"No way can that be Ai!!! I have known her for so long, and she has never been able to say anything without stuttering!!!" Riku finally said overcoming her shock. Karasu looked at Riku. He took her by the shoulders. "Are you absolutely sure about that?!!"
Riku was a bit embarrassed by the fact that Karasu held her so closely, but she was angry by the fact that he was still obsessing over Ai. She pulled away. "Of course I'm positive. Ai has always stuttered her sentences out or has a look of embarassment on her face, so... Either she really can change overnight, or someone has taken control of her. What are your thoughts, Saishi? Saishi?" The two turned around to where Saishi was.
"He was just there! Where could he have gone to?!!!" Riku yelled. Karasu growled. "That damn vampire... He went to go play the game without us. I can't believe he truly meant what he said.. Oh man, I made a huge mistake!"
Riku was puzzled. "What are you talking about, Karasu?" Karasu sighed. "Well, I meant it when I said Saishi was my best friend; he may not think of me as so because you like me, but he was always my friend... And he's really good at analyzing problems and he can detect true identities pretty well. Maybe he knew about Ai.... Damn."
Riku bent down to Karasu. "It's okay... People make mistakes... So let's go into the forest and find Saishi, rescue Ai, and win Tsukino's game. Ok?" As she smiled, Karasu looked up. Hm... She really is beautiful... I can see the beauty you see in her, Saishi. I just couldn't see the inner beauty before, he thought to himself. He quickly gained his form. "Um... since when are you the innocent one?" Karasu asked. Riku scrunched her face. "Well, if that's how you feel about it, fine!!! I was just trying to make you feel better!!!"
As she stomped off to her tent, Karasu was still blushing. "No... I like Ai... But Riku's so beautiful.... Ugh..." he groaned to himself.
