And since I'm so nice, I'll let you guys off with just one person's reviews and updatexD I'm expecting some more thoughts and opinions from you guys soon though! Ideas are always welcome!! Anyways, onto the story…

When I got back to the Inn, I flopped back on my bed and stared at the ceiling. 'So Hikari and Wizard were lovers huh…? I wonder what it was that he did in his past that made Hikari avoid him or whatever…'

Turning onto my side, I sighed, hugging my cream-coloured pillow tightly as I stared at the far wall, it's colour dim with the lights off. Sure it was the middle of the day, but who says you can't have a nap, even when you're an adult? Okay, I'm not even an adult; I am only eighteen… Close enough to be considered an adult though~

I shut my eyes, willing myself to sleep, but failed horribly. Sighing, I stood and walked out of my room, glancing at the clock as I went '16:00… So that would be about 4 P.M…' I've always been curious as to why they use twenty-four hour clocks here… Shrugging the thought off, I exited the Inn, letting my mind wander as I walked about the town…

Before I knew it, I was standing in front of Wizard's house, the door open with him standing there, looking at me quizzically. "Can I… Help you?" he questioned, tilting his head slightly, obviously not noticing he was doing so, causing his pale, sandy-blonde hair to fall in front of his golden eye.

A blush rose from my cheeks, spreading to my forehead, neck and ears. My jaw was slack and I seemed to have forgotten how to function it properly. Why the hell did I come here?! I can't believe I did something so embarrassing!

"Arina?" he asked, a worried tone weaved through his voice. "Are you sick? You feel awfully warm…" If it were possible, I would have blushed harder when he set his forehead against mine, testing how warm I felt.

"Ahh… I-I-I'm fine!" I insisted, cursing mentally at the fact I stuttered. I never stutter. Ever. Sighing, and still blushing heavily, I looked down, playing with the bottom of my sweater as if it were the most interesting thing in the world. "I, um, uh…"

At a loss for words, Wizard gave me a small smile, stepping back from the door way. "Would you… Like to come in?" Without a word, I nodded furiously, shuffling inside, still staring at the ground. It wasn't until I saw water dripping that I realized what the man in front of me was wearing; well, better put, wasn't wearing.

Wizard was only in a pair of blue jeans, something I questioned whether or not he owned. His chest remained bare, and even the hair at the side of his face remained un-touched, water weaved through the strands and clinging to his body. A blush shot up my face once more. Dammit! Just when it was starting to fade too. "Uh, I-I'm sorry! Is this a bad time?!"

"Not really… You knocked just as I was getting out of the shower…" he explained, unable to see why I was so flushed in my current position. That or he didn't care that I was seeing him half naked. "Now, what was it… You needed?"

Taking a sudden interest in my shoes, I urged my heart to slow and my cheeks to stop blushing. "Uh, actually… I was kind of wandering around and, uh, when I came back to reality from my thoughts, I was standing at your door…" I explained, the thought just letting the pink rise in my cheeks once more.

A small chuckle came from the tall man in front of me. "I see," he said simply, disappearing around a corner without a word.

Curious, I wandered where he was going and if I should follow, but just as I was about to turn the corner, I smacked into something hard. Rubbing my nose, I blinked and glanced up to see what I ran into, only to return to being speechless when a young, silver haired girl turned and looked at me. Who was she?

Orange eyes stared into my sapphire ones, but turned casually. "G- Er, Wizard? Who's this?" she asked, pointing at me as she stared into the room which appeared to be a kitchen. The girl wore a slightly strange outfit; Puffed white and black stripped shorts, a little black t-shirt with quite a bit of frill and lace that was cut pretty low, plus a small witch's hat was perched on the top of her head, only staying on from the ribbon that was tied under her chin.

Wizard glanced up before walking over to us, holding two mugs, passing one to me and keeping the other for himself. I smiled slightly at the aroma; Hot chocolate. Seems he was starting to catch on it was one of my favourite drinks. The orange eyed girl just crossed her arms, looking quite displeased. "What about me?!"

"You said… You didn't want anything…" he grinned, sipping what I assumed was coffee. "V- Uh, Witch, this is Arina, a new islander. Arina, this is the Witch Princess," he introduced, letting the conversation take over from there.

"Wizard! Why do you have some… Some mundane human here?!" the girl asked in a rant-like fashion. Hm. I guess she wasn't too pleased to see me here. Looks like our feelings are mutual then.

Grinning quietly to myself, I listened to Gale explain that I had just come by to say hello as he was getting out of the shower. Woulda thought she'd known that since I assumed she had been here for a while now…

Then I thought. Witch Princess? Deffinatly not her real name… Perhaps she was like Wizard and only revealed her true name to a lover? That would mean she too could do magic! It looked like the pieces were just falling into the puzzle… Well, so I thought.

Shaking the thought out of my head, I was about to introduce myself properly, but didn't get the chance.

"Well, it hasn't been much of a pleasure meeting you, but either way, would you mind leaving? Wizard and I were in the middle of something," she said, wrapping her arms around his neck as she seemed to shove her cleavage against his chest. Sighing, Wizard didn't bother saying anything against it.

For some reason, my chest ached and I just wanted to slap the girl and tell her to get away from him. But how could I, not knowing what their relationship was? Maybe they were lovers…

The thought made me feel as if a knife had plunged into my heart, but I wouldn't know why, not until later in my story.

"I… I see…" I choked, out setting the mug on a counter near-by before hugging myself. "I'll leave you two then…"

"Arina…" Wizard said, holding out a hand to touch my shoulder, only for it to be slapped away.

"Don't touch me… Please, just…"

And with that I ran to the Inn, tears burning in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall.

I slammed my room's door shut behind me, falling on my bed and squeezing my pillow to my chest. The tears I tried so hard to keep back streamed down my cheeks, making my eyes burn even more. Before I knew it, slept overtook my mind and body. I sure was thankful for that… Sleep always made things better.

Well, until the nightmares rolled in.
