"I understand everything you said, Glorias. And that's the reason your mother ran away from the vampire world, but you cannot do the sa. At least, not right now," Nyxia said calmly.
"Why not? You can return to the vampire world and tell them that you couldn't find ."
"It's not about that… Glorias. I know you don't want to leave this human behind, and you won't, no matter what happens. But he will leave you."
"Are you talking about him growing old and dying? Then that won't happen. He is not a normal human."
"I am not talking about that." Nyxia looked into Rudy's eyes and said, "This human doesn't belong here. And he has to go back."
"...!" Rias realized what Nyxia was talking about. She looked at Rudy and asked, "You have to return to your tiline?"
"Eventually… yes. I have no control over it."
"Then… what about …?"
"We will et again."
"When…?"
"...in 2008."
"That's too long!"
"I know."
"But I will wait for you!"
"Yes…" Rudy caressed Rias' face and smiled wryly at her as he said, "But it would be for the best if… if you wait for in the vampire world and not the human world."
"But you are not going back to 2008 right now. Please allow to stay here until you return."
"Rias… it's hard for to say this, but… I think Nyxia is right. You have your own life, and you have to make it right. Don't let co in your way to what you are going to achieve in the future.
Think of it as a grace ti where we both live our lives and do what we must do before eting again. And I promise you, my love… no one will ever break us apart once we et again."
Rias didn't want to agree with Rudy's words, but deep down, she knew Rudy and Nyxia were right. Besides, she couldn't bear to see the sad look in his eyes and his painful smile. She knew it was as painful for him as it was for her. And if he could endure it, she should too.
She nodded at Nyxia and said, "Okay, I am ready to co with you. Just give us a little ti to talk."
"I wish I could. I really do. But the portal can only stay open for five more minutes. I will wait outside, so please make it quick."
After saying that, Nyxia left the house and sat on the porch outside.
Rias looked into Rudy's eyes and kissed him a few tis.
"Is this what humans call a 'break-up'?" she asked with a slight smile on her face.
"We are not breaking up."
"We technically are. We won't et each other until 2008."
"Yeah…"
"I will miss you…" Rias was trying her best to hold her tears.
"I will too."
"I… don't know if I would be able to do that, though."
"I have a solution for that."
"What?"
Rudy gulped down before saying, "I will seal your mories."
"No… you can't do that."
"Just hear out." Rudy placed his hands on Rias' shoulder and looked into her eyes as he explained. "I will seal your mories, but it's not what you think."
"I think the aning itself is pretty clear. If you seal my mories, I won't rember you."
"That's what I am trying to explain. Listen, if you don't rember , you won't have to wait for . However, I don't want you to forget about . So the seal I will place on you will slowly weaken as ti gets closer to 2008."
"And I will rember everything about you in 2008, and we will et again?" Rias asked to confirm.
"Not exactly. When the ti approaches 2008, the first seal will break, but only your feelings for will return. And when that happens, you will co to look for in 2008, but you won't know anything else about .
How do I look, or where do I live? What is my na, or how old am I? How do I sound, and what are my powers? You won't rember anything, but you will know one thing, I study at a certain school in this town.
That's when I will place the second seal, which will break once you hear my na from my mouth. I will co to your house, and you will scare the shit out of . But once you learn my na, your mories about will return.
Your wait will end there. However, I won't rember anything, and I will be utterly oblivious to everything as, at that ti, I hadn't ti-traveled to 1989 yet. But you don't have to worry about that as I will fall in love with you soon.
Moreover, I will place the third seal on you that will seal your mories of everything else. And that seal will break once we kiss. How does that sound?" Rudy asked calmly.
"It's so confusing. What is the third seal for? Won't I rember everything once I learn your na?" Rias asked with a confused and curious look on her face.
"No. You will only rember , nothing else. And to rember everything else of this tiline, we will have to kiss. It's just to avoid letting you rember about my powers and stuff, as I myself wouldn't be aware of that when I first t you in 2008."
"So, in other words, I will forget about you, but I actually won't. And you are sealing my mories, so I don't cry every night and rember you and our ti together. And also to keep everything as it should be in 2008?"
"Exactly. Because ti travel is sothing, no one can understand. Turns out I ssed up in this tiline, and the 2008 tiline changed completely. So I will just have to make sure that I fixed everything before I suddenly find myself back in 2008," he chuckled softly to hide his sadness.
"Let's et again in 2008." Rias kissed Rudy on the lips and closed her eyes. "Go ahead. I am ready."
