Happy Ever After...?
====================
An El Hazard/AMG crossover
Many stories begin with something going wrong.. this is not one of them.
One story ends.. another begins. There's always a day after.
===================================================
Morning.. present day.. Earth, Tokyo...
Makoto Mizuhara lay on his futon with his eyes shut, listening to the
birds greet the sun.
He turned his head slightly.. opening eyes to watch the sunlight filter
into his small room..
Makoto thought back over the last few months.. He'd finally managed to
get his life back to something like normality.. he'd finished school..
the coaching Fujisawa-sensai had run him through in the time it had
taken to construct the gate he had used to rejoin Ifurita had helped
there..
He finally decided to get up, completed his morning ablutions and headed
down to breakfast.
He had brought enough gold back with him to buy a small, two bedroom
flat and make some discrete investments, storing the bulk away..
Makoto stopped at the foot of the stairs.. simply looking for a moment..
A woman sat on the floor mat looking out onto the small back garden, her
legs curled up underneath her, hair simply tied back in an azure
waterfall down the back of her dressing gown.. more beautiful than most
other women in a ball gown..
Feeling his gaze, Ifurita turned, a smile blossoming on her pale face
"Good morning Mako-kun.."
"Good morning Ifu-chan." he felt his answering smile, sun to her moon..
"You're early.. 1.3 standard deviations early.. Breakfast is still.."
"Today's a big day. I wanted to make an early start."
+++++
School! he snorted as he finished breakfast and rose to help her wash
up.. still it had to be done.. he could not have returned to El-Hazard,
although he had made friendships that he would treasure for the rest of
his life.. he could not return.
He could not return because _she_ could not return. Too much blood had
been spilt for her to live peacefully there.. too much blood and too
many terrible memories.
A clean break.
A fresh start.. she had earned it.. ten thousand years of slavery.. then
ten thousand years of longing.. she had paid and paid and paid!
Makoto Mizuhara and Ifurita 'Robinson' got on his motorcycle and headed
off for his first day at Nekomi Institute of Technology...
She deserved a chance..
They deserved a chance..
A chance to live happily ever after..
