"What are you doing? don't use your powers . "
"Ah, it's okay Kiryu! I'm just preserving the food . "
"You don't have to . . . "
"It should last for two and a half months if I do this . "
Seeing her so into it, Kiryu knows he can't say anything and takes out a cigarette . At least he was going to when he finds Lila staring at him . He walks over and hugs her from behind, causing soft laughter to escape her lips . "Flirting time!!"
"Recently, it's always flirting time huh? "
"Ah, that's because you bully me a lot . "
"Well, anyone would if they get stared at . And what's more, you keep sneaking up and doing things to me . "
"Wah, he noticed . "
Did she really think he wouldn't?
"Forget the food, we have to find a way to preserve your scent…Mm, I have plans . . . "
Lila's cheeks redden .
He tenderly caresses her red cheeks .
"Lila . "
Lila responds by laughing softly and showing him a shy smile .
Kiryu blinked again .
She looked . . . cute like that .
He wondered to himself, what sort of man has Lila turned him into? He recalls what the others have been saying about him lately, about him being kind and gentle . Comments like he isn't so scary anymore .
That was unthinkable!
But then again, he had been wondering that for nearly ten years, ever since he had first met her and had him wrapped around her tiny finger by just looking at him with her adorable eyes . Now that he thinks about it, he really did fall for her at first sight . Back when they were children, he thought a fairy descended on to earth . He thought she was some heavenly being, but now it's slightly different . Lila isn't a child, she's slowly becoming a woman and now she's his . She belongs to him . Kiryu moved his head so that he could kiss her pretty mouth .
She tastes so sweet . The girl's phone starts ringing and Lila rolled away from him and picked it up .
"Ah, it's time to get ready," she informed him .
. … . Is she serious?
He can't think of work after kissing her like this .
Seeing her hold up the lunch box she just made though, he exhales deeply . Well, flirting with her during lunch is also alright . He extends his hand out and pats her hair, soft laughter escaping her lips . "Let's go Kiryu . "
)
The food really is preserved, the flavors still as good as new . While he normally doesn't like eating breakfast, he should eat since she labeled all of them on days of the week . Even if they are far apart, he has a feeling that she would notice . He takes out one of the labeled containers and puts it inside the microwave .

Your new assistant is coming today .
__________________________________
That was today? He wanted to pay a visit to the Terashima family, but that's probably going to have to wait . Even though Azua has been helping watch over and take care of him . The girl's career is flourishing, she's busy helping Akari with song class . What's more, she's a girl, she can't follow him around in lessons . Kiryu, insisted that he didn't need one . But, he received an automatic rejection . He does understand why . Whilst he was preparing himself for it, as expected, without Lila . He isn't stable emotionally and his gaze landed in the mirror where his eyes were a deep crimson red . He ought to wear a hat until it goes away .
.

This singing ---
Sure, enough when Kiryu follows the source of the music . He finds himself at a familiar park and standing right in front of the large tree .
"Sumire-san . "
"Oh, my, it's you Kiryu-kun . "
He immediately wraps his jacket around her and the older woman laughs, "Such a courteous gentleman . Though, Lilchan would get jealous if you do this . "
"Please, Lila would lecture me more for not helping you . " he trails off and spots the bundle beside her fast asleep . "I'm sure Lila would have liked to see her, her new sister . "
Sumire chuckles . "Indeed, I was surprised too . I didn't think I was pregnant until last month . "
"How you didn't notice is a real wonder . "
"Lilchan was saying it for a while though, that I was pregnant . Perhaps that girl inherited Yuhi's strong foresight,"
Well, he won't deny that . Lila, even predicted that it was a girl . With Sumire-sans illness and queen of darkness powers, it was difficult to tell whether she was pregnant or not . Before he could say anything else, he hears a rustling sound and finds his sensei standing there with a frown on his face .
"What are you doing? You had a fever this morning . "
"I wanted to take our precious Hoshiko on a walk . "
"You could have left that to me . "
Kiryu proceeds to leave when Yuhi-sensei calls out to him .
"Kiryu, a word . Drop by when you can . "
"Yeah, I will . "As he was about to turn away, he feels a tug on his shoulder . A small hand had reached out to him . It was from the little baby known as Hoshiko .
"Ki . . kiyu! Kiryu! "
As the little child murmured that time . Kiryu, he blinks surprised .
The two adults too seemed surprised and it was Sumire-san who broke it . Soft laughter escapes her lips .
"My, my, her first words is your name huh Kiryu-kun?"
First? You mean she hasn't spoken all week since she was born? He looked at the child in wonder . She resembled Lila slightly .
"So were Lilchan's first words . "
Huh?
"Lilchan, said your name before she met you . That's why when Asuka told me the name of her son, I was surprised . "
. …
His whole face turns red and he covers his mouth with his hand .
'Li--li-Lila'
. . . .
It was the same for her .
'My Kiryu, its fate !!'
Fate . He always went along with it . But, apart of him wasn't serious . He knew that their parents would eventually introduce them to each other, due to their rare blood type . It's really fate huh . Feeling the girl extend her hand out, he blinks, and Sumire-san puts her in his arms .
"I know you'll be late to your appointment . But,"
"I'll stay, for a bit . "
"Yes, thank you . "
The little girl pinches his cheeks with her small hands . She seemed to be trying to stretch them, and he gets a feeling of de-jvu . When they were younger, Lila used to do the same . 'Smile my Kiryu!'
___________________________________________________
"Y--your house?"
"Yeah, I have to get a change of clothes since I'll be staying overnight . You might as well bring your luggage and sort it out there . "
Selia hesitantly nods .
Thump . Thump . Don't worry, he doesn't suspect you . He doesn't know you're really a girl . Calm down . But, she really is nervous . Just now before she met him, she was cautiously walking around .
Her thoughts break off when his phone rings . Kiryu-san opens it and she catches a glimpse of the wallpaper . A pretty girl with a delicate and elegant looking appearance .
Oh, he has a girlfriend . So that's why Nikki-san said she would be safe with him .
.
.
She's grateful that they didn't end up going to his place . That phone call was to inform him to head to the company right away . The building owned by the Austin family was so glamorous, that she shifted around uncomfortably, whilst following him .
"Kiryu-san, did you see it? An interesting girl debuted recently . "
"If she has black curly hair, clings to me all cutely, calls me 'my Kiryu' then . "
"Kiryu-san, you obviously have a bias already . "
"Forget it, he's head over heels for someone . "
So, he has a girlfriend . That really is a relief for her . They eventually arrive at what looked to be a meeting room . Seeing the number of people gathered in the room, Selia was beginning to feel nervous . Maybe he noticed since he pats her head .
"Relax, they aren't that scary . You're with me too, nobody will say anything . "
"Y--yes . "
A video was playing the moment they arrived at their seats .
A girl with long gorgeous blue curly hair was singing .
"Oto tsubu wo hitotsu zutsu dakishimeru yō ni utau no
Sonzai Stay alive . . . Stay alive . . .
Shunkan Stay alive . . . Stay alive . . .
Tsuyoku kanjitai yo anata tachi wo . "
What a beautiful voice .
"Li . "
"See she's"
"Lila…My Lila . . . "
"Huh?"
"Wait, wait, can it really be . "
"Lila … . "
?
Selia doesn't know what was going on, but she tugs on his sleeve . Kiryu snaps out of it and murmurs thanks . He runs his hand through his hair and takes some water . He looked towards the TV again, and mumbles . "Don't let this leave the room, check the camera if anyone was passing by,"
"Got it Kiryu-san . "
One of the two boys left, leaving pale blonde .
"Kiryu-san, if you want to contact . "
"I do . But, since she seems to be well there's no need . "
"Really? Do you think that she's okay? Her singing, something is different now . She's afraid of something . Without you by her side-- . "
"Tatsumin . "
"Azusan . "
"I'll take care of things here . Silence the others . "
Indeed, there were plenty of other people in the meeting room . Who after Kiryu-san and the two with him murmured the name, 'Lila', immediately turned in to a discussion .
"You knew?"
"No need . It's only a few sentences but keep it to a minimum . "
"I know . "
The girl named Azua nodded and turned to him .
"Nakinishi-kun, take care of him . I'll go over your duties later . "
"Y--yes . "
Once the girl left . She noticed him staggering and Selia immediately breaks his fall .
.
.
H--how on earth did it end up like this?
"You know . For a guy, your lap is soft . "
If she could muster up some strength, she would have hit him by now .
"Sorry, I know this is a strange situation . But, I won't be able to move for a while . Stay put for a bit . "
…
"The girl who was singing . This Lila person, she's your girlfriend?"
"…You don't know Lila?"
Seeing him frown slightly, her cheeks redden . Oh god, she should have at least done her research . Then again, she didn't have time to research after escaping . She recalled Nikki-san being one of that guy's customers, and she left her number . 'If you ever want to get out, call me . ' Honestly, for the longest time, she really did want to escape . But, she fell for it, that guys words, his sweet words . 'Selia, stay with me forever . '
Realizing he was still waiting for an answer .
"I don't know much, about the outside world . I've been living a very dark life up till now . "
"Then, you came to the right place . "
Eh?
"This place, the people you meet here . They will teach you about warmth . I won't gloss over my words, there are many who may give you trouble for being my assistant . But, there will be just as many . Or even more who will teach you about kindness . "
. . . . … . .
She really does want to cry . How long has she wanted to hear those words?

"Oi, what are you doing? We're going to be late . "
"Ah--right! "Lila quickly closed her phone and rushes to Harukkun's side . She was able to have a small conversation with Kiryu, she's so happy . She's glad that he saw the performance too . She wonders what he thought of it though . Yumeko-chan had nothing but flattery for her and yet . 'It was amazing and yet, I wonder, something was missing . '
Missing .
In her singing?
It's been a long time since someone last said to her . Perhaps she's not in top shape since it's been awhile . Her thoughts break of feeling hungry and passionate lips on hers .
"Nnghh . "
"You, who were you texting? Making such a happy face . "
"Ah, un… . Mnn . "
"I'm becoming so possessive, were at work too . I shouldn't be making moves on you, but I really like you . "
Her cheeks redden at his words and she drew back from his lips .
Lila hesitantly caresses his hair, "Are you tired senpai?"
"Fine . I never used to get much sleep anyway . And I don't think I need much sleep either when we start dating . "
Wh--why, why, is he so convinced of that?
