"This…" Kid tried to say something but no words came out of his mouth. He didn't know what to say. Then, looking at Sirius just gulped and stayed silent.

"Don't worry," Ray sighed and turned to look at Sirius as he spoke, "You sure have gotten more cheery and opened up a lot more as well. Now, end this mischief and tell me what happened,"

"Okay," Sirius sighed as well and accepted his hand in everything. He walked to the rubble and sat on a big piece of stone as he spoke, "Some shape shifters attacked while Kid was on guard. They tried to pose as you and almost succeeded in fooling the others but Kid identified them,"

"After that, there was a fight and they turned out to be pretty strong. Therefore, Kid rang the bell and I helped. It was a nice fight as even I was able to execute my strengths completely. We killed the shape shifters and won. As for this rubble, it is the result of that fight," Sirius told.

"Okay. Let's go inside and discuss about it later. Also, I am happy that you are coming out of your shell but please act a but more mature," Ray said and walked back to the infirmary.

Now that everything was clear, he knew what happened and also had an idea where the shape shifters came from.

Walking go the infirmary gate. He looked at the medical logo and sighed. It was going to be tough from now on. After all, even new races were coming and they would have to try even harder and hurry even more because if stronger races came, they might not be able to survive.

"Sighhh," He sighed and opened the door. Looking ahead, he saw the same scene as before. Everyone laid out in groups as they talked and whispered.

However, there seemed to be more order to it and even the people seemed to be more calm. They didn't have that scared or panicked expression on their face.

Seeing the door open, they looked up and saw a person standing there. Since the entrance was a bit far from the hallway, they didn't recognize Ray and thought of him as a normal guard on duty.

"That's good," Ray thought and tapped the ground. The wind blew by as his figure blurred and disappeared. He made use of his extremely fast speed and disappeared from everyone's eyes.

He did so because he didn't want everyone crowding around and asking unnecessary question. It would get harder for him to control a crowd and it might endanger some people as well.

"Whoooshhh…" the wind stirred up in the corridors as Ray appeared there. He breathed out in relief and looked back as he saw everyone looking at the entrance and rubbing their eyes in disbelief.

Ray ignored them and walked to the head nurse's office. He would first report to her and tell her his findings and then conduct a meeting to tell everyone else about it.

Walking to the head nurse's office, he felt a familiar presence walking by. Looking up, he saw a girl with fair white skin and black hair streaked with silver walk over. Her face was graced with a smile as she seemed to be out of the world.

Carrying a small basket full of leaves in her hands, she walked around the corridor.

"Aella," Ray muttered as he felt his heart skip a beat. He remembered once again why he fell for her. Her fragrance made him dizzy as he wanted to go to her and just kiss her already.

And this was what he did. Not shying away from anything, Ray decided to express his love for her. His feet tapped against the ground and he appeared in front of her.

His dreamy black eyes looked into hers. A smile laded his face as he leaned forward and kissed her.

"Uhmm…Mhmmm…" At first, Aella felt quite worried being carried in someone's arms all of a sudden but seeing the face and smelling the familiar fragrance, she felt at ease.

For her, even if the man in front abducted her, she wouldn't mind. She loved him and was ready to die for him. Not only that but the way he came to her made her want to kiss him but sadly, she wasn't able to take the initiative.

However, it didn't hurt her too much. She would be kissing him anyways. As both of them kissed, they felt their hearts best in sync. Their lips pressed together as their bodies wrapped around one another, they felt the urge to lose themselves in the heat.

"Not here. Others are around," Grabbing control of herself, she used the transference technique to send a telepathic message to Ray.

"Others?" Ray thought and broke off from the kiss. Looking around, he saw a couple of girls looking at him with their cheeks all red.

"You made new friends?" As if the kiss never occurred, Ray asked Aella.

"Yep, I did," Aella spoke with difficulty. Her emotions were still in a mess and Ray's smell lingered in the air. Just breathing made it hard for her to control herself.

"I guess I should take it to the next step," She thought to herself and steeled her heart to take their relation to the next step. It was not the first time that they both had almost themselves in the best while they were just having a simple kiss.

"Please introduce me to them," Ray said with a cheeky smile that made Aella blush even more fiercely.

"Just what is wrong with his mind?" She thought and grabbed his arm, "I will meet up with you guys later. Byeee!" Bidding farewell to her friends, she grabbed his hands and dragged him away from there.

"What happened?" Ray asked.

"Well, you wanna know everyone more so I thought that I would let you know all that separately. After all, they are my friends and I know a lot about them," Aella spoke with a slight smile on her face.

However, behind that smile was a raging ocean of anger that Ray was about to get introduced to.

"Well, he will be having some fun," Inside his consciousness, Aurora, Mag'ladroth and FengFeng held buckets of popcorn and enjoyed the show as Ray suffered from a good dose of loveliness from Aella.

Meanwhile,

The others also entered the infirmary along with Sirius and they didn't try to act quite. They entered in a way that everyone was able to notice them. This was what Sirius had told them to do and they complied.

As for why he did, he was told to do so by Ray and Ray had his own reasons to say that. Therefore, they all just complied with what the leader instructed them to do.

A whole crowd gathered around them as they counted the total number of people.

"One person is missing," Someone from the crowd shouted.

Hearing that, everyone sighed in melancholy as right now, each person was better off being alive than dead. After all, these were tough times and more the people, the better it was.

"Hey everyone calm down," Seeing the atmosphere turning for the worst, Sirius shouted as he tried to calm them down, "No one is missing. Our leader Ray arrived before everyone else and is inside the infirmary. He will be here shortly to address to everyone and tell us all about what they found during the expedition," As Sirius clarified everything, the atmosphere turned to normal as everyone's hopes were restored once more.

"They sure show some brotherhood," Sirius thought as he navigated through the crowd and helped the rest of the team out as well.

They were all tired and needed a good rest. Therefore, Sirius had decided to let them rest for some time before gathering information about what they found.

Also, this wasn't the first team to arrive back from the expedition and the last team that arrived had provided a good amount of data too. That is why, Sirius wasn't too worried.

"Now, where is he?" Sirius thought as he turned to look at the hallways. Heading to the head nurse's office, Sirius reckoned for Ray to be there.

Knocking at the office. The head nurse owned the door as Sirius asked, "Is Ray here?"

"No, is he back?" The head nurse asked back with some surprise.

"He didn't meet you?" Sirius asked.

"No. He didn't come here," The head nurse replied.

"Strange. He planned to come here the first thing. Guess he might have gotten distracted by some work," Sirius said and walked back.

Walking through the hallways, he found a few girls giggling around. Knowing they were Aella's friends, he stopped and tried his luck as he asked, "Have you guys seen Aella?"

"Hehe… Aella? Yeah, her boyfriend arrived and they had a reunion. She took him away," The girls giggled as one of them narrated the story with her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Ohhh… okay. Thank you for telling," Listening to her, Sirius got an idea. Thanking the girls, he walked out of the hallway with a slight smile on his face.

"You have worked so hard brother. Enjoy for some time too," Sirius thought and wished Ray luck. Well, little did he know that Ray was having quite some enjoyment trying to calm Aella down.
