Chapter 97: Chapter Ninety Seven: Past

Part 1:

In the vast universe, on a round planet called Earth, within the continent of Asia, and within the Sainan woods, a golden-haired girl with red eyes, black pajamas, and pink, bunny slippers on her feet, walked along a trail in the woods.

But despite the girl following the trail like a map, the girl had no particular destination in mind. She was simply walking under the night sky.

Eventually however, during her walk along the trail, she caught some movement from the corner of her left eye.

Instinctively and with partial curiosity, the golden-haired assassin turned her head in the direction of the movement.

And when she did…

She saw him.

Sitting on a wide rock in the middle of a open grassfield, wearing a blue shirt, black shorts, and blue, bunny slippers as he tossed a green container of bandages in the air while staring at the moon in the sky.

"…My target."

Yami muttered, taking a step forward, but accidently snapping a weak and weirdly bent stick as she did.

[Snap]

"!!!"

Yami jumped before quickly crouching behind a bush.

Only after a few seconds of crouching did she stand back up, not realizing why she hide.

"Yami!"

Rian, the boy who stopped tossing the box of bandages in his hand upon hearing a stick snap, called out and gestured for the the golden-haired girl he saw rise up from behind a bush to come over.

"…"

And like a loyal soldier hearing their superior call them over, Yami walked towards Rian, taking a seat on the rock he was sitting on after seeing him slowly pat it three times.

"What are doing up, Yami?"

The hazel-eyed boy asked while looking at the red-eyed girl who sat beside him.

"…I was just out walking. What are you doing up?"

"…Nana punched me out of my sleep."

Rian lightly tapped the right side of his face, indicating the place he got punched.

"…"

Yami turned away from Rian before turning back a few moments later with a calm expression.

"Did you just look away and laugh?"

Rian said after seeing Yami's shoulders jump and her cheeks move after turning away from him.

"…"

Yami stared at the right side of Rian's face before turning away and doing the same thing.

"…(Sigh) You can laugh all you want. But hey, at least the luck in my misfortunate-luck was meeting you."

Rian said, a small grin appearing on his face afterwards.

"…"

Yami's calm face turned red from that somewhat cheesy line.

"Hahaha!"

Rian's laughed at Yami's reaction.

"…"

Yami sliently and softly punched Rian's shoulder.

"Hahaha!"

Yami's gentle punch made Rian laugh even more.

"…"

Yami closed her eyes and ignored Rian until he finally stopped laughing and asked her a question.

"Do you know what I was thinking about while I was out here?"

"No."

Yami couldn't read minds.

"Well, I was thinking about a new goal. Wanna hear it?"

Rian asked, clearly wanting to tell Yami his new goal.

"Mmmm."

Yami nodded, feeling that Rian wanted to tell her.

"Well…I want to have one hundred Rian Yuki's."

"…"

Yami's red eyes blinked and her head slightly tiltled against her will.

"Ah, I don't mean one hundred children named Rian Yuki. I mean one hundred Rian Yuki Jr's."

"…"

"My son is going to be the second, my grandson is the third, my great grandson is the forth, and my great-great grandson is the fifth."

"…"

Yami's lips slightly moved

"What?"

"…"

Yami's cheeks slightly moved.

"…"

"Pfft-Hahaha!"

Yami suddenly busted out laughing, placing her palms on her face and slightly leaning forward as she did.

"…"

Rian blinked, staring at the laughing, golden-haired girl beside him.

"Hahahahaha!"

Yami wasn't laughing at Rian's goal, she was laughing at his need for explanation…honesty.

"…"

Rian just tossed his bandages in the air until Yami's laughter died down. Only after it died down…did Rian ask Yami a question:

"What is your goal, Yami?"

A curious Rian Yuki asked.

"…To kill you, of course."

A good mood Yami responded

"…"

"…Just kidding."

"…Are you really just kidding?"

"No."

Yami repiled without hesitation.

"…"

"…Just kidding."

"(Sigh) So do you plan on reading ever book on earth? Despite me and you knowing each other for some time, I still don't know much about you, Yami."

Rian said, stopping his little tossing game.

"…You want to know more about me?"

Yami asked, staring the hazel-eyes boy in his eyes with her red ones.

"Of course."

Rian responded without delay.

"…"

Yami continued to stare at Rian, seemingly pondering something.

"…"

"…"

"You don't really have to tell me. I was just cur-"

Before Rian could finish his sentence, Yami's head fell into Rian lap.

Looking down after seeing Yami purposely place her head in his lap, his hazel eyes met Yami's red eyes once again.

"…"

"…"

The boy and the girl stared at each other until Yami suddenly broke the slience with a name.

"…Doctor Tearju Lunatique."

Yami muttered a name that was only for her target to hear.

"Doctor…Tearju Lunatique?"

Rian knew alot of doctors from different parts of the world, but even he had never heard that name.

"Yes…Doctor Tearju Lunatique. Can you…listen to the past for a while?"

"Of course. Go ahead."

"…Thank you."

Yami lightly muttered before speaking moments later.

Part 2:

A little girl with golden hair and red eyes, she looked as if she couldn't have been older than ten years old, waved from a pod filled with a green liquid at one particular, golden haired, green-eyed, and…extremely busty doctor from the dozens that entered.

"Tear!!"

The little girl called out.

"…Good morning. How do you feel? Is anything hurting you?"

The green-eyed women with a clipboard and pen the little girl called "Tear" said in a worried tone as she approched the pod.

"Uh-uh! I feel great, Tear."

"That's good. What do you want to read today? I found a lot of good books we can read together."

"Wow! Can we read another picture-book together, Tear."

"Of course, but later, okay?"

"Mmmm! I understand!"

Part 3:

"Was she related to you?"

Rian asked, causing the girl with her head in his lap to shake her head.

"…It wouldn't…I don't think I could say yes and feel as if I was telling you the honest truth. However, if it wasn't for her cells and the ability of science…I wouldn't have ever tried to assassinate you."

"…So you're clone made from Doctor Tearju Lunatique's living cells?"

"…"

Yami nodded before continuing.

Part 3:

"How many friends did she get, Tear?"

The golden haired little girl asked as she laid on her stomach with her little feet swinging back and forth on a pink bed.

"A lot. She got a alot of friends."

Tear said with a smile before closing a book and placing it off to the side.

"A lot…Tear, will I ever get a lot of friends?"

The little girl with a black top on her body asked, unknowingly stopping her feet from swinging.

"Of course you will. And I promise to meet every single of of them one day."

"Mmm! It's a promise!!!"

The little girl's barefeet started to swing back and forth, however this time, they swung even faster than last time.

"…"

Sliently smiling at the little girl's innocent and happy body language, Tearju picked up another book before beginning to read another book.

Part 4:

"Tear…she taught me a varity of things. Even though I can't call her my mother or sister…I can say she felt like a mother and sister to me. She was clumsy and burned food a lot, but she was nice to be around. Around her, I could sleep soundly, not worrying about being killed in my sleep."

"…"

Rian didn't ask what happened to her…from what he could gather…she may not exist anymore.

"I don't know where she is. But from what I heard from the people who watched me and Tear interact from a distance, Tear left due to clashing beliefs with everyone. The remaining people just extended their hand towards me and promised to make me into a "weapon".

Despite not being a esper who could read thoughts, Yami felt the need to say that.

"…"

Rian's hand suddenly moved itself on Yami's hair, sliently and gently stroking it.

"…"

Yami did not stop his hand.

"Wanna sleep."

Rian suddenly said, breaking the slience like the stick that broke the slience earlier.

"…"

Yami nodded.

Despite not feeling sleepy before, Yami felt her sleepy meter raise as her head was stroked by Rian.

"Good. Close your eyes."

"…Okay."

Following what he said, Yami shut her eyes, but unknowingly kept her guard up.

"Yami, you don't have to worry about anyone attacking you…i'm right here."

Rian said

"…"

After hearing that, Yami's body moved a bit before slowly relaxing.

"Whenever you need to soundly sleep…just come get me, okay?"

"Mmmm."

Yami hummed a response.

After that, a while a passed before Yami had fallen sleep, completely relaxed.

Despite having not sheets to shield her, she felt warm.

Despite having her guard down, she felt completely safe.

Despite sleeping in a boy's lap and on a rock, she felt cozy.

That night…

Golden Dar-No…Yami…slept soundly.
