Now that the lovely scene is over, let's move on to the next day. At this day, Alisa and Sapphire is hanging out at the bench near the vending machine, in the Rookie Section, they've got nothing to do. "Yesterday was full of events, but today is full of nothing ..." Sapphire commented.

Alisa just chuckled, and then a familiar face appeared, it was none other than Kota, "Hi guys! Today is a little bit boring, huh?" he said as he sits next to his Leader. "Little bit? You mean very boring, we've got nothing to do, and it's already afternoon!" Sapphire said, Alisa nod her head in agreement.

"... So true …", she said, Kota thinks for a while, since Sapphire and Alisa doesn't know that he knew about them being together, he should ask a particular question, "So ... What have you guys been up to?" Kota said abruptly, he studies their reaction carefully, beginning with Alisa who said nothing, but is a little red on the cheek, and Sapphire who is very good at pretending he doesn't know anything, "What do you mean, dude?" Sapphire said.

He seem to be playing with Kota's question, and of course, Kota notice this, so he ask another question, (Boy, when Kota wants to know something, he sure is focused!) "I meant, what have you guys been doing for the last few days?" Sapphire told him this, "Well, yesterday was pretty eventful ..." and he said it without lying, if he was lying Kota would notice, but he's not.

"Oh really, what, did anything happened?" Kota asks swiftly, "What are you, a Detective?" Sapphire said jokingly, this cause Alisa to giggled, but Kota didn't mind, and he's also smiling. Sapphire continues, "So yesterday, I was on a mission with a girl", this seem to caught Kota attention, he didn't notice that Alisa stopped giggling and rolled her eyes, "And who is this girl exactly?" Kota asks directly.

Sapphire then answered him, "She is somebody new at the Den … Onyx", Kota sweat-dropped, he thought it was Alisa, Sapphire really knows how to mess with his head. "Onyx … You mean the Gods Eater from HQ? I didn't see her yet ... So what does she looks like?" Kota ask, forgetting about Sapphire and Alisa's relationship, and instead focus about this new girl in the Den.

"She is called Onyx because of her looks, isn't that right Alisa?" Sapphire asks towards Alisa, who is listening intently to both of them, and she answers forwardly, "Yes, just imagined her in a black Battle Outfit, a black hair, and wearing glasses." Now that she thinks about it, Onyx does look cute ... continuing on.

Kota then felt confused, "Wait ... if she is called Onyx? Then is she a relative of yours?" he ask towards Sapphire, "Yup! You're right! She's my cousin!" Sapphire answers proudly. Kota then commented, "Is every one of your relative is name after jewelry?"

Alisa heard that and is curious about it too, Sapphire look at both of them then he said, "Uh, nope, not all of them. Only me, which it is Sapphire, my cousin, Onyx, my other cousin, Philosopher, though we call him Phil, and my sister Juvia … which is not jewelry … well, her nickname is Diamond … So yeah."

Both Kota and Alisa is surprised when he said sister, "You have a sister?!" They shouted. Sapphire gawked at their reaction, then explained himself, "Twin sister actually, and I haven't seen my sister for like, a very long time, she's with my aunt from my mother side, Aunt Seraph … after an experience I rather not talk about ... but I did kept in touch with her, emailing her from time to time …"

Kota doesn't know about the experience Sapphire is talking about, so he won't pry about it. But for Alisa, she knows it when he said an 'experience', is that when his father leaves.

"So why does she leave you? If you don't mind telling us ..." Alisa asked, feeling very curious herself. Sapphire, like usual, doesn't really mind, "Nah, I don't mind, she with Aunt Seraph, because she have to, we were forced to be separated ... As long as she with my aunt, I know she'd be safe, my aunt is a Gods Eater of the Europe Branch ..." Kota then said, "Force to be separated?!"

Sapphire explain again, "Me and my sister are very close, but we have to be separated for um ... personal reason ... well you see, me and my aunt aren't exactly in friendly terms ..."

Alisa ask again, "Aren't in friendly terms?", Sapphire finishes, "She hates me … probably because I was always mischievous ... and yeah I always annoyed her … so yeah maybe that's why …"

"Who knew?" Kota thought then he said, "Well, how about your other cousin? The one you're living with?" Alisa listen closely for this one, "Well, for that, Onyx doesn't mind, but not my Uncle Hawke … who doesn't like Juvia very much ..." he said.

Alisa and Kota both ask at the same time, "Why?" Sapphire tells them, "Well, you see, she is every bit like me, so that would mean that she is every as mischievous as me … and she didn't like Uncle Hawke like either … so she prank at him way as much as I prank my aunt ..."

Alisa then put her opinions in, "So ... let me just say this, your family is way too dysfunctional ..." Sapphire laughs at that, "Damn right! ... But yeah I miss my sister; I wish I could see her again … not by email, no."

Kota then tried to cheer him up, "Don't worry, maybe someday you'll be able to see her again, assuming if you are able to!" Alisa then tries to cheer him up too, "Yeah, you miss her right? So you will see her again, I'll help if I can!"

Sapphire then smile widely, "Thanks guys! And Alisa, I might just take you up on that ..." Alisa then said, "Anytime..."

So having heard enough about family matters, Sapphire had been summoned by Hibari, so now the trio is in a mission with Sakuya. In today's mission, they have to hunt a Chi-You within the Tranquil Temple. "Wow, I thought today is going to be boring, but then we have a sudden mission from !"

Kota said, "I'll say, at least we got something to do ... thank god … no pun intended" Sapphire agrees with Kota. "Still, I wonder why the sudden mission? I know the Director has gone to Europe for a while and Sasaki is put in charge ..." Sakuya wondered.

Alisa then states her opinion, "Maybe this particular Aragami is troublesome?" Sakuya is not convinced, "Hmm ... Maybe ..."

Sapphire reassured her, "No worries! We here to hunt this troublesome Aragami and that's it!" After a while of searching, Sapphire then suggested that they should split up, Sakuya agrees with the idea and went with Kota, while Alisa is with Sapphire.

When Kota is alone with Sakuya, he decided to ask her something, "Hey Sakuya ..." he got her attention, "Hmm?" Sakuya is listening. "... Don't you think that our Leader is getting pretty close to Alisa, lately?" This made Sakuya to pretend that she didn't notice for Alisa's sake, "Really?" She said.

Kota then continues, "Yeah, they always with each other ... and Alisa didn't seem to annoy Sapphire, like she annoys me!" Sakuya chuckled, he is right, Alisa does like to annoy Kota, "Well, maybe they just being friendly to each other ..." Kota shakes his head, "No, I don't think so ... I notice that Alisa seems to be happy when Sapphire is around ..."

Sakuya then said, "You know that our Leader is a great guy to be with." Kota agrees with that, "I know that, is just that ... whenever Sapphire is makes a joke, she giggles! But she didn't when I crack a joke, my jokes is just as funny as Sapphire's right?" Sakuya rolled her eyes; this conversation is going to take a while.

Well, let's check up on the two lovebirds. "...So yeah, I more of a Sniper then an Assault ..." Alisa said, they seem to be discussing about battle tactics, "Really? Well, I am more comfortable in Assault, but I am also pretty good at shooting too, though not like you", Sapphire said.

Alisa chuckled at that statement, "Actually, 'Pretty Boy', I think you are more of an Assassin, because you are good at ambush and 'One-Hit Kill' moves." She stated.

Sapphire looks at her, not from her statement but for what she said, "'Pretty Boy'? ... Anyway, you might be right, but 'One Hit Kill'? I don't think I can kill an Aragami with one strike ..." Alisa disagrees, "You are just being modest, I saw you split an Orgetail in half!"

Sapphire disagrees, "You mean almost … almost split it in half ... and I don't think that could count as a one-hit kill ..." Alisa then said, "Well, You 'almost' split the Aragami in one swift slash, so there."

Sapphire thought for a moment, "Okay, you are right, but that is a small Aragami, not a big one, like ... like ..." He seems to be stuck at 'like', looks like Alisa is winning and she is pressuring Sapphire, "Like what?" Sapphire paused for a moment then shout, "Like that Chi-You!" He and Alisa then dodged the swooping Chi-You just in time.

"Oh! This is the second time we have been ambush by an Aragami!" Alisa complained out loud, Sapphire can't help but agree with her, "Yeah! I'm going to make sure that you won't fly again." He said in a menacing tone towards the unlucky Aragami.

Now, we're back to Sakuya and Kota, "... I know that he is handsome and all-" "Stop! Did you hear something?" Sakuya interrupts Kota's lament.

"No, just my voice ..." Kota answered, but then he heard something, "Sakuya! You're right! I did hear something!" She then ordered, "Then let's check it out!" When they arrive, they saw a surprising sight… a Chi-You split in to two.

"See? I told you! You are an Assassin!" Alisa commented, obviously not noticing Sakuya and Kota, "Yeah, yeah, you're right ..." Sapphire said tiredly. "Did you split this Aragami in half?!" Kota screamed in shock, it is not every day that you'll get to see a half body of an Aragami.

Alisa was surprised to see them, however, Sapphire is not, "Oh no! I didn't slash this Aragami with my God Arc, it just landed in front of me and Alisa, and it happened to cut itself in half ..." he said sarcastically. Alisa giggled, while Kota actually believes him, "Wow! What a weird Aragami!" Sakuya chuckled and tell Kota, "Kota, he was being sarcastic ..."

"What? Oh ..." Kota said. "So I guess this means that this mission is cleared?" Sakuya asks Sapphire, "Yeah, let me just devour this Aragami before we head back" Sapphire then moves near the dead Aragami, but just as he begins to devour it, a voice stops him, "Hey, hold up!" the voice said.

The team turns to see and Soma behind him, "Huh?" Sakuya said, Kota then ask him, "Doc, what are you doing here?"

"I'll explain later." he simply said, "Just leave that ... uh ... half Aragami alone, and come here for a second, will you?" he continues while gesturing his hands to hide behind the wooden house, as they do what they been told, Alisa and Sapphire glance at each other in confusion, then joins them.

After a while of waiting, they then see a girl-like figure move towards the Aragami, "It's coming!", Sasaki whispered when he witness the figure, then as the figure is uh, apparently 'eating' the dead Aragami, the team then surrounds it, when they did, the figure turns out to be a poorly, clothed girl, and she is covered with bloods of the Aragami she 'ate'.

The 'girl' looks at them for a while then said, "Uh ... I ... am ..." she wipes the blood from her mouth, "Hungry?" That creep Kota out, "Whoa!" he yelps. Silenced, then Sasaki breaks it, "Well, now! It is good to see you!" he said.

"So you finally decided to show yourself!" he then turns to Soma, "Soma … thanks to you for bringing her here. I can be with her now ... thanks to you!"

Soma then said, "No need to thank me, but how about an explanation?" then everyone turns to Sasaki as he explains, "Well, since she was stubborn about not showing up, I eradicated what she's been feeding on this area, even the pickiest of eaters can't ignores the pangs of huger, right?"

Everyone react in a different way, Sapphire is silent, Alisa kind of understood, Sakuya is confused, Kota is freaked out and Soma is just surprised, in which he said, "Man, your sneakiness, at least, has no peer."

Kota then asks Sasaki, "Um ... Doctor ... s-so who is this kid?" Sasaki seems to be realizing something, "Oh right! We shouldn't be chatting here, like this, I'll explain later in my lab, I apologize from keeping it from you all this time ..."

He turns towards the mysterious girl, "You ... you'll come with us, won't you?", the girl can only answer weirdly, "I'm ready to eat!", Soma thing this girl is strange, "Huh?", the girl then looks at him and said something weirder, "I was ready to eat?"

Okay, this is weird, let's just fast-forward to the lab, "HUH?!" everyone shouted ... except Soma, everyone freezes in a silly pose for a while ... except Soma.

Sakuya is the first to speak, "Um ... What did you say?" That question is directed towards Sasaki, everyone seems to mishear what he just said about this girl, "Um ... I'll said it as many time as necessary, this is an Aragami."

Author's Note:

I would really love to write something action in this story but I have no Idea of how to do so. Anyways, sorry for the late chapter.
