Chapter 1: Nina's Cousin

A black Sedan stopped in front of Nina Sakura's house. Came out a man in tuxedo suit and opened the car door for a girl with long, black hair. She has fair skin and warm, gray eyes that matched the dark color of her hair. Slim and tall as any average teenager, she is beautiful.

"Arigato, Doko-san," she said sweetly.

"Don't forget the things your mom said," the man named Doko-san reminded her.

"I won't", she replied. At that, Aya Sakureiru, Nina Sakura's cousin knocked on the hard wood of her cousin's front door.


"Haaaahhhmmm...." a yawn escaped from the big mouth of Nina. She opened her eyes and woke from her sleep. After looking at the clock, she got out of her bed fast, unaware of the cat which fell from her bed. The clock read 6:50 A.M., she is expecting someone by 7:00 A.M. and her visitor might be here in a few minutes.

"Meoww!!" Rio said with and angry tone. He glared at his master and said, "Nina!!! Why did you wake up so early?! It's Saturday, remember? No classes!"

"Gomen, Rio-kun, I'll explain later. I'm in a hurry!!" she said while getting clothes from her wardrobe. She headed to the bathroom as fast as she could.

"Why?" asked the cat. When no reply came from the bathroom, Rio supposed that Nina really is hurrying so he got out of the room and went down the stairs. On the last step, he jumped and transformed to a boy.

"Sniff-sniff, hmmm... What is Nina's mom cooking? It smells like..." –steak. 'Is there something special today? I don't remember celebrating Nina's birthday in October,' Rio wondered.

"Nina's cousin is coming today. You remember Aya?" Nina's mom said, as though reading Rio's mind.

"Honto ni? Aya-chan is coming here? Why did no one tell me yesterday? Came Rio's interrogation. Unfortunately, everybody is too busy to mind that Rio's questions are unanswered.

A few minutes later, Nina came hurrying down the stairs, almost tripping on the second-to-the-last step. "Is she here? Is she here? Is she here?!" this time Nina's questions are answered by her mom.

"So excited! Nina, she's not yet here. You're always excited when Aya-chan is going for a visit in our house," Nina's mom replied.

"That's because she' nice to me. Like Mito-chan, Yuta's sister. Aya-chan always gives me some tips on using my magic and -"

A voice from where Rio was before cut Nina's sentence. "Magic you say. What about magic?" Yuta Kirishima, holding Rio (transformed to a cat), again came out of nowhere. "And who's coming, by the way?" he added.

("Put me down!! Put me down!! Put me down!!" Rio's protests unheard.)

"Yuta-kun! Why are you here?" Nina said.

"I'll tell you later if you tell me who's coming," he said.

"Aya-chan," Nina answered with gleaming smile and glittering eyes.

"Huh? Who's Aya-chan?" Yuta asked.

"You don't know Aya-chan? The girl you asked once to be your girlfriend, my cousin," Nina answered, still with glittering eyes but the smile faded and turned to a wondering expression.

"She must be beautiful because I only ask beautiful girls to be my girlfriend," the wizard commented.

"She is, and she has soft hair and she's always nice to me," Nina said.

"Oh... What are you saying about magic, then?" Yuta asked again. But this time, a knock was heard from the door.
