Enjoy!

Four days passed, leaving Kyoya only one more day to prepare for his battle. Madoka didn't have much to do, well, besides making sure Kyoya did work himself to death. The Leone blader insisted on training all day everyday with little to no breaks. In fact if Madoka hadn't insisted he take a break, he probably just trained until he pleased. That didn't stop Madoka from finding the boy passed out in a deep slumber in the training room late at night. Then she would proceed to try to get him back to the room. If she was lucky one of the nicer Dark Nebula members would help her, but she always declined Reiji. The boy creeped her out.

Unfortunately tonight was one of those nights. Madoka found the sleeping boy leaning against her as she struggled to support him. "Here let me help." A familiar males voice spike. Reiji approached walking sloppily and wavering towards her.

She frowned. "No thanks. You can barely walk straight on your own." She commented somewhat playfully.

Reiji growled silently, not really amused. "Here" He spoke while shoving her aside and taking Kyoya, the sleeping boy murmured as if he was objecting to his help. Soon Kyoya was dropped onto the bed by reiji who, instead of leaving, stuck around as Madoka moved to tuck her companion in and make him comfortable.

"Why are you still here?" Madoka kept her focus on Kyoya as she tried to ignore the feeling of unease wash over her.

"I don't understand you."

"What do you mean?"

"You're so...kind" He spoke still dragging out his S's. "Even to the other members and Doji himself, you're always so polite. Don't you get that we all see you as a prisoner and only wish for Doji to hurry up and get rid of the two of you? And I don't mean letting you go." Reiji watched her through his bangs, waiting for her to get scared or something like that. But she didn't.

"You make it sound like all of you are bad. Some of the other guys have been quite kind to me actually; bringing us extra food, telling that little boy to stop pestering Kyoya…"

"That was all Ryutaro and Reiki." Reiji frowned, those two were to nice. They know not to interfere...Doji will certainly have something to say to them.

"Well, whatever! They're nice and way better than you'll ever be!" Madoka glared getting more annoyed with him. She was sure at this point he was just determined to mess with her. "Unlike them you're a terrible person." Madoka turned so that she was no longer facing the snake like boy. She closed her eyes and said "now get out of here." She was almost scared that he might just get mad. And of course she was right.

Reiji had gotten annoyed with that response. "Listen" he hissed "you are in no place to talk-"

"There you are Reiji." a new voice spoke. "Doji wants to see you." a small groan was heard from Reiji as he turned to leave. He shot the shorter boy a glare and left. The unnamed boy left soon after also. Once the door was closed Madoka sighed and sat down next to Kyoya. She looked at his sleeping figure. He looked so peaceful and cute. What have you gotten us into? She sighed.

The room was silent as the three friends sat doing their own things. Tsubasa was researching on the computer with Hikaru watching over his shoulder. Ginga sat on the sofa quietly looking down at his Pegasus. The redhead appeared to be deep in thought, likely thinking of the events that took down a few days ago. Hikaru looked from the screen to Tsubasa then to Ginga, neither spoke a word. "It's my fault." She spoke up, tired of the quiet atmosphere. "I should've just let Madoka come with us."

"It's no one's fault Hikaru, no one would've thought that these guys would kidnap Madoka."

"I just didn't want anything happening to her and now…" Hikaru sighed, feeling a headache coming on.

"Ginga, you've been awfully quiet over there." Tsubasa looked up from the screen. The said boy looked over.

"Its nothing just-" Ginga set his bey down on the table in front of him. "Ryuga and that bey...they were so strong. I don't understand why Ryuga was able to fight with L-Drago with no problem." Tsubasa sighed in relief to himself. He had half expected for Ginga to go on about Madoka or Kyoya, or worse...the both of them together. Tsubasa had zero interest in Ginga's jealously rants and whether Madoka liked Kyoya. It wasn't any of his business.

"He was terrifying, just raw power and hate." Hikaru spoke."neither of us stood close to a chance in battle with him."

"I agree, but Ginga might be a match for him." Tsubasa commented before he got up and collecting the notes he had been writing down.

"You think so?"

"Defiantly. Ginga's a strong blader, he's won almost every battle I've seen him fight. Though it most likely will be a tough battle I think Ginga could really take him down."

"I can and I will." Ginga stood up. "Pegasus and I have been training constantly these past few days and we'll continue to and grow stronger until the day I face Ryuga comes." Ginga had a determined glint in his amber eyes.

"Well in that case let's get going. We have some seriously training to." Ginga joined Tsubasa's side and the two boys made their way out. "Are you coming Hikaru?"

"Uh...no. Aquarius still needs repairs and I'd rather wait for Madoka, I don't trust anyone else to mess with Aquarius than her!" Hikaru gave a smile.

Though Tsubasa didn't smile back. "Don't let whatever happened with Ryuga stop you from blading Hikaru."

Her face grew red as they left. "Th-that's not what's going on!"

"Is that what you think is going on with her?" Ginga questioned as the boys walked down the hall.

"No." Tsubasa responded, "I saw her battle some guy the other night, Aquarius really is damaged and her battling that guys just made it worse."

"Oh, why'd you say that then?"

Tsubasa shrugged with a small smile. "I know it annoys her."

Madoka made a small sound half where between a hum and a sigh at the sound of Kyoya's hushed voice. Her blue eyes fluttered open. Kyoya was sitting up with a half a sleep expression. "What's up?" She asked, wondering why he had woken her up.

"I was just thinking…" The boy began. "Do you...do you like Ginga? Like more than being a friend?" Kyoya practically held his breath waiting for her answer. He actually was somewhat nervous of what she might say.

"We're friends. I don't think I can see him more than that...at least now." Madoka fiddled with the blankets.

"Well I-" Kyoya stopped himself, trying to find the right words. "I was just thinking that maybe when we get back home we could go out or something...like a date maybe?" Madoka blushed. Sure he had told her how much he liked her before, but he never officially confessed and neither had she. Now that she thought of it the past few days they had kind of ignored whatever feelings they had. "It's fine if you don't want to! No big deal." Kyoya looked at her from the corner of his eye as he tried to keep up the tough attitude. Madoka just laughed. She had spent so much time with him that she didn't lay any mind to him when he did that. She thought that was pretty cute.

"Kyoya I would love it if we did go out." She grinned and jumped forward to embrace him. Kyoya responded quickly. This is great...this is great! He excitedly thought to himself. Everything is working out now so much more than I had thought. Now I just have to get us out of here and then everything will be perfect! Kyoya placed a quick kiss on top Madoka's head.

Okay originally I wanted to make this chapter longer, but the ideas I have don't really fit into the chapter. So I'll leave it off here for now.
