Time for the ball! In the ballhall!

"Rokuro, where did you go?" I muttered to myself, while I looked for the boy who was supposed to be my date.

"Hey, Benio." there he was!

"Rokuro! I was looking for you." I noticed that his gaze had turned to my waist where my twin blades rested. "What are you looking at?" I asked even though I knew what his answer would be.

"Nothing." his voice was huskier than usual. I wonder why. "Can you come with me for a quick moment?"

I nodded my head, and followed him. I realized that he was wearing a dark red shirt, which had little touches of dark blue. They were the same colors as my dress. His pants were also dark red where there were tiny specks of dark blue. The maids must have made me choose these colors on purpose. Rokuro led me to a secluded part of the hall.

"Benio...." Rokuro whispered and pushed me to a wall pinning my hands above my head. His face was dark, covering his eyes. His lips were set in a thin line. And the way he said my name.....it was almost as if he were mad. Mad at me for some reason.

"R-rokuro?" I asked, already trembling in fear. What is he gonna do? My question was answered in a few moments.

Before you can say.....say.....anything.....? his lips crashed into mine, painfully. I whimpered in his mouth, squirming under his body and unusually strong hold.

"Why didn't you tell me about my step brother?" he asked. He lifted his face enough so that I can see his eyes which were filled with rage, disappointment, and betrayal.

"S-step brother?" I asked. I thought that Arisu-sama was Rokuro's real brother. The love and affection Seimei-sama showed to Arisu-sama. The affection which Arima-sama showed to Rokuro. I can't understand a thing.

"W-what step brother?" I could barely speak, for now I was near tears.

"Arisu is my step brother. Arima is my step father. Seimei is my mother. And Rokuro is me." he glared at me through his eyes. If glares could kill, Rokuro's certainly did. "Why didn't you tell me that Arisu nearly raped you in the room while I was away. Why does he get to see you naked. I'm your husband Benio. Arisu doesn't have the rights to see your body."

He kept glaring at me. I started crying. Not bothering to stop my tears. 

"I knew you would be angry. I knew that if I would tell you the incident, your day will be ruined." I whispered. Hearing me speak must have helped Rokuro realize what he was doing. He released my hands, and placed them around his neck. He let his own arms wrap around my hips, and pulled me close for a kiss. This one was tender and full of love. Despite my crying, I loved the kiss and was happy for once.

"Sorry." he whispered.

"It's okay" I whispered back.

"Sorry Benio, I didn't realize I was hurting you. I was just mad." he looked at me "At Arisu. Not you. Never could I ever be angry or mad at you." he hugged me close to his chest, before guiding me to the hall again. Better get prepared for whatever was thrown at me. But I knew that Rokuro would keep me safe.
