Chapter 19
X-X-X-X
"The beginning in the end?" I questioned with a frown.
"It's something you often said as we worked. A new beginning for our end. You wanted to so badly change what happened to us...to Yuu-chan...to your friends..." Mikaela said staring down at me.
"I have a question! Why aren't you talking about the thing we got locked up back there?" Seiren asked pointing a thumb behind him.
"You-I told you to keep your mouth shut about that!" Mikaela hissed at him.
"...You're still keeping secrets from me. Seiren, take me there." I said walking towards the boy.
"Okay!"
"Kanon-chan, yo-"
"I told you to tell me everything from the beginning! Don't you dare try to hold anything back."
"...Fine. I'll take the lead then."
Mikaela walked past me and I wondered how much information he would have ended up keeping from me...I'm thankful Seiren is here and that he likes seeing us argue. Mikaela stopped in front of a huge door and he looked back at me. I could see something dark in his eyes...as if he really didn't want to show me. The moment he opened his doors, my eyes focused on the figure in the middle of the room bound by chains with dozens of swords sticking out of their body. The six large wings on its back was also wrapped in chains and I could see that this...thing lost quite a few feathers in some kind of struggle.
"We had a hard time locking him up. This...angel." Seiren said shooting it a nasty look.
"An angel?" I asked flickering my gaze to the angel then to the demon.
"Wake up. Seventh Trumpet, God's Voice." Mikaela said unsheathing the sword at his side.
"..." The figure slowly opened his eyes and he stared at Mikaela blankly before his gaze fell upon me. "We meet at last..."
"God's Voice...?"
"If you gain his power then you would end up gaining the ability to heal...or put an end to any humans within range."
"Use me, Hyakuya Kanon. Then we will be able to punish all sinners."
"Was he the reason why Yuu-kun almost killed me?"
"He sensed the Seventh Trumpet within you. He most likely believed that if he killed you that he would awaken...or that is how it should have gone if we didn't do this."
"We had a hard time keeping him contained! If we weren't already dead then we would have died a long time ago!"
"Demon, if you corrupt my vessel any further then I shall make your end incredibly painful."
"I've seen enough."
"Fine then." Mikaela grabbed my shoulder and steered me out. "It's dangerous staying here too long anyways."
"Stop! You cannot continue to let the sinners live! We must kill them all and announce God's judgment!"
I ignored the angel screaming behind me and I could see he was struggling to get free. Mikaela shot him a look before shutting the door behind him. We returned to our location from before and I realized why Mikaela was keeping so much from me...did I...was it my fault? Is that why Mikaela is constantly trying to stop me?
"Don't think about it too much, Kanon-chan. You're alive now and so are they." Mikaela said ruffling my hair.
"Beginning of the end, explain." I said pushing his hand away.
"...In the future, we lost him."
"Him...Yuu-kun?"
"Due to anger...pain...you turned to the angels to punish every being on earth. You didn't realize that those you consider your family would have been caught in the crossfire. When your consciousness returned...only you and I were left in Japan as it was where it originated from. Some humans and vampires survived, but we weren't sure how many."
"...So we spent three hundred years researching a way to go back in time...? How could I have lived that long?"
"Your body changed, but...it wasn't that of a human, angel, demon, or vampire. You didn't age, you didn't require food...sleep...You were similar to a vampire, but you didn't require blood to live."
"...It failed. You got trapped in my head and I don't see your bodies anywhere."
"No, it'd be impossible to actually send our bodies back in time. It doesn't matter how much our bodies have changed, there cannot be two of the same existence in the same timeline."
"...Why are you in my head than in my Mika-kun's?"
"It'd be dangerous to entrust this kind of knowledge to some brat."
"...You just..."
"The younger me was too naïve. That kind of knowledge shouldn't be given to him...not to mention he trusts Krul too much."
"..."
"Also...if I wasn't here then you would have done too many reckless things. If you realized what you had done..."
"I would have probably killed myself or let myself be killed, is that right?"
"Yes."
"So then, all we have to do is ensure that our precious idiot doesn't die."
"He's too reckless."
"That's why I love him." I reached up and I grabbed Mikaela's collar. I pulled him to my level and I kissed his cheek. "Thanks for not holding back."
"...You don't play fair."
"I guess not. It's about time for me to wake up."
"I had Seiren speed up your healing. You can fight again in half a day."
"Got it."
"...I feel like I should say something." I said seeing Yuu and Mika in a rather compromising position.
"K-Kanon!" Yuu shouted noticing I was awake.
"I wonder if I'll get to see Yuu-kun and Mika-kun kiss..." I held a hand to my cheek, a small blush appearing on my face. "That'd be rather cute..." I said thinking about it.
"Don't say something so weird!" Yuu shouted at me.
"How's your injury?" Mika asked walking towards me.
"Better now. Seiren sped up the healing and I'll be ready to fight again in half a day."
"That's good."
"So, what do we do now, Kanon, Mika?"
"First come here."
"Huh?"
Yuu walked towards me and knelt down beside me. I grabbed him by the back of his head and I pressed our lips together. I shoved my tongue in his mouth and I felt him still as his eyes widened. He was unresponsive as my tongue pressed against his, but before he could respond. I had pulled away, a trail of saliva had connected our lips. I rubbed my thumb against his lips and I watched as he became a tomato.
"That is a proper kiss between lovers. Also, your punishment for kissing me before doing so stupid as almost dying. There is also this." I head butted him and I released him, letting him fall onto his back. "That was for being an asshole for almost dying." I said rubbing my aching forehead.
"That hurts...!" Yuu hissed holding his forehead.
"We have to go now, Kanon-chan." Mika said standing up.
"I need to change first." I tugged at the top half of my dress. "These clothing aren't suited for fighting in and I need some proper shoes."
"I'll go find something then. You and Yuu-chan wait here."
"Alright." I watched Mika leave and I stared at Yuu. I have to tell him after all. "I'm the reason why Mika-kun became a complete vampire."
"I know. He told me."
"Did he tell you I had to kiss him to make him drink my blood?"
"Wha-"
"We also kissed quite a few times after as well."
"You two..."
"Are you angry at me?"
"Angry doesn't exactly describe what I feel right now."
"Do you hate me?"
"I...Why the heck would I hate you?"
"I cheated on you."
"The first kiss was to get him to drink. He's stubborn in that way. Did you kiss him after that?"
"Immediately after...Well, it was hard getting him to release me. After that day, aside from kisses on the cheeks and his way of taking blood then it is no."
"...Did you enjoy it?"
"Want to find out?"
"Ah?"
"I'll ask Mika-kun to kiss you like he did me."
"Wh-What?!"
"I'm back." Mika took note that I was practically cornering my lover. "What did I miss...or would you two rather have some time alone?"
"Nothing and no. Clothing please!"
"Here."
Mika handed me the clothing and I walked towards the counter to change. Which was three shelves over and out of sight from my friends. I hummed a random tune as I unbuttoned my clothing and I let it fall to my ankles. I pulled on the t-shirt first before pulling over a simple white wool sweater. I shifted my gaze from the pants to the skirt Mika picked out. I tossed the skirt and I pulled the pants on, making sure to adjust the belt so it wasn't too tight. I dusted off the counter a bit before taking a seat to put on the boots Mika brought for me.
"This isn't half bad." I began walking back to Mika and Yuu...only to stop within feet of them when I caught sight of my hair. "I am so going to kill whoever cut my hair! I finally grew it back out!" I cried seeing how uneven it looked.
"It's not that bad." I shot Yuu a glare. "Okay, it's uneven." Yuu said holding his hands up.
"You cut your hair?" Mika asked with a raised brow.
"No choice. Seiren, want to try your hand at haircuts?" I asked my demon.
Too easy!
"You trust a demon more with your hair than us?" Yuu asked clearly offended.
"You have no experience cutting hair. Last time I let you cut my bangs, I had to wear a headband to keep my bangs out of my face since it was embarrassing having such unevenly cut hair."
"Hey!"
"Seiren, I want it cut straight. You cut it unevenly and I will cut your hair unevenly. If not that, I'm dumping you in the acid ocean."
So mean! I can cut it just fine!
"Ah, wa-!" The knife end swung around me quickly and more strands of pink fell. I quickly looked at a mirror and I saw it was now even and looked completely natural! Thankfully, it's still long as it reaches halfway to my elbows instead of elbow length. "Not bad."
I can do a lot more than cut hair, my cute friend!
"Are we ready to go?"
"Yeah, we have to get far away from the humans and vampires as possible. We have to avoid the cities..."
"A remote location...However they can find us easier if we're between cities...the ocean?"
"That sounds like a plan."
"Wait a second! You two, do you seriously intend on abandoning Shinoa and the others?! Kanon, they're family!"
"They didn't do anything to warrant being traitors. They're safer with the army than with us."
"Kanon-chan is right. Just going after them would result in them being forced to choose between us and the army."
"But still...!"
"Haahh..." I held my head and I rubbed at my temple. "Okay, fine. Give me a second to think..."
Mika-kun...events, now.
When we go to the airport, the humans will sacrifice their own soldiers. Unwillingly of course. The Fifth Trumpet will appear. Yuu-chan will fight Guren and will end up awakening the Second Trumpet. He'll become a demon.
...Can I change these events?
The safest thing to do is to retrieve Shinoa and the others. Yuu-chan...I'm unsure what we should do concerning him. He won't die, but he'll become a demon.
Does the demon have anything to do with Yuu-kun dying?
...
I see...okay, thank you.
"Mika-kun, we're going to Nagoya airport." Mika opened his mouth to say something, but I simply shook my head to stop him. "We can't defend Yuu-kun on our own and...we can't stop him on our own either if he were to active the Seraph of the End."
"I can protect him! I'll protect both of you, Kanon-chan!"
"...Seventh Trumpet, God's Voice."
"Seventh Trumpet?"
"Kanon-chan, how do you..."
...Tell them what you want about it, but do not tell them about the future or me.
"It was going to awaken when Yuu-kun..." I hesitantly reached up, touching my neck. Yuu instantly understood and Mika began frowning. "...Seiren managed to keep it chained up." With help. "I saw it...the angel within my body."
"What is the Seraph of the End? Mika, Kanon...Hey..."
"When were you going to tell me?"
"I'm telling you now. If what happened...happens again...Seiren may not be able to hold him back...You won't just have one...You'll have two. The Seventh Trumpet can save lives or...end it. It's too dangerous of a power to let out."
"Fine, but only this one time. If anything goes wrong, we leave. We only go to save them, but if they don't want to come with us then we leave. Got it?"
"Deal!"
"Thank you, Mika-kun."
"You two owe me big time for this."
"What do you want? You want Yuu-kun's first? I have no problems with that...so long as I get to join in."
"My first?"
"Fir-" Mika gained a rather nice blush. "We don't have time for jokes like this!"
"Who said it's a joke, I'm seriously offering it to you."
"What are you two talking about?"
"Kanon-chan..."
"Nothing at all, Yuu-kun." I kissed his cheek and I walked past him and out the door. "Come on, boys. I'm hotwiring a car."
"Can I drive?"
"No."
"Not happening."
"Why the hell not?!"
I tried not to laugh as my two best friends...and two most precious loved ones followed behind me. I began humming a random song as I headed for the best place to get a car. An underground parking lot is a good start. If one car doesn't work properly, just find another car until we get one that works.

Chapter 19 Ends
Yup, Beginning of the End is where Future Kanon wanted to recreate a new beginning for an end, to change the past so that the end that had occur should never happen. Future Mika isn't willing to stray too much from the future, but he realized that nothing will change if you don't change other events. There are some points that shouldn't be changed, but other points can be changed. Kanon is also willing to do whatever it takes and change the events to come so long as those she holds dear is alive and safe. Ah, Kanon also loves to tease both Mika and Yuu when she gets the chance due to the fact they turn such a cute red and it's always amusing to see how they react to what she says. Well, that's it for today! Until next time my dears! Bye-bye~!
