Shadow Slave FanFic [Missing Piece]

***

At The start of this chapter I won't start yapping about some philosophical stuff. Instead I wanted to share with you what my Idea was for the Conclusion Of the Cliffhanger I left you with at the last chapter.

I asked you in what direction you would like to see this go and I was actually surprised that everyone wanted the wholesome conclusion. I think Some, if not all of you misunderstood what I meant but that was more my fault than yours since I didn't do a great job at explaining it properly.

I didn't mean that the Fanfiction would get a bad ending. Instead I meant that the Fanfic would take a dark turn for a while after the Cliffhanger.

In the end I'm still gonna take your wishes into consideration and make Sunny act out of character here. Not that I'm great at or really care about keeping the Characters close to their Original version from G3 most of the time, but in my opinion sunny would not take the Fact that Nephis was his Master lightly.

In the end I had this all more or less planned out so I at least wanted to share with you how it would have gone if I chose to let this fanfic take a dark turn all of a sudden.

So here is the Quick Summary for how it would have gone for the next…probably 3-5 chapters.

Sunny would have pulled Nephis into the Shadows and dropped her off far away somewhere in the Dream Realm while he would Vanish again, taking the Mimic with Him.

He would have come to the false conclusion that Nephis had ordered him to love Her since it's easier to control a Slave that doesn't even want to break free from its Master. Also he would have believed that everything he went through was because she ordered him to do it because she used him as a Weapon.

They would have gone to the Nameless Temple only to find it missing too of course. They would go through some intense discussions before finally accepting that this time they would have to perform a miracle to get him back.

Cassie and Nephis would solve the Mirror Puzzle (I would have most likely invented a new OC to bring them into the Maze and help them solve it. Maybe even bringing the Character of Asterion into it to act as a guide since he cant have Sunny falling into his perhaps deepest hole of Despair yet and maybe even die somewhere in the Dream Realm since he's making reckless decisions because of being truly broken this time. He needs him as a Divine Aspect holder after all.) In the end they would retrieve the part of Weavers Lineage and forge a plan of finding sunny and giving it to him so that he would at least listen to them.

In the end they would have to fight him and knock him out somehow. Then forcefully give him [Mind Weave] which in turn would give him part of his Memories back. One of them being the Moment he was Enslaved and another their discussion on the Ball inside the Valor Manor. That would make him realize that Nephis truly never willingly used her power over him and that all his decisions had been his own and not been manipulated by [Shadow Bond] but true Love instead.

This small Arc would have lasted 3-5 chapters before they would be reunited again. In the end Sunny and Nephis would have sealed the deal by finally doing "It". This time with all out trust between them.

There would have been one extra thing that I can't say because that's something I planned on putting into the Fanfic anyway, so I'm not gonna say it here since it would be a spoiler.

After writing this small summary I'm actually kinda relieved that I don't have to write all that since it would be a daunting task to make it all fit nicely and make sense. Although it would have been interesting, at least in my opinion.

I hope you like the Wholesome conclusion better because that's what I went with after Talking and listening to you guys.

Ps: someone suggested I write a "What if" part for the Story but I don't have the nerves and energy to do both Ideas. I hope you enjoy the real Chapter now and please tell me what you would have actually liked better in the end.

After all, I plan on writing more Fanfictions in the future so knowing if my idea was trash or not would help me make decisions faster in the Future.

Nephis had been worrying about how he would react, panicking even. But in the end it somehow turned out great. She didn't even get to finish her sentence because suddenly she could feel Sunny's lips pressed against hers while his arms wrapped around her like a safe haven.

Her heart bloomed with love and Relief the second she realized what had happened. For a moment she could even feel his hands slipping up to her Chest before pulling back hesitantly. She began to sob for a moment before Sunny let go of her and looked deep into her Mesmerizing Gray eyes.

For a moment there was silence, then Sunny wiped away her tears and said with a calm Smile.

"If it was any other Person than I would have crashed out immediately, but since it's you I just feel relieved, happy even, since you had the courage to tell me the truth. I don't know if I had done the same in your situation. That alone tells me everything I need to know to fully trust you."

Before he could continue Nephis grabbed him again and pulled him on top of her. Their lips met again and this time his hand moved under her dress, up to her Breast without Hesitation. The feeling of relief was immediately replaced by Lust and heat while her lips escaped a soft moan.

'Please, if only one of the dead gods can hear me, make this moment last forever.'

She thought while feeling her mind drifting away under the touch of Sunny's hands and lips. She of course hoped for him to go further and start exploring more of her body. She would gladly offer it all to him if it meant that she would get a chance to spend invaluable time with him.

But in the end he did not go further, just enjoying the moment she accepted that and just felt glad to have him by her Side, or on top of her to be more precise. When the Morning sun broke through the windows and Illuminated The Café in a Beautiful orange radiance their lips parted while both of their Gazes landed on the Door which just opened with a melodic ring from the Silver Bell.

Their dazed and with lust filled eyes widened as Aiko stepped inside, she had a mixture of bewilderment and relief written all over her Face. Relief because The two were still wearing clothes although Nephis Dress has been pulled up a little so sunny could slip a Hand under it. Bewilderment because the kitchen was a huge mess and the Incantation of Master Noctis just laid on the Ground Trying to get a hold of himself.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but… the Café is opening in about an Hour so… shouldn't we get everything ready, Boss?"

Sunny gave Nephis an apologetic Look and Shrugged before Pulling her into the Shadows. Now it was just Aiko and sunnys Incantation Of Master Noctis left in the Café.

The helpless Master stood up from the Kitchen Floor and looked around with a sigh. He turned to Aiko only to flinch for a second as he noticed her smirk. Before she could say anything Sunny beat her to it, fortunately he had the perfect idea to shut her up.

"Before you start asking me any questions about what happened last Night, I have to warn you that every question will cost you 5% of your Paycheck."

Her smirk instantly Vanished and the poor Girl just nodded and let out a defeated Sigh. While putting her Belongings into the basement she shouted.

"YOU ARE NO FUN, YOU KNOW THAT?"

Sunny only laughed heartily and shouted back.

"I THINK NEPHIS WOULD DISAGREE WITH YOU."

He could not see it of course, but Aiko's face flushed deep Red after his words.

In Nephis Apartment which is located in the Top Chamber of the Ivory Tower 2 People suddenly stepped out of The Shadows while Holding Hands. Nephis was a little startled by being pulled Into the Shadows All of a sudden, she hadn't Felt the sensation in over 3 Years after all.

Sunny chuckled softly while supporting her by putting An arm around her shoulder and sat her down on one of the Chairs around the Kitchen Table.

"Sorry but I had to get us out of there. I hope you're fine. I don't know how it must Feel for you being pulled through the Shadows but for me it feels like walking through a Door that leads to a place I would describe as…home."

Nephis looked At him puzzled for a second before a smile formed on her lips.

"That wasn't the first time you Pulled me with you into the Shadows though. I was just a little frustrated that we got interrupted, that's all. But… To describe the feeling from my perspective, it also feels like Home, because you're by my side."

"That's… good to hear."

There was silence again. Not the weird kind though, but the peaceful kind. Sunny leaned onto the table beside Neph and put a hand on her shoulder while rubbing his thumb on her neck. She shivered slightly as a result. He flinched thinking that he had done something wrong. Before he could take his hand away though Nephis grabbed it and brought It up to her Cheek while pressing it against it with her own.

She closed her eyes while smiling like A fool, enjoying his warm hand on her face. After a while she took a deep breath and said softly.

"You know if you keep touching me like that I will get wet again."

Sunny, clearly confused by her words, frowned and asked oblivious to the Meaning of her words.

"Wet? We have been inside the whole time, besides it's not even Raining outside."

Nephis couldn't hold It in any longer and broke out in laughter. It took her some time to calm down but when she did she gave Sunny a smirk while raising an Eyebrow.

"Not that kind of wet. I meant Sexually aroused. You are still the same after all those years as it seems."

Sunny suddenly understood what she meant and blushed deeply. His feelings for her still did not make much sense to him. But he was slowly getting an idea for how they came into existence.

"Ahhh…I get what you mean. It's…I'm sorry but I still don't feel ready for that."

Her smile dimmed a little and the sparks of hope in her eyes stopped glistening. Quickly he added though.

"But we can change that of course. Why don't we…go on a date? I heard couples do those things so I guess we should do it too."

Her smile Widened Again as his words Sparked countless ideas in her head.

'A picnic? No…a walk through Bastion? No, that's not it…'

"I have an idea. Why don't we visit the Waking world for a while? You still remember your house in NQSC, right?"

"Yes, although I don't care about it much since I live In the Dream Realm most of the time. I only visited the Waking world to kill the Winter Beast and explore The wild."

Sunny might have lost most of his Memories About the people he cares About, but his interest for the Past never Vanished. He doesn't remember teacher Julius but the Man still left his imprint on Sunny when he told him Stories about the Past. So he had been busy exploring the lost Continents like North America and big parts of Europe.

One of his Avatars was always out there in the Waking world, searching for lost knowledge that may or may not turn out useful sometimes.

"You…You did what? That was you?"

Sunny Hadn't told her about killing the Winter Beast. He had told the others while she was still in bed with him so her reaction made sense. Sunny Just shrugged and said evenly.

"I mean, yeah. I killed it to take revenge. The thing wiped out almost all of Antarctica after all. I don't know how exactly I Survived encountering it but I do remember having a great amount of spite for that thing."

Nephis continued To look at him completely Flabbergasted. She knew That Sunny was strong but Killing A Corrupted Titan and a special one at that all by himself was perhaps a little too much for her to grasp.

"Jet theorized that it was you but…I thought she just wanted to cheer me up. That's… really impressive Sunny."

She said awed while burying her face in her hands.

"Well I guess I'm pretty awesome sometimes. I'm glad there is something you didn't already know about me."

She couldn't help but Chuckle. The situation was more than a little absurd, but she had more important things to do than being amazed by Sunny's deeds. Although she would love listening to some stories like in the good old times.

Shaking off her amazement she grabbed Sunny's wrist and stood up.

"We need to go to the Waking world, NOW. I have my Anchor in your house so let me bring you there."

Sunny just smiled and gave her a nod.

'Who am I to refuse a beautiful Woman like her… well there are some things, but we Will get there.'

Suddenly they both Vanished from her Apartment leaving only a whirlwind of white Sparks behind.

"Ahhh…I'm back. It's just how I remember it."

He said amused while taking a look around. His smile dimmed though as his Gaze landed on a broken Projector in his Living Room.

"Hey Nephis?"

"Yes, sunny?"

Her voice was clearly nervous as she noticed him staring at the Burned Projector.

"What happened to my Projector? I remember it was really Expensive!"

"I…I don't know. It must have been a malfunction. Sometimes Those things just burst out in flames…you know?"

Sunny, clearly not convinced by her bad acting skills, let the subject go anyways. There were more important things he needed to do after all. Like planning a date. But first Nephis Had a important thing she needed to do before anything else could happen.

"Stay here, I will go grab something quick."

Quickly she ran up the Stairs to his Bedroom where she had left her Communicator. Seconds later she can sprint down the stairs giggling like a teenage Girl that just spotted her favorite Idol.

Grabbing sunny by the Arm she pulled him to her side while holding her Communicator in front of them.

"What are you doing?"

He asked not clearly not knowing what she could Possibly be plotting.

"Taking a picture of us…well mainly you but I would like to have a picture of us Together. We noticed that we haven't made Any with You In the past and I Felt guilty Because you're so important To us."

"OH…OK. Strange but I'm not the kind of guy to take a lot of Photos of myself so I guess that makes sense."

She Chuckled and held him close while grinning from one ear to the other she said.

"Now give me a smile please."

Giving her a smile was perhaps the easiest thing in the world, two worlds even, so in the end Nephis got a Beautiful Couple Selfie which she instantly saved as her Background Photo.
