Time to celebrate!

Disclaimer: I only own Lili, Keke, Sasa, Yeye, Jeje, Mina, Mizuno, Suki, Yuki, Kaoru, the Naotos, Mia, Hikaru, Leon, Tooru and Fujio's families, this celebration and everyone's past. Trista is of Sailor Moon. Few more secrets revealed. I edited the fifth chapter so you should go read it again. I only changed a few words. Unless you pay attention to the first part of Yuki's explanation, you'll probably be like, 'it's the same!' or 'nothing's changed!' Still, go READ IT or DON'T read this chapter.

The week of preparations went by. And today, it was time for the CELEBRATION!!!!

~At the MAHO-dou~

Doremi sighed. Hadzuki tried to cheer her up, "Oh, come on Doremi-chan. Akatsuki-kun's just leaving for a day." Kaoru agreed, "Yea, it's not like we're going to disappear, never to be seen again." Doremi smiled.

Majo Rika flew in and shouted, "By the time I get back, I expect to see a big pile of money! You hear me?!" Lala came and dragged her away.

POOF! POOF! POOF! POOF! "AKATSUKI-KUN!!!" Doremi shouted and tackled him to the ground. Again. Fujio just bowed. "Tooru-kun!" Yuki shouted making Onpu sigh. "SA SA!" Sasa flew to Tooru as fast as possible. "Ye Ye!" Yeye flew to him as well, but at normal speed. Leon slowly crept away not wanting to be crushed.

Onpu heard something and went to the cash register. There was a girl about her age. She had a light skin tone and honey-colored hair. Her bangs were very similar to Mikan Sakura from Gakuen Alice. Her eyes were bright red. She carried a sincere smile as well. Her hair was done into a high ponytail similar to Ino from Naruto. She was wearing magenta colored hoop earrings, a full-sleeved claret red top with magenta hearts at the bottom right-hand side and a pair of jeans.

Onpu was getting the cookies she wanted. Yuki dragged Tooru in, holding his hand so he wouldn't try to get to the Witch World first. "What's going on, Onpu-chan?" Yuki asked the child idol. Onpu saw what Yuki was doing and dropped the bag she was carrying the cookies in.

Onpu snapped out of her trance and apologized to the girl, "Honto ni gomen-nasai. Honto ni gomen-nasai. HONTO NI GOMEN-NASAI!!!" She kept apologizing until the girl forgave her, "Daijoub. Daijoub." Onpu said, "I'll go get some more." The girl nodded, "Don't worry. I'll wait."

Onpu ran to the kitchen and started working on the cookies. While they were waiting for the cookies to bake, the girl asked Tooru and Yuki, "Are you two a couple?" Everyone heard this and rushed to the door to hear the answer, in other words, they were eaves dropping. Akatsuki, Fujio and Leon went to Tooru and Yuki. "Watch this." They said to the witch and wizard apprentices. Onpu also turned her head to know the answer, and sweat dropped as the guys came.

Tooru and Yuki looked at each other and then their hands. Yuki let go of his hand. Tooru threw his hands up in the air in exasperation, "Great (!) First it was with Suki and now Yuki, what's next?" Onpu kicked her foot against the table out of reflex and bit her lower lip. Pain. Pain. She stated mentally. Fujio whispered in Tooru's ear and he gave him a look, "She'd rather hold my ear."

Yuki walked over to the girl and giggled, "I'm sorry, you're mistaken, we're not a couple." The girl looked at her confused, "Then why were you holding his hand?" Yuki giggled some more, "We have to go visit some childhood friends. He wanted to go first and I had to stop him because we aren't supposed to go yet." The girl nodded indicating she understood as Onpu gave a relieved sigh.

Leon put this arm around his turquoise-haired friend, "Tooru-kun. Admit it. You like Yuki-chan." Tooru immediately blushed and shouted, "No I don't!" Akatsuki asked, "So you hate her then?" Tooru looked towards the young prince, "What?! No I don't!" Fujio stated, "There's no point in denying the truth." Tooru looked towards his smart friend, "What truth? We're just friends." Akatsuki put his hand to his chin, "Now, where have I heard that before (?)"

Tooru sighed and pushed them into the doorway where the witch and wizard apprentices were eaves dropping so the three wizards fell on them. Tooru sighed and muttered to himself, "Why can't you guys understand how painful it is to remember 'her'."

TING! The cookies were done. Onpu took them out, secretly poured in the magical ingredient, wrapped them up and gave them to the girl. She paid for them but before she left, Onpu asked her, "What's your name?" The girl looked confused, closed her eyes and smiled at the same time before saying, "Saionji Mina." Onpu waved her goodbye and came back inside. The guys, Yuki and Kaoru had already left.

~In the Wizard World~

Akatsuki turned around to the two people behind him. Kaoru, Yuki and Tooru had been dropped off at the Witch World. "Well guys, see you at the party." He said. "See you there." Fujio replied. "It better be good. I'm just kidding! See you there, Your Royal Highness, Prince Shidoosa Akatsuki." Leon bowed mockingly. Akatsuki groaned. "Didn't we agree that if we'd be friends, we'd treat other like normal people?" He replied emphasizing the last two words. Leon just grinned and walked off.

~With Fujio~

After twenty minutes of being walking, the orange-haired wizard finally reached his house. He opened the door to find that the house was cleaner than it's usual self and smiled.

Today, he got to go and visit his real dad's grave. Oh, how he missed him, but at least he got along with step-father. At first he wasn't very nice to the man but after a talk with his mom, he tried, he tried it for her sake and after a while, the man didn't seem bad at all. In fact, they had a lot in common. He also didn't mind calling him 'Otou-san' anymore.

"Otou-san, I'm home." He announced. "Ah, Fujio, you're home. I have a surprise for you. Here put this on." His step-father handed him a blindfold. Fujio, being the obedient child he was, took it and put it on.

He led Fujio towards the living room. Once inside, they stopped, "You can take it off now, Fujio." He did and Fujio's eyes gleamed with happiness and his mouth opened out of shock and happiness.

His mother was standing there, arms wide open. Fujio went to her and hugged her, tears forming in his eyes. "How've you been, Fujio?" she asked her son, who was still hugging her. "Fine, mom." Fujio replied, his voice muffled. She smiled, "I'm glad."

~With Leon~

As soon as Leon came into sight of the house, his smile disappeared but he entered anyway. Not like he had a choice. "LEON! Are you home?!" Leon sighed, "Hai, Oji-chan!" "Well, come on then, get to work!" Leon went to the kitchen "Hai, Oji-chan!"

~With Akatsuki~

The young prince made his way to the castle, he stopped on the way when he was absolutely sure that his two wizard friends were out of far away enough, he turned around and looked towards the portal that led to the Witch World. I hope you come to my birthday party, Mizu-chan. He told Mizu-chan mentally. He turned back and continued his journey towards the castle. Oh well, can't do anything but hope. It's her choice anyway.

When he got to the castle, "HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS, PRINCE SHIDOOSA AKATSUKI HAS ARRIVED!" shouted the gatekeeper to the castle. Akatsuki sweat-dropped, Sheesh (!) Can't you get any louder (?)

When he got inside the castle, Oyajide surprised Akatsuki. He blew a party blower. He took it out of his mouth, "Happy birthday, Akatsuki-kun!" The birthday boy sighed, "I'm not a kid anymore, Oyajide. Is Okaa-san here yet?" Oyajide nodded his head, "Well, I'm going to go find them." and with that the prince walked off. Oyajide groaned and complained to no-one in particular, "Hm! I buy this stuff and what do I get? Ignorance. Hm!"

~With Kaoru~

Kaoru was already inside the house. She and her grandmother were alone in the house. Both enjoying their moments together. They were listening to Kaoru play her ocarina.

She loved it more than life itself. She loved it so much; she'd risk her life for it. Why, you ask? The reason was because, it was the only thing she had to remember her onii-chan. Sure she could ask obaa-chan to tell her stories but they'd only make the old woman sad even trying to remember her grandson's childhood. Sometimes the blonde herself wondered how his childhood was.

"Obaa-chan?" Kaoru asked after she stopped playing her ocarina. "Yes, Kaoru?" Her grandma asked her grand-daughter. "Why won't you tell me onii-chan's name?" Kaoru asked staring at her ocarina. Her grandma gave a light gasp and sighed. She couldn't tell her the truth. Idea. Her grandma smiled, "Because you told me that you'd find your onii-chan all on your own. Remember?"

Kaoru looked at her grandma, "Oh yea. Hey come on Obaa-san! Let's go get ready for the party. I'll even help you pick out an outfit." Without giving her grandma time to answer, Kaoru took her arm and dragged her out of the room.

~With Tooru and Yuki~

Tooru and Yuki had to walk a very long distance. Yuki wanted to surprise her friends and carer. Tooru had no choice but to agree. "Yu *pant* ki *pant* -chan, *pant* can *pant* we *pant* stop *pant* for *pant* a *pant* rest *pant*?" Tooru asked trying his best to keep up. "Hm? Did you say something, Tooru-kun?" Yuki turned around. Tooru sweat dropped, "Never mind."

After a while Tooru and Yuki made it to their destination. Tooru screamed to no-one in particular, "FINALLY!! We made it!!!"

""Did you hear that?" a little girl's voice asked.

"Un. It sounds very familiar." a boy's voice replied as Yuki and Tooru smiled.

"Maybe Tooru-kun and Yuki-chan finally arrived." A very familiar girl's voice spoke up.

Tooru and Yuki made their way towards the building. As soon as they entered,

"YUKI-CHAN!! TOORU-KUN!! YOU CAME!!" shouted Mia and Hikaru at the same time. They were sitting at a table. On the other side, Majo Heart and a girl with slightly dark skin tone, bangs very similar to Mikan Sakura from Gakuen Alice, bright magenta eyes, a sincere smile, long claret red hair which reached her mid-waist that was left open, a full-sleeved magenta top with claret red sparkles at the bottom right-hand side, a pink skirt and a ruby pendant were drinking tea. The tea drinking duo looked up.

Tooru smiled as both females put down their cups, "Majo Heart! You came!" Majo Heart smiled as well, "Why wouldn't I?" Tooru totally forgot the witch's temper and hugged her with tears of joy flowing out of his eyes. Strangely enough, she didn't shout at him but she smiled at him instead.

(Yuki's flashback)

"It hurts Majo Heart! It hurts! It hurts!" Young Tooru cried as Majo Heart tied a bandage around his left foot. "Calm down, Tooru. It's what you get for climbing that tree. I told you you'd fall. Just give it time to heal. As a matter of fact, here drink this." Majo Heart gave him a glass of orange liquid.

Tooru gladly drank the whole glass and smiled, "Sugoi! This tastes great! And my foot doesn't hurt anymore! What is it?" "It's my special pain-killing drink!" Tooru laughed as Majo Heart started to tickle him when she said, 'pain'.

Young girls, Suki and Yuki were peeking through the door. Yuki looked up at Suki and asked, "Are you sure this is okay Suki-chan?" Suki nodded. Yuki moved her head towards the scene again.

When Majo Heart stopped tickling him, he hugged her and said, "Majo Heart, you're the best doctor ever!"

Yuki smiled.

(Flashback end)

Yuki smiled at the scene. She hadn't seen it in a long time. If only Suki could witness this scene again.

She turned towards the girl and bowed, "Nice to see you again, Mizu-chan." Mizu-chan got up and said, "You don't have to bow, Yuki-chan. We're family in here aren't we?" She then hugged Yuki who gasped. That's what Suki-chan said when you first arrived here; Mizu-chan. Yuki smiled and hugged her back.

After the hugging was over, Yuki led the group to their traditional annual destination with Tooru right behind her.

~With Akatsuki~

Akatsuki was taking a walk through the castle with his father. "Akatsuki, did you make sure to invite 'her'?" Akatsuki replied ticking something on his clipboard, "Hai. I just hope she comes." "I'm sure she will. And if she doesn't we'll have to get our guards to drag her here." The duo chuckled. "Anyway, did you invite your friends?" His dad asked serious again. "How could I forget them?" Akatsuki replied with a rhetorical question. His dad sighed as Akatsuki looked up at him questioningly, "I meant your other friends, Akatsuki." The boy looked confused and blinked. Then it came to him. The two hairs on his head twitched, indicating his use of magic. His father asked as he moved forward, "You forgot didn't you?" Akatsuki pouted for a second and ran to catch up with his father, "Otou-san! Chotto matte!"

~With Tooru and Yuki~

They'd just come back from their destination. Yuki announced, "I'll go make some tea!" She headed towards the kitchen.

About ten minutes later, they heard a (CRASH) followed by Yuki's scream which slowly faded away. Tooru came running in and his eyes opened as wide as they could at the sight of his view.

There was a hole in the wall, wide enough to let a person come in or get out. And on the floor was Yuki, unconscious near several broken pieces of china. But the thing that shocked him most was the mark on the wall. It seemed to be made by blood. It was a cross. It could only mean one thing. He shouted to the door of the kitchen, "Majo Heart! Mizu-chan! Get over here!"

They did after hearing the crash and Yuki's scream followed by Tooru's command. The trio walked over to Yuki. Tooru touched her head and Majo Heart and Tooru shouted at the same, "She's got a fever!" Mizu-chan was actually creeped out by Majo Heart and Tooru's simultaneous outburst. Tooru continued, "And not a normal one at that….It's the same as…..." He trailed off and a tear made its way out of his eye. Gomen-nasai, Suki-chan.

He carried Yuki all the way to her room without a word. Everyone except Mia and Hikaru knew what why. The two kids were scared. They'd never seen Tooru like that. And they didn't like it one bit.

~At the MAHO-dou~

Doremi was pacing. The shop had just closed. The girls just closed the shop early because in a strange way, they felt….empty.

"Doremi-chan, would you calm down? It's just been an hour." Aiko tried to calm down her pacing friend. POOF! An invitation fell from above and into Doremi's hand. Momoko asked, "What is it?" Doremi shrugged. "Open it! Open it!" Hana-chan chanted. Doremi nodded and opened the envelope with a card inside it.

Doremi read it aloud, "Harukaze Doremi, Fujiwara Hadzuki, Senoo Aiko, Segawa Onpu, Asuka Momoko, Makihatayama Hana, Koizumi Marina, Tetsuya Kotake, Takao Kimura, Yada Masaru, Takeshi Hasebe," each one of them perked up at the mention of their name. Doremi continued, "You all have been invited to His Royal Highness Shidoosa Akatsuki's birthday party." Doremi smiled but continued, "You will be picked up in a Royal Carriage at exactly 5:00pm today. Please be ready by then."

All the girls looked at each other as Doremi glanced at the clock and screamed, "AAAAAAH! We only have half an hour to get ready and get him a present! AAAAH!"

Everyone sweat dropped. "Maybe we should just go casually." Marina suggested. Doremi screamed at her, "Are you crazy?! This is Akatsuki-kun's birthday! Akatsuki-kun, I tell you! My beloved Akatsuki-kun! There is no way we can go casually!!!!" Aiko sighed, "No offence Doremi, but you're startin' to sound like Oyajide-san."

Kotake walked out of the shop. Doremi noticed this, "Where are you going, Kotake-kun?" Everyone moved their gaze towards Kotake. He smiled, "I'm going to get Shidoosa-kun a present. It's his birthday after all." He winked and ran. Everyone understood and got to get Akatsuki their birthday present.
