When she woke up the next morning Hikaru heard a loud banging of pots and pans and groggily sat up before a hand flew to her mouth. She had gotten up too quickly and almost felt the drinks from last night coming back up. Man she had drank way too much.

"It's about time you got up"she heard a voice yell from the kitchen. Hikaru winced, the loud banging and yelling was aggravating her hangover. She didn't have time to reply and instead reached for the nearby trashcan and proceeded to empty her stomach. The alcohol definitely didn't taste any better coming back up and when Hikaru was done her eyes were watering and she had a nasty taste in her mouth.

"Try not to get anything on our wood floors"he said and Hikaru wanted to retort but she felt way too shitty. In all honesty she should be happy. The shitty feeling all over her body kept her from being scared that she was in the same room as him. But she would have to get over that anyway she was married to Ryuga the dragon emperor. The man who had imprisoned her and taken her love for blading. She managed to drag herself over to the sink where she filled a glass of water for herself before sitting on a nearby barstool putting her head down.

"I think I'm dying"she managed to say but he didn't say anything just continued to cook. She smelled the bacon but the smell of food just made her even more nauseous. When she heard a glass bang down in front of her she frowned and looked up.

"Do you have to be so loud"she asked but he didn't say anything. If it wasn't for the loud noise she wouldn't have even known he slammed the glass down. It was a strange brown sludge which was mushy and looked almost like what Hikaru had just thrown up. Her stomach threatened to heave again as she thought about it.

"Drink it"he said when he saw her apprehension.

"Trying to poison me already"she asked, managing a small smile but the glare he shot her made it quickly disappear.

"If you don't drink it I'll keep banging around"he threatened hitting a pan hard with a metal spoon making a loud clang that made her grit her teeth.

She looked at the substance one more time before she drank it which made her want to vomit again. It had a mushy texture that repulsed her as it slid down her throat. She had made a terrible choice last night and she just wanted it to be over. Once she drank it he took the cup and she laid her head back on the counter.

"If you stay there you're gonna fall"he scolded but she didn't reply. She wasn't even sure she could move she just wanted all the pain to go away. But when she felt him grab her a little too tightly and carry her she couldn't find the words to protest. She kept her eyes closed as he put her down and sloppily tossed a blanket over her before slamming the door on his way out.

"What an asshole"Hikaru mumbled to herself before drifting back to sleep.


The next time she woke up Hikaru managed to trudge into the bathroom and shower before heading over to the dresser where she looked forward to putting on some other sleep clothes and going back to bed in the bed this time. But as she opened the drawers all she saw were shirts and shorts she didn't recognize. They must have been his but where were all her clothes? Part of this whole marriage was that people were supposed to move her stuff but they were obviously working a little slow.

She was going to just sit in her towel, but if it slipped off and he saw her naked she might just die. It didn't matter that eventually she might see him naked or vice versa since they lived together and since they were m-. She still couldn't say it, the second she said it it made everything about this real.

So instead she picked a black tank top and matching black shorts. Curiosity got the best of her and she started to go through the rest of the dresser. It seemed like all he owned was tank tops and even funnier was that they were almost all black.

"If this is your attempt at seducing me you're failing miserably"a voice said and Hikaru stiffened before turning to the door with a tank top still in her hand. She was glad she had gotten dressed before rummaging through the rest of the dresser. But as she saw him sitting there she dropped the tank top like it had burned her and quickly closed the drawer.

Ryuga watched her with a smirk on his face, he was irritated she had been snooping but her reaction made it worth it. She was flustered and it made the image in front of him even better. She was standing in his tank top and even if it was looser on her he could still see the points of her nipples through the shirt and a slight swell where her hips were. Then his basketball shorts made her look tiny but he had to admit she was.

"Of course not"she spat, making her cheeks turn a brighter shade of red. He raised an eyebrow and she continued. "I took a shower and needed clothes, mine haven't shown up yet"she said and he nodded.

"Well next time, maybe check around the room"he said gesturing to another side of the room where there was another dresser. He opened the top drawer to show her the clothes inside.

"Maybe I should return the favor by going through your clothes,"he said as he started to rummage.

"Actually maybe these aren't yours I never pegged you for a thong kinda girl"he said holding up a bright red lace thong. Hikaru wanted to crawl into bed and die but instead she walked over to them to snatch them out of his hand.

"I'm sorry ok"she said before stuffing the panties back in the drawer and slamming it shut. He looked as if he might stop her by putting his hand in the way and she almost wished he would so she could crush his fingers. That should teach him not to snoop anymore, but he didn't so she didn't get the satisfaction.

"Ryo wanted me to give you this, he said you were working from home all week, so you could get settled in"Ryuga said putting down a small stack of papers on the bed.

"That's it"she asked knowing they had a huge tournament coming up. It didn't make sense but she assumed Ryo was just being nice and trying to give her a break.
