Me: YEAH! Chapter 22! Honestly I don't know why I'm so happy about this but I am. Look at my story I think it's pretty long. True it has short chapters but it's the longest I've ever written. 31,591 words, I think that's a lot. Anyways onto the story!

Me: I do not own Fragile Dreams. Like I said if I did Crow would not have died and neither would Sai, Ren, or Seto (*spoiler* the whole story line is Seto telling people what he went through while he is on his death bed and Ren has already died after they went their separate ways; they never saw each other again) so yeah really I wouldn't have made the game all depressing, not happy, but come on, all of them die? Really? Seto didn't even sound old.

Me: Sorry for the rant. Now we will go onto the story. Really!

Flashback:

"Seto," Crow whispered putting his forehead on mine. His voice was deep and unnatural sounding. "What are you hiding?"

End of Flashback:

"What?" I said pushing against his chest failing miserably at my attempt to push him away from me. I felt my face grow cold and my hands started shaking out of fear and guilt.

"I asked you," he repeated putting both of hands against the wall blocking any form of escape. "What are you hiding?"

"What makes you think I'm hiding something?" I asked avoiding his eyes. How on earth did he find out? Is it because he's a robot?

"Your eyes." he said quietly. "Your eyes gave you away."

"I don't know what you're talking about Crow." I said trying once again to push him away but instead he grabbed my wrists and pinned them on opposite sides of my head.

"Yes you do." he said quietly. "I know you do."

"No Crow I don't." I repeated refusing to look him in the eye. "If I knew I wouldn't be saying I didn't know."

"You're lying." he said simply. "And you know you are. I know you are and so does Ren."

Lying? He called me a liar? But how could they have found out? Why? Why couldn't they have just pretended not to know?

"Seto…?" Crow started. I closed my eyes and pushed him away from me. I drew my hand back and brought it across his face with all my strength. I heard the slap moments before I felt it. I opened my eyes and looked at Crow. His eyes were wide and his hand was covering the spot where I had slapped him. Miku was staring at me her eyes wide and mouth opened.

"Don't call me a liar." I hissed through my teeth as I clutched my hand to my chest. My hand felt like it was on fire, I guess that's what happens when you hit a robot. "Unless you have proof that I lied to you about something then don't call me a liar. You can't just go based off of a hunch that I might be lying to you about something."

We stared at each other, neither of us daring to say a word. I can't believe this. Well actually I can. I did…I am lying to them. But I have to. They wouldn't understand. I know they wouldn't How can they understand? How can they when I don't understand? I gritted my teeth and put to fingers to my forehead, I looked at him through narrow eyes.

"I'll wait for you guys at the end of the underground mall alright." I said walking off. "It'll take us underneath the park and closer to the tower. Be careful and don't forget Ren. Miku get Lin and come on."

"O-ok." she said clutching Lin to her chest and running after me. I saw her turn around to look at Crow her eyes wide and confused. I clutched my hand to my chest. I felt my eyes begin to burn with tears and I blinked them back. I don't know why I wanted to cry. Was it because my hand was hurting or was it because I hit Crow?

Crow's P.O.V.

I watched Seto walk away. I felt upset. Feeling upset felt weird, mostly because I don't remember ever feeling upset about anything before, and because I didn't mean to make Seto mad. It didn't hurt when she hit me. But I could feel that she put everything behind that slap.

And I'm sure if I could feel pain then it would've hurt really badly. But I know I hurt Seto. Both physically and emotionally, well actually she hurt herself when she hit me but that was still my fault. And I know I hurt her when I called her a liar. I know she was but I know I shouldn't have said it.

"Seto…" I whispered touching the spot where she hit me.

"Crow…" Ren said stepping out of the store. I looked at her. She was wearing a long black sweater that went half way down her thighs that had sleeves that went past her hands. Underneath she appeared to be wearing a white t-shirt. She had on purple leggings and black combat boats. On her sweater she had a purple outlining of a dark purple rose on her side. She also had a white scarf around her neck and purple ear warmers. The only thing she hadn't changed as the flower she kept in her hair.

"Crow," she repeated. "Where is Seto?"

"She went on ahead with Miku and Lin." I replied not meeting her gaze. "She told us to hurry."

"Oh ok." Ren said as we walked. "Did you talk to her?"

"Yeah." I said. "And she wasn't very happy afterwards."

"But did she say what she was hiding?" she asked.

"She said she wasn't hiding anything." I replied. And I doubt she ever will tell us.

"Well if she says she isn't maybe she really isn't." she replied back. "Maybe she's just worried about something and that makes it seem like she's hiding something."

"I hope that's it." I said. And if it is I really do need to apologize for calling her a liar. But I just have that feeling that there is something she's not telling us. And if so why won't she. Is she afraid that we'll not understand or is she afraid of something else? "Let's just hurry she seems to be really anxious to get to the Red Tower."

"Yeah." Ren replied picking up her speed. She shifted her book bag onto her shoulder better. "Though I must admit I'm surprised we haven't seen a ghost yet."

Seto's P.O.V.

"Seto are you ok?" Miku's small voice floated up to me. "Why are you and Crow fighting.

"You don't call people liars." I told her. "It's rude and not at all nice. Crow called me a liar. It made me upset and angry."

"Are you lying?" Miku asked. "I'm sure Crow wouldn't have called you a liar if you weren't lying."

"I'm not lying." I told her.

"But aren't you?" Sakura's voice whispered in my head.

"No." I thought back. I haven't I just haven't told them anything. If I haven't told them anything then I can't lie to them."

"Is there really a difference?" Sakura asked. "Or is not telling them anything worse?"

"They wouldn't understand." I argued.

"Wouldn't they?" she asked. "Aren't they your friends?"

I stopped walking. We were at the old abandoned train. If we walked through it and out the back and followed the tracks out then we would be out of the mall and close to the Red Tower.

"We will wait here for them." I told Miku. "You and Lin can sit inside the train. I'll wait out here for Ren and Crow."

"Sakura I really don't know what I have and what I don't have anymore. The world is so empty."

"You are in it." she told me, her voice growing gentle. "Crow and Ren and Miku and Lin are in it. I'm sure there are more survivors that are in it. You just have to be patient and look for them. You are the only thing that is standing between the demons that want to destroy what is left of the world and the humans that survived to live in it once again. Only you can change the way the world was and the world will be. Do you understand?"

"No not really." I admitted.

"Don't worry I am here with you." Sakura said. "And I always will be. I'll help you when you need it. But right now your goal will remain the same. Get to the Red Tower. There is something else in there that you will need other than batteries. Much more."

The Red Tower. Grandpa said I'd find more survivors there. But I never did I lost someone and found someone and gained to more friends. But I also heard a voice. Did that voice belong to the Skin Demon or did it belong to something more sinister?

Me: Ok so here is chapter 22. I plan on making two or three more chapter before I end this story. Wow I must admit I do love this story it is so much fun to write even I now have almost no time to work on it. But yeah this was so much fun. I am going to make a sequel to this. I've already made up my mind on that. Please keep reading, we are almost to the end. What will Seto and the group find at the Red Tower? What will happen to the world? Will they be able to save what is left of human kind or will the demons take over? What other demons are waiting for them? Find out soon! ;P
