Alien Watching

Summary: Himegami, Nagi and alien watching.

A couple of days after the hair fiasco wherein Himegami kept the hairstyle Nagi gave him. It made the little blonde girl overjoyed but when asked why he kept it, his weird answer made Nagi's smile turn into a confused frown.

"The probability of my encounter with the beings from outside our atmospheric realm will likely increase due to my change of hairstyle and it will also catch their attention easily because the static-kinetic ratio of the flow of currents in my body is amplified by the aero-dynamics of such hairstyle. And lastly, it fits the shape of my face well, don't you think?" Himegami finished his explanation, a finger pointing to his sideburns in French braids and an elusive proud gleam in his eyes. Nagi barely understood what her butler said, she could only nod her head dumbfounded.

"Where did you read all of those junk, Himegami?" She asked rudely because of her utter confusion to the red-hair's thought process which irritated her greatly. The boy shrugged noncommittally and replied without embarrassment or hesitation. "Internet"

"Oh…and where are you taking me?" Nagi asked finally. Upon waking up that day snuggling her little pet tiger, Tama, she found her butler tidying and organizing her things in her room. Without losing a beat, Himegami told her that her bath was ready and breakfast was served in the dining room where Maria was.

Afterwards, he took her hand and dragged her along with him to God knows where they're going…''Well?" "The bargain…you're taking me to the place where the aliens are." His voice was a monotone but being with Himegami for a long time, Nagi could pick up the underlying excitement in it.

"But should this be the other way around? Me leading you instead of you leading me?" Himegami just shrugged his shoulder nonchalantly, still dragging the heiress around.

Nagi panicked inwardly…uh-oh…she willed her mind to think up of a plan to appease her butler and coming out of the whole fiasco unscathed and a tiny part of her, overwhelmed most of the time by her stubborn side, did not want to disappoint.

Nagi frantically looked left and right. They were now passing the huge lake/pond in the Sanzenin estate and the little blonde heiress was suddenly struck by an idea. "We're here, Himegami!" She announced loudly, hoping to control the tense timbre of her voice.

"Here?" The red haired combat butler scanned the area, as if expecting the extra-terrestrials to jump out of the bushes or waters and shout, Surprise.

"Yep…but, it's still day time so they're not here yet…" Nagi paused and then continued haughtily. "They only come out at spring nights so let's go back to the mansion, Himegami."

Himegami stared at the Nagi's eyes unblinking and said deadpan. "Let's stay here until the aliens come, Nagi. I'll bring your lunch and dinner here." He sat on the bench beside the lake/pond, also yielding the blonde heiress to do the same.

Nagi was ready to throw one of her infamous temper tantrums but the unnerving stare from her butler kept her mouth shut. Determined, resolute, fierce, fiery and a bit of bottled excitement…it was enough to scare the little Sanzenin to silence.

For the rest of the day, the two stayed there waiting for dusk to fall but true to his duty as a butler and true to her duty as the master, Nagi demanded from the trivial to the most heinous tasks for Himegami to do.

Just after the sun set and the moon appeared on its place, Nagi sat comfortably on her cushioned chair and focused on defeating the 5th boss of her game, the controller on her hands vibrating due to the continuous magic spells she unleashed on the villain. Himegami remained quiet and static; his eyes staring as if unseeing on the great expanse of the lake/pond.

Sighing inwardly, Nagi took the remote control and turned the giant LCD off, her attention to her red haired butler. Just as she was about to ask her butler something, she saw a tiny bit of green light. Nagi grinned impish and mentally held her hands together in a praying pose. Here goes nothing…

"Hey Himegami! Did you see that?" She exclaimed with false alarm tone.

"Where?" Even though, everything about him was in controlled nonchalance, Nagi noted the slight change in his pitch.

"There." Nagi giggled, a bit evilly, and pointed on the strange glows, as if flowing upwards towards the sky. It was truly a beautiful sight and Nagi almost forgot the next part of her plan but the distant sound of crickets brought her back to her senses. "They're electric signals from the aliens sleeping beneath the lake of the Sanzenin estate, grandfather told me."

Yes! Nagi had executed her plan perfectly. Technically, she promised to take her butler to where the aliens are, not to really see said aliens, right? So, if she said that they, the aliens, are underwater, she still did the part of her bargain and little Nagi doubted her butler will dive just to see them. It looked deep.

She swallowed nervously and chanced a glance at Himegami, just to see her red-haired butler smiling. Well, a slight upward tilt of his lips and the smile even reach his eyes. Nagi grinned.

Thank the heavens, she's unharmed!

Or Not…

The little blonde heiress clutched her head painfully, pouting and glaring daggers at Himegami.

"Even I know what fire flies are Nagi."

Author's note: I think my writing style is getting rusty…again. Anyways, hope you enjoyed it! Just a bit of bonding for Hime and Nagi. Awww…fire flies *hotaru!* watching! Too bad for Hime, it wasn't the aliens. Hm, gives me a crack idea. *lol* Hime hugging Yoda! Arg… I think I broke my spleen!
