Chapter 2 :

Mamori walked towards the Kobayakawa's residence. She was still a few meters away from the house yet she can hear all the teasing and shouting.

"They never change, don't they," she thought.

Despite the fact that she wasn't feeling well, it made her smile. She was busy during the season. Orders of pastries and cream puffs are flooding. She was too busy to rest actualy. Yuu has been so thoughtful though. He was helping her out with some of her treats. Today was the only rest that she has but her body was too tired. She just doesn't want to spoil Yuu's holiday. He was waiting for this day since he was able to play with his uncles at the nearby stadium.

A cold wind blew and it made her shiver, she was burning with fever. She blew out some air to heat up her gloves-covered hands. Her vision was blurry now and didn't know exactly if she would last the whole day.

She was just too thankful after seeing the Kobayakawa's door. She softly knock on the door as the wave of nausea hit her. When she tried to knock again she lost her balance and everything seemed to turn. And before she lost conciousness she saw a devilish figure with green eyes who was staring at her.

Yoichi.

And that was her last thought before she succumb to the darkness.

Oh Shit!

Yoichi automatically stretched his arms to catch the unconcious Mamori. The moment her skin brushed his he knew she was sick.

"Mom!" Yuu ran towards his parents as worry flooded his young face.

The rest of the team went to see what happened and found Mamori in Yoichi's arms, bridal style.

Yoichi looked down at his son and smirked, he was the devil incarnate after all and he needs to put up a front, but Yuu saw past his father's defense. When it comes to his mom, his dad was a mental slob.

"It's okay, kid. I'll take care of her," the fear in the devil's eyes were unmistakeble.

Yuu nodded with a determined frown.

"Old man!" he snapped at Musashi. "Get my car and drive us to the hospital!"

Musashi silently followed and went to Yoichi's devil car and drove to the hospital.

"Fuck! Hit on it, old man! She's burning with fever," he yelled at Musashi.

"Relax, Yoichi! She'll be fine," though worried, Musashi remained calm.

"Shut up and drive!" Yoichi snapped at him again.

Musashi smirked as he observed Yoichi. He never changed, he was still the devil incarnate himself. But this Yoichi had grew up and matured. Unfortunately for him, his heart was tied to the beautiful lady in his arms. Musashi knew that everything will be better from this moment on. He was waiting to seee what the devil would do to tame a wild angel like Mamori.

Back at the Kobayakawa's residence, Yuu was sitting staring at the front door where his parents went out. He felt someone sat beside him and gave him a hug.

"Don't worry, Yuu. Mamo-nee will be fine," Sena assured him.

Yuu nodded in understanding.
