Me:...

Zero: Why so quiet? You're usually as annoying as Nina.

Nina: Hey! Stop insulting her! *smack Zero.

Zero:Ow!

Ichii: -_- fighting again? It's early in the morning.

Me:...I don't own anything...Chapter 4 Date

Zero POV

I propably look like a huge dolt for jumping on the bed, but I'm just too happy! She said YES! She said she'd be my date to Forte's formal party. Ichii started to look at me with a weird face.

"What are you doing?" He said slowly, like a parent trying to comprehend a child.

I stopped jumping and gave him a best goofy smile. "You remember the party we have to attend to...right?"

Ichii slowly nodded, not taking his eyes off me. "Well...Forte said we could bring someone with us, so I asked Nina to go with me" I said and resumed jumping.

"OK, So I'm guessing she said yes?" Ichii smirked.

I stopped jumping and nodded feverishly. I couldn't stop smiling, could this be a sign that Nina likes me? I sat down on the edge of my bed and glanced at Ichii.

"You do know we need the permission of the officials right?" Ichii stated.

Oh, I totally almost forgot about that. Since Nina is human with NO magical abilities, in oder to get in our world she needs the permit from one of the officials.

"Do you plan on calling Will?" I asked.

Ichii nodded. "Yea"

While Ichii dialed Will, I wanted to check on my wardrobe...and maybe ask Sarasa to see if she has an extra dress for Nina. I got my phone and dialed for Jeff, or Sarasa.

"Hello?" said Jan

I smiled at my nephews voice. "Hey there buddy!"

"Zero!" He greeted excitedly

I chuckled and said "How's my favorite nephew? Are you being good?"

I could feel him nod and smile through the phone. "Uh-huh, Mom and Dad are both in their rooms. They keep talking about you Zero. Are you hurt?" He said with concern.

I froze. Does Jan know then? Does he know how critical my condition is? I swallowed and said. "Uh, How much have you heard" I said seriously.

Jan paused, I could hear him shuffle with his feet on the phone. "Not much, it's usually muffled and-"

He was cut off. "Jan?" I asked

"Zero is that you?"

Sarasa! "Hey, ya it's me" I said.

"How are you doing? How's Nina?" asked Sarasa.

"Speaking of Nina" I said and fipped on the bed. "I need to know if you have an extra dress for Forte's party"

"Ya I think I have." She paused in hesitation. "Zero, Ichii is suspecting something about your health."

I groaned was there ever a time when NO ONE tries to mention about my poor health?

"Look Sarasa, thanks for the concern, but we talked about this!" I said coldly and tugged my hair in frustration.

She sighed. "Ok" and hanged up.

I already regret for being rude to my sister-in-law.

Ichii POV

Nina and I were on the floor of her room, playing go fish. I honestly have NO idea how to play this game! I know I should have listened to Nina's explaination, but my mind is too preocuppied.

"Ichii! Your not doing it right!" Nina stated and smiled.

I sighed. "Sorry Nina, it's just my mind is all jumbled up right now."

Nina shrugged and took a sip of her tea. "Does it concern our blue haired friend?"

"Yea..." I trailed off.

Nina held my hand. "Don't worry, Zero may not be the brightest person we've met, but he wasn't born yesterday. I trust him and his actions, so what I'm trying to say is that Zero has reasons on why he's keeping a secret on us."

I could only bite my tongue. It's obvious that Nina cares deeply about Zero. I could only sile. I guess this means it's unrequited love for me, but I'm still a supporter of love.

"Heh, your right. Say Nina, do you know what you're going to wear for the Formal party?" I asked.

Nina shook her head. "Zero said your older sister may have an extra dress for me"

I laughed. Sarasa has a lot of dresses, shoes and bags you name it! Jeff seemed to get her a lot of trinkets. "Ya she definitely has"

"Hold on, I have to call the officials for your permit." I said and got up.

Nina POV

I looked at Zura and Pearl curled up on the little bed I made. A smile tugged my lips. They're both so cute! I got up and walked to the ajointing room, that apparently Zero and Ichii made the last time they were here, with magic.

I lightly tapped the door. No answer. I opened the door and found a sleeping Zero. I walked over to him and sat on his bed, and played with his aqua hair.

I layed on his bed and played with his hir. I intently stared at his face. He looks so pacefull and kissed his forehead. I breathe in his scent, mint. I giggled and pressed my body closer to his.

Zero.

There is this butterfly feeling in my stomach that I can't seem to shake off, when I think of his name. I touched his face then his lips. Do I like you this much?

His eyes fluttered open, showing his aquamarine eyes that matched his hair. My heart pounded quickly that it hurts. I could feel my face heat up, as I held my breath. He caught me.

He chuckled softly. "Hello there Nina."

My jaws tightened and untightened. I thought of words to say but nothing escapes my lips. Zero lifted his hand and cupped my face, he leaned closer to me. Lips brushing mine, I pressed closer to him, only to realize that he's only wearing boxers.

I gulped and looked intently into his eyes. I could tell in his eyes that he's feeling a mixed of emotions.

"Zero" I said quietly.

"Nina" He replied with the same intensity.

His lips crashed into mine and all I could think of was me and Zero.

Zero POV

Her soft lips taste like strawberries, our hands roamed each other. Her hands were on my chest slowly moving to my back. I placed my right hand on the arc of her back to press her closer to me, my left hand slipped inside her shirt.

I could only think of lust, and Nina...

The next morning I woke up to find that I am not alone on my own bed. I glanced down to see Nina. Memories of last night came into my mind. My cheeks must be red, for remembering last night.

I could feel Nina shuffle underneath my arms. Did we really go ALL out? I never got to say I love you.

"Stupid. Stupid." I muttered.

"Zero?" Nina said groggily

I cleared my throat and answered her "Yes, Nina."

"I'm hungry" she said quietly.

I chuckled and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. She looked up to meet my gaze. Her hazel eyes, showed sincerity, and...love.

"Then maybe we should get out of bed" I said suggestively

She grumbled complains, but got out of bed. She turned around "What do you want for breakfast, Zero?" She titled her head.

I grinned and hugged her by the waist line. "Hmmm, would pancakes be enough?" I mumbled.

She giggled and poked my cheek. "You're so used to having servants, that you actually tought I'd cook you breakfast" she teased.

I pouted and said in my best baby voice. "PPPPWWWEEAAASSSEE?"

She laughed and said yes, as she got up to get ready. I couldn't help, but feel like I forgot to say something important. Especially last night...what happened at last night ayway.

Me: short chap, sorry.

Zero: I have no comment about this chapter.

Ichii: why? realized you aren't that romantic enough for Nina?

Zero: NO!

Ichii: ^-^ uh-uh

Nina: boys -_- Please Review and tell us what you think!
