She's That Knight Known As Zero

Just as their fight became much more intense, Theo jumped up avoiding the bed of fire that Raven had created, and to their surprise he didn"t fall back but instead remained in the air.

"So he can finally do it," Eureka commented beside Karen.

"He can fly?" Karen asked Eureka.

"That is one of the benefit of their ability. But unlike gravity, they are being supported by the wind itself in order to remain in the air. Look at his feet," Eureka said.

Karen looked up, the battle stopped as Theo looked at himself astonished. There is indeed wind flowing beneath his feet.

"But it won"t be long for him right now," just as Eureka said this Theo suddenly lost balance and dropped to the ground. It"s a good thing that he wasn"t so high.

Karen looked at Eureka as if asking how did she know.

"This is his first time, of course he still has no control over it."

Their momentary shock soon disappeared and the two of them resumed their battle. Raven placed his right hand on top of his left hand and pulled upward. This caused another shock to them, once he had pulled it, there on his hand was a red hilt sword, the blade itself was shaped like a blazing fire, once he had slashed it towards the ground fire ignited from where it was slashed.

But just like Theo, it was momentary as the sword became fire and disappeared.

Karen looked at Eureka once again as if she just saw a ghost.

"That is the ability weapon I was talking about when you all started your training."

"Why didn"t I have such things while we were fighting?" Karen complained.

"The only reason Theo was able to fly was because he is much more acquainted with his ability even before we started your training. As for Raven, he pushed himself to up his training."

"Was that what you were saying back in Archic?" Raven asked as they approach them.

"Indeed that is the ability weapon. Once you have more control on your ability and once you finish this part of the training then you would be able to bring that out anytime that you wanted."

With their new found inspiration all three of them looked more determined than ever.

"We have been staring at the flowers for so long now. Do you really still plan on talking?" Feena asked Hideyos.h.i.+.

"Then what else should I say? We both have confessed in front of your parents last night," Hideyos.h.i.+ replied.

"I don"t know. You are the one who pulled me here," Feena answered back.

"Are you really..." Hideyos.h.i.+ started and paused before looking at her eyes.

"Are you really sure about this? I mean, you could have just said all those things last night because of you wanting to end your engagement to allow Azusa and Mamoru to be together," he continued nervousness visible in his eyes.

"Why wouldn"t I be? I"ve explained the reason last night. I"ve told you I love you and that I wanted to marry you. Do you think I am the type of person who would just say those things because of the heat of the moment?" Feena asked back.

"Then let me tell you as well. What I said last night is true. I want to be with you. I am unworthy in so many ways and I am aware of that. But despite all those things I still wanted to marry you and have my future with you. Will you accept this incomplete me then?" Hideyos.h.i.+ answered.

"Complete or incomplete, I"ll accept you for who you are and what you do. We"ve known each other for a while now. And to think that we were actually together back when we were kids. But I do love you after all," Feena answered looking back at Hideyos.h.i.+.

"And I too, love you," he replied holding her hands.

"I guess this is what Eureka is talking about. She knows that currently we have something else in our minds. We didn"t finalize this last night after all," Feena giggled about their childishness.

"Come on let"s return to them," he started walking before stopping once again and facing her.

"There"s a very important question I forgot to ask you," he then said as he looked at her.

"What is it?" Feena asked trying to think what it is he forgot.

"Will you be my partner? As my lover? I don"t want to go through all the trouble of courting you cause it doesn"t match us any longet. I can just do it on my own way. So will you?" He asked sincerely.

"Courting is obviously not your style, nor mine. I"d rather stop the chase and just be happy once and for all. So of course I"d be with you, as your lover," Feena smiled sweetly.

With smiles on their faces, they walked hand and hand towards the other four.

"Mamoru, I love you," Azusa said just as Mamoru closed the door.

"Eureka is right, I shouldn"t care about anything else other than my happiness. And if you would reject me then atleast I was able to say it. I"ve seen how Theo became better, even though he was broken hearted but atleast he is no longer burdened by his feelings and could interact normally with Eureka. I"ve wasted so much time trying to wait and all. I"ve wasted so much time that I could have used tomove forward and find another love."

"That"s why I wanna say I love you. I love you since we were kids until now. All those things you"ve done for the past months have given me more courage to confess. Cause I just fell deeper in love with you. Will you let me court you?" Azusa finished holding his hand tighter.

It took Mamoru a while to finally absorb everything she had said.

"Are you stupid? Didn"t I say last night that I love you? I have given up the engagement with Feena because I love you. Even before those two became acquainted with us. Way back when sir Leo was still with us. I"ve already seen your determination to become stronger. You were jealous of how Karen and Azusa are holding elemental abilities and you don"t, but that didn"t have a negative effect on you. Instead you stood up and promised to yourself you"ll become stronger even if others would deem you not. The place you and your father would always run has a bid tree in it where you could sit and relax. That"s been my spot for so long and where I"ve watched you run with all your might. I didn"t understand at first, but slowly I became aware that the reason I would always be there other than eeading is because I was waiting for that girl to run in that place and see her determined face."

Mamoru chuckled before continuing, "Who would have thought that I actually was once acquainted with her. And disliked her at that."

"Wait are you saying that that tree where I poured everything out, that big tree, you were sitting there back then?" Azusa asked fl.u.s.tered.

"I have."

(Flashback)

The forest surrounding the house of Leo and his family that stood at the top of a mountain is where the father and daughter would usually run.

At the age of 12, they all found out their abilities. Azusa made an excuse to Karen and Feena and went straight home. But that didn"t help her so she started running at the forest. In the middle of it was real big tree. Upon reaching it.

She punched the tree trunk so hard, despite not having any strength to move it. The sound still caused Mamoru who was sitting on one of the branches to be startled.

"d.a.m.n!! I AM JEALOUS. OF COURSE I AM JEALOUS. BUT I DON"T CARE, I"LL JUST USE THIS TO BECOME STRONGER. I"LL SHOW YOU ALL THAT I CAN BE SOMEONE WORTHY OF STANDING BESIDE THEM JUST LIKE HOW MY FATHER STOOD BESIDE THE KING AND THE HEADKNIGHT. JUST YOU ALL WATCH!!" she shouted.

"Hmmmm, she"ll use her jealousy to improve?" Mamoru muttered to himself as he watch the young girl below who kept kicking and punching the trunk as if throwing a tantrum.

And as days pa.s.sed, Mamoru found himself waiting on that branch for that girl to pa.s.s by and fight with the poor tree.

It saddened him when sir Leo died and that girl came one last time.

"HE WAS MY SUPPORT!! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO ON NOW?!? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KEEP GOING ON?!?!" she shouted as if it was the tree that took her father away.

Mamoru wanted to go down and comfort her but couldn"t move at all. And that is the last day he saw that girl on that tree.

(End of Flashback)

"After that I watched you. I even know you were being bullied. But I know you were strong and could defend yourself and that you could stand up once again. But I regretted that decision so much when I heard how you almost took your and the others life. I thought I should have done this and I should have done that. But I didn"t and regretted it so much. That is also the reason why I couldn"t bring myself to confess. I"m not worthy since I left the person I love to cope with everything on her own," Mamoru lowered his head.

"No, don"t be. Don"t feel that way. If all of those didn"t happen to me, I don"t think I would be this strong right now. Both physically and emotionally. But to think that you actually saw all those things I"ve done to that poor tree. It truly is embarra.s.sing," Azusa replied smiling shyly at him.

"It was actually cute," Mamoru smiled back.

"Will you be my lover then Mamoru?" Azusa asked causing Mamoru to laugh heartily.

"I should be asking that. But of course I would love to be your lover," Mamoru pulled her into a hug.

"I love you," Azusa said as she hugged him back.
