His eyes searched for a looming shadow, but he didn't find one. He slowly walked down the stairs and out a grand blue door.
The dim lights of the garden could barely illuminate his shadow, and for that he was very grateful.
He approached a large poplar tree and spoke softly as he said, "I'm here." A scepter appeared from behind the tree and turned pink at the sight of him.
The scepter flew back behind the tree and a smooth, melodious feminine voice said softly, "Are the traps set?"
He chuckled and said, "You can trust me; they're all ready to go." "Good," the voice said softly.
He kept his voice in the same level and asked hopefully, "How long will you stay this time?" Slowly, the figure behind the tree looked out.
Her dark plum eyes looked at him with confusion. As her raven locks fell out of their place she smiled.
He walked up to her and tucked a piece of hair behind her ears. She whispered softly, "As long as they need me my friend, as long as they need me."
He walked away from her, worried and scared that she would leave him again.
There was a special bond between them; a bond that he wished would never be broken.
Well, at least for now, he must live with his mask. Maybe in the end…
A/N: So did you guys get who the guy is? If you didn't you'll be seeing more of him later on so you should be able to piece things together

Kari woke up in the morning as she heard the birds chirping away outside her window. She really loved this palace. It was so beautiful.
She stretched her arms and yawned. She said out loud to the empty room, "Day one of operation break up begins!"
She cheerfully skipped to the bathroom picking up the dress that she had put out the night before.
On the other side of the bathroom was a door, and Kari failed to notice it. This would be a vital mistake that she would realize too soon.
^_^ *~* ^_^ *~* ^_^
Takeru woke up and sat on his bed Indian style.
He didn't receive much sleep the night before and when he looked down at his shoes he saw grass sticking out of it. It was strange because his shoes were clean when he went to sleep. Not really bothering with the idea, he got up off the bed and took off his shirt. He started stretching and then he practiced his sword fighting for a little bit. Afterwards, he decided to take a bath and picked up his towel off the wardrobe.
He picked up some clothes and opened the door to what he presumed to be his bathroom. He walked in and turned the shower on. Surprisingly, the place seemed wet. "I don't remember taking a bath last night. Strange, I feel like this place is haunted," he muttered to himself quietly. He didn't notice the extra door either.
A/N: I know I know, 'go away Spectraangel, you're interrupting the story!' Not gonna happen. I just have a lil' note. I was originally having Davis next to Kari but I feared the wrath of the Takari fans so yeah, TK's here! Hehe… you guys were itching to have him walk in on her didn't you? C'mon admit it… you did… ack, this is rated G for one thing, but the next part maybe could be counted as PG-13… so caution
TK stepped out of the shower twenty minutes later. He rubbed his head with his towel and he had simple black slacks on. He then noticed the extra door. Confusion struck him, as he didn't remember which door he came in. He took his chance and walked to the one on his left.

He walked into the room to find Kari sitting in front of a mirror combing her hair.
She had her eyes closed and didn't know that someone else was in the room with her. He watched her and she combed her long brown hair and he wished that his heart would stop thumping or atleast she would stop brushing her hair. His voice croaked out some unintelligible words and then Kari looked up.
The first image that she saw was of TK, standing there, without a shirt and his towel draped on his neck, and with his cerulean eyes staring softly at her. He spoke again, this time by clearing his throat, and saying, "Um, Kari, what are you doing in my room?" Kari got up and turned around. 'Bad idea Hikari,' she scolded herself as she blushed. TK looked even cuter on his own, and Kari controlled herself. She replied shortly, "Not really, this is my room." He said, "then-", and turned around, and smacked himself by running into the bathroom door. How could he have forgotten that he closed it?!
Kari giggled and then walked up to TK. He stood there, frustrated and rubbing his head. She touched his forehead where the little bump was supposedly forming and taunted quietly, "Did ickle Takeru get a boo-boo?" TK was about to remark when the door opened.
The person standing at the door gaped and his eyes slowly turned from the size of bugs to slits through which he gave his most menacing glare.

Davis was furious. Here was his fiancée, about 2 cm (more like a foot) from his archrival, and not to mention that TE or whomever he was, HAD NO SHIRT ON!!!!
Kari's hand went down and it gripped to TK's arm like a vice. The two started at Davis awaiting some corrigible words to come out of his mouth. Davis cleared his throat after a minute, and tried extremely hard to keep himself calm. He said sternly, "Celene asked for me to tell you two that breakfast will start in a few minutes." They nodded dumbly and Davis left the doorway with a rage.

And also, if anyone wants to suggest anything… go right ahead! I LOVE constructive criticism… not really… I'd probably hunt the person down with a sickle, but it depends on my mood.
The next chapter is also called matchmaker because… well, you'll know soon enough. It's going to be the chapter where the story turns… after all, breakfast is a very crazy time. ^_^
