A shaft of moonlight illuminated a lonely figure sitting on a window seat by an open picture window. She stared up at the night sky, her eyes searching the heavens hoping someone else was looking there too.
"I wish that I could find my true love. I wonder if he's out there somewhere," Haru sighed as she pulled the throw closer around her shoulders.
After a little bit longer Haru got up and closed the window, locking it. Folding the blanket she slowly climbed the stairs to her room making sure to be extra quiet; she couldn't risk waking her stepmother and stepsisters, they would scream the house down if they found her up at this time. Well I better get up to bed I have to be up in a few hours to start my chores, Haru thought yawning.

A figure in the shadows watched Haru as she went upstairs to the attic where he knew she slept. Watching the curtained window he waited until the light went out, to move from his hiding place and slowly made his way home.
"I hope she'll be okay, she was up awfully late tonite," he murmured aloud.
"Who was up late?" a voice said from somewhere above him
"Toto what are doing up there, eavesdropping on a person's private thoughts?"
The large black crow landed on the path before opening his beak to answer.
"Your mother sent me to find you," Toto said ruffling his feathers in an agitated manner.
"Why?"
"She's worried about you and all these jaunts you've been going on lately," Toto replied walking next to him," Have you been spying on that girl again Baron?"
"That is none of your business, Toto."
Before Toto could open his mouth with another retort Baron waved his hand and Toto could not open his mouth; the Baron had muzzled him before his headache could get any worse.
Thank goodness now I can walk the rest of the way home in peace. The Baron walked the rest of the way home in silence gazing up at the stars thinking about the lovely young woman he's been watching.
Well here's the first chapter of my new fic. I just watched this anime and have always wanted to write one about it. I would just like to thank Yarningchick for the great idea……so please review. The next chapter will be out shortly, I'm still working on it
