Kazuma….

Please be safe…..

After all…..

Your not allowed to die…..

I thought to myself as I ran down the darkened hallway. Black ash began to sway throughout the darkened room as I made my way out of it. The hallway finally ended as I entered the dining room, which was now a mess.

I gasped as I covered my mouth with my hands. The once beautiful crystal chandeliers that were hanging upon the ceiling, were now shattered across the tiled floor. The floor of which they had fell on was covered in enormous mounds of debris, and even holes had formed from the clash. People laid on the ground unconscious…..while some were...dead. A few people seemed to have made it through the traumatic event, and were yelling trying to get help.

I gulped as I tried to fumble out words, but I couldn't. Tears began to form in my eyes as I started to run.

Kazuma….

I gritted my teeth together with pure brute force.

Kazuma!

A tear fell down my cheek as the world around me became blurry. I stopped in my tracks and plummeted down onto my knees. Feeling the ash cling to my torn up dress and to my shaking legs.

Kazuma…...Kazuma...Kazuma! I yelled in my thoughts.

"K-kazuma….." I weakly mumbled in fear of not hearing a response.

I clenched my fist together to the point where my nails were digging into them. My mouth began to quiver as I tried to form the words. My eyes still filled with tears, threatened to spill out. My heartbeat grew rapidly, pounding out of my chest.

"Kazuma!" I yelled with more confidence, but still no response.

I stumbled back onto my feet quickly while shouting," Kazuma get up right now, or else I will kill you myself!" I huffed after my violent declaration to Kazuma.

"Now now princess that w-wasn't very nice," I heard a certain devious voice from behind me.

Eh…

I turned around quickly to see Kazuma barely standing with blood dripping down his forehead. He began to cough, but it was no surprise since the level of ash in here was miserable for anyone.

"Kazum-"" Oi, who's going to kill me?" He asked in an angry tone as he pulled on my pancake like cheek causing it to turn red.

"Gomenasai!" I yelped in pain, he then let go with a sigh.

"Now….since I am not dead, how about we turn our attention to….hm…. the building thats collapsing." He said with a smirk.

"Hai," I said with a smile.
