Chapter Four: The Journey And Primera's Mistake!

Hikaru walked down the hallway to speak with Clef. Earlier that day Ascot come and told her that Clef had something important to say.

"There you are, 'Lantis'." Clef said, emphisizing the 'Lantis'.

"Did you find a way to cure 'Hikaru' and I?" Hikaru enthusiastically asked.

"No, but I was hoping that you two could go on a monster bust....there's a small village not far from here that I fear will soon be overrun and attacked by monsters...." Clef said, bringing her hopes down.

"We'll go." Lantis said, coming up behind Hikaru and startling her. She got her cat ears, even while in Lantis's body, for some odd reason. The master mage in front of them took notice right away.

" 'Hikaru'! Try not to startle 'Lantis' while in this state!" he ordered.

...........................................................................

Hikaru and Lantis set out on their journey to the neighbouring village not too long afterwards.

They walked in silence until Hikaru broke the eerie quiet.

"So, uh, Hikaru, how have you been? We haven't really had the chance to talk much about what we've been up to....."

"Why do you no longer wear the mirror pendant I gave you?" Lantis sadly asked, though his voice would seem emotionless in his own body, in Hikaru's one could tell that he was deeply hurt.

"Uh, L-Lantis....." Hikaru slipped, but didn't pay any attention to the name she had said. She was more worried about how Lantis was feeling....

"Tell me, Hikaru.Why?" he probed.

"Lantis. it's not the reason you're thinking! I-I just--" Hikaru was cut off by Lantis.

"You just wanted to forget about me, is that right, 'Lantis'?" Lantis coldly asked.

"N-No! Lantis, you have to beleive me! That's the last thing I wanted!" Hikaru begged him to forgive her and believe her.

"Then what DID you want, Hikaru!?" he demanded. Hikaru just looked at him in shock, tears evident in her eyes. Lantis saw what his body would look like crying.

"L-Lantis....I-I just wanted to not be reminded of C-Cephiro!" Hikaru stuttered right before running further into the forest crying.

...........................................................................

"Why-Why's Lantis g-gotta be so mean? I mean I understand that he f-feels bad, but he wouldn't....he wouldn't if he'd just listen to me....give me a chance...." Hikaru sadly thought as she stopped in front of a tree for breath and cried.

Lantis came up behind her feeling bad. He hadn't meant to make Hikaru cry....

"I-I'm sorry, Hikaru....I should have listened to what you had to say." Lantis apoligized.

"Really, Lantis?" Hikaru brightened up.

"Of course. Now....can you tell me why you no longer wear it?" Lantis calmly asked the ruby haired knight.

"Well....everytime I saw the pendant, I was reminded of Cephiro." Hikaru gloomily stated. "Then I put it in a box with other stuff from Cephiro."

"Other stuff? Such as....?" Lantis curiously asked. In Hikaru's body, he knelt down next to Hikaru with curious eyes, a facial expression that would look normal on Hikaru.

Hikaru, in Lantis's body, smiled and winked.

"You'll see some other time, Hikaru-chan!" she brightly beamed. She was about to skip off when she realized that Lantis wasn't really the type to skip and giggle and beam and stuff.

"Uh, I mean, 'Shall we be going now?'" Hikaru corrected herself to sound more like the real Lantis.

Lantis sweatdropped. "Sure, Lantis." he said dryly.

...........................................................................

After a long day of killing monsters, Lantis went out to get firewood. He had left Hikaru in a cave, the cave they were to stay in for the night, and Hikaru was just idly sitting on a log.

Then she spotted a patch of blue from right outside of the cave. She knew it wasn't the sky, the sun had just recently set.

"Oh, Lantisu!" cried Primera as she popped into the cave and glomped Lantis's body. But right away Hikaru noticed a huge difference.

"P-Primera! You're a human!" cried Hikaru.

"Don't look so surprised, Lan-chan! I just asked that guy obsessed with the water knight--Ascot--how he suddenly got so tall before, and he told me he went to Clef for a potion. So I did the same. Now my Lan-chan...." Primera was talking in a very seductive tone and now pinned Hikaru to the back wall of the cave.

"My Lan-chan, shall we now make sweet love?" Primera cooed, trying to take off the black shirt encasing Lantis's body's chest.

Hikaru was quite startled, and so she turned neko-form. "M-Mreop?" she mewed.

"Huh? Lantis, why are your ears the same as that short magic knights?" asked Primera, temporarily prying herself off of the tall figure.

"Uh, Primera, if you promise not to tell...." Hikaru began.

"Of course I won't tell! Now hurry up so that we can get to our love-making!" Primera said, impatience dripping from her words.

"Well, I AM Hikaru." Hikaru explained, inching away towards the mouth of the cave just in case Primera didn't believe her and stooped as far as rape.

"Hi-ka-ru????" Primera stared wide-eyed, but she believed what was coming from Lantis's mouth.

"Y-Yeah. But I can't really explain it....." she muttered.

"Oh my!" cried Primera. "Where's Lantis, then?!"



"Uh, getting some fi--" Hikaru was interruped by a short red-haired figure.

"Lantis!" Hikaru and Primera both cried.

"So I take it Primera already knows." Lantis face-faulted.
