I do not know how long I cried for but it felt like hours. The entire time Illumi held me in his arms and whispered soothing words into my ear. As soon as I had calmed down Illumi unwrapped his arms from my dainty figure and leaned back so that he could have a look at my face.

I discovered that we were sitting on a white lawson couch in what seemed to be a living room. It was a beautiful living room with expensive looking furniture. As I examined the room I realized that everything was absolutely spotless. There's wasn't a trace of dirt or dust anywhere. My mind was too distracted, though, to be able to further examine the room and to figure out where exactly we resided.

"Why are you crying?" Illumi asked me as he gently grabbed my small face in his large hands. My eyes met his. All of my attention was now on him. He searched my eyes for answers as he wiped my tears away. I felt like crying even more but I did not allow the tears to flow this time. I controlled my emotions.

I shrugged, not trusting my voice to speak, and looked away from him. I did not know why I was crying. I felt so sad but without a reason to begin with. It made me feel ridiculous in a way.

"You can tell me" Illumi insisted in a comforting way. He was always worried for me.

I felt as if I had a lump was stuck in my throat and as soon as I would open my mouth to speak, some horrid sound would come out that would probably scare Illumi off into the next room.

Illumi sighed, understanding that I wasn't going to be talking anytime soon. He dropped his hands from my face and placed them on my hips. I took this opportunity to fully observe the atmosphere around me. I noticed that in the corner of the room, a door was slightly kept ajar which peaked at a beautiful kitchen with white marble counters and white plywood cabinets. The house was extremely clean which led me to believe that it was most likely recently cleaned by someone.

"Illumi?" I asked, my voice wavering. I turned my attention back to Illumi who's lap I was sitting on. He had been regarding me the entire time.

"Where are we?" I asked.

My first guess what that Illumi rented out some expensive hotel room but then I quickly dismissed that thought. We were on Sibitzu Island which was nothing like Yorknew city; meaning no fancy buildings or fancy hotels. My second guess what that we were in a house but it was far too clean and proper for someone to live here. Unless they were never around.

"I found him" Illumi said with a small smile. He rubbed his thumb against my hip.

"Found who?" I asked, confused.

"Your brother" he responded calmly, his smile not faltering.

I was beyond shocked. I probably looked ridiculous, the way I was staring at him. No words came out of my mouth even though I had so many questions. Like How? When? Where? Just an explanation.

Illumi went on to explain, "After you fainted, a women walked up to me and told me to follow her to her husband."

"I don't understand." I cut him off, still confused.

He gave me a blank look. After having known him for so many years, I could tell that he was probably annoyed that I cut him off.

Immediately I apologized and urged him to continue speaking with a motion of my hands.

"She told me that she recognized you as her husband's younger sister." He explained, "At first I wasn't sure if I should trust her but then she told me that she had been watching us all day asking around for her husband. She explained that she already met you back when she was engaged to Mamoru but then they had to leave due to urgent circumstances." Illumi said.
