Chapter 8

"You- WHAT?!" the older Suzuka raised her voice louder after Chizuru told them everything about Hakuou Academy and how that school has always been for boys all the time. Still couldn't believe it, Sen gapped like a fish. "So all this time you've been studying in an all-boys high school? Y-you're kidding right..?!"

Chizuru shook her head.

"No, I couldn't able to tell you everything since a lot of things happened in school, that's all. But what's good news is Kondou-sensei letting me stay there even if I'm the only girl in Hakuou Academy." The brunette said, smiled warmthly to her childhood friends. Kosuzu has been listening to everything, though the young Suzuka doesn't seem to mind if Chizuru studies in a school that filled with student boys. But as for the older one…

"Hold on a minute Yukimura Chizuru!," Sen said, her voice was still as loud as before, pointing the brunette with her chopstick, and continued, "They were threatening you to stay in Hakuou Academy, right?!"

"Eh?" Chizuru blinked multiply, confused of what the older Suzuka said just now.

"They did it, didn't they? Who is it? Who is that person who wouldn't let you study to our school? If they did threatening you, tell me who's that person and I won't hesitate calling my butlers and maids to kill him!"

She couldn't help but to sweat dropping because how over-protective Sen is and wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone even if it's looks like a crime. Once again, Chizuru smiled kindly once more, shook her head slightly, taking it as a No.

"Nope. Not really, Osen-chan." Chizuru answered. "Most of them are really kind and friendly. In fact, the people that knew of my identity back then were just only a few from my classmates and Kaichou-sama."

As she stopped speaking, she remembered her classmates from before came to her and apologized to her for doing such a horrible thing to her after the Principal and Kazama announced that she'll be able to study in Hakuou Academy from now on. And of course, Chizuru rather called 'President' than Kazama since she doubted that her childhood friends knew Kazama..

For some time later then, Sen couldn't helped but to sigh, giving up of convincing Chizuru studying in Shimabara Girls' High School despite she had always wanted to study together with the brunette again. She seemed to be quite attached with Hakuou Academy and the boys lately now..

I wonder if there's a guy Chizuru-chan fell for..

Sighing out once more, waved her hands off as she took a sip of a carton of milk. "Fine, fine.. after all, you and your father were so much alike.. always been such a stubborn one.."

Chizuru and Kosuzu ended up giggled quietly, as they continued eating lunch together again.

"By the way, Chizuru-chan," Kosuzu began then.

"Yes?"

"Do you by any chance know a guy named Ibuki Ryuunosuke? I've heard he's from Hakuou Academy too."

"Ryuunosuke?" Chizuru called out a very familiar name, remembered that he's one of her classmate who she's been good friend with, and of course, the most pathetic boy in her classroom. "Yes, I knew him. He is my classmate. Why?"

Kosuzu's cheeks burnt in red already, fidgeting her body as if she wants to go to toilet already. "Well, that is…"

Before she could finish it, Sen cut her words off, intending to gossip about her adoptive sister on purpose: "That Ibuki guy is Kosuzu's crush~"

"E-Ehhh?!" Chizuru exclaimed in surprised, disbelief of what she heard from the older Suzuka.

Kosuzu's became even redder than before.

"You-you've got it all wrong, Osen-neechan!"

"Oh yeah? If I'm not wrong, you're suddenly blushing just because he helps you doing some shopping together while the three of us were separating each other to buy swimming suit for Chizuru-chan before summer holiday coming.. I don't remember you'll act like that in front of boys before…" Sen said, used a teasing tone.

"W-Well, what about you, Osen-neechan?" Kosuzu said, changing the subject, as her cheeks has gotten even redder once more the longer she talked about the blunette boy. "What would happen if I talk about the guy you like your face would've been much more red than tomatoes one."

"Me?" Sen snorted. "No need to be worry about it. There's no guy I would ever fall in love even the handsome one."

"I understand you'd still couldn't forgive how those boys done to you back then. But…," Kosuzu trailed off for a moment. "I'm sure there's some guy who may be able to understand about you and that special person would probably the only man that you could ever fell for.."

Sen shook her head and crossed her arms, still taking it as a No.

"Nope. Not gonna happen. And I won't like anyone else including your Ibuki too."

"O-Osen-neechan!"

The older Suzuka laughing once more, joined by the brunette as well, though what Kosuzu said just now was right; Sen should find the right person to fall in love even if she hated men very much. Silently, Chizuru prayed to herself for Kami that to find a very suitable man for Sen even if it's not handsome like Sen would expect for.

"Well then, it'll be best to go already," Sen said, as they finally ate lunch. "There's a lot of thing I would like to do later. Is there anything you want to do, Chizuru-chan?"

Chizuru shook her head slightly. "Not really. I'm planning to return home and study once more."

"Alright then. Do be careful. Oh, and remember, if one of them are picking on you, don't hesitate seeing me, alright?"

The brunette nodded, sweats dropping once more, waved at them as they were no longer there then. Walking toward to her home, Chizuru could've sworn her cellphone was vibrating in her pocket jeans, took it out, realized that the message was belonging from her father whom still working from the overseas. Each time she's got a letter from Kodou always make her feels happy and relief that her father was fine.

I'm sorry for letting you ended up getting into Hakuou Academy. Matsumoto should've told me about that school too.. but I promise you Chizuru that I will find a way a good time to see you again.

Once again, Chizuru replied back to her father that things are going to be fine in the future then. Since everyone had known that she had been a girl for a whole time, her school life would be normal like she had in elementary school. Unless.. when she encounters with the President. Well, of course, she didn't wanted to talk much about Kazama since he's also one of a rich family that known of the tea ceremony, she rather not talking about it since the Yukimura family were no longer a member of tea ceremony anymore since her parent had died after the car accident.

After finishing sent a letter for her father, as Chizuru was about to walk, a familiar voiced spoke to her.

"Oh? Chizuru-chan, it is surprise to see you here."

As she turned around, the brunette met Okita with a grey jacket since it's gotten cold lately…

"Okita-senpai. What are you doing here?"

"Nothing, really. Just visiting my old dojo a moment ago and then, I found a cutie little girl lost in the park~" he said in a sing-along tone. As she heard of 'cutie', Chizuru couldn't help but to blush. "W-well, I…"

Okita chuckled slightly as he saw the brunette's face became red just because he called her cute. "Anyway, Chizuru-chan, is there anything you want to do right now?"

"N-not really.. I'm about to return home already since there's nothing I can do now."

"Perfect." The emerald-orbs man said, his grin became widen then. "Would you like to come with me?"

"Come with you?" Chizuru blinked in confusion. "Where?"

"Well, anywhere. Since both of us have some free time together now. Why don't we go out somewhere you like?"

Chizuru felt the needed to giggle somehow. "Don't you think Kaoru would be mad if both of us going out together? Like a couple, of course."

"Don't you think we have always been a couple before?" Okita said, smirked once more.

"Eh?"

"Nothing. So then, should we go?"

"O-Oh… okay." At that, Okita held out Chizuru's hand as they were arriving to the shopping complex, in which where the emerald-orbs man had always wanted to take to the brunette.

Most of it, Okita ended up buying her some ice-cream and took a picture together with the brunette to blackmail to the students of Hakuou Academy once more, especially anger Kaoru again.

As they were about to leave the shopping complex already when the sunset had reach to the horizon already, Chizuru stopped at the gift shop as she saw a very big fluffy pink bunny plushie, which, she finds it really cute. But of course, she couldn't afford it since all the money that she's been spare of was only for the sake of the Hakuou Academy fund, as well as her house bill.

She sighed softly, feeling disappointed for not able to afford that cute big bunny… the only she had to do is she has to work very hard in her part-time job to get that plushie…

Okita then noticed how Chizuru wanted the doll in the gift shop very much. Seeing how disappointing she looked like, it's just made him sadden even more.

"Wait here."

"Eh?"

Chizuru looked at Okita in confused as he entered the gift shop.

As she waited for the emerald-orbs man, she couldn't helped but even much more disappointed as the shopkeeper had took the pink bunny plushie that she's been wanting very much, feeling down that it's too late for her to obtain that doll. The longer she thought about that cute plushie, the more she feeling disappointed for not buy it earlier. At this rate, Okita might felt bad for her seeing her looked down a lot. She wondered what business he had for going into the gift shop anyway…?

"Here, Chizuru-chan~"

As she heard a very gentle voiced, Chizuru looked on her right side, eyes widen opened as she realized that the thing that in front of her was a plushie that she's been wanting very much. She realized until now that the person who bought the fluffy bunny all this time was none other than Okita.

"O-Okita-senpai… this is.."

He grinned once more. "Yup. It's for you~ Since you look like you want that plushie that much, I'll be gladly to buy this for you."

"B-but.. are you sure? It's expensive.. you shouldn't have buy this for me…"

"Uwah.. Chizuru-chan, you're hurting my feelings now." He said, with a very disappointing tone, in which, it surprised her a little.

"Eh…?"

"You can have this little guy if you want. After all, I did bring you here, remember?"

"Well.. that is…"

"Don't worry.. don't worry. I'm doing this because I wanted to. Don't be shy, take it," as he said that, he pushed the plushie to her, forcing Chizuru to hold the fluffy bunny, in the end, she given up fighting him, and holding the plushie that he bought for her.

She couldn't helped but to feel a little guilty for letting him buy the plushie for her, but at the same time, she'd also felt glad that he bought it because he wanted to. And so, as they were walking on her way home, Chizuru cuddling the plushie and embracing it very tightly, try it best to cherish it for the sake of the emerald-orbs man.

Once it took a while then they've arrived to her house, Chizuru bowed politely to Okita, being very thankful for everything he'd done for her.

"Thank you very much, Okita-senpai. I will take care of him as much as I can," she said, cuddling the pink bunny once again, couldn't stand the plushie because how cute that little guy is. She couldn't figure out which gender is the best for that pink fluffy bunny, so she thought male would be the best one despite the color of fur would be much more suitable for female…

As she turned around to enter her house, Chizuru expected that Okita had already left.

But she was wrong.

She jolted slightly as she could felt a short and cold peck of kissed on her soft cheek, realized the lips were belongs to Okita. Pulling her close to him, Chizuru could felt his broad-chested from her back, as if he was intending to whisper her just between both of them only. He spoke such a very kind and gentle tone and it wasn't unlike the teasing one like she used to hear from the emerald-orbs man.

"It's been fun hanging around with you.. Chizuru."

Her eyes widen opened not just he kissed her on her cheek without realizing it, she also surprised because it's the first time Okita had ever calls her name without adding '-chan'. Is this the Okita that she knows? Is this the Okita who likes to tease her a lot especially giving a threat of how he intending to kill her if she betrays him? Has Okita always been… affectionate man..?

Okita noticed Chizuru was in a deep thought, letting his hand go off from her, winked her, couldn't wait to see her when school's coming again. Though the brunette still stood there, looked confused of what that man did to her just now.

He kissed her..

As the class was starting as usual, when Chizuru's homeroom teacher coming to her classroom… in late again seeing how exhausted he was, but acting as if nothing's happened for a moment then, the classmates began to whisper how odd Harada can be…

"Alright class." The red-headed teacher began. "You're already knew what is a day would be in the next weekend, right?"

They nodded and said 'Yes' in unison.

"That's right. The next week there's going to have a culture festival. Alright then, is there anyone who would volunteer of what theme our class would be?"

For a long silent moment then, Ibuki dared raising up his hand.

"Alright then, Ryuunosuke. What theme do you have in mind?"

"How about we'll make a café for class B-49?"

"A.. café?" Chizuru repeated from the blunette, blinking slightly why he intended to make a café theme.

"Yup." Ibuki said. "Since we have Chizuru, wouldn't it better to make a café, serving some students a food and tea? No, not just that, Chizuru will also becomes a maid cat, who will welcoming back the owners after all they've done some hard work!" He spoke with so much determination, in which, it is very unlike Ibuki to see like this.

"E-Ehhhh?!" Chizuru flushed in red of her classmate's suggested of the theme for the culture festival. She wouldn't mind if she became just a waitress only. But being a cat maid? Isn't it too much?!

"That sounds good!"

"Such a great idea, Ibuki!"

"Maid Cat Café would be the best one!"

Her cheeks burnt into red once more as a lot of her classmates agreed of the blunette's suggestion about making a Cat Maid Café them for class B-49.

"You.. you guys…!" Chizuru whined, almost felt herself to cry already.

"Well then, it's been decided then." Harada said. "The theme for our class will officially be a Cat Maid Café theme."

"Ha-Harada-sensei, not you too!"

Chizuru pleaded once more, knowing that it's no use to stop them from making the theme a café anymore.. with that, the brunette ended up sighing heavily, couldn't believed this is how it ended up in cultural festival later then…

As recess coming, Chizuru turned around as she heard her homeroom teacher called her.

"Yukimura-kun, I came here to apologize for a moment just now."

"Apologize just now…? About what?"

"It's about the theme of Maid Cat Café for our class, of course."

"O-Oh, that…"

"Are you sure you're okay about this?" Harada said, feeling a little concerned, and guilty for not coming on the brunette's side. "I mean, about the theme for our class?"

"As much as I don't like the idea.. I don't really mind at all, to be honest."

"Really?"

"Yes…," she nodded. "In fact, it's rarely see Ryuunosuke-kun looks fired up. It'll be best to make him satisfies even if it's a bad idea.."

"Well, now that you mention it, he does look excited about the cultural festival," the red-headed teacher then began to chuckle slightly. "By the way, I've heard that you're participating in Music Festival too, right?"

"Yup. It's officially that I need to participate it since I'm a member of Music Club."

"What kind of music theme would you and the others play then?"

"That would be classic. According from Saitou-senpai, he seemed to fond of classic music very much, including the Principal too." Chizuru answered.

"Seems that you'll be busy in cultural festival then. I'll be rooting for you. Well, I'll see you later then, Yukimura-kun."

At that, Harada waved off his hand, as he left the hallway to return back to his office.

Chizuru returned on waving back, as she was on her way to reach to the rooftop, intending to get some fresh air, after all everyone decided to make a theme of Maid Cat Café in class B-49 from now on, and most boys cheered up for her. But somehow, she found it really creepy the way how they looked at her, drooling for her over… something that she didn't feel like it…

As she almost at the rooftop, she heard someone was talking to another person. The next thing she knew, Chizuru realized the person that's been talking on the rooftop was none other than the President.

She somehow couldn't help but be stunned a little. It's rarely to see Kazama stayed at the rooftop before. Usually, he's always stays in the Student Council most of his school life time, and this is the first she could ever see Kazama stayed anywhere else beside his office.

Chizuru noticed Kazama looked frustrated, sighed heavily as he talked someone on his cellphone.

"I know, I know.. You don't have to remind me again." He said, tried his best not to show his frustration, yet he failed in the end. "Yes, Sunday, at night. I'll bring her favourite food."

As he finally hung the phone, Kazama leaned against the wall, sighed out heavily once more.

The brunette couldn't help but feeling a little concerned of the President lately. She wondered who's that person that called him anyway? She had never seen Kazama looked stressed out before… unless, he's being lectured by Amagiri, of course.

The moment as she stepped into the rooftop, his crimson-red eyes widen, surprised to see Chizuru at the place like this.

"Chizuru..?" Kazama called her name, still shocked, and feel the need to gap like a fish.

"Hi Kazama-senpai." She bowed in politely, walking next to the President, and leaned against the wall as well.

His surprised expression that changed into a very wide smirk like he always use for the brunette.

"Well look at that, it's surprised to see my lovely wife at a place like this. I guess you could say this must be our fate of meaning to see each other after all."

"I-I just thought I need some fresh air after all the drama I had in the classroom just now, that's all," she blurted her words out for the President, not wanting to have a misunderstanding to see the blonde-haired man or something like that..

Kazama replied by smirking once more, but soon, his face turned into grim. Chizuru noticed how he looked down lately. As much as she curious what's going on the phone that he'd just called, without a doubt that Kazama might've approved her that she was definitely suitable to be his wife since it's officially that a wife needs to concern for a husband very much. Even though it's normal that she worried for everyone.

"Is something bothering you? You look down just now.." she whispered softly.

"Are you worried about me that much?" He said, with a teasing tone,

"Of-Of course not! It's just that, well.. you seem looked down and all… and, it's rarely to see you in frustrated, that's all." She mumbled at the end of it, and could've sworn that she heard Kazama chuckled quietly. The brunette ended up pouting then.

"It's nothing that you need to concern for."

"Oh…" as she said that, looking down on the floor, expecting the President would say that in the end, since after all, she knew nothing of him and his family. She doubted that this man next to her would tell her everything of Kazama family.

The next thing she knew, Kazama pulled her waist closer to his, her eyes widen in saucer and she could've sworn she began to paralyze once more as her almond-brown orbs laid on the crimson's one.

"Wh-what are you doing..?!" She exclaimed in surprised.

"What am I doing?" He smirked widely. "Since there's still some time before class starting, shouldn't we spend our times together right now? It would be waste if we wouldn't do that before how wedding ceremony comes."

As he said that, his embraced starting to become even tighter then.

"W-w-w-w-wait!" She said, as her cheeks turned brighten red then. "I-I never agree to marry with you! M-more importantly, I'm still wondering why you call me a wife!"

"As much as you hated to admit yourself, you definitely will be my wife then." As he avoiding answered her question, he gripped her chin with his fingers, making sure she wouldn't face away from his gorgeous face.

The brunette shut her eyes tightly, feared what he intended to do, and of course, she wouldn't forget to bite her lips just in case that man would ended up kiss her on the lips in the end.

After for some time later then, the embracing started to loose, Chizuru opened her eyes slowly, the President leaned against the wall once more.

"Chizuru."

"Uhh… y-yes?"

"I've heard that your theme in your class for the cultural festival would be a Maid Café, right?"

"Ah… that's right."

After she answered it, she noticed Kazama looked anywhere else except her then, as if he was in a deep thought…

"Senpai?"

"When the cultural festival comes…" Kazama began. "Don't leave me from my sight, got that?" He said, with a very furious tone like he used to whenever he called as Oni President. Hearing him with such a fierce tone of course she wouldn't say no to the President!

"Y-Yes! I understand, Kazama-senpai." She spoke without hesitated, though a it confused as to why the President wouldn't let her leaves from him.

At that, they spent their times on the rooftop until recess ends and class was about to start once again.

As school was finally over as well as the preparation for the cultural festival before it begins, Chizuru returned her home alone, as expected, she's been called by none other than her over-protective brother and getting lectured just because she accepted on making a suggestion of having a Maid Cat Café theme for her class. Then again, it's just for once right? It's not that she has to wear the maid dress every year. In which, Kaoru given up of convincing Chizuru wearing a maid dress, hung up in frustratedly.

After she finished on doing her homework and studies of her subject, midnight was coming so it was time for the brunette to go to sleep then. But just as she was about to have a good night sleep, her cellphone suddenly vibrating, she's got a new message from an unknown person.

Who on earth this person would send her a message in the middle of night?!

As she opened the message Chizuru began to read:

Are you still awake? Can you go to the river where it is to the nearest of the bridge? There's something I would like to show you.

From your handsome husband,

Kazama Chikage

Her mouth widen opened in surprised and shocked. Why the hell that man messaged her in the middle of night?! Is it really that important about her?! More importantly, how on earth did he known of her phone number? What is he? Some kind of stalker or something?!

Once more, her cellphone was vibrating again, got a new message from the President.

P.S.

Don't you expecting me that I'm your stalker. I've known of your phone number since I'm your future husband. I know everything about you. I'll be waiting near the river, Waga Yume.

At that, Chizuru feel the need to throw her cellphone on the wall already because of Kazama's cheesy messages. She never thought the President could able to read her mind despite she hasn't even gives a message yet…

She sighed softly as Chizuru has finally calmed herself down, decided to go to the river where Kazama is. The brunette sent him a message that she would gladly to go since she doesn't feel sleepy yet.

She get a white sweater and pink scarf to let herself warm when she went outside before she'll ready went to see the President. Though the brunette still wondered what that man intended to do in the midnight like this…

It took a while then she arrived to a place where Kazama located of. He seemed to be waiting of her by the looking of it; standing there, watching the beautiful night sky, as if he was waiting for her at the starry night instead of meeting at the river…

When Kazama finally noticed of the brunette's presence, he smirked widely; glad that his future wife went to the river like he asked to. But of course, Chizuru is a kind of person who would never say 'No' even if she didn't like the idea…

Chizuru couldn't help but be amazed of the President right now. Since it's gotten cold lately, Kazama wears a white jacket and a dark grey scarf to keep himself warm like Chizuru is now. She wondered why this man has always been such a gorgeous one, despite they are some of her friends are very handsome and all, yet Kazama is the best one of all..

"I knew you would come," Kazama finally spoke.

She pouted, "That's because you ask me to. Why did you even want me to come here, anyway? We can just go tomorrow morning.."

The President feels the need to smirk somehow. Seeing his wife pouting like a child was too damn adorable. It's makes him wanting to push down on the grass and took her first kiss already.. then again, he also feels the need to be patient every once in a while…

"Something's going to happen this night. So I would like to see together with my wife, of course."

Chizuru sighed softly. "Didn't I told before you that I'm not and never will I marry with you even after my graduation. We're just friends, nothing else."

As she spoke that, the brunette couldn't help but her heart suddenly stops pumping as if it had already shattered pieces by pieces already. What is wrong with her just now? Why did she felt heartbroken the moment she said the relationship between she and the President were just friends?

Is it because she didn't want him to see her just a friend? Is it because she wants him to see something much more deep? Something like.. more than just a friend? She didn't know.. she felt confused somehow.. if she asked this man who'd always been with her for a whole school life time, will she be able to find answer from him…?

As she kept thinking over about her feeling for Kazama, the next thing she knew, she fell down together with the President, ended up laying on the cold grassland.

"K-K-K-K-Kazama-senpai!" Chizuru stuttered in nervous, cheeks burnt into red, as her body closed to his.

He grinned.

"What's wrong, Waga Yume? Still nervous getting close with me?"

"Wh-what are you doing? What do we even waited for?! There's nothing happen here!"

"Shh... Don't worry. It's almost coming. Just be patient."

"O-Oh… okay."

At that, Chizuru waited of what the President intended to do, wondering why won't he just show it to her tomorrow morning. It's getting late already. She feared that she might be late in school like before.

Every time she looked at his gorgeous face, Chizuru couldn't helped but cheeks turned into red once more. Not just she was very closer to the President, she'd even could felt his hot breathed on her cold cheeks. She always kept praying to herself to make sure Kazama wouldn't notice of her red face…

"It's finally here." Kazama said, Chizuru faced to where the crimson-red orbs man looked at, her eyes widen in both stunned and surprised.

A millions of shooting stars began to shower down at the night beautiful sky. It's the first time the brunette has ever seen such a numerous shooting stars rain down in multiple times. She wondering if this is just a dream only…

"It's beautiful.." she commented, still amazed of what she saw with her own almond-brown orbs.

"I knew you would amazed by it." He said. "Rumors said that there'll be a million of shooting stars that's going to shower down in the middle of midnight. So I just thought it would be worth to take a look together with my wife."

"You.. you ask me to come here to look at the shooting stars together?" She asked, in disbelief, never seen Kazama can be such a… affectionate man before. As much as it annoyed her a little how he had a habit of calling her his wife, he wasn't such a bad person actually..

"Didn't I told you before that I would like to spend some precious time with my wife?"

As he answered that, she remembered how he once spoke that when the brunette was thankful to him for everything he'd done for her especially letting her stays in Hakuou Academy.

At that she came closer to him without any reason, and watching the shooting stars together until the President finally sent her back to her home.

Though, what she'd still curious about is how he looked gloom in recess just now. It's very unlike to see the President looked down and all. She wondered if he's got into a fight with his family or something. ..Speaking of family, she'd still hadn't known of the President and his family too. She wondered how his life looks like? Is it easy and grand like most rich people is? Even if she talked about his family, there's a doubt that Kazama would tell her everything…

"My Lord, it's time."

Kazama nodded, butlers and maids began to line up in a 2 row of opposite each other, as they bowed in respectfully when the President finally went into the black limousine car, letting Ayame drove it.

Sunday at night, the weather was in a rain heavily just as Kazama was expected. As much as he hated rain very much, yet he knew it's been always like this every time he visited her. When the bad weather was coming, he knew she'd still won't forgive her after what he'd done from a very long time ago..

Kazama sighed in frustratedly, went to find of her grave as quickly as he could, while he carrying a small bento of her favourite food.

Once he finally found her grave, he stood there, looking down on it, still regretful of what he'd done to her before she died. Still regretful of what he'd done that he didn't thought it's going to happen to her for real. He'd just thought she was having a normal fever.. but he was wrong. It's all his fault and he has to be responsible for everything…

"I do not think it is your fault for Kira-sama's death, Kazama-sama." Amagiri said, who's been following him all the way from his house to here, holding a black umbrella to keep himself from a cold.

The President didn't knew whether Amagiri said that just to cheer him up or comforts him, knowing that he's not the causes of Kira's death. However, what he knew is that it's still his fault. Kira died because of him! Why won't any of them blaming him?! If he hadn't took her out from their house when she'd still sick, having a high fever, she should have been alive right now.. if he hadn't took her out just because he wants to play along with her, she should have been alive already.

It's because of him, he killed her. He lets her died. He knew Kira still hadn't forgive her since the rain heavily was giving a sign how much she hated to see him now. How much she didn't want him to see her in her grave.

Even if none of them didn't blaming him of what happened to Kira.. even if neither his father nor her mother didn't blamed him of Kira's death.. yet Kazama knew that the person needs to take a responsible for death is him and him only…

"It's my fault…" He muttered under his breathed, staring of her grave like… forever.

Here lies

Kazama Kira

Died from illness

..That's what the grave written.

A/N: There you go guys~ Hope you like the new chappie :D I kinda feel the need to make a short Kazama backstory in which about his youngest sister. It's kinda bit important in the future then. Not gonna to tell you about this :P The cultural festival isn't the important plot that I was talking about. But I just thought I want to write a little slow KazaChi since I find it odd to make how Chizuru falls in love with Kazama in instant since you should've known that Chizuru hates him in canon since he's from Satsuma side, an enemy of the Shinsengumi(altho he was actually doing that for paying a debt that his family owe them)

Like me, I wouldn't trust very easily to the enemy, and I never will fall in love any of them even if they're handsome. I also find it more creeper if they show me affectionate or something like that.

Spoiler!I couldn't helped myself but to squeeeeal for Hakuouki SSL Drama especially Kazama moments. I would've expecting something better from him. Guess I was wrong xP My favourite moment is where Amagiri served some Kazama's expensive food in front of Chizuru(where she ate in cafeteria), which is, it's obviously that Kazama was meant to eat together with his waifu xDD I find it really cute though some people think Kazama is such a creeper, but I don't think he's not. Rather than called it as a creepy, it was more like funny.

But ofc, the thing I'm squealing about is actually how Kazama said Chizuru something about protecting so I get the feeling that Kazama would protect her despite my japanese translation may be wrong. Though, his laughter is not the best compare to Kenjiro Tsuda lol

Aaaand... I skip Hijikata part since I'm not a fan of him much. As much as I would love to complain about Hijikata part, I rather not to since I might ended up making some wars already lmao
