Despite how Tiffania is when it comes to street sense, the Half Elf more than made up for it in book smarts as show in her classes in the past few days since the two declared their love to each other. So far, the female had a very good grasp on Water, Earth and Wind magic and is developing in her Fire. The private lessons that Colbert Sensei have been giving the girl to help her catch up to the other classes have gone far faster than either could have expected. At this point, Tiffania could be considered a weak square mage or a strong triangle mage and it is growing with each class she takes. The same could not be said for a specific pink hair girl who was gritting her teeth at not only having the same classes as her but also seeing her develops in her spells while she continued to fail at the most basic.

"What in the heck, why can't I do these spells?!" Louise shouted failing to transmute rocks to brass.

"It could be that you are a Void witch." One student said who was sitting next to her.

"Then explain how the hell she is doing it, we share the same element…" Louise said pointing her wand at the girl as an explosion came from the caster of the spell. She coughed releasing smoke from her mouth. "Dammit!" She yelled as the teacher decided that it would be best to end the class early to prevent someone else from getting hurt. Everyone took their leave as Tiffania blended in with the crowd towards her room due to this being her last class. She was surprised that many people were asking questions about her; more often than not they were staring at the poor girl which made her embarrassed to get so many stares.

"That won't work." A male voice was heard from the elf's room as she opened it to see a sight her didn't think she would see. Saito was surrounded by book upon book. "Oh, hey Tiffa, how was class?"

"It was fun, although Louise blew herself up once again." She said as she put her books on a table next to the door. "What you reading?" Tiffa asked putting her hands on the top of the chair her familiar was sitting in. this resulted in her two gifts being pressed against Saito's neck and head.

"I was trying to find a way to bring a special tree to this world but I can't find any way for it be created." Saito said closing the book in front of him and placed it on a small tower of books he has already went through.

"I didn't think you would like books?"

"Well, when they are the only source of information in this world other than gossip, you are forced to do stuff you don't like." Saito said remembering the days of the internet and of the tree he was looking for. "Ugh, I feel like my head is going to explode if I go through one more book." Saito said slamming his head on the table and it began to hurt from all the useless information he head went through.

"Would you like some time to help you relax?" Tiffa asked already moving to a cabinet to fetch a pot and a bag which appeared to contain tea bags.

"That would be nice, what I would give for some painkillers."

"Pain…killers?"

"Sorry, something that helped dull the pain at any part of the body." He said as he rose from the chair and stretched his body. The fact that he had glued himself to the chair for the past six hours meant he was stiff. Saito walked to the windowsill and stared out into the grounds to see many of the noble's children conversing and eating there noble food. The only thing that sat out in this was that Siesta was walking around serving said nobles. "Wait… if Siesta knew about that Zero Fighter, could the fighter have…" Siato said as energy started coursing through his body. "I'll be right back Tiffa!" Saito said grabbing his sword and dashed out of the room leaving the poor girl with two cups of tea. Saito ran down flight after flight of stairs until he reached the grounds that he was looking at a moment ago.

"Saito, you look like you just ran a couple of kilometers, is everything ok?" Siesta said as she was passing the guy to deliver some biscuits

"Siesta… do you… know anything about… a tree with pedals…" Saito said in between gasps of air.

"Yes, I actually know of a one but no one owns that land." She said as Saito grabbing her by the shoulders which made her blush at the sight.

"Really, you have to show me." Saito said having trouble hiding his excitement.

"I-It is just twenty minutes to the right after you leave the entrance." Siesta said as Saito hugged the girl and ran back to the tower to fetch his master. Running up the stairs faster than he did before, he opened the door to his new master's room who was sitting sipping her tea.

"Tiffa, come with me at once." Saito said almost acting like a school girl to the actually school girl before him.

"Ok, what are we going to see?"

"The trees I wanted to see." Saito said literally lifting the elf girl up who responded with a yelp and he dashed down the steps and went in the directions that Siesta told him of but not before grabbing a bag next to the books he had in the room.

After getting the location in half the time Siesta told him it would take, Saito's Japanese senses were tingling with excitement to see his favorite tree and whatever else there might be waiting.

"Saito, you have not been able to calm yourself since you left to find Siesta." Tiffa said worried about how he has been acting. Saito stopped dead in his tracks as She took a few steps before foing the same. She turned and looked at his face and it told a great many stories.

"This is…" Saito ran up and picked up a pedal which was pinkish white. "Just as I thought, it is here after all…" He said walking off in as the female followed suit not saying a word.

"Saito, please, what is wrong with you?" Tiffa said having enough of being left in the dark as she grabbed is left hand to stop him. "Please, if we are to be together, you mustn't leave me guessing" She told the boy in front of him who turned around to face his new girlfriend.

"You're right… I want to show you something from my world. Siesta had a relative in her families past that came from my world and with this pedal." He handed her the pedal which laid there in her palm until it was swept away from the wind. "It means that it exists here too… the pedal of a Cherry Blossom Tree." He told the elf who did not understand but the tone of the familiar reinsured her that he was truly in peace right now.

"Thank you…" She said as they continued to walk side by side with their hands together. Each step felt like an entirety to the boy who knew what was ahead since the pedals began to grow in numbers until…

"There it is…" Saito said as a tear rolled down his face remembering the sight of seeing these trees. Saito took the first steps to the tree to examine it.

"It's beautiful Saito… I never knew a tree like this could exist." Tiffa said as she saw Saito placed the bag down and the first thing he pulled out was a sheet and placed it underneath the tree which towered over the two figures.

"Please, sit down and rest Tiffa." Saito told the girl who did so and sat next to him. He pulled out a tea pot, one that the elf has never seen before, along with two cups which he also did not know anything about but they shared the same design style. The Lifprasir poured the female tea into one cup and another for himself. He also placed one pedal in the liquid and handed it to his partner. "Enjoy." Saito said as she accepted the tea with the pedal in it. She took a sip and was astounded by the taste, Tiffania took the pedal out and the smell of it expressed the scent of the tea.

"I have never had a tea like this before Saito."

"This recipe is from my home land, the same place from where this tree is from." He said placing a pedal in his own drink and began to drink the liquid. Looking deep into the man's eyes, Tiffa saw something that she almost never sees when they are at the academy, peace in mind. "You know." He started as he shifted his head to face her. "If I could, I would spend the rest of my life here, sitting beside you underneath this tree."

"And I would so to, until the very end Saito." She said sipping into her cup once more. "I don't see myself being anywhere but at your side anymore."

"And I don't see myself being anywhere but yours as well Tiffa. " He said, placing down his empty cup as she put her head down on his lap and closed her eyes. Saito looked up at the tree they were underneath and smiled at the sight. This moment changed slightly as an object feel form the tree into his cup. Saito picked up the cup and saw a seed from the tree. He smiled and picked up the seed and placed it into his sweatshirts pocket for safe keeping.

"Mom, Dad, thank you for giving me this chance to be with him/her." They both thought in unison about the respective gender they were with as sleep drifted into the minds of the two lovers underneath the Tree of Sakuya.

Author's Notes - There are one of two things I really want in life. The first is to own a SEGA Genesis. (Which I accomplished two days ago.) and the second is to own my own Zen Garden or at least a Cherry Blossom Tree.
