Kagami kept her back pressed against the wall out of sight of Saiko and her two companions until they left the room. She knew that whatever had gone on between Chishiya and Niragi was probably over and done with and Chishiya would be looking for her, but curiosity had gotten the better of her. Right now, she needed to work out what Niragi had planned before she set him loose on The Beach after she left. While she didn't particularly care for most of the Beach members, she also didn't want them to be tortured or murdered just because she wasn't around to keep Niragi happy anymore.

Once Kagami was sure that Saiko and the others were well and truly gone, Kagami snuck into Niragi's room. The rope, duct tape and hand cuffs were set out on the bed which had weirdly been made. Even when Kagami regularly slept in that bed neither she nor Niragi made it. In fact, even when living together for a decade in the real world it was rare for them to make the bed.

Kagami's eyes scanned the room and she noticed that a lot of the furniture had been pushed up against the wall to create a much larger space around the bed. Whatever Niragi was planning clearly involved people other than Niragi for him to require this much space. Something in her stomach turned the longer she stood in the room. She couldn't help but feel as though the room had been set up just for her.

Kagami swallowed hard as she took a step closer to the bed, she definitely expected Niragi to act out after seeing her and Chishiya's kiss, but this was just insanity. Was he planing on tying her down like he had threatened? Or was he going to torture her?  Kagami picked up the set of handcuffs and examined them before placing them back down next to the keys. She doubted that she could say or do anything to stop Niragi's plan unless the words that came out of her mouth were 'I love you and I'm yours'.

It was in these moments that she wished Hachi was around so that she could slap him. If only Niragi's childhood wasn't as terrible as Kagami's. Between Hachi, the murder and Kagami in general, it made sense as to why Niragi was the way that he was. Perhaps if she had of let him in the way he wanted her to years ago they wouldn't be in this position now. But, instead, she had spent years treating him more like a pet than a boyfriend or a fiance.

The truth was, she was too scared to let someone in completely because, what if she did and they left? What if she truly let someone in and truly allowed herself to be completely vulnerable with them and they abandoned her? Kagami wasn't sure if she could survive that. Niragi was close to breaking down her walls when they first got together, but they had also never had a proper conversation about how they felt about one another. Daiki had always told her that Niragi only loved the idea of her. Because of that, she pulled back from Niragi which caused his sweet personality around her to change to the one he had now over the years.

Just as her hand touched the duct tape Kagami heard the sound of the door opening behind her that caused her to grab the gun she had hidden and aim it in the direction of the noise. Much to her surprise, her eyes fell onto Chishiya. His eyes were flicking between her face and the gun in her hand before he gave her a half smile and raised his hands either side of his head.

"How did your little chat go?" Kagami asked, lowering the gun which as a result caused Chishiya's hands to lower and return to his pockets.

"I got my point across but I don't think it will change anything." Chishiya replied. Kagami couldn't help but laugh and shake her head, her eyes once again falling onto the items that were laying on the bed.

"That's Suguru for you. He can be stubborn and he doesn't like to lose and you know, he did see us kiss..." She shrugged, tucking the gun back into her waistband under Chishiya's shirt she 'borrowed'

"I think it was for the best." Chishiya replied, causing Kagami to frown at him.

"Are we talking about the same Suguru Niragi?" She asked with a chuckle, "Suguru is the most jealous person I've ever met. He gets jealous over guys who look at me and he's just seen you kiss me." She said seriously, crossing her arms over her chest as she spoke. Chishiya looked her up and down before he spoke once more,
