CHAPTER 1/AN EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA SPECIAL EVENT!

"Balmung-san! Wake up! You've fallen asleep at your desk AGAIN!" Reki said loudly.

"Oh!" Balmung opened his eyes and stretched. "Hello Reki, how's it going?"

"What are you talking about?" asked Reki impatiently. "Sir, your new event should be out in 24 hours and you have been asleep?"

Balmung stifled a yawn, "Oh yes. All the 20 million players are waiting for my next event to appear! This is going to be the best event ever!"

"You say that about all your events," Reki said, "and does that mean you've actually planned this for once?"

"Of course I have," Balmung said offended, "This event is especially for players in the world- there are many of them who are starting to call themselves 'rare hunters'. This event is especially for these rare hunters!"

"WWAAHHH! Zefie called me a GANGURO again!"

"Hey, don't worry! It's okay! She didn't mean it, Rena!"

"Of course she meant it! She says it on purpose!"

"NYAHAHAHA!"

Rena crossed her arms and glared at Zefie. Mireille was laughing.

"Hey, Mireille?" she asked, a thought suddenly popped up.

"Yeah, Rena?"

"How come Zefie never calls you and Shugo names? How come she never changes your hair?" Rena frowned.

Mireille laughed, "I don't know!"

"Because they're nice!" Zefie insisted. "And it's rude talking about someone in their presence!"

Mireille laughed again. "Yeah, you could say that and Shugo, well…" she was quiet for a moment, "I guess everybody loves him to bits… especially Zefie!" she added quickly.

Rena frowned.

"Hey! There's a new event! NYAHA!" Mireille cried.

"Oh! Really?" Ouka added.

Mireille read the event description and punched her fist up into the air. "YAAYYYY! It's a cool event! And there's gonna be RARE stuff all over the place! NYAHAHA!"

"But you haven't even told us what the events about yet," said Shugo.

Hotaru said, "I'm sure it is going to be a wonderful event. Look at how excited Mireille is!"

Mireille grinned at everyone. "It's way cool! See, apparently this event is especially for rare hunters! What we have to do is find a super-duper rare item called the WALKING STONE and bring it back to Balmung and then he'll give us something even more super-duper rarer! NYA HA! We're sooo gonna hafta do this one!"

Shugo raised an eyebrow. "A Walking Stone? Like, a stone that has legs? What on earth?"

"That's not what it is!" Mireille whined as she raised a fist to hit Shugo. "I have no idea why it's called what it is, but obviously there's some reason! We'll find out about its name when we get that item!"

Ouka sighed. "But why should we help you on this event just for you rare hunters? What's in it for us?"

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? We always go through everything together!" Mireille cried and stared at Ouka with shiny, tear-filled eyes.

"Hey, it was only a joke!" Ouka said defensively.

Shugo said, "Of course we'll be on this quest together! Mireille, we're all gonna get that Walking Stone!"

"Aw, thanks Shugo!" Mireille said.

"Now where is that item?" Rena wondered.

"It's on a new island named Lilac Island! There's a boat at the port we can take to get there!" Mireille cried, "Let's go! NYAHA!"

"Wow! Is the Walking Stone around here?" Shugo gasped as he looked around the island.

It was all in a deep shade of gray, black, purple and green. There were trees and rocks and a huge mountain at the edge of the island, as well as thousands and hundreds of other PCs.

"Wow, there are so many people here!" Rena said.

Hotaru hugged her grunty and said, "Oh! Mr. Grunty is hungry again!"

She went to fetch food for her grunty so Shugo said, "So let's get going now, Mireille."

"Okay!"

Rena said, "We'll catch up to you two later, Ouka, Zefie and I are gonna wait for Hotaru."

"So the Walking Stone is around here, right?" Shugo said.

"Yeah!" Mireille said.

They were walking towards the mountain where there were clusters if trees and rocky caves and boulders all over the place.

Mireille looked up into the air and sniffed. "Nya! I think it's gonna rain."

"Huh?" Shugo saw that the sky had grown extremely dark in just seconds. The temperature had also dropped by far.

"Let's go back to the others-" Mireille started, but suddenly a thick mist started surrounding them and it started to rain hard.

"Mireille!" Shugo cried, "Where are you?"

Mireille looked around for Shugo but everywhere she looked was covered in mist. "Shugo!"

"I'm over here!" Shugo battled with the wind and rain to get through to Mireille. He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the mist. They ran to the nearest shelter, a dark rock cave.

Mireille tripped as she ran.

"C'mon, we're almost there!" He assured her.

Unfortunately for them, there were new monsters in that cave.

Shugo got hurt but he finally killed them all and they huddled together in the shelter.

"Thanks, Shugo," Mireille smiled. Then her eyes widened. "Shugo, you're hurt!

She used a healing potion on Shugo and Shugo said, "Thanks Mireille!" he grinned at her.

Mireille stared at him. Then she grinned back.

Rena, Ouka, Zefie and Hotaru stood together in a building where heaps of other players crowded around, waiting for the rain to stop.

Rena looked worried, "Look at how hard it's raining,"

"Oh my," Hotaru cried, "Shugo and Mireille are still out there!"

Ouka shrugged, "Don't worry about them. Shugo can look after himself and Mireille."

Rena frowned, "still…" she said, "I'm worried about them. Who knows where they went? They went to search for the Walking Stone, they could be in the middle of nowhere, where its full of ghost and spirit type monsters." she shivered.

Zefie took the chance to poke Rena around a bit. "Oh yeah, Rena, ghost and spirit type monsters… aren't you eager to fight them?"

"SHUT UP!" Rena cried.

She stood defiantly at the window and stared out at the pouring rain. "As soon as the rain stops, I'm going out to look for them."

Mireille rested her head against Shugo's shoulder, her eyes closed as she slept lightly.

Shugo found himself blushing as he watched her.

"Shugo?" she said.

"Huh? Oh you're awake," Shugo said.

Mireille kept her eyes closed but kept talking. "When the rain stops, let's go look for the Walking Stone,"

"Oh yeah, of course!"

Mireille frowned. She opened her eyes, raised her head and stared at Shugo. "You know what, Shugo? Sometimes, I get confused and jealous of you…"

Shugo was confused. What on earth was she talking about?

Mireille continued, "because you and Rena are the heroes. I know I'm a rare hunter but…" she lowered her eyes, "sometimes I just wanna be brave and strong like you and Rena. You two are the heroes and everything… sometimes… I just wanna play a bigger role like you guys…"

Shugo didn't know what to say.

Mireille looked at her hands apologetically. "I'm sorry. I just… I just wanna be special too! I want to be the hero too… I… Shugo… I-I-I…"

Shugo watched Mireille. Then he said, "I know…" he smiled to show her everything was okay, "that's exactly why this story is just about you. And you- you're a great rare hunter, it doesn't matter whose the hero and stuff, because you're special to me, you're my friend, just like everybody else. And as soon as the rain stops, we'll go look for that jumping rock."

Mireille stuck out her lip. "That's the Walking Stone!"

"Yeah…"

Mireille went back to sleep, resting her head on Shugo's shoulder and Shugo sighed.

He watched the rain pour down and wondered. There was something special about Mireille, and it was growing more and more. And it also worried him- how… how did Mireille feel about him?

With her so close to him, he was afraid of what Rena would think. And he couldn't stop blushing. His face was so hot!
