Authors Notes

WHAAT? There is NONE fics for Tomoya X Misae?

Pity, I really liked Misae as a character but she was taken by Shima…Oh well, even in the game that was so.

I guess I'll post one then, I just suddenly got a light bulb in my head for a story that might work…

If there is enough support I might continue posting chapters…I have a vague plot in my head right now.

Reviews are always mucho appreciated!

Second Chance

Prologue – A new beginning

It all started when Shima communicated his past with Misae to Tomoya during one of his usual visits…

"You cat does have a name, doesn't he? It's Katsuki Shima." Tomoya said absentmindedly.

"Eh…? Tomoya? What do you mean…?" Misae asked, slightly shocked.

"This cat's name is…Shima. He was your past boyfriend, wasn't he? He's telling me things…" Tomoya continued.

"I was happy to have fulfilled my Master's wish to grant you yours, and that your wish was for me to be with you forever. We also made a promise to go to the festival together, didn't we?" Tomoya muttered, repeating everything he's hearing from Shima.

Misae slowly put down her teacup and sat in front of Tomoya, looking back and forth between him and her cat.

"And I am glad, I promise to stay with you, forever loving you. However, Master's original wish was also for your happiness. I'm happy that you love me, and I'm touched that you would wait for me forever. However, I want you to be happy…" Tomoya continued, muttering word by word what Shima is telling him.

"With this, I hope to have fulfilled all of Master's final wishes. I'm happy to have loved you, and be loved by you. And I'm fine as long as you would keep me by your side forever, as per your wish. However, I cannot help but notice the feelings of the youth who always visits your room…The one who is acting as the medium for me to tell you this." Tomoya continued, as if mesmerized.

"I also cannot help but notice your own feelings, my new master. I have known you for a long time and I can tell that you do harbor a certain degree of feeling for him… I'd ask that you go for it, master. I would do it myself, but I am merely a cat. As long as you can be happy with him, I'll be happy. And my first Master would also be able to rest easy… I will always stay by your side, just as you wished...I want you to be happy, master. About that promise, as long as you bring me along with this youth, I'll be happy…Because Master's happiness is my happiness. Good bye, and thank you for everything, Master. I hope everything between you and him work out."

After that last sentence, Tomoya fainted onto Misae's bed.

"Tomoya…? Hey, what's wrong?" Misae shook Tomoya's shoulder in an attempt to wake him up.

Giving up, she set him onto her bed and covered him with a blanket.

"Really, Tomoya always drops by on a whim; I almost thought it was just to bug me, but…He did say he liked me, but I took it as flattery…" Misae thought out loud.

Afterwards, she walked over to her cat.

"Neko-chan…No, Shima…Right?" Misae picked up her cat and embraced it.

"Meow~" Shima purred in her arms.

"If what Tomoya told me was true…Then, I really don't know what to say." Misae started slowly.

"I'd be lying if I said I still don't love you, or am still waiting for you. Even now I feel it, the pain of separation on the day I thought you left me. I never thought I could love anyone again." Misae paused and looked over at Tomoya who was resting peacefully on her bed.

"But…I guess I can try. No matter how much I deny it, I guess I do like Tomoya…Sort of. More so than any other guy I know right now. As to actually loving him…I suppose time will tell." Misae smiled at her cat.

Looking at her cat, Misae saw in its eyes the similarity to Katsuki Shima. It was then that she felt the connection between them.

"I wonder why I never noticed before…" Misae muttered under her breath.

She picked Shima up and stared at it up in the air.

"I suppose…This new beginning is also thanks to you. Thank you for giving me the precious memories that I still hold dear to this day, and for staying with me all this time." She hugged Shima tightly.

"I guess this is goodbye, goodbye to the hope that I would be able to see you one more time. And also the beginning of something new, isn't it?" Misae looked over at Tomoya once more.

"I don't know if I'll be able to find happiness with Tomoya, or if I can come to love him. But if it's what you wish for, Shima, I'll do my best." She paused and took a deep breath.

"This time, I'll grant you wish, Shima. I'll find happiness, and when that day comes…I'll come back to you, and tell you with a smile…That I have granted your final wish…That I have found someone who gave me the same comfort you did…That I have found a new love. " Misae leaned in to kiss Shima's forehead.

"Will it come, I wonder? You wanted me to take you to the festival, hand in hand with Tomoya, was it? I wonder if it'll really come to be."

Misae walked over to Tomoya and put her hand on his cheek.

"Tomoya…You silly boy. Because you came today, I now have more unnecessary worries!" I exclaimed.

"But…I suppose I should thank you. You allowed me to hear Shima's final thoughts, hope and wish for me. I guess...That if you really do like me as you say you do…I'll be seeing you around more often, right?"

Misae smiled as she said this.

Shima purred in the background, almost as if in satisfaction.

To be continued…?

Authors Notes

Gods, by the time I finished writing this and reread it, it FELT SO STIFF AND ABSTRACT. This is definitely not what I would call a 'good' piece of work and yet, I can't really find anything to add more depth to it…

Maybe it was because I just wrote the Ever17 Fanfiction earlier, it sapped a lot of creative juice out of me haha.

Sigh, oh well. Maybe if I continued this the future chapters would be more interesting but…

Anyway, reviews or criticism, I'll take 'em!
