SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 19 out, this is Chapter 20 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review other than just simply putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?
Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot and pairing.
Chapter 20: A World Astir
So this is the Room of Portraits. Yukio mused, standing in the middle of the room where the numerous portraits were hung up on the wall. With these portraits, it's hard to understand which one of them is the problem.
"I didn't take you for the artistic type." Ami joked.
"How was your mission?" Yukio turned to her.
"And what are you doing now?" Ami inquired.
"We were requested to exorcise the 'Seven Mysteries' of the school." Yukio replied. "One of them was a bit weird, so I came to investigate. They say that 'in one of the portraits, you can see your dead face.' but the information coming from the students is inconsistent."
"The rumors I heard about this say 'there's a portrait that has a different face depending on who looks at it.'" Ami frowned. "It should be that one." she pointed to a girl's portrait in front of her. "Apparently, it's supposed to show the darkness inside people's hearts. What does it look like to you?"
"It looks like a normal beautiful girl." Yukio replied. "To you?"
"That's a secret." Ami winked teasingly. "Anyways, I'm here to summon you to appear in Vatican. Tomorrow, there will be an emergency meeting about measures against high levels. You will be asked to talk about Todo Saburota."
"Todo...!" Yukio exclaimed. "Did they find him?"
"No, but the issue got worse." Ami sighed. "I'll come and get you at the dorm at 7am. You'll find the details in the Vatican papers I'll give you tomorrow. By the way, did you go to the checkup?"
"Yes, I went yesterday." Yukio assured. "There wasn't anything wrong."
"You know it's hard for me to get mad at you when you lie straight in my face with an expression like that." Ami chided. "Haven't we agreed that there would be no lies between us?"
"I'm sorry?" Yukio blinked. How did she know? "Wow..." he muttered when Ami pulled him close for a kiss.
"We're Soul-Bonded, idiot." Ami scolded. "So, from now on, no more lying, no more secrets."
SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
