From What Could Have Been to What Is

Premise: After the series ends, Yusuke still dreams of finding a way to get to Midori. By sheer determination, he discovers it. However, things for these two are never easy... M/F

Yusuke wasn't a great man by any means. While he was bishonen, that was about all he had going for him. In the winter after Midori returned to her own time, the baka trio ended up burning the Konone academy to the ground. Yusuke was transferred to a public school in Japan where he completed high school. Although none of the baka trio was with him, only one person was from before then: Futaba. While the two of them were friends, neither could bring themselves to become lovers.

Yusuke was in a sake bar that evening, drowning his sorrows in cheap liquor. The bartender then asked him why he was trying to drink himself to death.
"I h-h-ad this girl, shee. Shee really loved m-me." Yusuke slurred. "Buh I wasn't sh-shure we could be h-happy. It wash my shupiditee that forced h-h-her to go."
"She won't see you, hmm? Well, time will heal all wounds." The bartender replied.
"Sh-shee shtill loved me! Sh-she returned to the few-future." Yusuke replied.
"Hmm... If she came back into the past, perhaps there may be a way to get you to the future." The bartender said.
That set a light bulb off in Yusuke's mind. He could simply go to the future
Yusuke decided to go back to the site of the academy and try to find a way to go to Midori's time. Yusuke saved and worked hard, but he was able to afford to journey out to the place once again. It took him three years to save enough money to buy a ticket out there.

Once there, however, he had no trouble finding the tree where Midori went back to the future. Yusuke tried feeling up the tree, but could not get it to activate. Yusuke was downhearted that this happened. He desperately wanted to be with Midori again. In the time since the school closed, he thought long and hard about what he had and lost.
"So you're back here." A voice said behind Yusuke. He spun around to see Dr. Chigusa there.
"Chigusa-sensei!" Yusuke said in astonishment.
"I had a feeling you'd return someday. I've been watching out for you." Dr. Chigusa said.
"Can you activate the time machine?" Yusuke asked.
"Of course I can. However, I have to ask why I should." Dr. Chigusa replied. "You and Midori didn't seem to get along when you two were here."
"I was blind about things. It wasn't until near the end when I really saw the light. You never know just how good love is until you lose it." Yusuke said. Dr. Chigusa then placed her hand on the tree, and the portal to the future opened.
"Go. But be warned: Things may not be exactly as you want them." Dr. Chigusa said.
"I'm willing to take that chance." Yusuke said. He then jumped into the portal.

Midori Chitose was a very unhappy girl since returning to the future. In the year 2900, faced with severe overpopulation and a need to stem the growth in China, the Chinese government did a radical thing: they armed every able-bodied person they had to spare and told them to go conquer the world. They easily overwhelmed Japan, and then took over the USA. Their tactics left the defenders no time to scramble nuclear weapons. They ran rampant all over the world, and it finally ended when they were stopped in the arctic winter of Iceland. Bejing ended up with all of the Asian continent and North America under its control. They brutally repressed the rights of others, especially the Americans.

In this world, Midori was sentenced by the government in Beijing to life of hard labor for unauthorized use of a time machine, Midori spent 12 hours each day digging in the Gobi desert to lay telecommunications wires and pipe. Yusuke arrived in this world not knowing what had happened.

"You! Over there! You are out of uniform!" A policeman shouted. He then rushed over and tackled Yusuke. He then handcuffed Yusuke and roughed him up some. Despite Yusuke's pleas, the policeman never told him what was going on. Yusuke was never informed as to what was going on.

When he was hauled before a kangaroo court, the judge lectured him no end.
"You were out of uniform and found carrying currency of the old order! This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable! I have no choice but to sentence you to life in the Gobi labor camp! Case closed." The judge admonished Yusuke. Yusuke tried to explain himself, but every time he tried to speak, he was struck in the head with a nightstick by the bailiff. They then took Yusuke to the camp.

Once there, he saw that men and women were strictly segregated. However, out in the broiling sun, he was forced to work digging telecommunications ditches. On his first day, he saw Midori doing the same. The guard responded with a nightstick to the head.
"Get back to work you lazy criminal!" The guard shouted. Yusuke did as he was told.

That evening, Yusuke somehow managed to sneak over to the women's camp. There he saw Midori. She looked malnourished, but recognized Yusuke when she saw him.
"Yusuke-kun, What are you doing here?" Midori asked.
"I was wrong about everything, Midori-chan. I know that I was the one keeping us unhappy. Can you ever forgive me?" Yusuke asked. Tears filled Midori's eyes.
"Yusuke-kun... You and I are fated to be miserable together. Is that really what you want for us?" Midori asked.
"Yes, because life without you is much worse than with you. No relationship is perfect, but we can face any hardships together." Yusuke said.

As fate would have it, a troop of European Union soldiers had lost their way in the Gobi but found the forced labor camp. They decided to attack and liberate the prisoners. They bombed the barbed wire-lined wall, destroying it. Yusuke grabbed Midori's hand.
"Now's our chance! Come on!" He said. They ran out of the place and out into the desert. However, when they were about 100 meters away from the camp, the camp's directors activated the self-destruct. The resulting explosion threw Midori and Yusuke like rag dolls, and knocked them out.

When Midori came to, she found herself in a military ambulance. Lying next to her was Yusuke.
"Are you Chitose Midori?" A voice asked in a thick British accent.
"Yes... Where am I?" Midori asked.
"You and your friend here were very fortunate. We rescued you two from the forced labor camp. Very few of you made it out alive." The voice replied. Midori then looked up and saw that it was a corporal in the European army.
"You are on your way to the hospital in Minsk. However, I do have some bad news..." He said.
"What is it?" Midori asked.
"Both of your legs were severed and burned up in the explosion. The same goes for your friend's arms. We'll grow you a new set once we've arrived in Minsk." The corporal said.
"Yusuke and I have traveled in time." Midori replied. She knew that would cause problems in limb regrowth. The corporal stared grim-faced at her.
"That could be a problem, Ms. Chitose." He said.
"I am aware of that, soldier. Yusuke is not, however..." Midori said. She asked that she be the one to tell Yusuke what had happened. They agreed to this.

Just as they arrived in Minsk, Yusuke woke up, and Midori told him what had happened. Yusuke seemed a bit downhearted at first.
"Well, I may not be able to hold you in my arms anymore, but I still love you, Midori-chan." Yusuke said.
"I still love you as well, Yusuke-kun." Midori replied. The two of them got close to each other. Midori put her arm around Yusuke and they kissed once again.

At the hospital, they were unable to grow new limbs for them. Midori would be confined to artificial legs while Yusuke would have to use robotic arms. They had to spend several years in therapy. She had to learn how to walk again, and he had to learn how to use his arms again. In the interim, Yusuke and Midori were hired as translators. While a lot of stuff in Japanese escaped Japan when China invaded, few people who spoke the language did. Much of the stuff Yusuke and Midori were given to translate was computerized web sites, manga and anime.

The road to recovery was long, hard and filled with frustration. There were several times when both of them felt as if they couldn't take anymore. About four months into the therapy, Midori fell while trying to walk holding a bar for support. Yusuke tried to catch her, but could not. Midori ended up lying on top of Yusuke. She started to cry.
"I can't do this. I'm just no good at it!" She sobbed.
"Midori-chan, don't give up now. You can do this. I tell you what: when you can walk again, we'll spend that evening doing what you want." Yusuke said. A few weeks later, Midori made the same promise to Yusuke, saying she'd do what he wanted for an evening if he didn't give up.

It was about seven months after they had arrived in Minsk that they were released from therapy. Yusuke took Midori out to dinner to celebrate, as she wanted. That evening, they dressed nice and went to a local restaurant. Vodka flowed freely and by the end Midori and Yusuke had finished a fifth of the stuff. They were very wasted when they got to their apartment.

"Yushuke-kun, I ca-can't feel the fl-floor." Midori said. Both of them were hanging onto each other for support. They staggered into the bedroom, where Midori fell on the bed. She Was holding onto Yusuke still, and he ended up next to her with his head next to her panties. Yusuke couldn't stop himself; he moved her panties aside and placed his tongue on her gash. Midori was a bit surprised at first, but moaned softly as Yusuke licked and teased her clit.
"Mmm... Yesssssssssssss...." Midori moaned. She spread her artificial legs wide and let Yusuke eat her pussy out. Midori removed her top and then unbuttoned Yusuke's shirt. Yusuke stopped eating her pussy long enough for them to undress completely, and then resumed giving head. Midori told Yusuke to turn around so she could return his oral, and he eagerly complied. Midori eagerly took Yusuke's cock into her mouth and started sucking it. Both ends of this 69 drove the other wild with desire. Yusuke and Midori moaned as they gave and got head. Both of them often wanted to have sex with the other, but just couldn't bring themselves to demand it. Had Midori not been so drunk, she probably would have felt all the cramping and bleeding she was experiencing. She was also pretty vocal with her pleasures. Anyway, The two of them continued their 69 for a good while. Midori couldn't get enough of his tongue; it seemed to dance in her pussy like a pro. Yusuke also loved the feel of Midori's soft tongue on his hard on. Neither one of them wanted this to stop. However, Yusuke turned around and shoved his tool deep inside Midori's wet hole.

"Ooh.. I feel you deep inside me... It feels so great!" Midori gasped. Midori squeezed as hard as she could, and made both of them feel wonderful. Yusuke started ramming her hard and fast, making Midori moan even more.
Midori didn't seem to notice the blood mixed in with the love juice coming out of her, probably due to being so drunk. Yusuke didn't notice it either. In his case, not only was he stinking drunk as well, but he also was concentrating on fucking Midori hard. They did a few positions, but Midori seemed to like the western missionary the best. That's the position she was in when Yusuke came hard. She achieved her climax a moment later. She screamed as she creamed all over Yusuke's pole. Afterwards, the two held each other close and fell asleep that way.

"Phew... What's that smell?" Yusuke asked as he woke up. Midori woke up at the same time, and smelled the same thing. Then both of them felt very sick. They went to the bathroom together and threw up into the toilet. Only after this did Midori and Yusuke realize they were naked.
"Oh God... Did we...?" Yusuke asked.
"I don't remember either, Yusuke-kun." Midori replied. Yusuke was worried now; what if he got her pregnant? What if he hurt her last night? Will she leave me because of this? These thoughts and more raced through his head.
"I'm so sorry, Midori-chan. I never meant to hurt you..." Yusuke said.
"It's just as much my fault as yours." Midori replied.
"What if you got pregnant...?" Yusuke asked.
"I... can't get pregnant. The accident that severed my legs also rendered me unable to conceive." Midori said. "I was afraid to tell you."
"It's all right, Midori-chan. I don't mind that. I'm just worried that this will break us up." Yusuke said.
"I'd never leave you, Yusuke-kun." Midori replied. They then held each other close, and knew that everything would be fine... for now, at least.

Their life together was up and down, mostly down. Most of the bad times really served to make their relationship stronger. Usually, finances and health were the primary problems. Usually once they were back on their feet, some problem would crop up and send them back into debt. While they never got enough money to marry, they did live together in blessed misery.
