"If I have to choose now," I began, "I guess I would have to choose you sir."

"Me?" Katsuragi asked staring at me confused.

I nodded my head, "you already saved my life before so why not?"

"Awe," Sora said sadly.

"At least you chose Daichi if you weren't going to choose me," Subaru said as he rested his hand on my shoulder, "he is good enough."

"Now that this has been settled," Daichi began as his cheeks reddened and he yelled, "get back to work." The bodyguards went back to doing their jobs while Emiko and Kaiji left the room and Daichi gestured for me to follow him, "so now we will be making a plan. We believe it will be safer if you stay here at the prime minister's residence. You will not be alone because Ms. Yamazaki will be here too." I stared at him in shock as I remembered the plan I made for this weekend. We stopped outside the office door and Daichi closed the door.

"I have a question, what if I have a plan to do something?" I asked.

"For safety reasons it would be best to cancel if possible," Daichi said as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously, "do you have plans?"

"Yes... I sort of had a date planned," I replied nervously.

Daichi sighed, "is there anyway you can cancel it?" I have been waiting for this for too long. I cannot just cancel it. My cheeks reddened as I looked down at my feet. I could not tell him that; it is too embarrassing to say aloud especially to a guy I barely knew. "If not I would have to join you on the date," he stated and I imagined Daichi as a third wheel on the date and laughed. How would Takao react to that? Wait, how would I explain this to Takao? Damn.

"I-I don't know," I muttered.

"I would watch you from afar so you would get your privacy," Daichi stated, "you do not need to worry about me interrupting your date."

I looked up at Daichi and smiled, "that sounds good. Is it alright though?"

Daichi nodded his head, "it will be fine. I will probably need to do some background research into the guy first, what is his name?"

"He's a good man," I stated.

"Name"

"Takao Maruyama," I replied, "he is a lawyer."

"Okay," Daichi said as he wrote the name down, "do you have any more questions?" I hesitated before shaking my head no. "Okay, a room has been set up for you next to Ms. Yamazaki's" Daichi began as we walked down the corridor, "for now we are going to go to your apartment to pick up essentials and anything else you would need."

"Okay," I said as we exited the building.


I lied down on the bed uncomfortably. I am not saying the bed itself was uncomfortable, it was the most comfortable bed I have ever layed on, but… I do not know what so say. It just feels abnormal for me to be on this bed. I sighed as I rolled onto my side and stared at the wall as my phone went off. I picked it up to see Takao calling.

I smiled as I answered the call, "hey."

"Hi Naomi," Takao said, "are you busy?"

"No, I am free at the moment," I replied.

"Good," Takao said, "I was wondering if we could talk about next weekend."

"Sure," I said as I rolled onto my back, "umm… do you have any ideas?"

Takao laughed, "I know a good place to have dinner, unless there was something specific you want to do?"

"No," I said smiling, "what place?"

"Surprise," Takao responded, "do you want me to meet you at your place around six tomorrow?"

"Sure," I said and froze. Wait, at my house… I forgot about the situation already. What will Daichi say about this?

I sighed as Takao asked, "is something wrong?"

"Oh no, everything's fine!" I nearly yelled as someone knocked on the door, "hey can I talk to you later?"

"Umm… sure, but are you sure you are ok-" Takao began.

"I will talk to you over the weekend," I cut him off, "I can't wait, bye." I hung up the phone and rushed to the door. I opened it to see the man I was thinking about earlier, Daichi. "Is something wrong?" I asked curiously.

"I wanted to talk to you about tomorrow," he stated.

"Mind reader," I gasped.

"Huh."

"Nothing," I smiled nervously.

Daichi sighed, "what time tomorrow?"

"Six," I answered.

"Okay, do you know wh-" he began to ask.

I cut him off and said, "he wanted to meet me at my place. He wouldn't tell me the location of the date, he said it was a surprise." Daichi sighed as he became lost in thought for a few minutes.

"It is okay," Daichi stated, "I will follow you two."

"So I can't tell him about you," I asked.

"It is better if you keep the situation quiet," Daichi said with a smile, "so we will leave here at five." I nodded my head as he listed the plan; his message went through one ear and out the other.
