Hiyee, minna-san! Reia-chan here!? This is my first fanfic in Yami no Matsuei so please forgive me IF there are a lot of mistakes that happen in the story. This is the SIXTEENTH chapter already. Please enjoy it!!! :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Yami no Matsuei. But Kageyami Saino, Yumeki Sakura, etc. (Upcoming characters not related to YnM) belongs to me.
*I dedicate this to Lune Bleue, Klyukaizer, Belial and Ana (forgot her pen name).
*Belial and others: Sorry for the 15th chapter before. I realized that I forgot to change the format and the new changes before putting it in. Don't worry about some of the changes because some of it is just slight, like the sixteen (age of Cerberus) and seventeen. But just in case and if you want, read it again to understand the situations of each character. Gomen ne… -_-;;;

Between Two Hearts
Chapter 16: Party Preparations
~~~ A day before New Year ~~~
It was already afternoon. Everyone was very busy preparing for New Year and Saino's birthday. Hisoka and Tsuzuki were decorating the huge hall of a different building, which will be the venue. Hisoka, who was already tired, wiped off the sweat with his hand. A hand with a handkerchief suddenly was extended over him.
The brunette told him, "You go take a rest for a while. I'll try to finish this."
He nodded and took Tsuzuki's handkerchief. He went and sat at one of the chairs leaning on the wall. When suddenly, Yuma went to him.
"Hisoka, are you going to do something?" she asked.
"Yeah, but I'm taking a break for a while."
"Will you come with me?" she asked another.
"Huh???" he thought. But then, he nodded.
"Thanks!" she said and smiled.
Yuma and Hisoka went in on of the rooms. Yuma closed the door and handed him some clothes.
Hisoka thought, "What's this for???"
"Well, for the dance party tonight. You have to wear something elegant," she said.
She put it on his hands and said, "Just try them. I'll say if it looks good on you." She winked.
He said, "Ah… ok."
She went out of the room and the young boy changed. After a few minutes, Yuma knocked.
"Are you already finished? May I come in now?"
"Ok!" he loudly said.
Yuma went in and was stunned.
"Perfect!!!" she said astonishingly.
Yuma went towards him.
"How was it? Does it fit you?"
The boy nodded.
"You really look great!" Yuma winked.
The young boy's cheek turned pink.
He said, "May I changed now?"
"Sure! Put it above the table when you're done!" Yuma said then went out and closed the door.
Hisoka took it off and changed back to his normal clothes. Then, he placed the fixed clothes on top of the table and went out of the room. Reia: You'll know what it looks like in the next chapter. Of course, it's formal.
~~~~~
It was already evening. The young ebony was walking all alone at the street.
She smiled, "Finally, I'll be going back…"
She suddenly remembered Cerberus, "I wasn't really expecting that he really cared about me so much but…"
"… I really have to do it…"
~~~ Flashback ~~~
"Aishiteru…" Cerberus said and pinned her on the bed.
"CERBERUS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Saino protested.
Cerberus was above her and he held her arm above her with his right arm. Saino tried to move to get out.
"I love you, Saino… more than of that insensitive guy…" he told Saino as he caressed her soft cheeks.
"CERBERUS, I ORDER YOU TO LET GO OF ME!?!" she yelled.
Noticing that he's lips are getting closer to hers, she turned her head to her side and closed her eyes in fear.
"Hisoka-kun… Tasukete…" she thought. "Yamero… Yamero!…"
"YAMERO!?!"
Cerberus suddenly disappeared. Saino's eyes widened in shock and gasped for air.
"G-gomen, Cerberus. I really have to seal you for a while," she said, still gasping for air.
~~~~~
Saino sighed, "At least he showed it but…"
"… It really shocked me. Also, there's only one person that I have felt love… And that is…"
A smile was etched on her face.
She finally arrived at the apartment.
She opened the door and yelled, "Tadai…"
"… ma???" she noticed Wakaba, sitting at the dining table and drinking coffee. "Oneechan, what are you doing here???"
She smiled and went to her.
"Tsuzuki and Hisoka are doing something at Meifu," she told her. "They said that you would come back and I volunteered to wait for you."
"Oh, I see…" she frowned.
"But don't worry!" she tried to cheer her up. "Why don't we go somewhere?"
"Huh???"
"Com'on!" she pulled the young girl out of the apartment.
She locked the door and went somewhere, pulling Saino.
----------
Wakaba and Saino were at the park. They were the only ones there and were sitting near the fountain. The young girl was playing with the crystal-like water by moving her hand slowly in circles. She had forgotten many things due to the enjoyment. Wakaba stared at her and smiled.
Saino softly begun, "Thank you for taking me here. It is really fun. I really didn't realize that I would have you as a friend…"
"Well, it's because you're kind and helpful," she said.
Saino tucked her head halfway, "I don't know if I could say that I have friends at EnmaCho."
"Really? What about Tsuzuki? Isn't he your friend?" Wakaba asked.
"Well, yes. I treat him like an older brother."
"And what about Hisoka?" she smiled.
She suddenly frowned, which made Wakaba also frown.
"I think he's mad at me for being too secretive," she said. She opened up, "I really wanted to say sorry to him but I'm scared to face him. He might not forgive me…"
"Don't worry. I don't think he would."
She continued, staring at the lonely sky, "It's just something that shouldn't be bother much. Everyone has their own ways of hiding something they don't want anyone to know…"
She looked at her directly in her eyes, "… But I think it is best that you at least tell it to someone. You would feel rather comforted and loved…"
A smile showed up on the young girl's face. She was blushing a little.
She softly said, "Arigato, oneechan…"
Wakaba's cellphone started to ring. She quickly answered the phone.
"Hello?… Hai. She's here with me at the park.… Hai."
She turned off her cellphone and gave Saino a frown.
"Let's go. You have to go to Meifu, to EnmaCho…" she said.
"Naze???"
"I don't know?" she said. "Anyway, let's go."
She nodded doubtfully.
~~~~~
They already arrived in front of a huge building. Saino stared at her, trying to synchronize with Wakaba's thoughts. But she can't go through, as if there's a barrier. Saino can't think what could it possibly be. She was really nervous. The two walked toward that huge two-story mansion-looking building. As they went nearer, Saino's heart pounded faster and louder.
Wakaba stopped and told her, "You go first and be very quiet…"
"Ehh???"
Saino shrugged and made a step forward. She gulped.
"What could it be about?… Wakaba suddenly turned serious…"
"Am I going to be kicked out?! Am I not suited as a Shinigami?! Am I that weak?!…"
She turned to her side, "But I have showed Oniichan what I can do!?…"
She just shook her head, "Ah!!! Whatever will be, will be. I don't have any choice…"
She opened the door. Coldness twitched her spine as she slowly opened it.

What surprise could it be?… Wakaba-chan?… *sighs*
