WhiteBeards Siren.

Marco never thought that a girl can step onto the Moby Dick and change his life as much as one small woman did, but he's happy about it and so is Ace. Akiyama Megumi was a small quiet child; the Whitebeard Pirates help her voice be heard.

Megumi groaned, curling closer to the heat that was next to her, she heard gentle voices above her and she blinked a few times, looking up to see purple. "Marco move your big bird butt off my bed." she murmured before snuggling back into the blankets, her eyes shot open wide and she bolted up in bed. "What happened?"

"What, before or after you kissed Ace, yoi?" Marco asked looking at her.

Her face burned bright red and her eyes widened to be on par with a plate. "Marco I swear I didn't enjoy it, I didn't mean to kiss him."

"Oh so you didn't like kissing me, hu?" A familiar voice sounded to her right and she turned her head to see Ace sitting on a chair next to her bed, glancing down, she saw Mauja curled up at her feet.

"No no… wait I errr…." Megumi stumbled over her words as she looked back and forth between the two men.

"Well it's one or another, yoi." Marco leant forward, his lips brushing the shell of her ear.

She jolted to the side, hand over her heart, breathing deeply, glancing between the two, unsure what to say before she felt rough fingertips brush across her cheek, turning her head to face Marco. Her breath caught in her throat as his eyes locked with hers, so many emotion's going through his eyes, she could see concern, happiness… with a tiny bit of...- she gasped and his lips pressed onto hers. Pineapple…. He tastes like pineapple.

His lips were smooth and a bit rough, his heat was gently, unlike Ace's heat which swallowed you up when you came into contact with him. Her hands came up and pushed Marco away, she breathed heavily, eyes still wide and her face was on par with a tomato.

"YOU CAN'T GO ROUND, KISSING WOMAN LIKE THAT!" she cried out in embarrassment.

Marco only smirked and brushed a curl out of her face as he leant in, his breath fanned her throat. "We can, if we get that reaction from you."

"No!" she shouted and slammed her hands onto his chest, pushing him back, "No… No… No… Do you not understand that word no?"

"No." Ace laughed behind her.

Marco's hand cupped her cheek, keeping his eyes locked with hers. "Don't deny it Megumi, you like us don't you, yoi?" He questioned, the smirk still gracing his face.

"Yes… No…!" she groaned and tilted her head to the side. "I can't like you, as a friend I can… but as a lover no…. I just can't."

She felt the bed dip behind her and she leant back slightly as gravity drew her back, she felt Ace's warm chest against her back. His arm snaked slightly around her waist resting his head on her shoulder, grinning widely next to her. "Why, because of the admiral? Last time I checked I believe you were a pirate, Miss Akiyama." His breath was hot against her cool skin.

"Not that… Celestial Dragon as well… I'm a practically a princess… you think they will let me stay...?" she whispered softly, but both of them heard her clearly. "The world government doesn't take it kindly to being disobeyed, especially by the bloodlines that created them."

She felt Marco's finger stroke her jawline, making her head tilt to the side, the heat from both of them was comforting, she felt wrapped in safety, as Marco's hand reached up, brushing pink locks back behind her ears. "They aren't gonna take you away from us, yoi."

"We won't let it happen." Ace's grin was bright in the corner of her eye. "And neither will pops."

"You're gonna get yourself killed over me..." she said, looking at both of them as best as she could.

"I can't die." Ace laughed. "Promised my little brother, I wouldn't die."

She smiled softly at both of them and reached up, placing her hand against Marco's hand which had slid down and cupped her cheek, she couldn't disagree that both men weren't gorgeous, she could think of a lot of woman who would love to be in her shoes. She felt warm lips press against her cheek and turned her head to see Ace grinning at her. "You are both just so… so…"

"Handsome... Smart… Amazingly good looking…"

Megumi had snorted as Ace said smart, trying to hold in her laughter. "I think she disagrees with you being smart, yoi."

They heard the door open and the sound of a plate smashing into the floor, all three of them turned their heads to see Thatch standing in the doorway, eyes wide. "Thatch… it's erm…. Exactly what it looks like." Ace grinned widely at the fourth division commander.

Thatch blinked a few times, not knowing what to do, the scene in front of him, like he´s never came across, Megumi sat in the middle of the bed, Ace was behind her, arm wrapped round her waist and head on her shoulder, whilst Marco sat in front of her one hand on her cheek with her hand on top of his and his other hand rested on the bed next to her keeping him from falling into her. "WHAT IN THE NAME OF ONE PIECE ARE YOU DOING?!" Thatch yelled, piecing everything together in his mind.

"Thatch." Megumi's voice was calm but the blush on her face had returned. "It's ok."

"No… no… no… no… It's not ok!" The trio watched as Thatch paced the room. "You are too innocent for them, they will corrupt your sweet mind."

She snorted again, "Sweet, my behind… Thatch." She slipped from the boys hold, Mauja looked up as he felt the feet he was resting his head on move out from under him and turned his head noticing how close Ace was and growled. "Nothing has happened ok… they are just trying to persuade me at the moment."

Thatch slumped against the wall and smiled slightly as the girl stood in front of him, dressed in pink satin pants and black tank top, his hand reached up and smoothed back her pink locks before wrapping his arm around her shoulder and hugged her softly. "You are so much trouble." he murmured to her.

"So you approve?" She asked smiling brightly.

"Got to get Pops permission first but…. First we need to know what happened on that island." Thatch stated to her and gently led her around the broken plate. "Oi! Flame brain and bird brain get the rest of the division commanders."

"HEY!" Ace shouted. "You can't take her away like that!"

Megumi laughed before jumping slightly, as she felt a cold nose brush her leg, she looked down to see Mauja starring up at her. "Mauja." Megumi smiled and scooped the bear up into her arms, she nuzzled the bear who nuzzled her in return. "I'm so glad you're here."

"Wouldn't leave you this entire time." Thatch chuckled and moved her towards the room she knew that held the commanders meetings.

Thatch pushed the door open with one hand, the other one was pressed in the middle of her back, eighteen chairs surrounded a long table, at the back of the room, Whitebeards chair stood tall above the rest of them. Eight chairs down either side of the table and the final chair was placed at the opposite end of the table.

"Ah." Whitebeard looked up from the document he was reading. "Megumi, my dear, you are awake."

"How long was I asleep?" she questioned, looking around the room noticing that Atmos and Rakuyo were already at the table.

"Three days." Thatch replied, pulling out the seat at the end of the table, for her to sit down.

"Three days!" Her eyes widened.

"The cold got to you quickly, you just needed to rest up my dear, don't worry you didn't miss anything." Whitebeard chuckled.

Megumi smiled softly before scratching Mauja behind the ears, the bear growled softly in agreement to being scratched. She glanced around, seeing Izo, Marco, Ace, Haruta and Vista were the only ones not in their seats. "Are you feeling ok my dear, you seem a bit hot in the face?" Whitebeard asked.

"Fine, Pops." She smiled brightly across the table at him, "Just would have preferred it if Thatch would´ve let me get dressed instead of me sitting here in my pyjamas."

The men in the room chuckled at her response watching, as she glared slightly at the fourth division commander. "Hey, Pops said finding out what happened in that mountain was important and Ace and Bird brain have no idea why that thing made of ice was so determined to kill, you other than your blood line."

"Wait until the others are here." Whitebeard stated, smiling at the girl who was now pulling at the ends of her hair, twisting it around her fingers. "Don't think the girl can go through, telling it twice."

Megumi smiled softly at Whitebeard nodding her head, Izo and Haruta came in, both of them had their heads dipped, whispering in soft voices to one another. Izo sat down on the seat to Megumi's left smiling at her, taking one of her hands and squeezing it softly as Haruta took the seat on the other side of Jiru. "You alright?" Izo asked, smiling softly at her.

"Fine." she replied. "Feeling a lot better, rather than being half frozen."

"Good." Izo smiled. "Though…" He leant in closer, to whisper in her ear, "Ace and Marco haven't left your side much since you've been sleeping…. Got any ideas, those two seem to be glued to your side."

Megumi felt the blush blooming across her cheeks, before shaking her head. "Maybe to keep me warm they are both fire based and I was nearly turned into ice."

Izo eyebrow cocked up slightly, seeing the blush across her cheek. "Whatever you say Megumi."

She glared softly at Izo, pouting slightly in annoyance, but her tongue ran across her lip, softly a faint taste of pineapple lingered on her lips, as she heard the door open. "Ah." Whitebeard. "The last three, now hurry boys we don't have all day."

"Sorry Pops." Ace grinned, taking the seat to Whitebeards left whilst Marco took the seat on his right and Vista took his seat next to Joz.

Whitebeard turned to look down the table, all his sons were seated, all eyes were on him, waiting for him to start. "Megumi, my dear would you like to recount what you remember from the other day?"

Her teeth sunk down into her bottom lip as she glanced around, before nodding. "I walked straight off the walk way and landed into a large pile of snow down, a woman of ice stood across the clearing, at what I assumed was the bottom of the mountain. The moment her hand brushed against the side of my cheek, ice started to form against my body trying… in simple terms... to freeze me."

"But how….? Its admiral Aokiji who ate the ice ice fruit?" Vista questioned.

"It was never truly the diamond that turned people into ice it was her, the diamond made her ice itself." Megumi stated, glancing round at the confused looks. "The gem had some sort of mystical ability to change the person completely, the woman wasn't human, she was pure ice, so unlike logia devil fruit eaters who still hold their human form even after eating the devil fruit, she didn't seem to at all."

"Marco said that the woman seemed to be out to kill you, do you know why my dear?" Whitebeard asked.

She froze, not sure how to word the jumbled mess in her head. "I… err… yes I know."

She felt Izo's hand squeeze hers. "Take your time."

Her eyes glanced round, seeing concern written across all their faces. "It was my ancestors fault that she was turned into ice."

"HOW!?" Came shouts from most of the division commanders.

"One of the ancient weapons." she whispered, head tilted down, her hold on Mauja, but her voice rang clearly throughout the entire of the division commanders and the captain.

"Pardon my dear?" Whitebeard actually was stunned, hearing the words leave her mouth.

"The woman… she said that Sparkling Enclave Islands is a cover name… it was originally called Uranus, from what I've gathered from her and what I know of my own home…. The gem is a small part of power of what my family possesses…. apparently…. She made it seem, like there were more of them… but I don't understand why they didn't kill my family, if we hold the power of an ancient weapon."

Fossa glanced between the Captain and the young woman at the end of the table. "Pops, you can't let them have her… for that sort of power, the world government can't have it, they wiped out a hundred years of history to keep anyone from knowing what had happened, if Megumi is an heir to said weapon…. she's a powerful assist to them."

"What do you think the weapon was my dear?" Whitebeard asked.

"Pops…. I think it's what the island holds, not the island itself, my home there's a mountain, that I have never seen anyone enter, like there's a secret entrance somewhere, I was never able to find it… could be possible that it's in that mountain." she answered.

"How is her bloodline still alive?" Vista questioned. "No offence my dear, but if it's her bloodline that has practically control, wouldn't they wanted to eliminate them, like everyone else who would know."

"The information of the void century has been wiped from history, expect for the poneglyphs no one should know that the Sparkling Enclave Islands were originally called Uranus, that will be the only reason why she is alive." Whitebeard took a sip from the large mug of beer that had been sitting on the table, he chuckled as he heard his sons and daughter tsk, over not caring for his health.

"But Pops! She said something about passing an heir of an ancient weapon, onto someone who believes in justice!" Megumi cried out.

"You are a free spirit my dear." Whitebeard chuckled. "Your parents most likely wanted to keep you on the right path…. The woman of ice as you've put her, was most likely trying to distract you mentally, so you wouldn't pay attention to what she was actually trying to do."

"Pops, we can't let them take her, not for her to be hurt again cause of her bloodline it's not right." Whitebeard heard Ace speak, he looked down at the youngest of the division commanders who's orange hat covered his eyes.

Whitebeards laugh snapped all the heads in the room towards him. "Such a depressing topic, as long as Kaido didn't get his hand on the diamond, we should be celebrating, especially now we know it was related to the Ancient weapon Uranus."

Megumi smiled softly. "Thanks Pops."

"No marine hurts my children, Megumi you should know that we won't be letting the marines take you at any point, whilst you stay with this crew." Whitebeard grinned at her.

"Pops, I'll like to bring up something." Thatch stated.

Megumi, Ace and Marco froze and locked eyes with Thatch as in a warning of don't you dare, which everyone in the room caught, with the glares that the three were giving. "Go on Thatch, my boy?" Whitebeard ignored the glaring trio.

"I believe, Ace and Marco want to have a relationship with our little Megumi." Thatch grinned down the table at her.

"I'm not little, you are all just freakishly tall!" she snapped.

Whitebeard chuckled again. "I don't think the boys have ill will towards our girl here." Whitebeard shrugged and took another sip of the beer. "So I don't see the problem."

"Don't see a problem…. They will corrupt her innocent mind," Thatch groaned.

"She's a pirate, Thatch my boy." Whitebeard laughed. "I believe they are a good influence on her."

Fossa chuckled. "Plus, Ace has already kissed the girl."

"WHAT!" Thatch yelled, turning to glare at the second division commander, who was staring wide eyed at Fossa.

"Y-you s-saw t-that?" Ace stumbled over his words stunned at 15th division commander.

"Well you did kiss her on the table you two were dancing on." the man chuckled through his cigar, Megumi shrunk in the seat she was sitting on, cheeks flaming red. "Ah look the little miss is getting embarrassed."

"Shut up." she murmured. "I can't believe you saw that."

Whitebeard chuckled as he saw her face become the state of a tomato. "Well, seems like the two are familiar already, but it's ultimately up to you, my dear." Whitebeard stated.

"Can I point out, I've been asleep for three days, been on this ship for around a month and you all are planning my dating life." Her eyes glanced across the commanders faces, before she sighed. "I need time… after everything back there…. I just want some time to think… is that ok?"

The commanders nodded their heads in agreement. "Of course it is Megumi." Izo smiled softly at her, taking her hand and squeezing it in a comforting manner. "You need time to get your thoughts together, it's what you need, right?"

She smiled and nodded, her eyes locking with Ace's and Marco's, both men grinned at her. "Erm… can I go… I kind of don't want to be in my pajamas all day."

"Of course my dear, go." Whitebeard waved her out. "Oh and of course you can keep the bear."

Megumi bounced up in her chair, Mauja still in her arms. "Thank you pops." She smiled and left the room, the moment the door closed the rest of the division commanders turned on Ace and Marco.

"YOU KISSED HER!" Izo shouted. "And she didn't tell me!"

"I'd like to point out, she only has just remembered kissing him, yoi." Marco stated.

"And you Marco? You ok with this?" Whitebeard questioned, ignoring the squabbling Ace and Izo, who were having a shouting match across the table.

"I find her interesting and Ace seems to like her, yoi." Marco replied.

"But what are your thoughts on the lady?" Vista asked.

"I find her pleasing on the eye, sweet, kind and generally if I was completely straight would be going after her, yoi." Marco smirked slightly.

"I DIDN'T MEAN TO KISS HER!" Ace yelled.

"Oh so you just happened to slip and crash lips onto her's…. hmm?" Izo snapped back at the man.

Joz chuckled slightly and slammed his hand down onto Marco's back. "The girly seems to like you both, and she rarely blushes around the rest of us."

"Yeah well that might be cause you are a giant compared to her Joz." Vista chuckled.

Fossa chuckled. "The girl seems quite smitten with our first and second division commanders, wouldn't you say so Atmos?"

Atmos chuckled, nodding his head. "Never seen a girl blush as much as she does."

"HEY! I think her blush is cute!" Ace yelled at Atmos.

"Of course you would." Namur stated. "If it's anything to do with you, you think it's sexy or cute."

Thatch shivered slightly. "Pops you can't be serious of letting them two court her."

"Oh court is it Thatch?" Haruta laughed. "Megumi is too innocent to be dated by these two?"

"A lady of her class should be courted, by bird and flame brain, not suddenly squashed between them like a sandwich." Thatch stated, shooting a warning look.

"Oh really?" Fossa chuckled, "Like to explain?"

"No." Ace stated.

"Oh come on flame boy, tell us." Kingdew smirked across the table.

"….Marco kissed her, whilst sitting on the bed next to her… and I kind of sat behind her and hugged her…" Ace murmured.

"Oh… things getting steamy in the medi-bay?" Haruta smiled over at the two.

"It was a simple kiss, yoi." Marco stated.

"Well between Marco and Ace." Izo smirked. "Must be very hot for the girl."

"Wouldn't mind being in her position." Haruta chuckled.

"A lot of people wouldn't mind being in her position." Vista chuckled.

"HEY! SHE'S NOT GOING TO BE IN THAT POISTION!" Thatch yelled.

"I think she has that choice herself." Ace glared.

"Boys!" Whitebeard yelled, catching all the division commanders attention. "We will let Megumi decide what she wants, let the girl have her time."

"Yes Pops." they smiled back at him.

Megumi hummed softly to herself, as she opened the fridge in the empty kitchen, digging around in the kitchen, Mauja at her heels, she wore dark jeans and an off-the-shoulder purple shirt. She took out a slice of ham and dropped it on the floor for Mauja, as she took out a packet of strawberries.

"What are you doing, yoi?" Marco asked.

Megumi jumped and slammed her head on the shelf above. "OW! Did you have to do that!?" she yelled, pulling her head out the fridge, rubbing the back of the head. "I was hungry."

"Cream, Sugar and Strawberries, yoi?" He asked, looking at the bowl's on the table.

"Of course." she smiled brightly, taking a seat at the table, bringing Mauja up onto the seat next to her. "Have you never had it?"

"Not much of a sweet tooth, yoi." Marco replied, as he watched her dip a strawberry into sugar then cream.

"You gonna sit?" She asked, as she took a bite of the strawberry, smiling to herself as sweetness burst in her mouth. Marco nodded his head and drew out a seat across her, sat down and watched as the juices from the strawberry trailed down her fingers, she dipped the other half of the strawberry back in the sugar and cream. "Want to try?" She held the strawberry out to him.

"Why not, yoi." Marco grinned at her, making her cheeks flush a soft pink as he leant across the table and wrapped his lips around one of her fingers sucking the juices clean off her finger.

"M-marco…." Her blush brightened.

Her finger left his mouth with a pop and he smirked slightly at her. "As I told you, I wasn't much of a sugary person."

"Doesn't mean you have to suck my finger." she mumbled before eating the rest of the strawberry.

Marco chuckled, watching her blush. "Very tasty, yoi."

She smiled softly at him. "How was the rest of the meeting?"

"Well Izo is still shouting at Ace for kissing you, the rest of the meeting was reports from the areas we own and some of the other yonko's getting to close for Captain's liking, until you are fully capable of handling yourself, Pops doesn't want to come across any of the other yonko's crews, yoi." Marco replied.

"I can handle myself." she snapped.

"Oh really, yoi?" He leant closer to her, as she slammed her hands on the table and his nose brushed hers gently. "You've twisted your ankle being chased by marines, walked straight off a walkway, nearly got frozen and fainted from exhaustion."

She huffed, crossing her arms under her chest. "Well sorry that I'm a lady and not a barbarian."

"Barbarian, yoi?" He walked round the table towards her.

"Have you seen how you guys eat, it's like watching hyena's eating the scarps after the lion has eaten… oomph!" She was winded as she was slammed into Marco's chest, his arm tightly around her waist, pulling her to him.

"Eat like it's your last day on earth, yoi." he replied smiling down at her.

Her hands were planted on his muscular pecs, her face turned bright red, trying to push him away. "That's a tiny bit morbid thinking."

Marco chuckled, resting his temple against hers. "Live life to the fullest, Megumi, yoi."

She smiled and nodded. "At least I have got a chance to live life to the fullest."

Marco hummed in agreement, eyes locked onto her silver ones, his hand reached up and brushed a stray lock of hair out of her eyes, her breathing became shallow and her chest pressed further into his. "You are not going back to them, yoi." he whispered to her, lips barely apart.

"Marco…" she murmured, softly brushing her hands up under the material of his shirt, her eyes glanced down to the mark tattooed on his chest. "Symbol of freedom…"

He chuckled softly. "You could say that, yoi."

"No…" She shook her head and smiled brightly at him, "It is, your family symbol, the Whitebeard pirates are freedom themselves… well that's what I think."

Marco smiled softly at her cupping her chin in one hand and tilting her head up. "Freedom is how you perceive it Megumi, yoi."

She sighed before her lips turned upwards into a bright smile. "You guys are my freedom."

His lips pushed softly against hers, he watched her as her eyes widened for a second, before her eyelids fluttered and closed. Her long eyelashes rested against dusty pink cheeks, her nails dug softly into his shoulders as she tried to keep herself standing, as she felt her knees buckle. His lips were smooth and soft compared to Ace's rough and chapped lips, from what she could remember from the brief kisses, once whilst drunk and the other just before she passed out.

His hand left her chin and brushed up the side of her face threading into pink locks, forcing her head back slightly, making her gasp and his tongue slipped into her mouth. She tasted pineapple with a soft hint of cinnamon as his tongue coaxed hers into playing, she felt the hand on her back slip down and rested just above the waist band of her jeans.

After a few moments Megumi pushed back against his shoulders, making him shunt back slightly and his lips disconnected from hers. Her chest heaved as she gulped down her breaths, she blinked a few times stunned at the close proximity between the two, chest and hips were practically glued together.

SMACK!

"WILL YOU BOTH STOP KISSING ME SUDDENLY!" Her yell most likely had rang across the entire of the Moby dick.

Marco chuckled and removed his hand from her hair rubbing an aching cheek, blue flames erupted across his cheek, healing the forming bruise. "Well, at least I know you can take care of yourself from oncoming men, yoi."

"Oncoming men." She shoved him back, Marco stumbled a few steps still chuckling his hand removed itself from her lower back. "The only men I have to worry about, are you and Ace, both of you have kissed me twice now… What, is it a competition to see who can kiss the Celestial dragon the most!?"

"No…" He smirked leaning in. "Your just too damn irresistible, yoi."

She let a small scream of frustration and grabbed the bowl of strawberries. "Mauja!" she called the bear, as she stormed out the kitchen, head held high. Marco cocked his head to the side as he watched her hips swing, as she walked out the kitchen, before seeing the small white bear run after the woman, nearly tripping over the its own paws.

'Well this is going to be fun,' He chuckled to himself, as he set to work, making himself a cup of coffee.

"Just grr…" Megumi paced Izo's room. "I mean, who do they think they are, just suddenly coming out of no were and kissing me like that… I mean they are together, shouldn't they be shoving their tongues down each other's throats?!"

Haruta and Izo watched as the pink haired woman paced the length of the okamas room, turning perfectly on the high heels. "But the question being Megumi, do you like it?" Haruta asked, scratching Mauja behind the ears.

"Oh I don't know." She tugged at pink locks.

"How can't you know, many woman would want to be in your position Miss Akiyama." Haruta smirked slyly at the woman. "'Phoenix' Marco and 'Fire fist' Ace, first and second division commander of the Whitebeard pirates both wanting a woman to join them in a romantic relationship."

Megumi plopped herself down on the bed next to Izo and leant back against his side. "I don't even know if they want it to be romantic… the only type of relationship I had is being engaged to Akainu and that was nothing, he was cold hearted and rarely paid attention to me…. I rarely saw him at all."

"Why do you think those two don't want it to be romantic?" Izo asked, pushing the girl to sit up and grabbed a hair brush and started brushing the pink locks.

"They both seem like the, Yay… Adventure type romance, expect from with each other," she answered, resting her elbows on her knees and her chin in the palm of her hands, watching Haruta as he rolled over Mauja and started to scratch his belly.

She felt her hair being twisted into some style as Haruta answered her. "Actually they seem a lot different with you, than any other they have been around."

"What do you mean?" she asked, tilting her head back as Izo wrapped a plate over the top of her head.

"Have to agree with Haruta, they do seem different around you." Izo twisted her hair around the brush.

"Ok… you have to remember most men I've been around, are servants who can't look me in the eyes cause it's wrong to look your master in the eyes and marine soldiers who were terrified of the man I was engaged to." she stated.

"They both seem very smitten with you Megumi." Haruta smiled at her.

"They are both, just amazing people….. how can they like someone like me?" she murmured the last part.

Izo smack her shoulder softly as he continued to curl her hair. "Why would they not, Megumi you washed up against the side of the Moby Dick about a month ago and everyone on this crew is smitten with you, you just don't see it."

"Izo is right, the entire of the second division adores you, Thatch has been treating you like his own sister, we both think you are the cutest thing on this ship well expect this little one," Haruta smiled down at Mauja who was on his back kicking his legs as the man scratched his belly.

"I'm not cute." She pouted.

"Both Marco and Ace have been glued to you the entire time you've been in this crew." Izo turned her head to place a pin into her hair, keeping the plate over her head as a type of head band. "They both like you, silly, you just don't see it."

"Kissing a girl doesn't mean you like them." she huffed.

"But for Marco it does, Marco's not a person to go round randomly kissing people." Izo answered.

"Expect that one time were he kissed Thatch for a dare." Haruta smiled.

"Really?" Megumi questioned.

Both men nodded and smiled at her. "A few weeks before you came to us actually." Izo stated.

Her cheeks burnt a soft pink thinking of the two, Haruta grinned and leant closer to her. "Is that a blush I see Miss Akiyama?"

"S-shut u-up." she stuttered.

Haruta smiled brightly at her. "So, that's why you are attracted to Ace and Marco… so much PDA with those two it's unbelievable, no wonder that a sweet, little, innocent girl like you fell for those two."

"Izo." she whined, hiding her bright face behind her hands. "Make him stop!"

The Okama patted her on the head, careful not to mess up his work on her hair. "Haruta stop teasing the poor girl, she might faint at the thought of those two."

Megumi shrunk down on the bed blushing brightly. "You two are mean."

"But those two won't be mean to you." She peaked through her fingers, to see Haruta leaning back on his elbows smiling at her. "They will be devoted and loving…"

"How do you know this?" she questioned, taking her hands away from her face.

"They are devoted to each other and you are slowly being pulled into it as well, seems like fait brought you to them." he replied to her.

She smiled softly. "You think I should give them a chance."

Both of them nodded. "Give them a chance and see…. You never know Megumi… they might be a good influence on you."

"Fine." she giggled softly. "I'll give them a chance."
