My POV:

"H-how…..wait…I don't even wanna know." I said with a smile. *I have something in store for them. I saw that look they were giving each other*

"You guys were amazing!" Penelo gushed as she jumped up. Deo and Sem chuckled.

"Are you guys sure you can continue on? We can rest if you want." Jrew asked them. Vaan stood beside me.

"Nah it's ok. We're almost there anyways." Sem replied. We nodded and continued on. The guys were behind us girls, so we stayed in our little groups and talked.

I looked at Deo, "So what was that look you and Sem gave to each other huuuuuuuuh?" Penelo smiled at her too. Deo looked at both of us weirdly.

"What are you guys talking about?" she asked. We smiled.

"Nothing." Penelo and I both answered. "Nothing at all." Everyone was silent after that was we continued to walk through the cave to get to Archades. Once we got there, we walked up to the seemingly endless stairs and finally got to the top.

"We made it!" I shouted happily as I let out a cheer, jumping up and down with Penelo. I felt someone grab my hand and started pulling me in a direction.

"Now now Hikari, we can celebrate later. For now, we have to get to Larsa and Basch." Vaan told me in a joking manner. I smiled as we made our way to the Imperial Palace. When we got to the entrance of the palace, I could already feel a scowl making its way to my face. There were about 5 guards guarding the palace, their eyes making their way to pierce through us.

"We need to talk to Larsa please." Deo said formally.

"Sorry, no one allowed in here. Especially petty teenagers." one guard decided to say.

"Petty?" Jrew asked with a scoff.

One of the other guards let out a deep laugh. "I think you mean a bunch of rotten and ugly adolescents." I gaped and shook my head in disbelief.

"Oh HAAAILLL NO mothafucka, I'm about to go ghetto up your ass SO hard you will-" I was muffled by Sem putting his hand over my mouth.

"What's going on down here? I can hear someone shouting all the way from the top." Larsa said a bit teasingly.

"Larsa!" Penelo exclaimed. Sem let go of my mouth.

"These douche bags you call guards wouldn't let us in." I explained with a small smirk. Moments later, Basch stood by Larsa's side. The guards were looking at us in disbelief.

"Come along you guys. I was expecting you." Larsa said with a smile as he and Basch led us inside. As I passed the guards, with their mouths slightly still ajar, I let out a 'humph' and crossed my arms with a small smirk playing on my lips. Basch and Larsa led us into a meeting room, so we all sat down in chairs, Larsa being at the end of the table. Basch removed his headgear and placed it on the table.

"Judge Ffamran has requested to meet you at Cerobi Steppe in….4 days at noon. Talk traitor to traitor." Jrew explained. I could see a hint of a smile on Basch's face. *What's going on?*

"I see. Well, we have four days. You should be able to rest yourselves in that 4 days enough. We'll need strength. There will probably be a lot of guards." Larsa replied after a while. We nodded.

"So Larsa! You doing ok?" I asked him happily. He smiled and nodded.

"I am doing fine Hikari." Larsa answered. "You doing ok without your brother? You must miss him." I smiled slightly and nodded.

"I miss him a lot." I replied. Larsa then turned to everyone else.

"If it's ok, you guys can stay in the palace for the time being." Larsa offered. We smiled.

"Thank you!" Penelo, Vaan, Jrew, and I shouted. Sem and Deo said it a bit more calmer than us. We all got up and talked to each other first. As I talked to Basch, I could see Sem and Larsa quietly talking. *Hmm…wonder what they're talking about…* I pondered as I walked over to the girls.

"Hey Hikari. Larsa told us earlier that a maid would come in a few minutes to show us to our room." Deo told me. I nodded as I sat down in one of the chairs. Just as Deo said, a maid came in to show us our rooms. We walked down a corridor after bidding Larsa and Basch goodbye.

"This will be the ladies' room." the maid explained as she pointed to a room. We thanked her and went inside. In the room, there were three beds and a dresser, along with a vanity and a connected bathroom. Me being the first one to go in, I threw my backpack on one of the beds and ran into the bathroom with my toothbrush and toothpaste. While I was going to the bathroom, I let out a loud groan as I looked down. I saw red. *Fuck my life…* I sighed as I went through the cabinets under the sink and found just what I was looking for. I put a pad on and grabbed a lot after washing my hands and stuff. After brushing my teeth, I went out, unhappy, and put all of the pads in my backpack.

"Awwww…you got it now?" Penelo asked me sympathetically. I sighed and nodded, tying my jacket around my waist. My body plopped onto the bed as I took my glasses off and set them inside my glasses case. I removed my boots and set them near the bed, then closed my eyes to try and sleep. Moments later, I decided I needed to get something to drink before sleeping, so I quietly got up and put my glasses on. I walked outside without my boots and tiptoed downstairs on my socks.

"What are you doing?" I heard from behind me. I let out a gasp and covered my mouth from screaming. My shoulders relaxed and I calmed down when I saw who the person was.

"Hey Larsa." I whispered with a smile.

"I'm sorry. I think I need a drink because I couldn't sleep." Larsa smiled at me.

"Ah ok. You'll need some warm milk then. Follow me." he said as he started to walk. As we walked, I looked at him with curiosity.

I questioned him, "So what are you doing up so late?"

He replied, "I couldn't sleep either." He led me into the kitchen and told me to sit down in one of the stools. I sat down and watched Larsa get some milk from the fridge and two glasses. He poured them in the glasses and warmed them with some Fire. We sat together, drinking the milk quietly. He walked me back to my room.

"Thanks Larsa. Goodnight." I whispered with a smile.

"Goodnight Hikari." Larsa answered with a smile as well. I closed the door and took my glasses and boots off, then went to sleep peacefully after drinking my milk. *Nyan~ That was some good milk~*
