"Hagi?" Diva asked her mother's Chevalier. Hagi turned his head to her. Ever since Saya's demise he and Solomon had devoted themselves to assisting her daughter, Diva. Diva had ebony hair pulled back into a bun by a dagger-like letter opener. Her bangs were similar to her father's, though styled differently. The world hadn't changed much, only that the sky was bluer and the Earth seemed well.
"Will you tell me more about mother?" Diva asked as she looked at him. Hagi nodded his head. What was there left for him to tell?
"Wait...Tell me about father," Diva said, the sunlight caressed her smooth ashen skin.
"If it is your wish," Hagi said. Diva had never asked about her father before.
How much longer?
Phantom thought, standing before a cocoon. It was still as it glowed red. He traced his claw over it, his arm had been replaced. Its structure was similar to that of a human arm. Except it had brown leathery skin and claw for a hand and had ten times the strength. The cocoon moved, he stepped aside. The beautiful being inside clawing it from the inside-out for liberation.
"Saya..." he whispered as a thin white hand clawed through it. A minute or so later Saya plopped out of the cocoon and onto the ground. Her hair had grown fast and long. It covered her body like an ebony cloak.
Phantom crouched besides the being, caressing her hair with his fingers. She looked up at him and smiled softly like an innocent child. Phantom incised a deep cut into his claw and swilled the blood into his mouth. It would not give Saya her memory back but it would nourish her. He kissed her, forcing the blood into her mouth. Saya drank his blood without dispute and then quickly fell into his arms. She had fainted and was exhausted.
Phantom quickly placed his cape over her bare body; though he had seen everything before. He carried Saya out of the containment room and into his chambers. He placed Saya on the bed and sat beside her. She was smiling in her slumber.
His fingers caressed her neck along the veins. If only he could...But Saya needed her strength. It would take muck effort to get her back to the way he loved her. The machinery was already at hand, seeing that he became the CEO of Corpse Corporations a few years back. His wealth, power, and life returned. Soon, to complete him, his bride would awaken. He has already had her bear his children. He took her hand that night and forced her into his bed.
Saya.
