The last cappa was sort of a fail...

Rein's POV

I didn't know what time it was when I had woken up. But I could tell it was late. My eyes opened to total darkness. When everything became clear, I saw a figure. The blue orbs that stared at me looked mysterious yet hypnotizing.

"Shade?" I said sitting up in my bed. I rubbed my eyes and looked around only to see Fine, Mirlo, and Lione still sleeping. "What do you want so late at night?" I said and yawned.

"There was something I wanted to show you." he said as he gestured me towards the door.

I slowly got up. "What do you wanna show me?"

"Just trust me." He left through the door first. It took me sometime before I caught up. I stayed up late lat night because Fine was telling me stories of how she met Lione and Mirlo at the cooking academy. Ironically Lione's younger brother was friends with Shade for a very long time.

I still didn't know where we were going. My vision was still a huge blur. I was barely able to follow Shade's figure. After a couple minutes my eyes started closing and I felt like I was falling. Before I hit the ground I felt someone catch me. It was Shade. I thought he had been long ahead of me by now.

"Climb on my back. I'll take you there." Shade said. I slowly climbed on his back and he held me up. "You can rest for a while. I'll wake you up when we get there." he whispered. That was when my vision darkened and I fell into a deep sleep.

Suddenly everything started shaking. I opened my eyes to trees and leaves. When I looked forward I saw the back of Shade's head. He was walking on the shore of the beach. The sand sticking to his feet.

I yawned. "So you finally woke up." Shade said as he turned to look at me.

"Yeah, so?" I asked rubbing both my eyes. "How long have we been traveling? I mean I thought you were going to show me something." I said.

"We have been traveling for 30 minutes I guess." he said as he continued walking forward.

I rested my head on his shoulder because I was still tired. "Well, are we almost there?" He mumbled a small 'Yeah' and just continued walking. For some reason he never glanced at me to see if I was alright. Instead he kept his head turned away from me. "Shade? Is something wrong?" He just nodded in reply. I placed my head back on his shoulder and stared at the stars. I wasn't paying attention because Shade had suddenly stopped and I never noticed it.

"Rein, we're here." he said. He bent down and I got off. When walked next to him, my eyes widened in amazement.

"Amazing..." I managed to say. The thing that I stood in front of was a small pool, probably a little bigger than a jacuzzi. But what amazed me most was the colors inside it. The color was a beautiful neon green, then it turned into a neon blue, then light purple. "Shade, how did you find this?" I asked. I realized that this was an isolated pool surrounded by rocks. It had a small opening which I guessed was the place we came from. But even so the small opened would be very hard to see unless you were up close to it.

"Well, when I was little I got lost very late in the day. By the time it was nighttime I had found this place. It's pretty cool right?"

"Of course! I have never seen anything like this!" I realized that it also reflected the sky. "I can see it."

"I knew you would notice it eventually. It reflects-"

"The north star." I leaned over trying to reach it and almost falling in. But Shade grabbed me right on time.

He pulled me back up. "Be careful." he said. I nodded and continued to stare at it. "Rein, did you know that there is a legend that comes with this pool?" he said. I nodded no. "There are actually a lot of legends. But there is only two I remember."

"What are they?"

"If you wish upon this pool while the north star is out, your wish will most likely come true." he said. "So you can wish upon it now since the north star is out right now."

"What's the second one?" I asked.

"The second one is one of my favorites. If you touch the pool and think about the person you love the pool will glow brightly, meaning that that person is the person you are destined to be with. But if it loses its color then that means the person you the love will never be by your side. They say these predictions from the pool are absolute." He looked into the pool.

"Your thinking about trying it aren't you." I said sadly. I knew he was going to think of Fine.

He looked to the stars. "Yeah. But not yet. I'll wait." he said. "We should hurry up and get back. The walk is about 45 minutes back to the villa." Shade said as he got up.

"Ok. You can go first. I'm going to try it." I said.

"Suit yourself." he responded. Then he started walking away.

I stopped him before he left. "Wait, Shade! Why did you only show me right now!?" I asked.

He continued walking away. "Because I knew you would like it more than the rest." he said as he turned around and gave me a smile. It wasn't the same as the one he gave Fine but it was close. So I smiled back in reply. I waited till he was just out of range to notice the light. I put my hand on top of the water so only my palm and bottom part of my fingers touched it.

If its the one I love, I'm thinking of you Shade. I thought. Suddenly I saw a blinding, colorful, bright light appear. It seemed to shoot just barely passed the rocks. I quickly took my hand away and gasped. Then I looked at the pool again. I saw my reflection which had a large smile over it.

I was happy that it Shade was the person I was destined to be with. I got up and ran towards Shade was. I finally made up my mind. I was going to confess to Shade. But what awaited me on this trip was so much words than I imagined.
