I was silently reading on the couch when I heard a knock on the door. It most likely wasn't the police, since the news had died down lately. But then again...I went into rage mode just last week and realeased large amounts of my magic. I hope no secret cameras caught that.

Now my nerves are kicking in. I walk to the door taking small steps hoping the time I take will cause the person to leave.

I was wrong, the knocking continued. I opened the door to se Vienohn, well in his human disguise, Shane. "Oh, what brings you here?"

"I just wanted to come by, and, well, see you." He smiled.

"Oh...come in." I took him to the living room and got him something to drink.

"I told my family everything," He began as I was filling his cup.

"Oh did you?"

"Yeah, but they didn't believe me at first. So I showed them everything and I got the opposite reaction I expected."

"Which was?"

"They were happy that I let them know. They said they didn't love me any less." I grinned, I'm glad there are real lovely people on this earth that will take someone for what they are and can't change. As Vienohn was, he deserved the best.

I brought him the drink and sat down while he gulped it all the way down. "Take a break, will ya?"

"Sorry, I'm just thirsty. Lena's running errands always leave me parched." I forgot about that. Ever since Vienny told Lena the whole story, she's been making him run errands for the most silliest of things. She once told him to get her a smooth medium sized pebble from the beach for her nonexistent pebble collection. I asked her why, and she told me that; '"Its his punishment for or lying, taking the moon key and our memory."

I simply giggled to myself when my ears picked up a loud squeal. "Did you hear that?"

"No, I didn't." He scratched his chin in confusion.

"Must have just been me then. How long are you staying?" His mom probably doesn't want him out her sight too long since he hadn't been home in the past few days.

"Actually, I can stay out as long as  I tell her that I'm okay. It took a lot of convincing, but she knows that my time on earth won't be forever, and that sometimes I might need to assist a certain someone."

A certain someone? Please don't tell me that after all this time he's still considering working with Ceria again. "Who is this 'certain someone'?"

"You."

"But I can -"

"Handle things, I know. I still want to help." He insisted

"Its fine, really."

"Well I've already made up my mind,  ñuia bñeia." Heat rised to my cheeks at the little name he called me, making me look away. Makes me wonder, does he know that we're each other's stars? Has he ever felt any physical pain when it's inflicted on me?

"Hey Vienohn do you-"
" Kira would you mind if we started-" We laughed. "You first. " He said.

"Well then. Lena told me that-actually I'll start from another point. I started experiencing random pains on the night that you stayed over, only to find out they were in the same areas you were hit. And again, before I came to rescue you."

"Go on."

"Well, I had asked Lena about it and she told me that I'd found my star. Did you ever experience anything that I could have possibly went through?" For some reason I was hopeful. I don't know why. What if it's only one sided-that's stupid, right?
