It took her quite some time to convince him to go inside the water with her. But even then, he remained completely unmoved. This isn't working as well as she thought it would. What's more, now that they are alone together. She understands full well that she really wants his blood.

"..What?"

"Say Kiryu-kun? Could I have some blood?" she asked.

If she asked politely like this, it wouldn't be rude right?

"Do...you need it?"

"I didn't. But like since I entered the mansion I've e been really hungry and restless, cause I smelt something nice. I've been searching for the nice scent for a long time. Were you hiding somewhere?"

"I was putting my painting in a far corner and yet got surrounded..."

"Painting? Ah, show me when we go back inside and I can compare it with mine !! " she said excitedly.

Kiryu-kun painted too? She can't wait to see it.

".... I see..."

"That reaction is too low! Although I know I have a long way to go in contrast to my parents, I'll do my best so I can one day surpass them."

"You already have a dream for the future?" he muttered surprised.

Lila nodded as she happily said, "Dream? Ah, my dream is, to become the number one idol."

He seemed to be in deep thought for a while. Did she say something strange?

"What about you Kiryu-kun? Do you have an interest in music?"Lila asked.

"Only an interest, unlike you I don't plan to make a career out of it," Kiryu replied coldly.

"Really? Because I feel like your the same type as me?"

She doesn't understand exactly why, but when she heard the sound of his piano. She felt something very familiar.

"...The same type...you have too much energy .. And in the first place, if you choose a career that's the same as your parents. Most people will think, rather I think so too - that you'll only pass through connections and be successful due to their influence."

"Wow. Your really kind Kiryu-kun!" she exclaimed.

"Huh?" He seemed puzzled.

Lila laughed softly, "That means your saying my parents are amazing!"

What a kind person!

"Do you want some? Blood I mean."

"I can have some?!!"

With his confirmation, Lila took a few steps closer. Oh, for some reason she's starting to feel a bit nervous. Kiryu, however, pulled her towards him, thump. Thump...

.

.

It was somewhat embarrassing after awhile. But Lila did manage to show him around the area. The whole time though he didn't say much and she felt her heartbeat gradually growing stronger. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and turned around. "Um, what's wrong--" Lila paused, seeing the expression on his face. Ah.

"Lila."

"Um, yes?"

"Do you want to be my partner? We can do the ceremony ourselves since we both have the charms."

It was a very direct way of asking and she should have hesitated. But right at that moment where their gaze met, she felt it. A strong connection, a thread waiting to be joined together.

"Oo--okay..." she stuttered.

He seemed surprised at her response, so she quickly added.

"I think we're really compatible. I've never met anyone ...um like yourself. "

She's talking about his blood right? Well...he can find out in the ceremony. Kiryu pulls her towards him. Despite her embarrassment, she wrapped her arms around him. Mommy and Ren-san are right after all.

'Your hanyou instincts will kick in and you'll naturally know what to do. '

"Lila..."Kiryu said softly.

.

.

"Sorry, is your body okay?"

They're both only 4 years old even if hanyou children are matured more by four-three years than their natural age. That would still only make their bodies 7 years old. To perform a ceremony in such intimacy like that at a young age. Lila's cheeks burned red and she was thankful it was so dark, no their hanyou's. It makes no difference. He hasn't noticed yet. It really is so good, why is that? She needs more to find out. She found herself wrapping her arms around his neck, and biting him.

Such lonely and bitter emotions that resemble her own, and yet it's so sweet.

"Lila?"

"It really is yummy. I wonder why...do I need to drink more to find out?" she wondered out loud. She realized her mistake a second later only to find that Kiryu-kun had burst into laughter.

He's laughing, ah is he making fun of her?

Before she could scold him, however, she was briefly pulled into a warm embrace. His lips brushed against her hair as he murmured, "Thank you." Before pulling back.

...

.. Wahhhh? That was...that was very comfortable. Lila peeked at his expression, there seemed to be something different now. In contrast to earlier.

"Kiryu-kun? Um, I like it when you hug me. So do it again!"

Kiryu laughed, he's smiling again! He pulled her into his arms once again.

"Just call me Kiryu, Lila. From now on, we can spend many more days like this," he said softly.

"O--o---h um, I feel embarrassed... Ki...Kiryu." she stammered.

She's really embarrassed...

"K--kiryu.."

Despite this, Lila summed up her courage.

"Yeah---" she cuts him off by leaning forward and planting a kiss on his cheek. She pulled away from his embrace and quickly turned her back to him, "L-- let's go back. We have to tell our parents."

Her thoughts broke off when she felt the warmth of his hand on hers. Her gaze softened. It's possible huh? Even for somebody like her, to grab hold of someone's hand.

)

Present Day.

As the last notes from the song fell, her singing came to an end. Kiryu, she really does want to see him again. Once again, she wants to confirm it. Her feelings and his. This love of 13 years, is it something that can easily come to an end? Are the feelings she believed to be so strong actually weak. Her heart is filled with so much pain. She doesn't want to let go of his hand.

Audition Room.

She wants to keep singing with the same feelings from that time. Ever since then, Ruka has noticed something has changed about her singing. A change that's positive. From now onwards, even more like that.

"Helter-skelter: ready, go!

Come on!

Play ball!

Now it's summer, summertime, she

who moves first strikes a hit tune

Here comes the helper, ready to rumble

I'm gonna be number one and you can bet I'll walk the walk."

Arin is right, it's not impossible.

Ruka-chan was so awesome!

Yumeko high fives her friend back.

"That felt great!"

"Good work. Yosh, I'm all fired up!"

Ruka smiled softly.

"What is it?" Yumeko said.

"Nothing, you seemed a bit down lately, so I'm glad you feel better.."

Down? Oh… Yumeko shook her head, "No, sorry for worrying you. I'll do my best."

"Break a leg, Yumeko!" Ruka said.

"Yes!"

...…..

Alright, she can do this!

Yumeko stepped into the room, only to bump into someone. "Ah…"

It was Haruka.

As she recalled what occurred not too long ago between them; she flinched slightly. But he simply sighed, "We're having some problems with your song, can you wait?"

"Ah. Yes."

Haruka nodded and went past her towards the exit, as he shouted some instructions on the phone. A problem with her song?

___________________________________________________

What on earth is this mess? Did that stupid girl offend anyone? Geez, what a pain. Why does she cause him trouble even now? Haruka exhaled deeply as he made his way for the stairs, and followed the direction of the sound booth area.

His gaze darkened at the scene, and the ones in charge of the sound system froze upon seeing him.

"What, do you guys think you're doing?" he questioned.

"Uh...these girls said...they'd let us have sex with them for the next 5 minutes so.."

That time frame is Yumeko's audition slot.

Due to the amount of people auditions, they have no time to spare for extensions of any kind. So this was their plan? Think again.

"Move."

The workers at the sound system seemed startled but quickly hurried away. One girl however simply remained, "How about it Haruka-sama? You don't like that girl correct…" she trailed off, and her lips brushed against his ear, her fingers trailed along his shirt, "Why don't we have some fun instead?"

His gaze darkened, as he yanked the girl harshly of him and turned to the sound system. He didn't hesitate and quickly fixed the sound system.

___________________________________________________

Yumeko heard the sound of the familiar backing track, the rushing staff members stopped and the one in charge of the mic; quickly fixed hers up and hands it to her.

She has to sing.

She recalled the expression Haruka had when they bumped into each other. The usual cold gaze; and yet, fixing the sound this quickly… It can only be his work. How painful, this sort of feeling and yet she's somewhat glad. He's not doing this because he cares about her, it's probably for Ari-chan. She is glad that he found someone he truly cares about him.

"The magic that girls had been longing for

Is an unimaginable world full of miracles

Where you can sing when it's showtime

After changing, I'm perfectly ready

I feel like Cinderella."
