The four teens continued on, with Aichi in the lead for the young boy was eager to get out of the caves; the place where he had spent approximately 4 months.

"Slow down Aichi, we'll get out of the caves sooner or later....."

The brunette sighed, he was slightly worried that the smaller boy would accidentally strain himself too much due to his eagerness.

Sapphires gleamed as the young boy turned around to face the others, a smile gracing his lips.

"Don't worry, I know my limits. there's no way I'm going to let anything bad happen before I see the sky!"

Jades softened at Aichi's comment, the boy was acting strange, however that part didn't worry him because it was only natural that he'd be a little different after everything that had happened.

"I wonder how much time has passed since we've entered the caves....."

Mizuha murmured, half to himself, the cerulean haired boy hummed in response.

"It's hard to tell in the caves........"

The beige haired boy nodded at his lover's response.

"Yeah..... I can only imagine how long it must have felt to Aichi.... Especially since he was alone"

The brunette frowned slightly, he wondered how he would have reacted, not knowing the flow of time, or being alone for so long. Sure he liked being alone, but that didn't mean that he hated the company of certain people.

"The wind is more fresh now!"

Aichi called as he began to run ahead of everyone, causing the oldest to sigh when he watched the blue haired boy slip on some moss and fall.

"I can tell Aichi and Aisen are related...."

Mizuha chuckled as he watched the brunette jog over to help the younger up.

"It's not my fault..... I can't see well without my glasses! I didn't see the moss....."

The blue haired boy huffed as he crossed his arms somewhat childishly. The brunette remembered the younger boy's glasses and pulled them out of his pocket. He then wiped off all of the dirt with his shirt, so that only the blood stains remained on them.

"Here's your glasses"

Kai said as he placed the stained lapis frames on the smaller boy.

"Ah thank you...... though.... why do you have them in the first place?"

The blue haired boy asked.

"Aisen fell into a ditch and I spotted them when I went in to help him"

Sapphires narrowed slightly at the brunettes reply as he turned his gaze over towards the cerulean haired boy.

"So...... I see Aisen fell into the ditch as well....."

Aichi sighed, confusing the brunette.

"You fell into the ditch?"

A small blush crept upon the younger boy's face as he nodded and twiddled his thumbs together.

"Yeah...... Though I couldn't see well then so it wasn't my fault"

"Couldn't see well?"

Sapphires fluttered towards the ground as the younger stopped twiddling his thumbs.

"N-never mind, I'd rather not talk about it....."

The blue haired boy replied softly, Kai pursed his lips slightly and nodded in understanding. It seemed as if after one question had been answered, many more had taken it's place.

When they reached the entrance, Aichi recoiled when the setting sun's rays reached his eyes.

"You okay?"

The cerulean haired boy asked when he noticed his cousin's movements.

"Yeah....... It's just too bright..... I'm not used to it....."

The blue haired boy replied as he closed his eyes so as to not hurt them with the harsh light.

"It took all day to search the caves....."

The brunette sighed half to himself.

"We should probably get back to our house now"

Aisen replied as he stifled a yawn.

"What are we going to do now Kai? I don't exactly know where we are...."

Aichi sighed, he felt exhausted and wated to sleep in a bed, however he doubted that he was anywhere near home.

"We go back to the hotel and get you cleaned up"

"Hotel?"

"Oh yeah, Kai told us that he was staying at a hotel with some other people!"

Mizuha added, the younger boy nodded in understanding.

"I think Aichi should come to Jewelled Strategy first so that he can clean up to surprise his friends!"

Aisen announced. Sapphires blinked in confusion.

"Jewelled Strategy?"

"Yeah it's our favourite card shop, I'm good friends with the keepers so they'll help get you cleaned up"

Aichi shook his head at the cerulean haired boy's offer.

"No thanks..... I don't want to bother anyone"

"Aichi you should go, someone who works there knows where the hotel is so they can show you where to go"

The oldest teen said, his response shocking the blue haired boy.

"Ehhh..... But-"

"No buts, you heard Kai!"

The beige haired boy sighed as he began to lead both Aisen and Aichi away from the cave and towards the city.

The brunette didn't like the fact that he was being separated from his love, however he knew that if Aichi showed up all tattered, the young boy would be too embarrassed to talk properly around his friends.

He gazed towards the blue sea for a few moments, smiled, then turned around and started making his own way towards the city and more importantly; his hotel room to await Aichi.

The walk was decently long, so that the sun had already fallen fully by the time that he had made it back to the hotel.

"You monster....."

Jades blinked before turning towards a slightly annoyed looking blond who was holding a crumpled piece of paper.

"What do you mean?"

The brunette asked, confused as to why Miwa was so annoyed with him.

"You gave me the wrong location..... I spent the whole day searching for that card shop....."

The blond sighed, the brunette had forgotten about the blond for he had been too preoccupied with searching for the blue haired boy.

"Oh yeah..... Well the real card shop name is Jewelled Strategy. Now that you know, I'm leaving for my room"

"Why couldn't you have just told me the name in the first place?!?!"

The blond whined as he slumped against the wall dramatically.

"Tch....."

"Kai......"

Me: that's le end of le chappy~

Miwa: Kai is so mean......

Me: hehe poor Miwa

Miwa: berry you're more mean though

Me: hehe I know ^-^
