Chapter 26: Love is Strange (2):
Blossom's POV:
We were just staring at each other. "Well," asks Nanami.
"Well, what," I asked.
"Don't play dumb with me," says Nanami, "are you a witch?"
I wasn't sure what to say. "I... of course not," I said, "why would you-"
"I saw you fly on your staff," asks Nanami.
Stupid! "Well... then I couldn't be a witch," I said, "witches use broomsticks!"
"Are you serious," asks Nanami.
I then sighed. "Everything you've read about witches is inaccurate," I said, "yes, I am a witch! I'm from the Demon Netherworld and I came here to get away from the Demon Sorcerers I hate!"
"So, you lied to me," says Nanami.
"Nanami, I..."
"I am a witch hunter," says Nanami, "so you better hope we don't cross paths again." She then ran away, crying.
...
I should've known it wouldn't work! A witch and a witch hunter? It's like Van Helsing becoming pals with Dracula! What am I going to do?
Nanami's POV:
I was lying on my couch. I then made a phone call. "Hi, you've reached the Simon Residence!" I was confused. "If your message is for Mrs. Simon, press one."
"And if it's for me, Mr. Simon, press two."
"And if you're some random girl who only called us because you have the wrong number and are dealing with the fact that your girlfriend lied to you about her species, hang up because we have no idea who you are!"
I then hung up. That was odd. I then tried again. "Hello, Nakamoto Residence!"
"Dad, it's me," I said.
"Nanami, how's Tokyo?"
"Great," I said, "Dad, what if, say, I met a girl..."
"Have you met a girl," asks Dad, "what's her name? She's not liked those losers you dumped, is she?"
"I'm speaking hypothetically," I said.
"Continue," says Dad.
"Well, say I met a girl, and I love her, but she turns out to be a witch..."
"I hope you mean she's really mean," says Dad.
"No, I'm hypothetically talking about a literal witch," I said.
"Well, it's a good thing it's hypothetically, because witches are the enemy! Our family has sworn to hunt them down for generations! Years ago, back in the Edo Period, our ancestor was to be married, but a witch casted a spell to make him love her! When he found out, he broke free and killed the witch, but the woman he loved found out and left him!"
"He did meet someone else, right," I asked.
"Of course, otherwise, we wouldn't be here," says Dad, "but that's not the point! That was when our family's witch hunting legacy!"
"But are all witches... evil," I asked.
"Have you ever heard of a story where witches are the good guys," asks Dad.
"Wizard of Oz has some good witches," I said.
There was a pause. "Fair point," says Dad, "but it also has some bad ones, plus, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, the story of Baba-Yaga, do the math!"
"Okay, I see your point," I said.
"Remember, don't trust witches," says Dad, "anyway, I just got a new job. Witch hunting doesn't put bread on the table. Love you. Bye." He then hung up.
I wasn't sure what to do.
Nanami: I lived my life in shadow
Never the sun on my face
It didn't seem so sad, though
I figured that was my place
Now I'm bathed in light
Something just isn't right
I'm under your spell
How else could it be
Anyone would notice me
It's magic I can tell
How you set me free
Brought me out so easily
I saw a world enchanted
Spirits and charms in the air
I always took for granted
I was the only one there
But your power's shone
Brighter than any I've known
I'm under your spell
Nothing I can do
You just took my soul with you
You worked your charm so well
Finally, I knew
Everything I dreamed was true
You made me believe
The moon to the tide
I can feel you inside
I'm under your spell
Surging like the sea
Pulled to you so helplessly
I break with every swell
Lost in ecstasy
Spread beneath my willow tree
You make me complete
You make me complete
You make me complete!
Blossom's POV:
I was thinking about the first girl I have ever loved. Indigo Ebonywood.
Blossom's POV - Flashback:
"I don't see any titans, Indigo," I said.
"I have a confession," says Indigo, "I lied."
"Really," I asked, "then what is this about?"
"This," says Indigo. She then kissed me passionately on the lips.
Blossom's POV - Present:
I then thought about how she was killed by the Demon Sorcerers. I'm about to lose another one. I can't imagine my life without Nanami! There's only one thing to do.
...
I knocked on Nanami's door and she answered. "Hey," I said.
"Hey," says Nanami, "what do you want?"
"I think it's time you fulfil your family legacy," I said.
"What," asks Nanami.
"I'm giving you a chance to kill me," I said.
"What," Nanami asks again.
"But before you do, know that my feelings for you are real," I said, "I love you, but I am a witch, and you hunt witches. If I can't see you again, then there's no point in living anymore. I know, I sound like a stalker. So, how'bout we do this in your apartment, so no witnesses can see it." I then entered.
...
I was now facing Nanami in her apartment. "Are you sure you want to do this," asks Nanami.
"Yes," I said.
Nanami then grabs a crossbow. It actually looked kind of cool. I'm glad to know something like that's going to end my life. She aimed it at me. I closed my eyes. I was scared, but it has to be done! I waited and nothing happened. I opened my eyes and Nanami started crying. She then drops it, and it fires an arrow, and I heard a cat screaming. "I can't do it," says Nanami. She then runs to me and hugs me. "I don't care if you're a witch or a vampire or even a unicorn!" I was confused. "What? I don't like unicorns. But I love you! I don't care if it's real or if I'm just under a spell! I love you and I don't want anything to happen to you!"
"Nanami!" I then started crying too. We then shared a kiss! This was it! I finally told Nanami who I really am and nothing's going to ruin this for us!
Nanami's Dad's POV:
My name is Hanshiro Nakamoto, and I am a witch hunter! I read about all the weird things that have happened in Tokyo and they have to be because of a witch! I will not rest until I save this city from their evil!
LilyMu:
(Gonard has taken over all of Tokyo)
Gonard: At last, I have won! All of Tokyo shall be mine!
Mikey: It's not over, Gonard, we will stop you some day!
(Team LilyMu then leaves and Gonard laughs)
So, in the next season, Nanami's Dad will be the primary antagonist and most of it will revolve around Blossom and Nanami trying to keep him from finding out she's a witch. Also, the LilyMu parts will involve Gonard ruling Tokyo and Team LilyMu having to save it from him.
