I'm back! Sorry for the late update! Just a few days ago, the flashdrive that I use to save my stories...well..broke. So, most of the stories that I was currently working on have vanished in thin air. I'm not even going to bother calling some service that can "fix" my broken drive. I however am VERY SAD and VERY DISAPPOINTED that this can happened. (My precious work! QwQ). Anyway, Anna-chan sorry for the wait. I am quite busy as you might know with school, I have writer's block, AND I have a broken flashdrive. Can this get any worse!? That I don't know. I hope you like it!~Aria...the author that broke her own flashdrive that contained her stories.
Chapter 2: The Unexpected Reunion
"R-R...Rena?" He stuttered as he blinked a few times.
I just stared, eyes wide..
How did this person know my name!? I never even met him..
Wait...don't tell me its...
"E-Elsword...?" I stuttered as I started the the "so called" stranger that knew my name.
He smiled brightly to my response. He lifted his head and he stared right in my olive green pupils. "I-I..can't believe its you Rena!" He rejoiced as he tightened his sword.
I smiled. Well I never expected this to happen...never in my wildest dreams!
" I can't believe its you either Elsword..you look..so..DIFFERENT!" I announced before I slowly chuckled.
He looked worried and tilted his head in confusion. "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" He worriedly asked.
"Of course in a good way...you've matured Elsword..I can't BELIEVE that you were once that little brat I knew!" I chuckled as I flashed him a smile.
He blushed, well more like smoke came puffing out his ears. "A-Ah..umm...Thank you I guess..you look diferent too..in a good way I mean!" He thanked before he complimented me.
I blushed. Now that you mention it...I have changed.
After 5 years of living, my bust has grown quite a bit and my hair has gotten A LOT longer(like NW's hair, but with feather ornaments), and I grew a few inches. I didn't really look different, but I was wearing different clothes and all.
"Well,I guess I have...,but how did you find me?" I questioned suspiciously as I shot him a cold glare.
His expression turned serious. "While I was wandering around camp, I spotted a weird portal and once I got closer, I found out that it was a teleportation portal and someone came out of it...which was you, Rena.." He seriously explained what had happened.
I nodded and placed my finger on my chin. "I understand...sorry that I thought you where a stalker Elsword!" I apologized sweetly as I chuckled at my weird thoughts.
He frowned then hmphed. I chuckled. As we headed back to the base camp, we started talking about the old past. Sigh...those were the times...
As we headed out Ruben Forest, up ahead layed the quiet yet peaceful village of Ruben. I smiled. Trees stood tall and proud like skyscrapers looking over the busy city while flowers bloomed on the lush grass like shells on the sandy beach. Ruben was just as peaceful and beautiful as I remember it.
I followed Elsword to a wooden cabin that was located in a clearing, where trees stretched up to the sky. Even from the outside, screams and yelling could be heard from inside.
"Hey don't do that, you'll make it worse!" A familiar voice screamed from the inside.
"Well Sorry!" Another familiar voice echoed back before releasing a grunt.
*SLAP!* "You humans have no respect and manners!" A monotone voice declared right after the VERY loud "SLAP".
These...people..they sound...so...familiar, but who are they!?
"Um...Rena it;s always like...so don't worry.." Elsword nervously whispered as he started knocking on the locked door.
"Guys...Its me Elsword and I brought a guest!" He announced as he stopped knocking against the wood door.
Their was a silence and footsteps quickly rushed to the door. A purple haired woman with the same shade of eyes opened the door, just to be looked at by me.
She had shoulder-length hair that curled at the ends and a pair of shining amethyst eyes. She was wearing a dark purple T-shirt and a pleated blue skirt while a white lab coat trimmed with pink to cover her. She was wearing black stockings and a pair of white boots.
She was wearing mostly purple, which I assumed was her favorite color. I gasped and so did the purple haired woman. She...looks...wait a moment..
We just stared at each other, tension rising between us. I couldn't move, it was like I was paralyzed. My eyes was wide in shock and my jaw dropped.
I was about to say something, but Elsword interrupted me.
"I'll explain everything once we get seated." He told in a serious tone.
She nodded and gestured us to come in. I slowly followed him inside and nearly gasped.
A group of people were seated by the nearby couches, watching us or me actually with curiosity or shock.
Once I or we actually got seated, we started the introduction.
"Everyone...I have brought a guest..which I you guys know already.." Elsword explained as he gestured his hand at me.
I gulped. Why...am I so...nervous...
Everyone just stared at me with shock expressions which made me feel uncomfortable.
Just then, a blonde haired man spoke up.
"Elsword...this...person..isn't R-"
"It's Rena, Chung." An ebony haired haired woman interrupted as she made eye contact with me.
I gulped again. I don't know what got over me, but before I could make out a reason, I could already feel hot tears slide down my cheeks.
The room went silent, well kinda. Elsword just panicked.
"A-Ah...Rena why are you crying..did I do something wrong?" He stuttered as he panicked.
I wiped away my tears and smiled, which seemed to surprise everyone.
"I'm fine..its just that I can't believe that I'm seeing my old friends again..after 5 years!" I chuckled as I wiped away the last of my tears with my hand.
Everyone looked surprised even Eve, which was quite surprising.
Then they all smiled, even Eve.
(After Elsword explained everything)
Everyone looked serious.
"I have come to to this world to accomplish a mission given to me..which was to make sure that the demons don't revive agian." I explained as my expression turned serious.
Everyone nodded.
"Rena..so how long are you going to stay!?" Chung asked out of curiosity.
I thought for a moment.
"I'll leave once my mission is over...I guess.." I sadly told them as a frown spread across my face.
Everyone looked sad and Ara looked like she was about to cry.
Oh..boy..
"I won't leave right away though...my mission will take a few months at the least!" I reassured them as I panicked to rise their spirits.
Everyone nodded and they lightened up.
"So...while you stay here why don't I show you around town, Rena?" Elsword suggested as he flashed me a "killer" smile.
I gulped. From the corner of my eye, I could see Aisha make a envious expression, but it soon changed to a mad one.
"I want to show Rena around town, so scram!"Aisha protested as she stood up and pointed an accusing finger at Elsword.
Elsword cursed. "With your sense of direction Aisha, we'll be lost before we even started!" He shot back as he clentched his teeth.
I could see a hurt expression flash on her face, but it disappeared in a second.
"PLEASE...you would be worse..you couldn't even tell a boy from a girl because of your stupid brain!" She protested back as she tightened her fights in fury.
And the fight kept going and going. I decided to not do anything even if I was annoyed.
While they continued their fight, I sipped my tea as if I couldn't hear them fighting.
From the corner of my eye, I could see Ara looking very worried and Eve minding her own business, not even glancing in their direction.
Elesis, Chung, and Add were amusingly watching their fight, while Raven was watching from the corner.
I sighed and continued sipping my tea while the two kept fighting over whatever they were over.
Soon after, Chung and Ara went over by me.
"Rena..." They said in union.
"Yes?" I answered as I put down my cup and eyed them.
"Well?" They asked me.
"Well...what!?" I asked impatiently, but I kept my expression calm.
They looked shocked, but continued with what they were saying.
"Rena...aren't you going to stop those two like you did in the past!?" Ara asked worriedly asked me as she pointed to the two.
I sighed. "If fighting is the only way to solve their conflict, then they can do what they need to stop their argument...I have no part in this Ara..." I calmy explained as I sipped my tea.
There was a silence between us. I sighed yet again. I gently placed my cup on the table and got up.
Chung and Ara curiously watched as I got by bow and aimed it at the two.
...3...
...2...
...1...
*WHOSH*
My arrow moved through the air, pushing and turning around while gathering speed.
It was just inches away from Aisha's and Elsword's faces, but it didnt hit.
I watched in amusement as the two blockheads stopped fighting and looked at the arrow that was now stuck to the target..which was on the wall...where they were only inches away from.
I chuckled. Everyone just looked at me in shock.
"I suggest that you two stop your silly fight because I WOULD shoot another arrow and I PROMISE that it was hit not on the target, but on you.." I calmy told the two paralyzed kids.
They shivered and I calmy put away my bow. Aisha and Elsword stopped their fight and sat back down.
There was an awkward silence, so I decided to ease the tension.
"SO...are you guys going to celebrate my return or not?" I questioned as I made eye contact with the members of the gang.
...
...
"After that, everyone started cheering for my return and started talking about their past.
"EVE!" I shouted as I jumped onto a white haired nasod queen. She blushed.
"Its nice to see you again Rena after a long time." She whispered as I continued rubbing her cheek against Eve's.
I smiled and let go her her. Eve..really has changed
Eve still had her pokerface, but I could see some emotions building up in her. Her hair was still the same and so was the clothing that she wore. Even if she looked the same, she was different in the inside.
As I waved goodbye to Eve, I quietly went upstairs to the bathroom to change.
(Bathroom)
"Hmm...I'll wear this..."
(Outside Bathroom)
I looked down to see me wearing my old promotion clothing. It brought back memories. I look exactly the same, except that my chest grew even larger, my hair grew longer, and I got taller.
I sighed. As I started going down the stairs, a familiar figure stood by the railing.
"Raven!?" I said as I made my way down the stairs. I could already feel the anxiety and worry in my voice.
He turned his head and faced me. He smiled. "Rena..." He responded as he brushed away a strand of his hair.
When I finally reached him, a let out a small chuckle which seemed to confuse him.
"What's so funny!?" He worriedly asked me as his face scrunched up into a pouting expression.
I smiled. "Its just that...before in the past you would never smile like that..you've changed" I explained between chuckles.
He let out a frown and turned his head. I could clearly see the blush on his face. He slowly turned his head and pulled me closer to him.
He quickly grabbed my waist and we meet eye to eye. My olive green eyes meeting his amber eyes.
"Rena...do you know why I changed?" He whispered in my ear causing me to chudder. I shook my head saying a "no".
He laughed. "It's because..you were there Rena.." He seductively told me as he brushed a lock of my hair off my shoulder.
I could feel a blush creep up to my cheeks. He leaned in even closer until we were like only inches away. I knew what was coming.
I closed my eyes and let my lips be captured by him. I expected this kiss to be quick...since Raven wouldn't to kiss me for too long.
That's what I thought until...a tongue moved through my mouth and wiggled inside it. I opened my eyes and I would of gasped, but I couldn't.
"A-Ah...Mhmn...R-Raven..." I managed to say between words. Once he let go, he stared at me with his very amused look on his face.
I wiped away the "stuff" from the corners of my lip and glared at him. He chuckled. He turned around and went down the stairs. "Rena...you tasted great by the way.." He said before he went out of view.
I blushed yet I felt sad. One part of me said "OMG! Raven kissed me!"..while another said "That's not the Raven I know!".
I was stuck between excitement and worry. I just sat down on the stairs for who knows how long, sorting out my feelings.
Raven...
