Chapter 5: Doubts

The rained poured down and it was getting pretty cold. Aya ordered some coffee and took a sip. Sakura was late but he was pretty sure she'd show up. He was right. A few minutes later the beautiful girl entered the shop. "Aya-kun," she said as she sat down in front of him, "I'm sorry if I'm late… it's just that Yuu and I got into a little argument." Aya nodded.

"May I know what about?" he asked.

"Nothing important really. He just got a little jealous. It's resolved now, so don't worry."

"Oh.. that's good. He's the jealous type then, huh? Be careful…"

"Thanks. Um… so how are you now? Are you still.. umm…"

"…"

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay. Let's just not talk about it."

"Hai…"

"So how are you and Yuu-san? Is he good to you?"

"Yes, I guess. He doesn't hit me or anything, and he gives me what I need."

"You're really grown up now, Sakura-chan. By the way… congratulations again."

"Thank you, Aya-kun. I have doubts on the marriage though… What if he's really not 'The One'? What ifm the man I really love loves me too… "

"…Sakura-chan—"

"You will go to our wedding, right?"

"If I can. It's been a really long time since we last talked, hasn't it?"

"Hai. We have a lot of catching up to do!"

"Um, Sakura-chan, how about dinner?"

"But it's still early for that…"

"…"

"Ah! I know! Let's watch a movie! THEN we'll have dinner. What do you think?"

"It's a good idea."

Yumi's hangover was pretty bad. She had started barfing the moment she woke and she felt awful. She combed her hair, washed her face and went to the kitchen to fix herself some breakfast. Much to her surprise though, it was already prepared by Todou and a stranger. "What the hell?" She asked, "I thought we were to meet later?" "This cannot wait, sister," Todou replied, "The Weiss member, Sena has killed Inagaki-san and we need you to get information from Hidaka-san." Yumi collapsed. She had done a favor for her brother by befriending Ken and thought that the assassination plan for Inagaki by Weiss was crap. She thought Todou just wanted her to check Ken out if he would be a good student for the Academy. "I, I thought… I… I can't believe this!" she cried. "Well believe it," the stranger told her, "coz the next one they'll be killing is yer brother." "So, sister, will you be willing to help me?" Todou asked. "Inagaki-san was like a father to me. You are my only family now, Todou-kun. I can't lose you," she replied.

"I can't believe Yumi fell for that. She really is dumb," Todou told the stranger.

"Hm… I don't know. she really is starting to like Hidaka. She has potential to suddenly switch sides you know."

"If that's the case then, Schuldig, do keep an eye on her."
