Follow Your Heart(A NicoMiu Love Story)

"How Far She Goes"

Miu and Kaida was back in their repesentivive schools Miu was kinda shocked about what had Happened today.

Miu's Flashback

Steady and focused, Miu stared at the wooden training dummy standing before her a distance away.

She narrowed my eyes of golden-brown in intense concentration as she held the blue fire sword in front of her, trying to aim perfectly at the dummy. Her grip on the sword grew increasingly tighter in determination.

Sweat oozed from her face as she breathed slowly from weariness. She had only been training for a short amount of time and she was already close to beat.
Doubt in herself and her own skills caused her hands to shake like fragile leaves, her grip on the scepter loosening by the second. Radiant clenched her teeth slightly, forcing herself to keep her grip on it, but she just couldn't shake off this feeling of uncertainty.

Miu:"(Steady, Miu...")

A tense Miu thought to herself and bit her lip, trying to halt her trembling as sweat continued to fall.

Miu:("Steady...")

Suddenly she ran towards the dummy and swiped across the dummy's front with force of intensity, tearing through it easily like it was mere fabric.

Retaining her grasp on it, she collapses on her knees and bows her head, panting in sheer burnout as sweat raced down her forehead, much more than there was before.

While she did remain increasingly weary and exhausted, she knew she couldn't stop. She couldn't. She knew she had to grow stronger. She knew she had to hone her skills.

Miu:"(For Nicole, stay strong for her.")

Not only that, just when was she gonna strike? The unpredictability of Irina's actions put Miu on edge. She could even strike at this very moment, and-

Clap. Clap. Clap.

Miu's head jolted up in alarm and she glanced around in caution. Her entire being entangled in trepidation, she scanned through the surrounding trees in her training area with eyes of vigilance. As her gaze hastily scoured throughout the place, she noticed a figure standing by the trees. She halted her scanning abruptly, her eyes meeting with the The Foot Clan's newest addition, and perhaps a favored addition at best - Nicole Saito/Irina

Reclined against a tree, she slowly clapped in a bravo-like fashion, in genuine appraisal of her crush's improving prowess.

Carey(Controlled Nicole):"Bravo. Just as I expected from my love one."

Carey wore an impressed look on her face.

Carey(Controlled Nicole):"Nothing else I'd expect from you, Miu~"

Halting her applause, her eyes slowly enveloped open, darkness as obvious and clear as crystal piercing through the looks of Miu.

Miu froze for a moment as she comprehended the fact that her friend was standing right there, a distance away from her. Gasping, she scrambled onto her feet.

Miu:"Nicole...!"

Irina(Controlled Nicole):"Ah, I see you've missed me."

Irina was much more pleased at the presence of Miu, smiling delightfully with an eerie air.

She confidently stepped out of the shade, advancing towards her with strong conviction.

Irina(Controlled Nicole):"But really, you didn't have to worry about me while I was gone. I can reassure you, I've been accommodated quite well..."
