(Hey guys! I'm trying to update a lot because I have a new book in mind and I only want to write it after this one *sigh* anyways back to da story.)

• March 16th|11pm •
○ Aalia's P.O.V ○

We had dinner pretty late. After I was done eating I went to my room immediately, I was so tired and the last couple of days had been so stressful, I just needed some sleep.

I opened the door and waited for Kuro to enter then I closed the door. Kuro jumped onto the window seat and gazed at the stars. I went into the bathroom and changed into my night gown. I jumped onto my bed and fell asleep.

• March 17|4am •

*rustle rustle* I woke up to a strange sound. I rubbed my eyes and stood up. I realized I left my window open and I looked out of it. I thought the sound might have been an animal in the bush. So I just closed the window and went back to bed.

• 8am •

I had finished getting ready and Kuro and I headed to the dining room for breakfast. As I was walking I passed by Ryuuji's room and I heard him yell.

"Shit!" I stopped in my tracks and walked up to the door. I knocked softly. I heard some things fall and he then opened the door.

"Oh..hey Aalia"

"Ryuuji are you okay?" I noticed he was hiding his arm behind his back. As he spoke I was focused on his arm.

"*cough* yeah I'm totally fine *cough*" he smiled with pain.

I raised my eyebrow "Okay" I smiled at him. As he was distracted I grabbed his arm.

"Hey" he said in protest and he pulled his arm back. But I didn't let go. I lifted up his sleeve and saw a big black bruise.

"Ryuuji" I gently touched it and he flinched with pain.

"What happened?" I pushed him back and closed the door. He laid on his bed and spoke.

"I might have broken it"

"Might have? Let me see it" Kuro jumped on the bed next to him.

"No I'm fine"

"Ryuuji" I crossed my arms and frowned at him.

"*sigh* fine, mom" he chuckled and that cause me to laugh.

I sat on his bed and looked at his arm. "This might feel weird." He just looked at me. I put my right hand on his bruise and closed my eyes. I searched for a source of energy from the wound. When I located it, it felt strong. I took a deep breath and focused my energy on the wound.

I felt light headed, but I knew he was being healed. When I opened my eyes he was looking at his arm with a shocked expression.

"Wow! How did you do that?" He kept on moving his arm around.

"It's a power I recently discovered." I stood up and walked to the door. "Are you going to have breakfast?"

"Uh...no..no I'm not hungry" he smiled.

"Okay, I'll see you later. Come on Kuro" Kuro jumped off the bed and followed me.

When I got to the table only Yumi was sitting there.

"Aalia" she said with a piece of toast in her mouth.

"Hehe hey Yumi" I sat next to her as Kenta placed my breakfast in front of me. It was scrabbled eggs with toast and a cup of coffee.

"Where's Junior?" I took a sip of my coffee.

"He found one of his best friends and they wanted to hang out today" Yumi seemed so happy, way too happy.

I smiled and leaned over. "Why are you so happy?"

"Oh...erm...I'm...I'm not"

"You're stuttering. Something is up. Tell me"

"*sigh* fine. Well you see erm...me and Junior.....we...we're...dating."

"Eeeeeekkk" we both screamed.

"I'm so happy for you!" I squealed. We just sat there laughing and eating.

"My lady I have a message from A.T." Kenta walked in with a stack of papers.

"What is it?" I looked at him.

"A.T. has informed me that he cannot handle all of your father's paperwork and that he wants you to learn how to do them. So you can be prepared for the future." He adjusted his glasses.

"Okay, thank you. Please leave the papers on my desk." After Kenta left I turned to Yumi.

"*sigh* after I eat I know I'll have a lot to do."

"Hehe. Oh Aalia I meant to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"Did you see the man hiding under your window?"

"Huh?" I dropped my fork on the floor. "Oooooopppps" I immediately picked it up. "What do you mean?'

"There was a man hiding in the bushes under your bedroom"

"Really?! So that's what that noise was. What happened to him?"

"Empleado (sigh) chased him, but the guy was too fast"

"*sigh*" I leaned the back of my head against my chair.

"What do you think he wanted?"

"I don't know. But if he comes back again, I'll teach him a lesson. Now if you'll excuse me I have some paperwork to do." I smiled at her and walked to the office that I barely used. It was a couple doors away from my room.

I sat down the chair. It felt just like my dad's old chair.

☆flashback☆

I remember when I was five years old.

"Weeeeeeeee" I was spinning around in my dad's office chair when the door opened. I jumped under the desk and held my knees do my chest.

"Hmmmm I wonder where she could be" I heard my dad say. I giggled slightly but covered my mouth as soon as I did.

"Oh well, I guess I'll look somewhere else" I heard the door close and I came out from under the desk.

"Gotcha" he picked me up and started tickling me.

"Hahhaha" after he stopped tickling me he hugged me and we laughed.

☆ End of Flashback ☆

I smiled as I picked up my pen and began doing the paperwork.

• 6pm •

"Just.....one...more sig-nature" I was finally done with all the paperwork. My hand was hurting and my eyes were red. I leaned back in my chair and sighed.

"No wonder my dad was always in a bad mood"

*knock knock*

"Come in!" I said as I put all the papers in a pile.

"My lady I brought you a cup of tea" Sarah said softly as she walked in with a tray.

"Thank you" I smiled warmly at her.

"Elizabeth has prepared you Chocolate Island which is a rich chocolate mousse on a fudge brownie Island in milk chocolate sauce and vanilla bean anglaise, and some Earl Grey tea"

"Thank you"

"No problem my lady" she walked out of the room. And I ate and drank my tea.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After 30 minutes I decided to go out to the pond and relax.

I sat on the edge of the pond and dipped my feet in it. It was so peaceful and relaxing. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

I heard the leaves in the tree move very loudly and I immediately stood up. I heard a voice and jumped.

"My lady it's dangerous out here, go inside."

When I saw it was Kenta I calmed down.

"Thank you" I quickly walked back into the house and into my room. I saw Kuro on the window-seat drinking milk.

I sat next to him and rubbed his head. When he was done I put the bowl away and put my feet up. Kuro laid in a ball shape on my stomach. I gazed outside the window as I caressed his fur.

After a while I fell asleep with the window open.

I was having a dream that someone was grabbing me and pulling me from the window. I woke up in a shock and Kuro jumped off of me. I stood up and closed the window.

"Sorry Kuro. Let's go to bed" I pulled the covers over us and I snuggled with Kuro as I fell asleep.

~ 5 days later ~

• March 21 •

It's been a couple day now, and I've been having this feeling that someone is following me. I feel like someone is watching everything I do.

I have been too scared to leave my room. Ryuuji stops by now and then to make sure I'm okay.

I have been really confused about my feelings towards him. Before I knew that I loved him, but now I'm not sure. I realized how big our friendship was and I really didn't want to ruin it.

I feel like he might feel the same way. We haven't talked about the kiss or our feelings lately and I'm too nervous to bring it up.

I had my windows locked ever since that dream. Right now I was resting on my bed staring at the ceiling.

"Aalia what's wrong?" Kuro sat on my stomach.

"I have a feeling I'm being watched. It's really scary, I can't sense the person, it's just a gut feeling"

"I'll go take a look for you" Kuro jumped off of me and went through the cat door that had been placed in the door.

"Kuro!" He was already gone, so I just stayed there.

○ Kuro's P.O.V ○

I ran out into the garden and looked for something suspicious. I kept on walking around, the garden was pretty big.

After a while I could smell someone. I walked slowly up to a bush, before I could look at the bush a mouse ran out.

"Must...not....MOUSE!" I couldn't help it, I had to catch the mouse. I ran so fast.

○ Anonymous Person P.O.V ○

I saw the cat come closer and closer. I couldn't be discovered at this moment. I threw a mechanical mouse out the bush and and the cat ran after it, just as planned.

I quickly left the bush to return to my master with the information.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I arrived at his mansion within 2 hours, on foot. I was tired, but if I didn't report my information as soon as possible, I would be in serious trouble.

I walked into the building and showed the guard my ID. He opened the door and I walked in. As soon as I walked in, my friend Mark walked up to me.

"He's waiting for you" Mark chuckled and walked away.

I frowned and walked into my masters office.

As I walked in I saw a bunch of prostitutes around him. I ignored them and kneeled down on one knee.

"I have returned"

"Good. So David, what have you found?"

I stood up and began to speak. "I have the address of four escaped prisoners. Ryuuji, Junior, Yumi and Aalia"

His eyes went wide at the last name, he smirked and spoke.

"I see." He laughed evily. "She thought she could escape"

"Sir what are your plans" one of his guards spoke.

"Oh you'll see." He smirked as one of the girls poured him some sake.

He laughed evily, it was so evil that I flinched at the sound of it.

"Bring me my head researcher" he screamed at his guard.

"Yes Alexander" the man ran out the door.

Alexander crossed one leg over the other and smirked.

"I'll get them. Muahahaha"

(Haha after re-reading this chapter I realize how lame it is. Oh well XD hope you enjoyed the lameness)
