"Don't pretend to be asleep, I know you're awake" 'she' said, "Oh man, so this is the bad feeling I've got earlier, should have gone to my room! ... But even so, she will follow me there!" Sapphire thinks to himself.

"Uh ... w-what's up, Alisa?", he said as he opens his eyes, and what he sees is a terrifying sight, if looks can kill, it will certainly overkill Sapphire over and over and over an-you know what? We're stalling, "Don't 'what's up' me!" she said in a stern voice.

Sapphire is terrified, so he speaks in a terrified voice, "Eh, w-whatever do y-you m-mean?" Alisa keep on saying, "Don't play dumb with me, Sapphire!" She is pretty much jealous.

"Oh no ... How could she have known? This is not about 'it'?" Sapphire thought to himself, Alisa has find out about his misdeed, "'Anything' you want to tell me?", she now put her arms on her hips.

Sapphire gulped, and slowly said, "H-how could you know?" Alisa answered shortly, "From Hibari"

"Seriously?!" Thought Sapphire, "Hibari knows about 'it' as well? I should have known she was a spy ..." He is so speechless right now.

Alisa then drags him to elevator, so while the elevator is descending, she tells him, "You're with a mission with another girl, right?!" Sapphire confessed, he barely heard what she said, "It's true! I stole those Cupcakes while you were asleep-A girl?" he stopped abruptly and is staring at her.

Alisa paused for a bit, then said, "Hibari said you're on a mission with another girl ... so I thought ..." Before she could finish, Sapphire takes her hands and hold them tightly, this caught Alisa by surprise.

He then speaks gently, "So is that was all this is about? Oh Alisa, even if I was on a mission with another girl, I will never replace you ..." Alisa was happy when he said that, but then she feels a bit guilty, "I-I'm... Sorry ... I'm sorry for not trusting you ..." she said in a sad tone.

Sapphire then touch her chin and said, "Hey, don't be sorry, I would feel the same too, if you're on a mission with another guy ... In fact, I will beat the guy just to win you back!" he saying that, made Alisa happy, "Oh thank you Sapphire!" she hugged him tightly, Sapphire smiles, as well.

But they still on the elevator, and the elevator stops just a while ago, so they didn't notice someone staring at them, and that person is ... Tsubaki.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?", Tsubaki said catching both of the lover's attention, Alisa and Sapphire break up their love hug and was very surprised, "Uh, this isn't what it's looks like! Wait, this is what it looks like, but it's not what you think we're doing!" Sapphire said in a rush, Alisa just silenced, her face is red as tomato.

However, Tsubaki just chuckled, "Hmm-hmm, don't worry, I didn't 'see' you lovebirds hugging each other." Sapphire just blush while adjusting his collar. Tsubaki then said, "You lucky I'm the only one here, or else the news about you two will spread in the whole Den." Sapphire and Alisa thanked her, "Thank you, Tsubaki."

Tsubaki chuckled again, "Okay then and get out of here you lovebirds!" Both of the lovers when towards Sapphire's room and then stands there for a while ... utter silence, "Hah ... I never thought you were the jealous type, Alisa!" Sapphire said breaking the silence atmosphere, Alisa pouted, "Look who's talking! You the one who said if I'm on a mission with another guy, you'll beat him up!"

Sapphire chuckled then laughed, "Ha ha, okay I might have said that, and I meant it! I love you, and only you Alisa!" he pull her closer to him, "Nobody could ever replace you ... you're the only one for me ..." Alisa was now the happiest and the luckiest girl in the world, she had a very loyal boyfriend, "Oh Sapphire, I love you too ..." she kiss him passionately.

Then they broke up the kiss, and is staring into each other's eyes, Sapphire took this blissful moment to say, "... Besides ... the other girl is my cousin ..." Alisa was shocked, "Really?! She's your cousin? ... Whew!" she sighed in relieved.

"Yup, and I haven't seen her for six years!" Sapphire said happily, Alisa was taken aback, "Really? Six years?" Sapphire then holds her hands, "It is much better to show you through resonance, when I was with my cousin", Alisa then experience a resonance of Sapphire's past. (Its looks like Sapphire have gotten used of the Resonance!)

The world turn black for a second, then a young teenage Sapphire shows up, he was in a room, he seem to be very sad. Just then the door opened, revealing a young teenage Onyx, looking very concern for Sapphire, "Hey Sapphire ... Are you okay?" she asked.

Sapphire didn't answer right away, "... Yeah ... I'm fine ..." Onyx wasn't convinced, "You don't sound like it!" She shouted. Sapphire didn't say anything, "Where is the cheery, funny Sapphire from before? ... You are not yourself anymore ..." Sapphire finally replies, "I'm not, ever since my dad left me ... You know ..."

Onyx already know this, why does her uncle leave his only son alone? Even if Auntie is … dead … doesn't mean he should. "... And these headphones are the only thing he left behind ..." he continues.

Onyx then sits right beside him and comforted him, "Sapphire, you father may left you for some reason that we won't know, but at least you still have us ..." Sapphire is silent, that's right, he still does have his cousins, who will support him no matter what, he loves his family, and his family loves him ... minus his father, that is.

"Hah ... You're right ... Well mostly … I can't sit around here like an emotional person, I'll have to face the truth!" Sapphire said, Onyx was happy that he finally realize, "Oh good you're finally yourself again, after two whole months of emotional epitaphs, you finally have an epiphany!"

Sapphire said half smiling, "Yeah, my father may have left me, but that doesn't mean I should feel the emptiness." Onyx supports him, "Right, so what are you going to do about it?" Sapphire thinks for a moment, "Hmm ... Well my father is a Gods Eater, so maybe if I become a Gods Eater, maybe I can find out why he left ..." he suggested.

Onyx thinks about it as well, "Maybe you're right ... if you're going to be a Gods Eater, then I become one to!" Sapphire agrees, "Sure! Let us join the ranks of the Gods Eater... that a sound a bit weird now does it?"

"Yes, yes it is."

The resonance ends here. Alisa thought of something, and that something is, "Wow … Sapphire you sure can change the mood around you quickly..." Sapphire thanked her for that, "Thanks, you know; Onyx said the very same thing, but whatever!"

Alisa chuckled, then something clicked in her mind, "Oh yeah, what was that you say about 'stealing cupcakes' a while ago?" she then put her hands on hips, displaying her 'Are you hiding something?' look.

Sapphire, which was cheerful, a while ago, now sweat-dropped, "Err … that ... well you see ... huh ..." he is loss for words. Alisa then makes him 'Spill the beans', "I was wondering where all of my food has disappeared to, I guess that you 'don't' have anything to do about it?" her sarcasm seems to affect Sapphire.

"Either that you're being sarcastic, or you already knew ... Oh alright! I did kind of steal those cupcakes when you are asleep ... Please! Don't be mad at me! It's just that those cupcakes are too delicious!" Sapphire defends his case.

Alisa rolls her eyes, maybe she could give him a chance, "Okay, okay, I give you a second chance, just don't do it again!" she said. Sapphire is overwhelmed with joy, and he hugged her just to say thanks, Alisa was happy as well, only because her boyfriend is silly.
