Ruki's P.O.V

As I laid in my bed I couldn't forget what she said. "No matter what, I want you to be happy." Just hearing that for some reason, calmed me down. The idea of someone knowing what occurred made me comfortable and yet I didn't want to tell her that. What happened today, was out of my character but after what happened.....

Flashback

I stared at the grocery list Lucy gave me for the recipes she wanted to make this week. I couldn't understand why she couldn't do it herself when it was her job nor could I understand why I even accepted doing it.

Why did she want brown eggs and I thought I had soba. I would have called her but she probably would have given me another lecture about maintaining good health and why I need to stop eating the dinner left over in the middle of the night.

I went into the aisle and grabbed the soba noodles. Next was the eggs-

"How can I tell Ruki?" That voice, it wasn't who I thought it was, was it? I walked in the direction of the voice to see Yui talking to Shin.

"You two haven't been together for nearly five months, so why do you think that he would be angry?" What were they talking about? He sighed before he pulled her into an embrace. "I think it would be best to tell him. If he hasn't moved on by now then I think you can wait but other than that it will be fine." She started to cry causing his grip to be tighter.

"I love him but not in the same way. Last month he didn't seem okay and the idea of telling him that I am pregnant is not going to help. What if he starts drinking?" My world froze as I heard what she said. She was pregnant? From the look of her, she didn't appear to be showing and it had been a whole five months, meaning that it was Shin's.

Now

The fact that she was pregnant with Shin's baby somehow brought the inner darkness out of me. I didn't know how but Lucy was going to change it.

What the hell was that? I fought the memory out of my mind only to see the tiny snowman from my vision staring at me. I quickly sat up causing it to fall back. It quickly sat up and stared at me.

Oh, Lucy was going to get it.

Lucy's P.O.V

I sat on the couch with Plue as Ruki sat across from me with the same emotionless look he always had on his face. "How am I supposed to think to myself in peace when you repeatedly interrupt it?" I must have left my door open and Plue wanting to understand how it was here, went to explore. I probably should have told him to stay with me before going to sleep. I stood up and bowed to him. Plue did the same.

"I'm sorry master." He sighed causing me to look up.

"What constellation is he?" How did he know about my magic? "I have been known about your magic, someone told me the day after you started to work for me."

"Someone?"

"Now tell me." I couldn't shake that thought but decided to continue that later.

"Canis Minor?" He arched a brow. "Is there something wrong?"

"I would have thought it would have been a dog." What did he mean?

"Well, he is one."

"He is not"

"He is, just look at him."

"Oi," His brows furrowed.

"Master maybe you are mistaken."

"Maybe you are." My brows furrowed.

"Oi" There had been a knock on the door causing me to stand up. I answered the door only to see the woman from the picture. The look in her eyes had been full of guilt but seeing me, the nervous look seemed to calm.

"Is Ruki here?" I nodded.

"He is here" Behind me had been a definite coldness. It was the same feeling Ruki gave off when he came home today. I looked behind me to see Ruki with a dark expression.

"Lucy, I want you to go in the back."

"M-"

"Now" That darkness in his eyes, it was fearful. I was afraid to leave it and yet I knew I had no choice. I forced myself to look away from them and nodded before I went into the back.

Ruki's P.O.V

As soon as I heard the door close I looked at Yui to see her starting down the hall. Her face had a pained yet relieved smile on it. It angered me. Why did she look so relieved to know that Lucy was here? "She's beautiful" She looked at me. "Is she your girlfriend?" I paused.

"If he hasn't moved on by now then I think you can wait but other than that it will be fine."  That look of relief had been because she felt better to tell me, the idea of me being over her somewhat calmed her down. Should I tell her the truth to make her feel my pain or tell her a lie and feel pain knowing that she is happy with someone else?
