I noticed her worried face all along. She felt guilty for what had happened, but in truth, none of this would have occurred if I had properly buried Suguru a year ago. We walked through Shibuya with the entire group and then split up.
I will bring Megumi back...
Unconsciously, I ground my teeth, and I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Everything will be alright."
I turned and kissed her on the forehead. "Yes, we will make it."
Her eyes no longer had the sparkle they once had. Was that my fault?... The guilt crept up like venomous scorpions. She moved ahead. Her appearance and character had changed, and then there was her father... I shook my head and followed her.
The ground crackled under our shoes. It was cold, dusty, dirty. I glanced at her from the side now and then. It still didn't feel real that she was alive, and sometimes I just had to touch her like now—I pinched her upper arm.
She swatted my hand away. "Ouch!"
I scratched my head and looked around dumbly. "Well... you have to understand me."
She smiled and shook her head.
"Wait, Kanna... I'm just realizing now, does that mean you really came to my bed sometimes?"
She blushed slightly at the ears and looked away. "Yeah..."
I sighed and ran a finger over my lips. "That's why it felt so good."
She glanced at me briefly and cleared her throat. I pulled her close and lifted her in a bridal style.
She was startled. "Hey, what are you doing!"
I grinned at her. "Please let me make it up to you in every way."
Her expression changed, her eyebrows furrowing, and her gaze growing sadder. Her grip around my neck tightened as she rested her ear against my chest. "I'm not that mad at you anymore..."
I swallowed hard. "Really, how much?"
She traced a finger back and forth on my chest, driving me crazy. She was playing with fire.
"Now I'm only 85 percent mad."
It felt like a brick hitting my head. I looked at her, dumbfounded. "Seriously?"
She smiled angelically at me. "Seriously."
I kissed her on the lips. "I'll do anything."
She grinned. "Good boy."
That phrase sent a pulse of electricity through my body down to my groin. I twitched, trying to control myself.
I looked away and took a deep breath, then suddenly stopped. "Wait."
