.:Recap:.

Len's POV

"We probably should head back now if we want to sleep well tonight." I said with my usual expression on my face.

I kneeled once more and she got on and we headed back to our shelter to get our sleep.

Kahoko's POV

Something cold was on my cheek, I thought as I was becoming conscious once more of my surroundings. Could it be Len's hand? I was about to smile at the thought, but then I knew it couldn't be Len's hand.

Why?

Well, though it may be cold, it was something...er...mushy? A bit rigid, but not so sharp.

I shivered and opened my eyes slowly and reached for my cheek.

Snow?

My eyes widened a bit. Eh? I could have sworn It was still Spring. What's going on?

I shivered but got up anyways and rubbed my eyes.

What I saw in front of me was a weird sight. The grass, had turned into snow. The fire has been extinguished by it as well. When I looked sideways, I saw that the river has frozen. I looked up and saw that the tree had no more leaves and instead had piles of snow upon the branches. In which a small pile of snow fell on my head.

I oofed and shook my head.

"Hm..." I looked to my left and blushed. Tsukimori-kun's body was facing me and his face was a bit close to mine. That wasn't the real reason I blushed though. Some of the snow i shook off landed on his cheek which was why he had such a troubled look.

I lifted my hand and swept some of the snow off and during that i felt his cheek. It was a bit cold. I let my hand caress his cheek loving the feeling of his skin against my own.

What I saw then was probably one of the sights I will never forget.

He smiled. A small soft smile, but it was still a smile.

"Aww~! So kawaii!"

I flinched at the new voice and turned to see Lili.

"Lili!" I said with happiness. Then I remembered the past events. "Lili..." I said with a growl.

Lili looked a bit scared. Oh he should be. He started waving his hands in front of him. "A-ano. Uh see i know you might be a little mad right now but-"

"A little? Really Lili?" I clenched my hands tighter.

"Okay, probably a lot, but if you kill me, i won't be able to tell you what's going on right?"

I thought about this and nodded. "Okay Lili."

"Ufghr.." I tilted my head at the weird sound and saw that Len was waking up.

Oh no.

Len's POV

At first I felt something cold on my cheek which was a very great discomfort. But soon it was replaced by a warm feeling...

As soon as I didn't feel the warmth anymore (Kahoko already withdrew her hand) I felt myself trying to be conscious once more.

I opened my eyes little by little and the first thing I saw was

"Hino..." My vision sharpened and yes it was truly her. "What are you doing so early?"

I rubbed my eyes and turned to see the surprising situation around me.

"And why is it... winter season?" I looked around more being flabbergasted and even more surprising, I saw that annoying fairy again.

"You!" I glared at him while he made a scared expression. "I have a feeling you're behind all this aren't you?"

The fairy rubbed his head.

"Uh... exactly for which part? You being here away from your world or the season changing?"

I got up and grabbed it in my hand before it escaped. "Both." I said in a menacing tone.

"Ah T-Tsukimori-kun, there's no need to be mad at Lili uh see he was going to-wait a minute. How are you not surprised?"

I turned to Kaho who was still sitting down on the snow. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, how are you not shocked that you are talking and holding a fairy? Don't you find that a bit, I don't know Odd!"

"Hn, I already met um, Lili."

Kahoko's POV

"Eeehh! Nani? When!"

'I already knew that they had at least already saw each other because I saw them myself together at the park... Okay technically I didn't see them, but I heard their voices at the park as if they were having a conversation. But if I didn't say that, they would be suspicious of me.'

"Actually Hino-san... you should be asking him all the questions. He was the one to annoy me first after all."

Lili squirmed. "Hey!" Don't be mean Len-chaaaan~!"

Len squeezed him harder. "Itaaaaiiiii~!"

All i could have done was sweatdrop and shook my head. 'Oh Lili...' I sighed.

Before Len could squeeze him any further, I decided to interrogate Lili. "Lili, if you don't want to be squeezed to death by Tsukimori-kun, then I think it would be a good idea if you just spill on what the heck is going on."

"Not to mention answer all my questions as well." Len added.

Lili nodded. "Hai hai, just let me go!" Len released his grip on Lili and Lili fell to the ground clearly trying to catch his breath.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

...

Kahoko's POV

Once Tskuimori-kun and I ate our share of apples, we left the camp site. Lili told us to leave the apples because he said we won't be needing it once today is over. He was now leading us somewhere, but the mystery was, where was he actually taking us?

"Ah Lili? Not to sound impatient or anything, but exactly where are we headed to?"

"Well we're not heading to our main goal, but just to get away from that campsite of yours."

"And exactly why did we move?" Len asked.

"Well see, remember that awful creature back then?"

Both Len and I nodded.

"Well it lives near that campsite of yours. When you woke up, you must have noticed that there was a lake by you. That was where it resides."

I gulped. We were so close to our deaths!

"Lili... where are we exactly?"

Lili was about to explain again that they were in the forest and etc. but Kahoko interrupted.

"I mean where exactly are we! This doesn't look like something you'd walk by in the park or anywhere in Japan unless you decide to go to the forests..."

"I too am curious about this." Len added.

Lili stopped in midair and sighed. "I guess it's better to tell you both now before you figure it out for yourselves since you'll probably faint by being so flabbergasted."

We raised our eyebrows and Lili sighed once more.

"Alright... we are in a place called the Akifumi; meaning bright history. Yes, it can be a name, but that name originated from this kingdom. There are many kingdoms in this 'world.' So yes, you are not in your everyday Japan at the moment. Right now at this moment... we are in Japan, but in another aspect of the universe.

Kahoko sweatdropped and this time it was Len who sighed.

"So in a nutshell of what you are trying to explain to us, we are still in Japan, but in a different time." Len stated.

"Precisely."

Kahoko nodded with her mouth slightly opened. "Oooh. Oh. Oh! H-how did we get here! All I remembered was that... that... I was pulled by something by that lake and I woke up here."

"I followed your voice Hino-san and saw that creature Lili was referring to; pulled you in for some reason and I went after you. When I woke up, I also awoken to this strange new place..."

Lili nodded. "You can say it works somehow like a portal. How do you think I came from my world to yours?"

"Ah! So we are in your homelands right Lili?"

"Yup!" Lili smiled. "You came just in time actually. I need both of you to do me a huge favor!" Lili looked at the both of us with wide puppy eyes.

"Why should we assist you anyways?" Len asked the little fairy who was pouting. "Well. If it wasn't for me, you two wouldn't even have met." He muttered.

"Pardon?"

"Ah nothing nothing~!"

Len might have not heard, but I did. Crystal clear. I blushed but shook my head.

Len's POV

From my peripheral vision, I saw that Kahoko had a light tint of red on her cheeks and she was finished shaking her head.

I in turn shook my head as I was trying to decipher her actions.

"So. What exactly did you need us for? Keep in mind we are only high school students who mainly study music. I have no clue on what on earth you will need us for."

"Oh trust me Len, I will have to have both of yours and Kaho-chan's help! Come on now! Let's keep going! We're not that far from the kingdom.

I looked at Kaho and shrugged. I also decided to just follow the path he was making.

After a few seconds though I realized Kaho wasn't keeping up. I turned and saw her walking baby steps or just walking like she was in a daydream.

"Oi!" I snapped my fingers in front of her. "Pay attention or you could get lost."

"Ah gomenasai Tsukimori-kun but ah... I'm just worried or scared all of a sudden. Hehe..."

I rolled my eyes and she was about to retort but I grabbed her hand and tugged at it a bit as she was being led by me.

Who knows what was out there. More danger I suppose? Either way... my hand didn't want to release that hand of hers.

Aw! Shoot! Sorry guys -yawn- for the long wait.
