Kaede was walking alone at night to her apartment when he noticed someone following her.

She remained calm and watchful.'There's nothing to worry about, Kaede, remain focused, you're almost there,' she says as she looks around and notices there are still a few people on the street.

When she arrives at the home street, her heart skips a beat because it's quite dark and the residence appears to be inside. 'I simply need to walk a little faster,' she told herself.

She reached for her phone inside her purse as she continued to walk, remaining alert. She is still aware that she is being watched.

Her hands trembling as she nearly drops her phone, she presses the button and dials a random number from the contact list, which happens to be gaolan.

After the third ring, the recipient responds, "Akiyama Kaede?" Gaolan's voice is soft with excitement.

"I think I'm being followed,"she said, her voice weak and panicked.

"By who? Where exactly are you?" He asked, alarmed.

Kaede soon recognizes his mellow voice."goalan san?" 'Nice Kaede, You called someone who isn't in Japan', She cursed herself inwardly.

"I said where are you?"He inquired vehemently.

'I'm he-heading home, im a few meters a-away from home, but could you call a security for me?" She pleaded. Her voice quivering as she heard a audible footsteps behind her.

Kaede was well aware that the king he was serving had considerable power and had huge influence in japan, and for the reason she's in a tough situation right now; she needs to think fast.

"Hang on" his short and swift response.

And suddenly. A big hand quickly grasped her and covered her mouth.

She dropped her phone, and her captors crushed it with the heel of his shoe.

Her scream gets muffled by a hand cupping her mouth

"We have nothing against you, lady, but we have an order that has to be done." He said with heart colded tone.

Kaede tried to free herself by stomping his foot with her high heels, but his captor was quick to act by pointing a knife in her throat.

Kaede just closes her eyes as he pushes the edge of the knife closer to her throat, which is starting to bleed.

This is the first time she has been helpless in a death situation. She is admired for being a strong woman. She is surrounded by the most skilled fighters in Japan, and if she is killed tonight, she is confident that Ohma kun will hunt down her murderer even in hell. She hopes to see her parents one last time. She started to pray that all her sin's will be forgiven.

Until a strong blasted blow near her caused her to tumble to her knees.

She gently opened her eyes to discover Ohma standing next her. She tilted her head to the side to take a look of her captor's, he's a tall man, wearing a white suite with a scar on his face.

"You are'nt even skilled enough for me to do a warm-up on, get lost" ohma said with a mock.

ohma move foward in a swift of motion to hit the man. But he missed it.

"Its look's like you are more than qualified to be a vessel of the tiger" the man with a whit suite said as he throw away his knife.

"What do you mean? What do you even know about me?" Ohma asked.

"I have my orders and i never fail, so that's mean i take you by force" he growled. As he starting to transform similar to ohma's advance techinque.

"I could'nt remember the name of that attack, but now its come back to me. "Possesed by God", i can clearly see you weren't bluffing, Let me guess, you were sent here by the bugs, right?" Ohma stated.

"Stay behind me kaede, got it? This man not backing up." Ohma commanded.

And in the blink of an eye, Ohma knocks the man down, making it seem he's too acquainted with the technique to be easily defeated.

Ohma move back and kneel down to look at her closely.

"Who is that ohma kun? Kaede inquired softly.

"Are you alright, kaede?" Ohma reaches out his hand to examine the scrape on her neck.

"I think so" She spoke almost in hushed tones. She reached for her neck, and as she saw a smear of blood in her hand, the awful occurrence began to sink in; she hadn't noticed that her tears were starting to fall.

Ohma helps her get to her feet, He was going to pick her up, but Kaede moved away from him

" i can walk" she said hollowly, and she moved as her head dipped down to hid her teary eyes.

She feels frustrated,she has never cried in front of anyone else before, Tears makes her feel vulnerable.

Kaede remained silent until they arrived at their apartment, at which point she headed to the shower in order to clean off and attending her wounds.

Ohma entered her room and found Kaede brushing her hair on her bed."Who's that man, ohma kun?" kaede asked as soon as he saw him coming to her.

He seated on the floor in facing her, "i have no idea kaede, all i know is that he is sent by bugs, i have no idea what his intention either" he said frankly.

"Are they coming after you?" she asked, alarmed.

He shook his head, sighed deeply, and gazed tiredly at the ceiling."Just don't go home so late at night for your own good," he said solemnly.

"Can you please always bring your phone with you?" Kaede exclaimed angrily.

"Huh?"Ohma lifted his brows, puzzled and bewildered.

"So I can reach you, when they tried-- "she mumbled quietly, she closses her eyes, tries not to remember the trauma that had left her.

"It won't happen again, kaede," Ohma assured her as he rose to his feet. "I need to go, I have something to attend to, and kindly ensure to locked all the doors,." He reminded.

"Where you going? Hey, What do you mean?" Kaede yells at him.

several hours passed..

Ohma anger grips Kitsuna's neck."You let the woman out of this, i assume you can relay the word to who ever fucking you worshiping with" He exclaimed furiously.

Mr.Nogi ordered Kaede not to report to work the next day.

He gave Kaede a phone replacement so he could readily reach her, after all, Ms Akiyama is his still most trusted employee.

All pending notifications began to pop up immediately as she turned on her phone. And nearly all of it is from Gaolan. She immediately recalls that he was the first person she sought assistance from. She felt bad for troubling and alarming the guy from a different country.

She's about to call him, when his name appears on the screen.

His last message says:

Kaede, I can't reach your number and don't know who else would call simply to reach you; are you okay? I'm intending to board the first flight to Japan this morning to check on you personally as I felt horrible that I live too far miles from you.I was seriously worried about you.

Kaede felt bad, ashamed, and melted by his message; she had no idea he cares so much about her. She can't help but render a lovely smile and brighten her cheeks.

She re read it again, and when she came upon the part that said "flight to Japan," her eyes grew wider, she gasped as she began to panic. She hastily dialed his number, but the call was now diverted.

"Hey, I apologize for the late word; my phone had broken down. I am safe and sound now, and I feel sorry for worrying you. However, there is not necessary for you to travel up here" kaede sent her txt message.

She bit her lower lip, still distressed and leaned her head against her palm, feeling wretched.

She keeps on wondering who Gaolan's closest associate is here in Japan; she's seen him with Saw Paing before, but he's from Myanmar. He never brought up what he had experienced in Japan to her, and she never asked as well.

'What's the matter with the lengthy face, Kaede? "I told you it's fucking over, they'll never show their filthy faces on you again," Ohma remarked as he sat opposite from her on the sofa..

Kaede raised her head to look at him, wary of how sure ohma was of his assurance. But she let it go for now and instead she asked something that caught him off guard.

"Ohma kun, is there a chance that you had a conversation with Gaolan san when you were both at the tournament? Do you happen to know who his acquaintance we might ask about him?"She said nervously as she bite's her lower lips.

"Huh? Ohma furrowed his eyebrows,confused"what the hell do you talking about?"

Kaede looking straight with his gaze, startled. But she told everything about how did happened.

Ohma just shrugged; I once observed him speaking with Kaneda before. He answered coldly, Ohma understands her misery, after all, she has been attacked because of him. However that Thailand idiot guy wants to prove anything else.he knows, because he's a man himself.He just smirk on that thought.

Kaede is busy on her phone, try to search if she have kaneda's number.

"Kaede, aren't you hungry? Im craving for seafood ramen, you wanna go out with me? "Ohma asked, annoyed how kaede too caught up on her phone, He heard a sound coming from her phone and A flush starting to spread on her cheeks.

Kaede finally receieved a message from goalan saying: im glad you're ok kaede, im on my way to the airport when i received the news, his majesty himself deliver the news. I really wish i am there with you right now"

Ohma observing her serious face turned into a smile as a flush spreading across her cheeks.

"You look like some kind of lunatic kaede" he said with a cold and annoyed voice.

"Im sorry?" and Kaede lifted her face up at him, confused and irritated.

He has had enough and simply walked away,up to the door.

"I'm going to the hotpot, well you stayed here and seems you enjoyed chatted to your hero" he said with a cold and annoyed voice.

"Ohma kun"She noticed that he was serious.She sprang up right away and said, "No, I'm coming, give me a minute, I've got to change."

"No, you stayed here; I want to eat in peace," Ohma answered quickly as he walked out the door.

Keade watched as he shut the door loudly, leaving her dumbfounded and perplexed.

Ohma is one of promising kengan fighter who was trained by the master of Niko Style himself, Tokita Niko. He's a beast,savvy, and immensely strong.

The only thing he's horrible at is the damn alcohol. He struggles to hold the drink down long enough.

He headed to the bar where men typically hang out to kill the time.

He's already sober after his third bottle; his brain is whirling and his stomach is turning upside down.

Lihito texted Kaede, asking her to grab the squandered ashura

She found him in the couch, leaning his head on the bar counter, too drunk to make any moves.

Kaede rolled her eyes as she approached their table. Lihito greeted her, but she shook him with a harsh gaze, making okubo and himuro cringe.

"Is it a bad idea for you to stay at home and prepare for your forthcoming match? Consider that your loss is a major loss in the Nogi Group,You're being careless, lihito san," said Kaede angrily.

"I'm sorry, ma'am,"Lihito replied softly as he lowered his head.

She sighs deeply and turns to face Ohma, saying, "Ohma is not a drinker like you are, so why do you keep insisting on him drinking with you?"

"Hey, Akiyama, take note that he dragged himself here; we didn't invite him" Lihito countered. "Besides he's a fucking grown-man, don't babysit him."

Ohkubo chuckled, but Himuro hastily elbowed him.

Ohma raises his head slowly, his eyelids weary, as he faces kaede.

He click his tongue, "you're so damn annoying, women" he said drunkenly.

A hostess approached them and shoved kaede a bit as she went to Ohma, rubbing his back and her other arm over Ohma's shoulder.

"Are you okay Ohma, my place nearby you can rest for a while, I'll be out in 10 minutes," she lovingly offered. She move ohma head to rest it again her chest.

Kaede's eyes narrowed, but she kept silent.

In an instant, a young energetic girl pushes the hostess away from Ohma, saying,"How dare you touch my fiancee?"

A hostess furrowed her browse" You're not old enough to be his fiancee

"No, I'm already 16, ohma and i will make a strong babies" as she hugging ohma tightly

She giggled sarcastically "You're delusional kid, you think ohma is the type of guy whose looking for immatured girl like you, he was more wanting to be with experienced woman" she muttered.

Lihito and the others were laughing at the girls' antics. "Hey kure girl, I'm with you, you and Ohma have to get hitched," Lihito exclaimed cheerfully.

Kaede sighs and rubs her temples."Ladies, that's enough," she said loudly enough for everyone to hear.

All she wanted was go back to her place and rest, She stepped closer to Ohma, capped his head, and Ohma raised his face to meet her eyes, Kaede claiming his lips with her gentle lips. Ohma smirked as he angled her face for a deeper kiss.

Kaede's aim was to offer him just a speck on his lips, but his drunken hunger overtook him and he devoured her with an intense hot kiss.

Before she loses control, she must halt the kiss.

She shifted her head back a bit. She glanced around and felt embarrassed as everyone was looking at them; she bit her swollen lips and flushed as she lowered her head.

Kaede hurriedly grabbed Ohmas' arm and helped him walk on the bar away from the prying eyes.

Leaving the two ladies gasping and bewildered.

"Hey, Ohma banging kaede hard tonight; you should try your luck again next time." Lihito said grinning.

Ohma is inebriated, and her apartment is a little too far away. Ohma is a massive guy as compared to her slender shape, and she cannot carry Ashura all by herself.She decided to stay in a hotel close to the pub.

They find themselves submerging their naked bodies in the jacuzzi to relieve the effects of Ohma's hangover.

Kaede leaned back against Ohma's muscular chest, appreciating the translucent ceiling that let the dazzling stars and the beautiful moon could be viewed, adding more to the luxury scent of the bathroom. It's worth what you paid for, she reasoned.

"Ohma kun, look how beautiful the stars light up," kaede murmured, laying comfortably close to Ohma.

In response, Ohma simply hummed. He seemed uninterested as his hand moved to her breast and fondled it.

"Hey kaede, you have a really nice breast" He said casually.

"Pervert" kaede said as she rolled her eyes.

Ohma smiled as he delicately pinched her nipples. "Its true, its soft, smooth and big, perfectly fit on my hands."

Kaede shook her head as she massaged her temple. 'He's still tipsy,' she muttered inwardly. She shivered as the heat of his breath kisses her neck.

"Ive seen a countless naked girls in front of me but there all nothing compared to you" ohma stated with lush on his eyes.

"You mean, you sleep with all them?" Kaede teasingly asked

"A few" Ohma admitted, "But You're the most delicious meal I've ever tasted, kaede," and he captured her mouth to kiss her and firmly fondled her breast, causing kaede to gasp.

Ohma lift her to reverse there position, ohma swifly move his mouth from the kiss and go down to her breast, sucking as his tongue rolling on her hard nub.

Kaede grips on Ohma's hair and pushed her chest to ohma as she moaned, but she wants more, she grinding her hips on ohma's thigh "Ohma kun, play with my clit too"

A mischievous grin appears on ohma's face. "Open your legs kaede" ohma commanded.

Kaede spread her legs as wide as she can. Ohma slowly sliding his hand towards to her cunt.

Ohma take a bit surprise when kaede suddenly grasp his large hard cock.

"He need attention too" she said with a sly grin.
