Waiting For You (Guilty Crown) [Final Book of the Secret Garden Trilogy]

Chapter 16: Reincarnation

You were suffering

-Shadou

"Shadou... hello...." I greeted.

"Nee-chan, stop saying that everything is for me! You have been saying that for centuries!" Shadou cried. "How many times do you think I tried to reach out to you? You have been suffering ever since your first body was born! All because you were the first born, they forced you to do everything even though you weren't healthy at all. Your body was weak yet they abused you. I could not stand watching it! You were always pushing yourself beyond your limits!"

"I'm sorry Shadou... But. I have no recollection of this... All I know is, I have reborn many times..."

"Of course you don't... Only I keep the memories. This was supposed to be my last chance. My last chance to destroy the world that has been so hard on you!"

"Don't say that... The world is beautiful. It's not perfect, but it's the world we live in."

"But, it has only caused nee-chan suffering over and over again!" I hugged Shadou and comforted her. "I was always admired in the village for my beautiful appearance, but they threw rocks at you because you looked like a witch with your black hair and eyes. That's why  after you died in that fire, I gave you my body and transferred myself a little deeper into the subconsciousness. I tried over and over again to destroy the world and remake it so that it would make you happy."

"I am happy Shadou, I have always been happy."

"You're lying. How could you be happy after what I have done?"

"That's because I finally get to see you in person Shadou. You've worked hard, haven't you? I'm sorry... You can stop now Shadou..." I patted her head. "We don't belong in the past. It's time to move on to the present. Let's go okay? Reincarnate into new people"

"All right..."

YUU'S POV

I kept shaking her, but she did not wake up. "Come on Ansila, wake up..."

Her eyes opened slowly, but at the same time, her body was slowly becoming encased in crystals.

"No..."

"Don't look so sad Yuu... I'm sorry... I am going to leave you again... But I believe you can find me in the future. You have always been doing just that. I remember everything..."

"What are you talking about?"

"My true memories as Kurisutaru Ansila. That's my real name. You are the reincarnation of that man I fell in love with in my firs life and ever since then you were looking for me. Generation to generation."

"No way... I thought I have been doing this to destroy the world. I have been looking for you?"

"I was always there. There with Shadou. Your true goal was to find someone who used crystals just as well as us as we were the true users of it since the beginning."

"But why must you leave?" The crystals were reaching her face.

"I need to be truly reborn as a new person. This soul has gotten a little tired..."

"But.." the crystals was almost done encasing her.

"You know Yuu... I never replied you did I? About your feelings. I love you. I always did, for centuries." She smiled and kissed me before the crystals encased her completely. and her body shattered into bits.

"See you later Yuu..."
