Chapter Fifthteen: Miracle Reunion

Hibiki quickly covered her mouth with his hand, he glanced behind his shoulder and then back at her.

"I know... things don't work out the way they do, don't they?" he whispered. He lowered his hand and turned in the opposite direction, Meia caught glimpse of a long scar that went from the bottom of his ear and into his collar. What could have happened there, but first things first.

"How... how did you survive that? That explosion?" she whispered. Hibiki smiled over his shoulder, might as well spill the beans.

"Well, shortly after I blew a hole in the harvest ship, part of the Vanguard was still intact. Quite remarkably it was the cockpit section of it that was still able to function. I was near death from the impact but some of my old buddies decided to help." he spoke.

"Is that why you're wearing that?" she asked.

"Yeah, they just dropped me off a few minutes ago." he said.

"So, the floor trembling earlier... that was you?" she asked.

"Who else?" he smiled. Meia couldn't help but wrap her arms around him, she wasn't the type to show emotion easily but for this moment she just had to express her joy. Another question popped into her mind.

"Who are your buddies?" she asked. Hibiki scoffed and placed his glasses back on.

"Third Class Citizens of Tarak. It seems that when my journey began they found a way to leave Tarak. They found me and got me through this mess. But there is still a problem..." he said.

Meia listened.

"The Harvest are not done, they're not even through with us. The ones we faced are just the tip of the iceberg. The Nirvana is said to only respond to male navigators, but I'm thinking if Dita and I could control it. We would have a definite chance. By the way, where's Dita? I want to see my kids." he said. Meia told the areas she might be in, Hibiki quickly made a mental note and bolted down the corridor, biding Meia a farewell.

Hibiki reached the end of the hall, he pressed himself to the corner of the hall and peeked around the corner, he immediately ducked out of view as he saw a burgundy haired women walk pass. She didn't notice him, she was too deep in thought. He though he could play a little game with her. As she continued down the hall, he whispered,

"Dita.."

She spun around quickly and observed the hall to find nothing out of the ordinary. Her mind was playing games with her. She continued walking, now this time checking over her shoulder. Hibiki followed her as he traveled through the ventilation shaft, keeping his eye on her every movement. He noticed she was heading toward the hangar, so he scurried with cat like reflexes to the hangar. He entered the observation part of the hangar waited until he spotted Dita enter. Again, he wanted to entice her emotions.

"Dita!"

He quickly hid from view until he knew he had realized he had gone too far, he heard faint sobs. He peered out of his hiding place and noticed Dita was on her knees crying into her hands. This was the time. With skill he traveled quietly down to the sub level, he managed to come behind Dita. He slowly inched toward her, his heart racing uncontrollably, he was surprised she hadn't heard it. He knelt down and placed his lips right next to her ear.

"I missed you..." he whispered, Dita turned around and immediately her eyes glowed. She quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately.

She withdrew and smiled greatly at him, she overflowed with joy as she finally rested her body on his listening to his heartbeat. She was so overjoyed that there was no way she could release all of it in one blow. She just decided to hug him and never let go. But that wasn't clear with Hibiki as he tried to release himself from Dita's unbreakable embrace.

"I missed you, so much... your alive." she said, she sounded like she was about to cry. "You want to see your children?" she asked him. Hibiki pulled a question mark from his head.

"Children?" he said.

Dita who was back to her cheery manner, took Hibiki and dashed out of the hangar and into the long corridors of the Nirvana. Dita took him down to a part of the Nirvana he had never seen before, either that or they went under an extreme make over. She pulled him into a room, Hibiki automatically knew this was a room meant for babies. He could tell that from the bright colors that surrounded him. She halted in front of two baby like beds. Each one holding a baby. Dita reached down for her son and presented him to Hibiki who just stared at him.

"He... he... looks just like me..." he whispered. Dita smiled as she twiddled with the baby's small blade of black hair. Hibiki took his son from Dita and held him tightly. This was his child. His son.

"What's his name?" he asked. Dita looked down and blushed.

"Well I still haven't decided but I was figuring to name him after his daddy." she whispered. Hibiki looked down at his sleeping son and rocked him gently back and forth.

"That's funny, Hibiki Jr." he whispered. Dita turned around and picked up her daughter and held her in her arms.

"This is Anita." she whispered. Hibiki smiled, his daughter resembled so much like Dita.

"This... this is all I wanted." Hibiki smiled. Dita looked at him.

"This is, the next generation. Our children our are place holders. They are our future." he whispered.

Alright, this chapter ends short. But that's because this was only the introduction to the next conflict between Hibiki and the Harvest.
