Chapter II
They decided to go home. They were nearing the park's gate and he knows he can t see her in front of the hotel. He absent mindedly told her.
"After a month, when this tournament ends I just wonder..." he stared at his girlfriend s eyes. "I-I will be here while you will go back to your country Cassie."
"Hey, why so serious?" The two turned white at the voice. Nigel was looking furious at the two.
They all rode a cab. Nigel has this statement to them that greatly puzzled both.
"We all five are going to discuss something very important. Raphael will not be pleased but I guess he is old enough to take this like a man." His last sentence was shadowed with his own doubts though. What the hell his nephew will be outraged. He spent his childhood with Cassie. "Yagami..." he dared not look back when Iori looked at the mirror toward Nigel. "I hope you are prepared to fight. I do not think I will want to interfere if Raphael decides to kick your ass!"
That earned a protest from Cassie.
"What the hell is he doing here?" Raphael wants to know. His own rival was standing inside of their hotel room which greatly angered and annoyed him. Iori was just looking grim at Raphael.
"Time to sacrifice a mortal, Raf if you know what I mean!" Cassie s brow furrowed putting a protective hand on Iori s chest. Her godfather might be joking but she did not liked it one bit. Iori's eyes just grew and he sweated heavily.
"Oh... s-so you found them," Maria joined the group at the living room.
"Yes I did, Maria." Nigel's tone was angry "Oh, minding my manners why don't you have a seat, guest? Raphael I know how you feel for this guy I would rather you keep your distance. Hmm, decide what you want to do after with him."
"Nigel, that wasn't very nice!" Maria intervened.
Iori reluctantly sat as he heard Nigel answer Maria.
"You can tell them now Maria of what you had told me, no wonder you did not interfered with your daughter's chosen... lover." He almost spat the last word. He is clearly not favoring Iori for Cassandra.
