(Author's POV)

It was almost nine and yet a lot of people were still very much awake. Two of these certain people were Yufumi Kitsune and Tsukasa Eirin.

Tsukasa, the raven-haired teen, was smiling ear-to-ear as he walked slowly back towards their mansion. He completely forgot about the festival at the nearby town due to a new-found *ahem* friend named Yufumi.

They were holding hands because of the taller guy's insistence. The other was warm while the other was cold.

"Are we there yet?" Yufumi asked with a hint of annoyance. In return, the questioned person squeezed his hand.

They stopped walking when they reached a very large red gate. None of them can see the other side but both of them think they're in the right place.

Tsukasa's eyes twinkled.

"We're here"


(Tsukasa's POV)

"I know I hid the key...here!" I held out the small golden key before Yufumi-kun.

For the first time in my whole life, I want someone to be impressed.

"Well what are you waiting for?" He asked with his arms crossed. Looks like the person I want to make an impression on isn't that easy to impress. He was like a grown guy in a teenager's body. He was just a little bit smaller than me. It was quite fascinating to know he wasn't human.

"So...how old are you?" I asked as I opened the gate. We pushed it together since he noticed I had a hard time on it. Let's just say I'm not used to opening it myself. There used to be people who open them for me but they seemed to busy tonight.

"I'm seventeen. How about you?" I looked at him for a minute to see if he was kidding. He wasn't.

"You're seventeen?! You look fifteen!" No. He looks fourteen! I jokingly said but I was dead serious. Are all those 'arcobalenos' like him? What's funnier was that he looked at me as if I was the one joking.

"I'm two years younger than you. Yare yare, you really are small aren't you?" I laughed as I guided him towards our mansion. It was a great thing I know all the blind spots of the hidden cameras my father had installed. I wouldn't want him to interrupt me.

"So where exactly are you taking me to, Eirin?" His question stopped me. I turned towards him with a smirk

"First rule in my territory, never ever call me by my last name. Just call me Tsukasa, got it?"

"Fine. Tsukasa, where are you dragging me to?" He asked again in curious tone.

"My dearest non-human friend" I grinned. "I'm not dragging you anywhere! You had a choice and you chose me and have anyone ever told you that you ask too much questions? We're going to my place obviously!" I enthusiastically declared as I pointed at our majestic "house". Though we were facing the back of it, I had to say our mansion was an impressive sight.

"Not bad for a crazy guy who accuses random people of being a ghost. Don't worry, I'm just going to stay for the night and I'll be out of your hair soon." It was dark yet the thing around his neck shone visibly, but the thing that bothered me more was that he sounded uncaring.

Why can't he stay?

I opened the door towards the kitchen. Weird. No one was there.

"There are usually a lot of people around here but there's this meeting my father prepared so all the chefs and the maids must be in the family room serving the guests." I remarked before I opened one of the fridges .Shoot. There were only water bottles in it. I can't remember which fridge they store the food.

"You thirsty?" I asked right after I grabbed two bottles. I threw one at him and he caught it coolly.

"It's not cold." He stated the obvious.

"Well yeah, they probably just stored it in a few minutes ago." I opened mine and before I even knew it, I was drinking really cold water, like icy cold.

Naturally I almost spitted it.

He snickered.

"Sorry. Did I surprise you?" He sounded innocent which he certainly isn't.

"You are so going to tell me how you could do this and that later." I took his arm and kind of dragged him up the stairs. What can I say? I was excited to show him my room.

"Do you always drag people?" He complained. Ooops!

"Not really. You're an exception." I said happily. "Hurry up. We're almost near my room"

"You drag people into your room?"He asked incredulously. I grinned. Hadn't I told him already that he was an exception?

"You're not exactly human and I'm pretty sure my father won't believe me if I told him you're some kind of non-human being and that you need a place to stay. So...let's keep you a secret!" I slyly said while I opened the door towards my room.

"After you" I curtsied for an effect before I released my firm grip from his arm.

I saw his face light up.

"Thanks. You have a nice room." He sounded a bit tired. Oh shoot! How stupid of me to forget! Of course he's tired.

"I know just the right thing to show you. Come here. " I strutted towards the huge terrace in the centre of my room and opened the glass sliding door.

He stood right next to me and we looked outside. We could both see the nearby village.

"What? You want to show me the village?" He asked. He looked at me with a smile as if I was just being silly.

"Nope. Not that. Just wait for a few seconds."

BOOM!

The fireworks showed up just in time, but I didn't watch it.

...instead of the fireworks, I looked at Yufumi's face.

And he was smiling.

I'm glad I found him.
