When I woke up again, I found myself in my room. I looked around and noticed that Cat, Mom, Dad, and Xellos were standing around me. I heard whimpering from a corner and looked in that direction. Zelas was nursing a broken arm and puffed up face. I gulped, knowing that Mom was responsible for it.

"How're you feeling, Sofie?" Cat asked.

"I've got a headache, but other than that, I'm fine," I answered.

Mom put her hand on my forehead. In an instant my headache was gone. I looked up at her questioningly. "Don't want you going and destroying humanity when it's pointless," she answered. That seemed very odd coming from her. Cat was even looking at her oddly. Dad seemed unfazed by this comment. Then I remembered that Dad was a mortal. And if I destroyed humanity…

"Uh…how'd we get home?" I asked. "Last thing I remember is being in Chorus…" Everyone, minus Xellos and a puffy eyed Zelas, blinked at me. "What?" I added.

"Nothing…" Mom said.

"Never mind," Cat said.

"Its nothing," Dad said.

"You were Mazoku," Xellos said.

My eyes bugged out and I screamed, "What?!"

Mom, Dad, and Cat glared at Xellos and whacked him with various objects that had magically appeared in their hands. "Why you little!!!" they screamed. Blink. Blink. Blink. Blink. CRASH! BANG! BOOM! BAM! "Ouchie…"

"I suppose he deserves that, but why did you have to hurt him for telling the truth?!"

"Uh…"

"Thought so…"

It seems I had no idea how tired I was at the time, because I had suddenly fainted.

********************************************************************************************

 When I came to, I was still in my room. Blue walls. Blue ceiling. Blue bed. Blue everything. Suddenly I was sick of the color blue! (A/N: how in all the hells is that gonna happen?!?!?! I LOVE blue!!!!) I wanted that color out of my life forever!.

"Sofie? How're you feeling?" I looked up at Michael and blushed, realizing that I was wearing my pajamas.

"I---I'm fine," I whispered. I felt my cheeks grow hot as her sat down on the bed next to me. I sat up.

"Are you sure?" he asked, placing his hand on my forehead. My cheeks went hotter. "You're burning up. Are you sure you're okay?"

"Y-y-yes…"

"Ano, Michael-kun? Sofia-chan?" a sweet voice whispered at the door. I looked over there and saw a young woman with black hair hanging about her hips. She wore half moon spectacles that rested on the tip of her nose. Her dark brown eyes were unsure.

Michael grinned at the young woman. "Kiandra! (A/N: pronounced ki-on-dra) It's been a while!"

"Ano, Michael-kun, what are you doing?" the young woman asked nervously.

"Uh, nothing! Nothing!" He said, a sweatdrop standing out on his forehead. I could see his blush from where I was sitting up.

"Oh, okay then," the young woman said, sounding uncertain. "Mother wishes to see you."

"Mom's here?!" Michael said, jumping up. "I'll talk to you later, okay, Sofie?"

"Uh…okay?" I said, confused. He grinned at me and ran out of the room. The young woman sat on the bed next to me.

"Konichiwa, Sofia-chan," she said. "My name is Kiandra."

"Uh…hello, Kiandra," I said nervously. "Uh…how do you know my name?"

"Your mother hired to me to take care of you while you were sick, Sofia-chan," Kiandra said.

"Um…how do you know Michael?"

"Michael-kun? He is my younger brother, Sofia-chan. I must admit, he's very taken with you."

I blushed. "I-I-I had no idea…"

"You should have, Sofia-chan. He's very open with his feelings for you."

I blushed again. "Ar-are you sure?"

She smiled at me. "Why wouldn't I be?"

I stared at her. Did she mean it? Did he….really like me?

"Sofia?"
