"Futaro? N-nino?" A small, weak yet audible voice quipped looking at the bizarre scenery that was in front of the Quintuplet and her date. The sensation that Kintaro and Nino felt were like massive amounts of waves that came crashing down.

They turned around to see the person in question, and one of Nino's sister's expression was scary to say the least. On the outside, it looked like she was smiling. Behind the smile though was a deadly glare, perhaps from irritation, and quite possibly, jealousy.

The Quintuplet in front of them was wearing a blue headphone with three triangles and her iconic blue sweater that covered her torso. She was also wearing a black pantyhose that Kintaro knew to never look at if he wanted to live without ever facing the wrath of her other Quintuplets.

"M-Miku? F-fancy seeing you here!" He tried to smile just to be met with a death stare from the quintuplet who was oozing with jealousy and betrayal from the fact that Nino went and gone to gain Kintaro's exclusive love and affection.

"What are you two about to do?" Miku inquired with a deadly yet hurt voice. Life wasn't fair for her in terms of academics, physical athleticism, and in relationships. First, she was quite popular for being one of the slowest runners among her sisters. Second, she doesn't know how to cook. She knew that the adversary in front of her was a formidable opponent since she knows how to cook. You know what they say: "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach."

Thankfully for her, Kintaro was never raised in a family wherein food was all it takes to grade someone's worth. For some reason though, it sounds ridiculous. Then again, it might sound plausible if they were talking about a certain world where they would create questionable sounds when they eat food.

Third, her sister actually went behind their backs before even stating the fact that Kintaro was their long lost tutor. It was painful for her that her opponent, who was also her sister was aiming for his attention. She was doing anything whatever it takes to get him all for herself. Lastly, it unusually ticked her off looking at Kintaro and Nino being chummy. Being a pragmatic and mysterious girl with silent tendencies so she wouldn't look weird, Miku was jealous enough to interrupt both of them when they were about to kiss.

"W-well, you s-see…" Nino tried to excuse themselves out of the hot-seat that Miku suddenly placed them into. Sure, it might seem like they were about to kiss, and in fact they were. In reality, Nino didn't mind sharing him to her sisters in the first place, but she would've loved it if she was the first one to make him fall for her. "It's not what you think Miku!"

Even though her attempts to dissipate the tense environment, and especially the hollow-eyed Miku, she didn't buy any of her lies. "Tell. Me. The. Truth." Her voice was already deadly, and one wrong word could tick her off and force them to face her wrath.

'It's weird that she's giving off this chilling vibe. Maybe…' Kintaro was thinking of ways to calm the betrayed Miku down. His face didn't show any emotion, showing her a deadpan look. Good thing for him, she didn't see anything since her attention was solely focused on the Quintuplet that was desperately looking for any excuse to keep her off the truth that they almost kissed each other.

She nudged Kintaro's side begging for help and showed him a face that had an expression of a child that was being scolded for doing something bad. 'Help me Kin-kun!' She decided that she was going to do just to bring Miku out of her "yandere" trance.

Kintaro, being smart and all, of course knew how to calm down the raging Miku that had empty eyes. Of course, it was going to be a price to pay since they were seen by one of the quintuplets. It was fine if it was a random stranger or passerby had seen them, but fate was up to no good. Instead of a passerby seeing them being so mushy and showing Public Display of Affection, it was Miku, who was actually coming home from studying on her own about History.

Ichika was practicing her lines as usual, while Yotsuba was currently watching some good old Fashion Anime. Itsuki however, was being herself. She was currently eating her favorite food in the world with no worries. The only worries she has would be her grades and exams.

Back to the present time, introducing Kintaro, Miku and Nino, the latter was trying to figure out how to deal with a Miku that was about to give them hell.

'I'm sorry about this Nino.' He thought, hoping that his thought would be expected.

He approached Miku slowly while looking out for any eccentric movement from the headphoned-quintuplet. "Miku."

"…" Miku was silent, monitoring each and every movement Kintaro makes. She was sure to hurt him and her sister for betraying them all.

Surprisingly to Miku, to Nino's shock and to Kintaro's determination, he enveloped the silent Quintuplet in a hug that melted in his arms from receiving too much warmth. It was still winter, but the warmth that he was radiating eased her jealous streak down to the size of an ant. If it was possible, she wished that he would never let her go out of his embrace.

Before he knew it, his actions was quickly reciprocated by a hug from Miku, who was quietly tearing down for his recklessness and stupidity. Oh, and also the fact that he and Nino were about to kiss that time when they met her.

"Dummy." She weakly quipped. "Did you not know that we were worried for you? Did you not know how much we missed you? Me?" She was on the verge on wearing out her heart on her sleeves, but not until he comforts her that he won't ever disappear again would she be able to cry her heart out.

It hurt his heart like hell. Her newfound courage to confess this pain to him made his heart ache. It was too much for him to take all of this pain from this Quintuplet. 'Oh great. If they ever find out, I'll dub myself "worst man" on this planet for not explaining.' "I'm sorry." was all he can say to the sobbing quintuplet who apparently missed him so much.

"Did… you know… how much…" She was already having a hard time keeping up with her words. Her statements were jumbled by hiccups. "we were broken… when you… left us…. Without any notice?!"

"I'm sorry." He repeated. He didn't know what to say except he admitted his mistakes like a man, but of course he can't say the reason just yet. It was a foolproof statement that he cared his family to the point that he was going to do anything to get their debts removed. His sister Raiha, was also the reason why he was working so hard towards his dream of being able to give them a suitable lifestyle. He wanted a lifestyle where they would be able to relax with minimum hardships, not a lifestyle that made them indebted to some peculiar group.

"It… isn't fair…" She continued, still on a hiccupping spree from her constant sobbing. "You get… to be chummy with Nino, while… leaving us unnoticed…" She admitted, grasping on Kintaro's masculine back.

He sighed with remorse. It was really painful for him to be the reason for this quintuplet's misery. Being a loving human being, it was natural for him to take care of the ones he loves to the best of his abilities and capabilities. "I'll make it up to you, I promise." He signaled Nino to come closer and give her sister a hug, to which she complied immediately.

She crept up slowly on the almost-done sobbing quintuplet and embraced her with love while sharing her warmth as well. "I'm sorry Miku. I should've told you about how I knew that Kintaro was someone we knew from the very start."

She told her sister in a low voice, "It's alright Nino. I'm sure that you were just wanting to get his emotions by having a headstart on him."

Nino softly smiled at her innocent sister that she was forgiving. She now knew better than to never hide anything to her sisters if it was actually going to hurt them. 'Maybe I'll tell this to the others as well. Then again, let's see how this might goes first.' She decided to delay her report about the Futaro that was in front of them, hugging each other.

"At least now, I'll jump in the competition."

"What?"

"Eh?"

Unexpectedly, Miku pushed him to the wall, causing a Nino to get shocked and Futaro to be baffled.

Nino was currently looking intently in Kintaro and Miku who was dangerously close to each other, as if they were almost about to kiss. It was going to be a tough competition for the Quintuplet that learns how to cook against the Quintuplet that has a Church as its fanbase.

"Futaro…" She whispered while still looking at his eyes. Her eyes were clearly glistening, assumably fresh from the tears that already dried out.

"M-Miku…"He flinched. It was a shocking revelation to him that Miku can easily flip a switch. From a Yandere, towards her original Kuudere with a bit of assertion coming from her.

It was going on smoothly until their romantic staring contest and with lips moving in towards each other were disturbed by a jealous Quintuplet. Aside from the fact that the Assertiveness she displayed were shocking, it was actually a test whether if he actually loves her just like how much he loves Nino. To her delight, it was kindly reciprocated and it felt quite nice. Being his wife would bring her happiness and eternal peace inside.

"M-Miku?!" Nino's voice boomed out, causing Kintaro and Miku to stop on their tracks and look at the quintuplet that was blushing madly from their affection to each other. Of course, she was still willing to share him with her siblings, much that everything that he has, including some invaluable objects such as time, will be split in fifths.

"How could you?!" She screamed, while the unresponsive quintuplet just stared at her with confusion.

"How assuring, coming from someone who tried to make a move on him without being fair." Her eyes were still hollow, and unfortunately ready to fend off her property, which she was still facing body-wise.

"I-I" She stuttered for a moment, hesitating to go against her. It was like overcoming a tough obstacle with no help. "I got to him first!" She stomped down to approach both Kintaro and Miku as she grabbed his arm and yanked it to her side.

"Like I said, I'm joining this competition for his affection, and I'm not going to let anyone, including my sisters stop me." She snapped back, grabbing the object of their affection his arm and yanking it towards her side. Before they knew it, it was already becoming a tug-of-war, with Kintaro as their rope, or more specifically, his arm becoming the rope.

'How did it come to this?'He resignedly sigh at the dilemma that was tugging his arm until it would eventually break. Being a strong individual with buffy arms, he managed to yank both of his arms causing the quintuplet playing tug of war with a human to fall to his arms. Good thing that he was reflexive enough that he managed to catch them with no difficulty at all. The sudden contact of said boy manage to give both quintuplets a blush that appeared on their cheek from how stable and sturdy the feeling was. If it was even possible, they wished it'll never end.

"Now, there's no need to be stingy girls. I have two arms that you guys can hold on to." Kintaro said in a matter of factly.

The blush however didn't fade from their cheeks, still red from the recent contact he did.

'F-Futaro's h-holding me…' Miku thought. She never realized that she would feel something like this. If she were to feel something that would give her the "butterflies in her stomach" kind of feeling, it would be a Warlord carrying her bridal Style. Even if Kintaro wasn't a warlord or anything, it was enough to make Miku feel like she was in heaven.

While Miku is currently in a trance from the sudden the shock of Kintaro holding and supporting her, the other quintuplet was currently blushing as a tomato, was wishing something romantic like this would happen. Although it would be a bit much better if a certain someone didn't manage to catch up to her, so that it would just be a piece of cake when fighting for his affection.

'Argh, why did Miku have to appear to us? I was about to get him all for myself damn it!' She internally cursed at herself for not being able to attain her second intense kiss. The first one was of course the time when she knew that they met Futaro all along and had lie to them about being with her friends. Of course, she treated him like a friend. Just add boy to that, and you have what Nino treats Kintaro as: A boyfriend.

After some awkward silence due to the things that conspired just recently, he was able to put them down, much to Nino and Miku's disappointment. It ended too quickly for them, and both of them wished that they would feel his buffy yet durable arms again.

'Maybe I should invite her to my place? I mean, Nino DID sleep with me in my room yesterday. What's the worst thing that can happen?' He thought. He wanted to add Miku to his harem collection, but that sounds a bit too rude and cruel for an Angel like Miku, right? If reality was being physical with people, they wouldn't have any problem hitting Kintaro with a sign that shouted "Playboy" or "Womanizer" to him.

Unlucky to him though, some individuals were staring at the hysteria that was happening. In Kintaro's point of view, what all he can see was two quintuplets vying for his only attention. The other innocent bystanders, mostly male were looking at him with huge bloodthirst. It was even a miracle that he's still breathing at this point. If only their stares would kill, he would already have been dead at this moment.

Trying to muster up the courage to Invite Miku to his condominium, he decided to screw it and invite her. "Hopefully this doesn't go wrong." He internally said not knowing where this event would arrive to.

"Hey, Miku? Would you like to come over to my place?" Kintaro asked, hoping that Nino would be fine inviting one over sisters to his place. What's wrong with adding a few more girls? Besides, it's one of her sisters, so that would be a plus. Hopefully?

The response of the 2 quintuplets were silent. Miku wanted to take the initiative and claim Kintaro All for herself while giving Nino the challenge for his attention and affection. Nino on the other hand hesitated. She wasn't sure if she would be able to get his time, especially with how Miku Can be determined for his heart.

She thought that it would be an easy path for her in a race for his heart. But of course, she really had to jump in into the race. Not wanting to make her sister sad from being rejected, she made it seem like a good idea.

"Why not Miku? You don't have anything to do later, right? We can just text them that you're going to come home late!" Nino frankly said while clinging ever so tightly to Kintaro's buffy arms. She made sure that she was going to be the one that would win him in the end. She made it sure that she would give Miku a tough competition.

Miku eyed the two love birds together. It wasn't really surprising that Nino would be a tough competition especially with how she loved him so much. Not relenting on the apparent personality that her 2nd sister showed, she closed her eyes and smile earnestly that would make boys and girls swoon over how and think how much of a cinnamon roll she is.

"Of course. I'd love to have a dinner with you Kintaro!" She tackled Him with the force of a rushing buffalo. Thanks to his stature, Kintaro managed to catch her with all of his might, making the people around their place jealous all over again.

Nino was about to rebut when he's spoke again not wanting to deal with another constant stare of jealousy, he managed to calm the two quintuplets down that were bickering for his attention.

"Now, now, you guys need to stop fighting. Look around you." Kintaro said with a sweet tone that would send girls melt, and boys alike as well. The quintuplets calmed down and had to around. The saw that many people were staring at them and it made them blush. It was quite embarrassing at how to sisters were fighting each other just because of a single guy, more so when three more competitions would arise in the near future.

Both of them wanted to say something but never decided to for it was much wiser to stay silent until they would be in a private place.

"Fine, let's settle this later!" Both of them synchronously said. They were going to settle things once and for all. Oh boy he will add another headache to his life, although he never really minded in the first place considering it was five girls that he wanted to spend most of his time with, including his family.

He was pretty screaming at his self internally. 'This day can't get any worse, can it?'

In the Quintuplet Apartment

Three girls were minding their own business. Ichika was drying her hair after having a nice long hot bath. Itsuki What'swas currently in her room eating some favorite snacks well watching her favorite series. Yotsuba, being Yotsuba, was exercising in her room. They were all waiting for Nino and Miku to return until they received a call from Miku.

"I'll get it!" Yotsuba happily declared after taking a break from her evening routine. She wanted the one to be answering the call after the other quints were using the phone for whatever reason. "Hi! This is Yotsuba speaking! How can I help?"

"Yotsuba?" A girly voice coming from the phone boomed.

"Who's this?" The carrot quintuplet scratched her hair. Being one of the stupid quintuplets that they were originally, she can't help but feel a bit reminiscing as she assumed that she heard this voice before.

"It's Miku." The voice showed a deadpan tone. It was quite apparent that they need to work on their brains, minds, and especially relationship with "him". Don't forget that they need to work on knowing each other especially with how they're sisters for goodness sake!

"Oh. Ehehehehe…." She sweatdropped at her stupidity. For once, she actually needs to take knowing her sister's voice. She cleared her throat out as to remove the awkwardness of the start of the call. "What do you need sis?"

"I want to say that I'm going to stay over to a friend's house." She said. Her voice had lowered down with every word. It's not like she was jealous at how Nino and Kintaro were closely together cooking for their dinner. Nope. Not going… to… budge… Must… resist….

"I-is N-" Yotsuba jumped out when she heard a voice that sounded like Nino. True to her actions, it sounded like there was a commotion going on the other side, specifically Miku, Kintaro and Nino's. In the trio's side, they were having another tug of war. The object of attention? If it wasn't obvious enough, it was Kintaro. They were arguing on who would stay on their beloved ex-tutor who was currently sweatdropping at the events unfolding. For him, it doesn't really matter if they were trying their best to convince him to sleep by their side. Besides, he already slept with one of the quints, so why not give a chance to the other one that wasn't able to slept beside him?

"R-right, maybe you guys need to stop arguing? Please?" He clasped his own arms in a desperate plea to stop the ever ongoing fight that was going to turn ugly if left untreated."Who cares if who gets to sleep with me? You guys are still my friends, well, except for Nino of course." He stated in a matter of fact tone.

"W-what do you mean, 'except for Nino?'" MIku gasped at his revelation.

"Don't you know? I already slept with him, and I'm not planning to give him up to any of you! You guys can't steal him from me!" Nino clung to his buffy arms in a way to say that she owns him, and vice versa.

"I-is t-that true?" Miku said worrily. It was quite bizarre that Nino and Kintaro would actually sleep together. Where's the former Nino that would despise his existence? Where's the Nino that would hate his guts and do anything to make sure that he doesn't steal her family away from her?

"Yes, I did." That did it. That three cursed words made Miku let out a sigh and contemplated on whether if she should even join into attaining his sole affection. It was already bad enough that she had someone to be on the first place.

Seeing her dejected sister's sigh, it made her feel ashamed and embarrassed that she would play dirty and try to get a head start in love. Unfortunately, people do say "all's fair in love and war.", and that is what her mindset is on. Though, there's no shame in having a fair fight right? There wouldn't be any bad blood happening in the first place.

"Miku?" Nino tried to talk to her sister, and in return received a gloomy expression from the brunette. "How would you like to sleep with him for today?"

Miku's eyes brighten suddenly, as if her personality took a complete 180 and was hopeful that it would be the case. By case, it meant that she would give up for now and let her spend time with her Kintaro.

"Yeah." She nodded and continued, "It'll turn out catastrophic if the other three became suspicious of me, right? "Besides," She tugged his Ki-kun and kissed his burning cheek, obviously from how Nino acts when she tries to set her eyes on someone. "Ki-kun wouldn't mind!"

"R-really?" Miku asked, with tears threatening to fall if Kintaro would say the wrong message to her.

Kintaro saw what Nino was trying to do: Cheer Miku up, or else see the cinnamon bun cry. Knowing what to do, he gently smiled at her and patted her head. "Of course, as long as Nino doesn't mind, I'm fine with it."

Miku felt her face redden to a tomato, and was feeling fuzzy inside. She was glad that she fell in love with a caring guy such as him, and she's thankful to have a caring sister such as Nino.

Cuing her signal to leave, Nino whispered in a sultry voice. "Don't do anything naughty, alright?~ Remember, you're mine, and mine alone.I'm just letting Miku have the time of her life with you."

Kintaro flinched internally, but was able to not show any cringe at how Nino's voice made him bothered all of a sudden. Of course, being a man and all, every individual has their own sense of desires.

"Bye Miku, bye Ki-kun!" She waved and went off. "Oh right, before I forget!" She snapped her fingers.

"Did you f-" He wasn't able to finish his sentence since his lips was covered by Nino's. Good thing was that Miku was hugging the force out of Kintaro, and that she never noticed the event that was happening right in front of her. How awkward would it be to see your sibling kissing the man that you wish to be with for the rest of life?

"N-" As usual, he wasn't able to say anything due to Nino placed her finger on his lips. Nino leaned again to his ears and whispered, "There's more to where that came from, IF you choose me." She winked at him and went to proceed outside to go home and explain where she went for the past day.

After the debacle happened, she forgot one thing: The phone that Yotsuba was on line on.

Kintaro was released from Miku's hug. She then went to the phone to finish the conversation. She wasn't able to wait after longing for his affection and touch.

"Sorry about that Yotsuba. Nino is coming back home."

"E-eh? What about you Miku?"

"I'm going to stay at my friend for the night. Bye." She finished the conversation with her carrot quintuplet, who on the other hand was confused.

"That's strange. Miku doesn't have any friends, does she?" Yotsuba inquired her mind. Eh, it doesn't matter. They'll be able to get the answer in no time once Nino arrives.

After Dinner

Time goes so fast when you're having fun, especially if that fun involves having your love one enjoy the time with you. After Miku and Kintaro ate their dinner, Miku had her items prepared for her, except for her… essential items. Kintaro was lying down in his room, where his door was opened. It contained a freshly bathe Miku, in her blue pajamas, with two buttons not connected, leaving to the individuals imagination.

"You smell good Miku." Kintaro complimented. He smelled what it appears to be a matcha smell.

"H-how do you like it, K-Kintaro?" she shyly asked for his opinion, just to be sent with a pat to his bed. Following his instructions, Miku sat on his bed and was dragged forcefully by Kintaro. He clung to her as if she was about to disappear if he never held her tightly.

"I don't like it." Kintaro stoically said, receiving a sigh from the Warlord Quint.

"I knew it. Maybe I should've-"

"I love it." Kintaro smelled more of Miku's hair while hugging her.

"Really?"

"Really. It accentuates how lucky I am to have someone like you by my side, Miku." He finally said with a smile, making the quint blush again for the umpteenth time. At this point, no one can tell how many times she blushed due to his straightforward approach to her.

"I'-I'm glad." She softly laughed. "I-I feel… sleepy…" Her eyes were threatening to close any moment, but before that could even happen, she wanted to ask some things to Kintaro after being reunited in the market.

"Hey, Kintaro?"

"What is it Miku?"

"U-um…" She hesitated at first. However, if she wants to catch up to Nino, she has to take initiative. Sooner than later, she finally told him.

"Do you think we can go on a date, just the two of us?" Miku said in a low voice, but he was able to hear out the message that Miku wanted to say.

"Of course. We'll go on a date tomorrow, is that fine?"

"Yeah. Thank you." She smiled while staring at his golden eyes. How come he has golden eyes that looks so nice to look at all the time?

Before sleeping, Kintaro wanted to say something. They were still staring at each other, mind you.

"Miku?"

"Mm?"

"Thanks for being here with me." He gave her a peck softly on the lips. Miku in turned accepted it and giggled. They were at this point lying in a spoon position, with Kintaro and Miku facing each other.

They whispered to each other before sleeping.

"Goodnight, my Virago."

"Goodnight as well, my Warlord."

And thus, the fateful day of having to date Nino, accidentally meeting up with Miku comes to an end. They went into a deep sleep, and were expecting the best for tomorrow.

'Thank you for staying by my side even if I disappeared.'

'Thank you for appearing back in my life, Futaro.'
