"I can't believe it...Ichiro?"

Ichiro Kojima, formerly Ichiro Sato, turned to the direction of the voice.

It was a blonde haired girl...that he recognized as his former classmate Ibuki Sato.

"...Ibuki?" He asked, he wasn't exactly disgusted or thrilled to encounter her again...he had practically forgotten about her after she stopped talking with him, mostly because he was busy with school...and other things.

The image of his Wife and his friends flashed through his mind.

"Haven't seen you in a while" She said, he idly wondered if she was aware that she had a hand in it.

"Me neither, how have you been?" He asked with a smile, he supposed that what she did to him was really...not great, it was so long ago and it didn't really matter now.

"Well life has been fine for me so far, neither horrible nor exceptionally great, but it's fine, what about you?" She asked with a smile as well, maybe she was just excited to catch up with an old friend...ok maybe calling it friendship looking back to what he knows wouldn't be accurate.

"Well life has been pretty good for me too, have a home, a good job, a wi-" He cut himself off wondering if it was ok to tell her about it, they weren't at school anymore, she wasn't his teacher anymore and it's been so long ago so he didn't need it to hide it...but he wasn't sure if she would be ok with it, it would be better to not say anything-

"Oh so you're married?" She asked, with a little deflated tone giving the impression she was disappointed.

Oh and she totally heard what he said, shit.

"Y-yeah I am, she's a really sweet person and we've been happy together" He said truthfully, although some people would laugh at the idea that "Kojima The Demon" was a sweet person, his best friend Rin Suzuki was shocked when he first learnt it...ah good times.

"Oh, who is she?" She asked curiously.

"Well, she 's…" He hesitated to say it…

"Ichiro, why are you taking so long? We are waiting for you"

Speak of the Devil and she would come.

"Miss Kojima?" Asked Ibuki incredulously.

"...Huh...who are you?" Asked Kana, Ibuki had not been one of her students so she didn't remember her.

"I'm Ibuki Sato, I was a student from Kawanuma West but I wasn't at your class" She explained, she was probably still perplexed on finding a teacher from her old High School there and looking for Ichiro.

"...Oh, that explains it" Ichiro noted her tone had gotten annoyed, he supposed she was annoyed at getting to encounter a student from Kawanuma West...that wasn't their friends or they were dating their teachers, meaning they have to hide their relationship from them.

"What are you doing here with Miss Kojima Ichiro?" The younger girl asked her former classmate, likely expecting him to be easier to talk to given what she knew of the two so long ago.

"Well-" Ichiro was thinking of a lie, Kana would probably come up with her own lie and he would-

"Ichiro is my husband and we're currently going out with some friends," Kana said with firmness, wrapping herself around his arm while glaring daggers at the other girl.

Ichiro's eyes nearly bugged out, they hadn't had to hide their relationship in years but she was the one that stressed out that they had to be careful during that time...even if she sometimes contradicted herself with her actions. For her to straight up admit their relationship to a former student/Classmate like that was something he did not expect.

"W-what?" Ibuki was at a loss for words.

"Yup, been with him for years" She said without changing her expression.

"Huh?!" Ibuki once again was shocked.

"We been in a relationship together right after he graduated"

"Wh-"

"We became really close during his last year, we been happy ever since"

Ichiro was beginning to think she had something against Ibuki, but currently he was more focused on how she threw any secrecy out of the window with her quick-fire revelations, it was almost like Kojima The Demon was resurfacing once again.

"Uh...mm...i'm happy for you!" Ibuki quickly said, partly out of intimidation, partly out of shock.

"T-thanks!" Ichiro said awkwardly.

"Thank you...You had a hand on it as well" Said Kana, grasping Ichiro's arm tighter and giving the girl a cocky smirk.

"Wha-"

"Remember how you gave him a love letter to mess with him, because you gave love letters to 'Unpopular guys' to mess with them? Well it's thanks to that...certain things happened and we became even closer, oh and you rejecting him means he wasn't dating you, so he ended up with...me" She was enjoying rubbing it in on her.

"T-that's great!" Ibuki said clearly, a bit uncomfortable.

"It's too bad you played him like this, he's a really good husband material, I know it better than everyone after all" Her smirk was getting bigger.

"R-really?"

"And he's really good in bed...and his dick is...oh, fantastic" She was sporting a painfully clear demonic smile.

"A-amazing, I t-think i-i l-l-left something at home, b-bye" And with that the girl left running.

…

"What was that?!" Ichiro asked, shocked.

"Driving away some cockroach, after what she did to you she didn't deserve to even look at you" She said not letting go of his arm.

"Ok...but why did you tell her everything? Wouldn't that ruin your reputation?" He was worried that his wife might get in trouble or get a bad reputation.

"Ichiro...it's been years, we are married and we didn't even do anything of the sort until you were 18, nobody is gonna care at this point, the school already knows we're married despite you being a former student" She pointed out.

"Oh...right, I didn't thought about it"

"Besides, I'm not ashamed to admit my love for you anymore, I know what she was after...nobody's gonna take you away from me, If it's necessary I shout it to the winds that I love you…" She said with love in her eyes.

"Kana...don't worry about it, nobody is gonna take me away from you, because I don't want anyone else, you're the only one I love and if I have to go through all those crazy events to get with you again...I would do it in a heartbeat"

"...Ichiro…"

The two just kissed for a bit.

"I think my mom would have a field day with what you said" Ichiro reminisced of his mom who always supported their relationship and pushed for it.

"She would, Saki couldn't stop bragging during our wedding after all…" Kana said remembering how the woman didn't stop saying she was right yet wishing both of them happiness...it was a really nice day in their opinion.

"...Oh crap, the others are waiting for us," Ichiro remembered.

"Shit that's right, let's go"

Despite their hurry the two smiled and went with their friends.

I though Aya (Ichiro's crush) and sato girl were the same character, I was wrong after re-reading
