Chapter 1:Once Upon A Winter Night

It was near midnight,a little girl was dressed in a green nightgown,her light coloured hair neatly tied. Her sparkling blue eyes reflected the light of the candle as she was rushing in the corridor.

Suddenly someone grabbed her from behind, covering her mouth so she wouldn't scream. The candle fell down and now the only light in the corridor was from the full moon above their heads that was shining through the windows. She felt a gun pressed at her head.

"Who are you?" a low male voice growled. The hand on her mouth was slowly removed and the male stumbled backwards as the girl suddenly shooed him away.

"Who are you,you pervert!" the girl screamed.

The demon sighed,he then picked up the candle and lit it again. The flame was now blue, diving the corridor in a cold and frightening color. Once he could see her properly he put his guns away.

"Lime, What the hell are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's already past your bed time isn't it?" he asked.

"Nothing...sorry that i screamed at you before...Mister Rufus..."she bowed politely.

"You are lying...what is your real reason here?" he asked again while standing in front of her.

"Ehhh...i want to see the stars tonight from the balcony...sorry that i lied to you..."she bowed again.

"You know where the balcony is? It seems that you have been lost for a while..." It sounded like he didn't believe she would know.

"You right...can you help me find it?" She grabbed his sleeve and found a gun pointed at her forehead.

"Let go."Rufus replied coldly.

"Please...Mr Rufus?"she asked again.

"Bang!"a shot missed to the wall.

"I will not warn you again. Let go."he said.

"You're scary and mean...why do they accept mean people like you?"she let go with shaking hands.

"It is all in my profile."he put his gun back while glaring at her.

She was pretty. Still a lot worse than the other girls here. Way too cheerful, annoying, crybaby, and careless.

"From what i read...you're Senior Lass's half-brother,you don't like anyone and always working solo. You never trust anyone...but you should not point your gun at your comrades,you should trust them not trying to kill them!"she explained.

"I do what I want. Don't bother me and I don't bother you." Rufus hissed, sheathing his gun.

"But i was just walking here..."she replied with misty eyes.

"At night you supposed to go to sleep"Rufus raised his voice.

"But i really want to see the stars..."she said

"I don't care! Shut up and go to sleep!"Rufus shouted.

"You will never understand! Waaaaaah!"she ran upstairs while crying.

"Tch, not my damn business..."he turned his back.

"Rufus I can't believe you're bothering the new girl."a male voice was heared.

"What do you want Lass?" he asked.

"The balcony is just two floor above from here,tell her you sorry. Or should i'm the one who do it?"Lass asked.

Suddenly,Rufus felt something that he never felt before,jealousy.

"Wait! Let me do it!"Rufus said while walking pass him.

"Heh...go for it brother."Lass smiled.

He then chased after her to the balcony,when he arrived,he could saw Lime is sitting while staring at the sky.

"Hey..."Rufus walk in and sit next to her.

"Mister Rufus...what do you want with me?"Lime asked.

"I just want to say..."he stopped.

"What?"Lime asked while staring at him.

"I'm sorry..."he blushed.

"Hehe...i'm sorry too,i should know that you are a nice guy inside."she gave him a warm smile.

"Hey,what is the meaning of doing this?"Rufus turned his face away.

"You really want to know? It is nothing special though..."she asked.

"Just tell me."Rufus said with a cold tone.

"Okay...a long time ago,when i still living with my parents,i used to see the stars together with them,because we beleive stars are sign of good luck and love."she explained.

"Heh...is that so? Well,it's time to get back..."Rufus stood up but he was hold back by Lime.

"Mr. Rufus...would you mind staying with me? It's a little bit lonely here all by myself...please?"Lime begged with an innocent look.

"What a drag...fine,but only for a while okay."he sighed and sit back again.

After a few minute,Lim suddenly fell asleep and lean on Rufus's shoulder.

"Oi! What are you doing?"Rufus shouted,but he didn't get any response.

"Ah,she asleep..."Rufus sighed.

"Well...i guess i better take her back to her room...what a nuisance..."Rufus thought.

He then carried Lime with his two hand on bridal style and walk in to her room.

After he put Lime back to her bed,he decided to leave.

But,before he leave,he stare at the girl in the nightgown.

"She is really cute..."He thought before returning to his room.
