SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 2 out, this is Chapter 3 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review or just simply put this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot and pairing.

Chapter 3: A Day When Nothing Happens

"You paged?" Yukio entered the infirmary.

"I've got your results." Ami told him. "And I've good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"Let's just get this over with." Yukio sighed.

"Fine, the bad news first." Ami remarked. "To put it plainly, like your brother, you've inherited Satan's powers too. Let me finish." she raised a hand when she saw Yukio gape at her. "The good news, those powers remain dormant, for now anyway. That mark on your arm is a gauge, the moment it spreads to your entire arm, your demonic powers will fully awaken."

"Are you... certain?" Yukio stammered.

"Do you doubt me?" Ami questioned.

"Of you, my dearest Herbalist, never." Yukio chuckled. "It's just..."

"It's quite a bitter pill to swallow, isn't it?" Ami finished his sentence. "Now you know how I felt when I found out about my own lineage."

"Lineage?" Yukio blinked.

"Forget I said anything." Ami dodged the question.

"One thing's for sure," Ami burst out laughing when Yukio related to her what his class was doing to prepare for Kamiki's birthday. "Your students have no idea how to keep secrets."

"To be honest, subtlety isn't one of their strong points." Yukio admitted. "But it's quite fun watching them dodge Kamiki." he quirked a smirk.

"Nope," Ami rested the back of her hand on Yukio's forehead. "No fever."

"Very funny." Yukio muttered.

"You're working hard." Yukio noted, stepping into the Exorcist Supplies Store.

"Yuki." Shiemi gaped.

"I got the message this morning that the herbs I ordered have arrived." Yukio stated.

"Right away." Shiemi headed over to the supply drawer. "True Cross Academy, Faculty of Pharma..."

"This time it's my personal order." Yukio supplied.

"That's unusual." Shiemi noted.

"I heard about the party." Yukio remarked, seeing the paper link laid out on the table. "It was your idea, wasn't it? I'm sure Kamiki will be happy."

"I'm doing it partially for my own sake." Shiemi admitted. "Granny and Mom celebrated my birthday, but this will be the first time I celebrate it with friends. I've made friends since I started the cram school, so I thought we could all celebrate it together. it's selfish, isn't it?"

"I think it's wonderful." Yukio corrected.

"By the way, when is your and Rin's birthday?" Shiemi asked, packing the package.

"It's on December 27th." Yukio replied.

"Have you ever had a birthday party?" Shiemi wondered.

"Well... more or less." Yukio replied. "It's so close to Christmas, we always celebrated the two together at the monastery. But it never had this birthday feeling, not until she came along..."

"It's Himura-san, isn't it?" Shiemi whispered. "Yuki, you like her."

"I do." Yukio admitted with a gentle smile. "Although it's merely one-sided. I hope the party will be a success."

"Yeah." Shiemi nodded. "You should come too, Yuki. It'll be fun."

SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
