"Hey, hey, hey," Hideyos.h.i.+ called out the others."What"s wrong?" Mamoru asked.
"Have you noticed?"
"Noticed what?"
"Those two, ever since we started planning yesterday for the day and then even during our sparring today, you didn"t notice?" pointing at Eureka and Raven using his mouth.
"I did, I thought it"s just me," Karen replied.
"Yes I felt something was off," Mamoru answered as well.
"Yeah, what happened the other day?" Azusa asked in return.
"Didn"t he just sent her home? What could have happened?" Feena asked as well.
"Wait, wait. What are you guys talking about? Is something wrong with them? I didn"t notice anything," Theo asked looking at all of them.
The five of them could only sigh, he really is a bit slow at things.
"They"re a bit distancing from each other," it was Mamoru who replied.
"But they barely talk with each other right?" Theo asked once again.
"Yes barely but not entirely, both of them are too serious but when it comes to meetings and sparring, the two of them would always be talking."
"Then maybe they"re just not in the mood for today?" Theo once again asked.
"You really were only trained to battle aren"t you, you never even tried to a.s.sociate with others back in Archic other than those friends of yours?" Azusa couldn"t help but ask seeing his innocent look while asking.
"I"m not fond of it?" Theo answered, he truly didn"t really like a.s.sociating so much. He only started doing so while he is here, since all of them are friendly enough.
"*sigh* We are saying that not even once today did those two had eye contact or even looked at the direction of each other. That is suspicious enough, especially during formal gatherings where their wavelengths are on the same line," Azusa explained.
"Then did something happen to them?" Theo asked them.
They all stared at him before Hideyos.h.i.+ answered, "Brother, isn"t that what we were wondering a while ago? We really couldn"t answer your question now can we?"
"Going back to the topic, let"s go to Raven," Karen then said seeing how Raven was finally alone.
"Raven," Raven heard Mamoru calling for him, looking back and seeing how they look at him he couldn"t help but sigh. He already knows what this people would be asking.
In reality, they were able to nonchalantly say goodbye with each other the other day, but when they met again yesterday, he had felt a little awkward remembering that they actually shared a bed while holding each others hand for a whole night. Even they who had always been serious and focuses more on their duties would feel embarra.s.sed or awkward about such thing.
"What do you need?" he asked as he turned to look at them.
"So what happened?" of course, it was Hideyos.h.i.+ who have asked the question in their minds.
"I wonder what you are talking about," he replied walking towards his things.
"Now now, don"t hide it. It"s pretty obvious that something happened between the two of you," Karen teased this time.
Raven didn"t reply, instead he quietly fixed his stuffs.
"So something did happen, between you and Eureka," Mamoru commented seeing his silence.
Raven have always been like this, he would answer questions. But if it is something he didn"t want others to know he"ll never reply, he"d stay quiet.
"So what really happened after you brought Eureka home yesterday?" Feena was the one who asked this time.
"Wait, Raven brought Eureka home? When did that happen?" Theo interrupted this time.
The five of them looked at him dumbfounded, "Later on, I will tell you everything, okay? For now lets focus on the matter at hand," Mamoru explained to him.
Theo, who always walks around Archic Kingdom without a care to his surroundings, could only oblige quietly.
He was not dumb, but if its something outside of strategizing, he really is very slow to it. Especially of those emotional developments and such.
Raven, on the other hand, remained quiet and walked away from them.
"Seriously, what happened? We"re really dying to know in here," Karen persisted as all of them followed him.
"If you have nothing else to do, why don"t you continue your ability training? Are you relaxing now? You are given a chance to improve, will you be wasting that with some nonsensical matters?" Raven instead said as he looked at them seriously, he is so serious that tells them to shut up and don"t ask me anything or I"ll beat you up to a pulp.
All five of them raised their hands, they haven"t seen him like this in a while. Theo was even more confused at their reactions though he did feel that the atmosphere surrounding them suddenly dropped in temperature.

They then could only watch Raven as he left from the training area.
"Yup something really happened," Hideyos.h.i.+ commented.
"That"s right, something did happen," Mamoru added.
"Now I"m really curious," Karen said as well.
Azusa and Feena nodded their heads in unison.
"Now, I"m really jealous of you guys," Theo commented looking at them.
The other five looked at him curiously.
"I had comapanions back in Archic, but I have no bonds with them. Watching you guys, it truly makes me jealous. You guys understand each other even without words. Which shows how you all know each other quite well," Theo sighed, staying with them made him realize how he never did make a bond with anyone from his kingdom.
The other five could only watch him, they have no idea he had this side. Theo feeling the change in the mood spoke up once again.
"Ah, I just remembered that I have my training with Eureka, you do know that we have quite a strict trainer. I should really go now," he then waved them goodbye.
"The-" Mamoru tried to call him but decided not to do so.
"Azusa?" he then looked at Azusa.
"Hmmm?"
"Who is he then?"
"Eh?"
Mamoru looked at her implying something. Realizing what he means.
"Geez shouldn"t you be asking this on a different place?" Azusa said.
"Sorry it just suddenly came to my mind, I"ll just ask it in a more quiet place."
"Quiet places could be dangerous as well, it should be in a more secret place."
"Uhmm you two?" Feena interrupted.
"You seemed like you"re talking about something else right now though," Karen added.
The two of them thought back. "Quiet", "Secret", when it comes to lovers it feels like a talk about their secret endeavors.
Realizing this, they ended up blus.h.i.+ng so hard, "What the h.e.l.l are you thinking?!?" the two of them said in unison.
"Chill down, it was you guys who were talking in the first place, we just couldn"t help but to interfere, we have no desire of listening any further," Hideyos.h.i.+ said.
"I was asking about Theo remember," Mamoru said trying to shake off his embarra.s.sment.
"Yes, yes we understand. Now shall we go to a different place?" Feena said.
In the end they decided to go to their usual place when they train, the lake.
After Eureka had been kidnapped from this place, and kaoru returned to their side, he had improved the seal barrier around this place knowing how these guys loves going and training near it.
"So who was Theo? Lady Kara is Queen Haruka. I don"t think that just a simple knight would accompany her in coming here," Mamoru asked again.
"Prince Theo of Archic Kingdom," Azusa replied.
"Prince Theo? You mean the prince?" Karen asked once again.
"Indeed, the prince."
"His name was not unique so we never thought that that would be his t.i.tle."
"No wonder he carries himself in a different way, the air around him suggests that he is not just a simple knight," Hideyos.h.i.+ said.
"Then that answers it, he had been brought up as a royal and not as a knight. We were brought up as knights. His surroundings and environment is completely different than ours," Mamoru commented.
"Then why is he here? And as a knight," Feena questioned.
"He wanted to train so he went ahead without asking for his father"s permission."
"And maybe to see the outside world as well."
"Being a royal is really difficult isn"t it?"
"Indeed, you have a lot of rules that you should follow after all."
They all kept quiet thinking on their own.
*****
"If you have no desire of training, we can just stop this," Eureka said.
Theo have missed more than what he hit.
"I"m sorry, I"ll concentrate now."
"You can"t, no matter how much you try. Your mind is not in here after all."
"*sighs* Friends.h.i.+p is a nice thing isn"t it?"
"..."
"Maybe not for you, but for me it is something I truly desire. I was born a royal so those who befriends me are n.o.bles but they certainly have ulterior motives in doing so. Those knights couldn"t completely befriend me since I have such a t.i.tle. Seriously its kind of lonely."
"..."
"But seeing those six, I truly envy them. They can banter all they want, they can laugh all they want. They can do it, without reserve."
"..."
"They even understand each other well."
"Not entirely," Eureka finally replied.
"What do you mean?"
"When it comes to their own feelings, they don"t understand each other at all."
