A small spark shone on Akiara's eyes. She turned her face away as tears trickled down her eyes.

[It was already been six months since her friendship ended with Suki-san. As she was working part-time job in café, Suki-san came in as a customer.

"Aki-chan!" she hugged her, "Can we talk... in private?"

Her manager nodded, "Sure. Nakamura-san take her to our break room."

She nodded, "Follow me." they walked to break room. "What is it that you wanted to talk, Minamoto-san?"

"Minamoto-san? Now you're gonna call me by my last name. C'mon drop the formalities." she gripped her shoulders squeezing it gently.

"Get to the point. I don't have time to waste, Minamoto-san."

"Sigh." she changed her happy expression to sad, "Look.... I'm sorry for what I did back then. But-"

"Is that all you want to say?" She asked shoving off her hands.

"W-what do you mean?"

"Please excuse me, my break is over." with that she was walking away from the room.

Suki-san hugged her from behind, "I like you with all my heart. Please don't reject my feelings. I have been waiting for this day to confess you."

She pushed her away, "Trust is not like broken glass pieces that will be joined back." with that she walked away. Manager looked at her expressionless face and then glanced at Suki-san. She flopped down with tearful eyes feeling rejected.]

She placed her hand on her eyes, "Why....... how can you say it so easily?"

Teivel kissed her passionately leaving her speechless, "Is that convincing to you?"

"......" she didn't know what to say anymore.

"You know... if you didn't show up on time... I would have started to lose hope that there isn't even anyone who would save me from my loneliness. Thank you, love."

"...." she was blushing and her eyes grew wide.

She again kissed her passionately, kissing her back. She wrapped her arms around her neck.

She let go off her, "I love you."

She averted her gaze, ".... I.... I just need to think about it."

She smiled, "Don't worry. I will wait as long as it takes."

She pulled her to sit and she started to put medicine in her scars. Then she puts bandages. She closed her first aid box and kept it back.

"Just wait here, I'll be back." She left the room.

Her face turned red. She covered her face on the pillow, "I kissed her back! I completely let my guard down! What should I do now?" she sat and stared at the window. Sun was setting and the sky was slowly changing its color.

She looked down and clenched the blanket, "Can I leave my past behind and start over again?" she gritted her teeth, "Should I open my heart?"

"Geez, Onee-chan you're hopeless as always." A voice spoke breaking her train of thoughts.

She looked towards the source of the sound. It was Mitsuko. She was sitting on the chair smiling at her.

"Mitsuko?" she stared at her in disbelief.

Mitsuko walked towards her and hugged her. She hugged her back, "Mitsuko, what are you doing here?" She started crying seeing her sister in good health.

She rubbed her back, "There there." She let go off her, "Anyways I came here to say is Onee-chan.... thanks for everything you have done for me until the end. Whatever you've done for me, it's still not enough by thanking you. So all I want is that please don't cling into past and start a new life that the God has given you. We are watching you from above and hope that this time you have a good life. Once again thanks Onee-chan for everything!" She walked towards the window.

"Mitsuko!?" She cried as she reached out her hand.

Just then Teivel opened the door with a tray. She glanced at the door and then back at the window. Mitsuko was gone without any trace. A small smile played her lips, "If that's what you want, I'll give it a try."

She kept the tray on top of the chest of drawers and walked towards her.

She sat beside her and wiping her tears, "Is everything alright? Why are you crying?"

She held her hands, "Its nothing I just remembered something."

She cupped her cheeks looking at her eyes, "If you want to talk things I'm all ears to listen to it."

"Thank you for letting me know."

She smiled hearing her response. She gave her a quick peck on her forehead and walked towards the chest of drawers to bring the tray. Then she put it on the bed and took a spoonful of rice porridge.

She blew air to cool it. She opened her mouth and took a spoonful bite. She gave a small smile as she took another bite. She noticed her smile and smiled.

"You know... your face looks beautiful as they show different emotions. So what's with that smile?"

"It's been a while since someone cooked for me. Thank you for cooking." She smiled as a tear slid down her eyes making her look more beautiful.

She couldn't hold back and gave a quick peck, "Your beautiful face is quite dangerous. Make sure to hide your face." She joked.

"...." she was left speechless and her face turned bright red. She hid her face under the pillow.

She chuckled. Later that night they both fell asleep in the same bed. Cordelia and Arrow peeped through the door.

"They are sleeping together." Arrow whispered as loudly as Cordelia could hear.

"Yeah. Seems like they did it." She smiled.

"What do you mean by that?"

"You won't understand. Let's go. Tomorrow we will be able to meet Akiara."

"Really?"

"Yes." They walked back to servant's quarters.

Next morning, Teivel woke up. She smiled seeing her sleeping face. She tucked her strand of hair behind her ear.

"She looks so innocent. Looks like she's not gonna wake up any time soon." She kissed on her forehead and got down the bed.

When she came back from bathroom, she saw Akiara was getting dressed. She hugged her from behind and kissed on her neck.

"Mornin' love."

"You are too close!" she pushed her back.

"Aww you are so cold." She wrapped her arms around her waist.

"What did you expect? Clinging into me early in the morning." She tried to let go off her.

"Well that's normal for couple to do so." She replied averting her gaze.

She flinched, "Where did you learn all these from?"

"From books, duh." She slowly approached her lips to kiss her.

Arrow barged in making them to let go off each other, "Big sis I missed you so much!" he hugged her tightly.

She hugged him back, "Have you been good kid when I was gone?"

"Yes big sis. I was a good kid." He held his head high in pride.

She glanced at Teivel. She looked disappointed. She smirked at her with satisfaction.

She narrowed her eyes, "I see. Then I will also get what I want."

She ruffled his hair, "Then I will buy you five cotton candies."

Teivel tapped her shoulder. As she turned her face, she kissed her. When she let go off her, she noticed her face was red.

"W-w-why did you do that in front of a kid?" She asked looking flustered.

She smiled, "This is your punishment for provoking me."

She looked so flustered and averted her gaze, ".... let's go to dining hall, you must be hungry." She grabbed his hand and walked out of the room.

"Big sis wait! Whoa!!"

She chuckled, "So cute."

"Sigh. I just wish that no one comes in our relationship." She walked out of the room.
