Epilogue : 1000 Lifetimes
"Mama! Papa!"
Squall was blindfolded. Laughers were heard, he recognized there were his mother's and father's.
"Mama! Papa!" he called happily.
He took off the cloth and saw only white colour as his surroundings.
"Mama? Papa?" he cried softly.
"I'll be here……"
Squall heard a faint person's voice. His head began to hurt, gradually increasing the pain.
"Why…..? Who are you…..?" he asked curiously, sniffing, holding back his tears.
"I'll be waiting….. here….."
Squall was trying to recall the person's voice and his head hurts again. He began to see very faint fragment of memories.
"For what? I don't know you,"
Squall's head hurts even more, memories of the war began to flash in his head. Following with the date with Rinoa at the flower field, the party where they danced with each other, their first encounter at the stream and images of his comrades and hers, his mother's, his father's, Seifer's…… And Rinoa's last kiss. But, who are they?
"I'll be waiting…….for you…….so,"
"If you come here……"
Squall was feelings very dizzy and fainted on the ground. However, he heard two very strong voices at the end of somewhere. The voices were different from the one just now.

"I thought you wanted a truce," one said.
"You know you'll never get it," the other one reply.
"So what about the whole war?"
"How would I know? You're the one who started it first," the other one replied scornfully.
"Nevermind about that," he sighed.
"That's all? Is that all you're gonna say? The whole Earth is over! It ended! Hey, Miaka the producer! You're putting the story an end here?! Not fair, I have other plots against the big guy over there ya know!"
[ "Cut!"
"Devil, we are in the middle of the story. If you wanna complaint, tell me bout it during tea time. Now, be quiet and follow the script!"
The Devil was angry but he obeyed anyway.
*Wipe sweat on the head.
"Phew! Being a producer is harder than I think,"
"Miaka. How long does I have to play dead?" the bronze colour young man asked.
*Tamahome, tasukete!
"I'll be there in a minute," I replied with a fake smile.
"Nuriko, please help those NICE people with the makeup and costumes. We are hoping for that for Oscar, remember that,"
"Oh Mitsukake, have you cure the casts yet? I'm getting worried bout them and ……um……insurance,"
"I'm doing my best, Miaka san," he replied politely.
I return him a smile.
"Chiriko, where were we?" I asked impatiently.
"The confrontation between Devil and God,"
"Ok, hmm…… did I leave out anything?" I wondered.
"Oh yeah, Hotohori sama~"
"Ye…Yes, my sweet Miaka," the long hair bishonen replied, turning his gaze from the hand mirror.
"Get ready the CD and play it like I've taught you. Failure is not an exception,"
Hotohori's face changes.
*Sweat drop for the second time that day.
"I'm sorry, I'm getting panic and just wanted to end the fic smoothly. I'm sorry for using that tone on you, my highness. But since you are such a beauty that no one can conquer, I knew you would forgive me and do your best to succeed the fic right?" I spoke softly and evil grinned.
The king nodded several times, flashing a bright smile on me and on his hand mirror.
"Chichiri, on the roll," I commanded my next shichi seishi.
"Tasuki, the lights!" I shook my head.
"Let Me Be Your Angel : Epilogue, take 2!" guess who.
"And…… ACTION!" I shouted.]
"So what about the whole war?"
"How would I know? You're the one who started it first," the other one replied scornfully.
"Nevermind about that," he sighed.
"And Squall? He's the one who destroyed the whole world. (Sigh)…..I'm getting fed up with politics. And also Rinoa, she is involved too. Not to mention your other angels," Devil sighed.
"Hmm…..I was thinking about it too. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" God flashed him a cheerful grin.
"No, not that again. We have enough trouble with Raine and Laguna, I won't allow it,"
"You are the one who causes the trouble," He chuckled causing his enemy's face redden.
"Here's my plan, we'll 'repair' Earth and then reborn the both of them, including all the angels and dark angels who involve in the whole thing. How's that?"
"Whatever," the Devil replied, crossed his arms.
"Sign this agreement,"
The both of them signed the agreement with the applied conditions. But without God's notice, the Devil added another condition not listed in the agreement…..
"You'll find me……"
The voice was heard again. Squall was sure he's familiar with this voice but he just couldn't recall to whom does it belong.
*Both Squall and Rinoa will not be together for a thousand lifetimes.
"How dare you add another condition without my approval?" God raised his voice and scared Devil.
"Seal!" God casted the magic and seal the agreement, leaving no chance for the enemy to his mischief on the document.
The Devil left the confrontation board with trails of evil laughers.
Squall could hear birds chirping. There are voices again, talking and chatting, about him maybe.
"Young man…… are you ok?" the sound of an old women was recognized.
Squall tried hard to open his eyes and reply but it didn't work.
"Do you think he's dead?" the other women asked.
"Call the ambulance immediately!" a young man's voice ordered.
*Uh……where am I?
"I promise,"
Squall's eyes flung opened but the bright sunlight causes them to squint. He closes them again, trying to sit up and press his head. He shook it and fluttered up his eyes again.
"Son, are you ok? Can you walk? A car hit you just now. Thanked God, I thought you were dead!" an old man said.
Squall ignored him.
"I promise,"
Squall got up quickly, not bothering his headache and look for her? Who? The person who called him. Who's calling him? She's calling him. Who's she?
*Shall I be the one for you….
Squall spotted a girl in blue and ran towards her, ignoring the busy road of Tokyo City.
"Hey, wait!"

*Who pinches you softly but sure…..
The girl turned around and smiled.
"Yes? Do I know you?" she asked politely.
*Just reach me out then…..
Squall was speechless, he didn't know her but somehow he FELT he knew her. At least this is the feeling he had after the accident. The girl's still looking at him for an answer. But he already turned his back to her.
*You will know that you're not dreaming…..
"Hey," the girl called.
Squall turned around and met her gaze. She showed him the necklace she's wearing, it has two shimmering rings on it as pendants.
Flashing him another of her sweet smile, she said…..
"I promise,"
The End
