THE HOODED ONE'S POINT OF VIEW.
It is a bright morning.
It it is almost unbelievable that I stroll into a busy bar,
-If not for my assignment, I would never have come near someplace as rowdy as this-
As I walk in, I first look around me for a few minutes,
I am observing my surroundings with utmost scrutiny.
Several eyes regard me questionably.
-Not that it matters to me-
I walk to the counter absolutely feigning oblivion at the staring,
-Besides; I'm all too used to expressions like these-,
I sigh as the serving girl requests for my order.
"Blue stream water will do…" I mumble.
She is particularly curious about how my face looks like under the hood, she tries so hard to peer,
-Can't she tell that I can see her?-
"Anything wrong?" I ask in irritation;
"Oh…no, nothing" she flushes red in embarrassment, and hurries along, she turns back suddenly,
"Sorry…what did you ask for?" she asks shyly,
I sigh in annoyance;
-Are there really idiots everywhere?-
"I asked for blue stream water"
She nods quickly and scampers away,
-Blue stream water is the only thing I can trust taking in a place like this-
"Blue stream water?... you're really still crazy about health and vitality huh?"
-That voice is too familiar-
I turn to see another hooded person who takes his hood off rather dramatically;
"Hood-stuff…" he intones cheerfully while motioning at his hood,
"I've followed your trend Hood…"
The only person who called me Hood was;
-Fenice-.

**********.
RAVE'S POINT OF VIEW.
My eyes slowly open to screeching and screaming.
-I am already used to hearing such frightening sounds-
It is morning, and I am hesitant to get up as I have not slept so comfortably in a while,
However;
-The dangerous noises everywhere, make me want to reconsider lying down around- ,
I feel another body's warmth.
My arms are tenderly wrapped around this other body;
-CAMADA?!- ,
I spring up instantly.
My cheeks burning;
-Why did we sleep together?; more importantly; why so intimately?-
I glance at her briefly.
-She looks so peaceful-
The rays of light bathe her sleeping body; she looks quite;
-LOVELY?!-
I jerk out of my intrusive thoughts.
What kind of stupid thing to think is that?,
-But-,
Her small, figure, green cascading hair lying around her and calm features contribute to make her look...
I sigh and stretch, while looking up at the large grey sky.
-Wasn't it sunny a few minutes ago?-
I mentally access just how much time I have left here;
-Six more days-,
Camada stirs and sits up yawning;
"Morning" she greets casually,
-I feel my cheeks become hotter, as I shamefully remember how intertwined we were minutes ago-
I'll make sure to tighten my voice so she doesn't remember anything-
"Morning" I greet back, she stands up.
"Do you think we can find some water? I don't think I can stand any more thirst" she asks,
I nod while responding;
"We would have moved now anyways so we'll keep our eyes out along the way".
She gives me some weird look;
"Do you feel better?"
-The memory hits me!; last night I was all emotional and so she embraced me to calm me down, eventually we ended up sleeping closely together-,
I sigh heavily.
-I have not felt so ashamed in a while-
RAVE'S POV END.
************
CAMADA'S POINT OF VIEW.
I never imagined that Rave could look so red.
"I hope I didn't discomfort you too much" he mutters quietly, -His voice is much softer now-
"No, not at all..." I quickly say while remembering how sullen he was last night.
"Come on, we should get a move on before some monster gets to us first",
He appears relieved that I'm stylishly diverting from the matter .
"Yeah…let's".
CAMADA'S POV END.
*************
THE HOODED ONE'S POINT OF VIEW.
"Let me guess... you were sent to capture me AGAIN right?" Fenice asks good-naturedly,
I just stare at him.
-Nothing has really changed about him-;
That same smallish structure, maroon hair that he started growing out, and forest green pupils.
My eyes study the large scar upon his left cheek,
-A scar inflicted by me-
"But…? You're not here to do that are you?" he questions with a confident smile on his face;
I sigh defeatedly;
"You're right…I'm not going to capture you…" I state decisively;
"Aw…has the system decided to give me another chance?" he taunts,
"That's impossible…you've done too much damage to be forgiven" I undertone,
He laughs and says;
"I knew somebody was coming for me…I knew that somebody would come to my favorite bar...I didn't just know that the somebody was gonna be you…I might have brought a souvenir from my recent journeys for ya",
-Pause-
"Be glad it's me" I mumble simply,
"I'm gonna say it again…forget about that stupid Reformation dream you have…"
"Stupid?...the reformation isn't stupid" he cuts me in snappily while snatching away the water brought for me,
"Fenice…please, enough of this", my tone is earnest,
Fenice stares at me hard for a few minutes.
"Hey Hood…why the hell are you acting like you're the sane one here?"
He asks with a maniacal smirk.
"Come on Hoodie…now that you've mastered the art of deception, don't mean anything".
He inches closer as he speaks, his voice low and direct.
I stand up.
-I'm not dealing with this rubbish right now-
"I don't know what you're talking about…just heed to my warnings, this will be the last time I'll let you off"
I begin to walk away, but he holds me back;
"It's okay…I know you better than you know yourself, that's what friends are for", he pauses;
"…You maniac"
-I flinch-
