----- Dead Apple : Without Me

|| 30. For Yokohama, a Pure Demonic Angel

YOU immediately felt Dazai let go of his hands. Dazai hugged you right away. "We'll stop by their grave tomorrow." You smiled and nodded in agreement. Dazai and you walked to your both home.

"We're home," you said softly while opened the door slowly.

"Ah! Mama, Papa! Welcome home!" Your daughter shouted from her room. Not so long, she came while running down on the stairs. She almost stumbled because of a weak body after waking up.

You immediately dropped your belongings and hugged your daughter tightly. You cried. "Eh, Mama?! What is wrong? Why are you crying?" She asked in confusion. "PAPA, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MAMA?!" She shouted, thinking that you were crying because of Dazai. "Mama, don't cry, or I'll cry too." She almost cried seeing you cry.

"N-no! This isn't his fault, Princess. Mama is only proud of you. Thank you." You sobbed.

"W-what? I don't remember doing anything."

You pulled yourself. Dazai picked your daughter up. "Princess, you can't remember everything because you haven't fully mastered your ability. The Crystal of Memories you made saved me and your Mama."

"Really?" You can saw her sparkling eyes.

Dazai nodded. "When you finally can control your Guardian Angel power, you will realize that your soul is always awakened to help many people." Dazai continued.

"Like Uncle Oda?!" You and Dazai stared at each other. But at the end, you both smiled. "That's right!"

"Woah," her dazzling eyes makes you and Dazai smiled. It was something you both really miss.

"Eum, let's go in! Mama will make shortcakes. Do you want some?" You asked while walking to the kitchen.

"Of course! I want some!" She jumped from Dazai's arms.

Dazai smiled, seeing the strong bond between you and your daughter. He almost forgot he is a suicidal maniac when he saw both of you. He took off his shoes and walked inside. "It's good to be home," he said quietly.

"Hey Papa, I have a strange dream today. I don't know whether it's a bad dream or a sweet dream, but it's very fun."

"Really?" Dazai asked as if he didn't know what had happened. In fact, it was a shadow of the Crystal of Memories which she had made for him.

"My ability, Guardian Angel!"

"Eh?" Your daughter was confused when her ability did not respond to her call. Dazai had grabbed his daughter's wrist while he leaned his chin on the other hand. "Why won't my ability come out?!" Diana asked who began to whine.

You sticks your head out from the kitchen door next to the living room, where your daughter and Dazai play. "Honey, don't you remember that your father ability is No Longer Human. He can erase your ability for a few moments when he touches you."

Your daughter pulled her hand away. "Papa cheated! It's not fair, Papa!" She accused.

"Papa is really bad at fighting, Honey. Please forgive him." You mocked, making Dazai put out his tch-face.

"Tch, what was that?"

"But Papa's ability is still the strongest!" Your daughter shouted. She's being a proud child again. "With that ability, no one will come near us, right? right?! Am I right?!"

Dazai scrambled his daughter's hair. "But that's not my ability. That is part of me." Dazai said, saying the same sentence that Atsushi said when he fought Shibusawa.

"Well then, Guardian Angel is also part of me." your daughter chatter. "I'll protect Mama and Papa!"

"Yeay!" Dazai cheered on her cute heroic sentence.

"Alright, Guardian Angel! Time to go bed!" You ordered then carried your daughter. You also took her to her room. Dazai followed you both from behind.

After your daughter sleeps, you turned off the headlights of the room and turned on the sleeping lights on the nightstand. You pulled a blanket to cover half of your daughter's body. You also kissed your daughter forehead. "Sweet dreams," you hushed.

You turned around and found Dazai leaning on the door frame. "What about our daughter's future?" He asked.

"I don't know," you said softly then hugged Dazai. Dazai run his hands through your hair while occasionally kiss it. "A normal school days? Wake her up for morning classes, let her go out with her friends? Maybe that's not how her life will go. Even though she still chooses to protect people by using her ability, I want her to stay on the side of good people, just like you. I don't want her to be like me. Moreover, she really admires my brother."

"Does that mean she will be a candidate for the new ADA member?" Dazai asked while chuckling.

"Indeed, Dazai." You said. "Instead being a part of Gifted Special Operations Division. They accused you of nonsense."

Dazai chuckled. "You need to forget about it." Dazai kissed the top of your head.

"It can't be helped. I don't want her to be part of the Port Mafia either."

"I love you."

"I love you more."

"I love you most, Belladonna."

: END! Finally! We'll have one epilogue chapter and one special chapter. I'll finish all of this this week. Atleast I'm trying. See you guys, I LOVE YOU~! *Crying in Rashoumon*
