---------------------
"A lost time... cannot be recovered again,"
"Isn't Time just a collection of human feelings?"
Heh. To be told of that from a brat, regardless of whatever age he was supposed to be; how uncool was that?
Kaito Daiki turned his head around as he watched Tsukasa and Yuusuke bickering amongst themselves as to which world they would visit after this. Yuusuke had been trying to convince Tsukasa to take them to the world where the other Kuuga and Agito lived. But Tsukasa didn't seem to be buying his reasoning as of yet.
He snorted to himself. That's Tsukasa for you. He wasn't one you can easily push around for your own needs. Yet somehow, in a way it was so cruel of him.
He caught Tsukasa's eye as the man silently asked him what was bothering him. Daiki just shrugged him off.
Besides, even if he could tell Tsukasa on what's bothering him... it's not like he could do anything about it. Since the one thing he wished for the most right now, would be something that he could never again retrieve back.
The old Tsukasa. The man he used to know in the past. That Kadoya Tsukasa.

It had been a few weeks since he had gone into hiding from Fourteen's grasp. He had contemplated on leaving the country; the Fourteen should not have that much influence on the rest of the world. He should be able to walk around without having to cast any suspicion on the people that he would meet, for fear of them being Fourteen's lackey. Well, maybe.
He had contemplated on that, but then his thoughts would return to his older brother. He wouldn't leave his brother like that and flee for himself, he needed to save his brother first! But how could he? He did not have the Rider powers like his brother's friend and they would not trust him anymore, after what he had done in the past. Even if he was as much a renegade like them, as the Fourteen has placed him under his wanted list for rebelling against them.
Daiki had been living out of scraps that he managed to steal from the people living nearby. It was hard at first, then again with mostly all of the humans living here being brainwashed into being nice all the time; he didn't really have to worry about being mobbed if ever he was caught in the act. Those people would just let him run off with his stolen article, as long as they did not see his face.
In the end, his life now had been pathetic. He can't even do anything to save his brother much less himself.
When Tsukasa suddenly appeared behind him, Daiki had wailed like no other man could have wailed. But Tsukasa did not seem the same as the other people, seeing his face should have triggered some kind of recognition. It was later that he found out for the first time that there are different worlds existed aside of his own.

"Oi, why did you stare at me like that?", the young man had asked him as Daiki remained still as a statue. He blinked.
"Y-you... not going to raise an alarm or something?"
"Why should I?"
Kaito stared at him in disbelief. "Umm.. I'm a wanted man? Fourteen's orders? You're not from around here... aren't you? Didn't the name Kaito Daiki rung any bells?"
The man blinked back at him. "What a strange way to introduce yourself, Kaito-san. Here-" the man held out his hand, "I'm Kadoya Tsukasa. Pleased to meet you. And no, I'm not from around here... it seems."
Daiki accepted the handshake as he pulled himself up from the ground. A strange twist of fate, for him to have met someone who was not brainwashed in any way by the Fourteen. Then again, he should have realized that from the manner Tsukasa had greeted him earlier.
Tsukasa shrugged to himself. "Ah! I ended up entering a different world again, didn't I? I needed to learn how to control this ability. Sorry to just suddenly barged into you-" he said suddenly as Tsukasa suddenly turned to leave.
Daiki hastily grabbed the tail of Tsukasa's coat as he called out. "Wait! Don't go yet, stay."
He hadn't thought that Tsukasa would really heed his words. Surprisingly, he did.

Daiki laughed at himself for remembering that incident. How stupid. Why did he still remember it when the very person involved had no recollection of the memory himself. Lies. It was lies when he had said before that he had erased completely memories of Tsukasa from his own mind.
Daiki turned towards Tsukasa again as the man laughed over some joke that Yuusuke had said. He envied the other man, as well as Natsumi; for being able to be near Tsukasa so comfortably while he-the person who used to also be in that position, can't even stay close enough without some kind of argument starting.
He should leave this place, he should be able to anyway... thanks to the gift that he had received in the past. The gift that was also his treasure. Then again, as if he could ever leave.
Kadoya Tsukasa would always be a treasure that he could never be able to steal.
