Leo's Point of view

I came to my senses when I was Yuiko beneath me. She had a pained expression and I took a while before I noticed why. I could feel the tears staining my face and I let go of her arm in my mouth. I leaned in to her and rested my head at her shoulder. She started stoking my back and I heard she called me a good boy and said that she loved me. How could she love me with everything she had seen? The beast had taken control again. And I had not been able to stop it. That is when Toki came in and I knew she was safe. And everything went dark.

When I woke up I was at the hospital. Yuiko was sitting in a chair and her arm had a casket and a bandage. i became sad remembering that I was the one who did that to her. I stroked her hair and she woke up. She looked at me with sleepy eyes and then they went wide open. The next thing I knew she hanged from my neck crying. I put my arms around her and we just stayed like that. A nurse walked in, nut as soon as she saw us she walked out again. Yuiko had fallen asleep on top of me and I smiled down at her lovely face. She didn't have a cut on the neck so the woman didn't actually cut her and the red cheek was normal pinkish from her crying now. The only thing wrong was all the damage I had caused. The nurse came in again. This time with my father, Toki and my Father in law to be. The reality struck me. I was never going to marry Yuiko. It was too dangerous and how would her father ever give his daughter to a guy who let her get kidnapped. Twice. I opened my mouth but I was cut off by yuiko's father. He said: "I know what you are going to say. You cannot marry Yuiko. It is too dangerous for her to be around you. And I agree. But I promised Yuiko that she could marry you. I promised earlier and I promised her again yesterday, then she begged on the floor in here. Saying that she knew of this beast inside of you and that she was the only one who could stop you. That she loved you more than anything and that she would do anything to be with you." He had started crying. Two mall tears went down his face. He smiled at me and said. "And don't you dare run from your responsibilities. Don't you dare leave her when she will never be able to love another. And you know you love her too, with all your heart." I could not answer. I could barely see my father in law to me and I just nodded and cried like a little baby waking Yuiko from her sleep. She smiled at me and hugged me close and we cried together while embracing each other.

I was in the hospital for two days. But on the second day Yuiko pulled me to the other end of the large hospital. She led me to a part I have never been before and we stopped outside a door with a window in it. She whispered "I want to show you something" and she looked through the glass and so did I. what I saw made me angry but then I was sad and then I smiled. What I saw was the woman that had held a knife to Yuiko's neck and the big husband of her. They were sitting on two small chairs beside a big bed. They smiled but their eyes where sad. I looked at the bed and saw a little girl. She was white as a sheet and she was shaking. She was sitting in the bed drawing. I could smell her. She smelled like medicine, sadness and sickness. But she also smelled like a living being losing the battle of life. It took a while but it struck me then. I looked at Yuiko with big eyes. And she nodded and started to speak: "the woman is your mother's cousin. She and her daughter was a candidate for the inherited money.

The big guy is her husband. And the little girl is their daughter." She looked at the little girl and a glint of sadness took over Yuiko's eyes. "They kidnaped you to pay for her treatment? What's wrong with her? I asked. She nodded and said: "they kidnapped me because they were too afraid to ask for your help. And she is sick with cancer, she has been sick for almost four years now." I was shocked. The girl only looked like she was about tree years old, four at most. "How old I she?" I asked. "7" she said and a single tear fell from her eye. She turned towards me. "Please Leo. Help her." She asked and bowed down a little. "Yuiko, please don't bow to me. No stand up. They kidnapped you, she beat you and held a knife to your neck, and you want me to help them?" I said a little louder and a little angrier than I wanted to. The pair opened the door and was now looking at us with big eyes. She stood her ground and looked me straight in the eye and said a single word. "YES" she said loud and clear.

I looked at her a long time to see if she wavered but she was determined. "O.K." I said and turned towards the couple. "I will pay for the treatment of your daughter" I said and the pair smiled at let out a breath they had been holding. "But" I said after the pause and Yuiko and the couple looked at me with a hint of fear. "ONLY, if you promise never to kidnap or do anything to hurt Yuiko or any other person I hold dear, including myself and, you will have to pledge your alliance to me so that the rest of the family will not take advantage of you. You have to leave your home and stay at my estate in the US. The cancer treatment will continue for your daughter and she will be moved to the US together with you and have the best care in the world." He said and smiled at them. The woman cried and the man was also on the edge of tears. He bowed his head and said: "we are grateful for your mercy, and we pledge our lives to you. THANK YOU!" he said and a single teardrop landed on the floor.

When we got back to my room Toki was the only one to greet us. "The arrangements have been dealt with and we are ready to move out of your apartment Leo Sama." He said and continued. "Mr. Kenta Kubozuka have agreed that we are to move in with the Kubozuka family and prepare for your wedding." Yuiko and I looked at Toki and then turn towards each other and she screamed in joy and jumped in my arms. We celebrated a little by me swinging her around careful not to hurt her and the casket.
