So, off Hikaru and Karou went, with Hikaru leaning onto Karou. The rest of the host club was unaware of them leaving.

The girl in the trees kept bounding from tree to tree, shaking it's branches for coconuts. She knew that her group was going to try to make it back to civilization soon, so they needed all of the food they could get. Especially if their going to go by plane. She, at least, hoped so. She hates the sand, she hates the heat, she hates the emptiness and the quiet of the desert. She just hates it here. She needs the city. She likes the bussle​ of the crouds, the noisy city she grew up with, the trees in the park good for storing her food stash she had gathered. Here, their isn't a lot of trees besides palm, and they aren't like good old oak trees that she longed for.
As she thought about this mindlessly, she failed to notice the twins till one of them broke her train if thought, causing her to pause slightly, then continue with her mission to gather food, listening in on their conversation which she found quite interesting.

"What do you think she's doing up there?" Hikaru asked, looking up at the canopy above him and his brother.

"Gathering fruit?" Karou asked, just as confused, as they walked down the sandy path.

"Should we call her down?" Hikaru asked, still looking up, as his ankle gave out a bit, causing him to stumble.

"Nah, let's leave her be. Let's just follow her. Who knows, maybe she will lead us somewhere cool." Karou replied, as he grabbed Hikaru when he fell and helped support Hikaru a bit better.

"I wonder what it looks like up there. I bet it's fantastic." Hikaru pondered, a slight glint in his eyes lightening up at the idea of the open sky.

"It'll look just the same as past this canopy in this desert." Karou said, making his brothers glint shatter into nothing. "I'm just being real, brother." He said, as he grabbed his brothers chin cheekily. "Besides, you should only be keeping your eyes on me, Hikaru." He said, chuckling afterwards.

Hibiki laughed and touched Karou's forehead with his own. "I know brother. Your the only sight I need to see." He said, as they both burst out laughing afterwards.

"Hey, do you think there are any wild animals in here?" Karou asked, suddenly wary and cautious of the trees.

"I mean, it's a desert, but there could be a dangerous animal here." Hikaru said, as he tried to not look scareder than he actually felt.

The girl kept going, as she kept leaping from tree to tree, already aware of Hikaru's and Karou's presence. She recognized them as the boys Hibiki would sometime talk about in front of the fire at her favorite time of the day, storytime. The twins stories were always pretty funny. She chuckled silently at that view bit, as she thought that was true, but it's always a different world up in the trees than on the ground. She felt the wind in her long messy hair as it tickled her cheeks. But at that last part, she let out a small mischievous smile and started going faster.

"Hey, wait up!" They called, in unison, as they raced in the sand, Hibiki struggling a bit.

The girl noticed them struggling, confused on why that was. She watched their actions, noticing one redhead was leaning on the other. She looked at the one that was supposedly injured, the one leaning on the other, and slowed down. She didn't want to make him hurt anymore, but she still had that mischievous smile on her face. She soon disappearing into the leaves of the tops of the trees to find out.

"Where did she go?" Karou asked, confused.

"Do you think we scared her off?" Hikaru asked, a bit worried. "What if she knows where Hibiki is?" He asked, his worries feeding into his brother.

"It'll be ok. If she does, we'll ask her where they are. No big deal." Karou said, as confidentally as he could.

The girl slowly climbed down the tree, making no noise, as she started behind them, planning on scaring them. She looked down to indeed confirm the fact that the one leaning redhead was indeed injured. Once she was in range, she touched the injured ones back, and made a loud noise.

The twins screamed, as Karou held onto Hikaru with all of his strength, protecting him.

Hikaru curled up in a ball, kicking his good leg at the thing. "S-stay away, beast!" He shouted.

The girl laughed, her laugh small and soundless.

The twins opened their eyes, baffled by the small girl.

"D-did you scare us?" Karou asked, flustered.

The girl nodded, grinning as she snickered silently. She silently laughed, as she looked at their scared faces.

The pranksters have just been pranked. And the twins knew it.
They just couldn't believe how a small kid like that could prank them so easily. They are normally the praking masters. It threw them both off. So when the bushes started shaking, they both jumped, wrapping their arms around each other to protect one another.

Just then, a boy with shaggy, dirty brown hair, and bright, shiny blue eyes, appeared from the bushes, looking a little worse for the wear, but was still recognizable and was still wearing the now filthy sling. His uniform was torn in different places and he had bruises on his face.

"Squirrel, I was looking for.....you.... Hikaru? Karou?" He asked, looking at their absurd position of defence, chuckling slightly.

Hikaru recognized the voice, though it has been a while since they've heard it.

Karou gasped, almost dropping Hikaru in suprise. He recognized it too.

It was no other than....

This is chapter 39.

And these might be my last few chapters.

I'm not going to delete the account because so many people are reading these, but I can't be on Wattpad anymore.

So these last couple of chapters will be my last.

I hope you'd enjoyed them.

Love,
Ducky!
