Soryu's POV

It was 02.30 am. and I had woken up only to discover that _ was lying really close to me. Like, really. She was literally hugging me. I couldn't help but smile. She looked so cute. I moved my arm a little so that she could get more comfortable.

How in the world did this happen? Not that I mind though… I looked at her again. You really are too trusting… you know that? I caressed her cheeks and whispered in her ears, "Don't forget that I'm a man too…" I whispered in her ear.

I hadn't been able to fall asleep after I discovered how close _ was. I had spent the last hours combing through her hair and stroking her back. The clock had just passed 05.00 when I got a text message from Inui. It said that the Ice Dragons had received a treating letter. Inui had suggested that we had an emergency meeting, which I had agreed to. The clock was now 05.20 and I had to get up. I'm sorry _ but I have to leave.

I gently shook her shoulder but she didn't budge. I chuckled. She's a heavy sleeper… I tried calling her name "_." She stirred a little. "_. Wake up."

"Five more minutes…" she complained as she stretched out.

"I'd love to let you sleep more but I've got a meeting to attend, so…" I trailed off.

I took her a while to understand what was going on but when she did, she looked up at me and I cleared my throat. "Look, I've still got a meeting, so… if you could let me go, that'd be great." I saw her eyes widen as she frantically tried to get off me.

"Oh yeah, I-I'm so so s-sorry, Soryu. I-I don't know how this happened, I, Um-"

"-It's ok, _. Really." I told her with a smile. I hope I haven't scared her too much. This is probably a nightmare to her. To wake up in a mobster's cold embrace…

After I had changed clothes, I had assured her that everything was fine and that she had nothing to worry about. I knew that I probably should tell her about what had happened but I didn't want to worry her. I told her that I was still early and that she should go back to bed. I then grabbed my gun and walked out the door. God how I wish I could stay in bed with her longer…


At the office

"Sir!" An exited Inui ran up to me as soon as I entered the office.

"What's wrong, Inui?" I asked him. Inui quickly pulled out the letter and laid it on the office desk right in front of me. I picked up the letter and read it. Oh no. This is bad. The letter was written using old newspaper letters that were cut out and glued to the letter, the person behind it clearly knew what he was doing.

I know about her. I know she's with you. She belongs to me, and I will get her. No matter what…

That's all the letter said.

"They must be talking about _." I put the letter down and confronted Inui.

"We can't let him take princess!" He exclaimed. Inui was right. There was no way, NO WAY, I would let him take _. Her safety was top priority. There's not much we can do unless we find out who sent the letter, so now all we can do is to keep a close eye on her.


When I got back from the office I was greeted with a wonderful smell of… eggs? I looked into the kitchen and there was _, making breakfast. I thought I told her to sleep.

"_? You're up?" I asked and slumped down at the kitchen table.

"Yeah I couldn't sleep, so I figured I'd make some breakfast!" She answered enthusiastically. Poor _. She had no clue about what is going on outside of this hotel.. "Here ya go." She gave me the plate and I couldn't help but stare at it. "What's wrong? Don't you like omelets?" She questioned.

"No, no. That's not it. I just… I'm just surprised that you made me breakfast as well."

"Well of course I was going to make you breakfast as well!" She giggled. "I wouldn't just make it for myself and let you sit there with nothing to eat, geez…" She laughed a bit.

"Well, thank you." I picked up a huge spoonful of omelet and put it in my mouth.

"Is it good?" She asked. I nodded in respond. This was amazing! This is the best thing I have ever eaten in my entire life!

"Yeah, I really love you… -r omelets!" I chocked out. "I love your omelets! They're really good…" I blushed. Shit. That was way too close. I can't just let things like that slip out. I hope she didn't notice…
