Ayano walks beside Amai, holding her close as they walk through Sasuta Town. Ayano took a deep breath, looking at the street lights and the bustling streets. They saw friends from school, having a fun time out. That brought peace of mind to their mind. Amai on the other hand was still a bit tense from dinner. She knew Ayano's family was hardcore, but she didn't expect Ayato to threaten to kill all of them over a stupid crush. Part of her was a bit upset, wanting to tell Ayano that her family was batshit insane. But she knew that it wasn't the time.

"I'm sorry about tonight...I don't know what Ayato's problem is." Ayano says out in the silence of the night. "Ayato and Yamara... have always hated each other. Well, Ayato just hates women in general...besides our mom. And Yamara loves to make Ayato angry." They explain. Amai shrugs her shoulders. "It's whatever...I know your family is going through a lot right now." She mutters, holding Ayano's arm tightly.

Ayano frowns. "It's not whatever if you feel bad." She says, sighing. "I'm sorry. Sorry for dragging you into my mess all of the time. You should be with a normal girl."

Amai blinks as she looks up at Ayano. "I must admit, life has been more...eventful since we've been dating." She clears her throat. "But that doesn't mean that I hate being around you. You make my life a lot more interesting." She squeezes Ayano's arm tightly. "Besides, I already planned my future with you."

The tall girl was at a loss for words. They tried so hard not to cry in front of Amai, afraid of letting a single tear fall from their eyes. But it was no use.

They soon fell to the ground, crying into Amai's stomach as they held her tightly. "I-I'm sorry....so sorry..." They choked out. Amai softly petted their hair, comforting them. "Hey...it's alright, Yanni-Pie. I love you so much. You're so beautiful and strong..." She trails off, giving Ayano a moment to process everything.

"Just cry, I'm here for you." She whispers lovingly. The streets were quiet now, only the stars and street lights illuminating the area.

------------------------------------------

Ayano holds Amai's hand tightly as she walks her to her house. It was around 11pm, so the streets were completely empty. The sky soon turned cloudy, the stars barely visible. "I think it might rain this week." Amai says, looking up at the dark clouds. Ayano hums in response, noting the weather. "Possibly. I'm gonna need to buy an umbrella."

The two made their way to Amai's house, noticing that there were no cars in the driveway. "Dad's probably gone...again." Amai sighs, taking out her keys and opening the door. Ayano didn't bother to question her girlfriend's relationship with her parents. All she knew was that her mom was the breadwinner of the house, and her dad sometimes worked alongside her.

"Let me stay with you, just for a couple of minutes." Ayano pleads, holding Amai's hand. The shorter girl looked up at Ayano, going on her tippy toes to kiss her lips softly. "It's already late, I don't want you to walk home even later because of me." She says softly. Ayano sighs and runs a hand through her hair. "Sorry...yeah. It's just that..." She gets closer to Amai. "I feel like someone is watching us right now."

Amai hums before thinking for a moment. Surprisingly, being stalked is the least weirdest thing that has happened to her. "I'll just lock all my doors and windows, alright? But seriously, you need to get home. I don't want you to get hurt."

Ayano reluctantly nods their head, frowning. "I know, Amai....I'm just worried. You know me." They sigh, kissing her cheek. "Be safe my love." They say before turning around and walking home. Amai waves, smiling softly before closing the door and locking it.

Tonight was wild. Her whole week was wild. Being together with Ayano was wild in general. But she wouldn't have it any other way.

------------------------------------------

In the shadows, a figure smirks widely before speaking into their phone. "Ayano is walking alone now, should I attack?" The voice on the other line sucked their teeth. "Not yet. We still don't know what that...monster is capable of. You know what happened at Akademi..."

The figure scrunched up their face. "I can handle a psycho with a knife. You underestimate me." The voice sighs loudly. "Just perform damage control. We can't have a monster like her get in the way. Besides, you know what happens if you disobey, don't you...Nemesis-Chan?"

"Yeah...yeah I do." Nemesis sighs. "I'll keep an eye on her. Don't worry your pretty little head, Saiko."

"Don't test me." Megami Saiko snaps. "As student president, it's my job to protect the students of the school...even if I get my hands dirty." Nemesis rolls her eyes. "Fine. I'll handle it."

"Good. We'll take down the Aishi bloodline once for all." And with that, Megami hung up the phone, leaving Nemesis alone to watch Ayano walk home.

"I'm coming for you, Aishi. And no one is stopping me."
