Hey all! Here's your update for today! :D

"Kaito!" Rio shouted with a smile.

"Yeah?"

"Where are Gauche and the rest?" She asked.

"I…" Kaito stopped for a minute and thought about it, "I don't know."

"Let's go look for them."

"Yeah"

The two landed as they geared up and ran back to the camp spot.

"Hello?" Rio called out.

"Gauche!" Kaito called out.

"Droite?" Rio exclaimed.

"Where did those three go?" Kaito asked.

"They shouldn't have gone very far. I mean, they did leave all the stuff here. Not like they were going to ditch us… well, hopefully."

"Hopefully…"

"Where can those three gone?"

"How long were we gone?"

Rio thought about it, "I don't know… hey." She said as she walked towards the rocks she was sitting at before.

"Wait Rio!" Kaito said as he followed the girl to the shore.

Rio jumped behind the rocks.

"What are you doing?" Kaito asked the girl.

"This is why." She said as she picked up three swords off the ground.

"Aren't those…"

"Yup… know I wonder why…"

'Why would they leave them…?' "Unless…" Kaito began.

"You don't think they were taken?" Rio asked him.

"I… I don't know…" Kaito said as he walked over to her and took one of the swords.

She placed the rest down, "What are you doing Kaito?"

"Looking for clues…" He said as he observed the case of the sword carefully.

Rio watched him closely as he observed it closely. She then felt an uneasy feeling. "Nani?" she asked herself aloud, she blinked a couple times and looked.

Kaito narrowed his eyes as he looked at her, "What's wrong?"

"I… it's nothing." Rio said as she placed a hand on her shoulder. She then widened her eyes, "Get down!" she exclaimed as she pushed Kaito down as something grabbed her into the air.

"Rio!" Kaito exclaimed.

"Kaito-kun!" she squealed as the monster growled in return.

"Rio-" Kaito stopped as a screen popped in front of him. "Nani…" He read what was on the screen, "… dragon?!"

"Kaito-kun!" She screamed as the dragon's grip tightened around her and flew quickly towards Kaito.

"Hold on Rio!" Kaito exclaimed as his wings appeared and he jumped into the air and joined the deathly pale dragon into the air. It opened its wing and Kaito saw its light blue veins glow brightly as once again, it tightened its grip on the girl.

"Kaito!" Rio yelled in pain as the dragon squeezed tighter. Kaito began to see clearly what was going on, it was absorbing her life source. He saw her body began to slowly fade and.

"Rio!" He cried out as he quickly drew his sword, 'Seitōna dragon!" Kaito exclaimed as he heard another roar. A dragon came out of the skies and flew into his sword. Kaito quickly lunged at the dragon as a yellow aura surrounded him. The sword pierced through the dragon's skin. The dragon let out a mighty cry before it exploded causing a massive shockwave of air to be blasted at Kaito, throwing him off and landing himself into the water. Rio's body plunged into the water (well duh, gravity) as the water turned a bright blue. "Rio!" Kaito called as he regained his composure and swam into the water.

Kaito looked around in the water and saw the girl quickly sinking into the depths below. He sped a little faster as he grabbed the girl and made his way back to the surface. "Gah!" he exclaimed as he took a deep breath of air. "Rio!" he exclaimed as he shook the girl. Her body was still fading and glowing. She slowly opened her eyes.

"Kaito-kun…" she breathed weakly.

"Rio… don't you dare leave me again!"

"Mizu no raifu hojū." She said weakly.

"Nani?"

The water currents started to swirl around Rio as it soon enveloped her and lifted her up into the air.

"R-Rio!" he said as he watched.

The orb glowed brightly and soon it vanished away causing the girl to slowly fall into Kaito's arms.

"Rio!" He said as he carried her back to shore. She was no longer glowing at the very least.

She slowly opened her eyes, "Hey Kaito."

"You… baka! Stop risking your life."

"For someone whose life I just saved, you're being very nice about it." She muttered.

"Well, that was an unwise and very hasty action that could had been avoided if-"

She hugged him tightly causing him to stop, "Be quiet… I didn't want to lose you and you know that."

"Don't you know that I don't want to lose you either?" Kaito asked.

Rio smiled, "Yes I do."

"Besides, I saved your life as well."

"What was that anyways?" Rio asked.

"Life absorbing dragons, best to be avoided by. They're very sneaky and can kill you in a minute by draining your life source, but they are very weak."

"How do you-"

Kaito swiped his hand as a screen appeared.

"Cool"

He scrolled tapped the second monster in there and showed her the data profile.

"Lucky us…"

"Very lucky… that was only a baby too."

"A baby?" Rio asked as her eyes widened.

"Yes, I would hate to meet a full grown one."

"Me too." Rio said in agreement.

"Where did you learn that spell?" Kaito asked.

Rio swiped her hand and went to her profile, "It says I'm in the healing group so… yeah. The spell came to me naturally though."

"Oh…"

"How about you?"

Kaito shrugged as he headed to his profile, "Undetermined."

"Oh… the monsters are starting to appear."

"This means we need to keep an eye out for the monsters."

"If that one was bad… I'm scared to find out what's coming next."

"I won't let any of them get you, promise." Kaito said with a half-smile half smirk.

Rio blushed as she smiled at him and hugged him, "I wonder what happened to the rest of the group…"

"Yeah… me too…" Kaito said as he stared out at the ocean and gently stroked Rio's hair.

"Hey Kaito-kun, get your hands off of Rio!"

Kaito and Rio both jerked their heads and saw the familiar friend of theirs. Rio's smile widened as she ran towards the person and wrapped him into a hug.

"I'm not taking orders from you."

"Then keep your hands off of her." He said as he narrowed his deep blue eyes at the blonde.

End of the chapter! Sorry for the little quality and that it's so little. "Mizu no raifu hojū" means water life replenish, to those who may have been confused. Anyways, what happened to the group? Who just appeared? I think I gave enough clues to know who it is. All will be- wait, that's not true… some things will be revealed! Hehe, works better. Review everyone! :D
