Ch.4
Caitlyn's House morning
Sleeping quietly and peacefully, Hiro didn't hear Caitlyn walk in his room,"Hey Hiro, it's time to wake up so we can get going before it gets busy." whispered Caitlyn gently shaking Hiro who opened his eyes slowly. "What time is it?" groaned Hiro yawning while looking at Caitlyn. "Three o'clock in the morning, the early bird gets the worm." laughed Caitlyn still trying to get Hiro out of bed.
"Forget it, let me sleep more." Hiro complained going back to sleep leaving Caitlyn crossing her arms.
"So, it'll be like that huh?" Caitlyn thought to herself leaving the room for minute and came back in with a bucket of icy cold water.
Dumping it on Hiro, he jumped out of the bed and fell on the ground shivering,"W-Why'd you do that?" groaned Hiro still shivering like wild.
"Because, we need to get going Hiro, rise and shine." laughed Caitlyn walking out of the room leaving Hiro to get ready.
Putting on his armor along with supplies in a satchel, walking in the bathroom, Hiro saw he had a scar along his mouth going down to his neck. Now feeling it, Hiro started to notice his armor was damaged beyond repairs along with his helmet's broken visor,"This stuff looks like it was hit pretty hard with a rocket." Hiro thought to himself looking at the helmet.
"Hiro, I have something to show you, hurry it up." yelled Caitlyn in the living room making Hiro jump.
"Okay, give me a second." Hiro yelled back picking up his satchel and walking out the door going towards the living room.
Walking in the living room, Hiro saw a set of armor like his on a rack, but this armor looked brand new along with a new helmet without a broken visor,"Your armor was destroyed when you were injured, so I asked Jayce to make you a new set of gear." explained Caitlyn letting Hiro examine it closely.
"Who's Jayce? Did he also make the armor I have on now?" Hiro asked tilting his head confused as ever.
"Jayce is an inventor and a defender in Piltover, but no, he didn't make the armor you have now, you made it Hiro." answered Caitlyn tossing Hiro the new helmet.
Taking off the busted armor and putting on the new armor, Hiro finished by putting on his helmet,"It feels great, this Jayce guy must've spent hours on this." Hiro laughed taking the disk out seeing it was sharper than his old one.
"Jayce made improvements from the original design you made, it now has a sharper power disk able to cut through almost anything, the armor is lighter weighted so it makes you be able to dodge and move faster then before, the helmet has a built in target system so you won't miss easily." explained Caitlyn showing Hiro a letter.
"Dear Hiro, you my not remember me due to your amnesia, but I will always remember the work you put in that armor and disk of yours. So please accept my gift I sent to Caitlyn to give you. Let tomorrow shine bright! Sincerely, Jayce." Hiro read while looking at Caitlyn who was smiling.
"Vi just gave you a letter." Caitlyn added handing him a letter.
"Dear disk kid, hope ya get better soon. Tell cupcake to have fun with ya. Sincerely, Vi." read Hiro aloud while looking at Caitlyn who just twitched her right eye knowing not what to say.
"Okay, we'd better be on our way, come on Hiro we need to get going." Caitlyn said finally dragging Hiro out the door.
"But I didn't even have breakfast yet!" complained Hiro while being pulled by Caitlyn.
"Okay, fine, we'll have breakfast, then we'll go, deal?" proposed Caitlyn opening the door to her house.
"Sounds good to me." agreed Hiro following her in the house eagerly.
Sitting down on the couch while Caitlyn cooked, Hiro turned on the T.V to see the show, LoL Survivor season 1 on. Now seeing Caitlyn walk in with two plates of eggs, bacon, and toast, Hiro turned off the T.V to eat. After finishing breakfast, Caitlyn got up,"Hiro, it's time to get going." Caitlyn ordered getting her bag. "Sure, right." nodded Hiro grabbing his helmet and his bag then left after Caitlyn.
"So how will we get to Demacia? It's very far away." Hiro asked Caitlyn tilting his head.
"The Institute of War has portals that we can use to get to Demacia. Along the way, we'll meet some champions so you'll have familiar faces when you become a champion." explained Caitlyn walking towards a portal platform that lead to the Institute of War.
Entering the portal, Hiro saw many summoners before his eyes. "So, what do you think Hiro?" asked Caitlyn walking besides him smiling. "I think this is amazing." Hiro answered knowing nothing else to say.
"Like it? This is where champions without homes can go, but lets head towards the portal to Demacia, shall we?" asked Caitlyn leading the way.
Walking on the sidewalk, Hiro saw a strange flower and kneeled on one knee before it about to pick it,"Hiro! Don't pick it!" Caitlyn yelled turning around, but was too late.
Picking the flower, Hiro's arms were suddenly held tight by vines as well as his legs,"What is this?!" Hiro yelled struggling, but was getting no where.
"You should do well to know not to pick my flowers boy." a female voice growled out of nowhere.
"Zyra, he didn't mean to, he's new here." Caitlyn explained crossing her arms. "He won't pick anymore of your flowers."
Seeing a woman come into view that looked like a plant, Hiro felt her nails against his chest armor,"A new champion is he?" she asked Caitlyn who was tapping her foot impatiently.
"Yes, his name is Xero, now let him go." Caitlyn ordered tightening her grip on her gun.
"Xero is it? Well "Xero", if you ever pick one of my flowers again, you'll become part of my garden, agreed?" Zyra asked jabbing her nail in Hiro's chest piece armor and through his skin.
"I agree!" yelled Hiro in pain as she dug her nails further in his chest.
Letting go, Hiro fell to the ground coughing,"Good bye Caitlyn, may we meet on the field." Zyra laughed disappearing in the ground.
Getting off the ground, Hiro looked at his chest to a hole in it from Zyra,"Xero? Where'd you get that name from?" he asked Caitlyn who helped Hiro walk.
"It's something you came up with before you were injured." explain Caitlyn letting Hiro walk on his own.
"Xero…I like the sound of that. I think I'll call myself that." laughed Hiro walking with Caitlyn.
Finally getting to the portal, Hiro went through it to see a beautiful city with lots of happy people,"Demacia eh? This is amazing!" Hiro thought to himself looking at the city's buildings and sky.
"It is quite great here, I have an audience with the prince, lets get going Hiro." Caitlyn told Hiro leading the way down the street.
Walking behind Caitlyn, Hiro accidentally bumped into a girl making her fall down,"Oh! Sorry ma'm!"
"No problem, I'm okay." she laughed taking Hiro's hand helping her up.
Looking at the girl, Hiro noticed she didn't have normal Demacian clothing, but she had a shirt he'd never seen before and some blue pants,"You're not from here are you?" Hiro asked tilting his head.
"Nope, I'm not from here, but that's a story for another time." the girl laughed with a big smile.
"Irene! Wait up!" another girl yelled running up to Hiro and Irene.
Turning around, Caitlyn walked up to Hiro and now Lux,"Hello Lux, how are you?" Caitlyn asked hugging Lux.
"I'm doing great Caitlyn, I'd like you to meet my friend I'm helping, she's Irene!" Lux cried happily putting her arm around Irene.
"Glad to meet you Irene." Caitlyn said shaking Irene's hand.
"Who's your friend Caitlyn?" Lux asked looking at Hiro curiously.
"He's Hiro, a to be champion soon." Caitlyn explained patting Hiro's shoulders.
"I see, so Hiro what'll you be? Let me guess! You're a marksmen?" Lux asked jumping up and down happily.
"Yep, I'm a marksmen alright." Hiro laughed taking out his disk showing Lux.
"Very nice, well Caitlyn, me and Irene better be going." Lux said hugging Caitlyn tightly. "Nice meeting you Hiro, I wish you luck."
Seeing Lux and Irene take their leave, Hiro turned to Caitlyn who was smiling,"Lets get going Hiro." Caitlyn said pulling Hiro's arm.
Walking to the castle, Hiro stared at it with wide eyes,"Wow, they don't have this at Piltover." he muttered to himself.
"Nope, lets go Hiro." Caitlyn laughed walking in the castle dragging Hiro with her.
"Demacia! Greetings Caitlyn!" a man laughed giving Caitlyn a bear hug.
"You too Garen." Caitlyn squeaked lightly due to Garen's hug.
"Who's your friend Caitlyn?" Garen asked looking at Hiro curiously.
"He's a champion to be, his name's Hiro." Caitlyn told Garen who got a big smile on his face.
"Glad to make your acquaintance Hiro." he laughed giving Hiro a bear hug.
"You too." Hiro gasped being crushed by the hug.
"I have an idea! Hiro! How about you show me what you can do!" Garen yelled drawing his big sword.
Looking at Caitlyn and seeing her shrug,"Sure, bring it on Garen." Hiro laughed drawing his disk and split it into the two disks.
Sparring Room
"Okay Hiro, no lethal moves shall be used, we aren't on the Fields of Justice." Garen explained drawing his huge sword.
"Fine by me." Hiro chuckled taking out his disks.
Seeing Garen charge, Hiro did a U-turn with amazing speed and threw his disks,"Dodge this!"
Turning around, Garen blocked the disks and charged yelling,"DEMACIAA!" Jumping in the air, Garen brought down his sword, but Hiro was too fast and moved behind Garen.
Catching the disks, Hiro threw them again hitting Garen in the side and shoulder,"If this was a real battle, you'd be injured badly already." chuckled Hiro catching the disks again and readied to toss them again.
"True, you are faster than I am by far, but you're more weaker in durability." Garen stated charging again.
Doing another U-Turn, Hiro was about to throw his disks, when Garen spun around hitting Hiro in the stomach with a hilt thus making Hiro cough hard,"If that was a real blow, you'd be in bad shape." Garen pointed out charging at Hiro again.
Hitting a switch on his armor, Hiro felt gears in his armor start to spin together rapidly thus generating electricity rapidly,"Try this Garen!" Hiro yelled dodging Garen's dodge and emitted the stored electricity shocking Garen thus paralyzing him in place.
"What the?" Garen muttered not being able to move, but only see Hiro throw his disks hitting Garen in the stomach and chest.
"And that would've killed you." Hiro stated catching his disks and putting them away.
"Very well done Hiro, you'll be a tough marksmen to fight against due to your speed and accuracy." Garen explained shaking Hiro's hand.
"Thanks, you're pretty good too." Hiro laughed taking off his helmet and holding in his arm while he shook Garen's hand.
"Say, where'd you get that scar?" Garen asked pointing at Hiro's scar on his mouth.
"He got it when Hiro and I tried to catch Jinx." Caitlyn said standing up off the bench and walked towards the two. "The impact of her rocket gave Hiro amnesia too, so I don't think he remembers a lot though."
"Wonderful fight! Most wonderful!" A man cheered getting off the bench and walked toward the three.
"Thank you sir Jarvan." Garen said bowing on one knee.
"No need to bow Garen, and Caitlyn, how are you?" Jarvan laughed crossing his arms looking at Caitlyn.
"I'm well, how about you Jarvan?" asked Caitlyn shaking Jarvan the Fourth's hand.
"Same, who's this marksmen again?" Jarvan asked looking at Hiro noticing the disks on his back.
"My name's Hiro, but my to be champion name will be Xero." Hiro explained showing Jarvan his disk.
"I see, well I'm Jarvan the Fourth, but people call me J4." Jarvan laughed patting Hiro on the back.
Putting his disks away, Caitlyn walked up to Hiro patted Hiro on the back,"Not bad sparring Hiro, you'll need more than that though to survive in the Fields of Justice." Caitlyn pointed out still patting Hiro on the back.
"Okay, how about I spar you?" Hiro suggested nudging Caitlyn who raised an eyebrow.
"Well, if you want it that way, than fine." Caitlyn laughed to herself setting her gun to stun.
Getting out his disks, Hiro ran at Caitlyn who fired her net. Seeing it, Hiro dodged it and threw his disks at Caitlyn, but she rolled away then fired her gun. Jumping in the air, Hiro dodged her attack and caught his disks while in the air then threw them while spinning in the air,"Dodge this!" he yelled spinning in the air.
Seeing the disks, Caitlyn rolled away firing her net hitting Hiro in the air making him fall on the ground tangled up. "Dodge that Hiro." laughed Caitlyn walking up to the struggling Hiro who was trying to get out the net.
"Damn!" Hiro yelled struggling in the net to see his disks coming back to him.
"I win Hiro." Caitlyn laughed aiming her gun at Hiro who freed one hand.
"Not yet!" he yelled catching his disk and cut the rope with his free hand, then caught the second disk and threw them at Caitlyn close range to see her fire her gun hitting him in the chest shocking him.
Getting hit, Caitlyn fell on the ground seeing it was a tie,"You're not bad Hiro."
"Thanks, I still can't move." groaned Hiro on the ground still paralyzed by Caitlyn's shot.
"I'll help you up." laughed Caitlyn walking over to Hiro, but tripped thus falling on him accidentally kissing him.
Feeling Caitlyn get off of him,"Uhhh…" muttered Hiro knowing not what to say.
"I'm so sorry Hiro!" she said quickly blushing more than she ever has before.
Finally being able to move, Hiro got off the ground,"No problem." Hiro said patting her on the shoulders.
"Well, it's time for me to attend important matters such as a strange blinding light appearing in Demacia then it disappeared in an instant." Jarvan explained walking away through the door.
"I must be going as well, glad meeting you Caitlyn, and good luck Hiro." Garen said following Jarvan leaving Hiro and Caitlyn alone.
"Lets get going, we can sleep at an Inn for the night." Caitlyn said leading Hiro out.
"Okay, fine with me." Hiro agreed following her out to see her still blushing.
Demacia inn
Checking in, Hiro and Caitlyn got their room together,"I'll sleep on the couch, you can have the bed." Hiro offered taking off his helmet and put it on the table.
"Fine by me. Your scar makes you look like a killer." Caitlyn pointed out feeling his scar all the way down to his neck.
Feeling her hands, Hiro,"Your hands are cold." chuckled Hiro feeling her hand gently smiling.
"Are they? Well, are you getting cold then?" Caitlyn giggled tickling his neck playfully making Hiro laugh a bit.
"Kinda, I'm getting colder though." Hiro laughed looking into Caitlyn's eyes.
Looking into each other's eyes, they came closer and closer until their lips met. Feeling a wonderful sensation through his body, the two finally broke away and looked in each other's eyes. "Was that for beating Garen today?" Hiro laughed crossing his arms smiling.
"No, that was for a great spar with me." Caitlyn giggled putting her hands on her hips.
"Is that so?" asked Hiro leaning in the couch now looking at Caitlyn.
"Yes it is, we should get some sleep, good night Hiro." Caitlyn said going into bed and turned the light off.
"Night Caitlyn." Hiro replied back falling asleep now.
AN: If you've read my The Journey Story, you'd see I had a small crossover, there may be another crossover with The Journey, I'll see. I've gotten rid of my writer's block, so yahoo! Also, I'd like to say I tried not using the bold when characters say stuff, so give me feedback whether to keep it like this or go back to using bold on every character sentence. Until next time guys! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
