Chapter 2
The Magic Kingdom... a land of well, magic... It was a dark morning; the sun was still waiting to rise and wake up the sleepy people. Of course, there were exceptions. One of which was a magician named Yuta Kirishima.
Yuta had a recent streak of insomnia for the past couple of days, the reason for which was a long-haired blonde girl who now lives in the castle (by this time you must know who she is...).
And so the young lad strode into the kitchen and brewed up a nice warm mug of cocoa and checked the luminous clock that hung in the wall. It read 3:30 AM.
Then suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"Who on earth will visit at this time iof day?" He asked to himself, sipping some cocoa as he marched towards the door. The doorbell rang again, which gave Yuta a clue that his "visior" doesn't want to wait for sunrise to get in. Little did Yuta know that his guest doesn't want to come in in the first place.
The doorbell rang once more.
"Okay Okay, I'll get it!" said Yuta as he was touching the doorknob. He opened the door, revealing a long-haired man standing outside.
"Oh, What can I do for you Sir?" asked Yuta, bowing to the person before him. The visitor simply smiled and held a black rose at arm's length, almost shoving the flower to Yuta's nose. Yuta accidentally took one whiff of the Flower's scent, then he collapsed. He fell backward into the carpeted floor, his mug smashing into pieces. The man outside closed the door, and disappeared into the darkness.

Meanwhile, Tateishi Ayu just woke up in the world of Humans. She had recently discovered two of her friends hiding in her closet and had sat them down in the sofa in the living room to interrogate them.
"So you see Ayu" explained Nina, "We wanted to suprise you so we asked permission from your mom and we entered your room, see"
"Then we found you asleep" continued Tsujiai, "So Nina had the idea of using that dream spell of hers that makes people dream of something of her own design"
"So what I did was I kind of enchanted your pillow and made you dream all the details that Tsujiai was giving me" Said Nina.
Ayu nodded as She listened to the two's story. Both of them now had giant sweatdrops at the back of their heads, apparently trying to anticipate the worst that Ayu might do to them. On the contrary, Ayu smiled at them.
"Thanks guys!" Ayu said. "I'd been wanting to have a dream about Kaji for weeks now"
Nina and Tsujiai felt relieved.
"But don't you think you went too far?" continued Ayu. "I mean, kissing Kaji's kind of, well, outrageous..." Ayu said while blushing.
"It's my fault... I was a little too excessive" said Tsujiai.
The telephone rang. Ayu stood up and picked up the reciever.
"Hello? Tateishi residence"
"Ayu?" said the voice on the other line that made Ayu blush. From the look of Nina and Tsujiai's faces, you can already tell that they knew who was calling.
"K-Kaji?" said Ayu... "Hey, what makes you want to call?"
"well, nothing much... I just wanted to hear your voice this morning"
Ayu fell silent. Her blood was rushing to her face, painting it scarlet. Her heart was beating like mad and She didn't know what to say. she looked at Nina and Tsujiai... Obviously, they weren't doing anything at all... "This has to be real" She said to hersef, pinching her arm to make sure she wasn't dreaming (again)
"Hey" said Kaji "Was it something I said?"
"No, It's nothing"
"I' glad you're okay... I was beginning to worry, you know."
Ayu tried to be as calm as she could possiby be. After all, that's what Kaji likes about her.
"I'm all right. Thanks for worrying, though!"
"May I ask you something?" said Kaji quietly.
"Okay. What?"
"Well, since it's already summer vacation, can we like, go out today?"
Ayu's heart was beating in a fever-pitched rate. "Of Course!"
"Great!" said Kaji. "Meet me at the park, aroung nine, okay?"
"S-sure"
"Bye!"
"Bye!" Ayu said. She then hung up.
"What happened?" asked Nina
"Kaji asked me out!"
"No way!" said Nina and Tsujiai, looking at each other, incredilous.

Back at the magic Kingdom, the sun had risen, and a letter adressed to the newly-crowned princess of the Kingdom sent tears down her cheeks.
Maya marched towards the castle gates, and past her husband, the prince.
"Hey, where are you going, Maya?" he asked.
Maya faked a smile and said. "I have some errands to attend to"
"Why don't you ask one of the servants to do it for you?"
"No, I refer to do it on my own"
"Okay. Take care now..."
"Sure" said Maya, exiting the castle gates, her face dark, her thoughts racing...
Yuta... Yuta... Yuta!
When she arrived at the Kirishima residence, all were in a very somber mood. She was led into an upstairs room, where Yuta lay unconscious.
Maya sat down beside Yuta's body. She held his almost lifeless hand. A single teardrop falling on it.
well, what do you think will happen next? What will happen between Ayu and Kaji? What happened to Yuta? And of course, What about Nina and Tsujiai? Please review to speed up the next chapter!
