MAPOV
Well, to sum it all up,
I won a fight.
A professional fight…
Against a seasoned professional…
Akihiko, to no one's surprise, took out Kaida Hanoji out in like, three rounds.
We celebrated over at the Rische Casino-Plaza…
Lee, Junpei, Ken, Manny and Akihiko joined me at a round table, while the girls and Nathan played some casino games.
We were eating cheese fondue and chicken cordon blue…
"That, was the best boxing I've ever seen!" Akihiko praised.
I felt really bashful.
"Nothing really…" I said.
"Damn dude! That was the most nerve wracking moment in my life… second nerve wracking moment…" Junpei said.
"I thought you were done for when he did that feint…" Manny remarked.
"Yeah… me too… but the thought of Yukari gave me the will to stand… a bit cheesy, but I couldn't lose in front of you guys!" I said.
"Haha! So… how's your eye holdin' up?" Lee asked.
I touched my bruised eye.
"Well, I'm good… I can't see much, but all in all, it's good." I shrugged.
"Papa Bear? Haha! It's pretty catchy!" Ken said.
"Cheers!" we all shouted.

I was playing a slot machine with Mitsuru, Fuuka and Chidori when Nathan pulled me away to the lobby.
"What?" I asked furiously.
He looked me fiercely in my eye.
"There's something going on between you and that pretty boy Minato… I know it!" he screamed.
I began to grow afraid.
"What's he to you?" he growled.
He began to hold my arms in a vise.
I told him everything that happened between Minato and me…
"And here's the thing: Minato was hot back then… he still is…I mean, don't get me wrong, you're really cute too, Nathan, but Minato is like, cut from marble…" I said.
His eyes flared.
"GREAT!" he screams as he thrashed around, kicking a trashcan and throws his jacket on the floor in a fit of rage.
"N-Nathan… I swear, there's nothing going on anymore…!" I said.
"Nothing my fragrant Japanese ass! You'd better stay away from him!" he said.
"But….!" I said.
"Do it." he said fiercely.
"I don't want to!" I screamed at him.
He glared at me.
"I'm your boyfriend. Do it." he said fiercely.
I resigned to his gag-order.

I was playing cards with the guys when Yukari walked over me.
She had the look when you've got terrible news…
Like telling me that I'm gonna die…
"Minato… can we talk?" she asked.
"Uh huh, speak." I said as I collected my chips.
I was too engrossed playing.
I won loads of chips.
"It's important." She gave me a stern look.
"Uhhh…I…Uhhhh…" I stammered while I gave the guys a look.
They all nodded as they continued playing cards.
She brought me to the parking lot.
She fidgeted uncomfortably as I decided to break the silence.
"Okay… so what's this all about?" I asked.
She shed a tear.
"Y-Yukari? Is everything okay?" I said as I brushed her tear away.
She stopped me.
"Minato… I told him about us…" she said sadly.
I smiled.
"Th-Then that means we could be together again?" I said excitedly.
She made a sad face…
"I…can't be with you…" she said.
"What? B-but why?" I asked.
"Because… we can't be together… that's all there is to It." she said.
I made a bitter face.
"Okay… if that's how you really feel…" I said.
As I walked, she added.
"I'll be taking Minako back too." She said.
Cut…
I turned back.
"Did I hear you right?" I went up to her.
"You heard me." She might sound arrogant, but her words sound like they were forced.
"Why? Do you really hate me? What did I do to deserve this?" I began to cry.
"Because-" she began.
"Because I died for you? Because I'm a good father? Because I'm not perfect enough?" I asked.
She closed her eyes for a minute.
"It…it's not you… it's me…" she said.
I rolled my eyes.
"Really? That same old line? Tell me this…" I began.
"I love Nathan now… that's it…" she said.
"I get it… your too much of a stuck up little…I'm not even gonna say it, to notice how much of an ass Nathan is!" I said.
"No! don't you dare bring Nathan up! I'm gonna take Minako back!" she said.
I gave her an angry look.
I even opened my left eye for a while…
"I was reborn because loved me… and now… I want to die…" I said before walking off.
I walked past a wall, which Lee, Akihiko, Junpei and Ken were spying on us from,
They cringed as if expecting me to beat them up.
Instead, I said,
"You guys heard that?" I asked.
Lee pushed Junpei,
"Uh… a bit of it…but…" he said sheepishly.
I just nodded and walked all the way home.

I brought Minako to my mom's house, and tucked her in bed.
My mom had not expected me home, but she didn't bug me about it.
I went home and took a shower,
A long, long shower…
Then I went to bed and began to think…
I broke up with him today…
Nathan told me to do it…
I told Minato that I was tired of being with him…
And that I was over him…
He didn't even stop me…
Or even try…
It's hard to tell your mind to stop loving someone when your heart still does…
And just like that, I lost the man I've been waiting for my whole life…
MAPOV
I walked all the way to Iwatodai…
It had been raining…
I just couldn't think…
I sat on a bench, looked at my watch…
It was 1:30 A.M.
She broke up with me…
I couldn't believe it…
I was too hurt to say anything else…
I didn't want her to stay if she didn't want to…
I loved her too much…
And just like that, I lost the girl I've been dreaming of my entire life…
MKPOV (mitsuru!)
I drove around Iwatodai and called Akihiko.
"Akihiko… tell me, where's a good place to find great food? I would like to eat out." I said.
"I don't know Mitsuru… call Minato, that guy's always chomping something up…" he said.
"I'll do that. Please wait…" I hung up and called Minato.
The front desk answered.
"Hello, Messiah's Phoenix, how may I help you?" the front door man asked.
"Hello, I wish to speak with Mr. Arisato, please." I asked.
"Oh, sorry ma'am, he hasn't arrived yet." He said.
I stopped.
The party ended 7:50…
"Thank you." I hung up.
I called Akihiko.
"Akihiko! Minato hasn't come home yet!" I said worriedly.
"What? It's one o clock in the morning!" he said, fully awake now.
"He hasn't… wait!" I shouted.
In the bench a across the street, sat Minato, in the drenching rain.
"Oh my god, what?" he asked.
"He's sitting in a bench, looking at space…" I said.
"Are you kidding me? What the hell is he doing in the middle of a downpour?" he asked.
"I don't know… I thought he was going home…" I said.
"Well… he might've… he went home after Yukari broke up with him…" he said.
"Tell me…" I said.
He gave me a precise and detailed story of what happened.
"That's terrible!" I said.
"Don't talk to me, go to him!" he said as he hung up.
I got out.
"Minato! Minato!" I called.
"Minato, what are you doing? It's pouring rain outside!" I scolded.
He shook his head.
"I don't know what to do anymore…" he said.
"Let's get you out of here…" I said.
I brought him home, gave him hot soup and went home…
