In the end…
Authors notes: Hello again! First of all… if you read the first chapter, that is, I stated that there would only be two chapters. Cream-Chan inspired me with her story titled "If I Could Turn Back Time" , and this made me want to do a little story that relates with hers.
So here it is! The final chapter to my first Delphine X Cicada Fic! That special someone! Hehe!
… Milk-Chan
Delphine sat in the chair she had always sat in since she became Maestro of the Guild at age 14. This chair… she considered special, because it was in her favorite room in all of the entire Guild palace. Cicada was there too. They had been having a serious talk about how things would be once they had captivated and retrieved EXILE. It was true that exile was a colony ship from long, long ago… but both Cicada and Delphine wondered what it would be like to ride aboard the greatest ship ever created. EXILE hadn't been fully activated yet, they were waiting for the guild to retrieve Empress Sophia, and bring her to the guild among herself, Alex, and Alvis and activate the KEY to EXILE.
Cicada sat Indian style on the glowing floor of the most gorgeous room you could have ever seen. Trying to calm Delphine somewhat, he broke the serious conversation with a sigh. "You know Delphine…" he said as he smiled. "Yes Cicada?" Delphine said smiling back at the other, gazing into his eyes with a sweet feeling inside her at the moment.
"I love y….."
The sentence was cut short. Luciola had entered the room.
'Great luciola' Cicada thought, as he immediately stood upright.
Why do I feel like this? I have the strangest feeling… almost If I know something's going to happen…
"set Lord Dio free…" Luciola commanded to Delphine. Cicada felt disgust. He would never let any common thilth such as Luciola speak to The Maestro in this way. But to Cicada, Delphine wasn't just the Maestro. Cicada loved Delphine… more than anyone… even more than himself. But still… why did he have this abnormal felling inside him? Nonetheless, he waited for Delphine's answer.
Delphine smiled cruelly. She never really cared for Luciola, not even a little. "if I can hear that from Dio's own lips, I might consider it…" she snickered and waited for Luciola's response. Suddenly, the sound of blades could be heard. Luciola began to run fast, towards Delphine with these blades… could he be trying to kill her! Cicada reacted quickly. "Like hell I'll let you hurt her, you thilth." he said as he gritted his teeth, and charged towards Luciola. "Don't make me do this Luciola! I don't want to have to hurt you!" Cicada said as be began to battle Luciola "Just the same, brother…" Luciola said as he smiled. "but I refuse to let you and the Maestro hurt my charge."
Cicada tried to turn Luciola around to go for his backside, but he dodged his attacks as quick as Cicada could think them up. Suddenly Cicada had made the wrong move. The consequence he made for turning his back was a blade being forced straight into his backside. Cicada stopped for a quick few moments; long enough to endure the pain. His eyes were bloodshot and wide and then became mere slits, as blood spurted out of his mouth as he collapsed to the floor.
Delphine knew it. She had the same feeling too. She knew something was going to happen.
Cicada thought about this sudden curse to his body. He lay there on the floor, unable to move; paralyzed, looking at Delphine. Delphine looked at him, too.
How could I have been so stupid? For all of the mistakes I've made in my life, damn it all. All I care about is you, Delphine. I don't care about myself. I hope you know that I love you…I will always be here for you. I guess it was my time to go right…? All things happen for a reason, and that's what destiny is. Remember… I told you.
He was finally able to finish it.
"I love you…"
Delphine looked directly at cicadas saddened eyes as they slowly shut for one last time. She could feel tears building up in her eyes. She couldn't think at the moment, it was almost as if she had acted involuntarily. She began to applaud.
"Good job Luciola…!"
The voice she was speaking with, it wasn't her own.
Thus she handed Luciola the ring, which desinagrated him into nothing.
Dancing around in the sparkle of Luciola's very soul, that only lasted a few moments, until she noticed Cicada lying on the floor in a puddle of his own blood. She let out the most horrifying, high pitch scream anyone could ever imagine. She ran over towards him tripping as she did so, landing in the puddle of his crimson blood. All she wanted to do now was cry. She looked at cicada, his eyes were shut. She shook him in hope that he would respond.
Im here cicada! Cicada! CICADA!
don't leave me!
don't leave me!
Silence.
She was sobbing into Cicada's chest, beating her fist off the floor.
So she decided then, that they would both sleep there… on the cement floor.
But then she remembered what Cicada had said the day before.
"wouldn't you rather sleep in a nice warm bed, than here, on a hard cold floor?"
Delphine smiled. She carried Cicada to her private chambers. And lied Cicada onto the bed. she didn't care that her pure silkworm sheets were covered in his blood. She slept in his arms, just like the night before.
"goodnight cicada…"
Only this time, he wouldn't wake up in the morning to kiss her on the cheek.
