When Tachibana heard the two guys' footsteps, she let a sharp scream that made both recognize her. Usui's heart started to beat like Crazy, knowing well that , just now, at this very moment, his wife and girlfriend finally met.
"What the hell?" Questioned Aoi with an annoyed look.
"Honey!"
Came Usui all the way running. He then put down the files and caressed Tachibana's hair.
Aoi rolled her eyes with disgust: "Won't we go in?"
Tachibana went first, head down and hands covering her eyes. Usui followed just after, holding her shoulders, then Aoi. Amane was the last to enter as she was waiting for Ahmed to come in right before.
"What's going on, honey? Are you alright?"
"Darling~! It hurts~!"
"What happened? why are you here?"
"I came to school this morning. I didn't notice the email sent by the principal. So I had to come across the view of blood spread all over the place... sniff... It made me feel so sick and helpless. I was trying to calm down for quite some time, but I couldn't. That's why I came straight to your house. So I can meet you. Seeing you calms me down. But... your wife... the moment she saw me inside, she pulled my hair hardly, and it hurts so~ much!"
Usui stopped for a moment, trying to organise his thoughts, then looked at Aoi with eyes filled with hatred and anger.
"Why did you f****** do that to ma g_?"
"Shut up, I won't get along with your Mexican drama. Just screw off until I finish preparing lunch."
Tachibana's cries became louder.
"You come apologize to her right now, you f****** geezer!"
"SIR_" screamed Amane, trying to defend Aoi.
But got interrupted by Aoi raising her hand, motioning her to not speak.
"Oi! Brother! Get a hold of yourself! Ask Miss Aoi firs_!"
"I needn't ask." Then turned to face Aoi.
"Why are you so mean? is roaming around hitting people all you can do?"
"I wouldn't dare touch any human, let alone that girl's filthy hair." She rolled her eyes sarcastically. "Hah! what am I even arguing for?"
"Still, you hurt her. Tachibana would never go around telling lies like th_"
Without waiting for Usui finish, Aoi took off her gloves and put them on the closest sofa. She headed straight to her bedroom. "Fine. Do whatever."
"Am still speakin_"
With an empty glare, Aoi turned around, looked at Tachibana for a while, then looked back at Usui.
"I thought I was being nice, Kiddo. Do you know the money in your bank account?"
"What about it?"
"That's the number of fucks I give."
"What?"
"I am sorry, Ahmed, I invited you to lunch but sadly I can't prepare anything due to my ruined mood. Amane, here's my card. Take Ahmed and go eat something out."
"Am really fine Miss!"
Aoi glared again at Usui. He could feel her veiled anger this time. She finally smiled briefly at Ahmed.
"A promise is a promise. And take this idiot with you."
"Yes Miss."
Finally Aoi closed the bedroom door.
"Usui what money?" asked Tachibana with completely unfamiliar voice.
Usui didn't reply, he looked so annoyed.
Tachibana wasn't content with that. She pulled his sleeve again and again irritating him. However, Usui held back and took a deep breath.
"enough I'll go with Tachibana to the neighboring Garden."
"Your mone_"
"IT... Huff! ...it's probably one of her lame jokes. Most importantly, we.... we needa talk."
"Check you_"
"Right now!"
Ahmed felt the mood becoming intense between them. Thus he grabbed Amane' suit sleeve and said.
"Amane-san, let them be. Let us go!"
*****
Usui and Tachibana came to the Garden. The second they sat on the bench.
Usui was drowned by a lot of questions.
"What about your money honey? Why did she say that? Did she take your money? Hey go check your_!!"
"Why did you do that" interrupted Usui.
"What are y_?"
"Why did you lie like that?"
"Are you say that I was li_?"
"Listen, I understand you were confused seeing the woman that's supposed to be my wife. I feel you. But... that was hella of a dumb lie. I can't really think about that woman losing her mind to the point where she'll be doing something as silly as what you were claiming. I yelled at her knowing damn well she's innocent, just so you won't be an embarrassment in front of people. But I'm feeling hella guilty!"
Tachibana knew at some point that there is no way in denying. She chose to play victim.
All crying and sniffing between words she shooted:
"I... I didn't know what to do! She... sniff... I was afraid she would bully me, so I thought I had to think quick. B... besides, the thought of you and Her living together made my mind go blank! I'm sorry honey!!"
"It's okay now, I understand. Stop crying."
"Won't you check your bank account now?"
"*sigh* Yea... right."

<<...WHAT THE FUCK?? THIS CAN'T BEEE!>>
Not coming to believe what he just saw, Usui
restarted the web page a handful of times.
<
"I gotta go ask dad about this!"
"It's that b****! It must be her!"
"No way, why would she do that?"
"Maybe she wants to force you to rely on her."
"That doesn't make sens_"
Suddenly a familiar vehicule parked in front of the garden.
It was assistant Jin, who popped out of the car and headed directly to where Usui was sitting.
"Geetings, Sir Usui. Sorry for the sudden visit. However, I must inform you, that you are invited this very moment by the grand Kashi lady, Natishia-sama, to the grand house. Wishing to have an urgent talk with you, sir. May you allow me to escort you to the car?"
"guess that's a yes or a yes" sighed Usui.
Usui looked a brief moment at Tachibana who was crazy stressed, bitting her nails.
He got annoyed by the thought of her caring so much for his money like that. However he didn't want to mention it.
"Tachibana, there's an emergency. I need to go. you can go back home on your own, right? Just as you came. It's not far anyways. So... see you."
Saying that, Usui nodded to assis. Jin, who showed him the way to the car.
