Chapter 2

"Shall we grab some dinner? My treat," he said and she looked at him

Soon, they were in a barbecue house with many different food items around them on the table and grill and there was a pot of soup on the table as well and he smiled as Maika ate all the food that was piled onto her plate

"You're not eating?" She asked

"I am but it seems that you can eat enough for the two of us" he replied

"I think I can as well" she said

"Say Mai, how do you actually spend your time nowadays?" He asked and she paused

"Hmm... I walk around then stuff myself, then play and stuff myself some more and then I go to the arcade and trash all the guys there and other stuff" she replied and he sweat-dropped

"How do you earn your income then? The last time you were a psychiatrist right?" He asked and she nodded

"I didn't like staying in a room so now I just help whoever needs my help urgently. On the side though, I earn money by 'guessing' the thoughts of others" she replied and he chuckled

"No matter what we do, it seems that the two of us end up helping others in such ways" he said

"Since we can't do anything about it, we might as well put our powers to good use. With lesser people consumed by dark thoughts and feelings, there are lesser chances of people being possessed" she said

"True" he said as she piled food on her plate again and he sweat-dropped while everyone stared in amazement and he smiled and joined her in her eating and when he was full, she was still going strong and a little bit later, she put down her chopsticks

"Hm, I think that I should stop here for today" she said and he laughed, waving over the waitress who came with the bill and he paid her and the two of them got up and left the shop and ended up walking around in the park with an ice-cream in hand

"Mai, you're really amazing" he said and she looked at him, licking her chocolate and chocolate chip ice-cream

"Sasame, you're amazing too" she said

"I don't really think so" he said and she shook her head

"I think Sasame's amazing. Always so warm to everyone. Sasame's always caring for people, trying to solve their problems, putting yours aside. But I know it, Sasame's inner turmoil..." she said softly and he stopped walking

"Mai" he said as she glanced up at the full moon before glancing at him

"Sasame, you don't have to bear everything alone. Leafe Knights will be together forever. We have many years spent together. Sasame is always solving people's problems because you're a good listener, but in return, there's no one to solve your problems. Just because Sasame is a Leafe Knight, it doesn't mean that your control of your feelings is stronger" she said and he smiled a small smile

"That's true" he said and she smiled at him and his eyes widened as she hardly smiled at anyone except Mannen and the other two, mostly Mannen

"That's why I will listen to Sasame when no one else will" she said and his eyes softened and he reached out, taking hold of her hand and pulled her to his body

"Mai..." he whispered and she looked up at him while he cupped her cheek gently

"Sasame?" She said and he kissed her and she blushed

"Arigatou Mai..." he whispered against her lips

"It's okay to cry Sasame" she said, stroking his cheek

"Lend me your body for now" he said and she nodded and he hugged her tightly, dropping his ice-cream and tears rolled down his cheeks

She just stayed there, holding him while he cried. He didn't know how long they stayed that way, but she didn't complain, she just held him and didn't feel anything but his feelings.
