Warning: bad words. :D I don't usually like writing bad words... but, typical guys say that... so what can we do? :| oh well, you'll find out when you read.

Always With You

Ch 2- Lovers' Quarrel

"K...Kento-kun?" Sawako looked up and gasped in surprise while wiping her tears.

Upon seeing her sad and crying face, Kento Miura felt intense concern and worry for the shy girl. He immediately knelt down and wiped her tears with his handkerchief. Sawako allowed him to wipe his tears while more tears flowed. She felt very shy with the presence of the dashingly handsome Kento.

He asked gently. "Why are you crying Sawako-chan? What happened?"

"I'm fine..." Sawako said softly while standing up. She was still crying a bit. She didn't want to tell Kento that Kazehaya hurt her feelings because he would get really crossed at him for sure. She didn't want a fight to ensue between both of them. Besides, she knows that Kazehaya has a reasonable explanation as to why he is very angry. She was sure than she can understand him.

"How can you be fine? You are crying!" Kento said worriedly. "Come on, don't lie to me!"

Sawako still refused to tell, but her tears welled up again.

"What's wrong?" Kento asked again while tapping her shoulder. "By the way, why aren't you with your boy friend?"

When Sawako heard this, she couldn't help but frown and break into more tears. She sniffed.

When Kento saw her actions, he went into a rage and slammed the wall.

"Kazehaya made you cry, didn't he?" Kento exploded like a volcano.

Sawako shook her head while rubbing her eyes.

"Tell me the truth! I know that you've covering up for Kazehaya! What did that bastard do to you? He promised me that he will take care of you!" Now, Kento was very mad.

Sawako sniffed and whispered. "Please don't call him that..."

"Aw... Sawako, I don't know what happened, but..." Not knowing what to do, Kento pulled Sawako in a friendly embrace and said. "Just tell me when something's wrong. Tell me when that -that... guy hurts you!"

"He... He didn't hurt me... I think I'm just too sensitive..." Sawako whispered while Kento embraced her. She lightly pushed him away, feeling ashamed.

"What exactly happened?" Kento asked curiously as he let go of her.

"He just called just now... And he sounded angry. He got even angrier when he found out that I was alone. He told me to stay put here and wait even if I told him I know how to go home by myself..." She explained in between the choking sound of her tears. "He called me hardheaded..."

Kento was surprised at what he heard. Kazehaya was definitely jealous... Kento didn't know of what exactly, however, he might go into a rage and hurt Sawako. Kento decided to protect Sawako from the crazy madman Kazehaya. When people are blinded with love, no matter how nice they are, they can have bad temper.

Kento grabbed her arm and pulled her outside the store, saying.

"Let's go before Kazehaya arrives!"

"Wa-wait! Why?" Sawako asked worriedly. "He told me to stay put!"

She was helplessly dragged by strong Kento outside the store even if she protested.

Now they were walking on the street while Sawako tried to shake his hands off but to no avail. Sawako's tears welled up again.

"He might hurt you...Sawako. Sadly... sometimes, in relationships..."

"He'll never hurt me! He won't!" Sawako defended. Kento was still holding her hand tight.

"Sometimes... in relationships... the man becomes really possessive and they tend to-"

Suddenly, an angry shout from behind was heard.

"Kento! Kuronuma, why are you outside? I told you not to leave!" Kazehaya grabbed Sawako's arm roughly and angrily pushed Kento away.

Sawako whimpered slightly due to his very strong grip. She had tears in her questioning eyes while looking at Kazehaya. Kazehaya gasped at the sight and loosened his grip. "I'm sorry, Kuro-"

PUNCH!

"You bastard, you hurt Sawako-chan!" Kento Miura screamed after giving him a hard punch on the face.

Seeing all this, Sawako burst into tears.

"Don't fight! Please..." She whispered while going in the middle of the two teens.

Kazehaya didn't do anything... His eyes showed concern and utmost regret. He held his bleeding jaw and looked apologetically at Kento. Kento was surprised that Kazehaya didn't even fight back. He was examining his actions suspiciously.

"I'm sorry, Kento... I'm sorry, Kuronuma..." Kazehaya whispered while having slight tears in his eyes.

"What's up with you, Kazehaya?" Kento asked crossly. "I just found Sawako inside the shop crying nonstop! Why did you make her cry like that?"

Kazehaya sighed and embraced Sawako who was already crying badly.

"I was worried. I was so worried that I became really angry and lost control..." Kazehaya started to say.

Kento and Sawako just listened carefully.

"Didn't you guys see the news?" Kazehaya narrated anxiously. "There's a serial rapist and killer who escaped jail. He's now lurking somewhere in Tokyo! His target is always young girls who are alone..." His voice trailed off when Sawako held his shirt tightly while shivering.

Sawako cried even more after hearing what Kazehaya said. Kento and Kazehaya felt so bad for her that they themselves felt their eyes sting. Kazehaya rubbed her back while hushing her.

"You'll be safe... I'll make sure of it..." Kazehaya whispered tenderly while lightly kissing her forehead.

"I didn't know that..." Kento said worriedly. "That really does sound dangerous. No wonder you were so high tempered... I thought you were jealous..."

"What?" Kazehaya explained. "You know, no matter how jealous I am... or how upset, I will never EVER hurt Kuronuma..."

Hearing this, Sawako smiled a bit amidst her tears.

"We'll protect Sawako together, then." Kento said with a big smile while raising his palm.

"Yeah, thanks." Kazehaya said with a grin while giving him a high-five.

"Hey... sorry for punching you back there." Kento said humbly.

"Nah, it's ok. I needed it. I really acted like a bastard then." Kazehaya chuckled while rubbing his bruised jaw. "You knocked some sense into me. Besides, I know you care a lot about Kuronuma..."

"I'm glad you guys made up!" Sawako said cheerfully while wiping her tears. "Does it hurt, Kazehaya-kun?" Sawako asked softly, full of concern.

That caused Kazehaya to blush. "I'm fine..." He said while turning redder.

Kento couldn't help but laugh.

And so, together, Kazehaya and Kento walked Sawako home to make sure of her safety.

By the time Sawako got home, her parents already heard about the threatening news. They were very happy that the two boys vowed to protect her. They advised Sawako to go straight home after school, preferably, together with Kazehaya or her other friends.

The next day in school, Sawako, Shota, Ayane, Chizu, Ryuu and the rest of the class were all worried about the serial killer on the loose. They decided to stick together whenever possible because the madman was after girls who didn't have any companion.

While Sawako and the rest were walking home, little did they notice that there was a man watching their every move.
