XXIII: Promise

A/N: Sorry ahhh! I've been sick and busy these past few days!

"No matter what happens, you'll always protect me won't you?"

"Of course, I will." I smiled at her.

"Promise?"

"Yes, I promise." I stuck out a pinky.

She linked my pinky with mine and then we started to chant.

"Finger cut-off, ten thousand fist-punchings, whoever lies has to swallow thousand needles."

We chanted and then smiled at each other. The memory cuts off not after we gazed at the sky and I had my arms around her shoulder and pulled her close to me. Then, it cuts off.

Now, I look at her, the being with hee eyes, looking at me with pure disgust and hatred. Her eyes were filled with so much hatred that it makes me want to break. I want her back. Do I have enough will to take her back?

If that promise still stands then I'll fight.

Historia's P.O.V

We have broken through the barrier that surrounds the place and we begin our counterattack. Luka and Kaito are doing well holding against their attack. I found Luka quite scary. She had this sadistic look on her face as she swung her staff around attacking everyone, not caring if they're friend or foe. Occasionally, Kaito has to remind her to stop doing it. She listens however, does it again and again. I sighed.

My team returned back to report to me.

"Historia-sama, we can lunge in anytime."

"Not so fast, let's wait until Ares appears. We're talking of someone who used to be the leader of The Order Of Justice. He won't be brought down so easily."

They nodded. We watched the battle continue to unfold.

"Mummy, look at what I drew!" A small girl came to me and then she proudly held up her paper.

"Ohh, this is nice!" I complimented, really amazed by it.

It was a picture of Hatsune Miku singing on the stage beautifully. The stage was designed creatively with lights around. Patterns of butterflies and a mic. The audience were sitting down, flashing their light sticks.

"Mummy, I had a dream."

"Hmm?"

"A dream about someone speaking to me to 'Wake up.'"

"Wha-"

"I'm not sure what was i-, Mummy, what's wrong?" She looked at me, worried.

"I-It's nothing dear. No matter what, Mummy will always protect you." I tried to reassure her as sweat started to form on my forehead.

"Promise?" She stuck a pinky finger.

"Promise." I smiled and linked pinky fingers with her.
