Tsubasa flicked through a book, his eyes flashing to the window every minute or so before they lowere down to the book again.

"Are you okay? You keep looking at my window. I mean, I know this isn't your world..." I dropped the pencil, glancing at my soduku puzzle before shutting the book.

"There's others."

"....what?"

My god, his voice...it's more beautiful then in the show. I wonder how Kyoya sounds, then?

"There's others. Others who got stuck here. And elsewhere."

"WHAT?" I shrieked. Tsubasa, alarmed, shot up and clamped his tanned hand around his mouth.

"Keep it down," he whispered in a low tone. "We don't want your brother walking in now, do we? I need you to come with me."

His gaze, so steady, so calming. There was a nagging voice at the back of my mind. This could be a dream. If you follow him, you could actually be sleep-walking.

But....I can trust him, can't I? I know almost everything about him. And I can't exactly refuse an offer by Tsubasa Otori!

I pulled his hand away from my mouth, meeting his expectant gaze. "I'll go. Buuuuuuutt...Kellin first."

Geez, his confused face is adorable!

I chuckled, swiping my iPod off the table and waving it in his face. "Thy must go nowhere without Kellin," I said before storing the device in my pocket. "Let's go."

Tsubasa pursed his lips, choosing not to question it as he carefully opened the door. I tensed, tugging at his arm as he made his way over to the stairs.

"Garage," I hissed, digging my fingers into my arm and jutted my chin in the other direction.

He nodded, following after me into my former bedroom. I jangled with the keys for a few moments before a soft click was heard. "Got it."

Tsubasa went first, ducking into the light drizzle. I worriedly glanced down at my feet before stepping out after him, the rain making dark splotches on my grey shirt.

"Where are the rest?" I asked, carefully picking my way through the pavement as the rocks dug into the botttom of my feet.

Tsubasa pointed upwards at the house across from mine.

"Vita's house? I mean, I know she left a few days ago-"

"Be quiet!" Tsubasa drew himself into the bush, but not before he pressed a finger to my lips and nodded to my right.

Tylen was coming, his eyes focused on the ground.

Oh.

I waved awkwardly to him, and he merely nodded in my direction before heading down the steps.

"All clear," I murmured, then held in a yelp as Tsubasa grabbed my wrist and darted up the stairs before heading to the back of Vita's house. "No need to drag me!"

"Is this Rio?"

I froze.

The question had come from a man seated at the edge of the table, his pirate golden eyes glimmering in the slight darkness cast by the clouds and the roof.

"K-"

"My, you know my name already!" he grinned, leaning forward to ruffle my hair. "I like her." I stiffened even more as Kishan's hand touched my hair, falling into a chair.

I never expected him to be here...

"Sky's clear," someone commented, and my blue-gray eyes rushed to him. Dark, purple skin, narrow lavender eyes, and snow-white hair.

What only confirmed who I think he was, was the midnight-black big cat at his side.

I couldn't resist. I dropped into a bow, knowing that if I got on his bad side, I would, no doubt, be sliced apart by his blades. "The drow Ranger...Drizzt."

"You know me," he sounded somewhat surprised. "Not many people know my story."

I drew myself back up again, sheepishly rubbing the back of my neck. "You're like my book idol," I confessed.

Guenhwyvar, the panter, stepped forward and butted its head into my leg. Relucantly, I lowered myself and hesitantly patted its head.

"The birdkids are back," there was a smacking sound, and I jumped, my gaze lifting from the claw that just whacked into the table into a face I knew, adored, and cried over.

Greed scowled in my direction, clearly not in the mood for me before jerking his chin to the sky.

"They are," Tsubasa said, gazing into the sky. The few flecks of rain that was coming down splattered on his face, but he didn't seem to notice.

Two huge shadoww descended.

At one point, I'm gonna faint....I feel dizzy.

I clutched the edge of the table as Iggy and Fang folded their wings. Fang looked as dark as ever, his jet-black hair flopping into his oynx-colored eyes.

Iggy himself didn't look like he was blind, unless you could tell from his pale blue eyes he was. And seeing (ha, pun) the way he soared in the sky, people who didn't know him would guess he could see.

Iggy crossed his arms, his eyes seemingly focused on me.

"Drake and Jasher are waiting down at the beach. They found something," Fang stated. "Now, is this Rio?"

"I am." I said proudly, straightening.

"She doesn't look like much, does she?" Greed asked, clearly bored.

I huffed, sending a thin curtain of hair flying out of my face. "Before I decide to go all crazy- both anger and fangirl- can someone tell me what the hell is going on?"

.....

I got crappy at the end, I know.
