Chapter 5: Running with Lightning

KirisunaSAO: Unfortunately, you are wrong. That's for next chapter! The Meds are mainly Kizuna and Lily while Lily's flute acts as a Syn. You know what I'm talking about. Instead of bringing someone new, I'm bringing someone back. :D

SphetheBest: Thank you for your support. Glad you found it enjoyable. I was laughing while writing it. LOL. Though a week can't be that long right? (-_-)

Lumino was browsing through the weapons shop obviously looking at the sword section. Keeping on alert as Tsukino was scaring him. He had is eye on a Broadsword. It looked exactly the same as his normal sword but the damage it inflicted was higher.

His eye darted to Tsukino, who was busy observing how an Axis Blade felt. She caught Lumino looking at her and gave him a wink. Lumino felt his heart skip a beat. He felt to just by the item and leave the store.

Leaving the store after purchasing the Broadsword, the swordsman went to another store in search if curatives. "Let's see," Lumino muttered to himself browsing through his menu to see which curatives he needed.

A camera snapped behind him taking a picture. Lumino turned around to Raiden with a camera in his hands. "Hey Lumino. It's been a while."

The swordsman looked at him. "What's with the camera?"

"THAT'S WHAT YOU ASK ME AFTER TWO MONTHS! Not even a 'hello' or 'how are you',"

"Good to see you haven't changed. Well on the inside at least," Lumino said. Raiden still had his beginner outfit but now he had black jacket over it. He also had a black wristband on. "Say, why don't we go on a hunt for old time sake?" he asked.

"Alright, but Raiden what happe-"

"Alright! Let's get going!" he cheered interrupting the swordsman. Lumino chose to ignore it. He should just go on the hunt and ask later.

"Lumino ran off. Well might as well get some ingredients," Tsukino muttered heading to the market. She still thought about her ways of getting Lumino to talk. This triggered a distant memory.

Flashback

Tsukino came with the dishes of spicy long-bone rib steaks. "Alright, three rib steaks for each of us," Tsukino said giving the party members their meals. Kizuna took his but instead of eating, he just stared into the woods. Lumino was sniffing his meal and asked, "This is spicy, right?"

"Yeah, I used a Leide pepper in the spice but it shouldn't be that bad. Why?"

"I just hate spicy foods. Can't take their heat," Lumino responded taking a bite out of the meat. "Not that spicy but still delicious."

"That being said, why isn't he eating," Tsukino said referring to Kizuna. Lumino shrugged and called Kizuna. After the third call, the card user responded. "Something wrong?" he asked.
