Mikagami's POV

I stopped walking. I just couldn't continue.

Raiha. That's who she called for. Raiha. Her so-called Prince. Raiha. Not Mikagami. Not Mi-chan. Does she love him that much? To the extent, the first she calls for is no other,  no other than him?

Am I just another team member? Just another friend? Am I no more, and would I  have the chance to be more?

I was the first who leapt to fight Onnazuki when she passed out, and I broke free of my chains to rescue her from him too. Was it wrong then, to save her, to fight for her? Is it wrong to love her? Or does Raiha love her more than I?

So many questions. Yet, all have no answers. I continue my walk, pacing towards the figures I see in the distance. The Hokage had finished their job and it was time to get out of here. Thoughts run wild and free as I head towards the most significant figure of the lot. Raiha.

They say to love is to let go. I hope it's not true. But, do I have much of a choice? Fuuko… Fuuko wishes for her prince. I'm a friend, a person in the same team as her. No more than that.

Not now, anyway.

He laid her gently in Raiha's arms. There was reluctance in his gesture but Raiha did not notice.

The latter's eyes flashed angrily as he took in her state.

"The guy?" He asked coldly.

"Dead." An answer which would match the temperature of the North Pole was returned.

"I… Can I heal her now?" Yanagi cut in. She was unharmed, and untouched. Thanks to Rekka, of course.

"Let's get out of here first."

The Hokage ran out of the ruined underground building towards a small cavern at the side of the forest, once again victorious

But what a bitter victory.

Where was she? She knew, she knew it was her dream world again. But it was so vague… Only once before she entered it and now she was in it again. The last she entered it was when… when…  when Onnazuki knocked her out. She remembered, she fell into someone's arms and found herself in this dimension.

But it was so empty. It was beautiful, a calm, peaceful and happy place, but seemingly empty. Something, something significant was missing. Something very significant…

Oh, she was so tired, physically and emotionally.

Once or twice, she found the strength to open her eyes, was it Mikagami? Was she in his arms? Eyes, eyes full of concern. Eyes that provided warmth and peace, like it had before. No, it wasn't Mikagami. Raiha. It must be. It was. Now Raiha's eyes and his eyes only shone down on her, so vaguely. It must be her Prince then. Was it slight disappointment she felt?

All of a sudden, her dream world was engulfed in a brilliant white light. She could feel herself lifted slowly out of the dimension. It was Yanagi, healing her injuries. Fuuko regained consciousness slowly and painfully.

But her emotional scars were not healed yet.

"Fuuko? Are you alright?" She looked up into Raiha's eyes- concerned, caring, worried, just like before.

She smiled weakly. "Hai."

"That's good." Raiha smiled. "Yanagi's resting now. We're in a cavern in the forest. We'll leave in the morning when you feel better."

"Ok…"

"FuUkO!!!!!! Oh My DaRLinG! You'RE aWaKE!!! How I worried about you!!! Do you miss me???"

Fuuko pointedly ignored the struggling Domon as he wrestled in vain to run over to her, but fortunately, was stopped by a fierce Koganei, both apparently equally relieved that she had woken.

"Raiha? I… I wanna go out for a walk. You know, to relax my muscles." She forced herself up. Raiha made to accompany her, but she shook her head firmly.

"FUUKO!!! TAKE CARE!! DO YOU NEED ME TO COME WITH YOU???!! I'LL TAKE CARE OF Y--!" (Domon was finally knocked out by the now exhausted Koganei.)

"I'll be fine. Really." She walked out, but not before whispering softly, "Thank you Raiha…"

The soft night breeze played with her fringe and she had a longing to rush into her savior's arms. Memories of the day were swept into her mind.

His hands, his heavy body, still all over her! Was he gone yet? Yes, Yes he was! But… But why did she still feel his presence? She let out an involuntary gasp of fear, and once again she was tempted to rush back to Raiha, to be safe, to feel protected. No! No, she could not. Kirisawa Fuuko is strong, she's not a weak bimbo. She was independent, she could take care of herself.

Her body trembled, she hugged the jacket closer to her.

Jacket? She did not recall wearing one that day. Was it Raiha's? No, he never wears one. Domon? This jacket was way too small for that big oaf. Unless… Mikagami? But, she hadn't seen him the whole day. At least, not after her fight. No, it couldn't be his either.

Oh what does it matter? Her head spinned slightly, and she clutched her head gently. Balancing herself, she continued her walk slowly by the lake, shining brilliantly with the moonlight.

A dark figure suddenly loomed in the water's reflection.

"Fuuko." She whipped around in surprise.
