Kazuki gets up in the morning with a yawn and all of a sudden, someone knocks on the front door. After he does a quick change, he answers it.

"RRIIIIINNNN~~~~" A short figure jumps on him but it then immediately got off.

"Oh? Sorry! I thought you were someone else! Ehehee~" The short blonde guy said, but Kazuki immediately recognized him.

"Nagisa?"

"Oh? You know me?"

"Yes, I'm Rin's cousin"

"Wow, such a small world"

"No kidding"

"Well, is Rin around?"
"Yes, he lives in a separate dorm. Want me to show you the way?"

"Sure!"

Kazuki takes him there, "So, why have you come here?"

"I'm on holidays with Rei, so we decided to come here and see how Rin is going!"
"Where's Rei….?"

"Oh he's finishing on something before he can come up, we don't wanna start our trip without him don't we?"

"Nope, no one would want to"

They arrive at Rin's dorm and when Kazuki was about to knock…..

"RiIIIIIIINNN~~~" Nagisa barges in and whacks the door open. "Ah?" He finds Haru and Rin having a morning smooch.

"AH?!" Rin freaks out, "NAGISA?"

"Sousuke, Makoto, and now Nagisa?" Haru said.

"Aaaaah~~ Are you two daaatiiing?~~"

"Gh….yeah we are" Rin blushed.

"Good for you~" Nagisa sat down next to them, giving them a hug.

"Well, he took it in well" Haru said, and Rin nodded. "Hello Nagisa, long time no see"

"It's been a while Rin chan! Rei is coming too as soon as he can come"

"Rei as well? Well I'm not surprised, you guys keep popping up one after another"

"We wanted to come so it's not like we can help it~" He sat down next to the two. "Hm?" He noticed their rings on their hands "Couple rings?"

"Yeah, Rin gave them to us" Haru said.

"Whooaaa…you guys are serious!"

"OF COURSE WE ARE BAKA" Rin beamed at him and leans on Haru pouting and Haru gives him a cuddle, brushing Rin's hair.

"Hehe~ You guys are cute~" Nagisa commented.

"So….how are you going Nagisa?"

"Me? I'm wonderful thank you~ I have been working as an assistant chef and I help Makoto out sometimes too as extra help around with kids and cleaning the pool. Its great fun"

"Wow, do you live alone?'

"No, I live with Rei!"

"You have a nice life full of adventure. When do you think Rei will get here?"

Then Kazuki heard someone puffing next to him, "Huh? WHAA-" He noticed a puffed out Rei next to him.

"Nagisa…Don't leave without meeee" Rei whined.

"Reiii~~~" Nagisa gave him a hug. "What are you doing? Did you finish your assignment?"

"As soon as I realized you had already left, I finished it and rushed to take the next plane! Why didn't you wait for me?!"

"Sowwyyy Rei…."

"Anways…..Hello Rin sempai, Haruka sempai. It is nice to see you all again" Rei smiled at them and then once he looked at them, Rin was growling a bit.

"Rule one, no one calls my boyfriend by his full name, only I do!" Rin said.

"Oh? Congratulations Rin, Haru sempai" Rei smiled in response to their relationship.

"Oh, thanks Rei" Rin said, appreciating the surprising response from Rei.

"Rin, Rei actually has a crush on Mako chan!" Nagisa spilled.

"Nagisaaaaa!" Rei whined.

"Really?!" Kazuki gasped.

"….." Rei looked down, "It's actually not acceptable in fact….Makoto hates me….."

"Ah….that kinds of explains it" Haru realized.

"Eh?"

"You see…..we saw him the other day and he was completely against us…..maybe it was because he was angered by you…."

"Ah"

"Did you confess to him?"

"Yes….um…

"Well…yeah….but he wasn't pleased when I did…..ever since then he never picked up my calls…..and when he rejected me he was shocked in a bad way"

"So he put you down on the spot?"

"Yes…..it wasn't like him at all…., the Makoto I know is generous and kind…but you saw him the other day?"

"Yes, he had a negative response to our relationship…..but we settled him"

"Settled…?"

"Yeah, you see…we worked him out and he apologized to us for being selfish, he felt bad when he realized what he did, for holding Haru back"

"He did…?"

"He thought that my feelings for Rin were unnecessary and stupid so he held me back" Haru explained.

"….I worry about him…I hope he's okay…. Did he go back to Japan?"

"Yes"

"So I missed him…."

"Yeah, I'm sorry Rei. Why don't you come down and put down your luggage?" Rin said.

"Thank you sempai" Rei puts down his luggage and sits down next to Haru and Rin, Kazuki comes down too and rubs his back, feeling sorry for him.

"I'm sorry, this isn't beautiful…" He said.

"No Rei, don't worry about how you look or how perfect you are, let yourself free to do things more. Be a bit more careless" Kazuki said.

"Huh?"

"Like Descartes and his theory of forms, there cannot ever be the perfect circle or the perfect horse, because it won't have certainty that it will be perfect. People all the time will judge on what is beautiful and ugly and it's not always the same answer so don't worry okay Rei?"

"What the heck is he saying….?" Rin said.

"…You know Philosophy! You study it?!" Rei was surprised.

"Yes, in high school I adapted to it"

"How amazing! I was inspired by that theory of forms. It puzzled me at first but I thought it was simply wonderful! You see, when I studied it more it improved my own character, so being beautiful is something that I think of based from my opinion, not others. Other than that his theory of the mind and body being separate from each other was great too! The soul is such an amazing thing that can come up with all our senses to determine the things around us" Rei continues on.

"Hahahahaha…."

"….Philosophy? Like I know what that is…..sounds confusing…" Rin said.

"Well, nice to meet you Kazuki"

"Nice to meet you too Rei"

"Do you do science as well?" They give each other a handshake.

"No, I am more of a IT and animator person. Science doesn't go well with me but I can do art as well"

"I see….well I can't draw…..Makoto can…." Then he sighed, depressed all over again.

"….Hm….maybe I can find him for you" Kazuki said. "Huh? You can?" Rin said.

"Yeah, does anyone has his contacts?"

"We all do, but he has blocked me…." Rei said.

"Okay, what kind of phones do you have?"

They all took them out and Kazuki looked at them, "They're all androids huh? Have either of you guys connected your Bluetooth with his device?"

"I have once…it was to send a music file to him…" Rei said.

"Okay, send your contacts to this address **** and come with me" Kazuki gets up and takes Rei with him to his dorm.

"I sent it….whoa" Rei was stopped upon the massive equipment that Kazuki has.

Kazuki picks up an iPad and turns it on, he then receives the contacts and opens up find my iPhone app, "Let's see if he is holding an iPhone….if not we are going to track him with location services"

"You can track him like that?" Rei asked, "Yeah, people use it if someone goes missing or something"

"Now…..ah, he's online"

"You found him?!" Rei goes and takes a look at the screen. "He's back in Japan….I see…."

"Would you like to go after him?"

"AH, no I don't want to be a bother to him or you…."

"Rei, you're on break and so am I. We can go after him if you wish to, besides, since that you're on holiday we can make this an adventure"

"Ah…okay! Then take good care of me…."

"Me too, since that I have never been to Japan before"

"Then I'll tell Nagisa what we are doing, if he wants to stay here he can feel free to and I'll get my things"

"Okay, then I'll get what I need"

Then Rei goes off while Kazuki packs up his things. He packs the iPad and grabs the same luggage from the day before. Then Rei comes back, "Nagisa is all good with it, he wants to stay here with Rin and Haru sempai"

"Okay then, I guess it's just the two of us then. All ready?"

"You're quick to pack"

"I just came back from Melbourne, so I'm grabbing the luggage from that small trip"

"You seem to have been around a lot Kazuki san. But I'm ready to find Makoto"

"Great" He smiled, "Let's go!"

Soon, 6 hours later they arrived in Japan, Tokyo. Rei has been sleeping soundly after a friendly chat getting to know each other, since then they have been sleeping so they don't get jet lag but they were able to wake up after they landed.

"Tokyo…..I kind of feel Makoto here…."

"I know how that feels Rei. When I go to Melbourne, I feel the presence of my high school crush"

"I see….so this is normal then. I also remember Makoto's scent and whenever I smell it I know that he is around…"

"Well, the next thing to do is find him" Kazuki takes out his iPad again and takes a look.

"Rei, do you recognise this address he is at right now?"

Rei takes a look, "Oh, that's where he works at Iwatobi"

"Do you know how to get there?"

"Yes, please, follow me…."

Rei takes Kazuki along all the way to Iwatobi, as they got off the last bus, Rei takes a breath.

"Rei, if we can do this so easily, why can't you do it yourself?"

"Because….I'm scared of what he'll say to me….so I cannot approach him like this…. I thank you for taking me with you, it makes me feel supported…."

"I'm here to help you aren't I?"

"Yes, and please continue to"

They both nodded to each other and went on as they walked to the Iwatobi swim club.

"…Somehow I'm getting really nervous…." Rei said nervously.

"It's okay, I'm here" Kazuki pats his shoulder and Rei smiles a bit, trying to be confident.

Then they finally arrive. Rei stiffens for a moment and takes a few breaths. "I'm here…..let's go Kazuki. Let's find Makoto"
