Steph held the gem close with a smile before a great realization dawned upon her. She ran into her kitchen leaving Vade hanging there with his thoughts. She frantically began checking every space that could fit a human. Throwing open the window she looked down to see a person trying to find a way up the building side. "Homura is that you?!" Steph half yelled down to the mysterious figure. The figure looked up before looking around as if checking for those who should not be there. The figure continued trying to find a way up. Steph ran back to her computer where an annoyed looking Vade with an arched eyebrow waited.
"Vade I was looking around for Homura and when I looked out my kitchen window I saw someone trying to find a way up and when I called for Homura the person looked up and around meaning it could be her" Steph gasped out as she ran out of breath. Vade lowered his arched eyebrow and sighed "Well if it is Homura then its your lucky day. Go to the window and wait for her. I assume it is her because if there is a person out your window that reacted to the name Homura then it means that they are coming to get their gem back." Vade said rather plainly.
"We can't assume that though. What if it is some random person trying to rob me or something?" Steph said as she looked back to her kitchen. Before Vade could give a proper reply Steph had gone back to her kitchen as the sound of someone struggling grabbed her attention. Steph peeked into her kitchen to see two hands on her window sill. Seconds later a cloaked figure stood in her kitchen simply staring at her.
They both stood there simply observing each other, neither making a move towards the other. Steph opened her mouth to speak but was silenced by the figure raising a slender arm in a stopping motion. (AN: I wanted to add Japanese into this but I couldn't find a proper translation from anything on the internet so if it is Italics it is Japanese) "You have something of mine." The cloaked figure said in a calm and measured voice. Steph couldn't help but smile as the voice was very familiar to her "I know and I also know who you are" Steph said in a sweet and innocent voice.
The cloaked figure took a small step back as they hadn't been expecting a response in fluent Japanese. Steph gave a small smile before revealing the soul gem that was cradled gently in her hands. "When I saw it I assumed the worse. When I saw you climbing up I knew that you were within range so I waited for you." Steph said with a smile as she extended her arms, offering the diamond shaped gem to its rightful owner. "I know who you are Homura. Does that mean witches exist in this world? Or wraiths maybe?" Steph asked with a calm and warm smile. The figure pulled back the hood of their cloak to reveal face. "How do you know me and the darkness that plagues this world." The now uncloaked Homura asked "You should not be actively aware of the threats of this world neither should you know who I am" Homura continued in a rigid formal tone.
