A few months went by and Sera was avoiding Tai and the others although she did worn T.K. and Kari before hand. Matt always was waiting for her when they went to school so she started to leave earlier. She was always the first into her classes, and she switched out of her last block class to join art. Her friends were really worried about, she started to hang out with the art club more and more, soon Gage and Sera were known as a couple and it tore Tai apart when he heard.
Izzy was standing by his locker getting out his homework with Tai standing beside him waiting. Sera soon walked up with Gage, his arm was around her waist. Gage let go of her as she opened her locker to get out her own homework. Tai felt something in his stomach twist as he saw the two together. Hearing it and seeing it were two different things. Izzy looked over at Sera and smiled.
"Have not talked to you in a while. How have you been?" He asked closing his locker and putting the lock back onto it. Sera turned her eyes over to the two and smiled.
"Doing well. How about you?" She asked casually without a second thought. Gage stood silently at her side watching over her. She took out a few books and held them her arms as she closed her own locker.
"We've doing just as well." Izzy stated glancing over at Tai. He was looking at the floor pretending that the waxed floors were just as interesting. Sera looked over at Tai and a frown formed on her face. Gage took her books from her and held them waiting for her to be done so they could go.
"Well I guess I'll see you another time. Bye." Sera stated with her smile returning, then walking away from Izzy and Tai as Izzy said a 'good-bye.'
"Can you believe the never of her! Gosh!" Tai growled softly as he looked after the two. Izzy raised a brow at his friend.
"She can be friends with who ever she wants to. I see nothing wrong with that." Izzy stated as he began to walk away from his locker and out of the school with Tai still angry behind him.
Sera and Gage were going out later with their group of friends. Hibiki, Brair, Chad, and even silent Caldwell were going out for pizza later and since it was the week end they were going to have a 'sleep over.' Even though they are not calling it that, at Chad's house. Everyone's parents said that it was alright.
Gage walked Sera to his silver sports car and opened the door for her. He placed her books in the back as he got into the car's driver's seat. He turned over on the car as Sera buckled her seat belt. Gage pulled out of the school parking lot, taking small glances at Sera.
"Are you okay?" He asked softly in his raspy voice. Sera looked up at him because she was looking at her hands in her lap. She nodded her head slightly.
"Yeah. Just thinking I guess." She stated with a smile at him, which he returned with just a curving of his lips. They reached Sera's apartment building in a matter of minutes. Gage turned off the engine walking Sera up to her apartment. "Thanks for taking me home Gage." Sera said softly standing on her tip toes to lightly kiss him. He kiss back just as light as Sera pulled away. Sera walked through the door of her apartment as Gage started to walk away, neither saw Matt standing there with his mouth gaping open.
Sera walked into her room with a smile on her face. Ev looked up from his laptop with his glasses almost falling off of his nose then pushing them back up. "Some one looks happy." The older boy started with a smile. "Did you and Tai make up?" He asked with a smirk knowing the answer was no. Sera throw a book at the back of his head making a bump form on his head. "Oww!" Everett stated as he turned and glared at the younger girl. Sera only smiled at him as the phone rang. Sera picked up the phone that was sitting by her bed.
"Hello Uriel House hold. Oh Hi Haku. What's up?" She asked sitting down on her bed as Everett still mumbled about his head hurting.
"Sera! Something is wrong. I can't find Haru anywhere! I was talking to him on the phone the he just vanished. I went over to his house and everything. The phone was off the hook like he had just dropped it and disappeared. I don't know what to do!" Haku was crying. Sera held a very worried expression her face as the warning that Talamon told her a few months ago.
"Haku! Is there anyway that you can come here? I have a feeling I know where Haru is, but we need to be together." The red haired girl stated with slight panic. Haku sniffed on the other end.
"I could try to get mom to let me come. Let me ask her." There was a pause on the other end as Haku went away from a moment. Sera's heart was beating fastly at the thought of one of her friends gone. 'How could I have felt this happen?' She thought then Haku came back. "She said that I could go. I got the first available plane ticket. The plane leaves in two hours." Haku said his voice still cracked with tears.
"Alright. I'll let you go so you can get packed. I have some things to do. Bye Haku. And everything will be fine." Sera stated trying to stay calm for her friend as he hung up the phone. As soon as their conversation was over Sera stood up and raced out of the room. She had changed before the phone rang and made her way to Matt's house.
