Kanade always looked forward on Kazama's visit. It made him felt less lonely every time the other guy was around. He was fond on hearing stories or sometimes rant on how Kuroishi seemed not interested on doing his job seriously or caught sleeping in his office whenever Kazama arrived in the mansion.

" I wonder if Kazama-kun will visit today... ", Kanade patiently sitting in his usual spot.

Suddenly, he heard clicked coming from the door. A serving cart entered first with a bouquet of red roses, covered meal and teapot. Kanade was amused that Kazama had full of surprises. He was about to greet but only paused as soon as the person who carried that serving cart was not the one he expected to be.

" Kuroishi?...", Kanade surprisingly muttered. "Is this means Kazama-kun not coming anymore? " , he worriedly thought.

Yuto had his usual stoic expression as he entered the room completely making Kanade's smile and excitement faded.

" So, he was really expecting Keigo... " , Yuto thought. " He is busy... ", he reasoned out and walked towards Kanade giving first the bouquet of red roses.

Kanade just nodded as he received it but he refused to look at him eye to eye. If he did, he will get intimidated and his body will just cringe in fear for he still remembered how this guy treated him the first time he was stayed in that room.

Yuto quietly observing him as he placed the meal in the table in front of Kanade. It was an omurice but Kanade only stared on his food and seemed he was not interested to eat it.

" Don't like it?..", Yuto asked and began to sit on the side of bed near him. " If you like something just say so... "

He still got no response from Kanade who started to fidget on his seat.

" He is still not used to my presence... ", Yuto thought and sighed as he stood up, got the spoon, took a part of omurice which he ate in front of Kanade. The latter was indeed surprised in his actions finally able to look at him.

" I didn't put anything bad on it... ", Yuto assured. " He will get mad at me if you didn't eat... ", he added as he brought back the spoon on it's original position.

" I-I'm sorry...", Kanade quickly apologized and decided to eat. He was hesitant at first but as he tasted that the meal was great, he ate on his normal pace.

"Bruises are actually fading... definitely he is in good shape before that day... if, I look at him at this angle, it seems he is just ordinary guy ... Is he really the head of his family?...", Yuto doubtly thought while quietly watching Kanade enjoying his meal until...

"Thanks for the meal~", Kanade said unconsciously gave off his heart pounding smile to Yuto.

Yuto was staring surprisingly on Kanade. They were looking on each other for seconds until the Kanade's face tinted red as soon as he realized that he was not with Kazama. He quickly turned his head on the side and focus his sight on the bouquet.

"I forgot I'm with him... it's embarrassing... i better go to bathroom! ", Kanade frantically thought.

He stood and due to his uneasiness he tripped on the table's foot losing his balance. Yuto quick reflexes caught him before he completely fell. Very awkward moment that made Kanade flustered more for his face was now buried on Yuto's chest and worst, having close contact to this Kuroishi guy.

"Ahh~What should I do? Will he get mad? Why I need to become clumsy at the time like this?", Kanade unable move at that moment.

His anxious thoughts snapped as Yuto began to lift and carry him outside that room. Once again, Kanade began to look at him in his eyes obviously confused to the older one's action.

" Does it hurt somewhere?", Yuto inquired staring back at him as he strode towards the door carrying him bridal style once again.

" I-I am... fine... please-", Kanade muttered but he paused as soon as he saw some men wearing in black stared at them. Some were murmuring especially the maids but Kanade still clearly heard them making him feel more embarrassed than before.

"Is that the person? looked cute "

"I heard from the others that both Masters were interested in and was given special treatment"

"Maybe came from another family?"

They only stopped as soon as Yuto walked pass on them and they began to bow down to show respect.

"He seems different from what I already saw and feel on times he was at that room... He had powerful vibes ", Kanade remarked on the back of his head. Eyes that were powerful but only giving off authority that were respected by others.

Yuto suddenly stopped on an elder head maid and that's the only time Kanade transferred his gaze to the old woman who was around sixties. He warmly smiled at the woman who smiled back at him as well.

"Kindly cleaned that guestroom and transfer those valuables in my chamber...", Yuto instructed getting a nod from the head maid quickly leaving them to do her duty with other maids. Kanade was again surprised upon hearing what Yuto said.

"In his-? Why?... ", Kanade confusingly thought and he began to shiver thinking unnecessary stuffs again.

" You can freely move out there without getting hurt... ", Yuto explained as he felt that Kanade began to shiver in his arms upon hearing that will get transfer to his place. "I cannot afford hearing his ramblings once he find out that you got hurt... "

Kanade gradually calmed down a bit.

"It was not for my sake after all... its all about Kazama that he might misunderstand everything if I get injured under his presence... its understandable since it was Kazama's demand...", Kanade realized that all these acts were all meant for Kazama.

Why did he think that this guy suddenly would had a change of heart and he could fully trust and be friends him in the end. It's far from reality and he remembered the words Kuroishi said on his first day in that mansion.

"Everything will surely end as soon as he think of another punishment for me... Or maybe all these things are already part of incoming punishments... there is no way, he just forget what happen to his comrades easily...", Kanade thought as his expression turned sorrowful.

He didn't even realize that they already reached Yuto's bedchamber. The place was really huge, a large masterbed with veranda outside. There was also an entertainment area where television, sound system located and a music room. On the ceiling had expensive chandeliers and ornaments plus decors almost related to sea and sailing. They entered another door, where the room was not as big as earlier but there was also a veranda, single bed, empty shelves and own restroom. The color of the wall was painted in beige and also well airconditioned. Yuto carefully bring him down and sat him on bed.

"This will be your room starting today... if you need something I'm just behind that door... Later, you will eat in the dining hall wih me... You-", Yuto paused explaining as he noticed that the younger man was not paying attention. " Hey, what's with you? "

" I understand... ", Kanade forcefully smiled flopping himself on the bed and stared blankly on the ceiling.

" You are not prisoner here so feel free to roam around... just don't dare to escape... ", Yuto reminded as he decided to leave him alone. He took another glance to Kanade before he completely closed the door.

"His smile a while ago was difference from the one he show after that meal...", Yuto observed. He went to the veranda and continued his thoughts. " I guess it's too much for the sudden move...but this the best way to get him used to my presence...rather get him to be close to me as soon as possible".

He unconsciously smirked thinking that he was doing a lot of effort that he began to take an interest over Kanade. "I doubt him a while ago as head of his family but I think his qualities of being the leader isn't visibly seen in his physical traits but more in the inner traits that it seems he didn't even notice that he can get everyone trust him... ", Yuto concluded as he remembered that the old headmaid wasn't usually seen smiled until she just saw Kanade.

" but that characteristic is merely a target for others to use and manipulate him... Not bad if I keep him as mine forever since he was a big asset and treasure after all... I'll make him the one to destroy his own family", Yuto schemed.

Meal was not served to Kanade since he was now required to eat in the dining hall with Yuto and if Keigo was around. Yuto already instructed the cooks to serve meals that Kanade's favorite. It's another way to get the person by providing what's their favorite. The younger wold only talked if he was also asked. Yuto didn't mind as log as they had a conversation despite too short.

As for Kanade, he decided to get used to it and even forced himself to greet and trust a bit on the other guy. Kuroishi might have huge difference with Kazama but he couldn't do anything if the Kurofune leader wanted that way. Even at the beginning, he had no rights and choice after all. He should just followed without any objections. He had that kind of life to begin with... his existence was merely a tool for others to use and he shouldn't think about himself first... its always the family, the priority.

Since Keigo rarely came home, he wasn't informed that Yuto already moved Kanade to his chamber. One early morning, a day before Kanade's birthday he decided to visit and usually went straight to old Kanade's room. He was also excited to give his present and of course, the status of the preparations of celebration. His excitement died down as soon as he entered the room.

" Kanade?... ", Keigo was surprised seeing completely empty and clean room. The first thing popped on his mind was to go straight to Yuto and asked what's happening.

"Don't tell me he already get rid him off...without even telling me... and all my efforts for the arrangements will be wasted...", Keigo murmured as he quickly strode to Yuto's chamber. He just ignored the men and maids greeted him for his priority was to talk to Yuto.

He just barged in without knocking on the room.

"YUTO!"

"Uh? so early Keigo, what do you want?", Yuto asked lazily as he just glanced on fuming Keigo who walked straightly to him in his sofa.

"Stop pretending you didn't do anything... where is he? what did you do to him? Do you plan to tell me everything?", Keigo continously asking clearly mad.

"Keep it down...", Yuto calmly responded as he stood up and walked to another door Keigo followIng on his back.

"What?", the blonded was confused.

" Go check inside and due to your early commotion he might already awake now...", Yuto gently opened the door revealing a red-haired guy who was still peacefully sleeping on bed. Keigo finally calmed down and he quietly walked inside the room.

His worries all washed away as soon as he saw that the younger guy was all right and sleeping peacefully on that white bed. Lips bit parted and some hair strands were covering Kanade's face which Keigo gently moved aside. He even fixed the blanked before he decided to left the room.

"Ain't he cute when he is sleeping?", Keigo remarked as he gently closed the door.

"Fond of him already? ", Yuto asked as if he wanted to determine what Keigo felt on their now considered guest.

"I cared for he is my coworker in casino... he is a good person... ", Keigo explained as he sat on the sofa watching Yuto preparing some cups of coffee. "You already knew whom I am interested right? and its not him..."

"But he seems he is fond at you than to me...by the way, what's with that a while ago?"

"I thought you get rid him off... actually, I was surprised seeing that room was empty... who's fault is that?", Keigo retorted as he accepted the cup of coffee.

"Sorry about that I almost forgot to tell you...", Yuto reasoned out.

"Usual you as always... by the way, everything is well prepared and I suggest we dressed him up different for we invited some close dealers of our company... Better they don't find out that we had the Koutsu Shingo's missing boss...", Keigo explained.

" Best if you are the one who will explain to him since he is still coping up to my presence... "

" Okay, Yuto hope you don't mind asking you this but I want to know why you work so hard on getting close to him? It's rare to see you like that... ", Keigo finally asked. It's confusIng to Keigo's side after all and even assumed that his friend was started to fall to the other.

" I am just interested...that's all...", Yuto responded continued sipping his cup of coffee. "He had a quality that you didn't know..."

Keigo just got more confused. What quality that he didn't know? He was with Kanade for long time and he was just a simple, nice guy who sometimes, a bit clumsy. "Maybe, Yuto accidentally find it out? but I am curious what is it?", Keigo thought.

"You will see it tomorrow...", Yuto assured.
