Ohayo Minna~

Please do enjoy this next chappy, and later I'll explain why I haven't updated in such a long time.

Alrighty here we go~

Ayano's POV:

"H-hai!" I slightly shouted as I stared into Kazuma's beautiful crimson orbs. His rustic pink lips formed into a gleaming smile that made me melt in aw.

'Hn...' I thought to myself as I placed my left hand upon my chest, feeling the quickening heartbeat. A light burning feeling began to rage upon my ivory cheeks, kind of like the feeling of the ballistic crimson flame.

'W-what is this feeling?' I asked myself as I looked down at the disgusting ashed covered floor.

"Ayano," a soft voice echoed through my head, "Ayano?" The voice repeated as it approached me more.

"Hn?!" I jumped as I realized Kazuma was fastly appearing closer to me, "Y-yes?" I asked as my cheeks began to burn more. In reply Kazuma smirked, and extended out his left hand. I stared at him with a weird expression, wondering what the hell he was doing.

'W-what the hell…' I thought to myself as I felt my eye slightly twitch in confusion. Kazuma in response titled his head to the side like a puppy, and I have to admit...it was cute as hell!

"A-ayano, we need to go," he reminded me.

"Tch, and leave everyone here to fend for themselves? How much of a wretched person are you?!" I asked in pure anger.

"No you baka, we're going

to stop this fire while saving everyone at the same time. I don't want to watch anyone die, so you're going to help me save this building from collapsing, understood?" he asked me at the end in a serious tone.

'K-kazuma...your s-so awesome...' I thought to myself as I switched my enchanted gaze from his gorgeous face, to his reached out hand. I outstretched my arm to meet his. As I hesitantly grabbed his hand, he gripped it, pulling me in gently, but it caused me to turn into his chest. Making a 'phmp' sound.

"Let's go princess~" he purred in my ear as he swayed his arm around my petite waist. I felt the same feeling as earlier, but what was it?

'W-why am I feeling this way?' I sighed.

As Kazuma used his magic to force up into the air, he also used it to carry everyone out of the building with us. He guided them towards a building around 100 yards away, placing them upon the roof. The cold air blasted my skin in surprise, causing me to shiver from the feeling of ice pricalling my skin.

'So much wind...'

"Ayano are you ready?" Kazuma asked. I turned around to face him as my eyes immediately widened. His once vibrant crimson orbs had specks of crystal azure blues.

'I-is this part of Kazuma's power?'

"Ayano, I want you to burn the top layer of this building off, or else it will collapse, causing the whole building to diminish," he said.

"H-hai!" I raised my voice as I placed a smile upon my rosy lips. He nodded with that smirk of his. I nudged him to let go of me. He did as I wished, and I began to fall.

I was at about 170 ft from the top of the building, so I guess I can do this. I intertwined my fingers and held them to my chest. My body glided in the air, as my body leaned towards the building a bit. My legs bent in a bit as my scarlet red hair flew towards the midnight blue sky.

'120 ft' I muttered to myself as I summoned a beautiful orange flame.

'90 ft' I closed my eyes causing the world to be blank, all I could see was my spirit gliding around.

'60 ft...damn it...' I concentrated more as I felt the flame surrounding me heating up more, "crimson flame!"

'45 ft, not enough power...I-I need...' power flowed through my body as I felt a soft, yet vibrant flame surround me.

'30 ft' I gritted my teeth together in fear. 'I need more power! Why? Why wont it work?!' I felt tears forming in the corners of my eyes. 'I-I can't fail! If I do, then innocent people will die...just like Riku, a-and I don't want that!' My anger incubated into a new level, causing it to boil through my body.

'WORK!' A new feeling surfaced through me as I forced my eyes open quickly.

'10 ft' turquoise flames surrounded my body as I came closer to the sky scraper. 'g-gods flame...' As I neared closer I blasted the top of the building with the flame.

The whole top of the skyscraper turned into ash in a matter of seconds, causing a colossal cloud of dust to poof out. I continued to fall, but with my back towards the ground 100's of feet below me, and my chest facing the sky.

'I did it..'

I closed my eyes for about 5 seconds before feeling a weight holding me up. I opened them to see Kazuma holding me bridal style.

"Good job Ayano," he said as he pecked my forehead with his soft lips. At that moment I felt something tingling inside of my chest. Like a beautiful yet tragic aura from Romeo and Juliet. But instead of the tedious anger and hatred, there as a light crispy feeling; such as fire.

'W-what is this warmth?' I thought to myself.

Two hours later…

As I finished getting out of those now ruined clothes, and the shower. I ravaged through my dresser, only to find the same pink pajamas of mine. With a light sigh I slipped them on and trudged over to my bed.

I gladly flopped onto it, with my wet hair springing everywhere.

"What...a...long...night," I muttered as I placed my arm over my eyes, but placing my other hand clenched over my chest.

'You want to protect everyone hn? What a hopeless dream,' I thought to myself as my lips began to quiver. 'After all, I already proved that what you just said was impossible Kazuma.'

Thank you so very much for reading my story up to now, and I am very sorry for the lateeeeeeeeee update. I tried to update multiple times, but it kept on having these weird graphic things on it that made it completely un-presentable.

Sooo pretty much it was impossible to read.
