When Yukio and the others got back to the dorm, they gave Alexander the book. "A woman gave this to us. She said that she was a friend of yours." Yukio said. "She said her name was Akane." Shiemi added. "Akane-San gave this to you?" Alexander asked. At that moment, Kyou's eyes shot open and she sat up, panting hard. Her hand was on her chest, and she looked like she was in pain. "Kyou! Are you okay?" Rin asked. Tears began falling from Kyou's eyes. "I remember. I remember everything. Why is that?" Kyou was trembling. "It's because of the promise." Alexander said. "The promise. I remember. I promised I would come home. But Alex, doesn't that mean it's my time soon?" Kyou asked. "I don't know. Usually you get your memories back seconds before you die. You know that, Sakura."
"My name isn't Sakura. It's Kyou. No...I don't even know my name anymore!" Kyou got out of bed and ran out of the room. "Kyou!" Rin called after her, but Alexander ran after her first before Rin could. "Just let them be. Alexander knows more about her than we do." Yukio said, putting his hand on Rin's shoulder. "I know that. But It just pisses me off for some reason." Rin said, a sulky expression appearing on his face. "You're getting jealous? Now?" Shura asked surprised. "No. I'm not jealous. I just don't like that guy." Rin said, despite his face becoming red by the second. "Geez. You're so slow." Shura sighed. "Shut up."
Kyou lay on her bed, crying as Alexander walked into the room. "You..." She said, sitting up. "You...? Why aren't you calling me by my name?" Alexander asked. "You have more than one name. I don't know what to call you. Alex? Ace? Tell me, what is it that I should call you?"
"Call me anything you want. I don't care. Call me Alex like you usually do, and when we get back, you can go back to calling me Ace."
Kyou started crying again, and she tried not to buy the tears just wouldn't stop. "I want to go back. I want to go back to my family, to Fairy Tail...But I don't want to leave here either!" Alexander hugged Kyou and she cried in his arms. "Alex, I don't know what to do!"
"It's okay. It's gonna be okay." Alexander comforted her. "Sakura. What is it that you want to do?" A voice suddenly said. "Akane-San?" Alexander asked as she appeared in Kyou's room. "Akane...Akane-San?" Kyou looked at Akane with wide, teary eyes. "Sakura, may I talk to you?" Kyou nodded. "Alone." Akane added. "Hurry up, Kyou. I'll be waiting for you." Alexander said as he left the room. "Sakura-no, Kyou. I wish there was something I could do about your problem. I wish I could help you. Your time is coming, and I don't want you to leave your love behind. But I don't want you to lose your family either." Akane said sadly. "I know. But my promise saved me didn't it? It saved me from all those worlds of loneliness. Fiore the place I belong. I know that. But..."
"Kyou, it's your birthday in three days, isn't it?" Kyou nodded. "Then come see me in three days. I have something for you." Akane smiled softly at Kyou. "Okay." Kyou nodded. Akane got up and began to disappear as usual. "Akane-San?"
"What is it?"
"How...is it doing? The Sakura tree?" Akane smiled. "It's doing fine dear."
In moments, Akane had disappeared. Kyou wiped up her tears and left her room to go find Rin. She went to his room and knocked on the door. "Rin, I-" Alexander suddenly came up behind her. "We gotta go for dinner. Come on." Alexander grabbed Kyou's wrist and began dragging her to the dining room. "Alex. What are you doing?" Kyou pulled her hand away. "Kyou. He's in the dining room." Alexander said. "No he's not. I can smell him. Why are you making me avoid him?" Kyou was already a little angry at Alexander. "I'm not-"
"Yes you are. Don't." Kyou slapped Alexander's hand away from her and gave him a glare before walking back up to Rin's door, and knocking again. Alexander walked away, his fists tightening. "Why can't you look at me for once? I hate that stupid blue demon." He muttered, walking towards the kitchen. "
Rin, I'm coming in." Kyou opened the door and saw Rin on his bed. "What are you doing? You got to go for dinner." Kyou said, sitting on Rin's bed beside him. "I'm not hungry." Rin said. "You look pissed off for some reason. Why?" Kyou raised an eyebrow. "It's nothing." Rin muttered. Kyou looked at Rin's face, and could tell he was lying. Before Rin knew it, Kyou climbed on top of Rin and looked him in the eyes. "What is it? Did I do something?" Kyou's voice turned serious. Rin's face went a bright scarlet. "N-No!" Rin said, avoiding eye contact with Kyou. Kyou looked at him for a moment before sighing and getting off of him. She walked to the door. "If I did anything, I'm sorry."
"Huh?"
Kyou looked back at him. "If I did anything, I'm sorry. And Rin...If there's anything bothering you, you can tell me. I don't like seeing that look on your face." Kyou immediately walked out of the door. Her face was bright red, and she was panting. 'That was so embarrassing!' She thought, running to the dining room. Rin sat on his bed, his face red. He sighed and groaned. "It's not you. It's that stupid cat boy." He muttered.
Kyou sat down at the table with Yukio and Alexander. "The others aren't staying?" Kyou asked. "They went home." Yukio said. Ukobach put food on the table. "I'm sorry I couldn't help you today, Ukobach-San." Kyou said apologetically. Ukobach told her it was okay, and he went back to the kitchen. Kyou glanced over at Alexander, who refused to make eye contact. Kyou was still a little mad, and pretended to ignore him. Kyou got up and thanked Ukobach, before going to her room. Kyou noticed that her blue scarf was underneath her pillow, and put it around her neck. "It's so warm, as always." Kyou smiled and walked over to her window, looking at the stars when she heard a crash. Looking down, she saw that a wall had collapsed outside, and a familiar demon was waiting outside. The demon looked up at her and smirked. "Kyou-chan! Come out and play!" He said, laughing manically. "You...Tomoe?!" Kyou rushed downstairs. "Alex! We need to go!" Kyou said, running to the door. "Why-"
"Tomoe!"
"Tomoe...?!"
Kyou and Alexander ran outside, where a boy sat waiting for them. His aura was dark and a smile appeared on his face when he looked up at them. The boy was around a year or two younger than Kyou, and he had black hair and dark eyes, and he looked almost emotionless. "Nii-san, Kyou-chan, where have you been? You never finished our game." Tomoe said, holding his hand out. A black axe appeared in his hand, as if the shadows surrounding him created it. "Tomoe. I'm not going to fight you." Alexander said. "Why not? We still need to finish our game." Tomoe said in a now childish voice. "Tomoe, They did this to you didn't they? They broke your seal again." Kyou spoke softer now, as if speaking to a small child. Tomoe stood up and swung the axe at Kyou,who jumped back and away from it. Alexander ran over to her and he morphed into a scythe. Kyou picked him up as his blade turned white. "You're going light mode?" Kyou asked. "Light overcomes darkness. Look Kyou, I'm sorry. For being a dick earlier." Alexander said. "It's fine Alex, I forgive you. But the next time you pull a stunt like that I will really fall out with you." Kyou replied. Tomoe didn't like not being the centre of attention, and attempted to hit Kyou again with his shadow axe. Thanks to Kyou and Alex's sensitive hearing though, they dodged it again. Tomoe repeated the action, but this time Kyou and Alexander took him on. The white scythe collided with the black axe, and Tomoe grunted. Kyou and Alexander were stronger than young Tomoe, but he wasn't going to give up. Tomoe grabbed Kyou's wrist and Kyou hissed as his hand began burning her skin. She jumped back and rubbed her wrist. "Are you okay, Kyou?" Alexander asked. "I'm fine." Kyou let out a giggle. "And why exactly are you laughing when my little brother is attempting to kill us?" Alex asked. "I was just thinking, that if Mira was here, she would end up fighting him just to tell him that he was a bad boy." Kyou giggled again. "Well Mirajane is that type of person. Elfman told me that she was a demon back when they were younger."
"You have a relationship with them too."
"Huh?"
"You had a bond with everyone as well as me. I never noticed that. I'm sorry for not considering your feelings. Everyone's waiting for you too."
Kyou looked at her stinging wrist. "This is nothing. I'm okay."
"Stop it!" Tomoe shouted angrily. "Stop what?" Kyou asked. "I'm the centre of attention! Stop ignoring me!" Tomoe ran towards Kyou and Alexander with the axe, a battle cry escaping his mouth. Instead of jumping back, Kyou dodged the axe and put her hand on Tomoe's head. Alexander turned back and shook his head. "You really need to grow up, Tomoe." He said. Tomoe fainted on the ground as Rin and Yukio ran towards them. "Kyou!" Rin said, looking at her with worried eyes. "I'm fine." Kyou blushed a little. "Alex-San, what about you?" Yukio asked. "I'm good." Tomoe laid on the floor unconscious with a red seal on his forehead, covered by his black hair. "Who's the kid?" Rin asked. "This is Tomoe. He's Alex's little brother."
"You have a brother too?"Rin asked Alexander. "Yeah. But I'm the big brother, not the little one." Alexander said, smirking. "Alex...Rin's the big brother." Kyou said, holding in a laugh. "Seriously?!" Alexander looked shocked. "I actually thought that Yukio was the oldest." Alexander said. Rin was insulted and pissed off. "I would have too honestly. They were so different when they were kids, but now Yukio's like the older twin." Kyou replied, a giggle escaping her mouth. "Twin?!" Alexander looked beyond surprised, and Kyou found it really funny. "I can hear you ya know!" He shouted, growling. "Sorry, sorry." Kyou said. Alexander picked up Tomoe and everyone went inside. "Rin,you're so slow!" Kyou said, grabbing his hand. Kyou smiled at Rin, and Rin blushed as she pulled him along.
Meanwhile, someone was watching then from the shadows. "Satan's boys. Death's daughter. Tomoe really was useful." A malicious smirk appeared on his face. "This is going to be interesting."
