Good evening everyone! Thank you for waiting for my chapter. I hope your Christmas and New Years went well. I don't know if this will be a long chapter or not but I hope that it is a decent update because right now my world is spinning out of control. Anyway, my Dad is still struggling and he is still in need of prayer. Please continue your prayers.

Chapter 7

(Kissa's POV)

Well, according to Tsukasa, the girls would need protection and roomed them in a way that he what was needed. So, here is the lineup…

Nade was with me

Kukai and Utau

Nagi and Rima

Kairi and Yaya

Ikuto and Amu

I guess he felt that since I was the priestess, then I could protect Nade well enough. It would be interesting to see how each of them reacted to their new roommates.

"Alright everyone, please follow me to your rooms. I know that the sleeping arrangements will be a tad different but since you and your roommate work well in sparring, they too will be your roommate," I explained. I waited until this dawned on everyone to learn who their they would be sleeping near…

"WHAT! There is no way and repeat No Way that I will sleep next to him!" Rima shouted.

"Hey, I am not that bad, besides, we can talk about how we can improve your battling skills" Nagi responded.

Everyone complained a little but not too badly as I showed them all to their rooms.

(Ikuto's POV)

"Amu, you're going to be okay" I told her as she just cried. "I know that it is hard, but the more we train, the sooner we can go after Tadase and his master. We will avenge them and then we will decide what to do with your crown. If you choose to, you can rule as your parents wanted you to do or come back here. It's up to you. But first we need to defeat Darkness. Please work with me so that we can complete our mission" I told her softly. She looked up at me and as the tears streamed down her face, she said "We will avenge them, no matter what. We have to."

"Alright, let's go to our room. Tsukasa has roomed us together. I promise not to do anything you don't want me to do" I said with a smirk. She giggled then slapped me as we walked out of the room.

(Tadase's POV)

"Master Darkness, the Priestess has been destroyed. My men have confirmed the bodies within the house of the Hinamori's. The men that were sent to kill her were also killed" I reported.

"You fool! The Priestess still lives, I can feel her power has not gone out. Did you personally see the body? Or did you just take their word for it?" Darkness replied condescendingly.

"No, I did not see the body. What do you wish for me to do? Should I report home so that my uncle does not suspect me?" I asked.

"Yes, we do not need him to learn whose side you are really on" Darkness agreed.

***On my way home***

I picked up my phone and called my uncle. "Ojiisan konnichiwa, gomen for not calling sooner. I was at a friend's house. I won't stay out stay out so long next time. I wanted to tell you I will be there in about 30 minutes. Do you want anything from the store?"

"No, arigato for the call. I was worried about you. Onegai don't do that anymore" Ojiisan replied.

"Hai" I said.

***Tsukasa's house***

(Tsukasa's POV)

As I hung up, I knew I would have to keep everyone hidden. This will be interesting I thought sarcastically. I picked up the phone again and called Kissa.

"Tadase is coming back, keep everyone away, especially Amu. Do NOT let them see each other. Use your magic or skills whatever you call them and hide everyone from his sight." I instructed her.

"Hai, wakatta I will make sure we are hidden" Kissa assured me.

(Kissa's POV)

I quickly walked back to my room, grabbed my glass ball. I pointed my ring at while concentrating on my spell. As I concentrated an invisible wall came up between the house and the observatory. Then I concentrated on a new spell that would allow our entire party to disappear into another dimension. This way, they would not be discovered before it was time.

(Tsukasa's POV)

I felt the dimension twist in and out and knew what Kissa had done. At least I did not have to worry about Tadase finding out about Amu and the others.

"Ojiisan! I am home" Tadase exclaimed as he walked in to door.

"Good evening Tadase, how are doing? How was your friend's house?" I asked him.

"It was fun, I know I stayed out too long but I need to go out again. I have a really important project that I am working on and I need to get it done" he told me.

"Well, if it is part of your grade, then it can't be helped. I need to go on a business trip myself. I will be gone around 2 weeks. As you know, there is training that I need to complete and it cannot be done here" I explained to Tadase.

"Arigato Ojiisan" he said. "Do you mind if I leave tonight? Or would you like me to stay the night? And when do you leave for your trip?

"I leave tomorrow morning and I don't mind if you leave tonight" I replied. Tadase gave me a hug and walked back out the door. I sighed in relief as I watched him leave. One crisis averted.
