THE TACTICIANS' WISH

Prologue 2: Reunion of Long Lost Lovers

Hiro sat in his room on his bed, fiddling with his necklace. His roommate Jack was snoring loudly on the other bed. It was late at night, and it was a full moon outside. Hiro was thinking about Mitsuna, wishing she was there with him then to share the moment where he had succeeded; from a mere farmer's boy to a full-fledged and skilled tactician/ mage/ myrmidon. He wished she was there to share his moment of happiness. But she wasn't, and all he could do now is wish that she would magically appear right in front of him. How he missed her beautiful face and soothing voice, he missed her wonderful singing which would calm him down if he cried; he missed her a lot, damn it.

He thought about his encounter with the sapphire-eyed tactician. She was hot, no doubt about it, and although he was sure he never met her before, she seemed incredibly familiar. Not being able to sleep, he decided to take a short walk. He opened the door of housing room P69 (Jack chose this room because he thinks that P stands for pimp and...well...69 explains itself), and walked out the door, and towards the garden. Coincidentally, he has to pass the showers to get to the garden. He decided to take his Fimbulvetr tome with him to read at the park.

The sapphire eyed tactician went to the girls' shower room, and took off her clothes. If any boy was up that late and bothered sneaking into that room, he would have had a major nosebleed. She then took a short shower. She always slept late; she doesn't know why, but since she was a child she was always like that. She fiddled her necklace, which looked exactly like Hiro's, but with a sapphire pendant instead of a ruby to match.

It was 4 years ago when her brother went to Elibe to hire some Pegasus Knights to join her castle's army, and to get a LOT of Ilian rum. However, after all those years, he never returned. He gave her this necklace as a keepsake. He told her it carried one of the legendary weapons used to slay dragons waaay back then. He told her that he also gave one to an old friend. He himself wielded one, but it had an emerald on it to match his azure eyes.

She remembered when the necklace awakened. 4 years ago, her castle was being attacked by an invading army from Bern. It was obviously a one-sided battle; the castle guards were no match for the mighty wyvern riders. When her friend, the castle's gatekeeper, was about to get impaled, time stopped, and a lovely female voice said, "Come, young one. Do you wish to protect your friends, family, and other loved ones? If you have the will and the courage to do so, I shall lend you my power. As long as you have the will, you shall succeed!" Then time returned.

Instead of her Steel Sword, she was wielding a rapier like weapon. Its blade was dark blue, and it was shining in the sun. It was a very beautiful weapon; it looked like it was made for decorative purposes, not combat. However, it was very sturdy, and she had an excellent grip on it. It was also light as a feather. A voice rang through her head "As long as you have the will, you shall succeed! The Diabolique is in your hands. Use it wisely"

'Diabolique', she thought. Then she somehow summoned a blue magical field around the gatekeeper and saved him. However, even with this weapon, she wasn't skilled enough to be able to fight off the wyvern riders. So, she and the gatekeeper escaped to Elibe through a trade ship, hoping to be able to find her brother and get his help. When they arrived, the gatekeeper made her join the tactician's guild so build up her skills so that she would be ready when they returned to liberate the castle. The gatekeeper went to Ilia to search for the girl's brother.

After finishing, she put on her clothes and got out of the shower room and was about to walk back to her room when a hand grabbed her by the mouth, and more grabbed her body. She struggled, but to no avail.

"Damn, I told you the girls here are fine, but you just won't listen, Villa," said a voice behind the girl, sounding very satisfied after his catch.

Villa replied, "Hey, I'm not that desperate to get laid that I need to rape someone, I just don't want you guys to get caught. That, and I'm the only one able to keep you guys under control, Gan."

A hand slapped, groped, and pinched the girl's bottom. "Damn, that's REAL smooth and tight! Come on, Villa, lighten up and have some fun!"

"Fool, I said I'm only here so you guys don't go out of control, Pouten. Shiba, I thought you would have more sense and wouldn't have come."

"Meh," Shiba said, as he pulled down her panties.

The girl finally managed to get her mouth out from under Gan's hand. She screamed for help. "HELP ME I'M GETTING RAPED!"

Hiro was on his way back from his walk around the garden when he heard a girl scream "HELP ME I'M GETTING RAPED!" His impulsive reaction was to run to the source of the sound. Using his masterful sneaking skills, he hid in the nearby shadows and found the rapists. The girl they were raping turned out to be the girl from earlier that day. 'Damn,' he thought. Acting on instinct, he immediately chanted.

"FIMBULVETR!"

"What?" Gan was surprised at that cry.

'Damn. How could this happen? How did I not sense the caster's presence nearby?' Villa pondered. Shards of ice flew from the shadows, as a tornado of ice appeared near the group and headed towards it, crashing into the rapists, but surprisingly not the girl (who was cowering in fear and crying), and Villa who was able to jump away in time.

'Damn, this guy's good,' thought Villa. 'It's not often I get surprise attacked. Now to find out where he is...THERE!' he thought, as he found the location of the spell's caster, and threw a dagger at the spot. Immediately the blizzard stopped.

'Damn!' Hiro thought as he dodged an incoming dagger while closing his tome. He instinctively reached for his Muramasa, but felt nothing as he remembered that he left it in his dorm room '#$!#' So he opened his tome again and began chanting while strafing towards the girl, while still staying in the shadows.

"Urgh!" grunted Villa as he was hit with a shard of ice. It cut deep into the skin on his good arm. 'This isn't good. He disabled me. He's really good though, he managed to control the spell so that it doesn't hit the girl or my knocked out goons...Looks like I'll have to retreat for now.'

With that, Villa hopped away from the blizzard and left the guild building.

After the blizzard cleared, Hiro checked his surroundings. The rapists were knocked out, but noticed that one was missing; the one that managed to dodge the first attack. The girl was still cowering in fear and crying. He walked towards her, and as he did, he noticed something shining in the moonlight. Her Necklace. He stopped in his tracks as he noticed it; it looked exactly like his, but in place of his ruby, there was a sapphire. Then he walked towards her again.

"Are you OK?" He asked her, and mentally slapped himself. She was just raped, or was about to get raped if not for his intervention. Of course she's not OK.

The girl looked up at her savior, and nodded slowly. Hiro could see tears in her eyes.

"Go back to your dorm room, I'll clean this mess up." The girl meekly nodded, then got up, realizing that she still had her panties down, pulled it up (she bent down, giving Hiro a good view of the top of her chest), embarrassed. Hiro blushed. She then walked towards her room while Hiro told the guards.

'...Hiro...?' thought the girl, as she remembered looking into his scarlet eyes.

The next morning, Hiro and his friends were called to the guild leader/ headmaster's office. Mua was congratulating Hiro, and so were his friends. Jack, the horny one, said "Hiro you stud! You should have been a cavalier or something! Your sense of chivalry is amazing it would rival even a paladin's!"

"Thanks."

"Well, today is the day we list the top 10 members of each gender. All of you made it, and I'm very proud of you all. Even you, Jack."

Ian gave his predictable, "YEAH! WE'RE GONNA GET DRUNK TONIGHT!"

Mark, however, wasn't as happy, "Damn, fool, I still feel horrible after the hangover we got from LAST night. I don't know how you and Hiro manage it, but you guys must have stomachs of Ogrenium! You guys NEVER get hangovers!"

"'Cuz we're cool like that."

The headmistress called the girl and her 5 friends over to her office and said the same thing Mua did with Hiro and his group.

The order of the boys' top ten list, from 10th to 1st, as it was read during the boys' assembly:

David, Edaos, Firion, Gaza, Jack, Ian, Kassar, Louie, Mark, and Hiro.

The lists were then posted on the girls' and boys' main hallways' bulletin boards to show the other gender because the assemblies were separate.

"Come on Hiro, at least we'll be able to get a list of the girls' names," said Jack as he tried to persuade Hiro to check out the girls' list.

"Fine already...but I can't guarantee I'll be satisfied."

The girl was persuaded by her friends to do the same with the boys' list.

She looked up the list from the bottom to the top, reading the boys' bios and then finally their names and portraits. She lazily went up the list, giggling with the rest of her friends after reading the bios, which were usually funny and incredibly horny. However, they stopped laughing when they read number one's bio, which was incredibly sorrowful, and it actually made them cry. All except the sapphire-eyed girl, who knew the beginning of the story all too well. She then looked up to see the name; sure enough, her suspicions were confirmed. Hiro was indeed at the guild. She thought she saw him before, so to confirm her suspicions she looked at his portrait...to find that he didn't provide one. In an instant, she bolted to the headmaster's office so she can call Hiro there using the announcement system. She'll finally see him again, and ran towards the office at maddening speed, half skipping, half sprinting, filled with joy.

At the same time, in the boys' main hallway, Hiro lazily read through the girls' bios, names and portraits, much like the girl and her friends. But since they're guys, they made horny jokes instead of giggling. Hiro just finished pissing the crap out of Louie when he started reading #1's bio. Also, when he read her name, he looked for a portrait, but there wasn't one either. "Holy $h!t!", and with that, he bolted towards the headmaster's office.

"Damn, already looking for the girl. And he said he might not be satisfied." Kassar finally talked and made his first horny comment since, like ,EVER!

"heh heh, satisfy..."he said while licking his lips.

"What are you thinking now, man..."asked Louie.

"And you guys say I'm a pervert..."said Jack, sweatdropping.

The Headmasters' office is in the middle of the campus. Hiro is running at the same speed as the girl tactitian and started roughly at the same time, heading towards the same place, and the distances between the 2 places are roughly equal.

As Hiro and the girl saw the door to the office, they sped up. At the junction of the 2 hallways, they crashed head on. Mark, the fastest runner of Hiro's group chased after Hiro and was close enough to see that. "OOOH! DAYUM! That's gonna leave a mark..." Lina, the fastest runner of the girl's group also gave chase to the girl and said the same thing.

"We seem to be seeing each other a lot at the most awkward moments these last few days," said the girl to Hiro, who was out and on top of her.

"...Mommy, I just had the worst hangover EVAR..."said Hiro as he rolled off...and saw that people were looking at them. "What are you looking at? Never seen to people running really fast and crashing into each other before?"

"You okay?" Hiro asked the girl

"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks."

"Going to the office too, huh?"

"Yeah...I'm looking for someone..."

"What a coincidence, so am I."

With that the 2 entered the office.

Mua greeted them.

"Oh, greetings children. What can I do for you today?"

"I'm looking for someone!" both Hiro and the girl said in unison, and Mua sweatdropped.

"Uh...ladies first..."offered Hiro.

"Thanks" replied the girl. 'He's very polite; so hard to find guys like that these days...'

"Uh...Headmaster Mua, can you make an announcement, and call Hiro Sasuke here?"

"What a coincidence, that's me..."

"Yeah, there he is..." said Mua.

Then, awkward silence, AGAIN!

Then the most unexpected thing happened (or maybe not so unexpected). The girl jumped on Hiro and kissed him hard and held him tightly. Hiro was surprised at this but didn't struggle. He felt this warm embrace before, he felt this same sensation on his lips 12 years ago. He had regained what he was missing for so long, and he knew it the moment this happened.

"I...I'll just leave you two alone...yeah, that's what I'll do...yeah..." said Mua. 'I did NOT need to see my 2 best students making out right in front of me...'

"Hello Mitsuna. I've missed you," said Hiro, happy to finally be reunited with his lost love.

"I missed you too, Hiro," was her reply. "It's funny...We ran into each other so often these last few days but we didn't recognize each other. Must have been all these years..."

The two traded stories of what happened during the last 12 years

"I'm...sorry to hear that," said Hiro, trying to comfort his girlfriend. "I hope Kyoshiro's still alive, he was a good friend of mine as well..."

"Thank you..." and they were locked in another deep embrace and French kiss.

Meanwhile, outside, their friends were eavesdropping. Mitsuna's friends: Lina, Kellia, Janet, Irene, and Hilda were discussing the lovers' stories after hearing them with Hiro's friends.

"They're a cute couple, I think," said Hilda, the most mature of the group. Mark agrees.

"Aww, it's so romantic, long lost loves reuniting after 12 long years..."said Janet, sparkly eyed. Louie, the fruity one, "Yes indeed, they make a most delicious and romantic couple!" Not expecting that from a guy, everybody sweatdropped.

"What did I say?"

Later that day, Mua received a letter from an unknown source by pigeon mail. It was addressed to Hiro and Mitsuna:

"DO NOT LET THE BLACK FANG OR ANYONE ELSE NEAR THE SACRED SWORDS, OR THE PLAN WILL BE DONE FOR."

'The sacred treasures, it couldn't be...Muramasa, Diabolique, Ragnarok, Zantetsuken, Harusame, Etherion, and Einharjar are with these 2 kids? I thought we sealed them long ago to keep them from the hands of evil...'Mua thought. 'I must interrogate them about this matter.'
