"Seraph no! You can't come to school with me!" Yuina protested for the fourth time, stopping and glaring at the woman. Cocking her head to the side slightly Seraph said "But we made a contract. Now I have to be with you all the time." Yuina groaned, "How am I going to explain your presence to my teachers?" "What about your friends?" Seraph asked, and Yuina winced. "I have none." Looking at her Seraph smiled and said "Alright. Just remember, if you need me, you must invoke my key." Nodding, Yuina quoted it, having learned it by heart thanks to Seraph constantly mentioning it. "There, see? I know it. Now go away!" Blowing Yuina a kiss and winking, Seraph vanished into thin air. Gaping, Yuina made a mental note to tell Seraph that she couldn't just vanish like that, especially in public! Smiling at a shocked bystander who had witnessed the scene she said, "Oh she does that all the time! She's a magician ehe!" before beating a hasty retreat. Taking a huge breath of relief, Yuina made her way to her homeroom. Seraph really had stuck to her side after that kiss, so much so that she had woken up this morning to find Seraph sleeping beside her. That, and the fact that Seraph was virtually naked had caused Yuina to almost have a seizure. Blushing at the memory, Yuina found her seat at the far corner of the class and sat down. Seraph had hit sore point earlier about her lack of friends. After losing her best friend in middle school, Yuina had stayed away from her classmates. Kept to herself and never participated in any of the school activities. She had never minded the lack of friends; but now with Seraph in her life, everything seemed so much more different. Suddenly, life seemed worth living again. There was a stir, and looking up Yuina saw a beautiful woman enter the class. "Hello. My name is Sahaku, I am to be your new homeroom teacher until Ms Yamazaki, your old homeroom teacher is discharged from hospital," the woman introduced herself. The class greeted her, and smiling she opened the door and ushered a girl in. "Let me introduce you to a transfer student. This is Kudou Akiho." Staring at the new girl, something clicked and with a gasp Yuina cried "Aki-chan?" Akiho glanced towards the girl sitting in the far corner, and felt her world tilt. "Yuina!" Glancing between the two girls Sahaku softly asked, "You know each other?" "Yes! This is Yui-chan. We were best friends at middle school. May I sit next to her teacher?" Akiho asked, looking at Sahaku, her eyes pleading. Nodding her ascent, Sahaku watched as Akiho tripped over to the corner and sat at an empty desk, the two girls soon talking to each other. Eyes narrowed, Sahaku called the class to order and began the lessons. At lunch break Akiho and Yuina found a quiet spot for themselves in the school gardens. "Oh Yuina I never imagined I would ever get to see you again!" Akiho smiled happily, drinking in the girl's features. Yuina had grown so beautiful. Her long pale blond hair reached just past her knees, her pale face dominated by her huge violet eyes. As she spoke, Akiho was again entranced by the soft sweet quality of her voice. "Do you still sing Yuina?" She watched as a slow blush spread across Yuina's cheeks. "Not since recently Akiho, but… but I was never as good as you." Akiho smiled to herself; Yuina was still the same as ever; willing to let Akiho take credit for things she didn't deserve. "No I'm not Yuina. You should have gotten the lead role in the choir." Yuina's head shot up, surprised at what Akiho had just said. "It's true Yuina. I envied you so much; you were so much better than me. I couldn't handle your getting the role so I spoke to the teachers and they gave it to me because of who my father is," Akiho sighed, looking away. "I felt so awful once I realized how cruel and wrong I had been. I… I've been wanting to say sorry for so long." Smiling, Yuina sat next to Akiho and wrapped her arms around her friend and hugged her. "Oh Akiho it doesn't matter anymore. I just hope we can be good friends again, like before. I've missed you!" Surprised and pleased at the same time, Akiho returned the hug and smiled. "I've missed you too Yuina." From the shadows of nearby a tree, Lucifer watched, her hand clenched to the trunk of the tree, slowly shredding it. Jealousy flooded through her; no one could share Akiho's affection with her. They were hers and hers alone. Yuina Hatori would bear close watching.
