Yami Luna Kitsune: Thanks. You think? Well...it might not go that way. Keep reading.

Enjoy the next chapter.

Iruma sat on the couch, watching TV when he heard a knock at the door. Sighing, he turned the TV down, stood up and walked over to the door. Opening it, he saw Clara, Ameri, Kerori, Elizabetta and their families standing on the other end. Taking a deep breath, he crossed his arms and smirked as he leaned up against the doorframe, "C'mon you four, I haven't had anything to drink in over a month. I'm over Haruno doing that and I've gotten over Kanna's request,"

The families in front of him slightly frowned before Ameri spoke up, "No one can get over something like that in a month, and we saw the bins outside, there are a few cans in there, so don't try to lie to us," Iruma frowned and looed away, "We're just checking up on you and our parents, Calra's siblings and Kerori's siblings wanted to make sure you were okay," Iruma nodded as he turned his back towards them and waved them into the mansion before walking back inside with everyone following him.

Everyone sat down as Iruma leaned against the wall with his head down and his arms crossed, "Ameri is right...I had been drinking on the weekends, but it wasn't that bad," his former classmates and everyone frowned, "I only drank on weekends, but...I was planning on stopping so an-" before he could finish, his phone began ringing and he took it out of his pocket and looked down, "Haruno? Why in the hell would she be calling me? It's been a month and I already disowned Kanna like she asked,"

"Iruma," Ameri's father, Henri, spoke and Iruma looked up in confusion, "Answer it, but put it on speaker,"

Iruma hummed and tilted his head to the side in confusion before Ameri's mother, Merize, spoke, "Trust us, Iruma, she can't be calling you just to say hello, especially after having you disown your daughter last month,"

Iruma nodded and answered his phone, putting the speaker setting on, "Hel-"

"Where the hell is it, you moron!" a voice shouted on the other end, causing everyone to jump in a panic, "It's been a month, now where is it!"

"Hello to you too, Haruno, now...why in the hell did you just assault my eardrums?"

"Don't play dumb, Suzuki, where is the child support check! It's the first of the month an-" Iruma snickered before he began laughing, "And what, pray tell, is so goddamn funny, Iruma? Are you trying to find a reason to go to prison or something?"

Iruma stopped laughing and smirked, "You didn't read it, did you? The documents the court gave us on that fateful day?" a still silence filled the air as Iruma walked over to the end table and opened the drawer, pulling out some papers, "Page seven, paragraph two states that after I disowned Kanna and Asmodeus adopted her, I will no longer be required to pay child support, and since he adopted her in the courtroom...well, you know what that means,"

Everyone looked at Iruma before Haruno spoke again, "So? You still better pay! I'll take you to court again and say you forged those documents an-"

"Is that so?" Ameri's mother spoke up, taking the phone from Iruma, "So you're willing to lie to court officials to get what you want, and to say that while two famous lawyers are here as well?" waiting for a response, everyone heard the call disconnect and Iruma took his phone from Ameri's mother, "So she thought that after you disowned your daughter and Asmodeus adopted her, you'll still be obligated to pay child support, but lucky for you, Iruma, my husband and I were here to talk to her,"

Iruma sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair and looked at Ameri, "I keep forgetting your parents are lawyers...maybe it was a good idea that everyone decided to come and visit today," Ameri, Clara, Kerori and Elizabetta smiled and nodded, "Anyway...what are you all doing here?"

"We're all worried about you, Iruma," Clara's mother, Alyssa frowned, "Clara called me and Jack last week and asked if we can join her this week to check on you,"

"We were all asked to check on you," Kerori's mother, Yumi sighed, "They're worried about you, and judging by the amount of beer cans in the bin...it shows that their concern is well placed,"

Iruma sighed and nodded before Merize smiled, "Why don't you five go and enjoy today? It is supposed to be a nice day...just call if Haruno decides to contact Iruma," Clara, Ameri, Elizabetta and Kerori slowly nodded before Clara took Iruma by the hand and led him out of the mansion, closing the door behind them.

SO

The five walked down the street. Iruma's hands in his pockets with his head down, "Cheer up, Iruma-kins," Iruma hummed and looked back as Clara smiled at him, "Our mommies and daddies said that they'll watch the mansion for you and Pinky won't be stupid enough to show up," Iruma took a deep breath and slowly nodded his head, "So um...where are we going?"

"I was supposed to meet up with Jazz, Lied and Sobnock at the arcade to help get my mind off of what happened last month an-"

"Then let's go," Elizabetta smiled as the four of them pushed Iruma down the street.

SO

The five sat at a table in the arcade along with Iruma's, Clara's, Elizabetta's and Kerori's old classmates Sabro Sabnock, Andro Jazz and Shax Lied sitting across from them, "Not that we're complaining about the extra guests, Iruma," Shax crossed his arms, "But why are our former student body president, Valac, Elizabetta and Crocell with you? We thought we'd help you get over what happened,"

"We're helping Iruma-kins too," Clara stated boldly, "Pinky and their daughter were mean to Iruma-kins and we need to make him happy again,"

"We see," Sabro hummed before looking at the four and arched a brow at Clara, "Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't you and Iruma good friends with Asmodeus?"

"After what Azz-Azz and Pinky did to Iruma-kins, they can go to hell!" the others looked at Clara in shock as Iruma slightly smiled and lightly rubbed her back, "Iruma-kins is the nicest person we know and Pinky went and did that,"

"Right," Andro smirked as he stood up, "Well since we're all here, we might as well play some games," the others nodded as they stood up and walked towards the gaming cabinets.

SO

Iruma stood outside with his back pressed up against the wall with his head down, "Iruma-kins?" he looked up and slightly smiled at his best friend as Clara walked towards him with a slight frown painted across her lips, "I thought we came here to have fun. Is everything okay?"

"I'm fine, Clara," Iruma slid his back down the wall before he hit the ground and stared up at the sky and Clara sat down beside him, "I just needed some air,"

"It's Pinky," Iruma looked at her as Clara sighed and hugged her knees to her chest, "She called you for money for her...but she said she'll try to get you in trouble,"

"I know, but you heard what Ameri's mother said, Haruno made a mistake saying something like that, and saying it in a couple of lawyers made it even worse for her," Clara frowned and nodded before resting her head on his shoulder Iruma wrapped an arm around her and rubbed her back.

SO

Ameri, Kerori, Elizabetta, Shax, Andro and Sabro watched from the lobby of the arcade before Shax sighed and shook his head, "Still as close as ever, we see," Elizabetta, Kerori and Ameri looked at the man with blonde and black hair in confusion, "C'mon, Crocell, Elizabetta, you two know that the two of them always had each other's back throughout high school. Whevener Iruma was bummed out, Clara would be there to help him out, and if you hurt Clara in any way...well, you can run to the top of the highest mountain ever and you still won't be safe from Iruma,"

"Right," Elizabetta took a deep breath and looked back at the two, "And after what happened in our Third Year...it wasn't pretty, but hopefully everyone can get past this,"

"Hmm...and if you don't mind," Andro spoke and the three looked at him, "What exactly happened to him? He didn't tell us much outside of the obvious, but we can tell something is still bothering him," Ameri, Elizabetta and Kerori frowned as they lowered their heads, "What?"

"We'll tell you, but none of this gets back to Iruma, do you understand?" confused, Andro, Shax and Sabro nodded, "From what Iruma told us...it was at the final custody hearing last month," Ameri looked up, a frown still painted across her lips, "On that day, Kanna asked to be disowned by Iruma so that Asmodeus can adopt her and we guess he just ran out of fight from there, gave up and disowned her...he was freed from child support, but she called him today demanding a check and when she tried to play ignorant, my parents stepped in and she hung up,"

"And she had the audacity to go as far as that, huh?" Sabro inhaled slowly before looking up, "There are some people in this world who are completely greedy to get money out of people they've wronged,"

"We found Iruma that night at a bar, he and the bartender said he only had a couple of drinks, but we don't know if that's true are not. Iruma could've lied to us and asked the bartender to dot he same,"

Andro hummed as he crossed his arms, closed his eyes and shook his head, "I don't think so," Ameri, Elizabetta and Kerori looked at him in confusion as Andro looked at Clara and Iruma, "If Clara was with you, I highly doubt Iruma would have it in him to lie. If you recall, Iruma couldn't lie to her unless a surprise was involved, and even then it was damn near impossible for him," the three hummed in unison as they looked back at the two.

SO

The eight walked down the street in silence before Iruma stopped and looked back in confusion, "I understand why Clara, Ameri, Elizabetta and Kerori are coming, their families are back at the mansion, but why are you guys following?"

"What? We're just making sure our friend isn't going to do anything stupid, and besides, just because we left the arcade doesn't mean the party has to end, right?" Andro smirked and shrugged his shoulders, "And besides, it beats spending time with my brother, so what are we waiting for?" Iruma looked at Clara, Ameri, Elizabetta and Kerori in confusion as the four of them slowly shook their heads before the eight of them continued to walk down the street.

SO

Iruma walked up the stairs, ignoring his guests as he turned and walked down the hall to his room. Entering his room, he walked over to his bed and sat down with his head down and his eyes narrowed, "Damn her, I was supposed to enjoy my day with my friends, she calls demanding the child support check and then she'd lie to the courts...thank God Ameri's parents were here when she said that and then that shut her up,"

"Iruma-kins," he looked up to see Clara walking into the room, "Why did you come up here? Everyone else is downstairs. Do you want us to go home?"

Iruma smiled as he stood up and walked over to her and patted the top of her head, "No, I just needed a minute," Clara continued to frown, "C'mon, Clara, I probably shouldn't be alone when I feel like this, especially after Haruno called this morning," Clara slowly nodded and the two of them turned and walked out of the room and down the stairs.

Okay so a few others are aware of Iruma's situation now and yeah, it won't be the last of Haruno or Asmodeus. Enjoy.
