While trying not to wake up the already sleeping male, Soraru was gently moving the angel from him to get up. He then pulled blanket up to Mafu's shoulders. He smiled to himself while looking at him, he really didn't know why, but ever since he had met the angel, he had been drawn closer to him. Soraru shrugged it off before opening the door quietly before stepping out the room and closes it again.

He then started walking downstairs seeing the group. Shima crossed his arms before speaking with worry, "Is he ok? What happened?" The ravenett sighed before looking at them in the eye.

"Suzumu had touched him."

Shima's expression changed, his eyes had just shown anger from those words. He took a deep breath, trying to calm down. Amatsuki and Kashitarou were silent, they didn't really know how to react, while Eve was just facing the wall. The masked male then turned to him, "You mean.."

Soraru nodded, "He told me that Suzumu had wanted to go further than just marks and touch. Those cuts and bruises came from him too from the fact that Suzumu was trying to force him."

"That sick bastard!" Shima yelled. The group looked at him before the male kept quiet again.

"I would try to wtach your language there." A blond said next to him. Shima looked at him before facing the ground, "Sorry." The two looked eachother for a few moments before looking away. Then, they heard familiar footsteps from behind them.

The male yawned before looking at them, "What's with all the noise- " Sou then stared at the mint-haired male before stepping away, "You! Your the one who attacked me back at the forest!" He exclaimed. Eve simply looked at him and just stayed quiet, he really didn't want to talk at the moment but he decided that he should just be kind. So he walked up to the male before giving him a cookie.

"Im sorry for attacking you." He said quietly. Eve wasn't really sure if the male infront of him was trustworthy or not, but seeing that Mafu knows him. He thought he should just act polite for now. Sou then smiled before accepting the cookie, "Thank you."

He male nodded before turning away as he walked back to Shima's side, silently trying to avoid Sou's gaze. The male was confused about the masked male but decided to shrug it off and turned to Soraru. "So.. Why are they here? And why did I hear crying from your room just a few minutes ago?"

Soraru frowned bitterly, "Turns out that village ended up being trouble. Their leader even ended up touching Mafu..." He explained shortly before looking at the floor. Sou frowned, "Oh.. I see, then... Does he need any healing?" Soraru nodded, "Yeah, but he's asleep right now." Sou nodded quietly before a certain green-eyed brunette came up to the group after listening for a small while. To be honest, everyone had expected that, well except Shima and Eve of course.

Urata looked at them before Shima suddenly pointed at him, "You!" The male tilted his head before crossing his arms, "What?"

"You... Look familiar. Is there a chance that, your name is possibly Urita?"

Everyone just looked at the male confused before Senra snickered a bit at the fact that the brunnette's name was mispronounced. Kashitarou then decided to correct the male just in case.

"You mean Urata?"

Shima nodded, everyone else just turned to Urata wondering since when he had met the male. And telling by the Urata's expression, he didint know when he had met someone outside from their group. Shima then walked up to him and patted his head, "Dang, even now, your still short."

"Excuse me!?"

Senra laughed from the response while standing next to Shima before he felt his hat being taken off his head. He looked up at the purple-eyed male while giving a small glare. But honestly, to Shima, it wasn't a very dangerous glare.

"Hey, give it back!"

Shima laughed a bit before placing the blond's hat back on his head. He looked at him closely before giving a small chuckle as he smiled, "No wonder you looked so familiar... Nice to see you again too, Senra."

Urata and Senra looked at eachother before looking back at the male. They never met this person, but to Shima, they have. At this rate now that they think about it, even Shima looks familiar, but they just don't know where or how.

"You know, im even sure Sakata would be so happy to see you two again." He smiled. Kashitarou then stepped in, "Okay, I think your confusing them. Just look at them, they dont even recognize the name, 'Sakata'."

Shima nodded in understandment before looking back at the two, "Sorry, but, im sure you'll remember someday okay? Sides, its been a few years since we last met." He explained.

"Wait."

Senra looked at Urata, "What is it?" The brunette looked at the ground first before facing them again.

"I want to meet this Sakata person."

Shima smiled brightly, "Great! We should bring Sakata here to meet you since im pretty sure Luz wouldn't allow it." They nodded before Sou happily spoke, "Well, looks like you three get along well."

The red-eyed brunnette then looked at Sou before speaking, "All we need now is you and Eve to get along."

"But we do?"

Kashitarou shook his head, "You only talked for a bit, c'mon Sou, try talking to him a bit more." He said, slightly pulling the male towards Eve. And of course, Eve took a step back from the three. It wasn't because he hated them, but because they were pushing Sou a bit too close to him.

"Okay, okay... So, Eve right?"

The male nodded as he held his umbrella tightly, the male couldn't help but stare at him. He just didn't know how to properly talk to someone as well. Eve was more used to being around people he knew, but Sou was just different. A feeling of distrust was still inside him.

Seeing that Eve was quiet, Sou decided to gently pat his head before giving a gentle smile. "If your uncomfortable or nervous, just tell me so I don't make it worse."

"Don't worry, Eve just doesn't trust you as much yet." Shima explained. "Oh, well I hope you can trust me and everyone else soon. We honestly mean no harm." Sou said calmly.

Kashitarou then spoke out, "So.. Shima, Eve. Are you two staying for the night?"

"Yep."

Amastuki then smiled brightly, "You two and Mafu can stay in the same extra room we made here." Kashitarou shook his head, "Actually, it'll just be the two of them. Soraru said that Mafu was going to stay with him tonight."

"Jeez.. He really must-" Before he could even finish, Shim had run up the stairs to find the swordsman. When he opened the door, he saw the ravenett gently hugging the albino in his sleep protectively.

He really wanted to yell at Soraru.

But before he could, he felt himself being dragged out the room from Kashitarou before Amatsuki had closed the door while giving a smile.

"I think it's best if we don't disturb them, dont you think~?"
