The sound of my alarm for the next day woke me up. I reached to turn it off. I sat back in my bed and turned towards where Kazuma should have been. I then realized the sound of the shower in the back ground. I grabbed the pillow he rested in and turned to scream into it. My happiness was over flowing to the point of no control. It was like there was a glow inside me and no one could turn it off. The smell of his scent from the pillow made my heart leap. I was too busy trying to calm my heart to notice the shower stopping and the door to the bathroom opening
"Oh, your up! did I wake you?" I jumped in surprise of his voice and embarrassed of being caught smelling his pillow.
"Your still here." I lifted my head to find him in a towel wrapped around his waist. His wet hair dripping down his body. I made my way to the end of the bed and sat looking down to avoid looking at him. Luckily my long hair hid my face otherwise he'd see it blushing madly.
"I promised you didn't I?" I looked up at him then and saw him blushing too. He looked so adorable that I giggled at it to which he blushed more.
"Uh, you don't happen to have any clothes for me here by any chance?" He rubbed his neck in awkwardness.
"I'll go get you some. Where are your bags? If you brought any that is?!" I stood up still avoiding eye contact to his half naked body but it wasn't easy I must say.
"My bags are in the family room". As he said that he realized.
"Jugo's there right now isn't he?" He asked
"Probably, I wouldn't be surprised if he was at this time" I confirmed.
He came and sat next to me with his arms on his knees and his head in his hands. I rested my head against his shoulder to which he looked up and rested his head against mine. Our breathing regulated with each other and our hearts beating to the same rhythm.
"I'd better get your clothes" I sighed, reluctant to leave him.
"alright. Tell me if you have any trouble. I'll be here". He kissed my forehead and I got up to leave when there was a knock at the door. I went to answer the door but not enough where Kazuma could be seen. Yuki was at the door with Kazuma's bags.
" Sorry for disturbing but Master Jugo would like to see you and Master Kazuma once your ready". She bowed and left before I could comment or even say thanks.
"who was that?" Kazuma asked.
"Yuki, she gave me your clothes and said that father would like to see us when we're ready."
"well, we'd better get ready then. Do you wanna take the bathroom or the bedroom?" Only then I realized that I was in mini shorts and a strap top which was too small for me. I squealed, grabbed my clothes and ran towards the bathroom. As I ran past Kazuma he slapped my arse.
"I'm gunna get you for that when I come out". I shouted through the door to the bathroom.
"Looking forward to it" He shouted back.
I quickly had a shower but put a shower cap on my hair so my hair wouldn't get wet, it would take too long to dry my hair. I got out, quickly got changed into my uniform and brushed my hair roughly. I walked into the bedroom to find Kazuma lying down my own side of the bed fast asleep. I tip toed up to him and knelt on the floor beside him.
"what if I told you I loved you." I whispered and traced my hand around his jaw towards to eyes. Around his eyes and over his nose.
"I'd tell you 'I love you too" He replied. I jumped back in surprise as he spoke.
"I-I-I thought you were still asleep!"
"I thought it was impossible to fall in love with a 17-was-16 yr old but somethings surprise you in life". He smirked as he pulled me down on to the bed and pulled me towards him.
"What are you doing? we're going to be late! Yuki said to go see Jugo as soon as we're ready". I was still blushing from his sudden confession. My heart was out of control. It didn't seem real that this was actually happening. Just two days ago I was thinking of letting go of him. I'm glad I held onto him and kept hopeful. I knew that he'd come back and i'm glad he did.
"There's nothing wrong with delaying him a couple of , I don't know when i'll next be able to d this. Besides, we have a whole year to catch up on." His smirk turned into a cheeky grin as he nuzzled my nose with his. I tilted my head towards him, parting my lips slightly meeting his lips. It was a soft kiss but it said a lot. It was full of pain and loneliness and yet full of happiness. It wasn't until he pulled away and wiped away my tears that I noticed I was crying.
"I'm so sorry for leaving you!" I'm so sorry!" Tears welled up in his eyes as he searched mine for forgiveness.
"I can't promise I will never make you cry again but I can promise that whatever happens I will always love" He leaned his head against mine. It was as if he was absorbing as much of me as he could before I disappeared from him.
"Just promise me you'll never leave me again" I responded looking at our hands as they laced through each other.
"I promise that I will never leave you again". I looked up at him sealed the promise with a kiss. This kiss was different, it was like it held our future within it. It said a million words with one simple move.
"Now we are seriously late" He whispered against his lips.
"well, it was your fault" I teased as I pulled away from him. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back
" Was it now? I didn't see you complaining" He retorted.
"I don't think I had much of a chance to" I then stated.
"Oh is it now?" He chuckled. He lifted me up over his shoulder and ran out of the bedroom towards the family.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU WHEN I GET DOWN KAZUMA!" I yelled yet couldn't stop laughing. We were still giggling when we got to the family room. We heard a cough to which Kazuma put me down and I sorted to clothed to make them appropriate.
The room was full of the elders of the Kannagi family. A meeting like this hasn't happened in a long time. I only remember something like this one other time and that was when Kazuma was kicked out of the family. Fear gripped my heart, fear of Kazuma leaving my side. Kazuma must have felt this too seen as he lased his hand through mine and squeezed my hand. I squeezed back which gave me confidence in our promise. He was never going to leave me again. All along the room where the elders dotted on the out-skirts and in the middle of the room where to seats which were facing my father. I guessed to two seats where kazuma's and mine. Kazuma lead me to them and we sat down, not letting go of each others hand. Father looked disapprovingly at them but he didn't comment.
"The meeting is now in session, no one shall leave until this matter is solved" Father's, or in this case, Jugo's voice bellowed. Two servants like Yuki closed and locked the door.
"This meeting is to discuss Kazuma and Ayano's suspected relationship which is now apparent" He referred to the hands but we didn't let go.
"Please state why you came back" Jugo looked at Kazuma.
"I came back to carry on being Ayano's Protector and adviser" Kazuma responded. His words cold and emotionless.
"You have fallen in love with my daughter, is that correct" Jugo asked.
"It is" Kazuma stated.
"And you, Ayano, do you love Kazuma?" Through the whole conversation between my father and Kazuma I kept my head down but when father turned to me I had no choice but to respond.
"I do, father" I lifted my head to look at him in the eyes and I saw a glitter of pride through his eyes but it disappeared as soon as it came so I wasn't sure it was there. I saw in the corner of my eye Kazuma smirk at my response which gave me faith that we would be excepted. Father turned back to Kazuma.
"Would you protect my daughter?" Father asked Kazuma softly.
"with my life, sir!" Kazuma said firmly. Father sighed.
"looks like even if I said no I would lose daughter of mine. I accept you relationship" Father seemed reluctant but he accepted I turned to Kazuma who looked the happiest I have ever seen. He turned to me and smiled his signature smirk. My heart skipped a beat every time I see it.
"Before you two get all lovey dovey on I have conditions! Kazuma stays in the Kannagi household in a separate room! and you two have to be married!" Father seemed to happy with the conditions.
"MARRIED!" I chorused with Kazuma. We looked at each other in disbelief and yet I couldn't have felt any happier.
"Master, I must interject here!" stated one of the elders but father put his hand up to silence him".
"My decision is final!" He turned back to us. "and your response?"
"Well, to be honest sir we haven't had time to think about marriage" Kazuma stated in attempt to calm down but was obviously finding it difficult.
"Yeh, father, we haven't talked bout anything like that yet". I supported Kazuma.
"yet? had time? so you were going to mention it at some point. You have no objection then?"
"well, I guess not" I responded blushing, it seems I've done a lot of it recently.
"really? you'd marry me?"Kazuma looked at me in complete adoration.
"Well, would you happy if I married some else because I sure wouldn't so, why not?" My face was as red as a tomato by now. Kazuma rushed into a hug before anyone could say anything to which Jugo cleared his throat and we remembered where we were. We pulled away from each other, embarrassed.
"Not until Ayano's finished school, she's only got half a year so you could take this time as your engagement. But, for now Ayano has to get to school. Ayano, your bag was organised for you so you can just leave. I'm sure you guys have a lot to talk about so Kazuma, if you will, could you walk Ayano to school."
"It would be my pleasure sir." Kazuma stood up and pulled me along with him
"Thanks dad" I let go of kazuma's hand and rushed towards father giving him a hug. He hugged me back which made the elders uncomfortable.
"Love him well!" He whispered in my ear. After, I went back to Kazuma reached my hand out to him which he gladly took and jogged out the room taking my school bag with me.
