L-Lavi? Oh holy macaroni! Sharks! Lavi is surrounded by sharks! I frantically raced up to the shore, ignoring the pain that stung my ankles. Lavi was sitting in the center of his surfboard, his eyes were wide open, avoiding getting his feet touched by the waters. When I was at the shore, I stopped to catch my breath. I huffed for air. The pain in my ankles grew more, blood was escaping from the torn cloth that was meant to keep the blood from pouring any further. I turned my cap around, took off my shoes, rolled up my pants, and ran into the water. The salted waters stung my wound, but I continued to move on. I kept going until the water was up to my waist. Then I took a dive. Yes, I know how to swim, Mana taught me.

"A-Allen?" Lavi sputtered.

I was a yard away from him, at this point I might be able to distract the sharks.

"Lavi, get away now while I distract them!" I shouted.

I swam closer, then the shark fins that were circling him headed towards me.

"Allen, what are you doing?" Lavi yelled, a worried look plastered his face.

"Lavi, get away! Now!"

I then turned into a different direction and started to paddle for my life. Okay, this is pretty stupid, I should at least thought of a way to get rid of the sharks like kill a rabbit and throw the meat into the water. But there's a problem with that plan, there's no rabbit in the beach. Okay, okay, I could have killed a load full of fish, although that will take a long time to do and Lavi might likely get eaten by the time I fished enough. So that one's out. So I should sacrifice myself in order to save Lavi. Hey, not what I planned for really, I mean I did have hopes and dreams to accomplish. But look on the bright side, God would bless me when I save someone and I'll enter heaven, plus master would be happy to get rid of me. And I would be happy to get rid of him, that womanizer drunkie.

And what makes me think that I would likely die from this attempt? Well, sharks are fast swimmers, especially when they smell blood in the water, and my ankle is bleeding a lot. So here I am, trying to swim away from 6, no, 8 sharks who are chasing me. Gosh, I wish I had swim more often.

"Allen!"

"Gah!" I spurted, water bits entered my mouth.

The salty substance that held many dirty sea animal feces and urine was in my mouth, that's just great…

Then suddenly my legs became numb, I couldn't move anymore! I…I was somewhat paralyzed. I splashed the waters with my arms, trying to stay above the water. Then the shark fins came closer and closer and closer…

Lavi's POV

"No! Allen!" I shouted.

Allen fainted. Her body was bobbing out of the water while her back exposed to the air.

What the hell was she trying to do? And why did she want me to get away from dolphins?

Author's note: Yes, those fins that Allen thought belonged to sharks actually belonged to dolphins. I would have stopped here for cliffhanger, but then the chapter would be to short, now would it?

I leaped into the water and swam over to Allen's motionless body. Why the hell did she do that? Did she forget that her ankle was wounded? Allen was in no condition at all. I swam even faster, the dolphins were now toying her by pushing her further into the water.

When I finally got to her, I grabbed her arm and flung it around my neck. Then I pulled her body to my back and swam back to my board. The dolphins swam up to me, pestering me with their high squeals.

"Jeez, don't you guys ever shut up?" I grumbled.

The dolphins' replies were more squeals. I was getting a major headache from this. Jeez.

When I was close enough to my board, I laid Allen on it and pushed it back to the shore. Her ankle, for some reason, stopped bleeding. I was getting worried whether or not it was getting infected. I just hoped that her guardian isn't someone who would be overly protected of their kids, like how Komui is to his sister, Lenalee.

When I was able to make contact with the sand floor with my foot, I lifted Allen up (bridal style) and pushed my board. Then I walked over to my clothes, laid them out, and laid Allen on them.

"Hey Allen," I softly called to her, "Allen,"

Her expression was the same, unmoving. Panic filled in me, what was I going to do? Is she dead? Trying to suppress the unnecessary thoughts, I pressed her stomach with small force, then a streak of water escaped the corner of her mouth. Relief washed over me, I pressed harder but nothing happened.

"Oh no, holy shit, holy mother of fucking shits. What the hell am I going to do?" I cursed.

Should I slap her? It's worth a try. I struck her cheek, but nothing happened still! I did several attempts, nothing. Her cheek was now swollen. I cursed under my breath even more.

"AHH! What the hell am I going to do now?" I cried out.

I didn't want Allen to die, she was really special to me. Then an idea popped out of my head.

I leaned really close to her face, I blushed at the thought of this but there's no other choice now, is there? I took a deep breath, stared at her pale face, then crashed my lips with hers. Her lips tasted salty due to the seawater, yet really soft. I blew air into her mouth, engulfed more air after departing her lips, and did the same routine again. Then I heard a murmur.

"Mmm, hmm?"

I should have realized at first, but I was so concerned on blowing air into Allen that I had no idea that she was awake. It wasn't long until she struck a blow on my stomach with her super powered fist.

"GAH! LAVI! WHAT THE HECK!"

"Hehehe, w-welcome back Allen,"
