And here's the second chapter ^_^
Chapter 24
Rin's POV
Location: somewhere in Fiore.
Aya and I stepped out of the train. We were at a really small village; I don't even know how it got big enough to even have a train station.
"Well, it's up the mountains somewhere," I said looking at her.
"Then let's go. We would like to get there before nightfall, won't we?" Aya asked and we started walking.
It was one hour and a half later, when we finally made it to the village. We had to fight a big monster that was hiding just above the village. So we went up there to check it out.
"You sure it's up here?" I asked looking at Aya. I was walking behind her. Not because I was scared, but because I still wasn't so sure about this stupid world, so she was in the lead. But I was right behind her, and I was ready to jump in front of her and protect her, if it was needed. I don't know why, but something told me that she belonged to me, so I had to protect her. I couldn't let any harm come to that beautiful face.
Suddenly Aya stopped.
"What is it?" I asked.
"I can… hear something," she whispered and I listened. I couldn't hear a thing.
"What is-" I was cut off by Aya's scream, when the monster, we were looking for, jumped out right next to her.
There was no time to think. I just had to react. I pulled out my sword and released the blue flames. Then I pushed Aya, while using the power from it to get myself forward. That was what I'd call killing two problems at once. I got closer to the monster and got Aya to safety at the same time.
"Stay behind me," I yelled to her, while I cut the monster.
It only took me a couple of minutes to finish it off, and I looked at Aya while smiling. She was sitting on the ground, and now I reached my hand out to her. She took it and let me help her up on her feet.
"That was easy," I said smiling.
"So it seems," she said, "you did good."
"Thanks," I said, and then I didn't really know what to say. I hadn't really given her a chance to fight.
We were silent for a while until I heard a sound behind me, but then Aya yelled at me, so the sound got in the background.
"LOOK OUT!" she yelled and pushed me aside. I felt my body fall to the ground, and when I turned again, I saw her cut down another monster. It had been standing right behind me. That was when I realized, that if she hadn't noticed the monster, I could've been dead meat by now.
"That was awesome!" I said, as she finished it off.
Now it was her turn, to reach out her hand and I grabbed it and let her pull me up. She had a bit more strength, than I thought and I tried to help her by making me lighter, and that was when I suddenly felt something against my lips…
It took around ten seconds, before I realized it was Aya's lips against mine, and in the same time she realized the same, cause we quickly jumped away from each other.
"Let's go check for more monsters," she said blushing.
"Good idea," I said feeling my cheeks turn red as well.
