Chapter 2

The words that Takasugi uttered made kagura's heart flutter. She can't help but stare at his mannequin-like face that was almost covered by his pitch black hair. His physical attributes were nearly perfect. He was tall and good-looking. No one would doubt that he had a nice body even with his clothes on. At that moment, Kagura thought that he had seen the most attractive guy (even more attractive than Sougo) she had even seen in her entire life.

There was a romantic ambiance in the room after Kagura's confession but this was instantly ruined by a latecomer who noisily walked towards his seat after hearing what the transfer student had said. It was like he wasn't ashamed of being late and he doesn't care whether he was ruining the mood in the classroom.

That day, Kagura's attention was focused on Takasugi. She would always find herself staring at him. He was so damn hot. Kagura especially liked his jaw line which she found so sexy. After some time, she would remember her sudden confession then she would blush thinking that she shouldn't have said those words. She almost forgot her recent heartbreak with Sougo.

Takasugi, on the other hand, remained mysterious. He didn't talk much and often stared blankly into space.

And Sougo?

Even after that rude behaviour he showed that morning, he was still indifferent. He hadn't showed any signs of jealousy even after the whole class started teasing Takasugi and Kagura. And for some unknown reasons, he was even being extra sweet with otae.

"I'm glad Kagura is finally moving on" Otae said as she and Sougo were going home.

"Hmm? Is she?" Sougo replied obliviously.

His answer made otae think that he didn't care. After all, Kagura's confession to Takasugi wasn't even a big deal for him. In short he didn't give a damn. This made Otae feel at ease. She assumed that there was no more lingering feelings left between Sougo and Kagura.

After Sougo walked Otae home, he went to the bus stop, where he and Kagura usually wait for their bus as they go home. That same bus stop where he rejected her.

But those memories, including those that happened two years ago were all part of the past for him. He was able to move on. He was able to let go. He was serious when he said he loves Otae. He was happy with her. He was happy with his life.

Waiting at the bus stop gave him a feeling of nostalgia. But then again, it was all part of the past. So when the bus finally stopped in front of him, he got in without even looking back.

As the bus where Sougo got in drove off, a red head pigtailed girl came.

"Geez! I hate that old geezer Ginpachi-sensei! Just because I wasn't paying attention at his lesson he would instantly send mo to detention? And here I was thinking that I would be able to go home early today." Kagura said as she was waiting at the bus stop. If only she came a second earlier, she could have come across Sougo.

When the bus came, she got in and went straight home. That whole time she was sitting at the bus, the only thing she was thinking was Takasugi. She realized, it was because they were destined that she fell in love with him at first sight. But still, she regretted confessing like that to him. She thought that she should've made a good impression first before confessing.

When she got home, she was welcomed by the smell of baked cookies. Her mother loved baking. And Kamui, his brother, loved eating.

"Okaerinasai!" Her mother greeted her.

"Yo imouto-chan! Here have some!" Kamui greeted her as he passed her a bowl of baked cookies.

"Kagura, can you give some of these cookies to our new neighbour next door? I told your brother a while ago to greet them and give these cookies as welcoming present but he is to stubborn." Her mother told her. They were living in a three-storey housing complex where every family knew one another. So it was only natural for them to be friendly to their new neighbour.

Kagura looked at his smiling brother angrily. "You're such a pain in the ass! Why are you always making things hard for me? You're older than me so you are supposed to be the one doing the errands!"

Her mother reprimanded her for talking disrespectfully to her brother. Since she wasn't able to refuse her mother's favour, she was forced to greet their new neighbour and give the cookies.

She went to the unit beside theirs and knocked at the door.

"Excuse me! Umm...I'm one of your neighbours. I just have a little something here as a welcome present. Hello?" She said as she was waiting for someone to open the door.

The door creaked as it opened. Kagura wasn't really concerned about their new neighbour. She just wanted to give the cookies and go straight home. But she was shocked when she saw an eye-patched handsome guy opened the door.

"OKAASAAAAANN! WHY? Why didn't you tell me it was TAKASUGI SHINUSKE?" Kagura shouted as she barged into their house.

"What do you mean?" her mother asked.

"Our new neighbour? Why didn't you tell me it was him?" Kagura said.

"Because we don't know it was him. Who is him anyway? Do you know him?" Her mother replied.

At that moment, Kamui interrupted their conversation and said "Takasugi Shinsuke-kun? I think I've heard that name before. I just don't know where. Where have I heard of that name?"

"Anyway, why are you so shocked Imouto-chan? Are you into him?" Kamui added, obviously teasing his little sister.

"O-of-course not!" Kagura answered defensively.

"So suspicious..." Kamui said as he moved closely towards his sister. Then he said, "oh well, do what you want to do. Like whoever you want to like. You're obviously into him."

Kagura was really irritated with her brother but she knew she can't win against him so she dismissed the topic and walked to her room.

Kamui was still having fun teasing her and before she entered her room her brother asked her,

"If you're into that guy now...

...then what about that Okita guy?"

Kagura turned around and looked at her brother with a menacing smile on his face.
