CHAPTER VII:

Nina POV:

After my date with Hiroki, I went home and was just about to take a nice afternoon nap when the doorbell started ringing rapidly. I shot upright and rushed to the door. Who could be so impatient? Is it something urgent? I swallow down my fears and pull the door wide open. There stands Ayu, her arms full of wedding magazines and brochures. That's right! She and Tetsushi are getting married this spring! I'm so happy for her.. "AYU! I thought somebody had died or something!" "I'm sorry, Nina, I just couldn't contain my excitement! You know how I feel about Tetsushi!" I giggle at her. "What's so funny?" she asks. "Well, someone showing up on your door holding enough magazines to drown them is pretty funny to me! Come in Ayu, you'd better put those down before your arms fall off!" She nods her head in agreement and hobbles inside the door. I try to stifle my laughter, but I just can't help it. She looks so silly trying to walk with all those! "Ah-ahaha-ha" Ayu gives me a mock glare. "H-here, let me - ahaha - help you with that." I force between giggles. I snap my fingers and the magazines rise into the air, floating to the table before they settle into a neat pile. "Wow, Nina, you've gotten really good at magic!" "What do you expect? Hehe, I AM the best witch in the Magic Kingdom now!" "Yeah.. At the time, I really didn't want you to leave. But that was just me being selfish. I'm really glad you were able to go to that elite school, even though I had really missed you!" "Aww Ayu." I smile at her. Soon after Yuta had left, I was tracked down by the principal of the best Magic Academy in the Magic Kingdom. I was allowed to study there on the terms that I would stay for 3 years. I really didn't want to leave my friends, but it wasn't an offer I could turn down. I had always been bullied for being such a terrible witch and it was my true dream to become the best witch in the kingdom! So I agreed to enrol in the school for 3 years. During this time, I still kept in touch with all my friends on Earth, especially Hiroki. The distance didn't stop us from forming a close bond, and our relationship still continues a year after I graduated from the Magic Academy. We're all young adults now, at the age of 18. "Well, now isn't the time to talk about me," I declare. "It's all about you!" Ayu blushes, but grins excitedly. "Alright, Nina, we've already booked a place and these are the decorations I've chosen, now which cake do you think suits the theme best? Oh yeah, and there's also what type of music to play, and I think I wanna hire a live performance, it's just so much better than a radio! And ohmygosh Nina, you've really gotta help me choose a dress! Aren't they all just so beautiful?!" They really were. Ayu babbled on all the way into the evening, and although I really wanted to support her, I couldn't bring myself to be enthusiastic about it. "Is something wrong, Nina? Aren't you happy for me?" Ayu asks worriedly, noticing my unusual quietness. I force a huge grin on my face. "Hehe, nothing's wrong! Of course, I'm happy for you! Why wouldn't I be?" Yes, why..?

Yuta POV:

I felt bad for hurting Sayaka's feelings, but really, what can I do? I just can't make myself love her. I don't know what's wrong with me. Sayaka's so nice, yet I just can't love her. I really don't deserve her.. Maybe I should leave. Move out of her home. But that would hurt her too.. It's still for the best. I've let this lie go on too long, she doesn't need someone like me giving her a false love.

Sayaka POV:

If only I could find out where that wretched girl lived, I would finally get my hands on her. There's only one way to find out - I need to use the program that Yuta uses to track her. I wait until dark when Yuta is fast asleep in bed, then I creep into his study room, and turn on the computer. On the screen, a box opens up saying "Please enter your password." Shit. What could his password be? Wait, who cares? I can use magic. I chant a spell to unlock the code, but it doesn't work. "Damn! He must have used a magic protection spell as well!" What should I do? I ponder my options for awhile, when suddenly I come up with a brilliant idea. "Aha! I'll look into his memory to find out what his password is!" I tiptoe back into his bedroom and creep up next to the bed. He's still sound asleep. His face looks so innocent and angelic when he's sleeping.. I feel my heart soften as I stare at him, and my hand nearly reaches out to stroke his face.. No! I don't want to wake him up. It doesn't matter. I will have him soon. And then I can touch him as much as I like..

Nina POV:

Ayu stayed for dinner and left at around 8 P.M. Although I always enjoyed her company, I was glad to have some time alone. I needed to think. The reason I couldn't be fully happy about Ayu's marriage is because.. I want one of my own. Seeing Ayu so elated about getting married has made me think about when I'll get to experience such joy. It makes me wonder if Hiroki does truly love me, because why hasn't he asked me yet? Maybe he doesn't want to marry me..

Sayaka POV:

I probe through his memories for the password, when I stumble across his memories of that girl.. Nina. I can't believe it! Since early childhood he has loved this girl, and she has never returned his love. As I view his memories of pain, rejection, and tears, I feel the fury burn up inside me. Anyone who hurts Yuta does not deserve to live. Finally, I find his memory of the password, and quickly imprint it into my brain. I return to his study room and type in the password, a series of random numbers and letters that would have been impossible to guess. "Yes!" I'm in. I click the GPS on the computer and type in 'Sakura Nina.' A screen opens up, showing Nina sitting alone in her house. Amazing. Now for the exact location.. Tokyo, Japan. Longitude: 3.8, Latitude: 2.6. "Hahahah, AHAHAHAH... I will find you, Sakura."

P.S. I spent my time writing Chapter 6 for you guys, and even posted Chapter 7 after knowing that no one even read Chapter 6. I'm not sure if I should continue this story if no one appreciates it, because I don't want to waste my time writing a story that nobody reads. So if you actually want me to continue, send me a review saying so, or this story might go down the drain...
