In the Chen Zhu palace. DiMaria who is laying in her bed abruptly woke up as she looked towards the ceiling. She then began to get up from the bed as she held her head. She looked around and notice the room she was in is bigger then her room back home in Tokyo. It was kind of dark due to the sun setting, so she had very little visibility. She looked towards her right and saw a desk lamp which she turned it on and illuminated half of the room. She then proceeded to stand up and head towards the window which is covered by the curtains. She moved them to the side and she was left in amazement at the site she was looking at.

DiMaria: This

DiMaria: This...

She stops as she remembers that she isn't in Japan anymore. She couldn't believe the beautiful site she was beholding. DiMaria was mesmerized, a sudden knock brought her back to reality. She turned around and didn't say anything. After a few more knocks a familiar voice can be heard.

Hotaru: Mari? Are you awake? I'm coming in.

She opens the door and steps inside. She looked at DiMaria and smiled.

Hotaru: Good to see you awake. Seems that little nap did wonders, didn't it?

DiMaria ignores her and turned away looking back towards the city.

DiMaria: Where's Natsu?

Hotaru: huh?

DiMaria: Don't act dumb with me Hotaru. I'm not a little girl anymore. I heard what you told Tsukuyomi. Now answer me, where is Natsu?

Hotaru: What good would it do if I told you? It's not like you're ever going to see him.

DiMaria turned around and moved so quick Hotaru had no chance of reacting. The next thing she knew she was being lifted by her shirt. When she goes to look she noticed DiMaria with an extremely pissed off look in her eyes. This made her chuckle.

Hotaru: I always forget you're taller then me.

DiMaria grips her shirt even tighter lifting her up higher.

Hotaru: Okay, okay I'll tell you. I'll answer any question you have just put me down.

DiMaria let's her go and she lands in her feet. She begins to fix her shirt as it is now wrinkled.

Hotaru: This is my favorite shirt too...aw man.

DiMaria: You're lucky I didn't rip your favorite shirt off.

Hotaru: Right, Right. Well your question was, where did I send Natsu? To be honest I have no idea where I sent him.

DiMaria: What?!

Hotaru: It's the honest truth. I opened a portal and sent him some where I just don't know where.

DiMaria: How can you open portals and not know where you send people?

Hotaru: Tsukuyomi might haven given me these powers but she didn't write a instructions manual on how they worked. All I know is that I sent him somewhere were he won't be a problem to us anymore. He isn't dead, if that's what you're wondering.
