CHAPTER 01 : THE CRIMSON TYRANT PART 13 (FINAL PART)

:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3

Somewhere deep inside a cave, a mysterious figure was gazing in his hand a dark heart shaped crystal with a small glob of dark ink within the center. All of a sudden, the dark liquid magically evaporated, and the crystal suddenly shattered into dust.

The figure stared at the remains of the artifact and said, "So… those three are here in this world."

He then closed his hand in tight fist as he growled out angrily, "How infuriating!"

Behind him a cluster of ice blue like crystal gave a slight shimmering glow.

:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3

NORMAL POV

"RIDDLE!"

"NEESAN… PLEASE WAKE UP!"

Riddle Rosehearts eyes widened instantly while giving a small gasp.

"Hey! His eyes opened!" Cater gasped out, he then gave a small sigh of relief as he muttered, "For real, we were agonizing over whether you'd wake up or not…."

Though a bit groggy, he could see he was surrounded by Trey, Cater, Ace, Deuce, Grim. He then slowly turned his head to the side to see lying next to him was an unconscious Himari. Her 2 sisters and the Headmaster Crowley were next to her trying to wake her up and looking very worried.

Suddenly Himari's eyes fluttered open as she slowly sat up.

"NEESAN!" "HIMA-NEE!" Both Tsukiko and Hoshiko cried out in relief and joy as they hugged their elder sister. Ace, Deuce and Grim also got closer as they saw her awake.

Himari blinked and looked at everyone before muttering…" Oh… hey guys…."

"HEY GUYS!?" Ace cried out looking both relieved and angry at the same time, "THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY AFTER MAKING ME-….. I MEAN US WORRY ABOUT YOU LIKE THAT?!"

Himari blinked looking surprised at Ace's sudden outburst, she then looked at her two sisters who were hugging her, Tsukiko crying while Hoshiko just happy that she was ok. She patted both sisters on the head and gave an apologetic smile saying, "Sorry for making you girls worry."

Tsukiko then raised her head and looked at her sister while trying to put on a brave face and cried out, "PLEASE DON'T SCARE US LIKE THAT AGAIN SISTER! IF ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN TO YOU WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE….." She then grew silent again and more tears began to flow down on her face.

Himari sighed and continued to comfort her sisters. She then noticed that she was no longer wearing that golden armor and was back in her regular uniform. "Wow…" She thought, "It felt so surreal….". She turned to look at Riddle who was slowly being helped up by Trey. "Hey… glad to see you back to normal, Riddle." She greeted giving a playful smile.

Riddle looked at her in shock, he then looked around and saw the damage of what transpired earlier. "Wha…. What… did I….?"

Crowley gave a sigh of relief and said, "Ah… I am so glad that Mr. Rosehearts has regained his senses and Miss Akari, being all right."

Trey placed his hand gently on Riddle's shoulder and said, "There is no need to think about it now. Just rest."

Ace shook his head disapprovingly as he said, "Ugh, of course he goes berserk after getting a little mad if you're coddling him all the time! The garden is a disaster, and we were in big trouble!"

Deuce nodded as he added, "It was a crazy situation."

"Seriously." Grim huffed out as he crossed his arms, "Bottling up your stress isn't admirable."

"Geez guys," Himari muttered as she stood up slowly. "Cut him some slack."

"But Hima! He almost-" Ace began to protest, but fell silent when Himari stopped him calmly saying, "It's ok now… I'm fine…"

Riddle who was quiet the whole time lowered his head and began to whisper out, "… I….. really wanted to eat that mont blanc."

"What?" Ace asked.

Riddle slowly turned around to the groups direction but still kept his head down as he continued in a shaky voice, "The roses are fine being white, and the flamingos are fine being pink." He slowly raised his head to look at them as he continued, "I… like putting honey in my tea more than sugar cubes… and I like milk tea more than lemon tea…. I- I want to chat with everyone while we eat…." His silver eyes began to glisten as tears began to form.

"Riddle?" Trey asked looking both surprised and concerned.

Himari watched silently as she sees the once cool and aloof Crimson haired dorm leader began to shake and tears start to stream down as he continued, "I wanted to spend more time with Trey and everyone else…." Unable to handle it anymore he began to cry and wail out loud.

"I can't believe… that Riddle is sobbing like a baby…." Cater gasped in disbelief.

Ace huffed out as he said, "Stop that! You're not forgiven just because you're crying… OW!"

Himari glared at Ace whom she has just slapped the back of his head, she sighed out saying, "Geez you idiot… try to read the situation right now." She then walked towards Riddle and to everyone's surprise she gave the young red head a comforting hug.

"It's ok now Riddle… just let it out." Himari said soothingly, she then looked at Trey's direction as if silently signaling him to say what he needed to say.

"I'm sorry too." Trey said coming closer to the pair, "Even though I knew you were suffering, I pretended not to notice. So I'm going to say it now."

Riddle continued to cry by Himari's shoulders as he listened to both Himari and Trey's words. Afterwards he slowly moved away from Himari's embrace not before giving her a grateful look. He then turned to look at Trey who now had a serious look. His green haired friend then said, "Riddle, your way of doing things is wrong. You have to properly apologize to everyone."

Riddle nodded as he looked again at the others before crying again and saying, "SOB…. SNIFF…. I… I'M SO SORRY…. I'M SO SORRY!"

Himari gave a soft smile before she placed a hand on Riddle's shoulder. Ace then stepped forward and said, "There is something I wanted to say to you if you apologized to everyone that's happened." He then took a deep breathe before crying out, "WORDS CAN'T FIX THIS MESS! I'M NOT JUST GONNA FORGIVE YOU LIKE THAT!"

"HUH?! YOU'RE GOING TO SAY THAT RIGHT NOW?!" Cater gasped out in shock.

"A-Ace…. Don't you think you're being too harsh?" Tsukiko stammered out looking just as shock as the others.

Ace looked rather serious as he replied, "Why wouldn't I! We've been put through the wringer… especially Hima." Himari blinked in surprise at what Ace just said. The red-head continued, "And he still threw away the mont blanc we put all that tume and effort into making. I'm not gonna let him off with a tear-filled apology."

"This guy hold's a grudge worse than I do." Grim mumbled in a deadpanned tone. Hoshiko giggled as she quickly understood Ace's motive, she then asked in a sing song voice, "So… Acey Kun… what should Riri do then so that he can be forgiven?"

"…. My Birthday isn't for a while." Ace said.

"Huh? What are you getting at?" Deuce asked.

"So…. I demand we have a Revenge Unbirthday Party." Ace declared, "We didn't even get to take part in the last one. And this time, you have to make the tart. No getting help from Trey, either! Don it yourself! If you that, there's nothing I won't forgive."

Himari again blinked a couple of times before she gave a small snort and laughter shaking her head as she said, "Not being honest, are you Ace…"

Ace growled out saying, "Shut it, Amazonian…."

MEGA CHOP

"OW!" Ace rubbed his swollen forehead looking at the smiling, but pissed off looking Himari who said in a sweet tone voice, "Oh… I'm sorry, I must have misheard you a while back."

Ace just glared at the girl before looking back at his Dorm Leader and said, "So… you got it?"

Riddle just sniffed and said in a soft voice, "… Yeah… I got it."

Crowley then said in a joyous voice, "Yes, yes, this is the beauty of compromise. Then the issue is settled."

:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3

"Well then, we should probably get started on cleaning up the garden." Cater said scanning the area. "Our photogenic garden is in ruins…. I'm so sad."

"I'll help you out." Trey offered, but Himari stopped him.

"It's ok, sempai." Himari said, "we can clean up here, just bring Riddle to the infirmary…"

"But" Trey said.

"Himari is right…"Cater said in a serious tone, "He did overblot. He should be looked at by the nurse just to be safe."

Suddenly, Himari began to feel woozy and almost collapsed had Trey not quickly held on to her.

"Neesan!" Tsukiko gasped, as she, Hoshiko and the others rushed closer to her.

"Himari, are you ok?" Riddle gasped looking even more worried.

Himari gave a small weak smile as she said, "hehehe, sorry about that… I must have felt a little sting from using magic."

Crowley quickly rushed forward to inspect the Eldest Akari sister as he said, "So it seems. Well, it is your first time to use magic at such a high level. Both you and Mr. Rosehearts need to be checked immediately. I shall escort you all. Mr. Clover, Ms. Tsukiko and Ms. Hoshiko… please help me in bringing these two for medical treatment."

"All right… thank you…" Trey said. He then picked up Himari in bridal style, as the girl sputtered out, "H-Hey… Sempai!" Trey gave a soft smile as he said, "You looked ready to collapse. Don't worry, your sisters are helping me with Riddle." As he said it, both Tsukiko and Hoshiko helped Riddle as he leaned unto both girls for support.

With a snap of his fingers, the masked headmaster then magically transported them to the infirmary.

"Well then…" Cater said cheerfully looking at Ace, Deuce and Grim, "let's get to work then."

"Fine" both Heartslabyul freshmen sighed out, feeling rather cheated that they will have to do the work.

:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3

(A FEW HOURS LATER)

"Ugh, I'm starving from using all that magic…" Grim grumbled. He and the others are still working hard to clean up and restore the garden to it's natural beauty. The little monster's nose began to pick up a familiar scent. Following it, he then came upon something glistening under a rose bush. "Hm… this is…"

He picked it up and squealed in delight, "This is the same as the black magic crystal we found at Dwarf's Mine!"

Hearing the cries of their furry friend… Ace, Deuces and Cater rushed forward to see what the commotion was. Deuce kneeled down to get a closer look and said, "You're right! Where did it come from?". Ace shook his head and said, "Better not eat this one."

Grim however was too excited to listen as he cried out, "I'll never forget that flavor! Don't mind if I do!" and with that he devoured it in one bite. Both Ace and Deuce groaned in frustration remarking, "He already ate it!?"

Cater looked shocked and gasped out, "Uh… Grim, that's the kind of palette you have?!"

Grim jumped up and down in glee as he said, "Woooow! It starts out with a rich sweetness then finishes with the slightest hint of bitterness for an aromatic experience! This rock has its own unique flavor completely different from the last!"

Ace once again shook his head and said, "Well… he is a monster so his stomach is built differently from ours."

Deuce also added, "I don't think that makes eating stuff off the ground alright…."

Grim, who wanted more began looking around and saying, "The lawn has a really refreshing flavor too if you give it a try."

Deuce then picked up Grim while scolding him, "Stop! That's not for eating!"

"Ohhh I cant…." Cater sighed out, he then looked at the trio and remembering also the Akari sisters, he then gave a small smile and whispered, "Thanks…. Everyone."

Ace turned to look at his senior and asked, "Huh? Did you say something?"

Cater gave a chuckle and simply waved it off saying. "Ah hahaha, no it's nothing at all…"

:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3

(MEANWHILE IN THE INFIRMARY)

"Well the good news is that there seems to be no serious damage on either of them. But they do need plenty of rest and try to take it easy for the time being." The school doctor said. Both Riddle and Himari are now laying on two separate beds, while Trey, Tsukiko, Hoshiko, and Crowley listened in on the consultation. The school doctor then said, "For tonight, I want both of them to stay here for observation and tomorrow, they can return to their respective dorms." He then gestured them, "Now if you four will follow me, I will give you some medicines that both of them will need to take."

"All right." Trey nodded, he looked back at Riddle and said, "We'll be back in a while ok Riddle."

Riddle gave a silent nod.

Tsukiko made sure to tuck in her sister as she said, "We'll be back also in a while, so I hope you will stay put and please rest."

Himari chuckled and said, "Really Tsuki… you shouldn't worry about me, I'm fine really…" Her face then changed to nervousness as she saw the stern motherly look of her sister. "Neesan…." Tsukiko said in a warning tone. Himari, gave a nervous laugh before sighing out and muttered, "Ok… sorry Tsuki…"

The blue haired girl sighed out as she stopped by to see if Riddle was comfortable before walking out with the others. Hoshiko just gave a cheery wave before following her sister also.

Both Riddle and Himari lied in silence staring at the ceiling before Riddle finally spoke, "Himari…"

"Hm…" Himari responded turning her head to look at Riddle.

Riddle closed his eyes and gave deep sigh before saying, "I…. I wanted to apologize especially towards you. I have treated you with more hostility than everyone one else. You already have known my past, my mother, Trey, Che'nya… everything. All my life, I have always looked up to my mother and believed every single one of her words and the way she does things. But… I knew somewhere deep within, I… I felt that this isn't what I truly wanted." Himari stared and listened intently at Riddle as he continued, "When you and your sisters arrived here… it all began to feel different. You, most of all had the greatest effect on me. Everything you did, how you stood up for what you believe in, for your compassion for those that are not even from your own dorm… It made me…." He gave a long shuddering sigh as he blurted out, "… jealous."

"Jealous?" Himari whispered in surprise. Her eyes widened as Riddle then turned to face her in a serious expression as he continued, "Yes… I was envious of you… you were able to be who you wish to be, you created special bonds with your sisters and the others, you said what you needed to say and do what you wished to do… and even when faced with dire situations, you never gave up! I- I wanted to be just like that… to be able to gain that kind of freedom, without the burden of always following the rules."

"Hey, Riddle…" Himari said softly as she gave him a warm and comforting smile. "Don't be so hard on yourself…. You may have overdid in following and enforcing the rules and stuff. But you do have qualities you should be proud of… you're smart, and awesome with your magic… and if you weren't being all snobbish, you're actually kinda cute."

The last remark made Riddle's face go entirely red. Himari laughed at his reaction before adding, "Also… in the end, you were doing it all for the benefit of your classmates. Even if it went a bit on the wrong side. It's never too late to change for the better…. And remember this you're never alone… we're all here should you need us."

Riddle stared silently at the girl, suddenly the warm memory of her in the golden armor flashed within his mind. He finally gave a warm smile as he whispered, "Thank you… Thank you for everything, Himari."

It was Himari's turn to blush a bit as she mesmerized by Ridde's sudden charming smile. She then shook it off and smiled back, laughing inwardly at her silliness.

Outside the room Trey, Tsukiko, and Hoshiko just smiled as they overheard the conversation and decided to leave them to rest for the time being.

:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3

(HEARTSLABYUL DORM : TEA GARDEN AREA)
SEVERAL DAYS LATER

"Our Great leader! The Crimson Ruler! Announcing Dorm Head Riddle!"

"Dorm Head Riddle! Hip Hip Hooray!"

Riddle, who has made a full recovery after the incident, stepped towards the center and looked around as he nodded and said, "Hmm… The roses are red, the tablecloths are white. A perfect Unbirthday Party." He then walked towards the main table and asked, "Inside the teapot is there a sleeping…Ah…" he then stopped and smiled saying, "Actually, it's fine without."

Trey walked closer to his Dorm leader and said, "You don't have to change everything right away. Instead of putting jam on the mouse's nose, try putting it on a scone. Change 'It's worthless without' to 'It would be nice to have', right?"

"Yeah, you're right." Riddle agreed.

"Ugh… in the end we had to handle getting the garden cleaned up and all the prep work." Ace sighed out.

"Hey quit complaining, Ace." Himari said scolding him, "Be grateful that at least we're all ok."

Deuce nodded, "Himari's right… Both she and the Dorm head being back to full recovery is more important."

"Yeah you're right." Ace sighed out, but deep inside he was really thankful that Himari and Riddle were ok.

"Well you both did a wonderful job in restoring the garden again." Tsukiko said smiling at both freshmen who blushed at the compliment.

Cater came to the group holding his magicam as he said excitedly, "The garden is looking super photogenic so I'm super satisfied."

"Yeah I'm ready to eat all this food!" Grim cried out in glee.

"And I'm ready to have some fun!" Hoshiko giggled.

"Ok! Let's get to…." Cater began to say.

"Just a moment!"

The group jumped as they turned in surprise to see Riddle and Trey walking towards them. Both having a serious stern expression on their faces.

"W-What's up?" Himari asked looking rather confused.

Riddle then pointed his staff towards the direction on a certain rose bush as he said, "Those white roses."

Ace, Deuce, Cater and Grim looked nervous as Ace asked. "We missed some?!"

"Uh oh…" Cater nervously said, "Ace, Deuce, you said you painting them all!"

"This is our fault?!" Deuce asked.

The Akari sisters held their breath and nervously watched on.

"R-Riddle, this…" Trey began to say looking just as concerned.

Riddle's shoulder began to shake and his stone face crumpled as he began to chuckle and then laugh as he said, ".. Kidding… I'm just kidding… I'm not going to punish you for one or two roses."

Everyone blinked in surprise before they sighed out in relief.

Himari blinked for a moment before finally letting out a hearty laugh and said, "Well, well… looks like someone's sense of humor has finally awoken."

Cater nervously laughed out, "R-Really?! Riddle's so lenient!"

Riddle took out his staff and said pleasantly, "It will go faster if we work together."

"You still want them painted?!" Ace said in disbelief.

"Don't worry…" Trey chuckled, he then looked at his childhood friend and smiled happily as he said, "But really… yeah. You have changed, Riddle."

"GGGRRGHH! I CAN'T WAIT ANOTHER SECOND! LET'S GET THIS PAINTING STUFF OVER AND PARTY!" Grim cried out excitedly.

"Then everyone, are you all ready?" Riddle asked.

"Yeah!" All responded and headed straight towards the rose bushes.

:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3

After they successfully finished painting the roses red, the party has come into full swing. There was music, laughter and sweets. Unlike before there was no longer a heavy feeling reigning down upon the dorm and its residence.

Ace along with Deuce, then approached Riddle who was having tea and sweets with Trey and Cater and asked, "So… how did your apology tart come along?"

"I- I baked it… don't worry." Riddle face began to blush as he quickly fumbled down a box and took out a plate of strawberry tarts. "This. I made this strawberry tarts."

"Hey… they look really good, Riddle" Himari complimented. She, Grim and her two sisters approached the group.

Hearing Himari's compliment, made Riddle blush intensify as he fiddled with his thumbs. That did not go unnoticed by the youngest of the Akari sisters who found it immensely cute.

"Hmm… Hmmm… The shape needs a little work but you did well coating the strawberries in nappage to bring out their shine." Trey inspected.

"You did really well for you first try, Riddle kun." Tsukiko said happily.

"Ah there it is… Trey's douting attitude and Tsukiko's motherly affections." Ace teased out. "Well, let's give it a try then."

All of them took a piece, Cater then said, "Oh wait, I wanna take a pic of this ultra rare tarts so hold off on eating it!... okay!" He then took several shots on the said dessert.

Ace chucked saying, "He never changes either…. Ok everyone… let's dig in…"

All of then took a nice bite out of it… and then…

"Hngh?!"

"UGH!?"

"This tart is…" Both Trey and Cater mumbled in disbelief as they chewed very slowly.

"SALTY!" All cried out.

"What?!" Riddle gasped out in shock.

The Akari sisters had to quickly drink tea or water just to dilute the salty flavor. "ACK! My tongue felt like it ate a spoonful of salt!" Himari gasped out.

"IT'S LIKE EATING THE OCEAN! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU PUT IN THIS?!" Ace sputtered out.

Riddle frantically said, "I followed the rules strictly when getting the supplies and during baking. There shouldn't be anything wron- …. AH!"

"W-What is it, Riri?" Hoshiko asked.

Riddle began to nervously look away as he mumbled, "Is it because…. I added oyster sauce?"

"…"

"Cough, Cough…. Are you referring to Clover's joke about the walrus seal of approval?!" Deuce asked.

Riddle who is still looking away slowly nodded.

Himari then said in a deadpanned voice, "Riddle…. Please don't tell me you actually fell for that joke?"

Riddle blushed as he defended himself saying, "Trey used to say that all good tarts have it even if it's not in the recipe…. As a secret ingredient!"

Everyone just sighed and laughed out at the silliness. Ace took a swig of tea as he said, "Blegh, there's no way! If you think about it for a moment you'd realize!"

"But you guys fell for it too you know!" Hoshiko giggled.

"Yes, that's true." Tsukiko laughed as well.

"But this goes beyond a secret ingredient." Cater said, "How much did you add?"

Riddle once again looked away in nervousness as he replied, "N-No one will divulge their trade secrets, you know? So I couldn't precisely figure out how much to add…"

"PFFTT… AH HA HA HA HA!" Trey laughed out loud, he began to hold his stomach and lean on a nearby table as he continued. "I never thought there would be someone who took that seriously… Ahahahahahaha!"

Soon, Riddle began to laugh as well, "Ahahahaha… so true… I'm so silly… ahahahaha."

"Ahahahaha… it's so bad it makes you laugh!" Deuce chucked. Soon everyone began to laugh at the silliness of it all.

"It's good to laugh it off…." Himari said happily. "Yeah… I agree…. Hahahaha" Ace said.

"But… now that I think it's good in its own way." Grim said.

"I get you there," Cater said as he continued to eat his piece. "It's not as bad as you think.

"Diamond, your palette is just as crazy as Grim's!" Deuce remarked.

"Oh no… I wouldn't say that" Cater said.

"The tart is good because it isn't sweet… right, Cay-kun?" Hoshiko chirped in.

Cater's eyes widened at what the youngest sister said. "Eh?!"

Trey nodded and said, "Cater, you hate sweets."

The others looked at them in surprise. "Is it true, sempai?" Tsukiko asked.

"EH, EH?! Trey, Hoshiko-chan, how did you two know?" Cater asked in surprise. "I've never told anyone about my aversion to sweets."

"Whenever we eat cake you bring up my 'DOODLE SUIT' and change the flavor You never show it in your face but I just had this feeling you don't like sweets." Trey said.

"I also kinda noticed that you never had sweets or any form of desserts in your tray when we met at the cafeteria. Also during the party, I saw that you never once tried any of the pastries here. All you did was take photos and drank tea. So, I also had the same idea as Trey-nii." Hoshiko said in a sing song tone.

"Man… I didn't realize how observant your sister really is!" Ace muttered in shock.

"Hoshiko may not show it, but she has high observational skills." Himari said calmly.

Cater looked at both Trey and Hoshiko before sighing out and said, "Ah… I've been found out. So embarrassing…." He looked at Trey and said, "Trey, like the stuff with Riddle… But your habit of 'I noticed but didn't say anything' is not good."

Trey just smiled and said, "I'll cook up some quiche for the next Unbirthday Party.

Cater then smiled and said, "I appreciate that…. Make it just as photogenic as cake, okay."

"Hummm hmmm hmmm…. Trey's sweets are always purr-fect. Nom nom munch munch."

Everyone gave a slight jump in surprise as appearing behind the group was Che'nya munching happily away at some of Trey's cupcakes.

"YIKS! IT'S YOU!" Himari cried out.

"Che'nya!" Riddle gasped out, "What are you doing here?!"

The purple haired cat man looked at Riddle in delight as he pounced playfully closer to him holding on to a handful of sweets and pastries saying, "Hmm… I came to celebrate the Unbirthday Party. Congrats, Riddle."

"The Unbirthday Party is a Heartslabyul Tradition. You don't have anything to do with it." Riddle said.

"Hehehehe… neither do those ladies, right? Hmmhmmm…." Che'nya said gesturing towards the Akari sisters and Grim.

"Ah you!" Grim huffed out annoyed. "You're the guy from before with the cat puns!"

"Oh hi Che-nyachii!" Hoshiko giggled giving a friendly wave.

"Hmm… That reminds me, I've been wanting to know…" Himari said, "What dorm are you from?"

"Che'nya isn't even a student here to begin with." Trey explained, "He's from Night Raven College's long-standing rival, Royal Sword Academy."

"WHAT!? HE GOES TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL?!" Deuce cried out in shock.

"FREAKING ROYAL SWORD ACADEMY?!" Ace spluttered out.

"Oh wow…. What a cool name!" Hoshiko squealed in amazement.

"So there are other types of schools that teaches magic." Tsukiko said in awe.

Himari was silent, then she turned around as she heard other residence say…

"Did they just say Royal Sword Academy?!"

"One of those stuck up assholes is here?!"

"What?! Where? We'll toss them out!"

Che'nya then jumped on one of the tables as he grabbed a piece of Raspberry tart as he cheerfully said, "Ooops…. Well, I got my tart so it's time for meow to go home." He gave one last look at the Akari sisters and most especially at Himari before whispering, "You and Riddle look sooo Purrr-fect together, I'm rooting for you…. Hummm hmmm hmmm….." He then quickly vanished just as fast as he appeared.

"AAHH! HE GOT AWAY!" The residence cried out. A few of them began to run around in a mad haste crying out, "AFTER HIM!"

"Oookay, that was weird." Himari mumbled.

"Whooah!" Grim breathed out nervously, "They all got murderous all of the sudden."

Riddle sighed as he explained, "Students from Night Raven College have a high probability to turn hostile towards Royal Sword Academy."

"After losing for 100 years, you can't blame them…." Trey said, slightly shaking his head.

"Ohhh, I see…." Tsukiko said.

Cater and Hoshiko then jumped between the group and declared, "All right no more gloomy talk! We're celebrating!"

"Cay-kun's right! Let's enjoy the Unbirthday party today!"

Grim then jumped in Hoshiko's arms as he happily said, "Nyahaha, I'm gonna eat until I burst! Happy Unbirthday Party!"

Everyone then burst out laughing and being merry.

Unbeknowest to the sisters, Tsukiko's Moonstone gave a faint shimmering glow.

:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3:3

(SAVANACLAW DORM : LEONA'S ROOM)

"Sigh… I'm jealous! Those Heartslabyul guys are having a party with a huge feast." A young boy sighed as he looked out the window towards the direction where the Heartslabyul Dorm resides. He turned around and continued, "Savanaclaw doesn't have any stomach bursting traditions."

"Hmph! What's so fun about a party where all you do is eat cake and cookies under the afternoon sun? Disgusting." Another figure said lazily as he slowly sat up from his bed and gave a good stretch. He then stood up and looked at his companion and asked, "That aside, how's is that coming…?"

The young hyena boy named Ruggie gave a sly smirk as he said, "Leave it to me. Things are coming along smoothly. Shishishishi!"

Leona, gave a satisfied smirk saying, "While those guys waste their time away drinking tea… we have our change. That stuck up Malleus, too." He walked towards the balcony and stared at the area where a dark castle loomed over the horizon.

His canine grin widened as he said, "Be prepared….."
