"What did he do this time?" Bleu asked.

"Well, he didn't want to continue his study there which making my mom explode this morning. And he said he want to be working instead of continuing his study." Noir explained.

"I can imagine how your mom exploded." Bleu commented.

"And I'm the one to clear his mess. So, I will go kill my brother tomorrow." Noir annoyed and smirked.

"Don't too harsh on him." Bleu said. Noir just rolled her eyes.

"I don't want! I hate study!" Raven protested. Noir sighed.

"Mom wants you to continue your study. You're the only son in our family." Noir said.

"How about you go study instead of me." Raven replied.

"Why should I? I hate study more than you. That's why I found this job." Noir said back making the girl beside Raven sweat drop to see the sibling antic.

"Sister Noir, Raven, let's talk this out. Maybe there another way to make your mom letting Raven study and working at the same time." She suggested.

"Rouge, you know how my mom is." Raven sighed. Noir sip on her drink and thinking. Then she gets an idea.

"Rouge, you know what, that's really brilliant idea. As expected, my soon-to-be sister-in-law." Noir said. Rouge blushed.

"What idea? Don't talk nonsense." Raven wondered while his ears already redden.

"Study and working at the same time." Noir replied.

"How?" Raven asked.

"How about you enrolled at Imperial Academy not far from my house. At least mom know you are staying with me, and she will not be too worried about your well-being. Luckily, our cousin has a restaurant there. I heard they still find part-timer working with them." Noir suggested.

"That might be great idea." Raven agreed.

"Let me handle it. If mom call you, you just said you comply with my idea. Let her know that you determine to continue your study." Noir said.

"Fine, I'm count on you sis." Raven agreed.

"Well treat me dinner tonight and we even." Noir said again.

"Don't forget me too!" Rouge interrupted.

"Why should I treat you?" Raven curious.

"Because sister Noir said I am her soon-to-be sister-in-law." Rouge batting her eyes making Raven irritated.

"You just want to eat free food." Raven yelled making Noir and Rouge laughed out. Raven pouted.

"Alright then, I want to go shopping first. See both of you tonight. Text me the place little brother." Noir stand up and walk out from the hotel. Raven and Rouge waves and said goodbye to her.

Upon walking out from the hotel, Noir look at surrounding thinking where should she go next. He saw a teenager walking across her to get to her side. Eventually, a horse going rampage and barge toward the teenager. Noir charge to the front and push the teenager making both of them fall down and Noir sprained her left ankle. Seeing both of them at the ground, the horse barge toward them again. Noir try to stand up but the pain on the ankle making her hissed. She used her body to cover the teenager from being run by the horse.

"Water barrier!!!" someone shouted and thick layer of water rose out from the ground making the horse to stop suddenly.

Noir look toward the water barrier and the frantic teenager down her. She sits up and helping the teenager to sit also.

"Are you alright?" Noir asked. The teenager just nod. Noir saw a woman and a man calming down the rampage horse and give it back to the owner.

"Frost!!!" the guy shouted making both Noir and Frost looking toward the source.

The guy looks at Noir with surprise while Noir widen her eyes mesmerized to see such handsome guy helping Frost to stand up. The guy feels surprised to see such beautiful emerald-green eyes of Noir making him remember the dream few nights before. He stretches out his hand toward Noir.

"Are you alright?" He said in his husky tone. Thus, from there on their fate intertwined.
