After some time out on the ground, Keitaro finally came around and woke up. There was no indication as to how long they had been down there, or anything else that was around them. The area was completely black. Keitaro sat up, feeling immense pain jolt down his back as he did. The fall hit him hard and he was unsure as to what damage may have been done, but that was the least of his worries. He stood up; overpowering the pain he was in to find out what kind of room they were in. Once he finally rose to his feet, he remembered Naru had fallen on top of him.

"Naru" He shouted, totally unaware of the size of the room. His words bounced back at him suddenly, echoing off a nearby wall.

Keitaro began to feel around for where she was, crawling on the ground feeling his way from place to place. The floor below him was smooth for a pit in the ground, almost perfectly flat in most places, only hindered by the few areas of raised earth or rubble that had fallen from above. He continued feeling around the small room for a few moments before his hand moved onto something a lot softer than the ground.

"Ah, Naru, there you are." He lifted his hand for a moment before he was met by a light punch from the weakened Naru.

"So, you think now is really an appropriate time to grope someone do you?" She said as she slowly got up, Her voice still broken from the impact she had taken but still savvy enough to let Keitaro know he was in danger if he didn't do something fast. Keitaro realized where he had put his hand and began apologizing right away.

"Sorry Naru, I swear it was an accident, I was just trying to find where you were." He continued on trying to convince Naru of his mistake.

"Oh alright, I believe you. Besides, this is hardly the time to be fighting. Where exactly are we." She tried to get her eyes focused but could only see black all around her.

"Well, I can only guess we're in some kind of pit from when we fell down." Keitaro spoke clearly again, his voice echoing loudly back at him. He took a seat beside Naru to prevent any repeats of what had happened earlier.

Keitaro continued explaining to Naru what he had found so far. "Its only small and feels as though it has been crafted or something. One thing is for sure; this isn't any ordinary pit, which means there must be a way out." He paused for a moment running a potential plan through his head. "Here's what we can do, we will get up and find a wall, and from there we can look for any imperfections that may be the sign of an exit."

Naru agreed with Keitaro. She was somewhat overcome by the fact he was so serious and focused on the situation at hand. He could have done anything in the pit and the only people that would have known would have been the two of them, so he must really respect her and be a true gentleman, Naru though as she got to her feet, still running the odd situation and Keitaro's actions through her head. Her thoughts were cut short as Keitaro grabbed onto her hand. Her mind was set clear and she too became focused on Keitaro's plan. She squeezed his hand tightly, afraid of what could happen and not wanting to let him go. Keitaro had been there for her all the time, from the moment the two had met. Even when she was mean to him he still helped her no matter the cost on his own side of the bargain. The two walked forward looking for a wall to stop them, and after a few steps, Keitaro's free hand met a cold hard wall to stop him in his tracks. Just a moment later, Naru found the same wall, and they both stood in front of it with one hand on the wall checking for something that may help them out. Slowly they circled the room, their hands scanning up and down the smooth walls of stone, still completely covered in darkness. Due to the size of the room, it didn't take Keitaro and Naru long before they realized it was circular. Further and further they traveled around, still holding onto one another so they wouldn't lose each other, until suddenly Keitaro's fingers met a ditch in the wall and he came to a stop. The unaware Naru continued her following search behind Keitaro until she got to where he was and bumped into his side.

"Oh, sorry Keitaro. Why did you stop looking?" She asked him whilst regaining her balance from hitting Keitaro.

"I've found something here, a small indentation in the wall." He continued to run his finger along the wall… the indentation continued around in a circular shape, that was roughly the size of the palm of his hand. Naru moved her hand over in the darkness along the wall in front of Keitaro until she too could feel the circle. The two stayed where they were, now trying to figure out what to do next. The two stood there thinking about this circle and how it could get them out. Naru broke the silence.

"We fell a good 15 or so feet, so the odds of this being some way to climb out are slim to none, and besides, it isn't deep enough to get any grip on so it cant be to climb."

"True, so what exactly can it be for?" Keitaro pushed up against it trying to see if it was a marking for a certain point in the wall. After a few seconds of effort, the only thing that was moving was Keitaro as he lost his grip on the floor below and fell to the ground, causing Naru to fall on top of him.

Normally this would result in an awkward moment, but due to the darkness, Naru hardly noticed. On the bottom of the stumble, Keitaro noticed everything that was going on. He felt Naru's arms landing just above both of his shoulders as he laid, arms out wide from the fall as though we were about to catch the worlds largest ball. He also felt her falling knees, one landing to the outside of his legs and the other landing in between, a few inches away from a very painful situation. He knew exactly where Naru was, every aspect, as though he could sense her presence like a bat. His mind slowly went blank, and he raised his arms slightly from the ground, the first sign to himself that he was still alive. Slowly he lost control of himself and his arms slowly rose higher, still weak and fragile from all the damage. He wrapped his arms around Naru, and bought her close to him. His mind yelling at his body to stop what it was doing, but as much as he tried to fight what his body was doing, but he couldn't stop himself. No matter how much he would deny it to himself, and no matter how kind and gentleman like he wanted to be, be couldn't change the fact he craved something more from Naru. Keitaro had held back for so long, respecting everything about Naru, but deep down his mind was being driven crazy by the thoughts he had about her. He held her close to him, feeling her warm body press up against his weak self.

Naru began to object, but all she could get out was a soft "Keitaro" before she was silenced by Keitaro's kiss, sealing off any objections in a sensation of which Naru had never felt around him before. Keitaro kept her that way, making sure she couldn't say any more, and slowly rolled her over so that her back now felt that cold touch of the ground. He broke their kiss, adjusting himself and her into a more comfortable position than having his hands still wrapping around her and pressing into her back between her body and the ground.

Naru felt something pressing up against her back as Keitaro let her back down. It pressed into her in an awkward way, causing her comfort to suddenly be broken.

"Keitaro, hold on." She said in a rather louder voice than before as she lifted herself up and reached behind her back. "There's something under me here." She continued as she felt the ground below. She came across what she was searching for in the pitch black. The object felt like a ring, possibly the one that they saw back at the top of the pit, it was about the same size, and was a perfect circular ring just like the one they had spotted from the roof. Naru sighed, somewhere along the way she had gotten caught up in the passion and didn't want the moment to end, but if she cast the ring aside, any use it may have would be lost. It wasn't everyday you came across a beautiful ring like that one, so it must be of some significance, thought Naru as she ran the options through her mind. She decided to let logic take over as she shuffled out of Keitaro's embrace, the ring still in her hand.

"Sorry Keitaro, but I think we may have a way out." Her mind had a burst of clearness and everything became apparent to her as to what she had to do. She gave Keitaro 1 small kiss, merely a peck to let him know she was still happy with him and not about to kick his head off as she used to, and then got to her feet. She acted much faster than before, possibly due to the thought of escape, or possibly due to her clarity, though unsure how she had the sudden burst of energy, she walked over to the wall, which was still cloaked by darkness and she searched for the marking they had felt before. After a few seconds of an educated guess at where it was, she felt the area they had discovered earlier. She took the ring that she had in her hand and placed it into the carving. It sat in there perfectly, like a key in a lock. Naru let go of the ring and it stayed there perfectly while the oblivious Keitaro stood behind waiting for something to happen or for Naru to tell him what exactly she was doing. Only a few seconds had elapsed before the ring began to glow with the same blue that they had seen on the ring when they were at the surface. The glow illuminated the entire room, making everything visible. The walls of stone, as smooth as they had felt, the floor, covered only in bits of dirt they had bought down with them when they fell. Naru gazed at the ring, that was the first source of light she had seen in what she had thought to be an eternity. It wasn't long before her trance was broken and she quickly turned to face Keitaro, who was just staring at the glowing ring too. This had been the first she had actually seen of him in some time and she was relieved to see that he hadn't been badly injured. There was no mark on him more than a scratch or two. Naru ran over to him, only a few paces away due to the size of the room, and threw her arms around him. The shock of the experience finally set in for her and she placed her head on his shoulder and wept. Keitaro wrapped his arms around her to comfort her, keeping her close and never wanting to let her go. Their visual reunion had lasted only a brief moment before it was cut short by the rings illumination changing. It began to glow a deeper blue, only for a moment before starting to spread the color across the walls. Quickly the glow spread around the room, covering the walls and floor like it had been give a glowing paint coating. It wasn't long before the entire room glowed with a deep blue. Naru grabbed onto Keitaro even tighter before he turned her so they were looking the same way. Both of them gazing at where the ring was that had turned into just a wall of blue the kept light in the room. All the blue then began to flow from the walls to the floor like water traveling down a glass pane. All the light then gathered on the floor of the room, intensifying the power of the light. The light swirled around itself, forming a whirlpool effect around Keitaro and Naru for only seconds before it shot a powerful beam from the ground, covering Naru and Keitaro, and filling the entire room. The two had their vision once again rendered useless, this time only able to see blue. Even their own bodies were so overpowered by the blue light they couldn't be seen. The light stayed that was for a minute that seemed to the two to be forever. They could do nothing more than stand where they were, holding each other, and watching this unexplainable event take place. Soon enough the light began to die down, falling from the roof back to the floor. Once it had exposed their faces they looked up to see another person looking at them. A woman aged about 20 years old. She was everything beauty was described to be. Here eyes shining in a pool of blue, here long black hair glowing from the light that was dropping to the floor. As she was further revealed to the two, an elegant long blue dress began to reveal itself, the fabric flowing around her and appearing to never come to an end. The light finally stopped on the floor and sat there illuminating the room blue again. Keitaro and Naru gazed at the woman for a second before Keitaro noticed a beautiful ring on her finger, a blue band, much like a smaller version of the one they had seen at the top and that Naru had put into the wall. On top of this ring floated a tiny blue stone, which looked to be held there by nothing. Keitaro and Naru were left speechless as they admired and studied the woman who had appeared in front of them.

The woman began to speak in a soft and quite feminine voice. "You look afraid, but fear not. My name is Sapphire, and I can feel that you have been in the presence of Onyx. For this I know you are an ally or you would currently lay slain. It's a pleasure to meet you friends, may I hear your names."

Keitaro and Naru stood there, still taking in what had happened. A woman appearing from nowhere wasn't something that the brain processed fast. Keitaro then remembered a similar thing happening with Onyx. And finally got the courage to speak.

"I'm Keitaro and this is Naru. You wouldn't happen to be a guardian of one of the stones of Amzuth would you?" He questioned her, his voice now confident with the knowledge she trusted them and not dangerous.

"Why yes, so I see Onyx has told you of our history. I am Sapphire, guardian of the 2nd stone." She raised her hand and led their eyes to the stone that sat on top of the ring she wore.

"Excuse me, Sapphire," Naru began, her voice still broken and shaky from the shock of all the events that had happened. "You wouldn't know how to get out of this place would you?"

Sapphire smiled and raised her hand up to the sky, which was still covered by the roof of the room. "Certainly" She spoke, with a small chuckle in her voice. "Lets get out of here." After she spoke, the floor beneath them began to rise to the top of the room, and once half way, stopped completely. The walls began to glow with some blue markings, one of the shapes of a ladder and another to the shape of a door, there were other glowing objects that made the room kind of look like a home. Furniture, decorations and other things were spread across the walls. At the top was a small square glowing blue with a handle. A way for them to get out shining 10ft above them.

Sapphire snapped her fingers and the ladder came from the glowing blue mark on the wall, leaving the stone blank and unmarked. The ladder then bought itself over to them and attached the top to a spot on the roof near the square marking and the bottom attaching to the floor below it.

"What was…" Keitaro began to ask, not having words for what was happening.

"Call it easy storage" Sapphire said as she motioned them up the ladder.

A/N: All a little to continent having a stone under the Hinata apartments and that one being to one that has a house there too… well I needed somewhere for sapphire and onyx to stay and really don't wanna go to far from the apartments, so I don't the cliché lazy writer thing and put it right where I needed it, not where it would logically be… also, sorry for the long time to update (To all my 5 fans). I should be updating more frequently… also, if you object to lemons later on… plz tell me now so I don't get tempted to write them
