Chapter 12 - Change

Hi. Sorry for being gone a while.

I've been thinking a lot about this Kurome reformation thing and I'm slowly working it out.

Anyway, imma get started.

Uzume was on her way to do the usual daily routine today. Though she kept in mind what happened yesterday.

She warned Neptune and Histoire about what happened. That Kurome was back... and that she was at Connor's place with the original intent to kill him.

She has never seen Neptune so pissed off in her life and it sort of scared her.

She quickly explained that she just left without doing anything.

What was weirder about yesterday though was that Connor called her and said Kurome was wanting to meet up and talk with her... PEACEFULLY!

That word confused her. Kurome doesn't know the word peace, it's not in her dictionary.
That girl can only and will only kill and destroy until she is somehow satisfied.

So why did Uzume agree to meet her?

The be honest, she knows exactly why.

As much as she doesn't want to admit it, she wants to at least try to help Kurome. She just has this feeling that Kurome, despite being evil, doesn't want to be.

For some reason Uzume has this feeling like she doesn't want to hurt anyone. And if Uzume never did want to, then it could only be her other half. The two are indeed connected still.

Maybe she can help her other half.

What if it isn't as simple as one half is good and the other is evil? What if Kurome can be like Uzume.

"What if instead of her being my evil other half, she can be her own person?" Uzume asked herself out loud.

To any normal person, she sounds crazy. To her, it's a genuine question that she wants to know the answer to.

So she's going to help her. Or at least try. She first has to see if this isn't some trap or anything.

Uzume kept walking until she made it to where she was supposed to go. A small café that Neptune frequents.
Maybe this was Kurome's way of showing this was a peaceful meeting since if anything happens here Neptune will practically teleport here.

Stepping in, she immediately recognised the darker version of herself.

Walking over she stands at the table.

Kurome sits still. She didn't even need to look up to know it was Uzume.

"Hello, Me." Kurome greeted.

"I'm not you." Uzume told her plainly.

"No. You certainly are not. You can sit down if you like." Kurome said gesturing to the seat across from her.

Uzume sat down and looked to her.

"So what do you want? Why did Connor tell me that you wanted to meet me here?" Uzume asked her.

"Simple. I wish to talk." Kurome answered. Then, uncharacteristically, she seemed to look down at the table with a saddened look. "I need to talk with you."

"You don't-"

"I know... I don't have any right to need anything from you. You don't owe me anything... I am aware." She admitted.

To Uzume's surprise, she had a look of regret in her eyes.

"..... What do you want to talk about?" Uzume asked.
