Well, we're ending it here. Hope y'all had fun with this. Happy Birthday Cleopatrawolf.
It was on now. Len got in a stance with his laser sword, Meiko got in a stance with hers. It was intense. The two of them started swinging.
"Let's help him!" Rin said.
"No." Kaito responded.
"Are you out of your mind?" Rin was baffled by hearing Kaito's words.
"It's his fight, he doesn't want either of us to interfere," Kaito said "he wants to avenge Miku on his own."
"But he's my brother! If he dies here then I'm holding you responsible." Rin said.
"I have faith in him, I know he can prevail, besides, he clearly doesn't want me to help." Kaito said.
"If you won't then I will." Rin said.
"Go ahead, help him, you'll only be a liability." Kaito said.
Rin sighed "You're sadly right."
"This banter between you too has been insanely entertaining." Luka said.
"SHUT UP!" Both Rin and Kaito yelled at her.
Len swung a few times, Meiko blocked. Meiko swung her own strikes, Len barely managed to dodge all of them.
"You're a better swordsman than I expected." Meiko said with a grin, delightfully surprised.
"I'm just going by adrenaline." He said with his voice still not recovered from crying.
Meiko connected a few swings that hurted Len a bit and he dropped on the ground.
"Goodbye forever." Meiko went for a killing blow, but blocked it with his sword, still laying on the ground.
"Not going down that easy." Len whispered.
"You're a real annoying one, aren't you." Meiko said with a mildly irritated voice.
"I'm a real one period." Len began to stand up as his sword started somewhat overpowering Meiko's sword.
The two of them were having an intense sword struggle.
"This is horrifying, I can't look." Rin covered her eyes.
Meiko overpowered Len and sent him a few feet away. Len got up immediately and pulled them in the sword struggle again.
"You're getting really stubborn." Meiko said.
"I wouldn't be had you let Miku live." Len said angrily.
"It's such a ugly dead body, isn't it? A proper funeral would be too nice for her," Meiko said "if it were up to me, I'd feed her remains to dogs."
"If it were up to me, I'd make sure you'll never get to kill anyone, and IT IS up to me." Len yelled.
"I've had enough." Meiko raised her sword up for a finishing blow, but it only left her open as Len stabbed her in the chest.
"AAHHH!" Meiko screamed, Len removed his sword from her chest and she collapsed on the ground.
Len collapsed on his knees and began crying again.
Rin and Kaito went near them.
Rin got on her knees and hugged Len "Don't worry dear brother, it's all over now."
Kaito looked at Meiko "Yup, she'll definitely be dead in less than an hour from blood loss."
"Kaito..." Rin got up and said.
"What is it?" Kaito asked.
"Len just killed her, tell me he's not going to prison." Rin demanded an answer in an emotional voice.
Kaito sighed "Legally, he should be in prison, he got in the fight by his own choice when he didn't need to and killed her."
"No, this can't be." Rin was devastated.
"Don't worry, we'll just lie and tell the authorities that Meiko attacked Len first and he killed her in self defense." Kaito assured.
"You... you think that'll work?" Rin was concerned.
"Hello? You two aren't the only ones who witnessed all this, I saw it too," Luka said "what's stopping me from telling them the truth?"
"Me and Rin outnumber you as witnesses and you're a criminal so nobody is believing you." Kaito said with a smirk.
"Aw man, he's right." Luka thought.
"You don't need to worry either Len, we'll make sure that-wait, where did Len go?" Kaito saw that Len wasn't there anymore.
"There he is!" Rin pointed towards Len.
He was sitting with Miku in his lap, Miku being barely alive.
"You're such a sweet boy." She said with a smile.
"NO! You can't leave me Miku." Len was crying hard, tears were coming out uncontrollably.
"I wish I coud've gotten more time with you, guess it was just fate." Miku said.
"Please don't die! We only knew eachother for a few hours, don't leave me already." Len couldn't handle this.
"I also wanted to know you more, but this is it for me, thanks for making my final moments so happy." Miku said and finally closed her eyes.
"NO! NO! NOOOOO!" He hugged her now fully dead body and continued crying over it.
"Poor Len." Rin said.
"A young boy like him shouldn't go through all this." Kaito said.
After crying with her body on his lap for over ten minutes, he kissed her lips, he didn't cared if she was dead, he just wanted to do it. With that, he stood up and approached Rin and Kaito.
"Don't worry Len, we're not letting you go to prison." Rin said.
"Thanks guys." He answered, after the worst moment of his life, he needed some good news.
Miku's family was devastated. They couldn't had imagined in their dreams that they would lose their only child this soon. She was so young, so kind, so fragile, she didn't deserved this. Kaito made sure to pay for all funeral services for them, as he felt responsible for not stopping Meiko from killing her.
Len didn't spent any amount of time in jail. In reality, he was a criminal, he killed Meiko when it wasn't warranted because of anger. He had in every sense of the word committed a crime. However, Rin and Kaito lied and told the authorities that Meiko had attacked Len first, and Len only killed her in self defense. Luka tried to tell the truth about Len being a murderer, but Luka was Meiko's ally and was outnumbered 1-2 by Rin and Kaito, therefore nobody believed her.
Speaking of Luka, she was sentenced to life imprisonment. She had killed so many innocent people, stole so much stuff, and sending so many innocent women into sexual slavery. If the death penalty hadn't been abolished over a century ago, she would've gotten it. The fact that Meiko was an even worse person than Luka went to scare Luka's fellow inmates.
As for Len, he became even more introverted than he already was. He just didn't wanted to lose anyone else. He started spending more time with Rin to help him recover. He promised himself that he would never date anyone ever again because he didn't want to replace Miku with anyone. Despite knowing that he killed Meiko unlawfully, he feels great not paying consequences. He believes Meiko was a terrible person who deserved to be killed. It's why he excepted Rin and Kaito lying for him. Even with that, he knows that killing anyone wasn't gonna bring Miku back to life. He doesn't believe in an afterlife, the concept of afterlife feels extremely silly to him, but if it's true, then he can't wait to be reunited with Miku one day. Until then, he should be just grateful to have survived the fight.
Len got back in his sleep chamber because he was tired, it had been quite a day. He closed the chamber so he could finally rest for a while.
"Thank you for everything." Miku's spirit came to say this to the sleeping boy, with that, she went back to the spirit realm knowing she'll be united with him again one day.
This was a fucking ride, I'm so happy with how this ended. Probably my favourite story I've written so far. I can't thank you all enough for reading it. Lastly, I just wanna say this again to Cleopatrawolf, Happy Birthday.
