Chapter 45

We make it to the workshop with no more distractions. "Ruby I need to upgrade your phone." I said taking out some tools. "Ok while you do that, I'll be thinking about what world to visit." Ruby said handing me her phone. I pull out my own phone, and start working.

After seven hours of work and some play. I upgraded our phones and made a beacon as a precaution, if I didn't I would worry constantly. So we head to Rias' room, and I knock on the door. About a minute later the door opens and I see a blushing Rias. I look in and see Sona. "Oh did I interrupt something, my bad I'll come back once you've finished." I say winking and started to leave.

"No wait we were just talking." Rias said in a rush. "Is that what they call it now, 'talking' huh. Don't worry you continue your 'talking', me and Ruby will go to my room to 'talk'." I said as I grab Ruby's hand and pull her towards my room. Before she could stop me, I already shut my door. "Ok Ruby, let's 'talk'." I said as I pull her close and we made out for about an hour.

Once we finish. "Well that was a good 'talk'." I said with a wink. I get up and go back to Rias' room, and knock. It opens straight away. "Did you have a good 'talk'?" I ask with a smile. Rias just looks down blushing. "Anyway, I want you to have this." I say passing her the beacon. "If I'm not back a week before the start of term or if there is any danger you can't deal with, press this button and I'll come back as fast as I can." I continued in a serious voice.

"Where are you going?" Rias asks with a worried voice. "Just travelling, I'm going to show Ruby this world." I said half lying, with a smile. "Ok but why can't I just phone you?" She asked. "You can, but this is just a precaution." I say with a smile. "Ok then, when are you leaving?" Rias ask with a bit of sadness. "Probably tomorrow, don't worry to much Kara will be here to help." I said worried about what Kara will say. "Does she know?" Rias asks, she can be very observant sometimes.

"Not yet, I'm going to talk to her next." I said with a bit of worry. "You think she might force you, to let her follow you?" Rias asked, where was this when she was trying to hide things. "Yeah, you know if you were this observant when trying to hide things, I might not have found out you and Sona. I said teasing her. Rias just looked down blushing.

"It's been a year, why are you still blushing just by the mention your relationship?" I asked seriously. "It's just, I don't know, happens." Rias said with her blush ever present. "You need to grow up a bit, I know it's kinda strange to be in a relationship, but stop letting your own insecurities mess things up. That goes for you too Sona." I said leaving them to mull over it.

"I thought you liked teasing Rias?" Ruby asked confused, I just look at her. "I do but she has been dating Sona for over a year, and she is still blushing about her relationship. It's not fair on ether of them." I said worried about their relationship. "Well time to see Kara." I said now worrying about that.

We head towards Kara's room. "I don't think it'll be as bad as your anticipating, she has Vali to keep her company." Ruby said while holding my hand tighter. "I might even take them next time, but this time, I just want it to be me and you." I said with a smile. Ruby just smiled and hugged me.

We reached Kara's room and I knock on her door. About three minutes later she answers. "Hello Scarlet is there something wrong?" She asked trying to block my view of her room. I already know Vali's here. "Hi Kara and HI VALI." I shout passed her and hear a voice. "Yo Scarlet." Vali replied. Kara just sighs. "So anything wrong?" Kara asked with a sigh. "Only that me and Ruby are going on a trip." I said with a smile. "Do you know when you'll be back?" She asked.

"Before the start of term." I said, thinking Ruby was right. "Just be careful, and give me a call every so often." Kara said with a caring smile. I look at her and give her a hug. "Next time you and Vali, have to come with." I said with a bit of sadness in my voice. "Of course, that sounds fun but for now you and Ruby go enjoy yourselves." She said with a smile. "Vali you better take care of her or you'll be in for a world of pain." I threaten Vali though the door.
