I am SO sorry I'm late ! I went horse hiking thursday morning and only came back yesterday afternoon and I was so exhausted I went to bed at 5p.m and only woke up this morning ! I did what I could to try and get this uploaded on time but I really couldn't, please forgive me !
I finally see
Neither world cares for me
"I will call Maou-sama then I guess…"
Urushihara reached the building when the sun was almost completely set. He looked up and saw a flash of red on the top. Samael sat there, on the edge, her legs dangling below her.
Without hesitation, he got inside and ran to the top.
"Samael !" he shouted, out of breath, but she didn't even acknowledge his presence. "Sam ?"
He carefully walked to her and slowly sat beside her. She was staring at the sun, eyes empty from all emotions.
"why are you here…" she murmured weakly, "why couldn't you just leave me alone…"
"You really expect me to leave you alone after I found out you were alive ?"
She turned in his direction. He was leaning in slightly, hands resting on the edge of the building.
"i thought i lost you…" she turned back to the sun, carefully avoiding to meet his eyes.
"I know, me too."
"i killed those people, i-"
Her voice died in her throat as the sun disappeared on the other side of the earth, and in the dark of the evening she looked more tired and miserable than anyone he had ever seen.
"I know it hurts, and what you did a week ago is going to follow you for the rest of your life like all the things we did back in Ente Isla will, but you can't just sit there and hope to die. I won't let you." She remained silent. "Sam, look at me."
She stubbornly kept her gaze from meeting his, despite his pleading voice. She lowered her head, hiding her red eyes behind her hair. Urushihara sighed and laid down, hands behind his head.
"You're not selfish, are you ?"
He didn't bother to wait for an answer, knowing he wouldn't get one anyway, and continued his one-sided conversation, eyes fixed on the sky.
"Of course you're not, you're the most selfless person I know. For as long as I can remember, you've always looked out for everyone. Everyone but Him and yourself."
He looked at her from the corner of his eyes. Even if Samael still hadn't moved, he knew his words were reaching her.
"I understand why you wouldn't look out for God, but you ? Why wouldn't you look out for yourself ? I mean, every time something happens, you get hurt, especially if it's something happening to me !"
He jumped on his feet, his emotions slipping out of his control.
" You said it was going to be fine ! You said there was nothing to be worried or scared about ! When you got hurt I didn't know what to do, you wouldn't wake up and-"
He stopped when she turned towards him. His anger vanished when their eyes met, and only sadness remained.
"I thought I'd lost you…" he whispered softly.
Her eyes widened slightly, though he didn't understand why right way. She stood up for the first time in five days and pulled him in a tight hug. It took him a few seconds to understand what was happening.
He was crying.
All the sadness and all the tears he had buried deep within himself when Olba had shown him Samael's body lying in a pool of blood he couldn't keep them in anymore.
"I'm so sorry Lucifer."
This time, her voice was soothing, and as soon as those words left her mouth, he broke down in tears and melted in her embrace.
"I'm sorry I almost died, I'm sorry I went crazy, I'm sorry I ran away, I'm sorry you had to go through this all on your own… It's all my fault and you won't ever know how sorry I am…"
She gently stroked his hair and rested her chin on top of his head. They stayed like this for a few minutes, wordlessly.
"And I think you wet my shirt."
"sorry…"
She heard the smile in his shaky voice and a timid smile found its way on her lips too.
"will you come with me now ?"
"Wherever you want me to."
He slowly pulled back, wiped the tears from his eyes and took a deep breath. Her smile died and she turned towards the rising moon.
"I don't know how long it's going to take for to learn how to live with… all of this."
"I'll show you, it's not much different from during the war. And besides, you fixed it all, so it's okay."
He started walking towards the stairs to go down the building, Samael close behind.
"By the way, when are you gonna be able to go back again ?"
"Weren't you the one who made me promise not to use my power for my personal gain ?"
"I did, I just want to know."
"I went back almost five days on Earth, count at least three years."
"Okay, let's not die until then."
"Fine with me."
They quietly started to go down the stairs. Samael, who didn't seem to suffer from any deficiency due to her lack of everything these past days, froze in front of the door that lead to the outside.
"What about the others ?"
"What about them ?"
"What are they gonna say ?"
"Probably a lot of stuff. But they let me in even though they had to clean up my mess, so I don't think there's gonna be any problems."
With those words, he opened the door and they were met by a worried Maou…
"Are you two okay ?"
…an angry Ashiya…
"What were you think when you left like that Samael ?!"
…an enraged Emi…
"Do you have any idea of the trouble you caused ?!"
…and a sorry Suzuno…
" I sincerely apologise for the mean and inaccurate things I said about you."
Urushihara turned to his sister, a small grin on his lips.
"Well, maybe a few problems. But surely you can deal with it."
"I think I owe them at least an excuse."
"YOU BET YOU DO !" said all of them in perfect synchronisation.
As it turns out, when it'is about lecturing the crap out of someone, humans and demons can actually work together.
