The next day, Akari woke up early and decided to wander around and look for food and things that they could use
While searching in a bush, she saw a girl cut a tree in half with just one drop of water "hey akari, what are you doing here?" Kaito asked as he suddenly appeared beside her
"Kaito!?" Akari asked shocked by his sudden appearance "oh sorry, didn't mean to scare you" kaito said "so what are you doing here?" Kaito asked
"I was just searching for food when i saw that girl cut that tree in half with just a drop of water" akari replied as she stared back to the girl but was now gone
"Where did she go" akari asked as she started looking around for her "i think she went that way" kaito replied pointing to a nearby field
"Lets follow her" akari said as she started walking not waiting a response from kaito "wait what about kenji and amaya?" Kaito asked as he followed her
"Don't worry we'll be back before they notice anything" akari replied. Soon the two reached the field but couldn't find the girl
"Where did she go?" Akari asked as she started looking around "i don't know" kaito replied
After a few minutes of searching, the two decided to head back when akari suddenly tripped and fell on top of kaito
The two stared at each other as their fave begin to heat up from how close they were "oh sorry, i wasn't looking where I was going" akari apologized as she began to get up when kaito pulled her back causing their lips to touch
The two were frozen in shock from the kiss while their faces turned red "oh im sorry" akari said as she finally got up
"No, im sorry" kaito replied as he got up too, the two walked back in silence as they were still shocked from the accidental kiss
Soo the two arrived back at the camp where amaya and kenji just got up "morning, where have you two been?" Kenji asked as he got up and glanced at them
"Just went to look for food" akari replied still flustered "what's with the flustered faces?" Amaya asked having noticed their flushed faces
"Its nothing" kaito replied looking away to hide his blush "ok sure" kenji and amaya said suspiciously
Akari then sat down next to amaya, still flustered "what happened when you were gone?" Amaya whispered quitely glancing at kaito and kenji
"Its nothing, don't worrry" akari replied as she tried to distract herself from thinking about the kiss by getting ready to cook breakfast
"Ok then" amaya sighed as she helped akari roast the corn on the fire they built last night. Soon they finished cooking and began serving the corn
"Sorry if this isn't much cause were running out of supplies" amaya said as she handed out the corn to the others
"Its ok we'll stock up more supplies later" kenji replied as he took a bite from his corn. After finishing the food, they began to pack up and continue their journey
"Remember to watch out for guards of solana and blend in" kenji said as they kept walking
Soon they see a hill and began climbing it "look! I can see a village from here" amaya said as she pointed at a village from the distance
"That's where were going" kenji said "thats where your mother grew up, akari" kenji said as he glanced at her
"Wait really?!" Akari asked, looking at the village "yeah, that's her home" kenji replied smiling
The four of they began to head down the hill, going to the village. Soon they finally reached the village
It was now nearly night as the sun began to set, the village was filled with colorful lanterns hanging above
"Looks like we arrived just in time for the dragon festival" kenji said as they began walking around the village
The village was filled with food stalls around for people to eat and stalls that sell clothing and accessories
"Why don't you three look around" kenji said as he begins walking away "I'll be looking for a place where we can stay so don't get lost" kenji added as he left
"Where do you guys want to go?" Akari asked as they began looking at the stalls "I'll go buy some food" amaya said as she left
"I'll just come with you akari" kaito said as the two of them began to look around the stalls
Soon the two ended up on a stall that sells bracelets similar to Akari's "hey Akari, that bracelet looks just like the one that your wearing" kaito said as he noticed the bracelet and began pointing at it
"Your right" akari said as she realized that both look exactly the same except for the crystal charm that kaito added to her bracelet
"I think this is were i brought your bracelet" kaito said as he began looking at the bracelets with different colors
"Hello dear, do you want to buy something" a woman's voice interrupted them "oh we were just looking around" akari replied
The woman's eyes widened a bit as she saw Akari a hint of familiarity "hello there dear" the woman said, still shocked
The woman seemed to be in her 30's with long black hair and wearing a sun pattern kimono
Her eyes reminded akari of a person she once knew but couldn't remember who it was
Akari suddenly froze as she looked at the kimono, really looked. The kimono seemed oddly familiar even though she hadn't been in solana before
"Um hello" akari replied "we just came to look around" kaito added "hey there you two" kenji interrupted as he returned
"What are you doing?" He asked as he approached them "oh we were just looking around" akari replied
Kenji looked confused at their widened eyes and saw the vendor of the bracelet and he too froze, as a hint of familiarity flashed in his eyes
