I sigh after paying for a new dress to be tailored for Zane. That's 4 million for a piece of advice which I've heard many times in my life.
I shake my head. "He better thank the rulers that I love him."
"Love who?" Ren asks and looks up from his volleyball strategy book.
"Me. I love me." I reply.
"Oh." Ren goes back to reading when hearing my narcissistic words.
I smile and go back to texting with Melanie.
After a while Lion flies down and sits on the couch obviously in a bad mood.
I stop texting and ask her, "What's wrong?"
"Don't talk to me." Lion snaps.
I shrug my shoulders and not caring.
"Wow! Are you really not going to ask again? You midget! I didn't think your heart was as small as your body!" Lion shouts.
I stare at her with a blank look. I then turn to Asra. "Did I do something?"
Asra looks away not wanting to get involved.
I turn back to Lion who is ranting over my 'small heart'. "So what made you so upset?"
"It's Ocean. That idiot!" Lion replies.
"What did he do?"
"He's playing in the sink causing water to splash everywhere."
"Just don't go near the sink. I'll clean it up later."
"Urgh! You don't get it." Lion complains and flies away.
"Is she going through her pixie puberty?" I ask not knowing why she's suddenly so concerned about Ocean playing in the sink. I stand up and go look for myself.
No wonder Lion was upset. Ocean has practically flooded the bathroom. I quickly turn off the tap before anymore water wastes away.
"What are you doing Miss?!" Ocean asks his voice a few tones higher from surprise.
"Play with the water you got and clean up afterwards."
Ocean goes to refute but I look at him which he shuts up and obeys.
I walk out of the bathroom and back downstairs to check if Melanie has texted me. I see my phone flashing but Melanie hasn't texted. Instead it's Yuu.
Yuu: Do you want to celebrate for Benjamin's death?
Kara: Sure. Where?
Yuu: I'll pick you up
Huh? Pick me up? Is he downstairs?
I look towards the door and before I can even stand up the doorbell rings. I quickly rush to it and look out the peephole. Yuu is standing there.
"Hi." I say after opening the door. "Sorry I didn't know you'd be here. If I did I would have surely changed into something else if given time."
Yuu looks down to see me in Orion's shirt and a pair of short tights. On my feet are house slippers. "No worries. I'll give you time to change."
"Okay." I nod and hurry upstairs. I find my clothes while Ren goes downstairs to see who's the guest.
"Oh! Yuu Yachi!" Ren exclaims when seeing Yuu getting a cup of water.
"Oh, Ren. What a coincidence?" Yuu smiles.
Ren nods. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm taking Chichi to celebrate." Yuu replies with an even wider smile.
Ren pauses. "Chichi?"
Yuu nods. "It's what people call her."
Ren glances down before smiling. "You must be very close?"
"Yeah." Yuu agrees.
I finish changing and walk down the stairs. "We'll be going now Ren. I've called Reiji over so he'll be here in 10. Bye." I put on my shoes and my eyes look over Asra who hasn't gotten any expression. "Bye Asra."
She looks up but seeing Yuu a dangerous glint flashes in her eyes. She turns away.
I knit my eyebrows not knowing what happened. I quickly follow Yuu out of the door.
Yuu brings me to a nearby cafe. We take a seat and order.
"So how does it feel to kill Benjamin?" Yuu asks sipping his coffee.
"It's pleasant. Not as pleasant as killing Henry would be but avenging my sister it's great." I fanitly smile.
"Don't worry. Everything else will go smoothly and before you even know it the revenge plan would be finished." Yuu reassures.
I nod. "I hope so. I don't want any obstacles appearing last minute."
Yuu pauses when hearing that but he covers it up when seeing that I've noticed. "Yeah. That would be horrible. Your plans breaking down before you even though you've worked so hard."
I smile knowing that he gets it. Our order comes and we change topics.
"So are you planning it on making it to national?" I ask Yuu.
He thinks it over. "I hope so. Like I said before it would be horrible seeing plans break down when you give it your all. That's what volleyball is for me. I saw it and knew that I wanted to play. I worked hard to get into Osaka High volleyball team."
I nod thinking of something.
Yuu goes on. "I actually wanted to play volleyball after you went to that match. You couldn't get over talking about it. You said it was something amazing. One not like any other."
"Oh?"
"I left because I wanted to travel and settle down with my passion. Volleyball has been my passion after that day. Hearing you talk about the spiker was the reason why I play. I hope to make a name for myself and one day reach past the international level. I might even want to play in Renata volleyball if I can. All so I can be recognized for my passion."
"You should chase your dreams." I say when he looks at me waiting for my thoughts. "I also want to find my passion and settle down in the future. Although that passion hasn't been founded nor will it be the only thing I would be doing in my life. At least it would be there. It could be my hobby and it might be the only hobby I want in the future."
"What about the family or the crown?" Yuu asks.
"That's why I haven't found my hobby yet. Until I am officially crowned queen will I be able to cut loose of all the strings attached. I could have more freedom. Travel for weeks without having to worry about Edith being mad. I can create my own hours and have more time to spend with loved ones." I smile when imagining what my future could be like. Troubless is one word for it.
Yuu smiles brightly. "Chichi. I hope you can achieve your dream."
"Thank you Yuu."
"I also want to achieve mine."
I start to get confuse didn't we discuss this? But even with that thought I nod.
"But I want to achieve my dream with you."
I look at him.
"Chichi, I like you." Yuu says with gentle eyes.
