A/N: I'm so sorry that the last chapter was so short. I didn't think that it would be that short. Gomen, Gomen. Well, I have the writing jitters, so I have already written the second chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't want to get sued, so here we go. I don't own Chrisnele, Astale, or any last names.

Moving along…


Chrisnele was in Japan. She was used to coming to the material world, so she had no problems fitting in. She wandered around Harajuku, marveling at the young girls in their school uniforms. Chrisnele herself had just graduated from the Magic Academy, which meant she was about eighteen years of age. Chrisnele loved to walk around with no destination. It brought her to numerous amazing places. Today, her aimless wandering brought her to a high school.

The wide building towered over her. It had red bricks and many windows. There was a bunch of students walking around the campus. Chrisnele had never seen any thing like this, so she decided to take a look. She went into classrooms where teachers were lecturing students. Chrisnele usually ducked quickly out of these classrooms.

"Hey, you," someone said, grabbing Chrisnele's arm as she was wandering the halls. Chrisnele quickly turned to look at the person. It was a man. He towered over Chrisnele. He had shaggy brown hair. He wore a pair of glasses. Chrisnele had a vein pop. She retracted her arm quickly, noting that the man had bony hands and a weak grip.

"Do you even-" she started, "no, never mind." Chrisnele stepped aside and began to run. She came to the end of the hallway, for it happened to be a dead end. Chrisnele looked for an alternative. She decided to use magic though she would be sent to the eternal prison if she were caught. Chrisnele checked and the man was right in view. She cursed at herself for not running faster.

"Excuse me, but what are you doing here?" the man asked as he approached Chrisnele. She refused to speak. The man took off his glasses. He had bright green eyes.

"I'm simply looking around. Who are you?" Chrisnele demanded. The man came closer to Chrisnele. She was shaking a little, since she didn't know what this man was going to do. He flashed Chrisnele a smile.

"Usually you give your own name out before asking for another's," the man said. Chrisnele noticed that when he wasn't being stern he had a silky voice and had some humour within him. Chrisnele's face scrunched up and rebellion. She was acting like a child, only because she wasn't used to being talked to while in the material world. Chrisnele shielded herself by raising her fists.

"Come on now," he chuckled. "Do you really think that I'm going to try and hurt you in any way?" Chrisnele nodded naively. The man held out a hand.

"I promised with this hand shake that I will not hurt you. I simply want to talk, since you have been wandering around our school," he said sincerely. Chrisnele reached out and took his hand. She noticed how bony his hands were, once again.

"My name is Astale-Ei-Daemonia.Latreia.Chrisnele," she told him. He looked at her in confusion.

"Just call my Chrissy," she said, rolling her eyes. He smiled stupidly.

"My name is Takuto Hoshina," he smiled. "Now, what are you doing here?"

"I told you," she growled. "I'm simply looking around." Chrisnele lowered her face. Takuto tilted his head in thought. He then had an idea.

"I'm a student teacher here, but I'm on lunch break, would you like to go somewhere?" Takuto asked, smiling innocently. Chrisnele considered the options. She was beginning to get hungry and she didn't have any of the local currency. Chrisnele could go back to Astale, but that would mean facing her father and her arranged marriage. She might go with Takuto, but who could say that he could be trusted? She thought of the mind reading spell. Chrisnele muttered a few words.

"Where will you take me if I agree?" she asked touching his forehead.

"Well, um," he said. His thoughts began to pour into Chrisnele's brain. I could take her to a ramen stand. She looks foreign. Would she like it? I could take her to a restaurant, but which one? My friends say the one near Harajuku is good, Chrisnele heard him think. She now knew that he was a good person, simply looking to have a nice meal with someone whom he had just met.

"Okay," Chrisnele said rudely, "I agree to have you pay for my mid-day meal."

"You are an interesting person, Chrissy," Takuto laughed. Little did Chrisnele know, she was about to get on the ride of her life.

At the restaurant, Chrisnele didn't know what she wanted, so Takuto ordered for her. He had ordered her a rice omelet. As soon as Chrisnele took a bite of it, she was hooked.

"Oh my gosh," Chrisnele said in disbelief. "This is so good!" She looked up at him. Her eyes were wide with enchantment of the single dish. He was suppressing extreme laughter.

"You like it that much?" he inquired. Chrisnele nodded ecstaticly.

"It's the best thing I have ever tasted," she smiled. Takuto was taken back with this girl's pretty smile. He was caught in a daze. Chrisnele had finished hers, whilst Takuto hadn't even touched his.

"Are you going to eat that," she asked, her eyes sparkling. Takuto was snapped out of his daze. He looked at Chrisnele and then at the omelet. The corner of his mouth curled and he began cutting a piece. Chrisnele's face dropped. He lifted the fork with the piece of rice omelet. Takuto reached over to Chrisnele.

"Do you want a bite before I eat the rest?" he asked.

"I sure do," Chrisnele exclaimed. She opened her mouth and Takuto stuck the piece of rice omelet inside. Chrisnele chewed happily. Takuto then finished his rice omelet. When they left the restaurant, it was after dusk. Chrisnele began cursing at herself again, for letting it get too late.

"I have to go back," she said quickly. "I had a nice time today. I loved the rice omelet. I'll probably come back here tomorrow." Takuto was confused by her words, so he smiled.

"Do you remember where the school is?" he asked.

"All I have to do is desire to go there," Chrisnele told him, rolling her eyes. "Anyways, I have to go."

"Wait, Chrissy, where do you live? I'll walk you home," Takuto offered. "It's really dark out and it's really dangerous for a girl to be walking home alone."

"I'm eighteen years old. I'm pretty sure I can handle myself," she smiled. Suddenly, Takuto had grabbed Chrisnele's arms and pinned her against a wall. His face had darkened.

"Where is your strength?" he asked, his face closing in on hers. Chrisnele quivered. What happened to the man she was with a few hours ago?

"I would let you walk me home, but it's really just around the corner," she lied. He then let go of her.

"Don't underestimate a man's power," he muttered. Chrisnele's eyes began to water. She turned the corner and reached up to touch her mirror.

"Astale-Ei-Daemonia.Latriea.Chrisnele," she spoke. Chrisnele was then transported back to Astale. Immediately, the guards were upon her.

"Chrisnele-sama! Where were you?" they yelled. "Lord Latreia was very worried." They took her by the arm and led her to her room. The guards then threw her inside and locked her room. Chrisnele then smirked.

"Do they really think that just locking me in here will keep me in here?" she laughed. Chrisnele knew that she couldn't go through the portal again. She could only wait for morning.
