Thanks for all the reviews~! And by the way, Shiden needs more love. Yes.

Disclaimer: I don't.

"I guess I better thank Mutsuki when I see him tomorrow," Anis said before taking a bite off the sandwich Seiran offered her.

"Anis-sama," He hesitated before continuing. "Have you noticed how strange Kaede has been acting after his date with Mikage-san?"

Anis brought her hands down to her lap and looked down. She lost her appetite again. She was knew Seiran would bring this up, yet she couldn't say a word.

"It's called love, Blue Rose," Mitsuru said noticing a change in their Dominion. "Two people having the same feelings for each other, their hearts beating as one, making everyday rose colored—" He went on as Anis stayed silent.

"I'm sure Asagi-kun gets the idea, Tenjoh-kun..." Itsushi said to shut him up. He then glanced over at the girl's direction.

She kept her head down, avoiding the questioning looks she was being given. A black cat-like creature then bit off the bread in her hands. "Ninufa will eat this if ya don't," He gave her a grin after swallowing.

Anis gave Ninufa a quick pat on the head. "Guys," She started. "Assemble here tomorrow. I'll tell you everything then."

"Everything...?" Seiran asked tilting his head to the side.

"I'll explain tomorrow, okay?"

Shiden loved watching the moon light up the night sky on rare occasions. "Shiden! Get me tea!" Oh, were they rare.

He went to the kitchen and prepared some tea and sweets. Sure his Mikage can get annoying at times but she was his Dominion and he her Rhode Knight even if they were fake. While not on the battlefield, he tends to her needs around the mansion as her butler.

As the tea was ready, he placed the pot on a tray along with two cups. Shiden knew he'd be there again. He shrugged off the thought and went his way.

"I see she has a new toy," said a boy with ashen hair and mismatched eyes as he passed by.

"..." The Purple Rhode Knight ignored him. They never really saw eye-to-eye.

"She can't have him forever though," The boy added before he disappeared at the corner.

Shiden wasn't going to let that faze him. "Here is your tea, milady," He announced as he arrived at the balcony overlooking a small garden.

Mikage was at the edge of the balcony with the Red Rhode Knight admiring the scenery. Shiden proceeded to serve the tea on the table, picking up pieces of their conversation.

"I know, right?" She said before breaking into a giggle fit. Kaede only seemed to be nodding after her every sentence.

The Purple Rhode Knight turned to leave after setting up.

"Thank you, Shiden!"

He paused for a second before going his way, smiling as he left.

Now, if only he was out of the picture.

The next day, the Knights, minus Kaede, assembled at the library as ordered by their Dominion.

"Mikage... She's Domina Galacta," Anis finally said.

"I... see..." Seiran trailed off, clearly stunned and worried about his fellow Rhode Knight and friend. He caused Kaede grief because of the fake memories he gave him so he thought it was only right to feel bad.

"Then, Red Rose was..." Mitsuru stopped before he could finish his sentence.

Anis nodded. "Yeah..."

Mutsuki watched them quietly and leaned on a bookshelf with his arms crossed over his chest. No more Kaede meant less competition for him, still he couldn't help but wonder...

"Have you tried summoning him after that night?"

Anis looked away and clenched her fists. Never summon me ever again. "No, I haven't."

He furrowed his eyebrows. "Summon him. Now. I'll give him a good beating."

Everyone blinked and eyed Mutsuki curiously because it was the first time they heard him talk like that.

The Rose Princess shook her head and took out her cards. Black, White, Blue and... gray...? Her eyes widened in shock. "W-what... is this?" Her hands shook as she held the cards. The Red Rose card seemed as if it was losing its color and pattern.

The guardian beast of the cards hovered over her for closer inspection. He perched himself on her shoulder. "Red Rose is... fading..."

"But, how can that be?" The Blue Rhode Knight went over to her and looked at the card in her hand.

The White and Black Rhode Knights stayed mysteriously silent after hearing what Ninufa just said.

Anis tried to regain her composure and brought the card to her lips.

"..."

They expected a swarm of red rose petals to fill the room, but nothing happened.

"What..?" She uttered before giving it another kiss. "Wh-why?" She felt her heart sink. She proceeded to kiss it several times more.

"Anis-sama!" Seiran held onto her free hand in an attempt to calm her down.

"Why... why wont he come out?" She choked back her tears. She gave it one more kiss before her eyes flooded her cheeks. "Kaede... come out..." She sobbed.

Mitsuru hated to see his Domina devastated yet he couldn't do a thing. He raised a brow as someone behind him stepped forward and wrapped their arms around her small frame. The student council president smirked at the scene. Mutsuki took advantage of the situation. He wanted to pry him away from her, but decided to let it slide since Anis needed it.

Anis gasped at the sudden action, surprised that the Black Rose was capable of doing it. Normally, she'd be furious but she was too depressed and confused to push him away. She grabbed fistfuls of his uniform and buried her head on his chest. She then remembered the dream she had yesterday.

That's right... I can't let this hold me back now.

"I'll get him back. I'll definitely get him back..."

Elsewhere,

Kaede was on his way home from the mansion. He was relieved when Mikage finally let him go after begging him to stay several times.

Relieved?

He wanted to be with her more than anyone, but he was afraid of what Anis might do to him.

Wait, Anis?

"Guh!" He clutched his chest as he felt a sharp pain. He knelt at the foot of the staird leading up to the Kaede Shrine and pulled at his collar to loosen up his uniform to ease his breathing.

"No... Mikage... Domina Galacta is my Dominion now."

I almost got stuck again. Writer's block working its way in my system. I originally wanted to finish this before summer break ends, but I'm not so sure now.

Anyway, please make me happy by clicking the review button, riiiight there!
