Chapter Four: The start of impediments

After the raven haired female revealed to Ryuhou on how much she loved him, the emerald haired man decided to reveal his as well. Since they revealed that care for each other, they've finally understood that they need to be with each other. This ended them both sharing a night together.

It was morning already; the sun was shining through the window, at the two who were sleeping in their bed.

The both of them had their hands around each other as if in protection of one another. Having her head lay upon her lover's well toned-chest, she content that she shared a night with him.

The both of them had slept well, even though they went to bed late, they still had a night full of bliss.

The night before them was the perfect night for the both of them to discuss the matter that was going between them. Not letting anyone or to say no one to bother them.

After the sun shining on both of the still sleeping couple, one of them had woken up from the light.

The Kiryu heiress had woken by opening her eyes just enough to see that who was still there with her; embracing her still.

She looks up to face his sleepy face and smiles. While looking at him, she starts have memories of the last night and how she had to confront his cold-exterior that was protecting him from her. But, now that they have had their conversation on the conflict that was still going on between them, things were seemed to get better for her…or so she thought.

She gets up from the bed, gently not waking her sleepy partner, and goes to the restroom.

After she gets out of the restroom, she still finds Ryuhou still sleeping. So, she decides to not to wake him up and leaves the room, for the reason of going to the kitchen and go cook breakfast for him and herself.

After she closes the door gently, the sleepy emerald haired man finally wakes up. It was a failed attempt for Mimori to close the door gently, since he could still hear it.

After opening his eyes, he realizes that Mimori isn't beside him, but remembers that he had woken up to a sound from a closing door. So, he knows that Mimori must have gotten up and went to the kitchen to cook something for breakfast.

After a few seconds, he gets up and goes to the restroom to take a bath.

"Great…I need to tell him…" said the blue haired female that was walking through the corridors of Holy.

She was the alter user of Devote; power to use gain or lose energy from others. But, to others on Holy, she was know as the young feisty blue haired female to always be following Ryuhou; her assigned partner. To some, she would be the known as someone who devotes to her work or her goals. But, to others she is known as; Sherrice.

"I need to tell him…" said the blue-haired female as she kept walking to her destination.

Mimori was still in the kitchen trying to finish making breakfast. While, she didn't know that a huge pain was coming to inflict her.

Meanwhile, the emerald haired man has come out of the bathroom and already changed. He, then, starts heading towards the door and leaves closing the door behind him.

As he walks towards the kitchen, he sees Mimori cooking. He couldn't help it but just stay in his hiding place and watch her cook with happiness on her face. He, too, feels happiness within himself. Though, knowing that he doesn't need to be someone else than himself, he's finally allowed himself to be 'him' around the person that he cares about the most. He finally is himself around her without his cold-exterior.

He sees that Mimori has her back turned and makes his move.

He goes behind the unnoticed Mimori and scares her by embracing from behind. Wrapping his arms around her waist, resting his head on her right shoulder.

"Ryuhou…" finally said Mimori as she kept cooking. "You scared me…"

"Oh, did I?" said Ryuhou as he bended his head down to the raven-haired neck and started kissing her from there.

"Ryuhou…stop…that tickles" giggled Mimori as she tried to keep her attention on the cooking. "I'm going to burn the food Ryuhou…" said the still giggling Mimori.

Then, Ryuhou stopped kissing Mimori from the neck and just let his head rest on her shoulder.

A few minutes passed, and none of them said anything to each other.

"I'm glad that you came to me yesterday…" finally spoked Ryuhou as he tighten his grip on Mimori's waist. "And told me the way you consider me as someone that deserves you…" he continued to say.

"Ryuhou…" Mimori interrupted him. "I came to you was…of wanting to be with you" said Mimori as Ryuhou listened. "I, also, came because of wanting to break that wall that you've created between you and me" she finished saying as she also had finished cooking.

"I know…" said Ryuhou while he broke the embrace. "I know you came to me for that reason…and I'm glad you did" as he said that he turned Mimori around and bending himself down to only touch his lips with hers.

First it was kiss, but then Ryuhou deepen it as tighten his grip on Mimori and making her give him entrance to her. Minutes passed as the both kept the on going war between their mouths.

Then, Mimori broke the kiss by pushing Ryuhou gently; bring her arms down from his shoulders to his arms.

"Is something wrong?" asked Ryuhou while looking down at Mimori.

"Oh, no there's nothing wrong…" she answered as she grabbed his both hands. "It's just I need to go and get something from my dorm room…" she said while looking up to him.

"Ok…" he sighed, but let it go as he gave Mimori another kiss.

"Thanks…I won't take long…be right back" she said as she back away from his embrace and started walking towards the exit door of Ryuhou's dorm room.

After closing the door, she started walking towards her room. As for Ryuhou, he waited while he seated himself on top of one of the couches that was across from the exit door of his room.

"Oh, finally I found your room" said the blue haired female as stopped in front of the door that had the name initials of Ryuhou Tairen.

She, then, started knocking on the door.

Ryuhou gets up thinking that's it's Mimori who is on the door, and goes to open it. But, to in surprise, it was Sherrice.

"Sherrice…what are you doing? "asked Ryuhou while he looked down at her with his casual face. "Is there a meeting of any sort?" he asked another question while he waited for the female alter user to answer him.

"No, Ryuhou…" answered Sherrice as she looked up to him. "I came here for other reasons" she said as she started to move into Ryuhou's room slowly.

"Which is?" he asked as he waited for her to answer.

"Ryuhou!" yelled Sherrice as she ran into him pushing him towards the couch that was across from the entrance room. "I love you!" she said it as she forced a kiss on Ryuhou.

Ryuhou was too surprised to react to any action at all.

"Ok, now that I have this, I can show Ryuhou what I wanted to give him on our first reunion" thought the happy Mimori as she walked through the hallways towards Ryuhou's dorm.

She had in her hand a triangular-stone that was colored all silver with a cross indented in the middle of it. It was something that Ryuhou had given to her during their childhood.

"Well, I'm here" she said as she opened the door. "I hope that Ryuhou will accept it" she thought as she finally opened the door fully. "Ryuhou I'm bac…" she stopped as she was shocked to see what was happening in front of her, to only find Ryuhou and Sherrice kissing.

After Ryuhou heard Mimori's voice, he finally reacted to Sherrice kiss and pushed her away. But, it was too late, Mimori was standing by the door looking all shocked, showing pains of a broken heart around her face.

"Mimori, it's not what you think…" he said as he started walking towards her. "Let me explain…" he said again as he looked down at her, but the only reaction he saw from Mimori was tears coming out of her eyes.

"Ryuhou there isn't anything to explain…I have seen enough already…" she said as she backed away. "Here I was bringing you this…I'm sorry you think that I'm someone you can play around with" with that she surprised Ryuhou.

She, then, ran away from him, leaving the shocked Ryuhou just stand there.

As Mimori kept running towards her room, she thought, "Why did this happen to me?" as she kept crying.
