Chapter 18

200 Years Later…

She skipped along the small red pathway in Britain, laughing happily with her friends and holding onto a small black bag full of books. Her long dark locks are braided on both sides, and it bounces as she skipped on the road.

"Ne, ne," she said to her friends. "There's a new café there downtown. It's called, October Café. Ne? It's so cute! Let's go there and try their food!"

Her friends laughed at her happy demeanor, and follow her to the small alleyway that leads to the unexpected clearing. There, at the corner of the small shop, is the small wooden plate with the name 'October Café' on it.

"It's so homey!" her friends gushed, and Laia laughs happily. They went into the shop and the shop's bells jingles merrily.

"Welcome," a handsome man with a bandanna and shocking red hair turns around to greet them with a wide smile. One of his eyes is covered in an eyepatch, and the rest of the girls gushed happily at the sight of the handsome man. "Table for 3 I presume?"

"Yes~" her friends gushed, and the man leads them to their table in front of the bar.

"Miss Lara here has already called in to make a reservation in front of the bars for 3 seats. My name is Lavi Bookman. Please call me if there is anything you need later. I shall leave you all to decide which drinks and food you want to order. I'll be back in a minute!" Lavi said to them, and went away to chat with another girl with long dark greenish hair in two high ponytails.

"He's so cute!" her friends gushes, and they giggles as they look onto the little menu set out for them on the bar table.

"I saw this online. This shop had a very interesting story about how they got their name. It says that once upon a time, there is a beautiful powerful lady who dies on October, and in memory of her, they made this café," Lara said to them, smiling widely at her friends. She felt so happy for being able to come to this beautiful little café.

There are not many customers around when they enters the café. But when they sat down, customers started to flood in. It would seem that they are lucky beings that would bring customers into any shop they went in. Usually with Lara in them.

"Ne, ne, Lara-san," one of her friends called. Her name is Michelle. "That Lavi-san is looking at you!"

When Lara looks on to the other side, Lavi quickly looks on another side and chatted with the girl with the greenish ponytail. The girl looks at Lara as well, and she smiles at her.

"Hello," the girl came up to them. "I am Lenalee Lee. We would like to sponsor you for a cup of Green Tea Latte. Perhaps you would like to take a picture of yourself posing for the drink? There would be a prize for the best Fresh Face Tea Lovers contest…"

"Oh, that would be awesome!" Lara said to her, and quickly filled up the form that Lenalee had gave out to her. "Oh, and can my friends join as well?"

"I am sorry," Lenalee said to her with a forlorn expression. "The contestant is already full. You are the last one to be joining us…"

"Oh, I see…" Lara said to her, sad that her friends couldn't join.

It was then Lara saw a sign that says 'Barista. Young and enthusiastic. If you are interested, please call xxx-xxxxxxx'.

"Does this position still open?" Lara asks Lenalee, and she smiles widely.

"Yes! Would you like to apply for the position? Up till now nobody is willing, because my brother is quite the tough guy around here…"

"Sure! I'd love to be a barista. Although I can only come after my school hours… I see that this shop opens until 1 a.m?"

"Yes. We have lots of customers late at night who loves to come for the cakes my fiancé, Allen, makes. Everyone likes what he makes, and he is usually stuck in the kitchen for the whole day making cakes and pastries and buns!" Lenalee said to her, and smiles widely before she went away.

"Hello!" a bright and happy man with purple long curly hair and spectacles said to them. "I am Komui, and I am your barista today! What would you like to drink!?"

"Mocha Latte, Macchiato and Green Tea Latte please," Lara said to him.

"Alrighty then! Be right up soon!" Komui said, whipping ingredients into the blender machine. Soon, their drinks are served up.

After they are finish with their drinks and food, the three of them bids everyone goodbye. Lara skipped to the entrance, and without a thought, she bumped into someone.

"Ouch! Oh, I'm so sorry…" Lara said to the man she had accidentally bumped into.

She looks up, and found that her friends are gasping in delight. The man is gorgeously handsome, with long dark blue hair and dark pair of smoldering eyes. He looks like an Asian man, and he looks devastatingly handsome.

"Kyaaaaa!" her friends gushed, and Lara stares on ahead, finding the man strangely familiar…

"You…" she started, trying to remember his name. It was on the edge of her tongue, and she couldn't say it out loud. She didn't know his name, and yet she knew it somehow. She knew this man. She knew him.

But she has never seen him in her entire life. So how did she know him?

"Sorry," the man said curtly, pulling her up from the ground. He puts in too much strength in pulling her, and in the end, she collided with his chest.

"Are you alright?" the man said to her gently, bending down to check if she has gotten any scratch. Lara stutters a reply back out and said to him.

"I- I'm fine… thanks…" she said to him, and blushes deeply in embarrassment.

"Kanda-kun," Komui called from behind the bars. "Be careful of the girls. They are my sweethearts!"

"Shut your mouth, you stupid thing…" Kanda angrily retorted.

"Oh, I'm so scared. Kanda-kun, don't scream at me…" Komui replies back mockingly, and the girls laugh out loud.

"So, your name is Kanda?" Lara said to him, smiling at him widely.

Kanda, upon seeing her smile, smiles up a little at her. Lara's friends saw that and gush out in total cuteness overload.

"Yes. I'm Kanda Yuu. And I am the head barista here."

"Kanda Yuu…" Lara said, repeating his name in her mouth. "Kanda Yuu… Kanda… Yuu-kun…"

"Lara-san," her friends called. "Do you know him?"

Lara stares at Kanda. Flashes of memories not belonging to her came into her mind. The shower of golden light after the heart like thing floating in the air burst into a thousand pieces… Kanda, the man standing in front of her, dressed in a black outfit with a silver star on his chest… Kanda, smiling at her and holding her in his arms as he dance across the dance floor with her in his arms… Kanda, who stood in front of her, ready to kiss her lips with his…Kanda, kissing her softly on her lips, then pushes his tongue into her open mouth and ravages her mouth with his tongue… Kanda, who crouches above her, moves his hips in and out of her open thigh, with blood dripping off the table as they makes love for the first time…

Then comes Laia… the Heart Apostle General…

She is the sister of the 14th. She is also the one and only human to have lived past 7000 years concealed behind a sealed tree with her Innocence embedded as the seal surrounding the tree. She is saved by one of the Noahs, and she is protected by her Innocence. Soon, she wields two Innocences, and the Innocence saves her many a times, embedding deep into her blood. And as she dies, the Innocence burst into a thousand pieces of golden light, which showers upon the Exorcists, making them immortals who are able to live a thousand years again and again in a single lifetime.

She stares up at Kanda, and he looks back down at her. She remembers their kiss, she remembers their moments, and she remembers how she used to rummage through his bag for food, and she knew he is jealous whenever Daisya is close to her or playing with her. She knew everything, but she chooses to ignore most things as Kanda is not the kind of person to be jealous over something for nothing. He likes her, and she patiently waits for him to make his move.

Then there is the Black Order. Madarao has died from the Noah's invasions, and from there, she is alone in the world again. Until Kanda Yuu once more enters his life, and stole her virginity. She remembers how tightly he held her as he fucks her doggy styled, and turns her over again and makes love with her, his penis deeply penetrating her vagina and she screams as she comes again and again, with him spilling his seed inside her.

"Yuu…" Lara repeated his name on his lips, and Kanda dropped everything he held in his hands and holds her shoulders tightly.

"You remembered?" Kanda said, anxious to know the truth from her lips. She stares on ahead at him, and slowly, she reaches for his face with one of her hands, gently touching his face and brushes off his bangs softly.

"Yuu… I remembered… I am the Heart Apostle General… I've died in the war…" Lara said to him, a tear sliding out of her eyes.

Kanda pulls her into his embrace and hugged her tightly. It was then the story ends, with Lara, who has born into the world into the exact same Laia Elfreya years and years ago. She is a new person now, with Laia's memories deeply embedded into her mind. She remembers everything, including Kanda Yuu, the man she has loved for so long and so long ago. Both of them found each other after 200 years, and the rest of the Exorcists came out to see the couple rekindled their old flames.

Lara, the girl who looks exactly like Laia Elfreya, becomes a new person to love Kanda Yuu once more in the new era. Now, they hugged each other, determined to never leave the other behind ever again.

The End
