8/1. Sunday

Time. Mid Evening.

Two weeks had passed since the whole Volleyball Rally

During that time, Sadayo's work had increased a bit frequently, so she wasn't able to regularly stop by and visit. Only way they were able to spend some time together was through him calling her up for maid services.

So, when she did get a break, the teacher/secret maid in disguise stopped by his place where they could enjoy an early dinner. They did just that and spiced things up afterwards going straight up stairs.

In Hikaru's bedroom we see the two basking in each other's warmth. The aftermath of an intense love session, both were exhausted recapturing their breaths. They hadn't done it in that long, so it was only natural that it was. Sadayo sighed in content as she leaned her head into his shoulder.

"I really needed that..."

"I could tell." Hikaru sighed, gently brushing her locks of hair. "Hopefully that'll be enough for tonight."

"Hmm, I don't know." She smirked. "I could go for another round."

Hikaru raised an eyebrow. "I know where you're going with this. But I don't think it's really a good idea."

"Oh, come on, you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure we have that assembled tomorrow, remember?"

Sadayo groaned as she sat up the top portion of her body now exposed. "You're right...Plus you do have the rest of the week off starting tomorrow."

"Do you even know what it's about?"

"Well, probably because of what happened to Suzui, that and that calling card that was posted on the billboard last week."

"Ah, yeah the one that was addressed to Kamoshida." Hikaru recalled.

On the 25th of Monday last month a calling Card addressed to Kamoshida was plastered all over the bulletin boards of the school itself. The older student recalled the very words that were written, for he had taken one for himself and managed to sneak it out of school avoiding possible confiscation. Written on the calling card he recalled exactly what was on there.

Sir Suguru Kamoshida, the utter bastard of lust. We know how shitty you are, and that you put your twisted desires on students that can't fight back. That's why we have decided to steal away those desires and make you confess your sins. This will be done tomorrow, so we hope you will be ready. From, the Phantom Thieves of Hearts

In the following day Kamoshida hadn't been seen at the school in almost eleven days. No one knew the reason why for his sudden disappearance, teachers have been talking about it and so were the students. It was the main topic of conversation.

People have also begun to question if the calling card had something to do with it. Until he appears everyone at the school will continue to debate on what's going on. But for some odd reason Hikaru really did think that Kamoshida was targeted by this group. After the many atrocities he committed, it's not hard to believe he's being punished.

"So, has there been anyone confirming if they found him yet?"

"No, he won't answer anyone's calls, a few even tried to go to his home. But he wasn't there either." Sadayo answered.

"That's a little odd." He admitted. "As nice as it is to not see him prowling. It's a little odd."

"I know and everyone is getting confused."

"Last thing we need is cops asking questions. One headache is enough." The writer breathed through his nose.

"I don't think that'll be an option though." Sadayo noted glancing out through the window. "After she wakes up, her family will ask her why she tried to take her life and depending on the result. It'll happen."

"Yeah... Poor girl."

On the side Hikaru's phone buzzed. Picking it up he sighed. "Ah, crap."

"Who is it?" The school teacher inquired, leaning up to look.

"It's my aunt. She wants to talk to me this Saturday."

"What for?"

"Don't know..." Hikaru shrugged in response and began to text back, waiting for a response till he got one. "She won't say, right now she's occupied with work."

He put the phone down and laid down sideways groaning. "Please just let it be something simple...Please don't dig into my business when I'm not ready... especially if it's something like this...God forbid my parents found out, or anyone else..."

"Hey." His girlfriend placed a gentle hand on his cheek, getting his attention. "Just relax for the time being ok? It'll happen eventually, we just...have to prepare for it, mentally. Hope for the best."

"Yeah I guess..." Hikaru checked his clock and saw the time. "I don't mean to ruin the mood. But, you should probably go while everyone is inside their homes. Don't want people be talking about what they don't need to know."

"Could I at least stay a little longer?" She plopped down on top of the manga artist. Hikaru moaned a bit, feeling the warmth and softness of her body. He sighed in defeat. "Alright, alright. You win."

Hearing this Sadayo smiled pecking the side of his cheek leaning into him getting herself comfortable. Now the two were cuddling in their birthday suites.

Both of them very much enjoyed the peaceful silence, unaware of what would happen tomorrow.

5/2/Monday Weather. Sunny.

After arriving in school, we see Hikaru standing amongst his fellow students in the gymnasium. The older student let out a yawn trying to reduce his sleep fatigue. Sadayo ended up spending the night, Hikaru ended up waking up really early. Enough so that he woke up Sadayo. Both rushed to get their clothes on and freshen up for the day. To help avoid suspicion, Hikaru exited the house first and let his lover know the coast was clear. Afterwards they both bolted for the train station. They each managed to arrive at the school.

Naturally she went in first while he squatted by the vending machines playing on his 3DS to help pass the time eating a snack as well. Naturally when the other students arrived the early morning assembly had started, and he wanted to get things over with.

He overheard other students talking.

"What's with the sudden morning assembly?" He heard one gaudy girl scoff. "I bet it's about that girl that jumped the other day."

"They don't have to tell us not to commit suicide." "There was that weird calling card too, so I guess the teachers are freaking out?"

"Huh, looks everyone else feels the same way." Hikaru noted feeling the vibe of everyone present.

Right then Principal Fatso himself emerged speaking onto the microphone. "Let's begin this school wide morning assembly." Everyone got quit as he spoke. "As you all know, a tragic event took place the other day."

"No shit..." Hikaru muttered underneath his breath.

"Thankfully, we have been informed that she has pulled through, but it will take time until she recovers. Everyone here has a bright future ahead. I implore that you rethink the importance of live and-"

Suddenly everyone heard a door open and close. They turned and were surprised to see that it was none other than Kamoshida who had his head down. Kobayakawa was naturally shocked to see the P.E Teacher finally appeared. "Mr Kamoshida, what's the-"

"I... have been reborn." He uttered. "That is why I will confess everything to you all." This genuinely confused the students, Hikaru included. Normally that SOB would be preaching to the quire. But his entire body language felt completely off. He watched as the older man walk up to the stage in shame.

"What the fuck?..." Hikaru mumbled.

Everyone watches in anticipation. Everyone muttered amongst themselves wondering what was going on. After a moment he began to speak. "I have repeatedly done things that...were becoming of a teacher. Verbally abusing students...physically abusing my team, and..." He paused before continuing. "sexually harassing female students...I am the reason Shio Suzui tried to kill herself!"

This certainly kicked up a hornet's nest. Everyone and there mother started talking, wanting to understand what the hell this deplorable man is ranting about. The older student himself glared at the man as his suspicions were proven correct. And now he had the nerve to come here and confess?

They all watched as he fell to his knees and tears were genuinely falling down his face as he continued. "I thought of this school as my own castle...There were even students that I sentenced to expulsion, simply because I didn't like them...I will, of course, rescind those..." He paused before continuing as Principal Kobayakawa watched on in shock in the background. "I am truly sorry for putting innocent youths through such horrible acts...I am an arrogant, shallow and shameful person. No, I'm worse than that..." His crying began to intensify planting his head into the wood of the stage. "I will take responsibility and kill myself for it!"

Now the hornet's nest just got a took an even bigger hit. Half of the students were shocked by the confession alone, even more so when stating that he's willing to off himself. The other half were either feeling satisfied or just plain outraged, justifiable as it may be, for this man deserved far worse than death.

Even some of the teachers were beginning to panic, Principal Kobayakawa being one of them as he rushed over to the moping gym teacher's side. "Mr Kamoshida! Please get off the stage for now!"

"Everyone return to your classes!" One of the other teachers called out.

"I-"

"Don't run you bastard!" A voice cried out as everyone turned to the source, it was Ann Takamaki.

Outta of everyone Hikaru has heard about, she was just as much angry as he is. No... Much more. "Shiho's still alive even after all the things that make her want to die! You have no right to run from this." She yelled at the pathetic teacher.

Out of all the things to see, Hikaru never expected Kamoshida to fess up, let alone to Takamaki. But here he is doing just that, leaning back up from the ground, acknowledging the blonde. "You're right..." He sobbed. "You're absolutely right..."

"Damn straight..." Hikaru muttered underneath his breath.

"I should be punished under the law and atone for my crimes. I did horrible things to Takamaki-san as well. In return for giving Suzui-san a position on the team... I-I tried to force her into having relations."

And now the nest is destroyed.

"As of today, I will resign from my position as an instructor and turn myself in." He then sobbed looking around frantically among the onlookers still watching. "Someone, please call the police!"

Having had enough Hikaru turned around and left with his hands in his pockets, a noticeable scowl on his face.

He always knew that... leech was contemptible. But after hearing all of that, he genuinely wished he didn't miss his head or even somewhere where he wouldn't touch again.

"Good fucking riddance..." Hikaru muttered underneath his breath.

Take Your Time...

After School.

In one of the empty rooms of the school we see Sadayo looking out the window with a troubled expression on her face. This was one of the few many secret spots that she and Hikaru meet from time to time. Now considering what happened, this was one of those.

The door opened; she turned around to see Hikaru walk in closing the door behind. "Hey..."

"Hi." She greeted her student, equally drained by the events that have unfolded.

"You ok?" He asked walking up over to her.

"Not really." She sighed. "I...just have a hard time wrapping my head around this..."

"Yeah..." Hikaru nodded his head, feeling the same way she did. "So, what's gonna happen? Aside from...him being taken away?"

"The police are going to start and question all of the staff without a doubt." Sadayo answered honestly, putting hand on her arm. "I can't imagine what Suzui's parents are feeling right now...But, at the same time...I know people will give me glares thinking I knew about this. The authorities will think I was somehow involved. Because that's how it looks right now...I can't believe I let this happen to them." She sighed, hanging her head low.

"Hey, hey, come here." Hikaru embraced her gently, putting a hand behind her head. "Come here, it's not your fault...You didn't know...No one really knew how deep this went...The ones that let this happen are responsible for this..."

"Still... Ever since I came here, I've barely did anything to help these kids. You push me to do that, but I still couldn't do anything." She vented.

"I know..." He let her go and cupped her face. "But all you can do right now is try harder. Just do what you can, be honest with them, they'll appreciate that much. Hell, do a freakin lie detector test or something, because dammit, you had nothing to do with that scumbag. You hear me, not him, not even principal fat ass."

She held her own hand up to his own, closing her eyes. "I really don't deserve to be with someone like you." The language teacher smiled softly.

"Feelings mutual..." Hikaru replied, sharing that same smile. "Sometimes..."

Sadayo hummed and he noticed this. "What?"

"You know Hikaru, I'm not trying to bring down the mood, but I think for right now we should take a break."

"From what?" The blue-eyed man asked.

"Well, us."

"Wait..." Hikaru was starting to grow a little fearful. "Please tell me we are not breaking up..."

Sadayo's eyes widened upon hearing this gasping in shock. "No-no-no. Nothing like that. I swear, it's just you do know what's in a week, right?"

"Mid-terms?" The older student guessed.

"Yeah, that." Sadayo nodded glad this was getting clarified. "Remember you're trying to finish up the remaining years you have left. Just because we're in a relationship, technically I'm still your teacher. So I do have to make sure you pass."

"Yeah, I get it." He nodded in understanding. "Maybe after the test, I could get you some dinner?" Hikaru offered.

"Hmm, tempting as that maybe. I'm going to say no." She replied, crossing out her arms with a smile.

"Not even until results?" The black haired twenty something, playfully whined.

"Yeah, until the results are in. Nothing, has to happen. You understand where I'm going at with this right? I have to answer questions from the police for a while, try to reduce attention to myself. That also includes my 'part time' job. If you do call me in I'll appreciate it, but nothing else to be expected from that."

"So basically, no sex." Hikaru translated it to laymen terms. "Nor anything intimate, I got it, we both deal with what we have in front of us and then continue on as normal."

"But now we have to be even more careful." Sadayo warned her young lover. "If what happened earlier means anything, everyone will be on edge."

"I understand Sada." Hikaru reassured her. "I do."

"Good." She then gained a sly smirk and Hikaru noticed this as she leaned in. "Also, if you do very well in the mid-term exams a reward will be arranged in order."

The manga artist couldn't resist grinning ear to ear at the implication. "I'll be sure to give it everything I have."

He leaned in forward for a kiss, but much to his surprise she stopped him holding a finger up to his lips. "Also, sorry but none of that either. For the next three weeks, you'll have to wait for it."

She began to walk away. "You'll need that confidence, Hikaru. I'm counting on you~" Sadayo left the room swaying her hips and exited the room.

"Three weeks?" Hikaru groaned, rubbing his forehead. "Oh, man~." He groaned again, sitting by one of the chairs nearby. "I love her. But who knew she could be a real stinker."

---

"You know, sometimes when people complain about how everything's too hard. That's because they often ask 'what's in it for them?' Yeah, that's honestly a good good example is me wondering if it'll work out. If things will go exactly as planned. Because in the case of 'what's in it for me?' It's Sada. In the back of my brain, I can't help but sometimes wonder if this is just a phase and I move onto something else. All I can do is just work along with it, and just see what happens."

5/7/Saturday.

After School.

In the following days after Kamoshida's arrest, and while the students had three days off from Tuesday to Thursday, the whole entire school became part of one big scandal. The image and reputation of the prestigious school was tarnished by what had happened. In those following days, there were a few brave kids that stepped forward, a vast majority of them being a part of the Volleyball team, half of the male members and same for the female members. All of this was like something straight out of a crime fiction novel. Where a sick and hungry predator blended in and waited for the right moment to pounce on unexpected prey. The prey of course, being the students, as for the predator Kamoshida. But when the predator is wounded, the prey fights back.

Speaking of Kamoshida, word is that a court date was soon to be determined. Given all the evidence, and many confessions that the sick bastard admitted to doing, it's a safe bet that he was going away to prison for a long time. Hikaru didn't care one bit though, the bastard was getting exactly what was coming to him. He hopes he rots in prison and that some higher force would be the judge of when he finally rotted away.

Hikaru sighed as he exited the school stopping by the gate. But then he felt something cold against the back of his neck. He turned around and saw Sadayo holding a can of cold soda. "Here."

"What's this for?"

"Just a small way of saying good job so far." She passed it to him going into her 'acting'. "I assume you've been studying well, Toaka-san?"

"As well as I can..." Hikaru nodded, cracking open the can. He would then turn to look at the teacher. "How've you been holding up?"

"I appreciate your concern Taoka, but I'm ok." Sadayo smiled, happy to know he was thinking about her. "How's about yourself?"

"I've been better." The black haired man admitted. "Besides the tests there's another project I wanna do eventually."

"Well just don't let whatever you have in mind distract you too much." Sadayo advised.

"I'm not." He smirked. "I can be patient for that too you know." The student winked.

"Yoo-hoo! Hikaru!" A familiar voice called out and Hikaru froze recognizing who that voice belonged to.

"Oh shit..." He muttered underneath his breath.

Sadayo paled in realization. "She's here?!"

Hikaru slowly and nervously turned around to see his aunt Shirone over by the way of where everyone took the train. She was jumping and waving over to him. "Over here!"

"Yep..." Hikaru confirmed in a low voice adding more dismay to his secret lover.

"I guess that's my que...I'll see you later Miss Kawakami." Hikaru nodded to his teacher who played along.

"Uh...yes, you to Taoka-san."

Sadayo turned and walked out of the building as Hikaru awkwardly waved to his auntie.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were gonna meet me at home?"

"I was, but along the way, I figured I'd give you a ride instead of taking the train." Shirone replied back with a smile. "I also thought we'd grab something along the way and bring it back to eat. Up for it?"

"Yeah, I could eat." Hikaru admitted as they walked away going to where her car was parked.

"Great!" The woman in blue cheered.

Take your time…

We now cut to Hikaru's home where the aunt and nephew just finished eating what they picked up on the way.

The older student emitted a light burp. "Oh geez, that Ramen was so good...Really hit the spot."

"Oh yeah..." Shirone sighed in satisfaction.

"Nothing beats a good meal after a long day of work too." She added before burping and covered her mouth. "Oops, excuse me."

Hikaru snorted. "Who knew you had it in you." He teased.

"Oh hush up you." Shirone frowned.

"So how's work going for you? Must get some exciting moments in your acting career."

"Eh, not too much except for this one girl that came in recently." Shirone said bitterly.

"The new girl you told me about?" He clarified.

"You know how there are young aspiring actresses who think there the whole package with looks, and everything?"

Hikaru shook his head. "She's one of those kinds huh?"

"Yep, and she's been getting a lot of men on set to kiss her ass like those American bimbos." The actress frowned.

"Does she have anything fake?"

"If you mean by fake breasts and many other possible implants that could be coming, yes."

"Uck!" Hikaru gagged.

"But enough about me, what about you?" Shirone changed the subject and frowned a bit. "I heard on the news of what's been happening at your school."

"Yeah..." The former coma patient sagged in his seat. "One of my 'teachers' just got arrested." He air quoted.

"Yeah, I know. The P.E teacher. Sugiro Kamoshida. I can't believe that place housed a monster like that." Shirone frowned. "Especially to what he's done to those students, and that girl who tried to..." She didn't even finish.

"I knew Kamoshida was a piece of shit but didn't figure he'd be that low." Hikaru crossed out his arms. "Then again, it looks like those rumors turned out to be true."

"Still... I'm sorry you've had to sit through that."

"Don't be, at least the asshole is in jail." Hikaru pointed out. "Hope the accomplices get what's coming to them."

"I'm sure they will." Shirone assured her nephew. "Look how about we talk about something else."

"Yeah, sure." Hikaru agreed. "Let's do that."

"Who was that earlier?" The auntie inquired curiously. "Back by the entrance."

'Oh boy...' Hikaru was already not liking where this was going. "Oh that was just Ms. Kawakami."

"Oh, one of your teachers?"

"Yeah," He nodded. "Homeroom."

"Is she nice?"

"Oh yeah, really nice." Hikaru confirmed. "Prefer her over the other teachers who are well, kind of either not right in the head or well, grumpy." Grumpy was a much lighter word then he wanted to use to describe certain teachers that were in the school.

"That's cool." Shirone smiled. "It's hard to find teachers like that nowadays. So I'd say you've hit the jackpot."

"And what is that supposed to mean?" Hikaru questioned leaning forward trying to know what she was trying to insinuate. When in reality, he already knew.

"Oh, I don't know. She looks pretty and dependable. I'm sure any guy would be lucky enough to marry her." Shirone described, not really trying to insinuate anything... At least that's what she thinks.

"Yeah, well I'm sure anyone would." Hikaru nodded his head agreeing with her. "I wish her luck too."

"Mmhmm." The actress smirked. "Speaking of marriage,"

'And there she goes again.'

"Have you found anyone yet?"

"No." Hikaru replied in a dry tone, making a face. "You gonna stop?"

"Maybe I won't if you're done being so tense." Teased Shirone. "C'mon, you're young, you've got a good income and you're not bad looking yourself." She complimented the artist. "Any girl outside of Shujin would wanna go out with you!"

"Again, I'm not allowed to date anyone." Hikaru reminded her. "How many times do I gotta say it?"

"And I didn't say it had to be inside of school." She pointed out. "No need to be so uptight."

"I'm not being uptight."

"Yes you are."

"And I disagree."

"And I agree."

"Agree to disagree." Hikaru groaned as his eyes rolled back. "Can you just drop it? Geez, it's nice to know that my mom doesn't do the same thing to me. But yet you do it? Why? Why?" He questioned holding up his hand dramatically.

"Because you're my nephew and I love you." Shirone smiled, before taking on a more concerned look. "I'm just worried about you, Hikaru. I've heard stories about how kids shut themselves in. It's hard to go out there, I'm just worried you'll fall under that trap."

"I'm not shutting myself out Aunty. I'm just trying to get myself situated for the inevitability and the reality that I'm not a kid anymore. That's all."

Hikaru paused for a moment. "I mean, a few years ago I was, but now I'm not."

"Still, I wanna be there to support you. There's only so much you can do on your own." The actress told the artist.

Hikaru shook his head, sighing a bit. He was thankful that at least there were some people in his life that genuinely did care for his well-being much less showed it. Unlike his parents. "I know, and I appreciate it." He cleared his throat. "So, was this what you wanted to talk about? Tease me with the question if I'm gonna find a wife?"

"No, I actually wanted to tell you in person."

"Which is?" He motioned and urged her to just tell him what it was.

"Your sister is gonna be coming over and visiting you."

A record scratched from within his brain, until he recalled exactly what she just told Hikaru. "She is?"

"Hmhm."

"Oh, wow..." Hikaru wasn't expecting this. "I haven't seen Aria in a couple years, when did you hear this?"

"About two weeks ago."

"When is she gonna come?"

"She and her wife, Beverly are gonna be coming and staying here for about a couple weeks. Right around the third of June."

'Oh shit...' Hikaru cursed mentally.

"Something wrong, kiddo?" Shirone tilts her head worriedly.

'Yeah, there's something wrong here!' Hikaru mentally yelled. 'My sister who I hadn't seen in a couple of years is staying here with her wife, in the place I live where I call in Sadayo to help her make a living! Ruining other things in the process! Of course, there's something wrong!'

Hikaru cleared his throat. "Oh no, nothing. Nothing's wrong at all, I'm just surprised is all. Taking it all in."

"Uh huh..." She looks to the twenty-year-old, uncertain.

"Oh come on, what now?" Hikaru was starting to get a bit annoyed with his aunt. He loved her and all but even he had his limits.

"Look, I'll be there for you when you need me." Shirone told him. "But when you keep avoiding me like that, I start to worry."

"There's nothing to worry about at all aunty. If there was, I'd tell you." He said in a matter-of-fact tone. "You know that, I know that. What else is there?"

"Alright, I'll drop it." Shirone said much to Hikaru's relief. "So do you have anything you'd like to show me? Art work wise? Because if you do, I'd like to see it and the possible rumor that surrounds that manga you wrote years ago getting an anime adaptation."

"Children Among Monsters?" Shirone nodded at his question. "I might have something. But you didn't hear this from me, got it?"

"Lips sealed, sweety. You know me." Hikaru hummed at that answer and motioned her to follow.

---

"It's one thing that my folks rarely stop by, but hearing that Aria is coming over? At the place we grew up in? That really did take me by surprise. But now the problem is, next month, how am I gonna help Sada? It's not like I could just go to her place and call her up. I mean, I could, but that'd be risky. Me and Aria's relation to one another is 'ok' but at the same time it's 'rocky'. We never did see eye to eye on things, she was into fashion and I was into making what she calls 'kiddie comics'. scoff Yeah right. If a big wad of yen don't tell her to think otherwise, I ain't got no other idea how to explain it. I've met her wife Beverly, she's nice and a bit more open minded. But no less nice, I seriously question what she sees in a hot mess that my sister is."

(One year ago)

2/13/Friday.

Time: Mid Evening.

As of the moment we see Sadayo cooking in Hikaru's kitchen stirring the contents inside of a pot. Taking a small spoon nearby she tasted it. "Hmhm. There we go, all done."

She heard the sound of a door opening from upstairs, turning around she saw Hikaru emerge wearing a set of pajama bottoms and a short-sleeved shirt. All of which had cartoon mini chibi monsters. He also had a towel wrapped around his neck showing he'd just gotten out of the shower. She chuckled a bit, he noticed it and raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"Nice jammies." She teased.

"Oh." He looked down at his attire. "Too much?"

"No, you just look comfortable."

"Well if it's doing its job right, I don't care." Hikaru shrugged in response, drying off the rest of his hair. "Plus I wouldn't be talking about fashion advice. So what's on the menu?" He asked

"Just some soup. Chopped, chicken, onions, a few diced vegetables and added in a little shrimp. From your kitchen by the way."

"Cool." Hikaru sat by the table, laying the table between him and the chair he's sitting on.

She took a ladle and poured some of the contents into a small bowl with a smaller spoon. "Here you go."

"Thanks." He clapped his hands and bowed in respect. "Itadakimasu." He then grabbed his spoon and scoops up a bite. Immediately he was hit with an abundance of flavors. "Wow...This is good. You outdid yourself."

The secret maid giggled bashfully, rubbing the back of her head. "Well, I'm happy to hear that. Thank you."

"You know you can grab yourself a bowl too." Hikaru noted and she did just that.

"Usually, I don't eat with those that call me, I watch them eat and hope they like my cooking."

"Well, I do like your cooking. Can't it hurt to enjoy some yourself?" The artist pointed the spoon at Sadayo.

"True." She reached for it and began to eat.

"It's been a while since I ate with anyone else." Hikaru commented. "Normally, the only times I'd eat with other people is when members of my family come over to visit."

"Like who?"

"My aunt, a couple cousins, and my parents who come around every so often." HIkaru answered. "That's about it."

"Does no one else visit?"

"No, not really."

"So you're usually alone? No other friends?"

"Yeah, just me." Hikaru replied, slurping some more soup. "Geez, this thing is good."

"Good to know I'm good for something." Sadayo smiled.

She then noticed him wincing a bit trying to stretch out his right arm. "You, ok?"

"I think I pulled a muscle or something. I don't know..." He then began to rub his neck. "The first one is probably from the gym, the second, I think in my neck from working so much on my manga."

"Maybe I could help with that?" The homeroom teacher offered.

Hikaru glanced over and raised an eyebrow. "And how would you do that exactly?"

"I might know a thing or two, master." She winked. "C'mon, find a spot to lay down. I'll help you."

Hikaru blushed a bit, not expecting this. "Is this some kind of trick?"

"No." The teacher answered truthfully. "I've had a couple clients ask me to help them sometimes."

"And you're certified?"

"Do you want the aches to go away or do you want to talk about my profession?"

"Alright fine, but don't try anything." Hikaru finished his soup slurping it down and went up the stairs Sadayo followed in suit.

"Oh relax, Victoria trains their maids and it turns out I'm pretty good at it." Sadayo replied confidently.

"Uh-huh. We'll see." Hikaru entered his room and laid down onto the bed. "Alright, do what you will then. By the way world, if something happens, nice knowing you and she did it."

"Alright, hold still." Sadayo climbed up on his back and straddled him. Hikaru is already feeling the urge to call for an adult. But then he was hit with a very new sensation he never felt before. It was Sadayo firmly yet gently planting her hands onto his back. 'Hooooly shiiit...This is actually happening...' Each touch was well, relieving, it was like his body was taffy. 'Son of a bitch, she's strong!'

"You ok?"

Hikaru groaned in response as he was just laying there and enjoying it. "I'll take that as a yes." She beamed, slowly moving around his back as she moved up inch by inch. All of that brought shivers down the older student's skin. Never had he ever had any like this since the hospital.

"I take it that you're fine with the amount of force I'm using, master~?"

"Take it up a notch a little..." Hikaru requested.

"If that's what you want~." She grinned with her persona. Slowly, but surely the pressure racks up. He could feel his spine popping here and there and it doesn't hurt one bit. Reaching up to the shoulder blades meet.

Hikaru groaned some more, feeling it. "Dammit...right there...You got the spot..."

Right around the shoulders and up to the writer's neck did it feel ecstasy to the young man. But then he felt the bed shift.

"You did say your hands hurt too, right?" Sadayo tried to remember.

"Uh yeah, I did." Hikaru replied, wondering what she had in mind. "I mean I use them a lot. You've seen what I do."

"Well turn around and close your eyes, Master. Becky will give you the royal treatment!"

"Is that supposed to be a joke or literal?" Hikaru turned over.

"Just humor me!" The secret maid cringed.

"Ok, ok. Fine." Hikaru held out his hands. "By all means, 'Becky'. Just one first." The black haired man puts his left arm down.

"Alright, just relax." Hikaru flinched a little bit, feeling her hands grab his and started doing a motion with his fingertips. He had to admit, her hands were just soft. He was doing his best not to blush. 'The fuck do they teach at her workplace? This is like something a bunch of guys at school would want to be in right now.'

Then the brunette slides down to the young man's palm and in that moment the student could feel his toes curl up.

"Hikaru, your hands are really stiff..." Sadayo noted as she continued working.

"Yeah...I noticed..."

"Just relax... I'm only trying to help." The young woman told Hikaru soothingly.

"I am..." Hikaru replied as the feeling kept coming to him.

She then began to move onto his palm. 'Holy crap...I always thought she was just one of those mopy kinds of women, but now, I take that back...'

With each and every ounce of pressure around his right hand, the blue eyed man couldn't help but moan from the sensation. Something Sadayo caught on while she slid down to his wrist.

She smirked, continuing on. "What? You like it?"

"Kind of dumb...question is that?" Hikaru groaned as the maid in disguise kept up what she was doing.

Going further and further down his arm, the student twitched and groaned on this incredible sensation. 'This is way better than physical therapy.' he groaned in thought.

After that Sadayo moved on to the other hand. Just as pleasurable as the first time.

'Oh shit...I think I need to pay her extra on this one...' Hikaru said to himself mentally closing his eyes and just going along with it.

---

"That was officially, the first time I'd ever been touched by anyone else. Much less, someone of the opposite sex. I mean, sure you'd have random dreams here and there, but nothing really beats the real thing. While the hospital helped me get me back on my feet. They didn't necessarily focus on certain aches like Sadayo did. She always seems to know how to help on one side was just doing their job and while she seemed to be doing that. It genuinely did feel like she cared. I never really had much interest in pursuing relationships. I was always focused on what was in front of me, not to mention my hobbies. If she was that nice, and able to do all those things, why wouldn't she catch anyone's attention? They'd be really lucky to have someone like that."

2/18/Wednesday

Time: Evening

As of the moment we see Sadayo laying on the couch groaning a bit.

Then out of nowhere, Hikaru came in, plopping down on the floor right next to the couch.

He groaned as well, moving her head aside. Sadayo looked over to him. "What's with you?"

"I finally finished the chapters that have been giving me trouble for almost two months..." Hikaru replied, his face still on the floor not bothering to move. "On top of that, even jolted down some notes to help me study..."

"You're still young Hikaru, you shouldn't be feeling tired all the time..."

Hikaru lifted up his face for a moment. "To each their own." He said before letting it drop back down into the floor.

"Considering how long you've been doing this, I'm amazed you haven't collapsed during class."

"Believe me, I've had my moments when it almost did happen." Sadayo replied. "I'm just glad there's always coffee."

"Amen to that." The manga writer lazily raised his hand before dropping it back down.

"So, I take your pretty much finished with the cleaning and stuff?"

"Mmhmm." The homeroom teacher sighed in relief.

"So what happened today? On the side job?"

Sadayo groaned at that question. "I don't want to talk about it..." She turned over to stare up at the ceiling.

"Well, you obviously got something on your mind." Hikaru turned over as well to stare up at her. "Not like you got anything else better to do. Besides, you got like a whole hour before you leave."

"First I had to clean up a really nasty bathroom. Scrub the shower, tub and don't even get me started on the toilet. That person is a pig."

"Eww, that's gross."

"The second house was just as bad. This old lady had an oven, and inside it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years."

"Well, was she you know 'old-old?' The kind where they're not really there?"

"What?"

Hikaru gave a hint to what he was talking about. "The mall is open, but nobody is shopping. Or, the engine's running, but no one is behind the wheel."

"Ooooh, that. Kind of, but the job I came to do before here was worse. There was this old man, I think, honestly, he had Alzheimer's. There was one room full of dust, so thick you could write your name on the walls."

"Was he living there by himself?"

"No, he had someone that did come over to check in on them." Sadayo snorted a bit. "But, between you and me, whoever it is, does a terrible job at it."

"Ah sheesh, I'm sorry to hear that, Sada."

She turned over to him with a raised eyebrow. "Did you just give me a nickname?"

"Did I?" The tired student looked up to the brunette teacher.

"Yeah, you did."

"Ah, my bad. I just figured it'd help out the awkwardness a bit."

"No, it's fine...I don't mind." Sadayo shrugged in response.

"I honestly can't imagine being worked to the bone like that at all. I mean, sure I can help out, but I'd take doing manga and get dirty with the ink."

"That sounds more preferable." The secret maid nodded.

"I get that you're doing it to help your sister and all that, but c'mon don't you got like anything to help out with that?"

Now Sadayo was growing nervous and was a bit glad that he wasn't looking her way. "I...It's because I vowed to do everything I could to help her out."

"Well, she's really lucky to have you then." Hikaru noted.

Sadayo frowned, taking a moment to answer. "...Yeah."

She then felt something plop against her side. Reaching her hand to feel, it was an envelope.

Looking over to what was Hikaru's doing, she looked in to see her payment. Cracking open the letter she sees something unexpected. Something much more than ¥2,000.

"Uh...Hikaru?"

"Yeah?"

"How much is in here?"

"About, 7022500.00 Yen." (50,000 in US currency.)

"WHAT?!" She exclaimed in shock.

The teacher in disguise shot up from the couch counting what was in there to see if he was right or just messing with her.

And with how many bills were in that envelope, it's hard not to believe that.

"It's all there. More than enough to pay the bills and then some." He told her truthfully.

"I...I can't accept this."

"No, but you need more than I can."

"Wh-Where are you getting at with this?" Sadayo questioned unsure by this. "Are you like expecting something out of me?"

"No, I'm not. There's no catch, I'm not trying to anything." He glanced over to her but blushed a bit, turning his head away. "Also, could you step back a little?"

"What? why?" She looks down at the young man, puzzled. But upon looking at him and where the teacher was standing, Sadayo blushed as red as a tomato and jumped back onto the couch in embarrassment.

"Sorry! I-I didn't mean to do that!"

"Th-That's gonna take a while to unsee."

She hugged her knees, feeling like a complete and utter fool. Letting herself fall under that set up, over a stupid pile of money. Something she could use, but even then she couldn't believe it.

"W-Why are you giving this to me?" Sadayo questioned, still trying to wrap her head around this. "I'm...I'm just a sad excuse for a teacher who has to dress up as a maid..."

"Maybe...but you're also a nice person. One who I thought could just give a helping hand." Hikaru replied. "I mean sure I got money, but I don't mean I know what to do with all of it."

"Still you just can't give it all away willy-nilly." She pointed out. "You could use that to build your own foundation or something."

"And I already am." Hikaru pointed out. "Even now I still get a portion of the profits made for each copy of my manga being sold. Even right now as were talking."

"But..." She hesitantly tried to argue, running out of words to say.

Hikaru stood up and placed a hand on top of hers taking Sadayo by surprise. "It's alright, really. I want to."

"I'm supposed to help my students...not receive help from them." The maid said with a light smile. "I can't believe how where I am now..."

"Even sometimes teachers need help." Hikaru smiled. "Every now and then we all need a little help. Even if we don't ask or want it."

Clutching the envelope, Sadayo sighs, bowing her head in defeat. She was the one that was supposed to be supporting her students and yet this one man, still crazy to think about, is doing that way more than she ever could. "You really are a stubborn brat, you know that?"

The young adult snorted at the implication. "Says you and everyone who lived in this household."

Sadayo checked her watch. "My time is up." She gets up. "I got to go."

"Just remember what I said." Hikaru told the young woman. "If you need any help, I'm more than happy to lend an ear."

"Thank you." She proceeded to exit out of the door and when she did, Sadayo put her back against it. Instantly she was hit with a wave of emotions. Guilt, it showed with tears flowing down.

Even though she was thankful for his kindness and help, it was killing her on the inside to keep lying to him like this.

All that cash that he willingly gave to her, not knowing the real reason why was eating away at her. No matter how hard she tried, Sadayo Kawakami was afraid of what would happen if she told Hikaru Taoka the truth.

"I'm sorry..." She muttered underneath her breath and quickly fastened her pace wiping away a couple of tears in the process.

---

"Let's be real, no one would really do that often. Most of the time, they second themselves when doing do and will take advantage of kindness, even if you know it's for the best or not. They'll do whatever it takes to use that kindness you show them. But, even so, a part of me really felt bad for her. I know it's probably my hormones or whatever that clouded my judgment that time. I didn't honestly regret it, now if my parents or relatives found out, they'd blow a fuse. One part of me was hopeful that some amount of trust would be gained by doing that and finally open up about what's going on."

5/9/Monday Pollen Warning

Time: Lunch Time

Currently we see Hikaru frowning in annoyance, the reason being because he hasn't been able to find a single spot to sit down and eat. Everyone either shoved him off, or wouldn't let him. He didn't want to cause any trouble, but now, he was getting real fed up.

He wished he could eat with Sadayo, but because of their agreement and with what happened with Kamoshida a week ago. The heat was still on. So there was only one place left to go to. The back end of the school, by the vending machines. Sure there were probably some people there, but right now he didn't care. He just wanted to eat.

"C'mon, how hard is it to find a freakin spot to eat?" Hikaru muttered cursing underneath his breath. "Dammit." When he did arrive, it turned out there were some people there. They turned out to be none other than Amamayia, Sakamato and Takamaki. They all turned to see him there.

"Oh, umm... Sorry." He apologized. "I'm just..gonna go." Hikaru turned to leave but was stopped by Ren who spoke up.

"Taoka-san. Do you...want to eat with us?"

"I don't want to bother."

"No, it's fine by all means." Ryuji was about to say something but Anne smacked him on the shoulder telling him to shut up.

"Ok." Hikaru turned around and sat on the ground crossing his legs and opened up his lunch. "Thanks, I swear trying to find a place to eat here is such a hassle."

"How come?" The female among the group questioned.

"People, that's why." Hikaru replied as he dug into his lunch. "Either if they got something to say and speak up or just don't and be an ass about it. Up to them."

"Point right there." Ryuji admitted.

An awkward silence fell upon the group as they were eating. Trying to be nice, Ann spoke up. "So, Taoka-san you're in the same class as me and Ren right?"

"Yes I do, but you don't have to call me by my last name." Hikaru insisted. "And I already know you all are. Word goes by fast."

"Evidently it must..." Ren noted.

"So...out of curiosity..." Ryuji spoke up. "...did you get held back a couple of years because of well...messing around?"

"If by 'messing around', you mean being laid out in a coma?" He glared at the unnatural blonde. "Then yeah, you could go with that.

Ann turned and glared at Ryuji at disapproval. "Really?"

"Sorry." The ex-track runner bowed his head, in apology.

"Rumor mill knows how to talk and you guys definitely are one to talk."

"So, Ren." Hikaru used the transfer's first name. "Did that information or advice help you out in any way?"

The gray eyed transfer student nodded. "It did."

"Happy to hear that. So what's happening with you all?" He turned over to Anne. "How's your friend doing?"

"Oh...Shioh? She's alright, I go and visit her when I can. I go over to help out with her psychical therapies."

"That's good to know." Hikaru nodded, understandably. "Take it from me, it wasn't easy when they taught me how to walk again. You just keep on supporting her anyway you can. It'll get better, not now but overtime."

Ann nodded, approving of the older student's words. "I will."

"Hey..." Ryuji got Hikaru's attention. "I just remembered how you kicked that ball at the rally. That was really awesome."

"You don't fuck around with a soccer player. Especially one with a splitting headache." The senpai jokes.

"I thought so." Ryuji chuckled, gaining a smirk. "Didn't think that you ever played. How long did you go for?"

"Up till junior high."

"Don't do as much as I used to. But I know how to kick a ball when I want to."

"Right on." Ryuji said, nodding in approval. "So, got any family?"

"My parents, a couple of relatives living overseas, including my older sister while my aunt lives here. It's just me at home by myself most of the time."

"Sounds cool!" The punk grinned. "Havin' a place to yourself has gotta have its perks."

"Sometimes, but not always." Hikaru shook his head. "My folks always work, they travel and don't really stay in one place."

"Sounds rough." Ren commented.

"It is, but I'm fine with it."

"Are you sure?" Ann asked.

"Yeah." The blue eyed student nodded. "I'm not too worried about being on my own. Though my aunt does stop by from time to time when she's able to."

"When she's able to?" Ryuji raised an eyebrow.

"She's an actress." Hikaru replied, finishing his lunch. "So that's why she's hardly around because of her work."

"Wait!..." The bleach blonde teen looked at the older man in surprise. "Your aunt's an actress?"

"Uhh, yeah."

"Who is she?" Ann inquired.

"Shirone Kagura."

"Shirone Kagura!" Ryuji exclaimed.

Hikaru noticed how excited he'd just became. "Oh, are you a fan?"

"Are you kidding?" The delinquent beamed. "My mom's got a boat load of her movies, she's cool. I'm actually curious what she could do in other genres."

"Wow...I never took you to be into that." Ann wasn't expecting to hear this side of him. "But I've seen a handful of her movies too. She really does a good job at some of those criminal drama movies. Like that one movie Witchtime."

"She's had her moments." He admitted to Ann, before looking back at Ryuji. "And funny you'd say that. That's actually what she's trying to do."

"Really? What kind of movie is trying to get in?"

"Can't really say, or give to many details?" Hikaru shrugged in response. "You'll have to be patient and see."

"Aw man." He pouted.

"Yeah, yeah. I know, but I promised I would keep my mouth shut. If other people found out, she'd get into trouble."

"Good point." The brown eyed boy sighed in understanding, albeit with a bit of disappointment.

"But hey, if you like I can ask her to sign some stuff for ya if you want. Aunty is always more than happy to give autographs for her fans."

That brought the ex-runner's spirits back up. "Really?"

"Oh yeah." Hikaru nodded.

"Kick. Ass!" Ryuji hollard, pumping his fist in the air.

Ren smiled at his friends excited enthusiasm. "So, Hikaru? How are you feeling about the midterms?" Immediately hearing that all the energy Ryuji had deflated instantly.

"Really? What kind of movie is it trying to get in?"

"Can't really say, or give too

"Duuude...why'd you have to bring that up?" He looked over to the glasses wearing kid with a look of hurt and dramatic betrayal.

Ignoring the boisterous teen's disappointment, Hikaru answered his kouhai's question. "Don't know honestly. A little motivated, maybe."

"Motivated?" Ann raised an eyebrow at this question, surprised to hear this come out of another student. "Motivated, how?"

"Well, after this I have nothing to worry about for a while. Something to keep in mind by the way." The older student pointed to the group. "That and I've been meaning to get back to my writing.

"Writing? What writing?" Ren inquired as Hikaru put up two fingers holding them up like an X.

"Sorry, but I already spilled enough about my secrets." He stuck out a tongue. "That'd be enough for one day." The student with the record shrugged, understanding a thing or two about privacy.

"So anyone else, have any thoughts about that calling card that was posted on the bulletin boards?"

Ryuji grinned, ready to speak up but Ann pulled him by the ear before he could say anything.

Hikaru raised an eyebrow at this, a bit confused. "What? Are we supposed to not say anything about it? It did happen."

"It's just that it seems odd for it to appear and then suddenly Kamoshida disappears the next day." Ren answered for the group.

"Just as much as it is seeing him come back a blubbering mess." The lanky student added.

"Yeah I guess it's true. But I seem to remember, when those cards were posted, that guy was pissed." Hikaru recalled. "I mean, whoever did it, had to have a lot of dirt on him or something because there was no way the asshole suddenly felt guilty."

"Wait, you had your run-ins with Kamoshida?" Ryuji asked, getting a little bit more curious.

"Yep, I've had plenty of that. Each time I saw him, always gave this dirty look, almost as a way of telling me I don't belong here." Hikaru scoffed a bit. "Yeah, I already know I'm out of place. But what are you gonna do about it? Mark the end of the world? There's worse things to worry about."

"And you know what's funny? That dumb bastard actually almost tried to put me out, right as I was about to leave the gate."

"What?" Ryuji was surprised to hear this. "No kidding?"

"Oh yeah, true story." He nodded, matter of factly. "I told him I needed to take care of some things and he insisted that I stayed with him. Had me by the wrist too." The blue eyed student snorted a bit. "But I had the last laugh, people were out by the gate and they were watching what would happen."

"Nice!" Ryuji gave a thumbs up. "Oh man, I wish I saw that!"

"I'm sure you'd get a kick out of it." Hikaru smirked at the bleach blonde.

They both exchanged a high five afterwards. "Haha! Yeah, you know what, you're actually ok."

"This coming from a fake blonde, I'll take that compliment."

"Hey! I'll have you know that I like this look." The punk points to his doo.

"Who told you it looked good? The mirror? Or yourself talking in the mirror?"

"Don't make me take that back." He warned his senpai.

"Eh, I'll take it as it is." Hikaru held back a chuckle. "Wouldn't be the first time either." Ann and Ren couldn't help but laugh at this little exchange the two were having and Hikaru could've sworn he heard a 'meow' but shrugged it off.

"Plus, maybe I'll take back that offer of having my aunt show her love to her fans. You're not the only one with a loaded gun my friend."

"Please don't." Ryuji begged.

"Hmhm." Hikaru smirked. "That's what I thought."

Suddenly the bell rang signaling that lunch had just ended.

"We should probably get back to class. Don't wanna give Kawakami-sensei a headache." Hikaru sighs, standing back up to his feet.

"Hikaru?" The older student turned back over to Ren. "I know this seems out of the blue, but would you be interested in studying with us? Seeing that the Midterms are around the corner."

Contemplating for a moment. Besides the mellow drama waiting next month, he doesn't have much planned for midterms... Well maybe one thing, but that's gonna be a while. "I guess I've got some time to kill." He accepted.

"I mean, as long as the others are ok with that. Are you?"

"Yeah." Ryuji nodded.

"Sure." Ann smiled.

"Well ok then." Hikaru suddenly heard a meow. "Also is it just me or is there a cat nearby?"

"What cat?" Ren questioned.

"You all really don't hear one?"

"Not me." Ryuji held his hands up casually.

"Same." Ann added, getting a shrug from Hikaru.

"Ok. Just let me know when. See you in class." Hikaru walked off and when that happened Ryuji smacked the bag.

A hiss escaped the bag. "Shut up!" Ryuji whispered. "He could've spotted you."

---

"To be honest, I'm definitely sure Ren has a cat in his bag. I'm not that stupid. I know I heard meows coming from , it's kind of interesting to be honest, the transfer student being friends with the fallen from grace track student and the girl of many rumors, one of the stupid ones being she was Kamoshida's lover or some stupid crap like that. I never really believed it myself. Then again I'm 21 years old and I'm in a relationship with my homeroom teacher, who moonlights as a maid. So I'm definitely one to talk. I'm thankful that no rumors haven't started about us. Because that's the last thing we'd want. Because if they joke around about us sleeping together, well, you can pretty much guess what the after effect would be. As for my thoughts on who I'm gonna guess and assume are either new friends or people who I know, they seem to be ok. Reminds me of well, me because I know what it's like being an outcast."

---

5/20/Friday. Weather. Sunny.

Lunch Time

In the following days after getting invited to study with Ren's little group, Hikaru had started to gradually get to know them. Ren although who might be a calm and polite person actually had an alternate side to him. Almost like flipping over a coin.

In Ryuji's case, he seemed to be well, the typical troublemaker who actually is a good guy once you got to know him.

As for Ann Takamaki, he learned that she models as part time gig and her parents are fashion designers. Plus she also wanted to star in action movies. So she even wanted Hikaru to ask his aunt on tips on what she'd needed to do.

Overall, they're good folks. A little rough around the edges, but good company all the same.

But he swears he can hear a cat in Ren's bag.

He actually was glad to have accepted the offer and other people to talk to. But now today was very critical. Today was the day when the mid term results were posted, showing who would be on the top for today.

With how many people are lined up, it's understandable how important it is to a few of the students here. While Hikaru is confident he made it through, he's still a little worried.

While making his way to where the scores would be posted he saw Ren and jogged over to catch up. "Hey Ren! Wait up!"

"Hikaru-senpai." The gray eyed transfer student greeted.

"You going to see the results of the mid term?"

"Oh course I am. I've been busting my tail feathers studying and working on the thing. So I want to see how I did. How do you think you faired?"

"I don't know." He shrugged.

Up ahead they spotted a couple of students gathered around a bulletin board looking at the results.

"Oh, our grades are out. How'd you do?" "Damn...I'm dead..."

Both Hikaru and Ren walked forward. "Ok moment of truth..." Tracing his finger through the air, slowly and carefully examine each name looking for his. "C'mon...C'mon where are you..." The pressure was killing him and soon enough he found it. "Aha!" He pressed his finger at the very top. "Holy crap...dude...I got the top score."

"Congratulations." Ren smiled.

"You did pretty good yourself, you're right behind me. See?" Hikaru pointed to the second spot.

And true enough, he's right behind him in the top 5. The transfer student looked on, pleased with the results.

"Ann did ok, but...guess where Ryuuji is..." Hikaru traced his finger to a lower section of the mid term results. "Yeeeep."

Ren could only sigh, shaking his head. "I do feel sorry for him...but...he did do this to himself."

"Hey, it gives him an excuse to get himself a tutor." The young man smirked.

Hikaru shared that same smirk, chuckling a bit. "I better get going." As the older student walked he jumped up a little bit for some odd reason.

"You got somewhere to be?"

"Yep, talk later man. See you later."

"You too."

...Take your time...

After School

Right now we see Sadayo sitting with Hikaru in the student guidance office.

"I heard the news." She said. "You scored at the top right?"

"Oh yeah, I was just as surprised as you were."

"Congrats." The homeroom teacher smiled.

"So does that mean I earn it?"

"Hmm..." She placed a thumb and index between her chin, thinking. "I don't know~. I mean you did great for the exams. But I'm not sure it's appropriate to do this here again."

"No, of course not. We can save that tomorrow night." Hkaru replied back. "But, since we are talking, it's probably a good time to fill you in on something."

"And what's that?" Sadayo wondered.

"Remember when my aunt wanted to talk? Well, evidently my Sister is going to be coming over."

"Really? For how long?"

"Well, you're probably not going to like this..."

"Why?..."

"Because she and her wife are gonna be staying at my place for...two weeks. Starting on June 3rd." Hikaru said, rubbing the back of his neck, unsure of how she'd handle this new information.

"Oh..." Sadayo understood what this meant with relatives living at his home for a while, they couldn't continue on. By continuing on, she was referring to him calling her for services, none of the stuff they became accustomed to ever since there 'secret relationship' started.

"You ok?"

"Yeah...I'm alright."

"I...I could always spend the night over at your place and call you there?" Hikaru suggested trying to say something.

"No, that wouldn't work. My boss knows where I live, that'd just end up getting me fired. I'll just have to put in some more hours. I can do it."

Hikaru put a hand on her shoulder. "Sada, I know how you are, but you have limits. Shit, remember the last time you overworked yourself? Huh? Do you not remember?"

Sadayo flinched knowing what he was talking about. "It wasn't that bad Hikaru..."

"You ended up in the damn hospital." Her lover reminded her. "Of course, it was that bad, do you not remember how scared I was for you? Wondering if you were ok or not?"

She leaned forward and captured his lips placing her head against his. "I do remember. But I promise, that won't happen again. I swear."

"I love you. I just hate seeing you go through all of this on your own." Hikaru frowned. "Because dammit, you're supposed to rely on me as well."

"I know...But you still got to at least trust me."

Hikaru sighed as they retracted their heads as he meanwhile intertwined his hand with hers. He wasn't really sure what to say right now. "..."

"Hikaru..." Now Sadayo sighed. "Look, we can think of something ok? But, since your place will be off limits for a while. We can at least have dinner." She then leaned in forward. "I did say that you were going to get a reward." His lover pecked him on the tip of his nose. "I'll see you there tomorrow."

She left the room swaying her hips again and this seemed to improve Hikaru's mood, smiling a bit.

"I know that I worry about her and she worries about me, we both tell each other not to. But we still do anyway." He sighed leaning onto his hand. "But, I guess just take the good out of the bad I guess?"

---

"For those wondering what were talking about, evidently one day she was overworking herself so much that she collapsed on the job. Upon hearing this, I rushed over to the hospital. Was I relieved to know that she was ok? Yes, I was pissed off because she did that to herself, yes. All honesty, can you really blame me for not feeling that way? But then again, considering the circumstances of her situation. Maybe I'm pissed off at myself for not being able to help her out of it." Sigh "I really want to help...but...I don't know if I can. How could I talk to my aunt about the situation? But if she gets involved that means parents would too. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. I really hate that phrase."

5/21/Saturday

After School. Time. Evening

Right now, we see two watching a movie on the couch having a few snacks at the same time.

"While I might have to clean this up afterwards, but this is really nice." Sadayo noted.

"It is, isn't it?" Hikaru put an arm over her shoulder, and she leaned into him. "Too bad, we'll have to do what we can when my sister arrives and stays here." He said bitterly.

"We'll figure something out, Hikaru." The brunette reassured her boyfriend. "We just have to plan ahead and be extra careful."

"I know, but it's not just that I'm worried about..."

"Then what is it?" She looked at him, concerned.

"Look, me and my sister, we love each other and all, but we don't see eye to eye."

"Before she moved to America, we had a falling out. I wanted to write compelling stories, she wanted to be the talk in the fashion industry. We didn't really agree on each of our aspects."

"It's always been like that ever since we were younger, she kept always saying my hobby, making manga was a waste of time and I ought to get a better job. Like for example, 'fashion' or sitting on a stupid desk, now there's some real jobs." He rolled his eyes, scoffing a bit. "Even now she hasn't changed."

"I seriously don't understand why someone as nice as her wife could put up with that."

"What does your aunt say about this? Much less your parents?"

"My aunt backs me up and gets her off my back, they on the other hand agree with her." Hikaru frowned.

"Honestly they could go screw themselves. I'm making as much as them writing books than I am kissing some hack's ass."

"I mean, I'm sure they're just concerned with your future Hikaru."

"If they were concerned about it, they could at least try and understand me." The older student argued. "Not to mention they fully supported her, and even sent Aria to college. Tell me exactly what you see that's wrong in that picture?"

Sadayo frowned, knowing the answer.

"I've tried to meet their standard at one point. But after all that time laying in that bed, I stopped caring. They compared me to my sister and even after getting me into Shujin, they didn't even bother to write a text or call me. Nope, just drop some money and be off!" He vented

"I only have one life, I have the right to enjoy it and be happy just like everyone else. I might end up in a hole, but I'm not gonna lay down and stay in there."

Sadayo put a hand on his cheek and made him turn towards her. "Look, I understand that you and your sister don't 'get along' all the time. But, maybe this could be a good opportunity."

"To do what? Wrap a ribbon on a gift basket and expect things to be right as rain." Hikaru asked sarcastically.

"No, but maybe this could be a good chance to bury the hatchet."

"It's not just me, Sada, my sister is the problem. Once her mind is set on something, she'll go through hell just to prove she's right."

"Even if I did bury the hatchet, it won't be enough."

"I know, but you still got to try. Plus you said her wife Beverly is understanding, she can help out to." Sadayo stood up. "Look, Hikaru, you only have two years left, and when it's done we don't have to hide our relationship anymore. And if things somehow do go good...then...well..." She started to blush and he noticed this.

"What? Well what?"

"If...things work out...and somewhere around the line...there's the possibility of starting a family." She took out a few bangs from her face the blush still present on her face.

"Oh?..." Hikaru's brain had a bit of a hiccup at what was said. Then it clicked and his face is now just as red as she is. "Ohh... That's umm..." He chuckled nervously. "That's... Gonna be a while. I hope."

"Well...you're open to the idea...right?" The blush didn't go away. "I mean, it'd be nice to have some good relations with family."

"I-I mean, yeah." He nodded dumbly. "I don't mind the idea. It's just... A lot to think about, you know?

"No-No of course. I just wanted to know..." Sadayo clarified. "That's all."

"If we ever do get together... I mean for real, with marriage and everything. I wouldn't mind the idea of being a father."

She smiled upon hearing that. "You know what, never mind about that part. Forget I said that, you're right, it's still really too early to be thinking about stuff like that."

"Yeah." Hikaru leaned in and kissed her on the forehead. "But I'll keep an open mind on it until then."

"I'll keep that in mind." She then cleared her throat turning off the tv.

"Hey, what are you doing? The movies not done yet."

"Just head up stairs, I'll be out in ten minutes." She walked up the stairs and immediately he grew confused. A few minutes later the gears clicked and with a grin he rushed up to his room.

…Take Your Time :)…..

We see Hikaru in his bed wearing only a blue loose buttoned shirt and a pair of gray sleep shorts. Anxiously he waited both curious and excited. Because he busted his ass for three weeks, all though they have seen each other, through mainly him calling her up, they haven't been active in all of those times.

When Sadayo entered Hikaru's eyes stared in awe and shock. She was wearing, black and white lingerie, a corset with a single black ribbon, white leggings, and lastly a clear black translucent fabric scarf tied around her arms and neck line.

Knowing what she was wearing, Sadayo was blushing, diverting her eyes away from Hikaru. Never in her life did she think that she'd wear something like this.

"S-Stop staring already…" She said, snapping her lover out of it. "I have never worn anything like this before…"

"You haven't? Sada you look absolutely breathing…" Her blush increased much more putting both hands on her cheeks showing she was embarrassed. "But, I don't get it. Why go this far?"

"I-I'm just keeping my word….You did exactly what I asked you to do. Plus….I've been meaning to wear this for a while, but couldn't really find the time."

Hikaru got up from his bed, walked up to her and embraced his lover gently, capturing her lips. For a few good minutes, both of them remained like that before separating.

He then held one of her hands. "I appreciate you going the extra mile for me. I really do, Sada." Hikaru guided her over to the bed bringing her down and got on top.

Now all she was able to do was just lay back and give her reward to him.

The first thing he did was remove the upper part of her corset exposing her breasts. Sadayo's breathing increased as she watched her lover begin to gently caress her chest, the motions were so fluid and smooth, she was feeling every nerve of her body spark from pleasure.

Hikaru smirked seeing her reaction and planted his lips down onto the left beginning to suck on it earning a gasp from her as he used his other hand to put two fingers on her other nipple gently rubbing it.

This in turn made Sadayo moan out like crazy as he continued her 'message'. Hikaru stopped and planted his face between her breasts, licking in between, savoring whatever he could taste all while his right hand descended downwards to her sacred garden.

Sadayo once again gasped but covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming as Hikaru was rubbing the fabric covering her womanhood.

"Sada...you're so wet.." Hikaru noted feeling her juices deep through and captured her lips sharing what he found in between adding in some tongue as Sadayo moaned loudly, by god she was in bliss absolutely loving this, they hadn't even gotten to the main course and somehow he was driving her crazy.

The two broke apart and panting heavily, Sadayo finally spoke up. "Hi-Hikaru please...I can't wait anymore."

He smiled, caressing her cheek. "Alright then."

Hikaru proceeded to reach over the dresser for the rubbers. But as he was reaching Sadayo put a hand on his cheek. "No need..."

"What?" He was surprised to hear this. "B-But."

"For the last week I've been taking the pill and other medication as a precaution."

"Wait you mean…"

She nodded. "That's right….you don't need to worry about anything at all." This all meant multiple things, rolling through his head. No condom, no safety needed, and that meant raw. Raw sex.

"Sada come on you didn't need to go this far…."

She smiled, pecking his lips. "I know… But I wanted to Hikaru. I really did….for you." He returned the favor kissing her hard in response.

"God you're such a doll...and now I'm going to make sure you'll reach up to heaven ok?" He crawled backwards and proceeded to remove her underwear with Sadayo lifting up her legs so they may slip off. With nothing else standing in his way he leaned forward and gave one single long lick to her wetlands very slowly doing so to savor it like it was yogurt and Sadayo screamed out from the sheer feeling of pleasure.

"Stop teasing me already!"

"If you say so~" Hikaru has his answer received. Sadayo's body shook imminently as she felt him enter. This feeling itself was something she had felt for a long while. The last time they did it without the rubbers, oh god it felt like ages since they were connected like this. Both of their breathing became ragged and heavy basking in each other's warmth and presence after three long weeks of no 'interactions' with each other.

It couldn't be explained, but after that seemingly short yet almost long period, both of their bodies were craving for each other. Lusting for one another.

So, he started out very slowly into her from his position. Sadayo moaned as she leaned forward wrapping her arms around her lover's chest tightly embracing him as their lips captured one another even as Hikaru moved his hips. "Oh god...right there...Hikaru...Keep going...just like that...Yes~"

While he continued to move, Sadayo let go and started gripping the sheets. Her moans started to increase. As was Hikaru's rhythm. "Sada...I'm going to move more..." True to his word, Hikaru's thrusts started to go faster and harder. During the process he shoved his face into her bosom, taking both hands to bring her breasts up closer feeling the softness of her flesh.

Her legs were now on top of his knees while one of her hands was right behind his head while he was licking in between her breasts. By now Sadayo was a complete and utter mess, her mind was losing all track of thought as pleasure had taken over.

Hikaru once again increased his pace, bucking his hips back, harder and harder. Just as it seemed he was going to finish, out of nowhere he stopped. "Huh?" Naturally this was felt by Sadayo who looked up to Hikaru who was trying to catch his breath.

More confusion was added when he pulled out. "Wha? Hey what gives?" She questioned in confusion as he turned his lover on her sides

"Trust me." Carefully lifting off of her legs up he guided himself to her. "We've yet to do this...and I've been wanting to." He grunted a bit, being still a bit sensitive from the pounding he had given her earlier in that other position.

He resumed his work earlier, but started off slow.

Sadayo's moaning started to increase more in response. She was now feeling more from the angle she was in, because he was starting to get all the right spots.

"Oh...fuck...r-right there..." Her moaning was muffled as her head turned, getting captured by Hikaru'a lips. The exchange wasn't gentle, it was rough, as they both they and their bodies were smashing into each other in unison.

The lip contact broke as he started trailing his tongue on the side of her arms reaching to the end of her pit. Once there he blew on it earning shivers of pleasure from Sadayo and he felt her insides tighten around his rod. This indicated that she was starting to get close and so was he.

"Faster..." Sadayo begged between moaning and heavy breathing as he began to do so. "God...just like that...Fuck."

Hikaru grabbed one of her breasts and leaned over to suck on her other while bringing his fingers down her body getting it right above the entrance of her sacred garden rubbing it right there in circle motions. He was doing everything within his capabilities to increase her pleasure and satisfaction. From the look of her face and the moaning that seemed to grow more erratic from the thrusting she was receiving, it was working. Very well.

Hikaru didn't waste anymore time and began to quicken his pace. Soon after a few more hard and fast paced thrusts both homeroom teacher and her older student climaxed together at the exact same time.

She felt his essence enter inside while he felt hers tighten more, feeling lots of warmth from her as well. Each other's essences were at unison, both were panting heavily trying to catch their breaths.

Hikaru exited out, both of their essences oozed our from Sadayo before he laid back down wiping off the sweat that build up to his brow.

Sadayo leaned over to his side giving him a loving kiss. "Hikaru..."

"Huh?"

Without even time to react Sadayo stood up and grabbed Hikaru by his legs hovering right above him. "I want more~" She took the initiative and started to slam her hips down onto him. No foreplay, no nothing she just got straight to the point.

He didn't even get a chance to react or say anything, all he could do was lay there and continue to enjoy his 'reward'. Aside from the warmth she offered and others providing the source it was actually an unexpected and nice twist. At least to Hikaru's point of view, this must've been what some people called 'pent up frustration' or something he didn't know. But he didn't care, he wasn't going to argue at all. At this point Hikaru knew at this moment it was just them and there was no use fighting it.

While she continued to ride him, her moaning was starting to grow louder, and the more erotic Hikaru reached up and cupped her breasts moving them in circle motions. Her head leaned back, closing her eyes, continuing to moan while her hips kept going, this time moving around some more increasing both of each other's pleasure.

"H...Hikaru...this...this feels so good...fuck me more from bellow." He obliged and matched in synch with his love's movements. This in turn enticed some more action, spicing things up, bending her knees Sadayo raised herself up and started to swirl her hips in circle motions.

"D-Shit...Wh-Where'd you learn this from?" Hikaru groaned as he got his hands behind her, feeling both the softness and movements of her lower body.

"I-I...*erotic moaning* watched some videos. H-How is it?" Sadayo asked as she started to increase her movement and was very much enjoying the small message she was getting from Hikaru on her backseat.

"Baby...you can't even believe...what I'm feeling. Fuck...your just amazing..." Hikaru moaned as he guided his hands down from her end, rubbing his hands up her back and got to her breasts.

For a few more minutes the two continued in that position until Sadayo paused leaning down to capture his lips both exchanging loving smiles. One of her hands cupping his cheeks.

Standing up and turned around and gradually lowered herself down, bending her knees once again while grabbing his legs taking a reverse position.

She continued onward slamming herself down onto his shaft. Starting at a slow pace, Sadayo gradually got faster.

From Hikaru's point of view, while the lustful feelings of sex he was getting right now was nice. What increased the mood for him, was seeing the backside of the woman he's gotten to know and had a pleasure to know that she loved him and he loved her.

Not to mention the sight of seeing that nice ass and figure that he'd started to like since wayback when was bouncing up and down. Plus he was seeing himself enter inside of her sacred garden with each movement. He didn't know what to call it, maybe like an extreme pornographic live canvas? Eh, possibly but he loved seeing this sight before him.

As much as Hikaru was enjoying this and the view before him, he took the initiative, surprising the maid in disguise. He lifted her up grabbing his home teacher/lover by her legs holding her up by the thighs and started pistoling from below right behind her.

Her surprise and shock turned into pleasured moans as was going on full guns blazing and everything. Even though this startled her, she was enjoying it immensely. He wasn't even going gentle either, he was rough making her an even more of a moaning mess possibly then before. God they hoped that the neighbors didn't hear them, then again right now they didn't fucking care. The two were lost and absorbed into the moment.

"Fuck...right there Hikaru..." Sadayo managed to breath raggedly despite moaning like a train whistle. "I don't care...just fuck me like I'm in heat!"

"Sada...you really shouldn't tempt me like this..."

"Oh?" She leaned back wrapping a single around his neck giving him such an erotic and lustful look. "You make it sound like it's a bad thing...Don't worry, you already know I've been taking the pill...So just *moaning* let loose like you're trying to knock me up..." She suddenly screamed out feeling something inside of her expanding. Sadayo realized that she literally just pushed one of his buttons, because now he was going much faster than his hips would allow.

He was giving it all he had relentlessly, her breathing, her smell and her moans fueling that desire. One part of him wished the circumstances would be different, but he still had two more years. Once those two years were up, he was determined to take Sadayo as his own. One way or another, if it was to work out, he'd gladly put a ring on her finger and make her his and his woman alone.

Until then, they'd just keep up the acting at school and change out of character. They'd continue hiding their love in the darkness, blending in with society until they were finally able to come out together in the open.

Hikaru was clenching his teeth. Suddenly he paused and then continued increasing speed. This indicated one thing to Sadayo: he was getting closer and closer to the finish. Her tongue was now hanging out, and her eyes were completely rolled back, meaning she was overtaken by the primal desire of lust.

Within a few more, almost seemingly never-ending thrusts both Hikaru and Sadayo moaned as he exploded inside of her. Both of them twitched like crazy, feeling the rush and effects of the climax. Both collapsed onto the bed with Sadayo landing on top of Hikaru who still remained inside, his essence leaking out at the same time. They were beyond tired and exhausted, all that adrenaline had faded out, now they were basking in each other's warmth.

Even though Sadayo was tired both mentally and physically, she intertwined her hand with his.

"I...I love you..." She said, smiling at him.

"Not as much as I do for you..."

5/22/Sunday.

Time: Early Morning

Hikaru stirred awake. When he got up, the older student noticed that something was off. He was the only one in the room. There was no sign of Sadayo anywhere.

"Huh, maybe she went home." Hikaru thought out loud as he got up and yawned away. That night alone was excellent. The perfect reward after three weeks of busting his ass to get the top scores of the midterms. Of course, now he had to figure out a way to repay her for it.

Naturally she'd probably wave him off and say something nice. But he owed her that much. When he exited out of his room wearing a set of PJ's, something caught his nose. It was the smell of cooking, multiple flavors, that he knew all too well. To him, it showed that she was still here and she was making him breakfast.

God he was so lucky to have her. So with a bright smile he made his way down the stairs and turned the corner to get into the kitchen.

When Hikaru did enter he paused. What he was seeing was practically almost every common man's dream. Sadayo was making him breakfast, wearing only an apron. Yes, an apron that hugged her body nicely in all the right places.

Sadayo turned around and smiled. "Good Morning." She resumed cooking and wasn't even bothered or embarrassed by how exposed she was at all.

"Morning..." Hikaru was still absorbing what he was seeing, his eyes landing specifically on her back side. "I thought you went home."

"I thought about it, but since it's Sunday and I have free time figured that I'd hang around here and serve you some breakfast." She pointed over to the table and saw that there was a nice array of food on the table. A perfect way to start off the morning with the most important meal of the day.

Hikaru smiled hearing this, shaking his head. He wanted to say it but knew at this point, there was no need to question what was going on. "I'm just finishing up, have a seat."

The older student did as was told and when he did Sadayo placed a plate out in front of him. While he was eating Hikaru didn't notice Sadayo had crawled underneath the table.

Hikaru hummed, enjoying the tastes he was getting from this wonderful food that was made. "Sada, this is really good." When he didn't get a response he looked around in confusion. "Huh? Where'd you go?"

"Right here." He looked down below at the base of his chair and found her right there. "Don't mind me~" She reached her fingers around his pajama bottoms, yanking them off.

"What are you doing?"

"What's it look like? I'm getting myself some breakfast too."

"Sada you literally do enough for me, you can stop now..."

"I know..." She finished slipping off his drawers. "But as I keep saying, I want to." Hikaru groaned as he felt her lips surround his manhood.

This had to be a dream, yes that's all it had to be, because here he was in a nice home and having a nice breakfast and getting one from down below from a very nice woman that he loved dearly.

However, even though he was rested, Hikaru's body still felt the aftereffects of last night and wasn't able to hold out. Although it was a bit quick and early, the older student gave in emptying out the inside of her mouth.

She wasn't even flinching, anything, she was gulping down everything that was coming out. He could see the outline of her throat with each gulp not allowing a single drop to go to waste all while her eyes were closed emitting moans in the process.

Slowly she retracted back and exhaled, finally using it to recapture her breakfast, licking the corners of her lips in the process. "How was that?"

Hikaru panted a bit groaning a bit. "I don't even know what to say..."

"I'll take that as your way of saying a good job..." She leaned up to him and trailed her tongue against his neck. He shivered a bit in pleasure adding more confusion.

"What's gotten into your this smorning?" He winced a bit, feeling her hand grab him down below.

"I still haven't had enough."

"What!?" His eyes went wide as dinner plates. "But we literally did it three times last night!" It was true, later on after both of them settled back down, they got into it some more.

"I know, but I haven't had sex in three whole weeks. I've worked relentlessly, both at school and my other job. I had to hold myself back from coming onto you. Even when you called." She said with a very carnal and hungry look in her eyes.

"Sada...you're kind of starting to scare me..."

"If you know better, don't argue and help me release my stress." She trailed all fingers she had up his chest before emerging from underneath the table pushing him and the chair he was sitting on back to lower herself down onto him. Immediately the maid in secret began to ride him. Even though Hikaru wasn't against the idea, this was all happening too fast.

"W-W-Wait! Can't I just...finish my breakfast first!?"

Sadayo paused at what she was doing and raised an eyebrow. "Hikaru, are you seriously going to question what's happening right now? Because how often does this happen to other guys?" She held up one finger stopping him from talking. "And don't deny it."

Hikaru blinked, realizing she had an excellent point. "Ok, you've made your argument." Hikaru stood up earning a surprised yelp from Sadayo and started plowing her on the table much to her delight, capturing her lips in the process.

Neither of them wasted this chance to love in the kitchen.
