Blood looked at Yukina and was worried and then stopped ace and gave him the book and said "you are to find the girl and take her to castle and maybe send her home besides that girl is like you." Blood smirked and left the book with Ace and he went to keep eye on Yukina.

Nina was asleep in her tent she had her knife in her hand if something comes after her.

Ace blinked."hey your not my boss Blood!",he called after him.Then stared at the book sighing."i have to be an idiot",he said and started to find teh girl.

Yukina sighed as they gt home and started to put away the tea.

The twins and Elliot blinked at Yukina,glad that she had gotten home safe ,but could tell by the look on her face that she was upset

Blood came back and saw the twins and Elliot and said "you guys should be working." Blood was cold yet again and crossed his arms and had a feeling Yukina is upset with him but it is his job as one of leader of this area.

Nina woke up a bit and then rubbed her eyes a bit and then got out of the tent and saw the stars and thought it was pretty.

Ace sighed as he came apon her tent but kept hisdistance so he woulnd scare her."you dropped your book".he said softly holdin it out to her.

Elliot and the twins flinched,turnng they nodded and quickly got back to work.

Yukina smiled once eveything was put away .Then waves at the boys as they left before heading up stairs to take a bath before she would make dinner

Nina heard a voice and turned around and saw Ace and he told her she dropped her book and saw it and she slowly took it and said "thank you Ace and i'm sorry for what i said I'm just so used of people talking behind my back." Nina looked at the book and said "since i was a little girl I always loved this story I always liked when the knight came in and meet Alice." Nina smiled finally about the knight.

Blood head back to his office and went back to work and do some of the papers and was falling asleep he was tired he didn't sleep for the last for few nights since he keeps an eye on Yukina while she sleeps. Blood was about to fall asleep at his desk.

Ace frowned."oh",he looked to the book."the storys arn't as sweet as you think",he siaghed."come on lets pack up yur tent, you shopuls stay at the castle ",he said softly.

Yukina sighed as she was doen in the bathrrom,and was nowin her cozy PJ.s,she paused infront of Bloods office and frowned.He should be in bed if he's that tied. She opened the door more and went over to him

Nina looked a him and nodded she wonder why he was nice to her but then again she was rude to him before so she will let it side. Nina took down her tent and put it in her bag and said "Alright Ace I'm ready to get going."

Blood was asleep and then in his sleep he said Yukina name.

Yukina blinked and blushed a bit.Though shook her head figureing it was one of Blood dirty dreams taht the twins had explained to her.Bu she smiled and got a blanket carefully placeing it over him before heading to her room

Ace nodded."good",he said softly and started walking,but kept to her pace

Nina followed him and kept up with his pace and she looked at him and said "Ace may i ask you something how long as been Alice been gone?"

Blood just slept and it was a long while and when he did wake up it was late and he yawn and knew he still had a lot of work to do. Blood saw the blanket and thought of Yukina and smiled softly. Blood got up and head to his bathroom to get washed up and be ready for work.

Ace frowned." long tme",he said softly

Yukina was in a solid sleep,then,suddenly woke up from a dreadful nightmare and woke up screaming

Eliot jumped up and haeaded for Yukina's room,knowing Blood was gusy."miss Yukina?",he called through the door

Nina looked at him and said "i'm so sorry Ace." Nina looked at him she was sorry for him.

Blood heard a scream and ran out of the bathroom and ran to Yukina room and saw Elliot and said "what happen Elliot?"

Elliot frowned."I don't know she won't open up",he said frowning."and since she doesn't talk,she won't answer",he said worried that after 3 years Yukina still said not a word to them.Though,what worried them more was the fact that Yukina didnt remember them.She use to live at the mansion and was Blood body guard,then one day she had vanished ,making everyone think she had died .Then when she had re-appeared Blood had been happy,but sad that she wouldn't talk and couldnt remember anything.But she still stayed close to Blood,witch may be a good thing.

Ace shrugged a bit."its fine",he said softy.

Blood looked at him and nodded about it and then he opened the door and slowly came in and went to check on Yukina and was at her side "Yukina I'm here for you if you need to say anything i will get you a notebook and a pencil so you can write what you want to say." Blood smiled at her.

Nina looked at him and then stood in front of him "no it is not alright Ace she left you all alone she shouldn't have left you." Nina looked at him with serious look in her eyes.

Ace sighed."she left eveyone,especially Blood who cared about her deeply,he just didnt know how to show it"

Yukina,when Blood came to her side hid her face in his chest and was crying into him.She felt safe near Blood.

Nina looked at him and listen how she left everyone even blood and then said "was her name Alice Liddle?" Nina looked at him and wonder if that was the same Alice.

Blood looked at her and hugged her and rubbed her back and said "it is alright Yukina don't worry it will be alight." Blood smiled.

Ace blinked."yes,why?",he asked softly

Yukina slowly stopped crying and has found her self dozeing off again in the warmth of his arms

Nina looked at him and sighed deeply and said "so i was right about her." Nina looked at him with sadness and said "she died hundred years ago."

Blood smiled at her and kept on comforting her for a long while so she could sleep the night.

Ace froze."what?",he said shocked

Yukina slept sundly

Nina looked at him and nodded "yea she did hundred years ago in my world she died from child birth from what i red." Nina looked at him and looked hurt about it.

Blood smiled and saw the twins looking at him funny and glared and made them get scared of him.

Elliot smiled a little."okay yo two",she said pulllong the twins away."lets get back to work"

Ace gripped his fist."oh..."

Nina looked down and didn't want to cry and said "i'm so sorry for telling you that Ace." Nina then turned around and said "we should get going." Nina started to walked a bit and a tear came out of her eye.

Blood sigh but kept her asleep for a long while.

Ace nodded and followed her numbly.

After that long while Yukina woke up,then blushed realizing she was in Bloods arms.She poked her hear up to look at him

Blood fell asleep while holding Yukina he looked hot while he slept.

Nina walked with Ace and she thought he was handsome but will not tell him that she could tell he loved Alice and it was the first time she was jealous of Alice. Nina walked more and saw a big castle and said "wow this is where the queen of hearts live?"

Ace blinked and looked up."yes,this is the castle of hearts",he said softly.

Yukina blushed a little more and snuggeled into him a bit more.Wondering why she felt so close to Blood.She wished she could have her memories back

Nina looked at him and then said "well lets go in Ace this is so cool." Nina smiled and her smiled was like Alice for a second and was her smile again. Nina looked at him and grabbed his hand and said "lets go." Nina pulled him.

Blood slowly woke up and then looked at Yukina and smiled softly and said "Hello Yukina.."
