Omg, I know it has been such a long time since I have updated and I am so sorry for that. The reasons for this being writer's block and the fact that after I had written a few pages, I left it at home when I went to college. I just now got it last weekend and I've been adding to it all week. So, enjoy!

Nina quickly turned around and gasped. Yuta was standing behind her with a concerned look on his handsome face. His blue shirt was wrinkled slightly and his hair was disheveled, sticking up every which way. It was obvious that he hadn't had any rest since he noticed Nina was gone, and it was also obvious that he worked the hardest to find her. Even though Nina noticed and wanted to help, she decided against it. Yuta hated it when people coddled over him.

"Yuta! How did you get here?" She asked as she craned her neck to get a better look at him. She was so happy that she could barely contain the emotions she felt at that moment. He was here. He was really here with her. All the loneliness and pain she'd felt all that time was quickly extinguished by his very presence.

Instead of answering her question, Yuta observed the house she'd been forced to stay in. He looked from the dusty, rickety stairs back to the equally dusty living room he was standing in right now. The more he looked around, the more disgusted he became with Mr. Sakura. If he was angry at the man before, he was completely enraged now. There was no way he was going to get away with doing what he's done.

Nina looked at him in curious observation for a little longer before speaking once more.

"Yuta? Did you hear me?"

"Are you alright, Nina?" He once again avoided her question of concern and countered it with one of his own. He did not find her for her to be worried about his well-being.

"I'm fairing well." She didn't look at him when she replied. He noticed this and took her face in his hands. He gently lifter her head to his eye level.

"Don't lie, Nina. You've always been terrible at it, anyway." He said with a hint of humor. Even the slightest bit of discomfort on her part made him ill. So, seeing that smile on her face at his comment made him feel a bit calmer about the situation.

Nina's smile was contagious as she looked at him. He could always read her, no matter what the situation was. She moved to hug him and he returned it with as much force as he could without hurting her. Being with her now made him realize how much he truly missed her. He could not imagine his life without her by his side. He became concerned again when he sensed the tears she wanted to spill.

"I miss earth, Yuta. I miss Rio, mama, papa, and Ayu. It's so boring and lonely here all by myself. I have to do EVERYTHING with magic."

He nodded and turned his body to face her on the couch.

"I went to see your grandfather after I left your room. He said that his main reason for sending you here was to keep me away from you."

"What?" She was shocked to hear this. According to her grandfather, no one but he could know where she was and how to get to her. Aside from that fact, she couldn't believe her grandfather would stoop so low as to separate them by those means. "But grandpa's face appeared in the clouds and the mirror. He's the only one."

"That's only because he knows where you are. Very powerful wizards like your grandfather can appear almost anywhere in holographic form as long as they know the location. If I knew where you were sooner, then I would have teleported here right after you did. But your grandfather said there was no way I could get to you, so I had to prove him wrong."

"But why would grandpa do something so terrible and rude?"

"Because I 'distract' you from your magic. He just thinks I'm bad news and wants to keep me away." He said with a sigh. He was really getting tired of trying to prove himself to Mr. Sakura. He had no idea what he could possibly do or say that would make him worthy in the elder's eyes. And the fact that it took Yuta so long to find her only made him look even worse.

Nina noticed the look of loathing he had on his face and moved closer to him and she continued to speak.

"But without you, I wouldn't know half the magic that I do now."

"Oh, aside from sneaking in here, I also brought something with me."

He reached into his pocket and took out her pink computer. She beamed at him before hugging him tightly.

She had a plan now. She and Yuta were in a house all alone in the middle of another dimension, and she wanted to spend as much time with him as possible before her grandfather interrupted them. And she knew exactly how to do it.

"You can help me now."

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Everything has to be done by magic in this house."

He looked at her with an amused smile before commenting, "Just small spells or major ones?"

"Major spells. I can't do anything. There's no food, water, or heat. I also don't have any furniture in my room. Grandpa says I have to get everything using magic and he won't help."

"Well, I'm not going anywhere, so you won't have to do it all by yourself."

She gave him another bright smile, though it faded just a little after his next sentence.

"By not doing it all by yourself, I mean you won't be alone. I'm not going to waste my magic in this dusty old place. That's your job. I'll watch."

"You're so mean, Yuta!"

"If I'm so mean, then maybe I'll go back to earth and have fun with Ayu or something. I mean, since it's so obvious that I'm clearly not wanted here." He feigned sadness and started walking towards the exit before Nina's small hand grabbed onto the sleeve of his shirt.

"No, Yuta! I didn't mean it like that!"

He took her hand in his and kissed the palm of it before leading her back to the couch and positioning her on his lap. The small laugh he gave in response to her pout alerted her to the fact that he was joking and that she had nothing to worry about. She smiled slightly at his joke and laid her head on his chest.

"How is everything at home? Did you tell them anything?"

"Oh, I told them everything I knew. Mama and Rio were crying and Papa was upset, too. Ayu was more confused than anything."

"Grandpa won't like that you told them anything."

"He can not like it all he wants. The old geezer should have never come up with a stupid plan like this. He's worrying everyone."

After that, neither of them spoke for a long time. The fire that Yuta procured was warm against their faces and it relaxed them both to a point where one would almost forget they were in such a situation.

"Yuta?" She finally asked. Nina had wanted to ask Yuta this question since he first appeared. She was afraid, however, because she didn't think it was relevant or important, but it kept nagging at her to the point where she could no longer take it.

He nodded in indication that he's heard her.

"How did you find me?"

"I don't know. I just missed you so desperately and was so worried that all of that energy led me to you." He held her closer to him for emphasis and gave her a chaste kiss before laying them both down on the worn down couch and putting the blanket over them both.

Nina snuggled up closer to him before mumbling a quick goodnight before dozing off into a peaceful sleep. Yuta looked down at her sleeping face and couldn't help the surge of love that overwhelmed him at that exact moment. He was going to fix this for her. He was going to find a way to get her back to her family and perfect her magic at the same time. He just needed to come up with a plan. And he definitely needed to talk to Mr. Sakura again to find out what spells he used to make this prison.
