Third chapter!

So this chapter is about the thousand of question that Droite and Kaito gave to each other. So you can find the conversation a little OCC but I will try my best. For anxietyshippers, this chapter it might be boring if you have read so many anxietyshipping stories, which includes 'the balcony' scene from other authors story (who has also better writing skills than me T-T). But I got inspired and I couldn't not include in this story, as an axietyshipper. From episode 50 this scene is really popular for anxietyshippers and it would have been nice if the producers would have done again *psychopathic thoughts*. Just kidding. But it would not be just a chit-chat, it will include also about what's happening in the astral world. Hopefully, they will also have that conversation to give you a little clue about what will they face.

So

Let's

go!

Droite and the Tenjo family were going to the Tenjo residence, as everybody went home to recuperate energy for whatever is happening in the Astral world.

Droite, in their way, didn't exchange many words with them, until they were in their home. She felt really awkward at the thought of staying in the Tenjo residence. She almost felt regretful of accepting to stay with them. Yes, maybe Kaito intended for one or two nights, as she just came from a long journey, but it's not going to be that easy... if she's going there, she knows she can't get out until she can rent or buy a house for living... Until that day, she needs to stay with them. The Tenjo family doesn't have any problem with that. But for Droite, it's really uncomfortable to think to stay in the house of someone you love... But to think of it, it's something positive too. Kaito and Droite can build up those missing pieces and fix their relationship from just colleague, ex-colleague or friends to something even more beautiful from the closeness, and she can check upon Kaito and protect him even more (of course leaving him his space and privacy XD). But after then, she realized that... none of this will happen until the problem in the Astral world will not be fixed (T_T). Droite sighed at the thought of that.

Then they got finally at the Tenjo residence. Droite noticed how huge it was; it has five floors. Well, after all this was the house of the creator of this city... Their door was different than the others; they need to enter their personal passcode for it after Dr. Faker dialled the passcode, the screen showed that it was affirmative. After that, they entered.

Droite was amazed again, the design and everything was really well constructed, she didn't know why she was always surprised! 'It's the house of the creator, after all...'. She also noticed it was a little empty and had many gaps, there were so many places they could have filled the house. But this was the home they lived after the first Heartland Tower collapsed, so they transferred recently and they had no time at decorating.

Dr. Faker showed her extra room on the hallways, which was not that far away from Kaito's...

It was nice, the room wasn't that empty at all, it had many types of furniture, which were empty. And if she needed anything, Dr. Faker gave her the permission of filling the room however she wants.

It was dawn now, they haven't taken too long to come here, as it was really close to the tower.

Orbital 7 live here too, with his master and his family of litter bots. They actually take care of the house when they have the opportunity, and most of the time play with Haruto. Obviously, Haruto doesn't play with them all day! He works with his father. As he had the power of opening dimensions, he learned stuff about them throughout that experience, which he does further research with those little litter (and orbital) bots, along with Byron. Orbital 7's family comes with them to work, so that's why they don't really take care of the house often.

After a few minutes, she opened her suitcase and brought out some of her clothes, and changed her clothes to more comfortable house clothes. She wore a sweater with black stripes, a skirt of black colour and white stripes at the end, which reaches her knees, and slippers.

She then immediately went on the balcony of their house, which has a stunning view; it was relaxing to see the sunset. As Droite reached the railing. The startling skyline of Heartland City leads to her deeper thoughts about her future. At that moment she felt someone else's presence. It was Kaito.

"Kaito?"

Kaito walked next to her in the railing and faced her. "So... what made you come to make this decision?" Kaito asked.

"It's a long story..." Droite replied, unsure how to find the right words.

"You have all the time... if you don't want to tell me, it's fine..." he was still pressing on it, which Droite could feel it.

After a few minutes, she replied. "I just needed to stay alone for a while."

Kaito then thought inviting in his house, with many people would be a problem for her. "So inviting you to come was-"

"No, I don't mean that way! It's just that, I kept myself away from what I wanted to do," Droite said, watching the view. Which made Kaito perplex, again.

"...I don't want to be a manager..." Droite mumbled looking down, Kaito than showed an understanding look.

"That's not I wanted to do... The job your father offered me is what I am looking forward to." Droite then faced Kaito and continued.

"The reason why my brother and I separated is that, I want to live my life as I want and him to live as he wants," Droite responded with a twinkle in her eyes, as the sunset illuminated her hazel eyes.

"What about him?" Kaito insinuated with a questioning look, but Droite got the vibe.

Droite turned her face towards the view again. "He has a career, he does what he loves, he's happy, I helped him to fulfil his dreams." Droite resented.

"But don't you think-"

"If he didn't convince me, I wouldn't have come. I'm still worried about him and I miss him already, you know how he is... but he said to me to trust him, we thought it was better for both of us to leave each other some space..." Droite soothed in a low voice, as she... felt lost, and her words didn't match her thoughts.

"Well, I hope you'll be fine with it. Besides all, I'm happy to see you again, and see that you're fine," the photon duelist said, smiling.

Droite's heart fluttered to see him smiling at her, but didn't show it though. "I'm happy to see you too."

Then something came to her mind. "What happened in the Astral world?" Droite asked with a worried expression.

Kaito's face immediately turned serious after hearing the question, but it didn't ruin everything, it still was a serious topic. "In the Astral world, the power of Chaos is threatening them again. The fact is the Barian world held Chaos, negative energy, which Astral world banned many years ago, as they thought it was impure. Chaos is a really important resource for the Astral world's energy, without it, they become ill. After the war has ended, with the Numeron Code, they made the Astral world and Barian world as one world. But from that, something strange came out of that, something we didn't find out yet..."

"You guys seemed tired, what happened?"

"There was some source, some people of Astral kind, who are different... they were the ones keeping us away from knowing what's happening..." Kaito said, deep in thoughts and bewilderment.

"They're your enemies then... Anyway, the relationship between Chaos and Astral world sounds like a positive & negative reaction almost..." Droite murmured.

"What did you say?..."

"What?"

"Say it again!"

"I said it looks almost like positive & negative reaction... Because, the Astral world can't live without negative energy, and the negative energy would be impure alone without positive energy, which is in the Astral world. It's kind of staying in balance..." Droite said thoughtfully

"Positive and negative?... balance?..." Kaito thought about it as Droite spoke, what did Droite mean by that?

"You don't need to think about it. It was just an understatement-"

"No! You're right! It makes sense now! I have a theory!"

"Re-really?"

"Yes! Something has begun gathering the power of Chaos, because of an unbalance of power!" the photon duelist said thoughtfully. This might be the reason for all happening.

"But I thought that any other Barian power of Don Thousand has vanished... after it passed to Nash. Yuma and Astral beat him..." Kaito muttered thoughtfully.

"What?... Who is Don Thousand?..." the butterfly duelist asked.

"He was the God of the Barian world, we defeated him and his power. In fact, it should have brought you guys back."

"Ohh! I understand..." then she continued.

"It seems like Astral can come to our world... last time we saw him, he has duelled with Yuma and loses-"

"Duel?"

"Ah!... You... weren't here yet..."

"..."

"Kaito... how have you been... since then?..."

Then the photon duelist faced the view. "Nothing hurts Droite. It was my fate as a true Galaxy Eye Master, and save the world from Barian world's grip-"

"So you rather prefer to die for a-a name?!... It honours you, and anyone deserves that name more than you, but, what does it matter if you're not here anymore..." Droite's expression saddened after saying this.

It was obvious that Droite just thinks about Kaito's health, and don't understand that there is more behind this... He didn't fight Mizael just for the rivalry to determine who is the true Galaxy Eyes Master, but also for gaining the No. 100 for activating Numeron Code, (which was possible being the true Galaxy Eyes Master and winning this duel) and help Mizael to gain his true memories, so he would know he's under Don Thousand influence and he's using the Emperors to reborn, therefore he doesn't need to have a grudge against humans so Mizael will not be a threat anymore. But he couldn't explain all to her, so he said something that might her realize she did the same thing, because of the backstory. Health doesn't matter if it saves the loved ones or the once we want to protect.

"Why did you duelled Tron? Why did you fight the Barians, even if you knew that both of these battles you could have died?"

"That's different... I fought Tron because for the temporary allegiance I sworn to Mr. Heartland-" Kaito chuckled a little bit, because of how Droite was lying to him. She said the same thing even in the WDC. Fortunately, he wasn't loud.

"-and I would have been in trouble if I didn't. And the Barians, because I needed to payback Yuma, I tried, but then I pathetically lose."

"You weren't pathetic, you did what you could, and what you needed to do, which honours you. By the way... what do mean by 'you would have been in trouble if you didn't duel Tron', I think duelling Tron is already far worse than any punishment that insect reserved for his employees."

"I just did my work-"

"You don't need to lie. Yuma told me everything..." Droite froze after hearing this. Then silence falls between these two.

'Why Yuma would tell Kaito about my duel...' and then she remembered, 'Tell... that person... to remember me'. 'Oh... I told him... Wait, does that mean Kaito knows... my feelings for him... no way! But he said 'Yuma told me everything'!'

"Yuma... told me you duelled Tron... for me..." Kaito said what Yuma told him. Yet, Kaito doesn't know Droite's strong feelings for him as he cut him off when Yuma was about to say it, but he had a mild knowledge of her affection for him after the news Yuma brought.

"I'm sorry if I haven't got time to say it earlier... but I appreciate it."

"Kaito... thank you... it... means a lot for me... for to hearing this," Droite faced the view again, and covered her face with her many lilacs bangs possible, so Kaito wouldn't see her face was already a tomato.

"..." an awkward silence fell again between these two (again!).

Then after a few minutes, they felt another presence, which Droite was really relieved for it as she couldn't bear this awkward situation anymore.

"Haruto?" Kaito called him.

"Nii-san, Droite-san! The dinner?"

"Oh, I almost forgot-"

"No, you need to rest. I can prepare your dinner."

"Wait, you don't need t-"

"Don't worry. You need to rest, Kaito!"

With this Droite was about to dragging Kaito to the bed as he needed to rest, but of course, he refused. Then Haruto and Droite dragged him together, and they finally succeed.

The conversation OCC or not is up to you. It was difficult to change the conversation. I would have liked to write about the cooking but I'm tired (I think I have a condition called laziness). Anyway, there are some few facts. First, the building, anyone is sure where they lived, but in 72, after a second it shows the collapsed tower, you can see an intact building which has rhombus windows, the same as the one in the scene Kaito was thinking, facing the windows (which scene he has eyelashes XD). I couldn't count how many floors it was because of the curves that the building has. Second, the astral world. So that was all my imagination and if Zexal III existed, it would be really different, but, at the final episode, when Eliphas and Ena were talking about the upcoming danger, we could saw some kind of a giant hand with red thunder, so I thought it's a barian energy. So with this explained, the third chapter finishes there. See you next XD
