Amazons Gaiden 2: The Clash of Dreams and the Promise

Asuka is spending the day in the Yagami household and brought her favorite DVDs of Magical Girl anime.

Kyoya and Asuka were watching it in the living room as they watched it together.

Asuka smiles brightly as they were watching her favorite episode and one of her favorite moments.

"Here I go! Take this, Shining Beam Breaker!" The main character said.

"There it is! That was my favorite part. What did you think about it, Kyo-kun…?" Asuka said as she turned to her friend, and saw that Kyoya was sleeping.

Asuka pouted and then began to shake Kyoya to wake him up.

"Kyo-kun! Wake up!" Asuka shouted and Kyoya woke up as she stopped shaking.

"Oh what? Sorry…" Kyoya said as he rubs the sleep out of his eyes. "What did I miss?"

"Probably the best part of the show." Asuka told him.

"Really? I guess that's a shame then. But truthfully I don't understand the appeal of this anime." Kyoya said as the main character and her friends celebrate their victory against the monster they vanquish.

"How can you say that?" Asuka asked as she was offended to hear that from her friend as she pointed at the anime. "Magical Girls are heroes of justice. They're so cool, they beat up the evil monsters and bring peace to the world and save people from danger. And my dream is to be a magical girl like them one day, a great and cool hero who saves the world and everyone in it."

Kyoya blinks to hear that before he…

"Pfft...Hahaha!" He laughed as he held his stomach.

But as he was laughing and Asuka pouts by that as she glares at him.

"What's so funny?" Asuka asked.

"I-I'm sorry…" Kyoya said as he wiped away a tear on his eye. "But I guess there are times when you really do act like a kid."

"W-What's wrong with that? You're a kid yourself you know!" Asuka said.

"Okay, fair point there. But seriously though," Kyoya said as he stood up and pointed at the anime show on the TV. "In case you've forgotten, this is just an anime show that some manga artist made up that got an adaptation. In other words it's fake and so are the characters and things in it."

"I-I know that! But I still believe that there must be real Magical Girls out there, and I'm going to be one of them." Asuka stated.

"No they don't. Because they're not real and magic doesn't exist." Kyoya told her.

"T-That's not true…" Asuka mutters.

"But it is, take 'fire' for instance. In a primitive culture it was considered magical, but actually it's nothing but burning oxygen that people made with sticks and leaves. And these days we can make fire with gas." Kyoya stated.

"W-Well maybe that's true, but I bet that there's some things that can't be explained by science." Asuka stated.

"Oh really? Then what about the current century that we live in? Do you think magic helped build it? No, humanity created this modern era using nothing but years of research and engineering. Take the Wright Brothers, did magic help them create the world's first airplane? No, they did it by conducting several tests and learning to improve each design." Kyoya told her.

"M-Maybe that's true...but…" Asuka mutters as she grabs her skirt tightly.

"Did Edison create the world's first light bulb with magic? No, he did that by harnessing the power of electricity." Kyoya tells her and Asuka flinches as he goes on.

"Did Newton discover universal gravitation with magic? No, he did that by doing years of research." Kyoya tells her, and Asuka lowers her head. "You see? Almost everything can be explained by science, and it was because of that humanity was able to set foot on the moon, using gas and electricity for modern uses like taking a bath or watching TV, or hell created the magical girl anime that you love so much. Well, magic nowadays is nothing more than…"

"A sham."

"Parlor trick."

"And charade."

Which of those words sent a deep wound in Asuka's heart as she started to shake.

"Asu-chan, I know that our age is tough to understand. But you have to realize that and grow up, and focus on more reali-" Kyoya started before...

Asuka stops him by slapping him on the face which sends him to the floor.

Kyoya sits up as he rubs on his sore cheek.

"Itai…" Kyoya mutters before he looks up at Asuka, and she was crying as tears were running down her eyes.

"Kyo-kun...you baka!" Asuka shouted as she ran out of the house.

Kyoya only watched her leave before he lowered his head in sadness and in shame.

(Next day)

Kyoya and Keiichiro were having dinner together as they were eating.

As they were eating, Keiichiro noticed the annoyed look on Kyoya's face as he was eating.

"Kyoya is something wrong?" Keiichiro asked.

"No. Everything's just fine." Kyoya grumbled as he took a piece of his food with his chopsticks and ate.

"Really? Because I heard that you and Asuka-chan had an argument earlier." Keiichiro said, and Kyoya flinched before he turned his head away from his father's gaze.

"S-So what if we did? It's not like we could change anything." Kyoya said as he ate a piece of his fish.

"That's true, but what I've heard you've really hurt Asuka-chan's feelings. Honestly Kyoya, you shouldn't have made fun of her dreams like that." Keiichiro told him.

"I-I didn't mean to. I only pointed out how impossible it was. I mean being a 'Magical Girl', in the real world that's just impossible and unscientific." Kyoya stated. "Tou-san, as a scientist you have to agree with me."

"And I do, but that doesn't make it right to make fun of her dream like that. I raise you to be better than that." Keiichiro told him, and Kyoya looked down in shame before he ate the rest of the rice in his bowl before he put it down along with the chopsticks.

"Thanks for the food." Kyoya grumbles before he gets off his chair and heads to his room.

"Kyoya, wait…" Keiichiro calls out but is ignored as Kyoya is gone. Keiichiro sighs before he turns to the memorial of his wife and Kyoya's mother which had a picture of her smiling. "I'm just not sure how to handle that boy, Takami."

Keiichiro then looks at the ceiling as he remembers the day she died.

(Flashback)

Keiichiro was seen by Takami's hospital bed as she was on life support and was breathing heavily while Keiichiro was holding her hand.

"Takami...please, just hang on...I'm so close on finishing my cure." Keiichiro pleaded but his wife weakly smiles at him as she weakly tightens her hold on his hand.

"Keiichiro...It's alright...We both know this would happen." Takami told him.

"But…" Keiichiro mutters as he starts to become teary-eyed.

"Keiichiro...promise me...that you'll always...watch over and protect Kyoya…" Takami requested.

Keiichiro's tears fell on his cheeks as he showed her a forced smile.

"I promise...So don't worry, Kyoya will be alright…" Keiichiro promised his wife, and Takami's cries with tears of joy.

"That's good to hear...goodbye my lo…" Takami said as her eyes closed and the heart monitors beep as her heart stops.

Seeing that shock Keiichiro as his eyes widened.

"Takami?" Keiichiro mutters before he screams. "NNNNNOOOO!"

(End of flashback)

Keiichiro's eyes twitch as he remembers that day, and on that day he swore he always supports and protects Kyoya, and to complete his life works to rid the world of disease, so that no one will experience the pain of losing a loved one like he did.

"I swear...It's tough being a widow and a single father." Keiichiro sighs.

Kyoya was lying face first on his bed the moment he entered his room.

Kyoya then turns to his back to look at the ceiling, he then remembers how he made Asuka cry and his father's words still continue to ring in his head.

Kyoya frowns as he turns to his side, but then he sees the DVDs on the desk before he stands up and walks to his desk and picks one of the DVD's up to look at it.

"Oh yeah, she didn't come back for these." Kyoya said as he looked at the cover at the DVD how it features the two characters in it wearing their costumes and wielding their magic wands.

Just looking at the cover, he still finds it silly and ridiculous as best but it was still something that Asuka loved and then he started to wonder if their roles were reverse and if Asuka made fun of his dream of being a scientist and if they had an argument, what would Asuka do to apologize to him.

Kyoya sighs as he knows that answer, and knows what he has to do to make up with her.

(Next day)

In the Otori household, someone rings on the door and Asuka's mother heads to the door to greet them.

"Coming." She said as she opened the door and saw it was Kyoya carrying a backpack on his shoulders. "Oh Kyoya-kun?"

"Hello, Otori-san...Is Asu-chan here? I want to talk to her." Kyoya requested.

She blinks before she sees his backpack, she then smiles as she understands what he's going to do.

"She is, in fact she's in her room. Follow me." She said as she headed to Asuka's room.

"Thank you." Kyoya said as he entered the house and closed the door behind him and took off his shoes.

After their argument, Asuka spent most of her time in her room and lying on her bed with the blanket on top of her body and face.

She then heard a knock on her door which made her lower her blanket below her eyes to look at it.

"Asuka!" Her mother said through the door. "There's someone who wants to see you."

Asuka blinks on what she means by that.

"Asu-chan, it's me." Kyoya said through the door, and Asuka's eyes widened before she covered her face again.

Kyoya was standing on the other side of the door as he felt a little awkward to be here, but he can't afford to turn back after he got this far.

"Listen, I'm here to make amends. So can you please talk to me?" Kyoya requested.

There was silence, and Kyoya was a little worried if she was still mad…

"It's not locked…" Asuka said inside her room. "You can come in."

Kyoya was a little surprised to hear that before her mother pushed on his back to give him a little support. Kyoya turns to her as she gives him a thumbs up.

"Go for it." She told him.

Kyoya turns back to the door before he breaths in and out as he grabs onto the door knob.

"I'm coming in!" Kyoya said as he opened the door and entered the room.

Kyoya then closed the door as he entered the room, and saw Asuka on the bed with her blanket still covering her body and face. Kyoya breaths in and out again and makes a smile on his face.

"Hey, Asu-chan, how are you doing?" Kyoya asked but saw that Asuka was turning away from him.

"Just what do you want?" Asuka asked, and Kyoya could tell that she was still mad.

Kyoya then removes his backpack and opens it and reaches inside of it.

"I'm here to return this." Kyoya told her.

Asuka blinks before she turns back to him and lowers the blanket below her eyes, and sees that Kyoya was holding her DVDs in his hand.

"Y-You forget these." Kyoya mutters.

Asuka then looked at her DVDs before she took them out of his hand and covered herself back under her blanket.

"Thanks...but don't think this changes anything, I'm still mad at you." She told him, and Kyoya flinched to hear that before he sighed.

"That's fine. You have every right to be mad." Kyoya told her, and Asuka blinked before she felt and could tell that Kyoya sits down on her bed beside her. "I'm also here to say that I'm sorry. I'm sorry for making fun of your dream like that."

"R-Really?" Asuka asked, and Kyoya nodded.

"I still think it's a little ridiculous to have a dream like that. But it was still wrong of me to make fun of you like that, so I'm sorry alright." Kyoya told her.

Asuka grumbles before she says.

"Then tell me this…" Kyoya turns to her. "Why do you like science so much?"

Kyoya blinks to hear that before he turns away.

"Because it's simply amazing." Kyoya said and Asuka blinks to hear that. "With science we can create so many amazing things. Like the international space station, a bottle rocket, a radio, a phone, and hell even a paper airplane. I guess the reason I wanted to be a scientist like my dad is to create things that are equally amazing and discover things that no one has ever seen or heard from before."

Asuka frowns.

"I guess that does sound amazing." She said, and Kyoya felt movement before he turned and saw Asuka had removed her blanket as she sat down beside him.

"But still I'm not going to give up on my dream." Asuka said as she turned to them with a determined look in her eyes. "Even if it's impossible, I'm going to be a Magical Girl and prove to you that magic is real and can be just as amazing as science."

Kyoya blinks to hear that before he starts to laugh, and Asuka pouted as he laughed.

"I swear, you really are stubborn." Kyoya stated before he stood up and faced her with a smile on his face. "Alright fine, then I'll become a scientist and prove to you that science is superior to magic in every way."

Asuka smiles before she stands up and faces him.

"Then let's make a promise." Asuka stated, and Kyoya blinks when he hears that.

"A promise?" Kyoya asked.

"Yeah, I promise you that one day I'll become a great Magical Girl of justice who saves everyone!" Asuka told him.

Kyoya blinks before he smiles and places his hand on his chest.

"Alright, then I promise to you that I'll be a great scientist like my dad! I'll use the power of science to help the world and everyone in it!" Kyoya told her before they made another promise to each other.

"And together we'll work together using the powers of both science and magic to save the world!" They both said at the same time and were surprised by that before they started to chuckle.

There you have it, I hope that you like it. Please review to tell me what you think.
