A.N. Yay, my sequel… lol
Welcoming the Light
Chapter 1- Welcome Back
Wake up… that's how I remember it. That's how they woke me before. But not this time. No matter how much it repeats, I don't wake up. I don't want to. I can't live with what I've done. Me. Stupid me. I really am weak, aren't I? Being taken over by Black Ghost like that, or Her father, or whatever the hell he calls himself. It's my fault this happened.
Touma, even Her, all gone. Her being my best friend. The friend I killed in my term of weakness. Why do they still want to resurrect me into the world again? I killed Her! I did! I was weak. Weak, weak, weak. And now She is gone. She, the one who stood up for me even when I was little. The on I found… or was it she found me?
We've been through so much, so why the hell does it have to end this way? Why, why, WHY?! Why must I live with this overpowering guilt? Why must they bring me back? I deserve to die. I deserve to die….
She's gone… I disserve to die.
Cloud…. 0014…. Gone. Gone because of me. Gone because of my weakness and her father's will to make her suffer. Why… why and how could a man like him have been created? Why? Was it all some trick of God? No… God is too great for that. Everything has a purpose. Mother always said so… so did Daddy…
Oh how I miss them….and now I'll never see them. Never. Because they're probably dead. Dead, dead, dead.
Like Cloud.
Like Touma.
Like I should be.
I should die.
They won't let me.
Why? Why do they even care about a wretched thing such as myself? Why?! I killed Her! It's all my fault. All my fault. Please don't bring me back.
Wake up!
I don't want to. Please don't make me wake up. I don't want to wake up… please… just don't make me wake up! Let me die! I shouldn't be the one to survive! Touma should be. And so should Cloud. Why… why won't you stop trying to reawaken me. I don't deserve it…
It's because we care…
Is that it? They care? They care about me? WHY?! I KILLED HER DAMN IT!
I was weak and now she suffers for it. It's not fair, not fair at all. She, cursed because of me, burdened because of me, and now dead by me. Me, me, me. All my fault. They shouldn't give a flying crap about me… they really shouldn't…..
A light.
Don't be afraid. We can cope. I will explain…
Walk towards it and live? Compensate for their deaths? Or die and let their deaths be uncompensated for.
It hits me. I must live. To compensate for their destruction, Mitsuko Akira MUST be alive.

Eyes blink open and stare at the lights raining its luminescent fury down upon her. It stings her eyes, but she lets it. The pain is comforting. So very comforting. Welcome the pain Mitsuko, she thinks. It's going to hurt anyway…
A soft beeping meats her ears. So soft, delicate, and so very vulnerable. She shivers. She remembers hearing that sort of beeping before. Its her heart. Her ugly, murdering heart.
Grief washes over her at those thoughts. Had she really started to hate herself? She groans and turns her head. A doctor in a white lab coat is hunched over a computer screen. He turns and smiles kindly. Words float past her ears, but she can't understand them at all. Then all at once, she hears a voice.
"Welcome back."

A.N. what do ya think?
And yes, Touma ended up being evil. He was a cyborg implanted with memories of the real Touma who Black Ghost murdered. I'll reveal it latter though ^.~
