Sora had a plan. Her boyfriend, Ryo, was a giver. He did everything for her, didn’t let her carry heavy bags, opened all the doors for her, pulled out chairs. He was amazing. This also happened for her in bed. He never left her unsatisfied, she came at least 3 times before he finally fucked her. He would do everything for her.
He had overstimulated her multiple times, their record was 5 orgasms. Ryo always felt horrible when he did so but Sora loved it. He loved watching her fall apart, the noises he pulled out of her made him crazy. He was silent until she’d clench around him, he lost it when she did that, letting out noises that he didn’t recognize.
She wanted to do the same for him but he never let her do anything. He told her to relax, lay back, and let him care for her. She knew there was a reason he was like this. His former friend, Kohei, was a horrible guy who broke down and used Ryo to hurt others. He also hurt Ryo. When she met him he was a shell of a man.
It took a long time to build him back up. He did all the work, she was there to support him. Now after a year they lived in a small apartment, they both worked. They made dinner every night. He gave her space when she needed it. He was amazing.
Sora wanted to pay him back for everything he did for her. “Babe,” she looked up from the book she was reading. “Welcome back,” Ryo stood there with a bag from their favorite restaurant. “I got us dinner,” she stood up. “I want to do something first,” she took the bag from him and put it on the couch.
She grabbed him by the front of his shirt and pulled her toward him. His hands came up to wrap around her waist. His lips met hers and she melted into the kiss. He was an amazing kisser. She pulled away to pull him to their room.
Ryo followed, knowing what she wanted. In their room she pushed him onto the bed and straddled his lap. “You are going to let me do what I want, you can touch but you can’t take over,” her voice was serious. He nodded and she kissed him again.
She pulled away to pull the shirt she was wearing off. She had on a baby pink bra with lace detail. Ryo’s eyes fell to her breasts and he licked his lips. She smiled as she watched him fight to not roll her over. She got off his lap for a moment to take her jeans off. The panties matched the bra. Ryo was so hard it hurt.
When she got back on his lap she grinded against him, both of them gasping. She pushed his shirt up and he took it up. His torso had a few scars, her fingers traced one on his side. He scooted her up his body to push his pants down, almost popping the button off.
“Go lean against the headboard,” she got off of him so he could do so. Once he was comfortable she settled back into his lap and rocked her hips against his. He reached toward the nightstand to pull a condom out of the drawer.
She rocked her hips harder against his. Their teeth knocked together as they kissed. He rested his hands on her hips, just holding her. “Let me do what I want this time,” he nodded and watched as she tossed the condom away. He looked at her wide-eyed, “Relax,” she moved away from his mouth to kiss down his neck and she pressed her hips down so hard that he let out a grunt. “Let loose,” she loved when he made noise in bed.
Her panties were soaked and the wetness made the grind easy. “Let me get you ready, ride my fingers?” she shook her head “No, I can take you,” he knew that was true but he still wanted to prep her. “Please,” she bit down on his neck. “No,” she reached into his boxers and stroked him to full hardness, squeezing him slightly. Ryo gasped as she pulled him out of his boxers.
She pushed the boxers down and lifted herself so that he could get them off. She took her hand off him to push her panties down, contemplating gagging him with them but changed her mind. She tossed them away and locked eyes with him. “Hold yourself still,” he did as she said.
She positioned herself, the head of his cock catching her opening. She slid down, taking him in one go. The stretch was almost too much, the burn was so good. She took a moment to adjust, rocking her hips slowly. Ryo gripped her hips a little harder, his hands digging into her.
She lifted herself and dropped again “Fuck,” he said it so low she almost didn’t catch it. She got more confident in her movement. The lack of a condom made it so that she felt every part of him. The feeling was addictive. Ryo couldn’t hold in the noises threatening to spill.
One particularly hard drop made him moan. He buried his head in her hair, trying to ground himself. “Don’t hide from me,” she pulled him back to kiss him. The power she had over him led her movements to stutter slightly. She clenched around Ryo and he held her tighter.
He rolled his hips into hers, matching her movements. “Sora,” his voice was tight. He wanted her to cum first, but he wasn’t sure how long he could hold out. “Go on Ryo, cum for me, please,” he shook his head “You first,” she gripped his hair “No, it’s your turn to cum first, please Ryo, it’s what I want, give me what I want,”
It only took a few more drops for him to hold her down. Warmth filled her and she let out a moan that was one of the loudest he’d ever heard. They had never had sex raw and she liked the feeling of him filling her.
She continued to roll her hips. He was still hard inside her. She kept going, despite the gasps of pain from Ryo. “Baby please,” she kissed him again. He moved his hand to rub circles on her clit. Sora’s hips stopped, her body going taunt. “Ryo, Ryo,” she was getting close. He could feel it in the way her hips twitched.
“Come for me baby, please,” after three more fast circles she came. She tightened around him again, making him cum again. “Shit,” he couldn’t help but thrust up into her. “That’s it,” he pulled her into a messy kiss.
Sora tried to get off him but he held her. “Not yet, please,” he rolled them so that she was under him. He was still inside her, no longer fully hard. “I’m gonna pull out, relax for me,” he was careful, not wanting to hurt her.
They both gasped as he pulled out. He was mesmerized by the way his cum was pouring out of her. “That was amazing,” Sora nodded, not trusting her voice. “I’ll get a towel,” Sora shook her head “Not yet, I want to rest first, then we can shower,” he was a weak man.
He laid down and pulled her into his arms. “Okay, let’s rest,”
Sameoka Shoji is a tough delinquent. When it comes to restaurants he can't utter a word. Good thing he has Misa.
“Alright my dears, I got a two egg breakfast…” The waitress’ voice was sweet. This place served breakfast all day. Misa added some salt and pepper to her scrambled eggs. She looked at her boyfriend’s plate. “Excuse me,” the waitress looked at her “He wanted hashbrowns not o’brian potatoes,” Shoji looked at his girlfriend “It’s fine,” Misa shook her head “No, its not,” Fujin parroted her, Raijin looked at his plate, trying to argue with Misa was worse than getting beaten up by Todoroki.
“I’ll get this fixed for you,” Misa smiled. Once the waitress was out of earshot Shoji turned to Misa. “Babe, it was fine,” Misa almost rolled her eyes. The boy sitting next to her was a fierce fighter who could knock someone out with one punch.
When it came to speaking to servers and store workers he became a quiet wallflower. His order could be completely wrong and he wouldn’t say anything. Misa, on the other hand, was mostly quiet and respectful but when it came to food she became loud and outspoken.
“Misa’s right Same, you need to speak up for yourself,” Fujin had been trying to get Shoji to be more outspoken. Misa only met Shoji because she saw a barista get his coffee order wrong. From then on he defended her from other delinquents and she called out those who got his food and drink orders wrong.
The waitress came back with a plate with hashbrowns. “Thank you so much,” Misa gave the waitress a warm smile. “Make sure to leave a good tip,” Shoji nodded and began eating his food. This place made the best breakfast, it was her favorite place to eat.
At the end of the meal Misa made sure to leave an extra tip. She thanked the waitress again “You were the best,” the lady smiled “You are more than welcome,” Shoji put his arm around Misa’s shoulder and they left the restaurant.
“Why are you so outspoken with servers?” Misa looked at Raijin “Because it’s important to get the right order, what if Sho was allergic to the peppers in the o’brian potatoes, or the onions,” Raijin supposed that was fair.
Shoji kissed the side of her head. He was grateful for Misa, she both needed him and took care of him. They stopped at a boba shop, Shoji ordered for the both of them. “Order 25,” Shoji went to pick up the drinks. His was correct but he noticed Misa’s wasn’t. “Hey, this one is supposed to have pudding and a brown sugar swirl,” Misa sucked in a breath. The worker apologized and insisted they keep the wrong drink and remade the drink.
“Wow, Same, that was impressive,” Fujin slapped him on the back. Misa smiled “I’m proud of you Sho,” She happily drank her milk tea. The other drink found its way into Raijin’s hand.
They headed to a street fair, the sun beginning to set. “I love street fairs,” Misa looked around at everything. They played some games, Shoji won a tiny stuffed bunny keychain. Misa attached the keychain to her purse, it made her smile.
Fujin and Raijin ended up flirting with some girls, they usually struck out but these two girls seemed to like them. Shoji and Misa left them to get an evening snack. They shared some takoyaki. “So do you think Jin and Masato will get those girls’ phone numbers?” Shoji shrugged “We’ll see,” Misa hoped it would work out for them, they were always tagging along on their dates.
The two sat down on a bench and waited for a fireworks show that was supposed to happen. When the fireworks did start Misa looked at the fireworks and Shoji looked at her. The colors were reflected in her eyes and the smile on her face was so happy. “I love you,” Misa turned to her boyfriend “I love you too,” he leaned in to kiss her. The night was perfect.
A small update, the story is coming to a close soon.
When he left Lily’s house the next morning he went home to wash up before heading to Housen. The others were there, they were playing mahjong. Eimei sat at the table. “I’m leaving Housen,” the room quieted immediately. “What?” Kenzo and Yuken looked at him incredulously. “I’ve decided to become a better man, for Lily,” Sachio and Shoji were silent, they both understood.
Sabakan and Monji were sparring until the words left Eimei’s mouth. “Are you serious?” Eimei nodded “I am, I want to be with Lily forever, in order to build a better life I need to grow, get a job, find a place for us, I want to support her,” Sachio was nodding along “You don’t have to leave in order to be with her,” Yuken looked for agreement from the others.
“As long as I’m here, Lily could be placed in danger, I’d never forgive myself if anything happened to her, she deserves a man who can be an equal partner,” he left no room for argument, they all knew someday they may all separate to continue their lives.
“It doesn’t mean you won’t see me again, we are brothers and that won’t change,” That made Yuken feel a bit better. “Have you spoken to Lily about your plans?” Eimei shook his head “Not yet, I want to get a steady job before I talk to her, her university exams are coming up, I don’t want to distract her,” The others realized he was serious about this girl, it made them both happy and sad. They never thought Eimei would leave them.
“Does this girl know anything about what goes on here?” Sachio shook his head “No I don’t think so, but we all need to keep an eye on her, we need to keep her safe, like we keep Yui safe,” After what happened with Redrum Sachio insisted on have Yui protected from the shadows and he would do the same for Lily, even after Eimei leaves Housen.
Eimei’s first step was looking for a job, he had worked small part time jobs but nothing ever stuck. He knew that Fujio knew some guys who worked in construction, he reached out and soon was working at the construction site, the pay was good. He then began looking at apartments, he knew Lily lived with her family and he knew she planned on staying with them while she was in college.
Those were the biggest changes he needed to make. He was proud of himself. He busied himself with work, wanting to make and save as much money as he could. Lily was none the wiser as she prepared for her college entrance exams. She began working a part time job in a cafe, wanting to start saving money. Her parents had been asking about her boyfriend, they heard from Mrs. Ueda about him. Lily promised her parents she would introduce him to them soon.
She brought up meeting her parents on her next date with Eimei. He was nervous but excited, this was his chance to show Lily he can take care of her. She noticed he had been working a lot and was happy he was passionate about his job. If she knew what was going on behind the scenes he wondered what she would do. He hoped she wouldn’t be angry, he never wanted to make her angry.
He met her parents after a few months. He got dressed in his nicest clothes and bought some flowers for Lily’s mom. He knocked on the door 15 minutes early, Lily had told him she was cooking dinner that night.
Lily’s father opened the door “Hello, you must be Eimei,” he nodded “Yes sir,” he shook the man's hand. “Yuriko wasn’t lying about you,” that was Mrs. Ueda. “Dear who’s at the door?” the women could only be Lily’s mother. They shared the same face, and body type, he wondered if she had been a dancer when she was younger.
Lily’s father stepped aside to let Eimei in. Eimei nodded and presented the flowers to Lily’s mom “These are for you,” Her mother smiled and took the flowers “Thank you that’s so sweet of you,” Eimei was happy with himself. “Eimei, is that you?” Lily came down the stairs in a green dress, her hair pulled back. He smiled at the girl, she looked so lovely.
They all sat down at the table to eat dinner. Eimei made small talk with Lily’s parents. He liked this, it was easy and comfortable. Lily’s father ran a construction company and he asked to begin working for him. Her father was happy to offer him a job. Lily was happy her parents liked Eimei, she was scared that they would not approve of him.
Eimei and Lily’s father stepped out to talk about a job. “Do you plan on marrying my daughter?” Eimei nodded “Yes I do, I love her and I want to take care of her,” Lily’s father smiled and nodded “Excellent, Lily is very independent, she needs someone who will support her,” That made Eimei happy. He left Lily’s house, giving her a kiss before leaving. He had his plan, he had a job, and now he needed to start looking for a nicer apartment, the place he currently lived in was small and needed a lot of work.
It’s was supposed to be a nice date. Nothing was supposed to happen. Cobra could feel Mina’s hands wandering. She was toying with the buckle of his belt. He gripped the handles of his motorcycle harder. He felt her breath on the back of her neck. She was laughing, all at his expense. He supposed he deserved it, he had been teasing her earlier in the day.
They were almost to his gas station. He sped up, whipping around corners. Mina had to stop her toying to hold onto him so she didn’t fall off the bike.
At the gas station he pulled around the back. Mina relaxed as he slowed and turned off his bike. Mina hopped off and adjusted her top.
Cobra reached out and grabbed her. He lifted her into his lap effortlessly. “Junpei,” his name slipped out in the form of a gasp. He wasn’t one to use his strength on her.
“Why are you acting all shy now baby, you were so bold earlier,” his voice was low and held an edge. Mina wrapped her arms around his shoulders. “You deserved it,” he leaned toward her “Did I?” She nodded “Yeah,” he kissed her.
While he kissed her he rolled his hips up into hers. He held her while he made it clear he was hard. He didn’t usually do anything outside their shared apartment but he didn’t think either of them could wait.
He pulled back from his kiss and stripped off his jacket. He let Mina unbuckle his belt and he reciprocated on her. Mina gasped as he slid his hand into her underwear. “You wanted this as much as I did, didn't you?” She nodded and got her hand in his pants. She jerked him off over his briefs. Cobra grunted as she squeezed him. He slipped two fingers in her, scissoring his fingers.
He wanted to make her cum before he fucked her, he liked to get her nice and wet. He always got at least one orgasm out of her. He kept her in his lap as he pumped his fingers. “Come on angel, cum for me,” His voice was getting her off more than his fingers did.
She shuddered as she came. Cobra slowed his fingers down and pulled them out. He stuck his fingers in his mouth, Mina watched him suck his fingers clean. She bucked her hips against his. He pulled a condom out of his back pocket. He pushed his underwear down and rolled the condom on. He gave Mina a small reprieve before pushing into her.
Mina practically screamed from the stretch. Cobra set a fast pace. Mina dug her nails into his back, holding tight onto him. She moaned out his name, which only egged him on, he was going to make her cum again, he loved how she felt, so tight and warm. He loved fucking her, its was something they did often but fucking her on his motorcycle was never something he thought he’d do.
Mina rolled her hips against his, trying to match his thrusts. She wasn’t able to match him, that along with his arms around her waist made it hard for her to move. She liked when he used his strength on her, it was so hot to be manhandled.
Cobra could feel her tighten around him. She was getting close, she felt the knot forming. It was going to snap. He gave a few more harsh thrusts and after three Mina tightened and came so hard her body shook. He rested his head on his shoulder as he came. Mina raked her fingers through his hair, cooing his name.
“Let’s get inside, the sun is going down and it's gonna get cold,” Cobra lifted her off him, fixed his pants but slid his fingers back into her. Mina let out a shocked moan. He pumped his fingers a few times to tease her. “Calm down Junpei, you have me all to yourself,” he gave her a dangerous smile “I do alright,” he pulled his fingers out and licked them again. He got her dressed and pulled her toward their apartment.
Hiroto wasn’t going to make it home. Not with Saki’s soft body pressed against his back. Her arms wrapped around his waist and her face buried in his neck. They had been at Misaki’s, he and his wife had just moved into a place and he wanted his little brother and Saki to visit. Saki was all over Hiroto, she had been rather feisty lately, not that he was complaining. He was getting hard and said he and Saki needed to call it a night. Misaki caught on right away.
Now they were tearing down the street, he was going over the speed limit. He felt a cold hand under his shirt, tracing along the top of jeans. “Sasa” his voice carried the edge of warning. Saki smiled “Come on Hiro, don’t act like you aren’t turned on, I know I am,” she was such a menace.
Hiroto turned off the main road and followed the alley until he pulled behind a long abandoned gas station. He turned the bike off. Saki hopped off the bike and Hiroto pulled into his lap, he was still straddling his bike. He kissed her, one hand on the back of her head and the other popping the button on her jeans.
Saki gasped as his hand slipped into the denim. He found that she wasn’t wearing panties. He growled “You planned this,” Saki let out a breathless laugh “I actually was planning to do it in Masaki’s bathroom,” she was insane for that idea. “No baby, I don’t want him to hear how you scream, that’s for my ears only,” Saki could only gasp as one of his fingers slipped into her. “You’re soaked, have I been leaving you unsatisfied?” Saki shook her head “No never,” he rewarded her with a second finger.
He carefully pumped his fingers while Saki busied herself with unbuckling his belt and unbuttoning his pants. She let out a low curse, her boyfriend loved his leather pants and no matter how good they looked they were a pain to get undone. She slid her hand in and rubbed at his cock over his briefs. Hiroto bit into her neck as he sped up his fingers. Saki reached down to stop him.
“I want to cum with your dick inside me,” Hiroto eased his fingers out of her and sat her on the handles of his bike while he pulled his pants down. Saki wiggled her pants down while balancing herself. Hiroto pulled out a condom from his wallet, he was never without one, just in case Saki wanted him to wear one.
Once he had the condom he pulled back into his lap and carefully lined himself up to her. He let gravity do its thing and she was fully seated on him. The stretch was delicious, he filled her up so well. Hiroto kissed her again. Their tongues tangled as he lifted her and drooped her back down. He set a quick rhythm. He usually liked to fuck her slowly, he liked to draw it out, to really make her feel him.
He couldn’t be patient and with the way Saki was rolling her hips neither could she. He felt Saki losing momentum, she didn’t have his stamina. He reached between their bodies and rubbed figure eights on her clit. She let out a squeal that made him smile. He liked seeing her falling apart on his dick. It made him feel like a king.
He matched his fingers to the speed up his thrusts. He felt Saki clench as she tried to catch her breath. Her breath hitched and her nails drugged into his back. Hiroto knew she was about to cum, he knew her body so well. After a few more hard thrusts Saki tightened around him, locking him inside her. She shuddered as she came. Hiroto felt his heartbeat in his ears as he came.
Saki lay limp in his arms. He made quick work of pulling out, taking the condom off, and discarding it in a nearby dumpster. He dressed Saki and then himself. He knew she wouldn’t be able to hold onto him so he moved her to straddle him, her head resting on his shoulder. He gave her one more kiss before turning on his bike and getting back on the main road.
He drove slow, he’d have to carry Saki in and get her in bed. He liked this part best. The sex was good but taking care of his girl afterwards was the best. She snored against his neck, he really wore her out.
When they got to their apartment Saki woke up. She looked up at Hiroto, a sly smile crept onto her pretty face.
“Round 2?” She was thrown over his shoulder. She took that as a yes.
At the end of the party, Eimei walked the girl home, their hands intertwined. Eimei made up his mind, he was going to become a man that Lily would want to be with forever. He was going to get a job, he was going to support Lily in whatever she wanted to do. He wanted to marry her, have a life with her. He worried that the other Housen leaders may be upset with him, but Sachio would support him, they had Monji, he could take his place.
When they got to Lily’s house she asked if he wanted to stay the night with her. Eimei accepted and they entered the home. Lily set to making some tea and putting the flowers in a vase. Eimei watched her as she moved with such grace. As the tea brewed she went to her parents room and found some clothes for Eimei to change into, her dad was a bit bigger than Eimei so it should be fine.
He went to change in the bathroom and when he came out Lily was pouring tea. They went to her room and had their tea. Eimei and Lily sat in silence, drinking their tea. Eimei stayed the night with Lily, holding the girl and thinking about some choices he had to make. They were not easy choices but he knew his friends would understand. He’d keep that from Lily for now, he wanted to solidify his plans before he told her.
It was time to grow up a little and that meant one thing.
Leaving Housen and stepping down as one of the Ozawa Hitoshi.
“Miss, are you ready to order?” Airi looked up at the waitress, the woman looking at her with pity. The other staff had been watching the girl. She had been there for almost an hour, she said her boyfriend was on his way but no one had come. She checked her phone, Kohei had left her on read, he promised he was on his way an hour ago but now she was being met with radio silence. It was humiliating, he promised he’d do better but here he was, back to his old tricks. They’d been together for almost a year and usually he was good at showing up for dates. She had gotten all dressed up, she wore the red dress he told her he liked her to wear.
“I’m sorry for wasting your time,” she pulled some bills out of her purse and left them on the table. She hadn’t ordered anything but she felt like she needed to leave some money. She stood and walked out of the restaurant. The woman watched as the girl wiped unshed tears. “That poor girl, she’s been waiting for a while” “her boyfriend is a jerk” “I’d never stand my girlfriend up, especially if she was that cute” the other staff whispered among themselves.
About twenty minutes after the girl left a boy showed up. “Excuse me, was there a girl here? She’s wearing a red dress,” the waitress bristled “She left twenty minutes ago, after waiting for an hour, poor thing,” the boy had the grace to look embarrassed “Which way did she go?” The woman wasn’t going to say anything “She went that way,” one of the younger waitresses pointed toward the way the girl went. “Great, thanks,” he took off.
Airi felt like such a fool. She made it to the small house she shared with her family and went to her room. She fell onto her bed and finally cried, hugging her pillow. She didn’t hear her door open “Airi dear what’s wrong?” She looked at her mom “Ko-chan stood me up, again,” her mom sighed. She was afraid of that, Kohei was rough around the edges but he seemed to really love Airi. “He’ll make it up to you,” that was the voice of her brother. “Shut up Ryo, you only say that since you’re best friends,” she knew what he would do, throw money at the problem but that would not work anymore.
Kohei started to call and text Airi nonstop, apologizing and promising to do better. When she didn’t answer those texts he started getting a little mean, he called her a brat and a drama queen, that made her so mad she wanted to call him just to scream at him but that wouldn’t fix the problem, it would make it worse. He was bound to show up at the Suzaki house, he’d bother Ryo until he learned where she was. She knew her brother would immediately give into Kohei, he always defaulted to him.
Her mom heard the doorbell and went to get the door. “Airi you have a visitor,” she sat up and Kohei walked in, a sour look on his face. Airi sat up, a frown on her face. Kohei raised an eyebrow, challenging her. Her eyes were red and her eye makeup was smudged.
“Are you done being dramatic?” Airi wanted to slap him “Are you done being a terrible boyfriend?” Unlike her brother she talked to Kohei however she wanted. “What do you want? I’ll buy whatever will make you happy,” Airi wanted to rip her hair out.
“I don’t want anything like that, not everyone wants your money,” Kohei’s lip curled. “Then what can I do for you to stop being such a brat,” Airi stood up finally. She walked right up to Kohei, they weren’t eye level, he was taller than her, but she glared up at him. “I don’t want your presents, I want your presence,” Kohei short circuited for a moment. “What?” Airi turned away from him “Leave, think on what I said,” Kohei scoffed. “Fine be like that,” he left, slamming her door, Airi couldn’t help but cry again, Kohei would never get it.
A few days passed, the couple not talking. Both were in a bad mood and Ryo was stuck in the middle. He could see both sides but he was more on his sister’s side, Kohei thought everyone was after his money. Kohei was still thinking about what Airi said, he had been repeating it over and over, trying to understand what Airi wanted. “What’s something your sister wants? I’ll buy her whatever you say,” Ryo sighed “She wants you to try and be better, she loves you, money can’t solve this problem, just be with her,” the Suzaki siblings were so weird.
Ryo could see Kohei didn’t understand “Ko-chan, money isn’t everything, Airi has never cared about that, she always makes something for you, cookies, a scrapbook, those have no monetary value, but they have meaning, remember when you picked a flower for her when we were 14, her face lit up like you handed her the world,” Kohei was starting to get it, but he was proud and he wasn’t one to give in, even when he knew he was wrong. Ryo sighed and clapped his friend on the shoulder. “Don’t keep her waiting too long,” there was a veiled threat, Ryo may be Kohei’s friend but Airi was his precious sister, who he would kill for.
After a few days Kohei finally made his way to the Suzaki house. He had a small paper bag with him, he had attempted to make Airi some macarons, they were her favorite snack. He knew they were terrible, he refused any help from his family chef, he wanted to do it all on his own.
When he got there he found Airi in the backyard, she was sitting at a small table. She looked lost in thought, she was so beautiful. Kohei swallowed the lump in his throat. “Airi,” she turned to look at him, she almost frowned but she couldn’t, as shitty as he was being she missed her boyfriend.
She stood up and walked toward Kohei. He met her in the middle, pulling her into a tight hug. He dropped the bag but he didn’t care. He missed how she felt in his arms, he missed the way she smelled. “I’m sorry Airi, I was being such a dick, I shouldn’t be treating you like this,” Airi smiled “Just make it up to me Pretty Boy,” Kohei couldn’t help but blush, she’s never called him that before, he liked it.
“Call me that again,” Airi stood up on her toes “Pretty Boy,” he leaned down to meet her half-way, kissing her. Ryo almost called out to Kohei but stopped himself, he let the couple have their moment, they deserved it.
The other Housen leaders were expecting him. Sachio had a deep frown on his face. “You're in trouble~” Yuken’s teasing voice would usually piss Jinkawa off but today he couldn’t be bothered. He sat in front of Sachio. “I am dating Lily from today onward,” The frown on his leader twitched, Sachio was starting to crack.
“Please Sachio,” Jinkawa wasn’t the type to beg. “Do you know his girlfriend?” Yuken was enjoying the drama that was unfolding. “She’s my childhood friend,” Yuken was even more entertained. “How did you meet her?” Jinkawa eyed the blonde boy “I met her at the dance studio Ueda-san owns,” he always referred to Sachio’s mom with respect.
“It doesn’t bother me that you are with Lily, I know you are more than capable of protecting her, but she could be put in danger if someone that is against us finds out about her,” Jinkawa hadn’t thought about that but he wasn’t going to let anything happen to Lily. The others knew they had the responsibility of keeping an eye out for the girl, they would keep her safe.
“Did Lily tell you about our relationship?” Sachio shook his head “No, Yuken and Kenzo did, they saw you two,” Jinkawa turned to glare at the two boys, Kenzo was looking at his phone and Yuken just shrugged. Jinkawa wanted to be the one to tell Sachio, that or it should have been Lily. “You need to mind your own business Yuken,” the boy pouted as he was scolded.
“When will we get to meet her? She looks so cute!” Jinkawa’s eye twitched, he was losing his patience. “You’ll meet her when she’s ready,” that was not enough for Yuken. “Please introduce me, I want to be her friend,” it was Shoji’s turn to speak. “You want her to set you up with one of her friends, you did the same to Yui,” Yuken was caught. “I deserve a cute girlfriend too, it’s not fair,” he was so immature sometimes. “If I introduce Lily to any of you it’s going to be Shoji, Yui would make her more comfortable,”
Yuken got a wicked look in his eyes “Can we call you Ei-kun?” Jinkawa finally lost his patience and punched Yuken, the blond boy fell on his butt. “Worth it,” Sachio was now glaring at Yuken “Leave him alone,” Jinkawa left after a few moments, Yuken knew how to push his buttons. As he walked home he got a text from Lily, she had a performance and she wanted him there. She told him there would be a ticket for him at the ticket office. Jinkawa decided to go buy something that was a little more formal to wear, he wanted to make sure Lily would be proud of him.
When the performance came up Eimei got dressed in the dark blue button up and black slacks. On his way to the theater he stopped to buy some flowers, he got some light purple tulips for Lily. At the theater he went to the ticket window and gave his name. The older man smiled “You’re Lily’s boy, take good care of her, she’s a good girl,” Eimei nodded “I will sir,”
He saw that Sachio and Yui were there. Their mother was not with them but he did feel more comfortable with the two there. “Lily is an amazing dancer, wait until you see her,” Eimei was getting excited.
In the theater he was seated close to the front of the stage, Sachio and Yui were seated behind him. The show started and all the dancers were amazing. Finally it was Lily’s turn. She stepped onto the stage and Eimei almost didn’t recognize his girlfriend.
She took her place and the music started. She held a tambourine and did an amazing dance, she was focused and beautiful. Her movements were precise and it reminded him of how Sachio fought.
There was an older couple sitting near Eimei who were whispering to each other “Such a shame this is the last time we will see Lily dance, she’s getting ready to go to college, her mother says she going to study to be a teacher,” the older man shook his head “She could easily become a professional dancer but Lily’s a sensible girl, she’s thinking in the long term,” their words made Eimei think, he needed to be more like Lily and think of his life in the long term. All he knew is that he wanted Lily in his life forever.
After Lily’s dance she left the stage and the show continued. At the end of the show Lily came out and bowed to the audience, who cheered loudly for her. After the show there was a small reception, and Eimei waited patiently for Lily. She came out in a dark blue dress, her hair loose and her face clean of the makeup. He handed her the flowers and she smiled, reaching up to hug him and press a kiss to his cheek.
She introduced him to the other dancers as well as the older couple, the older woman was a former dance teacher of Lily’s. “I’m so glad to see you have met someone Lily, he’s the type to take care of you,” the man was speaking to Eimei “You know Ueda-san’s son, Sachio is a good boy, always has been, keep our Lily safe,” Eimei nodded “I’d give my life for hers,”
Fujio had come to her, excited. He found an old library near the housing estate they had all grown up in and he wanted to explore it. He dragged Hina out of her apartment. She had been getting ready for a Halloween party. It was 9pm when he came and got her. He was lucky she had a crush on him.
“You are the biggest idiot I have ever met,” Hina was getting tired of being dragged through the city. “I was supposed to go to a party my friend is throwing, but no, what Fujio wants, Fujio gets,” Fujio stopped and turned to the girl, pouting. “Come on Hina, it’ll be fun, the others are already there, plus you look so cute in your witch costume,” Hina couldn’t form words after that comment.
“You said this place is near Hope Hill?” Fujio nodded, he saw the others and waved to them. “Fujio, that place is haunted,” Hina was familiar with this place. “Tsukasa, why are you letting him do this?” The blond boy just shrugged, “He’ll tire himself out eventually, the first creak of a floorboard and he’ll be gone,” they both knew that wasn’t true, Fujio had boundless amounts of energy and zero self-preservation skills.
Hina looked at the others. Shibaman and Tsuji were both there, Shohei and Dai jumped at any chance to hang out with Fujio. Kiyoshi and Yasushi were talking quietly, that was a bad sign. Jamou was there, jumping at every noise. The one that surprised her the most was Yosuke, he had a deep scowl on his face. Hina was the only one in a costume, she was missing the hat and prop broom but the others could tell she was meant to be a witch.
“Come on Hina, it will be fun,” Fujio was hard to resist, he was like an excited puppy. Hina sighed “If I get hurt you have to be my caretaker,” Tsuji snorted “You’ll have to wear a nurse outfit,” Hina glared at him “Mind your business skittle hair,” Yosuke and Shibama covered their laughs with coughs. Tsuji knew about her crush on the boy.
“Come on, the sooner we go in the sooner we can leave,” Hina took the flashlight that Tsukasa handed her. Fujio made quick work of the door, he and Dai pried it open. “Ladies first,” Hina turned to Yasushi. “He said ladies first Yasushi,” The blond boy rolled his eyes as the others laughed.
Hina was scared and she was trying not to show it. “Come on Hina, I’ll walk in with you,” Shohei was too good for this world. She nodded while walking beside him. The building smelt like an old attic, something moldy but also dry. “This place smells like my grandpa’s house,” Fujio didn’t mention his grandpa often, the others just nodded. As they walked into the lobby of the library the skies clouded over and a violent thunderstorm began. “That’s not erie at all,” Hina laughed at Dai’s dry humor.
Once upon a time the library must have been a lively place. They walked past a children’s section, the brightly decorated area dreary and dark. The wallpaper was peeling and the bookshelves were falling apart. Books and other debris were spread out. Floorboards stuck out, just inviting someone to trip and fall. It was quiet except for their steps. That didn’t stop Jamou from jumping at everything. “Jamou calm down, there's nothing,” Hina was putting on a brave face but she was scared too.
The eleven flashlights made the place pretty bright. Hina was a little sad to see the place desolate, she remembered once coming to this library with her dad for a storytime, she was maybe 4 or 5 years old. The library closed soon after, no one had any idea why. A lot of the furniture was gone, probably taken by locals for their own dilapidated homes.
She frowned at the bookshelves, still full of books. She and Shohei walked down one aisle as the others separated. She ran her fingers along the spins of the books, looking at the faded titles. “Hina,” she turned to Shohei. He leaned close to her “If you leave I won’t tell anyone,” She smiled at him, he was so cute. “I want to stay,” the boy nodded and just followed her.
She took a book off the shelves. She dusted off the cover, reading it aloud ‘Halloween Stories’ it read in blood red cursive. Hina found the others and held up the book “Look, it's perfect for tonight,” she opened the book, reading aloud from a random page.
She read from the page for a few minutes when Jamou grabbed the book from the girl. “That’s enough,” Hina smiled “It’s just a story, right guys?” She turned to look at the others but they were gone. She turned to Jamou. “Where did they go?” Jamou stepped closer to Hina. It was just the two of them. “Fujio? Tsukasa?” “Shibaman? Tsuji?” “Yosuke?” “Sho? Dai?” “Yasushi? Kiyoshi?” there was no answer.
It felt like the temperature was dropping rapidly. Goosebumps rose on Hina’s arms, her thin dress and stockings did nothing to keep her warm. “Is it cold in here or is it just me?” Jamou could see Hina’s breath and when he tested it himself he could see his own breath. “It’s not supposed to be this cold tonight, why did it suddenly get cold?” Hina supposed it also wasn’t supposed to rain but the storm was still raging outside.
The hairs on her neck stood up and she felt a presence behind her. “Hina,” Jamou’s voice was almost silent. She turned and relaxed “Tsukasa, you jerk, that wasn’t funny,” Jamou knew that wasn’t Tsukasa. “Tsukasa?” his arms shot out and grabbed Hina, his mouth opened to reveal fangs. He tried to bite her neck but Hina pushed back. “What is wrong with you, this isn’t funny,” Tsukasa’s eyes glowed a dangerous red.
“Oh my god, the book,” Jamou held onto the book tightly. “This place is really haunted,” Fujio showed up, his eyes also glowing. “Get away from us,” both boys, possessed by a vampire, stalked toward them. “Give us some blood,” Hina had to think quickly.
She pulled Jamou toward a book shelf and using all her strength pushed it. It didn’t take much for it to fall on the two vampires. “You killed them!” Hina shook her head “No I didn’t, come on, we need to hide, turn off your flashlight, if they’re possessed than the others are too,” Jamou did as Hina said and then ran deeper into the library.
They found themselves in what had to be the computer lab, there were no computers but they found a place to crouch down out of sight. “Okay so if Tsukasa and Fujio are vampires, that means the others are the other creatures mentioned, who was next in the passage?” Jamou found the passage “Werewolves,” Hina wished she had her phone, but it was sitting on her bed back at home.
They heard growls, and they froze. “We can smell you,” that was Shibman’s voice, at least it sounded like him. Jamou started sweating but Hina was trying to keep it together. “Just stay with me, we can make it to the next day, so will the others,” Jamou nodded. “We are going to find you, you smell so good,” Hina noticed they were only talking about one person. “I think I’m the target, since I read the passage out loud,” Jamou was scared for the girl.
“We are going to trap them in here,” the door slammed open and they looked up. Shibaman and Tsuji were standing there. Their eyes glowed yellow and they were covered in short fur. “When I count to the three we run for the door,” Jamout nodded, clutching the book to him. Once the two werewolves were away from the door Hina used her fingers to count. They ran for the door and shut it, wedging a metal chair they found under the door.
Jamou and Hina ventured further into the library, moving as quiet as possible. “Frankenstein’s monster is next,” Hina figured that had to be Yosuke. They sat down on the ground, trying to catch their breaths. “Okay, we can do this Jamou, we can survive the night,” Jamou nodded wildly.
Soon enough the sound of groaning was getting closer. Yosuke came around the corner, his eyes glowing green. He zeroed in on Hina and he moved as quickly as he could. Hina spotted a storage closet, “Come on,” Jamou got up and followed her. Hina got the storage room door opened and lured Yosuke into it. They quickly shut the door and pushed a bookshelf in front of it.
“Five down, four to go,” Hina was proud of her quick thinking. Witches were next, she wasn’t sure who that could be. Her and Jamou sat in silence for a while, they needed a plan. They didn’t know how much time had passed but they just had to make it to sunrise.
The silence was broken by a loud cackle. They jumped up and looked around. The laugh continued. Shohei came around the corner, his eyes glowing blue, a sly smile on his face. Hina was sad that Shohei was possessed. She’d have to incapacitate him somehow.
Jamou huddled behind Hina, he was getting scared. When Shohei got close enough to her, she punched him hard, knocking him out. He crumpled to the floor and Hina frowned at Jamou. “I didn’t want to do that,” She was sad to have to do that. Jamou understood. They knew that ghosts were next and wherever Shohei was Dai was not far behind.
Soon enough Dai came around the corner, he was almost transparent. He floated toward them. Hina wasn’t so sure they could escape from him. “Jamou, I don’t think we can get away from him,” They braced themselves but Dai just floated past them, not sparing them a glance. They relaxed only for a moment.
They relaxed for a moment when debris started raining down on them. As the thunder boomed outside they heard a laugh that was unmistakably Yasushi. The wild scream had to be Kiyoshi. Sure enough it was Kiyoshi and Yashushi. They were perched on top of a bookshelf and throwing books and anything they could get their hands on at Hina and Jamou. “Of course those two became ghouls, those are the last of the creatures,” Jamou opened the book to the passage one more time. “You’re right,”
Jamou looked at his phone “It's almost morning,” it didn't feel like that much time had passed but here they were. Yasushi and Kiyoshi were laughing like maniacs, which wasn’t that strange, but they continued to pelt Hina and Jamou with books, one book hit her in the face, she was sure to have a bruise. “Help me push this over,” Jamou nodded and they got the bookcase to fall over and they ran.
Hina was exhausted, she was tired of running and hiding and hurting her friends. She couldn’t help but cry out of frustration. Jamou tried his best to comfort her but he was tired too. They found what used to be the checkout desks and got under it, curling up into the corners. “What if they stay possessed?” Hina shook her head “Don’t say that, it won’t happen, give me the book,” Jamou handed Hina the book and she opened it to the last page. She began to read aloud again, the last passage was full of promises that the monsters of halloween were just pretend, something made up by humans for entertainment. As she read more she and Jamout fell asleep, the sound of the rain storm calming them.
“Hina!” “Jamou!” The shouts made them jolt awake. They looked at each other as their names were called again. “What should we do?” Hina shrugged and crawled out from under the desk. She got up on her knees and peaked over the edge. She could see that the sun was out, no sign of the rain from last night.
“Come on you two, this isn’t funny,” that was Tsukasa’s voice, he sounded like he’d been in the fight of his life. “Hina I’m gonna count to three,” That was Yosuke. “Don’t be mean to her,” that was Shohei. “Come on little one, is Jamou with you?” That's what Shibaman called her.
“Come on,” Hina carefully stood up from behind the desk. “There you are! Is that where you were all night?” Jamou stood next to her, the book was in Hina’s hands. “What happened last night, I don’t remember anything, Tsukasa and I woke up under a bookshelf,” Fujio was rolling his shoulders. “Tsuji and I woke up in the computer lab,” Hina and Jamou shared a look as the other continued “I was in a storage room, I think I have a spider web in my hair,” “Well I woke up leaning against a bookshelf,” poor Shohei had a bruise from where Hina punched him. “What about you Dai,” the boy shrugged. “I feel like I was walking around all night, I ended up in the kids section,” Hina nodded and stepped around the desk. Yasushi and Kiyoshi had also woken up under a bookcase as well.
Her foot caught in a loose floor tile and she tripped. She almost fell but maintained her footing. She looked at the book in her hands and at her friends. “I’m gonna put this away,” she found the book's spot and slid it into the space it belonged in. She wiped her hands on the skirt of her dress and turned to look at her friends.
Fujio walked up to her, he pulled her into his arms. “Are you okay Hina? I was so worried when I woke up and couldn’t find you,” Hina blushed, they were surrounded by their friends. “Fujio I’m okay, everything is okay,” Fujio pulled back and took Hina’s face into his hands and in front of everyone kissed her.
He pulled away from the kiss and hugged her again. “I thought last night would be fun but I think something bad happened, did something bad happen?” Hina pulled away from the hug and shook her head “No, nothing happened, I think we all explored until we fell asleep,” Fujio seemed to buy that excuse. He noticed her red rimmed eyes “What made you cry? You also have a bruise,” He looked at the others, his eyes analyzing them. “It’s nothing, please Fujio,” he decided not to push her anymore.
He took her hand and they all left the library. As they left the old building Hina turned to look back at the old building. She shivered in the fall breeze. Fujio shrugged off his button up and put it around her shoulders. The costume she wore was thin and all she wanted to do was take a hot shower and wash off the grime of the night. Fujio promised to take her on a proper date at some point. He walked her home making sure she got home safely.
Later that day she got a text from Jamou. He wanted to know what they should do. Hina told him that they can forget the events of that night. He texted her that the library building had collapsed a few hours after they left the place. That sent a chill down Hina’s spine, the collapse could have happened with them in it and then they could have really been hurt. Hina didn’t want to think of that library ever again. It was gone and it would stay gone forever.
Later that day there was a knock on her door. She thought it might be Fujio so she happily opened the door. There was no one there. Something caught her eye and she looked down. A shiver ran down her spine.
Laying on the welcome mat was the book from the library.

Jinkawa Eimei finds love while on an errand for Sachio.
Jinkawa Eimei was on an errand for Sachio, it was simple, deliver some things to his mothers work. Jinkawa wasn’t expecting a dance studio and he wasn’t expecting to fall in love. When he arrived he saw Sachio’s mother, she was a kind woman who treated the Housen leaders as her own sons. She had long healed from her illness.
“Oh Eimei,” Mrs. Ueda turned to him, smiling. The girl standing with her gave him a small smile. Jinkawa handed the bag he was holding to the women. He couldn’t take his eyes off the girl, she was wearing a leotard and tights, a skirt tied around her waist.
“Eimei, this is Lily, one of my students. Lily, this is Jinkawa Eimei, he knows Sachio and Yui,” the girl nodded “It’s nice to meet you, I’ve known Sachio and Yui since we were kids,” Jinkawa just nodded. “I need to get back to dancing, excuse me,” she gave him one last smile and walked into the studio.
“You can stay and watch her,” Mrs. Ueda knew what was going on, she may be an older married woman but she knew what love looked like. Jinkawa watched Lily tie her hair up in a tight bun and put on her dance shoes. He watched her warm up and then start dancing.
She was a beautiful dancer. Jinkawa didn’t know a lot about dancing but he could just tell she was good at dancing. “Isn’t she something, one of my best dancers,” Jinkawa just watched. Once she was done he watched as she drank some water and took her dance shoes off. He watched as she packed up her bag, she slipped on a pair of black sweatpants and put the skirt in her bag.
She stepped out of the studio. “I have to get home, I have to study for my entrance exams,” Mrs. Ueda smiled at Lily and then looked at Jinkawa. “It’s getting late, Eimei, will you walk Lily home?” Lily tried to decline but Jinkawa insisted “It can be dangerous, I don’t mind,” Lily gave in. she slipped her sneakers on and the pair left. Mrs. Ueda watched them, proud of herself.
“Thank you for walking me home,” He looked at the girl, even the way she walked was like dancing. He nodded, he knew it could be dangerous in Taoru City, Reddrum was no longer an issue but there were hidden dangers and pretty girls were always targets. The fact that Lily also knew Sachio made Jinkawa want to protect her even more.
When they got to her house she turned to him. “Thank you for walking me home,” Jinkawa smiled. Lily pulled her phone out of her bag “Can I have your contact information?” Jinkawa nodded and got his phone out and they exchanged LINE contacts. He watched as Lily changed his name to Ei-kun. “Have a good night Ei-kun,” she went into the house, waving once again. He stood outside her house until he saw the lights turn on. He smiled to himself, this was good, he was going to make this girl his.
He spent the next few days texting the girl, and he walked her home a few times. The other heavenly kings were wondering why Eimei was in such a good mood. Sachio seemed to know but he kept the information to himself. Yuken and Kenzo wanted to know the secret, Shoji was indifferent.
One Saturday in particular Kenzo and Yuken followed Eimei. They found him at a house they did not recognize. A girl stepped out of the gate, smiling at Eimei. She was a petite thing with long hair, she was wearing a dress and sandals, a brown purse hanging from her shoulder.
“Ei-kun, thank you for accompanying me to the store,” they walked down the street and Yuken and Kenzo followed. The grocery store was small so Kenzo and Yuken struggled to stay hidden. Jinkawa was happy to push the cart while the girl shopped. She promised to make him a meal to pay him back for walking her home and indulging her texts.
Jinkawa carried all the bags, despite Lily trying to take one or two of the bags. Yuken and Kenzo were still watching them, they thought it was cute that Jinkawa was so close to a girl. They left the two to their walk and went back to Housen to tell the others about what they saw.
At Lily’s house Jinkawa helped the girl put the groceries away and let the girl start her cooking. Lily was a force in the kitchen, he liked watching her. Soon she set a bowl of curry udon in front of him. She got her own bowl and sat at the table. She watched him take a few bites. “This is amazing,” Lily gladly ate her food. She did her best to make a really good curry for the boy. She had grown to really like the boy.
They cleaned up together and he asked her if she wanted to go get dessert at a local ice cream shop. Lily agreed and as they walked Jinkawa took her hand. Lily smiled up at him, a pretty blush on her cheeks.
At the ice cream shop Jinkawa paid for what they got. They sat at a table and ate their ice cream. They didn’t talk, the silence between them was comfortable, they didn’t really feel the need to talk. After they finished their ice cream they headed back to her house.
When they got to her house he took both her hands in his and asked her to be his girlfriend. Lily happily said yes and hugged the boy, he leaned down slightly so she could wrap her arms around his shoulders. When she pulled back he kissed her. Lily was shocked but kissed him back, it was nice. He let her go in and when he knew she was safe he headed to Housen to tell the others about his girlfriend.
Ice messes up and makes up for it the best way he knows how
Yura put the finishing touches on the dinner she was making. It was her and her boyfriend’s 1st anniversary. The table was set and she was dressed up in a dress that he had bought her. She put the food on the table and took a nice bottle of wine out of the fridge and put it on the table. Ice was at work but he promised he would be home at 6 to celebrate with her. She had woken up to a bouquet of white roses and a hot breakfast.
Yura sat at the table and waited, she checked the clock and realized he was two hours late. She tried calling him but he wasn’t picking up. She started chewing on her nails. At 10pm she got up and went to their room. The apartment they lived in was beautiful. She took the dress off and got out her duffle bag, packing some things. Ice had been late before but this just hurt, he had promised to do better. She got dressed in jeans and a sweater. She grabbed her bag and left.
Ice stumbled into the dark apartment around 3am. He had lost track of time. He saw the table set and a cold meal. He sobered up immediately. He went to his and Yura’s room but it was empty, the dress he bought her was on the floor. He called out to her but she didn’t answer. He tried calling her but her phone was on the dining room table. He called the other members of the Mighty Warriors, no one had seen her. He feared she had been taken but Sarah quelled those thoughts.
“Yura’s with me, she’s fine, but you are in deep shit, it was your anniversary, Yura cooked you a meal and wore the dress you bought her but you didn’t even bother to text her,” Ice swallowed “Can I talk to her?” Sarah barked a laugh “No, she doesn’t want to talk to you, give her a few days to cool off, if you don’t I’ll beat you up for her,” she disconnected the call and Ice sighed. He cleaned up the kitchen and frowned when he saw all the work Yura had put into the dinner.
Yura knew that Ice was busy, he had stood her up a few times but never like this. Yura was so forgiving, but he knew that she was going to leave him this time. He sat on his bed and looked at his phone, he saw all her calls and texts but there had been a brawl at Funk Jungle and he had to handle it.
At Sarah’s Yura was asleep on the couch, she cried her heart out to Sarah who promised to punch Ice the next time she saw him. Sarah liked Yura, she balanced out Ice well. Before she had dated Ice she had gone to Funk Jungle a few times, Jesse had noticed her first but when she saw Ice it was love at first sight. Yura didn’t care what Ice did as a job, he took care of her. Yura was a student at culinary school and wanted to open a restaurant, Ice promised to help her with her dreams. He spoiled her with gifts when she got upset with him but this time she just wanted a sincere apology.
Ice waited a grand total of two days before he was knocking on Sarah’s door. Sarah opened the door “Well, well, well,” Ice rolled his eyes “Can I please see my girlfriend?” Sarah looked over her shoulder “She’s cooking right now, hey bunny,” Ice had heard Sarah call Yura that “Your idiot is here,”
There was a crash and Ice pushed past Sarah and ran into the kitchen. There was a knife on the floor, Yura had a cut on her palm. Ice turned to Sarah “Get your first aid kit,” he reached out and grabbed Yura, he pulled her into his arms, “I’m sorry Yura,” Yura buried her face in his shoulder, his cologne always made her feel better. He kissed the side of her head, murmuring apologies. “I’m so sorry Angel, this is all my fault,” She looked up at him, her eyes shiny with tears “There was a brawl that night, my phone was in my office,” He left kisses all over her face.
Sarah watched the pair from the entrance to the dining room. “Please don't have sex in my kitchen,” Ice glared at Sarah over Yura’s head “I would never,” Sarah laughed “You’re stupid but bunny loves you,” Yura turned to smile at her best friend and then at Ice “Let’s go home,” Yura nodded. She went and got her bag and the two left. Sarah had a feeling that the rest of the Mighty Warriors were going to be hearing some good news.
When the two got back to their apartment Ice told Yura to go take a long bath and dress pretty, he was going to order dinner for them. He gave her a long kiss and as soon as he heard her turning on the water he made a call to a local restaurant that they both liked. Once the food was ordered he used the guest bath to wash up and get dressed in some nicer clothes. He took out a box from his desk drawer.
He opened the box and admired the circle cut white gold engagement ring. He knew he wanted to marry Yura after a few months of dating but he didn’t want to scare her off. After the last few days he vowed to never hurt Yura like that. He wanted to make her his wife, he would go to the ends of the Earth for her.
The food arrived and Ice set the table, he got out a good bottle of white wine. Yura came out of the master bedroom in a beautiful black dress, the cut complemented her figure and it showed off some tasteful cleavage. Ice wanted to show her off but he also didn’t want anyone to see her look so good. She had no makeup but she had curled her hair and it framed her face so beautifully.
“You look so beautiful,” Yura smiled and walked up to him. He couldn’t help but lean down to kiss her. When he pulled back he couldn’t help but bask in the sweet look in her eyes. He couldn’t stop himself from dropping down to one knee and pulling out the box. Yura gasped “Please marry me,” Yura covered her mouth. “Yes I will,” Ice took the ring out of the box and slid it onto her finger. He picked her up and kissed her. Yura wrapped her arms around his neck.
He sat her down and pulled out a chair. “Let’s eat,” Yura nodded and sat. He poured her some wine and they ate the food. After dinner he told her to go get her shoes on, they were going to Funk Jungle to tell everyone. Once her shoes were on they left.
The club wasn’t open yet so it would just be the other Mighty Warriors. Sarah seemed to know before Ice made the announcement. The others were so excited for Ice and Yura. “Does he make you happy?” she nodded “More than anything,” that was enough for them. They celebrated the engagement. Yura smiled at Ice from her place in his lap. “I love you Ice,” He kissed her nose “I love you too,”
TW: Referenced death, Ranmaru as a person (Buts he's nice here).
Summary:
No one touches Ranmaru's women.
The club Doubt ran was nice, it wasn’t like the one that Rocky bastard ran but it was popular. The music was playing and drinks were flowing. Ranmaru was bored, his girlfriend was supposed to be there but so far he hadn’t heard from her. He was slightly worried but the men he had following her around hadn’t alerted him to any danger so he figured she was okay.
He stood up and looked around, something caught his eye. His girlfriend, his Hana, had a man bothering her. She was trying to get away from him, but the man had a strong grip on her wrist. Hana looked around, trying to get a Doubt member's attention. She was the boss's girl but no one seemed to be paying attention. Ranmaru would deal with that later.
Hana finally saw him and she managed to get herself free but the man grabbed her again, this time around her waist. Hana was now truly fighting him, she knew if he got her out of view she was as good as gone. Ranmaru got to them before that could happen. The man holding his girlfriend never saw him coming.
With his arms no longer around her Hana dropped to the ground. Finally that got someone's attention. Hirai went to grab her but she pushed him away “Don’t touch me!” Takano took over Ranmaru’s hold on the man. Ranmaru got Hana to her feet and walked her to his office.
Once inside Hana broke down. Ranmaru pulled her into his arms, letting her cry into his neck. Ranmaru shed his red coat and draped it over Hana’s shoulders. She cried for a while more before stopping and looking up at Ranmaru. The man tucked her hair behind her ears and laid kisses all over her face.
“I’m taking you home,” Hana nodded and Ranmaru carefully led her to his car. He sped through the streets, one hand on Hana’s leg.
When they arrived at the place they shared, Ranmaru ushered her inside. Hana was shaking like a leaf. Ranmaru noticed her wrist was raw and she kept scratching at it. “Go take a shower, I’m going to make a call and order food,” at home Ranmaru changed from his tough gang leader persona, he was soft with Hana, his hands that were used to harm, were gentle on the women he loved.
Hana took a long hot shower, she scrubbed her skin until it was red and raw. She got out of the shower and got dressed in a pair of loose shorts and a loose tank top. She blow dried her hair and made her way to the living room. She sank down onto the couch and pulled her knees up to her chest. She had gotten all dressed up in a new dress to surprise Ranmaru but that guy at the club wouldn’t leave her alone.
The front door shut, it wasn’t loud but it made her jump. “Sorry baby, I got your favorite,” she turned around on the couch, getting up on her knees. She got off the couch and went to the kitchen, following her boyfriend. Ranmaru told her to start eating and that he was going to take a shower. She knew what that call was, the man bothering her was dead for sure, she knew what her boyfriend was capable of, she had seen it. But he never raised a hand to her, they had grown up together, next door neighbors. She had taken over her family's cafe and was very good at running it.
Hana took all the food out and set it out on the table. Ranmaru came back into the kitchen, wearing a pair of black sweatpants and a black t-shirt. He sat with Hana and they ate in silence. Hana got her fill of food and Ranmaru insisted on cleaning up, he told her he would meet her in bed in a few minutes.
Hana went to the bathroom first, she brushed out her hair and went to their room. She was standing next to the bed when he came in. He sat on the bed and pulled her into his lap. “I’m sorry if I scared you,” Hana took her boyfriend’s face in her hands. “You protected me, that’s all I care about,” Ranmaru took one of her hands and kissed her palm.
They laid down, Hana laying her head on Ranmaru’s chest. She fell asleep quickly, the steady beat of Ranmaru’s heart lulling her into dreamland, she knew she was safe with him. Ranmaru looked down at his girlfriend and as he went to put his phone away it buzzed. It was a text message. Ranmaru smiled at what it said.
