Elfen Lied: Ten Years Later

This is a fan fiction that I wrote a while back. So please enjoyy.

“ ‘Here I lay. Dying. My skin melted off, and my organs strewn across the sand. I want to die, I want to die now. I want to die knowing that I saved the life of the man I loved, and that he killed the evil part of me. And thank you god, thank you for giving me the power to live, the power to live until I could atone for my sins. Thank you. But dear Kouta, I wish you could have seen it, how I fell, and how I die.’ That’s what you were saying when I picked you up, young woman. You were in bad shape. Then you fainted, and I swear, you limbs reassembled in the previous order.” A middle aged man was sitting down with is legs folded, over a young woman sitting on a bed. “But I found you there ten years ago, it astounds me to think that in you coma you haven’t aged a year. My young lady, you must have a guardian angel looking over you.”

Lucy was still waking up, she looked around, she was on a mattress in a bedroom. “Where am I?” She asked. She sat up and looked at the man, “When am I?”

“It’s the year 2015. And you are in Kamakura Japan.” The man looked at her, happy to see that she could already sit after a ten year coma, “What is your name my dear?”

“Kaede.” She closed her eyes, “And you?”

“You can call me Sorchiro.”

“Thank you, Sorchiro. I mean for taking me in for ten years.”

“Not a problem. I had my wife and children helping out. My sons aren’t here anymore, but you are welcome to meet my wife, Saito. She is just in the other room. She was the one to bathe and cloth you in your state. I’m a doctor, so I feed you, I know a bit about comas myself.”

“Thank you.” Lucy got up, and realized that she was dressed in a pair of shorts and hoodie. She walked into the living room, where Saito was sitting. She was knitting when she looked up to see the diclonius girl staring at her.

“Oh thank goodness. I thought you were never going to come out of that coma.”

“I really wanted to thank you.” Lucy said. “I wanted to thank you for all that you had done for us, I mean me.” Lucy caught herself, she was talking about Nyu.

The Saito got up, and hugged her. “It was my pleasure, I just wanted to see you get better.”

Lucy hugged her back, she was much taller in comparison to the last time she was awake, around 6 feet. Her breasts had grown too. Her hair had grown considerably. “Is the maple in still around?”

The woman looked up from the hug, “You mean that place with the married cousins just up the road. Kouta and Yuka. Don’t they also live with that retailer, and his daughter, she comes here every so often to offer help. Now what was her name again?”
“Nana.” Lucy answered.

“Yes, that’s right. Do you know her?”

“Yes. I need to get to that house. I can get there on my own, I walked that path many times over the past ten years.” Indeed she had, over the course of her coma, she saw the memories of Kouta, Nana, and Mayo run through her head.

“But you just woke up, you must be hungry. Why not stay for a meal?”

Lucy looked at her for a second. “I’m sure that they’ll offer me a meal when I see them. Can I borrow these cloths for a while?”

“Just keep them. They don’t look good on me anymore anyway.”

“Okay, Thank you. And again, I want to apologize for the massive trouble that I must have been.”

“Oh, pah. Didn’t you have a place to go anyway. You have old friends to see, so go.” She pushed Lucy out the door. And gave out a satisfied sigh. “I’ve known the girl for ten years, and don’t know a single thing about her.”

Lucy walked up the hill that leads to the staircase to the maple inn, this staircase would bring back bad memories. It was the place where she almost killed another of her kind, and then remembering the reaction that Nyu had when finding out about it. She was mad at herself for what she had done, and vowed never to try to kill another person, or diclonius. She got to the front door of the Maple Inn. She lifted her hand to knock, and pulled it back afraid of their reaction. She had “died” ten years ago, and for her to all of a sudden show up at the front door. She rose her hand again, and knocked this time, at first quiet, and then a bit louder.

The door slid open. Kouta popped his head out saying “Yes” as he rose it. When there eyes met, Kouta stepped outside, and closed the door. “Kaede, is that you?” he said.

“Yes. It’s been a while, hasn’t it.” She looked at him, and smiled. She walked up to him, and hugged him. She began to cry.

“But you died years back.” Kouta told her.

“Lucy died, I didn’t.” Lucy said.

“Come inside. Kurama’s with us. If you can forgive him. It took me a while.” He motioned for her to go into the house. And told her to wait for a second, just while he prepped everybody for the meeting.

Kouta walked into the room and took a seat at his usual place. They were all eating dinner, Nana was already on her second helpings. “So, I have some news for you all tonight. For some it may be good, and others, eh, I can’t say the best. But somebody came home tonight. And most of us have missed her dearly.” Yuka, who was sitting next to him, had already caught on, and was overjoyed with the news, but the others still weren’t as observant. “Lucy came home.”

Nana dropped her bowl, “But Lucy died ten years ago. You shot her remember.”

“Okay, well, I’ll go get her then.” He walked into the hall, but Lucy had disappeared into a room, her old room. Kouta found her and grabbed her shoulder, “It’s time to go see everybody.”

“Okay.” They walked into the room together, and Nana and Mayo came running up to her. They hugged her as soon as they got to her. Yuka looked at her, and noticed it wasn’t Nyu.

“Nyu is still part of you right?” she asked. Her and Kouta’s daughter was sitting at the other end of the table, confused.

“Who’s Nyu?”

Yuka looked at her, and said, “One of your big sisters.”

Lucy looked at her, and then to the little girl, “Yes Nyu is still with me. What’s your name little girl?”

The girl looked at Kouta, and Kouta nodded his head, “Kaede.”

Lucy walked up to her, bent down, and hugged her. “Looks like you have a new big sister then.”

The girl looked even more confused. Mayo nodded and said, “She’s right, she is my sister. Looks like nobody died that day though, Bando lived too, somehow, the man never ceases to amaze me.”

Lucy looked at her, “ Bando’s alive?”

“Yep.”

“But I, killed him.”

“We have plans to marry. Not that he can give me much in bed, having that robotic crotch.”

“Mayo, not in front of Kaede.” Kouta said.

“But, I’m fine with… Oh, sorry.” Lucy said.

“Ha, ha. Okay, so why don’t you take up a seat, and grab some food. We made more than me could eat.”
“Okay.” Lucy thought about her belly, and how she hadn’t eaten food on her own for a long while. She sat down next to Nana and began to dish out a meal for herself.

Yuka looked at her, “So how did you survive.”

“A couple took me in after my body regenerated on the beach, seems familiar I guess. I was in a coma for the past ten years, and them and their sons took care of me.”

“I’ll make sure to thank them myself. Who were they?”

“I think Nana knows them. She offers to do work for them, that’s what she told me.” She looked at Nana.

“The Yagami couple. They were housing you?” Nana questioned.

“Yes, and I thanked them thoroughly.”

“Good.” Kouta looked at her, “After the meal, I would like to invite Nozomi over to see you. Are you okay with that?”

“Yes, I would actually like to see her after all this time. I never got to thank her for the singing lessons.”

“Okay, well I’ll arrange that.”

Okay, so that was the first chapter for the afterwards that could actually happen of Elfen Lied’s manga. It’ll be a bit boring for a bit, so please cope with me.
