"Takishima! Where's Hope?" Shiki asked and realised that Takishima was missing as well.
"Shiki! Look out!" Yuki shouted when she realised a fire ball flying towards him.
"Scorpio! Ted Crasta!" Shiki said.
"Okay!" Scorpio said as a water shield appeared around shiki and the fire ball disappeared.
"Where did you take Hope and Takishima?!" Shiki shouted at Gaito.
"Oh... My my, What's this? Why are you so worried of your adopted little sister?' Gaito asked.
"What?!" Shiki asked in shock," how did you know?"
"Of course i know, you know why?' Gaito asked as an image of a woman who looks like Hope appeared beside him.
"That person.." Shiki said.
"She's my wife and Hope's mother.." Gaito said.
"It can't be! Hope can't be your daughter! If she was your daughter then why?! Why did you abonden her in the mountains?!" Shiki shouted at him.
"Because her mother was killed by your mother!" Gaito shouted as he threw a rage of fire dashed towards him.
"Move it," a male voice said to him.
"Huh?" Shiki asked as a water shield appeared in front of him and the fire ball disappeared again.
"Shiki!" Mizuki shouted," are you alright?!"
"Yeah.." Shiki said and thought, 'Who was that? Natsume..?'
"Natsume?" Mizuki asked," who's that?"
"Huh? Oh no one..." Shiki said and showed an annoyed expresion.
"Oh.. I get it..." Mizuki said and whispered into his ear," your boyfriend?"
"Huh.... No!" Shiki shouted," he's just an annoying perverted jerk!"
At the bottom of the crack...
"Hope! Hope! Takishima shouted as he looked around the hole and saw Hope lying on the rocks, unconcious.
"Hope!" Takishima said as he ran towards her," hang in there!"
"Stay away from me," Hope said.
"Hope? You're okay?" Takishima said as he ran towards her.
"i said stay away from me!" Hope shouted at him.
"Hope..." Takishima said as he walked towards her.
"Stand back!" Hope shouted as a rage of fire raced towards Takishima.
"Ugh!" Takishima said as his backbone hit a rock.
"I thought i heard an explosion from that crack," Ayame said.
"Explosion?" Yuki said as she landed on the ground and looked inside.
"Stop it! Hope!" Takishima's voice echoed to them.
"Takishima!" Ayuzawa shouted and flew down the crack.
"Ayuzawa!" Ayame said as he caught her hair.
"Ouch! That hurts y'know?!" Ayuzawa shouted at him," and let me go!"
"No way!" Ayame said as he pulled her up.
"Ouch!" Ayuzawa shouted.
"Shut up!" Ayame said.
'Ah... His true colours are finally appearing...' Mizuki thought.
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion.
"Takishima!" Ayuzawa shouted as she started to cry.
Then, they saw Takishima carrying Hope in his arms appear before them.
"Takishima, are you alright? You're covered in bruises everywhere.."  Yuki asked.
"It's all her fault," Ayuzawa said.
"Don't blame it on her,I'm sure she didn't mean it," Takishima said and looked up.
"Where's Gaito?" Takishima asked.
"Ya, where is he?" Zero asked.
"Maybe left already," Yuki said and realised that all the cracks have disppeared as well.
"The cracks are gone.." Ayame said.
"Where's Naru?" Shiki asked.
"He's gone.." Ayame said.
"Gaito took him away," Mizuki said.
"Eh?!" Yuki shouted," if you knew, why didn't you tell us or stop him?!"
"Because i was too curious why Takishima would risk his life for Hope," Mizuki said.
"Can't you just read his mind?" Zero asked.
"Those kind of things are personel," Mizuki said," I don't wanna be a busybody.
"Now that you mention it," Ayuzawa said as she looked at Takishima," why are you carrying her like that?"
"Because she's sick?" Takishima said.
"Anyways, let's go and find Naru," Zero said ," cause i can't stand seeing that girl cry. (Note: Zero's weak against a woman's tear.)
When Mizuki turned to see, she saw the angel with dark yellw curly hair sitting on the bench crying.
"You're that girl, Mikaru... The one Narumi likes," Mizuki said.
"You are his students right?" Mikaru asked.
They all nodded their head.
"That girl... Is she unconcious or dead or sleepiung?" Mikaru asked.
"Unconcious," Takishima said.
"If i'm not wrong you're the prince right? Prince of afternoon," Mikaru said.
"Ya," Takishima said.
"Your two sisters are here but where are your two brothers?" Mikaru asked.
"I'm sorry but we only have two brothers in total, i don't recall having an extra brother," Mizuki said.
"Oh... Okay.." Mikaru said and thought,' I thought that they had another brother called Natsume..'
'Natsume! Shiki was thinking about that just a few minutes ago!' Mizuki thought and looked at Shiki.
"What?" Shiki asked.
"One minute.." Mizuki said as she pulled her away from the crowd.
"I wonder what happened.." Yuki said.
"I'll bring Hope to the infirmary," Takishima said and walked away.
At the side..
"Tell me who this Natsume guy is.." Mizuki said.
"Why suddenly so interested..?" Shiki asked.
"Mikaru was thinking of him as our brother," Mizuki said.
"Okay... I met him when i was three.. Then, he was four. I met him while i was watering the flowers in the Royal Garden and saw him sitting at a side, bruises all over him. I brought him back to my room and helped him clean his bruise. When i went into the toilet to get a wet towel and came out i found out that he wasn't there anymore. But ever since 4th grade he has been helping me whenever i was in danger like what happened just now.." Shiki said.
"I see... Thanks," Mizuki said and ran away.
"..."
At the infirmary..
"It's done, just put her down on the bed, i'll be going out for a meeting now, help me take care of her," the doctor said as he placed an ice pack on her head to cool her down.
"Okay," Takishima said as he laid her down on the bed and the doctor left and closed the doors.
"Hope you idiot.." Takishima said as he bent down to kiss her.
At the library..
"Nope.." Mizuki said as she put back a book into the shelf and took out another one and continued the action continuesly until she heard someone," Mizuki?"
"Yukihara.." Mizuki said when she saw him.
"What have you been doing? I haven't seen you since Yuki transferred here," Yukihara said.
"Yukihara... I've.. I've been... b ...busy.." Mizuki stammered.
"Oh okay.. Sorry for interrupting you..." Yukihara said.
"No! Wait! Yukihara! It's alright..." Mizuki said as he grabbed his hand.
'Oh shoot!' Mizuki said as she let go of her hand and said," Sorry... My hand slipped." (Note: Yukihara is a teacher)
"It's alright," Yukihara said and smiled.
"What are you looking for?" Yukihara asked.
"Nothing.. just some information about the previous generations of my family and the twelve horoscopes," Mizuki said.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you! You remember that the sports festival is coming up right?" Yukihara said.
"Yea, what about it?" Mizuki asked as she flipped through the pages of the book she was holding.
"We already got the teams sorted out," Yukihara said.
"Really?" YAY! Which colour group am i in?" Mizuki asked.
"You are in silver," Yukihara said.
"What about you?" Mizuki asked.
"I'm in the Emerald and surprisnly we are in the same event running as the last runner," Yukihara said.
"Oh okay.." Mizuki said.
"What's wrong? You look kinda down?" Yukihara said.
"Huh? Oh nothing! Nothing at all!" Mizuki said and fake a laugh.
Yukihara took her hand, pulled her towards him and hugged her.
"Yu..Yukihara!" Mizuuki said.
"Keep quiet," Yukihara said.
"But we're in a library!" Mizuki said and looked at the people who were looking at the them.
"I said keep quiet,"  Yukihara said as he bent down to...
