Gou, Katana and Shinki came into the tent. Shu was already asleep and Lui was listening to music. "Hey are you guys alright?" Gou asked approaching to Lui. Lui simply nodded as he took away his headphones. He looked at Shu who was sleeping soundly his hair was over his eyes making the scar invisible.

Shinki smiled as he saw Lui was observing Shu. "He seem to be really upset when Kazuki asked that"

Katana agreed. "Anyone would be. It's his private life. "

Gou nodded. "Yeah and Lui I'm proud of you. You did the right thing"

Lui narrowed his eyes. "You talk like you're my dad"

Gou smiled. "Nah... I'm your dad like friend"

Shinki yawned. "Seeing him sleeping like that makes me sleepy"

The others nodded as they lay down on their sleeping bags and drifted into sleep. But Lui couldn't sleep. He just kept thinking about the incident. The scar, one of the things he repents  most in his life but how he can erase that grave mistake from his life. Something that Lui really didn't know. The Sun rays crept inside the tent. Lui slowly opened his eyes. Others were still asleep as he sat down rubbing his eyes. He was about to stand up when Gou called him. "Your up already?" Lui nodded.

Shinki sat down as Katana opened his eyes yawning to the back of his hand. "Good morning" both of them muttered.

Shu was the last to get up. He yawned as he stretched his hands. Then he rubbed his eyes looking at the others. "Good morning" he greeted as the others greeted back well of course except for Lui.

"So are you okay?"Gou asked the boy.

Shu raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? "

"About the last night" Gou muttered.

Shu made an "o" sound as he nodded. "Yeah I'm fine"

No-one said anything more as they sat in silence. "O..Kay? This is awkward?" Katana said breaking the silence.

Shinki giggled. "Yeah that's right we're like freaking idiots just staring at each other "

Lui just let out an annoyed huff as he stood up leaving the tent.

"I think we should go out too" Gou said as the other three agreed.

The four of them walked out. Shu stretched his hands breathing the fresh air. He looked around the others were walking to take their breakfast. Shu let out a sigh as he walked to his tent to get dressed. When he reached the place some of them were already eating and Kazuki is bullying another kid. Shu watched as Gou walk to them and help the kid. He said something to Kazuki making him frown and storm away. A smile perked up on the albino's lips as he saw the tall no storming away. At least he can have a peaceful breakfast now.

Shu took his food and looked around to find a place to sit. That's when Shu felt someone dragging him to a table and soon he was sitting right in front of Lui Shirasagi who is right now glaring daggers at him.

Shu looked at the person who dragged him there. He met with a green haired boy who was smiling. "You can sit with us" Shinki said.

Shu frowned. "I... uh... I mean how do... umm... okay?"

Katana chuckled. "Dont worry we'll make sure Lui won't kill you"

"That is a relief" Shu said looking at the boy in front of him.

Lui didn't tell a word as he start eating. The others started chatting with each other while Shu rested his chin on his hand picking up his food. He didn't felt hungry. So he just kept thinking about his friends.

"Earth to Shu Kurenai" Shinki yelled.

Shu snapped out of his dream world as he turned his head to him. "What?"

"Seriously" Gou talked. "What are you thinking about?"

Shu shook his head as he looked at his food again. They all finished their food as the teacher called them.

"Okay students we'll do a little game. All of the teams would be given a map and you'll have to find the thing you have to" then she started to give maps to the groups.

Gou took theirs as he carefully studied it. "We have to find a plant kinda look like this" he said showing them a photo.

"Okay" Katana talked. "Why do they need plants. Are we going to make a magical medicine or something like that?"

Shinki chuckled playing along. "It's for our potion class, if we didn't find the correct one, Snape would kill us"

Shu smiled as a warm feeling rose upon his heart. A feeling he missed for few days. The feeling of friendship.

"Okay you two dorks, let's go" Gou said taking the lead.

"Is this even necessary " Lui muttered as he walk with the gang.

"Yeah it is" Katana replied as Lui gave a glare that shut him up.

They walked for an hour. "I can't see anything" Shu said looking around.

"I'm exhausted" Shinki complained sitting on a log beside him. Others soon joined him. They all took their water bottles and started to drink like they haven't drink water for an eternity.

"I can't do this" Shinki complained.

Gou sighed. "Come on guys let's go, remember? Snape would kill us" they all forced themselves to get up and dragged their bodies following Gou.

Lui took his headphones as he started to listen to his music. Shu just watched him. "Is he serious?" He thought. "Listening to music in the middle of a forest " Shu followed them and Lui wasn't watching where he was going and soon they came to a place where the road divide into two roads. Gou studied the map as he took the right road but Lui didn't pay much attention for the others so he tuned left. Shu was the last one to follow them so be followed Lui thinking others went the same way.

It didn't take Shu to realize something was wrong. He walked pass Lui to find the others. But found nothing. "Something is wrong" he muttered as he looked at Lui. He walked to him and took away his headphones.

Lui slapped his hands away and took it back. "What do you want?"

Shu pointed ahead of them. "Where are the others?"

Lui looked around starting to panic when he realize that Shu was right. "How should I know? "

"GOU!!! SHINKI!!!! KATANA!!!! GUYS" Shu yelled cupping his hands before his mouth.

They waited but no answer. Lui looked around again and quickly took out another map from his bag for his relief it was still there. He thanked his teacher mentally for giving them two maps. He looked at it trying to figure out where he well they were.

Lui turned his head to Shu. "Any ideas where we are?"

Shu looked at the map over Lui's shoulder. "Uh... Lui that's not the right map its not our road "

Lui turned his gaze toward the map. "What?? But the teacher said this us ours"

Shu shrugged. "What should we do now? "

"Why are you asking about it from me?"Lui snapped.

"Because you and I are the only people here" Shu explained.

Lui realized that he was telling the truth. "No way I'm stuck with you now. I'm killing myself"

Shu huffed. "As if I like to be stuck with you" Shu sighed. "Lets walk back on this road it will take us to the camp at least"

Lui nodded. They walked for few minutes but everywhere looked the same. There was no hint of there friends. "Okay" Shu said. "We're lost"

Lui gave him an annoyed look. "Seriously now you realize it?"

"Come on I had a little hope at least we aren't" Shu groaned as he leaned to a tree.

They stood their for few minutes which felt like hours to Shu. Then he felt something cold on his skin soon followed by more raindrops started to fall from the sky.

Lui looked up at the sky muttering something. Shu reached his hand out to feel the coldness when the water touched his skin.

"Come on" Lui said walking forward. "We have to find someplace to stay away from the rain"

Shu nodded as he quickly followed the flame haired boy. They walked for few moments as the rain drops started to drop faster and the air got chilly. The forest become much darker even though it was still the noon. Shu shivered as he felt rain soak him wet.

Lui looked the same but he seem to be okay.

"Aren't you cold?" Shu asked trying to stop his teeth from chartering.

Lui turned to Shu who was now shivering violently. "Not that much but I think you are"

Shu nodded as he hugged himself to get away from the coldness. "There"Lui pointed toward a cave as he took Shu's hand and started running toward it. In no time they were inside it and safe from the rain.

Shu looked around observing the cave as he sat down from pure exhaustion. "I-I think t-this would do"

Lui looked at Shu and sat down beside him. "You are soaking wet "

"So do you" Shu replied.

"But I'm not shivering and shuddering" Lui pointed out.

Shu gave him a light smile as he hugged his knees resting his chin on them. "Rain isn't my thing"

"I can see that" Lui said.

They sat in silent for a few moment. After a while Lui felt something on his shoulder he turned his head to see Shu Kurenai his biggest enemy resting his head on his shoulder. He seem to be asleep. Lui tensed but relaxed again not wanting to wake him up. He observed Shu's sleeping face. He was still shivering from the coldness. His hair was over his eyes like the last night. Lui reached his hand to Shu's hair, moving his bangs away from his scar. He gazed at his scar for few minutes. He pang of guilt rose through his heart. He did this to him. He was the reason. He took his hand away making the bangs fall into the previous position covering his scar. Lui took out his phone to see whether they were lucky enough to have signal to take a call but luck wasn't on their side.

Shu began to stir as he slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Lui right in the eye before realizing what he was doing he quickly took his head away mumbling a sorry as he look away.

Lui turned his head. "This is the time" he thought. "Shu" he called.

Shu met his gaze. He was surprised to see Lui talking in a soft tone. He usually talk to him in a mocking tone. "Hmm" Shu hummed.

"I need to tell you something" Lui said.

"Yeah sure" Shu said curious look in his face.

"I'm sorry" he said his voice almost silent.

Shu looked up with a slightly confused face. "Huh? "

"I'm sorry for scarring your eye. I swear I didn't mean to do that. It was just an accident and I suffered it from as you did. I couldn't escape from my conscience. I repent every day. I really didn't mean to do this I'm sorry"

Shu listened as Lui spoke those words. The words he thought he'd never hear from him. From Lui Shirasagi. The cold hearted blader. Shu was surprised to talk he didn't know what to tell he didn't know what the right words were but before he could Lui talked again.

"It's okay if you can't forgive me I know its hard"

Shu shook his head. "No I.. I was thinking. I never thought out of all people you would apologize to me. I mean I never thought..." he stopped looking at Lui in the eye. "I forgive you"

Lui gave him a smile one of the most rarest things you can see from him.

"So you can smile after all" Shu said playfully.

"Of course I can you dummy" Lui said frowning again. "Whom do you think I am? A robot?"

"Yeah kind of, I thought you're a robot" Shu agreed. "So Lui does this means our grudge is over"

Lui looked at the red eyes of Shu the hopeful look of it. He should be the one who must be asking friendship from him. Lui talked. "I'm not totally good with you but friends doesn't sounds bad "

Shu smiled giving his hand. "Lets start fresh then. Hi I'm Shu Kurenai you can call me Shu and I never thought I would be friends with you but I'm happy to be friends"

Lui took his hands slightly shaking it. "Okay I'm Lui and nice to me friends with you"

"Aww that sounds cold" Shu pouted looking at the Violet eyed boy.

"That's who I am deal with it" he simply said.

Shu narrowed his eyes mimicking his voice. "That's how I am deal with it"

"What did you say?" Lui half yelled at him.

Shu shrugged. "What?" As he burst out laughing.
