"I don't get it." Mitsuba said in a confuse tone. "She means, 'The rain may make you sick, but the rain do sometimes make you happy.'  If I wasn't mistaken." Mika explained. "Every raindrop holds a memory." again, the girl speak out deep words. 'She seems to be very wise.' Shinoa thought very deeply. "Follow me." The girl said. The girl led Shinoa and her gang to a cottage. It was small, but firm. As they all went inside the cottage, Shinoa and her friends closed their umbrellas, put down their bags and sat down on a wooden chair. They saw as the girl took off her cape. Her short hair has curls in the ends, color bluish black with highlights of pink, her eye shape is them same as Shinoa's and her eye color is blue. "I'll grab you some dry towels to dry yourselves." the girl said as she went upstairs. "Thanks but, no need, we brought our own." Shinoa said as she bent down and open her bag and fetch her dry towel. "Okay then. I'll brewed you some tea." the girl said and went to the kitchen. "That girl seems strange." Kimizuki said in a doubtful tone as he dried his hair. "I think she's nice." Yoichi said as he smiles. While everyone is talking about the strange girl. Shinoa didn't mind, nor didn't she listen or give her opinion. She kept on glancing Yū, she stared at him for a moment. 'Yū' she thought. This make Yū noticed Shinoa. "Shinoa? Are you okay?" Yū said. Shinoa didn't respond. "Shinoa." again, Yū called out, this time he leaned his face closer to hers. Shinoa, wake up from her trance. "Oh Yū!" Shinoa, finally respond. "Are you okay?" Yū asked sternly. "Why yes. Why do you ask? Do you even think I will be froze just like what happened to you when you eat ice pop quickly that you just have a freeze brain." Shinoa quickkly respond and teased. "Hey, I was just excited for dessert that time." Yū groaned. Shinoa didn't reply instead she laughed. "Tea is ready!" the curl-haired girl. We all went inside the kitchen, inside, there are two dining tables and four chairs at each table. Yū, Mika, Kimizuki and Yoichi sat down on the first table while Shinoa and Mitsuba sit with the girl.
    "My name is Nina." the girl introduced. "It issuch a pleasure to meet you. I am Shinoa, and this is Mitsuba." Shinoa replied. "The black-haired boy is Yūichirou, but you can call him Yū, the blonde one is Mika, the brown-haired big is Yoichi, the pink-hared is..." Mitsuba stopped talking when Shinoa interrupt, "The pink one is Kimizuki, but you can call him Pink Girl." Shinoa teased as her eyes narrowed. Yū spitted out the fresh tea he just drinking while listening to the three girls, he bursted out in laughing. "Pink Girl!" Yū said while laughing. "Seriously?" Kimizuki said angrily. "Just kidding." Shinoa replied, "You don't have to call him Pink Girl Nina." she turned to Nina. Nina smirked, "You're some sort of a joker." Nina said. After that, it was getting late, "Us four will be sleeping here in the living room." Yū said as he prepared the sleeping bags. "You sure? Cause sometimes, you four are in deep sleep you never even feel someone has trespassed." again, Shinoa mocked them four. "I will watch that mouth of yours Shinoa!" Kimizuki shouted angrily. "Its okay. Shinoa and Mitsuba will be sleeping in my room while I guard." Nina explained calmly. "No, I will guard." Mika said as he went to the door. Nina didn't mind Mika's generosity. "Suit Yourself." Nina said and she went inside the room with the two girls.
     Inside Nina's room, there were three beds, Mitsuba, went straightly to bed and fell fast asleep, but Shinoa, Shinoa slowly crept up the bedroom door, she stared at Yū. "Inlove huh?" Nina said as she approached to Shinoa. "That Yū seems to be the one you are staring at." said Nina as she crossed her arms. Shinoa bit her own lip, "I am not staring at Yū, and why would I stare to a dumb one like him." Shinoa replied as she walked towards the bed. "I can sense what you're feeling Shinoa. Quit the ignoring, okay." Nina replied and went back to her bed. 'Everyone knows that I don't like Yū, if I do like him, there must be some evidence.' Shinoa thought deeply and went straight to bed.
      Outside the cottage, Mika stood there ignoring the rain and the cold wind. He then heard a rustling sound. A shiver felt on Mika's spine. He held his sword out, beside the cottage, there was tree. Mika pointed out his sword on the tree, he took a closer look, a strong wind just blew by blowing Mika away making him fell on his back. "It is just a wind blowing through the trees." Mika said as he stood up. All of the sudden, the door behind him opened, as soon as the door fully opened, he saw Yū coming out. "Yū?" Mika wondered. "Hey, I just can't stand sleeping at other's houses especially we haven't know about him or her yet." Yū explained, 'and also the time when Shinoa gazed at me.' Yū thought. "Are you doubting Nina?" Mika asked. "No." Yū replied. Suddenly, the door opened again, this time, the one who come out is Shinoa. "Yū, Mika?" Shinoa wondered. "I'll leave you guys." Mika said as he went inside. There was silence, a very long pause between Shinoa and Yū. "So what brings you here?" they both asked the same time to break the silence. "Oh I just can't sleep." then again, they both answered the same time. Again, there was a long pause. "Shinoa." Yū called out to her to break the silence. "Huh?" Shinoa looked at Yū. Yū sighed, "Do you think that the Hiragi Family caught all the vampires and they are still out there looking for us?" Yū asked. "Am I even included in your question about the Hiragi Family?" Shinoa didn't answer the question instead she asked too. "No." Yū answered, "But do you think your family is looking for us?" Yū asked again. "Fifty fifty." Shinoa answered. "What?! Seriously, you are not sure if they are looking for us or not?!" Yū replied in shock and madness. Shinoa sighed. "Look Yū, there could be a chance that my family won't be looking for, but there is also a chance that they're looking for us." Shinoa explained deeply, she looked down to the ground, "I believed that, that the army are after me, because I just saved a vampire, and I betrayed them." Shinoa said as she bit her lip. Yū opened his mouth, thinking on what he can reply.
