"Takeru?" Hikari asked, looking at the boy's face. Upon realizing that it was indeed Takeru's face, she gave a shout of joy and hugged her best friend. "I can't believe you're here!" Hikari held her arms tightly around Takeru's back, just as Takeru was keeping a firm hold on his friend's back. Unfortunately, the close contact they had caused the two of them to blush. Neither noticed the other, and were in fact relieved. They were not ready to tell each other yet.

'No...not yet. I'm not ready.' Hikari thought. She was afraid if shattering the friendship that they had founded and kept for the past fifteen years. Little did she know that her best friend was thinking the same thing.

"Hikari," Takeru whispered, breaking the uncomfortable silence between the two, "Do you wanna go somewhere else? I mean, the top of the ship is pretty hot."

"I'd love to." She replied. "Where's your room?"

"Deck 12 of the ship. I think it's room 524." Takeru answered. "My mom and I share a room, while Yama stays with dad."

"What?" she asked, not understanding the situation. She continued to walk with Takeru to the door that led to the inside of the ship. 'Didn't he say that his family was going together? Then what's with the split up family?' Hikari wondered. She felt bad for her best friend. He always wanted his family to be together for a long as possible, and now he's still split up. Before Hikari could ask her question, Takeru was beginning to respond to her internal question.

"I bet you're wondering why, right? Well," he started, taking a deep breath, "My mom and dad are…" He left the last word out, not wanting to admit it to his angel. But he knew he could never hide anything from her.

"I-I don't want to push, but what happened?" Hikari asked. She was really worried about him, and Takeru could tell,

"They…they're…fighting. Arguing. More than ever." He whispered. "I just want it all to stop!" By know tears were making their way to the edges of his eyes, threatening to come out at any moment. Hikari offered comfort to her friend, patting and rubbing his back.

Takeru's tears never left his eyes, but he was still sad inside. But he was happy that Hikari was here. He would be able to let out his pent up sadness and clear his mind. He was done being sad. Right now he had found someone who was special and close to him, and he wouldn't let that moment be ruined.

"Hey, Hikari, do you wanna grab and ice cream? My treat!" he exclaimed happily. His hurt was finally let out, and he was able to see the bright side of things again. 'I'm glad she's here,' Takeru thought, 'If it weren't for her, I'd probably be wallowing in my sadness.'

"Are you sure?" Hikari asked, looking for any more signs of depression on his face. If he was sad, he hid it well, for Hikari couldn't find a trace of anything on his face.

"Positive."

The two ordered ice cream ate while talking about various things from school to sports. They both had a great time finding one another on the cruise. They walked around and viewed all kinds of places in the ship. There were dance floors, glass shops, and jewelry shops. Soon enough, night settled in, and it was time for the two to part. Takeru walked Hikari to her room and greeted brother. Hikari invited him into their room.

"You should rest," she said. "Besides, I'm sure Yamato and Tai wanna talk with each other, right? You can help them find each other later."

"Find who?" inquired a boy with gravity defying hair. 'Tai's hair is still a mess, I see,' Takeru thought.

"You and my brother," Takeru answered, "I'm sure you wan to see him, right?"

"Ya mean Yama's here, too?" Taichi asked stupidly.

"Who else would he go with onii-san?" Hikari said, exasperated. "You should know better."

"Um, Hikari?"

"Yes, Takeru?" she replied, turning her head.

"It's getting a bit late, and you know my mom gets really worried at night. I think it would be best if I leave now. Meet you tomorrow?"

"Definitely. How about…at ten? We can wait for the ship to stop at the island. I hear there are great water activities!" she said, smiling with glee.

"Yeah, that'll be fun," I agreed, nodding my head. "And Tai can hang out…somewhere." Takeru shrugged as he said 'somewhere', making Tai upset.

"Hey!" Tai protested.

"I was only kiddin'," I said, "Tai, Yama's room is on Deck 12, Room 530. My room is 524. Alright, I'll see you tomorrow!"

Takeru shut the door and proceeded to his room, walking down one flight of stairs. Hikari's room was a floor above his. He had brushed his teeth and went to bed early, eager to see Hikari again the next day.

In Hikari's Room

"…Hey Hikari?"

"Yes, Tai?"

"Earlier when Takeru told me Yama's room number…" he paused, unsure of how to ask his question, "…did he say that he was in a different room?"

"So you are using your brain for once. Yeah, his parents are…ya know…" she said uncomfortably.

"…I see. I'll talk to Yamato tomorrow. Right now I think you and I need to get some sleep, especially if you want to meet up with Takeru."

"Alright. Night, Tai."

"Night, sis."
