Forever In Our Hearts

Chapter Seven: Growing Stronger

I'm here. This Chappie is kind of short, it's the shortest so far, sorry, but they'll get longer. Anyway, I tried my best to explain things throughout the story, but if you are still having trouble understanding, ask me, and I can clarify. And keep reviewing!

I rolled over to turn off the alarm before it woke up Ryo. I slowly pushed back the pale purple blankets on my bed. I looked over a Ryo, the navy blue sheets gently covering his body, and I couldn't help but smile.

(A/N: Guys look so cute when they're sleeping )

After taking a quick shower I slipped on the Priestess dress and put on the thigh-highs, then placed my foot into the boots that stooped just below my knees. Then, I put on my Kitty Band and left the cabin.

I made my way to the five cabins that housed the new Acolytes, and opening the door to the first cabin, I noted that all six girls were fast asleep. I glanced over at the clock, it was four-thirty-five.

I sighed and went to the area that I had told them to meet me at. I saw Nanami, among other Priestesses waiting for their Acolytes.

"Chihiro!" Nanami said, walking up to me.

"Good Morning." I said.

She offered a smile. "I heard you go all of the new Acolytes."

I sighed. "Yeah. Thirty of them."

"I see."

"And I have to get them to level twenty-five in four days."

"That's clearly torture." Nanami joked.

"Yeah." I replied.

Twenty minutes later I looked over at my Acolytes to see who was present.

"You're late." I told the six girls that were running from their cabin that didn't wake up on time.

"Sorry." One said.

"No. You see, there isn't an 'Oh I'm sorry' when you're on the battlefield." Ryo walked up behind me. "There are no second chances after you let someone die out there."

I nodded. "If anyone dies, it's your fault. You can't just say 'Oh, well, it was an accident' because that doesn't matter."

"It's your responsibility to keep the Swordies alive." Ryo told the girls

I smiled. "And it's the Swordsmens' responsibility to protect the Acolytes."

Later that day, after the sun went down, I laid there on Ryo's bed.

"Hi." I smiled as he opened the cabin door and came in. "Where have you been?"

"Helping rebuild the cabins that caught on fire."

"Oh." I rolled over onto my stomach.

He sat down on the edge of the bed. "The fire was set, and we know who did it."

"Who?"

"Rogues." He sighed. "From Alberta."

"So, Ryo, what if we don't win the war against Alberta?" I asked.

"They'll kill the Acolytes and Priests."

"They can't!" I said. "They wouldn't do that! Alberta's my hometown!"

He looked down at me. "I wouldn't go back anytime soon."

The next few days consisted of us frantically leveling the new recruits. They had started working together, somewhat, and eventually, the day came when they were assigned parties, and that night, we were told that we had to level twenty Mages.

Our forces were growing stronger.

The end.

Oh! Guess what?! I made rogue today is happy. I restarted my thief on Sakary, and made rogue in four days, with the help of two friends of mine. Thank you so much Ryuu and Mura! And yeah, if anyone wants to say hi, her name is Rinoa-san and she's on the iRO Sakary server But anyway, that's all for now. I'll post Chappie Eight soon!

Your reviews make me happy.
