Morning.

[Y/n] groans. She feels embarrassed about how she acted in front of Rindou whenever she recalls the memory of it.

She blames it all to that voice she heard. It just appeared so randomly that it caught her off guard.

And speaking of Rin, he went home after having breakfast with the cute siblings.

And right now, [Y/n]'s wondering inside her room about what's that child's purpose and who she is exactly. "I can't believe I let a child curse at me.. Wait, she said last night when she showed me something.." the female mumbled.

"Don't tell me..." she paused, her eyes now narrowed. "Is she the original [Y/n]?" She blinked her eyes at her own statement.

She shook her head. "If she is then how come she's aware of the world I live in..?" Another groan came out of her.

"It just doesn't add up!" She huffs. "More questions and still no answers!" She heaved next while ruffling her hair in exasperation.

When she bangs her head on the desk then hears and feels her phone vibrate. [Y/n] lazily gets said phone and flips it open to check who messaged her.

Five from the older Haitani, Ran and two from Yuzuha Shiba.

Just wanted to check on you. I heard what

happened from Rindou.

you to the hospital?

[Y/n] blankly stared at the message first before her lips curled up. Thanks to Ran, the female's annoyed expression slowly disappeared and was replaced with a smile.

On the side of Ran Haitani, he has a silly smile on his face. "Ah, seriously." He let out a dreamy sigh after reading the chat he just had with [Y/n].

"She's so cute."

"Who?" Rindou asked, seeing his older brother grin when he entered the living room to get a glass of water.

Ran didn't reply and just continued to smile which grew a little more. Rin narrowed his eyes when his brother only gave a playful look.

"Whatever.." he huffed and gulped down the water then went back to his room to play with his Dj mixer.

Back to [Y/n]'s side, she returns back to the messages and checks Yuzuha's this time.

Hey, you sure you'll be alright with

coming all the way here?

If you change your mind, message me

and I'll have Hakkai pick you and

Akio up :)

Thank you but I don't wanna trouble Kai :D

Also, we'll be over after having lunch.

You aren't troubling anyone. Also, how

about having lunch here instead?

Are you sure?

Of course I am.

Alright! I remember Akio telling me

last time that he missed your cooking :D

How can he say that when he has such an

amazing cook like you at home?

Oh, stop...you're making me blush.

I'm not lying though.

Thank you, Yuzu. For making me flustered.

You're welcome :)

Anyways, we'll be over before 12. See you and Hakkai soon

Feeling's mutual. Be careful on your way

here :D

Will do. Thank you ^^

On Yuzuha's side, she has a pleasant smile on her face and a light hue of red spreading across her cheeks.

The brown haired teen opens the fridge when she entered the kitchen of their house.

She ties her hair into a ponytail and turned her head a little, "Hakkai." She calls out to her younger brother who was on the couch at the living room.

"I invited [Y/n] and Akio to eat lunch here instead and they'll be over before 12." She informed. "Wanna help me prepare the food?"

The tall boy's eye widens at the news. "They are?" Yuzuha nods her head as she puts on an apron.

Hakkai stands up from his seat and quickly strode his way in the kitchen. "Do we have enough ingredients? Should I go to the market and buy some more?" He instantly asked the questions.

"They're coming here for a simple lunch, not a feast..." Yuzuha blankly states while Hakkai's cheeks turns red as he got flustered by his sister's words.

"I'm just so nervous since [Y/n]'s coming over!" He exclaimed. "Yeah, I could tell." Was the girl's only reply.

"...What're we gonna cook?" Hakkai asked after a moment of silence went by.

Yuzuha answered her brother with a simple, "Chicken teriyaki."

Hakkai beamed. "That's easy!" He chirped as he gets a knife. "You go do that while I chop up these vegetables."

The blue hair boy let out a small hum. "Maybe we should cook some tempura, too." He suggests. "Akio loves 'em."

Yuzuha ponders about his suggestion. "I also thought of that but we don't have much time." She sighed. "I'll just cook some rolled eggs instead."

Hakkai beams. "Alright! Akio likes 'em too, and [Y/n] enjoys our cooking. It's a win-win."

Back to [Y/n]'s side.

"Oh, [Y/n]." A familiar voice called which caught both siblings' attention to turn their heads. "What a surprise to see you both here."

"Ah, Masa-nii!" Akio beamed and waved his hand. What an adorable kid.

Masashi smiles and waves back. "Hello, Akio." He gently spoke to the little boy who only continued to smile ever so brightly before turning to look at the [h/c] girl with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

It was an act that only he, himself knows...

"I'm sorry...if only I stayed by your side or even gave you a lift back home.." he said while looking dejected.

[Y/n] put a hand on her neck with a sheepish look on her face. "Don't worry. It wasn't your fault." She replied with a smile. "And it's not like one of us exactly knew what was gonna happen."

"Yeah.." Masashi hummed and slightly nodded his head. "Anyways, it looks like you two have somewhere else to be."

The female took her phone and checked the time on it. "Ah, right. Well then, we'll be on our way." She told him with a smile.

"Bye bye, Masa-nii!" Akio also bids him farewell while waving his little hand at him which the older male does as well.

"Yeah," he tells them as he watched their figures get further away. "See you soon."

Masashi turns around and heads to where a black car is. The door was opened for him by his driver and he enters inside without saying anything to the man.

"Those damn delinquents." He muttered with clenched jaw that a vein showed. "They're ruining everything. If it weren't for them my dear [Y/n] would be by my side!"

"I wish every single one of them would just disappear out of my sight!" The driver pays him no mind and starts the engine of the car.

Though, he is afraid of the fuming boy that he dares not to ask him about his mood and just focuses on the road ahead of him.

"Ah, my sweet [Y/n].." he sighed dreamily when he remembered said girl's smiling face but then his lovestruck expression changed once again.

It turned dark when he recalled the memory of the incident on Aug 3rd. "The more you spend more time with them the more you get tainted by their vile behavior..

He took his phone and turned it on to stare at the lock-screen, the photo of [Y/n] to be exact.

"Don't worry." A sinister smile crept up on the boy's face. "I'll absolutely find a way to save you from them, and for us to be together, my love."
