"Look many people gather around there. " Koyuki said and look down. Currently they were on the second floor.

"Yeah, seems like there will be a show." Ryusei said.

"One of the famous pianist will play to us, Pls Welcome Licht Jekyll Todoroki. " The Mc below said.

And Licht appeared.

"Heh~ a famous Pianist." Koyuki said.

"Tsk, Why did it have to be that guy!?" Sakuya said annoyed.

"You know him?" Ryusei asked.

"Somehow." Sakuya said looking down annoyed.

"Menduksei... Mahiru, Lets go home. I don't want to deal with the angel Wanna be and that Annoying hedgehog." Kuro said looking at his Eve who look at Licht like somehow Licht was Familiar (well he is though).

"Somehow, that guy is very Familiar." Mahiru said.

Kuro sigh and look down with a serious eyes. "I should be thankful for that Angel Wanna be, afterall he and Lawless were the one who saves Mahiru." Kuro thought.

Then without a further a do, Licht started to play the music.

Mahiru was surprised, upon hearing that melody... He felt warmth, he felt calm, he felt relaxed yet in a different way.

Mahiru~ a woman voice called to him.

Mahiru then saw something from his mind.

It was Mahiru who was 6 years old. He was sitting on the corner of the room crying. He doesn't know why he was crying but all he knows that he felt pain in his heart, he felt like his chest was squeezed by two rocks.

Everything around him was dark,

Darkness

Darkness and lonely

Thats the only thing he knows.

He felt very sad.

(As the beautiful melody of the piano keep Playing)

"They are gone, They are Gone, they are gone. They won't come back again, they won't come back again." Mahiru said and cried.

Until he heard a door opens. He saw light, and standing there was a woman. Not just an ordinary woman, but it was his mother.

"Don't cry, Your not gonna be alone. I'm here to take care of you." His mother said.

"But, But, Mom and Dad are already gone! We left them, I left them. I shouldn't have left them, I should have stay beside them!" Mahiru said crying.

"But your mother wanted to live right? She said that you should live, because she knows you'll have a bright future." His mother said.

"But... Still... Living without them is pointless. They are... They are the only people that I need." Mahiru said.

His mother then embraced him. Engulfing him in a warm hug. It was a great feeling, like every sadness he felt vanish and was replaced by the warm of happiness and safety.

" Don't say that, I'm here and I'll take care of you. " His mother said, she broke the hug and look at Mahiru. She wipe his tears with those soft hand. "I can be your mother from now on, Though I know I can't replaced Sakurapiya in your heart. I'll try my best to take care of you, Mahiru." She said and smile at Mahiru.

That smile saved Mahiru from the darkness he was in.

It saved him from the loneliness he felt

From the sadness.

That smile was like the sun who suddenly lit up his dark world.

But

The scene was replaced by,

He was 9 and he was standing on the street.

Hearing sirens everywhere and all he could see was a Car that is upside down.

Inside of the Car was his mother, who was unconscious and bleeding badly in the head.

"Mom!" Mahiru shouted as he reach for his mother and keep crying.

"No, No, No! Pls... Pls... Don't leave me too! Pls..." Mahiru said and keep reaching but something is pulling him away. Something is dragging him down.

He look behind him and it was the same darkness.

The same darkness he was in.

He was trap again.

Mahiru!

Someone is calling him a familiar voice.

Mahiru!

But he can't see them.

He was hearing a melody too.

Mahiru!

That monotone Voice sounds very Familiar.

He look once more and he saw from far away a faint light color of the sky was viewed.

Mahiru!

The light called him and he try to reach his hand

Then everything was White.

(As the melody stops.)

"Mahiru!"

Mahiru snap out and look at the person's who was calling him. It was Kuro who was looking at Him worriedly.

"Are you okay?" Kuro asked.

"Yeah..." Mahiru said.

"Then Why are you crying?" Ryusei asked concern for his friend.

"huh?" Mahiru said and felt something was falling from his eyes. He touches his cheek and he saw that he was crying.

"Here." Koyuki said and offered a handkerchief.

"Thank you Koyuki." Mahiru said and wipe his tears. "I'm sorry, To worry you guys." Mahiru said.

"Are you okay though?" Kuro asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. You don't need to worry." Mahiru said and smile.

"Don't worry, your not the only ones who's crying. Koyuki cried too." Ryusei said.

"Its because, His performance is heart whelming. Its like he touches my heart with that beautiful melody~" Koyuki said.

"Yeah, I got to admit. His performance is great. It was like a music from heaven." Ryusei said and look down.

Mahiru look down and saw that the Man who was playing a piano earlier was already bowing to the audience and was ready to leave. But, Blue eyes met Honey Colored ones.

Mahiru was surprise with that, Its like... Its like those eyes well the owner of the eyes does really felt very familiar. He just can't point it out.

"Mahiru? Are you really okay? You just flinch earlier." Sakuya said.

"Yeah, Don't worry." Mahiru said.

"Nope your not fine. We keep calling you earlier but you seems to space out."Ryusei said.

" Really? " Mahiru said.

And the trio nod.

" Well, You guys don't need to worry. That melody earlier just remind me of how my mother used to hold me with such a heart whelming arms. She save me from whatever darkness I was, but I was back to the darkness world in the end because I saw that she died in a Car accident. I suddenly have that flashback when I heard that beautiful melody. " Mahiru said.

" But I wonder why did my little self is talking, like mom isn't infront of him? And who's sakurapiya? "Mahiru thought.

" I see, You just have a sad flashback. " Ryusei said.

" Maybe you guys should get home and take some rest. Afterall its getting late. " Sakuya said.

" Thats a Nice Idea. " Kuro said.

" You just wanted to go home don't you? " Mahiru said and look at his Servamp.

" Its a pain staying here. " Kuro said. "I really don't want to deal with the angel wanna be and That Annoying brother of mime." Kuro thought.

"Well then, Lets go home then." Koyuki said.

💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫

The scene then change and they were standing infront of the mall. The sky is already dark as the sun already gone.

"Goodbye you guys, be home safe." Mahiru said and wave goodbye.

"Don't worry, I'll keep them safe." Sakuya said.

"Its not like were asking your help to guide us stupid vampire." Ryusei said.

"You damn shit! You should be greatful that I'm becoming your guardian!" Sakuya said glaring at Ryusei.

"You two should get along!" Koyuki said and smack their heads.

Mahiru laugh a little.

"Well we should get going, Bye." Mahiru said.

"Bye, Bye Mahiru. Kuro-chan its fun spending time with you guys." Koyuki said.

"Specially with the master Gamer Kuro. We should go out like this sometimes." Ryusei said.

"Next Time then." Mahiru said and smile.

"Well then were going." Ryusei said and the trio went in the opposite direction.

"Lets go Kuro." Mahiru said.

💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫

As they walking in the street.

"Did you enjoy today?" Mahiru asked.

"Its tiring to go from one Store to another." Kuro said.

"But You never complain about that earlier. Infac, to me you look excited somehow tasting different kinds of food and sweets." Mahiru said thinking what they did today.

"Hm.. Thats the only good thing. Food." Kuro said.

"Really? Thats the only good thing~" Mahiru said 😏

"Ah... Your such a troublesome person. Can't deal..." Kuro said. "Well, You and your friends are good to me too." Kuro thought but he didn't want to say it outloud.

"Okay if you say so..." Mahiru said.

It was a comfortable silence then.

Thats until out of nowhere a guy just came falling infront of Mahiru. He landed on his feet and...

"Its been a while since I see you, Angel in Training. How have you been?" The guy a.k.a Licht said and look at Mahiru.

"Ah... Eh..?" Mahiru was surprised with a guy who came from the sky.
