Next Day

It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and lots of adventurers can be seen gathering in front of the Payon caves. Adventurers of all different classes and experience can be seen getting ready to head into the caves.
The place was buzzing with activities. Some younger adventurers were asking for advice from more experience adventurers of their class. Parties were forming and preparing to enter into the caves. Some priests even offer to help support the young adventurers inside the caves to help them gain experience. (A/N:I loved the priest that did that...it was so nice to get buffs and heals when i went to level my theif :P good old days...lol)

With everything going on, we can find our little Brunette in a corner casting support spells on adventurers that were entering into the caves.

A priest patted her on the head as he entered into the caves with his party full of second class. They were heading into the lower levels of the caves which was much more dangerous then the first.

"Boo" a voice boomed from behind Mikan.

Mikan let out a loud shierk and jumped from her spot.

She turned around as she heard laughing behind her to find Ruka holding his tummy because he was laughing so hard.

"You scared me!" Mikan scolded him.

"Sorry I couldn't resist," Ruka replied as his laughter died down.

"When did you get here?" Mikan asked.

"Just now. Are you ready to get started?" Ruka asks.

"Yup, I'm ready." Mikan replied with a smile.

"Great, lets go." Ruka said as he walked into the caves, "before those fangirls mob me," he muttered the last part to himself feeling the stares of the fangirls on his back as he went into the Caves.

As the week goes by, Ruka and Mikan get closer as they are training together.
If you were to met them now, you would have thought they have been friends for a very long time.
The fangirls were jealous of Mikan because she was always partying with Ruka and they can't get near them.



"Hey Mikan, today is the last day of your assignment right?" Ruka asks (A/N Yes...i skipped days :P...more fighting/training will come later...i will not dwell on lvl 1 payon caves :P lol)

"Yup."

"Lets exchange communicator information so we can stay in touch." Ruka suggested shyly.

"Ok!" Mikan replies cheerfully, "But I forgot how to find my own information."

"Ah here, I'll show you. Press the menu button here, go to settings and my information." (heehee i'm making this like a cell phone in a way i guess)

"Thanks Ruka."

"Here let me add you too" Mikan saids as she enters his information.

"Lets party again later." Mikan suggested.

"Yeah, I'll have free training time coming up some time. I'll let you know when it is." Ruka said.

I wish I knew Hotaru's information so I can call her to talk to her and train with her. Mikan thought.

"Mikan, you ok?" Ruka asks snapping her out of her thoughts.

"Yeah! I'm great. Why do you ask."

"You went silent all of a sudden when I mentioined free trianing time."

"Oh, I was just thinking of Hotaru." Mikan said sadly.

"Who's Hotaru?" Ruka asks curously. He doesn't know what sparked his curiousity but he wanted to know who this Hotaru was.

"She's my best friend since we were kids!" Mikan replied. "I miss her a lot."

"Oh," Ruka replied feeling a bit releaved without knowing why. "You know, I'm in a similar situation. I haven't seen my best friend since I left the novice school."

"Do you miss him?"

"Yeah, but I know I'll see him again. I'm sure you will see Hotaru again too."



"Yeah my other friends tell me that too. I hope I get to see her soon."

"Don't worry you will." Ruka replied with a reassuring smile.

"I got to go now, can I get a warp out of here please?"

"Sure!" Mikan replies and opens a warp.

"I'll talk with you later." Ruka saids before stepping into the warp.

"I guess I should go back too." Mikan said to herself before opening a warp and stepping in.

Please review :)
