This is my first MegaMan X fanfic (published, that is). I don't plan on writing any more of this, so, I hope you like it. Tell me what you think! ...Oh, yes, Megaman X and all related characters are owned by Capcom!
Another battle with Sigma, one more long day written into the book of my life. How should I start it out? What will I leave out? What will I include? I ponder on these thoughts as I lay down on the soft grass covered ground. Then it strikes me, why do I keep fighting? It seems all I fight for is a period of peace that is always at risk of being lost. Was I created to suffer for the people I protect? In the end, what's going to happen to me? What's going to happen to the people that I give my life up for?
How many battles have I fought? This feeling can't be right, but it's something I just can't shake. I feel as if there's no point in fighting any more. If peace is only temporary, then why do we fight? Should I stop fighting and let war burn like a fire until it dies away? With every new day is a new person I'm sent out to kill. Some of them are innocent, just been contracted by a virus that's corrupted them. The point is, they all die in the end, even I will.
I cover my face with my hands and try to hide the tears from people that don't even exist. I can't believe it, that I'm breaking down. No one can ever no about the feelings that are going through my head. I don't know if I can take any more pain. And then, I feel reassured.
I can feel her hand on mine. I know it's her hand that's on mine, only a warmth like this can be emanated from her. Her other arm wraps itself around my shoulder and pulls me up. She lets go of my hand and both of my arms go around her waist. I open my mouth to say something but I choke on my words. So, I bury my head in her shirt and she pulls me closer to her. My labored breathing begins to slow down and I feel like everything will be okay.
"Alia, I..." My mind reels as I say these words but it somehow just flows out of my mouth. "I love you, Alia." She kisses my forehead and I hear the words that I need to hear.
"I love you too, X."
There, it was my first shot at a romance kind of story...well, the first shot at one that I'd publish. Heh. I hope you enjoyed it.
