Chapter 5 – The Disappearance

"I believe it's meant to be, darling" – Eternal Flame

Mrs. Hongou was in the middle of general house cleaning when she stumbled upon an object inside her daughter's room. She was arranging the books in the tall shelf beside Yui's desk when her hand landed on a thick white leather bound book at the very bottom that looks barely noticeable.

Curious, she pulled it out and stared at the front cover—there was no title on it, just an abstract fantasy-related image of a star. Hmmm…she found it somewhat strange because her daughter would usually go for non-fiction literary pieces or anything factual. But being a book lover, it's also possible that Yui did read fiction sometimes.

The older female shook her head, why is she making such a big deal out of it?

Shrugging the thought completely, Mrs. Hongou took the rug she was using and wiped the book off any dusts to make it cleaner then she returned it back to its position at the bottom of the shelf.

"What's taking her long?" She glanced down at her watch, seeing 15 minutes past 6:30 in the evening. Worry started seeping inside slowly, Yui told her earlier that she'll just hang out with Miaka in the park but will be back before 6 since they'll be having dinner outside.

Mrs. Hongou stepped out of the room and closed the door, she went to the living room to check her phone and a deep frown carved on her face seeing no message from the girl. So she browsed for her number and pressed the green button.

"What the…?" After several rings, the line only dropped followed by a continuous beep.

Sasame walks casually, glancing at the colourful displays of the stores and various stalls near the university; people would usually pull up around the renowned university belt of the city around late afternoon till evening, having all kinds of products out in the open that ranges from street foods, accessories, beverages, clothes and more. Many enjoys this kind of set-up especially the teenagers because of its affordable prices.

His lilac eyes sighted a necklace from one of the stalls—its chain was thin and glistened silver under the light and has a circular pendant in the middle a size of a budding flower.

He walked closer to get a better look and instantly, he fell in love with the design—in the middle of the glass-like transparent pendant was an icy image of a white dragon.

"This looks beautiful,"

The sales lady heard his comment, "It is and that is the last one that we have sir, would you like to buy it?"

Of course, he is not going to pass this up. "Yes please, I'll take it" He fished out money and handed it over to the woman.

"For your girlfriend, sir?" The woman asked playfully as she gave him the necklace that is now placed neatly in a velvet white box.

Sasame smiled back, "Yes…" A girl with blonde hair and fearless blue eyes popped in his head.

As he left the street lit with colourful lights, the tall pale haired man accidentally bumped with someone.

"I am so sorry—" Miaka stopped in her tracks, seeing the familiar tall male. "S-Sasame-san!" Her hair was disheveled, eyes were brimming with tears and she looks completely jittery.

Worry crossed his handsome face, "Are you alright, Miaka-san? You look stressed out,"

Before the brunette could reply, a tall male with styled up flaming red hair showed up and took her hand. "My apologies but we need to go now," His red eyes quickly brushed with Sasame's lilac ones.

Miaka was not able to answer anymore as her company dragged her away to the opposite direction. When they are gone, a knowing smug expression carved on Sasame's handsome face.

"Of course they are looking for her, but it's too late for that now" He chuckled lightly.

Angel stared at the sleeping figure in the Queen-sized bed, a serene look on his face whilst observing her. He can't believe it, after many years of waiting she is finally here with them and that is enough to make him feel an extreme level of joy inside. The room she was placed is huge lit in snow-white walls lined with silver, the windows were tall and covered in translucent pale blue curtains. There were vases in the corner filled with anemones, white and blue roses. The room was designed based on the girl's taste and style, plus he made sure it will look regal, glamorous and comforting so literally everything inside even the bathroom are ideal-looking.

And those years that it remained empty, Angel ensured its cleanliness and beauty.

Moving closer, he reached out and caressed the side of her face with the back of his hand. "Yui…" Smiles, "You are here..."

"Do not monopolize her, Angel" Yue spoke in a calm and smooth voice as he entered the room.

Angel pulled back and walked meters away from the bed, "I am not, I just can't contain my happiness, brother" His amber eyes reflected delight, "I thought this time will never come, we waited for so long…" He ran a hand through his pale hair.

Yue inhaled deeply, "No matter how huge is the ripple, and this is what Fate has in store for her so there's no getting away from it. Not even those so-called deities from another world can get in our way"

"They are still in the Human World, yes?" Angel continue to stare at the blonde girl's face.

Yue nodded, "Yes and I am fairly certain they will know about her disappearance soon"

He and his brothers knew every single detail of what happened to Yui in the past—the main reason why their plan to take her was put into a halt. It was all because of that damn book. Even if he is not there, Angel could picture each episode of madness, lies and torment that she went through. What angered him the most is that she was hated and placed in a very bad light. He hates that book. It tainted their chosen one, put scars on her inside out and gave her a negative mindset that she will always come second. That she needs to do something as a means of redemption.

"I will never forgive them…" Angel muttered, hands clenching into fist.
