Airis and Nagihiko have just finished their meal together with his family as their charas have fun in the corner, flying about. Nagihiko suggested her to take a bath, since they were all sweaty and tired from all those dancing.

Airis suddenly blushed, imagining if they will bathe together, having all kind of dirty thoughts.

Eira flew up to her and whispered, breaking her daydreaming "I know what you're thinking, you want to bathe with him don't you?"

"Wh...What? I'm not! Nagihiko is a guy anyways!" she whispered yelled, while fanning her face, trying to cool down.

"Airis?" Nagihiko spoke up, and she immediately froze up and immediately dropped her head. Airis forgotten that he was in the same room still, did he heard her?

"You know I am a guy?" Nagihiko said with a strained voice and his face paled. Airis, having no courage to look at him and just nodded, staring at her lap.

"How long did you know? No, how? How did you find out?"

"I've known since the beginning" Airis whispered.

"Beginning? Why didn't you mention anything?"

"Because you wanted to keep it to yourself, and I had no right to say anything." Airis tilted her head a little higher, peering through her eyelashes, looking at him. She decided to tell him the truth and raise up her head, facing him.

"To be honest, I'm not from this world." she paused and continued. "I know everything that happens here, you were someone from a anime, like a film. That's why I know everything about you."

A long pause, Nagihiko's face looks bewildered, not knowing what he should say.

"If you don't believe me, I know you had to cross dress because of your family's tradition, and eventually you will revert back to your male self after awhile. Also I knew everything about the charas and also the ending of the Easter and the Guardians war."

"So you're from another world, and I'm just a character from an anime?" Nagihiko repeated whatever Airis just said.

"Yes."

"You also knew that I was a guy in the beginning?"

"Yes."

"Why did you agree to this sleepover? When you know I'm a guy ?"

"Yes, because..uh..." she began to stammer

"Because she likes you!" Vanilla declared loudly and Airis' head snapped to her chara in horror.

"You like me? Is it true?" Nagihiko blushed slightly.

"Uh... No. I mean yes. Yes." Airis wished that she can just dig a deep hole and bury herself in it. Please god just kill me, have mercy on me, she wished with all her might.
