Rekuez comes out from her room " oh... This smell... Breakfast. You cook too. My little girl is sooo lucky. Dein was never the cooking type. "
Kurama: ohaiyo. I'm glad you're settling in fine.
Rekuez sits down at the table " you always cook ? "
Kurama: we take turns. We usually eat out for breakfast.
Rekuez: I see.
Kurama: it's been a week. Since when are you going to approach her?
Rekuez: I'm letting my little girl enjoy the last peace she has before this starts going sideways.
Kurama: what do you mean ?
Rekuez: The reason why those bastards hasn't approached her is because she's still lost . They're taking their own time with a lost lamb. The moment I appear, it will start to turn messy.
Kurama: that makes sense.
Rekuez: why haven't you gone to chase her though ? You love her don't you ? Despite her being a blank page.
Kurama: I don't know what to say.
Flashback~
Arina : you're that guy who... I was in the house with... You're... You're...
Kurama: Kurama.
Arina: right... Kurama. You seem to know me. Who am I ? No, who are you to me ?
Kurama: you're Arina. I knew you as a doctor who saved other yokais.
Arina : doctor... ? No... These hands have seen blood. They do save ... But they kill too...
Kurama: Arina.
Arina : so you know where I have to go ?
Kurama: no.
Arina: so who are you to me ? Best friend ? Confidant ? Partner in crime ?
Kurama: no. None of those. I'm...
Arina: you are ?
Kurama: I'm... someone... you know. Zenos, is he your boyfriend now ? Affair.
Arina : no. I'm not into that. I don't have a boyfriend. No lover. No affair. Those don't suit me. My hands have blood. I... Am... Project zero... Made to obey... Tools don't love. They act.
Kurama: I'm someone you know very well, and I you.
" I see... Arigatou. " And she turns around to leave.
End of flashback ~
Kurama: I couldn't tell her I was her husband.
Rekuez: fair enough.

Zenos gives Arina a kiss on her lips and looks into her eyes " we've been doing this for a week. Do you want to take this a step further ? "
Arina : a step further ?
Zenos : a room, a bed, two of us.
Arina blushed a little " .... I don't know."
Zenos : it's ok. You don't have to force it.
Arina : this... Us... We're just friends right ? What you're suggesting... It won't change that right ? Just for fun.
Zenos was a bit taken aback " Friend..."
