"How stupid, you're sick . . . " he murmurs, Lila extends her hands out and he picks her up . She really is stupid .
"I'm taking her back . "
.
.
When he re-enters the room, Lila is sitting up and staring outside the window, which was now open .
"What are you doing? It's cold, close it . "
"I was just thinking, it's my birthday next week . "
Her birthday .
"April 24 . "
Lila blinks before laughing softly, "Did you ask about me?"
"Something like that . "
It wasn't a complete lie . He did ask about her, but only to confirm his suspicions . Anyone can have the same birthday but having the same birthday and appearance can't be a coincidence . He puts the tray down on the table and joins her on the bed .
"Do you want me to spend it with you?"
"But, your busy that day . "
How does she know--Lila shyly averts her gaze from him, and he blinks . Ah, so out of all the things she got from those documents . She only looked at his schedule? He did it on purpose, leaving them there . But, she, really did only look at that .
"I'll spend it with you, without fail . "
"…I have to go shopping . But, uh, when do I have time?"
… . That's her reaction?
"You should get Kanehera to show you around town, there's a free time slot on Tuesday morning . The guys in RAY aren't working either, so you can have them escort you . "
The girls eyes brighten up, "En, I'll ask them . "
He wants to be the one taking her around town, but if he slacks of too much, he'll get in trouble . She scoots closer to him, and he pulls the girl in to his arms, "You, why did you want to see me?"
"I just want you by my side . I get uneasy when I don't see you . "
These words probably aren't meant for him .
He knows that .
This girl, probably really misses Austin Kiryu .
"I should work you hard, so, you'll be with me more . "
"You can't use work as . . . " The girl's sentence falls short when coughing escapes her lips .
Seeing the blood, his eyes go wide . Right, he's heard of it before . Coughing blood is associated with tuberculous . But, with hanyou pure breeds it's something different . Normally this sort of thing, can be treated nowadays, but she's a hanyou . It's not tour
He should suggest postponing her concert and make her rest for a while . If he found out this before he knew her identity, he would have done so easily . But, it's different now he knows . She loves music, there's no way she will agree .
"My blood, is yours . "
"No, I can't . "
"Why?"
"I'll start relying on you . "
That's the issue? Haruka exhales deeply, before pushing the girl against the bed frame . From this distance, he could hear it . The girl's rapid heartbeat, matching her present flustered appearance .
"Nnghh…mm . "
"You look so hot…Can I remove this?"
Shy and uncertain nod . As he was loosening her blouse though, he hears a sound . Originally, he ignored it but, hearing the ringtone . He let's go of the girl .
"What do you want?"
"Touché, so, I'm back now . "
"Huh? You are . "
"Yep . I heard something interesting, there's a new girl and you're even managing her . "
Sensing Mikado's tone, Haruka should have been prepared for it . "So? How is she? Is she good? Can I use her? The girl I just had ran off, and I can't be bothered to search for her so . . . "
"She's not up for sale . "
"Ah, your attached to her . "
"Quit it . "
"So boring . What use is there falling in love?"
"How do your . . . " he trails of realizing . So, the boss knew, and Mikado does too . Ah, gee . He should have figured it out sooner .
His thoughts break of when he finds Lila clinging to him happily . … She really is strange .
"You'll understand, when you find one . "He doesn't wait for a response and closes his phone . Thankfully she doesn't ask him about the call .
"Still not well? You should lay down . "
"I'm slightly better, this is comfortable . "
He gently caresses her cheek, "Since getting here, you've been pushing yourself too much . "
"You're worried about me?"
"With the amount of times you pass out, who wouldn't?"
"So, you're worried about me, I'm happy . "
She really is weird .
"Ready for the concert?"
"Ah-huh, it's been awhile since I last stood on stage . But, it's strange . "
"What is?"
"It feels like a dream . I remember before I became an idol, I thought I'd attend regular school, eventually university - perhaps become a painter, or even just a plain old office worker . I thought that my life would be the same as the average person's even when I grew old . I never imagined I'd debut successfully and have you by my side, and that I could sing every day . This feels so strange . "
"What would you do if this really were a dream?"
"If this is a dream, I don't want to wake up . I'm very happy right now . I'm very happy right now, every day I look forward to what my future holds . I'm glad I have someone to accompany me as I walk forward . "
She is talking about him, right? Now that he thinks about it, though the goddess 4 members had managers . They only supported them in the sidelines, they didn't do anything directly like what he's doing . She must feel relieved, that she's not doing this completely alone . Even though he's impatient, their relationship isn't bad like this .
The next two days were spent recovering, and now it's time for the concert . Her eyes sparkle upon seeing the large venue . She thought so when she came here to this town, but there really are large concert venues everywhere .
"This place is so large, it's pretty too!"
"It's already sold out . "
"I guess the poster and demo worked . "
"Both being your manager and producers idea . "
"En! I'm thankful . "
Though she should express it to him directly . Where did he go? Lila walks around in search of Haruka, taking in the surroundings too . It really is a nice place . Harukkun must have given it a lot of thought . After all, it sort of resembles the concert hall of devils final live before she had to go . He, knows it's her, doesn't he? She got that sort of feeling before, and with this, she can confirm it . But, he isn't saying anything . If it's like that, then she should do the same .
She sorts of wants to start singing .
Before she could do so though, she hears another person's singing .
Ah! This…
Lila looks at the direction of where the sound came from to find Harukkun singing . Her eyes go wide . What a gentle tone . Lila finds herself walking step by step until she was right behind him .
"What is it?"
"I've never heard you sing live before . You're good . Ah, I know . Why don't we sing together? It'll be a waste if you don't sing . "
"One, I don't do it often . I only did it now to lure you over . Second, I'm satisfied with being a producer and third, this is your concert . "
Well, she knows that, but it really is a waste . He's got such a lovely voice . She wants more people to hear-- wait, to lure her o-- . Lila finds herself being pushed against the railing, hungry lips on hers .
"Nnnmmmgh . "
"Kissing, before a live, helps motivate you doesn't it?"
"Where did you get that from!!"
These days his kisses are not only getting longer and more passionate .
"Senpai, are you alright?"
"Yeah, I just want us to stay like this . "
Even though he's usually so strong and arrogant . These days she's catching more of a glimpse of his weak side . As she thought, there must be something going on . She doesn't agree with that guy's methods but if Haruka went over to their side, then he wouldn't have to be plagued with worries like this . She really does want to help him .
"Senpai, I want to have dinner with you tonight . And . In school, if it's okay . I want to eat lunch with you, from time to time . "
"You'd do that with me?"
"U--um . Yes . "
"I want you to like me . . . It would be nice if you would . "
!!! alright, now she knows for sure that he knows her identity .
"Ari-chan . "
This really is bad . . . She can't push him away, He's entering her heart at a rapid and dangerous speed .
.
.
Her dream .
Her mission .
Those things are important yes . But, the most important thing for her right now is surely to help Harukkun . She wants to see him bask in the sunlight, to help him . It's like she said to Ameno-senpai .
And what Kiryu told her too . Kiryu, and Harukkun's relation to each other is still unclear . But, from his words, there was nothing but fondness .
