Now...it's Layla's turn!

Chapter 7: Layla's Secrets

Soon after Ligress' turn, he felt a little nervous about reading Layla's secrets by scroll because he does see her as a second mother for Max and he wouldn't want to do anything to embarrass her or Takami, but at the same time...he has to do this in order to get to know Layla a little bit more and find out some things he never knew about her before and he turned to Layla and said, "Okay...sorry for the silence. It's Layla's turn now."

Layla closed her eyes for a second and looked completely pertrified that Max can actually read some things about her out loud in front of everyone and she handed Max her scroll and as he gave it to her, he looks at her and mouths the words 'I'm sorry' and Layla just nods her head stating that it's okay and he opened the scroll and reads the embarrassing secrets. He clears his throat and said, "Layla's embarrassing moments; one time I was soaking in the tub, I fell asleep and I sunk deeper inside there and when I woke up and had my head back up to the surface, I saw Takami coming in the tub and both of us were really embarrassed when we saw each other naked...well, Taka only saw my head, but I saw everything else of him."

Ryo, Kiba and Tamaki were jaw-dropped after this and Layla groaned in embarrassment and Tamaki looked at Takami for a second and said, "I can't believe she saw you naked, Taka."

"Did you guys do...?" asked Ryo, trying hard not to laugh.

Layla and Takami immediately knew where it was going and Takami lets out a slight growl to Ryo and said, "No...we didn't."

"I'm sure Layla wanted a piece of you." Kiba said, snickering.

Takami growled back at Kiba as he was visibly blushing in embarrassment and said, "Zip it, Kiba!"

Then, Max continued to go on and he read, "The second embarrassing moment I ever encountered was while I was babysitting Kovu and Borko and they thought that it would be funny if I would wear Takami's underwear on my face and when I woke up, I didn't really realize that my face was covered in Taka's underwear. I had thought that Takami would pull something like this, but I knew him too well that he'd never come up something sick like this...so of course, I heard Kovu giggling and I was gonna scold them, but Takami saw me when he came in Kovu's house and it was super awkward...for both of us."

"Okay...where was I when that happened? I would've loved to have gotten a drawing of this." Ryo snickered.

"Did that really happen?" asked Max.

"Yes, it did happen. Oh...did these boys have a big scolding from me." Layla said, very sternly.

Finally, Max read the final embarrassing moment from Layla and he reads, "Final one...I was in a huge hurry to get to training and I had overslept and rushed out of my room and headed to the training hall and by the time I got there, everyone was staring at me and I couldn't understand why and it wasn't until Kiba stared at me harder that I realized I had ran out with my underwear on and worst of all, Takami was shocked and he kinda turned away and I had thought I had embarrassed him. To this day, I never really fully recovered from this experience."

Layla turned to Kiba for staring at her at the time this had occurred and she asked, "Why were you staring at me when I was half naked, Kiba?"

Kiba didn't know what to say after this and he started stammering and said, "Well...I wanted to see what it'd be like if I was in Takami's position that you look hot in your underwear."

Takami growled at Kiba for that comment as he noticed Layla's ears flattening down by her embarrassment and he said, "Dude...the minute this game is finished, prepare to get yourself in huge trouble."

Max could easily move on and he cleared his throat for a second and said, "Okay...let's all move on to the next category; things you did as a kid. For Layla, you wrote I've been alone for most of my life and was with a group called Anonymous Strike."

Takami was actually surprised to find out that Layla was a part of that group and mostly everyone was surprised with this, but they had already knew that she used to be in the group during the time they confronted Kamikaze and Takami could tell that Layla's trying her best to block out the memories and he came closer to her and said, "Hey, it's all over with now."

Layla rested her head on Takami's shoulder for deep comfort and she felt like she needed it and she said, "Thank you, Taka."

And finally, Max went forward to the final category for Layla's secret and reads, "And we got fears. Being alone, losing Takami, having my past catch up with me and also...watching people get hurt."

Soon enough, Max remembers a time whenever Layla was overprotective of him when he was eight at some point and realizes that the reason she's very overprotective of Max is because she's afraid that he might get hurt or something and he blinked his eyes in response to that and never knew how much afraid she was for him if something happened to him.

"I think I understand you now." Max added.

"Now you see how much I'm always afraid that something or someone will hurt you?" asked Layla.

"Yes, I do." Max replied, in a sympathetic tone.

That was a lot of embarrassing moments for Layla. Up next...it's Chronos' turn!
