Magic Knights Revolution

Hikaru blinked, realizing she got left behind. "Hey, wait up!" she called, running to catch up with the others.

Fuu turned towards Hikaru, ignoring the floorshow provided by the bickering duo in favor of talking to Hikaru.

"You should be more careful, Hikaru-san. This place isn't such a good place to get lost in." She gently consoled the smaller redhead.

"You may trust him, but I don't...  You can never be too cautious." Firia replied as she slung her fist back and shot the ball of light into the tunnel...

The ball bounced off the walls, leaving a glowing trail that lighted up the tunnel before disappating as it reached a large room at the far end of the passage way...

"Who wants to go first?"

[Shukuen]

"I know, Fuu-san. I'll be careful." Hikaru nodded, then blinked as she heard Firia ask who would like to go first.

Peering into the dimly lighted hall, Hikaru sweatdropped a bit as the tunnle suddenly gained an eerie atmosphere. "Uhm... I guess I'll go," she said hesitantly as she walked in.

Fuu pensively bit her lip as she regarded the cave, then Hikaru in turn.

"It wouldn't be fair if you went alone, Hikaru-san. I'll go with you too." She closely followed behind, eyes darting from side as she watched the redhead's rear.

Who knew what was waiting for them in this gloomy cave. And if anything DID come up, well, she could always buy Hikaru the time she needed to fire off a spell, right?

[Shukuen]

"Thanks, Fuu-san." Hikaru shot Fuu a grateful look, before turning back and continuing through the the hall.

Shooting a nasty look at Firia, Umi followed Fuu.

"Hey, wait for me!"

[Shukuen]

Hikaru paused, glancing back as Umi called out. "Please urry up, Umi-san," she called back. "You too, Firia-san."

[RyderHakubi]

Firia calmly walked into the tunnel, railgun hanging loosely in her right hand...

"I'm coming, don't worry... I can't let my escape die afterall..." Firia replied.

Fuu's brow creased in faint annoyance as she heard Firia's words. Was that all they were to this girl? Mindless little pawns to further her plans along.

"Hikaru-san, I don't trust that girl. Not at all." Her tone was soft, with a touch of sadness behind it.

[Shukuen]

Hikaru smiled slightly, though a bit uneased. "She probably just isn't use to us. I'm sure she'll come around after she gets to know us." she tried to sound convincing, though it only came out partially so.

"But...you heard what she said, we're just a means to an end. Can we really trust someone like that?" Fuu whispered back, eyes gleaming with the beginnings of panic.

[Shukuen]

"We really have no choice," Hikaru sighed, loosing a bit of her cheer. She tried to smile a bit confidently at Fuu though. "But like I said, I'm sure she'll come around eventually."

[Anonymous]

Fuu looked at Hikaru in consideration, "I...I'll protect you Hikaru-san. You can use your magic, while Umi-san and I can't. If it comes down to a confrontation I'll guard you for as long as it takes for you to get off a spell."

She blushed and looked away before continuing.

"Its good tactics to protect the most important person, afterall."

[Bean Bandit]

Umi came up behind the two girls, still shooting dark looks over her shoulder.

"I think we're safer with the mosters here," she muttered.
