Ranmaru Kurosaki- Wounded Heart

5. A secret can connect the heart

Ranmaru's p.o.v

The next day I didn't see her during the run but I didn't contemplate to wake her up either. Instead after the quick change of clothes I went to talk to Saotome. He was the one who put me up in this situation. He could have sent anyone. Reiji would have been a nice choice since they are closer, but for some reason i was chosen.

He asked first and foremost for the details of the event.

"I see, so that's what happened. Good thing i sent you with her." He put his hands under his chin thinking.

"You knew that would happen.?"

"I might have."

"Why didn't you warn her?."

"She would still have gone and the same thing would have happen. Tell me, Kurosaki, what was her decision?" He asked putting his hands away.

I thought about it and then figured what he meant. "She's still going after her brother, but she's going to stay here and try to make the best of her life in the mean time."

"I see" He smirked. 

"Perfect. I see you two work well together. May I instruct you to let me know now and then of her situation."

I just knew he was going to say that. "With all due respect I do not want to or think I can influence her or even help her. I think some of the Starish members or Nanami can help her much better."

"Kurosaki...I know you have a busy schedule but since you also have to work really hard have her help you out. She is still new to this world. I appoint you to the situation. Any further complaints?"

His looks told me I had to say in this and any further complains would have solved nothing.

"Fine." I got up and slammed the door behind me.

I headed to her room and knocked. When she didn't open, I burst inside. Now I had Saotome's blessing to do what ever the fuck I wanted, since he believed I could be of help.

She was still sleeping, holding her pillow tight.

 I knelled down and pushed the hair out of her face.Somehow she was cute. I leaned over her ear. "Wake up ..demon woman."

"mmm." She opened one eye and smiled. "Yes, Ranmaru?"

The fact she said Ranmaru and not Kurosaki with that sweet tone, it threw me off. What the hell. I though she hated me.

She suddenly rose up and looked at me with half hair all over her face.

"What are you doing in my room?" She pushed her hair back.

"I have to talk to you."

"Me too actually." She pushed off the covers and stumbled on her feet as she got up. "You told me to forget last night and focus on looking forward. So I did. I came up with a plan. One that has you in it."

I ignored the part where she said YOU IN IT. This won't do. Why did I have to say we last night. Damn me for not knowing how to deal with women's tears.

"So what's this plan?" I asked.

"I'll tell you. Give me a second." She rushed into the bathroom leaving me in her room. I looked around the mess. She really had no time to clean up.

There was a black lacy bra abandoned on her chair and a lacy nude colored camisole on the floor.

I turned my head the other way before I got any ideas that I shouldn't.

She got back out some time later, fully ready for the day.

"So.." She said in a rush as she was looking for her comb. "I was thinking ..and this was my initial plan. to meet him as the dark princess and ask him to do a duet. The first time I did this, his agency refused in his place because I still wasn't popular enough. But now...I'm in this agency."
