Chapter 2: The Plan: Sunako meets Minerva

Another ordinary Saturday in the Nakahara mansion...

"YOU! How many times do I have to remind you that I really hate carrots!" Kyohei shouted over the otherwise peaceful breakfast, "You will pay for this, mark my words."

Sunako's POV

Mark your words? You should be the one paying for the crazy stunt you pulled on me last time. I lost a lot of blood over that little fiasco, dumbass. Ugh! My memory's forever tainted.

Oh, but you liked it, you know you did.

Shut up stupid inner voice.

You can't forget the way his arms held you. His scent enveloping you...

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

Normal POV

Sunako ran back to her room, her only sanctuary, but she could not run from her conscience.

"Oh god, she's gone crazy again." Kyohei said, he cannot ignore his hunger anymore and proceeded to eat the carrot-y food.

"Kyohei... did you do anything to Sunako again? She never cooks this way unless she's getting back at you." Takenaga pointed out, he actually knew what was going on but relished in the fact that he can tease Kyohei about it.

"Me? No, of course not! It was your stupid idea that made this big stupid mess." Kyohei retorted, guiltily.

"What idea? What mess?" Ranmaru asked, he had no idea something else happened after dinner last night.

"Yeah, how come we don't know anything?" Yuki said, he also didn't know about last night.

"Oh, I saw Kyohei carrying an unconscious Sunako towards her room." Takenaga replied, with a smirk. Oh, he was enjoying this alright, "and before that, I saw them entwined together on the hallway floor."

"It was nothing." Kyohei pointed out, slightly blushing, "It was your fault anyway."

"But it still worked!" Takenaga beamed, he was really proud of his plan, "Now she'll go over to Minerva's house and then meet Minerva."

"Uh... she didn't see the address. So, I don't think she can go there." Kyohei answered sheepishly.

"What? How can you fail such a foolproof plan? Trust you to screw anything." Takenaga glared at Kyohei, "You bring her to Minerva's house today, you foiled my devious plan, now, you should go plan yourself."

"Wait, she's going to Minerva's house?" Ranmaru asked, "I think Sunako-chan's going to be disappointed when she sees it."

"Why?" Yuki asked, while chewing a rather large amount of food.

"Minerva lives in a modern condominium. It's not creepy or anything." Ranmaru answered, "I told you she was a modern kind of witch, right? Although she does horoscope for newspapers and magazines, she's really just a typical career woman."

"Oh, hmm... we can easily remedy that." Takenaga said, all other boys looked at him curiously, "We can bring over the halloween decorations and probably some of Sunako's stuff then her place will look like one of those horror movie sets. She could also wear a costume or something."

"Don't you think Sunako-chan won't recognize them? I mean she has seen our halloween decorations before and I think she's very familiar with her stuff." Yuki said.

"Don't worry about it too much; by the time she'll set foot at Minerva's place, she'll be entranced by Minerva." Ranmaru said, "I know I was."

"Yeah, I think it'll be okay. She will probably be all over the witch anyway." Kyohei snapped, he can't even think of a way to bring Sunako to Minerva's place.

And so, the boys lugged tons and tons of halloween decorations to Minerva's condominium. Sunako was out to buy food, so they had the chance to 'borrow' some of her stuff (borrow being the keyword, since they didn't really ask her). They decorated Minerva's place and then asked Minerva to wear a witch costume which they unearthed somewhere in the mansion. Minerva's place transformed from an innocent modern condominium to a scary sanctuary - even Sunako would want to live in. The only problem left was for Kyohei to bring Sunako, so Kyohei went home and waited for Sunako to come back.

"Nakahara. You wanted to see the witch, right?" Kyohei asked Sunako right after she just entered the mansion. The others warned Kyohei to not let Sunako inside her room and to bring her immediately to Minerva's place.

"I wanted to, but I'd rather burn myself alive than get her address from you." Sunako answered, her voice dripping with disgust. She made her way to her room but was blocked by Kyohei.

"I'll bring you to her now." Kyohei exclaimed, "I feel rather guilty from what happened last night."

"Oh, really? I never thought you could be guilty, I always thought your conscience committed suicide a long time ago." Sunako said, sarcastically, she was still walking towards her room while Kyohei was unsuccessfully blocking her every step.

"Haha, really funny." Kyohei replied back with equal sarcasm, "But don't you want to go? The guys aren't here so you'll never know her address."

"Can you stop blocking my path? I said, I don't want to go with you." Sunako said, obviously annoyed. She almost reached her room, but when she was about to turn the doorknob, Kyohei grabbed her arm.

"Well, I'll just have to force you to come with me then." Kyohei dragged her away from her room and out of the house.

"You can't make me." Sunako forcefully resisted, but it was really hard pulling her arm and preventing her nosebleed both at the same time.

"Back to the tugging again, I see. You just don't learn, do you?" Kyohei pulled her violently; they were now out of the house.

"Let me go. You're melting my arm." Sunako threatened, her dark aura slowly coming out of her.

"No, you're overreacting again, you will come with me and you will see the witch." Kyohei was running out of patience, people were already staring and pointing at them, "I just don't get you, you know. Yesterday you wanted to force the address out of my back pocket, and now you don't want to see her?"

Sunako did not answer; she was slowly getting weak from the radiant exposure.

Sunako's POV

I want to see the witch, ok? But not with you, certainly not with you. Oh god, I'm melting, really melting...

Normal POV

After many many streets and pairs of curious eyes, they arrived at Minerva's building where Yuki, Takenaga, Ranmaru and Minerva were waiting for them inside. Kyohei dragged Sunako up a couple of stairs and then finally reached Minerva's door. Kyohei then released Sunako's arm, knocked loudly and brought out the notorious black envelope. Meanwhile, Yuki, Takenaga and Ranmaru hid in Minerva's bedroom while Minerva prepared to welcome Kyohei and Sunako.

"Who is it?" Minerva called out.

"An invitation delivery." Kyohei blurted out, he was finally relieved to finish his mission. He peered at Sunako who was clutching her arm, as if it was lost a moment ago, and laughed internally - she can really be amusing sometimes, Kyohei thought.

Minerva opened the door and Sunako quickly looked at her. Ranmaru was right, Sunako was instantly entranced by Minerva. She was perfect right out of her daydreams and night dreams about witches - too perfect.

"Oh, hi there. An invitation, right?" Minerva asked, looking directly at Sunako.

"Yes, here." Kyohei handed the invitation to Minerva's outstretched palm and then turned to leave.

"Wait! Come inside for a moment, I have tea and cookies for you." Minerva offered, still looking at Sunako who was so at awe that she still could not speak.

"Food? Sure. I never thought delivering invitations had these kind of perks." Kyohei ushered himself inside the condominium and proceeded to devour the said tea and cookies on the living room table.

"A-a-are you a real witch?" Sunako finally said, her eyes were shining with adoration.

"Oh, yes, you can call me that. Why don't you join me inside?" Minerva led Sunako to her living room.

Sunako entered the house and finally saw the overly decorated place, she was so enthralled with the place that she did not even notice Kyohei slip to the bedroom; scented candles lit up the place which had every possible cliché halloween decoration: a witch's broom, cobwebs, a coffin, a shelf full of vials and potions, dark curtains and etc.

"Make yourself at home. I'm sorry if I haven't cleaned up yet." Minerva said apologetically, she was really good at this acting stuff. Yuki, Takenaga and Ranmaru listened intently through the bedroom door and gave each other thumbs ups.

"Clean? No, your place is perfect." Sunako happily said, she was again captivated by Minerva - as if she was in an unknown spell.

"Why, thank you! Uh..." Minerva said, indirectly asking Sunako's name.

"Sunako. Nakahara Sunako." Sunako answered, she was slowly feeling lightheaded - must be the incense fuming up the place.

"Sunako-chan. I'm Minerva. It was so nice of you to come here." Minerva smiled, her mouth revealing perfect pearly whites and sharp canines, "Why don't you drink some tea and eat some cookies while I put this invitation somewhere, okay?"

Sunako obediently nibbled some biscuits and drank some tea - tea she has never seen so red before. She observed her surroundings and smiled. She felt so at home and at ease.

"I hope you like those," Minerva said, indicating the tea and biscuits, "I really love that tea, it reminds me of blood a lot."

Sunako was now thinking of the possibilities of asking this woman to adopt her, or just live with her - roommates would even be nice.

"Tell me about yourself, Sunako-chan." Minerva asked, as she picked a biscuit,"What are your likes and dislikes?"

"I hate light, radiant creatures. And I love darkness." Sunako answered, thoughtlessly, "I was once normal before, like every other teenage girl, but then the guy that I liked back in middle school rejected me and called me ugly. Ever since then, I embraced the darkness and detested light. I can't even remember that guy's name or face. All I know is, darkness is where I belong and where I feel safe." Sunako couldn't stop herself from talking and telling this stranger all about herself.

"Why do you hate light, Sunako-chan? What is so revolting about it?" Minerva proceeded to interrogate Sunako, her piercing silver eyes never leaving Sunako's face.

"Everything! Light and darkness were never meant to co-exist. It's an atrocity, it's against life, nature, religion, fate." Sunako ranted, she couldn't stop the words spilling out of her mouth, "Radiant beings should be with radiant beings, dark creatures should be with dark creatures!"

"Don't you believe in 'opposites attract'? Light and darkness need each other, like how the sun and the moon must both exist." Minerva said, while her pale long fingers lifted another biscuit from the plate.

"How can you say that? You're a creature of darkness yourself. We are consumed by light whenever we are with them! I-I-, h-h-he melts me everytime!" Sunako said, her voice a little too agitated and her fists were balled up a little too hard.

"Who is this radiant being, Sunako-chan? You seem so affected by him." Minerva turned her head towards her bedroom door and flipped her platinum hair. A knowing smile graced her lips as she continued to question Sunako.

"Him - light's purest most beautiful form." Sunako answered heatedly, her eyes in slits while staring off into the distance.

"Why do you hate him, Sunako-chan? What is so revolting about him?"

"Hate him? Why do I hate him? It's because he's... uhm.. he's..." Sunako pondered and was horrified when she finally concluded, "I don't hate him! Shit! I actually don't hate him!"

"You don't hate him? Then why does he affect you so much?" Minerva's smile widened as if the predator was closing on to the prey.

"Because... he is so incomprehensible. He confuses me and he makes me lose blood. He annoys me and he steals my food. He harasses me and he saves me sometimes. He-" Sunako stopped as realization dawned on her."Oh, shit! No, it can't be. No, no, no, no, no..."

Sunako's POV

No, no, no, no, no. It can't be. It must be the incense or the tea or the cookies that made me think of that. I did not just think that. I did not, and do not like that git. It's against everything. It's a lie; my mind must be playing tricks on me. This witch must have placed a spell on me. I cannot like him, no, no, no, no...

Normal POV

Minerva smiled as she observed Sunako's obvious inner battle. She did not want to disturb Sunako's internal monologue but Minerva had to wake her up from the hypnosis. Minerva placed a dainty finger on Sunako's chin (which startled Sunako) and forced Sunako to stare into her eyes.

"You will forget what have just transpired. You will forget you met me. You will forget we had this conversation. You will forget you ever came here. You will forget everything. When I snap my fingers, you will fall asleep." Minerva chanted, each word caused Sunako to get even woozier until Minerva snapped her fingers and Sunako promptly fell asleep.

"You are one interesting girl, Sunako-chan. He's sure lucky he's got you." Minerva commented, she then turned on the lights and blew out the scented candles.

Whew! Well, Sunako finally met Minerva, next chapter's about Minerva's "solution" to Sunako's problem which will explain the title.^_^. Hopefully, I could update next week. I have tons of exams piled up so.. good luck me! Anyway, review review review!
