Weeks after the previous event, Mion kept pestering Leo with question about her past. Leo was baffled on why the blonde acts like that. Mion was never one to dwell in matters like these as Leo thought it was trivial but apparently, Mion didn't share the red head's perspective of things. Of course, Leo couldn't avoid the questions since he was coaching the blonde almost every day with the exception of Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

It was a Thursday then and Leo sank on his seat while watching Aira and Rizumu practice. Aira and Rizumu looked at each other as if having a silent conversation. In all honesty, both were curious on why Leo looked quite irritated whenever he was with Mion. Aira was the first to approach Leo.

"Hey, brother, what's the problem between you and Mion?" Aira asked as she sat down beside the red head.

"Problem?" Leo chuckled once. "The problem is she won't stop asking questions."

"And that's a problem how?" Rizumu asked as she leaned on the wall parallel to where the chair Leo was sitting on.

"Because, she won't concentrate on practicing." Leo replied.

"The questions are about what actually?" Aira asked.

"Her past that she forgot." Leo replied with a smile. "Ironic on why I, the one who she doesn't come to for personal help, knows it."

"How do you know about it?" Rizumu looked at him. "Are you a… no way… a stalker!?" She looked at him with a slightly disgusted look but it was a joke look.

"No, of course I'm not." Leo replied in the same joking manner Rizumu used on him. "I was part of it. The only parts she forgot were about me and… my friend."

"Care to tell us what you told her?" Aira asked.

"Sure, it won't hurt right?" Leo replied. He retold the whole story.

"We're going to Buenos Aires!?" Rizumu asked excitedly.

"No, no, not yet." Leo replied quickly. "After her birthday…"

"Why? Why not now? It will keep her from asking too many questions." Aira asked.

She had a point but he had a better reason… for him though. "Keep this a secret from her." Everyone huddled up near Leo. "Mion's birthday is on the 3rd of March, right? Well, Lazarus's birthday is on the 5th of March. See, it's perfect."

"Good point." Rizumu said. "I guess it could wait."

"Yeah it can wait for 4 months, it's still September." Leo replied with a smile.

"Yeah, so while we wait…" Rizumu stretched her arms. "Let's do Prism Shows!" She put her arms down and pointed at the rink.

"Right!" Aira replied and followed Rizumu as the latter ran to the rink.

Leo chuckled and followed them but did not enter the rink. He leaned on the railing and watched the two girls practice their hearts out.

The next day, Mion kept quiet. For once, Leo was glad she was quiet but why?

"So why so quiet?" He asked bluntly as he walked to the blonde who was standing opposite from him.

"Is it that unusual?" Mion asked with a glare.

"Whoa, watch the glare." Leo said as he raised his arms as if he was surrendering. "Yes it's unusual. In the past days, you kept asking questions that I longed the day you wouldn't. So, why stop now?"

If Mion had a hundred yen for every time she would almost scare Leo to death and fail at the end, she'd actually have at least a thousand. "Sorry, just thinking about some stuff."

Leo leaned back to his original position. "Then let me tell you the next scene but this will be the last…

Leo, Lazarus and the guardian arrived at the Takamine household. The former two's jaws dropped in amazement. "This is your house?"

"Yep!" Mion replied. Her reply was so cheerful and honest that it was clear to the three visitors that this was normal for her.

"Just how rich are you?" Leo asked.

"Impressive." The guardian said. It was a truly impressive house. The tiles were made of marble and small statues adorned every corner. Chandeliers hanged above their heads. By the size of it, there were at least 6 rooms on the ground floor alone. One of them must be a huge kitchen and then the dining room. It was truly an impressive mansion. Before the three entered, a garden was there and a walkway to the door. The mansion was the only thing that stood in the place the Takamine's owned but their land stretched farther than the mansion.

"Just how many people live in this place?" Leo asked as he ran up the stairs.

Mion looked away as if something hit her. James replied instead. "There's the young mistress Mion and then her parents."

"Then why is it so huge?" Lazarus asked.

"This place has dated back to generations before the young mistress. It was supposedly inhabited by the whole Takamine family but now… they have dispersed all over the world." James replied.

"Where are her parents?" Leo asked.

"They're at work." Mion replied while looking down. "They always are."

Lazarus and Leo looked at each other. "Welcome to the club then." Lazarus said.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Mion asked.

"These kids are being shipped to America to study." The guardian explained. "Lazarus doesn't have any parents and Leo has a family but decided to study abroad. For now, Leo doesn't have parents until the end of his high school days."

"So basically we're just like you." Lazarus smiled and patted Leo's head. Note that Leo is younger than Lazarus.

Mion smiled and nodded. "I guess we are."

"That's it." Leo finalized.

"Is there something else you're not telling me?" Mion asked.

Leo smiled. "Of course there is. I'm the kind of guy who likes leaving the good parts out when I have the chance." Leo said with a thumbs up.

Mion rolled her eyes and smiled. "Right. Can we go to the rink now?"

"We haven't even started on the second page of your training program." Leo pointed out. "So, no."

"Then let's start!" Mion exclaimed.

"The second part is really easy… It's a simple 180 degree spin." Leo said as he spun his finger forming a circle in the air.

"That's easy enough." Mion said as she rubbed her chin. "But I read the training program that you gave me and it's much more complicated than that."

"As expected from you, a 180 spin and once you hit that mark you must dance the steps shown on the paper you read. It's a little hard if the spin doesn't end on the 180 mark, you'll lose your balance and fall down." Leo said.

"So today is about balance and precision." Mion said as she took her place.

"Yup." Leo replied. They continued to practice…
