Raven walked and took a chair that was lying on the floor, putting it up before sitting down on it .

"I see that the doctor's departure brought great distress towards you," Raven said after settling himself down .

Kaoru looked around and was then became aware that the condition of his room was not so good when a visitor would arrive .

"I say, you guys are quite younger than I am, calling me uncle should be a proper thing right?" Kaoru asked as he placed down his sword and sat down on his bed .

"Does your att.i.tude allow us to treat you as an elder?" Raven replied flatly .

Kaoru could only scratch the back of his head after hearing this .

"But . . . "

He looked up when Raven once again started spekaing .

"Your att.i.tude this morning was truly remarkable, I thought it was someone else . I couldn't equate that man to you . "

"What can't I be serious once in a while? Want some tea?" Kaoru smiled upon hearing this as he stood  up and walked towards the door .

Basing to the fact that this young man is a closefriend of Eureka, he was no longer shock to know that he had been here since this morning and that he was there when he faced Tazuna and Arisa .

"Oh, you still have some tea in here? I'm amazed," Raven replied as he followed Kaoru .

"Hey, no matter how messy everything is, tea will always be tea . It is an essential for our daily lives . "

As they step out of the hall, Raven saw the other room whose door was opened .

"Wow, there is actually a place where everything was in order . "

Kaoru's ears turned red as he quickly closed the door, "You know, I'm wondering if you really are Raven . Why are you suddenly so talkative?"

Raven shrugged as he went ahead and went down the first floor . When Kaoru followed, he saw Raven who stopped at the last step, looking around the whole first floor .

Kaoru once again turned red as he went past Raven and started fixing the stuffs inside the house, he was mumbling at the same time, "You should have told me someone is coming, then I wouldn't have left this place like this . You stupid brother . "

*****

*ACHOO*

"Father?" Rino asked as he look towards Akihiro, both were in Akihiro's office, Rino was reading some materials while Akihiro was signing some doc.u.ments .

"Hmmm, it's nothing . My nose just suddenly became itchy . "

*****

As Raven watch Kaoru fix the place up in a fl.u.s.tered manner while mumbling to himself, a smile appeared on his face .

(Flashback)

"Listen carefully, you have to double check him . He might have fallen into so much depression and lost himself . Make sure that when he returns he is as childish as ever, you understand? He wouldn't be Kaoru if he is not childish at all," Nana spoke to him as they bid him goodbye .

After sending the letter, all of them was still very much worried of Kaoru who was alone in Hesperian . Despite acting cool, Akihiro was always standing in the balcony facing Hesperian Kingdom .

Nana, on the other hand, became even more of a chatter box . In the end, even Feena and the other girls fell worried and started thinking if Kaoru was indeed fine on his own .

Rino could only sigh, together with him, Kaoru was a good few years older than they are but it felt like, Kaoru was a child that cause them to worry .

In the end, they could only send someone to Kaoru to make sure that he really would be fine . At the same time to support him .

"I understand, I shall watch over him as you asked . And make sure he returns as himself," Raven could only reply in defeat .

(End Of Flashback)

After fixing everything, Kaoru prepared some tea and snack and served it to Raven .

Raven looked outside before looking back to the snacks in front of him, "This might be completely unrelated but are you not planning on having dinner at all?"

As he bit down on a cookie, "Hmmm? Of course we will still eat dinner . That and this are going to two separate stomachs after all . "

His reply was like asking, 'Are you serious? This is normal . '

"By the way," Kaoru started as Raven picked up his cup of tea .

"How did you enter? Did they ask you for identification? Hmmm but that's not it, you are quite popular over here, surely the chief would have come and greeted you himself . "

Raven sipped from his cup and placed it back before he propped his head with his hand and replied in a bored manner, "Their guards are lousy, I was able to enter without any of them noticing it at all . "

*CRACK*

Kaoru who just bit on another cookie paused his movements as he look at Raven in shock . He swallowed what was on his mouth before asking, "You entered without doing it the proper way?!?!"

Raven placed a finger in his ear after Kaoru slam his hand on the table and spoke right in front of him .

But before he could speak, Kaoru started laughing as he sat back in his chair .

"This is hilarious, truly hilarious . "

He kept laughing and Raven left him be, he just drank more from his cup, he had already finished it but Kaoru was still not done laughing . He was even slamming his fist on the table as he held his stomach .

Raven served himself another cup, he was half way done when Kaoru finally calmed down and wiped the tears that formed at the edge of his eyes .

"Seriously, that was hilarious . Their idol whom so many people wanted to see actually came in without them noticing it . Just like a good tea that slipped from your sight just because you are focused on the old teas you were used to . "

He drank all the remaining tea from his cup and filled it all over again . He looks like someone who was thirsty as he drank the tea .

"I say, shall we spar? We can move the things to give s.p.a.ce in the middle, after all I really can't get out right now," Raven asked after a few minutes .

Light pa.s.ses through Kaoru's eyes as he excitedly moved the furnitures . He too wanted to know just how far can he use his sword . Despite him continuously swinging it, in the end he has no secret sparring partner .

Raven being one of the best and being here actually helped him a lot .

"Come on then young man, shall we test each other?" Kaoru said after freeing up some s.p.a.ce in the living room, it was not big but it was enough .

*****

"I say it is a good thing for Kaoru to have a companion, but it is also a good thing for Raven . Maybe a different environment would help him as well," Mamoru said as he speak with Rino .

Both he and Hideyos.h.i.+ came to visit Rino despite the time being already late .

"Yeah, despite seeing him return to usual, a change in environment and change in atmosphere would surely help him in coping up with her absence," Hideyos.h.i.+ added .

"To come up with such an idea, you really are good Rino . "

Rino looked up from what he was reading, "Nope that was not my idea . "

"Then the king?"

Rino shakes his head, "It was actually sir Dai . He thought that despite it being a challenge for Kaoru to be a king, a comapnion is still a good thing to have . "

"Sir Dai, has a very profound sight indeed," Hideyos.h.i.+ nodded as he replied .

"Well he had been beside my father all these time, to be honest his att.i.tude could be that of a ruler as well," Rino commented .

*****

Their spar have ended for a while now, Kaoru went up to rest while Raven chose to stay in the living room, sleeping in the sofa . He had already taken a bath .

A smile was playing in his lips as he stare at his hands, 'Its been an hour, but I still feel numb . Truly he was not indeed a knight that was developed through continuous practice . Blade child is really a good t.i.tle for him . He was born with the talent of using the sword . '

Raven looked outside the window, "I can't wait for the day that I could spar with him without any of us holding back . "

As he clenched his hand into a fist, his smile grew wider . And if any of his friends were present they would instantly think that his smile was something they haven't seen in a long while .

The smile that he has whenever he encounters a strong opponent . The smile that he unknowingly have whenever he and Eureka were sparring . The smile of someone who was greedy of strength .

"That day would surely be a great day to use my sword . "

He haven't felt this feeling after the war ended, he felt somehow bored even if he were to spar with the general and even with his father .

Somehow, maybe because he was already used to it . To their strength, but this time was different, the strength Kaoru have shown was completely different and he could feel his blood boiliing .

"That's right this is the same as back then, when I had my first bout with her . When we tested her for the graduation compet.i.tion . "

The reason why he didn't hold back and instead used his full strength . It was because his blood was boiling after they started fighting .
