Love Far Beyond the Ashes

Intervention

Lui pov: "Uh, Lui, I may have messed up." Koyori said

"What did you do?" I asked

"Well, I may have lost contact with Mumei-senpai; we can't call her, and we can't open a wormhole there anymore." Koyori stated

I sighed in response, annoyed by this, but there was nothing I could do about it.

"Luiiiiiiiiii!" Laplus called out

"Jeez, is that woman in love with you or something?" Koyori said while plugging her ears.

"Don't say a bunch of hearsay," Iroha sighed as she noticed Chloe begin to pout.

"What do you want?" I responded back, not hiding my anger.

"I'm still stuck in the ground!" She yelled

"Ughh... fine Koyori, Iroha, Chloe, your with me," I said.

"Why was I last?" Chloe asked

"Not now, Sakamata...." I hissed. I saw her go stiff and really felt bad, so I walked to her and kissed her lips. "Sorry, Chloe," I whispered in her ear.

"Koyori, I want to act like that!" Iroha said

"I don't think I'm ready for that, not that we're dating!" She said

"Deny it all you want, but you won't change that!" I said while walking down the hall.

I came across Laplus and sighed. At her she always managed to sunrise me I grabbed one of her legs "Chloe get the other..." I said

"No, I don't want that damn Sakamata to touch me!" She hissed

"Fine Koyori, help pull!" I said

She grabbed the other side, and she helped me yank her out of the ground.

"Thank you, Lui-nee!" She said it happily while blushing.

"What is wrong with you?" I asked

"Huh?" Laplus stated

"Why the hell are you doing stupid things!?" I asked

"Well, because I want you to look at me and not the dumb intern," she said.

"Laplus, you need to stop acting like a leader, I need a break.." I said.

"What!?" She asked

"We need to focus our efforts on something; I want to help my sisters; I can't keep helping you; I can't just keep you on a leash!" I sighed

"Why are you saying this stuff?" Laplus asked

"Look, I love you dearly. You are all like my family, but I have other family. I can't just spend my whole life with you. I already spent most of it with you. Just let me go." I said

"Yeah, Lui is right, we can't always be here for you to help you like today, so please just stop thinking and refocus our efforts, I hearsay," Iroha said.

"Scientist, back me up!" Laplus yelled

"Look, to be honest, I plan on destroying Holox." Koyori said

"So you are a traitor!" Laplus stated

"No. I just want to break everything you have built because I don't agree with the direction we've gone in," Koyori said.

"Is no one on my side!?" Laplus said

"No..." Chloe said

"I don't care about your input, intern!" Laplus screamed

"This is why no one is on your side. You have been nothing but an asshole to me for my whole life. I'm the shutout. You don't acknowledge me, and when you do, you act like I'm the most useless person on the damn planet!" Chloe yelled

"Sakamata—I'm sorry." Laplus said as she looked down at the ground.

"Why do you act like this? It makes me want to leave every day. The only reason I don't leave this group and family is because Lui is here; without her, I would be your enemy." Chole said

"It's not that I don't care or think you're useless; I'm sorry." Laplus said

"Then what is it?" I asked

"The problem is that I'm weak compared to everyone else, and yet I'm supposed to be the fearless leader, so I project my weakness onto you all." Laplus said

"So you act like you are the big shot, as if you are the strongest," I said.

"That is correct." "I don't want to be annoying or hate any of you. Laplus said

"Then you need to be nice to us all," Koyori said.

"It's not that easy." "I've been mean to everyone besides Lui for so long. She said

"Well, you aren't that mean to Iroha and me," Koyori said.

"Yup, you are just mean to Sakamata!" Iroha said

"Well, how do I change this!?" Laplus asked

"Just start by apologizing to her," I said.

"But she is smelly, and she stole the woman I like!" She shouted

"Yes, we get it. You love Lui. Just get on with the apology!" Chloe said

I have never seen her so determined. I guess now that we have heard how Laplus really feels, we can get her to apologize, and we can change. Maybe after we get her on board, we can focus our efforts on helping Mumei-senpai and the other senpai.

"S—Sakamata I am sorry...." She said it while gagging as the words exited her mouth.

"Stop sounding like you are throwing up...." Iroha said

"I'm sorry, Iroha...." Laplus said

"Oh, so you can say sorry to her!" Chloe hissed

"You keep getting mad at me, damn it!" Laplus said

"We are only getting mad because you won't apologize to Chloe properly," I said.

Laplus looked at me and nodded. "I will apologize for you," she said, looking at Chloe deeply in her eyes.

"Sakamata—I'm sorry!" She said it so quickly that you could miss it.

"We'll take it!" She said

"Yes, now can you help us do something, leader?" I asked

"What?" she asked.

"We need to find my sister," I said.

"Oh okay!" Laplus said her mood immediately changed.

I looked at her and sighed. With her enthusiasm, knowing it was for me, she was so happy and wanted to help.

"Alright, let's go...." I said, turning my back to her and smiling, that this was what I had always wanted for so long.

I really missed this since Laplus had changed a while ago for some reason.

Once again, one last time, I want us to be a family again.
