Finding Home || Kazutora Hanemiya

Chapter 30

Kazutora quickly walked down the stairs with the dogs, and again, when he reached the door, he looked through the window before stepping out. However, he couldn't see you this time. He narrowed his eyes, then looked down at the dogs. He grinned and unattached the leashes from their collars.

"Okay, guys." he said and they both looked up at him, wiggling their tails. "Can you find Y/N? Can you find her?" he asked and saw how they started to became excited, and wiggled their tails faster. "Come on, catch her! Kazutora said, opening the door and he saw as Ryo and Cassie ran out, barking loudly, but then they stopped, and looked around.

Kazutora walked out and saw as they started sniffing around in the snow, slowly making their way towards a big tree. Kazutora grinned, leaned down, grabbed some snow and started making a ball.

When Kazutora went back up to the apartment, you decided to hide behind a tree and make as many snowballs as you can. You knew that Ryo can find you, you used to play with him by hiding from him when he ran around and didn't pay attention.

You smirked when you heard the dogs bark and you prepared yourself for when they find you. You leaned down and gathered as many snow in your arms as you could without making balls of it, and you stood up, holding it close to your chest.

Suddenly you saw as Ryo and Cassie appeared in front of you barking again in excitement, and ready to jump on you, but you threw the snow on them and they backed away, shaking their fur. While they were busy cleaning themselves, you quickly grabbed a snowball.

Kazutora saw as the dogs got distracted by the snow and he quickly ran to the other side of the tree, ready to attack, but his eyes widened when he saw as you already threw a snowball in his direction. He turned away, but it still hit the side of his head, and the snow fell down to his neck, under the collar.

He shivered and laughed loudly, turned back and threw his own snowball in your direction. You gasped and ducked your head, and it flew past you. You quickly crouched down and grabbed another snowball from the pile you made earlier, and wanted to throw it at Kazutora again, but suddenly both Ryo and Cassie jumped on you, making you fall back in the snow.

"No!" you laughed loudly and you saw as Kazutora appeared in your vision, grab some snow and push it in your face.

You let out a shriek, and Kazutora kneeled in the snow next to you, laughing loudly, and throwing more and more snow on you, as you shook it off after each attack, while Cassie and Ryo were jumping around both of you.

You turned your head to the side, and saw the snowballs. You reached out, grabbed one and threw it in Kazutora's face.

"Aw!" he yelled, falling back on his ass, and you quickly got up, pushed him on his back and straddled him, pinning his arms down.

Kazutora looked up at you laughing, and you saw how his eyes scanned your face. Your hair was a mess, because of the "bath" he gave you, and it was full of snowflakes, and your whole face was red because of the cold.

You saw as his eyes shined in a playful glow.

"You're the most beautiful snowman I've ever seen." he smirked.

You giggled at his words.

"Aww, careful, you're making me melt."

"Then let's build another." he said excitedly.

You grinned, climbed down from him and both of you started rolling the snow around. Kazutora made the biggest part, and you did the two smaller ones, stopping sometimes to play around with the dogs.

When all three parts were finished, Kazutora put them on each other, while you sprinted up to your apartment. You grabbed a carrot for the nose, and a few nuts for the eyes and mouth. You remembered you ate ice cream the other day, so you grabbed the empty bowl from the top of the trashcan, quickly washed it, then grabbed your phone and ran down.

Kazutora grinned when he saw the things in your arms and helped you put them on the snowman. He found two sticks and put it on the sides, while you put the bowl on the head.

You both stepped back, admiring it, then you quickly pulled out your phone with a grin.

"Okay, stand next to it!" you said, as you motioned with your hand to it, and walked a little further.

Kazutora laughed and stood next to the snowman, then he looked around and when he saw Ryo and Cassie he whistled, making them run to him. Kazutora made them stood in front of him, and he looked up smiling, ready for you to take the picture.

You called both of the dogs names, making them look at you and you took the picture.

You ran to Kazutora, showing it to him, and he laughed then took the phone from you and he made a similar photo of you, then he sent them to his phone.

"Let's take another one." he said as he put his free arm around your shoulders, and pulled you close to his side, and held up the phone for a selfie.

You grinned, put your arms around his waist, and looked in the camera. Kazutora took the pic and when he wanted to pull away, you squeezed him.

"Another one!" you said, making Kazutora chuckle, but he held the phone up again.

You turned your head and pecked Kazutora's cheek. His grin widened and he took another pic.

"Perfect." he said when you both looked at it, and he pulled you in for a kiss.

"I love you." he said, nuzzling your nose with his.

"I love you too." you murmured, kissing him again.

Just when the kiss was getting more heated, you both heard Ryo and Cassie growl. You both looked down at them and followed their gazes. From the distance a golden retriver was running towards them, while a woman and little girl were running behind it.

"Maya, no!" the little girl screamed and Kazutora quickly grabbed Cassie's collar, before she can start running.

However, when you grabbed Ryo, he already took off spritting, and your fingers slipped from his collar.

"Ryo, stop!" you yelled, but Ryo continued running.

Kazutora, the woman, the girl, and you watched in horror as both dogs ran at each other growling, but when they were about to collide, they both stopped and they sniffed each other.

Kazutora and you let out a big sigh, and started walking towards the dogs, while Cassie tried to ran to them, but Kazutora held her back.

When the girl and the woman were closer too, you smiled at them.

"Well, that was scary." you commented, making the woman laugh.

"Yeah, I never heard her growl."

"Look, mommy, it looks so fluffy!" the girl yelled, making the three of you laugh. Can I pet it?" she asked you.

"Of course." you smiled, and the girl petted Ryo.

Kazutora let go of Cassie and she hurried to the girl, wanting attention too. The girl giggled, caressing her head too.

"I'm Leah." the woman said, stepping closer to you, holding out her hand. "And she's my daughter, Tora."

Kazutora's heart skipped a beat at the name. He remembered that Baji often called him Tora to tease him. He eyed the girl a little, then cleared his throat when Leah offered her hand to him.

"Hi, I'm Kazutora." he shook it with a smile, and saw from the corner of his eye as someone approached.

"Hey, Maya's making new friends?" the man asked with a chuckle.

Kazutora's whole body froze for a moment at the familiar voice, then his head snapped in the direction of the newcomer.

It was him.

He saw as his best friend frowned at him, and how his eyes widened when he recognized him.

"Kazutora?" he asked in disbelief, but he didn't look happier even after he realized who was standing before him.

And his next words made Kazutora's heart clench in worry.

"When did you get out of prison?"
