Rowen ran from Kento's room and to the banister, "hey everybody Kento's awake!" yelled Rowen and then heading back into the room.
"Kento how are ya feeling?" asked Kaye in concern.
"To be honest Kaye, I've felt better." replied Kento as he tried to sit up.
"Oh no you don't Kento of Hardrock, you are going to lay down and rest. Don't even think about trying to get out of bed." said Kaye sternly as she pushed him down.
"Aw come on Kaye, I feel fine, see." said Kento as he tried to get up again. This time when he was getting up, Kento grabbed for his sides and winced.
"You better listen to the lady Kento." replied Rowen with a smirk.
"I'm guessing that this is payback for when I carried you upstairs yesterday." said Kento with a smirk as he laid back down.
"Yep you're right, and here's your prize." replied Kaye as she went down and kissed him.
"Well it looks like you two don't waste any time now do ya." said Sage as he and the others were now standing in the room watching them. Kaye quickly pulled away from the kiss, and both of them were blushing in a major way.
"Come on you two, get over it already. We all know that you two are going out." said Ryo with a teasing grin.
"Hey Cye." said Kento.
"Yea." replied Cye.
"Is there any food ready, I'm starving?" asked Kento with a mischievous grin.
"Yea Kento is definately back to normal. Sure thing Kento I'll go down and get ya some. I'll be right back." replied Cye as he left for the kitchen.
"Well Kento, now that we know you're ok, we're going to let you rest up, and then when you're up to it we'll try and figure out how to get your orb back." said Ryo as he and the others left leaving only Kaye and Kento in the room.
"I wonder if Kento still wants to talk to me about something before Maji attacked?" thought Kaye as she was looking off into nowhere.
"Kaye, hey Kaye are ya in there?" asked Kento.
"Huh, oh sorry Kento did ya say something?" asked Kaye as she blushed.
"I asked ya what were you thinking about." replied Kento as he began to sit back up again.
"It's nothing, Kento I thought that I told you to lay down?" asked Kaye as she tried to make him lay back down.
"You did, but there's something that I need ya to help me with." replied Kento.
"Oh yea, and what's that?" asked Kaye in curiosity.
"They wrapped the bandages too tight, I was wondering if ya would help me loosen them up a little." replied Kento with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"Alright, let me see. Where Kento, the bandages seem fine to me. Kento!" said Kaye as he quickly pulled Kaye into bed right next to him.
"Now that's more like it, I feel better already." said Kento with a grin.
"Kento Rei Faun, you little sneak. What about your injuries?" asked Kaye in concern.
"My injuries are just fine, thanks to Sage and my sub-armor. But you could do me this one favor to make me feel even better." replied Kento with another grin.
"Oh really, and what per chance would that be?" asked Kaye with a small smile.
"I was hoping that you would do this in return." said Kento as he gave her a deep, warm kiss. Kaye slowly pulled back and gave him a mischievous smile.
"Well I don't know if I can top that, but I'll see what I can do." replied Kaye as she returned the favor.
"I hope that I'm not intruding." said Cye with a mischievous grin as he stood there in the doorway watching them while he was holding a tray full of food. Kaye and Kento were both startled by Cye's presence that while trying to get up, Kaye hit her head on a shelf that was hanging above Kento's bed.
Kento was trying not to laugh while Kaye was rubbing her head. "Kaye are you alright?" asked Cye as he put the tray down on the dresser.
"Yea Cye I'm fine, no thanks to mr. sensitive here." replied Kaye as she got out of Kento's bed and sat down on the chair holding her head.
"Hey I'm the one that has the injured ribs here." said Kento as he gave his famous puppy-dog look.
"It didn't look like you were too injured to me from where I was standing." replied Cye with a smirk.
"Remind me to have a talk with the others about their timing ok." said Kento with a grin.
"Yea no kidding, ow." replied Kaye with a small smile as she rubbed her head.
"Are you sure that you're ok? Maybe you should be the one laying down. What do you think Cye?" asked Kento now in concern.
"Yea I'm fine, just a small bump, and what's with the concern about me laying down? This from the man that has injured ribs." replied Kaye with a smirk.
"Well whose going to look after me if you're injured?" asked Kento with a smirk.
"I guess Cye or the others would." replied Kaye with a smile.
"True, but I can't kiss them like I do to you now can I?" asked Kento with a grin.
"No I suppose not, but tell me this Kento, what am I going to do with you?" asked Kaye with a grin as well.
"Ok you two, that's enough. This is getting too sweet, even for me, I think that I might be getting sick." teased Cye.
"Sorry Cye." said Kaye with a smile.
"Yea man sorry about that, now how about that food!" replied Kento with a grin.
"It's official, Kento is definately back to normal. Ok I'm going to let you eat and then you better get some sleep." said Cye as he gave Kento the tray.
"Thanks Cye, man am I hungry!" said Kento as he began to eat. Cye gently grabbed Kaye's arm and pulled her out into the hallway.
"Cye, what's wrong?" asked Kaye in concern.
"That is what I should be asking you." replied Cye.
"What do you mean by asking me?" asked Kaye now confused.
"Come on Kaye, you can stop acting like everything is ok and tell me what's on your mind." replied Cye sternly.
"You can guess what's on my mind Cye, you don't need me to tell you." replied Kaye quietly.
"It's Kento, am I right?" asked Cye.
"Yea you're right, Cye I was so scared in losing him. He's my strenght, I'm not as strong as he thinks I am." replied Kaye as tears began to form.
"Kaye you're wrong, you're a lot stronger than you give yourself credit for. So don't ever doubt yourself on that, trust me there's more than one way to be strong." said Cye as he laid his hands on her shoulders.
"I was told a long time ago, that a very dangerous warrior doesn't attack the body or the mind, but they attack the most vulnerable target possible." said Kaye.
"Did this person tell you what the most vulnerable target was Kaye?" asked Cye.
"Yea he did, he said that the most vulnerable target possible is..." said Kaye as she began to keep herself from crying.
"Is what Kaye?" asked Cye.
"The most vulnerable target possible is the heart. Hurt the ones that they cares for, that is the most vulnerable target Cye." replied Kaye quietly as she lowered her head.
"Kaye, trust me we will get Kento's kanji orb back, and we'll make sure to be extra careful so Maji doesn't get the rest of ours as well. But if he does Kaye, know that we will pass these tests and kick his sorry ass all the way back to the nexus." replied Cye with a fire in his eyes.
"He's right you know." said Kento as he stood in the doorway. Kaye quickly turned around and faced him.
"What are you doing up Kento, you should be in bed resting, hey wait a minute how long were you standing there?" asked Kaye.
"Long enough." replied Kento as he looked at her.
"Since you're up Kento, do ya feel like going downstairs and joining the rest of us?" asked Cye.
"Sounds good to me, wait here I just have to throw a shirt on and I'll come downstairs with ya." replied Kento as he ran in and quickly came out with a clean shirt.
"Well look who's up and around, shouldn't you be in bed resting Kento?" asked Mia as she and the others saw him, Kaye and Cye coming downstairs.
"I'm fine Mia, I'm just a little sore from the fight that's all." replied Kento as he sat down on the couch.
"If those two are having a hard time keeping you in bed, then I guess that we better not even try." said Ryo with a smirk, as he motioned over towards Cye and Kaye.
"Hey!" said Cye and Kaye at the same time.
"That reminds me, you guys have to work on your timing. Otherwise Kaye and I won't have any privacy." said Kento with a grin, as he looked over to her.
"Kento." replied Kaye as she blushed.
"I hate to break up the fun here, but unless we figure out what to do next, we're all in major trouble." said Sage as he brought a serious mood into the room.
"Yea you're right Sage, but what are we suppose to do about Maji? If what he says is true, then he will possess all of our orbs as well. It'll be just a matter of time before he strikes again, I'm just not sure if we're going to be ready for when he does." replied Rowen.
"What do you suggest that we do Rowen? Just sit around and wait?" asked Kento as he tried to stand up.
"Kento sit down or you'll hurt yourself even more!" said Kaye as she gave him a stern look.
"Fine, but I for one don't intend to just to stay here, sit on my hands and do nothing." replied Kento as he sat back down.
"We know Kento, if what Lightning says is true about Maji, then we need to start coming up with some ideas." said Sage as he looked at him.
"Well, does anyone have any suggestions?" asked Mia.
"I think that none of us should go anywhere alone, that way someone will have some backup if Maji decides to attack again." suggested Cye.
"Funny, that's the same thing that I told Kento." said Kaye as she crossed her arms.
"Hey, I was just trying to protect you from that jerk." replied Kento as he began to get a little angry.
"Yea I know that, but look where it got ya." said Kaye as glared at him.
"That's enough, we don't need to be at each others throats. I'm sure that Maji would love it to see you fighting each other." replied Mia as she looked at Kaye and Kento sternly.
"You're right Mia, sorry Kaye." said Kento as he gave her a small smile.
"Yea, I'm sorry too Kento you didn't deserve that. Do you forgive me?" asked Kaye as she looked into his eyes. Before Kaye knew what was going on, she found herself in the midst of Kento kissing her, he then slowly drew back and gave her a huge grin.
"I guess that's a yes." said Kaye as she blushed from Kento's kiss.
"Ok now the two of you have made up, mind if we get back to figuring out some kind of plan here?" asked Sage in a mock annoyance. They looked at each other and then at Sage, giving him a nod to show that they were ready to continue. After a few hours of trying to come up with some kind of a plan, everyone decided it was finally time to retire for the night.
"Kento how are ya feeling?" asked Kaye in concern.
"To be honest Kaye, I've felt better." replied Kento as he tried to sit up.
"Oh no you don't Kento of Hardrock, you are going to lay down and rest. Don't even think about trying to get out of bed." said Kaye sternly as she pushed him down.
