Youmu sighs heavily as she sweeps around the entrance of the mansion.

"Where could he have gone," she mutters aloud.

When she came to check Vincent's room, he wasn't there. His weapons and coat were missing, though he left his travelling pack. He didn't even leave a note. Lady Yuyuko didn't seem worried though.

"Some time apart makes love grow fonder," she said.

Youmu shakes her head uneasily. That Yuyuko really can't take anything seriously, can she? It isn't that she likes him or anything like that. She just needs him to take care of the seal. He's just another lost Outsider; he is no one special to her.

...

"I promised to stand by your side," he says.

"W-what? Y-you can't, you're just a human!" she argues. "It is too dangerous, even for you!"

He firmly takes hold of her hand and looks into her eyes.

"I'll protect you."

"B-but -"

He interrupts her with a deep kiss. Her eyes widen in surprise, but slowly she returns his gesture. After a few moments, he pulls away.

"Just go," he says. "I'll meet you at the river."

He draws his sword and begins walking away. His blade glints brightly in the moonlight.

...

Youmu absent-mindedly puts a finger to her mouth. She knows that it is just a dream, but she has to admit that it excited her quite a bit. She feels herself blushing as she remembers more, but she pays it no mind. No one is here to see her anyway.

"..."

Suddenly, someone grabs her shoulder from behind.

"So you're thinking about him again, aren't you..."

"E-eh? W-what are you t-talking about?" she mumbles.

Yuyuko ruffles the half-ghost's hair playfully.

"S-stop that!" Youmu says.

"Ara? But I can't help it. My little Youmu looks so cute with such a dreamy look on her!"

Youmu pushes her arms away and quickly calms herself down.

"L-like I said earlier, it isn't like that."

Yuyuko raises her hand to silence her. Then, she points at the sky. Someone seems to be approaching.

"We seem to have guests," she says.

Youmu nod to her and puts down her broom.
