        I went straight to the training place. And waved at Frost and Flake as I ran towards them. Flake waved back while Frost has his hand crossed on his chest, looking at the other direction. Like always acting as the cool one. And like always Flake was being kind and friendly. He welcomed me warmly. While Frost complained about me being always late. I giggled on his complains as he was looking cute. He stopped talking and started looking at me.
" Okay!... Enough talking let's start training." I said and clapped my hand twice.
" Yes, Sensei!" They said together.
" Good!.... So, for today we are going to do dance practice." I said, and spinned around my axis.They both smiled at me.
" Why are you two looking at me like that?" I said, looking at there cute smiling faces.
" Your looking really happy! " Said Frost.
" Yes you have a strange glow on your face." Said Flake. And blushed a little.
_No lie! I am happy..... I had a lovely time with Tom. He's kinda nice._ I thought to myself, smiling.
" So are you going to teach us some moves. Because we are not good at dancing." Asked Frost, hesitating.
" Yes!... I'm going to teach you some easy moves. And then you may practice them yourself." I said.
" Great! " Said Flake, joyfully. He always ask me to teach them my moves, that I use in my battle with them.
" Okay! Copy me." I said and performed a simple dance. And they started copying me. It was kinda fun. To see them copy me. Even though they need a lot of practice, to do it well. They tried there best, and I was happy, I knew it will take time for them to get used to. After all, it's there first time. 
      We danced for almost three hours. And Frost and Flake got really tired. They stopped practicing (dancing) and sat down on the ground. There legs crossed. I stopped as well, looked at them. And sat down with them. I gave them a warm smile.
" How come your still not tired.... We have been practicing for hours." Asked Frost.
" Because I'm used to it." I said and laughed a little.
" Yes... Your right!.... We can't keep up with you. " Said Flake, and smiled. Then I stood up, smiled at them two and turned to have my leave. It was enough training for today. Then suddenly, I gasped and froze in my position. I saw Tom standing Infront of me.
" .....W-What are you doing here? " I asked. He gave me his charming smile. And I blushed.
" I kinda.... Followed you!" He said, still smiling. And I wished I can punch his beautiful face with my fist.
" Your an idiot!... An absolute idiot!.... How dare you follow me!" I said, a bit angryly.
" Don't worry I won't tell anything to Demon King. " He Said. " By the way, how long have been training these two? I had observed improvement in there skills, but I didn't knew that was because of your training. It seem like your a really good Sensei." He giggled.
" .... How can I be sure that you won't tell anything to Demon King? " I asked.
" You have to trust me..... I promise I won't say a word.... But! "
" But?... what? " I asked glaring at him, my arms crossed over my chest.
" But I will do that only if you let me come here anytime and let me see how you train them? "
" What! I can't do that." I said.
" Please Sensei! let him.... Sir Tom won't cause any trouble for us. You can trust him. " Said they twins at the same time. I turned and looked at them standing together with there adorable eyes looking at me. I blinked, then a smile appeared on my lips. _These two idiots are just really cute.... and I love them.... My lovely students._ I thought, sighed with my eyes closed.
".... Fine!...."
" Oh great!.... Thanks a lot Frost and Flake." Said Tom. Looking at the twins, with a warm smile.
" Well today training is over.... You might come tomorrow if you want." I said to Tom.
" Toddles!" I said and left.
        After that day Tom started coming to that place along Frost and Flake. And I don't mind his company. Later, He started helping me with Frost and Flake training. I realized that he is much stronger than he looks, after all he is the second high rank demon. I think I would like to have a battle with him. I want to know if I can defeat a seconds high rank demon. But I never said that to him I usually didn't get the chance.
       One night I went to the training place and saw Tom waiting, but Frost and Flake were no where to be found. I was a little confused. When I reached near Tom, he welcomed me with a warm smile. He and I had become good friend in these few days. He's really kind, caring, and funny. I am really happy to have him as my friend.
" Where are Frost and Flake?...." I asked.
" Unfortunately! They can't come here today." He said, without smiling. I got a little worried after hearing.
" What do mean they can't come here today? And why?" I asked.
" Relax!.... Demon King has assign them a task, and because of that they can't come here. " He said with a smile.
" A Task? "
" Yes... They have to go somewhere,  for that work. There are not in the mansion. But they will return by tomorrow noon. "
" Oh!.... Is the task dangerous? " He giggled.
" Don't worry! It's not a difficult task and they will come back safe and sound. " He said with a warm smile. I blushed.
" Oh!... Okay! " I said and looked away. " Can I ask you something....."
" .... What is it?" He asked, politely.
" Well.... I was thinking that.... Maybe...." I paused.
" We are friends aren't we... Than you don't need to hesitate. " He said leaning close. My face turned more read. He was looking really hot. I have to admit, among all demons, he is the most handsome one. But just a little less than Demon King. I giggled.
" What happened, why are you laughing.... Did I said something funny." He said without smiling.
" No it's not that.... " I said. " Anyway, I want to ask you that if you would like to have a battle with you. "
" A battle! well that's a good idea to spare our time." He said happily. It seem like he was excited for, battling with me.
" Okay so let's start!" I said and we took our places.
" Are you ready!" He asked, excited.
" Yup!... Let's begin! " I said and we started our fight.
         I was using my usual kitana. While he, on the other hand had summoned his magic sword. His sword, dark and evil. I kinda felt envy of him because of his amazing sword. So I decided to take it from him with a specific battling technique. With a fast move, I took his sword and replacing it with mine. I was so happy that I screamed in joy like a kid. Tom on the other hand was shocked about what just happened. But when he saw me so happy, he laughed.
" Oh my, you really like my sword, a lot." Said Tom.
" Like!... I love it!" I said jumping like a kid.
" So shall we continue our fight."
" Of course! " I said, seriously. I was done with my celebration. And we started our fight from where we have left.
        We had been battling for hours. But I have to admit it's the best fight of my life. We both are laughing and dodging others attack. We are really enjoying our fight. I don't want to end this fight, and niether did he. So, we continue like that until, I finally felt like it's time to end it. I stopped. And he realized what was about to happen next. He grinned. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath. And suddenly, a memory came to my mind a memory of a special battling technique I have never tried before. I opened my eyes and performed the same technique I saw. And with that I won the battle. With Tom own sword I defeated him, I placed it on his neck as he feel on his knees. I was breathing heavily, catching my breath. Then I started laughing, and he joined. As we both enjoyed the battle, a lot. He looked really amused by last technique. He stood up and I moved back.
" Where did you learn to fight like that.... Because Miss's you just defeated the SECOND HIGH RANK DEMON. " He said giggling. He didn't mind losing from me, losing from a human. Maybe, because he really consider me as a friend.
" I don't know... I... Just have memories of these technique. Which comes to my mind, unexpectedly. " I said. _Every time these technique are performed by someone in my memories....and that person isn't me. Maybe that person can be my Sensei. But I don't remember having a sensei._ I Thought to myself. I was really tired. " I think this is all for today.... Toddles! "
" Good night!.... If it's still night. "
_I hope it's still night..._ I thought to myself and left.
       When I came out of the training place. I looked right up at the sky. And gladly it was still night. The sky was still dark. But I guess there isn't much time till, it will be sun rise. So I started running towards my room. I was tired but not like before when I had my battle with Frost and Flake. Due to everyday training with them my body has become used to it. So I don't feel the pain, I had face before when I had my fight for the first time with high power.
       I reached my room opened the door and went inside. Demon King was still sleep. I went to my couch and slept. Later, I woke up at noon. I stood up from my couch. The room was empty. I went to the balcony. And breath in fresh air. I was feeling fresh again. Then suddenly I looked down at the garden. My smile disappeared. My eyes closed.
  _....Dear Demon King! I miss you.... I don't why your avoiding me these days, but I wish..... I wish you knew how much I love you. And I can wait for you, forever._ I thought to myself, smiling, and opened my eyes, looked up at the sky.
      At Evening, I was going up stairs when I saw Tom going somewhere. I stopped. Then after some thinking I decided to follow him. I followed him for some while than, I called his name. He stopped, and turned. When he saw me, a smile appeared on his lips. I smiled back.
" I'm glad to see you!.... How are you!" Asked Tom.
" I'm good.... Have Frost and Flake, returned." I asked, smiling.
" No... Not yet!..... I heard Demon King say that it might take them sometime. Maybe they will come back till tomorrow. " He said, trying to comfort me.
" Oh! Is that so.... Well! it mean I can have good sleep tonight." I said. And started walking, to went to my room. But then suddenly I thought of something and stopped.
" Tom!... Can I ask you something. " I asked. I didn't look back.
" What is it?" He asked, politely.
" Why is Demon King so busy these days?" I asked. My voice has sadness, but I wish he hadn't noticed it.
" Well yes, Demon King is really busy these days. But what can I say, after all he's the King, he has to deal with may things you know nothing about..... Why are you asking, by the way." He said.
" .... Never mind! " I said and started walking again.
        The Next Day, I went to the garden. Since it snow falled  yesterday night. I went near the fountain, wearing Demon King black jacket to keep myself warm. Then when I reached the fountain, I stopped. Then leaned to look at my reflection in the water. I touched the fountain water with my finger tip. And then suddenly a snow ball hit me at the back, out of no where. I turned, and a wide smile appeared on my lips. Frost and Flake was standing Infront of me, grinning.
" You two finally came back...." I said, politely.
" Yup!... And we are ready for a battle." Said Frost.
" Oh really! Are you sure. " I asked.
" Don't worry we came back at night, and we are fully charged now." Said Flake.
" Okay! Let's start." I said and we started our training near the fountain without worrying about anything, that what if someone sees us. But it was fun. I kinda missed them. After all they are so cute and there company is really fun. At the end of our fight I won, as usual. And we started laughing. Frost and Flake then start telling me about where they had gone. And I realized that they have gone somewhere really really far away. They didn't shared much details, like why they had gone there? And is there work done? And I didn't asked them anything too. I was happy, that they are back with me. And I spent my entire day along Frost and Flake.
        At Night, I felt a heaviness from inside, so I decided to go out in the garden. I went to my favorite place in the garden, to the fountain. When I reached. I was already feeling much relaxed. The magic fountain had a bench to sit, at it's other side. I sat there and looked up at the cloudy sky. It was full moon that night. The moon rays were falling on the garden. It was really peaceful. The garden wasn't fully covered with darkness. The light from the mansion was coming at the garden. I sat there for a long while. At that cold bench at the most cold night and just wearing Demon King jacket but I didn't felt much cold at all, Instead I was feeling warm and comfortable.
        Then suddenly, I felt, someones footsteps in the snow. And then he sat beside me. I opened my eyes and turned my face to look at him. I gasped. Demon King was sitting beside me, silently. Suddenly I felt a mixture of emotions. I want to cry, and smile, and hug him tight. But I managed to control myself, and my emotions.
" Demon King!.... I missed you." I said, my voice filled with softness and love. He remained silent. I looked up at the sky again. Closed my eyes, breathed in the garden lovely flower scent air. And smiled. " You had been really busy these days." I said.
" Yes, I have." He said, in his clam voice. " I want to ask you something."
" What is it?" I said, politely.
" How long have you been training Frost and Flake." He asked, after some time. I looked at him in surprise. Then I stood up. Came Infront of him. He looked up to meet my gaze, and I blushed.
" Can you read my mind. " I asked. He looked away.
" No, I can't."
" Then, how did you knew I train Frost and Flake. " I asked, confused.
" I saw you battling with them this morning, so I realized that the improvement they are having might be because of you. " He said." I saw you from the above window. The same window which show the garden fountain. "
" Oh! So that's how you knew it!.... But than, what about the white rose. How did you knew about that?" I asked.
" Well! lucky guess.... " He said and looked at me. I blushed.
" Oh!" I said. " I be honest with you, I do train Frost and Flake. " I said, after a pause. He was silent.
" You don't mind that, do you?" I said after some while.
" No, I don't.... Tell me, do they know, your a human. " He asked. I shook my head gently. Then I sat down beside him.  And we both remained silent, enjoying each others company, It was the most beautiful night of my life.
" Do you still love me." He asked after some time.
" Yes, I still love you the same. " I said and blushed. I didn't looked at him. But I can feel his eye on me. He sighed.
" Your really stupid, I still can't believe that how can you fall in love with me I destroyed your village, and killed your loved ones. "
" You can say whatever you want.... But I just can't stop loving you. " I said. I looked at him from the corner of my eyes. And I realized he was blushing.
" Your making a mistake." He said, gravely.
" I don't care, if I'm making a mistake. And if it is a mistake, I have never been so much happy to make a mistake like this." I said. He stood up. Said nothing, turned his back towards me.
" Let's go to our rooms, its quite late." He said and started walking. I stood up and kept looking at him. Then I finally decided to follow him.
