Me: o.o I'm hated by a lot of people..... xD I didn't mean for it to be a cliff hanger. And everyone's yelling at me because I put freaking Blackrose in there......SHE'S SUCH A PAIN! Even in the game! Geesh! You'll just have to find out! Although She's probably going to lose Kite or something...LET MY FINGERS DO THE TALKING!

Warning: Shounen ai meaning boyxboy. And also....I can't spell. So no hokey- pokey flames, alright?

"Talking"

- It was the 5 floor, and the fair orb which Kite used to reveal the hidden areas showed them both that this was the last monster portal before the Gott Stone.

"I-I'm sorry that I let you die like that. I should have healed you much sooner." Elk apologized continuously. Kite sighed annoyingly.

"For that last time, Elk-chan, I forgive you!" Kite said, although he tried not to show the emotion.

"....... Arigatou." Elk said quietly. Kite felt a sharp sting of guilt again. He should change the subject.

"So..... You hear about the valentine event?"

"Valentine event?......No." Elk said.

The walls were stoned, stained with random symbols with scarlet paint. Kite thought the colour brought out Elk's eyes. He never said that aloud, of course. They walked threw out the dungeon here, there was no need to worry about finishing the dungeon in time or accidentally slipping into a battle with a data bug and putting all his friends in danger of becoming comatose. Kite hated that.

But this was nice. And who better to share it with than his best mage and friend? Elk let a sigh escape his crimson lips.

"Can we rest a bit before entering the next portal? My SP hasn't fully recovered from that last battle, yet."

Kite smiled warmly, "Sure. A little break won't hurt."

Actually: He could just use a mage's soul. But a little quality time couldn't hurt either. Kite sat on the ground, his legs spread out before him and his stiff arms held all his weight behind him. Elk also sat, his own legs beneath him.

"Please. Tell me more about this 'Valentine Event'" Elk asked with his usual soft, serene voice. Kite beamed.

"I heard it's probably going to be on Valentine's day."

Elk nodded, stirring a bit before encouraging him to continue. Well, that was obvious. You don't hold the Valentine's Event AFTER Valentine's day. No matter how stupid the committee is; They're not that dumb.

"Balmung of the Azure sky told me that it was a quest. The main idea was for you to enter the name of the one you dedicate your efforts in the event to. Once finished, the name will be an item, weapon, etc., will be given to that person.

"And, it was said that they're lives are to be intertwined forever. Kinda romantic, don'tcha think?" Kite laughed to himself. (Balmung of the perverted and nose-bleeding sky... -Snicker snicker-)

"Any item?"

"Yeah, as long as it's within reason, of course. I mean, you can't go asking for my bracelet or something."

Elk nodded. That seemed reasonable considering not many knew about those types of items anyway.

"Are you going to participate?" Elk asked.

"Yeah. I'm looking forward to it! How about you?" Kite responded.

"I.....Don't think I'm going to. I'll cheer you on though, Kite-san. Besides, I have no one to enter. Who are you going to enter?"

"Arigatou. Demo, you'll just have to wait and see!" Kite winked, causing a faint blush to appear on his face.

"How's your SP?" Kite asked.

Elk blinked. "I-It's not fully recovered, but it can handle the majority of my skills." Elk responded.

"Alright" Kite nodded.

"Let's go then." Elk nodded. Kite stood up swiftly, dusting off his neon pants before reaching a hand out to offer to help Elk up. Elk gladly accepted, placing his own frail fingers in Kite's strong hand. At that moment, they felt secure. Connected; Complete. Something went through them that they had never felt before: Yet they didn't realize it for it had been happening a lot. How can you feel something foreign when it's perfect?

~~

They both stood before the sluggishly rotating monster portal: Gold in colour, letting out a small eerie aura.

"You ready?" Kite asked. Elk simply nodded.

Two monsters exposed themselves and the rapid action music played, ringing in their ears. Kite leaped forward to the feather like monster, Aurora bird. Although they were oblivious to it, another monster lurked about in the shadows. Waiting to pounce.

"Elk-chan, if you don't mind, can ya heal me?" Kite said, almost irritated though he tried better to hide it.

"Yes. Of course." He said quickly, raising his staff to the air, the ribbon waving down as the blue aura replenishes Kite's health. "Pha Repth." Elk called, losing his balance a bit after.

"Arigatou."

Elk nodded as a smile crawled on his face. Elk turned as he found a shadow towering over him. he turned around lowly, and as soon as his wide, ruby orbs caught a glimpse of the beast he opened his mouth to scream but ceased when the monster threw it's giant arm at the frail wavemaster, plunging him into a father wall.

What the heck was Kite going? Destroying another monster -_-; (Kite: Does victory dance. ^^)

As Elk reached for his staff, the monster once against threw an at him, Elk jetted to another wall.

~~~~ How painful...-Winces- Oh well...ANOTHER CLIFF HANGER! Buwahaha! Evil I am; Yet retarded....Wait..I mean...Evil..No..Retar-

Elk: Just review......Oh I mean...Oww! Ow.......Ow.
