Chibi Chibi Adventures! Zephie and Shin's story... A story plot away from the main plot.
As Zephie yelled out the last few words the same archer that saved Shin, appeared.
"Excuse me, are you Zephie Sawatari?" The girl asked.
"Yes, that's my name… but… how does someone of the likes you know my last name?" Zephie asked curiously looking at the girl like she was a hacker, finding out info on every PC.
"Well do you know someone name Aura?"
"Yeah… she's my twin sis…"
"That's me! Anyways, Nee-san… I met this guy… um… Shin… and he told me to find you cause he wanted to tell you something so… yeah..."
"Aura… please… can you take me to him? Please-desu?"
"Yeah sure… follow me!"
At Master Kami's House
"So you found her, Aura…" Ojii-sama asked Aura.
"Yeah… it was really easy though cause of her loud mouth!" Aura said as she laughed at her sister Zephie…
"Um Ojii-sama, Onee-chan… May I go see Shin now?" Zephie asked impatiently.
"Sure, Aura, take her to Shin…"
"Hai!"
"Thanks Grandpa!" Zephie gave a small smile as a sign of appreciation to her grandfather.
Five Seconds Later
"I think we should leave them alone…" Ojii-sama told Aura while she just gave a nod and walked away.
"Shi… in… Shin-kun…" Zephie stammered.
"Zephyr…Zephyr... don't go…Zephyr!" Shin said slowly.
"Don't worry… I'm not going anywhere Shin... But I must say you got beaten up quite a bit, Shin, This is the first time I see you like this."
Flashback: When Shin and Zephie were little in the real world… in a junkyard.
"Stop! You can't go there! I'm telling you, you can't go there! Stop it!" Chibi-5 year old Zephie yelled trying to shoo the moths away from the huge bonfire.
"What are you doing, Zephyr?" Chibi-11 years old Shin asked while stepping behind Zephie.
"The butterflies are burning… even though I'm trying to stop them… hey stop it! You'll die! Don't get near!"
"They're not butterflies."
"Nani?"
"They're moths. And it's no use trying to push them away. They were born stupid. So stupid…" Shin stopped as he gave Zephie a little nudge on the head then he continued. "Listen, if this world was one big darkness and this bonfire was the only light…"
"Then?"
"Even if my body would burn in the flames of hell… I would blindly jump into the flames just like the moths. And then, my wings would burn off, and I would fall to the ground and stagger in the mud. No matter how tough it was, I would probably still reach the fire."
"Shin-san?"
"To me, you are this fire, Zephyr…"

Zephie's Point of View
At the time, I didn't know what Shin meant… perhaps at that time Shin had already seen his future… How did I respond to him back then?
I thought it would be my job to be the one to hold you back. To tell you the truth, it's complicated…
Shin-kun, Do you remember when we talked about moths and the fire? Now that I remember, I think it was then on… that you thought of me as…
End Her P.O.V.
Suddenly Shin sat up and pulled Zephie into his arms with a strong embrace.
"What is Shin? You were awake? Let Go!" Zephie asked as the midday sun shone upon them.
"Don't go, Zephyr" Shin shakily said.
"Don't worry… I'm right here…"
"I afraid, Zephyr… the fire… the fire will burn me…"
"Don't worry… I'm with you…"
"Zephyr… You are my only light… my flame! Zephyr…"
As Shin continue embracing her Zephie was lost in her world "That's right… I remember… After he said that…
Flashback
"To me, you are this fire, Zephyr…"
"No! I don't want to be the fire! I don't want burn you up!"
"Zephyr… "
"I wanna be a butterfly! You're a butterfly too! I wanna be a butterfly just like you!"
End of Flashback
"If I am to burn together… in the same flame as you… Shin…then… I am defiantly not afraid… Hold me tight if I think like this I didn't want to know, what it was like to fall in love with someone and say I love you; my tears won't stop therefore, I should be free of you.
Aura and Ojii-sama's side
"Grandpa… they're so kawaii together…" Aura said as they spied on Zephie and Shin.
"They were meant to be together… here and the real world… always… no matter what happens… together… forever…"
