Ost: FF13-2 - Fading Miracle

 *Life doesn't last forever.*

In the Express, Ai was drinking Himeko;s homemade tea that was given to her. Ai felt bliss by her master's tea, Himeko was enjoying a lovely time with her servant. *So, Ai.* Ai looked at her master. *Could you tell how you met your Apprentice?* Ai raised her eyebrow. *Why is that Milady?* Ai sigh, Himeko held her hand. *Ai, please tell me about her along with your past.* Himeko said. Ai looked down at her tea as she sigh in defeat. *Alright... I'll  tell you about her.*

Ever since Satsuki;s death, I complete lost myself losing my own apprentice. She was a sister to me, she taught me so much about life. Satsuki was so careless after her death. she saved us all, she made her one last wish. *Please take care of my ----- ------ for me... Ai-san.* those are her last words. Kazu, my husband who always by my side comforting me. funny isn't it? Right Suki? your life doesn't last forever after your husband was crying for you to come back *home*.

When I became older, I've become a research and professor of the Church. I was walking down with the team as for Father Michael as well. *Ai, have you met the new commoners yet?* the father looked with gentle eyes. *I suppose you mean *Elysian;s* right?* Michael nodded as the team escorted me and father, when I stop my tracks and saw the princess who looked a bit like Suki. but why..? Suki;s dead and now she's alive!? I was so confused now. *who is she..?* I looked at the girl with nightless long hair. *Ah, her? that's Reivel, Satsuki;s little sister.* what? is this her little sister? out of the blue, it was Suki;s last wish those memory came back to me now after her death.

*Well, she's genius with dual magic.* I looked at her, as she cast a spell. As she destroys the training dummy making everyone looked amazed, I was speechless. *Genius isn't she.* I clench my fist tightly. *I want her...* Michael looked at me in a concern look. *She'll become my Apprentice.*

In the room, I have an awkward moment with the princess. I made tea for us to drink, I took a sip while she was holding her tea elegantly saying none of the less here. oh for god sake. *So... your the youngest princess of the *Royal* Family right?* I said to the princess as she puts the tea down on the table and looked down at me with such hate. *Yeah. so...* she mutter, I couldn't handle it seeing her like this. I promise that I could take care of her little sister, like imaging she has cat ears and tail. that's what I thought she's being a sassy little cat!? *Don't give that attitude young lady.* I said furiously, the girl let out a tongue stick out her eye. *Old hag.* I snapped my own eyes out. as I went over to her and hit her on the head making her yelp.

*AH! BITCH WHY YO-* I gave her a cold look. * listen here you damn brat, your sister wish is to take care of you. don't you know how hard it is for you to live like this in your whole entire life!?* I yelled at her, making her kept her mouth shut. hmph serves you right. that day, Kazu and I are talking during the meeting where are the reports are, when someone knocked the door and I saw the princess who came quietly. *Ai, is that her.* my husband said to me as I nod quietly, as Kazu gets close to her, checking her out making his eyes widen. *Wait... are you...* the princess looked down silently, Kazu closed his eyes. *I see...* Kazu pats her head gently. *Ai, I'm gonna go to do some quests with the new commoners.* I smiled at my husband, as he kissed me on the lips as I return the favor. He waves and left the room. now it's just the two of us alone. *so Reivel.* *Rei.* eh? she looked up at me with those mixed color eyes. *Rei, that's my name and I'm sorry for calling you an *Old Hag* Professor Ai.*

I couldn't but smiled at her. *No need to apologize.*

Our bond as Professor and Apprentice have become stronger, Rei and I have been a great team in the Research team. Raynea was a newbie who decides to join us. Few years past by, I felt ashamed of myself. I held my husband's dead body in my arms, and I saw Rei killing people while burning in hell, why...? how could anyone did this to her. I don't know what to do... Rei please stop this...? isn't this what your sister wanted!? she wanted you to...! *REI* I called her out as she face towards me with bloodlust in her eyes as I get my  staff as I could react to her but, she stabbed me in the torso. she started to laugh like crazy, tears are coming out from her eyes. it was saying *help me.* my eyes became blurry, I tried to reach mu husband's hand as I closed my eyes until death have came to me.

What... What!?

When a bright light flash through the circle, I blinked several times around the train area. *Ah, you must be...* when I looked at the red-headed beauty with a white dress and a leaf crown on her side, a black coat around her shoulders. *Oh, by any chance you are a servant of mine? I want to know you Caster.* the red-headed said to me with a smile on her face. is this a new path for me? a servant? who vows loyal to their masters? I don't understand afterall. *I'm Himeko, I'm the leader of the Express I hope we could know each other more.* her eyes were filled with life. ha... i... *It would be nice if I know you more Lady Himeko.*

Ai sigh as she smiles. *That's when I met my little apprentice, Master. She is a living thing that could exist, I promise to her older sister that I could take care of her. that's her last wish.* Ai said towards her master.

Himeko smile.
