Alfheim 2

Chapter 18: True Feelings

Walking through the park Leafa was still a little down as she asked, "Hirada, I wanted to talk. I had to ask something. Do... do you think of me as a friend or more than that?"

Hirada studdered, "Um... well, uh... I th-think of you as a best friend why do you ask?" He then blushed and put a hand behind his head.

Leafa looked down to the ground and said, "So, all that time we spent together, you don't think of me as like a girlfriend?"

Hirada's face was even more red as he said, "Um, funny you should ask that. I didn't think we were but as more time went on I kinda just didn't think about it at all. Honestly, I guess you could say that I did think of you as a girlfriend, unless... you don't want it that way I mean..."

Leafa chuckled, "No, it's fine. It's just the last time I fell in love it was with someone who I was related to and I never thought I'd find love again. Here I am falling for you and you don't even know it, do you?"

Hirada's face returned to normal as he said, "No I didn't know that. Who was it the last time?"

Leafa's eyes then watered up as she said, "Oh, you know, I really don't want to talk about it."

Now feeling depressed himself Hirada said, "Sorry! I didn't know, I was just curious is all. So, what are your thoughts now exactly?"

Leafa wiped her tears and said, "I don't know yet. I mean I still like you as a friend, I might even like you more than that really." Leafa then blushed as she continued, "I think... I think I love you!"

Hirada smiled and said, "That's good to know. I'm relieved to know that the girl I love, loves me back."

Leafa then walked over to Hirada and kissed Hirada making him blush once more. Leafa finished, "Let's head back, finish this game, and save your sister."

Leafa then grabbed Hirada's hand and they walked back to the spot where Yusuke stood waiting as Yusuke saw the couple holding hands he said, "Oh, I see what that was about. Heh heh. Anyway, let's begin the rest of the game, what do ya say?"

Hirada said, "Yeah, lets do this!"

With that they began journeying for dungeon seven. Along the way they made friends with another player who journeyed for a little bit with the pact until he reached a certain point in the path and left on his own.

They battled tons of enemies along the way and went through the dungeon, Lethal Lava Mountain. They made it to the boss in which they defeated through a long hard fought boss battle. They looted the boss and left as usual.

Now they headed to dungeon eight where they battled the mini-boss outside the dungeon, and went inside to begin the dungeon. In the dungeon they did more puzzle solving than

anything and went to face that boss as well.

After finishing up their business in dungeon eight they went level grinding for a while because they had a hard time in the eighth dungeon. Upon reaching the desired level they left for the ninth dungeon, Deep Freeze Cavern. After freezing their rears off in the dungeon, solving ice puzzles and defeating enemies they made it to the boss.

Once they beaten that boss they then took a break by logging out and resting. The next day, Hiro and Suguha spent the day together.

Hiro took Suguha to the movies where they watched the new release and had a blast doing so. Afterwards Suguha went to Hiro's house and spent the night, where they played games and had fun the entire night.

Back to the real story, the next morning Suguha said, "Hiro, are you ready to go and complete the tenth dungeon?"

Hiro was happy to say, "Yes, I am ready are you?"

Suguha smiled and kissed Hiro as she left for her house saying goodbye as she left his house.

Back in the game all three of the pact met up and prepared for the last dungeon. Hirada still had the Tournesol, Leafa went back and gotten Excalibur II, Yusuke had a new weapon as well, Ragnarok, said to be the third most powerful weapon in the game.

With all three of the most powerful weapons in the game they left for the last storyline dungeon, Kris' Castle.
