Chapter Three: Saizo's Interference
Lucy Akashiya was hanging out with her sister Moka and her good friend Kurumu Kurono when they suddenly caught sight of Saizo Komiya walking towards them. Lucy's stomach sank as she saw him approaching, knowing that he was nothing but trouble. She had never trusted Saizo, and for good reason too; he had always been a smooth talker who would use his charm to manipulate anyone he crossed paths with.
"Hey there, ladies," Saizo said with a grin as he approached the trio. "What brings you all out here?"
Moka smiled at him politely, while Kurumu rolled her eyes. Lucy glared at him. "We're just hanging out," Moka replied.
Saizo's eyes darted over to Moka. "You know, Moka, I've been wanting to talk to you for a while now," he said, leaning in closer to her. "Maybe we could grab some coffee together sometime?"
Moka's smile faltered for a moment. "I don't know," she said hesitantly. "I'm kind of busy with schoolwork right now."
Just then, Saizo reached past Lucy and grabbed Moka's hand, pulling her towards him. Lucy was about to say something when Saizo shoved her out of the way, causing her to stumble and nearly fall to the ground.
"Watch it, Saizo!" Lucy shouted, pulling herself up to her feet.
Saizo just smirked at her before turning back to Moka. "Come on, Moka," he said, flashing her a charming smile. "Don't be shy. I promise we'll have a good time together."
Moka glanced over at Kurumu and Lucy before nodding reluctantly. "Okay, Saizo," she said. "We can grab coffee together. But just as friends, okay?"
Saizo nodded, but his eyes were twinkling with mischief. "Sure thing, Moka," he said smoothly. "Just as friends."
Lucy watched as Saizo led Moka away, his arm draped over her shoulders. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, seething with anger. How dare he treat her sister like that? She was about to storm off after them when Kurumu grabbed her by the arm.
"Lucy, don't," she said firmly. "You know how Saizo is. He's not worth it."
Lucy glared at Kurumu, then let out a frustrated sigh. "You're right," she said. "I just can't stand to see my sister being used like that."
As they walked away from the scene, Lucy couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She knew that Saizo was up to something, and she had to find out what it was before he caused any more trouble.
