I do NOT take any responsibilty for replacing 
dislocated jaws. Thank you.

Disclaimer and Author Babbling: This story takes 
place after something that will either be explained 
in later chapters or will be written in a prequel. 
Sorry if this chapter is a little short.
And then�
None of these characters except for Sera belong to 
me. The rest will be causalities of convenience. And 
take it as if Yuusuke-kun never existed before; Botan 
is still a normal ferrygirl, albeit of a higher rank 
than she originally was in the manga. Ne? ^_^

	"Yume�" She sat bolt upright in her futon, eyes 
wide with shock.
	"�ja nai?"
	As if by some invisible wind, a single phrase 
drifted to her ears through the cold, wintry night�
	"Ai shiteru�"
	She smiled, closing her eyes happily. "Ja nai 
yo!"

	Her classmates were considerably startled to 
see the �angst queen� calm and smiling again, like
before her boyfriend was killed.
	"Daijobu?" she turned and said directly at the 
cluster of gossips who were huddled around a table, 
whispering to themselves. "What�s going on?"
	There were a number of faints that day. 

	Sera took everything in good grace, and gazed 
out of the window. HE was there, she knew. To her 
untrained eye, he appeared as a kind of heat 
distortion� but it was winter. So he was there� 
there with Botan-chan�
	Silently, she twitched a finger in salute, and 
turned back to her books.

	"This is SO embarrassing," Kamui mumbled, 
sitting carelessly in midair. 
	"Hey, it�s normal for a first-timer," Botan 
assured him, bobbing up and down on her paddle, which 
Kamui doubted she could control properly. "Don�t get 
all worked up. Besides, your body is fine."
	"Yeah�" Fine� in the Imonoyama underground�

	She cycled back to her apartment, lost in a 
happy daze. He was still out there, just waiting for 
the right moment to come back to life�
	And she had no idea at all that a girl in a 
machine was watching her.

	Satsuki allowed herself a brief grimace of 
disgust. Humans were so fickle, and they bounced back 
from emotional injury so easily, especially this one. 
Two days, and she was already smiling and laughing. 
	Beast crooned inquiringly, and she was jerked 
back to reality. "I�m fine, dear. Now, what game 
shall we play this time�ah, we�ll find out more about 
Mugenji Seratia!"

Author�s babbling: Yes, Sechan is being warped to suit 
my stereotype. Yes, this is a vague YYH crossover. 

Glossary: 
Yume - dream
Ja nai -really? (correct? Please?)
Yume ja nai yo! - It was really a dream! (as above)
Daijobu - are you alright?
Mugen - infinity
Mugenji - infinite time

YES, Seratia�s surname is Mugenji. I guess I could 
have just used Ryuudo or some such, but Mugenji seems 
so appropriate for this one! 
BTW, Since I have an apparent inability to continue 
my stories, I�ll have to rely on feedback to craft 
further chapters. 

But then, I�d just do the opposite for a twist�

Comments and whatnot are always appreciated! 

-owari for now-

Sera-chan
