I released a total of eight fanfic one-shots that will become full-on fanfics, and I won't be releasing a ninth until completing another fanfic. They're all on a poll on my profile. Check 'em out, vote on what you think should be the one that's continued first. They'll all be continued, but one will be the one that replaces this when it's done. Yeah, I know I've been saying this on all the chapters, but there are a total of two votes, and they're for Pandora and My Assassin Academia, and I really want to know what people want to be this fanfic's successor.
Also, I don't usually answer reviews. But there is one review that I want to address, simply to humor them. Whether or not they were simply playing the part of Shockwave and saying things from his perspective or saying it from theirs, I can't tell. But I will answer, since I've been writing this story with Hadet being Death in the first place. I mean, just rearrange the letters in her name, it's Death.
Review: Greetings human known as AzureWriter83. I, Shockwave, have come across this story and have read it thoroughly. Supposing since you ask readers to leave a review of this story. I have decided to leave said review, so here is my review.
Having the human female child known as Hadet to be Death itself was illogical. it should have been a much more older and wiser man.
The earth itself taking a human form is also illogical, the ground cannot be a person. That is like saying liquids can take a human form.
All humans fleshlings fear death and having the two "Parents" not fear death was the most illogical thing I have seen.
In short, this entire story is illogical and impractical. But I must know this, where did you get the idea for having a Human boy have tentacles in his neck, and who do I need to talk to in order to help place metallic tentacles in the Decepticon army.
Answer: Hello Decepticon Shockwave. I am Bryant Reese. I am the head researcher of AzureWriter83's currently longest solo fanfic, What If Battles. I was tasked with answering your question and arguments with the promise of a twenty percent increase in my next monthly salary.
First, you say that this entire story is illogical and impractical. To which I say, OBJECTION! I would like to direct your eyes to the genre section of this fanfic. It was listed as Family and Supernatural. And as this fanfic falls under the Supernatural section, this means that what is considered normal will not always be so.
Second, you say that having Hadet be the embodiment of Death itself was illogical, and that it should've been an older, wiser man. HOLD IT! If Death was indeed an older, wiser man, he wouldn't have needed to appear in front of Yuma in the first place. The reason why Hadet was a young child is because she's the newest Death. And as explained, the new Death is given to a human family in order to teach morals, as well as make good memories.
Third, you say that the earth itself taking a human form is also illogical. However, look at how the story is told. Mother Earth said that she is a part of the Earth. She also said that there are new Mother Earths being born, with each version being born every 5 million years. And in order for them to be born in the first place, there had to be enough souls. Enough souls that gather over the course of 5 million years. As the first humans lived for several hundred years, this means that the Earth itself existed long before the first Mother Earth, meaning they aren't the Earth themselves, but rather the essence of the Earth. Something that's involved in the genre of Supernatural. TAKE THAT!
Fourth, you say that it's illogical for Yuma and Meg to be unafraid of Death. However, there have been multiple instances in real life and fictional stories when a parent has decided to sacrifice themselves for the sake of love. Yuma and Meg love Hadet very much, as she is their daughter. And while there is the chance of death from having her there, that doesn't automatically mean they die. And as Yuma and Meg are both parents, previously bounty hunters, they had already accepted the fact that they would eventually die. As such, there was no reason why they wouldn't accept their daughter back into their family, and refuse to be separated.
Fifth, the tentacles. The idea came from the original canon Assassination Classroom. I'm afraid that the only person who knows how to create the tentacles are Manami Okuda, Aguri Yukimura, and Kotaro Yanagisawa. And while the first two are able to make regular tentacles, the only one who can create the mechanical tentacles you want is Yanagisawa, who was already killed several years ago.
Finally, the final point… this is fanfiction. Logic doesn't always exist in these kinds of things. Thank you for your time.
Thank you Bryant. I'll give you a bonus on your next salary as we have agreed. Now, back to the fanfic. Happy New Years! As I said in the last chapter, you can expect these next four chapters, including this, are moments starring the family trio, with a final epilogue.
Disclaimer: I don't own Assassination Classroom. Assassination Classroom is owned by Yusei Matsui and Shueisha.
"Hoo! Okay, you got this, you got this. This is nothing. You've done more than this, multiple times." Meg said as she paced back and forth, shaking her hands. A hand grabbed her by the shoulder, and she turned to see a smiling Yuma.
"Calm down dear. You need to save your energy." Yuma said. Meg took a deep breath before smiling sheepishly.
"Sorry. It's, it's just that, well…"
"You've been training for this for a long time. And now, the time has finally come. You can do this." Yuma encouraged. Meg nodded.
"Right. You're right." Yuma smiled at Meg. She smiled back, with the smile widening at the sound of a certain child running up to her. She turned and caught a leaping Hadet, who gave her a tight hug.
"Good job mommy!" Hadet said excitedly.
"Too soon sweetie. You say that after she wins." Yuma corrected. Hadet's face scrunched up.
"...Good duck?"
"Close. Luck."
"Luck?"
"That's right. Luck." Yuma nodded. Hadet lit up and turned back to Meg with a smile.
"Luck mommy!"
"No no no, good luck." Yuma corrected. Meg giggled as she handed Hadet over to Yuma.
"Well, time to go. Wish me some more luck!" Meg said.
"Good luck!" Yuma said.
"Good job!" Hadet cheered.
"Luck, sweetie." Yuma corrected again. Meg smiled in amusement as she walked out. She adjusted her swimsuit. She looked up as the smell of chlorine became stronger, and the humidity in the air became heavier. There were several other women, dressed in swimsuits like Meg's.
'This is it… the Summer Olympics. Time to either set a World Record, or take home a medal. Nothing in between.' Meg thought determinedly. She took her spot, pulling her goggles from her forehead onto her eyes.
An announcer was speaking in a monotone voice, trying not to unnerve the swimmers. Meg drowned him out, breathing in through her nose, and out from her mouth. She looked up, determination burning in her eyes. Maehara and Okano were sitting in the crowd. They were grinning in at the sight of Meg's determination. Shin was sitting in between them, watching with sleepy eyes.
"This stadium… is hot." Shin said. Maehara gave Shin a look.
"So, uh, Shin… why do you keep pretending to be tired all the time?" Maehara asked.
"Pretending?" Shin asked tiredly.
"Wait, so you're actually just that tired all the time?" Maehara deadpanned. Shin nodded before yawning.
"I know I'm not… entirely human, but I… still am in a human form… It gets tired pretty… easily. Especially since Hadet… can't do all her duties." Shin explained, yawns breaking up his explanation.
"So you stay up all night to do her duties?" Maehara guessed.
"And mine." Shin nodded.
"But I thought-"
"Hadet was born to split the duties and limit life. The Reapers never lost their full abilities. In fact, should something happen to the Death, like an early death, the Reaper can take over, and vice-versa." Shin said tiredly as he watched Meg continue to prepare herself while the announcer introduced the contestants.
"I've been meaning to ask, what happens when a Celestial Being dies?" Maehara inquired as he leaned back in his seat.
"They're reincarnated. They become the Celestial Being after their successor." Shin responded.
"Wait, so the student becomes the teacher of the teacher who becomes the student who will soon become the teacher of the teacher who becomes-" Maehara began.
"You're trying to make things more confusing than they are." Shin interrupted. Okano shushed them.
"They're going!" she said. The two snapped back to attention as the swimmers dove into the water. Meg was shooting through the water pretty quickly. One or two of her opponents were keeping up pretty well. Shin was a little impressed. When they were at the beach, Yuma and Maehara had a race with each other. When they swam, there was a lot of splashing. Their arms were hitting the water with a large impact to push themselves forwards. But Meg wasn't splashing nearly as much.
"She's pretty quiet while swimming." Shin commented.
"It's all about technique." Maehara grinned. Down at the pool, Meg was carefully taking controlled breaths as she pushed off the end of the pool and swam back to the other side.
'Push yourself, but keep control.' Meg repeated in her mind. From the corner of her eyes, she spotted two other swimmers keeping up with her. She pushed herself even harder, taking quicker breaths and making longer strokes. Yuma and Hadet watched from the stands.
"Mommy is moving so fast!" Hadet said in wonder.
"Do you want to go swimming again?" Yuma asked as his eyes stayed on Meg's figure shooting through the water. Hadet nodded her head, but Yuma barely noticed as he watched Meg rapidly approach the end, slightly falling behind.
'Come on Meg. Make us proud.' he thought. As if she heard him, Meg suddenly became faster, managing to catch up to the other swimmers. Yuma and Hadet held their breaths, and broke into cheers with the rest of the stadium as Meg's hand slapped the edge of the pool, just barely before her opponents.
"Incredible! Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new record! Claiming the title of Fastest Woman Swimmer at the 200 meter freestyle, is Meg Kataoka with an incredible time of 1 minute, and 40 seconds!" the announcer yelled over the cheers, which only increased. Yuma and Hadet were cheering loudly for Meg's achievement. Maehara and Okano were both hollering in celebration as she climbed out of the pool. Meg took a deep breath, smiling as she looked around.
-Line Break-
Meg laughed as she was hoisted up for what was the third time that night by her boyfriend. She held up her gold medal, earning cheers from the TakoYummy bar. Not only were most of the regulars there, but the entire Assassination, and Hunter Classroom were there too. Vizio was in the corner, talking with Rinka and Ryu. Nagisa was fussing over his new-born son, Rokuro, who was drinking a massive bottle of milk, while Akari was gently brushing the small wisps on his head. Yada and her boyfriend John were dancing with each other along with several other couples as music was playing over the radio.
"Mommy!" Hadet called as she hurried up to them. Yuma let Meg down and she quickly scooped up her baby girl.
"Hi sweetie! Are you proud of mommy?" Meg asked as she kissed Hadet's cheeks.
"Mhm! Good luck!"
"No, it's good job now sweetie." Yuma corrected. Hadet scrunched up her nose before lighting up as Maehara handed her a rice cracker.
"It's a time of celebration! Not grammar lessons. Leave that to Nagisa." Maehara said.
"Hey!" Nagisa protested. The Classrooms turned and looked at him.
"...Yeah, you're right." Nagisa sighed as he lifted Rokuro to his shoulder and patted him firmly on the back. Rokuro's cheeks puffed up before he released a massive burp. A mouthful of drool splattered on the towel Nagisa had already draped over his shoulder. The baby shoved his hand into his mouth and began slurping all over it.
"So, what's next for the Olympic Champion?" Maehara asked the former class rep as Nagisa pulled Rokuro's hand out of his mouth and replaced it with a sturdy pacifier.
"I think I'll just come work here." Meg said. Maehara's eyes glinted.
"Really? That sounds like a good idea." he grinned.
"'Come to the TakoYummy, bar of the World Record Holder of the 200m Free-style, Meg Kataoka!' is what you're thinking." Yuma deadpanned as he pointed at Maehara.
"More customers means more money. More money means more pay. More pay means more for you guys. More for you guys means more for Hadet." Maehara grinned mischievously. Yuma turned to Meg.
"Come work here. It'll be great." he said.
"Yea! Come work mommy!" Hadet said excitedly.
"Come work here after your vacation." Karma said as he strolled over to the family of three.
"Vacation?" Yuma and Meg repeated as they looked at him in confusion. Karma nodded.
"Manami and I decided to give you three a ticket to a nice, luxurious hotel in the mountains of Kyoto. It has a hot spring, five star beds, a jazz music box as an alarm, a movie theater, arcades, and a five star restaurant, all prepaid." Karma listed.
"You're trying to show off your money, aren't you?" Akari accused.
"Between me being a bureaucrat and Manami's work with Takebayashi, we're pretty rich, even without my parents." Karma shrugged. Yuma had stopped listening and was currently hyperventilating at the sight of the massive price.
"Th-th-th-th-th-th-this is all prepaid?!" Yuma practically yelled at Karma. The devilish bureaucrat nodded with a grin. Yuma's head snapped between him and the ticket, before his eyes rolled into his head and he fell to the ground with a loud thud.
"D-daddy?!" Hadet called in concern.
"He was too overwhelmed by the money!" Maehara exclaimed as he and Meg panicked. Karma laughed as he slowly backed away. Nagisa came up to him with a deadpan expression as Rokuro babbled around his pacifier in his father's arms.
"You just got them that to get this effect." Nagisa accused.
"At least it's legit." Karma shrugged as he walked away. Rokuro burped again, letting the pacifier drop from his mouth.
-Line Break-
After Yuma woke up from the shock, the party continued. The Assassination and Hunter Classroom had a nice laugh as Ryu proceeded to crush multiple people in arm wrestling. John and Ryu had a nice challenge, but it ultimately ended with John being flipped over Ryu, and the table and floor being smashed.
"You're too strong." John grumbled as he rubbed his sore arm.
"You've gotten weaker." Ryu retorted as he counted out some bills to an angry Maehara.
"I've been spending time with Toka." John countered.
"That's not an excuse. I've been spending time with Rinka, and neither of us have been slacking in our duties." Ryu countered.
"Well! I! Uh… Dammit." John grumbled as he turned back to his chicken buckets. Yada smiled in sympathy as she patted him on the back. She spotted Hadet peering over the edge of the table as she stared at the chicken wings.
"Do you want one?" Yada asked. Hadet nodded sheepishly.
"Please?" she asked shyly. Yada smiled and grabbed one. She handed it over to Hadet, and the little girl lit up.
"Tank you!" she said happily before walking away. Yada smiled.
"Between Rokuro and Hadet, I want a kid!" she said to her boyfriend. John choked on his drink. Hadet looked back at the two in confusion before shrugging and swallowing the wing. Shin walked up to her.
"You're not supposed to eat the bone." he said tiredly.
"Bone?" Hadet tilted her head. Shin sighed and rubbed her head before walking away.
"Shin." Yuma said. The tired Reaper looked up at Yuma, as he held a plate of food.
"Time to eat." he said. Shin nodded, and the two walked over to a table. Yuma put the plate down, and Shin looked at the colorful plate.
"Sushi?"
"Sushi?" Nagisa perked up from a couple of tables away. Rokuro babbled in protest, bringing his father's attention back to him.
"You obviously can't seem to learn your lesson when it comes to hot food. So, why not have some colder food?" Yuma said. Shin shrugged and picked up his chopsticks. He popped one into his mouth and chewed.
"Hm… this is pretty good." Shin said. He began eating the rest of it. Yuma smiled and walked away. Meg was sitting at a table, watching Hadet walk around. She was still avoiding Ryu, Akari, and Aguri, much to the last two's disappointment, but she was eager to talk to all of her aunts and uncles, no longer shy. Yuma sat down next to her.
"How are you feeling?" he asked. Meg turned and smiled.
"Good. I have a handsome boyfriend, adorable daughter, and a World Record. And this gold medal." Meg said as she held up the shining medal. Yuma admired it.
"This is a beautiful shine to it. It's almost as expensive as THIS HOTEL VACATION!" Yuma exclaimed as he held up the pass.
"I admit, I'm really excited. I already love hot tubs. This will be a very nice way to celebrate." Meg said as she looked at the pamphlet.
"Let's hope it goes better than our time to the resort." Yuma said.
"Yeah, hopefully." Meg laughed.
-Line Break-
On the Saturday after their celebration, Meg and Yuma packed their suitcases and helped Hadet pack her backpack too. The family of three got into the earliest tree, and they made it to the hotel rather soon. The room had a plush, velvet rug between the beds that Hadet practically sank into when she laid down in it. The bed was so soft, warm, and comfortable that Meg almost fell asleep simply by lying down. The bathroom had a large bathtub that Meg jokingly said that she and Yuma could fit in with Hadet. It was a good thing too, since her attempt to tease Yuma made her realize that he was passed out on the floor from the shock of the luxury.
After he woke up, the three walked down to the dining room. There was a complete, and total feast. The buffet tables were filled with some of the highest luxury dishes from all over the world. Yuma and Meg, after seeing these, went out of the dining room where Yuma proceeded to faint again. After he woke up, the two were slightly cautious about the food, but were absolutely delicious. Hadet was extremely eager to eat the food as well, but Yuma made sure that she minded her manners.
"This is so, expensive… I, I don't think coming here was a good idea." Yuma swooned as he and Meg walked back into the hotel room. Meg grabbed him as he fell over. A staff member came over.
"Is everything fine?" she asked in concern.
"Ah, yes. He's, uh, he's just not all that used to such a high quality setting, we got our rooms as a gift from a friend of ours." Meg explained sheepishly as Yuma got back to his feet. He apologized to the staff member and the family made it back to their room.
"Man, this is quite embarrassing." Yuma said. He plopped onto the bed. He made a noise of approval. Hadet grabbed his leg and climbed up his pants. Meg laid down next to Yuma, letting Hadet lie down in between them. They all sighed in pleasure from the softness of the bed, not even realizing that they're falling asleep.
-Line Break-
Yuma snorted as he woke up. He managed to push himself out of the bed and looked down at his girlfriend and daughter. They were curled up with each other, with Meg drooling slightly.. He sighed as he stretched before reaching over and undoing Meg's ponytail. He looked over to the clock, seeing that it was half an hour before midnight.
"Man, that bed is to kill for." Yuma said. He looked around, before smiling. He walked over to his suitcase.
"I'll go down to the hot spring." he said to himself. He quickly scribbled a note and changed into his swimsuit and walked out of the room. He made his way down to the hot spring. Walking in with a towel in his arm, he looked at the sight of the hot spring with an open mouth. It was massive, almost half the size of a soccer field.
"This seems to be a bit, uh, overboard." Yuma walked into the hot spring, letting himself sink into the warm water. He sighed in delight.
"Hah… this is nice." Yuma said as he sank down to his chin. He closed his eyes and let himself relax entirely. He didn't know how much time passed, but he just barely heard the door open after a while.
"Room for two more?" Meg's voice came. Yuma's eyes opened and he turned. Meg was standing near the entrance of the hot spring, Hadet cradled in her arms, both dressed in one-piece swimsuits.
"Of course! Come on in, the water is amazing." Yuma said. Meg and Hadet came over, and Meg sat at the edge with her legs dipped in.
"Ooo, this is amazing." she said. She looked at Hadet.
"Now sweetie, this might be a little hot, but just relax, okay?"
"Okay mommy." Hadet said. The two sank into the water. Hadet yelped slightly from the hot water, but soon relaxed. The three sighed in unison. Yuma glanced up, and smiled.
"Hadet, look up at the stars." he said. Hadet and Meg tilted their heads up, and Hadet's eyes dazzled at the sight of all the beautiful stars.
"Pretty." she said.
"Do you know them?" Meg asked. Hadet shook her head.
"No. Ms Areth didn't introduce me yet." she said. The three sat there, enjoying the water. Hadet yawned cutely after about thirty minutes before closing her eyes and falling asleep again. Yuma and Meg smiled, and took it as a sign to get back to the room, agreeing to return later during the day to enjoy it fully.
Back there, Meg woke Hadet up again long enough to dry her hair before letting her fall asleep again after being tucked in. Yuma and Meg sat in their bed, agreeing to sleep in a separate bed from their daughter so that she'd be more comfortable. If she wanted to sleep with them, she would be able to climb into their bed with a chair they set up next to it. The two sighed again.
"Remind me to thank Karma when we get back, this is so comfortable." Yuma said as he laid back. Meg nodded as she laid down next to him. Yuma and Meg looked at each other.
"This is nice." Meg murmured.
"Yeah, it is." Yuma agreed. They fell silent.
"Meg?"
"Hm?"
"Can… Can we kiss?" Yuma asked hesitantly. Meg's eyes opened and she looked up at Yuma. Their faces were slightly flushed.
"Yuma?"
"I mean, we are dating after all. And, we are Hadet's parents…" Yuma said sheepishly. Meg propped herself up on her elbows and scooted up. She held herself over Yuma, and the two stared at each other as moonlight filtered into the dark room. Meg's head dipped down as Yuma's rose up, and their lips met. They slowly shifted around, becoming more comfortable as their lips moved to fit each other better. Meg let herself fall onto Yuma, and Yuma brought his arm up and over her back.
There was no talking, no moans, no grunts. Just two lovers expressing themselves. The two let out quiet sighs before pulling away. They looked at each other before kissing again. After kissing for a third time, Meg laid her head down on Yuma's chest.
"That was nice. A bit simple, but nice." Meg said quietly. Yuma made a sound of agreement, letting it rumble in his chest. Their hands met and intertwined their fingers.
"Meg…" Yuma began. She opened her eyes again and looked up to him. Yuma looked down at her with love in his eyes.
"I love you." he said. Meg's eyes widened, before they filled up with the same love.
"I love you too." she said. Yuma's smile became brighter, and the two kissed again. After pulling away, Yuma looked at her again. He sat up, prompting Meg to sit up as well. He looked at her seriously.
"Meg Kataoka, I love you. I love you so much. Will you marry me?" he asked. Meg's smile widened, and she leaned forward for another kiss. She pulled away and smiled again.
"Yes, I will."
Phew! Man, I never thought I would be putting this much effort into writing a proposal scene. I mean, Hayami and Chiba were married off-page. Nagisa and Akari, probably married off-page. I thought about just leaving it at the kiss in this chapter, since I'm not very good at romance, (I mean, have you read the Life of Hunters? I think I did a good job of the story as a whole, but the date was just lame.) but this is about Yuma, Hadet, and Meg. I can't just throw away the marriage proposal so that it happens off-page! Hopefully I did a good job. As per the usual, leave a review! Azure out!
