Chapter 21.

*sigh* I'm so tired and I feel as if my mana and stamina is drained,Alisa said while going to take a shower. She filled the bath tub with essential oils and a herb elixir to replenish her strength.

She got in and said,What did the words in that red book mean? I think I remember a phrase, Tokubetsu da nante? What does that mean anyway? After she was done,she went downstairs and made took the leftover tiramisu in the refrigerator and started thinking about those phrases. Xia,Ming and Xuan won't be here for another two hours,so I can try to research more before they come back,Alisa said.

Then the black crest appeared on her forehead again without and she lost control of her body,her spirit was unconscious then the malicious power took over.

The power inside her said,Chikai! Then surprisingly, the red book with golden flower printings appeared and floated on her hand.

She opened it and wrote while tears were dripping but shockingly the tears never wetted the book at all,not even a drop.

She wrote,

*I don't mind someone getting the wrong idea,

As long as it's with you,

But even if I think it,I won't ever say it!

I want to feel the scent of the approaching sky with you next to me,

Today I find you at the schoolyard,

Right away,

I've had so much fun thinking about,

The first thing I should say,

The curtains billow in the wind,

And the sun's rays shine in,

When I laugh at how bright your face is,

You blush and try to hide,

It's enough to make me forget,

About my depressing tests,

Hey,I think we should we should make a secret promise,

Just for the two of us,

I wonder if I'm the only one,

Who doesn't want our seats to be changed,

If I'm not next to you,

I'm sure each day would be a little boring,

I don't want to miss out on,

Your not so cute doodles,

And also your serious expressions,

But that's not all,though.

I pretended to look outside,

But I was looking at you,

Hey,I want to peek into your heart,

I don't mind someone getting the wrong idea,

Because you're special,

But even if I think it,I won't ever say it!

I wonder if this curious relationship

Will ever manage to change.

There are so many things I can't tell you at school,

If you want to know what they are,

Then you and I should be....

I want to see you more and more,

Wearing something other than your school uniform,

But I won't ever say it!

I'm searching for words

To replace 'I miss you!'

I don't mind someone getting the wrong idea,

As long as it's with you,

But even if I think it,I won't ever say it!

I want to feel the distance between our desks,

So I can grow closer and closer....to you.

To feel you closer to me*!

She wiped the tears and a cold and expressionless face was looking into the infinite. Then she turned to the other page and started writing,

*Hoshii no wa purasuchikku na haato,

Demo sore ja tsumaranai soko ni kizuita mono kachi,

Koi wa amakute nigai mono,

Tanjun meikai fukuzatsu kaiki na shiromono,

Dou de mo ii koto bakkari ki ni shitari suru no,

Donna kanji? Sonna kanji?

Onkou tokujitsu ekisentorikku na anata,

Tsuyogaru soburi o zenshin matotte tachuichi,

Sunao no dake dato shigeki ga tsuyokute kurakura,

Kitzutsuichau no kizutsukechau no junjou pure paraato,

Atama no naka wa itsumo hitori no junjou pure pareedo*.

Then she closed it and went to the last page and wrote,

Love is like a plum,at first,when you bite it,it's as sweet as honey,but if you chew it some more it suddenly becomes sour.

Love is like a Red Rose,if your not ready for the thorns you might as well give up after testing the waters.

Then she said,Kurito kojimeo! And the book and the pen disappeared and Alisa returned to her normal state. But before she returned back to normal,she said,

I hope you can remember because the people who meant the world to you,even now,are still grieving, especially one person.

What the hell happened? Two hours have passed already?! What was I doing? Alisa said while standing from the chair.

Mommy,we're home! Ming said while running to hug Alisa. The school was very interesting, Mom,wasn't it? Xia,Xuan,tell her,Ming said while hugging her from behind.

Yeah,it was kinda good,Xia said. Yeah,Xuan said.

Good for you,now go take baths and come to eat before the sun rises,Alisa said hastily.

When they went for a bath,Alisa just went outside, sat on the ground and looked at the moon setting.

She said,Why me? I'm just a vampire noble,that's all I am. What else am I? What else did Arthur and Elaine hide from me?
