Mana bounced on the balls of her feet, looking around the crowded mall eagerly. Dressed in a simple sundress and doll shoes, one wouldn't assume she was one of the best computer hackers in the world. Of course, to Mana, it is second nature to her to keep all security measures available to her so she was surprised 'she' managed to send her an email, asking her to meet her in this very mall.

Mana smiled to herself. She shouldn't be so surprised since she knew everything she does is wonderful and she is lucky enough to get to see her after five long years.
"Mana?"

Mana turned around, her humming broken off by that matter-of-fact voice.

"Saya!" She jumped and hugged the girl. Saya easily caught her and swung her around.
"Its nice to see you too Mana." Saya smiled softly, letting her down.

"Oh I'm so sorry. I just got so excited I forgot you value your space." Mana blushed furiously. "Sorry."

"Nothing to be sorry for. I understand." Saya flushed as she mumbled the next words. "I feel the same way."

Mana smiled with a wrinkle of confusion. It wasn't like Saya to admit to her feelings easily. She gazed into her eyes and she saw a softness that wasn't there when they first met.
"I've missed you so much. Where have you been? What have you been doing? Ah! Let's go to that coffee shop and talk." She excitedly pulled on Saya's hand as she led them away from the busy crowd.

Saya allowed herself to be shepherded to the said coffee shop even she still has misgivings about coffee and places that serve them.

Just as long as she could be with her Mana.

Her Mana.
