Entering the World of HSDxD 32 The Outcome

Yu - Ha...

I could understand and for some reason rose my head giving her a confused expression. What I saw was still the sad Irina but different from before there was no redness in her eyes. Soon the sad expression faded and I was meet with a serious one.

Irina - Yu would you be able to break up with your other girls for me?

Her question wasn't one that I expected to hear from her. I mean, to be honest, I thought she might cut off ties with me here and there but she was trying to compromise with me. If it was another guy they might accept her offer but I wasn't just another guy. I could only shack my head.

Yu - I'm sorry I can't... they chose to be with me and I can't just abandon them.

More words wanted to leave my mouth but in the end, that was all I said. Hearing my words Irina just nodded, stood up and went back into the house. I wanted to call out to her but a part of me prevented me from doing it.

All I could do was watch her retreating figure.

----

I stayed in the backyard until nightfall after that, sadness, guilt, and regret filled my heart and I didn't know what to do. When I came back inside all the guests were gone and I didn't feel like talking with anyone for the day so I just went to bed.

3 days passed and I didn't see Irina once I wanted to stay the rest of my break to see if she'd stop by but, got a call late at night causing me to have to leave early. It was already past midnight when the call came so I left a note on the kitchen table saying some stuff came up and I had to leave early. Just as I was about to leave I stopped by Tsukihime's crib and left her a small teddy bear I made for her a couple days ago.

And like that, I left the house went into a nearby alley and entered Haven.

{Irina's Pov:}

I was happy when Yu remembered me and all the time we shared together, but I was sad when he told me he had more girlfriends. I mean I know that we were away from each other for a long time and there was the possibility of him forgetting me, but I still wanted to take a chance.

When dad told me we were going to Yu's house to congratulate his parents for their new child I was full of expectation as well as a lot of fear.

What if he didn't remember me, what if he no longer had feelings for me. As we were in front of the door these emotions got louder and I started to get anxious. But all was blown away when I saw him and he said my name. He remembered me, and before I knew it I jumped into his arms.

It felt warm and I didn't want to leave but sadly not all good things could come true. In his arms, I could smell a small trace of perfume. Since I've been training to be an exorcist in England I was able to pick up on things like this, and I began to worry.

Irina - [Has Yu moved on?]

The thought passed in my head but I immediately dismissed it, I couldn't come to conclusions too early and seem like a nosey girl. So I followed Yu and tried not to let it bother me. I got to reunite with Murayamchan and Katase-chan, I disciplined Issie and his friend for being pervs, and I held little Tsukihime in my arms.

After all that was done, we found ourselves in the backyard sitting next to each other enjoying the evening breeze. I felt really relaxed but the smell of perfume kept bugging me a little. Suddenly I couldn't hold it in anymore and asked Yu about it.

I regretted it soon after and I was told about all that happened after I was gone. Yu's loneliness, his meeting with the girls, and how he developed feeling for them. When I asked if he lost his feeling for me but he said he didn't. I was a little happy since I could tell I still had a place in his heart, but I could tell he had more to say so I stayed quiet.

In the end, he confessed everything. On how he was greedy, how he knew he was wrong, and how he still wanted to be with me. Once he finished he dropped his head and didn't look at me anymore. I didn't speak either and just thought of what he said, in the end, I could only sigh.

Irina - *Deep Sigh* I expected something like this.

I mostly expected this when I smelled the perfume but I was hoping that my senses were wrong.

Yu - Ha...

Yu seemed like he wasn't expecting me to say this and only looked at me confused. A lot of thoughts went through my head before I asked him if he would break up with the other girls for me and the answer was the one I knew he would say but I at least had to try.

I left the backyard after that, I didn't look back I felt like I had to sort out my feelings before I could see him.

----

3 days have passed since I left Yu's house, dad had business to handle here in Kuoh Town so we were staying for a few days. I spent those days dazed and lost in thought, mom went would dad so they never saw me like this and by the time they came back, I would already be asleep.

I was currently gazing out the window at the setting sun while I held on to the necklace I've been keeping this entire time. I don't know why I kept it with me but whenever I was holding it I felt like a part of me was lost.

It was my last connection with Yu and I always looked at it whenever I felt like I couldn't go on in my exorcist training. It always encouraged me to keep going but now it feels me with sadness.

----

The next day mom told me that we would be leaving tonight and that I should go out and play outside since we didn't know when we'd be back. I followed my mom's words and did go outside but I didn't play, I just walked around without a certain direction.

Before I knew it I was in front of Yu's house and I had already rung the doorbell when I came to my senses. While I was thinking to whether I should run away from here I or stay Issei opened the door and greeted me.

It was around 9:30 in the morning and he was still in pajamas. In the back I could see his mom and dad barely waking up as well, the seemed to have gotten to bed late last night.

Issei - Ah~ Irinoneesan are you here for Yu-nii? Come inside I'll go get him he should still be in bed.

Leaving me at the door he went upstairs.

Irina - [I'm already here... so I might as well say that I'm leaving tonight]

Entering the living room I saw Mrs. Hyoudou holding little Tsukihime who was cradling a cute teddy bear in her small arms.

Issei - Hey mom! Have you seen Yu-nii he's not the room?

Mrs. Hyoudou - That's strange where could he be, he was with us last night before we went to bed.

Irina - [Yu's not here?]

While we were starting to get worried about Yu, Mr. Hyoudou came into the living room with a cup of coffee and a piece of paper.

Mr. Hyoudou - I think this will answer your questions.

He passed me the letter and I read it out loud for everyone to here.

Irina - "Something came up and I had to go back to Kyoto early, I arranged an early morning ticket and took a taxi to the station. Don't worry about me I'll be home next time I get an extended break. Love Yu... P.S. I hope little Tsukihime likes the teddy bear I made for her it took a while to make."

Reading this I felt disappointed inside. Even if it wasn't intentional I still came over but, when I did he wasn't here anymore. I was leaving tonight and I don't know when I'd be back, but I didn't want our last talk to end up like this what am I going to do?

Yu has been the only boy I have ever really been close with and I thought we would be together. Now however we have been separated once again. I began to feel depressed but then a thought came to my mind.

Irina - [I may not have the courage to speak to him now it's not like I won't in the future.]

After spending a couple of minutes in the Hyoudou residence I made my way back to the hotel my family and I were staying at. And in my had was a slip of paper with a phone number on it.
