[hr]

Eris woke up slowly in the lonely double bed that she used just for her own. It has always been like this, ever since she could remember, Eris was used to sleep alone on a large bed and wake up staring at the walls of a cold room at her family's castle. This time it was different, however, as the sight which greeted her was the panoramic view of the city as night was finally receding and life was coming back to the streets.

It was a sight that Eris was quite unused to, as she never lived in a metropolitan city before, she got out of her bed and into the balcony of the hotel room she'd be calling home for the next four years to admire the sight quitely. She was still wearing her nightclothes, a white nightshirt and lacy black panties (all of them were Chic Gray articles, of course), only, but she didn't worried about onlookers because her suite was on the 72nd floor, anyway.

Eris stood there for about half an hour before she heard a knock on her bedroom's door. She didn't even need to turn to know that it was Eden, because he was the only other person here besides her. [color=9932cc]"Come in, you know the door is unlocked,"[/color] Eris said, not bothering to leave the balcony. The morning breeze carried the scent of the sea from the city's bay to it's interior and was really relaxing to just bask in it thoughtlessly. Eden wouldn't be able to sour her mood today, or so Eris thought.

[color=f7941d]"You know, if you stayed like this my life would be much easier, but you could at least... dress some clothes, I think?"[/color] These were the first words to leave the Eden's mouth. Becoming her personal butler (wheter he denies it or not) and fake boyfriend seem to have filled the boy with some wits, which Eris found hardly amusing.

Eris clicked her tongue before turning to face Eden with a provocative look in her eyes, [color=9932cc]"What, you got a problem with me wearing these? I hope you aren't having any weird thoughts, do you hear me?"[/color] The she turned to the landscape behind her agin before asking, [color=9932cc]"Anyway, what is it that you want?"[/color]

[color=f7941d]"You have a phone call, it seems to be a girl asking about that job request you placed in the newspaper last week. Here, have it."[/color] Eden then handed the receiver to Eris and left the room so that she could talk in privacy, or not exactly, because he had already placed a bug on the hotel's landline, anyway.

Minutes later...

[color=9932cc]"I'll meet you at Ason High today, then. Be ready to begin working as soon as the school day ends, miss Fujisaki."[/color] Eris said before hitting the [End Call], button and throwing the receiver over as bed as she made her way to the bathroom. She took a nice long shower before chanf=ging into her school uniform Surprising enough she didn't felt those clothes repulsive, even though they weren't Chic Gray's, mostly because they were uniforms and this alone meant order and pride were part of Ason High's student body etiquette and those two are things that she values and respects.

After that, Eris and Eden ate breakfast at the hotel's restaurant and hopped on the elevator towards the basement parking where the aged gentleman who was the chauffer of Eris' car, a luxurious black Drysler 300, was waiting for them. [b]"Good morning, Mademoiselle and to you too, young master."[/b] The man, who looked to be around his late fifties greeted them as he opened the doors and help the two teenagers sit confortably in the car's back seat.

[color=9932cc]"To you two, Jean. I hope your grandaughter is recovering well."[/color] Eris answered as she got into the car and let Jean help her fasten the seat belt properly. "Yes, Mademoiselle, it's all thanks to your generosity. In fact, she asked me to deliver this to you as a token of her gratitude, I know it's now much, but..." Eris held a hand to the older man's face after he delivered her a pink envelope, written [To the Dark Angel Miss] in childish letters. She knew what he would say and so couldn't let he finish the sentence, [color=9932cc]"There's no need to repay me with anything other than your continued work. All that I did was be true to my ideals, I can't possibly accept any other payment for that than this letter."[/color]

"As you wish, Mademoiselle." The gray haired man said as he turned the key on and hit the gas pedal, their next stop would be on Ason High.

During the travel...

Eris had an evilish grin in her face through quite a long part of the way to their school, ever since she read the letter sent by Jean's granddaughter. She wasn't sexectly staring at Eden, but he knew that she wanted him to ask about the letter anyway, in fact it was so painfully obvious that it hurt to see her being this stubborn. [color=f7941d]"Ok, what's so great about that letter?"[/color] Eden asked when he couldn't bear with her smile for any longer.

[color=9932cc]"If you really want to know,"[/color] Eris said passing the letter to Eden, [color=9932cc]"it looks like that, different from a certain someone, Jean's granddaughter knows how to express her gratitude properly."[/color] Eris didn't even cared to hide the sarcasm in her last comment, it was obvious towards who she threw that barb.

When Eden read the letter he found out that it contained a crayon drawing of a blonde small girl hugging a taller girl with black wings coming out of her back, made on pink strawberry smelling paper, bellow the drawing there was a short message written in French, [Thank you, Dark Angel Miss! The doctors said that because of you I'll be good in no time, please come see me again next summer, ok?"].

Eden didn't even need to ask Eris what happened as he already had taken the care of investigating her bank account registries last year and found out about her spending quite a hefty sum on a French Pediatric Hospital to pay for the best available treatment for an early stage leukemia, even tough she couldn't possible be affected by such a disease. It was but a matter of adding 1 to 1 now that he'd read this letter to find out who she was paying for.

He gave the letter back to Eris without saying anything, and keeping his expression neutral, so that she didn't find out that he knew the truth neither his true feelings about the matter.

Anyway, before they took notice Jean parked the car in front of Ason's gates and announced that they had arrived.
