Keisuke.... _E-er r-Rin, you're kinda scaring us. I-Is there something wrong?_

Rintarõ.... _Oh sorry i just spaced out a little._

She retained her question, seconding what would happen if she were to outright announce how two idiot princes let their identities get revealed by choice. Ayami Inata would definitely eat them with endless confusing words, that was a given. Returning to her first idea was the safest action.

Rintarõ.... _Uhh Ayami, i'm gonna go take a bath now. Thank you for the food._

Ayami.... _Ohh, you're welcome. See you later._

She strode a short bow and walked out. Steps near the hallway entrance, Keisuke chanced out the kitchen and followed her. He sighed like a prisoner freed from solitary confinement and walked beside Rin headed to his room.

Both drowned in silence either expecting a conversation-starter. "S-So Kei, are you going to tell me what Kisami wanted to say?"

Keisuke.... _Oh right that!, i'm not sure it's worth even saying._

Rintarõ.... _Keiiii, what did we say about no more secrets?. Don't tell me you still intend to keep more from me?_

Keisuke.... _N-no not really!, ok i promise to tell after you finish bathing. If i told you now you might become too sad to go._

Rintarõ.... _H-Huh, hmph ok you better not lie and ditch me like last time._

The young prince simply nodded and continued walking until they reached their destinations. He went into a passage leading to the bedrooms after leaving Haruno at the bathroom door. She pushed opened only to find someone already inside.

"Rinny is that you!?, if it is don't mind me just use the bathtub," princess Kiyohime was busy facing the shower with soap covering her eyes. "Oh ok thanks!," Rin replied back taking off her clothes and jumping into the tub. After removing the bubbles covering her face, Kiyo started talking all about her day's events 'till they both finished. Apparently Takami had already passed the info about everything he heard in the library.

But for someone who had been told about her family's messed up past and present, she barely reacted with emotion. All she did was laugh and quiet down a bit until she parted ways with Haruno and went back to her room. To Rin, each person in the family was affected someway or the other. That included Kiyo who seemed to have been emotionless about most things. The way she laughed meant her ears had probably overheard the whole messed up story a long time ago. Finally understanding Keisuke's family, she couldn't help but release a deep sigh. Hands on the doorknob, she opened the guest room, changed and right away slammed herself on the bed.

After getting excited about knowing Senami many times and maybe further her emotions, she felt even more further away from him.

"The world of an imperial prince is huge," she whispered in sigh.

"No kidding, but if you've lived in it like i did, you'd be surprised to find it suffocating and small," a deep voice came from the door. Kei was standing a bit slouchy while leaning against the door.

Rintarõ.... _Ah! Keisuke!_

Keisuke.... _Ta-daa, i came as promised._

Rintarõ.... _How'd you know i was done?, and what if you had charged in and seen me..... you know!?~_

Keisuke.... _Uhh, haha i'm not sure i'd like to think about what would happen next. Anyway, do you still wanna hear that worthless story?_

Rintarõ.... _Yesss! In fact take a chair and start telling me._

Putting on a bossy attitude, she pointed towards the dresser. The once prince and now servant did as said no questions asked. He tried sitting near the bed but suddenly she pushed his chair a bit further from him. Even She was shocked by her own actions. Senami quietly went along with it and gazed at her.

Keisuke..... _So, after Takami overhead your conversation with Ayami, he looked for me, woke up Hiro and dragged crying Kisami from his room. He explained everything to us and i was surprised about some things i didn't know. When finished, he went on his knees to apologize for his rudeness before. We thought that was all but the boy is unbelievably scary and mature. He stared at us and started giving us a scolding about how beating ourselves with the past won't help. Like Kisami who can't play the piano because he's still shocked over mom's death. Or me and Hiro who keep fighting over something that's already happened. "It's not your fault, so you should all patch up and, you Kisami! stop crying over useless things and start playing the damn piano nicely," he yelled more harshly than i'm making it sound. I wasn't sure it was the same little 14 year old Takami. Done he just dashed out saying something about telling Kagami as well. That's why we had those sad faces earlier._

Rintarõ.... _Ohh... umm Kei, there's something i wanna ask. If you're not supposed to let anyone know, then why'd you tell Dr Akane that you're princes at the hospital?_
