Wish you were here
Chapter 6. I decided to write this fanfiction as much as I can as I've a lot of ideas. In this chapter, Sophia and Kakeru meeting. They visit the Index too.
"Hi there!" Sophia cried out, when she entered in the house followed by Shiori behind her.
Kakeru, seeing the newcomer, raised one eyebrow. He was sitting on the sofa and watched TV. Sophia sat down next to him.
"Hm…Hello?"
"Hello. My name is Sophia Measley, Ursula's mother. Happy to meet you…as I could say…"she added, a bit bored. Shiori sighed. She knew that Sophia hated to introduce herself the first time. Kakeru frowned. "Her mother?"
"Yes, darling. Rather her creator, if you prefer. I'm the one who created Francine body. I suppose she told everything to you, didn't she?"
"Hm. Yes. My name is Kakeru Satsuki. Happy to meet you."
"I already guessed." She turned back toward Shiori. "He's cute."
"Sophia!" Shiori scolded her, blushing a little. Kakeru chuckled, a bit awkward. "Haha. Thanks."
"Shiori, would like to serve me a drink or something, please?" Shiori refused. "I don't prefer."
She didn't want to let her alone with Kakeru. As talkative as Sophia was, she could tell anything. Kakeru sighed. "I will."
He stood up and headed for the kitchen. Shiori glared at Sophia. "What are you planning to do?"
"Just discuss. Come on, Ursula. Have you lost your humor? I could give you some help too."
"I don't need some help."
"Yes, you need. I already made a lot of men mine. If you wish, I will make him yours." Shiori rolled her eyes. "Kakeru is just a friend, Sophia! I don't want to repeat it!"
"Come on, Ursula! Stop to do your tsundere! …It's as we said in Japan? If he was just a friend for you, why did you bring him there?"
"I…" Shiori said nothing, as she didn't know what to say. Sophia nodded. "I guessed."
"But…Kakeru will come back in three days. I promised it to Johanna."
Sophia jumped, angry. "What did you say? THREE DAYS? But it's too short! How will you do?"
"What's happening?" Kakeru asked in joining them, offering a drink to Sophia. She calmed down and sighed. "Nothing, Kakeru." She drank it and put it down. "So. Are you a comrade of Ursula, aren't you?"
"Yes…We…" Kakeru turned back toward Shiori, who went on. "We fought Liselotte together, Sophia."
"Liselotte? Together?..." Sophia smirked. "Kind of romantic, isn't it…?"
"Sophia! We fought her with others friends. All of together…" Shiori explained, looked away from Kakeru.
"Yes, yes…" Sophia sighed, disappointed. "Tell me, Kakeru…Did Ursula already show Index to you?"
"Not yet." Kakeru said, smiling politely. "But it doesn't matter right now. We are tired by the trip and we need to rest."
"Yes, he's right." Shiori agreed but Sophia stood up. "It's not a good idea. Come on! Index is empty for a while. Follow me! We are going together…"
Kakeru and Shiori glanced at each other. Shiori sighed. "Okay, Sophia…Let's go."
"Wonderful!" Sophia said, clapping. Suddenly, the door opened. "Kakeru-kun! I woke up!"
Sophia's smile faded away when she saw Yuka appearing in front of her and kissing Kakeru before Shiori. This latter glanced at her, shrugging. But Sophia didn't abandon and caught Yuka by arm. "Hi! My name is Sophia Measley, Ursula's mother. What's your name, little girl?"
"…Yuka…Minase." Yuka said, a bit scared by her piercing look. Sophia smirked. "I proposed to them to visit Index. Are you going?"
"…Yes. Okay." Yuka agreed and caught Kakeru's arm, making Sophia bored. She muttered to her daughter "How boring…Can I kill her?"
"No, you don't." Shiori warned her with a cold glare. Although Yuka was annoying, she was still a dear friend to her.
"So! Here we go!" Kakeru said, thanking Shiori.
"Here, we have Index official courtyard. A bit little, but very peaceful." Sophia sighed, showing the place to her daughter's friends. Shiori walked next to her, and Yuka and Kakeru walked behind them, holding hands. Sophia stopped.
"Here we have the pool. Very romantic the night…" Sophia smiled to Shiori, who sighed.
"Sophia…"
"Oh! It's very nice! Have you got ideas, Kakeru-kun?" Yuka asked him, blushing. Kakeru nodded calmly. "Shiori, aren't you tired?"
"No, it's right." Shiori sighed, guessing what Sophia planned to do. She wanted to be friend with Yuka to let her alone with Kakeru. She was really childish at times…
"Oh! Look! It's Samson! Samson!" Sophia cried out, heading for a big and giant man not very away from them. He turned back, and Kakeru opened his mouth, surprised. "How…Gula?"
"Hi, Sophia. What are you doing?" Samson asked her, looking a bit aloof toward her, in Kakeru's eyes. Kakeru put an arm before Yuka to protect her. He headed for him. "Gula! What are you doing here? Aren't you dead?"
"Who are you? What are you speaking of?" Samson asked him, surprised. Kakeru goggled. He didn't recognize him!
"Kakeru…" Shiori took his arm and Yuka followed her. "Yuka. Kusakabe was alive, after the battle against Liselotte. With a spell, she revived all of the Black Knights we fought. Before their transformation."
"What? Kusakabe?"
"Misao Kusakabe." Shiori explained. "They came back to Index afterward."
"So, every Black Knights are here?" Yuka asked, scared.
"Yes. Under their human forms." Shiori nodded. Kakeru goggled, very afraid of it. Shiori reassured him. "Apparently, they don't have memories about Red night anymore. According to Sophia. They won't attack us."
Kakeru looked down. "If you said so…"
"Hey guys! Come back there!" Sophia called them. "So, here is my daughter, Ursula and her friends, Kakeru and Yuka."
"Happy to meet you." Samson said, smiling to them. Kakeru was a bit surprised. It was weird to see an old enemy again. Nevertheless, he shook his hand. "Me too."
"So. Ursula, I've an idea. We could dinner, four of us. This evening" Sophia smiled to her. Shiori looked down. "I don't know, Sophia."
Sophia must having an idea in mind. So she couldn't do it. "We're tired."
"Come on, Ursula! Just us. Please."
"And what about me?" Yuka asked, shyly. Sophia smiled to her, a bit hypocritical. "Don't worry. I will give you a dress for tonight."
"Really? Thanks!" Yuka said, happily. Sophia put a hand around Shiori's waist. "So?"
She looked at Kakeru. He didn't want to see his enemy again, but he didn't want to be impolite neither. So he shrugged. "…Okay. If you said we're safe."
"…Okay then." Shiori sighed.
"Wonderful! So let's go!"
