Haru cringed at his words and questions he had no answers for. He could only hold onto him. He wanted to tell him to stop saying such things. It wouldn't make his sister happy now. Seeing him so miserable would probably hurt her. But if he said such things... he shuddered to think of the reaction the blonde would have.

Haru spun the blonde around and hugged him again, murmuring soft words of comfort. 'Prince of Kiiro or not, I've gotten to know him, I care for him. He doesn't deserve the pain he's going through.'

Ethan glared at him while Cynder growled, his mane bursting out. The raven haired trainer smirked mentally. This would not take long.

Navi zipped after him, squeaking, "Wait for me!"

Haru stayed silent, but nodded slowly, tightening his grip as much as he could without harming him.

Ethan and Cynder glanced at each other before nodding. They had to get rid of the rest of the Rockets and with that thought, they raced up to the next floor.

Navi looked up, grimacing at the spider-like creatures clinging on the walls. "Unless you have a way to get rid of those, I don't we can go up yet..."

Cynder gave a small smirk in response, watching them go before blowing out a cloud of smoke, waiting for his trainer. Ethan came up moments later, a faint smile on his lips. The firestarter grinned, knowing things turned out a little better.

Navi peered down through the web, then glanced at him, "That's a long way's down, but somehow I think we're going to have to get down there somehow." She looked around then perked when she noticed the vines snaking up a wall. "Hey! You can use these vines to climb up to the next level!"

Haru flinched at the request. He couldn't be serious, could he? He knew he missed his sister, but to want to die to bring her back? That was bordering on insanity! ...No, no it wasn't. If Haru was in Len's place, he'd probably ask for the same thing. Quickening his pace, he knew the other didn't notice him, so he stayed quiet. Instead, he wrapped his arms around him and hugged him tightly.

Navi looked around cautiously, "Be careful." She said softly. "We don't know what to expect."

Ethan felt himself blush a faint red, but a faint smile formed on his lips. "...I won't." he murmured.

Haru came inside the church just in time to hear Len's confession. His eyes widened in shock and he paled. Prince of Kiiro?! Len was the Prince of Evil?! It made sense, now that he thought about it. There had been subtle hints. Under any other circumstances, Haru would have been angry beyond belief. But hearing the sorrow and pain in the blonde's voice made his heart feeling like it was breaking. He wanted nothing more than to comfort him and that's what he was going to do as he silently started walking towards him.

Navi shivered slightly, but she was determined to help. They would save the Great Deku Tree.

Haru gave a grateful smile before running off to find the missing blonde.

Ethan gasped softly before he gently pressed back against the kiss. It was strange, it was not love. It was more of an...understanding. A comforting gesture.

"What a brat." She mumbled. As soon as they got to the area of the guardian of the forest, she floated forward, "Great Deku Tree! I'm back!" she called.

"Upstairs. With Cynder." He mumbled, not looking at him. He didn't have an answer for his earlier question, because he didn't know the reason himself.

"Huh?" The brunette looked around, suddenly getting worried. 'Hearing the news must have reminded him of losing his sister...' "I don't know, but I have to find him!"

Navi followed, smiling smugly to herself. The so called 'boss' of the kokiri couldn't deny Link entry now. He had what he needed.

When hearing about Silver's past, Ethan had been shocked to the core. 'No wonder he was like the way he was...' he thought. He felt confused when the redhead mentioned they had met before, three years ago. Then startled when he heard it was because of the legendary time traveler, Celebi. But when he heard that the other wanted to leave, he couldn't accept that. Not now. So he held onto him, keeping him from leaving.

Navi shook her head, smiling slightly. This was going to be interesting.

"This is not what I wanted, Gaku and you know that." Haru said sharply. "I never wanted anyone else to die. I wanted him to see justice, but I didn't want another death!"

"Just my way of showing that I...don't hate you." Ethan said softly, almost unsurely. "I... have said horrible things, you really didn't deserve them..." What he didn't mention is that he had slowly been having strange feelings for the other trainer and he wouldn't admit that, not now.

Haru's eyes widened in shock before they softened slightly with an unreadable emotion, "Oh..." He said slowly. "I see."
