It had been a few days since Black*Star and Tsubaki met Vanessa, Yuki and Yuri. They all seemed to get along well. Black*Star still hasn't been going to the academy though. Vanessa hasn't gone home either. They've just been getting to know each other, getting closer and closer. The sleeping patterns haven't changed either.

Right now the five were leaving the mall with six bags worth of clothes. "You know I will never understand why girls like shopping for clothes so much" Black*Star said. "You better shut it blue spike ball" Yuri said. "And not ALL girls like shopping for clothes. Take me for example; I don't like shopping for clothes as much as go buying video games" Vanessa said. "Touché Vanessa" Black*Star said narrowing his eyes at her.

Vanessa rolls her eyes playfully with a chuckle. "Well anyway, when are we going to the academy?" Vanessa asked. Black*Star tensed up and looked away. He really doesn't want to see Maka or Soul. Vanessa sighs and stops, grabbing Black*Star by his arm so he could stop too. "Look, I get that you don't want to see your ex and stuff, but you have to suck it up and be a man about. The academy needs you and yeah, you may be just one person, but you could be that ONE person that they need there the most" Vanessa said.

Black *Star stared at Vanessa, thinking about everything she said. He knew that she was absolutely right, about everything. "You're right, I'll go tomorrow. Besides, you have to come along too if you wanna see your family" Black*Star said with a half-smile. Vanessa shows one of her own and hugs Black*Star tight. He hugged her back with a tighter grip.

"I can taste the cheese from here" Yuri said. "Hey, be nice" Yuki said, lightly slapping Yuri's arm.

"Sorry, that isn't in my nature."

"Well you're pretty nice to me so I beg to differ."

"You're my sister, it's different."

"Sure."

Yuri glares at Yuki and pushes her lightly. Yuki giggles and pushes Yuri back lightly. "Alright you all can we go back already? This damn heat is killing me" Yuri said getting impatient. "So impatient" Vanessa teases, looking at Yuri.

"Shut up and walk…"

*At the house*

"Alright ladies and gent, dinner is served" Vanessa said while she passes a plate of Sukiyaki with a side of Kimchi Jjigae to everyone. "Wow Vanessa this looks really good" Tsubaki said smiling. "Smells really good too" Black*Star said, his mouth watering at the sight of the food. Vanessa chuckled and shook her head. "Dig in everyone" Vanessa said smiling. "aren't you going to eat?" Tsubaki asked.

"Damn straight I'm gonna eat. I just need to clean myself off a bit" Vanessa said then goes back to the kitchen. "Your meister is something else" Tsubaki chuckles, looking at Yuki and Yuri. "Yeah but that's why we love her" Yuki said smiling. "She's alright" Yuri said with a shrug.

"Oh come on you know you love her."

"She's cool I guess."

"You stubborn little…"

Yuri winked at her sister and started to eat. "Alright I'm back and ready to stuff myself" Vanessa said while she sat next to Black*Star. Everyone chuckled and started to eat. When they were done Vanessa took up everyone's bowl and put them in the sink. "Wow Vanessa dinner was really good." Tsubaki compliments with a smile. "Thanks. I learned how to make that when I was ten years old." Vanessa said with a smile.

"You were taught well then."

"Mmm, yeah kinda. Well anyways I think I'm gonna go to bed."

"We all should be going to bed actually. We have to go to the DWMA tomorrow morning."

So with that, everyone went to their respected sleeping places in the house and went to bed.

Hey guys, I know that I don't post fast but these things take time. All I ask is that you bear with me. I know this chapter isn't long but it's not supposed to be. Thank you to those that still believe in me. I love you all, hugs and kisses, and I hope you're all happy and well.
