-Cecelia-

I sighed as I stared at my reflection in the mirror before pulling on a pair of black ball shorts and a gray tank top. It was hard to believe it's been eight years since that day. I sighed again and walked back into my room. I was slightly curious as to when Raiden would 'claim his prize' to heard Kenta tell it, but I wasn't all that worried about it, I had other things on my mind. Today would be the last day they saw me, but I wasn't going to stop doing what I've been doing for eight years just because I've got company from another dimension. I sighed again before heading downstairs. Daiki and Hikaru were the only ones in the kitchen, but from the sounds from the T.V in the living room I could guess where Kenta and Kouhai were. I could feel Katsume's aura from his room and I hadn't seen Raiden since last night at dinner.

"Morning Celia."

Daiki said and I nodded to him before starting on everyone's breakfast. When I was done I grabbed a few pieces of french toast for myself and heading into the den that was off to the side of the house. I walked over to the bookcase against the wall and scanned the many titles until I found the one I was looking for. I pulled out a leather bound book and blew the dust from the cover. I smiled down at it sadly. I finished the last piece of french toast and wiped my hand on my shorts before reaching up and running my fingers along the engraved title of the book I held in my hands.

'The Twin Sisters of Galendreya.'

I thought to myself and smiled as I remembered the trouble I'd gone through to get this book. It had cost me half my allowance and took about a year to get this specific copy, but the look on her face when she'd opened her present on her birthday was well worth it. She'd asked me to read it to her constantly and because of that I'd memorized it word for word by the time we were five.

I tucked the book under my arm before walking back into the kitchen. I could feel Daiki and the others looking at me, but ignored them and walked back up the stairs and shut my door after me. I climbed onto my bed, pulled my knees up to my chest and started to read. I was halfway through the fifth chapter when there was a knock at my door. I could feel Hikaru's aura and sighed.

"Come in Hika."

I called and heard the door open and close before feeling the bed at my feet dip down as he sat on it. I looked up at him to see him staring at me with worry filled yellow eyes.

"I'm fine Hika."

I said before he could say anything.

"Are you sure? Because you're acting really weird."

He said and I smiled to myself before marking my page and closing the book.

"I'm fine. It's just something's coming up soon."

I said and he looked at me confused.

"What's coming up? The Blood Moon isn't until October right?"

He asked and I frowned as I remembered that when the Blood Moon came around they'd all be leaving.

"Nothing, and yes the Blood Moon isn't until October."

I said with a barely audiable sigh.

"Are you sure you're alright?"

He asked and I nodded. We fell into a somewhat awkard, yet surprisingly comfortable silence.

"What's coming up other than the Blood Moon?"

He asked and I frowned.

"It's nothing Hika, just don't freak out if I suddenly disappear.

I said and he frowned at me confused before smiling.

"You want to play Smash Brothers with me, Kenta, and Kouhai?"

He asked and I laughed at how childish he could be. Sometimes it annoyed me that he acted so child-like, but right now I didn't mind so much.

"Sure."

I said before following him out of my room and down the stairs. Today was the last day they'd see me so I could enjoy myself. They'd freak out when I disappeared anyway, but I wasn't going to tell them where I was going. No one else knew, and I was going to keep it that way.

-Daiki-

I had sent Hikaru up to check on Celia because of how she was acting. When he came down stairs with a smiling Celia behind him I guess he cheered her up, but I couldn't help but feel like she was hiding something from us. I watched as she moved to sit between Kenta and Kouhai as they all started up Smash Brothers and started to play. She was smiling and laughing like usual, but something about her was different.

"You sense it too?"

I turned to see Katsume leaning in the doorway of the kitchen and nodded.

"She's hidding something."

I said and he hn'd in response.

"She has every right to keep things to herself. Just because she considers the six of us to be her friends doesn't mean she has to tell us everything about herself."

I looked over to my right slightly surprised and saw Raiden standing there with his arms crossed over his chest and looking right at Celia.

"I know, but still."

I said and the three of us fell into silence.

"If she wants us to know, she'll tell us. If not, then we can't really do anything about it."

He said before moving and going to sit at the end of the couch and started to read again. I sighed before walking into the living room and sitting on the opposite end of the couch. As much as I hate to admit it, he was right. If Celia wanted to tell us she would, if not, then she wouldn't.

-Katsume-

I frowned as I watched Cecelia interact with Hikaru and the others like any other day, but I could tell that something was off about her. Her smile wasn't quite as bright, her laugh wasn't quite as musical, and her eyes didn't seem quite so full of life. I didn't like it. I didn't like it one bit. Suddenly her phone started to ring and she paused the game and answered it.

"Hello?"

She asked into the reciever as she leaned against the side of the wall.

"Oh hey Mia. Yeah it is getting close to that day."

She said and I looked at her confused. What day?

"You know I will. No I won't tell you where I go, you know I prefer to grieve by myself."

Cecelia said and my brows furrowed in confusion.

'Grieve? What does she have to grieve about?'

I wondered confused as I listened to the rest of her conversation.

"I know, but it's still something I prefer to do by myself. Thanks, alright, bye."

Celia said before shutting her phone and starting to head back towards the T.V only to stop when her phone rang again. She had a similar conversation as before with someone named Tami, then again with the guy named Naka before she finally joined Kenta and the others again. I frowned at her as she played the game with them as if nothing was wrong. What day was close? Where did she plan on going? And what did she have to grieve about? I frowned even more as I realized I had no answer for any of those questions, but that didn't stop me from wondering.

'Damn human woman.'

I thought before heading for my room again.

-Cecelia-

It was the same as every time it got close to that day. Mia would call first, then Tami, then Naka, all asking if I was vanishing again, if I'd tell them where I was going, and if I was going to be alright. Where I was going was a secret spot that only me and one other person knew about, and that one person was no longer here. I glanced at the clock and sighed to myself before going into the kitchen to cook dinner. Tomorrow I'd spend the day with my parents, then once it hits midnight I'd be leaving. I called the boys in for dinner and I noticed it was quieter than usual and frowned.

"What? No one has anything to talk about?"

I asked and noticed that none of the boys would meet my eyes, not even Hikaru. I sighed and put my fork down.

"Look guys, there's nothing wrong alright? I'll be leaving tomorrow to spend the day with my parents, after that..."

I said trailing off and looking down at my plate of spaghetti.

"After that I've got something I need to do. You'll see me when I come home."

I said and picked up my fork and started to eat again.

"What do you mean we'll see you when you come home?"

Daiki asked, but I ignored him. They'd learn eventually.

"Celia?"

He prompted, but still I ignored him.

"Answer him woman."

Katsume snapped and I glared at him. I hadn't really talked to him since he'd found me in the forest during that thunderstorm, but I hadn't expected him to sound so annoyed with me.

"I don't have to tell any of you shit. Especially not if you're going to talk to me like that."

I said standing up and pushing my chair back.

"Celia..."

Kenta started to say, but stopped when I turned to look at him.

"You do have to answer us because some of us wonder about your behavior lately."

Katsume said and I turned my eyes back to him and glared into his golden eyes.

"Yeah? Well why do any of you even give a damn? You're all going to leave in October any way so there's no real point for any of you to get attached!"

I snapped before all but throwing my plate on the counter next to the sink and storming out of the room. None of them said anything or followed me, but I still locked my door after having shut it after me. I hadn't meant to say what I did. Sure that's how I felt, but I didn't want to make any of them feel bad about leaving and that wasn't even the real reason I was upset, but I wasn't going to tell them why I was.

About an hour later I went back downstairs to see them all in the living room. Hikaru, Kenta, and Kouhai were all sitting in the floor infront of the T.V, but none of them were watching it. Katsume, Daiki, and Raiden were all sitting on the couch. Raiden had a book on his lap, but I could tell he wasn't really reading it. There was an awkward atmosphere in the living room and I sighed knowing I had been the one to cause it. I took a deep breath before clearing my throat to get everyone's attention. They all turned to look at me simultaneously and I resisted the urge to flinch at the pained looks in all of their eyes, even Raiden and Katsume seemed to be upset.

"Um...about what I said earlier..."

I said as I started to play with the hem of my shirt.

"Celia look, we're so-"

Daiki started, but I cut him off.

"No, I shouldn't have said what I did. I was upset about something else and I took it out on you guys. I'm sorry."

I said quickly and waited for one of them to say something.

"What were you upset about Celia?"

Kenta asked and I tensed. I was hoping I wouldn't have to answer that.

"Um...it's nothing really, just a family matter."

I said, trying to avoid telling the truth. I could tell they didn't buy it, but thankfully they didn't prod any further.

"Um...I'm gonna go to bed. I'll see you guys in the morning."

I said before turning and heading up the stairs.

"Celia wait."

I heard Kenta say and turned to see him at the foot of the stairs.

"We're really sorry if we upset you in some way."

He said and I sighed before smiling at him.

"It's not you guys, really it's not. Sure I'll be sad when you guys leave, but none of you have a reason to stay here. I'm upset about something else, it's not any of you guys' fault."

I said and he nodded slowly. I walked down the steps until I got to the one he was on and wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him.

"Thanks anyway."

I said before stepping back and going up the steps. It was kinda nice to know they were all worried about me, but nothing they did could make me feel better about what happened that day.
