Ch. 34

"Well then...Let's go..."

Rin said as we begin to walk. I tried to move my legs but I still felt a bit dizzy so they wobbled and I fell to the floor with a girly grunt. I swear the ground in this forest has to be the hardest thing I've ever felt. Bon and Rin gasped and quickly helped me up.

"Are you okay?"

Rin asked me. Bon gave him a glare since he was going to ask the question first. I wiped some dust off my shoulder and sighed.

"I-I guess so..."

I said. They gave the most depressing and sympathetic look I have ever seen and I tried my best to give them a smile so they wouldn't be sad.

"Guys, don't feel bad for me. I just-"

Che! Che!

We all turned our heads to the sound of leaves rustling in front of us. I instantly clung to the guys' necks and hid my face.

"Oh my God, what is it!?"

I yelled. The leaves moved again and Rin suddenly laid me on the ground.

"Get down!"

He screamed as I heard the sound of two sticks clashing together. I didn't have time to look at who had attacked us before I heard Bon scolding Shima. That little bastard...He acted if he didn't know anything and told us some story about being attacked by moths. Rin sighed in annoyance and helped me up again. He patted some dirt off of my shirt and frowned.

"I'm really sorry."

He said. I shook my head slowly, trying not to get dizzy again, and gave him a soft smile.

"It's okay, it's not your fault. It's Shima's!"

I yelled as I pointed at him. He brought his hands up in defense and screamed in terror.

"I didn't know! Please don't kill me!"

Bon slammed his hand over the back of his head and growled.

"Shut the fuck up will ya? You'll attract more demons idiot. Let's just go find Konekomeru. He said he found a lantern and he wants us to go meet him there so come on."

He said to us as we begin walking. Rin put his warm hand in mine and we begin walking together. I felt my face heat up by his touch and I couldn't help but look away from him to hide my blush. He didn't seem to notice though because he was focused on following Bon to wherever we were headed.

"Alright this is...whoa..."

Bon whispered as we stopped. We all went wide-eyes at the giant lantern in front of us. It was probably the size of one of those giant bank vaults.

"Well no wonder. There's no way you could've carried this back by yourself."

Shima said to the short boy. Bon crossed his arms and tilted his head.

"It looks like a peg lantern. It waits in the night for someone to come light it. Once it's lit, it starts moving around and eats living things for fuel. And it especially likes girls. It's a demon that will only stop when it runs out of fuel or when the sun comes up."

He explained to us. I felt my body tense up as I was the only girl here. Shima smirked and pointed at me and then to the lantern.

"Well Robina, I guess you're going to have let it eat you."

"Like hell I will!"

I yelled at him. I then calmed myself down and took a deep breath.

"Anyway, it looks like a teamwork kind of thing. There's no way one of us could get this giant thing back to the camp site so let's work together on this. Sadly, I left my phone to text Izumo or shiemi back at the camp. Does anybody else have their numbers?"

I asked them. They all shook their heads and Shima sighed in disappointment.

"I've tried to get Izumo's number but she keeps turning me away."

He said. I rolled my eyes at him.

"That's because you try to hard and you flirt with every girl you see. Try being romantic to her for a change."

Rin made a humming sound as he got out a note-pad from his pocket and begin writing something down. I stared at him and saw that he wrote what I just said. He quickly put it away and kept his eyes away from me. Man, I hope he's writing that for me...A girl can dream, alright!

"Umm..."

We turned our heads at Konekomeru who had his hand up like he would in a classroom. He waited for us to give him our attention before speaking.

"I think I've come up with a formation on how to move the lantern back to the site."

He moved us as he talked. He put a tag on the lantern and begin talking.

"This will keep the lantern from moving once it's lit. Then, Bon will recite the corresponding scripture since he's already got it memorized. Before we light the peg lantern, we'll need chi chi to feed it."

He gave me the flash light and continued talking.

"...so we need a constant supply of it and something to keep it from going out. That's Robina's job."

He lit a match in his hands and threw it in the fire. As soon as the light of the fire appeared, moths flew in like flies. Konekomeru and Shima begin fighting them off in front of me and he continued to explain the formation.

"Mine and Shima's job is to protect Robina from the moths that will constantly be flying towards us. Finally, the person with the most horsepower will be the one pulling the part."

That would be Rin. He gripped the bar of the wagon and his biceps and arms stretched and tightened. I actually found myself staring and drooling at the sight of it as he pushed us along. I've noticed that when you like someone, you get horny a lot when you're around them. Curse my sexual desires!

"Wow Rin, you're really strong!"

I said to him. I saw him grin slightly and he begin pushing even harder. Shima's eyes went wide as he was deflecting moths everywhere.

"Damn Okumura! What planet do you come from!?"

Rin just rolled his eyes and started running faster.

"Just come on! Let's go!"

Boom!

That was the sound of a firework. I looked up to see the familiar sparkle of one and it seemed like someone had already given up. But the question was, who? It was Izumo, Shiemi, or that puppet guy; I never cared to ask or remember his name...

"Oh shit!"

Rin yelled as he dug his heels in the dirt beneath us. If it weren't for his voice before he did that, I would have fallen out. I breathed heavily as we came to a sudden stop and the lantern was pulled back with a thud. Bon kept his chanting of the scripture but I knew he ran face-first into the stone lantern. Poor guy.

"What are we going to do about this!?"

Rin yelled. I looked over his head to see a broken bridge. I sighed under my breath and hopped off of the wagon that had the huge lantern on it. I walked over to Rin and started thinking of a way for us to get across. Shima screamed out and Rin and I jumped in surprise.

"Oh holy hell! Look down under the bridge!"

We turned our heads downward to see a river of slimy tentacle-like worms. I felt myself getting goose bumps from the horrible thing I was looking at. Like Shima, I wasn't really a bug person but I could tolerate it way better than he could.

"Oh. My. God. I think I'm gonna piss myself..."

He said as he shook in fear. Rin shrugged at him.

"Maybe you'd feel better if you did."

I shook my head and gave them both a look.

"No please don't pee yourself. You'll smell like piss for the whole night and that's just gross. And you'll probably feel even worse after you do pee yourself."

I said to them as Konekomeru nodded in agreement with a quirk of his glasses.

"She's right. Once you pee your pants, that's it. Game over."

Bon walked over to us and snatched Shima's rod thing. He stabbed it through the worms a couple of times while Shima freaked out. He gave the rod back and walked over to me; still chanting the scripture as he did.

"What do you need?"

I asked him. He couldn't say any words to me since he was chanting so he used his hands. He made a gesture of a pen writing on his hand and then specified the 'pen' part and he 'written on' part.

"Hmm...a pen and notepad?"

I asked. He clapped his hands once and smiled with a nod.

"Rin, I need your notepad and pen."

His eyes went wide and he ripped out a page in it in two seconds flat. He gave out a sigh of relief as he stuffed the page in his pocket, and then handed Bon the two things he needed. Bon wrote down a couple of things before showing us.

I know how we will do this. I'll draw it.

He took about a minute before he drew something on the piece of paper and showed it to us. Can I just say that Bon's drawings are so cute! The plan was for Konekomeru and Rin to take the cart to the other side. The worm river is shallow so Rin is going to run through it. Then, konekomeru will have the seal while Shima and I wait on the other side...with me on his shoulders!?

"Then, Bon's going to remove the seal to the lantern while I carry Robina on my shoulders through the bug swamp on the other side!?"

Shima screamed. He seemed to hate the idea just as much as me.

"The lantern will follow his favorite food, Robina, and by the time it gets here I will seal it again using the talisman."

Konekomeru said. Bon raised a thumb and nodded again.

"Whoa Suguro! Your drawings are epic!"

Rin said happily. Shima started to laugh nervously at us.

"You want me to go through that bug swamp while my head's being smushed in between Robina's thighs? I'll die before we make it."

He said as fake tears fell out of his eyes. Rin saw this as a chance and rolled his eyes.

"Fine whatever, I'll carry her over."

He said. I gasped silently and turned to him.

"Really Rin? You will?"

I asked. He gave me a grin and got on one knee.

"Sure thing. I'll keep you safe from that lantern; no sweat!"

I gave him a smile and thanked him as I shyly got on his shoulders. He gripped my legs and I wrapped my hands over his soft cheeks. They were warm so I figured he was blushing just as much as I was.

"Alright you ready? Hang on."

He told me as he lifted up slowly. I squeaked a little but I managed to keep my balance on top of him. Oh my gosh, I'm so high up! He raised his hands to my thighs as he jumped into the nasty bug swamp.

"Eww...I'm sorry you have to be in that."

I said to him. He smiled and shook his head.

"It's cool don't worry. We're all set up!"

He yelled to Konekomeru and Shima.

"Alright here he comes!"

Bon yelled to us as he stopped chanting and ripped the seal off of the lantern. It looked at me and it jumped into the river. I buried my head into Rin's neck and fear encased my body.

"Oh my God! Get us out of here Rin! Oh my God! It's coming! Ahh!"

"We're going to make it but I going to have to throw you so be ready Robina! Ready!? One...two...Jump!"

He yelled as he threw me to the bank on the other side. I landed on my feet on the soft grass and rolled out if the way. The lantern landed in the wagon in its quest to eat me, but was sealed by Konekomeru.

"We did it!"

I yelled happily. Rin was panting on the bank as I pulled him up.

"You okay? That was so awesome!"

I said to him. He smiled and took a few more deep breaths.

"Hehe yeah, I'm glad you're safe."

He told me as he leaned on the giant pillar of the bridge.

"Aww..."

I said sweetly. He laughed again but stopped when we heard a cracking noise. The bridge suddenly collapsed and the seals that were on it flew away. I gasped when the water of the bug swamp shot up. A long tentacle grabbed Rin and I and we both screamed.

"I don't want to get raped!"

I yelled.

"Me neither!"

Rin yelled as we were pulled up into the air. Just my luck...Oh well...might as well get raped together...

And that is the end of the chapter! I hope you guys liked that. It didn't have much love between her and Rin but you can tell that she definitely likes him now. And maybe he likes her too since he wrote that thing on his notepad. Oh and they might just get raped too. I guess you'll have to see next chapter lol. Anyway, please review and comment the story and tell me what you think! Thanks for giving the story a read and I will see you next time!
