Sorry for the late update. I had writers block, and my friends kinda taped me to a chair. Anyway, because I never mentioned it before, Hikaru's bandaged eye is red with a scar similar to Scar from Lion King…although that's irrelevant…enjoy this chapter and I apologize if this seems a little yaoi…sorry for the cliffhanger too, I'll try to update soon. R&R please.

(Hikaru's POV)

I sat up quickly, thanks to yet another nightmare.

"Hey brat! You shouldn't sit up like that! You'll hurt yourself!"

"Frau! Hikaru are you okay? You were crying in your sleep."

I noticed immediately that I had tears falling down my right cheek, and quickly wiped them away. I looked at Teito, then at Frau who was making faces behind Teito's back. Frau saw me staring, smiled, and ruffled my hair.

"I bet you're hungry. Let's go to the dining hall. Smells like they're already serving lunch."

Confused as to whether or not I should follow this guy, I turned to Teito. He saw my worried look and whispered,

"Don't mind him. I'm also surprised he's a bishop. Besides, you haven't eaten since we got here."

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Hm…After the kor attack…About three days."

What? I've been asleep that long? Including the time before that, we've been here for almost a week. No wonder Teito's so friendly with them.

I got up and went with Teito and Frau to the dining hall. Almost immediately, Teito and Frau were arguing with each other further ahead of me. I began to feel kind of lonely. Teito was having more fun with a complete stranger than with me. Then again, I was a stranger to him too.

"Hikaru, you look lonely. Are you okay?"

Labrador? How did he know?

"I'm fine. It's just…"

I glanced at Teito and Frau, and Labrador followed my gaze.

"Ah. Your friend has gotten close to Frau…You feel cheated in a way, don't you? Your friend has left you for a complete stranger that he barely met. Judging by the way you acted with the kor, you should be over there taking him back…So why aren't you?"

"It's…his life. I have no right to interfere. He can choose who his own friends, and I won't take that away from him."

"I see. You're a good friend…But is that really what you want to do?"

Once again, he knew. Labrador knew how much I wanted to run over there and take Teito back from Frau. But…is that what a friend would do?

(Teito's POV)

Frau had made fun of my height again, so we were arguing. I had completely forgotten about Hikaru. When I realized he wasn't with us, I glanced back and saw him talking with Labrador. For some reason, I felt a bit jealous. Hikaru never spoke to anyone until he met Mikage and me. Now he was speaking with someone he barely knew? Fine. If he's going to be that way, I'll just pretend he doesn't exist until he apologizes.

(Hikaru's POV)

I was surprised. After breakfast, any time I tried to get near Teito, he would walk away. I had no idea what I was supposed to do. So, I decided to go walk around the church's garden. I didn't know what else to do, and asked the flowers how I could fix this problem. After they didn't answer, I felt stupid. But then, I swear I must've gone crazy, because at that moment, the flowers spoke back to me.

"I think you should ignore him too. That's what he deserves."

"No way! That'll just make it worse! I think you should get to know Frau better so that you and your friend could get closer."

Crazy or not, they had some good ideas. I thanked them, which was odd, and headed back to where Teito was, by the fountain.

(Normal POV)

Behind Hikaru, the three fairies, that protect the church, popped out from behind the bushes.

"Hey, is it just me, or could that kid hear us?"

"Maybe. But if he did hear us, he might have been able to see us too. So it's a good thing we hid behind the flower bushes."

"True, but I bet you he thinks he's going crazy thinking that the flowers talked to him."

"Ahahah! That's gonna make me laugh all day!"

(Hikaru's POV)

I ran to the fountain to apologize to Teito, but he wasn't there. Slightly disappointed, I sat down on the side of the fountain and stared into the water. What I didn't expect, was another face staring back at me. I jumped up and started to fall backwards, but a scalely had reached out of the water, grabbed my clothes(that were on my bed this morning), and pulled me forward. Unfortunately, whoever it was, pulled me to hard and I fell into the fountain. As I fell in the abnormally deep water, I was reminded of the nightmare I had a few days ago. I was drowning…I looked up, and saw a woman swimming towards me, arms outstretched…

Ha…Of course…My mother would be the one to drown me….Sorry Teito…Looks like I won't be able to make up with you…

Then everything got dark…
