-Mana P.O.V-
"How painful...", my chest tightened as I walked through the crowds.
I'm on my way to Ryota house, he invite me to his house, it would be impolite to refuse his offer.
"Forcing myself to act fine in front of Seijuro..it hurts", I screamed mentally.
"Oi! Watch it!", a man yelled at me because I accidentally bumped him. "I-I apologize!!", I bowed. The man snorted and left me.
"Mother and father want me to forget about Seijuro...and move on to Ryota, they said that Ryota could give me more happiness than Seijuro...maybe I should give in? Starting a new life with Ryota?", I questioned myself.
"Manacchi".
"Maybe I should do that...for the best...".
"Manacchi!!!!", Ryota yelled at me. "What? Ryota? Why are you here?", I asked. "I wanted to pick you up, but I guess you already left...so...that's why I'm here", Ryota smiled. "I see...then we should get going Ryota", I forced a smile. "Manacchi...don't push yourself too hard...", he said concerned. "What do you mean? I'm perfectly fine", I lied. "I know that you're lying Manacchi", Ryota stroke my hair.
"Ryota...".
"If you feel sad, please tell me, I will come straight at you", Ryota pouted.
"No thanks", I decline.
"Geez! How meanie!!", Ryota pouted.
"By the way Ryota, your family live here? In America?", I asked.
"Nope, they happened to be here to take a holiday", Ryota said bubbly.
"I see...well then...".

"Ryota-kun!!", an elegant looking woman hugged Ryota. I arrived at Ryota residence, geez I never thought Ryota this...wealthy. His house is big...it's huge. "Mom, this is Mana Mayoi I told you", Ryota hugged me playfully. "Ryota, get off", I said annoyed. "But Manacchi-". "So you are my son bride-to-be...", his mother glanced at me.
"Why is she staring me like that?", I sighed.
"How cute!!".
"Eh?".
"Mana-chan, you're so cute!!", his mother squealling. And then two girls came out from the room. "So this is Ryota-kun girl!? She's cute!!". "OMG!".
"Noisy", I exhaled.
Ryota realizing I'm disturbed by their voice, he calmed them down. "Mom...onee-san...calm down". "Oh right, sorry", Ryota mother sighed. "So Mana-chan, do you like Ryota-kun?", one of Ryota sister asked me.
"I don't know...", an image of Seijuro popped out in my mind.
"Stop asking weird things onee-san!", Ryota looks upset, it looks like he knows that his sister question weighing me down. He winked at me.
"Thank you...Ryota...".
"Hey, Manacchi...I want to show you something", Ryota gestured me to follow him. He grabbed my arm, gently lead me to a room...the room is full of instruments and fashionable male clothes. "Ryota...is this your room?", I asked. "Yep, it is!", Ryota replied.
"Please, remember Ryota-kun. No sex until marriage", his mother said bluntly.
"A-As if I do that!!!", Ryota blushed madly. My face reddened into seven shades of red. When his mom mention 'sex' it sorts of remind me when Seijuro did that dirty stuff before his departure...wait, what am I thinking about!?
"Manacchi, what's wrong?", Ryota shake me off.
"Oh no! It's nothing!", I blushed.
"Ahahaha, I bet you're imagining it!", Ryota said teasingly.
"No I'm not!!", I said madly.
"Then what are you dozing off for?", Ryota turned serious.
"Well...".
"Did you do...that kind of stuff with Akashicchi?", Ryota question make my heart jumped.
"Calm down...calm down!!! Well we almost did 'that' but...it's not that far!!I mean-", I hold my chest.
"Manacchi?".
"No", I faked my expression.
"I'm glad! That means I will be your first time!", he hugged me.
"What the-".
"By the way Manacchi, I'll show you something nice", he smiled. "Manacchi, lay on the bed".
"Huh?".
"Don't be shy", Ryota said encouraging. I did what he said. "Next, close your eyes". I close my eyes, I feel the lights have been turned off and also I feel a slight thump next to me. "Open your eyes", Ryota whispered. I opened my eyes abruptly, the walls, the ceiling of the room is glowing. There's saturnus, mars, and several asteroids 3D glowing sticker.
"Ryota, you're a kid", I laughed.
"That's cruel!!", Ryota faked crying.
"But it's sure pretty, thank you Ryota, they look real", I smiled.
"Manacchi...", leaned closer to me.
He kissed me passionately on the lips.
"I...don't want to get hurt anymore...Seijuro...".
"Mana", a gentle voice called me inside.
"Seijuro? SEIJURO!!!", I pushed Ryota as his gentle face appeared in my head.
Ryota fell from the bed. "Ow...that hurts...", Ryota winced in pain. "I apologize...", I frowned. Ryota sit next to me and pat my head, "I know it hard to forget Akashicchi, but I'm sure you can". He pulled me to his embrace, he rested his chin on my head. "I love you Manacchi...".
"I...love you too", that forbidden words escape from my lips.

"My head hurts...", the red head emperor crawled in pain on the floor.
"I...who is she!? WHO IS MANA MAYOI!? WHY SHE CAUSE SO MUCH PAIN TO ME!?", the redhead screamed inside his head.
"Seijuro, I'll be waiting", that familliar voice haunting inside Seijuro Akashi head.
"I want to meet you...who are you...?".
