"You said you wouldn't leave! You said that!" Tears flung from her rose orbs.
"Naofumi! Your not gonna listen to her, are you?"
I felt a soft grasp on my numbed hand. "Please. Who will be these people protectors-- what about ME. And-and you can prove the King wrong. And his daughters."
The hero's throat stiffened as he whispered, "Wheres Filo."
"Outside! S-she outside."
The taller blonde stood. "Whos outside."
I'm sorry guys. But... they need me.
I took her hand in a hurry. And dashed towards the exit in a hurry. My heart was pounding. Pounding out of my goshdamn mind!
Behind us, I could hear the others swearing in frustration. I would continusly ask questions to shun them out.
"Are you sure Filos out there!"
"Yes! Thats how I got here."
"Master Naofumi! You came!"
WE quicky hopped on her feather filled back. Soft and warm, I quickly said, "Filo get us as far as away as possible!"
"Right!"
I felt a gale sting my scalp as our flat accened. The strings of hair softly whipping my cheeks. I heaved and I would continuously look down to see if they were there.
"I'm sorry, master Naofumi." I heard as I felt a soft grasp on my waist.
"You did nothing wrong. I'm used to them hating me anyway."

Why do I feel like I made the wrong decision..?
MY shoulders shook and the brunette beings asked, "Master Naofumi? Is your drink alright?"
I gave a delayed nod and my view returned to the near empty cup. I felt... numb. Not because I didn't make it back home but... I dont know. I thought it would be same. I thought I would feel the same since I was used to the shunning and scolding from the other heros. My heart felt ailed with guilt and sorrow. I believe... I believe I actually began to like those guys. But in the same sense. It made my heart upbeat when the two feminine beings gave whitening smiles every time I caught their eye.
"Master Naofumi?"
"Yeah."
The being advanced. She smelled of fresh roses with a hint of local herbs.
Her cheeks went beet. "Are... you alright."
The ends of my lips barely accended. I rested my freezing palm on the soft surface of her head.
"Im fine. Thanks for asking."
I'm fine.
