Yuma didn't know what to tell him. He was obviously going to lie but what can he tell him? Yuma looked away from Shark and said, "It's none of your business. Have you considered that I just might be happy to be seeing relatives? Or maybe I'm just having a damn good day." Yuma unlocked his door and then slammed it shut. Shark was surprised because Yuna would never act like this. He started towards the door but stopped and considered Yuma might be angry still.

Yuma thought about what he did while showering. He never reacted like that and now he feels bad. He got out of the shower and dried himself off, thinking about calling and apologizing. He figured he'd have to explain everything to him. Was he ready to tell him everything? Could Shark keep his secret? He looked at his phone, wondering what he should do.

"Hello? Yuma?" Shark said half concerned. "I wanted to apologize to you, for my rudeness and all. I...I want to tell you something and you can't tell anyone." replied Yuma rather worried. Shark knew Yuma was keeping something from him. "Not tell anyone huh, it must be something serious..." he thought quietly and then said, "I promise I won't tell anyone". Yuma knew he could trust him with anything because he's always been a man of his word, he hoped. "I think....I'm falling for K-Kaito. See, ever since he came to see me...." Yuma said, explaining everything.

Shark couldn't believe what he was just told. He felt betrayed, confused, happy, and upset all at the same time. "You kept this to yourself this whole time? Man, can't imagine what you go through when you see Tori." Shark replied and then added, "So, where are you two going tomorrow?" Yuma wasn't too sure himself either, but he did know that it'd be a date.

Yuma finally hung up with Shark then went downstairs to get something to eat. He heard the doorbell ring so he grabbed a bat just in case. He opened the door to find Tori there, in casual clothes. "Did Shark tell her?" Yuma thought worriedly. She walked in without a word and sat down on the couch. Yuma locked the door then sat next to Tori. "Yuma, you will be here tomorrow night, right?" Tori inquired. Yuma nodded and asked why she was here, not to make it seem like he didn't want her here. Tori avoided his question, slid over onto Yuma's lap and leaned in close. He knew what was next and felt her lips on his. He realized he felt little to nothing at all.

"I-I think you should go. I need to pack for tomorrow and all. I'll see you later?" said Yuma as he walked her to the door. He softly pushed her out then locked the door behind her. Tori wasn't sure how to feel, so she walked home with her head down low.

Yuma woke and checked his phone. "7am? I never wake this early...I must be excited" he said sleepily while getting up. Kaito wouldn't be coming until 10, so he had plenty of time to get dressed and eat something. He sat in front of the TV, eating an omlet when he checked the time again, "9:50...Why am I so nervous?"

The doorbell rang and he went to answer it. "Are you ready, Yuma?" Kaito said enthusiastically.
