Everybody was a little surprise how Kyotaro Oshima didn't seem to spend as many nights away from home as before. How could he, Sachiko Komatsu was promoted so she now closed the store more often. And since the group terrorizing women hasn't been caught up yet he just couldn't let her go home alone.
As he was walking her home once again Sachiko open her mouth too speak, something usual since their walks were usually silent.
"Oshima-san as much as I appreciate the escort service, i assure you it's not needed. In fact it makes me uneasy"
"Eh? Are you stupid woman? It's dangerous!" He scolded.
She sighed and frowned "I don't like it. Look Oshima-san when we started this deal it was implied that you didn't have to do this."
"This?"
"This, this caring thing I don't like it"
"Well I do care about you..." He blushed and looked away.
"Oshima-san if you're getting too emotional involved we should end this" She blushed too but it was too dark for Kyotaro to notice
"Sachiko-chan..."
"This is my stop goodbye, also we probably shouldn't see each other anymore."
Kyotaro started going to the hostess club but he noticed that it wasn't as fun as it used to be. He found himself leaving earlier and uninterested in the girls.
When he was home he was mopping around. He didn't know why he just felt... not himself
"What's wrong Kyo? You haven't been to the hostess club in awhile." His oujo asked
"Haven't felt up to it Oujo." He responded.
"Don't tell you've finally fallen in love with someone and she dumped you" She asked jokingly
Kyotaro started thinking "Love?" Do I really love that woman
"Oh are you serious? Who is she?"
"She's the girl from the bookstore..."
"Bookstore? That doesn't seem like your type. What happened?"
"Me and her made a deal, her suggestion, all sex no relationship, no ties free to do whatever we wanted with whoever we wanted"
"Did you found someone else while you were with her?"
"No..."
"How come?"
"I just didn't feel like it."
"How is she?"
"She strange, nice i guess. She talks back a lot."
"To a yakuza? She seems like an amazing woman to me" She smirked
"I guess she is..."
"Are you gonna tell her? You know, that you love her."
He let out a weak laugh "I guess I should shouldn't I? What kind of man would I be if I didn't told her."
Kyotaro leaft the same night he got out a little late due to some hoolings making trouble with drugs in his territory. When he arrived at the store it was already closed. But he wasn't about to give up just yet he tehn ran towards her appartment only to find in one of the streets Sachiko being harassed by some punks.
He just stopped there, no one noticed him. He was paralized for the first time in life without knowing what to do
"Stop it leave me alone" She demanded, scared.
"Come on baby with a skirt this short you are literally beggin for it" As one of the guys said this he also shove his hand up her skirt
"Stop it" She shouted
"Come on baby don't be like this, how about a little finger for a taste"
She then shriked "Stop it!"
That was enough to wake kyotaru back from the daze and move into action.
"Hey what the hell ya think you doing in my turf" He said giving them the stink eye
"What the fuck...?" One of them said as he turned to Kyotaru
"I'm from the Ooedo clan and you've been fucking up in our area... Who do you work for eh?"
"I-I-I sorry"
"You better get away from the girl"
"Ah yes"
He then punched the guy to the ground and started kicking him. Sachiko was holding herself on the wall seeing the man she once knew intimatly kick her attackers.
She then grabbed his arm to stop him "Oshima-san please your gonna kill them!"
"So, it's not like scum like them deserve to live"
She then clinged to his arm "It's not worth it... Please I don't want to be here"
He nodded at her "You better tell your boss to not mess in your turf again blood will run."
When they arrived at her appartment she turned to him and said looking down "Thank you Oshima san... for saving me"
"That's why I kept walking you home! Are stupid going home alone knowing those bastards are out"
"Oshima san I really appreaciate your concern but please leave me alone"
Kyotaru then snapped "You really are a stupid woman! You were almost raped right there if I hadn't have been looking for you!"
"What do you mean looking for me?" She asked looking up surprised
He rubbed the back of his head "Goddamnit Sachi-chan, I came here to tell ya that you're special to me. That I actually do care for you."
"Oshima-san what do you mean?"
"Goddamnit Sachiko I love you" He blushed a little as did Sachiko and she hid her face in his chest
"Oshima-san are you really serious?"
"Yes... Never been more serious in my life"
"Do you really want me?"
"Yes"
"I love you Oshima-san"
