Chapter IV

"Iori look after her, okay?" Maria fetched water for her daughter.

Iori led Cassie to the sofa and tried to calm her. Both sat on the sofa. Iori kissed Cassie s head gently. He murmured to her that everything will be alright. Cassandra looked at him and he felt crushed seeing the bitterness on those brown eyes. He was not prepared to what Cassie exclaimed.

"T-Take me with you, please Iori!"

"C-Cassie..." a lump went to his throat. Isn't this what he wanted a few hours ago? And now she is offering herself to him.

"I do not care about that dumb promise love please." She pleaded again holding Iori's face between her hands.

"C-Cassie," he decided he can't that Maria will join them soon. "...get angry with me but I can't. Love you're upset it is stupid to make hasty decisions." He told her calmly. Cassie did not grew angry at him though but he found her face crumple and she buried her head on his chest anew.

Maria came with a glass in her hand and offered it to Cassie but she ignored her mother. Iori took the glass from her and made Cassandra drink the whole glass. He took the empty glass and asked,

"Do you want another one?"

"No..." somehow she was composed then added, "I want you to stay here Iori." Maria and Iori's eyes grew in surprise. "If-If you will not let me be with you tonight t-then I want you to stay here!"

"Cass..." he was about to say that Vice and Mature will sweep the town just looking for him. That if they find out he was here they will not have second thoughts of wreaking havoc, that he wants to keep her safe from them and he d rather die than see her hurt. Maria though spoke up stopping him,

"Yes you may stay here, Iori." Cassandra now was the one who was surprised but then felt happy she can't help but smile.

"M-Maria.. You... You're certain?" Iori blushed, this arrangement is alright with her?

"Do not get further ideas. Cassandra you are just sixteen. I will be watching for both of you." Maria sighed trying to stay calm. Then continued,"Iori stay here for dinner. I'll cook something for you t-then..." She bit her lip. "Prepare for bed, but never dare compromise my trust Iori."

Iori felt Cassandra's eyes looking at him. He gave her a quick smile then promised Maria. "I sure won't, thank you for trusting me, Maria."
