Chapter 2

I turn around one side, before turning once again. I groan, "What the hell!" I bursted out, now looking up at the ceiling. "Out of all people, Why choose me?!?" I sit up immediately, and grab my phone from the night stand. I press the Message app icon, and go to Shinoa's contact. Oi. I need to talk with you. I turn the phone off, and head to the kitchen. The cold floor comes to impact with my bare feet. I walk towards the refrigerator, but before I could open it, someone knocks on the front door. The knocking continues nonstop. That's Shinoa for sure.

"I'm coming!" I yell in annoyance. The knocking stops, and I open the door revealing the small, purple-haired female. She, once again forces herself in, pushing me aside. I make an sarcastic comment— as always, making her roll her eyes, but this time, She ignores it. "So! How did it go?" A bright smile is plastered on her face. I scratch the nape of my neck, looking to the side. "Great..?" I mumble. "What?" "Great." "WHAT?!?" "I SAID 'GREAT'" "I heard you." "THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOU MAKE ME REPEAT IT?!?" She shrugs, "Just to make sure."

I sigh, "I swear..I'm going to end up killing you." "Eh! Whatever." I roll my eyes. "So, it went great? How so?" I stay silent, looking at the ground. "Hm?" Shinoa walks towards me, slightly tilting her head. "Well.."

Earlier

"Good Morning Mr..Amane..?" His deep, low voice rings in my head, His ocean blue eyes looking straight at mine. "Y..Yes..G..Good-morning to you as well." My voice shakened, a bit of sweat could probably be seen on my forehead. I try to calm myself down, by breathing in, and out. But Mr. Hyakuya doesn't take his eyes off of me. Both nervous and irritated, I look away; Avoiding eye contact. "Your resume?" He breaks the silence. "..Right." I hand him the copy of my resume— Shinoa is a life saver. He opens it, and observes it. He mumbles something, but I'm unable to hear. Did Shinoa put something wrong in the resume. Is he not satisfied? "You're hired." My eyes widen, and I blink a few times, "What..What about the other men outside?" I point at the door, giving him a confused look.

"You wanted the job, Right? It's the reason why you're here..Right?" His stern tone, and cold stare makes me freeze in my tracks- I am unable to speak or move. "Mr. Amane?" I come back to reality, "Yea, That's right..Sorry, I guess I didn't get enough sleep." I make up an excuse— a lame one. "It's alright. Make sure to get enough sleep for the first day. I don't want you sleeping on the job." I nod, "Ofcourse." "I hope to see you Monday, at 7. Is that clear?" "Yes."

End

Infront of me was a laughing Shinoa, "What the hell is so funny?" I muttered, crossing my arms. "You froze up!" She continued to laugh. "The mean, matured Yūichirō Amañe froze up! Infront of his enemy!" I roll my eyes, keeping quiet. The purple-haired still continued to laugh. Tsk. "That's enough!" I smack her head, making her quiet. "Alright, Calm down.." She mumbled, rubbing her head.
"Oi, Shinoa," She gives me her attention, glaring up at me. "What?" "What did you even put in that damn resume?" "Huh?"

"That bastard just stared at me and that damn resume. Didn't ask any questions. I don't even look the type to even be a bodyguard." My tone becoming stern, my mind becoming suspicious. "Nothing. Just the basics." Shinoa gives me a shrug along with a confused face. "Lies." "Like hell I'm joking!!" I glare at her. "Then why did I get the job!?" "You think I know?!? Maybe he's interested in you!" "Like hell!" "You don't know that!"

Shinoa got up, and headed towards the refrigerator to get a beer. "Who said you could drink?" I remark to her coldly. She only ignores me. "Oi, Shinoa!" I walk towards the 18-year old. She opens the bottle, and begins to drink it before I could take it from her. "You're 18!" I scold her with the bottle containing alcohol in my hands. "Hey!! C'mon!! How come you can drink?!" "Uhh.. I don't know, Maybe it's because I'm 6 years older than you!!" She stops arguing. Shinoa looks down to the ground. "Shinoa?.." I go closer to her, and hear sobs coming from the minor. My eyes slightly widen.

I've never seen Shinoa cry before..

"Hey, you alright?" Concern could be heard in my tone. I only receive more sobs from the female. She then whispers something, "Oi, Speak up louder." Shinoa looks up at me, tears now visible. "Mitsuba broke up with me.." She doesn't let me speak, and hugs me tightly. "I don't know what to do anymore." She grips onto me, I hug her back. "Everything's going to be okay.." I say the only thing I could think of. The crying of Shinoa rings into my eyes, I begin to slowly close my eyes, comforting the purple-haired in distress.

I'm the only one that hasn't walked out
