I was total excited. Today was the day we will start stage 1 of the plan, and Ethan's friend was coming too. Lui was still grumpy and Nya was her cute giggly self. We were all waiting by the front of the house for our guests.

My ankle started to hurt from standing. It's the last day I had to wear those horrid crutch things, but the day never came to an end. Nya noticed my pain and decided that she, I and Lui can stay inside and Ethan would bring his friend in. We all agreed to the plan and now, I was inside the house playing some random games in Ethan's phone.

The door opened and Ethan entered. I almost dropped the phone by seeing who entered behind him.

Toko Aoi

Toko didn't look as surprised, but his face brightened and he skipped to us. "Hey Shu-kun!"

"H-hey, I didn't expect you were Ethan's friend." And honestly, I didn't. Toko would be the last person coming to my peanut brain actually.

"Well, me and Aiger met Ethan in school and he was a cool blader so we befriended him. He said I'm good at science and that I should probably learn about hacking and stuff which would be a good technique for difficult times. And Aiger also agreed with him and blah blah..." I laughed at his carefree nature. Ethan went to sit next to Nya.

"So Shu...Sorry if it's too personal but I heard you found your soulmate?" Toko asked like a curious little child. I giggled ever so manly.

"I-I did! He got long white hair like mine and red eyes like me too! He'd probably be handsome as well." Lui rolled his eyes and huffed, gaining all of our attention.

"Wait...A-aren't you that weird fire head dude? Lio Shinoyaki or something?" 

Lui flushed bright red, everyone in the room except Toko and Lui laughed. Toko looked confused. "...You aren't?"

"It's Lui Shirosagi for you nitwit!" Lui snapped. This time, even Toko joined our laughter.

"whoops, I'm sorry," Toko said as we calmed down enough from laughing. "I'm sorry I just forgot and...something like that..." Ethan looked at Toko.

"Woah woah there Toko. Why so...formal?" We had a good laugh again.

Nya took Toko to our discussion room as we followed. Toko looked around the whole house with large interest, and gasped dramatically when he reached Ethan's room.

Unlike Nya's room, Ethan's room was filled with pictures of beyblades, other sports pictures, Korean stuff, Harry Potter posters, beyblade themed things like beyblade bedsheets, beyblade timepiece, beyblade pyjamas, etc. His wall was painted the lightest grey with white polka dots. There was even a laptop and a lot of printers and unknown devices. Toko went and sat on the rotating chair in front of the laptop and other devices. "So...How are we doing this?"

And we sat down and started discussing our plans. Turns out, Toko was a smartass when it came to the internet. I remembered Nika never being separated from Toko, and a question popped to my mind.

"Toko, if you don't mind me asking, how's Nika?" Toko smiled.

"She really wanted to come, but Ethan was against it. The less people the better. It was hard work to make her stay. But Aiger played one of Akira Yamatoga's concerts on screen, and Nika agreed to stay because Akira is her soulmate and she can never miss any of his concerts.

The fact that a singer was Nika's soulmate surprised me. "Woah, what?"

"Yep, we didn't tell Valt about you being safe, or that you have a soulmate. It would cause a problem."

I frowned. "Why?"

Toko and Ethan looked at each other in a serious sort of way. Ethan cleared his throat.

"he won't accept your soulmate b-becau-"

Toko went straight to the point.

"He loves you, Shu-kun."

Sorry this chap is short, but I'm in a hurry. Seeya next time!

Fin.
