when I get back. Now then please excuse me lady Blanc."

"Yes thank you for your help."

After that Shana is leaving basilicom and make her way to the town leaving Blanc alone in her office. When she alone Blanc opens her notebook and then she starts writing her novel that she left unfinished a while ago. "...maybe he can help me with this too."

Back to Shana, right now she is visiting her workplace and at the same time, she meets with her friend that oracle of Lowee, Mina. They both then decide to spend some time together while having a lunch in a near cafe, it looks like it will take a long time.

-Meanwhile-

Shade who resting at the park decide to stroll the area again probably to find someone or something that he can help with. After walking for a while he then sees a little girl carrying a bag lot of food so of course he starts approaching the girl.

"Excuse me, it seems you look troubled carrying that. Can I help you borrow that?"

"A-Ah! Y-You're Shade right?"

"That's right my name is Shade and you are... now I think about it I have met you somewhere."

"Yes, we meet at Planeptune... Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself... My name is Rom nice to meet you..."

"Nice to meet you too Rom and if I'm not wrong you're lady Blanc sister right? By the way where's your twin?"

"Ram is buying something so she said to me to go home first..."

"I see, then allow me to carry that to Basilicom and can you tell me more about Lowee? I'm planning to stay here for a while."

"Sure... oh, and thank you..."

And they start walking together to the basilicom while Rom explains anything that Lowee have. They have a nice chat until Rom stomach start making sounds so they decide to take a little detour to a nearby cafe. After they done with eating they decide to have a little break there.

"This soup is really delicious I think I can eat this every day."

"This place is famous because of it... I'm glad you like it Shade."

"Yup. Thank you for inviting me here."

"By the way Shade, I noticed that your necklace is... very unique."

"Ah, this? Yeah, I feel like that too sometimes because I think this is not the original color of this necklace..." Just then he unconsciously holding the necklace and then... 'Happy birthday... Kei.' "...!"

"W-What's wrong? Are you... ok?"

"I-I'm fine..." (What is that? I think I just remembered something.) "Sorry, I don't know what just happen to me."

"I heard from Nepgear about your amnesia... I hope you get better soon Shade."

"Haha thank you for worrying me. (Now I really curious about my past... Should I do what she say? But that means... I should take the risk.)
