Our dinner was pretty much peaceful. We didn't really talk about anything as we ate and while we were waiting for the next plate. After the dessert and one final drink of water, Shuuya called the waitress and requested for our bill. She left right after he asked for it and it looked like it's going to take a while.

"So, you haven't… answered yet… You did hear what I said, right?"

Shuuya was looking at me expectantly. He was waiting for an answer. What should I say to him? Should I tell him how I feel? I'm getting nervous. His playful hand was on massaging my hand. He was playing with my fingers and I'm letting him do so. Have I changed this much? Changed so much that Shuuya's antics aren't bothering me too much? Or is it that getting a taste of real life changed how I viewed everything around me? I don't know the answer to that question.

"Tsubomi. Do I have to repeat it? I love you. I love you very, very, very much."

He repeated his confession and I just remained silent. I just don't know what to say. He was still playing with my hand as I tried to say something. I was about to tell him that I love him when the door to the restaurant was forcibly opened by someone. We both turned to look at the figure who entered and I almost wet my skirt. It was Mikoto Hizashi in the flesh. I held on Shuuya's hand tightly and he looked at my sweating face. He held my hand tightly as well and took on a stance to protect me. Mikoto scanned the whole area and when he laid eyes on me, he went to where we were and grabbed my hand.

"Let go of Tsubomi!"

I heard Shuuya shout and was about to punch him but a couple of men held him. He dragged me towards the door but a few of the restaurant's security created a wall to stop him. It was futile though, since he had men outside who soon killed the security staff.

"Let Tsubomi go, you arse! TSUBOMI! TSUBOMI!"

I have never seen Shuuya so angry in my entire life. I was already in tears as he successfully dragged me out. I could still hear Shuuya shouting and when I tried to look at him, I saw him struggling with rage and I shouted his name at the top of my lungs. Many people saw what was happening and someone must have called the police already. He covered my mouth with a piece of cloth and I started to lose consciousness. Mikoto threw me inside a black car and ordered his driver to drive to my apartment. I completely lost consciousness and so I don't know what happened afterwards.

I woke up slowly and adjusted my eyes to the light. I realized that I'm home and I jolted up, surprised. I remember having dinner with Shuuya then Mikoto kidnapped me. Mikoto? Crap! I ran outside my bedroom and saw him sitting down on my couch, his legs crossed.

"Hello, Tsubomi. Who was that guy with you? You dare cheat on me? I'll make you regret that."

He stood up; putting down the glass of brandy he was drinking on the table. He walked towards me and I started to walk backwards. I fell on my bed, on my butt. He grabbed me and removed my blazer, then my polo shirt, then my skirt. I screamed for help but he covered my mouth with his right hand.

"I won't let you make any noise. Did you know I had to remain hidden until I could act? I tailed you every day, and now, you're going to be my property after this…"

He gave out a wicked laugh and removed his clothing, leaving only his underwear. He pinned me on the bed and did unspeakable things. He just touched certain parts of my body. He didn't ready his gun and shot me. He just made contact with my skin as I moaned. He left his spot and took something from the pocket of his pants. It was a knife. He slowly turned his head and I turned white. He approached me slowly and put the knife against my neck.

"Let's play a little game, Tsubomi. Marry me and I won't touch your blond friend."

Touch my blond friend? He's going to involve Shuuya? I won't let him! I pushed him but he was too strong for me. He slashed me on the face and it stung. He put on his clothes and left the room in a hurry. Before he closed the door, he warned me.

"I will kill your friend."

At that, he closed the door with a strong force. I took my phone immediately and called Shuuya. As I held my phone by tilting my head to my shoulder, I put on a shirt and a pair of shorts. I took my phone and put it on my other ear.

"He-hello?"

Shuuya was panting, judging by what I'm hearing, he must have freed himself from the thugs, or maybe they let them go. Anyway, I said that I was Tsubomi as I tried to catch my breath. I was still scared from what happened.

"Tsu—Tsubomi?! Wh-where are you? Are you okay? Are you-?"

Before he could finish his sentence, I told him to use his deceiving ability and disguise himself as someone. Any person would do as long as no one would recognize him.

"What? I thought you hate my deceiving ability?"

He is so annoying. Does he really have to ask questions now? I voiced out to him that he needed to do it to remain safe. I also said that I will mail him my address so that he could come to me.

"Alright. I'll do it. Wait for me, okay?"

I nodded and told him through the phone that I love him with a sniff.

"I love you too."

I hung up and quickly typed my address. After sending it, it put my phone down and sat on the floor. My tears were on the verge of falling down and I wasn't able to prevent my tears from falling. I covered my face with both my hands and just cried my heart out.

Awww DX Poor Tsubomi. That idiot! He made Shuuya angry! Anyway, Chapter 9 will be tomorrow. (it's 8:33pm here right now)
