Ivan's group was almost done in destroying the giant emperium… while Aki was still having a hard time in defeating the Blacksmith
"Aki…" Yuri collapsed on the floor due to exhaustion
"tch! Yuri!" Aki cursed loudly… He wanted to go to the fallen priestess but he was still fighting the blacksmith
"hehhe… your support priest is done for" Rio sneered
"damn it! Therese help Yuri! Jayz back me up!" Aki ordered his guildmates while he was almost staggering /hmm
"haii" Therese ran towards Yuri as fast as she can
"heal!" Jayz casted support skills to boost Aki
"almost…" Aki said softly
"ack!" The blacksmith chocked
"heheh…" Aki stood in front of the blacksmith triumphantly
"how'd you" The blacksmith stammered
"Jim good work" Aki smiled at the Assassin who just appeared out of no where
"wow! Aki your plan actually worked!" Jim smiled widely !
"of course!" Aki grinned
"DONE!" Ivan shouted as soon as they destroyed the large emperium
"we won!" They all jumped for joy… while Aki ran towards the priestess
"yuri! Are you ok?" He asked contritely
"yeah! I'm ok! Damn.. that BS was tough" She managed to stand up and smile
"yeah… he was" Aki said happily and helped Yuri stand
"So this means from now on we will be living here?" Lee asked innocently
"yeah" Aki nodded
"cool! A new room!" Jim shouted joyfully
"a traning ground"
"a new kitchen"
"a bigger room"
"a new house"
They all thought about their new home and jumped for joy
Three months have passed and their guild became one of the most popular and powerful guilds in prontera…. They have recruited some new members and they formed extension guilds….
30th day of the 1st month ( /hmm)
"So Yuri what'll you give him?" Jean asked the priestess who was busy training
"who?" Yuri asked naively
"gods Yuri! Aki's birthday will be on the 3rd day of the next month!" Jean exclaimed
"what!" Yuri was shocked
"gods what's wrong with you?" Jean sighed then shooked her head
"! I know who can help me!" Yuri perked up then left the training ground
In Tetsu's home
"Tetsu… c'mon help me! help me! please! Please! Help me?" Yuri asked persistantly which annoyed Tesu
"Fine! I'll help you make the guy a gift already damn it!" Tetsu sighed in defeat
"yey!" Yuri clasp her hands and followed TEtsu
"What do you want to make him?" Tetsu asked calmly
"a sweater /ok " Yuri smiled brightly
"ok a sweater then… let's start working then…" TEtsu took somethings and both of them started working
That night Yuri went home late so she opened the door silently so that she wouldn't wake anyone up
" /swt phew…" She said silently and walked silently
"where have you been?" Aki opened the lights… Yuri froze
"I uhmmm… went to a friend's house…" Yuri answered nervously
"who…?" Aki asked with suspicion in his eyes
"I went to Mahero's house" Yuri said cooly
"your lying Yuri…" Aki sighed then went to his room leaving Yuri with her unsaid words
"what was that all about…" Yuri sighed and went to her room
"she's with Tetsu again… damn Tetsu!" Aki said quietly with his eyes filled with jealousy and anger
two days have past and Yuri continued to go to Tetsu's house and come home late… this alarmed Aki and finally at the day before his birthday he decided to visit Tetsu and Yuri to see what they were doing
Aki went to spy on Yuri and was shocked in what he saw…
"yuri… so you've been cheating on me…" He said sadly as he saw the priestess embrace the monk… though he wasn't able to hear what they were talking about he felt his heart break into million pieces
"Tetsu! Thank you! Thank you at last it's done!" Yuri hugged Tetsu in order to show her appreciation
"sure! I'm 100 sure that he'll love it!" Tetsu smiled at Yuri
"yep! C'mon I can't wait to see his reaction!" Yuri dragged TEtsu out of the building only to be greeted by a knight
"aki?" Yuri was wondering what was the young knight doing there
"Yuri… I was foolish to have fallen in love with you…" Aki said softly
"what?" Yuri froze and felt like crying
"I hate you! From the beginning you were just playing with my feelings!"
Aki stared at his feet
"I.." Yuri went near to Aki
" I should've know that a girl like you could never be in love with a person like me…."
Aki clutched his fist "I thought I was the only one… but I guess Tetsu was the one you really love"
"that's not true!" Yuri took another step
"hey!" Tetsu stared at the teary eyed priestess and felt like punching the knight
"Eris is right! You just play with guys " Aki glared at her….
"Aki…" Yuri wanted to explain everything but she couldn't talk… she was too depressed
"here… happy birthday" Yuri placed her gift near aki then ran away with tears freely flowing from her eyes
"I see… you believe Eris… you don't trust me…" Yuri teleported
aki stared at the bag Yuri left
"damn it… Yuri… I trusted you.." He kneeled down and got the bag…. Then proceeded back home. He glared at the speechless monk as he went home
"Aki!" Therese greeted the dim knight…. Akira ignored her and proceeded to his room
"what's wrong with him?" Therese asked the priest beside him
"I dunno…" The priest sighed and eyed the knight worried
Aki stared blankly at the roof of his room… lost in his own thoughts
"damn…" His and her words echoed in his mind
"I hate you… you ruined my life…. I should've just went to Juno" The knight sighed and closed his eyes which was filled with sorrow and regret
"it's already raining…" Yuri walked towards the sanctuary… and thought about the incident a that happened earlier "he thought… that I was cheating…"
She entered the sanctuary and went to her room
"nothing good will happen to you in prontera!" Her mother's words reverberated in her mind
"I should go back home" Yuri sighed and took of her robe
"amatsu…" The thoughts of her hometown flooded her mind
"tomorrow I'll go back" Yuri fell asleep
Aki's birthday
"oww…" Aki rubbed his head and went to the bathroom
"aki! Aki!" Jim knocked loudly
"damn it jim wait!" He said angrily
"aki! Yuri.. she's missing!" Jim managed to talk in between his panting
"let her do what she wants" Aki closed the door but Jim stopped him
"but what if something bad happened to her!" Jim looked at him straight in his eyes
"it's none of my concern" He answered coldly
"Aki" Jim was worried about their priestess… not only him but their whole guild
"I went to the sanctuary…" Therese bowed her head down
"and?" Jean asked her, holding ivan's hand tightly
"she left.." Therese said sadly
"where'd she go?" Jayz asked loudly
"I don't know…." Therese sat down and stared at their guild picture
"let's look for her!" Lee demanded
"yes she might be somwhere in the city!" Jean stood up
"let's go!" they all ran outside
"She didn't come back eh?" Aki stared outside
"maybe I was to harsh… but it's all her fault! She toyed with me!" He said angrily
"damn it!" He went inside his room and opened the bag
"a sweater?" He was shocked to see the sweater which had his initials on it… beside the sweater was a letter… he read it
"Aki!
Happy 19th birthday! Do you like the sweater! I made it you know… actually Tetsu was the one who helped me make that! Making that sure was hard! I hope you like it! And… sorry for making you worry if I go home late… actually I was going to tetsu's home so that he could help me… anyway I love you! Always take care you dummY!
Yuri o
Aki sat down his bed too shocked
"Yuri!" Tears fell from his eyes… "I was wrong about her… she was actually…"
Aki stood up and wiped his tears… He ran out of his room and tried to look for her
Amatsu
"Yuri-sama!" two young girls welcomed Yuri as soon as she stepped out of the portal
"Aoki… and Cherro… nice too see you again" Yuri tried to smiled
"minna! Yuri-sama is back!" A woman shouted and everybody went near Yuri
"Yuri-sama! We've missed you so much!" The lady hugged Yuri
"I missed you to" She smiled
"you look so beautiful mi'lady" A man said happilly
"c'mon milady you should go to the palace and see your parents" The dragged her to the palace
"Yuri-chan!" A beautiful lady embraced Yuri
"okasama" Yuri hugged her back
"odin! Yuri you look so beautiful! But you should change your clothes my dear!" And with that the queen called three women to carry all of Yuri's things
"princess where have you been we all missed you so much" the lady named Miria smiled at Yuri
"Miria I missed you too" Yuri smiled at her warmly as she wore a beautiful dress fit for a princess
"you look wonderful…. I'm sure that the prince of prontera would be pleased to see you" Miria said happilly
"prince of prontera?" Yuri sked her naively
"yes mi'lady… prince Kyoshiro will be meeting you tomorrow"
"why?"
"he is your soon-to-be husband mi'lady" Miria said
"Kyo! Will be my what!" Yuri shouted
"come down… this had been decided 4 years ago… and mi'lady it is for the alliance of Amatsu and Prontera"
"I see…" Yuri slapped her head and sighed
Meanwhile
"we couldn't find her…" Ivan sat down and eyed all of his guildmates who looked so fatigued
"maybe… she went back.." Therese said softly
"back!" Aki stared at her waiting fot an answer
"went back to amatsu" Jean answered him
"amatsu!" Aki questioned them
"she's from amatsu!" Jim sighed
"yes… I know that but, didn't she tell us that she would never go back there again!" Aki said loudly
"of course she'll go back there" Therese said seriously
"why is that!" Lee asked
"because she's the heiress of amatsu" Therese said in a normal tone
"she's what!" Ivan stared at her in disbelief
"gods… you knew her for more than 5 years and you still don't know that!" Jean sighed hopelessly
"let's go to amatsu then" Akira looked at them seriously
"we can't… akira" Jayz sighed
"why?"
"because only people with royal blood can enter the kingdom of Amatsu" Lee sat beside aki
"in this case we can't do anything anymore… it's up to her…" Therese went to her room
"damn.. this is all my fault!" Aki ran to his room and burst into tears
After 2 months
"nee Kyo? Matte!" Yuri stopped trying to cath her breath
"Yuri? Doushite?" Kyoshiro went near her
"it's hard running with this clothes you know!" She replied coldy
"when we were kids you used to beat me in this kindsof running" Kyoshiro eyed the priestess
"those were the old times…." Yuri said softly….Kyo cupped her chin and stared at her blue eyes
"your so beautiful…" Kyo said silently while staring at Yuri's face
"kyoshiro…" Yuri looked down
"yuri… I know you don't want to marry me…" Kyo sat beside her
"no… it's not that" Yuri tried to mask her emotions
"it's obviuos Yuri… but we can't do anything about our engagement anymore" He sighed
"I know…" Yuri stood up and smiled "let's go to gh" Yuri took the young crusader's hands
"sure" kyo smiled at his fiancee and entered the portal she opened
In Glast Heim
"Shiva are you still ok?" Aki asked the priestess beside him
"yep… I'm still ok Akira-sama" The priestess blushed
"c'mon let's go find some more monsters" Aki smiled at the black haired priestess
"wow Yuri! Your great!" Kyo complimented the priestess who have just killed another monster
"your not bad yourself kyo"She smiled faintly at him
"now I know why they regard to you as a high priestess" Kyo said happilly
"heh" Yuri merely smiled
"let's go…" Kyo continued walking not looking at his way… instead eyeing his finace
"kyo!" Yuri gasped when she saw her fiancee accidentally enter a warp portal
"yuri!" He disappeared
"damn it…" Yuri was bout to open a warp portal but she failed because she was already out of gems
"I guess I'll just have to continue training until I find some people" She fearlessly proceeded to the next level of Lower Glast Heim
After an 2 hours
"darn…its still not enough" Aki cursed under his breath
"akira-sama are you alright?" The black haired priestess sat beside him. Akira stared at his companion and remembered Yuri…
"Yuri…I miss her so much" he thought deeply
"c'mon Shiva let's go" HE stood up and continued on his pace
After a few minues
"aa!" Aki heard a scream not far away he ran towards the voice
"akira-sama" Shiva ran after him
"damn…." Yuri gasped as she was hit by a skel prisoner… but she killed it before it would injure her more…. But more and more enemies came
"damn…I'm doomed" Yuri held her stunner tighter and prepared for another fight
"HEAL!" Shiva healed an enemy before it could attack the lemon haired priestess
"huh?" Yuri tilted her head to see where the spell came from
"good work shiva!" Aki went towards the mob and used magnum break againts them defeating all of them…..
Yuri sighed in releif and fell to her knees because of exhaustion
"miss are you alright?" Shiva the black haired priestess went near Yuri
"I'm alr-" Yuri gawped when she saw Aki behind the priestess
"yuri!" Aki went near her but before he could go near enough Yuri stood up
"thank you for your help" Yuri walked away from them
"yuri!" Aki ran towards Yuri and held her wrist
"let go" Yuri didn't look at him
"I won't" Aki said ruefully
"let go! Your hurting me!" She screamed
"what are you doing! Are you trynig to get yourself killed!" Aki tilted her head
"tsk…aki I hate you" Yuri cursed under her breath then fainted
"how dare she call you like that master Akira!" Shiva glared at the sleeping form of yuri
"shiva open a warp portal to prontera" Aki carried Yuri in his arms and stared at her beautiful face
In an inn in prontera
Yuri slowly opened her eyes and saw a knight staring at her
"what do you want?" She asked coldy then looked away
"Why did you do that! You could've been killed" Aki asked her sounding frustrated
"it's none of your business! Besides what would you want with a bitch like me" She answered him colder than ever
"it's my concern!" Aki tilted her head and touched the mark on her neck
"as long as this mark is here you still belong to me…" Aki said softly
"what?" Yuri looked at him but before she could speak another word a crusader barged inside the room and ran towards her
"Yuri-chan" Kyoshiro took her hands and stared at her with concern
"kyoshiro-kun… I'm alright" She smiled weakly
"Yuri… I can't take it if my fiancee will be hurt…I'll.." Yuri placed her hands in Kyo's mouth and smiled at him
"Kyo I won't be in trouble" She smiled at him warmly while Aki could only stare at the two "What was she doing with the prince! What did he mean by fiancee! " He thought
"Kyo please leave us alone… I still have to talk to this person" Yuri said softly
"sure" Kyo left the room
"he's my fiancee" Yuri said coldly
"fiance! How could he be your fiance!" Aki stood up not minding the chair he messed up
"I'm engage with him… that's it…" Yuri looked outside the window
"when will you be marrying him?" Aki looked down
"on the 3rd day next week" Yuri smirked
"I see…" Aki took one last glimpse of his love one and left
"idiot.." Yuri sobbed
"WHAT!" All of them shouted
"yes… on the third day next week!" Aki sighed sadly
"damn it aki! Do you still love her!" Therese slapped the knight
"I do! Of course I do!" Aki looked up the blue haired priestess
"then do something!" Therese glared at him
"if you really love her" Lee said softly
"will help you… whatever your decision may be" Ivan placed his hands on his bestfriend's shoulders
"i.." Aki look back at the faces of his guildmates and also his bestfriends
"I'll tell her!" Aki stood up and everybody smiled happily at his choice
"I'll stop her from marrying him no matter what!" Aki smiled brightly
