Prior to their lot-arrival, another yet annoying quarrel was just starting. Since Keisuke and Takahiro came in different cars, each wanted Rin in his stead presence. Thank goodness Aigasaki was able to come up with a plan just in the nick of eye piercing. But was it going to work?, wondered Rintaro. Her mind was getting tired and no sooner than later did she seem like she was going to burst. "Okay here's what you'll do". Both of you are going to decide who's getting my bff using rock paper scissors. The one who wins takes Rin to wherever you're going, and the loser takes me back home."

Merumi's voice was full of joy tampered with mischief as she looked at her best friend. To Haruno, it sounded like a competition in which she would be the price. But to the boys, this was War and without hesitation their hands were forthwardly brought out in clenched fist poses. With eyebrows significantly raised, their eyes burnt with flames born of pride from the sun's fiery heat. They neither twitched nor blinked for even a twinkle tap in time. She was finally starting to get impressed by Aigasaki's idea. "Three, two, one and go!," shouted Rin, drenched in a tingling feeling similar to that of a cold river reed. In the swift mere glimpse of an eye, it was all over. Takahiro clinged his finger-scissors into Keisuke's now frail soft hand-paper. Rintaro knew what that meant so she hugged Aigasaki and pressed a thoughtful smile towards Keisuke. After getting her purse and phone, she waved "goodbye" and settled in the comforting merlot red back seat of the white limo. Seat belts strapped in, both cars took off in different directions.

An ominous silence lingered between Takahiro and Rintaro until she started to talk. "Oh uhm, i was wondering where exactly are we headed?". He turned to her, gave a short glance and smiled. "It's a surprise", as he continued to look outside the window. She just looked dumbfounded at the response. "Couldn't he have just touched a topic at the very least?, it's already awkward as it is," she thought, while working up her curiosity about the surprise. When she pondered outside the window, her eyes were bespectacled by the dashing night. A dazzlingly breathtaking sky shone a fleeting hundred stars glowing like a glistening sea on a golden sunset. She was left numb gazing upon one of the newly beseeched wonders of the world. But it was as ephemeral as it was majestic, and soon enough, she was fast asleep. Akamaru enjoyed the innocent and cute sight of Rin in slumber for as plenty as he could. Just the touch of her frail soft hand and her smooth skin dawned with pink lips made his body quiver with unrestrained excitement.

Later on when she woke up, her sleep-worn eyes could barely see anything. The sight came in slowly catching the view of some sort of mountain where everything appeared dark. Fear grasped her heart and at the same time, she checked to see if her companion was still awake. Pleasantly enough he noticed the scared look painted on her face to assure a needed answer.

Takahiro.... _Oh, you're awake. Don't worry, we're seconds away from reaching our final destination._

Rintaro just kept quiet and nodded while forcing herself to trust in him. After passing a few trees and bushes or so, she glimpsed the sight of two guards clad in red and golden uniforms holding large guns. The closer they got, the more the ineluctably beautiful view amazed her wondered eyes. A huge rose red gate came in sight adorned with a golden _Kohryu_ dragon. On both sides were pale smoke white walls which were probably eight-nine meters tall. Due to the dark and smoky night, her eyes couldn't make out an ending in sight. All she could see were large trees tailed in a straight line, obviously planted and statued for decoration.

The guards appeared to be cold dressed in shock as they noticed Takahiro in the back seat with an open window and shouted "Open the gates!". There was a screeching sound followed by the click-opening of the iron gates. They bowed before Takahiro and said,"welcome back my lord". He gave back a cold smile, cast a death stare, and if their day had been going great, it sure changed from the looks of the frightened faces they now cuddled in. He seemed irritated enough to want to leave. Rin was stuck with a sparkling gaze enough to notice anything going on around. Her eyes widened crossing over the amazement before her.

In front was a ten meter wide and twenty meter long moth gray-white house, brick-layered built in the most amazing architectural designs she had ever seen. It was just as high as it was wide. The front porch was perfected with large white brick columns, splendidly designed in water chestnut thick floral-vine stripes. On the rear end corner of the house was an old phaeton purple carriage ornated in gold on the edges, and upfront a few walks from the gate lay a fenced garden full of acacias and red roses in full bloom. The house was covered under a garnet roof with large solar panels. They drove to the lot and parked under rose pink floral sheds. It was as big as Haruno's house and the cars on standby weren't cheap. She was excited and at the same time, a bit frightened. When the doors opened, she felt out of place enough to make her afraid of stepping on the red pavement. She heard screams coming from the front rosewood door upheld with the yells,"It's the fourth prince!, he's here!, everyone get out , the fourth prince is here!". Half a dozen maids came rushing towards Takahiro and Rintaro dressed in black and white uniforms. They bowed before him and said," Welcome back fourth prince Takahiro. She was quite confused with the words "fourth" as she simply looked from the back of Hiro. In a few seconds, a hoot came from the gate showing a black limousine illuminated by two front lights.
