Chapter 21 is here~ I don't own cardfight vanguard

Mizuha frowned slighty, all the paths seemed to be good choices except for the middle one.

"Ah maybe the far right path? Since Aichi was hurt he'd have been leaning on the walls slightly, however I doubt that he would have leaned on the moss that covered the far left wall."

The beige haired boy replied after noticing the moss, knowing that if it were him, he'd avoid leaning on the slimy moss.

"..... Yuck! I second that!"

Aisen called with disgust littering his face as he moved his hand off of the slimy moss. he had been curious about touching it.

The brunette smirked slightly at the youngest boy's silliness, however his smirk faded when the blue haired boy wiped his slimy hand on the brunette's sleeve.

"........."

Innocent sapphires looked up into slightly annoyed jades.

"What?"

"...... Nothing....."

Kai replied, thinking that it was too vintners one to argue when he should be paying attention to searching for his blue haired love.

"Shhh, do you hear that?"

Both the older and the youngest looked over towards the beige haired boy in confusion.

"Hear what?"

Aisen asked, rolling his wheelchair up so that he was beside his boyfriend.

"I think I hear running water...."

"We've been traveling beside a small stream for a while though"

The brunette replied, wondering the sound of running water would peek the beige haired boy's curiosity.

"Yeah but it sounds like the water starts to speed up"

Mizuha replied as he continued walking, however with a slightly more speedy pace.

The three headed further down the tunnel, passing multiple forks in their path, however they continued to follow the beige haired boy's lead.

"........ What time is it?"

The blue haired boy asked, blushing slightly when his stomach growled. Mizuha looked at his watch and sighed.

"It's noon, we might as well have a lunch break"

Sapphires lit up at Mizuha's comment, the brunette nodded and the two who were standing sat down on the cool ground.

"Here"

Mizuha said as he pulled out a few apples from his orange shoulder bag and tossed them to the other two.

"Thanks!"

"Thanks"

Both Aisen and Kai replied before they began to eat their lunch. Jades took the time to gaze around the cave as they ate.

"Hey, I have a question"

The brunette said as he finished the apple. Curious hazel orbs looked over towards the brunette.

"Yeah?"

Jades narrowed slightly at the walls of the cave.

"Why isn't it too dark for us to see in here? There's no sunlight yet I can see quite well....."

"Ah, that's because the walls are lines with shards of reflective stone and the moss is slightly luminescent."

Mizuha replied, though neither of the two quite understood what he said.

"I don't understand...."

Aisen sighed, voicing the brunette's thoughts.

"Well, the initial rays of the sun are reflected into here by the many tiny shards of reflective stone, that reflected light is then absorbed by the moss. Then, the light the moss creates is caught by the reflective stones, then the cycle repeated itself"

Both teens nodded in understanding.

"Oh I see, so that's why you didn't bring a flashlight"

Mizuha nodded at the brunette's reply.

"Yeah, I knew that we wouldn't need one and I also knew that I wouldn't need to pack much supplies because everything we need is already in the caves"

Sapphires lit up in admiration as the blue haired boy wheeled over towards Mizuha and hugged him.

"You're so smart!"

"N-not really...."

The beige haired boy stuttered, blushing from embarrassment.

"Stop lying!"

Aisen huffed, causing hazel orbs to look towards the ground.

"Ahem..... Anyway we better get moving...."

The beige haired bit said as he moved out of the younger's grasp, Aisen sighed but nodded.

The three then continued travelling through the caves, always making sure to follow the water source, and if it branched then they'd follow the most likely path for an injured boy to take.

"So Kai, what kind of place does Aichi like?"

The beige haired boy asked after they had walked for quite a while.

"He likes cozy places, why?"

"Because it feels as if we're heading near the back of the caves, which is good if he likes cozy places"

The brunette nodded, understanding what Mizuha meant. he began to feel slightly nervous from the thought of seeing his love again, even though he had given up not too long ago.

"Gah!"

Both older teens jumped in surprise, they both looked back to see a flipped over empty wheelchair on the brink of falling down a newly made hole in the ground.

"........."

"........."

Mizuha sighed and walked over towards the hole and looked down, surprising the brunette as to how calm he was.

"You okay Aisen?"

The beige haired boy called as he peered into the hole, a muffled groan was heard.

"Yeah......."

The blue haired boy replied softly.

"We're jumping down after you!"

Mizuha called before he slipped down into the hole, leaving the brunette to state blankly.

"......."

Kai inwardly sighed as he grabbed the wheelchair and followed after the two. it surprised him that the drop was only a little higher than he was in height.

Jades looked over to see a slightly annoyed Mizuha helping up a slightly dizzy Aisen.

"Sorry......"

The blue haired boy whispered as his sapphire gaze met the ground.

"It's fine...... I'm used to it. however..... you've got to be careful, you could have really gotten hurt...."

The beige haired boy replied as he patted the younger on the head.

The brunette wasn't paying attention to the conversation however, for his attention was snatched by a baby blue cell phone on the ground.

Both younger boys noticed the brunette's odd behaviour and looked at him in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

The blue haired boy murmured.

"Aichi's phone....."

Kai replied softly as he slowly walked over towards the baby blue phone and picked it up to examine it. He held his breath, for the phone did indeed belong to Aichi.
