Iwa Family Residence

That was the first time she heard Lila scream like that .

The first time she ever saw Lila lose control, the sight she saw made her feel sick . A very wounded Kiryu and Lila in her hanyou state .

Kasumi re-entered the room with a tray and found Lila still clutching onto Kiryu's hand .

"Eitsan left," Kasumi said, "He told me to tell you to rest assured . Kiryu's injuries will heal up in a few days . "

"Kasumi, you were probably right about me . "

"I didn't treasure Kiryu properly, and now things are like this . "

. . .

Kasumi leaves the room, and when she returned, Lila seemed reasonable .

"Kasumi . kasumi, Kiryu isn't waking up . "

"He will soon, don't worry . "

"He's lost weight," Lila murmured, "Has he not been eating?"

"He does a lot of work for Hisame-san supposedly, and he isn't in school much . So he has to study late at night," Kasumi explained .

Kasumi observed Lila's behavior, 'Is she still in love with him or not?' Kasumi thought . At first, when she heard the news regarding Lila and Karashima, she didn't think much of it . Why would she? Lila told her before she lost contact with her, that she was studying medicine in secret for Kiryu's sake .

But when she saw how the two interacted with each other, Kasumi felt betrayed . Didn't Lila say she would love Kiryu forever? Didn't she say to her that he was the one? If that was a lie, then what about their friendship? And yet even then, Kasumi recalled how Lila protected her earlier on . Even though she is acting stubborn and bitter like this, Lila still cares a lot about her .

It was right at that moment Kiryu opened her eyes, "Ah?!! You're awake . "

"Meat," Kiryu murmured .

Lila hits him, "Idiot! Why is the first thing you think of food?

"Since you're here, make me something . "

Lila deeply sighed, "Wait a moment, I'll make something quickly," she turned to her, "Can I use your kitchen?"

Kasumi nodded, "Of course . "

Lila muttered thanks and with those words said, Kasumi watched as she walked away . What is with that awkward atmosphere between them? Aren't they supposed to be best friends? A frustrated sigh passed her lips; she wants to make up with Lila .

"So, she came to me?"

"Well, it's more like she reached for Karashima, but he left," Kasumi didn't see the need to hide it from Kiryu . He would eventually find out, eventually .

Kiryu nodded; he didn't look hurt nor upset, "Yeah, I figured she would do that . "

Why is he so calm about all of this? Does he really want to snatch back Lila?

. . .
When Lila returned with the meal, Kasumi decided to leave .

"Ah, wait I'll feed you don't . . "

"Why are you trembling?"

"I—I'm not . . . "

Yep, time to go . She quickly headed towards the door .

------

Kiryu is grateful when Kasumi leaves; he turned to the girl who stood there shaking . He reached over and brushed his hands across the girl's bangs, "There's blood; you got hurt . "

"I--I . . . It's only minor . . . your arm . . "

"Well, it's nothing," Kiryu lied . It hurt a lot, and just reaching out to touch her is very painful . But, he pulled Lila into his arms, "Lila, I'm okay . Don't worry; I won't die . "

"Kiryu, why did you do that for me?"

This silly girl, why is she asking such a stupid question for? Then again, Lila's always underestimated the place she has in his heart . He always found that stupid, though . Why does she have to underestimate her importance? All he has is her, after all . He doesn't have anybody else .

"Don't do that again, please don't," Lila whispered, "Please don't . I can't; I can't show too much concern for you . I have to maintain a distance . But if you keep doing things like that for me . I won't be able to control myself . "

His eyes widened at her words . Silly girl, she doesn't have to hold anything back . She can be honest with him . But she's doing so much because she loves Karashima . Even if it means sacrificing her feelings for him, she wants Karashima to be happy .

"I can't make that promise," he replied, "I'm sorry . "

"Stupid, stupid, stupid . "

"Lila . "

"Let me go," she exclaimed, "Why don't you mind your own business? Why do you have to love me so much? Kiryu, please, this is so painful . Please . . . don't love me anymore . "

It pained him seeing her this way . Pained him seeing her so frantic and desperate looking . This isn't why he broke up with her . The thing with Rosalia aside, the main reason was so Lila would stop being so confused . But it seems like his sacrifice was for nothing . In fact, his sacrifice may have just made things worse .

Kiryu didn't know what got into him, but before he knew it . He had bent down and was kissing her . He kissed her for quite sometime before, Lila forcibly shoved him away .

"Why did you do that . . . you . . the two of us . . . "

"Lila . . . "

"I'm leaving," she trailed off, "I need to find Haruka . . "

Kiryu clenched his fist . But all he could do was watch her leave .

Maybe he's getting in over his head . But when he saw her look so broken and so fragile, Kiryu wanted nothing more than to help her .

Lila quickly found him, hunched up in the corner smoking a cigarette - no a lot of them . She could spot several surrounding his feet . He smoked a lot, even though she hasn't been gone that long . This person will break without her, but won't the same go for her? She can no longer live without Haruka .

"Let's go?"

"Why did you come back? Go to him; he needs you . "

"I need you more than him," Lila murmured . She took a step forward and tugged on his hand, "You don't want me?"

Haruka looked at her like she just said something unbelievable, "You really are an idiot . "

Why is he scolding here? She came all the way out here and even left her coat behind . Lila regretted not turning back to grab it, walking out in October without a jacket is like asking for a death sentence . When she was running, Lila didn't notice how cold it was but now that she stood still . Lila wrapped her arms around her chilled body, 'Freezing,' she thought .

Her thoughts broke off when she's pulled into Haruka's arms, "Better?"

"Ah-huh, warmer," she muttered against his chest . Indeed, the cold she felt moments ago seemed to have vanished .

"Don't call us out here and bail," a familiar voice said . Lila looked over and spotted blonde hair . It was Yumeko and beside the girl was Mikami . A relieved sigh passed her lips, so even if she stayed with Kiryu . At least Haruka would not go to those people, thank goodness .

Mikami chuckled, "Yumeko-chan, it's useless . Look at them . "

"Unbelievable . "

Haruka smiled, "No can do, my dearest is cold . She said she couldn't live without my body . "

Lila blushed at his words, and buried her face in his arms, "Quit being so shameless moron . "

"Heh, you're so cute . "

'He's such an idiot,' Lila thought to herself . But, she focused on his warmth; it really is cold . Without Haruka, she would be freezing, and he smells nice, "Hey, quit sniffling, let me kiss you . "

"No," she refused . She was still slightly upset that he just ran off like that . Thankfully, he waited for her, but that doesn't make this situation any better .

"Don't be sulky; I'll give you something you want . "

"I'm not falling for that," Lila murmured . Though she doesn't mind having sex with him, right now she doesn't want to do anything too affectionate with these complicated feelings, "When I saw you leave like that, I was agitated," even though the one she reached out for was him and not Kiryu .

"I'm sorry," Haruka kissed her, eyelids, "It was a habit . "

"Get rid of it . "

"Yeah, and I really got you something you want . So quit sulking," Haruka murmured .

What is he talking about? Lila lifted her head from his arms, and Haruka took something out of his pocket . It was a medium-sized box, Lila blinked, "A gift?"

"Yeah . "

A gift from Haruka, Lila looked at the box curiously before she opened it up . Inside was a beautiful Jade necklace . Ah? It looks kind of fam— Lila recalled that hairpin and her eyes widened, "Did you get me that too?"

Haruka smiled, "Took you long enough . "

It really did, she would never have guessed that it came from him . Lila stared at the pendant, and blinked, "Did you get me this so I could remove Kiryu's stone from my neck?" she watched as Haruka looked away and she laughed, "Your jealousy is something . "

"Don't you know the significance of wearing something that important on you? Of course, I'd get anxious about it," Haruka murmured . He ran his hand through his maroon-colored hair, and rustled it slightly, "Well, I do understand why you wear it . You don't have to wear a necklace, but I just wanted to give it to you . "

"Yeah, I won't wear it . "

Haruka's eyes twitched in annoyance, "Brat . "

"But, I'll wear the hairpin," Lila murmured, "I'll wear this necklace for special occasions," now that she knows where that hairpin came from . She can wear it with ease now . Lila thought before it was something Kiryu gave her, that's why she didn't want to use it around Haruka . But that's different now .

"Did you want a hair accessory instead?"

Haruka looked very confused, and Lila rolled her eyes . Is this the famous playboy? He's so bad when it comes to girls . Lila wrapped her arms around his neck, and leaned over, to gently kiss his lips, "Thank you for the present . I like it a lot," she murmured softly .

He seemed surprised, and yet she noticed his gaze switch from confused to gentle, "I'm glad . "
