I heard all the other girls disappointment .
"Aww...."
"Wow, Esmerlyn, you never told us that."
"Shouldn't you be with you're fiancé then?"
I was shocked. Too many thoughts raced through my head. Who is your fiancé? Where is she? When did this happen? You never told me. I felt a streak of warmth slide down my cheek. Was I ....crying? And great. Just as the tears started, Yuu finally noticed I was standing where I was.
"S-Se-Senza?! Why are you crying? Are you ok?"
I just wanted to scream at him," I'M CRYING BECAUSE OF YOU! OF COURSE I'M NOT OK!!!"
But I couldn't. I love Yuu. I can't possibly yell at him. Instead, I tried to pull myself together, and wipe away my tears.
"N-nothing. Nothing's wrong. It's just that... Some... Some dust got in my eye."
I sniffled and tried to act tough.
"E-excuse me."
Right after that, I turned around and ran. I ran as fast as I could. And of course, I would run into someone.
"Hey. Watch we here your going.
"I-I-I'm so sorry."
I didn't bother to look up at who it was, and I continued to try my best and maneuver in the crowd.
As I finally made it to an area with not too much people, I found the balcony. I continued walking until I was at the railing. There, I sobbed my eyes out. Yuu has a fiancé. I'll never even get close to him now. I felt a hand in my shoulder, pulling me back. I shrieked in fear.
"Shhh...."
The person put their hand over my mouth, muffling my screams.
"Hehe, do you remember me? You probably don't. You ran into me earlier. Pay up, brat... You got money on you?"
I shook my head. Tears streamed down my cheeks, more than ever. I could feel the man's eyes travel up my body.
"...you can pay me with something else..."
He chuckled darkly to himself. I felt something slimy go up my neck. I cried even more, my tears blurring everything. Fear was the only thing I could think about. I could feel his hand go up my thigh. Suddenly, the man fell backwards on the floor. His hand that was on my mouth released me. I looked back, and there was the young man who I bumped into the other day, the one with beautiful green hair. He walked up to me.
"Are you ok?"
I was too shocked to say anything. I slumped down, about to say thanks until the young man picked me up, bridal style.
"E-excuse me?!"
"Well, isn't that what all guys do after they save a girl from a bad guys in stories and movies?"
"Thank you."
"No problem. Oh yeah, I still haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Ryo, Ryo Quin. And you are..."
"I'm Senza Takashi."
He smiled that same beautiful smile he did last time.
"Cool! Nice to meet ya!"
Before I could smile back, I felt my tears getting to me again. I was sobbing the next second I knew it.
"H-hey... It's going to be ok.."
I continued to sob on Ryo's shoulder. He didn't seem to mind. When I looked up with my teary eyes, I saw him blush.
"D-don't look at me like that... I don't know how to comfort a girl when they're crying..."
I laughed. He let me down from his hold, and I thanked him again.
"I saw you bump into him, and I figured he'd do something like that. He's a bad guy. "
I knew I was going to cry again. Even before a tear could stream down was cheek, Ryo brought me into a hug.
"I-It'll be ok."
Once again, I started crying. He patted me on the back, likely trying his best to comfort me. I heard foot steps running towards us.
"S-Senza, are you ok?!"
I lifted up my head, to see Koha. I nodded.
"Hey, take care of her for me,"
I heard Ryo say.
Koha replied with a simple sure.
"What happened?"
"I'll tell you later." When I looked back to where Ryo was standing, he was gone.Ryo's POV
As soon as that other guy rushed over to Senza's aid, I immediately backed out of the scene. That guys must be her lover... But I'm sure he's not since I guess Senza likely would've said something about me hugging her if she did have a boyfriend. I guess she doesn't... But I'll say, she's cute.
Senza's POV
I told Koha every little detail.
"Jeez, you can't stand out of trouble, can you. Be more careful next tim---"
A shout emerged behind us.
"There you are, girlie. Next time think about what'll happen if ya run away from me again!"
The man ran at me, looking like he was going to punch me in the face. But he clearly didn't see Koha next to me. Before he could get 5 feet close to me, Koha grabbed his fist with a really serious look on his face.
"Don't you dare put your filthy hands on her. Got it?"
"Tch. Who said YOU could tell ME what to do, HUH?!"
I saw Koha's impatience with the man. He got close to his ear and said something I never expected to hear from his mouth.
"Touch a hair on her, and I'll cut that limb off."
The man's facial expression from standing all highs and mighty disappeared to a scared one.
"W-wh-whatever."
The man threw Koha's hand aside and walked off.
He sighed.
"You're pulling me into this mess too."
"I didn't ask for your protection, did I?"
"Well, it's my job."
"Thanks anyways."
I tried to smile.
As Koha started ranting off at how rude that man was, my mind and eyes wandered off. There just perhaps 30-ish feet away I the crowd, was Yuu, with a worried look on his face. I immediately knew he was looking for me.
"Hey, Koha, can we go somewhere else to talk about this?"
"Sure, why?"
The only excuse that came to my head was :
"It's... Um... It's stuffy in here, and I kinda need some air."
"Ok, let's go before you faint on me."~~Time Skip~~
When Koha finished ranting, I realized I wasn't paying attention. All I could think about was Koha Koha Koha. Why?! I need to get him out of my head. He has a fiancé. Let it go.
"Hey... Koha?"
"So you finally decide to reply, huh?"
"... Yuu.... Has a fiancé..."
I could feel the tears getting to me again.
"Hey, don't cry!"
I wiped the tears, still crying.
"B-but what am I s-suppose to do now?"
I looked down at my hands.
"There's nothing I can do..."
Koha pulled me in for a warm hug.
"You still have me."Yuu's POV
Dammit. Why was she crying? I needed to tell her something, before our plan initiates. Where the hell is she? If I can't find her before 12, so be it. I've got my duties to carry out.
Senza's POV
Koha walked me back to my room after we talked a bit. He made me feel better. Whenever I'm with him, I'm always happy. I changed into my nightgown and decided to head down to the hot springs. Going down the hall, I could hear the echoes of the party that continued as many were sleeping. There were a guard stumbling down the hall, who was reeking of alcohol. He probably had a lot to drink, seeing that I could smell the stench from quite a bit away.
"H-huh... Hic...Hic..."
I knew this wasn't going to be good for me. I turned around, taking a different way. I could hear his hiccuping, getting closer. I picked up my pace. From a walking pace, I went to jog, to a sprint. I'll say, I'm a pretty fast runner, for what I do. But the guard is likely in more shape than I, so it's no surprise he caught up to me. I felt his warm hand grab my shoulder. I screamed.
"G-GE-GET Y-YOUR HA-HAND OFF OF M-ME!!!"
The man pushed me to the wall, whispering something in my ear I couldn't understand, then shoving something into my stomach. To my surprise, he walked off without another word.
"H-hey! What'd you say?"
He only waved his hand, signifying me to leave it be. I didn't know what he shoved at me, but when I looked down, there was a crumpled piece of paper. Picking it up and flattening it out, I saw that it was written in ink, and the ink had been smudged in some areas, likely meaning this was written not too long ago. But the smudges made everything harder to read. This is what I got from it.Dear Senza,
His time will be up soon, so don't hate me for this. Just remember, I always love you.
