Me: Hiiiiiiiiiii everyone! I am back! Here's the reason why I thought it was necessary to end my other story and start a new one. Well there's actually more than one. One of them is because some of you might be still deciding if ShunxAlice is the pairing you like. (I really really really really hope it is) "The Magic of Cupid" involved their relationship and ended in a break up. The second reason is my first story was about how Alice changed things and was attracted by Shun. In this story, "The Magic of Devid" is almost the opposite. Shun has to work to get Alice back.

Marucho: That's logical

Me: Really? Here's a tip do not ask me logical questions because I would probably end up getting it wrong or I would probably think it wasn't logical. I learned that in school today… hehe.

Marucho: You waste your time learning that?

Me: Well…

Marucho: *gasp… I'm leaving

Me: Wait, I'm sorry… *Marucho leaves… Well readers welcome to my first chapter of "The Magic of Devid" from my very own library of imagination! =)

Shun's P.O.V.

It was a snowy evening. Large snowflakes fell slowly from the sky. I was walking around in the park and then decided to sit in a tree. Two reasons, one because I wouldn't be seen and two because it wasn't wet like the bench. I laid my back on the tree and stared up into the sky. It's been a whole year since our break up… well almost a year. Once again, it was almost Valentine's Day. I closed my eyes. I remembered when Alice and I were dancing together. I remembered when everything seemed perfect and complete. I took a necklace out of my pocket. It was the one Alice gave back to me when she broke up with me. It still pained me to think about it. It's been almost a year and still didn't understand why she broke up with me. I've been bringing the necklace wherever I went since then. Then I remembered the shock in her eyes when she found out I was a Devid. It was horrible. Devids were supposed to ruin Valentine's Day but this year, I had hopes of making it better. No matter what my brain will tell me to do, my heart thinks otherwise. It wanted to protect Alice, to make her life better.

"I miss you Alice…" I whispered as I played with the necklace in my hands. No one could ever replace her. She was my first crush… no, she was my first love. I sat in the tree for hours before I decided to leave… not to go home, but to see someone.

Alice's P.O.V.

It was a busy night at the Misaki café. It happened every year when it was close to Valentine's Day. I had a tray in my hand full of food as I approached a table. It was couple and they were snuggled up with each other. The first thought that came to my mind was Shun and me.

"You're so sweet," the girl said to the guy and they shared a passionate kissed. They broke apart when they saw me.

I'm sorry… here's your food. (Notice: The words that are in italics are the words in sign language. Alice learned it during the summer…) I placed it on the table and they nodded to tell me it was okay. Shun was always on mind. There were only two possible reasons. One because I still loved him or two he was always trying to talk to me. I couldn't stand staying with him for too long because I would feel the need to hug him. Whenever I looked into his honey-brown eyes, I get lost in them. I see the pain I've caused him. That's the bad thing about being a Cupid. You could see whatever the other person is feeling or even feel it sometimes.

"Alice?" Runo said while she was waving her hand in front of me. I snapped out of my thoughts.

Sorry Runo… I was lost in my thoughts…I told her but she obviously knew.

"Is it about Shun?" she asked. I didn't answer, "Alice, it's been over a year. Forget about him." Maybe she was right. If Shun wanted me back badly he wouldn't have left when we were in the hospital. Maybe he did understand why I broke up with him.

I don't know… It was better for both us if we broke up but now… I'm not so sure. She looked at me with a concern look on her face. I didn't want to make her worried so I put on a fake smile.

"Alice! Runo! Could you get five cokes, 2 coffees and 3 waters for tables 5, 3 and 7?" Julie shouted from across the café that looked a lot more like a restaurant than it used to. I gave her a smile to tell her I heard. I got behind the counter and started pouring hot water into cups. On top on the machines, on the wall, was a picture of all us, Runo, Julie, Dan, Marucho, me… and even Shun. I stared at the picture and saw that Shun and I were holding hands. I remembered how safe and secure I felt whenever I was around him, especially when we were holding hands. My thoughts felt real as I felt my hands heat up. Then I dropped the cup I was holding when I realized it was so full that water spilt out of it and burned my hand.

"Alice, are you alright?" Runo asked worriedly as she came running to me.

Yeah… don't worry about it

"I'm calling Shun right now. You've got to talk to him. Not only is this driving you crazy, it's also driving me insane! You guys loved each other! I just don't' get it!" Runo started to yell after a while.

I'm sorry. Don't call Shun. Runo got her cellphone out and was going to call him. Part of me wanted her to while the other part didn't.

"Julie! Call Shun!" Runo half yelled from across the café. Julie gave a thumbs up.

Runo! I was going to run to Julie but Runo held me back. She gave me a look that said I-know-you-want-to-see-him. Just then we heard a phone ring near the doorway. We both turned to see who it was… it was Shun.

Shun's P.O.V.

I walked through the streets and stopped in front of the Misaki Café. I wasn't going to go inside, but the windows fogged up. I really wanted to see Alice, even if she didn't want to see me. It was selfish. I walked into the café to find Runo pulling on Alice. I wanted to stop her but I didn't. Then my cellphone rang and saw it was from Julie. When I looked up, I saw Runo, Julie and Alice staring at me.

"Hey buddy," Dan greeted. He was in our usual booth with Joe and Billy. I nodded to tell him I saw them. I turned back around to find Alice but she wasn't there anymore.

"Have you guys seen Alice?" I questioned. They looked around and then shrugged.

"She was here a few minutes ago," Joe said. I sat down with them and kept staring at the kitchen doors, incase she came out.

"You want to come with us to the movies tomorrow?" Dan asked. Tomorrow was Saturday so we didn't have school. It was both a good thing and a bad thing. It was good because of no work and crazy girls, but bad because I wouldn't be able to see Alice.

"After that, we're going shopping!" Julie exclaimed as she gave me a cup of water.

"FYI, Alice is going," Billy added.

"Alright, I'll go," nothing would have made me go if Alice wasn't going to be there. For the next few hours… yeas hours, we talked about random things… well they did. I just added a few comments once in a while. By now, the café was empty and Alice still didn't come yet.

"Runo, do you know where Alice is?" I asked as she came out. She looked around and then walked closer to me.

"She just left a while ago from the back door. You can still catch up to her," she said. I nodded thanks and then dashed out of the café. I looked around and saw Alice walking towards the traffic light. I ran after her, avoiding other people. When I got close enough, I saw that she was crossing the street. Then out of no where, I felt a breeze. It was stronger than the wind. I looked to my left and saw a black car driving quickly. He/She was going to hit Alice!

"Alice!"

Alice's P.O.V.

I took the back door to avoid Shun but I was pretty sure it wouldn't last long. O started walking faster, incase Runo decided to tell him or Julie did before she left with Billy. It was a beautiful snowy night so I kept my head down. Before I crossed the street, I looked both ways. I saw this black car just sitting there so I ignored it. As I was crossing, I was busy thinking about Shun again. No matter what I did, he kept coming back into my mind. I tried everything to keep him out.

"Alice!" I shook my head, now I'm even hearing voices. Then I heard the roaring sound of an engine. I looked to my left and saw the same black car rushing towards me. Everything happened so fast. The next thing I knew, I felt warm arms around my waist. The person pushed me out of the way and we both fell into the snow. I was shaking all over. I almost got killed… again. I tried looking to see who was in the car, but he/she left before I could.

"Are you alright?" he whispered into my ear softly. I knew the voice so well.

Shun… thanks, I thanked him. Then I realized we were still in the snow and his arms were still around me.

"Sorry…" Shun quickly let go of me and helped me up.

Umm… I have to go now. I'll see you tomorrow, I told him. I was about to leave but he held on to me.

"You want to go get some hot chocolate first?" he asked hopefully. I couldn't refuse so I just nodded. We walked in silence but it wasn't tensed like it should have been. I was looking down the whole time, trying to avoid Shun's gaze. I could feel his eyes on me. Then we stopped. I looked up and I saw that we stopped at his house.

Aren't we going to get hot chocolate? I asked..

"Yeah, come in," he stated and I followed him. His house wasn't a house… it was a dojo. It had a beautiful garden and was huge. We went inside and sat in the living room.

"I'll go make hot chocolate," he walked into the kitchen. I took off my jacket and placed it on a chair. Then I decided to sit by the fireplace since it was warmer. I stared into the fire. In a way, it was pretty. Suddenly, the flames seemed to change shape. A face appeared and once it started saying something I knew who it was.

"I will kill you…" Ren stated. I jumped back a bit. I blinked a few times and realized it wasn't there.

I was just dreaming…I accidentally used sign language even though I was talking to myself. It was a habit.

"About what?" Shun questioned as he came back with two cups of hot chocolate. He handed me one and sat down beside me. He must have saw what I signed.

It's nothing…it didn't sound convincing but he ignored it. That was one of the things I liked about him. He didn't push me to say things. Why am I still thinking about him? It can't happen… we can't happen. I heard a loud clang on the window and got scared.

"Don't' worry, it's just a tree. There must be a blizzard going on," he tried comforting me. Then the lights went out and I squeaked. I could feel Shun laughing even though he didn't mean to. Luckily, the fireplace was still lit.

That can't be good…I stated the obvious. I heard him chuckle and couldn't help but smile back.

"I haven't seen you smile like that for so long…" Shun whispered. It was probably meant for him and not me to hear since he quickly turned away, "I'm sorry…" he added.

I haven't heard you laugh for a long time, I said just to make it less awkward but it didn't work. After a long time of silence we decided to play a game.

"Let's play Monopoly," Shun suggested.

Alright, I smiled. It was one of my favourite games.

"I think you should go change first… since you're staying for the night," Shun said and gave me some clothes, "These belonged to my mother and I think you should wear them." I gave him an are-you-sure-look and he nodded. When I changed, I realized how wet my other clothes were from falling into the snow and then sitting by the fireplace. I wore the comfortable pajamas Shun gave me. They fit perfectly. I walked back into the living room with a candle that he had also given to me. The game was already set up on the carpet.

Shun's P.O.V.

I was very happy and I mean very, very happy. Alice had finally talked to me again and she was staying for the night. If I played it right, maybe, just maybe, she might want to go out again. I sat there thinking of all the possibilities and stopped when I heard footsteps. I looked up and saw Alice in my mother's clothes. It fit her perfectly. They were just simple pajamas and when Alice wore it, it gave me an impression of my mom… someone that I loved.

You've got the game set up already, she said as she came and sat down.

"Yeah, you can go first," we played for more than an hour. It felt so god to be with her again. I couldn't help but stare at her. Her smile was back and everything seemed like the way it used to be. I watched as she yawned.

"Maybe we should go brush our teeth now and get ready for bed," I told her and we left the game sitting there. I would clean up tomorrow.

I'll help you clean up, she offered. I shook my head and I lead her to the washroom were the toothbrushes were held. After we were both done, we came back to the living room. I sat on the couch comfortably and so did Alice… well I thought she looked comfortable. We sat there quietly just enjoying each other's company. Alice might not have realized it because she was too tired, but she laid her head on my shoulder. It surprised me at first but I got over it. I placed the jacket she left on the chair on top of her incase she got cold and I fell asleep too, hoping that there was still some hope that Alice and I could be together again.

Me: The first chapter done! It took me a few days to write this because I had homework. I just separated them into sections.

Dan: Do you have food?

Me: What does that have to do with anything I just said?

Dan: It doesn't

Me: …

Dan: I want a pineapple

Me: A pineapple? You could seriously eat the whole pineapple by yourself?

Dan: Yeah… you wanna see?

Me: No… and I'm pretty sure my readers don't wanna see it either especially if it's gonna be all over you…

Dan: I'll try not to be messy.

Me: Main Word: TRY… Anyways while he leaves to get his pineapple… I've got something to tell all of you. Thanks sooooooooooooooo much for waiting soooooo long for the first chapter of the sequel to come out. I'm sorry about that. I hope you enjoyed it. Please review and comment and I'll see you al next time. Thanks! =)
