Zaskaea: Oh, yes thank you for not overloading by reviewing all the chapters, it's alright! xD
ArcticLeaf: Why thank you, I'm glad to have caught you for it then! I have another Nabari one too if you were interested, but if you've already looked at it excuse my self advertisement! xD

"Is everything alright, Miharu-kun?" Sora peeked past the smaller brunet's door. A part of him was worried that maybe somehow this was his fault. In a way, he didn't want to be frowned upon…
"Oh," the shorter snapped the phone shut. After a few minutes of arranging something with the writer, he had wound up staring at the blank screen, thinking. Why was he so sure that Sora was the missing person? Why couldn't he just remember? "Everything's fine. Don't worry."
"…If you're sure. You grandmother should be back soon with your medicine…" he looked a bit relieved, and was calming down. "Do you need anything…?"
"You're aware still that you're at my house, right?" the little devil teased lightly.
"I-I was just offering!" The dark haired looked down, embarrassed with himself.
"I'm only teasing." Miharu said innocently. "Sora-san, would you like to come with Yukimi and myself tomorrow? Do you have classes?"
"No, not tomorrow I don't… I think Tsukasa might not like the idea, but I wouldn't mind." The blue eyed teen smiled happily. "Are you sure Yukimi-san wouldn't mind?"
"I just got off of the phone with him; he thinks it's a good idea." Miharu nodded. "Come on, it's getting late, maybe we should be getting ready for bed."
"Um… yeah, okay. I'll use the bathroom for that." The dark haired moved after behind handed a long shirt and came out wearing the substitute pajama shirt and his slacks. Miharu wondered why the older was so private, but it's not like he could expect him to just be so open with a practical stranger.

Both of them seemed to be having trouble sleeping; but they were back to back so the other never really noticed. Sora was drifting between being awake and asleep, zoning in and out, always finding himself startled awake but never being able to recollect the dream that woke him in the first place. Miharu felt like he was asleep at times, but he found himself glancing up at the ceiling and realizing he was never asleep at all. Then there was the slim bundle of fur that was curled up between the two on the pillow, purring happily in his new spot to sleep in.
Neither were sure when they actually fell into their dreamless sleeps, or if they had even fallen asleep at all. Still, they're bodies were rested enough to start shuffling and moving come morning when Miharu got a text saying Yukimi would be arriving soon.
"So, what are we going to do?" Sora asked, coming into the bedroom after changing. "I mean, well, where are we going?"
"I know this might be a bit uncomfortable, but we actually are going to meet a friend over at the museum. Her name is Hana, she's working with some kids from the other schools in a digging thing…" he knew his sentence wasn't all that intelligent, but what were you supposed to say first thing in the morning? "She's really nice though…"
Miharu was just hoping that Thobari didn't find out the extra party was going to be there and decide to show up. If his teacher caught wind that both Yukimi and Miharu were not only watching Sora, but also Hana's reaction to him, well, he'd just pounce at the chance to pop up.
"… It sounds interesting." The older teen nodded. "Is Yoite coming with us?"
"No, he might run off. He'll be fine here." The green-eyed brunet leaned over and pet the small cat. "Hopefully he won't cause too much trouble."
Miharu grabbed his pack with his own camera and a few water bottles for the two teens before rushing down to the okonomiyaki shop. "I'll be back later grandma, I have to go to work."
"Oh-! Miharu-kun, stay safe!" she called after the boys as they hurried out to meet the small car waiting outside.
"…Hello again, Yukimi-san." Sora smiled lightly, nervous having not really met the man previously. He was good to his brother; well except for the misunderstanding over his death or something, but he didn't spend time near the blond man himself.
"Hey kid. Alright, we're on a schedule, especially if you want food. Let's go already."

AN: Here is an update!
"A good, clean intermediate chapter here, progressing nicely with the story, but still giving readers a chance to breathe before another emotional ride begins. It essentially gives off the same feeling of pleasant yet anxious butterflies you get going up the rise of a roller coaster, just waiting...waiting... waiting for the rush of the fall, loving and dreading it all at the same time^^" –Vicacia18
So, anyway, hold in there guys, I'm in the middle of moving and will be losing internet… Please review?
