-Cecelia-

I woke up and couldn't help but smile at the ceiling in my new room. Last night had been the first night in my new house. I still couldn't believe it, but I was extremely grateful to Raiden and all of them. I'd have to repay them somehow, but for now I'd just feed them and let them stay in the house until they found a way back to their dimension. I went to my closet and pulled on a pair of khaki pants that ruffled at my ankles since they were slightly too long, but I didn't care they were comfy. I pulled on a gray spaghetti tank top before walking out of my room and heading downstairs to the kitchen. This house was laid out almost exactly like the shrine my family owned, though it was slightly smaller in size it was still perfect in my eyes. I walked into the kitchen and smiled when I saw Hikaru, Kouhai, and Kenta already in the living room floor infront of the T.V playing a video game. Katsume was still up in his room like usual. I'd forgiven him for kissing me when he and Hikaru managed to catch Daiki for me.

"Morning guys."

I said with a smile as I walked over to the fridge. Not only had they gotten me my dream house, but they'd also made sure it was fully furnished and stocked with food and clothes. It was literally ready to move in and they'd already picked their own rooms. I had a room on the top floor at the end of the hall while they had rooms on the floor below mine and the base floor. There were four bathrooms, a dining room, a kitchen, the living room, a library on the second floor, a dojo-like room which I think they put in just for me though I still went to Algo's, and an arts and crafts room that Kenta seemed to spend all his time in and a den. The house was perfect.

"Morning Celia!"

Kou, and Ken said in unison at the same time that Hikaru had said 'Morning Cece'. I smiled as I started breakfast. I heard someone come down the stairs and turned to see Daiki walk into the kitchen. When he saw me he flinched, but kept walking. I'd made sure he knew not to call me short again, although I didn't leave any marks on him since he was a demon and healed really quickly I didn't hold anything back when I'd attacked him once Hikaru and Katsume brought him back to me.

"Morning Shadow."

I said with a bright smile and he eyed me warily as he sat at the island in the kitchen.

"Morning."

He said warily and my smile widened.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to attack you so long as you don't call me short."

I said and he nodded, but still kept his eye on me. I rolled my eyes at him and went back to making breakfast for everyone. I set it on the island and called the boys in from the living room and they quickly crowded around the island and started eating. I smiled and slipped out of the room after having made two plates and headed up the stairs. I stopped by Katsume's room first. I knocked and waited for him to tell me to come in before opening the door. His room here was just like the one at my family's shrine, and just like usual he was sitting in the middle of the room in a meditative position.

"Morning Katsu."

I said and smiled to myself when his golden eyes snapped open in shock at the nickname. Ever since last night I've been calling him that and every time I get the same reaction out of him.

"Morning Cecelia."

He said slowly and I smiled to myself at the fact he'd stopped calling me 'human'.

"I brought breakfast."

I said holding up his plate of bacon, sausage, and toast. No eggs since I remember him saying he didn't eat them.

"Thank you."

He said as I set it down on the floor next to him and I froze a second before smiling at him and leaving him to himself. It was rare that he actually thanked me for something, but it was nice to hear. I made my way up to the second floor and walked towards the library knowing that was where I'd find Raiden. I swear, that boy loves books more than my Tami loves to shop. And that's a lot.

I knocked on the door before pushing it open. I looked around the library, but didn't see my purple haired friend anywhere. I frowned until I heard something from the second level and walked up the steps and down two rows of shelves until I found him. I couldn't help but giggle at what I saw. Raiden was surrounded by about thirty books, but one had landed on his head. When he heard me his head turned and the book slid off his head to the floor making me laugh that much harder.

"Something amusing?"

He asked and I laughed a bit more before finally getting myself under control.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you."

I said as I walked over to him.

"Why are you here?"

He asked as he turned to one of the many books and picked it up.

"I brought you breakfast."

I said with a smile and he turned to look at me and I noticed a light blush covered his pale skin as he took the plate of eggs, sausage, and bacon from me.

"T-Thanks."

He said quietly and I smiled at him before looking around at the books scattered on the floor around him.

"What exactly are you looking for that has you reading all the time?"

I asked as I crossed my hands over my knees as I squat down infront of him. He blinked before looking away.

"I'm trying to figure out when the veil between this world and ours is the thinnest."

He said and I looked up at him to see him munching on a piece of bacon.

"Can I ask why?"

I asked as I picked up a book about childhood folk tales.

"The magic in your dimension isn't as easy to manipulate as it is in our dimension, which is why I haven't been able to transport us all home. I found out, that there is a point when the veil between our worlds thins and if I try the spell then then I'll be able to get us all home."

He said and I froze. To be honest I didn't really want them to leave, but they didn't belong here and I wasn't going to ask them to stay. They'd have no reason to, but that didn't mean I didn't want them to stay.

"Oh."

I said simply as I put the book back on the shelf.

"You've been looking in the wrong places."

I said as I scanned the titles of the books littering the floor. They ranged from child fairy tails to old folk legends about ghouls and ghosts.

"What makes you say that?"

He asked and I looked up at him to see he'd already finished his breakfast and smiled slightly.

"Well, I remember having read something a while back about how the phases of the moon have certain effects on things. Like nature and other not so easily explained things."

I said as I picked up most of the books and stood to put them back in their rightful places, but as I did so they flew out of my hands and automatically went back to their places. I turned to stare at Raiden and saw a small smile on his face which made my face heat up before I looked away.

"What do you mean?"

He asked and I scanned the shelves trying to see if I could find that book while I explained.

"Well, the moon effects nature, like the tides of the ocean. But it also effects other things, like werewolves. They change on the nights of the full moon."

I said and walked back towards Raiden, still looking at the rows of books scanning for a certain one.

"What do you mean nights of the full moon?"

He asked and I turned to look at him for a minute.

"You're friends with a werewolf and you don't even know that they change on the night before a full moon, the night of a full moon, and the night after a full moon?"

I asked and he blinked before I saw a his jaw clench.

"I knew that, but I was surprised you did."

He said and I shrugged him off before turning back to the shelf full of books.

"The full moon also effects normal wolves, it makes them more territorial and prone to attack humans if they're unlucky enough to get close to a pack of them."

I said and walked around Raiden to go through the rest of the shelf of books.

"How do you know all that?"

Raiden asked and I could hear the shock and awe in his voice and turned to look at him to see he was standing now.

"I'm a major wolf nut remember?"

I asked with a smile before going back to scanning the shelves.

"But even when the moon isn't full it still effects things. Like how the Harvest Moon often effects vampires. It effects their level of control on their bloodlust."

I said and could feel Raiden staring at me in shock, but I ignored him as I continued to look through the rows of books until I saw the title of the one I was looking for. Sadly, it was several feet up. I sighed and walked over to get the ladder and pushed it to where I needed.

"But the one I think you should be focused on…."

I said as I climbed the ladder up to the tenth row on the bookcase and pulled out the book I'd been searching for.

"Is the Blood Moon."

I said with a smile as I clutched the book in my hand and started to descend the ladder only to have my foot slip and start to fall. My smile fell and I tried to grab onto the ladder, but I fell back anyway and screamed as I fell through the air. I closed my eyes and waited for the feel of the wood beneath me, but it never came. Instead I felt strong arms wrap around me and opened my eyes to stare up into the lilac colored eyes of Raiden. I looked down to see he'd caught me mid-air and he slowly lowered us both to the floor.

"How did you….?"

I asked with wide eyes as I clutched his cloak tightly in my free hand.

"I am a wizard Celia."

He said and I blushed at hearing him say my name for the first time.

"Are you alright?"

He asked softly and I looked back up at his face to see concern in his eyes and felt my face heat up even more and quickly lowered my head so my bangs hid my eyes.

"Y-yeah. Thanks."

I said softly as he set me back on my feet.

"You sure?"

He asked, his arm still around my waist to make sure I could stand on my own and I just nodded.

-Raiden-

I was completely shocked at the fact that Celia knew so much about creatures of different worlds and what effected them. I listened to her as she explained about the Shedding Moon and how it effected werewolves like Kouhai, then how it also effected wolves like Hikaru. Then as she explained the Hunter's Moon and how it effected vampires like Kenta, but the main thing that caught my attention was when she'd said the thing I was probably looking for was something called the Blood Moon, but instead of an explanation on that one I heard her scream and looked up to see her falling through the air. I felt as if my heart stopped for a full second before I realized if I didn't do something she'd get hurt. I used a simple levitation spell and caught her in mid-air. She opened her eyes and stared up into mine. She looked down as I slowly lowered us back to the ground.

"How did you….?"

She asked with wide eyes and I noticed she clutched my cloak tightly with her free hand.

"I am a wizard Celia."

I said and I noticed she blushed.

"Are you alright?"

I asked softly and she looked back up at me and her blush darkened before she lowered her head so her bangs hid most of her face.

"Y-yeah. Thanks."

She said softly as I set her back on her feet.

"You sure?"

I asked with my arm still around her waist to make sure she could stand on her own. I wanted to make sure she wasn't harmed. She just nodded and I sighed in relief.

"That's good."

I said and noticed she had a book clutched tightly in her hand and reached down to get it. I noticed she jumped when our fingers brushed and I looked down at her face to see it was a bright red and I couldn't help but smile.

"What makes you think the Blood Moon is the thing I've been looking for?"

I asked, trying to get her to say something. She hesitated a moment, but eventually she slowly lifted her head and looked at me.

"Because, you said you needed a time when the veil between this world and your world is the thinnest right?"

She asked and I nodded not really understanding.

"Well…"

She said as she opened the book I held in my hands and flipped through the pages until she found the page she was looking for.

"Right here."

She said and I looked down to see her pointing at a specific passage and I quickly read through it and found she was right.

'The Blood Moon: The first full moon after the Harvest Moon, when vampires go out on their hunt for blood, is also known as the Blood Moon. The Blood Moon has special properties of its own. This is the time when the veil between our world and other worlds is the thinnest. It is at this time that all spiritual or supernatural beings feel a surge of power. The Blood Moon is also known as the Shedding Moon, the Falling Leaf Moon, and the Hunter's Moon. It-'

I stopped reading and looked up at Celia in shock. This was exactly what I'd been looking for and this whole time I could have simply just asked her.

"T-This is it!"

I said excitedly and she smiled at me before blushing again and for some reason I liked the fact that she was blushing because of me. I just realized how beautiful of a human she was. With her black hair cascading down to her waist framing her face, her slim waist, but I knew she was strong since I'd personally seen her kick Katsume through her living room window. She was intelligent and witty, but she was also sweet and caring. I blushed as I realized that I actually had feelings for her and I hadn't even realized until just now.

"Celia!"

Daiki's voice boomed from the door of the library making both of us jump and turn towards the door to see him, Hikaru, Katsume, Kouhai, and Kenta all in the doorway. When they saw we were on the second floor they were by her side in an instant.

"Are you okay? We heard you scream."

Daiki said and I noticed he glared at me as if I had been the one who made her scream.

"I'm fine. I just fell from the ladder."

She said and they all looked at her in shock before all asking if she was okay.

"I'm fine. Rai caught me before I could hurt myself."

She said and all eyes turned to look at me and I felt my face heat up just a bit at the heated glares from Daiki, Hikaru, and Katsume and the shocked looks from Kenta and Kouhai.

"I guess its okay since you're not hurt."

Daiki said getting everyone's attention again.

"Were you guys really that worried about me?"

Celia asked and we all looked at her shocked.

"Of course we were!"

Hikaru shouted and Celia looked at him before blushing.

"I'm sorry."

She said softly and I heard Daiki sigh.

"It's fine, but be more careful next time."

He said and she nodded before smiling up at everyone.

"Oh!"

She said suddenly.

"Rai and I found something that can help you guys get back to your dimension."

She said and everyone looked from her then to me in shock.

"Really?"

Kenta asked and I nodded.

"Yes. It appears that on the night of the Blood Moon the veil between our world and this world will be thin enough for me to be able to transport us all back."

I said and they all looked at me in shock.

"We can go home?"

Kouhai asked and I nodded. I glanced at Celia who had suddenly gotten really quiet and noticed the sad look in her eyes, but when she saw I was looking at her she quickly smiled at me and the look disappeared, but I knew I'd seen it.

"When is the Blood Moon!?"

Hikaru asked excitedly and I looked from Celia to him and the others.

"It's the first moon after the Harvest Moon."

I said, but at their confused expressions I knew they didn't know when that was. All we knew was that when it got close to the Harvest Moon the weather was colder.

"It's in October."

Celia suddenly said and everyone turned to look at her confused.

"Oct…ober?"

Daiki tested the word and Celia smiled at him, but I could still see a bit of the sadness from before in her eyes, but she hid it well.

"Yeah. Right now it's August, but in two months it'll be October."

She said as she walked over to the calendar hanging on the wall by the window.

"See?"

She asked and we all crowded around her to look at the calendar as she showed us.

"That's not too far away!"

Kouhai said with a smile.

"We'll be able to go home!"

Kenta said and I saw Celia frown and look away from everyone's smiling faces.

'Does she not want us to leave?'

I wondered, before Katsume got my attention.

"So when the first full moon in October gets here, we'll be able to go back?"

He asked and I nodded.

"Yes."

I said and he nodded before everyone started talking amongst themselves. I looked around for Celia, but noticed she'd disappeared. Kenta and Kouhai wrapped their arms around my shoulder as they cheered about being able to go home, even Hikaru, Daiki, and Katsume seemed happy. But I couldn't get the look of Celia's sad face out of my mind. What was she going to do when we were all gone?
