"Nee Jurina, what are you doing?" Young Mayu said to her friend who was sneaking behind the door. "Shhhh. Rena-chan might hear us." Young Jurina whispered. Little Jurina walked quietly behind her unknowing sister who was busy writing on her study table. "Jurina, wait!" Little Mayu whispered as she followed her.

"Rawrrr!!!" Jurina screamed on her sister's ear. "AAAAAAAHHHH!!" Rena screamed.

"Hahahahaha!!!" Jurina laughed until her stomach hurt. Mayu was laughing as well while Rena was already furious at their little prank. "Matsui Jurina!!!"

"Run!" Jurina said as she started running her way out of her sister's room. Mayu quickly followed as Rena was running after them.

Mayu's lips curved to a smile as she remembered her childhood days when she reached an empty room at the end of the corridor. "Mayu-sama," Mayu's thoughts were broken when she heard their caretaker call her. "What is it?" Mayu asked. "Would you like us to prepare your room and the guest room for your companion here?"

"Yes please. We will be staying here overnight so prepare the rooms." Mayu replied then she turned to Yuki was was a few steps behind them. "Here is a list of the things that you need to buy." Mayu said, handing over a piece of paper before taking out her wallet to get the money.

"Jellybeans... Karaage.. karaage?!" Yuki exclaimed as she read the list that Mayu gave her. "She could've asked their Butler to cook this for her. Why would she want to have a store bought version of it?" She said before reading the rest of items. After double checking the list, she put it inside her pocket, when she felt something inside. Yuki pull it out. It was the notebook that she picked up earlier.

Yuki opened the notebook out of curiosity. "It looks like some sort of a diary." She said as she inspect it.

March 26, 20xx

It's my birthday today, yet I woke up here at the hospital. Looks like I'm going to spend my birthday here at the hospital...

Yuki stopped reading. "What am doing? I should stop prying over someone's life." She said then she put the notebook back on her pocket.

-----

"Yes. I'm doing good here. There's nothing for you to worry about." Mayu said over the phone. "I think I'm going to stay here for a while. I've got the perfect companion." She continued.

"Mayu-sama, your room is ready." Their butler said. Mayu nodded in acknowledgement.

"I'll call you again." Mayu said before hanging up then she proceed to her room.

Mayu slowly opened the door and she felt so happy that nothing much was changed in her room. She walked towards the shelf where her manga collection was located then she walked a little further to the other shelf where her DVD collection of all her favorite anime were located. She pulled out a DVD of Shingeki no Kyojin and then walked towards the tv in front of her bed and played the DVD.

An hour later, Yuki returned with all the things that she bought. The butler took the shopping bag from her before leading her towards Mayu's room where she found Mayu sitting in front of the TV with her head drooping already. The butler was about to wake Mayu up but Yuki stopped him and asked him to come back later.

When the butler came out, Yuki walked towards the sleeping Mayu and sat in front of her. Yuki moved the hair that was covering her face but as she do that Mayu fell towards her, making Mayu hit her head on Yuki's shoulder. "Ouch!" Mayu hissed as she slowly opened her eyes and found herself leaning towards Yuki's body. She lifted her head and found Yuki looking at her with her eyes wide. "AAAAAAAHHHH!!!" Mayu screamed as she pushed Yuki away. "Ouch!" Yuki exclaimed as she fell after Mayu pushed her.

"What are you doing?!"
