A Love Like No Other

Chapter 15

----Kazuto's P.O.V.----

"I guess we're gonna have four people in the house soon haha" I said, me and Shino were laying in bed, "yea but I'm happy for them" Shino smiled, "I'm glad nobody made fun of them for liking the opposite gender, I wouldn't want that happening to them..." The smile disappeared from her face and she looked sad, "its okay Shino, those bullies are gone, they can't hurt you anymore, plus I'm here to protect you and that's exactly what I'll do, even if it costs me my life" I kissed her on the forehead, she was quietly crying, I wiped her tears away and kissed her on the lips, "we should get to bed" I laid down and motion for her to join me, she did, we both fell asleep within minutes

---time skip, the next morning---

I woke up and felt like going on ALO and doing some missions with Shino, I heard about this quest that will give you the rarest thing in the game, its not a weapon either, we might have to bring the others along with us

So once it was 1:00pm and I knew all of the others were awake I texted them in the group and asked if they wanted to do this quest with us, I told them what the reward was and they all agreed, once we all met up at the base of a mountain we began to hike up it until we found this cve that we were supposed Togo through, "this isn't creepy at all" Klein said, "oh grow a pair Klein" Liz said, we all laughed but stopped once we heard a low growl echo throughout the cave, there were 3 tunnels that all lead in different directions, "the growl sounded like it came from the tunnel on the right, we should go through that one" I said, "are you crazy? Why would we go through that one if we know the growl came frome it???" Klein asked, "because it would want us to go through a different one so we would have to explore each tunnel" I exolained, "alright then, tunnel three it is" he said, "yep" Shino said, we began walking through the tunnel with an average level monster ever now and then

Once we reached the end of the tunnel there was a hole in the wall only big enough to fit the skinniest arm, "Silica, u mind sticking your arm In there and seeing what it is?" I asked, "s-sure" she looked nervous but did it anyways, "w-what the...I think its a lever" she pulled the lever and the wall in front of us began to open, once it opened we walked in and saw that there was an opening above us, "I think we're at the peak of the mountain" I said, "woah" Sugu said, the opening was only a half circle and there was a waterfall that lead into a beautiful lake, the water glistened from the light hitting the water,"the rest must be behind that waterfall, but I don't trust this, its too quiet and it was too easy getting here" I said, "welcome....I am Cirein-Croin....are you group of warriors my challengers?" We heard a deep voice say, "I don't know....I guess so, where are you? Show yourself" I said, "if that is what you wish, I'd like to see the terror in your eyes anyways" it laughed

Suddenly something started to emerge from the lake, as all of the water rushed down we could see its face clearly, it was huge, it puts a blue whale to shame



"U-um, w-w-what is that!? Its huge!" Klein exclaimed, "I've already told you fool, I am Cirein-Croin, guardian of this peak" Cirein-Croin said, "how-how are we supposed to defeat him?" Liz asked, "we fight" I said pulling out my swords, "alright, this should be fun" Shino smirked, "I guess we can give it a shot" Sugu said, "alright guys! Let's go!" I yelled charging at the thing Shino shot an explosive arrow at its face and it was blinded for a second so I jumped towards its face hoping to get a slash at his face but he quickly slapped me away with his enormous hand, I flew and hit the wall of the cave

----Shino's P.O.V.----

I saw Kazuto get hit against a wall "Kazuto!!!" I screamed, "I'm okay! Keep fighting!" He got back up and charged at it, I continued to shoot arrows at it while wall running on the walls of the cave
