Chapter 15: Bracelet

Black eyes the size of beads blinked curiously as soon as it heard familiar sounds echoing throughout its home known as a log to mankind. With a destination in mind, the creature's body began to move with the help of its thin but firm legs. Soon, a warm, glowing light shone from the log's entrance which enabled the tiny bug to see the commotion outside its humble abode. Before the insect could do anything, greetings and welcoming laughter of its brothers and sisters encircled it followed by its parents watching them in delight. Without further ado, they each took their positions in preparing their live performance like they always do every night. It was meant to be an important custom in a family of crickets from what the parents told the petite bug. As the cricket opened its mouth to sing, its eyes caught the sight of faint light flickering on and off like a switch from an opened window of a confined looking tree house.

In this small room camouflaged by woods and leaves, the atmosphere was enclosed by uncomfortable stillness with tension so thick it was hard to breathe to the four occupants circling around the table. Only a candle stood proudly in the middle of said table, its little flame illuminating the whole area which caused the shadows of the four teens to be painted on the wall. However, what the humans ogled at were not the candle but the blue object that seemed to sparkle brilliantly under the fire.

After what it appeared like time has stopped moving, one has decided to break the silence.

"So what is this and what does it do?" A white-haired stripling asked edgily as his head motioned towards the sky blue colored item with his arms crossed over his chest.

The tallest of the four hummed thoughtfully before he leaned closer until his nose almost touched the thing. His ocean-deep blue eyes inspected the item with calculating thoughts processing in his brain. "I don't know, it's made of something similar to glass yet much better and stronger than that." Kaiba then picked the bracelet up with his fingers brushing on the smooth texture of glass-like surface. "It's just like any other bracelet out there but made with high quality materials that can withstand any climate and damages-"

"Ooo…let me try!" The only full-blooded Egyptian among the group snatched the bracelet in the blink of an eye and smacked it on the table with a loud clang sound.

"Hey, wait a second-"

Seto's words fell on deaf ears as Marik's right arm promptly morphed into a deadly wood-saw and when he tried cutting the object apart, the saw's sharp teeth broke like it was made with soft clay.

"Gyah! My arm!" Yelled Marik as he turned his hand back to its original form with red bruises emerged on the skin.

"My turn!" Bakura declared as he relentlessly slashed the blue item with his wind dagger dance in a mini-tornado, yet the technique did nothing but wreaked havoc to the poor looking tree-house.

"Bakura, make it stop!" Seto bellowed with his eyes flashing promises of infinite doom if the Air Elemental did not ceased the commotion anytime soon.

"Fine, fine." Bakura said irritatingly whilst rolling his eyes. With a small wave of his palm, the tornado disappeared in an instant.

As they brushed the dirt off their clothes and resumed their sitting positions, the tri-colored haired teenager finally spoke. "I tried melting the bracelet earlier and it was still intact, the surface is just as smooth as if it was newly bought." Then without waiting for a reply, he took the object and wrapped it around his right wrist. "And I didn't feel anything when wearing it."

They took turns wearing said item and when it was lastly Seto's turn, his eyes widened in response.

"I feel…"

Three pairs of eyes stared at him attentively with anxiety rose initially in the room again.

"…nothing." And then, his three cousins groaned while face palming in response.

"In the end, we found nothing!" Bakura retorted with his arms hanging up in the air, dissatisfaction written all over his face. "That's it, I'm out of here!"

"Bakura-"

"Sorry, Seto but I'm going back too." Marik stated with a loud yawn as the main reason of his departure.

It was understandable that they were tired as they were having a private meeting in a tree-house made by none other than the Earth Elemental a little over midnight.

"It's getting late, Seto so we should get going. We've been having this meeting long enough and I don't want Yugi to find out that I'm going outside in the middle of the night again."

"Tch, fine but we absolutely have to get some answers tomorrow no matter what." The blue-eyed youth said whilst gritting his teeth in annoyance, he then turned to Yami and this time, his voice was a lot smoother than before. "You better put it back to where it belongs before things get suspicious."

A nod and a firm hold of the bracelet was all Yami did before he too, jumped down the tree-house and summoned a fire disk under his feet to improve his speed. When he reached Yugi's tent entrance, the teenager's ruby eyes met with midnight blue ones.

"You did a good job, Flare." Yami said as he allowed the woodpecker picking up the bracelet using its long, pointy beak. "Now put it back to its original spot and do it quietly." With a single nod, his feathery companion took off and finished her task.

Truth be told, Flare was supposed to be taking Yugi's watch without his notice but it proved to be difficult when said teen was wearing it 24/7 so a bracelet would have to do and as you can see, the result was fruitless when the four Elementals tried in every might, uncovered its mysteries during the assembly.

Yet the longer he stared at the bracelet, the more Yami felt something was amiss. Then suddenly, a memory flash of Yugi and Yami falling down the waterfall invaded in his brain like an abrupt video call trying to tell him an important message. 'Huh? What's this?' The next thing he knew, another animated image of Yugi holding Yami's hand entered his mind but what made him clutch his head was when he remembered getting knocked out by a giant boulder at the end of the fall.

'So that's what happened but I think there's a missing link here, how did Yugi and I survive the fall?' That's the only thought he pondered on before sleep overtook him.

-During early sunrise-

"This day has just gotten better and better." The bronze-colored skin adolescent mused with a wide grin plastered on his face. His mood brightened so powerfully that he did not care if he had not gotten enough sleep and this was unusual to a person who always complained about sleep deprival.

Earlier on, Marik was persistently dragged by his other 'twin' who had planned to have a spar with him in this clear morning. Since Marik was not a morning person, his attitude tend to degenerate as he growled, yelled, kicked, jumped, and did anything to prevent him from getting out of the house but to no avail as once Malik decided on something, he would get it no matter what it took.

As the spar went on, Malik with a resolute mind, determined to make a bet with him that whoever loses the next round has to make breakfast for the winner and of course, Marik being a competitive guy accepted the challenge. The fight was greatly longer than expected and when Malik thought he was winning, his 'double' managed to turn the tables by executing a move he had never seen before and the spar concluded with Marik ultimately pinning him down before grabbing Malik's right leg.

"I'll be waiting for your delicious heartfelt breakfast!" The Earth Elemental exclaimed in a sing-song tone while giggling inwardly in his mind.

"Oh, you will…with poison in them too!"

However, even if he knew Malik's threats were nothing but empty words, the pine-looking haired boy never thought that such an event would come true.

"Breakfast is ready! I hope it suits your taste."

The food was almost as good as his mum's cooking…was what Marik thought of and sometimes, the Newcastle student would feed him willingly! Though it was no surprise when he later on, requested the taller teen to teach him some tricks which he relented when Malik casted his very own puppy-dog eyes.

'It better be worth it…I have tried so hard cooking with Ryou's help and that isn't easy for me.' Malik thought gallingly whilst casting an exasperated glance at his counterpart. 'That's gonna be the last time I cook for someone.' The recollection of him almost burning down the kitchen due to his cooking mistakes made him shudder in response.

Right after breakfast when Marik entered the bathroom, he joyfully hummed a tone while washing his hands; his grin remained wide with his features reflected on a small, round mirror. 'I see a pretty flower growing on top of my head, that's nice.' Mused the youngster blissfully but when he resumed back to wiping his wet hands, all happy thoughts popped out instantaneously like bursting bubbles as his lilac colored eyes shifted back to the mirror.

Meanwhile, a young white-haired fellow was sauntering back to the room he and Ryou shared when he passed through the kitchen and heard a conversation about him and his 'twin'.

"I see that you're getting close to Bakura." Yugi stated whilst releasing a light chuckle.

"Well, he's not such a bad person when you get to know him more." Ryou answered before placing a clean plate back to the automatic dish dryer.

"Really? I think he's unapproachable, like a bad-tempered cat that always hisses at anyone he sees." Joey stated with one hand grasping on a chicken wing, a leftover from his morning meal.

Just when Bakura was about to attack the idiotic 'mutt', his counterpart's laughter terminated his movement.

"I thought the same thing too when I first met him but as we spend more time together, I find that he's not such a bad person after all." Ryou said with a dazzling smile written on his face. "He can be nice sometimes; he just doesn't like showing it."

"Ah, he's a Tsundere then." Yugi's words caused more laughter to be heard in the kitchen but Bakura had already left the scene and was now entering the room with his back against the door.

'Those bothersome brats, they should mind their own business and not talk about me behind my back.' Yet warm fuzzy feelings took over his entire being when he recalled Ryou's words and everything he had done for him thus far especially the boneless fish nuggets the smaller youth specifically made for him last night. 'It can't be the fact that I'm going soft because of him, darn Ryou and his caring ways.'

As the ex-Oxford student continued to cogitate on the matter, his fingers unconsciously touched his left thigh and that's when all hell broke loose.

Before lunch took place, Yami sipped on a cola with a straw between his fingers as he patiently waited for the food to be served and just as he promenaded through the hallway, a strong grip onto his left wrist snapped his thoughts out but Yami was too late as the next thing he saw, darkness engulfed him. The crimson-eyed teen did not have to wait long as a pen-like torch helped lighting up the tiny, cramped room with various boxes and objects surrounding the four teenagers.

"What's going on-"

"Shh…" Marik hushed with a finger on his lips. "Don't let the others know we're here."

"What happened?" Yami asked with his voice soften a great deal, he turned to his closest cousin, Seto who shrugged his shoulders in reply.

"I tell you what happened." The boy with the darkest skin among the group exclaimed worriedly. "There's something wrong with Bakura and me."

"Where's Bakura?"

Yami's question was answered when he saw the torch pen swirling around as an indication that said person was here.

"I was turned into an invisible, floating freak while Marik has flowers growing all over his body."

"What?!" Was the only word uttered by Seto and Yami in unison.

"It's true, see?" Marik removed the hat that he borrowed from Bakura and there it was, a pink flower blooming with all its glory on his head. "I tried making them disappear but no matter what I do, they still grow on me so I have to wear the hat and long-sleeved shirt to cover them."

Bakura let out a huff of air before saying, "At least I don't have to cover anything since I'm basically hidden to the naked eye!"

Seto and Yami exchanged glances before turning back to their troubled cousins with the taller of the two first spoke. "When did these changes occur?"

Marik without further ado explicated the events to them followed by a hesitant Bakura but thankfully, it did not take long for Seto to draw out his deduction with his sharp brain.

"I believe that you guys have triggered these reactions by having some kind of emotions and there are only a few I can name of…" After a short pause, he continued, "…happiness and love." The brunet smirked roguishly when he said the word 'love.'

"No! There's no way that I-"

"You think about those happy times you spent together with Ryou and how he is being such a good friend to you." Seto clarified evenly with his icy, piercing blue eyes gazing back at Bakura's indiscernible ones. "Face it, you're warming up to him and now you're having those pleasant feelings that activate your disappearing ability, the same apply to you with your blooming skill, Marik."

They knew they were losing their battle as what Seto said was nothing short of truth but the next query made the Water Elemental froze in impermanent shock.

"When did you get so perceptive with these kinds of things, don't tell me that you have experienced it too?"

Bakura's snigger was shortly cut off by Kaiba's retort. "The professor has once told us about things that will affect us should our emotions take control over our thoughts and that's exactly what happens right now to the both of you."

'So Seto thinks the same thing I did...argh, no I'm not in love with Yugi!'

Yami's action in face palming has drawn attention to him at once. "What's with you, Yami? Did this happen to you too?"

The ruby-eyed adolescent was about to reply when his alerted ears picked up various voices that penetrated through the door.

"Quick, they're coming this way!"

However, Yami's warning only manages to increase everyone's apprehension out of his system.

"But what should we do? There's not much time left-"

Marik's speech was cut off by Seto who told them to calm their minds by meditating in a crossed-leg position which they had no choice but followed his orders and when the door opened in a hasty thud…

"What are you guys doing cooping in a closet?"

Four teenagers stood outside the door whilst eyeing their counterparts with dubiousness shown in the Newcastle students' eyes; fortunately both Bakura and Marik were able to remove any evidence of their powers in time.

"We were err…we found this pen torch right here!" The Earth manipulator exclaimed dumbly with anxiety and sweats dripping all over his face.

"That's mine." Ryou said with his right hand taking the item back from Marik's grasp. "Thanks for that but it still doesn't explain why all four of you are gathering in a closet."

When they thought all hopes were lost, Yami in due course came up with an idea.

"We plan to have a surprise night party with you all since you're going to leave soon so we try to search for some stuff…"

Seto being the smart individual understood where this was going. "…that's right, like this new barbecue set; hmm…you guys have some nice appliances here."

"No! You people have foiled our plan!" Marik yelled with thwarted expression painted on his features though his actions were exaggerated by pretending to wail with his arms fluttered like garlands which made everyone sweat dropped in response.

"O…kay but why do you have to look for our stuff? Didn't you guys bring these things along too when you started to camp in the forest?"

"For your information, most of our things have been blown away by that storm!" Bakura's shout and intense glare caused Joey to clamp his mouth shut.

"Alright now, it's just a small misunderstanding so just let it be." Yugi stated with slight nervousness in his tone. "Thanks for the thought, guys but we can do it together, it's more fun this way."

"Oh yeah! Barbecue time coming right up!" Joey affirmed excitedly and as he was prepared to grab the barbecue set box away from Seto's grip, Ryou's hold on his shirt collar prohibited him to do so.

"Not until dinner, Joey."

That sentence alone forced him to comply to Ryou's wishes as the day went on monotonously until…

"Oh no, where is it?!"

Yugi's cry raised an alarm to not only his other three classmates but also their newly met acquaintances. They had all eaten their appetizing lunch which courteously dished out by the most wonderful chef among them, Ryou Bakura. The petite amethyst-eyed stripling began his mission by asking a range of questions to each of his friends and when it finally came down to Yami…

"Yami, have you seen my blue bracelet?"

That particular inquiry stabbed an acute arrow right into his heart.

"No, I haven't seen it."

"Are you sure? It's made of something comparable to glass and the color is exactly like a clear blue sky." Yugi said with his voice mixed with distress and anticipation. "I think I've shown you once before…"

"Yes, you did a few days ago but I really don't know where it is. I'm sorry."

Yami's honest response was not what Yugi hoped for so his shoulders slumped in defeat before he slowly sat onto the sofa, the scintillating purple eyes that Yami admired so much dimmed to a great extent. "Why didn't I notice it before? Where have I left it?"

Yami crouched down to Yugi's level before placing an arm around the smaller one's shoulders. "Don't worry; I'm sure you'll find it soon."

"I really hope so. That bracelet is very important to me." Yugi said whilst releasing a deep, long sigh.

"Is it a memento by someone very close to you?"

"Well, it's given by a close friend of mine." The shorter of the two smiled slightly before standing up. "I better go look for it again before dinner time."

"Sure, I'll help searching for it too."

"Thanks, Yami."

As they went separate ways, they were not aware of both teens giving each other a cautious glance before vanishing into different rooms.

'I must find Flare and ask her where she puts the bracelet before it's too late.' Was the only thought in Yami's brain before he opened Yugi's entrance door and stepped out of the tent. At the same time, Yugi's arms moved frantically with his fingers clutching many of the small items found in his study room's drawers with one thought in mind.

'I have to find the bracelet fast before time's running out. Our identities are at risk.'

In another tent located close to Yugi's, similar occurrence took place in Joey's room.

"Where is it? Where's that darn thing?" The blond-haired youngster sputtered in aggravation with couples of sweats rolling down his cheeks. "But come to think of it, when did Yugi step into my tent? Oh whatever, I'll think about it later!"

"What are you doing?" Joey's roommate, Seto Kaiba asked while at the same time, avoiding objects being thrown towards him as Joey was in an extreme panic mode to care about his room's appalling, cluttered state and Kaiba's safety.

"The bracelet obviously! We have to find it before it gets…ugh!"

'That item must be very important if they're looking for it so bad.' The brown-haired adolescent ruminated whilst casting a guarded glance at the orange-red bracelet that coiled securely around Joey's right wrist. "What does this bracelet do?"

"Eh, it's just a device that restricts…" Apparently, Joey had long forgotten who he was speaking to and when he spun round, Kaiba's wintry blue eyes bored into his chocolate irises, like he was trying to look into Joey's soul.

"Restricts what exactly?"

A minute later, Kaiba found himself face to face with Joey's bedroom door.

'Phew, I almost blew it…that's one of our top secrets that they must never discover. Kaiba must be a really good hypnotizer if he can make me forget everything just by seeing his beautiful marine blue eyes…beautiful?' The Newcastle playboy thought with a quiver before he recommenced his quest for Yugi's bracelet. 'Still, I suppose they wouldn't detect its function since the effect only takes place after 30 minutes when wearing it…crap, I'm wasting time here!'

Kaiba on the other hand had different thoughts in his head as without thinking, the Water Elemental pattered towards a particular tent with one person in mind…Yami.

In the middle of the forest where rustles of footsteps could be heard, a boy with irises the colors of blazing fire flitted aimlessly whilst at the same moment, calling out a comrade's name.

"Flare, where are you? I want to talk to you about the bracelet."

Soon enough, a soaring flame flapped towards his direction and before he could utter a word, Flare reached Yami's right shoulder with gorgeous feathers gleaming vividly like that of a legendary bird found in Greek mythology, Phoenix.

One look of Yami's eyes told the woodpecker all she needed to know as she guiltily bowed her head in shame.

"You didn't put it back to Yugi's room, didn't you?"

A small whimper from the bird's beak was the only response she could give.

"Tell me, where is the bracelet?"

After around 10 minutes of walking, Yami's feathery friend led him towards a primeval tree that stood sturdy for decades and subsequently, flew into the tree's hole to retrieve the missing item.

"I hope you have a good reason why you are doing this." The Fire Elemental said decisively yet his eyes held a scolding glare towards the disconsolate woodpecker. "Now we better go back to-"

"Yami!"

At the familiar voice of one of his cousins, said teen stopped his actions as he saw Seto trotting towards him in a faraway distance and with his long legs, able to reach his destination without much trouble.

"I finally found you." The brunet stated with only some sweat on his forehead and a puff of air released from his mouth. "I found something that might help us expose their true identities."

That one information straightened Yami up right away. "What is it?"

"The bracelet actually has a purpose that…where did you get Yugi's bracelet?"

Yami then realized Seto's gaze was now fully onto the sky blue item in his right hand's grip. "Well, it seems that Flare hasn't returned it to where it belongs." At that sentence, he gave the bird another frown.

"Flare?"

"This woodpecker right here." Yami said with a smile as he caressed Flare's neck in a fond way which she returned by leaning onto his touch enthusiastically. "Flare, meet one of my cousins, Seto Kaiba. Seto, meet Flare, my feathery buddy."

"That's nice." The taller of the two said in an indifferent tone. "Anyway, back to the beginning. I spoke to Joey a while ago and he accidentally slipped out a significant data that those bracelets they're wearing are control devices."

"Control devices?" Yami's goggled eyes immediately went back to inquisitive ones. "What does it control?"

"That I have no idea." Seto said with a cantankerous expression plastered on his striking features. "He just said that it's a device that restricts something and then he kicked me out of the room. I think it is somewhat important judging by the look of his face."

"At least we got a clue so that's a good thing."

"True but that doesn't speak much of what and who they actually are." Without waiting for a reply, he spun round to meet Yami's eyes before saying, "I'm going to inform Bakura and Marik about this information."

"Okay, I'll stay around for a bit."

"Be back for dinner and don't go too far."

"Alright, alright." Yami replied with a chuckle as he watched his cousin running back to the tents for a few minutes before he turned to the woodpecker that was cleaning her feathers.

"Do you know anything about it too? Is that why you're hiding this bracelet from Yugi?"

As if she could hear Yami's thoughts, Flare tentatively nodded its head.

"I wish you can speak our language, I'm sure that will help us a lot." The human shook his head unconscientiously as his gaze positioned onto the sky which gradually spread into different colors, signifying the beginning of a sunset. "I can only assume that you've seen or heard something that we should know, right Flare?"

The clever woodpecker nodded in reply but all actions were shortly halted as a squirrel jumped and climbed onto several trees before it fruitfully got into contact with the bird. It seemed like they were communicating in a frantic way and before long, the squirrel went back to its home with Yami giving Flare a quizzical look.

"And I thought your species can only understand bird's language, so you can understand squirrel's language too?"

Flare nodded briefly with a twinkle of amusement swimming in her midnight blue eyes but what was surprising to Yami was the fact that the woodpecker was pulling his shirt collar like she was in a hurry.

"You want to show me something?" Yet the teenager had already started to follow his companion as they went towards the one direction Yami recognized the most, the path to the lake.

In the meantime, sounds of footsteps were echoing throughout Ryou's tent as Yami's three cousins searched for their targets known as their respective roommates.

"Are you sure about this Seto?" Marik asked apprehensively but they were halfway towards the stairs by now.

"Without a doubt, we can't avoid this forever and judging by the way they react when Yugi's bracelet went mislaid, I can tell that they are hiding something from us…that is if they have already found out who we really are."

A gulp from Marik and an intensifying grimace from Bakura were the reactions of hearing that comment but all thoughts were brought out when they saw Ryou's bedroom door. The older teenagers each leaned against the door as near as they could yet their efforts were futile as the room had obviously been sound-proofed.

"What should we do now?" Marik inquired with edginess and keenness merged in his tone.

"We can't undo the sound-proof wall from the control room; the last thing we want is for them to find out that we're trying to eavesdrop on their conversation." Seto mused with a hand holding his chin before making eye contact with Bakura.

"Heh, that's gonna be easy for me to dispel it if you allow me to use my powers."

After much contemplation, Seto released a bothered sigh before nodding, "Fine, but do it carefully and without their notice."

A simple wind dagger dance in stealth mode was all they required to take down the imperceptible wall as the three teenagers tried to make out words their ears were beginning to pick up.

"What?! You've told Kaiba about the use of the bracelet?" The loudest voice was most certainly come from none other than Malik Ishtar.

"I'm so sorry! My tongue slipped again but I only told him that it's a device that controls something, nothing else I swear!" Pleaded Joey as he bowed his head repetitively and was almost about to taste Malik's punch that was extensively acknowledged and feared by most of the college students in Newcastle University.

"You didn't tell him what that 'something' is right?" Ryou asked with his left hand rising to rub his forehead in frustration before he pulled his two schoolmates apart to avoid another brawl.

"No, I didn't. I'm sorry!"

"You know, Joey Wheeler. Someday that mouth of yours is going to be the death of us all."

"I already said sorry, what else do you want me to do, Malik?"

"There's plenty I can think of…" The bronze-skinned stripling replied with a humorous yet malice smirk that could still sent shivers down Joey's spine. Just as thoughts of using various torturing devices on Joey materialized in Malik's imaginative head, Ryou's speech snapped him out of it.

"Enough of this guys and get serious here. We have a problem in our hands right now."

"Two if you count Yugi's missing bracelet." Joey stated helpfully but that information made his two pals' moods darken more. "What are we suppose to do?"

All eyes were now onto the only boy with long, white hair.

"We have no choice but to do Plan B and you know what that means." Goggling eyes of his friends were the reactions Ryou expected to receive. "I'm sure Yugi feels the same way when he hears this. I can only hope that things go smoothly when we carry out this operation."

"Yeah…" Joey said with a distressing sigh. "Operation "Unwrapping Gifts" to the Four Elementals by telling them everything they need to know."

"Do enlighten us then."

All stares switched to the tallest youngster in the room followed by the Air and Earth Elemental with the door lock busted by one of Bakura's thieving tricks.

Back to the lake where Yami was situated with Flare flying right beside him stood his younger 'twin' on the other side of the lake as Yugi squatted down to see reflection of his uneasy expression appearing on the water's surface. Just as Yami was about to step towards his comrade, a drag of his shirt collar paused his movements yet again.

Before Yami could say anything, the sound of splattering water reached his ears followed by a voice that he could have sworn sounded similar to that of a cherub's.

"What can I do? I tried finding the bracelet everywhere and it's driving me nuts!" Yugi wailed while splashing the water playfully. "Without the bracelet, it makes me harder to control myself."

'Huh? What is he talking about?' Thought Yami agitatedly as that could not be good news to his dear friend, Yugi. When his ruby eyes met contact with said item in his right fist, a flashback of Yugi and Yami in a waterfall incident came into his mind once more but this time, the boy with gleaming amethyst irises did an action Yami could never dreamed of and that same action was conducting right in front of his eyes now.

"Yami? When did you get here?" Yugi's frightened voice not only startled him but also exacerbated his temper as they met eye to eye with each other.

The one act that both saved his life and at present, made his life turned upside down.

"Y-Yugi, you're actually a…"

To Be Continued…

At long last, both Bakura's and Marik's reactions have been activated. Also, the moment you people have been waiting for…the story behind the 'incident' caused by The Elementals which is the core of this story will be revealed in the next chapter! I hope I could cramp all of these histories of The Elemental's past into one chapter but if not, then two would be good too. There are many more parts and arcs to go through so I don't want to prolong it anymore…*sighs* If you must know, there are three parts/arcs in total in this fan-fiction and after they all went back to the city, part 2 will begin. Yeah, it's kinda long but once again, I hope you enjoy this chapter and any questions please leave a comment! Love to receive more Faves/Alerts as usual and don't forget to REVIEW! Finally, Vote on the Poll in my profile as I'm thankful that I get more new votes but they're voted on other stories so the two fan-fics with the most votes are still close, please and thank you!
