Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Weiss Kreuz Fan Fiction ❯ The Fallen Ones ❯ Chapter 6: Why are you here…? ( Chapter 7 )

Yes. Yes, I am being naughty, starting another fic, when I promised I'd be working on my first, but…

*wails* I HAD TO GET THIS OUT OF MY HEAD!!!! IT WON'T STOP BUGGING ME!!!

I know a lot about Sailor Moon, both manga and anime-wise (though I'm by no means an expert), and though I know little about Weiss Kreuz, I find Farfarello absolutely fascinating. (I must have some sort of fetish for people with silver hair *smile*)

So I did a lot of research on him, to portray him in the best way, yet in a way I could be comfortable in. I've decided on the cold, smart Farfarello, though weather he's insane or just eerily creepy, I haven't quite decided yet.

Disclaimer: Yes I do admit I do not own neither of these magnificent works, but it's great fun borrowing them. If I ever get around to drawing my own manga, than maybe we can trade. But till then… *sigh* I'll have to settle for loaning them from their respective owners.

Authors note: I might be stepping on a lot of toes when writing this, but I'm sure Farfarello would forgive me. After all, there's going to be a whole lot of blasphemy in later chapters. Usagi… Hell! Usagi forgives everyone!!!

So enjoy!!

The Fallen Ones

Chapter 6: Why are you here…?

"Why are you here?"

The question hung in the air, begging to be answered.

But… she didn't know. Why was she here? Why had she forced him awake? Was she that selfish? Was she that cruel?

Looking into his golden eye, seeing his silver-white hair flutter against pale skin, she felt an ache in her heart, a desperate longing. She didn't want to be the only one anymore. She didn't want to walk the Earth knowing she was different, the only one of her kind left. She would walk through fire, just to see that shade of silver NOT reflected in a mirror. And she would fly through Hell, if it meant that she would see him there…

"Who do you hate in this life, Farfarello? Is it me?"

They would have thought she was stalling, were it not for her small tired voice as her shoulders hunched. The bells had lost their chime; the silver pools, their lustre… Her eyes would meet no ones, staring down on the grass, filled with reluctant resignation. This question was important to her.

Yet… everybody knew Farfarello hated God. How could she Not Know THAT, when she claimed to have known him in the past?

A thoughtful eye trailed over the fey, measuring her, tawny eye noting the way she shivered, as if expecting to be struck down. She was afraid…

"Farfarello hated Selene."

The tone was neutral, quiet, but the spark of defiance burning in his eye as he watched for her reaction with a guarded intensity, spoke of belingering intent.

Several eyebrows had risen at his statement. Farfarello NOT hating God above all was news to all of them.

But the girl simply gave an indulging smile.

"Yes, that he did," she nodded, apparently understanding what no one else did, "But who do you hate now?"

The answer came much faster this time, as if he had nothing to hide, and why should he hide it anyway?

"Jei hates God."

Serenity's head snapped up at the sound of that name, eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty scrutinizing him, searching him for any lies. The name Jei seemed to float from her lips, breathlessly, as she mouthed the word, tasting it, trying it…

Why did such a name have such an impact upon her? Who was this Jei? Why hadn't neither Schwarz or Weiss heard of him before? What did it matter that he hated God when it was Farfarello that was asked?

"Jei?"

Schuldig snapped back to the present, not comprehending why the girl-creature was smiling such a brilliant smile from such a trivial thing such as a name, but beneath his sulking even he had to admit that smile warmed his heart.

A curt nod came forth from the Irishman as he confirmed, "Jei," and a bright light lit up in Omi's head, watching the weird interaction between the two. "Farfarello's Jei!" he whispered incredulously to Aya, loud enough for the rest to hear, "It's his name!"

The beaming smile died down slowly to a more serene and quiet smile, as her brilliant midnight eyes stayed fastened to him, filled with old sadness. With a soft voice she continued on, "Are they not the same, Jei? The people you hate?"

"Yes." He seemed weary of the sadness seeping into the question, suspicious at her sudden change of attitude. It was as if she held some secret knowledge, and she knew it would brake him…

Yohji didn't quite know what to make of all this. Farfarello/Jei hated God, but God was Selene, and neither of these pieces of information nor the fact that Farfarello was a murderer just risen from the dead seemed to faze the chick. And she had turned him down… for Farfarello!!

Serenity drifted closer, solemn, her arms opening in an offer of comfort as she neared. Her face was blank in it's expression, though her eyes betrayed her, shining bright with unshed tears, as she spoke in merely a whisper, "Selene is dead, Jei. Your God is dead."

Nagi had always thought that if someone came up to Farfarello and told him that his God was dead, he would either grin like the insane maniac that he was or claim none could kill God. After all, it was… well, God… the God. Who could kill God? That Farfarello didn't deny what she said, though how would she know; that he fell down on his knees in a daze, mask cracked; and that a single tear fell down his chin, spoke of how much he must have cared for this God, before she betrayed him in Farfarello's eyes.

"Dead?" he looked up at the sorrowful maiden, and for a moment he looked so utterly young, a lost confused little child not comprehending why he was there as the silver creature stooped down to comfort him, hugging him as her face nestled in his shoulder, crying herself.

"Yes. My mother is dead."

Not a word was spoken as they watched the two creatures comfort each other, kneeling on the grass, holding each other in a silent embrace, one wearing virgin white, the other a black so dark it swallowed the light.

Farfarello was the one to brake the embrace. No tears had been shed since the first, and Farfarello had hated God after all.

Rising up, looking down at Serenity, Farfarello looked empty. His eyes were a mixture of raging anger and weary suspicion, waiting for the final blow after she had brought him back just to take away his passion, but he himself looked empty, hollow. He looked ethereal wearing his ancient black robes, silver circling his shoulders and sleeves, the print of Serenity's crescent etched in silver upon his chest; yet he still looked lifeless… a creature without hope. 'And damned her for doing it,' thought Nagi.

"Why are you here, Serenity?"

The lifelessness in his voice was enough to make her cringe, as they faced each other off. It had gone too far. There was no going back now. She would have her answer and then she would make it right, even if she had to take Gods place.

At first, Ken thought she wasn't going to answer. But then she glowed a brilliant silver, and suddenly she had wings, pure white tawny wings covering the sky so only the moon could peek through. She was an angel. The girl was an angel.

Flashing lights surrounded her, magic wind whipping her twin ponytails as she spread her wings. She looked magical, she looked mythical, she looked majestic; and as she transformed she spoke her heart, sweeping her hands at her wings.

"Who do you hate now, Farfarello? Is it me? Do you hate me, Jei? Me who looks so much like my mother; the very icon of your God? Me who must take my mothers place? Do you hate me, my Fallen One?"

***

"Why are you here?"

"I don't know. Don't you want me to be here?"

"…"

"*sniffle* I don't like being alone anymore…"

"… neither do I…"

Praeceps:

Okay, I'll admit… The wings were too tempting (always was a sucker for angels…)

This chapter might have opened something close to a can of worms, but their past together is extensive (an I have every single thing saved on file… JOY!!) It leaves you wondering what on earth Selene (I know some call her Queen Serenity, but the whole Serenity I, Serenity II, Serenity III thing is both annoying and confusing so…) did to the poor boy (just to leave you wanting… It was nasty!! what she did to him!!)

Both Farfarello and his darling Serenity (note the sarcasm) are at this point really experiencing mood swings… as if you didn't notice. It really can't be helped, though even I find it a tad bit annoying (and I wrote the damn piece!!)

And mentioning Farfies robes… think of something close to Helios's uniform (it looks soo much nicer than armour, and Lunarians are a peaceful race.)

I actually have a plan when it comes to Farf and Renity, but I still haven't made up my mind whether the princess makes it out alive or not… It's so easy for it to go both ways…

And don't forget: Italics in the first part is from their shared past (which will become obvious as time goes by)

Ooc-ness is… oh hell, tough shit, their staying that way!!!

Oh! And any spelling mistakes can be blamed on incompetent English teachers, and/or my spell-check program, because I, myself, am PERFECT!!! ;-P (and when I say perfect, I MEAN perfect. My daddy said so ;-)

If you have any questions about the story that you find unclear, I will do my best to answer them, as long as I deem them of no harm to my present plot-line.
