Hey people… I miss Johnny again! Ugh… you like him that much do you? I don't like him… I LOVE HIM! Miss me? Johnny! (Hugs Johnny) of course I did! Can I take you out again? No! You are not taking her on another date you damn redhead! (Looks at Hale with puppy-dog eyes). (Silence) All right fine, just don't go into a room. Hale you know I'm not like that. Yeah Hale! Whatever, just go already. (Goes out with Johnny). (Goes out with the author). (Sighs) Here's chapter 7…


Chapter 7: This Is What Happened

"That'll be 500z each please," the sailor at the entrance of the boat to Byalan Island said.

"500z each? Let's see… 500 times 6… that'll be… 3k," Aika said getting some zeny from her zeny-pouch (Author: I'm not sure if that really exist in the game but I had no other choice) and gave the money to the sailor.

"Thank you, all of you get onboard, the ship's leaving any minuet now," the sailor said. The 6 party members went on board the ship and we're on their way to Byalan Island. On the way, Aika just sat on the bench, alone, enjoying the breeze. Then she remembered something, Byalan Island was where she met Haiko and Hisha.

"Haiko… Hisha…" Aika whispered.

Flash Back:

The young blonde acolyte was surrounded by Phens and Thara Frogs. She gulped. "Looks like I'm done for, goodbye Nayuko, if only you hadn't left me here this would never had happened!" she said and closed her eyes.

"DOUBLE STRAFE!" Aika heard two voices say. She opened her eyes to see a boy archer with shoulder-length dark orange hair and dark grey eyes. There was another archer beside him, but she was a girl, she looked like the boy archer she was with, except her hair was short and Cleopatra-like and colored light-orange and her eyes were of silvery-grey. With a few more double strafing the mob of Phens and Thara Frogs were gone. The two archers ran up to the frightened acolyte.

"Are you all right?" the boy archer asked.

"Are you hurt?" the girl archer asked. Aika smiled at the two and got up.

"I just fine, but you two look really worn-out, HEAL!" Aika said. The two archers got up and smiled at the blonde acolyte.

"Thanks, um… what's your name?" the girl archer asked.

"I'm Aika Kimasaki, oh and, thanks for saving me you two," Aika said.

"No prob, I'm Haiko Yasaki, and this is my younger sister, Hisha," the boy archer said.

"Pleased to meet you," the girl archer said.

"What're you doing in level 2 Byalan Island all alone! You could've been killed back there if we hadn't showed up!" Haiko said.

"I did have my acolyte cousin who's a higher level than me with me but I didn't know where he went! He just disappeared all of the sudden! And I'm just a newbie acolyte…" Aika said.

"In that case he must've used teleportation to get outta here," Hisha said.

"But he's my cousin! He wouldn't have left me here!" Aika said.

"There I also a chance he got dragged into the watery grave by the water monsters here," Haiko said.

"No… Nayuko…" Aika said, eyes filling up. Hisha elbowed her brother hard.

"Ow! What!" Haiko said. Hisha made him turn to the crying acolyte. "Oh…" Haiko said.

"You insensitive jerk! Now look what you did!" Hisha hissed to her brother.

"I-I didn't know what I was saying! It just came out!" Haiko whispered.

"Go apologize, now," Hisha demanded, crossing her arms across her chest.

"Sheesh… you act like you're older," Haiko said and walked up to the crying acolyte. He bent down and raised her chin up, the two made eye-contact. 'Whoa… those are the bluest eyes I've ever seen…' Haiko thought.

'He has such amazing dark-grey eyes…' Aika thought. Hisha kicked her brother, giving him a look tat said, 'Go on with it,' Haiko glared at his sister and turned to the acolyte with comforting eyes.

"Don't cry Aika," Haiko said.

"How can I not cry when I just lost my cousin!" Aika said and tore her gaze away from his. "Now I'll just be all alone…" Aika said.

"Don't you have parents to help you level up?" Haiko asked. Aika bowed her head down.

"I don't have any parents… I was abandoned when I was only a baby…" Aika said, glumly. Hisha kicked her brother harder.

"Ow! Would you quit that damn kicking!" Haiko hissed at his sister. Hisha just glared at her older brother lethally. Haiko turned to the acolyte who was crying even more. He held her chin again and let her teary sapphire blue eyes make contact with his dark-grey eyes. Aika blushed, Haiko smiled. "Listen, if it'll make you feel better, we could be your party members," Haiko said and wiped away Aika's tears.

"You… you'll really party-up with me?" Aika asked, smiling. The Yasaki siblings nodded.

"We've been fighting monsters without an acolyte, and when we've been spending money on arrows, we're spending more on healing potions," Hisha said.

"Plus, if we left you alone who knows what'll happen to you?" Haiko said.

"We could be friends too," Hisha said. Aika smiled.

"Thanks guys," Aika said. So they did party-up, and were happy together until that incident in Glast Heim.

End of Flash Back

Aika felt a pain on her stomach's left side again. "Not again…" Aika whispered. She saw blood on the side where she felt pain.

"Hey Aika," she heard someone say. She turned to see her cousin, Nayuko.

"Hey Nayuko," Aika said. The black haired monk sat next to his cousin and noticed blood on her side.

"W-what happened! Aika… you're bleeding!" Nayuko said, panicking.

"It's nothing Nayuko, it just happens every time I think about…" Aika said but was cut-off.

"You're friends who died in Glast Heim?" Nayuko said.

"How did you know?" Aika asked.

"Kaina told me about it, as party members we should know each other well, and I'm even your cousin Aika," Nayuko said. Aika turned away from her cousin.

"It just pains me too much… losing them…" Aika said as a tear fell from her beautiful blue eyes. Nayuko put a hand on his crying cousin's shoulder.

"Don't cry Aika," Nayuko said. He was silent for a while. "I'm sorry I left you a long time ago in Byalan Island…" Nayuko said. Aika turned to her older cousin.

"It's all right, where did you go anyway?" Aika asked.

"Well… this is what happened…" Nayuko said.

Flash Back

Nayuko was just walking around Byalan Island looking for his lost cousin. "Where could Aika have gone to?" Nayuko wondered to himself.

"Lost someone? Hmp, I never thought you were this clumsy to lose a living person," the monk heard someone say. He turned to see a priest in front of him.

"Jin! You're… you're a priest!" Nayuko said, in shock.

"Yeah, and I see you're still a lousy little acolyte Nayuko," the priest named Jin said, smirking. Nayuko gritted his teeth.

"So what if I'm still an acolyte! I could still beat your ass up!" Nayuko said.

"Oh really? Want to fight now?" Jin said.

"Hmp, I'm gonna make you wish you were never born!" Nayuko said and started fighting with the priest. The fight didn't turn out very good for Nayuko; he was hurt, bad, no matter how much he healed himself Jin just kept on attacking. Nayuko was slammed against a wall of Byalan Island, which hurt a lot. He was too weak to get up, and low on 'SP'. Jin walked in front of him.

"You're pathetic, you don't deserve to be here in Byalan Island, and you want to be a monk right? Tell you what, I'm gonna warp you to that monk place or whatever they call it so you could become stronger, next time I battle you, I want some challenge," Jin said. He stood up and got one of his blue gemstones. "WARP…" Jin said.

"W-wait! I…" Nayuko said but didn't continue.

"PORTAL!" Jin yelled and warped Nayuko to the Monk Sanctuary (I just like calling it that). Nayuko found himself in a place where lost of monks, meditating and doing stuff monks do.

"Where… where am I?" Nayuko asked.

"You're in the Monk Sanctuary my boy," a monk said.

"We're going to teach you how to become a monk," another said.

"B-but you don't understand! I accidentally left my cousin back in Byalan Island!" Nayuko said.

"Do not worry, your cousin will find a way to survive," the first monk said. Nayuko turned his head to one side.

'I hope you're right…' Nayuko thought.

End of Flash Back

"So… that's what happened…" Aika said. Nayuko nodded. Aika bowed her head down. "I thought you left me…" Aika said. Nayuko turned her chin so that she could face him.

"Would I ever leave my own cousin?" Nayuko said. Aika's eyes started to fill up; she shook her head and hugged her cousin, crying.

"Poring…" Pan-chao said, joining the cuddling.

"Aika, Nayuko, we're about to reach Byalan Island any minuet now, we should prepare," Hayveene said. The two nodded. They soon reached the island of Byalan, what awaits them, they're about to find out.
