Umeko's POV

'Ugh...my head' I rubbed my temples and realized that I was in my room. I gently smiled remembering that kiss with Haru. I got up felling a little groggy and trudged to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

I went inside, turned on the hot water, and slowly dipped myself in it. I was thinking more about what Miyuri said and what she meant. Does it mean that I'm going to get hurt? My grandfather owned the Elemental Amulet? Does my father know about it? Ugh, questions were buzzing around my head a little bit too much. I got out of the tub and wrapped a clean white towel around me.

I opened the door and was surprised at what I saw...Drake.

I froze in the very spot and stared at him with wide eyes. I blushed a crimson red and remembered what I was wearing.

"Hello Umeko," he said while walking up to me with a scary look on his face. He looked at least 10x scarier than I remember, he had skull tattoos, chain necklaces, black gloves, black eyeline, and ear piercings.

"D-drake, what are you doing here?" I stuttered.

"Oh, just thought that I would visit Hime-chan," Drake slowly said.

"W-well, i-it was nice of you to drop by so uh... G-good-bye," I tried to say and started to walk backwards. I felt the cold wall against my back and I felt doomed.

"Nah~ I think I'm gonna stick around for a while," Drake was right in front of me now and had his hands in his pockets.

"And besides.." he started.

I grunted when he took out his hands and trapped my hands behind my head.

"I kinda like what I'm seeing here..." Drake licked his lips and I closed my eyes.

'Please, someone, anyone...HELP!'

"BWAHAHAHAHA, YOU'RE STILL SO EASY UMEKO," Drake bursted into laughter and flopped into my bed and was holding his stomach.

I froze for a moment and realized what was going on.

"OH! DRAKE YOU STUPID JERK! AND YOU'RE AN ICKY PERVERT TOO!" I pouted while waving my arms in the air.

He calmed down and looked at me and chuckled. A thought occured to me and I smirked.

"I wonder what's with you and Haru all of a sudden. We haven't acted like this for a long time," I walked over to him sexilly and was moving my hips with every step.

His eyes widened and immediately looked down. I slowly took my index finger and raised his chin up so we looked at each other face to face. I slowly whispered, "Missed me much?"

He blushed and steam was coming out of his ears. I bursted into laughter, 'I can't believe my old best guy friends are back. I'm glad.'

"Well, can you at least leave? I have to change you know?" I bluntly stated.

"Er-um...right, see ya later. And Oh yeah, wanna hang out today with Haru? Like old times," he smirked.

I was shocked for a moment, but slowly smiled, "Hai."

timeskip to after Umeko changes...

Normal POV

Umeko walked out of her mansion and saw her childhood guy friends. They were in casual clothes, Drake was wearing a tight skull shirt with skinny jeans, black snearkers, and a chain on his left pocket. Haru was wearing a white sports long and tight long sleeve shirt with baggy jeans and white sneakers.

I walked out wearing demin shorts, a white blouse with rolled-up sleeves, combat boots, and I had a waterfall braid. I looked up at them and smiled and they smiled back.

I ran up to them, "Ohayou guys!"

"Ohayou," they replied in unison.

"Let's go," Haru motioned.

"Go where?" Umeko questioned with a curious look.

"You should know," Drake smirked.

My eyes widened and I smiled a really wide one. Maybe a Chesire Cat smile x).

I know exactly what they're talking about and immediately ran to that place.

"H-hey! Wait up," Drake yelled from the distance.

"Umeko-chan, sheesh," Haru ran after Umeko and Drake slowly followed.

timeskip to whee Umeko is...

Haru's POV

I managed to catch up to Umeko and started to pant heavilly, Drake did the same. I looked up at Umeko and smiled. She spreaded her arms out and the wind flew passed her gracefully.

"I missed this place," she softly said.

"Hmft, glad you still remember," Drake replied.

"Hai, it was the first place you guys ever took me when we were kids, we would always hang out and play together here. That was, until you were nominated the 2 top dark mages in the guild and turned cold," Umeko sadly said.

Me and Drake both cringed and looked down. We had to do it for a reason and it was to protect her.

"Hey Drake," Umeko called.

Drake looked up, "Yeah?"

"Did you know that me and Haru are gonna get married and that I chose him," Umeko sadly asked.

We were close friends and still are, we were distant from each other for at least 6 years. All those years I've been in love with Umeko, and Drake saw her as his sister.

"Hai, congats you two. And Haru," Drake glared at me.

"Take care of her or else," he darkly said.

"Heh heh...hai..." I awkwardly said.

Umeko giggled and looked back up to the sky. She looked so angelic and beautiful, I can't wait for our wedding day.
