It Wasn't What It Seemed To Be

Chapter 27 -Hugs And A Bit Of Rest-

"So.."

"Sora...ru.."

"Soraru!"

The ravenette quickly sat up and saw a worried Kashitarou in front of him. Behind him was Un:c trying to help the red-eye brunette up. He then remembered about Mafu, he looked over to see the albino in his arms before he sighed. Relieved, that the male wasn't taken away. But instead, he saw the albino with a black marking, specifically, a bar code.

"Odd.. Hey, Mafu.. Wake up.." He said, trying to wake him up. But nothing came to respond. Kashitarou frowned before speaking softly, "Let's just get home...-"

"Well, well.. I didn't expect to see this." A female voice said in disappointment. They turned to see a girl with blond hair before Soraru was the first to say something, "Lon..?" She gave a tiny smile as she waved at them, "Hey, long time no see." Her attention then went to the albino in the ravenette's arms as she tilted her head, "Who's that?"

Kashitarou gave a small sigh, "We'll explain later, let's just get back home." He said, kneeling down as he gently picked up a certain red-eyed brunette who was currently asleep. Lon then turned to Un:c before helping him up as Kashitarou started leading the way back home.

To be honest, Soraru expected Lon to be upset or even furious with them about the crystal. But he supposed that all she worried at the moment was them themselves. The blond had always put others first no matter what the situation, wich is why they admired het a lot when they were younger.

While they walked, Soraru had the the albino in his arms. He remembered Suzumu stating that Mafu was important for something, so then he wondered. Why didn't they decide to take him? He shook his head at the thought. Besides, he was just relieved that the albino wasn't taken away.

Once they reached to their destination, they saw an umbrella fly past them, almost accidentally hitting Kashitarou's neck. They turned to see a certain masked male and too also notice Luz next to him. Before anything Kashitarou stood up and started to speak, hoping that at least Luz would listen to his explanation.

"Hold up a sec! Eve, it's us. So please don't kill us with your umbrella. And Luz, I know it looks like we might be doing something bad to Mafu but we were attacked and-"

"We know."

The group blinked before Kashitarou was the first to ask, "Wait.. Your not mad?" The blonde let out a chuckle, "No, infact I heard from Eve and Shima that your group helped them and Mafu. So how could I be mad? After all, Mafu left just to help you all." He explained. But then he turned to the swordsman, "But.. Even so, please do hand him over. Not that I hate you, but I'm afraid you may not be allowed to touch him in any way at the moment." He said with a smile.

"How about no?"

Luz turned to the voice as he had a small frown, "Lon.."

She smiled, "Nice to see you again, Luz." The male took a step back from worry before taking out a strong looking sword as he pointed at her.

"What are you doing here.."

"Oh.. I don't know.. I'm perhaps only here to win."

Soraru then quickly turned to Lon, "Hey, now's not the time. I get that you don't like each other, but we've got people to heal up." The blonde only stared at him before she sighed, "R-Right, sorry.." She said with a frown.

Luz only gave her a smirk before following the already moving group. As they entered inside the building, Kashitarou had told both Lon and Luz to stay while the rest would take care of each other. And as Soraru entered his room, he gently sat the albino down on his bed before closing his bedroom door.
