Hey everyone this is my first SCryEd fic ever, I hope that you like it.

Summary: When Mimori has had enough of Ryuho's threats to go back to the mainland and his disclaiming love for her, she takes a walk outside the city and ends up being attacked. She is saved by none other than Kazuma. When Mimori starts to hang around with Kazuma, will Ryuho just let it be or will he reveal his true feelings towards her?

It was another eventful day at HOLY headquarters. All of the members were either eating in the cafeteria or leaving to carry out the assignments that were given to them. All was well except for an argument that was occurring in the dormitories, one in particular, the dormitory that belonged to Mimori Kiryu.

"I want you to return to the mainland," a cold harsh voice said. "You do not belong here."

"I'm not leaving, I may not have any alter power but I do my share of work around here," a female said calmly, yet with a hurt and anger in her voice.

"Miss Kiryu, there are other members at HOLY that are more than capable at taking you place."

Mimori looked down, her bangs shadowing the hurt in her eyes. "Do you really not want me here that badly, Ryuho?" she said in a hushed voice.

"That is correct." Ryuho answered her with his cold monotonous voice.

For a few moments all that was present was an eerie silence. Feeling uncomfortable with the silence, Mimori looked up at Ryuho with unshed tears in her eyes. "You may hate me and want me to leave, but I will not abandon my duties here at HOLY." she sternly said to him.

"So be it." He turned to walk out of her dormitory. "But be warned Miss Kiryu, you will return to the mainland one way or another." At that he left her dormitory to return to his duties.

All Mimori could do was sit on her bed and try to hold back the unshed tears that were threatening to come out. "Why do you hate me so much Ryuho?" she thought to herself. "Why did you have to change so much?" She couldn't take it anymore; she had to go take a walk somewhere. She didn't know where, just anywhere so that she can be away from there.

Mimori had been walking for hours. She did not realize how far from the city that she had walked. Ahead of her she saw what looked like to be some broken down buildings. To her it just seemed to be some sort of abandoned town. She then decided to find somewhere to sit down so that she can rest from all the walking that she had done.

"I wish that Ryuho and I could be as we were when we were younger," she half heartedly said to herself. "We were so happy and carefree when we were together."

She just sighed and sat there for a few more minutes. After she felt that she was well rested enough, she decided to start making her way back to the city. As she got up to stretch, she heard some noises coming from one of the broken down buildings. She looked around for a few moments. Deciding that it was nothing she started to walk back the way she came. But before she walked very far, she heard the noises again. Mimori then turned around and started to look around again.

"Hello is there anyone there?" she said with a little hint of fear in her voice.

"Oh look she's scared." A voice said from the shadow of the building.

"Who's there?" Mimori said in a somewhat high voice.

"She's a pretty one isn't she?" another one exclaimed.

"Who are you, show yourself." Mimori at this point was starting to panic.

Out of the shadows two men appeared. They appeared to be young, around the age of twenty. One of them had shaggy black hair, with sharp looking hazel eyes. He wore sneakers, ripped blue jeans, and a white T-shirt. The other man had shoulder length blond hair with icy blue eyes. He also wore sneaker and ripped blue jeans. But instead of a white T-shirt, he wore a red one.

Mimori started to take small backward steps to try and put as much distance between them as she possibly could. She could tell by the glint in their eyes that they were not very friendly. She decided to turn and run. But unfortunately she didn't get very far. Both of the men turned out to be alter users and at that moment they had summoned their alters to block Mimori from going anywhere.

"You think that you can get away from us?" the blond inquired in an amusing manner.

"You both are alter users." Mimori said as she turned to them with shock. She knew that there were native alters out there, but she didn't think that she would run into any where she was.

The blonde's alter looked that of a dragon. Its scales were the color on onyx, and it had red streaks on the cheeks, arms, and legs. The wings had an extension at about ten feet in length and had red outlines. It had ruby colored eyes and razor sharp claws.

The other man's alter looked more like an assassin. It had on what looked like to be some form of a male's kimono. It was dark blue and it had a sash that covered half its face. All that could be seen were is piercing dark purple eyes. On one side it had a sword latched to its sash, and on the other side it had an assortment of daggers.

Mimori was stuck. She had two alters in front of her and the two alter users in back of her. She wanted to run again. But she wouldn't get very far; they would catch up to her in a matter of seconds. She started to think of another method of getting away, but she had no time. At that moment the two alter users ordered their alters to go after her.

She closed her eyes and put her arms up in a defensive position, as to somehow block the attack that was coming towards her. But none came.

"SHOCKING FIRST BULLET!" a man yelled out.

Mimori cautiously opened her eyes to see what was going on. To her surprise the two alters that were going to attack her were no longer there. In there place stood a man, but this one she recognized. It was the native alter that had escaped HOLY Headquarters. It was NP3228, Kazuma the Shell Bullet.

The other two men decided to run, due to the fact that they had no means of defending themselves.

"COWARDS!" Kazuma yelled to the two retreating men. He then turned around to face Mimori. "Are you alright? You know that it's not safe for someone like you to just wander around in a place like this."

"Yes, I'm alright thank you for helping me Kazuma," she said to him as she gave him a sincere smile.

He quirked up an eyebrow. "How do you know my name?"

"You really don't remember me?" she asked in disbelief. "I was the one who you used as a hostage when you were escaping HOLY Headquarter, remember?"

Kazuma put a hand up to his chin as the events of that day started to replay in his mind. "Oh ya, now I remember," he said quite proud of himself. In fact, the only reason that he actually rememberd it was because of the look on Ryuho's face when he grabbed her. "So what are you doing way out here?"

"I just needed to take a walk to clear my head." Even though what she said was partially true, she didn't want to talk about the events that had occurred between her and Ryuho earlier that day.

They just sat there and talked for a few hours. She had asked him about the different types of native alter users that were out there, and how his life was living in the Lost Grounds. She had also found out that Kazuma lived and cared for a girl named Kanami. In turn he had asked her what her job was at HOLY. She told him all that she could about her research and studies without revealing anything confidential. It was getting pretty late so Mimori decided that she should start heading back towards the city.

"Well Kazuma, I had a pleasant time talking with you, but I have to start heading back towards the city before it gets too late," she said as she stood up and dusted off her pants.

"It's not safe for you to walk by yourself," he stated to her. "I'll take you as far as the border of the city, but that's as far as I'll go."

"I understand, and I thank you," she said happily with a smile upon her face.

After they finally reached the city, Mimori turned to Kazuma as to give him her thanks. "Thank you Kazuma for escorting me this far." She bowed in thanks.

"Nah, don't worry about it," he said as he waved his hand at her. "Just next time when you decide to venture off again, make sure that you have someone with you."

"I'll remember that, so will be able to meet again?" she asked with great curiosity.

"Uh… sure, if you want," Kazuma said with a hint of surprise in his voice. "How bout tomorrow I show you around the Lost Grounds, there's not much to see but there are some nice places to visit?"

"I'd like that very much."

"So how does ten o'clock sound?"

"That's fine, good night Kazuma." She gave him one last bow and headed back into the city.

"See ya." Kazuma turned to go back to the place where he lived. But unknowing to him an awaiting Kanami was waiting for him, to scold him for missing yet again another day of work.
