It started out to be a quiet night, until a yell woke everyone up from their slumber. "What the heck was that?!" asked Ryo as he stuck his head out of his room.

"It came from Kento's room!" replied Cye as he and the others ran inside. When they got to his room, they found Kento sitting up, rocking back and forth holding his head and mumbling something.

"Kento, hey Kento what happened?" asked Rowen. Kento stopped rocking and looked up to see he was safe and sound in his room.

"Rowen?" asked Kento quietly.

"Yea Kento it's me, we're all here. What happened to make you yell like that?" asked Rowen curiously.

"I'm not sure, I don't, I don't remember." replied Kento as he looked around at his friends.

"Well I have an idea of how to help him remember, but Kento has to be in total agreement with it." said Kaye as she walked over to his bedside.

"Kaye, you're not going to do what I think that you're suggesting are you?" asked Kento. Kaye looked at him and nodded showing that he was right.

"Are you crazy Kaye, going on a dream walk now?" asked Cye as he looked over to her.

"It's the only way to find out what caused Kento to yell like that. So unless anyone else has any other ideas, then this is how we're going to find out." replied Kaye as she took a chair and set it next to him.

"Kento you're not going to let her do that are ya?" asked Ryo as he looked at them.

"Ryo, I want to know, I want to remember. So yea, Kaye whenever you're ready do your thing." said Kento as he laid back down.

"I'll only do it Kento if you're absolutely sure." said Kaye as she looked at him in concern.

"Do it Kaye, I'm ready." said Kento as he closed his eyes.

"Guys, Mia I'm going to need you to leave the room, but don't go too far, just in case." said Kaye as she got ready to dream walk. They nodded and slowly left the two by themselves so that they could begin.

"Kento, you still have time to reconsider." said Kaye.

"No Kaye, I've made up my mind. We're going to do this so let's get started already, I would like to try and sleep for the rest of the night. What do ya need me to do?" asked Kento while his eyes still closed.

"I just need you to try and focus on your dream, then I'll do the rest. One more thing Kento, remember you have control over what happens in your dreams. So if you think that things are starting to get a little hectic you can always pull out of the dream walk." replied Kaye. Kento gave a slight nod showing that he understood, and began to focus on his dream. Kaye smiled as she brushed his bangs out of his eyes, and then she grabbed his hand and closed her eyes. When Kaye opened her eyes, she found herself inside of Kento's dream.

"Kento show me what made you yell out, please Kento show me what happened." thought Kaye as she looked around the pitch-black surroundings. Small-blur like images began to fly quickly in front of Kaye. It was hard for her to keep up with them, she could barely make them out as they appeared.

"Kento, the images are going too fast. I can't see them clearly, please help me." said Kaye. Little by little, the images began to slow down enough so Kaye could be able to see what was going on. Kaye gave a small smile and began to focus on what was being shown to her.

"Oh God, Kento. I'm so sorry, now I understand. It's time for me to leave your dream. Now sleep Kento, I'll see you in the morning." whispered Kaye as tears began to fall.

"Alright, I've had it. This has gone on far too long." said Ryo as he began to open Kento's door.

"Ryo wait, do ya hear that?" asked Cye in concern.

"Hear what Cye?" asked Sage.

"That, it sounds like someone is crying. Ryo's right we better get in there." replied Cye as he barged into the room. When they entered the room, they found Kento sound asleep and Kaye trying to wipe away her tears.

"Well Kaye, did ya find what made Kento yell out like that or not?" asked Sage.

"It's too dark to see, where is he? Where are they, are they alright? Did he get them too? Why is it so cold, so cold?" said Kaye quietly as she was holding her head in her hands.

"Kaye, what are you talking about?" asked Mia as she slowly approached her.

"Mia stop, don't go any closer." said Rowen as he caught on to what was happening.

"Rowen, what are you talking about?" asked Mia as she looked at him.

"It looks like Kaye found what made Kento yell out, and she's reliving what he was thinking at the time when Maji took his kanji orb." replied Rowen.

"You don't know the half of it." said Kaye quietly as she looked up at them.

"Kaye, are you alright?" asked Sage.

"Yea, I'm just a little drained that's all. Nothing that a night's sleep won't cure." replied Kaye.

"Was Rowen right in what he said about what Kento was thinking when Maji took his orb from him?" asked Ryo. Kaye looked from Ryo, and then to Kento. She gave a nod showing that what he said was right.

"Is Kento going to be alright?" asked Cye in concern.

"Yea Cye, he's going to be just fine. All he needs is some sleep, so why don't the rest of you go back to bed. I'm sure that Kento won't be waking you up for the rest of the night." replied Kaye as she began to usher them out of Kento's room.

"Are you sure Kaye?" asked Ryo.

"Yea, I'll make sure that he won't be having any more nightmares tonight. Now the rest of you go back to bed, and I'll see you in the morning." replied Kaye as she stood in the doorway. The others knew that when she got that look, she made up her mind. So the others went back to bed, Kaye turned around, walked inside and shut the door. She then walked over to the chair that was by Kento's bedside and sat down. Looking him over, she gave a small smile, knowing that he'll be alright, but she knew that she had to be there just in case. So that's where she stayed the whole entire night.

In the nexus, "Hmm very interesting, I should have realized that the girl with the Tiger armor could have such an ability. It shouldn't really matter anyway, now I have to figure out who is going to be my next target. I know that they'll be more careful knowing that I already have Hardrock's kanji orb. Ah, yes why didn't I see this before? It'll work out perfectly, Maji you are definately onto something. I hope that the rest of you will be able to provide me with the same entertainment as your friend. Otherwise it won't be as fun when I take your kanji orbs as well." mused Maji as he gave an evil laugh.

The next morning, "Oh man what a night." said Kento as he began to slowly wake up. He noticed that Kaye was a sleep in the chair that was next to his bed. Kento looked over at her and gave a huge grin.

"Kaye stayed with ya the rest of the night." said Cye as he peaked his head into the room.

"Come on in Cye." replied Kento as he motioned for Cye to come into his room.

"How are ya feeling Kento?" asked Cye as he walked over to them.

"I'm feeling just fine Cye, so Kaye actually stayed with me the rest of the night." replied Kento as he looked at him.

"Yea she did, Kento, Kaye told us what she saw in your dream last night that made you yell out like you did." said Cye as he watched for some kind of reaction.

"Is she ok?" asked Kento in concern as he sat up in bed while making sure that he didn't wake her.

"Kaye seemed fine when she told us to go back to bed, but I think that she isn't telling us everything." replied Cye.

"I see, hey Cye give me a few minutes to get ready and I'll meet ya downstairs." said Kento as he started to slowly get out of bed.

"Alright Kento, I'll see ya in a few minutes then, but hurry up the food is starting to get cold." replied Cye with a smirk as he left Kento to get ready. Kento laughed and then looked down at Kaye.

"I'm sorry that you had to see what happened Kaye when I was in that thing. I hope that you don't have to go through that either." thought Kento as he laid Kaye on his bed and covered her up. Kento gave her a kiss on her forhead, quietly backed away and continued finishing getting ready. Just before Kento left, he looked over at his bed one more time and gave a small smile.

"Sleep well Kaye, you deserve it." thought Kento as he shut the door and went downstairs.

"Hey Kento it's good to see you up and around." said Ryo as Kento joined them at the table.

"Yea thanks Ryo, I feel better thanks to Kaye." replied Kento as he tried to wait patiently for the food.

"Speaking of Kaye, where is she, I thought that she would be down here already?" asked Sage.

"I'm right here." replied Kaye as she walked over to the table.

"Morning Kaye, shouldn't you be sleeping right now?" asked Rowen as he looked at her.

"I'm fine, just a little tired, nothing to worry about. Besides, after a short training session, I'll feel even better." replied Kaye with a small smile as she sat down next to Kento.

"So now what do we do now?" asked Sage.

"What do you mean Sage by what do we do now? We can't do really much of anything until Maji shows up again." replied Ryo.

"Are you suggesting that we just sit around and wait for Maji to make his next move?" asked Sage in annoyance.

"We can't exactly track this guy down now can we?" replied Ryo also in annoyance. Kaye was trying to block out the arguement that was going on between Ryo and Sage by lowering her head, closing her eyes and covering her ears. It didn't seem like it was helping, Kento looked over at her and then looked up.

"Ryo, Sage that's enough! Stop arguing right now!" said Kento angrily as he slammed his hands on the table while glaring at them. Ryo and Sage stopped arguing and everyone except for Kaye, gave Kento a look of total confusion.

"Kento, what in the world..?" asked Ryo confused.

"Yea Kento what's the deal?" asked Sage.

"Man, and you guys call me dense. Look at the two of you, arguing about what to do next. I can't believe that you two are acting like a couple of kids." replied Kento as he started to calm down.

"Here I thought that Cye was the mediator of the group and not Kento, who knew." said Rowen as he realized why Kento was so angry.

"Funny Rowen." replied Cye with a smirk. Kaye realized that the arguing finally stopped and started to pull away from the table.

"Hey Kaye where are you going?" asked Mia as she watched Kaye walk away.

"Sorry Mia, but I just realized that I'm not hungry. I just need some fresh air, I'll see ya later." replied Kaye as she grabbed her jacket and ran outside.

"Smooth guys, real smooth." said Kento as he got up and got his jacket and ran after her.

"What!?" asked Sage and Ryo at the same time.

Outside, "This stupid test of Maji's has barely even started, Sage and Ryo are already arguing with each other. I do see their point though, man when is Maji going to show up again? What are we suppose to do when he does show, I mean none of us could stop him when he took Kento's orb, so then what's stopping him from taking the others?" asked Kaye to herself.

"You want to know what will stop me from taking the orbs from the rest of you young one? Well I'll tell you, nothing can stop me so I would suggest that you hand yours over or else." said Maji as he appeared in front of her.

"Oh man I had to go out on my own. I can't let him get my orb, I just can't." thought Kaye angrily as she got ready to transform into her armor.

"Go on and transform into your armor, then it would be easier for me to take your orb from you." said Maji as he pulled something out from his small bag that he had tied to his belt.

"What is he up to?" thought Kaye as she kept her eyes on him.

"Well are you going to transform or what?" asked Maji.

"Alright you asked for it! Armor of the Tiger come forth!" yelled Kaye as she finally transformed. Not too far away Kento was looking for Kaye, when he sensed something familiar.

"No way, it can't be. he's back, oh man Kaye's alone out here! I have to find her and fast!" thought Kento as he took off running.

"Now that's more like it, how about we make this a little more interesting shall we?" asked Maji as he began to glow red.

"What do you mean by a little more interesting?" asked Kaye as she began to get a little nervous.

"Kaye I'm hurt, did you forget about me already?" asked a voice.

"No, it can't be." said Kaye as she looked into the shadows and saw something coming towards her.

"Oh yea it is, it's me the armor of Hardrock. Now I would suggest that you hand over your orb to Maji or I'll take it from you myself." tauned the armor of Hardrock.

"Kaye where are you? Answer me!" yelled Kento frantically.

"Kento!" yelled Kaye.

"Sorry but I don't think that your boyfriend will be able to save you from me. Iron Rock Crusher!" said the armor of Hardrock as he launched the sure-kill towards her. Just as Kento got there, he saw Kaye get struck down with the sure-kill and then she fell to the ground barely moving.

"No! It can't be happening, hey get away from her!" yelled Kento as he started to run towards Kaye's body.

"Now her kanji orb will be mine!" said Maji as he began to glow red. Maji launched a black engery ball towards Kaye.

"I'm not going to let you get her orb!" yelled Kento as he grabbed for Kaye's arms as he tried to keep her from being pulled inside.

"Foolish little man. Do you honestly think that you alone can save her? I highly doubt it, now watch as I take her orb and add it to my arsonal." said Maji as he sent a wave of electricity through Kento making him fall to the ground unconscious.

"Now that makes two kanji orbs out of the six mine. Soon I'll have them all and nothing will be able to stop me." gloated Maji as Kaye's orb floated into Maji's opened hand. The black energy ball finally faded and Kaye was laying on the ground in her sub-armor. Kento was starting to wake up when he noticed that Maji disappeared.

"Kaye, can you hear me?" asked Kento as he moved over to where Kaye was laying.

"Kento." whispered Kaye as she tried to move.

"Easy there Kaye, the others will be here soon. Just try to save your strength." said Kento.

"It's so dark, I can't see. Why is it so cold, so cold?" asked Kaye in a whisper.

"Come on you guys! What's taking you so long? I'm sure that you felt Maji's power level too, so where the heck are ya?" thought Kento as he held onto Kaye trying to keep her warm. Just then the others finally made it to where Kento was on the ground holding Kaye.

"Kento what happened?" asked Sage as he came closer to them.

"Can't you tell Sage? Maji got Kaye's orb." replied Kento angrily.

"What, but how?" asked Ryo as he looked at Kento for an explanation.

"Armor, armor of, armor of Hardrock." whispered Kaye.

"Kento, what's she talking about?" asked Rowen.

"I couldn't believe it, my armor attacked Kaye with its sure-kill, and then Maji trapped her inside of the same black energy ball that he had me in. Sage, do something!" said Kento in anger.

"Kento, I need for you to move back, otherwise I won't be able to help her." replied Sage as he kneeled down on the other side of Kaye. Kento slowly moved back and let Sage do his thing, Sage quickly went to work. Shortly both Kaye and Sage stopped glowing, and then Sage stood up breathing a little harder than intended.

"Sage are you alright?" asked Cye. Sage nodded showing that he was alright, Kento quickly went to Kaye's side, picked her up from the ground and carried her back to the mansion.
