Edit (1/3/13) : Because of a recent guest reviewer, I feel like I should be saying this. This concept of the story did not entirely belong to me. November Romeo would be the one you want if you want to read the original. I was definitely going to say all this in the last chapter of my story. But as it is, said quite blunty by my guest reviewer, November Romeo owns everything and all rights belong to him. This story is similar to that in theme, but I've already changed it beyond reconizable, so being that, I surprised that anyone could point out anything. Congrats to you, if you can.


Target:Lock On! - Chapter 1 -

"ELSWORD! COME BACK HERE!"

It was a quiet and sunny morning at Elrios High. Almost everyone was in class, waiting for the teacher. Suddenly a loud commotion from the hallway had shattered the silence, breaking it into pieces.

"Do NOT walk away from me, Elsword." A girl with violet hair tied into low pigtails with matching amethyst eyes stormed into the classroom behind a certain red-haired boy.

The people in the classroom watched them, only to shake their heads and roll their eyes; they were only slightly interested. It was just another everyday fight between the Rune Slayer and the Elemental Master. Everyone in the school was used to these little fights. Even transfer students got used to them in a few days.

The said red-haired boy called Elsword turned around and scoffed, "Even if I was walking away, you still would've followed me, Aisha."

"You arrogant cocky jerk!" Aisha screamed, pointing at Elsword. "You actually stood me up!"

At those words, everyone in class had their ears perked up.

Stood up? Being stood up required a date...

So that meant... Elsword and Aisha were dating?!

Elsword and Aisha's relationship was one of the many things in life that couldn't be explained. If people said they were close, they would say that partners, like Elsword and Aisha were, were supposed to be close. If, by chance, Aisha saved a seat at lunch for Elsword, it was only natural that he would sit in it, right?

Many have wondered and a few even tried to ask them directly but they were never answered.

Once even Elsword's best friend, Chung Seiker, a Tactical Trooper, had directly asked the taboo question, "Els, are you and Aisha dating?"

Elsword had merely looked at him and then glanced at Aisha, who was sitting beside him. Their eyes met and a wordless question was asked.

With a nod, Aisha had stood up and declared, "Eldork will be coming to the mall with me!" Then both of them left, with the whole cafeteria staring after them in wonder. And that was that.

Which brought us back to the present.

Elsword and Aisha's relationship was confusing and they both kept it that way by changing the subject whenever it came up. But this time... It was different.

The taboos were said three times in a row.

Taboo number one.

"It wasn't even a date." The Rune Slayer walked to his seat and lazily put his feet on the desk.

"I waited there for hours!" Aisha yelled. "Do you know how cold it was?" She followed him to his seat and slammed her hands on the desk.

Taboo number two.

"And so I didn't come. Why are you so upset? You know me better than that." Elsword smirked and crossed his arms over his bare stomach.

"Why you little-" Aisha was cut off by Elsword.

Taboo number three.

"Besides, you're not even my girlfriend." Elsword ran a hand through his already messy hair, causing the ends to stick up more wildly.

Strike out.

At those words, the Elemental Master's face suddenly turned blank.

Uh-oh. Everyone in the classroom could see that her anger reached its maximum level.

"Fine." The Elemental Master's normally calm eyes held a glint of malice. "Fine, then I could date anyone I want and you can't harm him."

"I promise." Elsword shrugged. "Besides, no one will want to date you anyway."

"I see..." Aisha suddenly jumped on Elsword's desk. Cupping her hands around her mouth, she yelled, "FANGIRLS OF ELSWORD, LISTEN UP!"

Most of the girls in the class turned to look at Aisha expectantly.

Looking at Elsword's confused face, Aisha inwardly smirked, while on the outside a wicked smile spread across her face. "Hey everyone, Elsword is now open for dating!"

She might as well have fired a cannon.

A deafening shriek ripped across the room, as every fangirl jumped to their feet. Elsword only had half a second to think. He cursed and jumped to his feet, running out of the class. Not even a second later, a hoard of girls ran after him.

The rest of the class could only stare at Aisha in amazement and horror. She simply sniffed, pulled out a chair, and buttered her toast.


A/N: This is the ElsXAi I said I would do... Enjoy! Sigh... I really need to work on my third person POV...
