Helloooo! Welcome to my first fanfic for this site. I wrote it about my favorite video game ever, and I hope you like this as much as I liked Chrono Cross! ^_^ Thanks, and please review it and tell me what you think! I rated it PG-13 for violence, very brief language and a tiny bit of domestic violence. ; _ ; Anyways, PLEASE review! ^_^
Disclaimer: I unfortunately don't own Chrono Cross or any of the characters I used so stop suing me!
Horrors of the Past
She giggled as she ran along the beach. Her tiny legs kicked up water as she laughingly ran away from the small boy chasing her. She turned, sticking out her tongue, when a deluge of water splashed her in the face. "Nikkiiiiiii!" she squealed. Her face dripping with the crystal clear water, she stood there shaking angrily.
Nikki stopped and looked at her, her strawberry colored hair plastered against her wet face. She stood there, flustered, with her hands on her hips. While she started sputtering, Nikki sat down on the rose colored earth and splashed the water about idly. "Awwww, come on Miki, you're no fun," the nine-year-old said, grumbling. He looked out into the sea, with his eyes fixed on the horizon. After scanning the depths of the ocean, he sighed and lay down in the water.
Miki sat on the ground, leaning back on her hands while she wiggled her tiny toes in the cool water. She pushed a lock of hair out of her eyes as she turned to Nikki. She sighed deep within her heart for him. She loved him so, yet he didn't even see it. Then again, maybe he just wasn't ready for girls yet, they were still very little. Miki smiled. It didn't matter, she'd be with him...forever. Miki had always felt very protective of Nikki, especially with all the monsters roaming about the beautiful coasts of Marbule...
The waves lapped against the ship's wooden hull. Crystal clear droplets cascaded into the air with each crash of the nature's blow. The ship kept plowing on through though...it always did. He stood in the front of it, by the wheel. He watched it turn...and the ship turn in synch. Why was it that whenever he dreamt of his family, even the slightest things seemed to capture his attention? He turned, leaning on his steel sword. He loved his ship, he always would. The S.S. Invincible...it's name alone inspired pride and honor in his heart. But the long trips over El Nido's seas could leave Fargo's heart filled with sorrow. Because, he missed her...greatly...
"Wheeeee!!!" A flash of red went by as Zelbess rolled her eyes. Right on the heels of Miki was her son, Nikki. Miki was racing around their house, with Nikki chasing after her. Their giggles rang through the air as Zelbess grabbed at her stomach. She had known, even before he left...
"Mooo-om!" Nikki whined as he stood at the other end of the house, "I'm hungry!"
Zelbess nodded and walked over to the family's oven and began cooking some of the fresh fish she had just bought from Marbule's market. Nikki had pulled up a stool to the marble counter for himself. "Nikki! Get a chair for Miki, da?" Nikki rolled his eyes as he pulled over another chair. Zelbess smiled slightly as she saw Miki swoon with a loving sigh as she sat at the counter as well. Zelbess turned back to the fish, but her mind was on her son...Nikki was special, she always had known. And yet, it sometimes discouraged Fargo. He loved Nikki, that's for sure, it was just...he wanted Nikki to grow up to follow in his footsteps, which was something Zelbess knew Nikki was not into. Ever since he was young Nikki had a passion for performing, and thus, he had clicked with Miki at a young age. Her fish done, Zelbess made her way back to the oven. She bent over to take the fish out, ignoring the slight pain in her chest.
"I hope it's good...I'm REALLY hungry!" Nikki said earnestly. After cutting up the fish she served it to the two children. They greedily ate it up, and she smiled. But, her mind continued to head back to Fargo with worry. Would he understand? It was going to be soon, very soon...she hoped he would understand, she hoped he would...
A slight chime of bells rang throughout the small temple. The clicking of shoes followed. The small woman walked across the cool stones up towards a strange altar. She smiled and winked at him. A slight growl emanated throughout the temple. "Kill them..." The bells rang out again as she shook her head, and walked out...
Miki walked down the cold streets of Marbule after spending most of the day at Nikki's. She shivered as she pulled her raggedy red scarf around herself. It was always best when she stayed with Nikki...she couldn't bare to stay at her house for long. It pained her to see Father like that. And Mother was always so sad. Every night, she just went home and cried. It was terrible the way she felt. And then, to go to Nikki's house and see the family's love for one another. One day, she would have a house just like that...maybe her and Nikki would have two small children of their own. Miki smiled. She had to not dwell on the present, but rather, dream about the future. Miki saw her tiny home up ahead. She gathered herself together and walked up to the door and knocked on it with her tiny fist. Nothing...figures. She sighed and pushed the door open. They never answered it for her... "Mom? Daddy?" Miki whispered.
Her mother was around the corner in the family's tiny living room. But...everything was tiny where they lived. Mom was crying...again. Miki pulled herself up onto the counter and saw her father sitting on the other side, grumbling. "Dammed work...who needs it?"
"How can you say that Alexa?! We have no more money...think of Miki!" Her mother said. Miki shrunk down from the counter after brushing her hand against her father's mug of...alcohol. As she got down, she tripped, knocking the mug off the counter and falling herself onto the ground. She began whimpering as her mother, Elaine rushed to her side. Alexa's eyes got red with a drunken rage.
"That stupid brat...she's never home to help around the house, and when she is, it's only to mess it up!" Alexa rose from the counter and swaggered over to Elaine and Miki. Elaine turned, sheltering Miki as Alexa grabbed her shoulder.
Elaine shouted, "Stop that! She's only a child."
"Are you...protecting her? She's my child, and I'll do as I please!" Alexa said calmly...yet with a malice in it that was unmistakable. Miki whimpered again. "I've HAD it with her!" Alexa leapt at Elaine and Miki, but Elaine placed Miki on the ground. Miki scampered off into the corner as Alexa grabbed Elaine by the hair. She shrieked as he pulled her backwards.
"Alexa, stop it, you're hurting me!" She whimpered.
Alexa laughed evilly, "I'm HURTING you?! You ain't seen nothing yet you stupid bitch!" Alexa backhanded Elaine, ignoring her cries of pain. He pulled back his hand to strike again, when a glass of beer came hurtling through the air, striking him in the back of the neck. Alexa collapsed on the ground as Miki stood near the counter, breathing heavily. Elaine pulled herself up off the ground...and started crying.
