A/N: This next chapter is about more recruits in Lakewest Town after they succeed in retaking the entire town. Valentine's Day is coming up knowing that both Seed and Lene are about to take more of their romantic rendezvous unlike Chapter 8. Also, I'm still sick from my stomach so I have to recover very soon. Here is the next chapter.

Disclaimer: I really don't own whatever romantic scenes from either the TV series or the Is it Love? games and I'm still disgusted over Ryan Carter's extra love scene from his main story route.

Chapter 13: I'm Loving you Tonight

Lene finally casts her Divine Dagger Rune by unleashing Piercing Light due to the powers inherited by the Beast Rune's incarnation as it creates a rain of white light blades to decimate most of the Silverian Army. Then she pulls off her combo with her double-sided tonfas in both punches and kicks as the last blows slams both of her tonfas to knock them down. She then kicks the other three times to show off her feats. Renzo succeeds in defeating the soldiers while Damian attacks them with his double axe. Sean manages to defeat several of them due to his Tokkosho being detachable into two swords as he reforms the two weapons back to it's normal state, knocking them down. Therefore, he saw more soldiers approaching only to be incinerated by Seed by casting his Fire Rune using Fire Wall.

"Thanks for that, red head."

"You should be careful too, mockingbird." Seed smirked in arrogance as one of the soldier attempts to attack him from behind only for him to grapple him down and kills it. As soon as the Silverian Army retreats back to Two River City, Seed chases them and casts Rising Sun from his Fire Rune by summoning fire chakrams to incinerate most of them and became surprised to see him doing it. "Wow, I didn't know I had Lucia's very own spell from her Rune?"

Most of the soldiers including the reformed Higheast Army succeed in retaking over the town as the townsfolk were hiding over their homes and became surprised to see them driven off the Silverian Army as its remaining soldiers flee back to Two River City. Lene was impressed to see them as she casts her Divine Dagger Rune using Divine's Blessing to heal everyone as all of the villagers are astounded to see the light, and they represented her as a heroine.

"It was the princess..."

"My goodness, she save our lives..."

"Wait..."

Lene was surprised to see most of the villagers are gathering to see her as a heroine and to the surprise of the party and all of the soldiers. Both Sean and Seed watch Lene into thinking she was a heroine.

"I'd never thought Lene would ever become a heroine. Just like these youngsters who had their Runes and becoming heroes to make a victory over war."

"She deserves it." Seed said while having his arm crossed and became disappointed to himself. "As for me, I'm a little ashamed because I'm still represented the enemy. Now that I finally adjusted to your timeline by now. I'm now portraying as an ally for her."

"You get used to it, red head. I think it was the right time for you to step up your dukes and fight." Sean said convincing him to make things right which he agrees.

"Yeah yeah... I'll try..."

As soon as everyone decided to take a rest at the town, Lene explores the town and she even recruited a man named Hondu who likes to have a bathhouse business around the Higheast City. Then a kid named Minako who look after the livestock which she convinces her to join as well as the appraisal named Shifu. As she enters to the store, she saw Seed competing against a gambler named Gojyo who plays the chinchirorin.

"Oh man, it's a 4... you got me, red dude."

"You know I don't usually gambling. I just tried playing with it."

"Is that a chinchirorin?" Lene wondered which Gojyo became surprise to her appearance.

"Well look who that is... a beautiful lady knows about the game."

"Lene, you know this game, right?" Seed said while looking at her and he smiles at her. "I wouldn't expect a feisty princess can even do it."

"I think I decided to join with this beautiful lady if she beats me in chinchirorin. It would be 5000 potch."

"Sure... I could take a gamble." Lene said as she shows her wallet to both much to Seed's horrible shock.

"When did you get that wallet!? There's no wallets at my time and all we carry our money within those sacks..."

"Hmmm, you don't have a wallet to keep your potches, haha..." Gojyo laughed over his reaction and he decided to show a black leather wallet. "Considering I will join your entourage, I will give you this wallet for free if she beats me in the gamble, what do you say?"

"Wow, that wallet is made of black leather looks expensive." Seed said shockingly and he convinces Lene to beat him in chinchirorin. "Okay, Lene... you beat that guy in the gamble. I want to have that wallet for myself."

"I wouldn't expect you were keeping a sack of potches. Anyway, if that's what you like then I would beat this guy in a gamble. My dad forbade me for doing this..."

"That will be 5000 potch."

"All right, let's play that game."

"Okay, I'll go first..." Gojyo said as both played the game while Seed watches the entire scene.

Gojyo throws the three dice into the bowl where he got a 5 and it was Lene's turn in which she got a 6. Seeing that she was winning the game. She soon bets another 3000 potch to take on another round where Gojyo throws first and he got a 1 while Lene throws and to his shock, she got triple.

"Three of a kind. It's triple. Oh damn, I lose..."

"Yes! Yes! She did it!" Seed smiles in excitement that Lene wins the gamble and Gojyo was amused to see her playing the game.

"You're not bad... Anyway, I'm glad that I'm gonna join this army of yours, young lady. All right, I keep your promise. I'll join your group. Glad you had your company..."

"Thank you..."

"Oh and here's the black leather wallet that your whiny friend of yours wanted to have it. I think it's about time to go to that city." Gojyo gave Lene the black leather wallet as he travels to Higheast City.

"Here you go, Seed. Happy now?" Lene said as Seed reacts when Gojyo calls him a whiny.

"I wouldn't be happy if that guy just called me a whiny. Who does he think he is?"

"You can earn a lot of potches if you don't spend it too much, Seed." Lene said telling him as she leaves the scene as she teases him. "Maybe because he noticed how stupid you sound."

As Lene leaves, Seed became shocked when Lene said it to him as he thought.

I do not sound so stupid. I was like this when it comes to war battles especially to Lord Jowy and Culgan.

As everyone is gathered Renzo informs them in how to retake Two River City especially tomorrow Tougou and Clemont will visit this town to clarify in how to get through the city. In the middle of the night, Lene was asleep as the woman reappears to observe her movement and noticing her fate of becoming the heroine of this world.

"Your Rune has finally serve as your guide. The incarnation of the Rune of the Beginning has already chosen you as it's true master. It was your true bearings that you will stand to fight for the war is within your blood on your veins. Time will wait if you might able to create a balance within it's power."

The woman disappears in a blue light and Lene wakes up and she looked at her Rune on her right hand. She was still depressed over the loss of Stefan as she lowers her head, crying remorsefully. At the other side of the house, Seed looked at the wallet he obtained and he never had this on his time. He was seen in a gray Henley shirt and white trousers and he goes out on a fresh air.

"It was a beautiful night..."

To his surprise, a white dress and panties was on the ground and he overlooked to see Lene skinny dipping at the fresh waters. She looked at Seed who is around as she backs away while covering herself while the latter is also turned.

"Seed! What are you doing here?!"

"I'm asking the same question too, why are you here, Lene? And... you're swimming at the ocean, bare..."

Both became blushed for a moment until Lene angrily reacts on his presence.

"You shouldn't be here, Seed. I just can't forget about Stefan."

"Not that guy again..." Seed replies and he angrily faces her. "I know he's dead for being executed by that old fool who's really your half-blooded uncle! Can't you understand that! Especially, we're not teenage lovers who keep looking away to show off our skin. We're growing up adults already."

"..."

"I dare you, Lene... I would swim just like you. I can't believe someone like you would even take a dip at the ocean waters." Seed points his index finger at her which Lene responds in protest.

"You're out of your mind..."

Seed smiles to see her protesting if he would come to her. Because she was dipping at the ocean waters, he insisted to get close to her as he took off his shirt and trousers as he dip into the ocean waters. Lene was unwilling to see him who normally complains about the water being so cold knowing that both of their bodies were completely bare beneath it. She soon became surprised when Seed is behind her, hugging her bare back as she faces him with her cheeks became rosier.

"You better move on without him, Lene. We'll avenge his death, I swear it..."

"You're being a air head, Seed." Lene replies finally agreeing to avenge Stefan's death. "Okay... I know he was the person that I cared so much until he mistreated me so badly. You truly cared so much about me."

"I can't let a princess being mistreated with an aristocratic man just like me. But for now, we better spend our romantic time between us." Seed said nicely to her which makes Lene smile at him and both finally make out, spending their romantic time together and it zooms into a full moon.

The next day, Sean came to find them both and to his surprise, Seed still carries the wallet he had obtained yesterday as Lene goes off to see Renzo and Risho who were waiting for both Clemont and Tougou.

"That wallet looks expensive, red head. How did you get it?"

"I got it from the gambler that Lene participates in his gamble. I really don't have these at my time and all we kept are just sacks." Seed answered which Sean teases him.

"With that calm look on your face... Don't tell me that something happened between you and Lene, isn't it? It's like a blossoming romance..."

"Romance between two people are for real adults only. Lord Jowy and Lady Jillia would even do that despite they were married in underage." Seed said telling him about the weird relationship at his time. "The two maybe inseperable but they were minors. I know Luca Blight wouldn't like this kind of relationship either... but it's for the best without him. I would expect Lady Jillia would even getting pregnant because of their love between them."

"Wow... I'd never thought something like this would happened." Sean said surprisingly as he tells Seed to come with him. "Come on, red head. Lene and Renzo are already at the docks and both Tougou and Clemont will be there."

As the two went to the docks, both Tougou and Clemont arrive to see Lene, Risho and Renzo and they were here to discuss in how to retake Two River City from the Silverian Army. Knowingly, Two River City takes on three towns, one is for humans, the other is for the Wingers and the last town is for the Kobolds which were lived by Melvin. So they planned to retake the human town within the city first.

"The most important thing is we need to infiltrate the town and to rescue my father. The town was inhabited by Wingers, they became slaves for the Army as most of the residence were hiding at the sewers. This also happens to the Kobold community."

I remember that, that's before Solon was executed by Luca from his failures. General Kiba and his son are the ones who attempt to taking over the city in Two River. But it went backfired because of those three communities within the city are using their power to drove us out.

"We have to save the Mayor of Two River first. Then, we'll save the other towns living in the city." Lene said knowing the strategy.

"That's good... we're getting for the fireworks for them." Tougou said and everyone is surprised to see them getting ready to retake Two River City.

Suddenly, the Divine Dagger Rune unexpectedly glows on Lene's right hand and one of the listening crystals is resonating itself causing her to run all by herself.

"Your highness..." Tougou said worrying for Lene's safety as Seed sees something was wrong.

"Her Rune is glowing by itself. I don't know where she's going..."

"Here Seed take this sack. Marik forges it for Lene to use on her tonfas." Clemont gave Seed a sack filled with explosive tasers and the other being a flash taser.

"That flash taser... she used it to blind that classless oaf so that I can escape. Okay, I'll gave it to Lene..."

"It appears that she carries the listening crystals which is why her Rune was connected to her. She might be going to the Kobold Village." Risho said knowing of the location of where she is going.

"A village of Kobolds..." Seed said as Sean wants to see for himself.

"Hey, if we get through that place. We can go..."

"Legend has it, the maiden is able to summon a powerful unicorn who decided to stay at the maiden's stead. The unicorn is in fact one of the members of the White Circle." Risho explained clearly to both.

"A unicorn, huh?" Seed said as he smirks. "Maybe that would be the reason why Lene is forced to get through that town. Don't worry, we'll bring her back."

"Perhaps, I would like to come with you to find Miss Lene, both of you. I want to see the entire village of Kobolds." Clemont decided to join entourage with Seed as he agrees.

"Sure, you can come with us."

"I heard a guy from a Warrior Village who is tested by the girl who drags him out into thinking she was sick. All they did is just a ruse." Sean said as he remember the person from a Warrior Village. "I can't wait to list the entire incident takes place on that town."

"Good luck in finding the princess, boys." Tougou said as Renzo tells them.

"And you Seed, make sure that Lene is safe."

With that, they depart Lakewest Town to Kobold Village in order to find Lene.
