"Hey you guys, dinner's about ready!" Cye called out from the kitchen.
"Yea! It's about time, I'm starving!" Ryo replied as they ran up to the table and quickly sat down.
"Hey Ryo, those are usually Kento's lines." Sage said with a smirk.
"Watch it, Sage!" Ryo warned.
"Speaking of Kento, where is he? I thought that he would be the first one at the table?" Mia asked as she was helping Cye bring out the food.
"I think that I saw him outside." Rowen replied as he motioned out back.
"I'll get him." Kaye said as she went out to find Kento.
Luckily, Kaye didn't have to go very far. "Kento, hey are ya going to come in? Cye has dinner ready." Kaye asked as she stood next to him.
"Huh, yea, in a minute." Kento replied as he kept his gaze forward.
"Kento, what's wrong?" Kaye asked in concern.
"Nothing." Kento replied flatly.
"Yea right, come on Kento, I know you better than that. Now spill, or I'll have Ryo cook your lunch for the next week. And you know what happened the last time Ryo tried to cook." Kaye warned.
"You wouldn't." Kento said as he was taken back. He remembered the last time that Ryo was in the kitchen. He nearly burned the whole entire meal, which almost put Kento to tears because of the waste of food.
"Try me." Kaye teased.
Then Kento got seriously quiet, "all right, Kaye, I was out here trying to figure out how to explain why I haven't told you about Lieah." Kento started to say.
"Kento..." Kaye replied quietly.
"Let me continue, ok." Kento said quietly.
Kaye nodded and then he continued. "I, I just didn't know how to bring her up. I mean that I thought that she and her brother were gone for good, and we wouldn't have to deal with them ever again. I guess that I..." Kento continued to say, but was cut short when Kaye laid her fingers gently onto his mouth, telling him to not say any more.
"Kento, I understand why you and the others kept this a secret. Heck, I would of too, if I was in the same position. But there's something that you have to understand about me. I don't care about what happened in the past, I only care about the present, and our future together. Nothing else matters, well of course the others, but that goes without saying. The past is the past, there's no point in looking back on something that brings pain. Even though sometimes it's the pain that tells us that in it's own weird way that we're alive. And for that, I'm grateful." Kaye explained, as she looked deep into his eyes.
Kento gently brought her hand down from his mouth, keeping his eyes locked onto hers, and then for the first time, in a very long time, he gave a genuine smile. "So are we going inside? You did say that Cye had dinner ready, right?" Kento said as he started towards the mansion with Kaye in tow.
"Kento!" Kaye replied as they laughed when they were running towards the door.
"That's right, enjoy the time that you have, because soon, the long awaited prophecy will become a reality. We've waited a very long time for this prophecy to come, and soon, very soon it'll be here, and there will be nothing that any of you can do to stop it." a figure that was hiding in the shadows thought as he disappeared with the setting sun.
"Yea! It's about time, I'm starving!" Ryo replied as they ran up to the table and quickly sat down.
