Yesterday we were partying and drinking until they eventually passed out, I also learned that Riki cannot really hold his liquor, he starts blubbering like a baby when he is drunk. 

Well, I have one thing to tease him about, so it's not really bad actually.

I woke up to find myself sleeping on top of the table, a blanket was draped on top of my body, I folded it and placed it on top of the table.

"Oh, I've seen you're awake." Riki said as I walked into the kitchen, he was busy stirring the soup with a spoon.

"Yup." I said as he gave me a bowl of miso soup, I haven't had them since mom died, it sure brought back memories.

I took a sip of miso soup and saw him watching me. "Why are you watching me like that? Did you put poison in the soup or something?"

"No, I was actually thinking if it tasted good." Riki grins cheekily.

"Its good." I replied.

"I can now make sure your taste buds are working properly." Riki said.

"My taste buds are working fine, thanks for your concern." I said taking another mouthful of soup.

"By the way, we're thinking to train you today?" Boss said coming out of no where.

"Training? For what?" I said absentmindedly.

"To become a Black Foxes member!"

**

We were currently hiking a hill, don't ask me why, I don't know either.

"Why are we hiking a hill? Are we going to roll downhill later so I can break some bones to be a Black Foxes member?" I said tiredly.

"I know, its hot out, and I'm tired." Takuto whined.

"You guys just wait, you're going in for a treat today." Boss smiles.

"Oh my god!" We were standing at the tip of the mountain.

I took a few pictures, the view was great up here, I couldn't resist to make a memory.

"I think I'm going to faint." Hiro shivered and I snorted.

"Hiro, you're suppose to be a hero, remember?" I said rolling my eyes.

"I'm off duty today." Hiro said nervously.

Boss got all of the equipment on us and decided to go behind Takuto, we still didn't know what we were doing yet, so Takuto face was clouded in confusion.

"H-hey, what are do-" Takuto's voice was cut off as Boss pushed him off the cliff, we could hear him scream very loudly as he neared the ground, he stopped midway though, the ropes steadying him.

He was yelling something but he was so far down we couldn't hear anything. Boss pushed Kenshi and Riki down, and without waiting them to touch ground, he pushed me too.

The wind was so strong I couldn't hear anything but my own heartbeat and breathing, minus Kenshi's and Riki's screams, of course. But I felt so free. I could feel myself letting go of my past as I touched ground. Hiro helped me unbuckled my gears and I smiled gratefully at him.

"Krystal, you're so cute!" Hiro said giving me a hug, catching me off guard, meanwhile Kenshi started screaming,"OH MY GOD, THAT WAS SO FUN, I'M GOING TO GO AGAIN!" 

"Oh shut up, my ear drums are going to break." Takuto glared at Kenshi but in his annoyance he started laughing.

For the first few seconds, we just looked at Kenshi, then we finally burst into laughter, our cheerful laughs sounded throughout the walls and it echoed back.

We were so occupated in our own little bubble and we didn't see something straight for us. Dang, I forgot about boss! He crashed into Takuto and he tumbled backward, crashing straight into Riki.

"Hey, Beardface! Look where you're going!" Takuto glared at boss, who shrugged glumly.

**

"Just one more, Takuto! You're going to demonstrate!" Kenshi yelled.

So for the record, letting Takuto challenge the sky trail is not a good idea. 

We were standing here for half an hour, Takuto was still dangling in mid air as his feet slipped just now.

"Ah, I give up. Krystal, can you do it without demonstrating?" Kenshi sighed in frustration and he motioned Takuto to come back down.

"I guess so." I say climbing up. I wasn't afraid of heights, but the poles seemed very narrow and far apart.

Holding onto the rope above, I quickly made my way across the poles, I came back down as Kenshi cheered.

"56 seconds!" He yelled giving me a hug.

"See what I did there, Takuto?"  I said wiggling my eyebrows.

"Go away!" Takuto huffed.

**

It was nighttime and we just dried off from swimming. Any big fiasco's? Well Hiro almost drowned because Riki ran into him and he fell into the water.

And could you guess who rescued him?

Takuto.

"Can I have a drink, Krystal?" Riki asked and Takuto glared at him.

I nodded knowing Riki has work tomorrow, I made something non alcohol for him.

"I have a announcement, Krystal successfully passed the test." Excited shouts rang throughout the room and I smiled happily.

"And the next one, we have a mission tomorrow, get ready." Boss said with a smile and I nodded with a grin.
