Authors note:

Hello everyone I was going through my reviews when I saw someone say my story was weird and the chapters don't quite make sense.

Well to answer the first question…..how is it weird? Is it a character that you thought did something or said something weird? Is it the whole story? I can't really answer what's weird about it….it's a bit too broad of a question.

As for the second question I don't really know what's going on with the chapters. I send them in order and I make sure it's the right chapter, but for some reason it always comes out wrong. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or not because I'm still new to fanfiction. I apologize for your confusion, and I'll try to fix it asap.

So how's the story right now besides that? I know I've made some mistakes and I'll fix that, but is the storyline good? Anything you anticipate on happening? Something you wish could happen? But I think the most important question I have for you is how will this all play out? Will there be a happy ending like in the typical harvest moon games, or will something unexpected happen?

Akari: I think it'll end all happy! Cause then everyone would know I'm a girl, and KATHY WOULD LEAVE ME ALONE!"*smiles*

Chase: You are so….strange….I think you need to take some medication. Why don't I go get Jin?"

Akari: "CHASE! SIT YOUR BUTT IN THAT SEAT I SWEAR IF YOU GET !"

Luke: "Um…if I were you….I'd sit down."

Chase: "She can't make me do any- oh shoot-AAHHHH!"

Akari: "GET OVER HERE!"

Luke: "I told him so."

Author: "I think she's just a bit stressed with what's going on in the story right now…..maybe I shouldn't put her through so much. Nah, it's fun to torture her:P

Luke: "I hope I become one of the main characters! Could you imagine me with my axe and my flaming bandana? I would look SO AWESOME! Oh and don't forget my muscles!"

Author: "You already are one of the main characters!"

Luke: "I feel more like a secondary character, make me have a bigger role!"

Author: "I'll think about it…"

*Akari returns*

Akari: "Sorry about that, I just had to take care of something."

Author: "Akari, what did you do with Chase?"

Akari: "Oh he'll be fine, don't worry about him."

Luke: "If he was with you, anything could have happened….."

Author: "We need him for the next chapter! Bring him back!"

Akari: "What? He's not even in this one!"

Author: "I still need him, go get him."

Akari: "Fine…."

Author: "Anyway, let's move onto the story:D"

CHAPTER 29:

What is going on?

Luke's POV:

I looked at Akari long and hard. I felt like…I had to say something to her…..so I did

I leaned over and whispered in her ear;

"I…..I'm sorry this ever happened. But I promise from here on out, I will always be here for you."

I slowly got up and stretched my arms

"….Now that I said that I guess I'll go use the bathroom."

That's when I heard footsteps enter the room

"Well, then go use the restroom." Said Will

"Hey! I forgot you came with me!"

"…That was a bit rude."

"S-sorry. I wasn't trying to be rude; I just forget things a lot!" "Hm….hey…."

"Hey what?"

"How come you're so proper? I mean, I know you're a prince and all, but that doesn't mean you have to talk like one!"

"I was raised to speak this way, so it is sort of hard to speak as you consider "normal."

"I see…..Well, can you just try it once?"

"What would you like me to say?"

"Say…idk, nevermind! This is too much thinking for one day…."

"Wow Luke."

"Anyway, I'm going to go to the bathroom real quick. Could you stay with Akari to make sure she's ok?"

"Sure."

Will's POV:

Finally….a moment alone with Akari…

I walked over to Akari's hospital bed and told her

"I know you are awake."

"…"

"You do not need to try to fool me. I read your temperature when Chase and Luke came to talk to you, and your temperature increased dramatically. I could also tell by your body language."

Akari's POV:

SNAP! STUPID BODY HEAT!

I slowly opened my eyes and saw Will, but he looked different…he had…..really weird dark blue eyes?

"I must talk to you privately."

"Um….aren't we alone already?"

"Not here. Please follow me."

Will grabbed my hand and pulled me along with him. I quickly fell to the floor holding my stomach

"Oh my…..I forgot about your stitches….."

He then picked me up "bride style" and took me out of the clinic, went to the dock, and went into his yacht.

He placed me gently on a sofa that was in there, and sat his back against the sofa.

"I have…a question to ask you…."

"Um….go ahead."

"What if…I was in love with you?"

"W-what?" I asked nervously

"What if I was in love with you?"

"Will….you know were related, right?" I asked a bit concerned

"But I….feel like there is something more. Like….we were meant to be together….."

"A-are you ok Will?" I asked now really concerned

"Who do you love? Do you….feel the same way about me?"

"Maybe….you don't know what kind of love you're feeling….like the love you should have for me is a friendly sisterly love. Do you feel like that?"

"I feel like…..you're my everything. I love you with all my heart and I would do anything for you. To me….just being friends is not enough. I want to be something more to you Akari. I do not want you to see me as just your brother."

"W-we should probably go back to the clinic."

"Why?...This is for your own good…"

"W-will? You're really starting to scare me."

Will started approaching me with eyes full of dark blue

"Will? What's….wrong with your eyes?"

He ignored my comment on his eyes, and kept coming closer.

"Will….something's not right. Did something happen to you?"

Will grabbed my hand and looked me in the eyes and said

"Akari….I lo"

Just as he was about to finish his sentence someone came through the door which made Will and I look towards the door.

"L-luke?" I asked

"Akari, so this is where he took you."

"Why can you not just leave us alone?" Will asked harshly

"Come on Akari, we need to leave."

"She is not leaving! Because she is going to be my new bride on sunny island!"

"W-what?" Luke asked thoroughly confused

"She is meant to marry me."

"Who said?"

"I did. A prince always gets to choose whomever they wish to marry. And that person will be Akari."

"Luke….I don't know what's wrong with him." I said

"Don't worry Akari. I'll explain things later."

Will started to fight with Luke, but Luke kept dodging his attacks.

"Why will you not fight me?"

"Because, there's no reason to. I came to get Akari and that's all."

"Akari is not leaving!"

Luke kept dodging Will's attacks, but soon became annoyed because he wouldn't give up, and hit him in the head with one of the pans he found in Will's kitchen.

"Luke! Your gonna give him a concussion!" I shouted

"He'll be ok. I'll call Irene to come take care of him."

So Luke picked up one of the phones in the yacht and dialed the clinic. Irene picked up and said she would be on her way…..again.

"Let's go Akari…Can you walk yet?"

"N-not really."

"Ok then."

Luke picked me up "bride style" and took me to the closest house he knew.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

A guy with beautiful blonde hair opened the door. He had sharp piercing blue eyes, was about Luke's height, and was wearing what seemed as a school uniform. I would say he's a nerd, but the hair and eyes say otherwise. Maybe…..he just likes to dress professionally? Idk, but something about him doesn't say nerdy….oh yeah, and I think he's somewhere around Luke and Chases' age. And for personality? He seems like a quiet, hardworking, surprisingly fashionable, sort of strong, and amazingly smart….like straight A's type of guy.

"Luke? What are you doing here?" the guy asked

"Hey Gil! How's it goin'?"

"Um…..things were great until you came…"

Wow…..guess he's the rude and cold hearted type too…similar to someone else I know….

"W-well anyway, can we come in?"

"Why?"

"Do you NOT see the girl in my arms?"

"Why is she in a clinic robe?"

"Can we explain once we get INSIDE the house?"

"Whatever." What was it? Gil I think said as he opened the door

Luke proceeded inside and placed me on the sofa. He sat alongside me, and Gil sat in a huge chair that was only big enough for one person.

"So, what happened?"

"Well…before I start, I need a favor."

"What?"

"I need to borrow some old clothes you don't wear anymore for Akari. I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to wear…..that." Luke said as he pointed to my outfit

"Very well."

"Wait, are you ok with that Akari?" asked Luke

Luke is so conciderate! Although it's a bit strange to wear boys clothes (even though I'm used to them now…) of someone I've never met before, the fact that he asked for spare clothes for me shows that even though he's somewhat dumb, he can still be a gentleman!

"Akari?" Luke asked again

"W-what? Oh, yeah it's fine!"

"Ok then." Gil said as he went to get some clothes

After Gil went upstairs to get the clothes the room fell silent, and it became….and awkward silent.

I looked over at Luke and he was twit tiling his thumbs and staring at his hands. He had a nervous expression on….and he was actually being quiet. Out of all the times I've seen Luke, he's NEVER been quiet at all. But right now? It's so quiet, that if a pin dropped we'd both hear it. It's so unlike Luke to just sit there, and be quiet…maybe, there's something wrong?

"Luke?...Are you ok?"

"W-what? S-sure! W-why w-wouldn't I be?" he was now looking at me

"Why are you stuttering?"

"N-no reason!" he looked back down and began to twit tiling his thumbs again

"Luke, I can tell when something's bothering you. What is it?"

"I told you! Everything is fine!"

"I think your"

"I'm back with the clothes." Gil interrupted as he came down the stairs

Gil handed them to me and said

"This was the smallest size I had. It's a plain white t-shirt and some sweats that I never wore."

"Haha I can see why! That would not look good on you!"

"Shut up…" Gil mumbled embarrassedly "….So what happened to Akari?" asked Gil

"It's sort of a long story, but to put it shortly…Akari got hurt in a fight between me and someone."

"Who?"

"Like I said to put it SHORTLY." Luke said emphasizing shortly

"Whatever. Where did she get hurt?"

"On her stomach."

"What did they do to treat it?"

"They gave her stitches."

"Ouch. I guess it was a pretty bad fight then….."

"B-but it's over now, so no worries…." I said

"So why did you come to my house again?"

"We were trying to get away from…."

Before Luke could finish his sentence I covered his mouth with my hand and said

"We were trying to get away from this guy that's related to me…he's my…um…uncle! Yeah, he's definitely my uncle!"

"Uhh…I know Will is back on the island."

"H-how did you know?" I asked nervous

"I didn't. Not until you just told me."

"W-what?"

"Akari! How could you give it away!"

"Luke be quiet! If I hadn't covered YOUR MOUTH, the ENTIRE ISLAND would have known! At least I can keep a secret!"

"Just because I make mistakes doesn't mean I can't keep secrets!"

"Be quiet please!" Gil shouted in a strong firm voice

"…." Luke and I fell silent

"Thank you. I know why you're trying to keep him a secret, and I admire you for trying to protect him. Therefore…..I won't tell Hamilton."

"Really?" I asked

"Sure. I really don't have a reason to tell the old hag anyway…"

"Wait a second…..didn't you used to know Will? He became sort of like, your adopted brother right?"

"Yeah…..and for a while I was jealous of him. He had everything that I would have ever wanted right at his fingertips…he got everything….while I got neglected."

"…..I'm sorry Gil."

"….There's no need. The past is the past, we can't change it now. How do you know each other?"

"Were related."

"Really? You both don't look similar in the slightest!"

"I know, tell me about it." Luke said

"Yeah, but my parents have very different appearances. I took my mother's looks only, and he took our father's looks only."

"So you look exactly like your mom, and he looks exactly like your dad?"

"Pretty much…."

"So…..why were you trying to get away from him?"

"There's…something not right about him."

"How?"

"He…..asked me to marry him."

"What? He does know you both are related doesn't he?"

"Yeah. That's why I said there's something wrong with him."

"Oh yeah, I need to tell you something Akari." Said Luke

"Sure." I said

"When I went out to collect wood, I saw Will over in the district and he went on a weird grayish blue bridge. Curious, I followed him, and he eventually stopped at this beautiful little pond. There was a huge stump there, but no tree so I guess they cut it down. Anyway, Will went to go examine the stump and then a weird gnome like thing came out of nowhere and offered him a necklace. I think that necklace is what's causing him to act strange. Because the gnome said to Will "If you wear this, all of your dreams will come true." And he said "If there's anything you ever wanted to do, but didn't have the guts to do it, then the necklace would help you."

"So….Will's dream is to marry his own sister?"

"No….I think his dream is just to marry someone and become king. I think that necklace is corrupting his mind, and I'm not sure if he remembers you're his sister right now."

"But I didn't see a necklace around his neck….."

"Maybe it was in his pocket? Idk, but after he got that necklace, he hasn't been the same…..and his eyes turned a freaky dark blue color.

"Wait a second…Chase had the same eyes when he was trying to hurt you!"

"Really? But if that's true…..then how come it didn't really affect him until you fought each other?"

"Well firstly we don't really know how long he's had it…but maybe something was preventing him from….changing I guess we'll call it? Anyway….where can I change?" I asked

"The bathroom is upstairs to the right."

"Thanks." I said as I took the clothes and struggled to get up

"Um…are you going to be ok…um..Akari?"

"Huh….oww…..um I might need some help."

"Let me help you." Luke said

But since Gil was closer to me than Luke was, he said he would help me. Luke kept insisting he'd do it, but Gil kept saying no and that he's got it. Why Gil didn't just back down and let him? I have no idea…..I mean, if you think about it there's only two options. One, he wanted to be nice and lend me a hand. Or two, he became possessed by aliens that wanted to make Luke jealous! YES! Another score for…..AKARI! I mean wouldn't you agree that he's part alien? Being related to HAMILTON and all…..

Anyway Gil let me lean on his shoulder and I was ok….for like 5 seconds. After that I was in pain again. Gil was a bit startled that I was hurt, but stopped and carried me bride style. I looked back to see Luke as we were heading up the stairs, and now….he seemed madder than ever.

I hope he's not mad at me….or Gil. Gil's just helping me up the stairs. What is there to be mad about?

After Gil took me up the stairs, he opened the door to the bathroom and set me on the toilet. (The lid was closed.)

I looked at Gil with a curious look because when I went to look at him, he blushed like madly as he gave me the clothes and replied a quick "Here."

"Um, thanks." I said happily taking the clothes

"….Are you going to be ok now?"

"Huh? S-sure don't worry about me!"

"But….I hurt you when I was helping you up the stairs…"

"O-oh! Haha don't worry about it! Like you said, what's in the past is in the past, right? It was an accident; I know you wouldn't do that to me!"

Gil gave me a sweet warm smile and said

"If there's anything else you need, just let me know."

"No problem." I said as I returned the smile

I'm actually…..curious to learn about Gil. I feel as if…..there's more than meets the eye with him….like there's another side of him that probably no one knows. That he keeps hidden….because he…..might be embarrassed about it, or maybe he doesn't like that side of him….

As I kept looking at him his face was starting to turn a light shade of red…..but he kept staring, not looking away for even one second.

Our eyes were locked with each other and I could see just how beautiful his eyes were. They were…..so calm and relaxing…..they sort of reminded me of an ocean. They're so….beautiful…

We kept staring at each other for what seemed like eternity until Gil finally broke the silence and said

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I was staring wasn't I?"

"Haha it's ok! I don't really mind!"

"It's just…."

"?"

"You're such a nice person and you're so…..beautiful….I've never met someone like you before. And…you're the only girl that's ever made me have….this strange feeling."

At this I didn't know what to say. What is he trying to say? What strange feeling is he talking about? Idk what's wrong with him, but I need to get changed! I need to end this conversation somehow!

"R-really? What kind of feeling do you mean?"

"I don't…"

"Is it your stomach? Your head? Your"

"I feel it right here." He said as he pointed to his stomach

"Oh…..well what do you feel in there?"

"Lightness? No….jitteriness? Um…how do you explain it?"

"Hm….so it's something that feels like it's moving?"

"Yeah…..fast. It sort of feels like….butterflies? If that even makes sense….."

"Butterflies in your stomach?"

"Uhh….I don't feel so good anymore." Gil said as his face went from red to green

"Woah, um how about you use the bathroom first?" I said as I signaled him to pick me up

He carried me out of the bathroom over to his bed and told me that he'd be right back. When he went inside the bathroom and closed the door, all I heard was, vomiting.

Ewwww déjà vu all over again.

I quickly tried to get that picture out of my mind as I looked around Gil's room. It was….very…boring. All he had in his room was a bookshelf, a desk with a computer, a closet, a piano, and his bed that I was on. Including a carpet and everything…and his room was…..nice. First off, the bed was a temperpedic bed, so you know he's making money:D The laptop was a mac air, and his entire bedroom theme was red. But….it looked really nice. I wish my room looked this nice! Axel better start making more money, cause I so want a room like this! Even I would want to live in here and it's a guys room!

I saw the piano and I was instantly in love, because I love instruments. The piano, guitar, violin, flute, I loved them all and I just had to play it.

So I painfully reached the edge of the bed and rolled onto the floor. I stayed there for a few seconds (because that really hurt….) and started crawling toward the piano chair. I got into the chair but rested there for about three minutes. (Again pain.) After I was ok again I thought of songs that my grandmother and I used to play.

I remember she taught me this one song….now if I can just find the starting note….

Then, my pointer finger on my right hand was on autopilot or something and touched the key I was looking for, and immediately my left hand joined in.

It's like….they have a mind of their own. It's sort of like when you're trying to remember a song, and then when you remember how the beginning goes, everything else comes naturally. You didn't think you'd remember the whole song, just the beginning….but once you start….it's like you suddenly remember and you have to sing the rest of it.

The song I played was zora's domain that was taught to me by my grandmother. As my fingers played…..I couldn't help but sing the song that my grandmother made for me to go with the piano

Me:

I am happy because

You are here by my side

You and I will be together

Forever

Even when I am alone, I'll be ok because I

Know that you are with me no matter where I am

You'll be with me

Because our hearts are connected

So we will forever remain,

Together forever you know that it is true

Grandmother:

Because I know I'd be nothing without you

So don't be scared I'm right here for you when you need me

I will always be there

Through the long days

And cold winter nights

When I won't be there to tuck you at night

It's gonna be ok

You will see

Because your heart's connected with me

And even though I may be far

Don't you be concerned at all

You know that we have a little secret,

Together:

接続の心は、いつもの鍵です( hearts connected is always key)

Grandmother:

Even though there are things you don't quite understand yet,

Just know this simple word 愛してru,(I love you.) ((p.s. sorry it wouldn't write the character ru.))

So that when I die

Just say that word to me

And I will forever rest peacefully

愛してru (I love you) Akari

I stopped and stared long and hard at the piano. Remembering all the memories I've had with my grandmother in learning this song…..and how much it meant to the both of us.

"….Hearts connected is always key? And aishiteru? I feel like….there's something significant about those two sentences…but what?"

As I was thinking this, Gil emerged from the bathroom and came over to the piano.

"Your…amazing." He said as he stood there in awe

"Um….thanks." I said with a smile

"How many years have you been playing?"

"A-actually…..I learned this from my grandmother."

"Was she a pianist?"

"I'm not sure. She never really said if she was or not. But I know she had a strong love for the piano, and she would practice every day on it."

"Your grandmother must be an extraordinary woman. When do you think I could meet her?"

"…She's…dead." I said as my eyes started to tear up

Gil looked at me with sorrowful eyes and said

"My….mother died. It was…..very painful…..I cried for years."

"W-when did…she die?"

"When I was seven. It's a day I will never forget."

"My grandmother died of a disease…"

"My mother died because of…."

"I-I't's ok. You don't have to tell me." Even though I really want to know

"No, it's ok…I actually need to get this off my chest. I've kept this secret for many years….I've never told anyone this."

"?"

"The person who killed my mother was…Hamilton."
