Hi everyone! twinSlayer back in the house!
Whew, now my dossier's done, I could concentrate back on this beloved beautiful elegant marvelous fanfinction,net~ X3
Thank you for the reviews, Ayumi Snowifillya and realcielshieru, and all the follows and favourites. I aprreciate it. Very much.
Moving on to the next presentation of The's Tale. The Woman!
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. And I had memorized this sentence and can even type this with my eyes closed. -.-
Her eyes glances over the peeking rays of sunlight from the nearby forest. Her thin lips cracks a smile involuntarily. -I wonder how is Hibiki now…-
Kicking away the blank sheets of blanket, she stands beside her bed to stretch out her limbs. Her mouth opens widely, yawning. Later, she walks slowly towards the window and looks outside with a meaningful gaze.
-When will I get back? It's been so long since I've met him.-
"Reika."
She turns to her back.
"Get ready for some light exercise," orders Kyuren. He himself is ready with a plain white shirt and sweatpants. Reika nods. "I'll be ready in a jiffy~", she beams.
She hurries to the toilet and changes into her training outfit. But along the way, no, along her stay at the research center, only God knows how much she missed her husband. Hibiki Laytis.
"Reika, be careful. The baby-"
"-Yeah, yeah, I know," she replies with annoyance. "How many times you need to tell me? Your ringing voice has even intervened my wonderful dreams, you know? And can you see how irritating is that?" She walks out of the bathroom, equipped with her training garments special for pregnant mommies. "Be careful, the baby is still vulnerable. See? I can even imitate your voice!"
Kyuren giggles. Sometimes Reika can babble a lot, just like other typical mothers. "Okay okay, I'm sorry. Now let's go."
Carefully, Reika steps to the field to have her daily morning exercise.
It's been five months since her stay. And it also has been five months since she had seen her beloved face-to-face. Normal pregnant mothers may have had ran away from the place that's been keeping them caged to see their loved ones, but Reika managed to lock her feelings from outbursting uncontrollably. She still had the baby at the very least. To be honest, she even pitied her husband to the fact that he was left all alone out there. Sure, she was worried about him.
At the research center, she and Kraud underwent some experiments to determine their level of contamination. Since most of the readers might be imagining some ridiculous electric shocks or other forbidden chemical engineering, the truth is they just need to be taken some blood samples and other kinds of specimens. The researchers did experiments on the cells, not to the people.
Something about Kraud. Since at the research place, it seems to be more boring than ever (Reika: I can die of boredom here -_-), Kraud decides to make something out of his free time. He ordered some flour, eggs, butter, sugar and yeast from the people who went to buy groceries. Then, the next thing the researchers knew were the scent of freshly baked breads were spreading across their electronics hall. They thought it was strange how he managed to bake it under the moist surrounding, and wonder why the smoke alarm didn't even detect the heat. Kraud WAS a baker before this. And the following days, some of the researchers started to enjoy the presence of breads in the centre.
Dear Hibiki,
My life here is good so far. I've always pondered, how's yours? I hope you'll be able to eat well. I can't deliver my cooking here to you out there. I don't even know if there's a cooking instrument here. All are dull. As dull as yourself before you married me. Ahahah, just kidding. :3
So, how's Ren, Eve and Jenny? And also, Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Erza, Gray and the rest of the Fairy Tail? I'm sure they are fine, right? But I'm most worried about you, dearie.
You still remember the time when you went to this mission of escorting? You nearly winding up dead. Thank goodness you gave me the pendant. I can trace your place like a map and save you from that sadistic dirtbag. Was it your magic or a blessing from God? I couldn't stop thinking about that.
Also, during our stay in this research centre, Kraud and I had made this place as gleefully as we could. All because we hate the uninteresting-ness of it. Sure, who could stand the sight of a plain old grey color of the walls and ceiling? Sometimes I even wonder how these researchers survived this long.
There's this one time…
"Okay everyone! Now cross your left arm to the right~"
"Hai~ (Okay~)"
Reika eyes everyone's movement with boredom. Nonetheless, she follows every single thing they were told.
It started with a simple morning exercise and it turned out to THIS boring. Plus, THEIR OUTFITS ARE ALL THE SAME SHADE OF WHITE! WHAT THE HELL?! IS THIS SOME KIND OF SCHOOL OR WHAT?!
She sighs. Now she misses her life at the outside world. More colors could accessorize her sight at least. With only whites and greys coloring this place, she thought she might experience color blindness days after. Then, when she was busy complaining in her mind, the calming song of exercise stops. She thought the session is finished. But then…
"Okay, I'm sick of this!"
She nods, agreeing with that anonymous. But then, she feels like she know that voice.
-What the-? What is Kraud doing up there?-
"This unexciting routine is killing me, you know! Now, follow my moves! No exceptions! "
He taps on the CD player. The beat is very familiar in everyone's ears.
"Dance! Oppa Gangnam Style!"
Kraud leads them on how to dance the weird moves of Psy. Reika is left stunned. One by one researchers began to enjoy the song and dance on their own. Considering the distance between herself and her best friend, she yells,
"Oy baka! I'm pregnant and you're telling me to hop here and there like a horse?!"
"Then just do the hand gesture!"
"That won't do! It'll look weirder!"
"Stop complaining! Start moving!"
"Over my dead body! And don't you know the meaning of 'embarrassing'?!"
Looks like anymore arguing won't do any good. Reika walks to the side, and watches them happily dancing around. She smiles profoundly without her realizing. Now that's much better. They even seem to be enjoying to their heart's content. When the song is done, they are already sweating abundantly.
"Nu'uh. Not yet. This session isn't over yet, folks!" Kraud plays another song from the same singer. Reika turns to her bestie. "What now…" she mutters.
But then….
"Father mother Gentlemen!" He happily swings his hips to the left and right simultaneously. The crowd follows shortly.
"That dance…That awful dance…." Reika shuts her eyes, burying her face in her palms. The dance is so powerful that it makes her eyes feels like burning.
"I don't know that moron…"
Ugh….I think I'm gonna puke if I continue to write about this. Let's move on, shall we?
Yeah, we did some morning exercise daily. Since that bakayarou took over the role of the lead, he did every strange dance from the' land of nowhere' each morning. Actually, it helped the researchers a lot. In terms of psychology and physical health, yeah. In terms of corruption of their minds, also yeah.
Kyuren also assisted me abundantly. He even told me tirelessly to walk a lot so that the process of delivering the baby would be much easier. But you wanna know something? As I know him more and more, he's like you and Kraud, rolled into one.
As for Kraud…..I don't know what to write about him. His becoming more and more, you can say, insane. But in a good way. Don't misunderstood it. He might kill me if he saw me writing him as a crazy guy. Haha. Still, he IS insane ever since he was born. -.- Naahh, jokes.
"What the hell?! Me? Insane?!"
"What the-" Reika hastily stands up from her chair. "You! That's rude!"
"Well who's more rude I guess? The one who peeked over his friend's letter or the friend who bad-mouthed her friend to her husband?"
"The one who peeked over his friend's letter!", she retorts while pouting her mouth.
"Tch", Kraud shrugs. "This is how you treat your best-friend-slash-rival-for-life?"
"Don't sulk. It makes you look uglier."
"What is it, droplet?"
"You heard me, spiky creature."
"Don't call me as if I'm a thing!"
"Like I'd care!"
"Guys~…", Kyuren comes and calms them both down. "You two seriously need to get along more quietly."
"But he/she started it first!" They point out at each other shamelessly.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. Now Kraud let's go to your room and have your lunch finished. The soup's gonna get cold."
"But I want some bread."
"Says the bread freak", Reika looks away while crossing her arms.
"Okay stop it." Pinching his temple, he strolls to Kraud and pulls his right arm. "Let's go before you two start yelling at each other."
Kraud smiles eloquently and replies, "You know that's how we get along well."
"Yeah", Reika continues, "There are times when you need to comfort your best friend in a weird way. But it shows that only you know how to confront the matter with him or her, even for sensitive issues."
"I just wanna check her out. You know preggers sometimes have strange fetish over foods. If it's that infamous bug-shaped bread, I could bake one for her."
"Oh Kraud, that's so sweet of you~" Reika softens her expression and clasps her hands gleefully; The girly way of praising.
"Don't do that. I'll puke."
Kyuren looks at the both of them. He silently agrees with their point.
"So…..Does one of the sensitive issues includes reading your best friend's letter?" Kyuren asks Reika. Widening her eyes because of the stun, she quickly looks back on her desk. -Where the heck is my….-
Something snaps in her mind, seeing Kraud tip-toeing out of her room.
"KRAAAAUUUUDDD!"
Covering his ears, Kyuren complains. "We really need to insert these two people in a soundproof room."

…
Please ignore those scribbling. Some scene occurred for a while. It's just some chocobo blondie trying to interfere my virtuoso mind from speaking on the letter. Ahaha….Let's just assume that blonde head is jealous I have someone to pour my feelings to.
So I wonder how's Fairy Tail eh? Is Natsu still burning up everything like he used to? And Lucy and Happy as his sidekicks who always failed to stop him from turning stuffs into charcoals? I'm sorry he's such an ass. I hope he'll learn to keep the flammable things inflammable when he's around.
Almost forgot. How about GruVia and JerZa? If you can 'decode' that short name, you really are the Hibiki that I knew. I hope they're doing just~ fine. Oh yeah, same goes to GaLe and other pairings as well.
Oops, Kyuren is calling me and Kraud. Time to go to the cell development room. I hope this small missive can fly to your hands with silver wings unharmed~
Ahhh stop that. It's because of you, I have learnt to write mushy poetries…..It's only you who read this right?
…..
…
Right?
Okay, if there's another person reading, please knock him/her out with your Force Blast until he/she had lost all their memories about this letter. I want to be known as a spoiled brat only to you. XD
With love from us,
Reika Laytis and babies.
Hibiki glances at Eve and Ren from the corner of his eyes. They look at each other warily.
"Guys…You've read until the end right?"
The petite blondie and tanned guy nod nervously. Understanding Hibiki's gaze, their legs start to step away from him.
"FORCE BLAST!"
The end…of this chapter. Yay!
I've got an announcement to make. I might end this story in two-three more chapters. Because to me, a story is interesting only when it began until three to five chapters after the climax. (It's just my survey but I think it's true.) So, I wont be saying farewell for now, coz I'll be doing it soon enough. Just not now. I love you guys too much to bid my farewell early.
Now, for a temporary goodbye. Matta nee~
