Magia Record: ZEXAL

Wish 10: All That Matters...Somehow

Momoko heard that Iroha met Vector again and she went with them for backup incase if a Barian or Witch or Rumors were to strike until she had heard about a haunted coliseum in Spartan City, Momoko thought it could be a rumor spreading about something haunted.

Momoko snaps out of her thoughts as she heard Droite clearing her throat and speaking about it.

"The coliseum you're looking for is supposedly haunted by a gladiator who died there. The legend says that the Prince of the country was an esteemed fighter, who took on warriors in the coliseum, battling where his people could watch and know that their future leader was a hero. One gladiator in particular was considered the Prince's equal, and they battled many times, with neither out matching the other. The Prince and this gladiator became friends, despite their differences in status, then he met a young female warrior who had the strength to even wield a sword in both hands, they fell in love and soon they would marry ."

Droite gives both Yuma and Iroha a meaningful look.

"The Prince's advisors feared that this lower class equal would make the Prince appear weak, so they framed the gladiator for a crime against the crown. Though the Prince pleaded the gladiator's innocence, it did no good. The gladiator was executed in the very coliseum he had battled in. The girl he loved begged for his innocence but was soon exiled from her home that she lived and never saw her lover again."

Momoko folded her arms and then spoke up. "I feel really bad for them, it's like Romeo and Juliet only this time, the girl didn't die, she was banished from her home and never knew her lover's execution." Momoko said as Iroha nodded.

Gauche continues the tale and Momoko felt like crying to the story but for an odd reason, she felt like she lived through the story and had seen the gladiator before but she couldn't place it as she had a bad headache before heading over to a room where they were staying.

She laid down on the bed thinking of the story of the gladiator before she got up and headed out for a small walk to clear her head of the headache as she walked over to a perfectly circular lake that looked man-made as she sighed before picking up a flat stone and throwing it as it skips along the surface of the water.

She rubbed her temples before heading back noticing how much time has passed before she saw Gauche driving to the lake and walked up to him.

"Gauche? What's up?" She asked the man as he shrugged and stared out at the lake as Momoko felt chills down her spine.

"Geez, it's pretty cold out here." She muttered before feeling more chills down her spine, for a split second, Momoko saw Gauche trying to grab her from behind as she dodged the attempts before transforming and pulling out the curved broadsword and holding out in front of her.

"Iroha could sit this one out, she's gotten hurt multiple times and I have to help with the numbers." She said out loud before she saw something on his forehead before moving forward to remove the object but she was held back by someone as she managed to get a good look at his eyes.

They were a mix of an emerald green and a light brown, a feeling in her heart told her she knows him but she doesn't even know who the living hell this guy was.

"Mila?" He spoke out softly as she raised one eyebrow at him with pure confusion before stepping onto his foot and releasing her wrists before pulling her curved sword in front of her.

"Mila? It's me, Alito." Momoko felt her heart clench in hurt when she heard the name but she tried to fight her feelings before tears formed in her eyes but she wiped them away quickly and began fighting the Barian Alito who punched her blade everytime she would strike just before Yuma and the others, except Iroha who was resting, arrived to see Momoko fighting Alito.

"Momoko!" Yuma called out as she turned around to see the boy and the spirit, Astral behind along with Droite before Yuma pulled out his duel disk and began dueling alongside Momoko as Astral floated up for the card while Alito was distracted as the battled ended with Alito gone and Momoko feeling somewhat heartbroken seeing him as she wiped the tears from her eyes as she played the music on her headphones playing a song as she felt the feelings rush back.

Never thought that you would stay forever
Never asked you to commit your life

But I can tell you in my heart I never
Thought you'd up and leave me

Without a trace to lead me
But now you're standing here with that look in your eyes

The look that makes me hope I'll just believe your lies
You're lost, you're found
You're hard to pin down

I never know if you'll come through
Then you appear
Together we're here
And that's all that matters

Somehow

Thought that I could pull you from the shadows
Maybe help you find your wings and fly
But you're a path the longer that I travel

The more I'm just defeated
My past mistakes repeated

I'll risk it once again to have you near my side
Another chance to let you just destroy my pride
You're lost, you're found
You're hard to pin down

I never know if you'll come through
Then you appear
Together we're here
And that's all that matters

Somehow

I feel like I'm running out of energy
When you just take everything in stride
The way I feel

To you is no big deal
It's sad but it's true
That the one thing I can count on
Is that I can't count on you

You're lost, you're found
You're hard to pin down
I never know if you'll come through

Then you appear
Together we're here
And that's all that matters

Somehow

Momoko found herself crying again but she wiped the tears away from her eyes and headed back to her place before heading to bed early and closing her eyes after a whole day of fighting as she fell into the peaceful thing she called sleeping.

She never knew that the same Barian who had taken human form watched her from the window as sighed and left through a portal before taking one last glance at Momoko and leaving some red carnations at her desk.

He knew the red carnation means admiration and missing another.

And deep down, he missed Mila very dearly and how he wished to hold her again and here she is reincarnated by the name of Momoko Togame.

He returned to Barian World with tears down his cheeks as the other Barians, Dumon and Mizar saw the tears and walked to him. "It's nothing." He said wiping them away as they nodded.
