"Iris…just call me Mi-chan" he said looking at her then smiles

Chapter 9:I'm your Knight

"Iris…just call me Mi-chan" he said looking at her then smiles. Iris suddenly remembered the same smile from her dreams. "Then Mi-chan it is…thanks Mi-chan!" she answered back. "Iris-san?" a ninja behind them appeared. "Raiha-kun?" Iris surprisingly looks behind to see the ninja. "What are you doing here?" Tokiya glared at the ninja who was smiling goofily. "I'm here to protect you as master ordered" Raiha explains as he went near the girl beside Tokiya. Tokiya pulled Iris close to him. "I'm just touring her around the campus" he reasoned, not wanting Iris to leave by his side. "I just want to check on her" Raiha said while pulling her close to him while glaring at Tokiya. "There is no need Raiha-kun, we had just finish our campus tour" Iris worriedly answered back wondering why Raiha and Tokiya are throwing dagger stares at each other. Good thing the school bell starts ringing. "Iris we have to go back our class will start soon" Tokiya said while passing Raiha. "Iris-san, I'll be waiting for you outside" Raiha smiles and bows down to her then left.

Dismissal time…

"Bye Iris-san!" Yanagi and the others wave farewell as she wave back as well. "Iris…" whispered a man behind her. "Toki…I mean Mi-chan! Thanks again for the tour, it was a blast!" she gave him a sincere smile. "Just remember…if you need help don't bother asking me, ok?" he said before leaving. "Ok…Bye!" she nodded and bid farewell. "Iris-san!!" another good looking man in his ninja suit was waving at her. He swiftly runs towards the Iris who was just standing right next to the school gate. "How was your first day in school?" he asked excitedly. "Well at first I thought I wouldn't have friends but the next thing I knew people started coming right before me, wanting to be my friend" she answered happily as Raiha still listening. "Anyways…where is Kurei's car?" Iris asked wondering there was no site of a limo anywhere. "I was wondering if you want to walk instead, but if you want I can call the…" he was about to dial to his cell when Iris suddenly stops him by holding his hand. "No walking is fine…rather than being at each end of a limo, we won't have a wonderful conversation" Iris said sincerely. All raiha could do is nod and smile back.

"Iris-san…do you miss your family?" Raiha asked as they walk together at the streets of Tokyo. "I'm an orphan…I don't remember seeing my parents at all…"Iris answered not knowing it just one of Kurei's lies just to let him keep her. "Oh I see…I'm sorry. Anyways I'm an orphan too! Kurei's family adopted me when I was young that is why my loyalty is always for the Mori family" he shares to the surprised girl. "Wow…Kurei is such a wonderful man" Iris she smiles thinking she's glad that his her fiancée. When they were crossing the street a wild driver started rolling over and was about to hit Iris, quickly Raiha pushed her away making him land on top of her. Her blue orbs met his deep blue ones and both cheeks are burning with sensation. "You are just like a prince willing to save a princess" she smiles at him. "I'm so sorry Fu…I mean Iris san" he was about to say Fuuko's name but was stopped after seeing it was another girl. He quickly helps her up and assisted her towards the waiting shed. "I'll report that car later…that bastard!" he glared at the car while remembering its plate number.

Iris noticed Raiha's left palm was bleeding. "Raiha…your palm is bleeding. Let's go home quickly so we can aid it" Iris said with concerned, Raiha nodded instead.

"Raiha you've been with Kurei's side for so long, right?" Iris asked and Raiha reached for the Mansion's gate, Raiha nodded to answer. "How was Kurei before?" she asked with enthusiasm. "He was a kind man. He always cares for others even though he shouldn't be. He is also smart and a bit over protective of what he has" Raiha said while remembering Kurei were before Sodom. "Did he love somebody before me?" she asks. Raiha remembers Kurenai but he remembered that Kurei introduced her only as his sister. "He loves his sister so much that when she died it hurts him to the end…" Raiha said sadly then saw Iris started to get teary eyed. "He also loves me, neon, aki, maki, joker every household of Mori's too!" continues then puts out a cute smile. "You guys really love Kurei so much" she said while wiping her teary eyes. "Well we love you too…anyone Kurei loves we loves as well" Raiha smiles as he opens the door of the mansion. As the enter Neon, Aki and Maki was there to welcome them back.

Iris was glad to see them all welcoming her but then she remembered Raiha's wound on his left palm. "I almost forgot! Raiha come on" she pushes him to her room and let him sit on her bed. She took out a first aid kit from her drawer and sat beside him. "Give me your hand" she said as she faces Raiha who then looks at her back at her deep blues serene eyes. "You don't have too Iris-san!" he refuses at first but Iris declined his appeal. Riaha shyly surrendered to the beautiful girl before her. "Raiha…thanks for saving me awhile ago" she said as she taps cotton ball on Raiha's palm. Raiha could feel the pain everytime Iris taps it on his wound but nothing can compare the pain deep inside him thinking the girl before him can never be his. "You don't have to wear that ninja suit everytime you know!" she jokes around to the serious looking ninja, just to kill the silence. "Huh? Uhm...hehe…I'm your knight! I'm obliged to wear one" he explained to her. "Well…I order you to wear normal clothes everytime you are with me!" she looks at him seriously then smiles. "As it is ma'am" he nods to her happily. "Raiha, one more thing…thanks for caring a lot…my knight…" she said shyly, blushing while she's wrapping Raiha's palm with bandage. "There!" she proudly said while looking at her lap where Raiha's hand lays. Raiha looks at his princess thinking how lucky he was to have her. She was everything he wanted beautiful, smart, loving and caring he would give up everything he has for her…too bad she's not his to begin with.

Author's note: Nani?! Fuuko is really lucky to have 3 guys falling for her! Kurei is really a big catch...but a bit possessive, Tokiya really would fight for her no matter what…but still keeps bullying her around and Raiha is so very loyal to her but giving to the other two…Who do you want her to end up with? Will it be Mister Sweet liar Kurei, Romantic Lonely boy Tokiya or Hopelessly Romantic Knight Raiha? Vote vote vote or she might end up with someone you don't want! Ja ne!
