I silently walked with Cole as my head was hung down in disappointment. I had failed Sensei's one and only request- to bring Hikami back.

"Did you hear that Zane?" Cole asked while making a sudden stop. Then I heard the crunch of the snow behind me and turned around to see nothing.

"I did hear a noise. However, I don't see anyone." I said to Cole as I continued to walk. He sighed and continued walking

Later

I stepped onto the Destiny's Bounty and walked straight to my room.

"Hey Zane-"Kai started as I walked by. I ignored him and walked straight past to my room.

I sat down on the floor of my room and pounded the floor and swore. "Why am I such a failure?" I asked myself.

"You didn't fail Zane, You made the correct decision." I heard a voice gently say. I turned around and saw Sensei.

"Hello Sensei." I said and bowed after I had seen him and it had clicked in my brain.

"Zane, you are one of the most responsible young men I have ever met. You will make the correct decision. Hikami will come when her time is right. It is just like when a flower blooms, it could be late or early."

I looked at my sensei and only could nod. I didn't understand what was going on in my head. I was angry and upset like Kai. Yet, I was also feeling that happy tingly feeling in my stomach cavity. I couldn't get Hikami out of my head. "Yes Sen-"I started to only realize my Sensei had left.

Axelle POV:

"I never realized how great of a cook Benjamin was until I ate Flamy's food." I joked while elbowing Jay.

"The thing is- he never uses wheat because his father was allergic." Jay whispered to me.

I turned to see Flamy dishing some gunk onto the plate in front of me. "Bon appetite."

"I hope Zane gets back soon." Jay said very loudly. I grinned and saw Flamy glare at Jay. We all started to eat when we heard footsteps.

Flamy walked out of the room and I decided to scrape my food in the trash. I put the plate in the sink and turned to Jay, Nya, Lloyd, and Sensei Wu and asked," Who wants ramen?" They all raised their hands. I walked over to the ramen and grabbed packages and started counting. One for me, one for Flamy, one for Jay, one for Cole, one for Sensei, one for Zane, one for Nya, and one for the new girl.

I turned around to get the cooking pot and saw Kai walk in looking dejected. "Is Flamy gonna go cry to momma?" I asked while teasing him.

He turned his head slowly and gave me a look that said 'don't you dare'.

I tried again, "Look at the little baby. He's gonna go cry to his sister and her boyfriend." Jay laughed and everyone else sat in silence. Including Cole, who had just walked into the room.

"You- You- You-"Flamy started. I turned to see his body catching on fire as well as the stove and chimney. I turned back to the flame and he was trembling. He softly said," You b*tch."

I was fed up with the stupid flame head that was pushing me around telling me I was stupid and worthless. I decided to see how far it would take to push him over the edge. I turned to him and yelled," Oh look, you can say whatever you want but, once I fail it's all over. "I glared at him.

He bolted.

I noticed a trail of fire throughout the ship. I decided to ignore it to go talk to Zane. I turned down the hall towards Zane's room and knocked on the door.

"Zane? It's Axelle I was wondering if you'd like some food since Flamy's being an ass."

"Just a moment." I heard the monotone reply.

The two of us headed back to the table with Cole, Nya, Jay, Sensei, and a strange girl with silver hair.

" Sorry Zane. W- I didn't mean to worry you." She said with a bowl of ramen in front of her.

Zane's expression seemed to harden and he glared at her. He looked like he was about to talk to her and decided against it. As he decided against it his expression softened.

"Axelle, go apologize to Kai." Sensei said with his voice stiff.

"Or what?" I asked him while glaring.

He paused and sipped his tea and said," You two will sleep on the deck with only one sleeping bag."

I laughed. He thought he had the upper hand but I knew he was bluffing. "Good luck with that." I said leaving with a bowl of ramen in my hand.

"Have fun sleeping with Kai." I heard Cole say as I left.

Zane POV:

I turned to Hikami who was shocked by Axelle. I was surprised by Axelle as well but I was more shocked by Hikami. It almost seemed like there were to people inside of her single body. My situation was bad but not as bad as two souls in one body. I brushed off the weird thought about Hikami and turned back to the ramen noodles Axelle had prepared. They didn't seem bad except for the fact that the noodles had a lack of flavor. I assume that the lack of taste was me and not the ramen.

"Hikami, for now you will sleep in Axelle's room. We will get you a bed after we land which should be sometime soon." Sensei told her. He then turned to me," Zane you and Kai will hold off your training with Lloyd and will instead train Axelle and Hikami."

I nodded and silently ate the rest of my ramen. The meal remained fairly quiet even though Jay was sitting directly across from Nya. I decided I would train Hikami when the sun rose tomorrow. I was about to open my chest cavity to program my alarm clock but I thought I would panic Hikami and decided against it.

Axelle POV:

I thumped towards my room frustrated with Flamy and myself. Damn that stupid flame head.

"You will sleep on deck with Kai. Unless you two would rather sleep in his room." Sensei said while blocking the door to my room.

I growled at him and walked onto the deck to be greeted by Flamy.

"Hey, Blondie!" he yelled.

"What?" I hissed at him. I was not in the mood for his stupid attitude.

"I'm sorry." He said very softly.

I was shocked by his sudden apology and turned to him with my face now softened. "I'm sorry I blew up at you."

"You can have the bag." He said to me while standing up. I watched him walk over to the mast and lean over against it. It wasn't exactly the warmest night and I felt bad.

"We can share, right?" I asked him. I expected him to make a comment about how desperate I was. Instead he came over hopped into the sleeping bag with me. I could smell a slightly sweet scent coming from him. (A/N: I could smell the smelly smell of EVIL!)

"You see that star? That's Virgo." Ka-Flamy pointed up to the sky.

I rolled my eyes." That's the big dipper." I said while pointing at another set of stars.

"My mother loved stars. When I was little she would take me outside to look at the stars with her. I look at the sky before I make any decision." Kai said musing over something.

"My dad loved stars too. He taught me every constellation he knew by the time I was seven." I said to him.

"Your mother must've been very smart and pretty then." Kai said. I turned over to tell him the same about his father but he was already asleep.

Sorry about the slow upload. Stress from me and My beta has made it hard.
