Three weeks have passed, and Izumi is still in a state of comatose. As soon as the class was over, Megumi went to the hospital to take shifts guarding Izumi. When she arrived at the hospital, the guards said that they would be the ones to defend him. This is ordered by Akihiko for them to take a rest. Megumi puts her trust in them, so she went home. Speaking of home, she doesn't have a house in Japan. Then, why did she suddenly decide to return to Japan? Well, it's simple. As soon as she finished her second to the last semester abroad, she called Izumi. Megumi said that she would be returning to Japan. He was overjoyed and asked when she was coming back. She said that she would be coming back this winter. Megumi asked her parents about it, and they agreed since the three of them could protect me now. She really is their princess. Megumi is so blessed that she has friends-- no, brothers that will protect her.
Izumi then said that he would be coming to her place to celebrate Christmas with her. Megumi asked the reason why, but he refused to say so. She ultimately agreed without hesitation. She will be joining him back in Japan. She was even astonished when he brought Haruki along. Her curiosity arose as she could not see Mitsuru with them; instead, she met their junior named Yuuji. Haruki then explains the situation. Megumi was again mesmerized upon learning that Mitsuru has feelings for Izumi. Their grandparents and parents are friends with each other, so it makes sense that the four are also friends. She has had feelings for Izumi since they were kids, but she only views him as her brother. She tried to cast her feelings away by convincing that. Then, Haruki told what happened between Mitsuru and Izumi. She was mad at Mitsuru. Then, she decided to 'date' Izumi to hurt Mitsuru further.
When they arrived in Japan, she was surprised when she learned that Izumi already had a house and a stable income. She asked if it was okay for him to stay in his place. He agreed with a smile and delight. Izumi went home with a bruise one day, and Megumi patiently stitched his wounds. There was a silence in the atmosphere as Megumi finished stitching Izumi's wound. Moments later, Izumi brought his face closer to Megumi, sealing his lips into her. Megumi was surprised.
"Wait, what did you just do?" Megumi was dumbfounded by what Izumi had done.
"Shhh. We're dating, aren't we?" Izumi replied with an intimidating, handsome smirk with possessiveness lingering. As Megumi was about to respond, Izumi shut her with a kiss once more. The atmosphere was filled with silence and was slowly broken by Izumi, setting a romantic mood with subtleness. Megumi chose not to fight back. As if she was drugged with ecstasy by him. Her face was flushed, and the whole house was filled with the sound of the two. Kissing.
Curiosity engulfed her very being as she let Izumi touch every nook and cranny on her body. Soon, he carried her into his bed, continued to kiss her passionately. As soon as he brought Megumi to the bed, he undid his shirt, exposing his sexy and provocative body. Megumi blushed as she saw it. Without further ado, Izumi continued to kiss Megumi. She let him undress her slowly. As the two were about to do something irreversible, Megumi's eye's dilated and suddenly slapped Izumi.
"What was that for?! Oh, are you into BDSM?" said Izumi mockingly and with a hint of rage coming out from his tone.
"No. This is wrong. Look at yourself." Megumi replied calmly as she showed Izumi himself in front of the mirror. Tears are leaking from his eyes, unbeknownst to his knowledge.
"Wh-Why am I crying?" Izumi emanates a brooding aura as he asks himself.
"Let me ask you one thing," said Megumi. "You love him, don't you?" she added.
"I-I don't know! My mind's a mess! Satoshi left me, hanging and clinging unto his very being, a-and--" Izumi let his problems out. He was agonizing due to the circumstances that he had encountered. His negativity engulfed him, causing him to do questionable things. He was stuttering when Megumi interrupted him.
"Look. I don't know what's gotten into me why I let you do this, but one thing's clear. You're still in love with him-- no. One of them," said Megumi.
"No! I don't love that fu--" Megumi interrupted Izumi as he refuted his feelings stubbornly.
"Well then, put your thing on me! Let's do it!" said Megumi angrily. Izumi went silent upon hearing those words coming straightly from her.
"Have you calmed now? Listen to what I will say," said Megumi seriously. "I now believe that you're bisexual. I know that we almost crossed the line. I guess I'm still in love with you. But when I was looking at you earlier, tears drop continuously from your eyes. I feel you trembling. I can hear your heart screaming and agonizing as you didn't win Mitsuru from Eric. If you truly wish to forget him, date someone else, not me. And cut any sentimental things that are attached with him." she said.
"Can't we just end our fake date? Can't we just officially date?" he pouted.
"Fool! I don't want incest, even we're not blood-related!" she pulled Izumi's hair, causing him pain. "So, is there anything that you want to destroy? Cut? Or maybe buried?" she asked.
"Cut my hair," Izumi said seriously.
"Let me cut it now..." Megumi smirked as she touched his hair.
"W-wait! Let me prepare myself! I'll tell you when to cut it." said Izumi nervously.
"Hmph! No fun! Wear this! I don't like seeing you in that state. You look cute with these pajamas," said Megumi amusingly while dressing him. "And one more thing, forget what we did earlier, okay?" requested Megumi. Izumi stayed silent and was blushing. "Oh, so that's the way it is." She smirked.
"What are you going to do?" asked Izumi curiously. "Oh, nothing..." she said. She immediately called Haruki.
"HEY! HARUKI! IZUMI MADE A MOVE ON----" Izumi interrupted Megumi as she was about to tell Haruki the details. Her muffled sound was heard, and Izumi grabbed the phone.
"NO! NO! It's not what you think!" refuted Izumi while his hands are, and voice is trembling.
"I wasn't telling nor asking something." Haruki then realized and gasped for air. "Don't tell me?! you did it with Megumi?! GOSH! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU! YOU ALREADY MOVED ON FROM HIM! I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU MANAGED TO MAKE A MOVE ON THAT B***H!" said Haruki happily.
"IDIOT! I THOUGHT YOU WERE ON MY SIDE! I HATE YOU! YES! WE DID IT! HAPPY? I'M HANGING UP NOW!" said Megumi as she was fuming with rage. "Well, I guess I can use this fool's brain for misunderstanding us," she added amusingly.
"Wow, you have terrible mood swings." Izumi was amazed at how fast Megumi's mood could change.
"Well, with this, we can fool everyone!" she laughed devilishly. "All right, let's head to bed. It's cold, let's cuddle. No more moves or else..." She added.
"You can sleep on the floor," Izumi said with a dead tone.
"NO! I'm going to sleep with you!" she insisted stubbornly.
"GIYYAAAAAHHH!! GET OFF OF ME!!!" Izumi screamed in agony as Megumi lunged herself at him.
Things were doing well until that incident came.
She was so exhausted and went to sleep in her room then dreamed about the past...
She left Japan after what happened to the four of them. She doesn't even want to remember what they have suffered in that dark and cold warehouse. They were alone, no food nor water, no light to shine upon them. They only keep themselves warm by letting their bodies touch each other. Thankfully, their grandfather, Fuchigami Hatori, a policeman, found and rescued us. The three decided to stay, but her grandparents agreed that she will be sent abroad. Japan is safer than any other country, but it became dangerous to the four of them due to the yakuza wars. Nakamura Ayato was the one who kidnapped them. She did not know why she used them until my grandfather told them.
Nakamura Ayato was a notorious yakuza throughout Japan. He is known to be one of the top drug dealers. He also made a legal company to cover her schemes. He wanted to monopolize the K group and its company, owned by Shirogane Kyoko, Izumi's grandmother. Haruki, Mitsuru, and her grandparents are also a stockholder in the company, meaning they own a share. When they were kidnapped, Nakamura said that she was willing to return them in exchange for the company. Shirogane didn't have a choice but to give the company to her.
After that, she was supposed to release them. But she ordered her henchmen to dispose of them. One of her men grabbed Megumi's hand. His forceful grab almost tore her limbs apart. She was frantically screaming and crying, about to lose hope as half of the knife was buried into her abdomen. Not until her grandpa came to their rescue. He then revealed that he and the other grandparents didn't trust what Nakamura said. Therefore, he put his life at stake to save them. He quickly approached the one who grabbed her and broke his neck. He also had back-up behind him. They carried Izumi, Mitsuru, and Haruki outside the warehouse.
Nakamura heard the noise inside the warehouse; as soon as she saw Fuchigami and others escaping from the warehouse, she shot her gun at the sky, warning them. Then, one of her men grabbed Shirogane's shoulder and pulled her into Nakamura. Nakamura used her as a hostage to stop what Fuchigami was doing. As he puts his gun down, following the orders of Nakamura, she eventually shoots him. Thankfully, it was not life-threatening. As soon as Nakamura let her guard down, Shirogane shrugged her off. Using the knife provided by Fuchigami to her, she stabbed Nakamura in the abdomen. As Nakamura was about to fire once more, another stab was delivered by Shirogane in her heart. The police then surrounded her people and arrested them. That is how Nakamura Ayato met his demise.
Megumi woke up at 9 PM. She was starving, so she went to look for some ingredients to cook food. Thankfully, Izumi always keeps his cabinet and fridge full. He will not worry about supply shortages for an entire month. Even she, a 'freeloader,' can enjoy his house.
This semester became busy this past month. Izumi's still in a comatose state. She wonders if he can keep up when he wakes up? She just studied and took shifts from Haruki and Megumi to guard him. Sometimes, Yuuji also comes to their house to accompany her. Sometimes, Haruki and Mayumi too. His stocks were nearly consumed by them. They felt guilty, so they bought kinds of stuff every time we went home. This time, she was alone. The wind was howling outside, and it caused the windows to whistle in agony. She fixed the stuff she used and cleaned the kitchen as she finished cooking her meal. She went to the living room to watch some television. As she was watching anime, the doorbell rang.
She was utterly shocked when he saw who it was. Iwamoto Satoshi.
