If Sanemi had to be honest, he'd say he slept like a rock.

And rocks don't sleep.

Sanemi sat at the table, tired as hell. He could barely eat correctly, almost choking twice. Masachika had a concerned face on as he watched his best friend grumble angry slurs to himself. "Sanemi, are you okay?" he asked. "100%," Sanemi replied dryly.

"How about you sleep~" Masachika started, but he was cut off. "I have to help Kanae set up the room for Koto" Sanemi said sleepily, gesturing to the little child in a baby chair, being fed by a maid. "If you insist." Masachika mumbled, turning. 

With him gone, he tried to sleep, but Kanae kept him awake. Kocho, the woman who killed him mom, and ironically was so perfect. A hardworking beauty, he sighed to himself.

He shot up and yelled, red as a tomato, embarrassed by his thoughts.

Koto giggled with glee

Kanae shifted her position, walking about in a land so beautiful that it was not an understatement to call it perfect. As she laid down in the angelic pink flowers, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She shifted to see Sanemi, smiling down at her.

 He moved his hand from her shoulder to her face, lightly touching her porcelain skin. "Nemi-San," she asked, gaping at him. He hugged her to his chest, still smiling. She gasped, blushing madly. 

"Who's 'Nemi-San'?" A sharp, cold voice asked. Kanae bolted up from her dream, the flowers and Sanemi shattered. "Oh, Uh- A friend of mine who was in my dream," she answered quickly, embarrassed someone heard her. Takahashi sneered," Doesn't sound like a friend, what was he doing to you?!" he demanded, seeing red. Kanae stiffened. She wasn't about to tell her fiancé that she was dreaming about someone else.

"It's a girl, Nemi is a nickname for Salanemi, " she lied, "And she made me pancakes that were delicious!" she said, fake giggling. Takahashi eyed her for a second, then sighed. "Love, you have really strange dreams, " he said smiling. Kanae flinches at the name 'Love' If he called her that again, she might consider murder over marriage. 

Kanae almost fell of the bed when she remembered, "I HAVE TO GO HELP SANEMI-KUN, " she yelled, throwing herself off the bed. Takahashi looked up, confused, "Who-" he started, then remembered the white-haired freak who Kanae had debt to. He sighed and grabbed Kanae's hand tightly. Kanae turned, and screamed, "Let me go, you perv!" Takahashi laughed and pinned her to the wall.

"Darling, just know if you ever get tired of that man, I can make him disappear for you. All I need is your word, and Sanemi Shinazugawa will never be heard from again" he smirked, pinning Kanae down with his weight. Kanae looked at him, terrified, his face inches away from her's. 

Kanae knew she would have to play the innocent and loyal wife to not make his suspicious . He would kill Sanemi if she took one wrong step, "Yes, Of course" she said, smiling calmly. Takahashi took himself off her. Kanae placed her delicate hands on his face and kissed his forehead.

He would not be as suspicious as before, she thought to herself, bringing herself back down to her normal height. She looked up and smiled her dazzling smile, "I must change and help Sanemi, see you till them," she winked as she walked away. 

"Bye!" Takahashi said, blushing and waving like an idiot as he closed the door. As soon as Kanae saw him close the door, she felt like puking.  She quickly ran over to her closet and opened it. She threw on a purple kimono, lined with green stitching.
