Chapter.2 = What?

That same evening at the Kamishiro's home, Ryouga and his sister Rio were in their respective rooms in the house. The twins used to share a room when they were younger, but they have split it up since they were middle class. You almost saw you built a room in the middle of your large room and added a wall there so that everyone had his or her riches on one side, but there were signs that they would have a connecting door to their rooms if they needed it. And in this case Shark was still awake in contrast to Rio who was already asleep.

Ryouga was standing by the window, fully dressed, looking grim but also with concern in the back of her mind. He had already noticed it before but ignored it because he thought this was his own imagination, but now he knows that it is no longer the case. He reached into his pocket and took out a pendant that was Yuma's, the Astral key. It was the fact that he saw the Astral pendant start to glow when they stopped at Akari earlier that afternoon. But it shouldn't be, any more than it started again now. He stretched it more towards the night sky so that the pendant remained more covered in the shine of the moon, but it made him happy with a blanket of astral blue color that wrapped around the key. It swayed back and forth from a faint to a strong blue, but the result remained the same. After that, the trailer was no longer shining, but instead a certain alarm sound streamed out that can be compared with a bell.

Ryouga sighed, he wasn't sure about that, but he couldn't do anything without knowing the reason for the trigger. Sighing, Shark put the trailer in the bedside table and went to sleep himself. But even in his dreams he got a surprising shock when he saw the blue spirit and then both stared at each other questioningly.

"Astral?"

"... Ryouga? Where is Yuma and why am I here?"

The next day, Yuma's friends went to school on their way and made a quick stop at Akari to make sure ... if Yuma was there. Akari said calmly that everything was fine and Yuma came home last night and his friend explained everything and so apologized to Yuma for the commotion - he also said that he would stay with him and probably take the time to let you know but don't have to worry, he also passed on that both of them have only just left. They had no choice whether what Akari said was true. Yuma had to be there but when did she mean by "friend" who wasn't one of them? After a while they entered the building and went into the classroom hoping to meet Yuma, but he wasn't there yet. They knew that Yuma was always late no matter how early he left home so they didn't really care when he came. In addition, someone should actually still be enrolled in their class today. With that you are already curious who this is who has been here before and who you could probably know. Apparently, according to the teacher, something was not working with the student's registration, so first it would be said that the student would not show up. But when at the end of the first lesson someone knocked on the class room door, the theory changed again.

In between, Shark noticed somewhere that the key flashed and began to glow under his uniform so the astral was there like last night. At the previous conversation in the evening, which had only ended a few hours ago, they could not find an answer because legitimate questions came up first. However, according to even the most logical conclusions, there were loopholes that did not fit through the system. What they knew was the astral itself is still in the astral world, but his mind is still chained to the key and he can therefore exist between the two worlds when he is needed or at least the key allows it. They had also agreed that it would be sensible to first investigate what the alarming pulse has ended from time to time flowing out of the key. Astral valued the school and learning but his curiosity sometimes overcomes the act that leads him to use the lesson to clarify everything else between the two. Shark ended his conversation with Astral before someone dodged himself into talking to himself and he didn't want to. The knock then made Astral decide to go back to reconsider a few things besides the desire to talk to his partner. He stopped walking back when a wave of negative energy reached him aurahaft. This drew confusion in him, but not only in him, who apparently Shark had noticed as well. Both looked at each other questioningly and then they looked at the other Barians briefly, the slight comments on it also have to notice. One thing was clear, there was an unease on all of their faces.

There was a knock on the door but before the teacher could come in or yes please or just open the door, the door broke open in seconds and let someone stumble over the threshold. It brought the class a light laugh together with giggles and a pleased smile from his friends even Astral was there. But a second face also appeared afterwards which, when looking at it, made some people freeze. The person behind Yuma stood there and just said very sakastically "Wow that is what you meant by punctuality, ohhhh I really have to learn something from you Yuma-kun!" The teacher introduced the boy next to Yuma, who was helping Yuma up, and said that he was the new classmate. All of Yuma's friends start out with a shocked look at.

The boy had also turned his gaze towards the class, but his eyes were mainly on the former Barians. The look was so cold that it could destroy it. When Yuma also briefly introduced him and mentioned his name, the others only saw the light of horror. Everyone was inwardly shocked in many ways and couldn't break anything out of themselves, so only one thing remained. They all only thought of one "VECTOR!".

Yuma sat in his standing place as he always did next to Tori. Vector was allowed to sit down wherever he wanted, at least the teacher told him in an intimidated way.

It was immediately after the break and they still did not notice in the subconscious that Vector suddenly appeared in the school and Yuma apparently was the only one who knew about it. That would also explain the behavior of the teachers to them and partly because they were fundamentally afraid of Vector and that precisely because he was a sadist and messed with everyone, he also had no respect for adults, he had always intimidated everyone in his own way for so long it satisfies him and it helps him further. But when they saw Yuma smiling happily next to Vector, they began to feel even more uncomfortable with the current situation. So they decided to follow them for a while and then at the right moment to ask what was going on. Vector decided to sit next to Yuma on the opposite side from which Tori always sits. What Tori heard relatively well but bothered her a bit, but she didn't know exactly what it was.

In the further course of the lesson, Yuma had slept most of the time in the hours that Vector always covered without getting penalty. In the other case, when Vector did some school nonsense during the class and tried to involve others, Yuma always protected him. But when the last lesson broke at the end of the day, both of them nodded off and even when the teacher saw it, he wanted to say something, punish them, but couldn't when he remembered the rules that the teachers received. So what the teacher stopped abruptly and turned around to continue working. And some didn't like that fact. They didn't like the free driving license that their former enemy has already acquired.

After the end of class, all of the high school students were gathered around Vector's place and they shamefully bombed him with questions and other things. Vector himself couldn't stand this but still did his best to hold up ... for now. He did his best to endure this no matter whether the tough guys talked about his favorite subject like annoying and destroying others or when the girls talked about fluffy stuff, he wanted to throw up and send everyone to hell but he pulled himself together as best he could could and that on Rei Shingetsu variant, the good part of his being. His head turned away from the crowd in the direction of Yuma's friends and the other former Barians who were still sitting there. A grin formed on his left as he took in everyone's facial features. He just loved to hurt this friendship gang, that always made him happy.

Above all, there was one person he couldn't stand, probably two in this case. The fun thing for him was that he had noticed the good aura around his former mitbarian, whom he had despised above all else. His smile never left his face. He looked next to Yuma who was still lying there with his head and was sleeping relatively soundly. Oh yes, he would make his fun of it and play around with everyone's mind that he and Yuma are connected to. He would annihilate his Barian enemy and his Astral enemy that was for sure. He couldn't do it alone, it would take too long, but he wasn't alone, he had someone. ´Hmmmmm ... I wonder if Astral has already arrived? ´ Yes, he felt Astrals or at least the bright aura of this being and could thus determine whether he is present but he did not see him. He turned back to the other classmates for whom he personally swept no interest. It seemed like Vector's nice page would be well received, again, but this should end soon and his hope to meet the popularity that is ruled by pure fear in the people should come soon. Until then he remains Rei, but if he goes to Vector again, everything goes off. And he's looking forward to it.

Vector stood up from his seat laughing, waving his hands to symbolize an apology, and left the class to go outside. He pretended to have to go to the loo, but secretly he knew that Ryouga would follow him with so many others. Tori had been quiet, silent and thoughtful in her seat the whole time and had seen everything with her own eyes. She still didn't know what to make of it. However, she continued to be a good friend of Yuma. Sighing, she woke Yuma because Vector probably wouldn't do it anymore, maybe he wouldn't do it one way or the other?

Shark felt a sense of hatred and disgust when he saw the charade in the classroom that had played out. He himself also noticed the restless feeling that astral radiated, they both were restless. He frowned at the urge to pull Vector on his side and confront him. This would suit not only him but also the astral being and even the other barians. He followed him.

In the end, Tori woke Yuma up as soon as she saw that all the others had stepped outside, then she told him, when he reacted, that the others have already left and that he is the only one there, maybe if he is lucky he will still make it to the others. Yuma got up, packed up his stuff and went to the class door, where Vector was waiting just as he said it was. After a bit of talk they both walked away - laughing - without looking back to take away Tori's cramped face.

Tori followed them and ran over after them and asked if he, Yuma, would like to keep them company up on the roof as he often does. Vector Personal had something against it and got involved and insisted on coming along. With him, this type of behavior had several reasons, but the time to reveal it was not the right time. This time he saw the girl grimace. While she didn't seem to like that, he enjoyed it all the more. But when Yuma agreed to Vector and also insisted that she should all give it a chance and that it wasn't that bad, she resigned but was at least glad that her friend was happy and not hurt. She said that she would go ahead but only for the reason to warn the others so that they would not freak out as soon as they saw Vector. Tori turned to walk away but unfortunately missed Vector's dark and amused grin.

-above-

Everyone on the roof wasn't happy to hear that Mad Prince was going to enter as well. What is he doing here? What's behind this guy again? When Tori mentioned that she was joining Yuma to be there, everyone was happy but when you came out with the part with Vector, the mood fell again. "Why does this idiot keep Vector, after all, he's no longer Rei so there shouldn't be any reason to join the guy!" Alit testified aloud. Something that everyone was questioning, as Yuma was injured and deceived by him first hand.

One could assume that the two were together the whole time during their disappearance and their return to earth. But surely there was something lurking behind it, no matter whether in class, in the breaks or in the free time, it would have kept its role, as he did before. Nobody would come up to them then, not even Tori or Cathy would have a successful conversation with Yuma because no matter what it was about or wherever they were, Vector was always in the way. You could intervene and try to break it, but Vector always had everything so well in hand that it would be almost impossible. It is not even possible to start a conversation with Yuma, whereupon he always grabbed Yuma and walked away grinning. Which they didn't feel comfortable with. After the chance that Vector had made it upstairs alone without Yuma, they used that moment to speak to Vector because they were fed up with Vector. It was only for a few hours, but even that is enough for him.

Rei went smiling towards the roof platform where Yuma's friends met there and where all the others were where he wanted to play jokes. He opened the door. His grin grew at the others disregarding her. They looked at him with restricted arms as he stood alone and the group in front of him looked at him as if he were a spent time.

"Vector!" said Ryouga accusingly.

"Well, who do we have there if it's not the Barians together with the stupid Earthlings! How surprising to meet everyone up here at the same time!"

Ryouga's mood would be tense, "Were you expecting someone else?"

Vector ignores him in this tone and continues "Not really, I could already guess that you wanted to attack me." He still admitted grinning.

Ryouga "Oh yes? And how?" he raised an eyebrow.

Ryouga went on pissed off "Oh? Since when that? Since when do you call someone a friend?"

"Ohh don't you like to call me a friend or do you want to be my enemy again, hmmm, I wouldn't have a problem with that, you know!" okay now the grin had grown incredibly big with a bit of playfulness.

"We know it suits your crazy mind to torment us, barian or human, and it doesn't matter if you have plans or not nobody will trust you since the latter, so you are and you will still be our enemy even if we do are not in the Barian world and that is all over. " Durb records harshly and clearly.

Vector filled with excitement "Really, what are you so sure about something I should do?

Ryouga replied, "You manipulate others and you hate fun when other people are doing badly, isn't that enough for you? Besides, you would never change yourself Vector!"

"And when I do I don't need you, and besides, humans don't either. They also take advantage of others to get what they want and end up throwing them away when they no longer need them. Haven't you done that before? " he gestured plaintively.

Ryouga defended himself on behalf of everyone to whom this referred: "We have never done anything like this, after all, we are not like you, so save yourself your allegations!"

Vector was still grinning and leaning forward with his hands folded on his back. "Oh, I see that somehow differently ... Well, if it's just reproaches, then I'll go ... for now! Besides, we'll see each other at Kaito anyway ... or do you mind"

Ryouga frowned now "How do you know? We didn't tell you unless ...

"Well, I wouldn't mind if Vector came along!" Ryo confessed

Ryouga was surprised at what his sister said, "Rio why?"

Rio turned to her optimistic side to defy her brother. "Why not? It can be fun"

Her blond fellow ex-Barian Misael said, "With this arrogance, everything can only end in disaster"

Vector pretended to be innocent with his voice as he always did as Rei "Ohhhhh, you just don't trust me enough * sniff * that hurts * sniff *" "Apparently you are the ones who do everything bad and pull it into the negative , you could at least have given me a chance like Yuma did, your words are very hurtful you know ?! " His acting looked very real but nobody falls for it anymore, they had learned their lesson.

"You have to ascribe that to yourself that nobody does that anymore!" so Durbe

"Besides, you don't deserve a second chance," said Mizael

"No matter what you do, but you will not be invited," Ryouga admitted again to her hated not friend.

"Hmmmm ... we'll see that soon," he said, Vector, with an insane grin on his face that now looked very scary. With this almost fatal grin, everyone got a shiver down their backs. That was a very typical vector grin, but it also radiated something different from crazines. So if Vector knew it, he didn't interrupt Shark when he was attacking him again. Vector said nothing more, so only he knew that the door to them opened and yuma stepped in and not towards Shark. As soon as Yuma reached the top of the building, he opened the door and joined Vector and Ryouga. Not to forget to mention that he couldn't grasp the inappropriate mood and, if so, didn't understand why it was like that.

"Hey guys, what's going on here" Yuma smiled happily to herself "what do you all look so tense?" he asked into the air without saying to anyone in particular "Hey Rei, could you take care of your own business next time? I mean yes I offered to help you out, but I didn't mean it!" now he pouted to himself. Which in turn made Vector / Rei smile; but only slightly. Vector was so in his mind that if he devoted himself to Yuma he would be looked at by others with disregard. 'How pathetic do they have anything better to do? But well, I can start right here! '

"Oh, there you are at last, I've been waiting for you the whole time. But it took you a long time to bring my things. You know-" He had put himself on Yuma and let the others off and on. He looked at Yuma's hands carrying his stowed school documents. While he is in his bowed pose, he moved towards Yuma. "- you really leave a lot to be desired when it comes to agreements and the agreed time is Yuma-kun!" Vector smiled at him, pleased at the reaction. His right arm swings around Yuma's upper body but so that Vector has a firm grip around him. His face was beaming, a typical Rei face, in the direction of Yuma and then he also gave one to the other just that this one was more crooked than that of vector. Then he clutched Yumas's hand with his other hand and pulled him even closer. The position could be compared to that of a tango dance by leading the woman, the left arms stretched out and hugging each other on the right, only that their posture was not opposite you but vector slightly crooked and Yuma was standing straight to him but more pulled to the side became.

What everyone except Yuma noticed was that Vector carried a sharp and dangerous knife in his scabbard and this was in keeping with his devilish grin that he wore but still didn't really appeal to the others, well almost all of them. This made everyone pause for a second, so in this position it would be very dangerous with him. But since this was at the point where his body was rather behind, there was no problem with injuries, but still you are on the lookout for the crazy one. Ryouga frowned and wanted to say something but he couldn't because a) he noticed Astral again next to him and saw that he was looking at him quasi asking to explain this and b) it was too late and Vector was about to leave and otherwise he would only fall on deaf ears.

"Yuma" Ryouga heard someone say, but it was clear that no one else heard him except him! 'Oh Astral'

Vector had dragged Yuma with him and was spending more hours with him so that no one else had a chance to approach them. The others weren't exactly fond of it. Vector stayed at a distance from the others the whole time with Yuma in tow, the only ones who were sometimes seen with both of them were still Rio and Tori but otherwise that was it.

After a while of the rest of the day, however, many of them received strange looks from the other classmates. They were also asked to go to the director. They didn't know why or what happened, but they all got accusations and were sentenced to prison. Vector was guilty of what they assumed. Which brought another resentment in the gang.

They still haven't been thrilled about Yuma's and Vector's "relationship" lately, as well as the fact that Rio was stuck with him. As soon as they decided on the next opportunity, they stepped closer to them and wanted to express their opinion.

Vector noticed her from behind and was grinning slightly. They accused Vector that it was his fault and that he did it specifically to avoid them. But he didn't really understand what they meant because he was with Yuma, Rio and partly Tori the whole time. Rio went against her brother and his great pride "What's that Ryouga, what's wrong with Vector, he didn't do anything wrong!" Tori agrees, "Yeah, how could he do anything else without us noticing something, we should have noticed something."

Durbe doubted it for that "He's probably just fooling you, he must have planned everything in advance ..." He spoke softly, almost in a whisper. Tori the good soul she thinks after all that had happened still not Vector but sometimes she also believes in him the good "Do you have any evidence that it was him?"

Ryouga assisted Durbe "Do you really need proof that it was him?" Rio opposed it but more comfortably "He has changed, but take it or not take it and believe him or not believe him! But what is the point of despising him further?" But Ryouga persisted, "Vector is said to have changed? As if I don't believe him and I never will!" "Don't trust me then, that's your problem then ... Have a bite!"

The next day at school, Yuma and Vector had already missed the first few lessons, just like the previous few days. Yuma sat next to Tori for the whole hour, head bowed, half asleep, begging not to fall asleep. The same was true on Tori's other side, where this time the Barian sat lying flat like Yuma. But that didn't mean anything. Vector was bored of everything and did what he wanted. After class, Tori woke them up. Everyone wanted to meet again on the roof platform and this time she only asked Yuma, without Vector in the rear car. She saw how the others felt about it and shared their concerns, but for the few times she hung out with Vector and Yuma rum, if only briefly, she could say that it was strange but not exactly good or bad either. Yes, she trusted the Yuma but not Vector, she does it because she stands by Yuma and keeps his judgment even when it is mostly the wrong decisions. And as far as Rio is concerned, she also trusted after all she is a good friend to her and that even that she is or was a barian.

As they slowly began to move, Tori positioned herself more straight and asked her question. She didn't know whether the two half-limp corpses were listening to her or so but apparently they were. Vector was the first to move his head and start at you with dangerously narrowed eyes. With this intense look, Tori had to swallow her now appearing nervousness. But he didn't do more than that. Then Yuma's head came up too, only that he looked even more capricious than the other. Tori was sent a gentle smile when he replied with a question that included whether Rei could be there too. Whose head was guiltily played with bowed as well as headache on the table. And also because he knew that everyone had something against him, he would draw attention from the hearts of the weak. Tori understood Yuma to a certain extent, because it seemed that Rei always tried to be nice to Yuma, he mainly had something against the others. Tori sigh, she had to tell the others, otherwise it won't work. I'm sorry Shark Yuma nodded with a beaming smile on his face when Tori gave him a nod in agreement that it was okay. But not only had this pleased him, they missed Vectors grin behind them as they were walking a bit in front of him.

After a while, Shark and the Barians sat with Rio and Tori at the other end of the rooftop platform. Keeping your eyes on the door so as not to miss how Yuma and Rei arrived and slowly sat down next to each other on the opposite side of the other railing. And that with her head slightly bowed whose hands she held in front of a headache. Without Mux, they all looked at the two of them with a skeptical look. Tori and Rio were the only ones who didn't bother with Yuma and Rei, the rest, on the other hand, weren't exactly enthusiastic and couldn't quite understand it either. Shark looked in silence at the key that hung around his neck and was hidden from others. He noticed that the key no longer has the same aura as before there was something else, besides the bright light there was also negative energy at work. He frowned before looking back. Something is wrong here I can feel that Something came into his head and wanted to get up to ask Yuma something but Tori and Rio got ahead of him.

Rio asked intusiastically, "So is everything settled for tonight?"

Yuma smiled at her despite the pain in her skull. "Looks like it" "Yes, we can still postpone the rest until later!" said Vector happily

Yuma sighed annoyed "Oh come on, this is my room, what's next ?! So what's next ... a pool table maybe?" Rei would have the best remedy he has against the red-black head "Hey Akari allowed me to stow my things there, what should I do about it, just say no? I didn't mean to be rude, no!"

Yuma whined like he sometimes did lately "But what about my things ?!" Rei the smug of the two crossed his arms and simply said without itching "Haaa that's very easy, I'll throw them away!" Yuma's whining quickly turned into annoyance "Haaaaa you can't do that, you already own half of everything and I won't give the rest of my things!" "And who cares, if you are of that opinion then I'll just tear the separation of the attic and your room out and there will be enough space!" said Rei simply and indifferently. Yuma sighed "Oh come on, don't do this one, it'll just cause you trouble."

"Ha dan it should come from me, I'm not afraid of her, this dragon, if already then I'll bend her violin and not the other way around." Rei's serious tone spoke volumes. However, Yuma knew where this would end.

He knew his sister well and judged what she would do if Vector did this, but he also knew Rei pretty well to be able to say that he won't mind that and can bring out his demonic side himself. He sighed, "I think it's best not to underestimate Akari. And if so, I still won't give my things!"Ryouga's eye began to twitch just from listening to it, 'I can't take it, but ... how does Rio manage that?' He listened the whole time but didn't understand the context. "OwO would you mind if I stopped by Yuma later?" Only then did his head snap up in connection with an idea. "Hey, would it be okay if I came along?" Ryouga asked his sister in connection with her question to cover up the reason for his coming.

"Yeah sure that'll be cool, no, Rei!" Yuma's zeal never let anyone down. "Ohhhh Naschy wants to come all of a sudden heeeee then it will be even more fun with a Kamishiro!" said Vector, almost mockingly.

Ryouga raised an eyebrow "Wait, does that mean you're okay with this, Vector?"

Rei's sadistic smile returned "Ohhh of course I am the naschi, you know all of Yuma's friends are also my friends or don't you say that ?! And on the other hand I have nothing better to do anyway so ... be my presence so sure! Or does that bother you? "

"N - no not at all ... I was just ... a bit surprised because you at first ... well ..." That was a difficult topic that you wanted to avoid in the original since everyone was alive again. But now that the crazy Prince arrives again, they could remove the make-up. And the one who was actually injured in the end were the Barian Emperor, Astral, also Vector as a vessel of the Barian God and the worst thing was Yuma. Only this did not matter to him Vector / Rei.

"Hmmmm because we were something, you mean enemies, not was!" you could only hear the smugness sprouting out of him. "Oh, that's yesterday's news, I mean, yes, I killed all people in my previous life, then traded with the bad guys when they were born again, exercised vengeance, lied, feigned, cheated and what else do I know I did that wasn't !? But Now that there is nothing left to do these things that can be of use to me, what else should I do in your opinion except to build on you or rather one of you ?! " his grin came back quickly with the intention that this was especially true for everyone except Yuma and maybe Rio. He really wanted to hit the Barians, oh how much he loved knocking them down, that filled him with joy. And his next words underlined several facts of the levels. "Besides, Yuma, after all that shooting, a good friend is now even my ... best friend ... wasn't ... Yuma-kun!" Rei said with an even wilder grin on her face and pulled Yuma close to her, away from the others and so that this time they were chest to chest and hand in hand while Reis head was slightly bent towards the others. Vector quickly looked at the key Shark had and looked back at Yuma, whom he was trying to steal. One reason was because he hated Astral and wanted to own Yuma for himself. For certain reasons that he did not want to reveal. Vector enjoyed it as long as it was the case with Yuma. His plan worked. In every way he was connected to them by keeping him away from the others, which the gang quickly became too much. Vector quickly held his hand and said we still have work to do and pulled Yuma with him. While Rei and Yuma went to the door, Rei turned his head back and looked at her spitefully with a mocking expression on her face. They didn't like what Vector was doing. Especially astral and. Ryouga felt wrong to them.

In the meantime it was already afternoon and some were about to leave when they noticed that the spaceship was flying overhead and therefore turned in that direction. The hatch opened slowly as Kaito brought the ship ashore. Kaito stood at the entrance of the ship and looked at her. He said he was looking for her. The hatch opened so that it too docked on land. The group of friends looked at each other in silence and went inside.

Everyone positioned themselves inside and talked about a lot of things, but Kaito wasn't interested. Slowly he began to get closer to why he had actually called everyone here. He began by asking her if she had noticed anything strange about Hartland City. They told him some specific things, but none of them meant anything to him. Her attention quickly returned to the subject she was originally interested in. As they tried to react slowly, a voice interrupted the conversation.

"What do you mean by Vector is back?" asked Kaito.

Mizael snorted and said, "It was only a matter of time before this came, after all, he is just as humanly reborn as we are, and for the third and last time for all of us!"

"When I think about it now, I kind of think that something about it seems illogical to me!"

"What do you mean, Durbe?"

"Well, Alit, let's see it this way; when he found out that Vector was only used as a vessel for Don thousand to achieve his own goal and died voluntarily through self-sacrifice to prevent this, why is he still alive !? That makes no sense, nothing is powerful enough to grant someone another life and or to allow them to continue except a god, a ruler of a really high rank maybe and or a qualified astral being, which can only rarely be the case An example of this would be Astral who could do this but it was not logical! "

A little further back stood Ryouga who had withdrawn in the whole commotion to accept the blue ghost to appear. The two had climbed up their very own theory on the subject. But they always listened to the other questions. Ryouga didn't look at him closely because he knows it would look weird to talk to the air allotted to him as they knew it from before. But that doesn't stop them from communicating anyway.

"Yes, but Rio doesn't believe that Vector is taking advantage of him for selfish things, but that he tried to befriend him because Yuma was the first to stay with him and was the only one who saw him as a friend and not as an enemy or crazy prince or smoking-addicted barian! "

Hmmmm see ... I don't think this will be an easy thing!"

"Wherever this may lead, I don't have a good feeling about it!"

"Yeah we'd better watch out for a while"

"Do you think we should let the others know about it, the thing that you are back, so to speak?"

"I do not know ..."

Ryouga fumbled with the golden Astral key while walking back to the center, almost missing kicking someone. It was Alit he almost crashed into if his instincts didn't exist this time. Astral had decided to be out of prison this time to study the area as he often did before. His attention was focused on the large monitor of the ship, which he was familiar with, and the many open documents and books you know innumerable hostels. For him that was the most interesting thing in the galaxy, the exploration of the unknown around the universe.

t wasn't until late in the evening that Kaito flew them all back to the ground. And with the word late it meant really late this time. They would have estimated their time on board only for a few hours to several minutes, but in terms of earthly we flew by in no time. Also, since it's been an estimated 6 hours since you arrived on the spaceship and it's now midnight, you only have a few hours until class. You could say that it would have been better to postpone the whole commotion to the day on which the weekend comes, from then on you don't care a lot. and since they are preparing for school today everyone has to have them as quickly as possible and face the chaos of the next day with open eyes. In the hope that nothing more chaotic will happen that night or that something will start to happen, every barian begins to walk his way back to his accommodation. The Kamishiro twins were the last to walk on their path.

"Hey Ryouga ..."

"Hmm what is"

"You know ... you don't have to hide anything from me, besides I know you too well to be able to say that you do anything at all!"

Ryouga stopped short and raised an eyebrow. "What? What do you mean, I'm not hiding anything!"

"I know, but one of you remains unsaid ... but I understand that you don't want to say anything to any of us, I'm completely with you, it would be like an alarm system for the others if they find out that the Astral key is inhabited again, no! " she beamed in her face because she knew that she had reached her brother who just looks in front of him in disbelief.

"Rio but how ..."

"You know earlier when you withdrew there you geyumat yourself!"

"Ge ... what ... wat?"

"Geyumat ... by that I mean that you did the same thing as before Yuma always did it, with the addition that I had filled the astral aura at this point, which was extremely strong in your direction. So yes I know the astral is here, I can feel it too, but I don't think I can see it! "

"The cat will be out of the bag then, but what about the others, do you already know what about it?"

"I don't think they will, I'm not sure, but before everyone seemed too distracted to notice things outside!"

Ryouga sighed before commanding his legs to keep moving to go home with Rio fighting with him. He considered a few things from today and the stuff they'd been dealing with in the past few hours. He could clearly say that the astral spirit was just as absorbed as it was, only viewed on a different plane. Exactly he couldn't clear his head from the subject, it almost haunted him. Then when he thought of his sister again, doubts would arise 'Why am I thinking about it so intensely ... damn it!'

"Just that you know, but I'll never buy it from him"

"I know"

They were now standing at their front door to the apartment, reached for it and opened the door to go inside. In the direction of their two rooms they saw that the key lit up gold and a slightly blurred figure appeared for Rio, whose aura shines like the sun. Also known as the Astral being. However, for Ryouga it seemed quite smoothly visible.

"It's nice to see you again Rio," said the astral being sincerely. "If I may ask, because of the words from earlier, how did you come to the decision that Vector is different now and that he really means it?"

Yes, Rio could only assume that Astral was there, but as long as she heard him at least it was okay. She took another breath to consider how best to answer. "Well, to put it simply: I don't think there's anything behind it or that Vector delivers a charade. And to be honest, if it's true that they get along well without quarrels and arguments and still take the effort of moving, I think that it's okay. After all, who wants if you don't get along well with someone but still want to move in with them? And this also applies to Yuma!"

Astral now frowned confused and skeptical "What do you mean by contracting ?!"

"Oh, well, the thing is that Rei has been moving in with Yuma for a couple of weeks!"

Ryouga softly whispered, "So that was why you left so early recently"

"You could say that, yes!"

"And who knew all about it"

"Well as it is, just me, Tori and Akari. Yuma said that you wouldn't understand it anyway if he or we mentioned something about it."

"Yes, but only because of what Vector has done before!"

"than just overlooked this for the first time. Nobody says he has to be forgiven, but in the end he deserves it as we do, and that's what Yuma does." This silenced her brother, but the being wasn't yet.

Astral now asked more curiously about "How long has it been going on with Vector and Yuma?"

"What that can't be serious, you don't know that Vector is our enemy"

Rio sighed "About since we were back on earth and you went back to the astral world ... I guess ..."

"I think nobody knows this part"

Rio looked at the creature questioningly with curiosity in her facial features "Yuma still had the Ou Key, did you not have the opportunity to use it as a communicator to talk to Yuma? I thought as soon as you meet again he would tell you about it."

"No, he didn't, I wanted to have a conversation with him when I told him, but after a try or two it felt like Yuma couldn't take me anymore, almost as if the bond between us was disturbed by something will!" admitted the blue ghost being hurt, hurt by the fact that something was wrong.

"Really, but how could that have happened?"

"I dont know"

On the same evening at the same time in another place that was the Tsukumo household, a boy was sitting in the attic of the house in his favorite place in this room: the hammock. His legs hung over the cords, supported himself lightly with one hand, and looked out the window in the direction of the stars. A little later, Rei came into the room with some of his things and saw Yuma lying in the hammock with an unhappy expression, still looking out.

He tossed the stuff aside and joined him. He stopped next to it and turned once to the side to the next table to reach into one of the drawers to get what he often carried with him when they returned, and for several reasons. His hand picked it up and as soon as the object was inside he clenched his hand and let it rest close to his torso.

After a few seconds he pulled his hand away and put the fragment around his neck with the chain that was already there. All he had to do was bandage them. Fortunately, his black jacket would hide this well. He didn't really like people's stupid school uniforms, which is why he had already taken remedial action. The thing was just that it was too dangerous to leave it unattended or in general when someone saw it. Above all, this applies to the stupid friendship course. He sighed and looked at Yuma. Rei stood next to him on the hammock and tried to cheer him up. He was lying close to him, their respective bodies only millimeters apart. Rei sighed and pulled the silent teenager into his arms. He had to smile himself, it kind of made his heart warm if he always did this and what Vector has been doing a lot lately. It filled his heart with warmth and, under certain circumstances, with cunning. However, both sides enjoyed this and clung to each other. The warmth was calming and comforting for Yuma, he needed it, he just needed this warm something that he had always felt when ... when ... he couldn't remember but that was something that he couldn't even think about before to have and yet it was so well known. His eyes fluttered shut with tiredness and slowly began to fall asleep, but he missed Rei's whispered words to him, which were embellished in a sincere smile. "Don't worry, I'm always there for you, no matter what, it wasn't Acrus" Rei also let herself go in his grip and melted contentedly into the embrace of Yuma as well.

Now that the room was shrouded in darkness without having to deal with the moving people who would stain the shadows, there were still the few rays of moonlight that gave it a good contrast. The amazing thing was that something glowed that irradiated the room conditionally. The color sometimes looked creepier and more evil. The golden one that appeared first turned around quickly with a beam awakened from darkness and the color thus changed to black smoke. The shadows ring around the room and are entwined on every imaginable level. They were like tentacles that only had a certain range to exist. The figure that it belonged to was easy to miss, but not only because it is a ghost-like being but also because its colors appear like the shadow itself apart from the few colored markings on its body. The posed grinned wildly around before it disappeared, the light stopped and the room looked normal again as if nothing had happened. Nothing but two peaceful looking guys who shared their joy and happiness that evening.
