Chapter 10- A Magical Date:

Sena:

The next morning, I felt a lot better. I got the thoughts from last night and that conversation and the incident with Nekozawa out of my head. I was okay. I was happy now. I giggled and got ready to do the spell. Haschen looked at me curiously and I smiled at her,

"I'll love on you in a minute, okay? I just need to contact her."
"How's her?"
"My friend, she's a witch."
Haschen dove behind me,

"A-A witch? Aren't they evil?"
"Not all of them," I shrugged, "I mean, they all use black magic so that's a bit more dangerous. But she's okay. She's not evil, I promise."
"So she won't use me in a spell or turn me into rabbit casserole?"

I giggled,
"No, fluff, I promise she won't hurt you…and you need to stop watching so many movies."
Haschen whined,
"But Sennnaaa, I like my movies."

I giggled,

"Okay…just not much, alright?"
Haschen nodded eagerly. I sat down criss-crossed and put my hands on my knees in concentration. In front of me was my book of spells, opened on pg. 666, the page I needed. I giggled to myself slightly, all I need is a mirror now- 42 42 564 whenever you wanna knock on Death's door. Hehe, that was one of my favorite animes- Soul Eater. Turning serious, I closed my eyes and mumbled the spell softly,
" Lassen Sie mich sehen, ich will reden, um die Person, die ich brauche."

Let me see, let me speak, to the person that I need. I opened my eyes as soon as I finished. A small gleam of golden and black light came up from the book, forming my friend- she wasn't really there, but it showed her, like a hologram. Like usual, she had a small frown on her lips that disappeared when she saw me.
"Hex," I cheered.

"Sena," she asked, "I guess it was you who was calling. What do you need?"
"Hex," I said slyly, "How do you feel about coming to Japan for a short visit?"
"Japan? Uh…sure, I guess. Be there in ten."
"Ten minutes by broom," I asked in disbelief.
"I have hyper-speed," she pointed out and then with a 'POP' she disappeared and the spell was over. I looked to Haschen,
"Looks like we'll see her soon! Yay!"

Hex is my best friend- I can't wait to see her. I mean, she's been my friend for a long time. It was her mother (Jinx) that found me in the forest all those years ago.

Nekozawa:
I felt rather foolish and shamed. I had felt that she did like me, and now I knew that she didn't. I felt so foolish for thinking that she could possibly like me. Most of all, I felt ashamed about what I did and even tried to do.I can only pray to the dark goddess that she will stay my friend. What I did was so uncharacteristic of me. I surprised myself, I believed. I hope that I didn't scare her off, even if she did say that she forgives me.

Either way, I couldn't help but wonder about her friend. A witch? Ah, so she's not a spell caster like Sena. She's a full witch- a real artist of the black arts. I suppose I like her already. I wondered through the park, it was night so I drew comfort from the night sky and the ever-so-creepy moon.

"NEKO!"
I turned and saw Sena- with a big smile plastered on her face and a purse in her hand that no doubt had that bunny (that I knew she had) in it. I supposed that she was surprised to see me. I didn't go to school today after all- I couldn't face or her anyone.

Next to her was a girl my age, I suppose that's Sena's friend then. She had fair skin that was covered in freckles and her eyes were a stunning beautiful shade of blue. Her blonde hair was so light that it was almost white and it was in a pixie cut and slightly messed. She had on a loose black hoodie and black shorts. She showed signs of having a slight figure and curves but it wasn't very noticeable. Still, I found myself drawn to her. She was the most beautiful person I had ever seen- more beautiful than even Sena…my previous crush.

"We've been looking all over for you," Sena giggled and hugged me, but my attention was on the other girl. Sena giggled again,
"This is Hex, well, her nickname is Hex. Her real name is-"
Hex…a suitable nickname for someone so…beautiful, exotic even. Hex looked annoyed as she placed a hand over Sena's mouth. Sena pouted.
"We agreed to never tell anyone my real name," Hex growled. Ah, she's a bit friskier and easily angered than Sena then.

Sena nodded and it was only then that Hex removed her hand. Hex looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I blushed slightly, realizing that I forgot my manners,
"Pardon, I'm Nekozawa Umehito, this is Beelzenef. I'm President of the Black Magic Club, " I smiled creepily as I held up Beelzenef. Yet, Hex didn't seem frightened, she looked intrigued,
"Black magic club," she muttered, "better than that dang Host club that Sena was telling me about."

Either way, Sena then pushed Hex into me and we stumbled onto the ground. I blushed slightly as she was on top of me, and I thought that I saw her blue eyes shine red for a brief moment when we looked into each other's eyes. Then she looked annoyed,

"SENA!"

Sena giggled,
"Have fun on your date! See ya later!"

She giggled and Hex got up to go chase after Sena but soon gave up as Sena disappeared with a 'POP.' Hex growled and I blinked,
"Date?"

Hex sighed.

Sena:
I got out of there pretty fast so Hex didn't curse at me (cursing foal words) or literally at me (with her magic). Hex would have been a perfect match for Neko- I knew it. She was more into black magic and pretty kick-butt. It was obvious to me that Nekozawa took an instant liking to her as well. I knew how I would, or wouldn't, know if Hex liked him. If she gets back and had told Nekozawa her real name- then I will know that she really does love him- love, not like, love.

That was where witches were different than spell casters. First- they had two names, their real name and their nickname. They only tell their real name to their closest, must trusts family members (which meant that Hex saw me as a sister) and even then the numbers that knew were few. They also told their real name to their loved one- their soul mate.

See, witches only fell in love once. Well, I mean, they do occasionally date but that's more for entertainment and boredom than it is for love. And they have flings and the word-I-can't-cay-because-I'm-viewed-as-innocent. However, when they found their soul mate (sometimes it was another witch, sometimes it was a spell caster, sometimes something else, sometimes a mere mortal), they didn't really have much control over it since what they did from there came naturally. I wasn't sure on details, but I knew that they it was their soul mate the second they looked into each other's eyes (and both of their eyes would shine red slightly for a brief moment). When Hex was on top of Nekozawa and looked into his eyes, I thought I saw them change red for a moment- as well as Nekozawa's eyes. It might have been my eyes though- so she'll tell me when she gets back. I hoped that Nekozawa accepted it though.

Sometimes, a witch's soul mate would reject them. It usually happened with humans and witches though. When that happened- the witch would grow depressed and normally, the witch dies of heartbreak (literally). But Nekozawa wasn't like most humans- he loved black magic. He more than likely wouldn't reject it. I just hoped that they didn't have that-word-I-can't-say-because-I'm-viewed-as-innocent.

I was glad that I found Nekozawa though. I didn't go to school- since Hex was with me and I didn't want to take her to school. So we spent the school hours at the café, the park, and a few other places. I also caught her up to date with what happened. My last check-in with her was around when sometimes last year since it was hard for me to concentrate long enough to do the spell, and I had no place to do the spell at where wondering eyes wouldn't see me.

We did do a brief visit after school ended to search for Nekozawa- but we couldn't find him. That's when we did our search for him that lasted a long time until we found him at the park. I looked up at the night sky, yeah it's definitely getting late. I can see the moon so clearly and the stars too.

"Sena?"
I turned to see Tetsuya. I smiled and waved. He looked a bit worried,
"What are you doing out so late, it's not safe?"

I smiled, aw, he's worried. Tetsuya sighed,
"Sena, you have to stop wondering around this late. It really isn't that safe," he glanced around and I got the brief sense that we were being watched, "…Sena, you have to go- now."
His expression turned serious and I wondered what was going on. I looked at him curiously,
"Tetsuya, what's wrong?"
"Sena…you have to go, now!"
He turned his serious expression onto me. I looked at him a bit shocked, but I wasn't going to back down. Something was happening here. I knew how to defend myself (Hunny and Mori have been teaching me) and I have my magic if all else fails. But I will not leave Tetsuya when I knew something bad was happening. Tetsuya continued to give me a hard look until he suddenly stood close to me and whispered,

"The Syndicate…they want me back. I know they're here and I just don't want you getting hurt..."

I giggled,
"I'll be okay, Tetsuya. I promise," I made a small 'x' over my heart and he sighed.

"Sena…please…"
I frowned slightly and put my hand on his shoulder,
"Tetsuya, I told you- I will be okay. I promised. But I am not going to leave you alone to deal with this."

Tetsuya still didn't seem to sure- but he couldn't say anything more since it was at that moment that the goons showed up. Yeah, they're defiantly goons. I recognize two of them from before. Ah, there's a lot of guys though- maybe about…six? Eight? Not sure. Hence why at the moment they are all Goon 1, Goon 2, etc.

"So this is the real reason you abandoned us, young lord," Goon 1 said with narrowed eyes.
Tetsuya looked momentarily confused before the thug continued,
"You left us to be with your girl!"
Tetsuya blushed slightly and so did I. He thinks Tetsuya and I are together…Gosh, I wish.

"Maybe if we get rid of the girl then the young lord will come with us," Goon 3 suggested.

I narrowed my eyes and I was surprised when Tetsuya stood in front of me slightly in a protective manner.
"You will not hurt her," he growled.

One guy got behind us and he put his hand on my shoulder. I winced and in a second, I grabbed his hand and flung him over my shoulder and into another guy- a trick learned by Hunny and Mori. Tetsuya looked at me surprised and I giggled,

"I told you, I can protect myself!"

Hex:

What are the odds that the guy Sena hooks me up with- at the last second since she didn't tell me who he was- is…my soul mate. Though, I can see why he is my soul mate. He's…amazing. He's creepy, shy, a bit clumsy, and all around- a pretty cool guy. Even if what he did to Sena was wrong- yeah she did tell me about that. She tells me everything and when I got to Japan she caught me up with everything that happened. I wonder if she'll get with that Tetsuya guy she was talking about it. She likes him- she told me so anyway.

I looked to Nekozawa as he started to place an ingredient in the potion. We decided that if we were on a 'date' then we should do something we both love- making potions and using black magic. We were at the Ouran school that him and Sena went to. I didn't like the pink and I wasn't even sure how Nekozawa got in since it was way after school hours. It was then that he led me to the room that the Black Magic Club took place in.

I grabbed his arm,

"Na-uh," I tsk'ed and he looked at me confused. I grabbed his hand and took out the small piece of ivory to replace it with vine. I nodded and then he dropped it in it. The potion then turned to a blue color and we both smiled at the success. I scowled momentarily for a minute, geesh, I think Sena's enthusiasm wears off on me. She's making me soft.

Then we started with the second part of the potion. However we both ended up trying up on each other since I was reaching for something behind him and he was reaching for something behind me. We landed on the floor with a THUD. This hurts less than I thought it would…then I realized that it didn't hurt because I had landed on something soft- Nekozawa.

I wasn't sure how long we stayed there with me looking a bit dazed into his eyes. His face was flushed and red. Then I realized he was just too cute…I locked my lips onto his.

Sena:
I wiped the imaginary dust off myself as I smiled at Tetsuya. The guys were gone- after Tetsuya and I brought most of them down they decided to leave. Tetsuya also told them that if they left- and didn't hurt me- that he would go for a brief meeting with his father. I didn't like that part- which is why I plan on going invisible and spying on him- hehe.

"I'm glad you're okay," Tetsuya said as he hugged me tightly. I was partly surprised at it.

Then again, he did look worried since one of those thugs had managed to get a pretty good hit in. One guy managed to get me with his knife a bit. Tetsuya was a bit rougher- he had a black eye. If I was in the right of mind and was able to concentrate, I would've done a few charms to protect me and Tetsuya from harm. It didn't work though since as said- I didn't think of it in time and I wasn't able to concentrate long enough.

Tetsuya and I stood there a long time while he was hugging me tightly.
"I promised I would be okay," I reminded him but that only made me hug me tighter,
"I thought they would hurt you, Sena. I didn't want to lose you."

I tensed. What…what does he mean by that?

"I mean, Sena, that I care about you."

I blushed slightly, I didn't mean to say that out loud. Tetsuya let me go slightly and put his hands on my shoulders as he stared into my eyes,
"Sena…I like you, I really like you. I just….."

I looked away shyly. I guessed that he didn't notice my blush because he looked away,
"I understand if you don't feel the same."
Taking a chance, as he walked away, I grabbed his arm and pulled him back into a kiss.

"Oh la la," I heard Haschen say from the purse as her little head popped up.

Tetsuya jumped,
"Who said that?"

I giggled,
"It's nothing…I'll tell you later."
I glared slightly at the bunny- who then 'eep'ed' and ducked back into the purse. Tetsuya looked me with a blush,
"…So does this mean that you…"
"Feel the same," I giggled, "Yeah, yeah it does."

On the way to the apartment, we ran into Ritsu- who wanted to take me to the Kasanoda home. Apparently, his father heard about 'a blue haired girl' and Tetsuya beating the rival syndicate and he wanted to meet me (and thank Tetsuya). Though Ritsu was surprised to see us holding hands- but the surprise look quickly turned into a small smile. Honestly, do I even want to meet the leader of a Japanese mafia? But if he looks like the Godfather or even talks like the Godfather or does anything Godfather related I will laugh.

So there we were, standing in front of the leader of the Kasanoda Syndicate…who was smaller than I thought he would be. We all bowed respectfully to him.

"Ah, I thank you, Tetsuya. Taking down members of a rival Syndicate, and quite the amount from what I've heard, is no easy task."
"I couldn't do it without Sena's help."
He turned look at me and honestly- I didn't know the little man could be so intimidating.

"Sena," he said, "You helped as well?"
"Yes," I answered, "It was simple since I took some lessons from Morinozuka-kun and his little cousin," I giggled.

"I heard about you from my son," he said, nearly ignoring what I said about taking lessons. I think he's just curious about me- I mean, I do have blue hair.

"You have," I asked a bit shocked.
"Yes, and from Tetsuya as well. You are a magician, are you not?"
I smiled brightly,

"Yep."

He nodded. I noticed that other members of the mafia were in the room and watching me closely. I didn't like it- but couldn't say anything about it really.

When we got to my apartment- as Tetsuya and Ritsu were walking me back after our visit with Ritsu's father. I giggled at their faces- they were still shocked.

"I still can't believe it," Tetsuya muttered.
"What? That his father actually likes me? That I got his dad to laugh? That his father found it cute that I was dating Tetsuya" I giggled as I listed the things that happened, "That his father loved my magic tricks?"

"All of that," Tetsuya muttered and Ritsu nodded in agreement. I laughed,

"I'm not that bad!"
"Exactly," Ritsu pointed out, "You're cheery, you're upbeat, you're girly and giggly. Which was why I was so shocked that my father took a liking to you."

I pouted and then shrugged,

"I'm just likable."

I waved goodbye to them as I walked inside my apartment to find Hex banging her head angrily against the wall.
"I. Kissed. Him. Why!?"

I raised an eyebrow and giggled. She turned to me with a slightly angry expression,
"Where have you been!? I've been back for like, four hours now, and it's what, one in the morning?"

My eyes widened, it's that late (or that early depending on how I look at it. I gave a sheepish smile,
"Opps?"

She sighed,
"What happened? Where have you been?"
"I was with my boyfriend," I giggled and rolled back and forth on my heels. She whipped her head to look at me and growled,

"Who is it and do I have to kick any ass?"

Geesh her and her language. I giggled,

"Nope! He's nice to me. It's Tetsuya Sendo."

Her eyes widened and then she hugged me,

"That guy you were going on and on about! Way to go girl!"
I laughed and then she let me go. I giggled,

"And…how was your date with Nekozawa?"
"….Ah, let's see," she listed off, "I kissed him, we're officially dating now."
"I knew it," I cheered as I hugged her tightly, "I knew you two were perfect for each other! Did you tell him your real name?"
"Yeah," she rubbed her sides where I hugged her, "and he didn't laugh so that's a plus."

Then Haschen appeared as she jumped out my purse,

"Finally! It was getting stuffy in there."
She hopped into my arms. I petted her as I continued talking with Hex,
"Why would he laugh?"
She crossed her arms,
"My name."
"But it's pretty."
"No it's not."
I pouted. I thought Hazel was a pretty name.

"Anyway," Hex said as she plopped down on a chair with a bag of chips, "I'm gonna crash and burn. You should too…afterall, isn't your magic performance at the ball tomorrow?"
My eyes widened. She sighed,

"You forgot."
"….pfffft…no?"
