after the fight, the prisoners were freed from the restraints and where they promise themselves to now serve rod. then rod finally slept in a room inside the mansion being guarded by all of the yakuza.

There was a knock in the door.

"hey rod san." Kaori said as she enters the room with a coat

"umm.. kaori san.. wh—" rod said as he hadn't yet slept in his bed

"kaori is fine.. can I sleep with you?" she said as she undressed

"why is that?"

"im your wife now, remember?"

"b-but according to sasuke, you have a bo—"

"hes dead. And I don't know what to do anymore, all of this is too sudden for me." Kaori said as she sat on the bed

"im sorry about that. Though it doesn't mean I can be a replacement for him."

"no you aren't, which is why this will be temporary."

"yes, it might. But knowing your father, he wouldn't take no for an answer from you."

"true. So let us just be friends for now."

"yes, lets just be friends."

"just what are we going to do about the wedding?"

"nothing, its mostly a settled matter anyway which is why im here right now."

"a womans body is not a thing, you are yourself." Rod then approached kaori and touched her shoulders

"yes, your right. Anyways, we will now always be together, so let us get to know each other more." Kaori then faces rod

"h-hold on. Are you really sure on what your doing?"

"yes." She then kissed him

"hold it. might you just be sad for your fallen love?" rod said as he slightly pushes her away

"maybe. We were only for 6 months anyway, though im sure that he would have wanted me happy." Kaori said as she faces the floor

"I see." Rod then hugs her from behind and pats her head

"there is no need to force things you know. If you truly don't want to, then its alright. I will just command the yakuza on my end while you will live a happy life of your own."

"that's really sweet of you rod san, which still leaves me the option to follow the ways of the yakuza as I have been taught—"

"no, the yakuza will change through me."

"how?"

"the yakuza will now be changed to a peace keeping force under the darkness."

"hmm.. I think I might fall for you." Kaori giggled

"whoa.. hold on."

"just joking. Though not now, but maybe in the future I might fall for you if you keep this up." Kaori smiled

"what?"

"you know, atsushi, my former boyfriend, wanted us to be far from the yakuza which was also why I like him. But with you, maybe you can change everything."

"yes, I will change everything. Though are—"

She kissed him again and pushed him back.

"no more buts, cause im taking the lead." She said as she got on top of him

"umm-- be gentle with me?" rod just smiled at the inevitable

Kaori smiled as she kissed him with a deep kiss and continued on.
