"I swear, you're worse than a little kid." Setsuna was furious, she hated how her little cousin keep disappearing on her, and she hated to use her tracking spells to find her every single time she does that. "You're not a little child anymore, Serena, you should take SOME responsibility." She continued in frustration. "Bu.but Puu, I only went to visit Ash wood." Said the blond girl in her defense, but stopped when she saw the murderous look in the older woman's eyes. " I don't CARE, you should tell me where you go, Serena, you know how easily you get lost. You know how easily you get tricked, or do I have to remind you what happened THAT time." She scolded. " And the WORST thing is that you don't even have any special powers to defend yourself, you don't even know any NORMAL powers to defend yourself with, and you keep getting all the spells wrong." She finished throwing her arms in the air in frustration.

Outside of the shut door, six pairs of ears listened to the angry words, making sure that the furious olive haired woman didn't sense their presence.

"Ugh, Setsuna is giving her the you're-too-vulnerable speech." Said Rei in boredom. "She should change her speeches once in a while." She continued, trying to suppress a yawn.

"She's way too protective of Serena, if you ask me." Said a little white cat that was carried by Mina.

"She has to be Artemis, Serena can not take care of herself." Stated a black cat, who sat comfortably on Amy's shoulder.

"I think Artemis is right, she IS way protective of Serena, she should give her a chance to learn on her own." Said Amy, shrugging her shoulders, making Luna fall on the ground so ungracefully. Luna gave Amy an angry look, but the latter was so focused on what's happening behind the door to notice.

"I don't see what's the big deal, she only went to Ash wood, it's not like she goes anywhere else without one of us tagging along." Said Lita, leaning against the wall and resting her head on her arms.

"Yeah well, if you ask me, I think she SHOULD go to other places alone, I mean she doesn't have anything that resembles a social life outside of Ash wood and this house." Mina obviously didn't like her little sister's social life, or the lack of it.

"Yeah, go and tell Setsuna that." Said Rei sarcastically.

At that exact moment, the door sprung open and Setsuna stood right in front of them.

"Tell me what?" She asked in a warning tone, eyeing the now horrified Rei.

"Ummm.errr that the pizza arrived?? Heehee." She answered, rubbing the back of her head like whenever she got caught doing something wrong. " Errr, speaking of Pizza, I think I'm gonna go have some, I'm really hungry." She said and sprung from her place, running down the corridor.

Setsuna looked at her running figure before turning to the others, the warning look still in her eyes. "Umm, Take me with you Rei, I'm hungry too." Said Mina, before running after her fleeing cousin.

"A slice of pizza does sound tempting." That was from the tomato red Ami.

"You hate pizza." Said Setsuna.

"Errr, well, ummm just an urge I guess." She answered and ran after the two girls before Setsuna could argue some more.

As for the two cats, they didn't bother to give an excuse, they just ran with their lives. No one can stand up to Setsuna when she's in THAT mood.

Setsuna looked around and saw Lita still leaning on the wall. "What about you Lita, don't YOU have anything to do?" She asked in a calm voice ,way too calm if you ask me.

"Well, heehee, actually.." began Lita, stepping forward. " I was wondering if.umm.well, how is Serena?" she asked sheepishly.

"Why do you ask?" Setsuna answered her question with another question, putting her hands on her hips.

"Well, ummm. I thought *cough cough* well..I was just wondering if she was crying or not." She said, scratching behind her ear nervously.

"crying??? You're not still after those tears are you?? LITA.I thought I told you to get rid of that potion, didn't I ?" She said in pure anger, and little sparks started to form in her deep eyes.

"Well, I thought it was a shame to waste it, it's almost finished and all." She gulped in nervousness. Any one can tell that Lita was nervous, too nervous. She had this tendency to begin every sentence with 'Well' when she does get that nervous.

"GET RID OF IT." Ordered Setsuna in a roaring voice, that could easily be heard all over the three story mansion.

"Well.umm ye.yes Ma'am." Answered Lita before running away with her life, she sure was happy she wasn't in Serena's shoes this very moment.

Setsuna just sighed before returning to the room. She closed the door calmly behind her before rubbing her temples in frustration. "Those young girls will be the end of me, I swear" she grumbled to herself before looking around, her eyes searching for her youngest cousin. Her eyes landed on Serena, who was sitting on a sofa glancing at the blue sky out of the window. She looked like a trapped angel, Setsuna thought. She cared for Serena dearly and that was no secret, she cared for her as though she was her own daughter, and in a way, Serena was like her daughter. After all, she did raise the little blond girl ever since she was born. She still remember that day like it was yesterday, she was present when Serena was born, and she was the first face the little angel saw when she opened her eyes to the world. At that very moment, Setsuna knew that she'd give her life for the sweet little girl. And she still remembers how Serena's mother died the very same day, without having a chance to name her own child, so she named her. she named her after her late mother, Serenity.

"Serena." began the dark-green haired woman, her eyes softened at the remembrance of Serena's birth.

Serena turned around, eyes bluer than the clear sky outside, and hair shiner than the sun rays that fell on her face.

'God, she's a mirror image of her mother' thought Setsuna, looking at her face. Serena was looking more beautiful everyday, and she's looking like her mother every second. Setsuna loved Serena's mother dearly, after all, she was the one who took her under her wing and raised her like her own child. She still remembers how she used to call her 'Suu' and how she depended on her in every thing. The remembrance sent a tingling sensation dawn her spine, so many wonderful memories.

"Yes, Puu??" Asked Serena calmly.

"You don't think I'm too hard on you, do you?" Asked Setsuna, putting her hand on the girl's shoulder.

"No Puu." Serena shook her head calmly. "I deserve it, I know I mess up sometimes, well. most of the times, and I'm sorry. I just.I just don't think sometimes, and that's really bad, I know, but I can't help it." She finished, blowing air out of her lungs in frustration.

Setsuna smiled in understanding, she knew how Serena felt. If only she knew how much she resembled her mother.

"Don't worry, you'll be okay, I'll make sure of it." She assured, hugging the younger girl gently. "Now tell me, how is Ash wood?" She asked.

"Oh wonderful. Hotaru is really getting good with her dolls, her magic is getting scary, I don't know why she likes those dead-spells, too scary. Micharu is still obsessed with water spells, you can see pounds there everywhere." Said Serena in much enthusiasm.

"Ah, Hotaru should be careful with those dolls, doll spells are often turned into curses." She said. "What about Haruka?" She asked about the third resident of Ash Wood.

"You wouldn't believe what happened to her. She was messing with some ancient wind spells when she got one wrong. Now whoever comes near her gets blown away by the air that surrounded her. Hotaru and I had so much fun playing with that, we keep running to Haruka and the air picks us up, twirls us around and throws us away and we land in one of Micharu's pounds, it was like going to the amusement park." Said Serena, giggling at the memory.

Setsuna was giggling too, it always seemed like a priceless moment when Haruka gets a spell wrong, she should remember to go to her and tease her about getting a wind spell wrong.

"Haruka must be furious." Stated Setsuna, still giggling.

"Yeah." Nodded Serena in agreement. " She hated playing the part of a rollercoaster, but she couldn't do anything about it, because she couldn't get near us in the first place." Finished Serena, still giggling.

"I haven't seen those three in a while, maybe I should go visit sometime soon." Said Setsuna getting up. "Now let's go get some pizza in our stomachs, shall we? " she suggested, offering her hand to Serena.

"Yes Ma'am." Giggles Serena, taking Setsuna's Hand in her own.

"Let's just hope those hyenas didn't finish it off." Said Setsuna before they both burst out in laughter.

----------------------------------------------

"Serennaaaaaaaa, school starts next week and I still can't find my orange tank-top." Whined Mina, throwing herself on the bed beside her sister.

"Not now Mina, I'm tired, I wanna get some sleep." mumbled Serena turning her head away from her sister.

"But Serennaaaaaaaaaaaaaa." Serena knew that her sister wouldn't leave her alone until she gets what she wanted.

"I still don't understand why you go to school anyway. I go because I have to, but you finished school a VERY long time ago and yet, you still go." Said Serena, turning around and looking at her older sister.

"C'mon Serena, don't be so ignorant, there's one reason why girls go to school." Said Mina, shaking her head at her sister's innocence.

"Which is.?" Asked the younger blonde.

"To meet guys, silly. Why else? To go to the ever so magical prom every year. To enjoy the company of the opposite sex. To smell the intoxicating aroma of young love in the air. To have the pleasure of playing matchmaker. I'm a love witch, Rena, I have to be where love is present." Finished Mina, resting her head on the pillow beside her sister's head and looking at the ceiling.

"Yeah well, just don't forget you're engaged." Said Serena, turning around and looking at the ceiling too.

"Ugh, don't remind me. Me?? Mina, the love witch, is engaged to someone she never laid eyes on, that is just SO unfair. I, of all people, should marry for love." She grumbled, still staring at the ceiling.

"Puu told me he's a very respected and powerful witch doctor, she said he is very handsome too."

"Puh-lease, he's probably one of those guys who wears feather skirts and puts a funny mask on his face, ugh, I don't ever wanna meet him." Stated Mina

"You watch too much TV, Sis." Chuckled Serena. " Besides, if you're gonna marry him, of course you're gonna meet him. He'll arrive next week, right?" she asked.

"Yeah." Sighed the older blonde

"everything is gonna be okay, sis, you'll see, everything is going to be okay. I'll be there with you and if you don't like him, we'll figure a way out of it, don't worry." Assured Serena.

Mina leveled her self on her elbow and looked at her sister lovingly.

"Thank you Rena, that means a lot for me." She said softly and kissed her sister's forehead gently. " Now go to sleep baby sister." She whispered, and placed her index finger on her sister's forehead, sending her to the dream world with a simple sleeping spell.
