I reinforced my limbs to the limit, swimming for the two of us since Rin was in pain from the fall. The labyrinth of caverns was unending and she started to lag behind.
Mini Shiriou the White raised his hand and plucked a note on his arp.
Like HELL!
I was about to do something stupid. But we were running out of time. Securing her against my body, I projected a fire-extinguisher and let it rip.

We zoomed past the caverns, the murky waters turning slightly less dark was my only guide. The arp struck the second note and I pushed the stream of gas downward. My back crashed against wood planks while my arms encircled my precious cargo.

I coughed a lungful of water while trying to come to my senses.
Mini Shiriou the Red slapped me and pointed to the crumped form beside me when the third note resonated from my other shoulder.
-"Rin! RIN!"
My ear on her chest was unable to pick up a pulse, so I intertwined my fingers and started pumping .
"C'MON RIN! I'M TOO YOUNG TO BE A WIDOW!"
Breathe...pump...pump...pump... breath...
"If I was a better mage...I could...spark life...to ..."
Spark? I didn't know how, but I knew about a Taser.
"FAAAaaaasaAAAAassssaaAAaWWWWaawwwwwWWww"
wet...taser...hurts...

Coughs became the sweetest thing to hear and I slumped down while both mini Shirious embraced each other.

Rin eyed me, taser still in hand.
-"I...died?"

My heart shattered and I hugged her tight.
-"I'm here, it's okay...it's okay..."

She placed a quivering hand against my cheek and her glazed eyes found mine.
-"Till death do us part. You -"
She coughed again, her frame shaking from shock.
"...you are free to go."

I kissed her hand, her brow and her lips.
-"Nope. I want my own kids to traumatise."

She scoffed but there was no heat behind it.
-"Get me a warm bath first and I would be inclined to hear your ideas."

Taking her in bridal carry, I could not avoid noticing how her wet clothes stuck to her...her...everything that could be stuck was stuck and let's leave it at that, capisce?
