(Open Author's Note) A/N: I feel VERY weird/strange writing this...I'm often inspired by MANY RPG's...But never normally am THIS inspired! But I'll do my best! *smiles* I'll put translation stuff underneath the chappy in the A/N later on =D (Close Author's Note).

I am steadily doing more and more fanfics/stories within VERY DIFFERENT realities/fandoms...Lemme know if you want me to try one! (I mean...Can't help to ask right!? =D) -.- Real slick there JLA...REAL clever...lol.

Clouds that are mixed with grey and slight tinges of red fill the skies. The water itself seems to reflect the moonlight as a lone sourceress walks towards the Adventurer's Guild...

The time is: 22:55pm...

Chapter 1: Lost...

Megumin walked into the Adventurer's Guild doing her best to keep her staff away from anyone in case she hit someone. That time when she hit Aqua over the head - Thus knocking out the Water Goddess was NOT expected...NEITHER was having her meal supplies CUT down to SMALL portions thanks to the medic...Either the healer or Kazuma...She wanted to blame Kazuma...But he had grown on her. She had NO idea how...But he had. Something about his bluntness was fun to watch.

If it wasn't directed-

"Oi! Loli!"

At her.

Megumin grumbled as she turned to the table were, like normal, Kazuma was waving to her. He had the BIGGEST smile on his face. 'What now?' She thought in defeat. 'I hope its nothing TOO drastic! I DRAW THE LINE AT DANCING in the NOD! NO, NO, NO!' She mentally screamed before hitting into Darkness...

Darkness glanced at the younger girl and sighed. "Look where you're going"

Megumin sighed. "Yeah, yeah" She sat down across from Kazuma which was when a certain blue haired girl walked up behind her. She knew it was Aqua because Kazuma looked away and sighed.

"Megumin"

Megumin looked down and sighed again. "Yeah?"

Aqua's hands instantly were on Megumin's shoulders, sending ice cold shivers down her spine...The not so friendly type of cold either. It had been EXTREMELY HOT outside...So...Change in tempreture had her slump and her head hit the table. "Ugh..."

Aqua's giggling voice irritated Megumin but she somehow...And she really did mean SOMEHOW ignore it. Megumin felt some tears forming in her eyes when she heard Darkness and Aqua talking.

"Seriously Aqua, you have to let up on Megumin sometime! Its not fair to keep doing this is it?"

"But I love it! And 'sides, she sent me to hospital! Me! Hospital? Can you imagine it?!"

Kazuma's voice was next:

"Leave her alone. Both of you."

"Or what? You'll hurt me?"

Kazuma growled as he looked at Megumin. "I don't want too cause you any pain that is un-nessary okay?"

Aqua's teasing voice got to Megumin in seconds. "REALLY? You think you can take me on? Then just try it! I'll have you! I don't care about Heaven or whatever now! Bring it!"

Before Kazuma could stand up, Megumin started to get to her feet. "Shut up..." She whispered.

Aqua pretended not to hear her. "What was that? You're going to have to speak up, I can't HEAR YOU! She must have a tiny voice or something...I CAN'T HEAR SMALL PEOPLE!"

Megumin turned around EXTREMELY slowly, her eyes were closed as she felt more and more anger corse through her veins. "What did you say?" She mutters almost under her breath, her body (although small) starts to shake...Anger levels getting DANGEROUSLY towards their limits.

Kazuma stands up and walks to them so that he is stood not in front of them but to Megumin's left side and Aqua's right.

"Enough, alright? Enough. Calm down. Both of you"

Aqua laughs at Kazuma just as Megumin twirls her staff and slams it into Aqua's side, forcing the Water Goddess (Should I call her 'lady' instead of Goddess? xD) onto the floor in pain. Kazuma looking at her. "MEGUMIN!"

Megumin looks to him, her anger still there but not quite as high.

"This is WRONG! FIGHTING is NOT permitted in this guild! Go!" He points to the door. "Take a walk! RIGHT NOW! Come back when you're calm! MOVE!"

Megumin looks at her hands and then to him again. "B-B-But I-"

Kazuma shakes his head. "NO!" He grabs ahold off her staff before she can react and places it behind himself. "You ar from explosion magic until you apologise to Aqua!"

Megumin's expression changes to one of shock/horror mixed with a begging expression. "NO! Anything but that! PLEASE! I BEG YOU!"

Kazuma shakes his head again. "Its not me you have to ask" He nods at Aqua who is still clutching her side in pain, Kazuma looks to her. "You cast a spell on an end off this staff didn't you?"

Megumin looks at him with shock in her eyes. "ARE YOU NUTS!? I'd NEVER do such a thing! Give me that staff back! I-"

Kazuma sighs and looks at her dead in her red eyes, causing her to stop moving altogether. "Megumin. I didn't EVER want to say this..." He sighs again and lets go off the staff, it hits the floor but before Megumin could get it, he puts his foot on it. Preventing her from getting it up again.

He closes his eyes. "Darkness. Take Aqua to the medic's...She won't want to hear this" Darkness nods without question and gets to Aqua's side in a flash, helping her to the medic's on the other side of the Guild.

He opens his eyes when he couldn't hear Darkness and his green eyes lock onto Megumin's ruby red ones. He smiles in melancholy and reaches in his pocket. "Megumin. Everyone can hear this in the guild...Can you?"

He looks to the patrons who just nod, he looks back to her who was starting to cry in rivers. She knew what he was about to say...Or it looked that way.

He took in a deep shaky breath. "I'm sorry Megumin...I'm going to have to ask you to leave the group."

Megumin's eyes widen while the entire guild went quiet - Even the medic's and the drinks. Did...Kazuma...Just say what they THOUGHT he did!?

Megumin (almost as though telepathically knowing what they wanted to ask him) etched to the door and backed herself against the door. "K...K...K...Kazuma? Wh...Why? I thought we were friends..."

Kazuma looked down with sadness in his own eyes - Something that Megumin had not seen from him...They looked...Sad, yes, but also...Regretful?

"I'm sorry Megumin" He slowly picked up her staff and walked over to her. "Your recent behaviour...Coupled with the dangerous antics you've been doing..." He placed the staff into her hands with a bag off coins. "I can't keep you in the group anymore. This should be enough to get you to the capital at least. Costs around 10k right?"

Megumin, in floads of tears by now, nodded very slowly.

Kazuma smiled warmly at her as their eyes met again. "There's 2 mill there. Find yourself a good group, I mean, who knows? We might see each other again." He slowly closed the gap between them, kissing her on the cheek, making her go bright red. "Its a big world out there Megumin. I gave you another skill with that...kiss"

He slowly opened the door, feeling the cold on his skin he looked at his green cloak and took it off (Shocking the patrons again) and put it on her shoulders. Making sure she was warm. "I'll be seeing you. Goodbye Megumin"

Kazuma looked in the direction of were Aqua and Darkness were sounding like they were getting ready to come back to where they were. Kazuma turned his attention to the moonlight and closed his eyes, heading out into the cold town. "I'll keep an eye out for you!" He smiled as he went towards the mansion.

Megumin walked out off the guild as well - Heading in a different direction. Looking at were Kazuma was heading, he looked back at her as well.

Both of them said three words to each other which stunned a lot of people (Darkness and Aqua didn't hear them though =p):

"I love you!

Loli - As far as I know it can have multiple meanings (Gotta love the Japanese :3) but I used it in this one to mean - Little Kid. LOVED it when Kazuma used it on her in the series! THAT WAS FUNNY! ;D

ANYWAY, See ya! ;)
