"That's all you had to say instead of ignoring my question." Arlena rolled her eyes at him.
"Don't mess with nature too much." She said without looking at him. Not that she really cared about Darkwood that much anymore, the song could be heard through the shadow realm as well and it was quite irritating.

Rikuto crossed his arms and watched Arlena talk to the boy, from the Shadow World.
He was slightly annoyed that he hadn't gotten an answer from her when he had greeted her, so he just waited.
Arlena scoffed and decided to re-enter the other world. "Rikuto? Sorry I didn't answer you.. there was somebody messing with the forest." The voice echoed throughout the realm, only to be heard by Rikuto himself. I hope he isn't mad at me.
Arlena smiled and her hand grabbed his and she held it without asking.
"Did you sleep well? If you want we can return back to the real world. Just one day away from them made me feel refreshed. I guess I just needed a break from all the commotion." She asked, unsure if he wanted to stay or not. It was pretty lonely here, but she wasn't if she had Rikuto with her.
I play the flute again, this time causing flowers to grow around me. This time, the melody was more, enchanting, then it was last time. It was soft, and played with slurs and the notes changed ever so slowly.

"I had a great sleep, how about you?" he responded, a little surprised when she grabbed his hand suddenly, but he held hers and didn't pull away.
"I don't mind, let's do what you want to do, alright?" Rikuto smirked, showing he was perfectly fine. "I'm okay as long as I can still hang out with you."
Arlena smiled and she grabbed his hand, pulling him out of the shadow realm and back into the real world. All the colors exploded in their faces since they were used to seeing black and white.
"What a change, right?" She asked, looking up at him endearingly. She gripped his hand tighter.
"Quite a change of scenery." Arlena said as she gripped his hand.
As they walked through the forest, she noticed Satoshi with his katana ready to kill somebody.
"What the.."
