This is starting to get a bit annoying right now.

"What's annoying you now?" Shogun asked, turning the page of his book.

"I found the last guy we need," I said slowly, hoping the girls didn't hear me as they watched a movie.

"So? Isn't that what we've been looking for?" I asked, putting down my book and looking at his computer.

He nodded, "yeah but with this much tension, I don't think that it's the best idea to tell them about this yet."

I nodded, He's right. The Girls are already on thin ice and if they know about this then they will rush to start a plan, we can't let them know about this, "We'll tell Edward and Lyn about this, keep the two in the dark while we start planning. Then when we have the plan at hand we tell them, we'll be good to go."

Rinko looked out the window, "What about Raven?"

I just looked at him in thought and shrugged, "she'll find out either way.

~'~

This is so boring! I have nothing to do. I am sitting in the garden in the backyard with a glass of lemonade and some strawberries next to me on the glass table.

I've been annoying Rose but she's been getting a lot smarter, so she ignores me most of the time, which is no fun anymore. I keep teasing Edward about Lyn but he's keeping it quiet, I just want him to be happy even if it means me bothering him all the time.

"I see that you are having a good time?"

I turned around and looked then turned back, "could be better." Grabbing the drink and taking a sip.

Lyn nodded and took a seat next to me, "I know what you mean, Do you think the girls will get along?" She asked, grabbing a strawberry and ate it.

I shrugged, "I don't know but it's getting out of hand lately, we need to do something. We are about to finish this and we need them to cooperate with each other, so we can take them down."

Lyn agreed and we just talked to each other like we were old friends, but in reality, it was killing me, the fact that they don't know it's me. The one person who they miss so dearly is sitting right next to them.

"Lyn! Raven!" Someone shouted.

I groaned and looked behind me, "What?"

Rinko stood next to me and looked at the drink in my hand, "you mind?" he asked.

I shook my head and gave it to him.

"Rinko, what's the problem?" Lyn asked.

Rinko gave me the, now empty, glass and looked at us with excitement, "I found the last person we need to take down the institute!"

Lyn smiled brightly and clapped her hands slightly, "that's wonderful!"

I nodded and smirked, "So what's our next move?"

Rinko scratched the back of his head and looked away, "Well, Shogun and I decided that we should come up with a plan and then tell Rose and Ash about it."

Lyn looked confused, "why not tell Rose and Ash?" She asked, crossing her arms over her chest and giving him a curious look.

"We thought it was best since they don't get along now, so when we present the plan to them they won't have any say in it since it will be foolproof from any mistakes," Rinko explained happily.

Lyn was lost in thought, thinking over this as she munched on another strawberry.

I rolled my eyes at her actions and looked at Rinko with a full-blown smile, "I think that's a perfect plan."

Rinko's cheeks turned pink as he looked at the ground with interest, "You think so?" he asked shyly.

I giggled slightly and nodded, "of course, we can't have that two jeopardize the plan now can we?"

Lyn nodded, "you're right, we need to make this count."

~'~

It's been a quiet morning so far, no one is talking to us, considering that the fact that they are steering clear of us.

Rose is sitting at the other end of the sofa, watching a movie, while Rinko and Shogun are talking about something.

I didn't know what to expect, a warm welcome? or a small smile from everyone, no. They just moved out of our way when we're walking down the hall.

Everything is going down the drain, not one thing is going my way at the moment.

"I see that you are still wallowing in self-pity, why don't you do something to cheer you up?" Shogun asked, sitting next to me.

I rolled my eyes at him and nodded, "and the fact that you always seem to know is a mystery."

He chuckled and shook his head, "I'll always know when it comes to you."

I stopped and looked out the window, "you know what I've always wondered?"

Shogun stopped as well and looked at me with curious eyes, "in what way?′

I shrugged not looking at him, "I'm not sure, but it's a beautiful way."

He chuckled and started to walk away, "the end game is almost here. If I were you I would start preparing."

And with that, he turned a corner and was out of sight.

I just started down the hall.

"I see that you are preoccupied with something," a voice whispered at me.

I sighed and continued to walk, footsteps following me, "there is nothing on my mind."

The voice giggled childishly and poked my back lightly, "if you say so~"

I stopped and turned around, "what do you want Raven?"

Raven giggled and pouted slightly, "I just came to tell you that we found the last guy."

I looked at her with a guarded expression, "oh? and who would that be?"

Raven shrugged and looked at the vase of flowers and picked one up, "I'm not sure, but the boys seemed quite concerned about it. Didn't even give me a name." plucking a purple petal from the Verbena and letting them drift to the floor, "what would you like me to do?"

I thought for a moment if the boys wanted me to know about this, then they would've told me in the first place, so why didn't they tell me?

I looked at Raven as she continued to pluck the petals and let them drift away, "Raven, I want you to see what else they have found and report back to me, in the meantime... please stop bothering Rose, she might kill you one of these days." I said concerned for her.

Raven smiled innocently and gave me doe-like eyes, "who? me? why would I bother Rose? She and I are friends!" She said playfully and in a childlike voice.

I rolled my eyes at her innocent act and just shooed her away to do her job, I watched her skip down the hall and disappeared into the shadows, I swear that girl is going to be the death of me one way or another.

~'~

As I skipped down the hall and stopped at my bedroom door, I thought of something... If this doesn't go right then we'll have no choice but to reveal everything! yay! This is going to be fun!

I opened my door and stopped, he was leaning against the windowsill with a dying rose in hand, well I wonder what he wants?

"We have something we need to discuss... Raven."

I gripped the door know and gave him a strained smile, "why of course... my lord."

~~~

Well I wonder what they have to talk about? Rose and Ash really have to put aside their differences and get along, there is a really big secret going on! So a few more chapters and this story will come to an end! I kinda feel sad about it tho. Anyways I hope you enjoy it.

Ash out~
