A/N. So I just read the new chapter and I seriously want to kill Ondera lil sister Haru she is annoying as and Marika too, but it Yui-nee that I really hate right now. The bitch won't tell him what happened and in my opinion she's his teacher and I just don't like her. I mean she came in at the perfect time for Chitoge and Raku and is just a major tramp about the fact that she thinks she's so hot. I HATE HER! And for any people that do like the intrusive women I'm sorry but my opinion an't changing. Rant done on with the story and thank you to all the people that have read and like my story-stories.
Peeking over the rim of her cup; Chitoge stared at her friend. She wasn't sure if he was coping or a Mila second away from screaming and leaping through the window beside them? That was the question and it seemed a very difficult one to answer with his calm features and surveying eyes cast outside; searching the world beyond this, through the very same window she had imagined him bursting through.
And it seemed silly to even think there might be something wrong. That is unless you knew. Any passer by-er would think nothing on his emotional state; he looked as I'd thought before 'calm'.
But Chitoge knew that not everything was how it seemed; especially when it came to Raku. She had never suspected that Raku could toss a man like he could, or any other number of things that he had done.
Taking a sip of her tea Chitoge recalled how he had found her in the darkness and held her, comforted her when she couldn't even move. Raku was brave, yes at times foolishly so, but that made him the type of man he was. One to stand up for those who could and couldn't alike, no matter your stature even if he was afraid and risking his own hide he'd never acknowledge it. Staring at him again she could see a small smile forming over his lips. Not a grin but a minimal twerking of the left side of his lips as he stared out the window.
"This may seem a bit out of place, but it just caught my attention,"
Surprised by the interruption in their silence filled meal Chitoge put down her cup and saucer, giving him her full attention. "I just noticed it really. This even though silent has to be the most companionable silence that we've shared."
Smiling at the odd thought Chitoge to realized it. Her smile growing she said, "well it does help when we're not being interrupted ever few minuets or so." A giggle escaped her at the end, laughing at some of the near misses along their long fake love affair. "Do remember when Claude jumped out of that bush outside the cinema and attacked you because our hands touched in the popcorn box, haha he took out his gun and started waving it in the air." It was certainly memorable Chitoge thought.
Looking at Raku she could tell it was a memorable event for him too- well he did get shot at but that's a daily thing for them, you cant expect the heirs of two well known gangs to have their days go smoothly. –it really only phases you the first ten-fifteen times.
"Yea I try not to keep detailed track of all the times your men have shot at me. I'd need a mother brain just to hold a typical date night with you." He responded a puff of air rushing out as he spoke the aspiration filled worlds.
"Hey it's not my fault I happen to have an obscenely over protective father, and though mother seems laid back she's the worst gossip ever. "Chitoge said straightening up and leaning on the table some. "After Christmas that year, when she came back she kept asking me questions about….th-that night and then she gave me this book about…stuff and, oh god it tormented me I didn't want to now that kind of stuff!" Chitoge rushed out, steam coming off of her.
Not being able to help himself at the opening she had just given him. Raku smiles, small laughs escaping him as he says, "A little to Graphic for your tastes?" the good humor in his voice intensifying.
Heading even further down strawberry lane the now red faced girl sunk in her chair, embarrassed by the ill disguised dirty joke that had come barreling out of her generally clean mouthed friend.
Hiding her face in her hands Chitoge murmured something from behind them, not hearing them Raku moved closer and put his hand up to his ear trying to hear better.
"When did you turn into such a potty mouth?" it was true he never make crud jokes or other things like them in front of the girls or in school, but he did grow up in a house full of Yukuza. It was bound to happen. And so he replied, "I've always had this type of humor running through the house so, yea I just picked it up over the years.'
"But this is the first time I've ever heard you make one?"
"That's because its bad manors to speak so in front of a lady." He said sitting at his full height in the chair opposite her, a comical air of the chivalrous knight taking over the boys own. Seconds passed and Raku remained in his knightly stance that was until they both cracked into laughing fits. Both holding their stomachs as they laughed good-naturedly, slowly they settled and as they did; took up their teacups again. Smiling the pair continued on in amicable silence for the rest of the afternoon.
Finally leaving Kohi no kami the pair turned around to see she at the door with a small white box nestled in his arms.
"Thanks for today Shu, and tell your mum that next time I'm around I'll come back and give her a hand." Raku smiled at Shu as he hugged him (man hug people) returning the favor she handed over the box. On closer inspection it had plastic windows shaped as feathers; decorating the sides and top of the parcel. It was a beautiful box. "Their cream horns. Mum remembered how much Ryuu liked them and decided to make a batch for you to take home." He said in explanation.
"Hey I'll see you tomorrow Shu, I'll come over in the morning you shouldn't be working then." Saying their farewells they departed the building walking up the street with the package for Ryuu held in Chitoges arms.
"Do you want to just walk for awhile?" Raku asked, he didn't really feel like getting in the car and speeding their way back to the source of his problems.
"Sure" she said just looking out at the cold night filled with all the light and grandeur of this part of town, the trees had lights running alone their branches, the fairy like luminance giving off a magical feel to the environment. "It's to pretty a night be sitting in a car and watching it whizz by."
Leaving it at that the two kept to their walk, following the streets, they were two blocks away when Claude found them. He looks in a foul mood but one look from his mistress and he disappeared again; shortly after that the car from earlier that day pulled up beside them, not fighting it they stepped into the car.
Pulling up to his front gates Raku and Chitoge walked inside. The entirety of both their 'families' where positioned just inside the gates, standing on either side of the path bowing as they passed them.
Gathering his courage Raku squared his shoulders for what was to come.
"Ryuu," he called, said man appeared before Raku bowing on his knees before ascending to his height and faces is new master. "Call for Yukino-san to come to my fathers office, I will be waiting for him there." Raku said his voice strong and direct, no shaking or shivering to betray his image of a strong leader. Because, that is who he must be. Striding forward into the house Raku and Chitoge disappeared from sight and as they did the assembled beehive and Shuuei group member relaxed. This was going to be a great change to how thing had been happening, the brat would become the next head of the Shuuei group and Chitoge had shown a no tolerance policy toward beating on the young boy in shape or fashion. Beehive now knew that their young Mistress cared for the Ichijou without a doubt. And things where about to change there would be no stopping them.
In the halls of the Shuuei house Chitoge followed after Raku, reaching the door to his father's study and office Raku stopped.
"You cant come in with me Chitoge." He told her his eyes boring into hers.
"I said I would not leave your side." She reiterated, she could play this game all night she already knew she would win. With this in mind Chitoge narrowed her eyes at Raku.
He wouldn't win and even he knew that. Raku stood his ground for a minuet to give the game some sport. "You can not come in with me but you have my leave to do anything you want after that. Is that fine with you, miss terminally attached?" he said his hands flying about erratically as he spoke.
"Fine then I'm staying here tonight." She said raising her brows at him, giving him a look smug satisfaction.
"Ryuu make up a room for Chitoge please."
"I win beansprout." Chitoges let a cheeky smile spread across her face. Turning around she followed to Ryuu to her room.
"That's quite the handful you've go there." Yukino said seating himself on the cushion behind Raku's fathers' desk, it was a Japanese style working desk, close to the floor and made of a dark wood. Papers were stills scattered across it's surface, their was so much unfinished work that permeated the room in its crushing presence.
"You have no idea." He replied taking his father seat reluctantly. Motioning him to continue where they had left off Yukino pulled forth a briefcase. Opening it Yukino pushed some of the papers away, placing this new stack in the space he'd created.
Getting into his character Howard Yukino straightened his collar pulling his jacket down and breathed out his last breath as a human being. The next he took was as a lawyer.
"Ichijou-san. According to your clans law the house and all assets of the family will be put into the holding of your fathers associate 'Ryuu Mikowa' until you turn eighteen. As for the position within your syndicate it falls to the heir immediately after death, you are now Head of the Shuuei group."
