Enjoy!

"Is he coming?" Serenity closed her phone and nodded. She let out a sigh as she recalled Hotaru's words.

"Don't be sad," Yami said to her in a low voice. She glanced at him.

"Did I not tell thee that I-"

"I believe they exist deep inside. Your eyes betray you. I can see the sadness hanging over them," Yami said as he stared directly into the silver and blue orbs. Serenity held his gaze before being brought back to veracity by Solomon's voice.

"Are you leaving, Serenity?" The girl nodded and started to put on her shoes. She sensed another person looking at her. When she stood up, she came face to face with a guest who she guessed was the relative of Rebecca. He smiled at her.

"How art thou, milady?" he asked as he took a bow. Serenity gave a curtsy.

"I am fine. My name is Serenity. What is thy name, monsieur?"

"I am Arthur Hawkins. I believe thou hast met my granddaughter?"

"Yes, I have. She is a pleasure to know. It appears my chauffeur is here. With all due respect, I must part," Serenity said as she headed to the door.

"I'm taking her," Yami said to Solomon as he held the door opened to Serenity. Arthur looked to Solomon as the door closed.

"You were right, Solomon. But, I think we have a case of a sad angel on our hands." Solomon chuckled.

"That won't be a problem soon."

"Thou did not have to come," Serenity said as she walked to the pending limo. Yami fell in step beside her.

"We do this for Hotaru every time she comes over, so it is common for us now. Does it bother you?"

"It is unexpected." She arrived at the door, turned, and faced him.

"Please remind Hotaru no later than nine. Pack thy bags, for we shall come here, get them, and then leave for my home. I am sure Father will not say anything against thee coming. Is something wrong?"

"No, nothing's wrong. I shall make sure she leaves before nine. Don't worry about her. Take care, all right?" Serenity got in the car and gave him one last glance.

"Since when did thou care for my health?" Yami smirked.

"Since you became my friend." He shut the door, not allowing her to answer. The car drove away. He could barely make out Serenity's form looking back at him through the window.

"Did they agree to this?" Maximilian asked his daughter. Serenity nodded as she blew away the steam rising from her hot cocoa.

"Hotaru is really getting along with them, so I thought thou would not mind," Serenity answered. Maximilian looked to his daughter.

"It appears to me that they are a good influence on both of you."

"Oh? And why this thought?"

"For one, thou art far more open and not as icy."

"That is comforting to know. I shall be in my room if thou need me." Serenity made her way out of the room and up the stairs. She closed the door behind her and walked to her desk.

"Let's find out more about our foe, shall we?" she muttered to no one in particular. She began to search through a thick book for a sage with amazing powers crucial to bring forth unique Youkai. She continued doing said search until a young girl found her asleep.
