Nyaruko just ended her story. But all of them were crying. Not loudly. A silent cry that no one would notice unless seen.
"What's the matter?" Nyaruko asked.
"What's the matter you say? How can you be so heartless? Such a tragic story." Mizuki said in a trembling voice.
"Yes. To think my cute Akatsuki went through something like that." Juno said.
"Yes. I did not know." Aisha added.
"No need to be so sad. It's not like Nebula is dead. It's just that he feels guilty. So this not not a sad tragedy." (N)
"Nebula is not dead?" All of them asked.
"Yes. How to say it...she is alive inside of all of you. By that I mean those who have romantic feelings for Akatsuki." (N)
"Huuuuuuuhhhhhhhh." A long and threatening voice was heard.
"What do you mean by that?" All of them grabbed her demanding an explanation.
"Well, her astral body was split and she ended up merging with your souls. So technically, all of you possess one part of Nebula. Akatsuki knows that himself so maybe it's guilty conscience." (N)
"Ummmm….. I see." They said.
It's like they got better at accepting this stuff.
"Anyway let's have a look again." Nyaruko said and that screen projected again.
But this time only Zeus, Lucifer and Mr. Shinomiya were found. Akatsuki was nowhere to be found.
"Wait. Where is he?" Nyaruko was searching but she couldn't sense him.
"Nononono….. this can't be happening. He isn't there or anywhere. Where did he go?" Nyaruko was searching.
"What's the matter?" Seeing her frantic behavior they asked.
"Well, I can't find Akatsuki." Nyaruko said.
"What?" They shouted.
That's when someone suddenly appeared.
It was exuding black smoke and looked deathly.
With a black robe and hidden face, it couldn't be said whether it's a man or a woman.
"Hey Nyaruko." That said.
"Is that you death?" (N)
"Yeah. I am here to tell you something." That said and removed its hoodie.
From under a skeleton like figure could be seen.
But then it removed its skull and a beautiful woman appeared.
Black hair. As black as it could be and purple eyes. Which shone in the dark. A really beautiful face. Just like Nyaruko.
"Hello. I am what you call death." She said.
"Yeah. She is literally death." Nyaruko said.
"Ok." Mizuki said.
They all nodded.
"So why are you here?" (N)
"He is coming." (D)
"Who?" (N)
"Chaos." (D)
"Isn't that Akatsuki?" (N)
"You can ask him." (D)
Nyaruko stopped asking questions and then Akatsuki appeared.
"Yo!" He said.
"Yeah. Been a while." Nyaruko said.
"Akatsuki, why are you here?" Selene asked.
"That's why. I am here to say one thing. I am not Akatsuki. I am Chaos." He said.
"Uhhhh….. I don't know anymore." Nyaruko held her head.
"No. Like I said, I am Chaos. The man named Akatsuki is dead." He said.
"Don't joke around. How many times do you think we have heard that?" Mizuki said.
"I knew it. That's why I will show you. I am Chaos. Not Akatsuki. Nyaruko, can you please clarify?" He asked.
Nyaruko then closed her eyes to sense him.
Then she opened her eyes and said,
"I can't feel him inside you. All this time, you've been merged together. But now, you are alone." Nyaruko said.
"Exactly. Freedom. After so many years, I achieved freedom. It's nice being free. I hope he can spend his remainder of days in peace." Chaos said.
"Where is that guy exactly?" (N)
"Isn't it obvious? He is there where every god goes when they decide to retire. He is at the Oblivion." (C)
"What? There? That's the gods afterlife. No mortal can go there." (N)
"He has been a god for 30 billion years. So I guess he is a god even if he doesn't have divinity." (C)
"Anything else?" (N)
"Ahhh… One more thing. This is a question for you girls." He asked the girls.
They looked at him.
"Should I separate Nebula from your souls?" (C)
"What does that mean?" (N)
"Nebula can be separated and made a whole again. And then he devised a plan. So it can bring Nebula back." (C)
"But why would I accept?" Mizuki asked.
"You know, that feeling you have for him is just an illusion. It was just Nebulas feeling you guys inherited. So if she is separated you would forget about him as well. That was his last wish." (C)
The girls looked at each other.
"No." They said.
"I see. That's a pity. But I think it'd be better to forget him. He isn't coming back anymore. He is completely useless now. Being reduced to a mere human. No not even a complete human. Just a half human." (C)
"We have to meet him. I want answers from him." Momoko said.
"Me too. He just played with us without telling us anything. So he has to answer." Aisha said.
"Ok. I'll do that. Just prepare yourselves. You might be disillusioned and disappointed seeing the real Akatsuki." (C)
"Isn't the Akatsuki we know real?" They asked.
"He is. This is his real face. But wait till you see. He is nothing more than a 30+ billion years old virgin." (C)
"That was a little too much." Nyaruko said.
"So I'll send you girls to oblivion." Chaos said.
"Yes please." They said.
"Ask him his story. And he will probably tell you." Chaos said and they disappeared.
After their disappearance only Nyaruko and chaos were left.
"So what are you gonna do?" Nyaruko asked.
"Nothing. Just sit back and watch. For the past 30 billion years, I have only watched. Never taken action myself. And this time as well." He said while smiling.
