"They've been in there a long time. Do you think everything's okay?" Luna asked, worried for her new friends. She wasn't the only one. Yuto and Ruri were still in the cabin with the latter's older brother, Shun. When the group had "hurriedly" left the trio alone, Shun had just discovered his sister and best friend were now a couple... something the older Kurosaki didn't seem happy about. None of them had come out yet, though there was no more shouting.
"Relax, Luna. I'm sure nothing's wrong. Yuto and Ruri are just straightening things out with her brother, that's all." Akari said, trying to calm the younger girl. She was sure Shun wouldn't go as far as hurt Yuto. She herself was a bit worried, but not nearly as much. Still, Akari kind of understood Shun's position. Just recently her own little brother got himself a girlfriend too, in the form of Shark's younger sister, Rio. Akari felt he was still a bit too young for dating, but she knew her brother was a good kid and wouldn't do anything to hurt Rio's feelings. Otherwise, he would have to face Shark's wrath as well as her own. 'Maybe I'm being just a bit overprotective. Regardless, I should give Yuma a talk about this after he gets back.'
No sooner had she thought this than that same little brother reappeared. "I'm back guys!" Yuma called out. The group was glad for his and Astral's return.
"Yuma!" Rio replied happily.
"Astral!" Kotori added.
"About time you two got back." Shark said impatiently.
"What's the scoop, little bro?" Akari asked, eager to hear any news.
"There's a lot to tell." Yuma said, noticing Astral wasn't making eye contact with anyone. He could tell that his partner was really troubled by what he and Ray saw on the Astral World. He then noticed that three people were absent. "Hold up. Where are Yuto, Ruri, and Shun? They should hear everything too." Akari sighed.
"They are still in the cabin, having a very awkward chat. Apparently, Shun had no clue his sister and Yuto were a thing. I kinda blurted it out while you were gone without realizing he didn't know anything. He uh... didn't seem to take it well." She said with a nervous chuckle.
"Believe me, I understand just how the guy feels." Shark said, still giving Yuma the "I'll kill you if you mess with my sister" stare. Yuma flinched from the look. Rio groaned.
"Ryoga, What is it going to take to convince you to drop this?! I like Yuma, and Yuma likes me. We want to be together! Just accept it and move on already!" She demanded angrily. Her brother turned away, not bothering to answer. Rio shook her head in frustration. "Brothers." She muttered in annoyance.
Before another word can be spoken, the Xyz trio finally exited the cabin. Yuto and Ruri were walking hand in hand, fingers entwined. They seemed to be okay. Shun, however, definitely didn't appear to be in a happy mood. He looked like he ate a whole bunch of sour grapes at once. "Remember Yuto. You do one thing to hurt or upset Ruri in any way... your ass is mine." Shun warned in a very strict tone. Yuto nodded.
"I won't forget Shun." His best friend said. Ruri sighed.
"Don't be so hard on him, Big Brother. We both know he won't hurt me." She told him. Shun grunted. They all gasped when they saw that Yuma and Astral had returned. "Look! They're back!" She pointed excitedly.
"Yes they are." Yuto said.
"Yuma, Astral. You two returned just now?" Shun asked. Yuma nodded.
"Yep. I heard you know about Yuto and Ruri dating now." Shun growled, making Yuma back away a few steps.
"Perhaps it would be best not to discuss the subject with him for the time being." Astral advised, with nodding vigorously in agreement.
"So... uh, Yuma." Kotori said, trying to change the subject. "What did you find out on Cyberse World?"
