I'm ashamed that it's almost been a month since I last updated, but hey, at least I'm updating now, right?

DISCLAIMER: I know I don't, I just liked putting this here so people know.

Seiran stood at the foot of the stairs leading to the Kaede shrine. He needed to confront Kaede and convince him to come back for his Dominion's sake. He didn't want her to suffer any longer. He slowly made his way up, organizing his thoughts looking for the right words to say when he faced his friend. He stopped beneath the shrine gate and took in his surroundings. Nothing seems to have changed around here. He entered and sat at the temple steps. Kaede should be back from his usual morning jog right about now. That is, if he's still doing his usual routines. He hugged his knees and rested his forehead on them. Seiran missed spending time with him. He even missed their bickering.

His eyes shot open(without realizing he had closed them) as he heard footsteps. The Blue Rhode Knight bolted up and went behind the temple to find the red head leaning against the wall, panting. He was clad in his tracksuit. Seiran exhaled quietly and approached him. "Hey Kae—"

Kaede retreated back to his house before Seiran got his attention. The blue haired boy followed him like a baby chick would its mother. The taller boy didn't seem to mind and just let Seiran chase after him. "Hey, Kaede I'm talking to you!" Kaede's behaviour was starting to annoy him. The Red Rhode Knight kept ignoring him and went over to his fridge to get a bottle of water. He leaned on the door after closing it and quickly downed the water.

"So, what do you want?" He finally said after going over to the table in the living room. He took the remote and switched the television on.

Seiran went after him and sat near him enough to block the TV. "Kaede, won't you come back to us?" He pouted. Maybe acting cute would get to him. The other boy responded by looking away tiredly. It didn't seem to work. "Please come back, Kaede. I don't want to see Anis-sama suffer anymore."

A scowl formed on his face. He still refused to answer to Seiran's pleas. The blue haired boy sneered at this. He averted his eyes. Something on the table caught his attention. "Is that... an Arcana card?" He asked reaching out to it, only to be beaten to it by Kaede. He then slipped it into one of his pockets. "Come on, Kaede. We should give that to Anis-sama!"

Kaede turned a blind ear to him and rose from his position only to be stopped by the petite boy. Seiran grasped onto the back of his shirt tightly. "Please, Kaede!" He pleaded once more. The next thing Seiran knew was that his back was on the floor, the back of Kaede's hand connected with his face. A small bruise started to form on his cheek. The dumbstruck teen sat up slowly and brought his hand up the mark.

"Domina Galacta is my Dominion," The Red Rhode Knight disappeared into the kitchen.

Seiran blinked once and regained his composure. "KAEDE, YOU JERK!" He shouted, unable to contain his anger any longer and stormed out of the house.

Anis thought long and hard on how to get that idiot Kaede back. There was still hope. Why else would he help her in class the other day ago? She stretched her arms while on her usual way to school. She admits that the note Seiran gave her the other day cheered her up. She was glad that he thought so much of her. Well, so does Mitsuru, but he's just plain creepy. Mutsuki had his good points too. An image of her and her Black Rhode Knight embracing popped up in her mind. She blushed furiously as she remembered what happened that day at the library. Mutsuki did help her calm down by doing that, so she'll let it slide for now. She smiled. Her grin grew wider as she spotted a certain blue haired teen. "Seiran-kun!" She called out. He kept walking and ignored her as if he wasn't hearing anything. Anis raised a brow and tried to catch up with him. "Hey, Seiran-kun! Good morning!" She said once more, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Oh, good morning Anis-sama," He replied nonchalantly. Something seemed off about him. She observed him, head to toe to see if there was anything different. The bandage on his left cheek caught her attention.

"What happened to you, Seiran-kun?" She asked, concern present in her tone.

Seiran flinched. "I was just mixing some chemicals last night and it went wrong, so I got this," He explained, hoping she wouldn't see through his lie.

Anis frowned and tried to touch it. He winced as her fingers touched the cover. "You know Seiran-kun, you're a really bad liar." He smirked and looked away, waves of guilt going through him.

"Did Kaede do this to you?"

"..."

The Rose Princess's eyes widened and started to flare with anger. How could he hurt his childhood friend like that? "That idiot! I'm going to—!"

"No, Anis-sama!" He grabbed her arm before she stormed off to find Kaede. She looked back at him with a confused expression on her face. "I tried to talk some sense into him this morning, but he just wouldn't listen..." He trailed off and let go of her arm.

"But why did he have to hurt you?" She asked outraged.

"..." Seiran averted his gaze once more. "He had an Arcana card."

Her eyes widened. She was so caught up in wanting to get Kaede back, she forgot about collecting the cards! "I told him he should give it to you, but he said that..." He paused, stopping at midsentence. Anis waited longingly for him to finish his sentence. "...Domina Galacta was his Dominion."

Rage started to well up inside her. She balled her hands into fists and stomped away, but was stopped again by Seiran. "Anis-sama... please, don't do anything reckless," He pleaded.

Anis's expression softened as she looked at his amber eyes. "I'm sorry, Seiran-kun. And thanks."
