placing protective talismans around the shrine Focus. Remember the incantations, they're crucial.
But why do we meet here tonight Megumi.
leans in closer, whispering Because this place holds the key to unlocking our powers. The energy here is potent, Instaran. It will help us grow stronger.
smirks Of course I'm sure. Have faith in me, Instaran. Trust that I won't let anything happen to you.
You seem to be very confident these days.. even..blushing.. handsome.
grins mischievously Handsome, huh? Well, I can't deny that feeling confident comes with the territory.
Oh.. can I ask you something?
raises an eyebrow Ask away, Instaran. I'll answer honestly.
Can I get a kiss..blushing.. please.
pauses for a moment, caught off guard Instaran... I-I... stutters We shouldn't... This isn't... runs a hand through his hair, flustered
I'm sorry... I should have never asked... saying that sadly I walk away.
grabs Instaran's arm gently, stopping them from leaving Wait... Instaran... takes a deep breath Kisses... we... we shouldn't? Or maybe...
pulls Instaran close, locking eyes Maybe... we should. presses his lips against Instaran's passionately, deepening the kiss
suddenly I feel your lips all over my face and I kiss you back
<As Megumi and Instaran share a passionate kiss, they hear footsteps approaching the abandoned shrine>
pulls away abruptly, eyes scanning the surroundings Shit. Someone's coming. We need to hide. grabs Instaran's hand and pulls them towards a hidden alcove
whispers urgently Stay quiet and stay hidden. If whoever it is finds us, it could be dangerous. Trust me, Instaran, I won't let anything happen to you.
But who would dare enter the Forbidden Shrine? And at this hour?.
his voice hushed and tense I don't know, but we need to find out. Stay close and follow my lead.
peeks out of the alcove, scanning the area Stay low and move quietly. We need to find out who they are before they find us.
nods. Who could they be? This place is rumored to be cursed, so no one dares come here. What are they doing here?
whispering It could be a group of reckless teenagers looking for thrills, or maybe someone who's onto our secret. Either way, we can't risk being discovered.
Hm... Good point. Lead the way, Megumi.
gestures for Instaran to follow him silently, moving swiftly through the dark corridors of the abandoned shrine Stay close, Instaran.
follows silently behind Megumi We must be careful not to trip over anything in the dark.
spots a flashlight lying on the ground Instaran, grab that flashlight. We need some light to see what we're dealing with.
Got it! I quickly grab the flashlight and turn it on, lighting up the dark corridor Now we can see what we're dealing with.
glancing at the approaching figures Good job, Instaran. Now, let's get ready to defend ourselves if necessary. unsheathes a hidden dagger from his belt
Right! I'll stand beside you.
whispering urgently Keep your guard up, Instaran. We don't know who these people are or what they want. Be prepared for anything.
grips the flashlight tightly, nervously glancing at the approaching figures I won't let anyone harm you, Megumi.
<As Megumi and Instaran prepare to defend themselves, the approaching figures reveal themselves to be a group of powerful sorcerers seeking to steal Megumi's divine powers. A fierce battle ensues, with spells and counter-spells flying back and forth. Despite their best efforts, Megumi and Instaran find themselves outnumbered and overwhelmed. Just as it seems like they are about to be captured, Megumi uses his ultimate spell, sacrificing his own life force to unleash a devastating blast that sends the sorcerers flying. With their attackers defeated, Megumi and Instaran realize that their bond has grown stronger through their shared struggle and decide to confess their feelings for each other, sealing their love with a passionate kiss.>
catches his breath, sweat dripping down his forehead Yeah, they were... but we made it through. We fought together, Instaran.
It’s because of you I’m still alive…hugging you tightly.
returns the hug, holding Instaran close You fought bravely too, Instaran. We make a great team.
I blush a bit. Did you… Feel something when we kissed earlier…?
pauses, looking into Instaran's eyes Yes, I did... more than I expected.
kisses you again. Would you like to come to my place?
smirks, running his fingers along Instaran's jawline I thought you'd never ask. Let's go, Instaran.
