The Vanguard and The Jewel Knight

The Day I Became God

SETTING: AU

Author's Note: This is very random, set in Aichi's POV. I was also listening to REOL's Kamisama ni Natta Hi which is one of my all time favorite songs, and as I dived in to the English translation of the song, I realized how it somehow fits Aichi and Kourin. So, I thought of creating an AU story oneshot and I hope you guys will like it!

Also, please do note that I am only writing this as a way to battle my writer's block. This is most likely a story with little to no plot, so I can't really explain a lot. ^^;; and this might not really have the same meaning as Kamisama ni Natta Hi so I'm so sorry about that.

The day that I became God,

It was something that I did not expect.

I was just a normal person, not interesting, not someone anyone should be declared as a god.

I have been in doubt ever since I was young, not knowing what to do and always sulk on the corner.

So, it really was surprising that I became God.

The day that I became God,

I helped everyone and those in need.

My friends and I helped each other, we all became closer, friendlier, and happier.

The world was bright, it was filled with hope and happiness.

It was the perfect world.

The day that I became God,

Something terrible had happened.

The woman that I loved dearly was gone.

She disappeared right in front of my eyes; she was surrounded by a light that slowly devoured her. She smiled at me as tears fell down from her eyes, and I could only watch in sadness.

I couldn't do anything to let her stay with me.

She said her last goodbye, and I vowed to search for her, not knowing what else to say.

I sat on my throne, shaking, crying, and wondering what I did wrong.

The day that I became God,

I realized that to be one, a sacrifice must be needed.

I never agreed to any sacrifices, but she did it herself. She said that she wanted to make me a God, since I was the nicest person.

I am not.

I really am not.

Why am I a God?

Why me?

"I want you to be the God of everyone. The God that can help those in need, and I'm sure everyone will be happy." Those are the words that she told me.

"I will be with you always," she said to me.

But she disappeared.

And now, I feel like everything I do is all for nothing.

I had given up hope.

The day that I became God,

I heard a soothing voice ringing through my ears. I looked around to see but there was nothing, but I heard what it said to me.

"We'll meet again."

I know it was her.

I spent most of my time sulking, not knowing what to do.

It wasn't someone like a god to be like this.

But now, I've decided that I should stop being like this. I know that I should continue to do what I was meant to do.

Even if she was gone, I shouldn't give up.

I should be the same person that I was when she was still beside me.

And I must do this because despite everything, I know we will see each other again. And I know that I won't forget her.

The day that I became God,

I know that I must go and search for her.

So I left this place and tried to find her.

During my quest to search for the person I love, I stumbled upon a memory where we used to be together.

I walked along the path of memory, as I continued to look for her.

I wanted to meet her again, so I never stopped looking and searching for her.

The day that I became God,

I found her sitting by a rock near a pond. She was donning a simple white dress, her hair was down unlike the usual.

I was about to reach for her, but she looked back at me and smiled.

"Who are you?" She asked.

My heart sank and shattered in pieces.

I tried to speak but no words came out from my mouth, I stood there shocked.

How will I ever reach her fully again?

And I tried to touch her.

But instead I was pulled away by a forceful wind, I struggled to get back to her. I opened my eyes and found myself so far away from her.

I screamed her name as I cried out.

She was far away from me again.

And I'm stuck in this world full of loneliness, despite the happiness, my own world was cold.

Since the day that I became God,

I loathed myself for being unable to be with her.

I hated that I accepted on becoming one, and not knowing the consequences.

The day I became God was the day I that I hated the most.

-

But then…

The day I became God was only a dream.

I woke up to see myself cradling the sleeping body of the woman that I love.

I stared at her beautiful perfect face as she sleeps on my arm.

I smiled and watched her, I played with her long blonde hair.

She woke up and her gleaming emerald green eyes looked back to my sapphire blue eyes. We smiled at each other and I let out a breath.

I was delighted that it was only a dream, and she's still here with me.
